Oysters Four Feet Long.

In the Bad Lands of the West late expedition of geologists sent out by the Government came upon bed of extinct oysters whose size was almost beyond belief, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Many were four feet in length, and the animal, when alive, must have been a curious spectacle. Imagine 8 dozen of these on the half-shell The shells in this locality were strewn about over the plain as if the feast of some Titanic race had suddenly been broken up. Some were partly buried and rapidly disinte- grating under the influence of wind and weather. On the northwestern coast & clam has recently been discovered very similar to the soft clam of the East, with the exception that the new finds weigh about six pounds apiece and are foot or more in length. They are called geo. ducks by the natives and are said to be fine eating, the meat rather resembling that of crab or lobster than the rest oi the clam family.

The Dakota Wheat Harvest.

A Chicago Tribune special from Far go, Dakota, states that with the excep- tion of few isolated fields in the Red River Valley, near the Manitoba bound ary, the wheat harvest is completed. Immediately after the main portion of the grain was cut rainy spell set in, which has greatly retarded the thrash ing, but three days of last week and the first two or three of this week have been fairly favorable for thrashing, and con- siderable grain has been separated from the straw and chaff. It is of excellent quality thus far, though some of it is 8 trife s'off color," in consequence of the wetting, but nearly every bushel has graded No. hard. The reports from Duluth, however, indicate that the amount of foul seed in wheat this year is nearly twice as large as last year. This is one of the results of the system of careless cultivation which so many have pursued there during the last few years.
 There are some farmers who estimate the amount already thrashed at 20 per cent. of the entire crop. This. however, is probably high. The amount in stack varies in different portions of North Da- kota, but it would probably be safe to say that it would average about 25 per cent. at present. Fall blowing has be- gun, and is being pushed. Whenever the weather is too damp for thrashing all hands are sent out with the blows. No. 1 hard wheat starts in at fair price considering the prices on other grades, and the tendency seems to be to sell now rather than hold for futures. Fi- nancially it is safe to say that the out look indicates slow but sure improve ment, and with the vast agricultural wealth of the Territory, commercial and other interests must soon be on an ex- tremely sound basis.

COPPER AND CHoLERA-M. Delingy, who has under him forty thousand operatives in the copper mines of the province of Huelva, in Spain, of which he has been chief engineer since 1s4S, states that he has never been able to as- certain that any one engaged in the mining industry with which he has been so long connected had died of cholera The health of the mining population is excellent, and deaths from zymotic dis eases are rare among them. M. Deligny also mentions that people of rank and wealth at Madrid and other ports of Spain have engaged every available lodging about the copper mines. He stated that the immunity from chol- era in the Swedish copper mines is so notorious that in 1864 and 1865 the royal family and court went to live in the Phalun mines, where there was mol 6 single death from the epidemic.

Chinese Armies Moving.
ToNoUIN TO BE IMMEDIATELY INVADED
 ACTIVE HOSTILE PREPARATIONS.

Three Chinese armies are now moving in the direction of Tonquin. They are drawn from each of the three Southern provinces. The army from Kwang. Si numbers 25, 900 men, that from Yunnan 20, 1000, and that from Kwang-tung like wise 10000. The Yunnsn army will join the Black Flags at Lao-Kai, on the Ton quin frontier. There are said to be 10,- GOO Black Flags at that point. These combined forces will march down the Red River and attack Hunghoa. The Kwang-Si army will march into Tonquin by way of Bacninh, and, in connection with portion of the Canton army now at Langson, will attack Bacninh. Six thousand French hold Hanoi, Hunghoa, Sontay and Bacninh.
 The Repu6Ei9ue FYancaise says: "It is probable that Admiral Courbet will occupy the Island of Formosa in force. This action is necessary in order to secure the ratification of the treaty of Tien Tsin and the payment of an indem- nifty for the Langson affair"
 More vessels will soon be sent to rein force Admiral Courbet's squadron. IL is reported that the Chinese are hurriedly fortifying Tzekiang, to prevent the French from occupying that place and cutting off the supply of provisions.

THE LAND WHERE OUR DREAMS
 COME TRUE.

Far over some mist-hidden river
 And under a wonderful sky, Where the rain never blots out the sunshine, And our loves never weary or die; Where the flowers never fade-but in changing Their magical sweetness renew, Lies glorified realm of enchantment, The land where our dreams come truet By mystical symbols and tokens,
 We know of that beautiful land; But, alas on the threshold of manhood The frail clue slipped out of our hand And tho wild river wandered between us; The white gates are hidden from view And only in sleep we remember
 The land where our dreams come true We shall find the lost treasures we seek for Revealed in that wonderful sphere; All the aims and the dreams of the bygone, All the good that eluded us here; The innocent faiths of our childhood, The one fameless friendship we knew, Arrayed in our banishedillusions In the land where ourt cams come true We hasz|ksnn divinest fulsalndent
 Our vain hopes aresgathered at home; The jewels we moufn here are hoarded where the moth and the rust cannot come; And oft when the sunset is faintest We catch through rift in the blue A far-away glimpsepf the gfories
 Of the land swhssssour dreams come true! There are gsfneredfhe prayers of our mothers, And tEeSBoft cradle songs that they sung; There they move in the midst with white gar-
 ments, And faces immortally young. And out of the mists of that river Their sweet hands shall reach us the dew, That leads through the valley of shadow, To the land where our dreams come true So, weeping, we lay down our idols, And bury our loves out of sight, Though we know in our hearts we shall find
 them
 By and by, in the Mansions of Light; And the salt tears that fall on their ashes, And blossom in pansy and rue, Over there shall be lilies immortal, In the land where our dreams come true

