Is unconstitutional to hayc tariff for rcye-

Editors Pi2ot:-As the time fol ad-

has passed and the season for writing
sonnets to the &c Happy Spring time, .
has come, perhaps an effusion which
forgets not the former but refers prin.
cipally to the latter, may not be amiss.
SO here goes:

At a recent soiree in Paris NJ. Trouve
showed live fish with its body light
ed from within by his polyscope, a
minute form Of which with CONDUCTING
wires passing to the hands Of the oper-
ator, the fish had been caused to
swallow. The whole body became
transparent in the dark, SO that the
vertebrae could be counted and all
details examined. 1t is expected that
a great variety of uses will be found
for this little instrument.

An exchange says: Col. Thos. A.
Scott retired from active business life
with SIS. 900, 900 worth of bonds.
lands, houses, railroad securities, etc.
1t is thought that by practice of rea-
sonable economy he viii be able to
keep out If the poor house. All in
all, Thomas A. Scott is one of the
liberal, humane men of the age and
many heart is made happier because
of LIS acts of charity.

across our path, and /" bar" tracks
were as thick as East Tennissee black
berries in June. We travelled up this
valley three or four miles until We
again struck the snow, where We
camped for the night, so as to take
advantage of the crust on the snow in
climbing the mountains in the morn
ing. We built fire and slept or
dozed beside it all night, without a
blanket or an overcoat. During the
night We were startled by a noise and
thought herd of buffalo we're about to
run over us, and jumped up just in
time to see a snow slide come rushing
down the mountain side a short dis
tance off. For breakfast We took a
cup Of cold water and then drawing
our belts up two holes tighter, started
up the mountain, the frozen snow civ
ing us good foot-hold. We reached
the summit OF the ridge, went down
into Poverty gulch, found and staked
our claims and then started back. We
retraced our steps down the mountain
and valley to Anthracite creek, at the
foot OF Mt. Marcelina, but found out
when we reached it that the raging
stream could not be crossed at that
point, and then retraced our steps two
and a half miles and crossed on driA
Then over steep bluffs and down into
ravlnes We went. This fatigued me
SO that gave cut and stopped into a
-ravine leading into Anthracite canon.
Taylor went on, thinking he could
make the toboggan and grub and
bring me back something toeat in the
morning.
l kindled a fire against a large
boulder and lay there all night, being
bombarded by the pieces Of rock
which the fire caused to fly from The
boulder, without grub or blankets. Al
peep Of day l started out following q
t<zsck which | supposed was Tay!or's
but as it became lighter l discovered
was a hugh bear trail, but as l wa:
about as hungry as any bear that had
lived on paw-am all winter, l kept or
until | came IN view of Mt. Owen,
and taking my bearings, made the to.
boggan with the grub and blankets in
IL about 0 clock, but found no Tay-
lor there. He had also been
obliged to go into camp after travelling
a mile from where l stopped, but in
the morning had proceeded two and
half miles above the toboggan to a
miners cabin, where he reported tha,
| was broken down eight miles below
them on Anthracite, having been
thirty-six hours without food.
Two of them prepared some grub
and Immediately started out to find
me, and as was cooking breakfast at
the toboggan came up.
We went back to their cabin to-
gether, and after having been enter
tanned with hospitality only known
to miners, We started out and arrived
in Irwin in few hours.

FEEDING Il GIANT.


A restauranter Of Brooklyn lately
had for guest Chang, the Chinese
giant.
A reporter happened to dine at the
restaurant several weeks ago, and had
Chang fora neighbor. Alittle natural
curiosity led him to note the bill Of
fare of the giant. First Chang order
ed oysters. raw, on the shell next,
steamed oystezyon toast; then green
turtle and printaniere soups, and, after
that, fish, including broiled shad, filet
de sole, ,sauce taftare. and boiled
salmon with lobster saue
The reporter thoughH yhsg would
stop there. but the. .sfsnt politely sig;
a;6ed tQ ahe atl6dant that he ~as
waiting 1or~the next article on his
written bill of fare. So he had for his
entrees turkey wings, jardiniere, and
chicken croquettes and tomato sauce
Then he attacked with gusto roast ribs
Of beef and half chicken stuffed, &C
companied by fried parsnips, sugar
corn and boiled onions. He appeared
to weary at this point, and mildly
asked for small plate of plum pud-
ding, piece of apple pie. and little
