WHERE WAS TT LOCATED.
An Engineer Tells . Brooklyn Paper q
Remarkable Story About . "Salted's
Maize Mine.

II met the chief engineer of a bogus silve,
mine the other day." says a writer in the
Brooklyn Union. 1.-The thing had been ex.
posed and he had nothing TO conceal. so he
told me about it. 1t wa. located in the pro.
hibition State of Maine. The projectors
of the scheme made directors of few men
who we're known for their honesty and up
rightness in their respective communities
and then went in to show up the glories of the
mine and sell stock. They went at it in the
most convincing way. They were willing to
show what there was in the mine before any,
body invested money. The mine vas in a
position where il commanded a view OF the
kept 10 warn the men at the mine
when visitors were approaching. The en-
ployes were all selected and let into the Sec
ret. Three or four tons of the best silver ore
that could be found had been used to salt the
mine. The men idled around the mine until
the lookout signalled the approach of par
ty. Then they would GO down the shaft, set
off blast, and scatter lot of the genuine
ore around. When the smoke cleared away,
the visitors would be taken down the shaft
and shown the store of wealth hidden there.
The stock disposed of like hot cakes.
The cat, however, was let our of the bag az
ter time. There was an investigation, the
whole thing was shown up, and the honest
directors who had been roped into the scheme
were called designing Williams by their neigh
bOrs, and hat section of Maine around the
mine was terribly shaken up for quite a
while"

An autopsy of the remains of Mons. Re
naux, who died suddenly at Hotel North, was
held at Mr. Charles Knowlton's shop on OAK
staeet. at 9 o'clock A. NJ, yesterday, under
the direction of Coroner Libbey. The exam.
nation was performed by DR.. Martin, assist
ed by Drs. II. NJ. Harlow and Geo. f. Brick.
eu Drs. Geo H. Brickett, johnson, Baker,
and Henry Harlow were present. On
opening the chest it was found that the cavity
surrounding the heart WAS filled with clotted
oiood, and the left ventricle of that organ
was ruptured so that a mans finger could
oe inserted. The substance of the
hesrt' instead of being a firm muscle as with
neaithy individuals, was evidently diseased.
Inc physicians pronounced it fatty degener-
a'ion OF the heart, and the rupturing of the
organ was the immediate cause of the gentle
mans death.

A Korrohhoree in Australia.

After dinner, which was at p. NJ, we
went to see q korrohboree, where the
black fellows were encamped at a short
distance from the house. There were
two tribes of these, and about two hun
dred of them in all. They were painted
with white and black streaks across the
face and chest. and got up in correct
style with skins and spears and boomer
angs, and by the light of the fires which
were kindled in a circle around they
looked sufficiently hideous.
The tribes danced alternately, and the
watchwords of their songs appeared TO
be half English, half native. A great
deal of the action of the dance consisted
in striking the ground at the same mo-
ment, so as to cause an echoing thud
with their feet. One of the repeated
actions was to cause the muscles of the
leg and thigh to quiver simultaneously
from toe to stomach in q most eXtraor-
dinarv manner. At the end of each
figure they brought themselves up with
a strange, deep. toned sound, half hur-
rah, half grunt, wuhm
They would then wheel right across
the inclosed space in line, chattering as
fast as they could, upon the women who
were sitting upon the ground, and also
singing a sort of chorus of a few notes
the line would then wheel back, break
up in twos and threes, brandishing their
short sticks and clubs over their heads,
each man vocilerating quickly to his
mate, then all of a sudden these inco-
herent sounds would all coslesce together
into a chorus and the band, again
united. would cause the ground once
more toYibrate to the reiterated cadence
of their stamp. EduaId and

Birds and Their Feathers.

The best time for seeing perfect feath-
ering is in the winter, or onward to the
spring; then, after very short honey
moon, the birds settle down to domestic
drudgery with exemplary ardor, with the
result that at the end of few weeks
their tail-feathers are rough and irregu-
lar, their pinions worn and ragged from
constant contact with the nest in sitting;
and by the time their new suit comes at
midsummer they are more than ready for
it. The spring, of course, is the climax
of birds life. With scrupulous care
he arranges hourly his feathers, all their
markings are seen to perfection, and
many peculiarities of decoration are
then and then alone displayed. The
leshy combs and protuberances become
scarlet and enlarged, and any one who
has not seen pheasant or cock grouse
at this season of love would be aston
ished at the alteration from his
normal state. The cock pigeon
swells that part of his body
most adorned with iridescent feathers to
make the grandest show he can; and
every humble finch and small bird
brushes up his modest finery. 1t is said
that not single bright-colored feather
on any birds body is left idle or undis-
played. If birds have bright colored
tails they raise them to their highest and
fullest and abase their heads; if bright
heads, then they shake out their plumes,
their eye distends, and their wattles
swell; and if, as in some cases. they have
large tippets of feathers falling on both
sides of the head, they contrive the be-
wildered hen shall see all the glories of
both sides at one glance, and so drag all
the feathers of the far side round to the
near side, making such huge mass that
the face is nearly hidden, and the pro-
jecting beak alone shows where the head
must be. All this done for the hens
benefit, and it is only done when she is
near; it all turns on her existence, and
ceases if she be absent. Magazine Of
