AN American who once lived at the
Sandwich Islands depended for his
news of the world upon the Sandwich
Island papers sent him. He was con-
sequently from three to six months be-
hind the times, and when he asked
about events of interest, few could tel
him. for they had forgotten all about
them by that time. DR.. Esmarch, of
Kiel, Germany, must get his news from
the Kamaschatka papers. He has
just written a medical paper to prove
that President Garfeld's life might
have been saved, had he been properly
treated. Has he yet heard that
Washington is dead and that the
doctors bled him too freely?

ENGLAND receives a heavy supply of
mutton from New Zealand. The
Australian tradelo mutton has col
lapsed by reason of low prices. The
River Plate mutton is generally in
ferior to the New Zealand article, but
is bought at low prices. The River
Plate hcck owners are making a great
improvement in the breeding of their
sheep, so they hope for better prices.
Large cargoes of mutton from that
source have sold at higher prices than
prevailed in 1885, though the cessa-
ton of the Australian supply has
chiefly conduced to this result.

serted mining shaft and, judging from
the growth OF brush and pines upon the
dump, decl ed that it was the work.

ed up few specimens of the ore and
took them to some old prospectors.
The next day horn spoon was pro-
cured, the place was again sought and
great many tests were made of the ore
on the dump, and down the shaft as far
as the water would permit. 1t all
showed free rock, sixty cents being
taken from five pounds OF rock, Kett-
