THE BRAVE JACK TAR.
EisIxins Ills Life to E;a-y the Corpse O
 all Enemy.

1~fSkines HIS Life C0 IIu"Y ta2 corpse O.
 an Enemy.
 After the repulse of one of the furious assaults at Acre, says writer in Cool Words, the dead body of French of ficer WAS left lying in 2 prominent posi- tion between the walls and the be- siegers' trenches. The body lay there for day or two and attracted much att tention. It was spoken about on board tlp Tigrc, which lay off Acre, and the matter made an impression difficult to account for on the simple superstitious mind of Kelly. Only the very smartest men had been sent ashore to assist in the defense, and Kelly was not among these. But one day he begged for and obtained leave to go on shore. As soon as he entered the town he procured a shovel q piclZax. and coil of rope, walked straight to the ramparts, and, declining all offers of assistance, low cred himself from an embrasure. As Kelly set foot upon the ground, and, shouldering his tools, walked deliber- ately toward the dead body a dozen French muskets were pointed at him. One of the enemy's commanders, how ever, diyining the sailors inten- tions, ordered his men to shoulder arms. Tn an instant both sides, as if by some common impulse, ceased firing, and Kelly, the object of breathless att tention rom friend and foe, stopped be- side the Frenchmau's corpse. He then coolly and calmly dug a grave, put the officer into it, covered him mp, and talk ing from his pocket a small piece of board and bit of chalk wrote on the board: Here you lie, old Crop" and put at the head of the grave this rough and ready memorial. 'Old Crop" was no doubt honest Kelly's rendering of ''Crapaud, the French for frog, and a nickname with the sailors for all ''nounseers. This pious duty done, he shouldeTed his implements again, walked back as GeliL eratcly as he had come, and disappeared within the en- brasure. The firing recommended and men thirsted once moro for another's blood. Sir Sidney Smith, the very man to delight in such an adventure, sent for Kelly and questioned him about it. The simple-hcarted tar could only won der that others could find anything to wonder at in his exploit. You were alone, were you not?" said Sir Sidney. No, I was not alole," answered Kelly. q was told you were," protested the commodore. ''No, I wasn't alone," was the reply; ''God was with me-"

THE EXPOSITION POST OFFICE.
Preparations for Handling Mountain oi
 Nail E.St@cr.

Mail EE.st.>cr.
 The worlds fair is to have post of fec large enough to supply hourly mails to 150,000 exhibitors, and the force to managc it will be as large as that of the Milwaukee post office. Such, in brief, i5 the plan of the post office de partnent.
 Post Office Inspector Stoddard has been commissioned to investigate as to the post cf-icc facilities required and with instructions to curtail the plant in no particular.
 - lIr. Gtodlard was informed that it had been estimated that between 150, GOO and 175.0c0 exhibitors would be at the fair. Taking tkece figures the in- speetor csticlatcd that between 300 and 403 post office employees would be re- quired to handle the mails, this esti- mate including tic carriers. It is pro- posed to have al mails for exhibitors dropped of directly at tho grounds, and no mail natter will be sent to the main office. It $ proposed to have post ollice wholly up to the size and charac- ter required n q large city. and money order, registry and other divisions will Ee established. Hourly deliveries and collections will be made and the office will have to be opened three CT four months before tho formal opening of the fair, and as exhibitors will not leave fer several months after the fair closes the post ofzicc will be open about fifteen months.
 The total cost of the management and fore for this period, it is believed, will be in the ncighborhood of $250,0O0. 1t has not yet been decided whether the post office will be established in the government building or a separate structure erected. This matter will be decided upon by Inspector Stoddard during his present Investigation and his conclusions will be emobdied in special report to Postmaster General WanaInallor

A HEROIC COUPLE.
The Wonderful I'crfornnance of Sea
 Captain and His Wife.

The Wonderful Performance of Sea
 Captain and His Wife.
 News comes from Honolulu that ship ping men in that port were recently surprised to see the brig G. II. Douglass, supposed to have been lost on a coral reef at Butaritari. sail into port with master and crew in the last stage of eX- haustion from overworl1 and hunger.
 Capt. Holland. the master at the time of the wreck, sold the vessel for five hundred dollars to B. D. Reid, master of the trading schooner Reid. He got the vessel off the reef, patched up the bottom and then started with her for Honolulu. His voyage was remarka- ble He had to make it without chro- nometer or log, and with broken pumps. The vessel was leaking badly. Besides this, half of the provisions were lost, and for the last four days before reaching Honolulu Capt. Reid and his wife went without food They did no manual labor and gave their share to the men working the pumps.
 The voyage lasted thirty-two days. During this time the men were at the pumps day and night. The water rose six and a half inches an hour, and this increased at the latter end of the trip, when the men were weakest and could barely keep the vessel from becoming water-logged. Capt. Reid was nearly dead from hunger and exposure, but he brought the supposed wrecked vessel into port. The vessel was examined at Honolulu, and was pronounced only slightly injured.

