4 Hermit And His Treasures.

In passing along the road Sunday af- ternOOn near Magnolia hall, the head quartersOf Gen. Grant during the siege, some four miles from town, our report CT stumbled upon a shanty built along slde the road, and evidently inhabited. Ins pection revealed an aged man named Wash Green, a resident of this county for forty years, who Is the sole occupant Of this place, and he keeps a constant watch upon several curiOusly shaped boxes. Mir. Green proved to be com municative and interesting, so much SO that he makes a very poor specimen of the hermit. while he certainly posses ses fund Of varied information con cerning people and events of this county and state which cannot fail to interest the listener. He cheerfully opened the boxes and revealed the most perfect ossifed remains of mRstOdon We have ever seen. One case contains a .usk in perfect form and preservation, the con- tour of which Is similar 70 that of an elephants tusk. Yet the curve IS great CT, the bend from the point to the butt being half circle. This tusk measures thirty eight inches m circumference at the butt, and is twelve feet two inches
 
 at the enormous size of the animal that used this formidable weapon of defense. Another case contains the thigh. bone of the animal in perfect state. winch IS four feet four inches in length and twenty-eight inches In circumference at the end or joint. There are numbers of teeth in all stages of preservation, any of winch are larger than those now III the Smithsonian institute at Washing ton. The remains were first discovered ID 1888 by Mir. Green, who had occasion to dig passage for drainage purposes, and from time to time he has found ad- ditional remains, all of which form one of the finest collections eItant The old gentleman is in love with his find and lives near them always, though his family are in comfortable circumstances about one mile distant. A vislt to the exhibition and chat on old times is q treat, as MT. Green says that in hIs sev- eniy-fve years of life he must be natural fool If he has not learned some theng. Vicksburg Post.

WEEKLY MINING REVIEW.
PIMA CoTSTY.


 There seems to be some hitch ID re- gard to the payment ot miners and labOrers who have been working on the Gunsight mine, and a number of me- chanics' liens have been filed upon the company's property during the past week. We are not advised as to the cause of delay of this company to meet its obligations, but some of the stock holders who reside in Tucson attribute it to mismansgement. They express the opIaion that the mine IS all right, and that with better management the Gun sight would now have been producing bullion. Never having examined the Gunsight property, we are not prePSn to pass an opinion upon it's ys future prospects. The outsi from the mine are eonhictir derstand the management company will be in a conT all liabilities at an early it may, and that the repfy

The PianOfOrte.

Miss Charlotte w. Hawes, in recent
lecture en- the pianoforte, states some
interesting facts: The mcdsrn piano
forte was born in I'LL, in the mind of
Christofori of Padua, Italy, and is a
successor of the instrument known in
Nebuchadnezzar's time as the dulcimer.
The first piano seen in England
was made by Father Wood, an English
monk Of Rome; it was for a long
time without a rival, the wonder and
delight of all who hsard it but about
the year 1860 some ingenious mechan-
les came from Germany to England in
search of employment as pianoforte
makers, and this gave the instrument
an impetus it was party of twelve,
who were hence called the twelve
apostles. The demand for pianos has
constantly increased. Better music
has been written for the pianoforte
than for any other instrument. We
need only to study the works of Bee
thoven to be convinced of the wealth
of harmonious combinalions which
have been the means of improving the
tastes of the people, beside the
exquisite enjoyment which the music
directly d;spenses. Years ago piano
forte music constituted very modest
portion of a music-seller's stock; now
it fills three-fourths of his shelves,
and makes his chief business. Over
two hundred thousand compositions
for this instrument have been pub
lished in America alone. There are
ten million families in the United
States, and it speaking within bounds
to reckon upon quarter OF million;
instruments stationed in these homes,
and one can estimate, by the knowledge
which he may have of family life in
America, how largely the amusements
of these families are at home and
within the family circle, where music
on the piano contributes the greater
portion of their enjoyment. Corid
anything else be substituted to pro-
mote the home life in America?

The Largest Pearl Ever Found.

Some remarkable pearls lately found
near La Paz, Lower California, have
excited much interest. Three such ex-
traordinary events Lave taken place
during the past month. Probably the
largest pearl on record, weighing
seventy-fve carats, was found toward
the close of December. The fisherman
sold it on the spot for $4,000, which,
however, was an Insignificant sum
compared with its real value. Now
comes the announcement that one of
the fishermen employed has just dis
covered finely tinted and perfectly
formed pearl weighing forty-seven
carats, and valued on the spot at
$1,000, while yet another pearl was
found at the same time, smaller than
the former, but of perfect shade,
weighing forty carats and valued at
$SSO60sEs1n III erter7f Fin01tceT6.

