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 Il daily, OF rather
nightly, supply OF liquid, rarely fit TO
drink, across the lagoons, from stream
emptying near a place called Servola.
These old travellers, and those who have
yet 10 visit that much-yisited city, will
be glad 10 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 ia this
piece OF hydraulic engineering, which
is internationally Interesting. The con-
tract for works has Deen carried out by
the Public Works Company Of Italy
Messrs, breda & Co.-including the
construction of the reservoir and litter
bells al horenlO, on the main land, and
the laying OF the pipes under the Lagu-
Ia to the city of Venice of total length,
OF somewhat over four miles. If a
diameter OF 81. inches, aAd the laytpg
of the total length OF mains in the thor
oughfares and canals. of about sixteen
miles, of 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 an engine house
and reservoir at st. Andrea. the cree
tion OF 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, TO the entire satisfaction
of the cOnceSSlOaaireS, Oh the 23d of
of June, 1884. The concession was
originally granted to Mr.. ID. Z. Dal.
cairns, Z. E., 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
Eaus pour les Estrangers, of Paris.
which was formed for the purpose OF
carrying out this scheme in January,

Italian Chestnuts.

The poor people VINO live among the
mountains of Northern Italy are greatly
helped by the chestnut harvest. Tney
do not have the abundance offood 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
ter by the fires heat from below. When
the chestnuts are dried and the outer
skin has been cracked off by the heat,
then they are ground in mill, SO that
the flour goes to make chestnut bread
and cakes and porridge during the
barren season, when there is but little
fresh food to be got by the poor. The
dried chestnuts are boiled whole like
wise. so that, in one form or another,
the fruit OF the woods forms a support
during this time for all the peasants
throughout the land.

Arizona. Name,

The name by which this Territory I:
known was first borne by a mountain
near the celebrated ''Planchas de Pla-
Ia, " on its southern boundary. AIizO-
LA, however, was first called "Pim-ra. y
Authorities differ as 10 the origin of
the present name. Some say il Is acor.
ruptiOn Of Arlzuma," 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 frem
two Pima words, Art" a maiden, and
"Zon" a valley. In our opinion this is
all bOsh, and We are more aStonished
when these "deriyations" are believed
10 be true and correct by gentlemen
who make pretensions Of letters. A
few days ago We gave the only true ety.
molOgy of the word. 1t is not an ety.
mon. 1t is derivation-a compound
Of two latin words, VIZ: "Aridus" and
''zOna". Aridus-dry, from ''areo, ("
to be dry. From this root also comes
the word ''arid," which signifies dry,
exhausted of moisture, parchsd with
heat, as, for instance, an arid waste.
This is without doubt one of the roots,
the prefix ARD Of the word Arizona
There is n0 difficulty in the way as tc
the Juftix This is plain enough to any
one who has studied word analysis
"Zona"Or zone" simply mean a gIrdle
or belt, Hence We have the different zOn.

frigld, two temperate and one torrid, tc
mark the average heat from the suns

Hence the sutfix "Zone'' OF ''Lona, {"
and We have the word Arizona, whose
meaning IS simply "a dry OF parched
belt Of country" This name, however
is a misaomer, as far as the greater por.

boyhood or Emiusut Men.

DIR. Abbott was for half "a century
principal of Phillips Exeter Academy.
He recently talked about school-boys as
follows:
Lewis Cass was a very wild boy.
One day his father, Major Cass, came
TO me and asked me If | would lake his
SON."
Certainly, but why do you askl'
OH the yOungster is headstrong and
hard to manage. ! am an officer, and
can govern soldiers, but that boy is goo
much for me-"
What does he do2'
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 pranks.'
Well, send him 10 me aud I'll sea
what | can do with him.
The boy was placed under my
charge. Several months later met his
father and asked him how his son WAS
getting along. Well, sir, said he, if
Lewis was half as fraid of the Almighty
as he is of you, should never have any
more trouble with him.
In relating this incident DIR. 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-
dinary power Of discipline, the strong
motive energies which led young Cass
into all sorts Of boyIsh 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 III American history. II
was, however, intimated that at Exeter
the future statesman evinced more
talent for practical affairs than for the
details Of scholarship.
In speaking of the school-boy traits
Of Daniel Webster, DIR. Abbot men
toned an unexpected fact. lie said
that "Young Webster showed an in
superable aversion 10 defamation. As
the boy IS father 10 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
popular miscpprehension 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 10 be engaged
III 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

which these agreeable recOllections
1t WAS ouita obvious that age
had not wholly quenched tho tres of
earlier manhood.

