The TeIl-Iale Floor.

SShado WIS are substantial things In
Gold Hill. The local editor, whose
reputation for veracity Is not question
ed by his own Journal, relates that In
the earlier days of July John Abbot was
taken from the steaming depths of the
Union" with his head crushed by a
falling wall-plate. He was laid on the
floor of the Office, and medical aid was
summoned to minister to his wants,
although it was plain that he must die.
The next morning Superintendent
Rooney noticed that where the dying
man had been placed his outline lay
like a shadow on the floor. He order
ed the janitor to clean the boards. Be-
fore Rooney went to dinner the shadow
reappeared, He ordered the floor
to be thoroughly scrubbed and went to
his family. The next morning the
floor showed that vigorous application
OF soap and brush had been made, for
ir was white and clean. Bnt during the
day that shadow returned, and at night
there it lay as though the man was still
waiting for death on that door. The
next day Rooney ordered the floor to
be painted. With the coming of the
paint pot the shadow vanished, but
after day or two returned, and once
more limnedi itself on that Office floor.
Rooney again ssn for the painter and
had a second coat of paint put, not
only where the shadow lay, buS over
the entire floor. In few days
there it was again, and each day it
grew more and more distinct. Even
strangers at lenght began TO notice it
aud comment on its resemblance TO
human form. Its presence at lengh be-
came intolerable, and Rooney had all
the boards OF. the hsOr on which this
heavy and terrible shadow rested taken
out and replaced with new. The paint
brush then followed, and now that out
line figure from the floor has disap-
peared.

AGRICULTURE.

POULTRY ON THE FARN.-To keep
poultry on the farm is economical.
When a farmer keeps herd of cows, a
flock of sheep, together with horses and
hogs, there is always room on the farm
for a good stock of poultry. Even
when all the COWS, sheep and hogs, are
kept that there is room for, there is
still room for poultry. 1t is almost q
necessity for every family to keep a
pig, in orde- that the refuse and house
slops may be utilized; it Is in the same
sense that poultry are valuable-they
are the scavengers of the farm. There
Is no class OF fowls that require very
much room on the farm. still, they do
require room and attendance, and they
may be kept in such shiftless manner
that they will be found Improbable.
All kinds of poultry may be kept, pro-
vided they may have the run of the
| barnyard; but they, must be kept In
such q manner as TO prevent their raw
ages in garden and grain fields. Tur-
keys, ducks, geese anu hens may be
kept all summer without using one
20 Quare yard of room available for any
oIher purpose. Care should be obser-
we'd, in providing for ducks and geese,
that they may not have the privilege
for such they will deem it-Of fOuling
the water required for the stock, or
| making themselves nuisance In any
other manner. Young chickens and
| turkeys will require some care for the
| drsr few weeks of their existence after
that, they may be trusted to care for
themselves to a Areat extent. Poultry
NAV be raised and flock of hens kept

Cleopatra's Needle.

After sustaining the dangers OF being
lowered from its pedestal, and endur-
ing the perils of sea, Cleopatra S
Needle, one of the distinctive features
and worlds renowned ornaments OF
Egypt, the cradle Of Arts, was landed
safely at New York early on the goth
of July, in charge of Commander Cor
ringe, who has superintendei the
enterprise from the beginning. The
steamer, with the obelisk in tow, left
Alexandria on the twelfth OF June,
passing Gibraltar on the 20th, and met
with no accident or incident worthy of
remark until the morning of July 9th,
when one of the engine crank shafts
broke, which caused delay until the
18th, the intervening week being spent
in replacing the broken shaft with an
extra one the Commander, by good for
tune had brought with him in spite of
the opposition of the late owners. The
entire journey occupied five weeks and
three days, and the huge gift now lies
in New York Harbor, with not a
scratch, with not a broken corner. 1t
is a single shaft, 20 feet long, feet 3
inches wide at the top. 1t weight 200
tons, the pedestal 43 tors, the founda-
ton, and steps "a tons, while the ma
chinery used in lowering it weighs 60
tons. The site for its erection in Cen
tral Park has already been assigned. :.
and the work of removing it to the
place will begin at once. One by one
the proud monuments of Egyp.'s anti
guilty, art, and skill, are being taken
from the land with which their nam es
and fame have become indissoluble, to
enrich the museums and antiquarian
collections of other lands. Already
her works of genius and patience are
scattered among the nations whose
education remembers Egypt with fond
ness and desires her riches for memen-
toes and keepsakes, and soon no tourist
will visit the once famous country.
Those who love Egypt for what she
has been in the past and for what she
has done for the arts and sciences, can
no. but give passing sigh of regret to
think how barren and desolate she is
being made by the corruption and in
difference of her rulers and the enter
prise and emulation of foreign nations.
With these monuments of her past ex-
alted estate scattered among the modern
surroundings, and amid the modern
sounds of Vienna, Belgium, Paris,
london and New York, the minds eye
sees nothing there but wild wastes of
burning sands, the Sphinx in its lone
illness, and a remnant Of the pyramids.
And, perhaps, when the New Zealan-
der, whom MaCaulay's prophetic vision
saw contemplating the ruins of London
Bridge from the crumbllng walls of the
Parliament House, some bright genius
from Alaska may have even transport
ed the lonesome Sphinx to mediate, by
the chill currents of The Arctic Sea,
upon the fleeting glory of nations and
the fickleness of fortune. However, in
the general scramble for her grandeur,
we are delighted that our own country
) getting no mean share.

