MOltkc's Idea of FINN.

= The boyish delight of the Prussian gen.
erals at reaching Paris is shown in the
story of a carouse held at Ferrieres, near
Meaux, told in Il letter of Gen. Verdy du
Vernois, which was written in 1870:
Yesterday was such a fatiguing day,
but lively and agreeable. At 4 King
William gave Il grand banquet. His ma
jesty knew that we had to dine at 6 with
the head of the staff and congratulated
us on our grandiosc appetite. At 6 sharp
/ got away from the royal dinner to be
punctual to the minute at the other one
Given the circumstances, it was feast
for Lucullus; Bismarck, Room and their
table from 6 till 10. Moltke then set up
whist tables. As the punch was delicious
we all stayed till 1 in the morning. Bis
marck told Il lot of funny stories and
none funnier than his account of Jules
Favre's interview and the interminable
speeches of that French envoy. One
might fancy ones self, Bismarck said, at
q public meeting when he talked They
oil 4A read Us some verses that he was
hfs dropping line the effect was to the
last degree comic. We all went off into
roars of laughter-one of us lay Hat on
the table, another skipped round it, and
MOltke showed his sense of comicality by
sleeping bits of bread in his full wine
glass and throwing them in our faces
This dinner took place in small chateau
belonging to an aristocratic old French
lady. She did the honors of her house in
a courtly, old-fashioned style, but she
spoke no other language but French. The
dinner went off so we'll that our host felt
he must thank the old lady. Unfortu-
nately, he knew no French. His enthusi-
asm was aroused by the moonlight that
poured down on Il terrace where we took
coffee. He went to the marquise, and
mastering what words of French he
knew, took her tenderly by the hand and,
pointing to the waning moon. said:
'Foyez, madame, quel jolt demi- monde"

A Prehistoric Whale.

Capt. ]. II. D. Gray of Astoria has on
exhibition at the Perkins hotel the petri-
fed vertehra of a whale. which was found
thirty feet under ground on one of the
hills back of Astoria. at an elevation of
1S5 feet above the sea level. There was
also Il large deposit of clam shells around
the whales bone. but the rest of the
bones of the whale We're not visible The
fact tina. whale was stranded 1S5 feet
above the present water level in Astoria
shows conclusively that there has been
a flood at Astoria in days gone by. to
which thu food in Portland year ago
last June was not a marker Portland
went through that flood. and is still here
but it is plain that the Astoria which
enlisted when that whale was stranded
was utterly annihilated Portland wishes
Astoria no harm. but it must be remem-
bered that what has happened once may
occur again, and even if the modern AS
torfa is so substantially built as to with
stand any flood or tidal wave. it is going
to be very uncomfortable to have whales
hung up on church spires, and all that
sort of thing.-Portland Oregonian

Deserted Houses Turned Into Bullion

Among the greatest mines Of Arizona
was the Vulture, now the property of
H. A. w. Tabor. 1t is fifteen miles
southwest of Wlckenburg, whence the
ores We're taken by wagons to be milled
on the bankof the historic Hassayampa
The mine produced over $40 100000 in
gold, and the richest. of the ore was
found on the surface. OF course, in the
early days nothing save the best was
milled. and in the great waste dumps
around the mine was found the build
ing material for the town of Vulture.
The mine worked on for score of
years with varying fortune, the town
maintaining Il large population, while the
pipeline from the Hassayampa was
washed away by the flood that followed
the breaking of the Walnut Grove dam,
the lOO-stamp mill was closed down and
the camp was deserted.
Three years ago T. E. Parish, the
well-known miner, secured a two years
lease of the property, fitted up ten of the
stamps, put i'll gasoline engine, got the
water out of the mine and started to
"cay citing" on the lower levels. Near
the end of his lease he ran out of really
good ore. In this extremity he bethought
himself of the scores of tenantless
houses. Every one was constructed of
free milling iron oxide gold ore, and
specimens Clipped from the corners as
sayed an average of 500 to the ton. The.
last three months his stamp mill ran
solely upon building material, much to
the profit of its owner.-Denver Rcpub-
