TIE RETURN OF THE RODGERS CREW

The Corwin has brought the crew of the
burned Arctic steamer Rodgers back to San
Francisco. The account they furnish of the
fire which destroyed their vessel leaves its
origin in mystery, but makes it clear that
from the moment it was discovered there
was no possibility of saving her. The
crew were received by the natives with
great kindness, and by being distributed
among several villages managed to live
through the winter. As their diet for the
most part consisted of putrid whale blub-
Der, varied occasionally by repast of
boiledsea skin, about the consistency of
gutta percha, it may be imagined that they
did not greatly enjoy their Arctic expert
ences. Bad and repulsive as the diet was,
however, it does not appear to have done
the men any harm, and we suspect that
after all their chief suffering came from its
insufiiciency.

AN EMBARRASSING POSITION.

The steamer Escambia, which foundered
off the Heads of San Francisco recently,
has been sold as she lies for 81, 400 to one
man, while another has bought her cargo
for $500. The question as to what shall
be done with her is however still unset
tied. The man who has bought her thinks
he could perhaps raise her if the cargo was
out, so he is waiting to see what the pur
chaser of the cargo means to do. The pur-
chaser of the cargo, on his part, will not
decide upon any plan until he knows what
the owner of the vessel will do. In short
this situation reminds one of that which
has become immortalized by the verse:
|" Lord Chatham, with his sword drawn,
Was waiting for Sir Richard Strachan,
Sir Richard, longing to be at EN-,
Was waiting for the Earl of Chatham"

SENATOR FAIR AND THE coMsTocK.

Senator Fair has been interviewed, :"
and while expressing his regrets at the de-
pressed condition of things at Virginia
City, he has intimated belief that the
Comstock will at no distant period resume
its prosperity. The reporter naively adds
that the Pine-street SPECTATORS may look
out for I" boom on the lode before long.
We think that this expectation is not war
ranted. The presumption is that the glory
of the Comstock has departed for good,
and that Virginia City will not again see
the flush times Of which it was for so many
years the center and the beneficiary. For
even If a " strike should be made in anv
mine on the lode, the prospect for general
share IN the profits is too slender to base
revival upon. The decline of the Comstock
really began come time before the mines
ceased to yield largely. 1t dates from the
time when the proprietorship OF the prin.
pal mines passed into the hands of fonr or
five men, and when it became apparent
even to the most sanguine gamblers that the
percentage in favor of the "game" had
become far too heavy to make speculation

GRAIN PRosPECrs.-The Gait Gazette iys ::
The wheat and barley in this section is much
better than the erSin-growers anticipated
some few weeks ago. The late cool spell
fully matured and filed the kernel, and as a
consequence good plnmp grain and large re-
turns is the result. Farmers who expected
yield Of only twelve or fifteen bushels are re-
ceiving eighteen or twenty bushels, or about
one-fourth more than anticipated. The grain
is of better quality than former seasons, and
a larger acreage is devoted to grain in this
locality this year than ever before. Smut is
complained Of, but not generally.

Paner Plates.

The latest application Of paper is
said to be plates by some ofthe great
restaurants and cafes in Berlin. The
innovation was first introduced dur
ing the summer of last year by the
enterprising landlord of much FIRE
quented open-air restaurant. Every
customer who ordered bread and but
ter, rolls, bakes, bunns, or similar
articles, Lad them served to him up
on a little paper plate, made Of light
paper mache, adorned with pretty
border, in relief, and having at the
first glance every similarity to por-
celain. Guests, walters, and host
were all pleased with the novelty; it
saved the walters many deduction
from their wages on account of break
ages, which the deftest and cleverest
can scarcely avoid when he handles
hundreds of pieces of crockery dur
ing single afternoon and evening.
The paper plates were so cheap that
the landlord did not care to assert
his ownership over them, and his
customers were allowed to carry
them away, like the pretty serviettes
of thin paper used in so many res
taurants in Holland

An Embarrassed Clergyman.

From the Detroit Post.
The Rev. Nj. was one Of the
most bashful men in the profession
and was constantly getting into
scrapes through his nervous mis-
takes. At one time he rose in his
pulpit to give out the hymn, "This
world is all a fleeting show" and
after clearing his throat he struck a
high pitch of voice and began sol
EMMY:
"This world is all floating shoe. !"
Everybody smiled except the dea-
cons, and the minister was covered
with confusion as he began again:
"This world is all a shouting flow"
This made matters worse and the
unhappy man cleared his throat
with tremendous force and began
once again:
"This world is all floating She"
Then he slammed the hymn book
down and wiping his clammy brow
said:
Brethren, for some reason / can
not read that hymn as it should be
read: we will omit it and the choir
will please sing the grand old lines
beginning:
''Just as ! am without one hea.n

A Man With Fifty Children.

Mr.. Blasingame, prominentimer
chant from Social Circle, Ga, reports
a remarkable case OF vitality, which
he says is well known to the people
of his county. Near Social Circle
resides a colored man named Harry
Lackey, who has probably more de-
scendants than any living man. He
has been in the country so long that
his own testimony on the question
is corroborated by his neighbors.-
Harry IS 80 years old, hale and
hearty, one of the most industrious
and highly respected negroes in the
county. Tho other day he took un 3.
to himself third wife, Susan Phil
lips, aged 81. He already has fifty
children whom he acknowledges and
who call him by various terms of filial
affection. Several of his children
have died. In the presence of some
gentlemen. the other day, he named
over more than 800 of his grandchil
dren, and said there were others
whom he could not then remember.
One OF his sons has thirty living
children. Several of his sons count
up more than a dozen children each.
The old man is proud of his record
and talks freely about IT whenever
questioned. He has always been an
organized Democrat and Is the only
negro in his militia district who
votes in the Democratic primary
elections. He says he don't think
his work is finished yet and has no
idea of suspending business soon.
