She intends to go next to the New Mexico Pueblos, and thence ; to the Flatheads of Washington Ter ritory. The Han Francisco Call advises her to take in the Piutes and Diggers on her way. Life with them would give her new ideas of the nobility of the Indian character. New York is imitating California in her war upon the Chinese, and is object¬ ing strenuously J to the low and ignorant character of Italians who are being crowded into that city. They come from the poorest Provinces south of Naples, aud there is often grave suspicion that they are sent by Italian municipalities glad to get rid of them. On their arri val tho adults of both sexes become street scavengers, and their children grow up in filth v cellars or crowded attics, -Tierodecency,,nd«»» are utterly out of the question. With short crops and debts Georgia farmers arc said to be greatly distressed, so that they cannot plant the isual acre ago of cotton. They cannot buy guano or phosphate for the crop nor wait for tbe lato returns, and aro driven to tho raising of an unusual quantity of pro visions. It is thought that the produc tion of small grains this year will he twice as large as in 1880, a*wl larger than ever before in the history of the State, and Borne say that if the disaster their last year gets the farmers out of cot ton-planting 1 b rut into mixed crop raising, it will be a real blessing in disguise. ____^___ Jesse James, the notorious outlaw, was reported the other day to have been captured, but the report lacked confirma tion. The report also stated that during the battle that occurrod as an accom paniment to his capture, James killed nine men. When wo came to that of tho dispatch wo thought that porlia{>s there was some truth in tho story, be cause that sounded about right, but still this James has been captured so many times, when ho was away off in some other part of the country, that the public has lost all confidence iu the matter, and can hardly over expect now to get even with him Thkbe are from ten to twelve thousand exils sent to Siberia annually, and of this number about one-half of one p cent, ordin, ara political w-Jto'LS offenders. < v .' i Tt£.. ?\ . „ , M *“ , *«; 1 1<kbor - On an average 400 women rad J children accompany each 1,000 exihs, aiul 1,000 of the oonvicts escape yeafij to European Russia.

It is most ac¬ tive iu the rural districts. A hundred thousand portraits of the Counte do Cliambard, surrounded by liis kingly an¬ cestors, have been put in circulation, and immense quantities of others wore ordered. The bankruptcy of the Union General© has suddenly arrested tho agi¬ tation. Most of the great Legitimists and Fusiouista are ruined or discredited. Ten thousand portraits of Henry V., whieh were intended for La Vendee, have been, according to Estafette, seized in one of the faubourgs of Paris, where they were lithographed. A charming little romance has oc¬ curred iu Georgia. In a mountain vil¬ lage near Dalton a young lady, the belle of the place, was about to leave for a fe¬ male institute in a neighboring town to complete her education. She had a lover, young, handaome and talented, who, from timidity, had not pressed Ilia and with tears in her orbs she was bid dingadien to her friends, the tardy lover realized that “faint heart never won fair lady,” and he requested an interview 1', ere ii .,1“ was too late This was trranted g ’ ! d presto, there was a change. _ The truuk was token from the depot, the traveling habiliments were discarded, and in the balmv spring-time weddm-r Dells will ring out in the nnipt i;**u ' 1 villaow rtha^e. - ___ “ Christopher Heidenseko, a wealthy (L-rman living near Indianapolis, Ind., has had five wives, from two of whom he is has lust been w etuaa forced ew davs and three ago uuder died. peculiarly distressing circumstances, Site had been sick for some time, and by reason of neglect, latterly grew worse verv fiist the brutal husband TvfnQinev S “ , medical ni ^toper- 1 in t k i.d y disptwcd neighbors to ad minister to the dying woman's wants, TOPICS OF THE DAT.

Colorado ranchmen report that dur¬ ing the past winter grass has been uni¬ formly excellent, and cattle sleek aud fat. Scotland has begun to ship butter to this country, but Americans are not particularly auxiaus to play tbe role of consumer. __ The great pedestrian match in New York has finally wound up in a first-class quarrel over tho receipts.

The Universalist Register for 1882 re¬ ports twenty-five female pastors who have regular charges, and adds that they do ns well as th3 average male preachers. The exceptional mildness of the past winter has diminished tho usual demands for grain winter feeding, especially iu tlio West and Northwest, thus affording a compensation for the short crops of last season. ___ Maiirkak had a breakwater built by British engineers at. a cost of $3,000,000; but they neglected to band tho great blocks of concrete properly, and tho first storm lias knocked tho wholo thing to flinders.

A druggist at Oberlin, Ohio, who persisted in soiling alcohol in spito of those who waged an anti-liquor war against him, has been burned out, aud so have a number of other business men in his neighborhood.

Nowadays the visit of a heavy buyer to Philadelphia always means a spree to him, if his tastes are at all convival. If they are not, tlie ac commixlating salesman will take him on nice quiet drives, with nice little lunches and dinners at each end of them, and a swell church to drop in on Sundays, and weave business with pleasure ail the while until the buyer’s whole trip lias been quite as ecstatic a dream to his taste as that of another rural trader is who has anatomized the elephant from tusks to tail, and who carries home with him a head which is ns heavy as his bill dream from which he, possibly, awakes when the invoices begin to come “ out lu Greentown, and cold common B p elu j m ore, and spend it with a flash that makes it 6how for double its actual amount. It is the saleman’s business to impress the customer with an idea of the lavish generosity of tbe great house he deals with.

