A One-POund California Infant.

For week past, saws the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, the rumOr has been cur
rent in Oakland aud on the ferry-boats
that the Athens Of the Pacific had pro-
duced q phenomenon, second only in
Importance to the giant-powder eXplO-
sion, in the shape of One-pOunder. d
A reporter was yesterday dispatched to
investigate. and was admitted to a view
of the smallest sample of the genus
homo he ever beheld. TWAS lost at the
time in a set % ordinary baby clothes,
the mother, a delicate-looking young
woman of eighteen, finally finding it.
1t was twelve days of age, and named
Albert. Though perfectly formed, rs
babies 90, it was all head, like prairie
dog. and the head was the tiniest and
prettieSt little head that ever mother
smiled over. The eyes were large
enough to be decidedly blue, the nose
was as different from the usual plebeian
wart which babies affect as could be
imagined, being well defined, and the
little mouth reSembled closely prop
erlv planted bullet-hole from a 22-re-
vOlver. A fine head of hair crowned
the little grape-shOt Uranium, and a
plentitude of wrinkles ali over the fore
head gave an appearance of gravity and
knowledge of the world to the new citi-
zen far beyond its days. The proud
little mother raised several acres of
drapery and exhibited two tiny feet.
They were so small that both occupied
with ease an ordinary baby shoe, and
each demanded doll pedal garment
for neat fit. The hands, though COM
pletely furnished with finger nails,
looked precisely like those of baby
monkey in size When born, on the
goth of May, it weighed about twelve
ounces avoirdupois. Three days after
ward, after it had much increased in
size, it weighed one pound. The father
and mother are Mr.. and Mrs. William
Sangey. Mr.. Sangey is a painter by
trade and a young man, and thinks just
as highly, if not more so, of his son as
if he weighed fifteen pounds. Albert
at present is lively when awake, and
very hungry and very sleepy in general,
these being the only prominent quail
ties OF his temperament as yet.

Decorative Art in London House.

What bedrooms! The guest chamber
is made of fire and flowers. That is to
say, the bed, toilet table, washstand,
cabinets are all plain gold. The shut
tiers are plain gold. The windows glow
with colOrs such as the Alhambra has.
Through Moorish trellis-work these col
ors shine, the subjects being only viSi
bic by scrutiny. What is nOtpUre gold
is crystal; the knobs on the bedposts,
the shelves of the tables, scintillate with
facets. The whole room is like an an
cient shrine or reiquaire.
The walls are painted with a deep
frieze of flowers, growing an ndtUreL.
which relieves the mass of gold by myr
lad tints When we have breath our
eve is caught by one of the cupboards,
whereon Socrates is seen teaching an
eager boy; above, Xantippe, leaning
out of window, is Just cooling their en-
thusiasm for science with her ever.
Below, rabbits and foxes sport and
flowers grow everywhere. A bookshelf
of gold holds the books the fair inhabit-
ant is to read.
The kind of furniture loved by Mr..
exact description of one piece-say the
washstand. Up to now washstand
has seemed an impertinent sort of affair
to be kept out of sight; but here we
have a gem fit to splash at all day
in poetic enjoyment. 1t is of gold,
with fragments of bright stones and
shells inlaid; those called " Venus
ears - have been largely used.
Every blank space is carved infinitely
in flowers, beautifully tinted, and we
discern q lizard or two and some but
terllies among them. Thicls crystals
inclose small shelves, where a scent
bottle. some hundreds of years old, and
a tOothpowder receptacle, some thou
sands, nestle and shine. Marble plates
receive the soap. A fine bronze, which
most of US would place on some table
for ornament, here makes itself useful
a bull, from whose throat ajar the
water pours into 2 Brescia basin, inlaid
with silver fishes. How do you get the
water in? See you that other bronze,
a tortoise, which seems to creep beyond
the bulls fell reach-it is plug; twist
him round and the bull fills the basin.
Such is the use which Aladdin makes OF
bronzes, and 1 beg to add that the lapis
and amber and crystal and marble are
not papier-mache and glazed chalk
they are the real thing. On one wash
stand we read the quaint inscription
from Chaucer, This is the mirrour
perillus on which the proude Narcissus
sey his faire face bright" In unexpect-
ed places little taps and handles shine
forth made of coral or silver with I'M
cut stones enfixed therein.
Aladdin's own room and his bed are
quite unlike the Golden Chamber. The
room is almost wholly scarlet. Around
the wall runs a cornice of conventional
waves full of fishes, which in some
places are almost deceptive in glitter;
these are life-size. 1 fell quite in love
with one mackeral but l gave him up
for a syren, who combs her yellow hair
over the fireplace. More cupboards and
dressing tables, crowded with precious
TASKS of gold and cloisonne, detached
us from the syren; and the scarlet bed
with its tail headpiece, painted by Henry
Holiday with the Sleeping Beauty,
very charming production, rooted US to
the spot, London Queen.

Incidents in the Passion Play.

