At various times for fifty years smoko has been seen issuing from the swamps of Florida, and every cone ivablo theory projected to account for it. The swamp is impassable, but men have penetrated very nenr to where tho smoke ought to l>c. There, however, they could see no sign of it. Il is even claimed that some have gone directly through it without knowing it, and Judge White, an aged citizen, is poitivo ho was once within five or six miles from it, when it «>« perfectly plain. 80 the weight of scientific opinion I* that It is a vapor collected by peculiar Condition* in the great swamp, invisible, of course, to one in it, but opaque to those n few miles away.

Tin or. tothe amount of 35,000 pounds arrived in N'-w York the other day from th" Biack Hills, and if representation* are to be relied on, *ays the IForM of that city, it is the forerunner of an im portant development of our mineral re sources. All the other lending metals in use in the civilized world we are known to have an inexhaustible supply of, but it tin is to be added to the number it will materially increase our economic in dependence. It is claimed that this tin ore is richer than that of Cornwall, Aus tralia or Sumatra, whence the supply has hitherto been mainly derived. It r.'Migcs from 3 to 15 per cent., while that elsewhere averages but 2 1-2 per cent. It Is stated that there is practically no limit to the deposit*. We imported i nearly $<1,000,000 worth of block or pig tin last year, and ov. r $17,000,000 worth of tin plates or taggers tin. If the home product is to supplant this a revolution i in the tin trade will ensue, much to the inconvenience of the Cornwall interests, i Light Coins. The following notice has been posted on thi bulletin-board of the sub- Treasury : “On mid after August 1, 1880, nil gold coin below legal weight will, under , instruction* received from the Secretary of the Treasury, be stamped ‘'light," as the same is presented at the »üb-Treas ury.” The necessity for this new rule, as ex plained at tho sub-Treasury, is this: There is a law which fixes the coin “limit of tolerance" -the point to which coin* may bo worn or abraded and st.ll be worth their face value—at one-half of 1 p-r cent. This means that when a gold dollar in the course of its use loses one one half cent of it* value in weight it ceases to be worth $t as it legal tender, and is worth only it* weight a* gold mer chandise. Until about four years ago it was a rule of the offic rs at the New York sub-Treasury to stump all coins outside of the limit of tolerance with a letter “L,” signifying that they were of light weight. B it depositors raised an outcry against the multilation of national coins, and an order came from Washington directing the sub-treasury hero to quit its stamp ing business. The result was that, though light-weight coins were once re jected at the sub-treasury, they still kept coming in a regular stream. The same abraded coin would be offered over and over again L ur or five times during one week. There was nothing to distinguish their light weight, and often they were detected only because the clerks of the sub-treasury, with their delicate touch, the n suit of years of practice, could de t > t the lightness of weight, when to an ordinary business man the coin would have nothing in its appearance out of the ordinary. Often it happened that in one bag of gold coins tlie abrasion of tho piece* w ill make a total of sls or more u.dcr the full weight value, though the loss to each coin is scarcely perceptible. .Ve*e F.rX 77 .irs. hot a Heavy Weight. ;• i Collector - -“You told me to call to-day, sir."