Treatment Of YellOp Fersr in A. .frieG.-
A French physician-spoken OF rather
as heir to the once famous Duke of
Irammont-Cadero than in the ca
pacity of practitioner-Dr. Declat,
has instituted by proxy at Senegal some
valuable experiments on the treatment
Of yellow fever, with apparently very
satisfactory results. NJ. Declat had been
led to infer, theoretically, from the
symptoms of the disease, that picnic
acid might be used in such cases with
some probability of success as Il pr0phy-
lactic as well as a remedy. He accor-
dinghy forwarded dozen bottles of the
compound to missionary, with prac-
tical instructions as to its use, and the
request of report on the facts. The
missionary, an enlightened man with
some knowledge of medicine and con-
siderable experience of yellow fever,
makes return that not only did he actual
iy rescue from imminent death, by
means of thi, remedy, several natives
who where writhing under the pangs
of the disease, but that he himself owes
his life to its use.

rumbling r for o Match.

Shortly after twelve O'Clock few
nights ago Philadelphia guest at one
large Atlantic City hotels was awaken
ed by nudge from the sharpest of his
wife's sharp knuckles. As he opened
his eyes he saw by means of the ex-
tremely faint light that penetrated
from the hall into the room the figure
of man, who stood silently by the
bureau and who, as it appeared, was
fumbling for whatever valuables might
tall into his clutch. The wife clung
to her husbands arm and trembling SO
violently that the latter feared lest the
burglar should hear and escape. Re-
leasing his arm the guest slipped noise
lessly rom the bed and, holding his
pillow as shield, he reached the burg
lar at bound. In the midst of crush
ed chair aud broken bric-a-brac the
robber went down, with his assailant
on top. The robber struggled hard to
rise, but, being stronger, the occupant
of the room soon had the thief spread
out at full length with the pillow on
his head, The conqueror's wife struck
light as quickly as possible and rang
sharply tor an attendant. When the
night clerk reached the room he saw a
thrilling tableau, the chief figure OF
which was a powerful Othelio strang-
ling a male Desdemona In the middle
of the floor. But the scene was set in
comedy after all, for when the pillow
was removed the thief's face showed
him to the highly respectable occupant
of the adjoining room. a dear friend
Of his assialant and all together
above reproach. He simply had mis-
taken the wrong room for the right one
and when knocked down was fumb-
ling about for q match.

The destruction of the Bastile, whose
anniversary was recently grandly cele-
brated in Paris, has assumed, though
of small importance in itself, wholly
disproportioned consequence in his
tory because it turned the current OF
events at the capital in favor of the
people. When the Bastile was attacked
by an armed mob, infuriated by the
reactionary policy Of the court, the
garrison was composed of but So inva-
lid soldiers Of the regular army, and
80 Swiss mercenaries. The negotia-
tions of the insurgents with Delaunay,
the Governor, merely caused the re-
moval of the cannon pointing to the
Faubourg st. Antoine, and had no
pacifying effect ON the exasperated
crowd. Some members Ofthe mob hav-
ing cut the chains of the first draw
bridge, a fight ensued. One Of the
garrison was killed, and one hundred
and fifty of the people were slain and
wounded; but the arrival of part of
the Kings forces, who had Joined the
popular cause, with four field pieces,
rendered further defence Of no avail.
Delaunay, who had been prevented
from blowing the fortress into the air
by firing the magazine allowed the Sec
ond draw-bridge to be lowered, and the
bowling, frantic populace rushed across
it, killing the Governor and several of
his officers on the spot. The day fol-
lowing, July 10, 1883, the demolition
of the Bsstile began, amid the thunder
of cannon, the pealing of organs, and
roars of joy and triumph. The popu-
lar notion is that hundreds of miserable
political captives were released. The
fortress would not hold, and never held
but 20, and on that memorable occasion
only unknown men and forgers
were delivered. The chief actors in
the stirring scene were the 654 whose
names are engraved on the commem-
Grating column in the Place de la Bas-
tile. The famous building was origin
ally the Castle of Paris, and built at
the Porte st. Antoine, by order OF
Charles V. 1370 s3), by Hugo Aubriot,
Provost of Paris, a. defence against
the English. Afterward converted into
a State prison, during the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries, its vast bull
warks AM bitches were added. On
each of its longer sides the Bastile had
four towers, of five stories each, over
which ran a galley armed with cannon.
Partly in those towers and partly in
subte-rarean dungeons, the political
prisoners were conf ned. The Bastile
was bad enough, but its horrors have
been greatly exaggerated.
