FAMED QUARRIEs OF CARRARA.
Where 5000 Men Dig Out of Italian
Hills the Marble of Art.

l have recently spent some days at Car
rara, says Rome letter, where some
5000 men are at work in the quarries.
There are 100 studios Of sculpture at
Carrara, % saw mills and - polishing
wheels, which brighten dull marble and
smooth the slight fortunes of some 400
ploddIng workers. The hewing of rough
rocks, huge in their proportions, is some
thing approaching the marvellous here.
The men are hOisted to the height of some
700 feet above the level of the quarry, and
up ai9ft eXcayate perfectly colossal humps
of Carrara marble. Each gang, or the
foreman of the gang. goes down with and
on the lump as it is swung by derrick
r0nes out into the air and swiftly brought
to mother aartb,
One of these italians will sing in lusty
tones, viva, Viva Garibaldi," from his
dizzy eminence and suddenly appear be-
low where you are standing, his bright,
big black eyes full of uneqNalled expires
siyeness and his white teeth glitteIing be-
tween unapprOachable smiles-the in
alienable gifts Of these peOple-0nd say,
"Ah, Signore, will you 90 up with me
again" lust as if it were perfectly Ordi-
nary feat. The free, easy and primitive
style Of this Carrara flying tTapeze work
makes it appear doubly dangerous. Hun
dreds of accidents occur every year.
Children scarcely out of their swaddling
clothes work amidst the glare and dust of
this lovely white marble ard die with
sore eyes and stifled lungs. The food is
dry bread, a raw onion and dirty water
1t is the only place in Italy where wine is
not drunk. Worn out by incessant, severe
toll these people, insufliciently fed, fall
into dissipation, violence and crime, dying
like dogs and leaving on the white marble
the sweat Of their wretched lives. We see
none of all this under the hand Of art.
Fully $4,000 worth of marble goes out
annually from these quarries, the bulk Of
it to France. The price of it varies ac-
cOrding to it's beauty. The first quality
is priced at $50 to $50 per square metre at
the seaport. This is what we term statu-
airy marble. The second quality is priced
at $45 TO $62, and the spotted at $50 to 500.
Then comes pure white, but not statuary
marble. The price is $50 per square
metre. The second quality is $50, and the
third is $50. The veined marble brings
on the first quality $50, and the second
quality $50. Violet-hued marble brings
$40 to 800 per square metre. These are
the ordinary tariffs, and on them the
profits are absurdly high before the
marble leaves the quarry. In some IN
stances l have known tirst-class statuary
blocks to be rated at $4,000 each, regard
less Of market rates.

Politics and Prunes.


Last Friday morning five candidates for
the United States Senatorship breakfasted
at the same table in the Leland Hotel at
Springfield. To the casual observer they
presented a beautiful picture. Such
quiet. such harmony, such peaceful dlgn-
ity never before had been witnessed.
Could it be possible tat these i've gentle
men were sworn and deadly enemies, that
from this friendly matin meal they were

Yillify each other to their constituents:
All was serenity till the waiter asked
William X. Morrison if he would have
some of the stewed prunes. At this Col.
Morrison flushed and replied that he
would not.
Ear be it from me-" said Col. Morrison
angrily, "to encourage a foreign fruit
upon which a high protective tariff of 21z
cents per pound is assessed"
s.Can it be possible, my dear SIR" in
o,Iired Carter Harrison, ''that you favor
an abolition Of the tariff on prunes: DO
YOU desire to see our fair State flooded
with this product OF the insolent and
efTete monarchies of foreign climes
What sir-What, l inquire, would your

dious and enervatIng vegetable into COM
petition with the pawpaW, the gooseberry,
the turnip. the cabbage, the black haw,

Then Judge Josh Allen, Gen. Logan
and Gen. Black pitched in and there was
a big row, during which waiter tipped
over dish of prunces in Blacks lap
With many mutterings the candidates
left the table and retired to their apart
ments.

Suspended Animation.