The following clever little sketch, adapted from the French, appeared iu the New York (Irai/hic: I must confcs! that I always had a weakness for elephants. You have no idea how much of ex quisite sensitiveness, extreme delicacy, nay, of genuine poetry is concealed un der this rough and wrinkled exterior. To me the eli phant is a lyric poet spoiled in the milking, but with all the irritabil ity that charm t riz.es the genus. What do I say? In fact, he needs only his lit tle blue cloak to be thoroughly equipped for his rythmic task. It is a case of a philanthropist turned pachyderm. Isaw one one • at Bumir. s sprinkle fresh water with his trunk upon tho head of an English soldier nearly dead of sunstroke. What hum in goo I Samaritan c uld have done more? Indeed I have often won dered why the Academy has not before thia awarded the Montyou prize to an elephant. But man is so unjust. He treats this noble being like a beast— this being at once so strong and so gentle —in order not to be compelled to pay a debt of gratitude. I believe there is much truth concealed in the Brahmin legend. You remember that, according to that fable, when Vi-shnou had created man and discovered what n wretched mistake he had made he at once invented the elephant in or der that by means of his charming at tributes saddened nature might find in him a compensation for all the shortcomings of the wicked biped. Some years ago I visited a small town in the south of France, to assist one of the friends of my boyhood in an electoral contest. Every day I managed to pass a portion of tho afternoon at the local Jardin des Plantes. Three eucalyptus trees, five palms, two specimens of the ailantc and lix Italian pines—all very dusty—together with a dozen orange trees, were tho only exotic representatives of the vegetable king dom. The fauna of the tropics w as suggested by four phthisicky monkeys, several hyenas, a porcupine, two very grouty brown bears, n rather melancholy young dromedery, a flabby old lion, and—the gem of the collection--an elephant from the coast of Coromandel. He was culled Belisarius, from his be ing blind of one eye. I at once male friends with this noble animal. A strong sympathy drew me towards him, while he, in turn, was not long in getting acquainted with me,although manifesting, but with great fact, a sense of his own superiority. As soon as he saw mo coining the cap tive would greet me with a low trumpet note of satisfaction, and after having swung round his long proboscis as a sign of welcome, he would raise it above the iron barrier which separated us and re ceive from my hand the delit ate rye-broad rolls with which I had taken care to pro vide myself. And fixing on me his eye, his only eye, which gave to his intclli g nt face an air of paternal gentleness, and which secme 1 to sadden his charm in.; smile, he appeared t > thank me for the thou, lit fullnc s that thus ministered to his tus'es. His keeper’s dwelling, a pretty cottage complct ly covered with honeysuckle, opened on the enclosure where he was u-u.i.ly cxhib.t ,d. I noticed at tho win d'W ayo nig woman who w.h generally singing as sho rocked the cradle of a sturdy pink-and-wbite, chubbv-fa -ed in fant. The delicate beauty of the mother and the inviting appear.iuce of the neat ittle rustic home served tothrow around the Colossus of the Jungle an atmosphere of peace and happiness. From time to time Belisarius would aproach the win dow, and, with his trunk thrown back in the air, would seem to send a k.ss to the baby asleep in its wicker ucst. II secured to me that the family must be very fond of this great, kind brute, who* m mifestations of dumb affection were evidently so sincere. A voice disturb d my reflections. It was the keeper wl.o, while performing hi* usuui duties in his boarder's cage,bad sp-vko ito me. He had understood bow much ictcn st I took in hi* pct, and cvea *e«-me<l to guess my thought*. “Ah, yes, Monsieur. Every one adores him, but no one more than I, I assure you. Belisariu* made my fortune and made me happy.” At the word “fortuhe" I had involun tarily summoned before mv mind's eye a vision of the mine* of Golcondaand Mo gul fetes; but I reflected that the modest jiosition held by the speaker was incon sistent with the extravagant conceptions of my imagination. Construing my silence into a desire to hear more, the man continued: “A few years ago, Monsieur, I did not occupy the enviable position in which you sec me tc- lay. Instead of being the keeper of the elephant I was only a common gardener, spading the beds, raking over the walksand watering flow ers in this same garden. But I was in love—madly, rapturously in love! “Very often I was guilty of a serious infration of the rule* that regulated my professional duties. The rarest and most beautiful of the flowers I was paid to guard and care for found their way to the little cottage you see there. She who lived there was the object of my affec tion, and she loved me in return. But when I made so bold as to ask for her bund, her father, who then occupied the position I now hold, brutally showed me to the door! He said that lie wouldn't I have h.s daughtar marry below her sta tion, and that he designed her to be the wife of the man who took charge of tho bear pit, who was in time to be his (the father’s) successor. And I was only, as I have told you, a common gardener! But why, I aked