Miner NNcKffn.

lfTOln tLe CnlcaSO deldluJ
 McKim is an honest Irish miner, who drift ed off from Arizona few years ago into Son. ora. He had little money, but great deal more faith. Benham says: ' should say here that every mine that has ever been worked in Sonora, or, indeed, anywhere else in Mexico, has it's early History recorded in the archives iii the district. Thus, if claim has laid idle for half a century, and one wants 70 get it's record, he has only to go to the prefect, or local authority of the district, and he is given access to the huge volumes that contain the information. MeKim got hold of claim that hadn't been worked for twenty years, and studied up it's history. He found that the last year it was worked it took three shifts of eight men each to pack the water out of the mine. He also found that the water increased so fast on them that the mine had to be abandoned, and from that he argued that it was by no means exhausted.
 "The problem then was to get the water out. But howa McKim had no money to put up pumps, but he did have & good deal of courage and strong arm. He went down the hill and resolved to tunnel for the mine to strike the ledge below the water pocket. Nearly five years ago McKim began work, and for long years he begged away at that tunnel. He had fully 600 feet to run. For about year McKim had brother Irish men to help him, but the latter got weary of the hopeless task, and for the remaining time McKim went 1t alone.
 About year ago he noticed that the face of his tunnel was in moist, crumbly ground, and he got fearful that it would tumble in CD him. He didn't go near the tunnel for sev- eral days, for he was afraid of it. One morn ing he went up and found the water run ming out of the tunnel ikea mill race. The water pocket had broken through and the tun- nelwas draining the old mine at the rate of l., | IL NEoTT L. L self with joy. In a week he explored the mine through the old workings, and he found almost bed of pure silver. Actually, he cut out cabinet specimens with ehisel. He sacks and ships the ore, and the little prop erty is turning out S100,000 year with no other labor than that of McKim and two Yaqui Indians. So much for patient industy and four years of faith and hard work.;'

CAPTAIN RADs, SCHEME.

Captain Eads great scheme for ship rail- road across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec does not look as prosperous as it did. Comman- der Crowninshield showed pretty conclusive ly that even according to Eads' own specif- cations he does not propose to carry and can not carry an ocean. steamer, coasting steamer, Pacific Mail steamer, or an ordi- nary grain-carrying vessel on his railroad, but only small third and fourth rate craft. And Admiral Ammen has also hit the scheme some hard blows. He believes it to be i'm practicable. The Isthmus of Tehuantepec is one hundred and ffty-four miles wide, and to cross it the railroad at one point must reach an altitude of seven hundred and ffty-fve feet above the level of the sea. Marshes also cover many miles of the route. As practical engineer he declares that even ordinary vessels with cargoes cannot be car ried over these grades and marshes without being weakened and substantially wrecked before they reach the other side.
 Admiral Ammen goes still farther and de- olares his belief that the scheme is not an honest one in that Eads is not intending to use his railroad for the transportation of ships. Under the provisions of the bill it is only necessary for him to carry loaded ves- sel weighing with her load four thousand tons, which is second or third rate craft, across the isthmus to get his subsidy. He is not obliged to carry more than one vessel in year to take his s56, ,250, ,0OO from ths Uni ted States and Mexico, and he can make his toll so high that not more than one vessel wouId come fo him in that tima Admiral Ammen boldly expresses his belief that all Eads intends to do is to build his road, get one small vessel across and thus, having full filled his contract, take his money and use the road thereafter for ordinary railroad pur- poses.
 I he New Orleans States mentions an ob- jection to the scheme which is worth consid- ering. It says: As soon the guarantee of the government is obtained the bonds will immediately possess a value and com mand price on the market, and in case the shlp-railroad is a failure the government will stand in the light of party to a speculating and impracticable scheme. And in view of the many raids now being made on the treas ury, if the Eads scheme should prove fail ure powerful lobby will beyond doubt be organized at Washington, and demand will be made on the government to pay the bonds on the ground that it had guaranteed them, and in this way millions of dollars would be taken from the national treasury.
 This is evidently matter into which the government should not hastily enter. The arguments against the scheme are thus far quite as good as those for it.

American English.

