ing to- the late war entitled Sixteen
Years After says:
After looking over the battle. field OF
Charlottesville went back to the brick
house for dinner. During my absence .
little red-headed man had arrived, and
he was introduced by the woman as her
brother-in-law. AS soon az came in he
began on me:

Well! Well! bet beats me all oafer!'
Both of us fell to and began eating,
and nothing further was said until the
meal was finished and we had gone out
to look at some old cannon wheels in
the yard. Then my friend put his hand
on my shoulder, lowered his voice, and
said:

Fur-Bearing Animals in Maine,

Beaver were almost extinct in this
State IN the time of the rebellion, but
are now on the increase, and the furs in
good demand. Deer are almost extinct
in this section, but are on the increase
in the State. Some animals. such as
foxes, come at night into the immediate
suburbs of this city and Brewer, and
muskrat have often been killed in the
city docks, while once an otter was seen
in the Kenduskeag, near the Eastern
and North American Railway bridge.
Most varieties of the fur-bearing ami
mails natural to the State hold their own
in numbers, and the fur trade will con-
tinue indefinitely to be source of con-
siderable revenue to the people.-Ban-

In Pompeii, recently, very beautiful
fountain was found among the ruins. 1t
is said to surpass in beauty any of the
fountains hitherto dug up there. Venus
is represented as rising on shell, with
Cupid in her arms. Other spirits of love
are seen here and there in the waves,
while in the background appears ner-
cid, or water nymph,- near a dolphin,
with her arm thrown around the neck of
Cupid. In the foreground, ON the
shore, are two draped women looking at
the merry group in the water.

Mexico does not progress very rapidly.
There are MANY reasons for this, but
since the development of railroads in
that country we are beginning to find
ont something. An American who quite
lately came from Mexico states that the
Mexicans have few manufactures and
no modern machinery; that he has seen
n thousand men and boys at work in a
field harvesting with sickles; that here
tofore there have been-very few compan-
les and firms in Mexico, as they have
had great distrust of railway or any
other corporations; that on account OF
this distrust, money accumulated is
boarded and rendered useless by Its
owners and to the communities in which
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1882-04-07

they reside; that he knows Of one family
that has two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars slowed away in barrels; that
there is only one bank i'm Mexico, which
is owned by Englishmen; and that the
only thing approaching in character to
a bank authorized or established by the
government is large pawn shop. which
makes advances on various articles.
These brief statements indicate at once
the directions in which progress is most
essential, and the deficiencies which, to
great extent, will probably be remedied
by the enterprises in which . number of
our countrymen are interested.

Love Always Finds a WAY.

A letter to the PHILADELPHIA Press,
from the Azores, tells this story: asNot
long ago Michaelese gentleman saw
at the theatre young and pretty dona-
zetta, with whose charms he was at once
smitten. Theznext night. he managed
to obtain the box next to hers, and as
there Is no separation between the tiers
except thin railing of sufficient height
for man to rest his arm upon when
sitting, the proximity to his inamorata
was anything but distant. It was the
only chance that he possibly might ever
have, and there was no way to arrange
for a better meeting: nothing was left
but to take the present opportunity and
make the most of it. So pulling off his
cuff he wrote his proposal on it, detailing
his prospects. position, love and other
such things as might prove interesting.
When written to suit, he quietly placed
it as nearly before her as could be, and
waited until his eyes could direct hers
to this tale of shirt. She read, she
smiled, she nodded, and the delighted
swain knew that the bow drawn at a
venture had told the mark. s. e
The state of affairs at Jeddah and
Mecca last year, the Friend of India
says, was appalling. Year after yea1
thousands of unfortunate and improvi-
dent pilgrims crowd these places, and
are left to look after themselves as they
please, without the slightest regard be-
ing had to sanitation. During the re-
cent Hadj season these pilgrims were
dying at the rate of three hundred a
day, and nothing in the way of attention
to sanitation was ATTEMPTED.
