The island of Saghalien, to which a
large number of persons suspected of
being connected with the Nihihst con-
spiracy are to be deported from Odessa,
lies off the mouth of the Amoor, and
extends for some 600 miles along the
east coast of Manchooria, from which it
is separated by the Gulf of Tartary.
The island was occupied by Russia in
1853, in pursuance of the policy she has
steadily followed for two centuries of
bringing the Russian seaboard on the
Pacific down to temperate climate.
In 1875 japan gave up her share of the
island to Russia. Owing to the ex-
istence Of coal on it, and also through
its position as natural outwork, cover
ing the estuary of the Amoor, Saghalien
is in some respects q valuable posses
sion, but it can hardly be esteemed a
desirable place of residence. Situated
in from latitude As degrees to 81 de-
grees north, its climate appears to be
much colder than that of most other
places in the same parallel; and the
island, it is stated, is entirely covered
all the year round with fogs of extraor-
binary density. Attempts have been
made to COLOMBO the island, but with
out success.

Father and Two Sons Marry Mother
and Two Daughters.

Mr.. J. l.. Holcomb, gentleman of
Kentucky, but, who has been in Critten-
den county, this State, for several
months, tells us of a rather remarkable,
though hardly unprecedented matri-
monial affair, which occurred in that
county recently:
Out from the line of the railroad, and
aside from almost any other very we'll
defined mark of civillzation-marks so
ill-delineated, in fact, that they are as a
half-worn date on an ancient coin
there lived old man Rosebury and two
sons, twins. The age OF the old man is
rather doubtful, but it is believed by his
near neighbors, the nearest of whom
are within stones throw, that is. if the
stone be thrown a mile and half, that
he is about 80. The sons, being twins,
are about the same age-H. The near
est human babitation was house occu-
pied by Mrs. Glenn aud two daught-
ers, though, pity to say, the daughters
were not twins ut the time of their
birth, and had not yet succeeded in at
tanning that point. Mr.. Rosebury fell
deeply in love with Mrs. Glenn, and the
two sons, Robert and John, fell equally
as much so with the two daughters,
Mary and Rachel. The most imagin-
able wholesale love-making en-
sued. The old man and widow
seemed devoted to each other,
and the younger people were sufficiently
so to marry, which they all did on the
same day. After the ceremony the six
happy souls and the six happy bodies
,o,oa;xal o., tba cas;dapoa &c fha b,,O-
bands. Everything worked smoothly.
The old man was very kind to his newly
made daughters, particularly so to Ra-
chel, the wife OF his son John. The
kindness increased, and the other mat
rimonialists marveled, one to another
The old man even disregarded the
wishes of his wife, and Rachel snuffed
her Grecian nose at her Roman nosed
husband. One morning about two
weeks after the marriage, the family of
several divisions discovered that the
old man and Rachel had gone. Search
ing and not being able to find them,
but, learning from ferryman that they
had crossed the river into Tennessee,
the family returned. Pretty soon an
intimacy sprung up between Robert,
Mary's husband, and the old lady. Tie
old lady was so wise and had had such
broad experience that Robert never
grew tired of pro6ting by her counsel.
Another disaster. Robert and the old
lady ran away, leaving John and Mary,
who, seeing, as they were not blind, that
they were left alone, clasped themselves
in loving embrace, FIR it seems that
they had loved each other from the
first. Did they stay on the farm? No
sir. There is a mortgage on it. They
packed up, and, according to the ferry
man, went over into Tennessee.-Lu
tie Rock (Ark) Gazette.

divisions. He planned 90 nicely that
these six would burn twenty-four
hours; and he always kept one lighted
day and night before some holy relics
and images of saints which he had, and
which, being very pious man, he car
ried about with his luggage wherever
he went.
He would now have had not only toll
cradle light, but very good way of
marking the hours, il the candles had
always been sure of burning a given
time. But if the wind blew the flame
would flare and, perhaps, go out, and
the King made up his mind that there
could be something done to remedy
this, and he did it. He made q frame
work and fixed into it little plates or
windows of horn, scraped so thin that
the light could shine through, set his
candle inside and shut it in, and the
thing was done. He had q lantern,
sure in all weathers-a very small affair
to you, but it was great one to him.
1 once saw picture of rude Saxon
lantern somewhat like his, perhaps,
though it was probably an improvement
on it; for no sooner does one man in
vent thing than another finds way
to make it better. This, in shape, made
me think of bird-cage without the
tray or railing. 1t had kind of cupo-
la-ike top, and was much ornamented;
there were bands with bosses on them,
looking like metal, around the bottom,
the middle, and next to the roof, and
there was pretty arched door. Alto
gether, it was very curious but a
rather clumsy and rather dark lantern.

and one OF these traditions places the
unreserved control of the affairs OF the
house down to the marriages OF its
members in the hands of its chief. The
son OF the Rothschild just dead has for
years sat in Parliament, and is general
ly a man of note, but, when the pur-
chase of the Suez canal shares was
made on account of the British Govern
ment, it was found that rs far as his
fathers business was concerned this son
was a mere clerk, and in no sense a
partner. He succeeds now to the alb
solute power his father welded over the
greatest aggregation of private ca ital
the world has ever seen. Like his
father, he has the reputation of being a
man of great personal liberality. The
health of the dead Rothschild was poor,
his temper execrable, and in business
he was merciless, but his charities were
great, unostentatious, and on broad
scale.

