gentleman in his studio, took our leave
to hunt up that good old uncle Joseph
Huff, who has, we believe, served in
the capacity of Circuit Clerk for Iron
county quite thirty years. We there
found the old war boss at his desk with
that self-same-never-cra sort
of look, just as unconcerned as though
he hadn't had a campaign from the
DAY he was elected up till the present
time. And yet we fancy twill be an
other thirty years, should he live, be-
fore the Republicans could trot out a
man to succeed the venerable old Cir
cult Clerk. This being the terminus
of our route and the hour growing late,
we repaired to the restaurant kept by
that sure-enough hustler, John Blemel,
the man who never scratches his ticket,
where we were in just the condition to
do justice to an abundantly supplied
table, and the way we went for those
picked pigs feet twas a caution to be-
hold, our expansion had the circum-
ferencial proportions OF of hoggshead

was one other county official we intend

the matter over properly we came to
the conclusion that we had better hunt
a boarding, house that charges a little
something rather than impose on one
who runs strictly On the free-for-noth-
ing style and lodging thrown in. This
place, however, we gave wide berth
and made ourselves pretty scarce in
that locality, and, feeling somewhat
tired, wendell our way homsward very

Remarkable English,

Major General Patrick Maxwell, in an
article on how English is sometimes
mutilated by the smart baboo and the
intelligent foreigner, gives an example
taken from memoir Of the late Honor
able Justice Oonookul Chunder Mookerjee,
by Mohendro Nauth Mookerjee, his
nephew, printed at Calcutta. Describing
the grief Of the family on the death of his
uncle the author says, THE house pre-
sented a second Babel or pretty kettle of
fish" Further on, describing the career
Of the justice, he says, His first business
on making an income was to extricate his
family from the difficulties in which it
had been lately enwarped, and to restore
happiness and sunshine to those sweet and
well beloved faces on which he had not
seen the soft and fascinating beams of a
1mper for many a grim visaged year"
In another place, This was the first
time that we see pleader taking a seat
on the Bengal legislative council solely by
dint Of his own legal weapon; and he was
an au fait, and therefore undoubtedly a
transcendental lucre to the council"
Again, Justice Mookerjee very well I'M
derstood the boot Of his client, for which
he would carry logomachy as il his wheel
of fortune depended upon it. His elevation
created a catholic ravishment throughout
the domain" In touching sketch of the
Justices personal appearance the author
prettily observes, when boy he was fila
mentous, but gradually in the course of
time he became plump as apartridge."

Rock Salt I'm England.

The accumulation of extensive beds Of
rock salt must be attributed to the natural
process of evaporation beneath a torrid sun
in the Trias days, when series of salt
lagoons, communicating with the sea, were
dried up and incrusted with salt after the
fashion of many of the so called Australian
lakes Of the present age.
The cavities at the depth of 100 feet have
been caused by the dissolution of local
areas Of rock salt through the action of
percolating water from the higher level of
the Bunter sandstone. This accounts for
the great force with which the brine rises
when the stored supply is tapped, and the
subsistence of land corresponds very closely
with the extent Of the cavities from which
the salt has been evaporated. Droitwich
is situated exactly in this synclinal trough
of the Trias. and consequently there is
hardly a straight wall or chimney in the
lower town.-Gentleman's Magazine

If you ask that convenient fiction, the
Man in the Street, what sort Of plant a
cactus is he will probably tell you it is all
leaf and no stem and each Of the leaves
grows out of the last one. Whenever we
set up the Man in the Street, however, you
must have noticed we DO it in order 70
knock him down again like a ninepin next
moment, and this particular instance is nc
exception to the rule; for the truth is that
cactus is practically all stem and nc
leaves, what looks like leaf being really
a branch sticking out at an angle The
true leaves, if there are any, are reduced
to mere spines or prcl.les ON the surface,
while the branches in the prickly pear and
many of the ornamental dollhouse cac-
fuses are flattened out like leaf to per.
form folar functions.-Grant Allen in

According to DR.. Minot, of Boston, in
Massachusetts the general average Of life,
in persons over twenty, is nearly ffty-two
years The average among professional
men-ministers, lawyers and doctors-is
considerably higher than this; in the case
of clergymen sixty, or little more, and in
that Of lawyers and physicians about fifty
six and half years.
1t will be seen that physicians lose nearly
four years Of life, as compared with cler-
gymen. This can hardly be due to the
greater liability TO disease arising from
broken rest, irregular meals, bodily fatigue
and much responsibility, for the physi-
clans active life, much Of it outdoors,
and his special knowledge how to care for
himself must more than compensate for
such disadvantages.

