Water Ia Veuice.

Those who have stald In Venice have
learned what it meant to be dependent
for water upon an army Of men, who,
with barges, fetch a daily, or rather
nightly, supply of liquid, rarely ft to
drink, across the lagoons, from a stream
emptying al a place called Servola.
These old travellers, and those who have
yet to visit that much-yisited city. will
be glad to learn that the Inauguration
of the Venice water works, by which a
real piped water supply is carried into
the romantic city, took place on the
23d of June last, and fully realized the
expectations OF all concerned In this
piece of hydraulic engineering, which
is internationally Interesting. The con-
tract for works has been carried out by
the Public Works Company Of italy
Messrs. Breda & Co.-inciuding the
construction Of the reservoir and filter
beds at Moreno, III the main land, and
the laying Of the pipes under the Lagu-
ma to the city of Venice of "A total length
of somewhat over four miles, IF a
diameter of 3l.5 inches, and the laying
of the total length of mains in the thor
oughfares and canals. of about sixteen
miles, of q diameter of lis inches. In
the course of laying these mains they
were taken at eighty. five places across
canals and twice across the Grand Canal
work which involved considerable
difficulties. The work also included
the construction of ali engine house
and reservoir at st. Andrea, the cree
ton of a pair of fifty nomin | horse.
power engines, together with laying on
the water to all tie principal buildings
and hotels in the city. The work WAS
commenced early in January, 1881, and
was consigned, 10 the entire satisfaction
of the cOnceSSlOndireS, on the sd of
of June, 1884. The concession was
originally granted to Mr.. D.. c, Dial
cairns, g. f., of Palermo and Penge,
in 1876, upon provisional plans and
studies then deposited, and the works
have been carried out Oh the definite
plans presented by him on the 23d of
June, 1877. The company to which the
property now belongs is the Societe des

boyhood or Eminent Men.

DR.. Abbott was for half a century
principal of Phillips Exeter Academy.
He recently talked about schoOl-boys rs
follows.
Lewis Cass vas a very wild boy.
One day his father, Major Cass, came
10 me and asked me If | would take his
SON.
Certainly, but why do you aSkf"
Oh the yOungstec is headstroug and
hard to manage. I am an officer, and
"a govern soldiers, but that boy is 100
much for me.'
What does he do?'
plays truant, runs away from his
work, steals off without permission to
go a cunning, fishing and swimming,
and Is full Of all kinds of FRANKS
Well, send him 10 me and I'll see
what | a do with him.
''The boy was placed under my
charge. Several months later l met his
father and asked MN how his son was
getting along. Well, sir, said he, if
Lewis was half as fraid of the Almighty
as he is of you, l should never have any
more trouble with him.
In relating this incident DR.. Abbot
fairly shook with the laughter which
the recollection Of Major Cass' answer
excited.
1t is scarcely necessary to add that.
controlled by the ~preceptor's extraor-
binary power of discipline, the strong
motive energies which led young Cass
into all sorts OF bOylsh mischief were
directed TO nobler objects. The results
of the wise management which quick
ened the ambition and reused into ac-
ton the faculties of a powerful nature
are recorded in American history. 1t
was, however, intimated that at Exeter
the future statesman evinced o
talent for practical affairs than for the
details of scholarship.
In speaking of the schoOl-boy traits
of Daniel Webster, DR.. Abbot men
toned an unexpected fact. He said
that "Young Webster showed an in
superable ayersio.. to defamation. AS
the boy is father to the man. it might
have been supposed that the lad who
was destined to be pre-eminent in ora
tory would have exhibited an early
fondness for defamation, but no per-
suasion could overcome his natural
~diftidence."
Dr. Abbot remarked that There was
a popular misrepresentation with regard
to Webster's scholarship. 1t was gene
rally believed that Webster was a dull
and unsuccessful pupil, but such was
not the fact. His mind rarely seemed
to be occupied with his studies. His
large, lustrous, thoughtful eyes were
| gazing about the room. or looking out
of the window; but at recitation the
pupil who appeared not to be engaged
in studious preparation always acquitted
himself well. He often showed a far
better grasp of the subject than those
who were more familiar with the minor
points of scholarship.
While DR.. Abbot was telling these
| anecdotes his tones became more earn
est, and his eyes lighted u pwith a glow
which these agreeable recollections
kindled. 1t was quite obvious that age
had not wholly quenehed the fires Of
earlier manhood.

