The experiment of irrigatiug lands in the
neighborhood Of Paris with water from the
sewers is said to be working successfully.
Sterile tracts of lands have been converted
into fertile plains, while no increase OF sick
ness among the inhabitants has followed, as
was apprehended.
Adyices from Panama to the 18th instant,
report serious troubles in the interior, grow.
lug out of differences between the State and
General Governments. The State of Antro-

into revolution.

How Ia Lived So Long.

For several years past have had liv-
ing with me an old negro, a very in
dustrious and faithful servant, but quite
iliterate and exceedingly superstitious.
Having formerly been a sailor and
navigated every sea, and miner in the
early days Of California, he has store
of information, some real and some i'm
aginary, on very many subjects. Fact
and fiction, however are so curiously
mingled, his notions about things are
apt to be so grotesquely different from
the generally received views, his mis-
pronunciation so droll-in short, he
comes out so strongin such unexpected
places-that he affords constant fund
of entertainment. A few days ago
some one had been telling him the pre-
dictions of French astrologer who had
been prophesying the almost entire de-
struction of animal life on the earth by
1887 from pestilence and famine. He
recounted the story to me with much
solemnity, and at the end he said;
II specs it's true, for there's great
many more folks dyin' now than there
used to be-"
Although / had not observed any
such increase in the death-rate, | ven
tured to remark that perhaps he was
right, as l had noticed many dying this
year that never died before. The joke
was stale enough. 1t answered the pur.
pose however, and he replied with
considerable emphasis:
That's So" Then he asked me:
"How long is it since Columbus discov-
cred American
almost 400 years"
$40 hundred years. said he, ina
half musing, half questioning sort of
manner. Il specs there's no pusson

thought not.
"Well," he continued, al knowed
the first man that ever was born d in
America"
Where was that?'
"Oh, back in the States, in New
Hampshire, when was boy"
WAS he an indiana"
"Oh, no; he was a white man"
What kind Of looking man was heP'
"a little old, withered-up man."

"Oh. no. He was mighty spry-
spryer than a good many young pus-
sons"
How did he live?"
"Oh, he lived off the Gov ment; he
had COMMENT office"

The Emperor Nicholas and the Gypsy,

In the recently published memoirs of
Karatygin, the famous Russian actor,
will be found the following characters
tic anecdote OF the late Emperor Nicho-
las. His majesty happened one day to
be engaged in inspecting state peni-
Tertiary in one of the provincial seats
of government, and took it into his head
to question some OF the convicts re-
specting the nature of the ofenses for
which they were suffering punishment.
"What are you here for?" no asked of
one. 81 am innocent, imperial maies-
ty," replied the prisoner, falling on his
knees; "a victim Of false witness! A
church was robbed-a beadle knocked
on the head-the peasants caught hold
of me and knew nothing about it."
Turning TO another, the Gar asked,
"And you?" False witness again, i'm
perial majesty. A pedler was done for,
close TO my house. I never even dreamt
OF such a thing" "And you?" said
Nicholas, TO q third. "Sheer malice,
sire. One of my ncighbors conveyed
lot of forged notes into my pockets, and
hid away a photographic stone in my
bedroom. l am as innocent as an UNI
born babe"
The emperor, obviously bored by
these successive protestations Of guilt
lessness, cast a glance along the line Of
prisoners until his eye fell upon rag
ged, wretched-looking gypsy, whom he
beckoned forward with the words, "Of
course, you, too, are here on false
charger" Not bit of it, your majes-
ty," replied the Tsigan; ''its all fair
and square as far as am concerned. /
stole pony from tradesman.' "Stole
apony, did you?" said the Gar with
laugh, and then, addressing the gov
ernor Of the prison with well-assumed
sternness, said Turn that good-for-
nothing rascal instantly out Of doors.
! cannot allow him to remain a minute
longer in such honorable and virtuous
company, lest he pervert all these good

The dimensions OF the new Cunarder,
the Servia, which was launched on the
Clyde, recently are Length, $50 feet !;
breadth, 81 feet; depth. A feet 9
inches; gross tonnage, $500 tons. A
better idea of the huge size of the vessel
will be gained by the following facts:
Her cargo capacity will be equal to g.
300 tons, with 1880 tons of coal and
1000 tons Of water ballast, the vessel
having a double bottom on the longitu-
dinal bracket system. The anchor
davits are s inches, and the chain cable
pipe % inches in diameter. The pro-
peller, boss, and blades. which are made
Of Vickers steel, are 38 tons in weight.
The machinery consists of three cylind-
crs, compound surface-condensing en-
gines, one cylinder being " inches and
two 100 inches in diameter. with n
stroke piston of feet inches. 1t is
anticipated that the indicated horse
power will amount TO 10000. There
are in all seven boilers. six of which are
double and one single-ended, and all
are made of steel, with corrugated fur
naccs, the total number of the furnaces
being thirty nine. Practically the Ser.
via is iive-deckcr, as she is built with

Some time ago the authorities of one
Of the largest hospitals in London took
measures to ventilate all the drains and
sewers in connection with their institu-
ton, and previous to which movement
pyemia and erysipelas had almost driv-
en- the medical staff to despair. When
the whole of the ventilation was COM
pleted, and as soon as the pressure was
removed from the traps of the closets
and layatories, no fresh cases were
found to occur, and for months the hos
pital wards were free from both erysipe-
las and pyamia. Suddenly, however,
there was fresh outbreak of these dis
eases, but it appeared that the epidemic
was confined TO one of the surgical
wards, built apart from the main build
Ing on the pavilion plan, and having
only one story. Close investigation
proved that the ventilation pipe in this
wing had been stopped by a careless
workman; and, on thus being remedied,
all traces of the epidemic disappeared.
