THE ISLAND Or NASSAU.
Some of the CuIiosities Worth Going to
See


Before leaving Nassau, however. there
are few objects or places of interest which
have come under my observations since nv
last letter. The first is Waterloo Place and
its wonde full phosphorescent lake. This
collection of brackish water. about half
mile square, embedded in cocoanut groves
and now possessed by an estimable Ameri-
can gentleman named Drysdale is situated
about two miles south of Nassau. The
house of the owner is always open to
American visitors; but the wonders of the
lake can only be seen when the night is
dark. On such a night l witnessed its
wonders. Four black rowers, aeitating the
waters as they went, bore me to and fro
over that little lake, and never shall for
get the bright, scintillating flashes which
every stroke of the oars threw around the
tiny boat in which | sat. The visitor to
Nassau who fails to see Waterloo will
have missed one of its most attractive Won
ders.
The next waters of interest on the island
are the Lakes of Killarney. The upper
and lower lakes forming one continuous
sheet OF salt water, surrounded by hills,
embedded in bitter oranges, cocoanut and
wild sea-grape groves TO the waters edge
are seven miles west of Nassau. about two
miles inward from the northern shore of
the Atlantic, and rise and fall with the
tide. The approach from the city is in
part through pine groves, sad blocking pal
mettos ana malarious swampS, which cause
the little pleasure-boats courteously await
ing visitors to rot unused at their moorings
Returning almost through the center of
the islands from the lakes, | was enabled
TO . a number of pineapple-fields and
some OF the wells bored down deep through
the rock by the early inhabitants in search
OF fresh water. They are now dry and
give birth to a wild tropical vegetation at
the bottom. There are still, however,
many wells having water in New Provi-
dence. But the theory is that inasmuch as
ii rises and falls with the tide the fresh wa
ter on the top is simply the rain which per-
colates through the rock and collects there
as in cistern.
The Queens Staircase IS the next and last
Bahaman object of interest to which / shall
refer. Ii stands at the end and abrupt terini-
non OF road or deep cut to the depth Of
sixty and the width of fifty feet through
the rocky surface, and brings the visitor
from the road below to the entrance of Fort
tlncastle. Whether the defile from which
the stairs ascend was intended for mill
tary road by V ch beleagured fortress
might have possible escape to the ocean,
Or quarry from which stone was sawed
to build the fortress, no record is on hand
to tell. But ii is there, and in a place like
Nassau the Queens Staircase is an object OF
interest TO every visitor who is not a dys-
peptic.-lCor. Cleveland Plain Dealer

Unspoiled by Honors.

Ii is a sad sight to see a man so pulled M
that he forgets his father was a cobbIer.
and cannot remember the faces of his old
neighbors and it is pleasant TO meet those
who, however honored or exalted, retain
the frankness and friendship of youth, and
remember auld lang syne." A writer
tells the following of one of the leaders of
Washington society who did not forget an
old neighbor:
At one of the receptions of Mrs. Senator
Gwynn, countryman was shown into her
parlor. He was constituent" and was
dazed by the lights, the crowd and the ele-
gance about him. He stood helpless and
awkward, fumbling with his hat and red
bandana. Mrs. Gwynn stepped forward,
held out both hands, and in her fresh,
clear voice, cried, after the old Kentucky
style:
Why, how do you do. and when did
you Gomez
Lord, child he answered, how'd you
know me? amt seen YOU sence you were
q little thing"
No." she answered, the last time you
saw me I was up to my elbows in soap
suds, washing my dress TO so TO picnic on
your farm
And she made much of the old man, in
Producing him as an old friend of mine, -
and making his visit one of the events of
his life, a thing to be talked about with bis
memories of Henry Clay and the Mexican
war

Important Strike in the Big runpe,.

II is gratifying 10 be able to report n nota-
bic event IN connection with the tunnel
operations at Middle Bar. This enterprise
mas been run over 800 feet, without m eet
ing with any ore worth speaking Of Small
seams have been cpt, but neither rich nor
extensive enough TO justify anv hopes of
reimbursing the owners for the vast sums
spent in making this hole in the ground
Latteriy the header has been in near prox-
unity 10 the point Immediately underneath
the works of the Mammoth mine where
the rich strike was made some two wears
ago. n noticeable change was observed in
the nature of the formation passed tbrough
The hard granite gave place to soft ma
terial mixed with slate and quartz. which
encouraged the belief that q rich strike
might be made at any time. Early this
week almost the entire face of the tn vol
entered quartz ard this quartz body ..,-
tanned seam OF that rich, black gold-bear-
ing metal identical in character with that
met with above. The seam is said to be
two feet in width IN the floor of the tun-
mel, and extends above and below the tun-
mel level. Over a ton of this metal had
been taken out up to Wednesday, and the
whole of ii placed i'll sacks Itshows Dlen-
;ilully of free gold and while the whole of
it is unquestionably rich We cannot ven
ture any opinion as 10 the value Of the ore
already extracted. THIS black metal is
very deceptive in its surrender OF precious
metal. Some of it may be one fourth gold
and again some similar in appearance NAV
yield comparatively little gold 1t is I'M
questionably true, however, that many
thousands of dollars have been already
taken out. The important truth demon
strated by this development is that the rich
ore seams of this district run deep Where
the strike has been made is 600 feet from
the surface, and over 400 from the upper
tunnel level. There is no room for doubt
that 1t is the same ore deposit which has
been worked above; and the conclusion is
irresistible that the vein runs the entire
distance between the two tunnels, and also
TO unknown depths below the big tunnel
With this fact conclusively proven, Middle
Bar mining district must rise in llewness
OF life. The development OF other promis-
ing claims will be pushed with renewed
vigor. 1t is by far the most important dis
coyery that has been made in quartz min
ing between jackson and the Mokelumne
river Amador Ledger

His teryent lips have kissed;
And DER her clear eyes as she stands
There comes happy mist.
What was her charm in form or face
Ger others at the ball
That he should do her such a grace
As choose her mid them all?
She casts her shining silks aside,
And robes her for her rest;
Her only dream till morning-tide.

He leaves the ball, but not for rest,
And not for faithful dream;

Where Lais reigns supreme.
Fill high the beaker with champagne,
And crown the board with flowrs:
a husband may not know again
such gay bohemian hours
Not his the love that lives for aye.
Not his the loyal troth;
Ills passion lasts a summer day.

AN EXTENSIVE EARTHouAKE-A CORE
spondent of the Eureka Sentinel writes
from Silver Peak, Esmeralda county, Ney.,
under date of April 18th. that another
severe shock of earthquake occurred at
Ida Valley, a few miles south of that
place, on the evening of the 18th The
vibrations were northeast and southwest.
Several minutes before the shock a dull
rumbling was heard, resembling very much
the sound of distant thunder and at 7:20 P.
NJ the shock was felt 1t lasted about So
seconds and was quite heavy, causing
the houses to rock back and forth,
and doing considerable damage to crock
cry and glassware The timepieces of
the place all came to standstill,
and women and children ran into the
streets, as if the day of final coming We're
at hand. 1t also caused caves in several of
the mines by the roofs falling and breaking
large timbers as if they were pipestems In
the vicinity of Ida the earth was constant
" troubled. resembling very much the great
earthquake of 1872 IN Inyo county. Cal,
which lasted for a long period. Several
springs have gone dry by the recent shock,
and, strange to say, it has not been felt any,
where north, but has extended as far south
as Death Valley and the Armagosa coun-
try. Indians recently arrived from the
Death Valley country describe it as being
quite heavy and causing large seams to
open for miles. Under no consideration
could one OF them be induced TO return.
