two weeks in considering.--
Here is the colored chambermaid
"Come, sir, to clean up the room"

before recording an answer, you would
probably like to know how to get here,
something after the manner of Mrs.
Leslie's famous receipt for cooking a
hare first catch your hare.
The route hither, coming east or
west, lies over the New Orleans and
Houston railroad. Some 800 miles
away you will hear that the Lake is
Immediately on the railroad, and all
the railroads. maps, with their conceded
superiority in lying, can't locate the
Lake any closer to the road, except
that they place it exactly in the mid
die Of the track, which is only a
''standard" lie, not being one of their
real aesthetic beauties. AS you come
this way-say from Monroe, for in
stance-the Lake begins gradually to
drain off, as it might be, toward
basin north of the railroad, about half
annie every six hours of travel, until
one reaches New Orleans, when he
hears that there is Sour Lake station
and a Sour Lake, and that the two
are some four miles apart. You may
think you are gaining on it, like poor
Bobtair's vengeful pursuer, and in
measure you are, but you will find on
reaching the station, some 60 miles
east of Houston and about 300 from
New Orleans, that the Lake has not
been stationary, meanwhile, but has
receded 8 miles further inland and
there awaits you at the end Of miles
over a dirt road traversing seas of
prairies and more than one isthmus
or one island of timber, and you are
expected to cover these miles, the
train dumping you out at $3.50 a. m., at
the station, where there are no public
accommodations, in covered hack
drawn by two Texas mules, in time
to hear grace at the breakfast table,
and to partake of that meal, as you
will, after your ride and with the
inviting dishes before you, with a
relish not inaptly described as the cut
and-come style so becoming in a hum

now be perfectly obvious why Sou
Lake is Il moavble body of water-why
it recedes as you approach, as in feal
of the assault, and moves up to the
railroad when you depart, as made
light by your absence and the consump
ton of such an amazing quantity Of
commissary stores. Could you have
had an idea that in this worlds
economy, in that of Texas particularly
poor invalid such as you could
possibly be of such vast importance ?
Alas! What are our public schools,
when great geographical and hygience
truths such as this are neglected in
youth and left to be learned only in
old age, when one has no means to
enjoy his learning and but reads only
his almanac to concel as they pass, the
days yet remaining of Il life unhappily

Having accompanied me TO the Lake,
let me endeavOr to locate you with re-
ference to some points on other places
more generally knOwn.--We are about
20 miles, as the crane flies, from the
Gulf, the nearest post being % miles in
"a southeasteriy direction; 20 miles
northeast of Beaumont, and SOME
miles west Of the Louisiana line. One
will find the sun rising in the west,
another just under the north star,
which greater sun has waltzed
around the east, and yet another will
point toward Cuba for New Orleans.
There is not a building, fence or road
built to any of the cardinal points of
the compass, or with reference to any
other building, fence or road. 1t is as if
one leaves the cabin of boat on one
side-as who has not ?-and returning
when the boat gets under Roadway
finds the whole business just exactly
reversed. Still there is nothing worse
than confusion Of ideas in this, and
the visitor soon becomes somewhat
charmed with the deviation from rigid
observance of right angles and points
of the compass, and enjoys the conflicts
of the architects and engineers. Thus,
who could not revel in the labyrinths,
ups and downs, and surprises of Bleak

Another Narrow Escape.


The Mr.. Grayson mentioned below
is part owner in the Ellen Stills
mine, up Croy gulch. A few months
ago. it will be remembered he fell
down mine shaft which he had JUS.
assembled, and received injuries which
proved almost fatal. Recently, he had
another narrow escape, as we learn
from the following from the Virginia
(Nevada) Enterprise:
Archie Borland, 4 former Com
stocker, and George w. Grayson, two
prominent citizens of Oakland, have
just returned to that place from a trip
to New Mexico, whittier they went to
look after some mining property.
While driving in wagon to station
there, the seat which the gentlemen
occupied tipped back and threw them
into the road. Mr.. Borland struck on
the back of his head and strained his
neck. He was compelled to delay his
return to Oakland for two or three
days, and at the present time cannot
move his head to one side or the other.
Mr.. Grayson, though not entirely re-
covered from broken leg, caused by
a fall some months ago, and though
still using crutches to aid him in walk
ing, fell in such position that he re-
celved no permanent injury.

Scientific Information.

In this age of progress people are
constantly searching for something
new, whether it be in the domain of
domestic industry, or in the wider
field Of science. Twenty learned
scientists have experimental long and
carefully with new discovery called
''Salicylica," and have deduced from
their observations that it is the great
est remedy for rheumatism, Gout and
Neuralgia ever known. Its success
has been certain in every case.
