American FiddleS.

When Wilhelmj, the violinist, was in
Washington recently, he was the guest
of Secretary Schurz, who is, as is well
known, n musical amateur of note and
skill. Mr.. Schurz regards Wilhelmj MS
one Of the greatest masters of the violin
the world has seen. Wilhelmi told him
the curious fact that the best violins now
made anywhere are made in this coun-
try; and it seems that the masters OF this
noble instrument will send to New York
or Brooklyn when they need tirst-class
violin. Three men. it appears, have by
their skill mastered this branch of art
two of them are Gcrmans-the brothers
Schmunde; the third is an American,
Walter Cotton, himself musician Of de-
cided skill, and from his eighth year an
amateur of the violin. Mr.. Cotton is the
son of the Rev. Walter Cotton, a we'll
known author, chaplain in the navy, and
the first Alcaldc of Monterey, in Califor-
mia, after the Americans took possession.
The elder Cotton died many years ago,
and young Cotton was educated under
the care his mother, now the wife OF
Representative Chittenden, of the Brook
lyn district. lie was graduated from
Columbia College, studied for the medi-
| cal profession, married Miss Litchfield,
of Brooklyn, and travelled in Europe,
where his fondness for the violin de-
vclopcd into a passion. He hunted
up the most celebrated old violins,
and on his return began to make instru.
ments, at first only for amusement. and
to give away to his friends; but present
" there arose demand which has OF
late kept him busy. Ole Bull, Rcmenyi,
Wilhelmj, and all the noted professional
players come to his house, and send him
their Instruments when they need repair
ing. He employs no workmen, but makes
all parts Of the instrument himself. hav-
ing contrived many of the tools he uses,
md he aims to make but a small number
Of violns in the year. Many valuable
violins are sent him from different parts
of the country to be repaired; not long
since one was received which was insured
during transmission from Western city
to New York for $500, and the owner
presented Mr.. Cotton with bow valued
ut 500 for repairing the instrument. 1t
is certainly odd that America should be
so famous for violins that the great play
ers ofthe world acknowledge the superior
merits of American inStruments.-Har-

1fNparaiieiei Human Fcr0ci!y.

The Rangpoh Undia) correspondent
of the London NeUS writes to his paper
IN account of the inhuman slaughter OF
about ninety members of the royal Bur
mcsc family at Mindcluy. The masSa-
ere was ordered by the King If Burma!,
and the persons .butchercd were all re-
lated 10 lin. The correspondent says:
AZ first .?.e massacre was carried on ac-
cording to tn old Burmese use and wont.
The victims were led out of their cells
in twCS md threes, brought to Shc6'o
to the King, and then disposed of in or
dinary Buddhist fashion. The head OF
the victim was tied down to his ankles.
and blow on the back of the neck from
a heavy club put him out OF pain. But
this soon proved too mild spectacle
for the ticndish mania Of Thcebau. The
Thongzai prince, whose insolent bearing
English visitors to Mandelay will re-
member, on being brought to do revur-
ence: to his young brother-the king is
Just sttwenty-one-professed an utter scorn
for what could be done to him, and
was flogged to death. The late kings
oldest son, the truculent Mekhaya
Prince, who used to look on all foreign
ers as so much dirt under his feet, turned
craven, and was taunted and driven to
madness before receiving the blow,
which only half stunned him, when
his writhing body was thrown into the
gigantic trench dug to receive the VIC
tins. The massacre was carried on in
q leisurely fashion, extending over sew
eral days, fiendish ingenuity being taxed
to the utmost to devise fresh horrors.
Moung Oke, the Governor of Rangoon
when it was captured by the British in
1856, had his nose and mouth filled with
gunpowder, light was applied, and
he was then flung into the trench to be
stiflcd by the bodies of succeeding vic
tins. The daughter of the Nyoung Yam,
q young girl Of sixteen, was handed over
to eight soldiers of the Royal Guard, to
be pitched insensible into the same heav-
ing grave. After some days of this sort
of thing, the executioners got weary,
and hurried through their task. Little
children were put in blankets and swung
against the palace walls; women were
battered over the head, as taking less
trouble than tying them up so as to lget
blow Mt the neck Altogether about
ninety persons are believed to have been
put to death in this way. No one was
allowed to leave the palace while the
massacre was going on, but it seems
certain that Mr.. Shaw, our Resident,
was inside the palace walls within n
very short time Of its commencement.
He had been to concert given by one
ofthe ministers. One object of this p,Cat
was to drown the cries of the victims.
The remonstrance which Mr.. Shaw, at
the instance of our government, ad-
dressed to the king was received with
the utmost contempt, and he was told
in as many words to mind his own
business; that Burmese domestic affairs
had nothing whatever to do with the
British government.

