Ural lllstoYy, where \he weight is given at 2.105 ounces, and the value at $11,- ! 822.70; the further information is im parted that the nugget is the largest piece of gold ever found. This is an error. A larger nugget was found at Bendigo lead on February 9, ISO ». It weighed 189 pounds one ounce Trov, or 2,200 ounces. I had been mentally congratulating myself on the discovery of a umrget .‘is large as a walnut, but’the sight of all this mass of gold took all the conceit out of mo. Nevertheless, I was glad the nugget had been found, for the claim from which it was taken was right in the direction in which we were working, and our claim was daily growing richer in ore. The ‘‘Welcome Nugget,” as large as it wan, did not enrich its finders, fi r the e were twelve shareholders in it, and it brought them less than $1,000 apiece. It would have been a lucky find for a couple of mates. The man who dug it out fainted dead away before he in earthed it. When his’pick first -truck it, he reached out liis hand to pick up the lump; the light from his candle shone upon it ana revealed its nature. To his surprise it did not yield to his touch. Then he began to feel around it with his hands, and it grew in size un der his exploring digits. He gave it a wrench, but it did not budge. .S izing his pick, ho began to dig around it. and as its proportions grew under his eve tiio spectacle overcame him, and he fainted for joy. Early Use of Bells. It is evident that the earliest use of bells in churches was to summon the congregation; but superstition soon en listed them into her service. It then became customary at their consecration to pray that they might be endowed with power to drive away devils and dissipate thunder storms, hail and tempests. In. tin-opinion of those who originated the practice, the evil spirits were the cause of foul weather, and being terrified at the «aint!y sounds of the hells, they pre cipitately fled. In parish accounts ir. the fifteenth century, bread, cheese, ami boor, are charged for the refresh ment of the ringers during " thunder- ing-.” Ro late ns 1852, the Bishop of Malta ordered all the church bells to !»e rung for an hour to allay a irale.

Fifteen hundred per il kn< ‘ ▲ Girl With « Buttermilk Cow. Miss Winterblossom, of Murray Hill, has seen the summer roses bloom and fade again at Saratoga, Newpoit, Long Branch, and other fashionable summer resorts. She herself has bloomed until there is ths faintest trace of fading. “The doctor told ’ma,” said Miss Winterblossom to her bosom friesd, Miss Kntawba Jones, “ that I needed increased oxygenation. A farm in the country was the place to get abundance of fresh milk, butter, eggs, and the other things that grow in the country, you know.” This was one day of the present week when both ladies happened lo be in town for the purpose of shopping. Misa Katawba Jones at once noticed that her dear friend waa badly sunburnt. “My!” she aaid, “ain’t you tanned, Emma, dear!” “Do you think it becomes uie? Chaney says it does—just a- lovely brown, he says. You know he is always raving about the olive skins of the tunny South.” being of the fact that Miss Winterblossom had a beau, a luxury not jmssessed by Miss Jones, the latter lady promptly refused to make her friend happy by asking who and what this Charley was. Miss Jones •hanged the subject. • Do tell me, Kmma, about the life on tL farm. Did you learn how they made milk and all'those things that papa insists are so much bettor ou a farm than anywhere else?’’ • Yes, dear, 1 saw it all; it's not much.” Miss Winterblossom was not pleased, because her friend iguored the exbteuce of her Charles. i saw them obtain milk; eggs grow, I suppose, for they had to look a good deal to find them. The only thing l did not see was the buttermilk cow. 1 suppose you have tasted buttermilk?’’ “No, I never tasted it, but I suppose it is a compound of butter and milk—a sort of country desert. I have always heard papa say that milk was obtained from cows—he was from the country, you know—but I never had the faintest idea of the process; something simple enough, 1 presume.” “I don’t think it is so simple, cither, for while the girl, Mary, was able to pull a whole pailful of milk from a cow, when 1 tried, with all my strength, nothing came. And more than that, tiiAsavage cow struck me a violent blow with one of her limbs and then ran away. Charley said it was a wonder the brute didn't turn and eat me on the spot. He said the only safe cow for me to approach was the’buttermilk cow.” •• Well, did you muster sufficient cour age to attack that animal also?” ••Certainly I did. I desired Mary to show me tiie buttermilk cow as soon as f had recovered my feet from the attack of that other cow. The girl laughed and said I had better wait till some other time when the gentlemen were not around, but 1 insisted upon being shown the ^uimal then and there. The gentlemen all laughed because i was so courageous. I felt certain the animal could not be as vicious as the other cow, because Charley had intimated as much. However, I didn’t have an opportunity to do so, then, because, as Mary said, the buttermilk cow was not then with the others, but was at the house. The n<*xt day 1 asked Mr, Filbert, the farmer, to please permit me to pull the butter milk cow. He stared at me, and said he guessed it must be tafly. You have no idea how much afraid those country people are of being guyed by city folks. But when we return in September 1 shall be able to tell you everything about this mysterious animal—the buttermilk cow. Good-bye, dear.” “Good-bye.” The ladies kissed and parted. Misa Katawba Jones, commenting on Miss Winterblossom, reached the following conclusion: “i$o she has got a beau, and, goodness knows, she has been long enough about it. 1 wonder, now, if that buttermilk cow isn’t some iokc they have been playing on her ? I'll ask papa about it when 1 get home.” And she did; but she wishes now she had not done it.

