MYSTERIOUS PATAGONIA. \n Unexplored and Almost Unknown * Land. funta Arenas in San Fran- Stern, wild, and inhospitable are the shores of Patagonia and the adjacent island of Tierra del Fuego. There have been few explorers who have penetrated into their unknown interiors, and the general knowl edge of these countries is necessarily con fined and of no reliable value. In the mid dle of summer the climate is cold, the winds bitterly cold, and|snow squalls frequent, so that the dark and long winters can be more easily imagined than described, In'theee inhospitable regions wander no otadic tribes, which manage to subsist on coat flesh and fish, bread being next to un known, and vegetation being of the scanti-' est. There is a-general impression that the Patagonian is a giant. I never saw one over five teet ten inches in height, and most of them were much shorter and on the average stunted. TheJfdjnales Jliave a muscular de velopment. equal to the males, and it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the sexes, owing to the masculine appear ance of the gentler sex, the women in most: cases sporting an incipient moustache and beard, which on the male never grows very luxunahtly. Both sexes dress alike. Bleak and cold as the climate is at best of times, the usual dress consists of the skin of some wild ani mal loosely wrapped around the body. Lit tle children can be seen running naked over the snow, their well-oiled brown skin appa rently impervious to the biting winds. Those savages wandering to the Chilian set tlement of Punta Areuqs (Sandy Point) have often been presented with various ar ticles of clothing, but as a rule the aborigi ne discards shirts and trousers upon the first opportunity. The Valparaiso sewing cir cles industriously continue contributing boxfuls of clothing, but it is a mystery what becomes of the garments. Most likely there are second-hand dealers who barter rum for the “duds.” As the Patagonian tribes are nomadic, their temporay dwellings consist of the branches of-trees interwoven so as to form a basket-work defense against the weather. Skins, old sails and blankets also give a shel ter which seems to content the tenants, who are notoriously indifferent to the comforts or discomforts of home. Fish, of course, forms the staple food, and it is thought that few inhabitants are in the interior, most living near the sea for the sake of its food and the wreckage which occasionally strews the coast. Many Horn bound vessels which have never been heard of have doubtless been lost on the Patagonian and Fuegan coasts, and nearly every native has some trophy cast up by the sea on their iron shores. There is a story of a crew having succeeded in getting ashore from a stranded vessel and being murdered by the savages, with the exception of the Captain’s wife, who is said to be still alive in the interior, dragging out a miserable existence as the wife of some dusky chief. Steamers passing through the Straits of Magellan are often met by the canoes of Indians, with women paddling, who eagerly look for ship’s bread or any other article thrown them. I noticed one set of Indians had a handsome ship’s boat, said to have be longed to some foundered vessel. The Patagonians are just one step re moved from Cannibals, but their neighbors —the Fuegans—are said to enjoy human flesh, and indulge in dreadful orgies over any prisoners or shipwrecked sailors who fall into their hands. The Terre del Fuegans represent the lowest type of humanity on the globe. They have no deity, no moral code, not one custom or habit which can be called intelligent. Of largo stature, some imposingly so, they are perfectly brutish in their instincts, without any redeeming at tributes which belong to the brute creation. On this terrible mass of barbarism the Church of England Missionary Society has tried to make some impression. The mis sionary, Mr. Bridge, has devoted his whole life to try and organize some kind of order among them. They have been taught to grow cereals and build houses, and two of the natives were taken to London, but the food work only extends for a short distance evond the mission settlement. Tierra del Fuego, from Magellan to Capo Horn, is a sea of mountains. Wild animals are rare and the onlylbirds aro the albatross, the sea gull, and the Cape pigeon. Half the missing vessels reported which have to go around the Horn are supposed to be lost on this barren island and nobody ever lives to tell the tale. Crossing over to Patagonia, we have Punta Arenas, more generally known as Sandy Point, a Chilian