A Modern Jacob.

The Philadelphia TeiegrGph's Paris
etter says: was recently told by a
Young French gentleman the son OF
the prefect of La Rochelle) one of the
straDgest romances OF real life that ever
came to my knowledge. Some four
wears ago peasant boy who lived on
a farm near the town of Clermont-
Ferrand saw and fell in love with the
beautiful daughter of n gentleman OF
good fortune and position, he being Mt
that time seventeen years of age and
the young lady was just sixteen. The
new" Claude Melnotte was so madly
in love that he went straight to the
house of the young girls parents and de-
manded her hand In marriage. The
father treated the preposterous PROPOSE
tion with good-natured scorn. Come
back when you have an income of $40,
600 GOO, 600 irancs)." was his answer,
land then we will see about it," The
infatuated youth took him at his word,
and forthwith set to work. Now one
Of the peculiarities of the town of Cler-
mont-Ferrand is scarcity of water.
There is no river near IL, so it relies
for its supply on springs and wells.
Under these circumstances spring is
valuable piece of property and COM
mandsa relatively high price. So the
young peasant lover set on for an ad-
jacent mountain, there to search for
hidden springs. My informant said that
he had honey-combed the whole side OF
the mountain with his works, construct
ing at one point tunnel over two
miles in length. All this was executed
with his own hands. He worked from
dawn to dark, lives upon potatoes oi
his own planting, and never spends SO
much as a sou upon mug. of beer.
Every Sunday he goes to church in the
town, after which he proceeds to the
house of his lady-love, to.ask If $ he is
married or likely to be. On receiving
tentedly homeward, and starts out
afresh to his toll on the morrow. This
life has continued now for full four
years. Up to the present time he has
discovered three important springs,
each of which he so ID for $1,000, but,
though now possessed of what man in
his condition of life is wealth, he
abates none of the hardships of his ex-
istence. He has one idea, namely, to
become the possessor of fortune sufli-
cient to enable him TO claim the hand
of the object of his blind passion. Yet
no one who knows the parties ever
imagines that the young lady will ever
consent to marry him. She is now
twenty yeal of age, and is pretty, re-
fined and accomplished, while he is
coarse and unlettered, without even
physical comeliness, as he is short and
thick-set, with broad. stolid counten-
ance. What will be the end of this

Bits OF Information.

In the manufacture of tobacco, mo-

and glyeerine are USED 10 impart sweet
taste. Common salt and other salts are
used for favoring. and nitrate of potash
or soda Is added to increase its com bus
tibility. Anise and other aromatics are
added for their flavor, and smoking to-
bacco has its odor, If not its taste, i'm
proved by the introduction OF cascarilla
bark. Cabbage and other leaves are
often used TO adulterate chewing TO
bacco.
In cold weather, horses which have
been driven rapidly. or have become
heated from exertion, throw off great
quantities of steam or vapor. The
reaso of this is that the heat thrown
of from the body on coming in contact
with the colder air Is condensed in the
form of vapor. The principle is the
same as that which causes the windows
of n close room TO become covered with
ice on a cold day in winter. The warm
air OF the room becomes condensed on
the cold glass, and 1t is congealed in the
form of ice.
Previous TO the time of Queen Eliza
beth stairs were all constructed on a
circular plan, and were called turret or
corkscrew stairs. During the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries staircases
with wide, straight flights were first in
troduced, and were made the leading
features in mansions of the Elizabethan
style. They had usually massive oak
balusters with carved panels and pen
dants. Staircases of this description
are still in common use, but are lighter
in style, light cast-iron being used in
= cad of oak baiusters.

Fish Culture.

Norway leads the world in her
fisheries, with an annual production
valued at Sl3, 600, 600, and yet we have
opportunities for expanding to limit
even surprising these enormous figures.
The artificial propagation of fish has
been attended with encouraging results,
first In Germany. then In France, and
latterly in the United States, having be-
some one of our most important in
dustries. The United States fish COM
missioners say: Norway Is the only
European nation that has scientific
commission occupied officially In the
supervision of the fisheries and In de
vising methods by which they may be
carried on and extended with the least
possible waste. To the labors and
observation of such mon rs DIR. Boeck,
Professor Sars and others, Is due much
OF the present efficiency of the Nor
wegian fisheries" In 1857 we imported
about as much fish as we exported. If
we devoted sufficient energy TO the
business we could export one hundred
times as much, and need import none at
all. Fish culture Is In its infancy. Its
resources are immeasurable. It may
approximate and even rival agriculture
in importance. Its development will
give employment to large numbers Of
men and bring food within the means
of the poor as well as of the rich. The

b1lks can hsve his attention diverted
there is usually no trouble in starting
him. This may be done in various
ways. of which the following are few
that have been employed: Take the
horse out of the shafts and turn him
around quite rapidly. This will make
him entirely dizzy and lead him to for
get that he does not wish TO draw. the
load. A stout twine twisted around.the
foreleg has been used "a n remedy with
good results. 4 string tied around the
ear has the same effect. We have seen
horses of the balkiest sort started in a

their mouths. Even n piece of sugar or

A New York correspondent says: j. G..
Shaw, the colored editor of the New York
Sufragist, who has just returned from Ia
diana, where he has been speaking in favor
of Hancock and English, said last night: 81
spoke at the wigwam at Indianapolis on the
night when Governor Hendricks denounced
Garfeld's connection with the Presidential
fraud and replied to the indianapolis Jour-
nal, which had challenged Mr. Hem
bricks to prove the statements made
by him in his speech at Marion
last month. The speech was one Of
the grandest ever heard and the enthusiasm
of the audience was indescribable. When
Governor Hendricks called upon his neigh
bors to stand by him and the truth against
the apologists for the great fraud the cheer
ing lasted full ten inmates. The campaign
in Indiana looks we'll. The Democrats seem
equal to the great emergency. The people
are extremely enthusiastic and at State head
quarters great industry and system prevails.
Mr. English works necessarily and is very
ably seconded by Mr.. Rice, who seems to
never know fatigue or require rest. The
Republican campaign is noisy and turbu-
lent. There is no question but
that a large number of ne
groes have been imported to Indiana to
vote the Repu blican ticket. was in po-
sition to know about this matter. 1t is de-
testabls to see the extent to which the voters
of my race are being used as political slaves
by the Republicans. I think that many
bona ide colored residents of Indiana will
express their opinion of it by voting with
the Democrats. Of what value is en1anc,-
patton from slavery if they are to be driven
like sheep from one State to another at the
will Of political slave drivers. believe
that the wise management of our leaders
and the popular enthusiasm for Hancock
and English will battle the Republican
schemes and elect the Democratic candi-
dates"