The French Government reduced
the rate of postage on letters from to
3 cents year ago, and also made
large reduction on newspaper postage
and telegraph rates, with the result here
stated In Paris paper: The reduced
postal rates adopted on the LIST of May,
1878. have cansed a decrease on the
year of II, 695, 900 francs in the receipts,
but the telegraph rates, though also re-
duced, have yielded an increase of
3,198,OO0 francs, and the average aug
mentation of 100000 letters will soon
wipe out the deficit. In 1850 the num-
Der of letters posted was 159,500,OOO; in
1859 it was 2sO,9OO,OOO; and in 1869,
64,7OO,OOO. In 1870 the war caused q
fall to 2S1 300. 900; and in 1871, with the
loss of Alsace- Lorraine, the number was
only 3O5, 100000, but in 1872 it rose tc
$40, 700, 900, and in 1877 it was 393,SOO,
600. Newspapers, cards, patterns, etc.
show similar results. In 1850 the.
numbered $4,000, 900; in 1859, 10000,
600; in 1869, 367 100000; in 1870, 34S,
100000; in 1871, 2S3,OOO,O0O; in 1872
297 900; and in 1877, 46S,9OO, 900.

THE present eruption of Mount Etna
has not yet done anything like the
amount of damage effected by former
eruptions. One of these, which occurred
in May, 1880, was peculiarly violent
while it lasted The annual Register
of that year states, on the authority of
letters from Palermo, that seven differ
emit openings were formed on the sides
of the mountain, and several villages
were completely destroyed. The at
mosphere at Palermo was so completely
overcharged during two days that OBJ
jects at twenty-five PAGES could hardly
be discerned. The people, fearing an
earthquake, went in crowds to the cathe-
dral to bring out the image of the saint,
but were dispersed by the magistracy.
The cloud of ashes, borne away by a
hurricane which at that time prevailed
throughout the Mediterranean and de-
stroyed several vessels, reached as far
as Rome. It carried desoIation into
Calabria, where the olive trees suffered
severely.

The London bankers are now using
an electrical machine for the detection
of bad or light gold coins. A stream OF
coins is gently shaken down a brass
slide, and one by one they fall upon a
testing bar so delicately adjusted that a
slight deficiency will set an apparatus
in motion which jerks the bad coins out
at side escape-hole, while the good
ones pass into another receptacle. The
invention saves good deal of time and
is correct to the minutest point, and the
royalty of 5000 year which the in
ventor gets on every machine is not
considered exorbitant.

A LARGE real-estate transfer is noted
in New York-the transfer of the entire
block bounded by Seventy-eighth and
Sevepty-ninth streets and Fifth and
Madison avenues. The block includes
eighty-two building lots, and was part
of the Douglas estate. The price is
100000. Last year the same property
was in the market at 100000, and be-
fore the decline in real estate was held
at $1,3OO,OO0. A portion of the Alex
ander Hamilton estate, bounded by
One Hundred and Fourth and st. Mich
olas. Tenth and New avenues, 800 lots,
has been sold for $4,000. In 1872 a
round million was offered for this same
property and was refused.

An Amended Proposition.

1t occurred in Bodie, that city Of
whisky, wealth and wickedness. A case
was on trial in the Justices Court, and
during a recess one of the interested
parties approached juror and said:
Say, boss, if that ar suit goes agin
me I'm nigh on $4,000 loser in mimi
property. Now, I'll give you $500 to
hang that jury
"it'd be cussed onsartin job for one
man to take rope an strangle that
hull gang, an I'm afraid afore l got
through l might dance jig under it
myself; but if it's all the same to you,
pard, mout wade in thar with six
shooter an wipe out the crowd. That'd
be more to my hand than hangin', and
the job could be done quicker. 1t that's
satisfactory, produce tie coin an I'll git

German Proverbs.

One has only to die to be praised.
Handsome apples are sometimes sour
Little and often makes a heap in time.
1t is easier to blame than to do better.
1t is not enough to arm; you must
hit.
Would you be strong, conquer your
self.
To change. and to be better are two
different things.
Everybody knows good counsel ex-
cept him that hath need of it.
Better free in foreign land than q
slave at home.
Better go to bed supperless than run
in debt.
There is no good in preaching to the
hungry.
Charity gives itself rich, but covet
business boards itself poor.
Speak little, speak truth; spend little
pay cash.
