Pizarro Exhumed.

An interesting ceremony took place
the other day in the Cathedral in Lima,
Peru. The body of Captain General
Francisco Pizarro, the conqueror of
Peru, which had lain for two hundred
years in the crypt beneath the grand al
tar, was removed to q stone sarcophagu:
in the chapel of the viceroys, part OF
the Cathedral. A large concoursc of
people were present, and addresses were
delivered by the Alcalde, the Minister Of
Spain, Bishop Tovar and others.
The body has stood the ravagcs Of
time exceedingly we'll, but this is ex-
planned by the fact that for the first fifty
years it was buried in the earth, and the
presence of nitre in the soil prevents de-
cay. The skull had been detatchcd from
the body, the fingers and toes had been
removed, presumably by relic hunters, and
the softer parts of the body and head were
all consumed, but the skin had hardened
and shrunk closely around the ribs and
the bones of the arms aud legs, leaving
the remains in mummified condition.
A council of physicians made q
thorough examination of the body and
located distinctly the wound in the head
which caused death, besides the severe
injuries in the arm and side. Before it
was placed in the sarcophagus the skull
was put in place by means of wires and
the body covered with several coats OF
thick varnish to prevent further decay.
On the 26th of June, 1871, the con-
queror was slain by company of con-
| spirators in the building now known as
the palace, and this day was the 35Oth
anniversary of the event.
When your correspondent looked upon
the withered remains of one of the great.
est characters in modern history, and re-
Elected that Pizarro was contemporary
of Columbus, and that he died nearly q
century before the Pilgrims landed at
Plymouth Rock or the English settled
jamestown, Virginia, he realized some
thing of the antiquity of the Spanish
civilization in South America. York

Macaroni is very peculiar product OF
wheat, formerly made only in Italy. and
still popularity regarded as distinguished
diet of the natives of that country.
The name is now applied only to the
larger pipes, and the smaller ones aro
known as vermicelli, though there is no
real difference between the two except
the size of the tubes. The wheat is
ground, with the use of heat and mois-
ture, into sort of meal or paste called
semola, from which the bran is ex-
cluded. This meal Is made into q
dough, with water, and is forced
Though gauges, from which it cmerges
as .macaroni or vermicelli, the process re-
sembling that of lead pipe drawing.
Special varieties of wheat, those contain
ing the largest proportion of gluten,
are demanded for the successful manu-.
facture of maoaroni.-Fa Farm and F;resids.

l@"Iwill ask you to rcmatn here until i
return" said the General to the mer-
chant. Quitting tho room, descending
the stairs to the street and getting into
his drowsky he drove away. &
The suspense of the merchant was ter.
rible. He sat down bat in half a minute
rose again; walked the room; looked out
the window sat in another chair; once
more got up; went to the door; locked
out; saw no one, heard no one; but kept
hoping, wishing for n. solution to this
mysterious affair. Should the police Of
ticers keep the money and not even ac-
cuse the banker of blackmail or attemp-
ted extortion-there was only life Of
toll, poverty and disgrace before him.
He could never recover from the loss,
unless like the man who had robbed him
he entered upon career of crime.
In his desperation he began even to
contemplate it. He involuntarily looked
around the room to see if there was any
thing valuable or a place for concealing
anything valuable which he might lag
hands on by way of restitution. 1t was
bare official apartment with ordinary
chairs, long table and a writing cabinet
furnished with drawers apd pigeon-holes.
He stcalthily approached it aud carefully
opened the drawers. Two of the twelve
were locked. The rest contained only
official papers and documents. He had
several of his own keys in his pockets.
He tried them one after another in the
drawers. One of them turned the lock
in the upper drawer. 1t too was full of
papers. He took two or three of them
up and looked at them. They were re :
ports of various cases that had come I'M
der the supervision of the Police General.
On one of them was Endorsed the name
Of the richest noblenan in the empire.
A sudden but base thought struck the
desperate merchant; he would read it
and by means of the information cxtort
money from the nabob compromised in
it. But he hesitated; he fumbled the
little package, began opening it, then
stopped and tried to peer into its folds.
Suddenly the stopping of carriage in
the street below arrested him. 1t might
be the General. A door below Jared.
He thrust the papers back into the
drawer, and had barely time to lock it
again and seat himself at the window
when the Police General, striding ut
hot pace, entered the room.

