An American Buddhist in Japan.

Col. Olcott is said to have created q
veritable furore in his recent Buddhistic
tour through Japan. At first some of
the Buddhist priests gave him the cold
shoulder. Then he began to excite pop
ular interest, which was intensified as
he went through the larger provincial
towns. At Nagoya, large commercial
town between Toxic and Kioto, he had
audiences at each lecture of about 1000
people, and it is said that the widest
applause everywhere greets his declara-
tions that the closest relationship exists
between the stable progress of the nation
and the maintenance Of true Buddhism.
The Buddhists who control his tour, see-
ing the effect he is producing. are hur-
rying him about, so that he is delivering
orations and lectures in three or four
different places in the same day. He
does not speak a word of Japanese, and
his lectures are therefore delivered in
English and translated on the platform
by an interpreter, sentence by sentence,
as he goes along. Yet he arouses great
enthusiasm. Not only the common peo-
pie hear him, but also the high officials.
In many of the large towns through
which he passed special meetings were
held at times suitable to officials, at
which they were alone present.-Home

On Aug. 4, 1885, Charles E. Burnes
and Nathan Hubbard left Linkville, Ore,
on prospecting tour to find the "Lost
Cabin" in the mountains. For years the
Lost Cabin has been one of the tradi-
tions of that section, and many a search
has been made for it and the gold that is
supposed to be waiting for the finder.
Nothing was again heard of the two
men until few weeks ago, when cat
tie herder found their camp and their
skeletons in dense wilderness near Dia-
mond lake, fifty miles from Fort Kla-
math. The skeletons were found near
together, wrapped in their blankets and
clothed. Their guns stood against tree
near by. A small sum of money was in
one of the mems pockets, and watch,
SO that it seemed certain that they had
not been murdered and robbed. A diary
and a postal card addressed to Burnes'
mother served to identify them. The
diary was carried to Aug. 81, 1885, so
the men had been dead nearly three
years. But how they died will probably
be one Of the mysteries of the Diamond
Lake region.-Chicago Herald.

ne caansh Bani,..


Wide publicity has bean given lately
to the reported discovery by the United
States fish commissioner steamer Alba
tross Of the extensive codfshing banks
of San Diego. The journals Of the
southern coast towns have been much
impressed with the importance Of the
discovery, and have had much TO say
about 1t. Old fishermen, who know well
the habits Of the cod, have been 10th to
believe that the fish could be found in
any great numbers in such warm water
and such an exposed position as desig-
mated, in the region of st. Nicholas ISL
and. Evidently there is something wrong
about the announcement AS far as the
banks and shoals are concerned, these
discoveries" have been marked on
coast survey charts for the past thirty
five years. The coast survey vessels
have often sounded in the locality men,
toned, and there has been more or less
fishing done by them, but never has
there been any cod found The currents
there are very strong, and any vessel of
size can remain near the banks only
with much difficulty. That the reported
cod banks near Cape Lookout, on the
upper coast, will prove of value is con-
sidered very likely, for there are many
of the surroundings that fishermen con-
slider most favorable to the cod.-San
Francisco Bulletin.

The Texas Law on Prize Fighting.

The sports of the angular Saxons do
not square with the rounded ways of
the Castilians and their followers in
Spanish America. The natives of those
countries had neither bulls nor chickens
to fight on the coming of Europeans,
but they took to the bull ring and the
cockpit like ducks to water. These
sports are patronized there by all classes
and ranks of people. Even the Napoleon
of the west, Santa Anna, to overcome
whom in Texas was the work of man
born to no common destiny, beguiled the
tedium Of his exile by keeping cockpit
in Havana. The benighted people of
Mexico know nothing of and care moth
ing for the Marquis of Queensberry rules,
and offered no encouragement to the
scheme when El Paso wanted to get up
an exhibition Of the noble art of batter
ing the human countenance into jelly.
Neither do the people of Texas affect it;
but some one whose name should 60
sounding down the ages engineered a
law through the last legislature to legal
ize the practice. Who was it and who
voted for it?-Dallas News.

The Foot Of the Grand Canyon.

