AThlers Treasure-Housc.

Not long ago, man was observed
walking in very suspicious manpe
in the Bo;s de Vincennes, Paris. Consid-
ering the number of persons constantly to
be seen in this favorite haunt. and the far
from attractive manners which many OF
them affect, it must be supposed that the
individual in question made himself par
ticularly remarkable by his movements in
order to draw towards him the attention OF
the guardians Of the peace. However this
may be, the latter were sufficiently acute,
not only to observe the strange demeanour
of the man, but to follow him up and
frustrate those efforts to escape notice
which constituted the most remarkable
part of his proceedings. They lodged him
carefully until he had reached solitary
part of the Bois, and then, under certain
tree had scrsped awsv the earth and
brought to light cigar box, carefully I ed
up and sealed. lie had pocketed this article
hurriedly, and was about TO march of with
it, when they rushed in upon him and
gained possession of the prlze, which was
found to contain q treasure of no less than
IA, 900 francs in bank notes As soon as
the man could be brought before the de-
tective authorities, and the whole affair in
vestigated, clue was quickly found to the
secret, and it turned out that the adven-
turer was q certain Perrin, who two years
ago was found guilty of daring robbery
in Boulevard Voltaire. The property
stolen amounted in all to Is, ,00Of, of which
42O had been found on Perrin when hrs
arrested. He swore to having squandereC
the rest of the money, and was sentence
to two years imprisonment, from which h'
had Just been released hen he repaired Il
the Bois de Vincennes. The SENTENCED
was not too severe, and if he had not beer
caught in the manser already described
he would have paid but low price for the
enjoyment of his IA, $50 francs BDt AL

stolen property may congratulate hlmsel
that the thief was not at first punished NOR
severely, for If he had been incarcerate'
for ten or twenty years, the probability /

The Gulf stream.

There is a river In the ocean. In the
severest drouths il never fails, and 10 the
mightiest flood it never overtows- Its
banks and Its bottom are Of cold water
while its current is of warm. The Gulf of
Mexico is its fountain, and its mouth is in
the Arctic seas. II is the gulf stream.
There Is in the world no other 80 majestic
a iiow of water. Its current is more swift
than the Mississippi or the Amazon, and
Its volume more than 1900 times greater.
Its waters, so far IS the CarJlina coasts
are indigo blue. They are 80 distinctly
marked that the common sea water can be
traced with the eye. Often one-half the
vessel may be seen floating in the Gulf
stream waters while the other half is in the
common water of the sea, so sharp Is the
lire and want Of affinity between these
waters; and such, too. the reluctance, SC
to speak, on the part of those of the Gull
stream to mingle with tine common waters
of the sea- In addition to these there j.
another peculiar fact. The fishermen OF
the coast of Norway are supplied witt
wood from the tropics by the Gulf stream
Think of the Arctic fishermen burniRs
upon their hearths the palms Of Hayti
the mahogany of Honduras and the pre-
,ious woods of the Aniszon and the Ori
noco.

Mountain climbing.

The greatest altitude which has been
reached by mountain climbing was attained
in Cashmere by Mr.. johnson, who some
years ago mounted to a spot q, 800 feet
above the sea. Aeronauts have assembled
80, 600 feet and returned in safety. 1t is
supposed by mountaineers that %, 200 to
26, 900 feet is the utmost height that will
ever be trod by human steps. That life
can be supported at this altitude has been
proved by the adventurers who have dared
the dangers of the upper air In balloon.
During the last summer Mons. Werner as
cended Mount Illimani, one of the lcf;ies;
peaks of the Bolivian Andes The height
Of this mountain has been variously esti-
mated, Mr.. Pentland giving it an altitude
of "a, 200 feet; Mr.. Minchin setting it at
81, pa feet, and Mr.. Weiner himself max
ing it to be only 20, ,Sl2 feet. Few ascents
to the height of 81 900 feet have been re-
corded. Hunters of the Himalayas often
Chase Il en- game to the height of 20, 0Oo
feet, and natives living near Mount Dem
arend, near Teheran, frequently climb to
the summit, above 20, 600 feet, to gather
sulphur tom the crater.

rrsasmeot Of Interior Decorations.

In the first OF the series Of his Cantor
lectures, Robert w. Eds thus concisely
states how decoration and furniture of town
houses should be treated: ''The grest aim
of the designer should be simplicity and
appropriateness of form and design, with
harmony of color, and 10 show that the
cheapest and commonest things need not
be ugly, and that truth in art and design
need lot ofhecessity involve costliness and
lavish expenditure. Fitness and absolute
truth are essential to all real art, and be 1t
remembered that design is not the OIL
spring of idle fancy; it is the studied re-
suit Of accumulative observation and de-
lightful hsbit;' and by careful regard to
this We may make our homes and hsbits-
tions, If not absolutely shrines OF beauty
and good taste, at least pleasant places,
where the educated eye may look around
without being shocked and offended by
gross vulgarity and gaady commonplace

hints to Visitors.