They speak and pray for crackers, the concierge interfi *, the police our troubles; they inform heaven of tho P® 1 necessity of earth.” “ If tills’ lie true.” cecdmcJea says a writer, “ there is mor< in* the clapper of a bell than tongue of a priest.” Tiic first actual fire hell was hung the church of Hherlnirno, England, 1G52.

Mrs Sarah Kay, an old Irish washer- j woman, who was among the earliest seD tiers, has a somewhat romantic history, ller stock in trade when she came con sisted of a pair of tubs and a washboard. She began business under an old pine tree ou the hillside, having no means of hiring a house. She soon, however, got together, with her own hand*, a rude c/.biv.. *>nd as business was good at $2.50 pi» dcAci. :or washing, she gradually began to provide for her wants. tSlie got a camp stove, and after furnishing her cabin comfortably, began to accumulate money. The town began to grow in the direction of her cabin, A :;*i if; v *t /. while she employed laborers to pui uv t log house. As there was a great acmar.d for m ners’ boarding houses, Mrs. Kay concluded to abandon the washtub and start a hoarding-house in a now edifice. In this idea she received great encour agement, and the house was opened with flattering prospects. In this venture she proved to lie very successful, made money, and finally saved it. By the growth of the city her house got to be in the very center, and, as tho streets were laid out, it proved to occupy n location on the corner of Harrison av enue and State street. Business was g*>od, mid she continued to make money, which she invested wisely. She built another log house and rented it. Then she put up a frame building, which she rented before it was finished. About this time some of the land-grabbers dis puted her title to the land, and tried to dis|K>sscss her. But the old lady lmd so many determined friends among the miners that the effort was given up. Several months ago she refused un offer of $10,000 for her projierty, and since that time has built a two-story block fronting on Harrison avenue, ami us de sirable a piece of property as any in Leadville. t*he still lives in her log house, but she now intends to tear it dowu and erect a two-story block in its place. When her improvements have wen completed she will have un income of more than $1,000 a month-a pretty good record of business success tor au old washerwoman. A Detective Story. Mr. Baron Huddleston told the follow ing story at the Flintshire Assizes, Eng land, where a question of identity arose in a charge of horse stealing:* We al ways ought to be very careful, his Lord ship said, in cases of this kind, because mistakes might be made by the most well- meaning persons. When I was on the Oxford Circuit, there was a friend of mine at the bar who went on a fishing expedition in the Principality. He had a horse with him, and during the day ho took it to an inn in a town to bait. Mean while, he walked down the street quietly, inspecting the shops. He was closely followed by an inspector of police, anti all at once he found himself the object of attention at the hands of this official. After walking after him a good way down the town, the officer at last went un to him and said, “ It’s no use your making any nonsense about it it. Yon are Flash Bill.” The member of the bar and of the Oxford Circuit was horrified, but tho police officer said. “ It’s no use; 1 know you perfectly well,” and lie pulled out a Police Gazette, in which there was a de scription which, I am bound to sav, fully justified the officer in suspcc ing him. “ And,” he added. “ there is the very horse you have stolen up at the stable.” And it was with great difficulty he was taken before a magistrate that day. He always mentions the story with very great gratitude to the magistrate who was induced to leave his dinner—lie thought first he had better he remanded for a few days to get witnesses down, but ultimate!/ did leave Lis dinner—and ho was convinced by the earnestness of the gentleman that the policeman had made a mistake. The next train brought his friends from the neighborhood, and they satisfied the magistrate that there was a mistake made. To this day this gentle man tells the story. lie now holds the dignified position of Deputy Chairman of Quarter Sessions, and he says he lias occupied every position in the Court;he has been a juryman, a judge, a witness, and a prisoner. Janinn. .Tanina, the modern capital of Epirus which is now becoming a cause of quar rel between Greece and Turkey for the second time within three years, has been a source of disquietude to the latter from time immemorial. Its formidable prominence, however, was attained about half a century ago, wkon tlx? famous Albanian chief, Ali Tebellin, chose it as his capital on renouncing his allegiance lo the Sultan, in the hope of making Epirus an independent State.