penal settlement and coal ing station Among the milder tempered and more intelligent Patagonians life in this little town, though lonely, is not without its attractions. The main street boasts of some substantial houses; there is a fort, Govern or’s residence, convict barracks and a re spectable custom house and jetty. The in habitants (aiwut 500) are a mixed population of Scotch, Chilian, English ana natives. Most of the English-speaking part of the settlement represent different houses in the fur trade. The Governor is polite and hos pitable and is always anxious to amuse the casual visitor to the best of his ability. A collection of rare skims, feathers and ostrich eggs meets the eye in every house. The convict establishment is well con ducted and the prisoners have a great deal of liberty. Here every nationality under the sun is represented, most of the foreigners undergoing their sentences for embezzle ment or fraud. Tho Chilians punish the above offenses very severely—a ten-year sentence being considered light. The even ings are passed in singing and dancing to the music of the übiquitous guitar. Kwr tile town are coal mines which pro duce a tolerably good fuel, but all minerals in this large country are waiting for capital and hardy workers who can defy hardship and brave dangers. Pntegonia is essential ly a mineral country. On the eastern coast the Argentine Republic encourages miners with liberal concessions and valuable privi leges, the result being the extraction of gold iu considerable quantities by rude means aud primitive methods. In this country there is virgin soil to work on, and in this respect it should offer better inducements than the abandoned mines of Peru and Bolivia, in which countries every native is a miner by instinct ami experience. Thu Chilian government, ever liberal in encouraging capital and immigration, would welcome and aid any enterprise which would tend to the opening up of mys terious Patagonia. The interior of the country consists of tablelands, with several ranges of hills trending in a Northwesterly direction. Innumerable lakes and streams are to be met with, which in the winter months are frozen up. The climate is about the same as the South of Alaska. Sandy Point is six days’ steam from Val paraiso by tlie fast mail boats. The scenery of the Straits of Magellan and Smith's Sound is magniiicent. Vegetation grows from the waters edge, terrace above terrace, their straight linos ever and anon broken by some lieautiful inlet into which on enormous glacier stretches, and the background composed of purple; then snow-clad mountains whicli throw Swiss Alps Pyrenees into insignificance, On a summer day such views keep,the traveler on deck from dawn till evoning, every turn and twist of the straits unfolding now panoramic effects to the artistic eye, as the steamer threads its way through intricate channels beyond soundings in some places, miles in breadth one moment, so narrow another that the trees almost touch the yards of the vessel on either side.

As though bent on business that would admit of no delay, a smart mail phaeton, in which were a well-dressed man and a boy in hvery, might recently have been seen to draw up in a hurry at a street corner in the Goswell road, and proceed to make prepara j£EL°£jS ’Wkable a kind that, ere as SS2L^hs^ had^ laps ® a nd ’ at least twenty persons had stopped to look on. The lad, hnvmg ahghted, stood at the horse’s head! wtuie the gentleman first of all withdrew irom beneath the driving seat what looked a 9? 8 * 1 bo* of birge size, and which he' ostentatiously displayed. i Ne *t, bo Produced a shfflalah, and, tak ng off his hat and turning back his cuffs,. he proceeded to wield it in a defiant manner, finally bringing it down with a sounding thwack on the lid of the japanned box. ..During these singular preliminaries he had not spoken one word. He continued to tap the in grim silence, and, mean while, the crowd about him had rapidly in creased. Then, his countenance gradually relaxing to an expression of affability, he laid aside the shillalah and remarked: 'Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to intro duce myself to you as the most famous chiropodist in Europe!” There was a general laugh at this, and a movement betokening rapid dispersion ou the part of his audience; but he promptly' arreted them by holding up one hand, and poising the bludgeon in the other. “Stop a minute, or you will miss an exhibition that, though I have given it hundreds of times in France, Germany and America, is a novelty m the streets