MINES AND MINING.
An Innovation in Worlds Fair Exhibi-
 fionS.

An Innovation in Worlds Fair Exhibi-
 tions.
 Considerable misapprehension exists both in this country and abroad as to the mines and mining exhibit which is to be made at the exposition. At worlds fair3'hcrctofore the mineral and allied exhibits have been shown in the man. ufacturcs building or in anneXes to other structures occupied by exhibits having but remote relation to anything of tho mineral description. Many press notices and comments indicate that the impression prevails widely that such is to be the case at the exposition of 1893. But that is far from being true. Mines and Mining has been made Q separate and distinct department Of the clas- ification Of exhibits and will have the exclusive u3e of ono of the finest and largest of the exposition buildings. The mines and mining building measures $50 by TOO feet, has q total floor space of almost 9 acres and cost S265, GOO. The fact is that at the Worlds Columbian exposition for the first time in tkc his tory of such enterprises the mining in dustry and products are accorded the recognition which their exceedingly great importance to the wealth and prosperity of all civilized nations really demands. ETr. Skiff, chief of the de- partment, says that it is already as sured that in the mines and mining building will be gathered in 1893 incom- parably thc largest array and most com plcte ard most instructive evidence of the mineral wealth and progress of the mining industry ever collected or att tempted.

IN cases OF nervous prostration, and
where want Of sleep is the prime cause of
nervousness. Doctor Hammond fears
that as soon as the people get hold of it
unpleasant results will develop. None
are now noted because its use is so re-
cent.
Orethraie is not much employed. 1t
exists IN colorless and odorless crystals,
and tastes not unlike saltpeter. 1t dis
solves readily in water and alcohol. 1t is
uncertain in action, and cannot be relied
upon where sleep is imperatively de-
manded.
Choral, with which everyone is famil-
lar, has been known for sixty years, and
has many therapeutical applications be-
sides the hypnotic. The sleep it produces
is natural and refreshing. A large guam
tity acts as poison to the heart, par
alyzes it and causes death. 1t diminishes
excitability of the respiratory nerve CEN
ters and causes rapid fall in bodily tenn
perature. 1t is unsatisfactory in one re-
spect, the uncertainty Of depending upon
the individual to whom given as to what
constitutes proper dose; not only as to
different persons, but the same person at
different times. Thus dose safe at one
time may produce serious consequences
and even death at another Deaths from
chloral are numerous and the doctor con-
siders it so dangerous that he declines to
use it at all, because there is no knowing
the degree of alkalinity of the blood, and
as decomposition ensues rapidly when
the blood is strongly alkaline, chloral
taking to produce sleep cannot be too
severely condemned. The chloral habit
this distinguished physician pronounces
the most Geplorable of all vices arising
out of the desire for sedatives and stimu-
lants

We must prove by reform of our sys-

precinct with as much accuracy as clerk

2o0 articles. In the ordinary shipping
houses of this city and San Francisco
there are thousands of counts, calculating
checks, tallies and entries made, bills
called off, entered, made, proved, etc.,
every day, and yet simple error in any
OF these is rare. Why cannot we SO pro-
vide that the business and bookkeeping

THE dispatches announce that the
Canadian Government will this week
issue proclamation Withdrawing the
discriminating tolls upon Canadian canals
that were laid to cripple American lake
commerce. This, if done, will be because
of the firm stand taken by President
Harrison and his warning that, if the in
justice of the discrimination continued
much longer, he would authorize re-
taliatory action. 1t is now announced
that the President will in a few days send
a message to Congress advising that all
goods received in American ports to be
sent over the Canadian railways in bond
for delivery at other points in the United
States, be subjected to Custom house in
spection and to duty at the point OF origi-
nal reception. If this is done it will COM
pei the Canadian line to receive all i'm
ported goods for transhipment by that road
at other than American ports, and goods
coming now to our harbors and delivered
in bond will take other than the Canadian
route across the continent

THE alarmist dispatches about the i'm
minence of revolution in France are not
sustained by the news in detail. The
republic is really stronger to-day than 1t
was at the first disclosure of the Panama
Canal scandal. Whoever reads the news
dispassionately must reach the conclu-
sion that the people of France have not
been given any assurance that venality
will be less under a monarchy or a COM
mune, or that any change in the form of
government will modify human nature
in its manifestations among the French.
