The lost ten tribes of Israel are at last found, if the Anglo-Israel Ensign is to be be- ieved, and, strange to say, England is the land of the finding. Those who think the British nation identical with the long missing tribes argue, in brief, that the promises made to Abraham and his successors included all the posterity of Jacob; that the Jews, the people of Judah, have preserved their sepa- rate existence, and why should the ten tribes be less tenacious of their identity? Josephus says they were beyond the Euphrates, and were an immense multitude Sharon Turner and others say that the birthplace of the great British nation was Media, precisely where Josephus placed the ten tribes. More over, the promises to Abraham of the power and numbers of his descendants and their permanent prosperity are exactly fulfilled, these people say, in the history ofthe British nation, and their fu1fllment cannot be found elsewhere. The evidence seems mea- gre and equivocal but it satisfies the ex- pounders of this theory. It accounts also in their judgment for many things, For example '"The identity of our people with lost Israel supplies the only reason why we possess Cyprus, and why, holding Cyprus, no nation shall ever deal with the destinies of Assyria, Palestine and Egypt but the British. " The identity is also said to be 'the only req son that can be given to account for the bril- liant displays of Protestant philanthropy emanating from onr nation, contrast to the barbarous atrocities enacted by the Turks, Servians and Russians upon their battle fields" This theory also offers a comfort able prospect for settling the Irish question, for the Irish are not distinct and hostile race, but fragment of the lost tribes, the tribe of Dan. ''There is abundant evidence, D it appears, ''that the tribe of Dan settled in Ireland.'' They also settled in Denmark, Dan-mark, so that the Irish and Danes are near of kin This will do for hot weather.

The Democratic papers are rejoicing over the following alleged extract from decision of Justice Swayne:
 The agreement with General Garfield, a member of Congress to pay him &, GOO as a contingent fee for procuring a contract which was itself made to depend upon fu- ture appropriation by Congress-whieh appropriation could only come from a committee of which he was chairman-was sale of official influence which no veil can cover, against the plainest principles of pub lie policy. No counsellor-at-l law while hold ing high office has right to put himself in a position of temptation, and under pretence of making legal argument, exert his official influence upon public officers dependent up- on his future action. Certainly the courts of justice will never lend themselves to enforce contracts obtained by such influence.
 It iR now stated that those in charge of the records of the court declare that Justice Swayne never rendered any decision con- taining the above paragraph. Still, the Democratic papers will probably claim that they know more about the decision than those who should have it in custody, if it exists,
 The silver question is ve1ing one with the Treasury department officials, as they do not know what to do with the cheap silver dollars that the hints keep turning out. The assistant treasurers at the East have for months been at their wits ends for storage room for the silver that the country refuses to absorb into it's circulation, and now the as- sistant treasurer at San Francisco reports that the vaults there are more than full, and something must be done to provide room for the supplies of dollars that keep coming. Of 63, GOO, 900 of the socalled standard sil- yer dollars that have been coined only 19,- GOO, 900 are in circulation, and the hints are turning out 2,3OO,oOo of these dollars that nobody wants every month. When Congress meets in December, the necessity for the con- struction of additional vaults for the safe keeping of this travesty on money will be so much more urgent than it was at the last ses- sion that it is difficult to see how the Con- gressmen can avoid doing something.

4 LIVING SKELETON.

Professor A. B. Arnold lectured yes
terday before a class of 321 students at
the college of Physicians and Surgeons
OF Isaac ". Sprague, 'the living skele-
tom" Sprague, who is now thirty nine
years cid, was present during the lecture.
He was born in Massachusetts, and was,
until twelve years old, healthy boy
The disease of muscular wasting came on
gradually, and after few years he was
compelled to leave the shoemsker's bench,
where he was working with his father,
and seek some other mode of earning his
living. he engaged himself with show
men. When twenty-six years old he
married, and has now three fine healthy
boys. His height is five feet nine inches,
and his weight forty-six pounds, His
disease, the professor further explained,
was known as progressive muscular vast
ing, some attributiug it to disease of the
muscles. The accepted theory, and
which Professor Arnold advanced, was
that it was due to disease of the spinal
cord. In its early stages electricity is
used with advantage. The present case,
the lecturer explained, was a remarkable
one, both for beginning 50 early and
lasting 50 long, as the disease generally
killed in five years, while this had lasted
twenty-seven years. The length of life
in the present case was due to the fact
that the disease had not involved the
muscles of respiration and deglutition
(swallowing) which were only now begin
ming to be affected. The head aud face
muscles were also in good condition, but
the muscles Of the body and extremities
had disappeared. The subject still had
good appetite. The right side was not
so much involved as the left. There was
patient at the city hospital, some weeks
ago, suffering from the same disease,
which had begun in the muscles OF the
hand. He contracted it in Colorado
The disease is said to be due to c0ld.-

SIXTY MILES A MINUTE ON 4 TIN
PAN.

Arthur Fitzpatrick, who returned from
Colorado short time ago, gives the fol-
lowing account of an occurrence in the
mining districts, of which he was an eye
witness: "a miner and some compan-
ions were crossing the Continental Di-
vide when it was covered with SNOW
Three miles below them, down a decline
OF forty-tiye degrees, deeply covered with
frozen snow, lay the spot they desired to
reach, while to go round by rail was
fifteen miles. The miner took tin pan
used for washing gold, spread his blan
ket over it, got in himself in a squatter-
ing position on his launches, tucked the
blanket around, held his rife and other
traps over his head and got one of his
companions to give him push. He
informed me he went down st the speed
Of sixty miles a minute, and shot far out
into the rai!ey at the foot OF the noun
tain. When he stopped he found the
soldering of the pan melted from friction,
his blanket on fire, and 1t was his i'm
preston that had he gore much further
he would have been burned up, together
with al his traps"

fair health when they landed, so they
obtained the large price offered by the
geological Gardens; but in spite of the
most devoted care, he seemed to languish
in his new home.
"Do you love me. Joe?" the man end
ed his story with. Joe nodded, smiled,
and put his head lovingly on the others
shoulder.
As We left that day, Joe took his hat,
cane, and heavy wrap, and escorted US to
The great door of the monkey house,
shaking our hands as we bade him good
bye.
Another time when l called he was
taking tea, using milk and sugar, and
handling cup and saucers as if he had
been familiar with them from his earliest
days. He motioned us to take chars
We did 50, and he jumped up, found
cups for us, and then passed plate Of
biscuits, laughing with glee as we took
one. l have taken tea with many cur
ious individuals, but never expect to be
50 honored again as to be invited by
chimpanzee.
Noticing his hand was faverish, found
his pulse was 130. [ said "What is the
matter with him?"
Consumption is what kills all of them,
the man answered, low, just as if talking
before human invalid.
From that day Joe failed rapidly, and
one morning under the head of ''Great
Loss" The Times announced that he
diad at midnight.
| went down at once to see the keep
er whose grief l knew would be keen.
He told me how many days Joe could
only be persuaded to take food by seeing
him eat and hearing him praise it, how
he made him sleep in his berth by his
side, and when death came, held his
hand through all the last struggle.
The mans voice was actually choked
with sobs as he said, ''It don't seem
right, indeed it don't not to have fun
eral for him! He ought to have had it"
Ineyer heard Joe had any funeral,
but did hear that hS was stuffed, and
looks more like big boy than when he
was alive
