STRONG MEN OF OLD.

 Tn the Good Old Days There Were Lots of
 Brawn and Muscle to Be Found.
 Philip, count of Kirchberg, was so strong that he could drive nail into the wall with one of his fingers, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A Span iard named Pedro, who emigrated to Naples in 1855, drove nails into the wall with his forehead. Potowka, a Polish colonel, mashed horseshoes with his hand. Valentine Einsiedel, count of Schwarzenberg, and Curtof Leut- zow, Mecklenburg nobleman, did the same thing with ease. The latter could carry tun of wine and throw silver coins with such force against an oak tree that the edge imbedded itself in the bark. Frederick of Hazstein, who lived at Limburg in 1863, could lift an aum forty English gallons) of wine and drink from the bunghole. Johann, count of Ziegenhain of Hessia Q455), pushed aside six aums of wine, wagon and all, which obstructed the road over which he was riding. Count Siegmund of Burgstall, carried seven adults on his shoulders and walked about with them for several minutes.

A DOLLAR iN THE WALLET.
It Is an Influence That Lends Charm
 to Life.


 The stars they shine serener and with greater luminosity when fellow isn't struggling with his impecuniosity. The lofty sky is bluer and the meadow grass is greener, and the ills of life are fewer, and our life itself serener; and we feel a glorious courage and the fates cannot appall it when we feel the solid backing of a dollar in our wallet.
 Oh, the quiet air of twilight is more brightly luminiferous, and the incense from the flowers is more sweet and odoriferous; and the zephyrs blow more sweetly and our food is more nutritious, and we're conscious more completely that our breakfast is de- Ecious; and we feel that life's no fzzle, as the pessimists miscall it. when we have the satisfaction of 9 dollar in our wallet.
 All our woes are less appalling and our joys are less ambiguous, and all life's happy meadows are so lush-like and irriguous; for glass of pure, cold phospha tastes as sweet as balm of Gilead, and brown bread is like am brosia Homer tells of in the ''Iliad;'' and we feel that life's a poem mauger what the cynics call it, and we feel su- premely blessed with dollar in our wallet.

Ginseng in China.

Ginseng is an important article of ex- port to China, and the trade is largely in the hands of the resident Chinese themselves. They buy the root of wholesale dealers, who get it of coun- try folk at about two dollars and fifty cents pound. Chinamen seldom buy directly from the countrymen, because the latter being unacquainted with the Celestials are unwilling to send the root c. o. D. The Chinese make a mys- tery of the trade, but they send abroad yearly many thousands of dollars worth of ginseng.

Location Of New Group of Claims

Location of New Group of Claims
 in the White Pichacho.
 Notice of location of eleven placer mining claims in the White Richacho district was filed yesterday. The To- cators are all prominent Prescott peo- pie, Hugo Richards, M. B. Hazeltine. W. E. Hazeltine, Ed Wells, R. H. Burmister, W. Bashford. Ed Blake and W. H. Smith. The point in the district at which these claims are located is five miles south of the Has, sayampa and three miles east of the north and south road.
 They lie in the vicinity of the dis coveries first exclusively published in THE REPUBLICAN and which was made by some Mexicans. It is said that the original locations are proving fabu- lously rich and that guard of Mexi- cans armed with shotguns prevents an approach to the immediate locality of the works. The excitement among miners oyer the finds which have been made or which are supposed to have been made IS becoming intense.

NERVE UF' "A FEMALE SWlNDLER

Among the curiosities in crimino-
logy is the case of the women Fur
neau. who was sentenced in London
last week to long term of impr1son-
ment for obtaining money under
false pretenses. Her swindHng oper-
atoms. which extended over period
of twenty years, were so numerous
as to almost surpass belief, but as
an evidence Of the woman's whole
sale methods of work more than
1000 letters from dupes were found
in her possession when she was az
rested. One of the most daring acts
of her unlawful career was the prose
cution, on the ground of attempting
to obtain money by threats, OF VIC
tim who had sought to force the re-
turn of money she had swindled him
out of. In this, as seems TO nave
been the case in most of her vent
ures, the woman was successful, for
the man was convicted and sent to

N,OD-A-BY TOWN.

