THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1881.
TWO LITTLE TRAVELLERS.

| On Thursday last, the 18th inst,
there arrived at the @. M. IL st.
P. depot, in this city, by the SIS
train from Milwaukee, two little
boys, seyerally aged ) and 6 years,
| billed as the "Parker Brothers. "
| They had come unaccompanied by
| any relative or attendant, IN charge
| Of E. r. conductors, from the or
phan asylum at Carson City, Ne
vada, and were on their way to the
home of their grandmother at or
near Poynette, in this county.
Through tickets for their passage
had been purchased at the said
place Of shipment, and placed in
an envelope with little money
with which to purchase necessaries
for them on the way, and this en-
velope with the freight, dearly pre-
cious to somebody, had been COM
mitted to the conductors, to be
passed on with the children from
one line Of railroad to another, I'M
til they should reach this city,
where the agent was requested to
take them to ahotel, at which they
could be cared for during the night,
and the next morning sent to Poy-
notte and delivered to the agent of
the railroad there, who was to leave
them with the postmaster, where
they would be called for.
The boys were received at the
depot, in this city, by Mr.. Geo. S.
Merrill, and in looking into their
| envelope, he found the above his
tory and directions, and a single
dollar Any one vino knows Geo.
and his wife, need not be told that
these little boys did not pass the
last night Of their nine days jour
ney at a hotel but were taken to a
pleasant home on Cass street,
where they had kind and encour-
aging words spoken to them, were
we'll fed and allowed to play upon
the ground once more, which they
are said to have enjoyed immensely.
In the morning, they were dispatch
ed in good shape to Poynette, their
last dollar remaining in their little
treasury, where doubtless they ar
rived i'll safety and met their grand
mother. As the boys were unable
to tell her name, we hope our cor
respondent will find it out, and
| give us something Of their history,
for we presume there is something
interesting in it. Probably this
grandmother's son or daughter had
gone few years since to the fal
West in pursuit Of a home, and
these little ones had first seen the
light in that volcanic, romantic
part Of the country known as the
Silver State. Some calamity had
overtaken their parents, and these
infant travellers had been left, or
| phans, with no one to care for
them. But the great heart of our
civilization did not allow them to
suffer. Even Nevada, one of the
youngest Of the United States, had
already made provision for suffer
ing humanity, and they were taken
up and cared for.
But what commentary this lit
tie story is upon the integrity and
magnanimity Of the railroad boys!
What confidence the gentlemen in
charge of that Orphan Asylum
| placed in them, and how well have
they justified it! There are some
mean men in the world, but there
are hosts Of good ones. We are
glad and proud this morning that
we belong to the human family

A NEW PAIR OF EYES.

y strange story comes from
Hartford, Conn, and as it can
have no sort Of connection with the
insurance business and is vouched
for by the editor of a newspaper,
the public may reasonably credit it.
4 sixteen year old girl, after an
acute inflammation Of the lining
membrane of the eyes which reduc-
ed her to total blindness, found
her eye-sight to be peculiar. She
says: Putting my hand up to
my eyes | could feel something
coming out over my lower eyelids
which | took hold of and pulled
ont. Immediately my eyes felt
better" She found that she had
become cross-eyed. She sees things
Just the same as she always did,
bnt let her close her right eye and
look out Of her left eye, and she
can see a distance Of eight or ten
miles, and distinguish things as
an ordinary person can only sixty
rods away. She is able to look to
the lake, a distance of three and
half miles, and identify any one,
describing their dress even. The
distant hills are brought close to
her and she can see the farmers
getting in their hay, even counting
the number of heaps, which, in an
air line, are seven miles from her.
To test her, a tield-glass was used,
and her sight would far outreach
any object that could be seen with
the glass. If she closes her left
eye and looks out of the right, then
she cannot see anything except
close to her, but that eye is per,
feet microscope. She is able to
distinguish things that the natural
eye cannot see. The point Of
needle looks as blunt as a crowbar,
and it is wonderful to hear her de-
scribe the beautiful colors of flies
and other insects. To her the
hairs on a persons head look as
large as darning needles, and in
the finest piece of linen she can
count the threads as easily as one
can count beanpoles. The NOM
ent she opens both eyes they as
sumo the cross-eyed expression or
shape, and then she sees again as
any other person.

