The italian colony in Williamsburg,
N. Y, has a postotfice of its own. It
was established as an experiment by
Postmaster Sullivan, and proved such
a success that the quarters are going
to be enlarged. There are nearly 5000
in the colony, and the sending OF money
to relatives and friends in Italy for the
holidays was so great that the Office
had to be kept open in the evening.

American Ell Dorado, as the following
recital from the New York Tribune re-
veals: The gold mine said to have the
largest output Of any in the world is
the Little Johnny, of Leadville, COL,
Owned by John f. Campion. He went
to Leadville and took up the Little
Johnny after four other miners had
abandoned it because they could not
find a trace of carbonates. When he
was poor prospector, two years ago,
he became acquainted with school
teacher, Miss Nellie May DAILY. He
could not marry her because he was
too poor, but with an income Of three
hundred thousand dollars year, which
he now has, that obstacle has been re-
moved, and they were married in Dem
yer on Monday last. He has ordered
the construction of residence there to
cost one hundred thousand dollars.

ALLIED FOR DEFENSE.

Central American States to Help Each
t%# Other IL Time Of Need.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-New treaties
IF far reaching Importance have re-
Gently been made between Nicaragua
and Honduras, and official copies have
just been received in Washington. The
treaties have been under negotiation
for some time and were finally put into
effect by proclamation on the 18th of
last month. .".'
They are the first practical steps to-
waxd the formation Of a Central Amer
lean nation out of the several small re-
publics, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guate-
mala, Salvador and Costa Rica. The
first treaty forms defensive alliance
in case of foreign war, all offensive ALI
ance against common enemies. 1t
obliterates commercial frontiers SO that
foreign goods once admitted to one
country are free to enter the other. An
express provision is made against the
possibility of war between the coun-
tries by an article requiring
Difference Between Them
to be adjusted by arbitration by some
government on the American con.
tinent. Article So is the one looking to
the union in single nation. and is as
follows:
"The high contracting parties SOL
EMMY declare that they cannot and
will not consider as foreign the other
Central American countries, and that
they will labor constantly to maintain
the family bonds and the greatest cor.
diality in their relations, making q
common cause with them in case Of
war or difficulties with foreign coun.
tries and mediating in their interna-
tional relations. To this end the pres
emit treaty will be submitted to their
consideration, inviting them to sub
scribe to it as a common contract
American treaty, until the arrival Of
the day when they shall be incorpor
| ated in single nation"

MAXINE ( new GERMANY.

The Work Of Colonization Going on Rap
Idly in Various Quarters.
Although barely ten years have
elapsed since Germany set about the
national work of colony building, her
progress in this respect has been alto
gether phenomenal, says the New York
Tribune. The TeutQn flag floats over
territory surpasang five times in super
fcies that of the fatherland, and the
growth of that colonial empire which
Prince Bismarck inaugurated in 1884
can only be compared to that Of Jonahs
gourd. It cemoins TO De seen whether
Shis astonishing development will prove
ephemeral or lasting. One significant
fact, however, is that after this exert
ence of ten years the Germans are as
united in their belief as to the wisdom
of possessing colonies and their value
as they were at the outset. This is all
the more noteworthy since not one OF
these dependencies has as yet begun to
pay its way, but still constitutes se'
rious charge upon the imperial ex-
chequer. Nor are the colonies as yet
of any great account commercially,
since the gross value of imports and ex-
ports of the German possessions in
Africa does not exceed eight million
dollars per annum. Neither can the
colonies be considered of much impor-
lance to Germany as q home for her
surplus population, since, according to
the official statistics just issued at Ber-
lin, the total number Of German sub
iects in German colonies after ten years
of colonizing does not exceed two thou
sand; that is to say, not so many as
sometimes reach New York in the space
of one week from Bremen and Ham
burg. Far from being discouraged, the
imperial government is displaying much
energy and foresight in establishing
lines Of steamers to Asia, America and
Australasia, making German influence
felt in places where few years ago 1t
was an unknown quantity; and is,
moreover, taking the lead of all Euro
pean powers in the construction of rail-
roads into the interior of Africa. This
is the key to the development Of the
dark continent, and Germany deserves
the goodw will and gratitude Of trade and
commerce throughout the world.

One Of the odd characters described

young man named Schmitz. big
Schmitz'' he was commonly called on
account of his extraordinary physique
six feet two inches in height and enor-
mously stout He-could not ride in any
ordinary carriage, and In the houses
where he was accustomed TO- visit
special chairs were provided for him.
In the house of Thiebault's father such
a chair was kept in the dining-room
and another in the parlor. Big Schmitz
and a. companion were once driving to
Berlin when their carriage broke down,
and the second man went to the nearest
village in quest Of some one to repair
it. Unhappily, it was Sunday, and no
one was willing 70 work.
In this dilemma the young man re-

the carriage, l will show him to you"
The workmen FASTENED to see the
wonder, and so far as appears were not
disappointed when the giant" was pro-

Gen. Thiebault declares that at the

angle, other wise he could not get near

well understood, also, that in company
he must be put with the greatest eat.

something like as much as he needed
without being put to shame. When ne
had his own way he would sit at the
table three or four hours
He had sister who was also very
tall and stout and a prodigy with tho
knife and fork. Thiebault tells foi
true the story that once On setting out
for drive FOR few miles she put into
the carriage basket con tanning sixty
four hard-bciled eggs.
Having nothing else to do she began
to nibble an egg, and at the end OF tho
drive, which could not have taken more
than an hour or two, she had eaten
without drink Of any kind, the whole
sixty-four eggs! And, according to the
story, she was not made sick!
