In the picture here given are illustrated
some trained sea lions at the geological
gardens at London. 1t is amusing to see
sea lion seated in chair on the stage
right in the center of the pond, catching
the fish which the keeper throws to him,
OF leaping off the high stage into the water.
His swimming powers are wonderful, and
he pops his head out of the water every
now and then, as he swims round and round
watching the movements of his keeper.
These sea lions are very tame, and they let
the visitors stroke them without the slight
est fear

There was a wooden legged sailor.
Who thought that he should make good tailor;
But his new noisy pegs
Wouldn't Cross like true legs
Which grieved that poor wooden legged sailor.

The Strange Mode of Installing . New
 Chief
 Yet new phases of African life and custom are described in the diary of a journey from Bihc tO the BGkuba coun- try of the eminent Portuguese trader, Silva Porto. The Kiboko or KaShokO, when their chief dies, either return to their relatives or build themselves a new village. The new chief also builds a new village, and receives a maa or q woman from each of his sub-chiefs as a contribution toward peopling it. The lalIanO, or bracelet. bestowed as . sym bOl of power upon one of the chiefs by his superior for faithful service. is made of brass or copper, interwoven with the sincws of a human being who has been sacrificed on some specially solemn oc- casiOn. It is covered with the skin of an antelope and has charms attached to it. If the holder of this emblem loses the favor of his fculal lord, a mcsscn- ger bearing a similar bracelet, but of smaller size, and a twc-edged knife. is sent to him and the disgraced chief and bis brothers and wives usually with him-quictly submits to dccapitation. A curious custom called shikay andando, is observed by the Bakuba in conclud- ing bargain. An offer having been made and accepted. the vCndcr pluclIs a leaf and presents it to the intending purchaser. who taking hold of il cuts it aSunder, when the two pleceS are thrown behind If this mode of con irming a bargain is neglected, the ven fer can claim double the value of the merchandise ia question.

The Delicate Ware Owes Its Existence to Ace.debt-
 The first hard porcelain made in Europe-for majolica. Pafissy ware, and other of the sort are pottery, and not porcclain-waS the lovely Dresden ware; and in that line nothing has ever been made to exceed its beauty. Its flowers, its ribbons and ornaments, arc perfection in design and color; there Is a rumor that real lace is put into the clay before firing for the parts repre- senting lace, but how that may be we do not know. II owes its existence to an accident, says IIarper's Bazar. The chemist, who had been imprisoned by the eleetor in order to find the secret of making gold and of the elixir of life, having come across some substance re- sembling porcelain in the bottom of a crucible, was unable to get it of a pure tint, till rider one day found a peculiar white clay on his horses hoofs, which he had dried and sifted and sold for hair-powder, and the unfortunate chemist, using i; and observing its weight, experimented with it, and straightway the great Dresden ware or Meissen, as it is more correctlv called became success. the Srst sculptOrS and eolorists of the day lending their art to its perfection. Cruelty, or rather tyranny. has often attended nn Dresden china; for Frederick the Great, having sent great quantities of this white earth to Berlin, took captive the best work CTS in the Meissen and sent them after it. never allowing them to sec home again: and presently he obliged the Jews in his dominion to buy the china he thns manufactured by refusing them marriage licenses til they had pro cured a service. thus gaining an i'm mense ar-Ial revenue.

The party which has been engaged the past two months surveying lands in Lower California has returned. The party surveyed Hardy's Colorado from it's source to its present mouth' and made several interesting discover ies during the tour.
 Fifteen of the most active volcanoes in the west group are almost entirely obliterated, the only sign Of the form ., location being lava like holes almost filled with sulphur water. The east group of 50O volcanoes at Lake Jniuiu have dsi'y eruptions, and to the s1uth group have been added at least i'o large volcano during the periods oi earthquake iH Js!y last.
 On the south hill where year ago no evidence of A volcano existed, the yrandest one in Lower California. the Chief, is in active operation. It's crs- ter opening is l4O feet in extent.

