 Dauphiny, like the ancient world and modern Corea, has it's "seven wonders" !" The first Is the toursans-venin, that puts all venomous creatures to flight; Mount Aiguille, known ss the inaccessible noun tain, because it has never yet been scaled :; the Ardente, fountain which emits an in- fismmsble gas after each rain; the famous grotto of Notre Dame de Ia Bslme; the wonderful fountain of Vineuse; the Trembling Pre- in the Lake of Peltotiers, and lastly La Grsride Chsrtreuse.
 The "recovered city of Lschish" in Pal estine is one of the m oat interesting as we'll as one of the most important arch eological discoveries In the orient. This ancient city is mentioned in Joshua, ard its site was unknown until three years ago, when Professor Petrie happened upon its ruins while digging in vast mound known locally as Telel-Hesy. The great fmpor- tance of tho ''fnd" lies in the fact that there are eight ancient towns lying be- meath the mound, each (except the frsD built on an elder abandoned town.
 The edelweiss has bsen hunted from one point of refuge to another among the Alps till it has been almost eKterminated In its native home. One of the most beautiful and quaint Of mountain flowers is con demned to extinction because tourists ir Switzerland consider themselves bound by fashion to wear 8 couple of dried speci- mems in their hats or send them aoL-s gummed to a card. In one or two of the csntons the government has interfered to save the persecuted plant, and has Set a fine on the plucking of its beautiful white, fluffy flowers.
 The Boston Herald psrpetrates the fol lowing: "Young women in search of phys. ical culture are respectfully referred to the following rule, laid down by Mrs. Bridget Maguire of New York: Take the scops (the high Latin name for broom) in the hands, which should be held at half reach reversed grasp, allowing the buehy DOT ton of the scopn to rest upon tho floor, and holding firmly to the upper end of the handle. Bend the body slightly forward, give the arms horizontal movement, lift the scops slightly, and move one foot be. fore the other. Repeat these movements until the fcope has been brought in con tact with every portion of the floor"
 Some curiosity is evinced se to whether the presidents obvious request to the newspapers to be let alone at Buzzard's Bay will be needed. The Sun snnounces that the request twill bs needed by sll self-respscting newspapers and by all re- spectsble correspondents" The New rrhfoh arflant1r, fa nf the came mind, quotes the Boston Record, which comedies this self-evident truth; "There are times when even president ought to be allowed peace and serene seclusion." The president undoubtedly needs rest and recuperation and is most certainly entitled to it~ Even with freedom from the interviewer his vac ation hours will probably not be divested | of anxiety as regards the battle In con- gress, the warning factions In his party, the hostile attitude of men supposed to have been solid for hard money, and the myriad of vexstious things that haunt the path of the ruler of great nation. "Un' easy Hes the head" etc, Is an old adsge | Fortunate for him If like Gladstone, as Il is reported, he can drop all care and worry when slumber time arrives.
 Our Indian association friends are pleased and everybody else ought to be over a very cheerful report concerning the Indians In Dakota and a marked chang, that has taken place among them since tht battle of Wounded Knee, that desperst, engagement in which some of our owr New Haven men saw service and wher, they formed at the time very unfavorAbl, opinions of the red men and women also owing to exceedingly fragrant sets ot treachery committed. Under wholssom, and benign influences, even the most de prayed of the red race, wherever found
 show 8 marked susceptibility to improve
 msnt in moral character. The Rev. Al fred Coe of Pine Ridge, Dakota, writing O
 an Indian celebration of the Fourth O
 July at that place, says of the present stti
 tude of the Indians towards the whites
 "Sincs the battle of Wounded Knee (onl,
 two years sgo) the hatchet has been buried
 and the old savage feeling seems t'
 have been entirely obliterated, and man,
 have begun to show an interest In Christi
 Anity ss we'll as in civilization. An evi
 dence of this Is shown in the manner h
 which the Indians tried to celebrate Inde
 pendence Day. It was their frst attempt
 and seeming to appreciate the importAnc
 of citizenship, they invited all their whit
 friends to join in the celebration. Thi
 consisted of foot-rscing, horse-rscing, tar
 get-shooting with rife and bow, e genuip
 Indian pow-wow, and 6 sham battle betvee
 Sioux and Crows. The capture of west ern garrison was also enacted, in whic were displayed some most remarks
