in proper shape and, to the astonish-

boldly took possession of the board of
directors with a full majority of the
fitock. The sequel to tins proceeding
■was a cleverly-executed deal in Hale &

millionaires, attracted the respectful

Consolidated California & Virginia
mines.
Finally,when everything was in readi-
tiess for a deal, in uncovered’ February, 1883, the
Big Bona i a was to the as-
tonished world.
The body of ore revealed seemed to
surpass in extent the wildest dreams of
inodem gold-seekers, and the people of
California, as well as some of the East-
«rn cities became bereft of their pru-

“I can tell you how largo an audience
there is in the house any evening with-
out looking,” theater orchestra said the leader of a Broad-
way the other day.
“How?” interrupted a Star reporter.
“My violin bow tells the tale. When
the hou-e is full the moisture coming
b°in the audience lessens the tension ot
the hairs on the bow, and I am com-
veiled to tighten them many times dur-
ing an evening. If the air is dry, ol
course, this is avoided. N ou have no
idea how the sound of a violin is affected
by the weather. Damp atmosphere will
loosen and flatten the strings, and the
result is a screeching sound from the
instrument. The body of the instru-
meat is also affected by the atmosphere.
-Moisture gets into the wood and the
violin gives forih an unnatural tone. The
moisture thus lowers the pitch, and it is
exceeding di licult to keep the instru-
ment rightly tuned on a damp evening,
The wind instruments are affected in an
opposite metal, and way. the Dampness higher contract* th*
result is a pitch,

Gladstone’s Affection for Old Clothe?,
Mr. Gladstone is said to be so partial
to old clothes that his valet has the
greatest difficulty in persuading him to
don a new suit when it is ready for him.
Although the servant carefully lays the
t lothes out in the morning, the “grand
old man” persists in donning the old
ones. It ia only by removing thesfc at
night and leaving that nothing Gladstone but the new
ones in his room Mr. can
be persuaded to discard clothing that
has become positively shabby .—San

Poisoned by Burning Fur.
A singular case of wholesale poisoning
that came near proving fatal is reported
from the Morning Side Sohool, in Sioux
City, Iowa, Shortly taught by Miss Hattie Con-
niff. after sohool was called on
a recent forenoon a peculiar odor was
noticed, and searching for the source,
the teacher opened the door to the
oloset where the scholars kept their
wraps. A fur oap, belonging to one of
the boys, had fallen into a bucket con¬
taining hot ashes, and was sending off
clouds of smoke. The teacher seized
the bucket and started for the door, but
when half way across the room, was
into overcome the by the smoke, and dropped
nearest seat almost unconscious.
A boy then took the bucket, but at onoe
succumbed and fell to the floor. Twenty
of the pupils who sat where the smoke
reached them were deathly sick, and
were tenable to rise alone. By super¬
human efforts the teacher managed to
get the door open, and the fresh air re¬
vived her so she helped the children out
doors, where they lay on the gr ound in
agony. At the end of three h ours all
had recovered sufficiently to be taken
home, but were very weak. It is sup¬
posed ooloring that matter poison was the contained in the
of cap, and that it
waa set free by the burning.— Washing¬
ton Star.
Some Mexican Superstitions.
It is believed that the murderer who
has slain his victim with sword or dag¬
ger will escape if the body falls upon its
aide or back; but if the body falls face
downward, then the murderer surely
soon will be captured and put to death.
This belief is said to be so firmly rooted
among the people of northeastern Mexi¬
co that when a murdered man fall’s upon
his faoe his slayer makes no effort to es-
cape, and even sometimes voluntarily
surrenders himself to justice.
If a bride, while dressing for her
the wedding, blood is pricked by a pin so that
flows, great misfortune im¬
pends. If
two persons think of the same
thing at the same time, a soul is
loosed from purgatory.— Scribner’s Maga