Twilight comes down, twilight come,
down,
Ho. for the harbor of Nod-a-Bye town;
Drifting away on the pillows of dust,
Waited by winds which are drowsy
with musk,
A dear little mariner glides from the
quay
Of the Here and floats out on the
measureless sea
OF the Somewhere-'tis known as the
ocean of Rest,
And the quay Of the Here is warm,
loving breast;
And the cables which slip at sailing
like this
Are knotted With love and loosed
with a kiss.
Twilight comes down, twilight comes
down,
Ho, for the harbor of NOd-a-Bye toNa>.
Oh, beautiful harbor of Nod-a-Bye
town.
Your lights glimmer brighter as twi-
light comes down;
They twinkle and CLEAN through the
gathering dark
Bright eyes keeping watch for each
sleep-drifted bark;
Your shores stretch away to the bloom
covered hills,
And the breeze tits the blossom, and
out of them spills
The fragrance this dear little mariner
sips
From the chalice some Naiad holds up
to his lips;
And he smiles as he rocks like bird
in its nest
To this port which of Dreamland Is
fairest anil best,
Where the silver winged fairies at twl-
light come down
To FURNISH the beacons Of Nod-a-Bye
town.
q. dear little sailor for Nod-a-Bye
town,
In dreams or awake may you never
be blown
To harbor less fair, to less fortunate
strand.
Over waters less smooth, by breezes
less bland,
Rv and by you'll sail out On the ocean
of Life,
From the harbor of Peace to the
waters of Strife;
Be tossed by the nerciless tempest OF
Fate,
Or. becalmed in some tropic OF torture,
will wait
With racked, longing soul, Tor some
message Of cheer
From the heart and the love which
now shelters you here.
May you find in these arms, While the
tears trickle down,
AS of old. the fair harbor Of Nod-a-Bye
town.

NAPOLEON'S OMELETTE.

tNenevals Memoirs: This great
man, whom so many preJudlced or
mistaken minds have been pleased
to represent as being inaccessible to
any tender sentiment was both
good husband and an excellent
father; never did the empress find
in him the censor of her innocent
wbims. The following anecdote,
which Marie Louise used to be fond
of calling to mind, shows the good
nature of Napoleon IN this respect:
The remembrance of taste which
she had acquired in the very homely
sort of life she had led when quite a
girl inspired the empress with a de-
sire to make an omelette herself, and
she had all the necessary ingredients
brought into her apartment. While
completely taken up with her very
important culinary operation, the
emperor entered without having
been announced, either by chance or
because he had heard from some
officious person what was going on
and wanted to have the pleasure OF

set to work, the empress acting as his
assistant. but he was trying to teach

than he did, and whose education had
been obtained in a very lofty school.

NOTES ABOUT WOMEN.

A company of Benedictine nuns
have opened at Bristow, Prince VIII
lam county, Va, an institute where
they purpose to educate helpless and
friendless girls for Homework and
other domestic service. The girls are
to nave fairly good common educa.
ton and are then to be trained for
whatever position they seem most com
petent to ill. 1t is a fact, understood
that the maids trained IN the converts
and orphan asylums by the Sisters
are, as a rule, we'll trained They are
taught respectful obedience, and be
yond the on requirement Of attention
to their religious duties, they are not
encouraged in any unreasonable COM
plants against their mistresses. The
girls visit the convent constantly. and
the Sisters usually continue to exercise
an excellent influence over them so
long as they remain in their neigh
borhood.
Miss Olive Schreiner of African
Farm fame. recently told the follow
ing story: She and her brothers and
sisters had as one of their playthings
a bright stone that they called candle
stone. 1t was about the size of a
walnut, and would flash in a bright
and singular way when held up to
the light. Not until she had quite
grown up ard the candle-stone had
been lost for years did any of them
realize that it was Il diamond, Of
doubtless immense value. The Kim
berly mines were in the unknown fut-
ure, but this stone had, perhaps. been
washed down by some torrent Or be-
brought by other Glance from Ii