myself, could I not make as good an elephant keeper as any other? Love made me ambitious. “From that time I summoned all my ‘ courage, and surreptitiously entering the enclosure I set my wits to work and lavished upon the elephant all the atten tions of a real keeper. My future father in-law, it must bo added, had been somewhat neglectful of Belisarius’s com fort. “The worthy animal appreciated my trouble. Ah I what intelligence—what a mind I—as clear as amber. After a , while he saw through my little scheme, . for when I was there his one eye would turn roguishly towards the window where, as if by accident, Lucie, the daughter of the real keeper, would ap pear, having chosen that very moment for shaking her crumb-cloth over poor Belisarius’s head. “Well, my love was to receive great ! assistance from this dumb beast, as you will see. “The elephant’s disposition, hitherto so mild and peaceful, changed suddenly. Belisarius, in spite of his having come to years of discretion, began to play tricks worthy of the veriest school boy. Thus one day, when the doors and windows of the cottage had been left open, this sly old pachyderm amused himself by moving all the furniture of my predecessor within reach out into his enclosure. On another occasion, when his keeper was entertaining a few friends at dinner, there was discovered in tho soup not the single permissible hair of or dinary domesticity, but a whole mass of something resembling fur. Itsecmsthat a dromedary, who occupied the next in closure to His Royal Highness, had that day been deprived of his hirsute cover ing, and the elephant took advantage of the incident t> introduce this novel flavoring into his keeper’s soup without the knowledge of the cook. “But these are only specimens of the tricks that Belisarius was constantly playing in his new role. At last it be-, camo evident, even to the not very acute intelligence of the keeper, that he would have to retire from hi.* post in favor of some one more agreeable to the powerful and cunning brute. He therefore re signed, and all tho employes of the Jardin were tri d in turn as his succes sor. In vain! B.disarius had quite made up his inind as to the keeper he wanted, and was not to be driven from his fixed determination. I thus found myself master of the situation. Lucie’s father was compelled to admit that I discharged tlie duties of the position bet ter than anyone else. But what a long step in advance for me and at my age— all the way from common gardener to elephant keeper! “The poor man, who was really anxious that his daughter should make a good match, did not show me out when 1 asked for her hand a second time. “A month later Lucie and I were mar ried. The wedding dinner was spreal under the arbor covered with clematis that adj >ins the elephant’s enclosure, which permitted Belisarius to attend as one of the guests. He also deigned to consume that portion of the feast which had b en prepared for h's special bene fit. Eighteen of the little rye rolls he al ways found so toothsome and eleven bunch sos carrots probably made his majesty feel almost as contented as if he were about being married himself. At all events they had a quieting and hu manizing effect upon bis disposition. No boyish tricks disturbed our frugal ban quet—no dromedary hairs were found in the soup. With his single eye he gazed cheerfully upon the happy scene, and as you have seen, Monsieur, he still watches with the same thoughtful care over my wife and little one.” ELECTRIC LIGHTS. Perils of the Attendants in Thunder Storms. Treating a Suffirer from S’. Vitus Dance With Electric Shocks. “Put few jwople realize the danger, attending the vork of an electric light lineman and lamp attendant,” remarked one of the corp* to un It in reporter, as he shot down one of the circuit poles Sunday night, in the pouring rain, and exhibited a badly blistered hand, the re sult of a shock received from a “leak in the wire. “It is particularly dangerous” he added, “just before and during a thun derstorm, and extremely vexatious in wet weather. During the storm of Fri day morning almost every fl ish of light ning was attracted to the wires, and the way it went snapping up the c.rcuit wa< enough to make one shudder. During the height of the sterm a ball of fire was seen to shoot along the wires on Westminster street, and when in the midst of the 2000 wires that run into the Butler exchange, it burst with a report like that of a cannon. The next flash saw forty-three of the lights out, and it was evident that something had gone up. We traced the ‘break’ right to the works, where, to the surprise of all, it was found that the lightning had struck the first light on the circuit outside of the works, and followed the line into the room where the ‘arresters’ are. and burned them in such away as to make them assume the appearance of a piece of burned brown paper. When tlie light ning struck the ‘arrester’ a terrible re port followed. “But then, while it is dangerous to mount a pole during a thunderstorm, the men become accustomed to it. The most aggravating work is to tackle a pole during a storm, as there are many which will give you a shock the moment you touch them. These poles are all marked by the men, and the worst among them are those at Turk’s Head, the car depot and two on the Westmin ster street circuit, where, if you get up, you will have to dance to get down