A wonderful example of patience in
the Chinese is afforded by o consular re.
port dealing with the manufacture of
salt IN Central China. Holes about six
inches in diameter are bored in the rock
by means of primitive form of iron
drill, and sometimes period of forty
years elapses before the covered brine is
reached, so that the work is carried on
from one generation to another. During
this time the boring,as may be imagined,
goes down to an immense depth. When
brine is found it is drawn up in bamboo
tubes by rope working over large
drum turned by bullocks. The brine !.
,evaporated in iron caldrons, the heat be-
ing supplied by natural gas, which is
generally found in the vicinity of the
salt wells. NJ

complete electric batteries on either side
OF his head, constructed after the most
approved scientific principles. Each of
them consists of about 40 cells in the
shape of six-sided tubes placed side by
side. The walls of these cells are lined
with nerye tissue and each one is filled
with clear, trembling jelly. Precisely
how many yo!ts this duplex galvanic
apparatus is capable of administering has
never been determined, but frequent ex-
perience has shown the power to be suf-
ficientto knock down and temporarily
paralyze man. Natives in Central Am,
erica are said to make a practice of
driving wild horses into water where
cramp fish are, in order that the latter
may stun the frightened quadrapeds aud
make them easy to capture. So that a
shock shall be administered, the object
must be brought into contact at two
points with the torpedo, thus completing
the electric circuit. Scientific men re-
gard this as one OF the most interesting
Of natural phenomena. Two other kinds
oil animals possess galvanic batteries-a
catfish and an eel. The two latter have
the storage cells situated in their tails.
In all three cases the electricity is merely
transformed nervous energy. The oil of
the cramp fish is commonly believed to
be good for rhematism aud cramps.
"Saw fishes belong to, the order of
rays. although their bodies have the
shape of ordinary fishes. They swim
wholly with their tails aud the long
weapons which adorn their noses arc
merely prolongations of the snout, armed
on either side with teeth in sockets and
covered with rough skin OF great tough
ness. With this formidable instrument
they attack their prey, tearing pieces of
flesh from its body or ripping open the
abdomen to feed upon the intestincs of
the victim. There is something posi-
lively abnormal about all these creatures
called rays. They suggest the notion of
fishes nntediluvian and it is not surprising
to find many large and extinct species
among the fossils OF vanished epochs."

Career of Mexico's President

President Porpio Diaz, of Mexico, is a
remarkable man. His life reads like q
romance, and he has had many narrow
escapes. One time he was obliged to flee
to New Orleans, and in coming back he
took passage under an assumed name and
stayed in his room, pretending he was
seasick. There were q number of Next
can officers on board, and he thought
that they had discovered him. He knew
that his arrest meant death, and he
jumped overheard and tried to swim to
the shore, which was about ten miles
distant from the ship. He was seen and
rescued, and the captain thought he was
lunatic. He handed him over to the
purser, and this man, though he knew
he could make fifty thousand dollars re-
ward by turning him over to the soldiers,
refused to do so. He protected him
while on board, and struggled him ashore
as coal HEAVIER, whence he socn got to
his native State and to his army. Diaz
has proved himself an able general, and
no one can doubt his courage. He is
now sixty years old, but he does not
look to be over fifty Yankee Blade.

Am Illinois Pearl of prIce.

The pearl-hunting craze has been re-.
vived by the finding by MIR. James
MIawn, of Kappa, ILL.,, in mussel from
the Mackinaw River, the largest and
most perfect pearl ever taken from that
stream. 1t is as large as very large
pea, aud is perfectly globular, without a
flaw and of fine color. The find has
created much excitement and the banks
of the river are thronged with pearl
hunters. The Mackinaw is winding
stream, which is crossed by the Chicago
and Alton at Lexington and the Illinois
Central at that point and empties into
the Illinois below Pekin. A great many
pearls, some of quite good size, have
been found in it, especially near Kappa.