Chinese Dead

The San Francisco Chronicle III "A
recent issue says: There are just now
Soc.5g sxifssfI4cd the Zones u 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 cOfiins, with their
decaying contents, and this number
will probably see large increase before
the year expires. Yesterday All Sam
was digging up the women 5 corner in
the plot. Five living Chinese women
were ready to welcome the planted ones
back to light, and whenever i 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 so much
cloth and blanketiEg tia pOking with
a stick would not reveal the treasures,
and in such cases the MOngOl DANES
would daintily deposit their cigarettes
upon the cofiin's 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 50 that he may get to
heavens gate with sufficient toll to
purchase admission. To search for this
in the depth of grinning skull and to
find it WAS pronounced rs 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 lands would pluck it away as if
it were 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 matter -Of-fact way,
smoking cigars furnished by the friends
of the deceased. Their hands were
their tools. no matter how repulsive
looking were the contents Of coffin.
Beginning at the feet, these men pick
out of the coffin every lit and silver of
bone, carefully mashins any soft sub.
stance between their fingers to make
sure that not even trace Of bony
structure remains in the land of the
white devils. The bones are then
cleaned after a fashion, and if it is
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
CT the body by itself, and then the
whole is placed in little zinc-lined
box, which is ostensibly the package

fhs 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 il has
ever made since its reception in Phila-
delphla. In lT5l the Pennsylvania As
sembly yauthOriZed Isaac Norris, Thomas
Leech and Edward Warner TO procure
bell for the State House. Accordingly,
under date of November lst of that
year, these gentlemen wrote to Robert
Charles, of London, stating their order
and authority, and applying to him to
get them "a good bell of about 1900
pounds weight" which they fancisd
might cost GOO or more, including
charges. In the letter is inserted; LET
the bell be cast 10y the best workmen
and examined carefully before it is
shipped, with the following words we'll
shaped in large letters around it, VIZ:
BY order 0f the Assembly of the
Province of Pennsylvania for the State
House, in the city of Philadelphia,
l7j2." And underneath; Proclaim
liberty through all this land unto all
the inhabitants thereof Levitt xxxy,
TO-"
In due course Of time the bell reached
Philadelphia, and under date of March
10, 1853, Mr.. Norris again writes; ''In
that letter | gave information that our
bell was generally liked and approved
of, but in 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 it 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 it 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 it tn tgy the sound and
strength, and liked upon an ounce and
half af copper to one pound OF the old
bell, and in this proportion We now
have it., ;"
The casting was done by a native of
the Isle of Malta, named Pass; land a
SOIl Vi ODdIlco DlOW. IL NdS ulScON
cred that too much copper had been
used, and so a second casting was found
TO be necessary, and in the first week of
June, 1756, 1t was Iehung i'll the belfry,
its weight being 2,0S0 pounds, the base
of the woodwork of the steeple was so
decayed that it was taken down and
small belfry alone covered the bell.
Since then, however, the steeple has
been reconstructed "a 1t originally
stood. In l77I, at the time the British
were expected to occupy the city, the
bell was removed to Bethlehem. 1t
occupied one of the wagons Of train of
700, all under the charge Of Colonel
Polk and detachments Of North Caro-
lima and Virginia troops. AT Bethle-
hem, September 23, 1777, the old bell
met with its first accident. the wagon
which carried it breaking down, but
fortunately it sustained no injury.
After the evacuation it Was returned to
the State House people, and some years
afterward was cracked, this ended Its
career of usefulness.
