It was in ’54 that Castle Garden was secured as a general the landing place for emigrants. used During land¬ time the Garden was as a ing burdau the names of 9,720,607 im¬ migrants were recorded upon its books.

A Place of Silence and Desola¬ tion in California. The Scorching Heat is Hostile to All Animal Existence. California can certainly claim the grealest natural wonders of the world. Its Yosemite Valley, its big trees, its petrified forests and its innumerable other attractions substantiate this as¬ sertion. One of the latter class, little known and rarely spoken of, is the Death Valley of Inyo County, in many respects the most remarkable of them all. Imagine a trackless waste of sand and rock, shimmering under the rays of a more than tropical sun, hemmed in on all sides by titanic rocks and mountains, whose very impress is that of eternal desolation, and you have a fair idea of DeathValley. Geograph¬ ically it is the sink of the Amargosa Itivor, which is quite a marvel iu it¬ self. It rises in the Western Sierras, about two miles from the California line, and flows southward for ninety miles, when it disappears from sight in the bed of an ancient lake at the foot of tho Resting Spring Mountains. A little further south it reappears and continues another sixty miles, when it again returns to its subterranean chan¬ nel. Still again it reappears and flows nearly ono hundred miles, when it finally disappears in the sink of the Death Valley, quito a remarkable river. Death Valley is about eight miles broad by tliirty-five miles long, and comprises some three hundred square miles of the most Godforsaken coun¬ try in the world. It looks as if suffer¬ ing from some terrible curse,such as we read in the Scriptures. It lies far below tho sea level, in some places 160 feet. No friendly clouds appear to intercept tho scorching heat. The thermom¬ eter registers 126 degrees week after week. No moisture ever falls to cooll the burning sand. Bright steel maw be left out after night aud never be tarJ nislicd. Nothing will decay: a dead animal will simply dry up like parchment,ama remain so seemingly forever. No] sound is ever heard; the silence on eternal desolation reigns supreme. It is a curious geological format ion,only paralled in one other instance—that of the Dead Sea. The rocks, lava, ba¬ salt and granite show tho volcanic for¬ mation, which probably will account for the poisonous quality of the air. It is said that noxious gases are emit¬ ted from the numerous fissures in tliel rocks. tliel Such is a brief de-cripfion of most, remarkable valley in America.! Population may press onward, but itl will never enter here, Reclamation on vast tracts of land will be accon\-l plished, but Death Valley will nevcii see a plow. It is forever destined tol remain in its stole of primitive barren-1 ness. By the woiking of some mys-l terious cause tho place is hostile tol life. It is avoided alike by man amll beast. Geologists tell us it is a strik-l ing illustration of the condition of thel whole world at an early geological! op-| epoch. Every tourist who lias miniature! the porlunity should visit this Sahara. A Doctor Chats About Poisons. Dr. William LI. Giooiie, demonstra¬ tor of chemistry of the University of Pomislyvania and one of the most scholarly chemists of our time, sends the following interesting leitcr: “In reply to your questions, I would say: First, tho most painless poison is probably morphia or some similar narcotic. Second, hydrocyanic or prussic aoid is the most rapidly fatal of all poisons in its action. Third, chemical and physiological tests may notv be applied with such certainty to detect poison in food and drink and iu the human body after death that if scientific examination and judicial in¬ quest bo possible the administration ofi almost, any poison is attended with tho risk of p issiblc delection. j “Tho poisons which would be most likely to cscapo detection would bel thoso most closely resembling tliel ptomaines of poisonous fungi. I dol not believe, however, that there exists! a poison of that one c n exist that! could not be positively identified after! death either by tho lessons produced ini the organs affected, or by the extrac-l tlon from tho corpse of tho victim of the poison itsolf, and by tho study of jts properties. “I do not think that the pcoplo of »ny other ago could have (aught us anything in this matter. The crimes of tho Borgias were well known at tho time of thoir peipetration, be tho Borgias were well known to bo pois¬ oners, bnt their power protected them. Excopt under conditions that would now be only of very rare—al¬ most impossible occurrence, such murders by poison conld not bo perpe¬ trated. A Borgia would most inevita¬ bly be detected, exposed and pun¬ ished at the present day.”—[Pittsburg Dispatch. Barbers of Spain. Tho barber’s business of Spain is peculiar, in that he is called upon to ply his shears on donkeys as well as men. For it is an important item in the care of Spanish donkeys that they should be sheared as to tho bad; in order to make a smoother resting place for man or pannier. So while the master held his animal one of the barbers plied ,. , some enormous clacking .... shears and , littered ... the ground . With ... mouse colored hair, leaving the beast’s belly fur-covered below a fixed line, and for a small additional price 1 executing ” a raised pattern of star points around the neck. The tonsorial profession is an indis¬ pensable one in a country where shav¬ ing the whole face is so generally practiced among all the humbler orders, not to mention toreros and ecclesiastics. But the discomfort to which the barber’s customers submit is astonishing. Instead of being pam¬ pered, soothed, labored at with confi¬ dential respectfulness and lulled into luxurious harmony with himself, as happens in America, a man who courts the razor in Spain has to sit upright in a stiff chair and meekly hold under his chin a brass basin full of suds, and fitting his throat by means of a curved nick at one side.

The best thing I ever Ip ard of my grandfather, Tuat whom I nev< r saw, was this: once having unrighteously rebuked one of his children, be himself having lost his pa¬ tience and perhaps having been niisin foimcdof the child’s doings, found out his mistake, and in the evening of the same day gathered all his family together and said: “Now thing I have one explanation Thomas, to make, and one rebuked to say. in the this morning I you pres¬ ence of the lanailv, and now I ask your forgiveness in their presence.” It must have taken some courage to do that. It was right.
