AFine Meteorite-fro m Alaska.

About eight months ago, John Muir,
celebrated as q traveller and a Ziterdteur,,
noticed in the possession of some Alaska
Indians an aerolite of rare beauty, and
brought q fragment of it to the State
Mining Bureau of California. This
specimen was examined and. tested by
subsection to the etching process. The
application of acids revealed upon its
face the exquisite lines Of capitalization
which characterizes true meteoric iron.
The body was seen to fall, q mass of
flame, by the father of one of the oldest
Indians in Chilcat, oven a hundred years
ago, and was afterward sought out and
carried to his hut in triumph. Through
the cooperation of the Northwestern
Trading Company, the Mining Bureau
succeeded in conducting negotiations for
its purchase, and, for a consideration
which seems meager as Esau's mess of
pottage in the eyes of scientists, the
State of California acquired clear title to
the meteor, and it has arrived in San
Francisco. The a~erolite is exceedingly
irregular in shape; and the projecting
points are as bright as if they had been
FURNISHED. A succession of n~ut-shaped
hollows, which cover almost the entire
surface, and give it a curious aspect, and
its fantastic contour looks almost as
if it had been nodded by some unknown
power into the shape of the head of q
strange beast. It weighs q hundred
pounds or upward, and has been chris.
tened, in honor of the locality from which
it was procured, "Chilcat Meteor >

Fairs in England.

It is wonderful how completely the
old English fair has disappeared. Every
year the characteristics of stmerrie Eng
land " become more and more historical.
At EPSON races there are no more side
shows, no speckled boys, no fat women,
no dwarfs, giants, or living skeletons.
The Richardson show is gone. The in
creasing crowds of people amuse them
selves with plenteous rotations of beer,
throwing sticks at cocoanuts, and shoot
ing from toy guns at targets. It is the
same at fairs ; even at Coventry Fair
there is almost nothing of the old time.
Lady Godiva is forbidden to lead her
procession through the town, however
thickly clad. The old Shrewsbury show
occasionally appears, but only as a ghost
of its former self. The Lord Mayors
show holds out longest, but it is a sac
spectacle. Probably George Stephenson
is responsible for this hiding away O

Paw as YOu 10.

I learned three trades. L learned to
be a brewer, a coach-maker and a ma
chinist, all before I was 81 years old. 1
worked three years at $3.50 a day, and I
saved enough out of that to get a start in
life. I was making machines to shear
cloth. Then I bought the patent right
of the machine and made them for sale.
That was before the Wa of 1872. I de-
termined to give the world an equivalent
in some form of useful labor for all that
I consumed in it. I went on and en-
larged my business, all the while keep.
ing out of debt. ], can not recollect a
time when I could not pay what I owed
any day. I would not spend money be-
fore I earned it. Another rule I had was
to keep clear of the banks. I never
asked them for accommodation. Inever
got them to discount notes, because 7
did not wish to incur IN obligation with
out q certainty of being able to pay t.
In that way I managed to keep clear of
panics. MY rule was "Pay as you go. y

When Marksmen Miss.

This is a French story: It is a we'll
known fact that the best marksman's
aim is often unsteady when he has an
animated target opposite him. One of
these I" crack" shots wal showing off his
skill before numerous company, and the
ground was soon strewn with the rem
nants of the plaster figures he had sue
cessively brought down. ALI present
were in raptures except one spectator,
standing apart from the rest, who after
each shot observed, in a perfectly-audi-
BILE tone, "He would not do as much if
he had a man facing him."
This remark, several times repeated,
at last SO exasperated the performer that
he turned toward the speaker and in
quired if he would be the man to face
him?
Certainly" wa the reply, sand what
is more, you may have the first shot,"
As every one was curious to witness
the result of this singular duel the
whole party adjourned to the Bots de
Vincennes, and, the word having been
given, the hero of the shooting gallery
fired and missed. His adversary
shrugged his shoulders and fired in the
air.
q What did I tell you ?" he said, and
walked away al unconcerned as if moth

An Intelligent Reptile.

