A Social Sensation.

pecial Dispatch to the Globe democrat.
Washington, ID. c., April I5.--Society Cir
cles are deeply interested regarding the disap-
pearance of little 4 year odd son Of Mrs.
Dickerson, who is visiting Representative
lIubbell, of Michigan, at his residence in this
city. The little fellow, with several compan-
ions, yesterday afternoon was playing
in front of the house, which is on
Iowa circle, and in the northwestern part of
the city, when he was decoyed away by
strange man and has not since been heard
from. A man and boy answering the des-
cription of the lad left the city last night on
the south bound train, and it is stated, got off
at Broadly Station, Va, the scene of lively
skirmish during the late war. The detectives
were acquainted with the facts of the abduc
ton and, stimulated by the promise of a re-
ward of $1,000, are securing every direction
for the fugitive and his prisoner. 1t is impos
sible at this writing to learn the details of the
causes of the affair." as the parties all move in
the highest circles of society and are decidedly
averse to the matter becoming public. The
story given above was from a gentleman
whose services have been enlisted in the
search, and who, it is thought, knows some
thing OF the abduction.

A laundress takes in twelve shirts and has
four stolen from her line. How many are

pick up deaf man walking on the track and
fling him SO high that six cars pass before he
come down?
A boy earned twenty cents per day for eight
teen days, and bought his mother muskrat
mutf costing $500. How much did he have
left to go TO the circus with.
A farmer sold eleven bushels of potatoes
and the product purchased two gallons of
whisky at ninety cents per gallon. How
much per bushel did he get for the tubers, and
where did he keep the Jug?
A mother standing at the gate calls to her
boy who is exactly sixty eight feet distant. 1t
takes two minutes and twenty-five seconds for
the sound to reach him. Find from this the
velocity with which womans voice travels.

Secretary TeiIe-, s Colorado Home.

Their home in Colorado is at the extreme
upper end of that tip-tilIed Central City,
where the houses scramble up and slide down
hill at an angle fearful to contemplate. Going
there at an early day, Mr.. Teller was able to
steady himself on the few square feet of level
ground that there was. and on that perpendic.
ular hillside he has planted little paradise
around his roOf-tree quite as wonderful as the
other hanging gardens of Babylon. Green
grass and running water, green rosebushes
and flower beds are the feast and envy of all
eyes in Central, and after toiling up that
breathless, perpendicular hill it bursts upon
one like a mirage or rare oasis in the desert
provinces and barrenness Of the ugly gulch.
That dooryard is 1000 feet higher
than the summit of Mount Washington, and on
the hottest June day the glistening sides of
James' Peak refresh the eye and cool breezes
blow down from its snow banks. Below this
pretty gabled house there stretches scene of
much picturesqueness and confusion, but no
beauty. Every few feet the hillsides yawn
with tunnels, holes and shafts. Dump piles,
wagon loads of ore, mules, cars, men with
lanterns, the smoke Of smelters, the roar OF
stamp-m,lls and the Shrek of locomotives
climbing up the hill by the zg-zag slopes of
the "switch back" complete scene without
equal, even in that reg ion. Besides his own
mining properties and his legal connections
with many others, Mr.. Teller is a large real
estate owner in Central.

The yiceroy's Visit to g2u1rsall.
From the Times
RANGOON, Dee. %.

RANGOON, Dee. %.
British Burmah has never leen so gay
as it has been during this Christmas sea
son, all classes OF our composite commune
" having Wed with each other in their
efforts to do honour to the Eiceroy. 1t is
ten years since Burmah entertained a
Eiceroy-when the lamented Lord Mayo
visited the province on his fatal voyage to
the Andaman pehal settlements. The
decade has Teen one Of rapid, and at the
same time healthy development, of which
the residents are justly proud, and they
are pleased at the opportunity Of display
ing their prosperity. The burmese not
only took the lead in welcoming the Vice
roy, but infused their own light and joyous
spirit into the whole arrangements. The
Chinese came next, and the spirit Of
rivalry between them and the Surati mer-
chants and between the two principal
sections OF the Chinese community resulted
in a rich display Of art treasures in the
decoration OF their triumphal arches such
as you would scarcely find out Of South
kenSington. Fortunately, no weather APP
p~rehensions at this season of the year
interfere with open-air shows. The Madras
"Chetties," and the Moguls, and the Per
slams all Joined in the reception. These
ASIdIIC luIliI SIdIlCC 1hbO oAD1o w. 49,
" keen men Of business, who are fast
growing rich-many Of them are already
very Wealthy-out of the Burmese trade.
The Burmese themselves are likewise
growing rich, in spite of themselves, in
consequence Of the irrepressible wealth OF
the country. Their necessary wants are
so limited that they have plenty Of money
to spend on dress, jewellery, and other
luxuries. They are also greatly addicted
to the endowment of monasteries, and the
country everywhere bristles with pagodas,
erected and supported by the piety of the
people. There is nothing morose about
their religion, and the Burmese are, per-
haps, the happiest people under the sun.
The Europeans in the country are all III
love with the natives, Notwithstanding
that they decline domestic service or any
mental office, thus imposing on the resi-
dents the necessity of obtaining all their
servants from India. The Burmese are
highly intelligent, very kind-hearted, and
their independence commands respect.
The freedom of their women, too, draws
out the sympathy of Europeans. Women