FIVE DAYS oNA SPAR.-The steam
ship Santiago de Cuba, Capt. Foote,
which arrived here yesterday, had
on board James O.. Harris, Of Phil
adelphia, mate Of the schooner Mary
G. Fisher Of Philadelphia, bound
from that port 20 Wilmington, n.
g., with a cargo Of coal. The Capt.
informs us that about 4 o'clock on
Monday morning, while the first
mate was on watch, the lookout
discovered a man some distance off
hanging to spar, and carried along
at the mercy Of heavy waves.
The steamer was Immediately
stopped and a boats crew sent to
his rescue. This was off Bull Riv-
er. The man was entirely nude and
was in a semi-imbecile state border
lug on delirium. He was taken on
board and the steamer was under
way in nineteen minutes after he
was discovered and the boat lowered.
When the rescuing party reached
him one Of the crew started to take
hold OF him to pull him in the boat.
He cried out piteously that his en-
tire body was sore from exposure to
the sun and the salt water washing
over his blistered skin, and the men
relieved him from his perilous sit
uation with as much care as posi-
bic under the circumstances.
After getting him on board Capt.
Foote had his entire body rubbed
with oil, and had him given guam
tiay of Cruel, which seemed to re-
vive him somewhat, after which he
was given a small piece of water
mellon and a small piece of ice with
beneficial results, as he continued
to improve steadily until his arrival
here, though his mind has appar-
entity not recovered its strength.
He had been on the spar five days.

A NEW industry or manufacture
has been undertaken in England,
namely, the production Of paint
from steel scale, for the protection
of iron and steel from corrosion in
any position and in any climate.
The scale for this purpose is that
which falls from the metal as it
passes through the rolls, and this is
ground by special machinery until
it becomes as free from grit as flour,
and then it is intermixed with boil
ing oil and coloring matter. The
paint is Of two kinds-the anti-cor-
rosive, for use above water to pre-
vent structures from rusting, and
the anti-fouling for use under wat
er, to prevent animal and vegeta-
bic life from attaching themselves
to ships bottoms aud other iron
work. 1t is claimed that, if paint
ed with two coats Of the cOmpo-
sition, vessel may go to India or
Australia and return with clean
bottom: the anti-corrosive covering,
it is also asserted, is much more
effectual for blast furnaces than
gaStar.

DECEPTIVE MINING
SCHEMES.

Mayor Richmond, of Pueblo,
Colo, tells the Philadelphia Times
that many of the stock companies
are operated without honor or de
cency, being merely schemes to be-
guile unsuspecting people in the
East. He gives the following ac-
count Of how the trick is usually
played: "a company will be form
ed representing a cash capital of
perhaps 100000, for the purpose
Of opening new mines and of carry
ing on the business of mining gen
orally. A claim is bought and open
ed. Suppose the mine shows up or
sights for 100000, the capital
stock? The company then proceeds
to put the mine on the Eastern
market at a capital of 81 100000, or
possibly, if the company is unusu-
ally sharp, at S5,000,000. This is
done by going to a few prominent
capitalists and saying: Here, we
Will let you IN on the ground Hoor
of this company if You will take
some stock and help us along with
your influence" The capitalists
buy the stock and lend their names,
and in a short time the entire stock
is taken by Eastern investors, who
are deceived by seeing the promin-
ent capitalists as heavy stockhold-
ers. When the stock has all been
taken the money is divided between
those Oh the ground foor,' and OPP
erations go on as in all well-regu-
lated companies. The concern new
er pays a dividend in the world,
and the second class of stockholders
never see a cent Of their money.

RELAPSES IN THYPHOID
FEVER.