A very erroneous impression generally ex- ists in this country as to the manner in which the English language is spoken in the United States. This has risen in some de- gree from the circumstance that traveller, have dwelt upon and exaggerated such pe- culiarities of language as have come under their observation in various parts of the Union; but also in greater measure from the fact that in English novels and dramas in which an American fgures-no matter whether the character depicted be repre- sented man of good social position and presumably, fair education, or not-he is made to express himself in dialect happily com bining the peculiarities of speech of every section of the country from Maine to Texas.
 With the exception of the late Mir. An thony Trollope's American Senator" I cannot recall to mind single work of fiction in which this is not the case. Take, for in stance, those portions of Martin Chuzzle wit , the scenes of which are laid in the United States; Richard Fairfield in Bulwer's ':My Novel;" the colonel in Levers "One of Them;" Fullalove in Charles Reade's Every Hard Cash;" the younger Fenton in Yates "Black Sheep," or the American traveller in 'Mugby Junction'-in each and every in- stance the result is to convey most erro- neous idea as to the manner in which our common tongue is ordinarily spoken in the United States.
 It is the same on the stage The dialect in which Americans are usually made to ex- press themselves in English dramas is as incorrect and absurd was the language put into the mouths of their Irish characters by the playwrights of the early part of the 18th century.
 AS matter of fact the speech of educated Americans differs but little from that of the same class in Great Britain; while, as gards the great bulk of the people of the United States there can. be no question but that they speak purer and more idiomatic English than do the masses here. In every State of the Union the language of the in habitants can be understood without the slightest difficulty. This is more than can be said of the dialects of the peasantry in the various parts of England, these being in many instances perfectly unintelligible to stranger. Again, the fuency of expression and command of language possessed by Americans even in the humber ranks of life forms marked contrast to the poverty of speech of the same class in this country, where as an eminent philoIogist has declared very considerable proportion of the agri- cultural population habitually make use of yOnahnlery not eYceedinp ROO words

 Yokohama! It is curiously mixed up sort of seaboard city-a medley of all nations and all sorts of dress, ,undress, vehicles and architecture. Fine stores, good hotels, American, English, German, French, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese-broad streets, narrow streets, canals, vehicles of all kinds, wealth CT hot and enervating-a paradise of people of leisure. The Mecca of traders in curios and more staple goods. The natives are un- der-sized, brown-skinned, black-haired, frank and simple hammered people, who have absorbed tinge of foreign habits and GUS toms, and have sharp way of getting the ebest end of all kinds of bargains. In mat ters of dress they are much mixed, from the -fedged English costume to the half ma full -fledged English costume to the half na- tive, which is part or entirely naked truth. Children of the lowest classes seem to thrive in the costume of Eden, and too many grown up people of both sexes seem too much given to economy in the inter of raiment.

To Preserve Their Beauty,


 It is stated that well-known society yo- man of Baltimore, who preserves her beauty and freshness remarkably well, despite her many seasons pursuit of excitement in the social whirl, attributes her good fortune to the practice of drinking a small cup of luke warm water every day on leaving her couch. So strong is her faith in the efficacy of this remedy that it's omission is sure to cause de- pression and languor. In speaking of this few days ago well-known matron of Bal timore said: ''I have known many ladies to be equally devoted to some article which could not possibly have benefited them ex- cept through their imagination. One lady know has glass of toast water placed beside her bed by her maid every morning. Anoth- CT uses half teaspoonful of tincture of cin- chopa in goblet of water; still another takes pinch of table salt into her mouth before leaving bed. Lots of ladies resort to such common articles as oranges and lemons and apollinaris water, to cool plunge baths, but the most singular freak I ever heard of was that of a Philadelphia belle, who every morning regularly gargled her throat with soapsuds made of white castillo soap, which she believed was absolutely necessary to the preservation of her health"

L. St. Geo., ,' in The Pttsburg Dispatch
 am afraid the incident of the time when Adjutant- General Guthrie declined to drink with Governor Pattison is not as fresh as it might be, but it is good enough to risk, es- pecially as they both acknowledged it yester- day. It happened at the time the Governor elect sent for Colonel Guthrie to offer him the position of adjutant-general. He ten der4d him the position, and at the same time, so that they might compare views, proceed ed to give Colonel Guthrie his own notions of the needs of the service. Prominently he spoke of the prevalence of drinking among the officers, and the bad influence it must have on men. Suddenly, as though it had just occurred to him to be worth while to know before he went any further, he whirl- ed around in his famous revolving chair, with the question:
 .EBy the way, Colonel Guthrie, do you drink.'
 'Well, occasionally responded the tall colonel slowly. 'But don't care for any thing just now, thank you.n

 sent reporters to four houses in Boston a short time ago to ask how much money they had sold on Ireland during the month of December, and from the 1st of December to the 20th these four hou ses had sold over $100, 1000, in sums averaging $35. Now, in three weeks four houses in one city sold that much, ,and I can assure you that there is not city in the United States, not town or hamlet, whence that drain is not constantly going away to Ireland. It is going from the mills, from the farms, from the shops, from the servant girls. The only advantage from that terrible loss-a loss which must reach from $50, ,000, ,000 to $70, ,OOO, 900 a year, which is the lowest com putation you can put on it-the only value we have in return is in the devoted and af- fectionate natures that could spare from their earnings so much to their poor relatives in Ireland-for they sent it to save their people from eviction and starvation; not to make them happy and comfortable, but to pay the rents to the English aristo- crats, for whom England has legislated. The landlords have mortgage on the Irish in America through their affections.
