The bishop of southern diocese
was once making a missionary Jour.
ney through Arkansas and the Indian
territory, and on his arrival at Match
ez he said to the landlord of hotel,
Il have been travelling for week,
day and night, in a mail wagon, and
want a comfortable ROOM"
Sorry" said the landlord, "but
don't believe there's vacant room In
Natchez; there's horserace, a
Methodist conference and a political
convention in the city, and every
house is full up. The only thing | can
give you is shakedown." Then OBJ.

added, "The best room in my house is
rented to noted gambler who usual.
ly remains out all night and seldom
gets in before breakfast. If you will
take the risk, you shall have his
room; but If he should come in
therell be row, I'll promise you
that"
The bishop decided to take the risk.
About four o'clock in the morning the
gambler returned and promptly shook
the bishop by the arm.
Get out of here, or I'll put you
Quit" he shouted
The bishop, the gentlest of men,
raised himself on one elbow, so that
it brought the muscles of his arm
into full relief.

fore you put me out, will you have the
kindness to feel of my arm?"

GAMBLING In Funerals.

A curious point was disclosed in the
house of lords debate on the assur-
ance companies bill. Lord st. Aid.
wyn said that under the existing law
which had never been Observed
policies to meet the funeral expenses
OF parent were illegal.
There has grown up, he said, sys-
tenn under which collectors had visit
ed houses and persuaded women to in
sure sum to cover the funeral ex-
penses of persons in whom they had
no insurable interest. The whole thing
was really gamble.
Lord Hamilton Of Dalzell (for the
governmenD said that the position
both of policy holder and companies
might be very unfortunate unless leg
islation took place such as was pro-
posed. There was danger that some
thing like panic, with disastrous re-
suits, might ensue. The government
has been in communication with the
collecting societies and industrial as
surance companies, who, having had
a very great fright in consequence of
recent legal decisions, undertook that

hole they found themselves in they

ished he might find other means to land else
where with the rest, which would be sufficient for
making his observations, l embarked then in
the long boat with my four sailors, steering di-
rectly for the coast; the nearer we approached 1t
the more sensible of the difficulty OF
landing
We constantly thrown back by the accu-
mulated waves, and our boat threatened all the
while to ship water. When the point of losing
courage, one of the sailors discovered, at dis
tance, the mouth of an unknown river. This dis
covery animated us; reached the coast by this
mouth but with great difficulty. I sent back the
long boat for the Abbe Chappe and the Spanish
astronomers, who arrived safely enough.

my country this valuable depot I remained in
my condition of sickness, pain and wretchedness

At last the captain of the vessel arrived; he

so much the greater in seeing him that he pressed
me to quit the fearful place where M. Liable

Show Ancient Mining Methods.

The reopening Of the quicksilver
mines near Konia, in Asia Minor,
which were abandoned centuries ago.
Is the subject of an article in the cur
rent number of Prometheus. in which
the report of Frederick Sharpless is
quoted at length. This shows that in
the abandoned mines, together with
the so skeletons which were found,
there were lamps, clay, hammers and
other tools made of stone, quantity
of charcoal and several arrows with
some points. This whole interesting
find" the writer says, "gives one an
idea of the methods employed in min

lected to accompany him and we set sail for Mex.
leo in the month of September, 1858
After a perilous voyage of about 5000 leagues,
we arrived in Mexico on Easter day, 1863. Time
was passing we stopped but eight days to
fresh ourselves. The viceroy procured us mules
and provisions, and undertook to perform by
land part of the remainder of our travels, which
was about 800 leagues. Amid lofty mountains,
dreadful precipices and arid deserts, we encoun-
tered new dangers every day. We failed from
fear thousand times. We were also oppressed
by the excessive heat, which left hardly
strength enough to drag ourselves. thousand
insects of every species gave us no rest by day or
night and we had constantly to be on our guard
against the very ferocious beasts with which the
country is covered. Moreover we lacked the nee
essaries of life for the provisions that we got in
Mexico had been spoiled by the heat. We were
obliged to live wild cattle and whatever fruits
we could find here and there We made our halts
near some river spring. that We might slake
the burning thirst with which we were constantly
consumed; to find one 1t was often necessary to
march whole days journey.
Arrived in the evening in some valley, or on
the side of some hill, we would endeavor to take
upon the ground let la belle etoile), the repose
which our cruel fatigue rendered 80 necessary.
When scarcely asleep we were often aroused by
a storm, and then by the impetuous torrents that
came down upon us from the heights OF the noun
tains Many dark night we had to save our
selves and our equipage, fearful at every step OF
tumbling down some of the precipices.
After running a thousand risks we arrived at
last at the port of San Bias on the Pacific ocean:
thence we embarked for California on brigan-
tine which the viceroy of Mexico had had pre-
pared. The Pacific ocean, although very tran
quill is not the less dangerous on account OF the
ivigies) with which 1t is filled.
The great calm which prevailed at that time
caused us to despair of arriving in time to accom-
plish the object of our voyage. After six weeks
sailing during which we made but $50 leagues,
cn the greatest breadth of the sea, the shortness
ct the time caused US to risk hazardous exploit
The part of California near which we found our
selves was the port of San Jose-so dangerous
that no one had ever landed there. The access to

impetuously against the rocks.
The Spanish astronomers who were of our COM
pany wished to wait for favorable wind to land
at Cape st. Lucas, which was distant but ten
leagues The landing there is indeed less danger
ous but did not follow their advice because
were pressed to arrive at the place of our des-
tination; we resolved to attempt to disembark at
the first land we should discover.
While these gentlemen were yet deliberating,
four Indian sailors and myself let down the long
boat: we took with us half of the instruments