of London. When I just now remarked that I was the most famous chiropodist in Europe, or anywhere else hi the civilized wqrld, I did not use the words as mere showmen’s patter. I stand here to prove it—to stand or fall literacy on the truth or falsehood of my assertion. To fall, ladies and gentlemen”—and down came the shillalah with a resounding ring on the lid of the irou box— “by as hard a blow as the strongest man among you can strike on my unprotected, head with this little bit of timber. You* laugh, gentlemen! You can afford to, since it is not your eraniums that are in jeopardy, and I cannot quarrel with you if it is your opinion that, if 1 am fool enough to get my skull cracked through making an empty boast, it serves ine right. But words with out deeds are but idle wind. The proof is the thing, and now for it. Most of those I see around me are working men. and I have no doubt that many of you are afflicted with that bane of human happiness—corns. I don’t seek for a mild case. What I want to operate on, on the spot, and without further parley or preparation, is the worst specimen of a corn that ever tormented a toe. Let the fortunate possessor of that corn step forward. Let him step up here into my phaeton—l have my implements with me—and with all eyes on me I will ex tract his corn, and that withbut causing him the slightest pain. And how, you ask me, will I convince you that the operation is a painless one? I will tell you. The per son who takes my word, and of whom I will not ask a fee or a single farthing, shall hold in his right hand this bludgeon while I ‘am relieving him, if I hurt him in the least —in the very least, mark me—l give him .full and free permission to hit me over the head with it as hard as he is able to.” 1 saw no reason for suspecting that it was a confederate who responded to the start ling proposal. He was an Irishman, and seemingly by occupation a bricklayer’s laborer, and though no doubt he was plagued with a bad corn, it is not impossible that an itching to handle the shillalah acted as an irresistible incentive to his accepting the bold chiropodist’s challenge. Unlacing his heavy boot, which was slit at the side, he mounted the phaeton, and the “little bit of timber” was at once politely handed to him, and with a serio-comic twinkle in his eyes the Irishman grasped it, first spitting in his fist. The corn doctor examined the affected toe through a magnifying glass, and, shrug ging his shoulders, observed: ‘Tasked for a tough specimen, and, by George, I’ve got one!” But he showed no disposition to back out of his bargain. Producing his knives, he knelt down, which brought the back of his head immediately under the uplifted shil lalah. There were by this time at least 100 onlookers, and even the policeman, who had come up evidently with the intention of making the crowd move on, became an in terested spectator. But the operator stuck unflinchingly to his task. I was not close enough to he an eye witness of the perform ance, but after two or three minutes of such prodigious txertion that the veins stood out on his perspiring forehead he rose to his feet, holding up to public view, and impaled on the point of his lancet, what might or might not nave been a corn—a something as large as a pea, with thready roots to it. “Did I hurt you?” he demanded of the Irishman. “Divil a bit,” was the delighted patient’s reply, “and the pain’s clane gone.” “Of coarse it has, and will never come back again. And now, ladies and gentle men, perhaps you think I am going to call up the next person who wished to be operated on. I would do so, but I can be of greater benefit to you. I can sell you a salve (here he unlocked the iron chest) that will eradicate your corns as completely as though they were extracted with the knife, and without the danger at tending that process, and the price is only twopence the box. I have risked a broken head to prove to you that I am not a quack, but a skilled professional, and you will please yourself as to whether you will risk twopence in buying what I have to sell you.” In less than a quarter of an hour about fortv boxes were disposed of, and with the monev thus neatly netted the com c-urer rattled off in the mail phaeton to seek pastures new. QUEER PHENOMENON EXPLAINED. How Dawho Lake Was Poisoned By a Hail Storm. From a Herald Special. Columbia, S. C., June 25.