Thc innova lion has been recently introduced in the great Vienna establishments. A litho graphed newspaper, published in the in stitution, is contributed to by the inmates. Those patients for whom this slight nu n tal exertion can only be beneficial send articles and essays on questions of the day, and it is only fair to say that it would be a comfort to readers if some of the matter published in the Vienna newspapers, by people generally consid ered sane, were as clever and well wriU ten as some of these letters. Those who arc afflicted with any monomania may ventilate their delusion ami support theii convictions by argument and example in the columns of this extraordinary paper. The logic employed in un article in n recent number (says a correspondent) bv one gentleman to disprove the belief of another, that his beard was of heath, and required constant watering was faultless and incisive as to have do credit to a Regius professor of rut philosophy.

He promised his mother that he would write a good long letter, describing his trip and hoard ing place, etc. A week went by, and his poor mother was nearly distracted when she got the following inferestinj letter from him: “I am here, i,nd swapped my watch for a pup, and lie is the bow pup; and I went in swimmin' fourteen times yesteiday. and a feller stole my pocket-hook, uml I want som money; and I shall bring my pup home. 1 HAlmks, like a good apple, is growing mellow as he ripens with the gathering New Worda. • While many words once in common use are now nearly obsolete, few person* are aware how large a number of new words arc constantly coming into our language.

There are many women to-day thirst ing for the word of praise, the language of eucouragcmeut. Through summers beat and winter’s toil they have drudgod uucomnluingly; and so accustomed have tueir fathers, brothers, and hus bands Income to their monotonouslabors, that they look for and upon them as they do upou the daily rising of the sun, and iu daily going down. Homely every day life may be made beautiful by on appre ciation of its homeliness. You know that if the floor is clean, manual labor has been performed to make it so. Yon know that if you can taks from your drawer a clean shirt whenever you want it, somebody’s lingers have ached in the toil of making it so fresh and agreeable, so fresh and lustrous. Everything that pleases the eye and thc sense has been produced by constant work, much thought, great care and untiring efforts, bodily anil mental. It is not that many men do not appre ciate these things, and feel a glow of gratitude for the numberless attentions bestowed upon them in sickucss and in health, but they are so selfish in that feeling. They don’t come out with a hearty “ Why, how pleasant you make things look, wife,” or, “ l*m much obliged to you for taking so much pains.” They thank the tailor for giv ing them “fits;” they thank the man in a full omnibus who gives them a seat; they thank the young lady who moves along in the concert; in short, they thank everybody uud everything out of doors, because it is the custom, and they come home, tip their chairs back and heels up, pull out the newspaper, grumbles if wife asks them to take the baby, scold if the tire has gone down, or, if everything is just right, shut their mouth with a smack of satisfaction, but never mj to her, “ J thank you.” I tell you what, men—young men and old—if you did but show an ordinary civility towards those common articles of housekeeping, your wives; if you gave the one hundred and sixth pari of the compliments you almost choked them with before they were married; if you would stop your badingsabout whom you are going to have when number one is dead (such things wives may laugh at, but they sink deep sometimes); if you would cease to speak of their faults, however banteringly, before others, fewer women would seek for other sources of happiness than your affection. Fraiso your wife, then, for all the good qualities she has, and you may rest as sured that her