A special from Key West says: A rumor which
has been circu ated during the past week to the
effect that part of the crew OF the schooner
Arietis had been seen by sailor on a Cedar
Key lumber vessel while on O trip to Mexico,
aud that the men he had seen were W0rklng
with ball and chain attached to them, has
created considerable excitement and caused q
revival of interest, AMI lots OF specule tiCn as TO
the probable fate OF the said vesse! ana her
crew. The Arietts, schooner owned here,
left this mort in May 1886, bound to Pensacola,
for load Of lumbsr and neither the vessel
nor any Of those on board have ever been seen
heard Of since by any one here. During
this time, especially during the first two
years, many rumOrs have been circulated &c
Counting for the mystery. but on inquiry and
investigation the rumors seemed 10 have
no foundation in fact. and although most OF our
citizens had conc uied thGt the vessel had

secuted the idea and held that IL would have
been impossible for 3 vessel and all on hoard TO
have been lost without some portion OF the

one of the many vessels always 10 the gulf at
that time. and accounted for the mystery by
arguing that the vessel was captured 10y some
Mexican sailors who had taken passage on her

the crew are ali held in bondage.

Dried Flies From Mexico.

''No matter what it may be, if an
article brings fair price 1 deal in it, ="
said a commission merchant to a
writer in the Waverly Magazine. "My
last venture consists of dried flies, Just
common flies which come from Mexico
People buy them for their singing
birds. sell them retail to the dealers.
Flies are plentiful in the tropical val
leys and the time of the Mexican In
dian is not particularly valuable.
When he can no longer sleep in his
hut on account of the swarms of flies
attracted by the filth which accumu
lates about his front door, he some
times is stung into desire for revenge
on his enemies. Revenge is sweet,
and sweeter if there is any money in
it. He goes to the woods and collects
a number of green twigs of certain
tree. These he lays in pile on the
floor of his hut, with some dry twigs
under them. Then from another tree
he gets a gum which he boils into a
thin syrup and spreads on the walls of
his hut. The flies are attracted by its
fragrant and far-reaching odor. They
gather to feed on it. When the hut is
black with them the Indian sets fire to
the twigs on the floor and closes the
apertures from the outside. The twigs
emit an aromatic smoke which kills the
flies and they fall to the floor in thou
sands Then the natives wife dries
them while he goes to sleep again.

The First Posts.

The first posts are said to have
originated in the regular couriers es-
tablished by Cyrus about $50 b. c.,
who erected posthouses throughout the
Kingdom of Persia. Augustus was the
first to introduce this institution
among the Romans, 81 b. c., and he
was initiated by Charlemagne about
500 A. ID. Louis XI. was the first
sovereign to establish posthouses in
France, owing TO his eagerness for
news, and they were also the first in
stitution of this nature in Europe.
This was in l470, or about 1000 years
after they were started in Persia.
In England in the reign of Edward
~. Q4Sl) riders on posthorses went
stages of the distance of twenty miles
from each other, in order TO procure
the King the earliest intelligence of
the events that passed in the course of
the war that had arisen with the Scots.
A proclamation was issued by Charles
/. in 1851, that ''whereas TO this time
there hath been no certain intercourse
between the Kingdoms OF England and
Scotland, the King now commands his
Postmaster of England for foreign
parts to settle a running post or two
between Edinburgh and London, 10 go
thither and come back again in six
days, "--Cbambers's Journal