—Tho story of the poisoning of Dawho lake, Georgetown county, by a hail storm, us recently de scribed, has been corroborated in every par ticuiar by a prominent citizen of George town who has investigated the matter at of Gen. Grecly, chief of tho weather service. A dense mass of black gum trees surround the lake on all sides. It is well known that the leaves of those trees are strongly impreg nated with tannic acid. It has also been as certained that the bottom of the lake con tains a slight deposit of iron. The poisoning of the water, therefore, is thus explaained: The bail storm tilled the lako with bruised leaves and small branches from the trees, the tannic acid emanating from which min gled with tho iron and formed tannate of iron causing the water to turn black as ink and Litter as quinine and poisoning the fish 'specie of the fish inhabiting this lake survived the singular disaster, and that was the mud thh, which buried itself in the nmd at tho bottom aud thus escaped the ef fects of tho poison. , , . The stench arising from the mass of dead and rotten fish is described as fearful. Tho ’thousands of buzzards in taking their de parture in tho evening dor their roosting nlace after a day’s feast are described as nmking a noise similar to that of an ap- end of Dawho Lake, aljout half a mile distant, is a small lake in which num ber, offish abound, .but which upni exami nu iif in show no signs of the hailstorm whk‘h swept “vei Dawho. This confirms the belief that the direct cause of tho dis aster to tho fish is due to the hailstorm. The Engadine Rrmouet Atkinson's new perfumo. This distillation sweetly .ums fragrant “JEi flower*.

A Decidedly Unoomfortable Night for the Park Family. A dispatch from Park Ridge, N. J., to the New York World says: William Park and his family narrowly escaped death last night at the hands of an insane man, Charles Sage, who was dismissed last week from the asylum for the insane at Flat bush, L. 1., supposed to be cured .from on attack of in sanity that came on about a year ago. Park, whose wife is a sister to Sage, invited the latter to come to his home here, about a mile from Park Ridge station, hoping that the country air would do him good. The room occupied by Sage was on the ground floor, adjoining’ that used by Mr. Park, his wife and one child. To get from the one room to the other it is necessary to go through the kitchen and dining-room. A noise in one of these rooms between 1 and 2 o’clock last night awakened Mr. Park, and when he got his eyes opened and ac customed to the dim light of the night lamp he saw Sage standing at the edge of the bed, with his arm raised and a large butcher knife, with a 13-inch blade, grasped in his hand. The man hesitated to strike until Park, recovering from his first fright, said: “Charlie, do you want anything?” The head of the bed stood toward and near the door of the room, which opened inward, so that from Park’s position be could easily reach the edge of the door, beside which the insane man stood. Before the latter could reply to the question Park slammed the door against Sage, kuocking him down. Following up this advantage ne pushed the prostrate man out of the room and locked the door. In the chamber directly over Mr. Park’s rooms slept his wife’s sister and his eldest daughter. Mr. Park called out to them, telling them of the danger at hand aud di recting them to lock and Tjarricade their bedroom door. Sage made his way up stairs, and when he found the door locked he began to utter terrific yelis, cursing and threatening those wjio lmd escaped his knife. Returning to Mr. Park’s room, he endeav ored to hurst in the door, but Mr. Park had placed the bedstead against it. Sage stuck, bis long knife several times through the thin panels of the door, calling out: “I will have you yet.” While the insane man was trying to gain an entrance Mr. Park assisted his wife aud child out of a window, telling them to hurry to' his nearest neighbor, Henry Bishop. Mr. Bush and his son Alfred has tened to the Park house, and, after consult ing with Park, decided that the son should go to Montvale for ’Squire Garret F. Her ring and Constable John A. Blauvelt, while the father assisted the two women im prisoned upstairs. Before the arrival of the officers the women got out of a window to the roof of the kitchen and from there to the ground. Wh en the officers arrived those on the premises had captured and. disarmed the insane man. Sage was handcuffed and taken to the Montvale station, where papers were made out by the ’Squire committing him to the county jail at Hackensack for assault. Constable Blauvelt took the pris oner by the first train to the county seat. By the time the man reached the jail he seemed more quiet. PAIN KILLER.
