It is generally believed in the West that to Fair’s sagacity and B’onderful knowledge of quartz mining were due the first in- terest taken by the bonanza firm in the 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- dencc. The bonanza—which is the miner’s idiom for a chimney or chute in which the sulphurets have gathered and settled —was ut at a point 1 Iff 7 feet below the surface. and pierced again as the shaft Went down to the 1200-foot level.

Although the servant carefully lays the t lothes out in the morning, the “grand old man” persists in donning the old ones.

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.

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 man if he is ever discovered, played a 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.

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.
