Australian Wonders.

There are two magnificent sources OF
wealth in Australia, one of which has
been imperfectly exploited. while the
other Is almost Untapped. The first
consists of the subterranean channels
of ancient rivers. which have long
since ceased to flow and have been
buried for ages beneath the super-in-
cumbent strata through which the en-
terprising miner now sinks his shaft.
Each of these must have been verit-
able PactOlus, and their golden sands
have yielded rich return to many an
adventurous company. The second
source of wealth is also subterranean
and will probably be far more precious
than the first. We refer to the under
ground rivers which have their origin
in the great central depression of the
Australian continent, where some
superficial streams and the heavy trOp-
ical rains disappear, percOlating
through the penetrable soil and form
ing reservoirs, from whence at least
two great bodies of water issue south
ward and find an outlet in the sea.
Ever and anon one of these channels
Is pierced by the well sinker, and there
rises TO the surface a perennial spring
of the precious element, in the midst
of region that is liable to be parched
with drought. Such a discOv r.
has lately been made at More ,,
i'll the electoral district of GwydlT,
about 800 miles north of sgd
ney. Water was struck at a depth OF
100 feet and it rose AZ feet in three
hours. "The value of the discovery"
We are told, cannot be over estimated,
as the country in the vicinity has hith-
ertO suffered terribly in dry seasons"
The question rises whether, mas
much as the country is beginning to be
dotted with various points at which
similar discover es have been made, 1t
would not be possibly by systematic
Investigations to determine apprOxim-
ately the course of one, at least, of the
subterranean rivers-that which is be-
leved to have its Outfall near Portland
so that boring Operations might be
conducted for the time to come in those
places only where there is reasonable
prospect of success.

A Mexican Tale.

A wild story comes from Periban.
Michoacan. Three well mounted and
well armed men stopped at an inn to
pass the night. The woman who kept
the place advised the authorities that
three suspicious men had called at her
house. The President of the City
Council and the Judge, with few citi-
zens, went to the house to see the Sus-
picious characters. But the three men
locked themselves in their room and
refused to be interviewed. 4 crowd of
citizens was collected, but when they
appeared they were greeted with vol
ley from the three men. An as
sault was then made on the room and
the three prisoners, breaking out of
the door, fought their way through the
crowd, using their revolvers and dag
gers. The crowd followed closely af-
ter the fugitives and many shots were
exchanged. Finally, one OF the fellows
dropped. Even while dying he turned
over and fired on his puIsuers. A sec
ond fell few steps further on, fighting
hard. The third, sheltering himself
behind a rock, made it warm for his
pursuers, and though often wounded,
fought on with scarcely enough strength
to draw his rifle to his shoulder. Called
on to surrender he only replied with a
bullet which relieved the president of
his hat. The crOwd closed in around
him as the death mist was passing over
his eyes. Still he tried to pull the
trigger of his rifle for parting shot,
but life and strength failed HIM. The
corpses were buried III Periban. They
were supposed to be part of Marcial
Braves bandit troop during the fight
the citizens had fired 200 shots and of
these nearly twenty had taken effect
on the bandits. who were torn to
pieces by the terrible storm of lead.
Several of the citizens were wounded.
The bandits died like legendary heroes.