THE CRAZE OF 4 CAT.
1t Was Fond Of Being Run Over by th
 Horse Car..


 Horse Car..
 The joyial driver was speeding along one of the dark avenues where the clcc- l tric light is subducd considerably bv heayy-foliaged trees, says the Buffalo Express Just then a little fOx-terricr took 1t into his head to give chase to a black eat. which made straight for the strcct-car. and seemed bent on passing underneath it.
 "What became of that cat?' inquired one of the passengers, who wondered whether 1t was possible for member of the feline tribe to get ground to powder in this way and no sound to be heard
 ''It lodged and went from under again" replied another passenger who had been watching the movement
 Then it was the drivers opportunity to astonish the audience. He did so after this fashion. .'On my rounds on the East side there used to be a cat that would sit out in the middle of the track and allow the horses and ears to pass over her without budging an inch" What exclaimed an incredulous individual. do you mean to say that the same cat used to sit regularly in the street and allow the ear to pass over it without getting hurt?-'
 "Fact," replied the driver. ''Tbe cat seemed to have a craze for that sort of thing and wasn't 3 but afraid of the horses or caT.-
 This, if true, is as striking an evi- dence of the intelligent observation oi the horse as it would seem ;o be a proof of the lunaey of this particular cat.

It is a Peeuliarity of many German
 oarbers that their personal friends are also their customers. and certain amount of neighborly gossip follows thei! entrance and proceeds their exit, to the delay of strangers in the chair. An exaspcrated gentleman whose chin had been rubbed by the lathered fingers of smiling barber who was gossiping over his head with friend. suddenly sat up in his chair and told the surprised operator that he would eheerfully pay him quarter for a shave every time if he would keep his hands of his chin ex- cept when holding the razor. It is the relief of many victims that if shop will set up in the shaving business with the understanding that a customers chin shall not be rubbed into a state of irritated tenderness by hard and bony hand. under the absurd plea that the proress softens the crop of bristIes. it will be crowded with happy customers

the following preamble and resolution
We're adopted:
WHEREAS, The property of the State
IN the dam at Folsom State Prison is seri-
ously endangered by the amount of debris
deposited in the American River and its
tributary streams, and is threatened with
still greater injury if deposits of sand
and mining debris are permitted to be
made in the future III the waters of said
river, all OF which must pass through the
State Power House, injuring and destroy
ing its machinery; and. whereas, the
State has invested III such work and the
waterpower to be obtained therefrom, a
vast amout of prison labor and large
sum OF money, the benefit of which will
be greatly decreased. if its entire value be
not destroyed. if the filing in of the river
above the dam is permitted to be contin-
ued
ReSolUed. That the State Board of Prison
Directors do hereby request the Attorney
General to commence an action in the

A Query from Folsom.

FOLSOM, July 18th.
EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: As one of your
subscribers in this city of the foothills,
wish to ask you for little information.
Is the j. q. MARITIME who is President of
your Open-air Concert Committee a son
of General y. g. MARITIME of Sutter Fort
fame? or, what relation are they, ii any :?
and further, did General j. q. MARITIME
come out to this coast with General SUIT
ter?
have wager with young lady of
Mormon Island on the subject, and
trust you will give the required informa-
ton. JERUSHA JANE MCPHERSON.
ANs.-While it is true that there is a
strong family resemblance, the one is not
the father Of the other-they are one and
indivisible-there is but one General J..
G. MARITIME, but the community would be
better off if men of his public spirit and
enthusiasm in local affairs were more
numerous. No, General MARITIME did not
come here with General Sutter. He is
not gray-haired pioneer. He is a young
and handsome gentleman. and received
his military title by having been ap-
pointed by Governor Irwin as Brigadier-
General of the Fifth Brigade. He is not
a back number, by any means, but a
progressive, wide-awake citizen.