CITY CLERKS OFFICE, !
SAINT PAUL, July Is, 1888. )

WHEREAS petition has been filed in this Office,
as provided by law, by order of the Common
Council of the City of Saint Paul, asking for the
vacation of so much of the ''Old Territorial
Road' so-called, as lies between Louis and Jo-
settle streets and passing through Block four (4)
of Drake & Dewey's addition to St. Paul, and
WHEREAS the petitioners state that they are a
majority of the owners on the line of the vaca-
ton asked for, and that the object and reason for
such vacation is, that said Block has recently
been recorded as an addition to the city and the
owners thereof have dedicated to the city streets
on the north, east, south and west of said block,
all of which afford ample accommodation for
the travelling public and that said Territorial
Road is of no further use as highway.
Now, therefore, notice is hereby given that
said petition Will be heard and considered by
the Common Council of the City of Saint Paul,
or a committee to be appointed by them on
Tuesday the 4th day of September, A. D. 1883,
at 7:30 o'clock p. m, at the Council Chamber,
in the City Hall.

Sioux City Journal: A railroad man
who is in condition to know says shat
the Illinois Central and the Chicago, St
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha, joined to
compete for Union Pacific business, may
be ended by either company on six months
notice. This Sioux City route, as it is
called, was formed to give the Illinois Cen
trail revenge on the Iowa pool lines that
were then competing for Sioux City bust
ness. 1t gave the Illinois Central an op-
portunity to get into the enemy's country
at Omaha. Bat the business of the Sioux
City route worked up better than
was expected. A great deal of
business came via Norfolk, leaving the
Union Pacific main line at Columbus, and
did not have to be divided with the other
Iowa pool lines Recently the Sioux City
route has been admitted to the Colorado
pool, and now carries freight between Chi
cago and all Colorado points. The COM
pany forming the west end of Sioux City
route is virtually the same as the North
western. The Northwestern will have
with sixty days a track completed to
Ruorn, which is twenty-on miles east and
five miles north of this city. 1t is not
probable that the Northwestern will long
delay filling in this gap, when by so doing
it can make itself the business of the
Sioux City route now handled by the Hill
nois Central.

FOREIGN NOTES.

LONDON, July 23.-The Daily Telegraph,
referring to the international rifle match.
praises the courage with which the Amer
leans who have cultivated military shoot
ing for comparatively brief period came
to the struggle with experienced shots.
1t is possible, says the Telegraph, that the
Americans were defeated because their
weapons were inferior at the longer
ranges. The English should not boast of
their victory, as at what may be consider
ed military ranges they were beaten on
on their own ground. The Daily NeaUS
says it is fair to the Americans to note
that the atmosphere with which they are
best acquainted makesiit particularly diff
cult for them to allow for the antics of
English weather at Wimbledon which
is i'll natured, but patriotic.
ALEXANDRIA, July 23.-The khedive and
ministers have gone to Cairo for the pur-
pose of remedying the confusion in the

west of Damietta, leprosy has appeared
there, and is spreading rapidly. There are
neither doctors nor medicines at Fares
kour.

THE HILL INQUIRY.
The Hill investigating committee this
morning considered Coleman's proposition
to go to Chicago for the purpose of taking
testimony regarding the charges of fraud
in the construction of the custom house at
that city. 1t was desired that the chairman
and Mcclellan should go to Chicago, and
Alexander should follow if necessary. Cole
man said he concluded to go west to night.
Totten did not believe he could accompany
the investigating committee, but said Hill
would be represented. Affidavits were read
signed by Patterson & Thayer, architects
of Chicago, denying that any paper
called for by the committee
would be destroyed or suppressed.
Recurring to the proposed visit to Chica-
state the intended scope of their investi-
cation in that city. He reminded them
that the charges had been Investigated by
a committee in 1872 or 1878, and hoped
this committee would not go over their
HOrh' IL tHe SupJecG Vi sGoue cutIlnS was
to be inquired into, he wanted to know it
now, as his client was interested, but he
understood the inquiry would be confined
to steam heating charges. The chairman
requested Coleman to make a specific
statement of the matters he wished in
quired into.
