It has been recently stated by those who knew him well that Mir. Spur geon was an example of the fact that public men often quake on the eve of their great successes. Though few guessed it, he. was nervous in speak ing. and one result of the disastrous panic at the Surrey Gardens in 1856 was that he ever afterward dreaded excitement in great audiences. At the Free Trade hall in Manchester. 1872, the orator vas in buoyant and brilliant form. Yet before delivering his address he had been attacked by nervous sickness in the anteroom.
 As we have suggested, this curious preliminary recoil seems to be ire Quent characteristic of the efforts that establish or increase fame. Inquiry shows that some form of timorousness dogs distinction hke its shadow. It may have peculiar and even eccentric features Mr. Ed mund Yates has mentioned the case of distinguished living politician, noted fov his dash and aplomb while in the house Of commons, to whom on one occasion Sir Henry Halford, the eminent physician, gave an ac- Eyrnt ,rt 4 railway accident.

PREsocrT, Feb. l6.- Editor JoUR- NAL-MNER. l-I give you the names of the swondsmen whom l have met and defeated both in this country and Europe and Australia, as it may be interesting to the patrons of your paper. My first contest was at the Agricultural Hall, London, with Major Dibbs, of the 2d Life Guards. The next of importance was with Prof. Schultz, of the Imperial Gym nasium, Berlin, then with Captain Thomdyke, Montreal, Canada. Capt. J. H. Marshall and Duncan C. Ross at San Francisco. Ross at the time held the championship of the world. This was in lSS6. l have held it since against all corners. In Austra- Iia, where 1 have been for the last five years, l met in Sydney, New South Wales, Profs. J. Donavan and E. W. Sengay Melbourne; Prof. Mil Ter and Duncan C. Ross. who fol- lowed me from this country for the championship. but failed to get 1t. My next match was with Capt. Geo. Dean, of the Adelaide Lancers, and the same day l met Troop Sergeant Maj. DePassey, who challenged me on the grounds for $50 a side. My last match was with MT. Fl. r. King and Sorgt Virgo, both on the same day. Mir. P. Lawson, whom I meet here on Sunday, has met and de feated some of the best men ID England and holds the champion ship of Canada.

Mining Intelligence.

The following rather vague and guarded piece of news is obtaiaed from the Phenix Herald One of the best authorities on mines and min ing and one who has known and worked about mines all his life, told a reporter of the Herald to-day that a rich strike, that from develop ments which he himself had noted, would rival the famous Bonanza mine in richness, had been made in the Harqua Hala. Quite an amount of work has already been done on 1t, and several men are now employed on the mine. Capital will not be wanting to put in the necessary mills and develop it as soon as as- sured that the mine is what the owners now think that it is. The gentleman is very conservative and vet quite enthusiastic over the pros pect open before him. Plenty of water is at hand so that A-stamp mill can beoperated and it is owned by citizens of Phenix, too. We are promised the location and descrip- tion of the property in short time. This is one of the best things We have heard of for a long time and IS a genuine find.

An aquarium in which plants are grown will not require the changing of water. except occasionally, when the tank needs to be cleaned. The growing plants give of oxygen and absorb carbonic acid. To arrange sn aquarium with plants, cover the bottom of a glass globe or tank with gravel which has been thoroughly washed. Half fill small fiOwerpot with earth, and plant in it small Egyptian lily; then fill the pot with well washed sand. Place the pot in the center of the tank and surround 1t with stones, so that it may be held in place and at the same time con cealed. On top of this pot, and around it in the rocks and gravel, set out a few fine moses and vines, such as grow in fresh water. Let watercress and hornwort be among them.

 Tho owner of Q paper lay dying in his lair, and the dew of death had gathered on his brow so cala aud fair, but printer iSnelt beside him as bis hfeblood ebhed away and asked the dying editor if he had q word to say. The doomed man mur- mnred softly as he grabbed the printers fist Well, at last the struggles over, and l never will be missed.
 Take a message and token to that city man of mine that all his worn ont chesiRuts ke had better put in brine, There's his joke about the weather, which he used this many years, and the gag about the fellow who is always hunting beers, and the item he's So fond of on the man who peddles books, and tho chestnut based on people who go fishing in the brooks. Just to save the papers creiit and to cast no sluYs on mine, l would ask him as favor to put such gags in brine, and tho lies he's fond of telling of the street cars and the tacks, and the one about some dandy who will never pay for clothes. and the one on women cleaning house-it's weary heaven knows

AFRICAN ADMINISTERS.

A Place Where Therc Are Few Strfkss
 Because of the Fate of a striker.
 The Balubans, as the natives of the Muansanyomma district of cen tral Africa are styled, enjoy an ex- cellent local reputation as ironwork- CTS They find their crude material in the form of bog iron ore on the surface of the land. It rarely hap pens that digging to an appreciahle depth is necessary. Their smelting furnaces, which are constructed of clay, arc from six to ten feet high, from forty to sixty inches in diam eter at the base and conical in shape.
 The ore is tipped into the furnace from above; the charcoal, on the other hand, is introduced into hasinhke side openings, which also receive a continuous air blast, while the iron and slag are removed from the bot tom of the furnace about every eight or twelve hours, according to the de- gree of heat obtained.
 The forge is a circular building some sixteen feet in diameter, with a pointed roof and open sides. At a distance it might be taken for a park band stand In the center of this hut is the fire, which is maintained in constant activity by means of a unique pair of bellows. which merit & special description. They consist of block d wood. generally twenty inches long. hollowed out and fitted , with a funnel head made of clay. At the lower end are two orifces, over which skins are stretched. Mo ton is imparted to the instrument by the action of two small rods. The hammer is of solid iron; the tongs are marvels of simplicity to wit bent palm branch. An iron wedge driven into a timber bole serves as an anvil.
 The recollections of the Baluhans carry them back to the time when they wrought metals with stone tools. Some of the natives are com paratively artistic workers. Very fine axes, tastefully inlaid with cop per, are produced.
 Strikes among these swarthy arti- ficers are of comparatively rare oc- curTenoe, probably owing to the fact that the malcontents invariably have their heads Topped of and their skins placed on one side for patching, or In case of need entirely recovering the aforesaid curious bellows. Lon don Iron.