SCI want to tell you how my child's
life was saved up in the mountains"
said an old farmer who came into the
appeal Office. "You don't mind an
item with q snake in it, do you 2" Hear
ing no reply, the Oldham continued: ct
was coming down from the lake with
my little girl, when I stopped at a spring,
my bottle having given out. While I
was drinking the horse got frightened
and dashed down the road with the child
in the wagon. I only have twelve girls,
sir, and wouldn't spoil the set for worlds.
Well, I gave up the horse and child for
lost, but I followed them up, and pres
entity found the horse right on the edge
of a precipice, at q dead standstin. He
couldn't move an inch. When I got
closer I thought q strap had caught
round his fetlock and one end also round
a tree. I went to pull the strap, and I
jumped about ten feet, for burst me
clear open If it wasn't q rattlesnake that
was holding the horse. He had wound
his tail around the horses leg, and his
neck was turned three times around a
| sapling, and his teeth were fast in the
wood. He was twelve feet long, sir, for
I measured him right then and there. A
few pounds more of strain would have
snapped the snake clear in two. I got
the horse away from the precipice. And
I might as well tell you the whole truth.
The snake wasn't over five feet long, for
when I took the strain off he came right
back to his natural size. You know how
elastic a snake is. The child is 4 year,
old, and wasn't frightened in the beast

Men Who Make Journalists.

It has been remarked that very few
men who get into journalism start out
with such intention. They drift in ac-
cidentally, are prompted'as they develop
capacity. Money, wealthy parents and
influence are of no sort of service in get
ting a young man a place on a news
paper. There is no business that is SO
entirely independent of all these con
siderations as this. A wealthy father
can easily get his son a location to read
law or medicine, or push him forward in
almost any rank in life he may select /;
but he is utterly powerless to do any
thing for him In a journalistic way. : To
be sure he may buy a newspaper, and
set him up in that way, but unless there
is something in him called Journalistic
knack," a natural knowledge of what to
write and how to write it, he will be q
. failure in that line, and all the money
and influence of wealthy and perhaps
powerful relatives will count for nothing.
Some fond parents educate their sons
with the special view of making Jour-
nalists of them ; but it is rare that, we
hear OF these young men after a few
years. Meanwhile, some youth born
among the hills, having nothing more
than a common school education, and
the knowledge scraped up in a country
printing Office, will advance to the front
rank in the profession. He has the
journalistic knack, and forces recogni.
ton because he has it. He gets into q
good position, not because he has wealthy
parents TO influence the proprietors Of
leading newspapers, but because he
knows what to write and how to write it.
His articles 90 in because thew sunplv q
tinents are cast into the waste basket.

A Texas Mother.in-Law.

A tall woman wearing q sun-bonnet,
came into the Office of the chief of po-
lice, and sitting down hard on the end
of a bench, wiped her nose, batted her
eyes a time or SO at the Chief, and asked
in a voice that reminded one of sharpen
ing a saw.
"Be you the galoot who locks folks
up?"
regret to say that I. am occasion
ally obliged to resort to such extreme
measures with refractory persons"

"Yes, madam"
"Why didn't you say SO when I asked
you !"
at did"
"You are a liar, and if you don't treat
me like a lady, I'll fold you up and sit
down ID. you, " and batted her eyes some
more like a terrier.
What did you want p asked. the Off
cial, looking as if he needed reinforce
ments right away, and plenty Of them.
81 want that dirty little whelp what
married my darter. I want to talk to
him on business, but he evades me. If
I could only get a chance to caress him

gritted her teeth until the official felt in
his pocket for a police whistle.
"He told my darter he would give
three hundred and twenty acres of land,
with a gold mine on it, to anybody who
would amputate my jaw with a boot-jack.
He said my mouth was like the gate at
the fair grounds"
"He meant, I suppose, it was never
shut. I don't see how he came to make
any such ridiculous comparison as that.
Did you ever demonstrate with him 2"
"You bet I did. Idrawed him across
the kitchen table by the hair with one
hand while I blasted him with a long
handled skillet, and you should have
heered him calling me mother darling
and pet, but Providence wa agin me.
His hair gave away, and he Lit out be-
fore l could reason with him any more.
Just as like as not We will never meet
again." and she sighed heavily.
"Be calm, madam, do not excite
yourself too much"

these family secrets. It calls up sacred
recollections. It makes me think of my

Seventy Thousand Lost Children.

They form a large item in police

numbered 5,096, beside 100 foundlings.
The aggregate of lost children during

number occurred during 1862, when
9,SO6 lost children were picked up in the
