A DEPRESSION at an Auction Sale.

l was idling away half an hour at an
auction of bankrupt stock in the dry goods
district the other morning when an excited
individual from the crowd of bidders went
up and said something in confidence to the
auctioneer. The latter raped on his desk
and announced:
Gentlemen: Mr.. Y. here has just dis
covered that he has lost his pocket-book.
1t contains money and valuable papers,
and he offers reward of 500 for it."
fat man with solemn face replied
promptly:
"a hundred and FIVE"
zone ten," called voice.
"Fifteen."
Twenty"
They had run it up to $500 when owner
of the pocket-book yelled:
Hold on! hold on! There's no profit in
that. There's only 800 in the pocket book
and the papers aren't negotiable.
Then the business of the sale was re-
sumed.-New York sun.

Bismarck,s Narrow Eseape,

An illustration how great issues may
depend upon insignificant incidents is fur
nished by passage in the career of Prince
Bismarck. About the year 1850 the regent
of the duchy of Anheit-Bernbourg re-
quested the Prussian government to name
several men from whom one might be
chosen for high state Office in the duchy.
The request was complied with, and
among the names was that of otto Won
Bismarck zu Schonhausen."
Bismarck and another were ordered to
present themselves ON certain day before
the regent for demonstration of their fit
ness for the position TO be filed. Both
travelled accordingly to the center of tho
duchy, but rs ill-luck or luck would have
IL, the axle of the carriage In which Bis
marck journeyed broke ON the way, and
he was compelled TO stay night with the
rest Of the passengers at the nearest town.
Next day he resumed his journey, but
he arrived twenty-four hours after the
time appointed for the interview In the
mean time his rival had the post. So Bir-
marck returned home, and in time became
imperial chancellor instead.-Pan Mall

Organs of Smell in Insects

In an extensive series of experiments by
Professor GRADER, insects and many other
invertebrates perceived odors much more
quickly and acutely than the vertebrates
tested birds and reptiles,) The antenne
proved to be not the only organs of smell
in insects although these seem to be es-
sential to the perception of some fine
odors. In some cases the palpi of the
mouth organs are more sensitive than the
antenne, but perception of smell through
the stigmata or respiratory organs is not
rapid nor important. - Arkansaw Tray

VI DlsTeEarulHS steep.
In persons of vigorous constitution the
habit of disregarding proper sleep, and the
insomnia which springs from it, may go on
for several years without any apparent
bad effect. In time, however, it is certain
to produce its natural consequences. The
first indications of danger are irritability
of mind and feverish excitement, followed
by depression, pallor, and deficiency of ap-
petite. These are succeeded by fits of un-
consciousness, in which the affected per-
son positively sleeps, and, it may be, sleeps
soundly, without himself knowing the
fact. In this way he gets rest, which, for
a little while may give certain measure of
relief; but soon the nervous failure in
creases, and one of two results succeeds.
He either falls into sleep which becomes
coma, and terminates in death, or ne
continues sleepless, unless artificially
made to sleep by narcotics, and with pro-
crossing failing powers sinks into paralysis,
to succumb from that affection. In ex-
ceptional cases the insomnia makes a fair
recovery. OF Diseases.

Smart hurried in.
"Ah, Miss Doublebass," he said, you
have The Advertiser, see. / hope your
father is satisfied with that think laid
IL on well. But look here, Doublebass,
this will amuse you. Here's old Boston,
of The Morning Cablegraph, been having
a fligh at ii. X. H., and sold himself
prettily. That shows you what musical
criticism is worth" AS he spoke, Mr..
Smart pointed with his finger to a passage
in the newspaper which he handed to Mr..
Doublebass. The latter read as follows:
"We are not aware whether the sym
phony' by H. X. H., the prince of Gotten
Penschen was intended as musical joke,
but, If So the point appeared to be missed
by the majority of the audience. The
work is apparently founded on series of
musc-hall and street melodies though the
subjects are worked up with an amount
of skill and technical resource for which
we should have hardly have given his
royal highness credit"
"WellY' said Mr.. Doublebass, handing
back the paper.
"Dont you think that n pretty piece of
impertinence" asked Smart
"On the contrary, am glad to find that
there is one musical critic in London who
knows what he If talking about"
"How so?" asked Smart.
"Well, | can tell you how" said Mr..
Doublebass "Look here, Mr.. Soapley
Smart, you made me one of the most in
sulting proposals that was ever made to
an artist or gentleman. You took me
for knave as well as a fool. 1t so hap
pened that | wanted money very badly,
and | thought saw way of being even
with you. See, here is the rough scheme

cious symphony. The principal subject
of the allegro, which reminds you so of
Beethoven, is Pop Goes the Weasel
thinly disguised in modern orchestration.
The theme of the Mendelssohnian adagio,
stripped of certain variations and the en-
bellishments, may be known to you under
the title Wait Till the Clouds Roll BY. ,
The scherzo and presto are founded re-
spectiyely upon these inspired melodies
Tiddy-fol-lol' and The Masher King
worked up with new matter and entirely
original orchestral effects. Now, who has
been made fool of, Mr.. Smart?"
Luckily for Mr. Doublebass Sir Boyler
Potts had been one of the few who had
discovered the real nature of the princes
symphony. Having keen appreciation
of joke, and being struck by the musical
merits of the composition, he had inquired
and learned from Soapley Smart the real
facts as to the authorship. Very shortly
after the concert. Sir Boyler found an op-
portunity of making Mr.. Doublebass' ac-
quaintaNce, with the result that the little
gentleman original symphony was soon
after performed in public and achieved a
success nearly as great and quite as genu-
inc as that of the prince of Gotten
Penschen.-London Truth.

OF IL, $40; is bounded on the south by Jackson
Josephine and Curry; on the west by Coos
county nd the Pacific ocean; on the north by
Lane coL.. y, and on the east by Lake and
Jackson counties. The county is 90 miles
from north TO south md 100 miles from east
to west, extreme points, and has an irregular
boundary line formed mainly by spurs OF the
Cascade range and by the Siuslaw river; The
county has an area Of 4, 900 square miles, or
2, zoo, 900 acres. OF this 5o3,S5o acres are
under cultivation, and ii is almost impossible
to estimate the area that can be placed under
cultivation. Competent judges estimate that
there is al least Soc, 900 acres still subject to
entry under the United States Land Laws,
some portion of which can be titled. There is
still over half of the county which IS not sur
veyed, much Of which ispracticallY unexplored.
OF that subject to entry about ten per cent can
he easily cultivated, but is not counted with
the tracts known as Railroad and Wagon road
grants, which embrace excellent land.
