cushine's island.

Two more shafts have been sunk, and water
struck, one at the wharf and the other at the 10
tel. An ice house to supply hotel and cottages
has been built, and the ice pond near White Head,
which is fed by springs, has been cleaned and
deepened. Men are at work removing the remain
der of the dead trees. Mr.. John C. Stevens is
making plans, with Mr.. H. b. Brown. for studio
to be built for the latter, about 100 yards from
the Ottawa House The old bathing houses Oh
the beach are being removed and Mr.. Stevens is
engaged upon designs for new building, a COM
bination of summer house and bathing houses,
similar to that at Newport. This will be built
at the head of the beach. Cottages are to be
built for Messrs. Charles and Thomas Cushing of
Montreal, that for the former having been already
begun. A Portland gentleman has purchased a
lot and will build cottage thereon in readiness
for next season. These new cottages designed
by Mr.. Stevens, win be about the same size and
general appearance externally of the Thaxter cot
tage. The front entrance Of the hotel is to be en-
larged and improved, the kitchen doubled in CO.
pacity, and spacious laundry erected. The new
shore path, from the wharf to the hotel, arranged
agreeably to the Olmstead plan, is change that
will be much appreciated.

Preserving Shoe Leather.

The London Field says: There is one
simple article which will render any
decently made boot thoroughly imper.
yious. It is nothing more or less than
cold.brawn castor oil "pure and simple"
It is best applied before moderate fire.
The boots to be dressed should be quite
clean and dry; and especial care should
be given to the welt and the tongues, and
their stitching on the upper feathers. /
generally begin by pouring the oil from
the bottle around the welt, so that the
angle between the sole and upper leather
is quite filled with oil and then proceed
all over the boot, including the edges
rubbing it in with the hand. When one is
done have a turn at the other, and so
alternately until you have got in about a
tablespoonful and a.half to each boot.
The tongues, being thinner leather,
should be quite saturated. Subsequent
dressings will not require so much oil. l
have never found anything to touch this
as a, waterproof dressing (; the gelationous
oil seems to efectually stop every pore
in the leather. There is another advan-
tage for those that are natty in such mat.
tiers; the boots will soon take a good
common blacking] polish SO much so
that man may water proof his ordinary
walking boots fer bad weather without
spelling their appearance. With com.
mon walking boot of ordinary thickness,
apply the oil over the sole. l wear the
boots SO treated, shooting, over thick
wooden socks for from eight to twelve
hours day or more, without feeling the
slightest inconvenience in any way; but
they have the chilly feel inseparable
from all boots that are oiled in any way

A Strange Case Of Credulity.

Cov1NaToN, Ga, April l7.--About
June % last a low, burly looking negro
came to this County from Alabama. His
appearance was followed by great excite.
ment. he said God revealed to him that
il be would dig at a certain place in the
canebrake he would find large chest
filled with gold dollars. He was directed
to measure them and they would measure
just twenty bushels. He claims that
John A. Murrell buried it there long
years ago. He soon got two negro men
to help him work the money out. He
now has them employed at salary of
five dollars day each promising to pay
them when he gets the gold. They COM
menced work June %, 1884. In cane.
brake with a hole at the top that measur-
ed eighty feet in diameter they spent six
months OF hard labor. About December
Is the rains came, and it was impossible
to keep the water out sufficiently to sink
the hole deeper. They stopped work
and it soon filled up with water. The
hole is now filled with water thirty.five
feet deep.

horseshoe, and it was not many days be-
fore he said God had revealed to him
another good fortune quarter of mile
from the first one. This time it was on a
high rocky ridge where there was no
chance for it to fill with water. He and
his same two negroes began work January
l last. The size of the hole at the top is
ninety feet in diameter, and it is now
about forty feet deep. 1t looks like a
fort in time of war. They are now work
ing in solid gray rock. They are without
money, and have poor credit. 1t is a
mystery how they carry on the work.
After they made blast and while there,
your correspondent asked the saints per.
mission to go the bottom of the hole and
see for himself. He said he did not allow
any one down in the hole, but if the
correspondent would throw out his tobac>
co and not speak while in the hole, he
might go down. The promise was made,
and the correspondent ventured to the
bottom, coming away satisfied that there
was no money for the saint.

The Mule.

The mule is miracle of patience.
endurance and intelligence. The mule
is naturally kind and gentle, and his
tricks-his stubbornness, his vice, etc
are the result of hard treatment. The
mule has always been butt. He has
meekly submitted to violence, to obloquy
and to contempt. Where horse is
petted and argued with, a mule is knock.
ed on the head. Any Irregularities Of
behavior in horse are ascribed to mettle,
to high blood, spirit, etc. He is admired
as lofty minded creature, a proud aristo:
crat, and all that. A mule is simply
cursed under similar circumstances
viewed as a pig-headed and malignant
brute, and treated accordingly. You can
ride mule in the darkest night along a
road infested with ruts and bridges, yet
he will never fall down, never put bis
foot into hole, never betray your conf
dence. A horse will do all of these
things. In a word, the horse depends
upon his rider, whereas the wise rider
may safely depend upon his mule.

Bones For Grape Vines.

If bones are really as valuable as they
are claimed to be by some 70. grapevines,
everyone has the means at hand for stim-
ulating his vines to wonderful vigor. 1t
is said that if bone be planted in the
earth near the root of the grape the vine
will send out a leading root directly to
the bone. In its passage it will throw
out no fbres, but when it reaches the
bone the root will entirely cover it with
the most delicate fibres, like lace, each
one seeking pore of the bone. On this
bone the vine will continue to feed rs
long as nutriment remains to be extracted
This is interesting and every one who
has the means at hand to furnish this
nutriment to their vines by utilizing the
bones, of which every house has supply
