under similar circumstances a couple of
years since, sadder but wiser. 1t might
be well for those who are contemplating
such change of location to study the
situation before taking a step which
they might afterward regret. There is
a good time coming for the faithful, and
the good news which comes across the
SET would indicate that it is almost here.
In the adjacent hence there will come a
tumult in this sombre and quiescent
region, in comparison with which the
excitement of a new railroad camp
would pale, and lose itself in the sha-
dow of its own insignificance There is
an era Of tin prosperity in store for the
pioneer city, now fairly in sight, which
pending the prolonged period of its
duration will be marked with higher
blessings and happier features than any
Wyoming camp can ever know. Let US
at least stop and think before we leap.

Burlington.

This is the name chosen for the new
town, which presumably is to assume
about the same relation to the B. & NJ.
emporium soon to be established on the
line of their road near the coal camp,
that purgatory bears to paradise
a point where departed pilgrims from
Custer, and other neighboring towns,
will congregate and dwell for a time in
a hopeful state OF expectancy pending
the coming establishment Of the new
Jerusalem. Already much anxiety is
manifest among our citizens, and it is
fair to suppose that this place will fur
nish her full quota of pilgrims to the
portable mecca so soon to be establish
ed near the carboniferous banks of the
Beaver. 1t is possible that some Of
these pilgrims may strike oil, vet we can
not refrain from the expression of the
opinion that some will return TO their
first love, as many did from Buffalo Gap.

Blind Fish.

Professor Kay Lancaster accounts for the
absence of eyes in the fishes in the famous
underground Kentucky caves in the fol-
lowing way: A great flood carries to the
Kentucky caves, some thirty miles below
the surface, a number of fish, among
whose numerous offspring will be some
defective in sight, as some babies are born
blind, or without eyes at al. The fish
who can see some faint glimmerings of
light will swim away toward that light,
while those will remain that cannot per-
ceive the CLEANS. This with every sue
ceeding generation would occur, the
stronger in sight swimming away and the
weaker remaining, and as the breeding
would therefore occur between those of
the worst sight, fish would be born with
weaker eyes and weaker until born blind.
The Professor also accounted for the
white patch on rabbits tails. He ex-
planned that as rabbits are gregarious
animals, signaling is of great advantage
to them, and that the white patch so con-
spicuous against the darker fur of the rest
of the body is of use as signal. Hares,
on the other hand, being solitary animals,
do not st;,d in need OF 4 signal. Hence,
the tail of the hare is not conspicuous in
its color.-Scientitc american.

Alter che lovelorn raidens and the
romping children have retired, the gen.
tlemen disappear from the hotels. They
steer for one or two high rings OF Lights
that seem to hang in the air, so high are
thew above all else at Long Branch.
Beneath the domes wherein these Lights
are hung are spacious circular rooms ez-
travagantly furnished and beautiful to
look upon. Sometimes it is expensive to
look upon them when the ball goes round,
for they are gambling rooms. The rooms
are attractive and are visited nightly by
hundreds of men, not all of whom are
by any means professional gamblers.
They are the centers of life after ten
o'clock, and remain so until the circles
of light above them pale in the growing
morn. The frequenters are mostly busi-
ness men, who never enter gam
bling house in the city, but who feel
little wicked when away for the summer.
They seldom play beyond certain limit,
although now and then one loses his heao
and consequently his cash in an attempt
to break the bank. A very generous and
we'll served supper is provided every
night and it is quite the thing, even tor
men who don't gamble to drop in about
that hour to lounge about and watch the
play. Women when they go the seashore
10 not leave their curiosity at home.

Just as much as long one. I overheard
a young man arguing with hackman the
other day about his bill. The price
seemed little steep Until the hackman
explained why he charged so much.
"My carriages all come from New
York." said he, s'and before I can run
them have to pay s17 for q license fol
each one. This is the tax paid to the
town for three months business. In New
York we can get license for year for
50. Besides this have to pay the hotel
I serve $2750 a season for the privilege
of answering its calls. tell you there
is very little money in hacking in Long
Branch" The hackman depends largely
on the custom of transient visitors. Near
ly all of the permanent guests at the
hotels and the cottages bring their own
equipages. I noticed the other day on
the avenne quite number of well known
people behind their own horses.
Not to mention the Baroness Blanc
when writing about the driving on the
avenue would be leaving out one of the
best known whips at the Branch. The
Baroness is an expert in managing horses
either from the box in the saddle. For
years hers has been familiar figure,
mounted on a spirited steed and whizzing
along at rate that would make almost
any other woman faint to think of. This
season, however, the Baroness does not
appear on horseback. She drives span
of sorrels to a stylish victoria in the after
noon, but it is in the morning that she
appears in the little yellow blackboard
that is so familiar to people at the
Branch.
While the wealthy arc enjoying them
selves in their carriages the less fortunate
find plenty of amusement at the hotels
and cottages. Long Branch will never
be second Coney Island. It is too far
from New York, and the necessarily high
rates of transportation keep away to q
great extent the crowds that make West
Brighton SO lively. Yet the building of
the iron pier has encouraged the Sunday
pleasure seeker to come, and has made
that end of the Branch Q little like the
popular Long Island resort. The sausage
man can be seen now and then near the
pier, the carrousel is there, and while it
is quiet enough week days it is the liveli-
est spot for miles about at night and on
Sundays. w. NO.
It is remarkable thing that one sell
dom sees drunken man. This is true of
the whole region. The policemen tell me
that the crowds are remarkably well be-
haved and that arrests are seldom made.

Ocean Treasure Tr0ye.

The wreck of the English bark Md
way, which foundered in 1858. while
bound from London to Philadelphia with
cargo of tin, lead and spelter, worth
over $3.50, 900, has been located by the
Atlantic. and Gulf Wrecking Company,
off Cape Henlopen. The schooner j.
Howard Magee has landed at Philadel-
phia wharf consignment of various
metals from the Midway's cargo, which
has been brought to the surface by divers,
and although corroded by the action Of
salt water the entire consignment was
sold at the highest market rates.
The discovery of the sunken wreck and
her valuable cargo was made acci-
dentally by divers of the wreckage COM
.pany. The divers were searching for the
wreck of schooner recently lost on the
Hen and Chickens shoals. While on the
bottom looking for the schooner tie
divers saw gEttering heaps of metal that
looked like great bars Of silver. They
were, in fact, the pigs of tin forming
part of the cargo of the long lost Midway.
These pigs of tin owing to peculiar
condition of the metal, were as bright
as they were on the day the bark went
down.
The wrecking company at once decided
to abandon it's search for the sunken
schooner and look out for the more val
liable prize. Only about 100 tons were
in the first consignment, but there are
hundreds of tons left, worth large for
tune, probably $15o,OOO which will be
recovered. 49,.
The Midway's cargo was consigned to
Penrose 6 Burton, old time Philadel-
phia ship brokers, who are long since
dead and have passed out of the public
yieH.-Me,o York M,ps.