Every one knows the pretty, light
and graceful chairs and other articles
of furniture made from rattan, but
every one does not know that the ex
tremely tough and flexible wood called
rattan is that of the climbing palm tree.
This curious climber, which is more OF
Il vine than tree, is said by the Phila
delphia Times to be one of the singu
lar characteristics of forest growth in
the Celebes and other Malayan cOun-
tries. Starting with trunk II little
thicker than mans arm, it winds
through the forest, now wrapping a
tall tree in its fold, like some gigantic
snake, and then descending again to
the earth and trailing along in snake
like curves until it can find some other
stately tree to fasten and climb upon
in its pursuit of light and air The
forest is so thick and jungle-like that
it seems impossible to follow the course
of any of these serpent climbers, but
there is little doubt that Ht the last
the successful aspirant, which stopped
and cringed so long below, will be
found shooting up like n flagstaff u
dozen feet or more above the tree
which has helped it to rise. A use of
rattan, which is unknown to those who
who have not seen it in its native
forest, is as water carrier. The thirsty
traveller has at all times n tumbler of
cool, refreshing water at his command
by cutting of six or eight feet of rat
tan and putting one of the severed
ends to his mouth or holding it over
dish TO catch the water.

Living Over a Volcano.

China is populated SO thickly that
hundreds of thousands of people live
all the year round in house-hoats
Japan is not so overcrowded rs China,
but it is populated so thickly that
about twenty thousand persons live in

thirty miles distant from the city of
Kumamoto. "Think, says a writer in
the Chicago Times, "of walking for
miles among fertile farms andprosper-
GUS villages, peering into school-house
windows and sacred shrines, all within
the shell of an OIL time crater, whose
walls rise 500 feet all about you. 1t

A Thrilling Adventure.

Ezra Thomas, prospector of Shasta
County where he is known as the
Mountain Boy'0, had an exciting adj
venture on Sunday last in the neigh
borhood of Taylor's Flat. While
leisurely walking along the trail with
his pick on his shoulder his attention
was suddenly called to the fact that
something was running along behind
him. On turning around he saw a
deer coming on the dead run and with
III few feet of him. He stepped
aside, and, as the deer reached him,
he struck it on the head with his pick,
the point of which was embedded deep
in the deer's forehead. The deer
dropped dead. No sooner had he dis
patched the deer than his attention
was again directed to the trail over
which the deer had come, when, to his
utter astonishment and alarm, he saw
huge California lion bounding along
after the deer. The Mountain Boy
had barely time to step aside to give
the animal the right of way and get
his pick in readiness for an attack
when the lion came leaping to where
he was He made lick at the ami.
malls head with the pick, but as the
lion was going at such velocity he
missed his mark and struck one of the
lions hind legs, breaking it. The lion
with savage growl and swapping its
teeth in rage bounded away on three
legs and disappeared. The dead deer
was brought to the residence of J. d.
Hayward, where it served to satisfy
the cravings of the inner man.

' A curious exodus has been for some
years and is still going ON from Canada 80
the United States. The descendants
of Revolutionary Tories and sympa-
thizers with Great Britain in the war Of
lS12-14 are emigrating to tho State of
New York and TO the Northern New
England States in large numbers. They
come quietly, and because this country
was the home of their fathers they feel
it to be their natural home. The New
York News asserts that the feeling is
hereditary, and of n piece with the de-
sire of the Israelites in Babylon and
Egypt to go back to the homes oftheir

The inventor of the bullet proof
uniform, Herr Dove, in Mannheim,
who only few months ago refused to
fill an American order for single
bullet proof overcoat. for which gar
ment the American offered $3.50, has
had the misfortune of accumulating
small debts as fast as newspaper noto-
riety, and the other day all his personal
property, including his furniture and
the evening dress suit which he bought
to wear at hoped for audience with
the Kaiser, was sold at auction. Thus

The Sultan of Turkey has, it is said,
got the notion into his head that he
must have worlds fair at CONSTANT
nople in 1891. 1t is TO be hoped, OBJ
serves the New York World, that the
civilized Nations of Europe will frown
severely upon the scheme. The tax
ridden people of his dominions are al
ready mulcted of nearly $40, 200, 900
annually to support his harem. The
Turkish notion of worlds fair will
necessitate the invention of new levy,
the appointment of a horde of new tax
gathers and the enlargement of the
present system of official incompetency
and tyranny that makes life in Arabia
and Syria little better than slavery.
