On the night of March 5, bold rob-
berry was committed at the Morgan de-
pot of this place, and the amount and
nature Of the property taken warrants
the opinion that the criminals number
a half dozen or more. A car loaded
with freight westward bound, but then
in keeping Of the agents of the Morgan
Company, was broken into, and a va
riety of goods, estimated at from $500
to $500, taken from it. Parties in the
employ Of the Morgan company have
since been assiduously at work in the
endeavor to discover the offenders and
succeeded, we learn, in arresting, few
days since, one Wesley Green and wife
with a part Of the plunder in their pos
session; they now lie in the parish
prison awaiting the action of the grand
Advertiser.

A Znni COurtShip.

There were two unmarried members
of the house; nephew and an adopted
girl. The nephew was an over grown,
heavy-faced, thick-lipped, Yellow
haired, blue-eyed blonde-a specimen
of the tribal albinism, dandy, and the
darling of the white-haired ''Old Ten"
One day. after had presented the lat
ter with a pane of ruined negative
glass. she ventured to compare her
favorite with me. Ny flattering &C
know Judgement of this compliment
made decided winnings of the old wo-
mans hitherto restrained affections.
The governor spared this youth no more
than the others. With characteristic
irony, he called him THE Family
Milkman," or 1.-The Night Bird" the
latter term referring to his eyes,
which," the governor usually added,
'wiggled like those of an owl in
strong sunlight" The maiden was
Jolly, pretty and coquettish-the belle of
Riverside street" Her lovers were
many. but soon. of the long row who
waited under the moonlit caves, only
one was admitted-the governors's
younger brother, my sympathetic
friend. There was but one room in the
house In which the two could hope to
be left To themselves Here thew
came night after night. They paid no
attention to the lonely Me-IiE in his
hammock, but sat opposite in the dark
ness on the low adobe bench, hour aft
er hour, stroking each others hands,
giggling and cooling in low tones Just
like so many of my own people of the
same age. only in different language.
An occasional smack, followed by
feminine Indignation, taught me the
meaning of "Stop thatr' in Zuni, and
the reculiarities OF the Pueblo kiss. If
fhe blissful pair remained too late, the
slab door would rumble on its wooden
hinges. and the governor, preceded by
lighted torch OF cedar splints, would
stalk in, and, as near as | could make
ont, rate the young man soundly for
his want of respect to the Hashinotona
Me-t-kdn0, whereupon the pair would
vanish. the maiden giggling and the
young man cursing. -FraRE II. CuSh-

An interesting and valuable asphaltic
mineral. known as Albertite, is found
in New Brunswick; and a similar one.
called Grahamite, occurs in West Vir-
ginia and other parts of the country.
In the mountains west of Denver, in
Colorado, is a vertical bed of hard and
brittle asphalt, not unlike Grahamite,
while Albertite is found in small quanti-
ties in Lorain County, Ohio, and Casey
County, Kentucky.
Bitumen is likewise found in Cuba.
and is brought into commerce under the
name of chdpopote, or Mexican asphalt
In Europe asphalt occurs chiefly in
limestone, which forms, when crushed
and packed an excellent pavement
The principal points at which It is found
are the following: Val de Travers, in
the Swiss Canton of NeUfcbatel, four
teen miles from Neufchatel, and sixteen
or seventeen miles by rail from the
French borders; Seyssel, on the Rhone,
in the French department of the Ain,
about thirty-three miles from Geneva:
LobsanE, small town in Northern Al
SAGE; ForwOhle. in BTaunsohweig; and
LimIner, near the city of Hanover. The
Italian province of Caserta, IN the neigh
borhOOd of Naples, supplies Rome with
an asphalt much used for terraces and

Jones' Elbow.

There is no stove up in the Jones farm
ily sitting room this fall. and there isn't
likely to be. for Jones says he isn't 90
ing TO put the drafted thing up, not if
he knows it, and Mrs. Jones goes round
-shivering and inquiTiLg what is coed
for rheumatism, and all this discomfort
arose from whata sharp writer once
called 1.-The total ,6epravity of imani-
mate things
1t was this way: Jones bought an
elbow for the stove, kind of cut bias
and shirred affair, decidedly crooked,
and with cruel, wicked eye. II wasn't
very large, but it was an awkward
thing to carry. Then he stopped at the
grocery and gotta neat little paper bag
OF cranberries, and a dozen of eggs he
forgot when ordering supplies, also put
up IN paper bag; and next he boarded
car tor home. There was Just one
seat left vacant, and no takers; so Jones
laid the elbow in that while he paid his
fare. Then he forgot the elbow and
sat down gracefully, but not on q bed
OF roses; there was about a dozen acute
angles to the elbow, and he got ND again
and took it.in his lap, but as he did so
the bottom of the cranberry bag fell
out, and the red berries slid in a shin
ing heap to the floor. Everybody
SIN led, because Jones was totally un-
conscious of the fact that has feet re-
posed IN a temporary cranberry bog of
the best Cape Cod fruit. He was try
ing TO maintain the equilibrium of the
eggs and keep the stoye-Dipe Joint in
hand at the same time; but one egg had
Jared against it and was now busy lu-
bricating the paper bag, and as the car
jolted along it gently insinuated itself
through the paper. Jones felt that a
catastrophe OF some sort was imminent
and he reached down and slid the cold
elbow under the seat The moment he
let go of the thing it began 30 rock and
clatter rs If it were possessed, and one
woman who had not been wStchingh him
creamed out: That's a runaway COM
ing" Then all the other women in the
car jumped up, pulled the bell strap,
and screamed: ''Save me! save me!''
Meanwhile the eggs were slowly escap-
ing. and Jones cream gray pantaloons
were getting the benefit. In the i'm
mediate confusion he saw chance to
escape, and beat hasty retreat, leav-
ing the cranberries and eggs in an in
glorious heap on the floor, and the stove
pipe under the seat of car No 9. There
1t clatters yet, and that is why people
say that car is haunted; bat Jones
knows better, only he keeps his own
counsel. Detroit Post and Tribune.

The Distribution OF AspIalts.

Bituminous substances. apparently of
organic origin, are found in various
parts of the world. Sometimes they oc-
cur IN free state, rs in the Island of
Trinidad. and mt others impreguating
calcaroous rocks, or serving as n cement
to hold the particles together, as aE Val
de Trayers or SeysSel. = Oh
For several reasons the asphalt lake
in Trinidad possesses special Interest for
Ms. The island. VIII ich is the southern
most OF the Lesser Antilles, lies oil tIae
northern coast OF South America. and is
easily accessible from any of our sea-
ports Here. amid the most luxuriant
vegetation. is lake three miles in cir
cumference,- on the surface of which
lies crust ofasphaltum of such tenacitv
that in the rainy season n person can
walk across il; but. under the influence
of the hot sun. IL sostens TO 4 thick tar.
This crust receives aecessionS from be-
meath. and formerly il would overflow
and run into the sea. more than
two miles away. A similar sub
stance, known as Jews pitch" is
washed ashore in considerable unanti-
ties.around the boTders of the Dead Sea.
In Texas. south of Shreveport, there is
said to be pitch lake containing large
quantities OF bitumen, but little is vet
known about it. In Southern Califor-
niathere are accumulations of asphalt ON
the coast at Santa Barbara. San Luis
Obispo, etc. which resembles. when
pure. that from Trinidad. 1t promises
to supply the wants of the western
coast, rs trinidad viii that of the east
ern part of this country. \
In Kentucky there is a considerable
quantity OF asphaltic mineral which
