For some time private post has been in
operation in Berlin. 1t has been started, in
| opposition to the imperial post, for the collec-
| ton and delivery of letters, post cards and
| printed matter, and its raisOn DEERE is that
complaints are made by the trades people
! that suincient consideration is not shown by
! the State Department. The difference be-
| tween the ordinary postal rates and those of
| the private Adventures is very considerable,
and, SO far, the Berlin Packet Company,
| which is carrying on this service, has had de
! clded success. The postal authorities have
not yet moved in the matter.
| LEWIS NORRIS, of Virginia City, going
! home late at night, thought the light that
| came from window in certain house was
! caused by a conflagra ton. He stepped up,
| smashed the window, went in and was bnslly
at work putting out fire that had resulted
| from an exploited kerosene lamp, when a door
| opened and woman in white stepped into
| the room with big revolver levetled at Lew is
! head. Don't shootH' he roared Thunder
and lightning don't shoot! Can't you see Pm
| putting out this fire of yours?" The woman
didn't shoot, and Mr.. Morris, having extin-
| gulshed the flames, went home.
JOHN FLETCHER, of Virginia City, was
| awakened the other night by his mare, which
had been running in pasture with her colt.
| She came to the window and paved and
neighed. Fletcher tried to drive her away,
| but she wouldn't go. At length he noticed
| that the colt was not with her, and he fol-
| lowed the mare. She ran on ahead of him,
continually turning to see if he was coming,
| and thus led him to an old prospect hole into
which the colt had fallen. With the help of
nelGhbOrS the colt was rescued. and the
| mother, hitherto very shy, was almost frantic
| with delight. She followed Fletcher about,
rubbing her nose against his shoulder, and
gave unmistakabe signs of gratitude.

A CURIOUS CEREMONY, recalling to ones
mind the customs Of the middle ages, took
! place few days ago at Munich. King Lud-
wigs heart, which had been removed from
his body previous to the embalmment of the
| latter, was placed at the time in a magnificent
| sllver-gilt urn specially made for the purpose
| and flied with spirits of wine. On July =
| all the bells IN the city began to toll, flags
| were half masted, minute guns fred, and
shops closed, while the urn containing the i'll .
| lated monarch's heart, accompanied by an
| immense military escort, was borne in solemn
| procession through the streets to the Western
railway statlon' whence IL was conveyed by
special train to Alottirg, about half an hours
| ride by rail from the capital. On arrival
| there 1t was oonhded to the monks OF the
ancient monastery of the place, who have

FISHERMEN in and about New York harbor
complain OF the almost total disappearance
of the blue fish. Nothing of the kind, they
say, has ever before been known. Tuesday
| there were not one hundred blue fish in all
the New York markets. This singular dis
| appearance IS h. subject of much conjecture
but the general opinion is that the menhaden
steamers are largely responsible for it. A
| well known fish dealer in Fulton Market saws:
| These steam menhaden vessels 20 all over
the coast with their great purse nets catch
| ing everything, great and small, driving the
| bunkers out 10 sea and breaking up their
schools. | can see how this systematic break
ing up OF these menhaden schools, and the de-
| structlon OF millions of these fish, could have
| a very serious effect upon not only blue but
! all other tisn that swim close to oar coast
The blue fish is easily affected by ocal causes
| and he has simply been frightened away or
| deprived of his usual food"
The dress of a California country girl is
thus described: Such wild, weird, witchery of

MANY YEARS AGO when Commodore Van

| was laying the foundations of the vast for
tune he afterwards built up. ship containing
more than half a million dollars worth of
! specie was wrecked at the Horseshoe in the
! Indictment month of December. The valuable
cargo was consigned to well known bank in
| New York. The President of the bank went
down among the coasters and pilois
| and others in quest OF some one who wOuld

| bring 1t TO New York. Vanderbilt no nan

sea tempestuOus. but the Commodore said Inc
