1t never rains in RIO but 1t .pours; and
when It pours it makes the street crossings
at the foot Of the hills impossible to polished
shoes and boots But the bane Of one Is
the benefit Of another. The big negro who
has been out Of work for a fortnight, now
finds forthight's work compressed into q
few hours, in carrying gentlemen and ladies
from one island 10 another of the municipal
archipelago.
The Cora Pearl Of Rio is Susanna. She
has one Of the toniest turn-outs in the city
a carriage lined with white satin, a pair OF
mouldy looking mules. a white liveried driv-
er, and other symbolic signs Of purity about
her; but the very stones in the street cry
out against her for all that, with a strumpety-
strum p-strum as she goes over them.
The plaster OF Paris image-maker of Rio
will not sell his simulacrA OF Christ and the
saints---not be; for that would be a gross
sacrilege, but he will swap them for as much
sinful luere as may be agreed upon between
the party Of the first part and the party OF
the second part.
The Italian peddlers of Rio. like the Jacks
Of of an euchre deck, 20 in pairs. In this
way, in traversing q street, each gets the
benefit Of the Others din, By hammering on
a pan IL he be tinker, or by elapping two
sticks together II he be q dealer in dry goods
and notions, or By shouting II he be ven
der of glass, or the like. And when the right
bower cannot be played and a wash-boiler
disposed Of anvaniageously, hapIy the left
will be able TO sell 4 spool of cotton and take
the trick
The most extraordinary OF the street per-
formers OF Rio Is hideously old negro with
his bead and feet bare, his legs incased In n
pair OF white cotton drawers and his body in
tightly fitting and closely buttoned Prince
Albert broadclOth coat. which, with little
cleaning and fumigating, gentleman might
wear without remark in the street. In his
ugliness, the most noteworthy factors are a
sinister wall eye, horizontally pleated or cor
rugated gums, snsggle teeth, aud a thicken-
ing of the integnment about the ankles very
like elephantiasis. His musical instruments
are an oblong wooden box over which are
strung four brass wires, und flute without
finger-holes. When he sings-or rather when
he grunts in rhythm, he accompanies him
self by stunning on the former, and follows
every succession of a score or so OF grunts
with a shuttle of his elephantastic, mean bis
elephantiastic feet; and when he plays on
the flute, he puts the lateral mOuth-hole 10
his left nOstril and blows his nose through 81.
and modifes the nasal snort that escapes
with his right hand AT the dstal end of the
instrument, the while be snaps with his cor
rugated lips like a toothless dog afflicted with
rabies and rolls his left eve around like an
egg-shell in a little eddy OF ink

Queen NAB.

The appearance at the Opera roller rink on
last evening Of this sprightly little lady was
an event in the roller skating world of this
vicinity. There seems TO be peculiar de-
gree of genius necessary to make a profess
sionsl skater, and Miss Mable Davidson pos
sesses It TO an unusual extent.
A large au dience was in attendance and
all were well pleased with the manner in
which she acquitted herself. There seems no
feat that is possible TO perform upon the
treacherous rollers which our Queen Nab
does not dare TO undertake or successfully
perform. Her exhibition here as well as
elsewhere where she has been WAS met with
frequent applause and at its close
she was made the recipient Of
many testimonials of appreciation and es-
teem- Her engagement will end here this
evening, when a number Of new figures and
difficult feats will be performed. The Seer
mania" furnished the music as usual last
evening and will be present tonight after
the parade.

Letter in san Francisco BulletinI
Ezra Meeller. said to be the largest hop
grower in the world, had 700 Indians engag-
ed in picking hops this season. The aver
age number in a yard is 200. II is interest
ing to visit them. They form motley crowd.
The "Klutcbmen" INDIAN women) are con-
sidered by their lords aud masters TO be lit
tie better than beasts OF burden; hence
they perform the work, while the ''bravesr
take the money. They pick on an average q
box and a half day, making sI.50.
In tie evening the weary pickers return
10 their tents. An hour later and the savage
element appears in stronger relief. The
braves, in lazy enjoyment, bask before the
blazing enters while their women prepare
the evening meal. Fish is the principal
dish, baked in the ashes, boiled or dried
Cakes Of dough, together with wild orabap-
Piles and clans, form the bill OF fare. The
different tribes camp by themselves. A
Klickltat from the far cascades struts around
in his new blanket and challenges his Alaska
tillicums to a gambling game. But they arc
not yet ready. They are seated around the
council fire in their bark lodge.

Miss Kate Smulsey. Of Fort Plain, the
famous faster, whose case has attracted the
attention of the whole scientific world, and
who is claimed TO have abstained from food
nearly 200 days, is TO all appearances as
hearty as ever. The rudy glow Of her face
and comparatively plump form, that so thor
oughly puzzled those who examined her some
time ago, remain the same, and are sadly
out of keeping with the assertions Of her
mother and others, who stoutiy aver that not
a mOuthful OF food has passed the faster's
lips In over six months. SIT Is impossible
for her 10 eat, " Mrs Smulsey saws, 'and
none OF US can keep her alive" DR.. Zoller,
her physician, states It was all mystery to
him. He can give no explanation OF the

sustained SO long. The young lady does not
sleep more than one hour out of twenty-four
aud is extremely restless when awake. Many

NfmnIe Decoration

The portiere has become one Of the perm
anent institutions of American homes. From
quilt swung on line between the two
rooms Of the log cabin TO the velvet drapery
Of the drawing-room on ebonized poles, It is
alike seryiceable and necessary. 1t is even
used now on the outside Of rooms to shield
the door from passing draughts. A pretty
aud simple form of portiere Is that made OF
old silk cut in widths and knit in quarter
stitch on immense wooden needles. The
same strips can be either knit or woven to-
gether. Another simple form Of home deco
rating is the craze in New York at present.

Socorro.

An interview with John A. Samborn, a
former business man Of Mankato, aud who
has been for the past few months at Socorro,
New Mexico, aud who returned few days
since, ELECTS the information that times are
fairly good in this new mining town, although
like all of them everything is very dear in
the way Of food. The location of the mines
is 1915 feet above sea level, and operations
were suspended on the 1st of November.
The mines are silver quartz and are very
rich. Mr.. Samborn is in love with the
climate of New Mexico, but thinks the soil is
not favorable for agriculture, which is Of
itself in a very backward state. He viii
