A WOnderful Fellow.

PROM the San Francisco PoSt.l
Lying" Jim Townsend is q noted
Bohemian in Nevada and well known
IN California. He is genial, convivial
soul, whose lies harm no one, but are
rather evidences of the abnormal de-
velopment OF the power of exaggera-
ton. He is credited in Nevada with
having been the originator of some OF
Mark Twain's best Jokes, including the
story OF a man who took a contract
to run q tunnel certain distance,
and having dug through the hill in less
distance than that specified in the
agreement completed his contract by
running the tunnel the rest of the way
on trestle-work
Jim was taking a stroll with q friend
and talking over old times, when he
asked:
"By the way, did you ever know"
"No, | think not"
"Well, sir, he was n wonderful fellow
the greatest mathematician that
ever lived. You could PROFOUND tie
most difficult problem in mathematics
to him, and he would give you the an
swer offhand at the snap of your fin
gers, while other people of reputation
in that line would use quire of paper
and a gross of ieadpencils, and take q
week to reach the same result Why,
| tell you what the fellow could do.
He could go into q graveyard and rub
his head against q tombstone and tell
you how much the corpse weighed
when it died"

surveying OYSTER Reds.

New York Cor. Baltimore Americana
By direction of Fish Commissioner
Blackboard, w. G. Ford, Jr, engineer,
formerly attached to the United States
coast survey, will shortly commence
the surveying OF the oyster-beds of the
state. Careful measurements are to
be taken, and when the work is COM
pleted every plot OF ground under wa
ter will be so positively defined on a
map that buoys and stakes may be
dispensed with. The field work will be
accomplished during the summer and
fall, and during the winter the maps
will be made. At the same time the
lines are being defined the depth OF
water, temperature, the diversity and
character of the bottom, will be
studied. When the work is completed
bill will be framed and presented to
the Legislature for action which will
give anyone whose grounds have been
surveyed the opportunity to obtain a
title to the same by the payment of 81
per acre, in conformity with the law
now in force in Connecticut. At the
present time the tenure of oyster
grounds in this state is rather held by
CuSoOlh e1uu hdDiC, duo disputes Dis TO
ownership are constant. When the
lines have been drawn and legal rights
to grounds are shown beyond chance
of dispute title will be given which
will be as valid as if granted for up
lands. Whenever natural oyster beds
are found, they being the property OF
the public, they will not be interfered
with. To those to whom titles are
given small yearly tax will be inn
posed to keep up the system.

Drunk on Talk.
from the Boston Budget.


The writer is acquainted with q
member OF the dramatic profession
who is q strict temperance man as far
as the imbibing of frewater is con-
cerned. He tastes not and handles
not. Nevertheless, he is often seen in
q state of exhilaration which the sus-
picious would certainly say was the
result of looking upon the wine when
it was red. When he finds himself in
a party OF friends who are partaking
OF Intoxicating beverages he drinks
nothing but water, but as the talk be-
comes animated and somewhat inco-
herent, he finds himself in the condi-
ton OF his fellows, and his utterances
are not whit more sober than theirs.
He actually gets tight on converse
ton. How would the prohibitionists
go to work to cure an evil of this kind

A Rare Rodent.

From the New Orleans Evening Chronicle,
yesterday an animal of the rodent,
family was found in a large bunch of
| bananas that was in a wagon. BELONG
| ing to Victor Longo, corner jackson
| and Annunciation Streets. 1t seems
that yesterday Mr.. Longo, who is a.
| fruit dealer, sent his driver with g.
wagon for fruit to the steamer S. Oteri.
lying at the First District wharf.
| IN the afternoon while unloading
the trult from the wagon he was sur
prlsed TO lind an animal about eight
| inches In length, and covered all over
with Its progeny. He Immediately
captured 1t and placed it in a bird
cage. On inquiry he ascertained that
1t Is OF q species known as a Banana
Rat" Its head is not unlike that of
rat, while the hind portion is like a.
kangaroo, and the tail like that of a
| possum, only that it is about seven
| inches long, with sort of knot at ev-
cry half inch. The hind legs are fully
three times longer than the front ones
The color is light brown back, while
along the spinal the color is a very
dark brown; the hair around the
eyes Is a beautiful and glossy black.
This animal was literally covered
with young, which chung ali over her
with q tenacity worthy of notice, the
head, body, tail and back being COW
| cred with the little ones. When taken
off they were counted and found to be
thlrty-tive in number. The back ia
covered with teats as we'll as the
breast from which the young suckle,
and when the banana rat" starts to
run the young Jump upon her and
hold fast.
The animal is curiosity and
worthy OF merton. None have ever
been seen in this city before, and they
are almost extinct even iR the various
(banana) Spanish Islands, where they
are supposed to originate.
They live at the bottom and some
times at the root of the banana tree,
and feed on nothing but the fruit. 1t
ssaid they grow in some of the islands
to the size of q cat.

The Danger of Spring Locks.

ltrom the Minneapolis h0uSekeeper.
There is one exceedingly dangerous
thing permitted in the building and re-
pairing OF houses every day, and that
is the use of snap locks or spring
catches on small closet doors, which
are still large enough to permit the en-
trance of little child. Children in
their play are always creeping into
such places; and if the door closes with
spring catch, there is no way for
them to get out, if they happen to be
beyond the hearing of others. An or
binary close closet or cupboard con-
tains only air enough to support life q
very short time. We know of an in
stance that occurred several years
ago, but which is likely to be repeated
any day, wherein three little children
lost their lives in this way. The par
ents had gone away visiting, leaving

Gray the credit of saying that he came at

Burton. and never quit attending her till
long after she was out of danger; though |
could see, by the cold and distant way that
he treated Polly and me, that he had heard
the rascally stories that were afloat about
us. and believed them. He said that Miss
Burton was threatened with brain fever.
and must be carefully nursed or she would
never get well. Ny wife was too feeble to
take care of her alone; who could | get to
help her? Aye-who would come to that
house which everybody stunned? | had