Try, without being too familiar, to max,
yourself SO much Like one Of the family
that NO one shall feel you to be in the way:
and, at the same time, be observant of thost
small courtesies and kindnesses which eli
together make up what the world agrees tc
call good manners.
Regulate your hours of nsing and retir-
ing by the customs of the house. Do not
keep your friends sitting up until later
than usual, and do not be roaming about
the house an hour or two before breakfast.
Ii you choose TO rise at an early hour, re-
main IN your room until breakfast time,
unless you are sure that your presence In
the parlor will not be unwelcome. Write
in large letters, in a pre- minent place In
your mind, 90 Be punctual. , A visitor
ha' nc excuse for keeping whole family
waiting, and it is objectionable negligence
not to be prompt at the table. Here is a
place to test good manners, and any mani
festaiion Of ill-breeding here will be notIc-
ed and remembered. Do not he too ready
to express your likes and dislikes for the
various dishes before you. The wife of a
certain United States Senator once visitec
acquaintances at some distance from her
native wilds, made lasting impression
upon the family by remarking at the break
fast-table that ''she should starve before
she would eat mush," and that she '.never
heard of cooking mutton before she came
East"
1t is well to remember that some things
which seem Of very little importance to
you make an unpleasant impression upon
others, in consequence of q difference in
early training. The other day two young
ladies were heard discussing . gentleman
who had great many pleasant qualities
.'Yes," said one, '.he is very handsome,
but he does eat pie with his knife" Take
care that no trifle of that kind is recalled
when people are speaking of you.
Keep your own room in order, and do
not scatter your belongings ali over the
house. Ii your friends are orderly, it will
annoy them to see your things out of place; |
and if they are not, their own disorder will |
be enough without adding yours
Make up your mind TO be entertained !,

your friends invite you to Join them in an |

are made for their pleasure. Be
sontented to amuse yourself quietly in the
house, your to join any outside gsyeties to
which you are invited, and show by your
manner that you enjoy both.
If games are proposed. do not say that
1ou will not play, or "wouid rather look

Tou can. Never let foolish feeling of

The Demon OF Colorado.

During the year 1868 the whole COM
munity of Colorado were thrown into a
state of terrible excitement, In consequence
of series of diabolical murders that were
committed under the most extraordinary
circumstances. A man would be found
dead in the road at a certain location, with
all his valuables about his person, and per-
haps his horse grazing by his side, and the
next day another would be found at dis
tance of thirty or forty miles under like
circumstance. A rifle shot would be
heard in the vicinity of camp of miners
or enigrants and herder or some one who
had strayed from the camp, would be found
iyIng dead. This thing continued until
some eight or nine murders of the kind had
been perpetrated. In every instance 1t
was evident that robbery was not the oh
iect, as even their animals were not taken
all the victims were Americans. One day
two men were riding together, approach
ing California Gulch, in southwestern Col
orado, when suddenly two Mexicans
stepped out from the underbrush at the
side of the road, with leveled rifles and
tired, simultaneously; one man fell dead
wounded, but succeeded in retaining his
seat until he reached California Gulch
where he reported what had occurred. In
few minutes party of miners were
mounted and in hot pursuit of the muir
derers, found their trail and finally sue
ceeded in overtaking them. One of the
Mexicans was wounded and fell of from
his horse, but the other succeeded In
making his escape. The wounded mar

Raising sunxen Vessels.

An experiment recently took place in
the East India Dock Basin, Blsckwall,
London, by permission of MIR. j. l.. du
Plat Taylor, the secretary OF the Dock
Company, for the purpose of testing aud
illustrating the mode of raising sunken
ships by means of the apparatus patented
by Mr.. William Atkinson, naval engineer,
Of Sheffield The machinery employed
consists of the necessary number and size,
according to the power required, of oval
or egg shaped buoys constructed of sheet
iron, having an internal valve of simple
and effective character. Captain Hales
Dutton, the dock master, who assisted dur
ing the operations, had placed his small
Yacht at the inventors service for the Oc-
casiou. The vessel was moOred in the
basin, and set of four buoys were at
tached to it, one on each side near the bow
and the stern. Air was supplied from
pump on the quay by a pipe communicat-
ing with q small copper globe resting or
the deck of the vessel. and from which
place proceeded four other flexible tubes
one to each buoy, thus distributing the all
to each one equally. The vessel being
flooded and In sinking condition, the
buoys we're attached and the valves opened;
they rapidly filled with water, and the
vessel Immediately sank In about 80 feet.
q pom the first attempt an air chamber ia
the stern had been lost sight of, causing
the vessel 10 come up to the surface stern
uppermost; this beng rectifled, the vesse
was again sent to the bottom, and allowed
10 remain short time To allow her to settle
down. When the order was given to worl
the pump, the vessel was brought to thu
surface, perfectly level, in about hree min
utea The apparatus used, although onl,
models, and on comparatively diminu
tive scale 1.-THE buoys measuring feet
inches in height and feet 6 inches in di

power to deal successfully with vessels
