/ Platt Burr was arrested at Sho-

Jesse Pollard, on warrant sworn
out by Walter Hodgman. He was
taken before Justice Lemon on arri.
val of the train. and held under $1,000
bonds for his appearance yesterday
at 4 P. NJ. He appeared at that time,
and the bond was reduced to $500
for his appearance on tomorrow, to
which time the hearing was postpon-

The substance of The complaint is
that a week ago last Saturday Mr..
Burr drew check for 300 on par

Jabez Chase to endorse the check SO
that he BURR could get the money

On Monday Mr.. Burr left for Sho-

the situation of things, swore out the
warrant, and the Sheriff telegraphed
to Shoshone to have him arrested. It
is reported that he has also victimiz-

$50, and the Ketchum Bank for $780,
and Joe Pinkham for 800. There
is some doubt, however, about the

What Is the betel-nut of which thu
Malays are said TO be 80 fond2v
''It is a white nut which looks almost
like ivory. Every Malay family wi TIL
out an exception has a box, divided into
little compartments, and with a drawer
at the bottom containing a pair of
shears. In one OF the compartments of
the box Is some betel-nut cut fine with
the shears; in another several sirih
leaves; in the next some slaked lime
made from coral shells. and in tho last
some fine tobacco. At midday, which
is the dinner hour, the family assemblies
and squats in a circle on mats, which
do duty for chairs, In the center is a
bowl OF rice and another OF curry. Each
one takes a handful of rice in turn, dips
IL in the curry, and conveys it to his
mouth without splitting a crumb. 7 do
this gracefully is the height of Malay
table etiquette.
AFTER all have finished the betel- box
makes its appearance and is handed
round. Each person takes one of the
sirih leaves, which are five inches long
and arrow-shaped, and lays IL out fiat
on the palm ofthe left hand. Then he
takes a little betel-nut, puts some Of
the lime upon it, adds a small quantity
of tobacco, and then rolls the whole up
together. Then he places it in his
mouth, holding it by his front teeth,
never chewing it by his side teeth as
Americans do to tobacco. Then you
may want to hire him, or to transact
some business with him eyer so badly,
but he won't stir. He will simply say;
4 have no time, master. l am chewing
tho sirih.'"

Economy in Extracting Gold.


Two useful inventions are described
in a London journal as promising
largely to increase the quantity of gold
extracted from minerals. One of these
is an improved mercury matchmaking
machine, by which the yield of gold is
notably augmented, and most of the
''fioat'' or Flower gold hitherto lost
under the best processes is saved. What
is regarded as still more important in
this line is a very ingenious application
of electricity with quicklime and COM
mon salt, by which, it is claimed, the
most intractable of auriferous ores ara
compelled to yield up their whole charge
of precious metal.
Tho rate of production, as proved by
exhaustive tests made at London, shows
about n ton per hour Of ore for n
small dynamo machine, and while the
cert fed cost amounts to but a few
shiilinss per ton, the value of the gold
gained is said TO average 90 per cent of
all that the ore contains-a most re-
markable result, as compared with other
methods. Here is encouragement for
owners of eastern mines, who have not
been able thus far to make the product
of reduction equal the cost. Let our
Hudson river and Georgia friends be
hopeful.

Pure Line Engraving.

The production of pure line engrav-
ings, such as those Of Raphael Morghen,
is nov almost wholly a thing Of the
past. Though a number of highly
trained engravers are still constantly
employed to engrave on copper in the
old methods at tho Calcograda Regia,
in Rome, yet this is done with the help
of a large government subsidy, and the
art is thus kept alivo in a purely arti-
fetal way. The truth is, that the liking
for this once popular style Of engrav-
ings has passed away, and not alto
gether without reason. The engray-
ings even OF such a master OF the BURN
as Raphael Morghen are usually dull
and l~ifeless. They give US nothing but
the dry bones of the picture; there is
absolutely no INDICATION of color, little
or no rendering of texture, and not the
slightest attempt even to suggest the
special handling of each master.

A Plea for Petty States.


Europe would be a wilderness filled
with warning sayages, and North Amer.
lea would be a hunting field but for the
petty states" of Judea and Attica,
neither of them equal in extent, popu-
lation or power to modern Holland,
Belgium or Servia. Nor are they neces-
sarily devoid of the principle of growth.
The petty state of Macedonia mas
tered western Asia; the petty state"
of Latium gave laws to the world; the
petty state of Brandenburg is dom
inant at this hour in the councils of
civilized mankind.
No state could be smaller than Savoy;
yet what does Italy not owe to its
''pestilent' princes, always intent, like
King Milan, on getting something's Nor
is swift erland large, which has given an
example that dissolyes tyrannies, and
serves, solely by force Of the respect it
inspires, to keep the great states Of
western Europe from a direct collision
of boundaries. AS for the states of the
Balkan, they have performed, and are
performing, the greatest of political
services done in this modern world; are
regaining for civilization that eastern
empire which the Turks blotted out in
blood.

A bunch of Baby Oysters.

@
We were in the vicinity Of the Saddle
Rock and Blue Point bays, where the
famous oysters were obtained, and, in
deed, right on the beach below the place
1 ate a delicious oyster which was
opened for me, as l vas the only one in
the party to whom it was a novelty. /
thought of my western friends and
wished that might send them a great
group o oysters attached to seaweed.
| had never seen them growing be-
fore, nor had / seen the different sizes
indicating the stage Of growth. The
baby oysters, though no larger than a
little finger-nail, were quite perfect, and
tucked themselves in between the
mother she'll and a pebble and a bit of
sea-weed, as tenacious Of life as il really
amounting to something. The very
first beginning is an outline Of white,
spattered on a developed oyster shell,
which, though it defines tho shape, you
would never dream was finally 10 be a
grown-up oyster.