A GRAND ENoAMPMENT.- -"It would be a good idea, think, to have a national encampment of the militia once every three years, " said Major General Hart ranft, of Pennsylvania, recently. My idea would be to have st least 25, 900 men in camp, composed of the National Guard of several States, a brigade of regular army infantry, a battery and some cavelry, the whole to be under the command of some one of the Major Generals of the regular army. When large bodies of soldiers are brought to- gether they learn from each other, and I have no doubt but that such an encamp- ment would prove decidedly advantage ous to the militia"

sailor was little slow in letting down the royal yards, and the mate swore at him. Capt. Waterman was furious.
 "How dare you be abusive on board this ship" he said. "Go ashore and don't let me see you again."
 The astonished mate went ashore amid the contemptuous smiles of the ladies. In week he came skulking back. "Halloo," said the Captain, "where have you been all this time?"
 "You-you told me not to come back" said the poor fellow, trembling in his boots.
 The Captain looked at him pityingly. "Well," he said, ''you are chunk. Go to work at once."
 Capt. Waterman made so much money for his shipowners, and was so remark able in running quick passages, that in 1851 N. l.. < G. Griswold contracted with William H. Webb, to build him a new clipper ship, the Challenge, calcu- lated to outrival anything then afoat. She equalled all expectations, and flew over the water on her trial trip as grace ful and feet as bird on the wing. When lying at the foot of Pine street, her bowsprit at high tide reached clear across South street, and over the roofs of the stores. Crowds Hooked to see her. Capt. Waterman was anxious to make her first trip @ memorable one, and he was harder than ever on his crew. One of his best men dropped off the yard into the sea. Before the vessel could be put about and the boats low cred he was drowned.
 The Captain accused the men of being slow and shortened their watches below in other words, robbed them of aI- ready insufficient sleep. It is said of him that on this voyage he actually shot sailors down from the yard arm. All who could do so escaped at the first port. When the Challenge arrived at San Francisco, crowds of indignant sail ors awaited the Captain and the mate, Douglas, on the wharf. They threat ened to lynch them, if they caught them. The mob ignored the vigilance committee, and took the law in it's own hands. Capt. Waterman became really alarmed, and he and Douglas landed in a small boat and escaped to the coun- try.
 The two men were finally captured, and there was trial, and shipping mer- chants in N. Y. city subscribed to fun to defend them. Capt Waterman was not allowed to take command of his ship again. He settled in San Francisco, and as times were prosperous, made money. Up to two years ago he was Inspector of Hulls for the port of San Francisco. He owned a ranch some- where out in the country, but always lived in San Francisco, at the Lick House. Some of his old sailors used to meet him there years afterward, and he always invited them to drink wine with him. He died rich. The Challenge finally drifted into the foreign service.
 Capt. Waterman visited New York twice since he left there on his memor- able cruise in the Challenge. He came overland each time. Once ho visited Sailors Snug Harbor, and the old vet erans there were permitted to see the man about whom they had heard so many hard stories. "He had his faults, said one who was acquainted with him, "but he also had his virtues. His suc- cess lay in his strict discipline. He could not tolerate a lazy sailor. Good men, who were able to work had always got along with him."

So STRANaE.-Joe Jefferson, the actor, who ought to know the effect of the constant repetition of one part upon the actor, says that after playing one part for a length of time an actor is apt to forget his lines and take up wrong ones. An English actor who thus forgot his lines was blamed by the manager: Ut is very strange that you are not perfect in that part by this time. You have been playing it for two hundred nights. ' ''Do you expect me to remember 1t for ever ?" said the actor.

AN EXPERIMENT. Experiments with the galvanometer upon the tracks of the New York Central Railroad show that electric currents flow through the rails continuously. The movement is gener- ally toward centres of electric disturb ance, and is perceptibly affected by the passage of cars; fast passenger trains be- ing much more effective than freight or coal trains. One steel rail at Rochester was so much affected by these currents as to become permanent magnet.

Freight Trains Collide.

An accident occurred on the Della.
ware railroad last evening, between
two freight trains, which wrecked
several cars and one engine. The Della
ware & Chesapeake freight with James
II. Warfield as conductor, while COM
ing north was run into from the rear
while rounding the curve near New
Castle station, by the extra Harring-
ton freight in charge of conductor
Alexander Flemming. The former
train had slowed up, when the second
train came along and struck the for
ward train before 1t could be stopped.
The engine of the Harrington freight,
together with several cars, we're bad "