Some people depend wholly on
domestic treatment in typhoid few
er. They seem to be successful;
for, in the large majority of cases
eight out OF ten-the system throws
it off wholly apart from medicine,
especially if there is strong circu-
latiop of pure air in the room, and
the body is frequently sponged with
cold water, or better, with a weak
solution of common soda. The fact,
however, that one cannot know be
forehand the character of the case,
makes it always safest in the hands
Of a faithful physician who can
watch it and care for it according
to the symptoms.
This seems the most important
in view Of the discovery recently
made by the late DR.. Irvine, of Eng
land, respecting relapses of typhoid
fever, of which the London Lancet
says, TO most Of us it come like a
revelation"
He has shown that these most
troublesome contingencies are much
more frequent than is generally
supposed by the profession; that, in
fact, there are often several, the first
predisposing to a second; that a real
relapse may set in without any in
terval of convalescence; and that
many cases of the disease, when they
first come under the notice Of the
physician, are relapses, following
upon a mild primary attack.
The fever normally lasts twenty
eight days. 4 first relapse, where
there are no complications, lasts
twenty or twenty-one days; subse-
quent relapses are each shorter than
that Immediately preceding.
The interval OF convalescence, be-
tween the first attack and the first
relapse, averages above five days,
during which the temperature is
natural, or nearly so.
The onset Of the relapse is mark
ed by sudden rise of temperature
which reaches its height by the fifth
day, maintaining a high level until
the eighth or ninth, when it falls
decidedly, but again rises and grad
ually declines to the end on the
twentieth or twenty-frst day

WRITING Of a new play, the New
Yorl; correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Times says: One of the
characters on Monday night was
played by an actor named Daven-
port. Something was the matter.
Was he drunk! Had he forgotten
his lines! Was he stagestruck? Oh,
no. He had only lost his 3 year-old
baby. That was all. The news
was flashed across the wires and
reached him Just before he went on
to be funny"

AN ANIMAL WITHOUT A
NAME.

A curious animal, resembling a
leopard, was killed last Sunday
near 0. Austin's sheep ranch, near
Coal creek, about fifteen miles
from Greeley. A man in Mr.. Aus
tins employ was hunting jack rab-
bits, when three animals Gan old
one and two young ones) jumped
ont of the sage brush and advanced
towards him growing. He fired
at the largest one and broke its leg,
when it retreated, followed by It's
companions. He fired again at
one of the latter and wounded it,
and a second bullet through the
head killed it. 1t measured four
and halt feet in length. Its fur
was OF yellowish gray, dotted
with black spots, 1t has a long
tail, and its head was shaped like
a cats. Altogether it looked like a
leopard. No animal like it has
ever been seen in this region be-
fore, and it is thought that the lar
gest, or old one, may have escaped
from some menagerie. Gree2ey

THERE is an old Bible up in the
Congressional library at Washing
ton which is well worth a walk to
the Capitol to examine. 1t is OF
Italian origin, and is supposed to
have been written in the thirteenth
or fourteenth century; but the actu-
al date is unknown. 1t is written
in Latin, upon vellum, in clear,
bold characters, and extremely uni
form. The writing is in two col
umns, about three inches wide, and
a margin Of two inches. 1t is en-
bellished with 146 miniature paint
ings, and upward Of 1900 smaller
Examinations, which are beautifully
executed, and are as brilliant to-
day as the day they were done.
The initials of books and prolog-
ues are two and a half inches in
height, and those of the chapters
are one inch in height. 1t is con-
tanned in two large volumes, and
cost the Government 50, 200 in gold
when gold was at a high premium,
and was purchased at a sale Of the
library Of Henry Perkins, Han
worth Park, near London, in June,
1873. The skins in the first vol
ume have all been repaired, except
five; in the second volume they are
nearly all perfect.

Thomas CARLYE once wrote as
follows: Gin the first place, then,
| have never doubted but the true
and noble function Of a woman in
this world was, is and forever will
be, that Of being helpmate to a
worthy man, and discharging we'll
the duties devolving on her, in con-
sequence, as mother of children
and mistress Of a household-du-
ties high, noble, silently important
as any that can fall to a human
creature: duties which if we'll dis
charged, constitute woman, in a
soft, beautiful, and almost sacred
way, the Queen Of the world, and
which, by her natural faculties,
graces, strengths, and weaknesses,
are every way indicated as speci-
ally hers. The true destiny OF
woman, therefore, is to be wed to q
man she can love and esteem, and
to lead noiselessly under his pro-
lection, with all the grace, and
heroism that is in her, the life pre-.
scribed in consequence. 1t seems,
furthermore, indubitable that if a
woman miss this destiny, or have
renowned it, she has every right,
before God and man, to take up
whatever honest employment she
can find open to her in the world