Men have made strange pets in their
time. Mr.. Jabez HOgg keeps some Of the
strangest in the form OF a few OF the in
fusoria called "wheel-animalcules. !"
These rOtifers have many curious quail
ties, among which is that Of suspending
animation for an indefinate period with
out ceasing to live. Colonies of rotifers
NAV be "desiccated" and rendered ap-
parently lifeless; and in this condition
they may be kept for months and years,
and possibly centuries. A single drop OF
water will restore them to life, and the
wheel-bearers will instantly resume their
functional activity precisely al the point

JOHN BROWNS collie.
How DIR. Marshall was Made to Take a
Long Journey.

Since John Browns name recurs so
often in writing about the royal family,
writes G. w. Smalley from London to the
Nelg York Tribune, L may repeat in pass
ing the story brought freshly to mind by
the recent death of DR.. Marshall. That
excellent man held the post Of physician
in-0rdinary TO the Queen. The office IS
one which required him TO be always on
duty and always within call. After many
wears of unbroken service he was allowed
a vacation the year the Queen went to
BayenO, and occupied Mr.. Henley's villa,
on the shores of LagO MaggiOre. She
took with her Sir William Jenner, who
has long been her extraordinary or con-
sultirg physician. John Brown. OfcOurse,
was Of the party. Not long after they
arrived John was attacked by some all
ment, which was, believe, painful, but,
to the medical mind, trivial. RumOr,
concerning herself as she does with the
slightest matters relating to great people,
said that John had the collie. Whatever
it was, John was not satisfied with tie
services of the first physician in England.
He had 10 confidence in Sir William Jen-
ner. His faith in medicine was given to
Dr.. Marshall. and to him alone. He in
sisted that DR.. Marshall should be sent
for. and sent for the poor man was, 10y
telegraph, and had to abandon his hard
won holiday and journey across Europe
at the bidding of this Highland gillie,
whose chief complaint was whisky. He
made the Journey AMI arrived only TO find
John Brown well again, and to be abused
for not having come more quickly.

Hidden Treasure.

An expedition is about to start from the
TYNE. saws the London Telegraph, in
search of supposed hidden treasure. The
primary mover is an inhabitant Of South
Shields, who as bOOkkeeper and cashier
has for many years been N large steam
ship owners office on the quayside. A
ships captain who has traded to the
TYNE for some years was the first person
to obtain the plans and papers relating 70
the hidden treasure from an sold salt
who was i'll and living IN poor clrcum-
stances, and consented to hand over the
documents on receipt of pecuniary relief.
He had seen the wealth carefully hidden,
and, in fact, was IN his younger days one
of the pirates who plundered the vessel
from which it was taken. The papers
remained in possession OF the captain for
some time. during which he endeavored
to get a vessel bound in the direction of
the island to call and inspect the place.
He succeeded at last in persuadlng the
owner of a ship bound for Rio Janeiro to
allow the captain to call at the island of
Trinidad, which is situated 30 miles
south of Rio JaneirO, on. the Brazilian
coast, where the wealth is hidden. If, on
reaching the island, an inspection OF the
spot be satisfactory, means Will be used
20 get at the treasure without delay, but
should the enterprise on the island be a
failure, then the ship will proceed to Cape
Town, where the Goals Will be sold and
discharged. and where, it is expected, q
hOmeward charter will be secured, sc
that the loss on the yenture,it is expected
will not be great.

AN EDITOR AT THE CASE"
How the ssThunderer's'' Guardian Genius
Made a Great Beat

Made a Great Beat.
1t is related Of the second Mr.. Walter,
Of the London Times, that in the spring OF
1888, shortly after his return to Parlia-
ment as member for Berkshire, he was at
the Times office one day when an express
arrived from Paris bringing the speech of
the King of the French on the opening Of
the Chambers. The express arrived at 10
a. M. after the days impression OF the
paper had been published and the editors
and compOsitors had left the office. 1t
was important that the speech should be
published at once. and Mr.. Walter lmme-
diately set to work upon it.
He first translated the document; then,
assisted by one composition, he took his
place at the type case and set 1t up. 10
the amazement Of one of the stan who
dropped in about noon, he found Mr..
Walter, NJ. p, for Berks, working III his
shirt sleeves" The speech was set and
Drinted. and the second edition was in the
city by l O'Clock. Had he not turned
TO" as he did, the whole expense Of the
EXPRESS service would have been lost.
And it is probable that there was not
another man in the whole establishment
who could have performed the double
work-intellecual and physical-which
he had that day executed with his Swn
head and hands.