I went to the bottom of the Grand
canyon of the Colorado last winter and
am one Of the few men who ever at
tempted the descent. went there to
examine mine said to exist in the bot
tom of the canyon. have been all
through the Rockies from Montana to
Central America and know what a
chasm is, but the sight of that abyss
took my breath away. From the top to
the bottom it is full 5000 feet. Over a
mile below you can see the river tearing
through the gorge, but not sound can
be heard, it is so far away. From one
bank to the other it is apparently not
over a quarter of mile, but as matter
of fact it is fully nineteen miles. My
guide told me would never be able to
reach the bottom, but I was determined
to go and / went. It was a terrible
climb and it took us eight hours to reach
the bottom. It is certainly the most
desolate place in the world. There is no
living thing down there-no insects, rep
tiles nor animals of any kind. Every
thing is absolutely dead. The mining
prospect was worthless. Before the sun
was up the next morning we were on
our way out, and it took us until 10
o'clock that night to climb the wall of
the canyon.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Rushing in Where the Angels Stay Out.

Fruit Growing Out Of the Rocks.

A hardy apple tree, loaded with ripe,
luscious fruit, growing from the crevices
of rock, is curiosity which has at
tracted the attention of visitors to Fair
mount park through the Callowhill
street entrance this summer. The tree,
which is very large, shoots up from the
crevice Of the rocks blasted to form the
pool for the pumping at the Fairmount
water works.
The apples on the tree are the beauti-
full rosy checked, yellow variety, and
from their quality and size it would ap-
pear that there was some rich source of
sustenance, though none is visible from
any point of view, the roots being plain
ly seen clinging to the rocky walls,
shooting in one crevice and out of an
other. Hundreds of small boys try, day
after day, to procure specimens of the
fruit, but the isolated position of the
tree has thus far saved it from their
raids.-Philadelp Times.

Capture OF Child That Was Stolen an,
Reared By q Wolf

Capture Of . Child That Was Stolen and
Reared By q Wolf
Some twenty months ago . woman
living on the banks of the BTazos missed
her 8 months old baby from the pallet
where shs had left it lying during an
absence OF few minutes. Search was
made for the infant, but notrace Of it
could be discovered, and the whole affair
was wrapped in profound mystery until
few days ago. A party Of gentlemen
were riding through somewhat unfre-
quented portion Of the thick woods that
border the river, when they were start
led by seeing strange object run across
the road. Thinking at first sight that
it was wild animal, several Of the
party were about to fire on it, when the
one who had been nearest to it called to
them not to shoot, but to ride it down
instead. This was done with difficulty,
for the underbrush was thick, but at last
the creature was overtaken in dense
copse. 1t was half running, half leap
ing, first on all fours and then nearly
upright.
The gentlemen dismounted and at
tempted to lay hands upon it, but chat
tering frightfully and savagely biting
and scratching, it broke away from them.
They could see that it had human face,
though the brown body was covered
with long, tangled hair, and the nails of
the feet and hands so long and curved as
to be claws. It ran with incredible
swiftness, getting over fallen trees and
dense masses of creepers at rate that
obliged its pursuers to exert themselves
to the utmost to keep it in view. 1t fin
ally ran into an immense oak tree that
lay uprooted in the ground, and the
hollow trunk Of which formed a yawn-
ing cavern. By the dint of poking in
the tree with sticks the party succeeded
in driving out an old wolf, which imme-
diately took to its heels. Itwas not pur-
sued, as it was not the object sought.
This, too, was finally dislodged and las
seed with lariat made Of hides. It
bit and scratched so fiercely that it was
thought advisable not to approach it, as
it was half dragged, half led home with
the lariat about its neck, bowling and
yelping like wolf.
The fact Of the negro woman's child
having disappeared was well known to
all, and it was decided that this must be
the child. The old wolf had evidently
stolen it and for some reason adopted it
as its own. The mother declared that
this conjecture was correct, claiming
that her child had had malformation
of one ear, which popularity was found
in the monster. 1t is kept tied up in her
cabin, suffering no one to lay hands
upon it, and is fed on raw meat, as it
refuses to touch any other food. The
woman has hopes that she may yet re-
awaken the human in it, but in the
meantime she is reaping harvest from
the crowds who come daily from all
parts Of the country to inspect the
strange creature.-Sandy Point (Tex.)

An Ivy Plants Tory sympathies.

One who passes by the Old South
church these summer days will see a
curious sight. The English ivy which
has been slowly creeping over the front
Of the church through the last decade
now holds in its grasp the old structure
where Benjamin Franklin was baptized
and "the tea party" was organized. Inch
by inch its tendrils have felt their way
along its walls, until now the growth has
even dared to attempt to hide from view
the big, broad slab that marks the "dese-
Grafton" by the British. The little vine,
planted by American hands and fed with
American sunlight and rain, has basely
tried to cover up the tablet that marks
the rude acts of the English soldiery. It
seems case where the proper authori-
ties can interfere with much needed JUS
tice on the presumptuous, overreaching
