why Gen. Jim Lewis Did Not Rise at the
Proper Time.
Gen. Jim Lewis, as he is Familiarity
called, is said by his friends TO believe
in the efficacy of eccentric habits with
the fair sex, and many acts of smile
provoking character are told of him.
His most recent act in this line, accord
ing to the st. Louis Republic, occurred
short time since at a dinner party
given by lady friend.
During the course Of the dinner the
general, so the story goes, was noticed
to lean over and reach down toward the
floor, first on one side, then on the
other. The movement was noted, but
was thought TO be only one of his pc
culiarities. At the close of the dinner,
when the ladies rose to retire and al
low the gentlemen to solace themselves
with an indulgence of good cigars, the
general did not rise.
This action produced an awkward
pause, and made the general the OBJ
served of all observers, noting which,
together with the look Of inquiry and
expectancy with which he was re.
garded, he made prompt explanation to
the effect that his remaining seated
was due TO his shoes not being wholly
on his feet.
He did not, however, have to explain
that their not being so was due TO his
peculiar side movements at the table,
when he had partially removed them to
ease the pressure upon the supernu-
merary eXcrescences on his pedal APP
pendages for-the ladies had fled.

most remarkable thing is reported
10 have occurred at Naples in the year
1891. Antonio Lazzetti, a begger who
had formerly resided at Tarentum, but
who on account OF a Ie had been sent to
n hone for the aged at one OF the other
Of the places mentioned, experienced a
complete renewal of life. At the begin
ming OF the transformation he was little
less than ninety years OF age. The first
thing noticed which suggested that some
ching extraordinary was about to take
place was in his skin, which cracked and
came off like that of toad or snake,
leaving a soft, new skin in place Of the
wrnklei cuticle that had been worn for
four score wears and half. Within a
surprising short time his tiaccid old
muscles became strong and plump, the
white hairs fell from his head and curly
black hair, similar to that which had so
delighted the maidens seventy-four years
before, appeared. His eyesight also re
turned with all the vigor of youth; his
complexion seemed fresh and rosy; in
fact, he was new man from the soles Of
his feet to the crown of his head. He
lived sixty years after this transformation,
and then died at the age of l50.-Phila.

Michael FAraday, the great scientist,
and Sir Charles Lyell were sent as
Government Commissioners to watch the
inquest upon those who had died by the
explosion in the Haswell Colliery 1874.
Faraday cross-examined the witness very
pertinently. Among other questions,
he asked how the rate of flow Of air cur
rents was measured. An inspector, in
reply, took pinch of guupowder from
a box, as if it were snuff, aud let it fall
through the flame OF candle. His
companion, with watch, noted the
time the smoke took to travel a certain
distance. The method satisfied Faraday,
but he remarked upon the careless hand
ling of the powder, and asked where it
was kept. "In bag, tightly tied, |"
was the reply. "Yes; but where do you

EEITOR GOLD EAF:-Permit me
to answer various enquiries about this
place through your columns. To begin,
only few visitors have gotten here
yet, and nothing like crowd is ex-
pected before Saturday. Most of those
here now have come rather for health,
rest, good fishing, than for society
pleasures. Next week the bcax and
bellies, together with the brain and
beauty of the Teachers Assembly, will
occupy the stage, and a lively and
pleasant time is confidently expected.
So far the weather has been uneX-
ceptionable, covering being comfort
able at night, with a pleasant salt
water breeze during the day. The
proprietor of the Atlantic, who is a
new man here, has made some alter
atoms in the last years. regime, among
which is the free baths in the bath
houses and the 6 children's pool.''
The fishing in the sound, in Newport
river and Calico creek is now all that
could be desired by the most exacting
followers of the piscatorial art. Blue
fish, Spanish mackerel, clans, soft crab,
hard crab, and other choice salt water
fresh meat tempt the appetite at each
meal, and it yields.
Prices for board are also consider
ably reduced for families or parties
staying a week or month, and the sup
ply of pleasure boats is large, and can
be hired by the hour or day for mod
crate compensation.
The ten pin alley, barber shop and
bar room are each we'll up to the re-
quirements Of the day, and all More

visitors.

here next week of the discussion about

tween Messrs. McIver, Harrell and
