a Postal Curiosity.

A curiously addressed letter lately
passed through the post Office at Mad
rid, which was dcciphcred and correctly
delivered, Notwithstanding all difficult
ties. The address was perfect rebus.
At the left hand side was the figure
Of n lady; it was clear, therefore, to
which sex the recipient should belong.
Over the lady's head the sun was rising,
hence her name was inferred to be Au-
rora. For her surname stood a hill,
with q castle Mt its foot, which gives us
"Montes y Castillo" Next comes the
town, for which the plan OF city was
drawn, on which the Alhambra was
legiblc. This indicated Granada, but,
in order to leave no doubt possible, a
pomcgranatc was drawn beside the plan.
TO complete the address number was
indicated in one of the streets of the
city plan. The postal authorities
took three days to study this
curiosity, and then triumphantly
delivered the letter to "Scnorita Aurora
Monies y Castillo; Azacayas, No. 20
Granada" and, so far from consuming
the sender, they had the envelope pho
tographcd and q copy printed in the
Madrid papers as proof of the intelli-
gencc OF the department.

AN ESSAY ON FLIES.
Some of tho characteristics OF tho Insect
Which DoileS Man.

Which Dofles Man.
The fly has some advantage over a
man. For instance, he has q pair Of
donble compound eyes, and with them
he can see i'll any direction or in all di-
rcctions ut once without for an instant
turning his head.
These eyes, says the Chicago Herald,
have four thousand distinct faces, and
all Of them have direct communication
with the brain, SO that if man comes
along on one side of him and 4 lump of
sugar on the other, he will be able to
watch both Of them and stay for the
sugar SO long as it is safe on account of
the man.
When he sees he can get one and
dodge the other, that is exactly what lie
does, and he docs not have to twist his
neck in two trying to keep track of the
opposite object
The fly is particular about the air he
breathcs. lie hasn't very big mouth,
and his lungs are small in proportion to
his body, but he is particular what he
puts into them.
Good green tea, such as the best of
the grocers sell for dollar, stepped
pretty strong and we'll swcctened, will
kill rs many flies as drink of it. And
they will drink of it as readily as
''coon" will play craps. 1t is estimated
that n pound of tea and two pounds of
sugar will rid room of flies within ten
days-that is, n small room.
Flies are voracious caters. They do
not care so much what they cat as when
they eat it. They arc particular about
regular meals. They do not cat long at
time nor much at Il time, but they eat
often.
Careful observers have stated that a
common house fly will cat forty-two
thousand two hundred square meals in
twelve hours. One female lily Will pro-
duce twenty thousand young ones in a
single day, and they will develop so rap
idly as to increase two hundred-fold in
weight in twcnty-four hours.
Scientists have never been able to tell
how fly walks on the ceiling; or, ratl,-
or, they have never been able to agree
about it. All Of them have told, but no
two are alike in their explanation. Some
say the fly has an air pump in each of
its numerous feet, and that he walks up
there by creating vacuum in his in
step and allowing the pressure of the
air to sustain him.
Others think he carries q minute bot
tie of mucilagc around with him and
lubricates his hoofs with it, so that he
can stay as long as he wants to on any
surface, no matter what the attraction
OF gravity may have to say about it.
Between these two schools of thought
you may take your choice.

MAHONE'S COMMITTEE
Causes No Surprise by Deciding Not to
Put Out Legislative Tickets

Causes No Surprise by Deciding Not to
Put Out Legislative Tickets.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 4.-[Speciall-
The action Of Mahonc's Republican State
committee in determining not to place
legislative candidates in the field this
year occasions no surprise here Ma
hone has nothing to lose by that or any
other course. Tho idea OF this policy,
Mahone's friends here say, is in the hope
of embarrassing the Democrats in coun-
ties where tho Alliance people make
nominations. In that case tho course
determined upon by Malone leaves his
people in position where they can, il
they see it, throw their strength to the
Alliance candidates
The indications, though, are that the
latter will not need any outside help in
getting a majority of the legislature
Even if this were not so, the Democrats
have not yet marked out their line Of
policy. 1t is not at all probable that
they will do so, but if the Democrats
were to adopt Mahone's course it will
leave the Alliance with clean, open
field.
1t is believed that President Polk, OF
the national body, may be present at
the Farmers Alliance convention on
the 18th OF August. Simpson, and no
doubt PETER, will be invited, if they
have not been already.

a Duck Story.

Sportsmcn are getting in their stories
In good season. The Richmond (Mo)
Democrat has the following: a hunter
got after gang Of didapcr ducks in tho
lake. These birds are said to be able to
dodge bullet. The hunter shot away
all his cartridges without hitting q
duck. When the didaper saw puff
of smoke from the gun they would dive
before the shot reached them. Tho
hunter was determined not to be out
done, so he lit n cigar and began to
pun as fast as he could In this way
he kept the ducks under water until he
drowned the entire flock.

TIE VERDICT.

The verdict of tho Jury that DR..
John A. p. Baker is guilty of murder
in the first degree was not surprise
In the result OF this case is an exhibit
ton OF the extent Of human sympathy.
While the ncighbors OF DR.. Baker be-
lieve him to be guilty OF the awful
crime of numbering his wife. iathis, the
darkest hour, they sympathize with
him and his family more deeply than
ever before.
IT is hardly probable that DR.. Baker
Will hang. No effort to save him from
the gallows will be spared lfthe court
OF last resort confirm the action OF the
lower courts, the Governor will be asked
to commute tho sentence TO life i'm
prisonmont, and ii is not unlikely that
sufficient influence can be brought to
bear upon tho Governor, on account Of
the sympathy for tho condemned man
and his family, to secure the commuta-
ton.
Or. bakers chances for liberty appear
TO be rather slim. 1t is said that should
he he granted another trial the prosecu-
ton will have a stronger case, moro
testimony having already been secured,
and the evidence already submitted is
likely to stand tho test in the higher
courts. II DR.. Baker is not guilty he is
the unfortunate victim of circumstances
thatare convincing to most men.

but he found therein some things to
tickle his sense of humor, and other
things at which he laughed that he
might not weep. One evening, while
going through Mott street.-The Chinese
Quarter-he heard n woman shriclting
in q cellar. Descending with his COM
panion, a policeman, he discovered a
Chinaman beating his white wife"
with broom handle.
''Shc vclly bad!" shouted the China
man, as the two Americans, prejudiced
against wifc-bcatinG, caught hold of his
arms, and released the woman.
"S'posc your wifce bad, you no lickec

Mr.. Rus.
'No, wouldn't; I'd never think of
striking woman" answered the Amer
lean.
The amazed Chinaman eyed him in
silence for moment, and then con-
temptuously answered:
"Then, guess, she lickcc YOU"
Going into aJoss-housc, he discovered
among the Chinese scrawls on the walls
the inscription, IN English letters: "Ia

from the trade dollar, and the priest
explained that the inscription was a
delicate compliment to the Mclean