made as safe as possible, but good many

Sudden Death of John a. Bostwick, a
Standard Oil Millionaire.
MAMARoNEcK, N. Y, Aug. ia fire
broke out shortly after midnight IN the
handsome stables of John A. Bostwick,
of the Standard Oil Company, at his
summer residence on Oriental Point,
overlooking Long Island Sound. The
fire departments Of the surrounding
villages hurried to the scene. when
they arrived, however. the Bostwlck
stables had not only been Quilted,
but the flames had communicated
to the stables OF Mr.. Constable, of Ar
mold, Constable & Co., Of New York.
After the fire had burned out 1t was
learned that Mr.. Bostwick's footman
and coachman were missing. They
were known to have been sleeping IN
their apartments on the second floor IN
the stable. An examination OF the
ruins were made as soon as possible,
and their charred bodies were found
among the debris.
Soon after the fire broke out MIR.

been in ill-health for some time, and
when he saw his stables on hre he sud-
denly fell backward and became uncon-

could reach him. Deatlris supposed to
have been caused by heart failure, pro-
duced by undue excitement. The body
was carried into his room, and the
greatest excitement prevailed III the
household. The nearest physicians " no
had been summoned arrived only TO be
of no service.
The dead mans coat Imam and foot
man went on boating trip yesterday
on the Sound and it is said that W hen
they returned to Mr.. Bostwick's place
last night they were both under the in
fiuence of liquor. 1t Is supposed that
the fire was started by one of the
two men carelessly smoking or handling
matches in the stable.
Eight valuable carriage horses and
number of carriages and carts were de
stroyed. The stables were completely
Quilted and nothing of the contents was
saved. The loss is estimated at $50 goo.
The Constable stables were also de-

The Buffalo Strike Extending.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 1.-THE West
Shore men will 90 out tonight. The
Buffalo, Rochester q Pittsburg men
have already gone out despite the fact
their terms were acceded to. At this
hour the firemen are housing the en-
gines in the round houses, and all hands
are idle in the yard. There is no dis
turbance, but every trainman seems de-
termined Cd his course of action.
Strikers say this does not measure the
possible extent of the strike.
An enormous amount of traffic will
be tied up by this strike, as it will no
doubt involve the West Shore and Lake
Shore roads, and perhaps all the lines
in Buffalo.
The Delaware, Lackawanna x West
ern sWltchmen have plainly been in
sympathy with their striking brothers
of the Lehigh and Erie, and will proba-
bly, not remain long at work handling
freight from the lines named, including
the Central. The strike is extending
and may be far reaching IN its conse-
quences and disastrous.

Canon in Colorado, and the members
tell of great suffering they endured.

They went over the new stage route to
the Grand Canon. In exploring the canon
they nearly persisted for lack of food
and water. Upon starting out they
expected to return the same day and
enthusiasm carried them on and thew
were two days getting back. Food and
water became exhausted and they got
only enough of the latter from a rock
pocket to moisten their lips. On the
second day Burns and the Professor
gave up, too weak to proceed, their
tongues having swelled SO az to almost
close their mouths. The Doctor having
the most vitality pushed for five miles
and secured relief lust in time.

few years ago and at Montereya little

outfit was a large and fcrociouS-look-

terror of the animal creation. A
Mexican cattlem1n was an interested
spectator. and while the tent was full
he mounted a seat and offered to bet
the proprietor Of the show 81. 900
that he had bull that could whip
the lion in ten minutes. The wager
was accepted and the next day set for
the battle in the local bull pen. The
lion was turned loose in the Enclosure
and a young lamb thrown to him.
He killed and ate it, and the taste Of
blood seemed to make him frantic.
Then a black. wiry. Spanish bull was
turned in. Without moments hes
itation the lion Sprang at him. but
taurus caught him on his necdle-like
horns and threw him thirty feet. The
lion did not appear anxious to renew
hoStilities, but the bull was in for a
fight to a finish. He rushed at his
enemy and gave him another savage
toss. The lion retired to the farthcst
conner of the incloSurc and tried to
scramble out, but was dubbed back.
The bull made another rush, AMI this
time he drove a horn into his antago-
mist and nearly disembowclcd him.
Every bit of fight in the lion was
gone The bull stood in the center
