The business man who gathers
round him his clerks or en-
ployes on the Sabbath, and
spends the day in card playing and
liquor guzzling with them, need not be
surprised if his clerks occasionally find
thir pay insufficient to keep up the style
of living which he has taught them.
He ought not TO be much disappointed
if the clerks carry his lessons to ex
tremes, and resort to robbery to make up
deficiencies. Sooner or later, too, he must
come to that condition, financially,
which compels settlement with credi
tors at thirty cents on the dollar. The
attempt may be made TO treat such prac
tees as a joke, and as very funny, but
everlasting business ruin follows close
on such performances

HeGruey,ssunday speech,

SAN FRANcIsco, March There was
good attendance az the Sand Lots to-
day. Kearley warned bis hearers
that those men who incite then to deeds
of violence are their enemies and must
bs avo ded; that the workingman has
nothing to gain hy violent measures,
eto.
He then went on TO announce that q
grave plot was afoot on the part OF
the alleged enemies of the workingmen
to precipisate riot, in preparation for
which Federal troops had been ordered
to this city, aud Vigilance committee
put in shape for active duty.
Aside from the motives imputed BY
Kearney to the authorities, there is
some truth in his statements. The
Gatllngs have been removed to the pc
lice station, and there are rumors th't
some additions to the United States
forces in the vicinity ofthe city are be-
ing made.

in the practice of mutilating standard
silver dollars. 1t Is a fact not general
ly known that silver coins with holes
bored or punched in them will not be
received at the Treasury. By punch
ing largo hole in a silver dol
lar from five to thirteen cents worth of
silver is taken out. individuals rarely
refuse to accept these mutilated coins,
a. they pass readily. Manufacturers
who obtain large quantities of silver
suffer NOS. by the nut a ion Of coins,
AZ the defective pieces cannot he ex.

Treasury. The penalty for fraudu-
lently mutilating coins is fine of not

Delaware city Mosquitoes.

A Philadelphia paper says "a will.
low ire, in Independence Square,
which has full crop of new leaves, is
but an ius.ance of what may be seen
in various parts ofthe city and vicinity.
The recent mild weather has renewed
life in vegetation generally, but par.
ticularly in grass, winter wheat and the
maple and willow trees. Many of the 81
are bursting their buds a month before
the usual time. Farmers report wheat
high enough to hide a rabbit, and the
turf in most localities is already as
green as If the season, under ordinary
circumstances, were four weeks further
advanced. There would seem to be ad-
ditional proof Of the premature advent
of growth favoring weather in the report
of veracous Delawarean that within
the last three days he has found the
acquaintance Of twenty-nine frisky
mosquitoes quartered in the neighbor-
hood OF Delaware City"

A despatch from New Philadelphia,

exhibiting couple Of trained bears
through that section, got into sorious
trouble with their trained ami
mails on the road between New Phil
adelphia and Beach City. They were
met by a party Of drunken roustatouts
who commenced fooling with the bears,
and insisted on the keepers making
them perform. One fellow, getting toe
near, was seized and tightly embraced
by ore of the animals. This frightened
the balance of the crew, who com.
monc4d firing their revolvers, killing
the bear and wounding two Of the by.
ISLANDERS, one in the arm and the other
in the leg. Had the bears not been
muzzled it is likely the trouble would
have been more serious still.

An insane Asylum Burned.

The main building of the State
Asylum at Ossaw atomic, Kansas, took
fire Oh Monday evening about five
O'Clock, and was completely destroyed.
The fire was first discovered in the
centre of the building, ana spread to
other portions. The damage is esti-
mated at 100000. The wings were
saved by great effort. The officers
and employees acted coolly, and by
their efforts no lives were lost and the
inmates were prevented from escaping.
several persons were slightly injured
in fighting the flames. Great excite
ment prevails in the surrounding
towns. Every available team was put
in service, loaded with people and
sent forward in haste to render all
the assistance ia their power, 1T being
known that the institution contained

Mexican Fairy Land.

A correspondent with General Gran

was made one day
"Another advance, and. the party
came to q plateau, Of perhaps fifty acrei
at the further side Of which we're drawn
up In dress parale the 18th Infantry
finely equipped and wearing the air o
veterans. The uniform OF the Mexicar
soldiery-that 10, Of the best troops-is
OF dark blue trimmed with red, and
looks extremely we'll. They are armed
with. Remington rifles. Leaving the
coaches, the visitors were conducted
down steep, winding road, just made.
evidently, and were at once ushered
upon scene that was a surprise indeed,
At the foot Of the ravine was small
level space where the luxuriapt under
growth Of vines and brush had been
cleared out, and under the thick but
tonwood trees WAS built a bower. and
beneath It was spread table magnif-
cent In Its array OF china and plate.
The pavilion was worthy Of Admiration.
1t showed the primitive skill Of the
natives, for 1t was fifteen feet high and
GOV cred with a thatoh Of bamboo foli-
age, hung with ponderous wreaths and
fsstoons Of leaves, and the structure
stood firmly under the strain. Like
the temple Of old, it had heen built
without the sound OF hammer. Every
part was bound to its fellow by withes
and vines, and the architecture was
complete. Skirting the cleared space
where stocd the bower, on the one hand
was the hill, on the other the river,
with the mountains rising beyond.
Most peculiar and beautiful Of all
was the freak of the water at this point.
II ruus over broad bed between two
mountains, and threads its way through
a dense grove Of bamboos and gigantic
grasses to this spot. Here the water
falls in a series of cataracts over the
ledge OF this natural dam of trees, bam-
boos and boulders, into narrow chan
mel, and 1t at once changes front aud
flows at right angles to the fall proper.
Great buttonwood trees, covered With
luxuriant air plants that cling to their
branches, overhang the fall. Tufa has
been made by the percolation of the
the water through the mass and reeds
that clothe the sides of the
rocks, and it drops like brown
stalactite curtain across the openings
where the grasses part as if to disclose
something beyond over which this can
opy of stone has been suspended as a
curtain to cover and preserve tie Sc
cret. Then comes, plunging, in little
fosming sections, this fall, that at first
sight appears to dow directly from q
meadow of canes aud ssdge. No trace
is seen OF it till it springs full-borne
from its soarcr. There are few cata
rac,s ss Ieauliful or as peculiar as this.
After | oking at tho falls breakfast was
served. 1t was noon, but, As in Cuba,
this is the breakfast hour, and is the
first neal OF the day worthy Of name.