Explorer Stanley.
The march of Stanley, the African ex¬
plorer, river from Lake the shores of the Congo
to Albert Nyanzais one of the
most wonderful achievements in the his¬
tory of exploration iu any part of the
world. No explorer has hitherto at¬
tempted franght so dangerous a journey——one
with inconceivable difficulties—
and the success of the expedition can
only be comparatively described by say¬
ing that Stanley has outdone himself.
He led his forces 2,000 miles in 160 days
through the dense African forest, braved
and savage hunger, enemies, endured agonies of thirst
and his was exposed to deadly fe¬
vers, total losses in his marching
force, up to the date of the letter from
him, were 190, out of a total of 889 men.
One of the great obstacles to his march
wus the hostlity of the Arab slave-dealers,
who persuaded many of his m6n to desert,
robbed and murdered the stragglers of
his party, and laid waste by fire large
tracks of country which he had to trav¬
erse. By his matchless generalship, his
indomitable pluck, his patience in endur¬
ing unutterable perils, Stanley has fairly
won the title of the greatest explorer of
this country, if not indeed of all in the
years since Columbus crossed the terror
inspiring western ocean.
A Great Scamp.
Some miscreant who will be a marked

contemptible and most scurvy trick on
the Chicago Freie Presse. At an early
hour yesterday morning the party above
alluded to broke a window in the office
and entered the composing apartments.
He did not come to steal anything, be¬
cause he was well enough posted not to
go near a newspaper office to pilfer, par¬
ticularly after the opulent editors and the
reportorial He wanted Vanderbilts had gone home.

was not discovered until several columns

At no other season does the human system so
much need the aid of a reliable medicine like
Hood's Sarsaparilla as now. The impoverished con¬
dition of the blood, the weakening effects of tks
long, cold winter, the lost appetite, and that tired
feeling, aU make a good spring medicine absolutely
necessary. Hood's Sars.pariUa Is peculiarly
adapted for this purpose, and increases in popular¬
ity every year. Give It a trial.
“Hood’* Sarssperl la la the cheapest medicine I
can buy."—F. R. Rizdict, Belleville. Ill
Tho Spring Medicine
“Every spring for years I hava made it a practice
to take from three to five bottles of Hood’s Sarsa¬
parilla. teoause I know it purifies the blood aad
thoroughly cleanses the syvtem of all impurities.
That languid feeling, sometimes ceiled 'spring
fever,’ will newer visit the system tha has been
properly oared for by this never-failing remedy,"—

AN HONEST DOCTOR,
finding his patient suffering from that most common of American maladies—
Bilious Dyspepsia, or, in other words, from Torpid Liver, associated with indi¬
gestion, advised him to go to the drug store and get Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery the •world-famed remedy for such ailments.
Golden Medical Discovery acts powerfully upon the Liver, and through that
great blood-purifying organ, cleanses the system of all blood-taints and impuri¬
ties, from whatever cause arising. It is equally efficacious in acting upon the
Kidneys, and other excretory organs, cleansing and strengthening them and
healing their diseases. As an appetizing restorative tonic, it promotes digestion
and nutrition, thereby building up both flesh and strength. It is the only
medicine of its class, guaranteed to benefit or cure, in all diseases for which
it is recommended, or money paid for it will be promptly refunded.

According to the reports from Ilodeida,
one of the largest ports of Arabia, on the
Red Sea, slaves are still smuggled across
from Africa in large numbers, and in
spite and of the activity of the British, French
Italian cruisers. It is charged that
the Turkish officers connive at the trade
and receive bribe money amounting to $2
a head on the slave importations. In this
part of Arabia, slaves from the Zanzibar
coast and the Soudan were formerly in¬
troduced in large numbers, finding em¬
ployment chiefly in the harems and at do¬
mestic service. The blockade has prac¬
tically cut off these sources of supply, and
most of the slaves now imported are
Galla and Abyssinian girls, who can be
taken to the coast at the narrow part of
the Red Sea and shipped across in a
night. for Most of these girls are destined
the harems, and the more attractive
among them sell at the comparatively
cheap rate of $120 to $300 apiece.
Tbe Episcopal bishop of Glasgow,
Scotland, inhibited Canon Wilber force
from talking temperance in the churches
of that diocese, because he co-operates
with the ministers of the Church of
Scotland in his work.