It is made of iron, and consists of a pile IwSt‘t’togh, Sth each section. The lighthouse, which is erected above the pile work, consists of four sections, and is surmounted with the lantern. The height of the whole construction is about sixty-three feet above the level of the water. Other ^ ligLthon ses are to be constructed at Connecticut and at Border Flatts, FtdJ River. A Strange Hallucination. If I were to tell yon that I have seen and analyzed the waters of a river which runs two degrees north of the Equator, and found in these waters eleven pci cent, of sulphuric acid and one and a half per cent, of hydrochloric, I might cause some surprise, but little or no in¬ credulity, even if I were to add the little known fact that in that region of the world there is thrown away in twenty four hours more of those two acids than is artificially produced in Europe in a year. But if 1 tell you that I once saw, outside of mv fancy, a woman who was 2,000 miles off at the time, I shall not only be generally disbelieved, have but gen¬ erally laughed at as well. I often told the story in private life, but not till now have I told it in print. I Twenty-three years ago, as was looking "out of the window of General Torico’s rancho at Chorillos, ten miles south of Lima, Peru, there passed-by several ladies and gentlemen on horse¬ back. A ladv, whom I will call Mrs. Morena (the* Spanish rendering of of the a common English name), was one beautiful gay cavalcade. She was so that I have remembered her face with the ease with which I am able to re¬ call the Victoria Regina, or the yellow convolvulus, or the blue orchid, as when I first saw these beautiful flowers in their native lands. I had never spoken witli Mrs. Morena, nor her husband, who accompanied her, and who was then on his wav "get to Jauja, from the United States, to healed of consump Three years ago, as one morning I lay musing in my bunk, in a Cunard steamer crossing the Atlantic, in full daylight, and having my eyes wide open, Mrs. Morena came into my cabin, and to my sorrow went out of it as quickly as she came in. Thereupon I rose, bathed, dressed, and went up to breakfast. It was late; the saloon was nearly de¬ serted, and I found only two fellow passengers, talking together and eating ham and eggs. I had never seen either. The common name of Morena was men¬ tioned between the two, and I being full of my vision, remarked at a venture to him who sat next to me, “ Mrs. Morena is more plump than she was twenty vearsago.” My neighbor turned on me a cpiiet look of inquiring surprise. I lif¬ ting his hand in the breast-pocket of his coat, he drew out one of those excellent photographs for which seme American photographers are so celebrated. “Is that the lady you mean? he gently demanded. Certainly, and Anil I answered stouter.” : “ you see she is rather “When did you see her last? was the next question, and I answered : “This morning.” with the photograph The gentleman Morena, the husband of my was Mr. friends beautiful lady. We became ; we had many social yarns together; he told me of his residence in Jauja, of the complete cure of his lungs, the nunrbtr of his children, and many more dear, delightful household things, in which I had no interest. He invited me to his house. On our arrival at New York, Morena telegraphed to his wife ; who re¬ plied, while he waited in the telegraph office, that they were all quite well at home. Nothing happened.

Whales are rarely over fMty feet long. About four thousand roses are re¬ quired to make one pound of ottar of roses. Fourteen kinds of dogs can be dis¬ tinguished in the Greek and Romaa records. The pearl fisheries of t]ie Persian Gulf afford support to about 85,000 families. Forty thousand dollars’ worth of chewing gum is gathered annually in the State of Maine. The number of persons killed on rail¬ ways in England is proportionally twice as great as in France. It is reported that twenty thousand people in India, in the year 1880, were killed by snakes and tigers. The milk of the elephant contains less water and more fatty matter and sugar than that of any other animal. The age of an oyster may be reckoned by counting the lines in the grove of the hinges of the bivalve. These lines indi¬ cate the annual layers of the shell growths. Malay^of f The Sirjjrapore used to give a large price ffor the't esty of a tiger, not because th-'” liked it, but because they thought a pt^fson w.-s imbued with tho characteristics oif tie animal he ate. Italian bees gat>«- honey from flow . ers which fail to attract black bees, be¬ cause the former have a longer tongue and are able to find honey which is be¬ yond the reach of the black variety. Both linen and cotton cloths were wrought by the Egpytians, but, unlike the modern work, the warp had gener¬ ally times twice or thrice and not seldom four the number of threads in an inch that the woof had. The leprosy prevalent in the Hawaiian Islands does not differ from the European and Asiatic forms. The increasing in¬ tercourse between the Pacific States, China and the Sandwich Islands makes vigilance a duty in suppressing the spread of the disease. A French soldier, stationed for some years in the Pontine Marshes, has be¬ come entirely of a deep brown color, totally distinct from that shade produced in natives of Northern Europe by ex¬ posure to the sun of lower latitudes. In Japan, owing to the gentleness of the people, the crow has full liberty to go where he likes. As a consequence, the most densely populated cities swarm with the shown noisy fellows, who repay the kindness them by acting as scav¬ engers. Forty years ago only about thirty auks and forty eggs were recorded as be¬ longing to public and private collections. At one time $50 were paid for two auks and two eggs; a little later, half that sum for one egg; and not very long since we read that $500 were given for one egg. One reason that the ancients were lacking in museums was the fact that they lacked efficient methods of pre¬ serving the various forms of life. It waa not until the discovery of alcohol and manufacture of glass bottles that muse¬ ums became of importance. St. Thomas, of Aquinas, gives the most ingenious explanation of any of the ancients on the subject of earthquakes. He suggests that the convulsions may be caused by the struggles of the de¬ funct disbelievers trying (by a simul¬ taneous stampede, perhaps,) to escape from the pit of torment.