A~riaonR's Name.

The name by which this Territory L
known was first borne by a mountain
neal the celebrated "Planchas de Pla.
Ia, " on its southern boundary. Arizo'
la, however, was first called "Pimera.'
Authorities differ as To the origin OF
the present name. Some say It is acor'
ruption of ArIzuma," first given to the
country by the early Spanish explorers.
Others maintain that it is of Pima ORR
gin, and means "Little Creek" Still
others hold that its derivation is from
two Pima words, "Art" "a maiden, and
''Z)n" u valley. In onr opinion this Is
all bosh, and We are more astonished
when these ''deriyations" are believed
10 be true aud correct by gentlemen
who make p~retensions OF letters. A
few days ago We gayeth only true ety.
mology of the word. 1t is not an ety.
mon. 1t is a Derivation compound
of two latin words, VIZ: "Aridus" and
'tzona". Aridus-dry, from 'areo,'
to be dry. From this root also comes
the word ''arid," which signifies dry
exhausted of moisture, parched with
heat, as, for instance, an arid waste.
This il without doubt n of the roots,
the prefix (Ari) of the word Arizona.
There is no difficulty ia the way as tC
the 5uftix This is plain enough TO any
one who has studied word analysis.
"Zona"or ''zone" simply mean a gIrdlt
or belt, Hence we have the different con.
es or girdles on the earth s surface tive
frigid, two temperate and II torrid, tC
mark the average heat from the suns
rays upon certain portions of the earth.
Hence the sufix "zOnsh or ''2oua,'
and we have the word Arizona, whose
meaning is simply "a dry or parchec
belt of country" This name, however
is a misnomeT, as far as the greater pOr'
ton OF Arizona Territory is concerned

The Old Liberty BsII.

The following is an interesting ac-
count of the origin of the old Liberty
bell which is about to be shipped to
New Orleans from Philadelphia: The
trip Of this venerable and cracked piece
of metal will be the second one it has
| ever made since its reception in Phila-
delphIa. In 1851 the Pennsylvania AS
semblyauthoriZed Isaac Norris, Thomas
Leech and Edward Warner to procure
a bell forthe State House. Accordingly,
under date of November LIST of that
year, these gentlemen wrote to Robert
Charles, of London, stating their order
aud authority, and applying to him to
get them "a good bell of about 1900
pounds weight" which they fancied
might cost e20O or more. including
charges. In the letter is inserted; Let
the bell be cast by the best workmen
and examined carefully before it is
shipped, with the following words well
shaped in large letters around it, VIZ:
by order of the Assembly of the
Province of Pennsylvania for the State
House, in the city of Philadelphia,
1852" Ind underneath: proclaim
liberty through all this land unto all
the inhabitants thereof. Levitt. XXXv,
10"
In due course of time the bell reached
Philadelphia, and under date of March
10, 1853, Mr.. Norris again writes; SIN
that letter | gave Information that our
bell was generally liked and approved
of, but i'll a few days after my writing
| had the modification to hear that it
WAS cracked by a stroke of the clapper
without any other violence, as 1t was
hung up to try the sound; though this
was not very agreeable to us, we con-
cluded to send il back by Captain
Budden, but he could not take il back
on board, upon which two ingenious
workmen undertook to cast it here.
When we broke up the old metal our
Judges here generally agreed it was too
high and brittle, and cast several little
bells out of 1t to try the sound and
strength, and liked upon an and
half of copper to one pound of the old
bell, and in this proportion we now
have it."
The casting was done by a native of
tho Isle OF Malta, named Pass; ''and a
son of Charles Stow" 1t was discov-
cred that too much copper had been

June, 1855, 1t was rehung III the belfry,
its weight being 1850 pounds, the base
of the woodwork OF the steeple vas so
decayed that it vas taken down and u
small belfry alone covered the bell.
Since then, however, the steeple has
been reconstructed as 1t originally
stood. In l777, at the time the British
were expected to occupy the city, the
bell was removed to Bethlehem. 1t

