j. A. Hoff, Viennese gentleman travel
ing for pleasure in the United States, said
yesterday, at a we'll known restaurant,
general indignation has been aroused in
Vienna on account of the sermons of
Father Decker;, the Jew-baiter, among ell
classes of the population outside of the
Anti-Semite party. 1t tends to show how
deeply the mischievous Ant-Semite propa-
ganda has taken root among the small
bourgeois element. Those influential per-
sonages to whose secret encouragement
the Anti-Semite movement owes.its devel-
opment, now witness, with surprise and
dsmay, the great evil which they have con-
tributed to bring about 1t is, at all events,
already beyond their control, and before
long it will be turned against them. In the
lower Austrian diet DR.. Lueger and his
colleagues have attacked the privileges of
the upper classes in connection with the
game laws, and have advocated the aboli-
ton of the right to preserve all game. His
argument was that the crops of the small
farmers were extensively damaged by the
large amount of preserved game. He
could have hit upon nothing better calcu-
lated to forfeit all sympathy among the
sport-lovng Austrian aristocracy. Be-
sides his plea is entirely false. The peas
ants in Austria mako a very nice profit
annually out of the indemnity assessed
them by a lccal committee appointed for
the purpose. The -haiters will be
hoist with their own petard.
Last Tuesday the feat of walking on the
sea was very successfully accomplished in
Boston harbor, said Sam w. HoIdredge, a
well-known eastern sporting man. Charles
w. Odrieve of Chelsea walked on the
water from India wharf to Boston light for
a not nf tn ISL, aG
the feat in six hours, and won the wao er.
He star ed from the wharf at a little before
] / o'clock, and, Notwithstanding n nasty
sea and the intense cold, he reached Brew
sters, just opposite the light. at half past
three. A boat which accompanied the
daring water pedestrian, had hard time
of it. He not only won his bet, but an adj
diiional one of S100 for accomplishing it
within the six hours, besides many outside
bets at long shots. His total winnings
were not far from $500.
Dan J. Mullarlly, mining man, said he
was in receipt OF q letter from his brother
in Hermosillo, Mex, saying that party
of five gold prospec tors VINO left that place
last month to expire the interior of Iibu-
ron island are supposed to have met q
dreadful fac at the hands of the Seris
tribe of Indians, who ihhabit that place.
Six men started originally, but one of them
has return with the news that the In
dians captured them all. and preparations
were at once made to kill and cook them,
but he managed to escape. He believes
that all the other members of the party
be very rich mines on the island, as all the
natives, oven the little children, wore
heavy gold ornaments.

Idaho, who is visiting friends on Hope

nocks had been brewing for a long time, in
consequence of the attempted enforcement
of laws protecting game, which the Indians
resist Jim Ballard, the leader. is bad
man and utterly reckless. He should have
been in the penitentiary long ago, added
Mr.. Partridge, and immediate protection
should be afforded to settlers at Blackfoot
and Rose Fork, as the Indian police are
incompetent and untrustworthy. The
girls in the Indian school at Rose Fork
would suffer rough treatment should an
outbreak occur. Mr.. Partridge is engaged
in gold mining in the neighborhood and is
thoroughly familiar with the subject. lie
speaks very enthusiastically of The future
Of gold mining in Idaho, under the new
process.
Sol. M. LYONS of Albuquerque, N. NJ,
told story illustrative of tho fascination
there is in seeking to uuearth hidden
i
of Chilli, about forty miles from Albu-
uuerque, intense excitement exists over q
search for gold. Some time ago a camp of
Gipsys was established on the outskirts of
the little town. The chief of the band told
several Mexcans that by digging in cer-
tain direction they would come upon
cedar post, from which point he would fur
ther direct them to snot where Golfer
is buried containing S3,000,000 in gold
coin. The chief and his band left for
Gran Quivera, and told the men not TO at
tempt to seek for the post until his return
in few days. But avarice overcame
everything else and they went to work,
finding the post in the very exact spot in.
dicated by the Gipsy, the work was pushed
on rapidly. and they have unearthed the
walls of Il prehistoric dwelling-in fact,
have probably discovered a buried Indian or
Spanish city. as all the present indications
point in that direction. Everybody who
has or can get shovel is madly digging,
and each one hopes he will be the fortunate
man to find the buried treasure. The
wealthy sheep ranchers in the vicinity have
caught the fever and have gangs of men at
work for them.
DR.. " Barrett, professor OF archtn ology
in the University Of Milan, said that tue
science was deeply indebted to the late
Senator Fiorelli for his deep learning and
for the wonderful way i'll which he had

or of the excavations in 1S45, and re-
manned at his post five years. On the
foundation of the kingdom of United Italy
in 1860 he was made inspector OF antiqui-
ties and professor of archaeology in the
University of Naples, and directed the ex-
cavations in Southern italy. He was in
1875 made director general of all the mu-
seums in the kingdom. He was member
OF many learned societies in Eng land and
the United States, and with DR.. Barrett
made several Investigations of early In
dian remains. Both learned gentlemen
have many friends in Los Angeles and
vicinity.
Prof. +. J. Martin of Hartford, who ia
touring Southern California with his fami-
ly, and is quite an expert photographer,
showed the reporter some extraordinarily
fine pictures, whose delicate softness of
outline and beautiful shading were remark
able. He said that some time ago he be-
gan experimenting with the old-fashioned
fluoro,ype process, invented by Robert
Hunt in lS44, and making some inquiries,
succeeded in getting a paper from an cast
ern manufacturer that helped him to get
such good results. He courteously gave
the formula as follows Two solutions must
be prepared. one containing twenty grains
of bromide of potassium to one ounce of
water, and the other five grains of fluoride
of sodium to the same quantity of water.