even, to some extent, to governing It, the

The late DR.. w. II. Hall, in m article
about taking care of the eyes, said:
NIilton's blindness was the result oi
ovrrwork and dyspepsia.

of dollars in value, and lost years of time
in consequence of getting up several
hours before day and studying by arti'
fetal light. His eyes never got well.
Multitudcs of men and women have
made their eyes weak for life by the toe
free use of the eycsight, reading small
print and fine sewing. In view of these
things, it is well to observe the following
rules in the use of the eyes:
Avoid all sudden change between light
and dark
Never begin to read or write or sew for
several minutes after coming from dark
ness to a bright light.
Never read by twilight or moonlight,
or of cloudy day.
Never read or sew directly in front oi
the light, window or door.
1t is best to have the light fall from
above, obliquely over the left shoulder
Never sleep so that on the first waking
the eyes shall open on the light of a
window.
Do not use the eyesight by light SC
scant that it requires an effort to dis
criminate.
Too much light creates glare, and
pains and confuses the sight. The mo.
mpnt you are sensible of an effort to dis
tinguish, that moment cease, and take o

A good story is told of General Cliff
ford, Lord Chelmsfords second in com
mand in South Africa. One day in
British Caffraria, during the Caffree war
of 1865, he was in the act of sitting
down on the ground, placing one hand
beneath him for that purpose. He felt
something clammy to the touch, and
found to his horror it was putf-adder,
Il most venomous reptile. Another man
with less self-possession would have re-
moved his hand, probably to be stung in
the act. Not so Clifford. With great
presence of mind he held the snake down
firmly with one hand, with the other
drew his clasp-knifc from his pocket,
opened it with his teeth, and then coolly
severed the reptiles head from his body.

A Gold Mine Swindle.

Boston capitalists have recently been
swindled out of about 100000 in con-
nection with the purchase ofa Brazilian
cold mine, known rs the San Cyriaco.
The capitalists bought the mine on the
strength of samples Of "waShingS
furnished by IN old colored man whose
apparent innocence and ignorance would
disarm suspicion. 1t was not until the
money was paid over to the brazilian
owners of the mine that the discovery
was made that it was not n veritable
bonanza. The expert who had been
sent to investigate, and who had previ-
ously reported that the mine was very
valuable, closely observed the operations
of the colored "washer.n lie saw that
the washings," instead of being rich
in each successive yield, tapered off,
until there was hardly any return what
ever. Then it was seen that there was
fraud somewhere. 1t appears that the
washer had been in the habit of filling
his mouth with gold-dust. lie was an
incessant chewer of tobacco, and he eN-
perforated gold-dust with the tobacco
iuice. The water carried away the
latter, and left the PARTICLES of gold
dust, thus indicating n large yield.
When the washer was not closely
watched, he could replenish the stock of
gold-dust with which he watered" the
earth, but when watched, his supply
soon ran out, and his game was eX-
posed, when he confessed the fraud.
'sSalting" mines is not a new thing;
but the shrewd Boston capitalists did
not expect that this product of ciyiiza-
ton was highly developed in Brazil.
They have learned, however, at an ex-
pense of S4OO, 900, not to put their trust
in Brazilian mines, "washings " from
which are exhibited by expectorating in
dividuals, and that 1000 per cent. profit
in a short time from mining operations
cannot always be absolutely depended
upon in advance.

Many hundred thousand dollars are annually
expended by ladies for "artincial" appliances
to hide the shrunken and wasted form, or the
sallow skin, blotchcs, or liver spots, which arc
due to female weakness, dyspepsia, torpid liver
and constipation. If q small per cent. OF this
sum were invested in DR.. Pierce's Favorits

weaknesses and diseases upon which debility
and cmaciation depend. 1t cures dyspepsia by