700, all under the charge of Colonel
Polk and detachments of North Caro-
lima and Virginia troops. AT Bethle-

italian Chsstnuts,

The poor people who live among the
mountains of Northern Italy are greatly
helped by the chestnut harvest. They
do not have the abundance Of food with
which We are favored, and therefore
prize the nuts. The chestnut harvest
lasts three weeks or more. When the
fruit is all gathered in. it is spread
above the open rafters that form the
roof of every kitchen in these Italian
cottages, there to be dried during win

the chestnuts are dried and the outer
skin has been cracked of by the heat,
then they are ground in a mill, 30 that

him.

murder Of Norwood Templeton ar
rested him. He seemed too bewildered
by some other event to take any notice
of this and, when he went away with
the one in authority to pack up a few
things, the other explained to me that
Norwood had been found dead, shot in
the chest, with a discharged pistol in
his hand.
The man had evidently something
else to tell. l pressed him, Reluctantly
he said
"Well, miss, yOn must know itsooner
or later but she who it's all about Is
dead too. She was found dead in the
hall by the servants when they came

only remains to tell that before night
Richard was ut liberty and the Spaniard
in custody; that the latter confessed his
crime, and considered that he had acted
fairly towards his enemy iii allowing
him a shot at him. He suffered the
penalty of the law.
The cause of poor Queenie's death
was a mystery. The doctors disagreed
about it. For myself L cannot say
whether it was the heart-disease in
herIted from her mother, aggravated by
the excitement of that fatal night and
morning, or whether d deeper, stranger
must be sought for the flight of her
pure spirit from its fair tenement.
Richard mourned as strong men

where he would se3 daily the objects

And he at last agreed to go to Canada.
His mother and l accompanied him;
and here, as in old England, good
fortune waited on his patient labor.

The San Francisco Chronicle In Il
recent issue says: There are just now
being eXhumed the bones of several
hundred Mongolians to be sent back TO
the Celestial Kingdom, in accordance
with the solemn covenant made by the
various Chinese companies with each
of their members. From November II
until yesterday there have been resur-
rected at the City Cemetery about one
hundred and eighty eofins, with their
decaying contents, and this number
will probably see a large increase before
the year expires. Yesterday All Sam
vas digging up the women s corner in
the plot. Five living Chinese women
were ready to welcome the planted ones
back to light, and whenever u cover
would be knocked off the decayIng cof-
fins these Celestial beauties would
eagerly bend over the contents, without
regard to the direction of the wind, and
begin a search for the jewels and money
of the late lamented. Generally the
bodies proved to be swathed in 50 much
cloth and blanketing thai poking with
a stick would not reveal the treasures,
and in such cases the Mongol DANES
would daintily deposit their cigarettes
upon the collins edge and dive into the
horrible mass with their fingers. The
first article looked for was generally
the coin which is placed in every Chi
naman's mouth so that he may get to
heavens gate with sufficient toll to
purchase admission. To search for this
in the depth of a grinning skull and to
find it WAS pronounced as good luck by
these danes, who were said to be res
pectable married women, as otherwise
they would not be permitted to enter
the burial plot set apart for the lords of
creation. The money found. the ear
rings were the next prize, and If by
chance a little piece Of cartilage ad-
hered to the bit of silver and jasper, the
living hands would pluck it away as If
it were a sweet morsel of prime roast
pork. Then the jasper bracelets would
be disengaged from the bones of the
hand and forearm, and, this done, the
professional bone-picker would begin
his work. These bone pickers plainly
were not men OF sentiment. They
went to work In a matter of-fact way,
smoking cigars furnished by the friends
Of the deceased. Their hands were
their tools. no matter how repulsiye
looking were the contents of a coffin.
Beginning at the feet, these men pick

found that even a joint of the small toe
is missing, the grave, the coffin and the
ground are thoroughly searched. When
all the bones have been found they are
wrapped in pieces of muslin, each part
of the body by itself, and then the
whole Is placed in a little 2inc-llned
box, which is ostensibly the package
which goes to China.