deficiencies are fully counter-balanced by your own. Hovr Much a Menagerie Costa. It may be interesting to a large class of readers to know just what a menagerie would cost them. There are, no doubt, says the Detroit Free Press, many deserv ing people in this country who would like to add a tiger or hyena to their list of household pets, if ’they only knew where these docile creatures could Ik obtained, and what" tho expense wouu. be. England docs a large trade in wild animals, and they are rather cheaper there than in this country. Still, the unhandiness of getting them here more than makes up thc difference. Don’t expect to get snakes and such thiugs by mail; they dislike to be.stamped by the active clerk, and the clerk generally feels embarrassed when the package breaks open. A tiger at a lion can be 4ad for $400 each; $15<^ct.s a very good aiticiR of Icop.ml, altliuugli $100 will buy an inferior kind; black panthers cost $750; clouded tigers come as high as $1,500, pnd economy would suggest a aring investment in animals of his iss; a Ivnx in England costs $50, but they can lie had for nothing in Canada. One hundred and twenty-five dollars will get a polar bear, and $50 a brown bear; a brown bear is just as satisfactory as the others and much cheaper; sloths cost $50, but you can get plenty of them in America sitting arounu groceries and talking politics; $25 gets a good wolf, although many persons can get them cheaper—in fact, they have hard work keeping the wolf from the door. Aard wolves cost as much as $500, no doubt because they arc sc Aard to get. Monkeys cost r>»m $2 up lo $500. Of course for the Fatter price a regular Darwin can he had. A zebra will cost you $500. Be sure and get one of the right stripe. Kangaroos cost from $50 to $300. Feed them on hops. Every family needs an elephant, and will be pleased to know that one three stories nigh can be bought for the trifle of $1,500. A two-story elephant costs$760, a cottage elephant costs $000, while any amount of shanty elephants, for parlor pets, can be bought for $300. Now we come to luxuries. A rliinocerous should not be indulged in unless the purchaser has a good bank account. A very or dinary rhinoceros costs $2,000, while a pretty desirable article comes to $5,000. A person must have the rhino to indulge in a rhinoceros. Now go ahead anu make your selections. “ You pays your money and takes your choice.” Influence of Greenbacks. He looked like a man who might have had fifteen cents last fall, but who had used the last of it weeks ago. When ho •at down in thc restaurant the waiters paid no heed to him, and he rapped several times before a colored man slid that wav. “ I want fried oysters,” said thc man, as he looked over thc bill of fare. “ l>ey is jist out, fried oysters is,” re plied the waiter. “ Bring me a chicken, then.” “ Dere isn’t a chicken in de place.” “ Got any venison?” inquired the man. “ Not an inch, sail.” “ Any ham and eggs?” “ No, sail.” “Bee hero,” said tho man, getting vexed, “ I want a square meal. I’ve got the ducats right here, and I can pay for my dinner and buy your old cooxshop besides.” Hc lifted a big roll of greenbacks out of his pocket, shook it at the darkey and continued:— “ Have you a chicken?” “ Yes, sail, I guess so, sah ; I have de biggest kind o’ belief dat since we com menced to talk a chicken has blown into lie kettle an’ been cooked. And now al>out dat venison and dose fried oysters —dey has also arrived.” Milk for Bl ight’s Disease. A physician suffering with Bright’s disease, and weighing 155 pounds, began in June, 1878, to restrict himself exclu sively to a milk diet, taking one quart at each meal, or three quarts daily. He reports that no trace of his former ailment is perceptible at the present time, that he has gained thirty pounds in flesh, and this notwithstanding con stant attention to professional duties, both day and night Next to a klear konshience for solid comfort cuins an easy boot Try both. family, $5 s&'ja so; cnoiee to fancy, $5 6(XS| 6 15.