Late English papers have long ac-
counts of the recent performance at
Oberamergau and it is agreed that the
simple villagers acquitted themselves
after a manner which deserves the high
est praise Every scriptural detail was
carried out to the letter, and even in
the Crucifixion scene one could not have
told positively with the aid of a strong
glass, that nails had not been driven
through hands and feet. When the
thrust of the centurion spear produced
a crimson stain over the heart OF the
Christ - distinctly audible expression
of almost terrified surprise ran through
the vast assemblage.n The mien of
Pontius Plate was beyond all praise. A
wood-carver took the part and acted it
better than any other part in the play
was acted. He is man "of such fine
physique and lofty bearing that he could
easily pass for noble Roman anywhere
without assuming the gorgeous cOrslet
and gittering diadem of a pro-consul."
After the part of Plate the best acted
was that of Judas. The scOwls, the
visible avarice, the shoulder jerkings,
the stealthineSs and the suspicious face
of this character, WERE" says the Times,
truly admirable, and his haggling for
an increase of the bride offered him
could scarcely have been better done
even by Shylock." Several famous
paintings served as the originals of GER
tain scenes. That of the Last Supper
was an almost perfect living copy of
Leonardo's great work. The Christ
bearing the cross was after Paolo NerO-
nese; the Descent was after RUbens and
the Entombment after Raphael.

1t appears that Japan is likely be
IOre long to commence a new branch Of
export trade with Europe. DR.. GagG-
ardi, an Italian geologist, who is pro-
fessor at the japanese Polytechnicum of
Toxic, was charged some time since to
inspect and report upon the mineral
products of the Hraki mountain range.
He has come upon an extraordinary and
almost inexhaustible treasure Of marble.
One mountain, which has the appear
ance of being a pure white from base to
summit, is almost wholly composed of
the very finest statuary marble. In an
other part of the same range Professor
Gagliardi found immense quantities of
black marble, equal to the best known
in Europe. He reports that if the dis
covery is properly utilized and sufficient
means for transport are provided, Japan
can not fail to become one of the first
markets of the world for the marble
trade.

Agricultural Experimenting.

We do not know of anything which
would be more interesting on farm
than small experimental ground. New
plants and seeds come into notice every
year. but only few know which are the
most valuable, and the great public de-
ponds on the newspaper editor, some
interested correspondent or the reports
of some agricultural society to tell him
all about them. Finally, on the strength
of what he reads, he invests considera-
BILE money in some article or another,
plants considerable ground with it and
finds out only when too late that it is
not at all suited to his climate or soil.
1t oftentimes happens that an article
really good in a majority of cases is of
very little value in some particular spot.
This is just the sort of knowledge no
paper or society can teach, but which
small experimental garden would read
lily supply. At market, or when visit
ing friends, one often has few seeds or
roots given him which may be very use
full to him, but which are lost chiefly be-
cause there is no spot assigned for the
testing of these things. There is, in
deed, disposition in many cases to re-
gard these presents of new things as
bores, and they are often accepted be-
cause it is not thought courteous to
wound friends feelings by refusing
what he regards as somewhat of a treas
ure. But besides the pecuniary value
which often results from trying expert
ments, there is great amount of pleas
ure from watching things grow that we
never saw before; and we are well as
sured that no one who established a
small experimental ground on his farm
could ever after be without it.-Ger-

SAVING is Wealth.

There is nothing new in this, but it is
a subject fraught with so much import
ance to the young who would succeed
in life, that it is well to refreshen their
memories by often repeating the axiom.
Moreover, waste and extravaganza have
been the bane of our times. Owing to
these multitudes have become bank
rupt, and because of them many are to-
day unable to make any Roadway in the
world In the face of all the lessons of
the past and of all the warnings of the
present, there is a strong disposition to
spend money recklesSly in dress, equip
ages, entertainments and innumerable
useless ways. STRIPPING boys and young
misses think nothing of devOting more
every month to dress than clothed their
fathers and mothers for year; and yet
they appear TO no better advantage in
society and are no more respected than
were these same parents in their youth
full days. Every cent they can make
for themselves or wiring from parents
or friends is disposed of without any
thought of the bad habits they are Gull
tivating, of the demands of sickness
and old age, or of the possible crimes
to which they may expose themselves
in the hour of temptation to meet the
results of their OUTLAWS.
The great difference between those
who save and those who do not in the
struggle of life, consists not so much in
early advantages or superior ability,
Otherthings being equal, as in the power
to resist wasteful expenditure and sin
full indulgences and to save something
One evening lately, Hon. William E.
Dodge, of New York, delivered an adj
dress embodying his recollections of
New York for the last sixty years. Near
the close he uttered these words, which
should be carefully weighed by every
young man and woman:
In conclusion, permit me to say
that, rs | think of my early business
life, | am impressed with the fact that
those young men who were then known
as industrious, high-minded youths,
conscientious in the discharge of their
duties, were those who succeeded in
business on their own account; while
many who had better opportunities
failed. because they would indulge in
pleasures which not only impaired con-
fidence. but wasted what might have
aided them in commencing for them
selves. All young men should aim to
save something each year, even at the
expense of limited wardrobe and MANY
little things which they think necessi-
ties. If there were none but young men
here, Iwould say that from the frstye
when | entered store, with salary of
fifty dollars, to my last year-when as
a salesman / received for those days
very large pay never failed to save a
portion; and when | started in business
that sum and my experience were all
my capital. "-Erchapge.