again, that is, if you are not knocked down, as several circuit men have already been. The shocks received in this way are due to “leaks” in the wires, which are only detected by a line man getting in contact with the nearest pole to the leak. “Did you ask about inside work? There is nothing fascinating about it and one must have a great faculty of keeping his hands at home. The men who work about dynamos, as a rule have worse looking hands than baseball catchers, but they think nothing of a small shock. One of the worse cases at our works occurred quite re cently, when our superintendent went to attach the wires ‘positive and negative,’ to the ‘post’ at tached to the dynamo, not noticing that the comb was down and the dynamo run ning full force. He attached the wires all right, but the instant the connection was completed he was knocked across the room. It was a wonder the shock did not kill him instantly. He wa* a terribly scared man, and it was fully two weeks before he fully recovered. “Just at the present time we have at the Rhode Island Electric Company’s works quite a rare case, that is attracting no small amount of attention. It is that of a 10-year-old girl who, until recently, wa* a terrible sufferer from St. Vitus’s dance. She could not stand still, and so was in a sad state. Some one sug gested that she be treated with electric shocks, and accordingly a medium wire —such as is used for the inside incandes cent lights—was run from the works to the street circuit wire. The girl daily comes to the works and will seize the wire with both hands and hold it as though it were a piece of wood. The shock that this wire will give is enough to knock a man out, yet the girl laughs at the idea, and is rapidly improving under the treatment.”— Providence Item. Uses of Insects. “All flesh is grass,” in a literal sense. For take the plant louse, or aphis, whose bloated body appears to be merely an animated green bladder of the juices of the plant upon which it exists; this is eaten by the lady bug, which,in its turn, becomes the food of some bird or fish, whose flesh serves to nourish that great omnivorous animal—m n. Were there no insects what would become of ail the insectivorous birds, and still more of the fresh-water fish? An old hen confined in her coop with her chickens loose around her will clear a large space of in sects in a short time; yet a spring chicken is considered a dainty, although a week previously it may have been rioting on a fare of crickets and caterpillars. Iu many tobacco plantation* flocks of turkeys are turned into the field to eat off the tobac co worms; yet what is better than a good roast turkey? Nay, in several places, if we are to believe travellers, men cat in sects. A palm tree grub, well roasted, is considered a great delicacy in some coun tries; in others, grasshoppe: s, or rather locusts, are preferred. Insects also act as scavengers in removing decayed tnimal substances; others, again, r. tten wood and decaying vegetable matter. A Great Georgia Fruit Farm. Twenty years ago nearly everybody! Macon and Houston countie* Mr. 8. H. Rumph as a crank upon t|„ fruit question. They argued that tli -" was no demand for fruits and tree* grown in the South, that th ' Yankee lu] already a monopoly upon that bus in „~ Also that but few varieties could I grown here; that the growing of app „ and raspberries, especially, was an ploded iden, and that nobody b ut ( northern man could successfully condu/. a nursery. These and a thousau I otb r objections were urged by every one, aud it was with great difficulty that Mr Rumph, then quite a young man, ail! i with unlimited means, could get a; i of land upon which to lay the foundatio i for an immense business, and mt (l r which he is to-day making • a fortune Nothing daunted, however, he estab, lisned his fruit farm and nursery known to-day in every state and market in ti e United States. He gets the first red raspberries every season into Jackson, ville, Savannah, New York and 8... ton, and lie realizes fully cents per quart for the yield from a five-acre patch. He ha* propagated a variety of peach believed to be the finest in every particular grown in the South, if not in America, which hr christened “Elberta,” in honor of her who, in his young manhood, plighted her love and fate with his, and rejolc , with him in prosperity and sympathize in adversity, as only a devoted and lov ing wife can do. He has a large num ber of E.bertas, and last season the crop paid him an average of 11 cents prr peach in New York and Boston. He ship* car loads of peaches of other varieties every season that pay satisfactory prices, and ho yearly increases his acrea-e which already numbers several hundred. Apples are grown to perfection,and even week in the year he fills orders for this delightful fruit, sweetened by Georgia suns and on Georgia lands. But it is said that his nursery is the biggist tiling in the South. Suffice it to say, at pres ent, last week he sold 85.000 trees, to be shipped to different States the cotnin'i fall. His home is one of the loveliest in the country, surrounded by fruits and flowers of every variety and species, and is visited annually by hundred of trav elers and excursionists who pas* this way and can stop off for a period.—AlarMl rille (Ga.) Tim n. The Bee’s Sting. The hive and its inmates afford, per haps, a more interesting field for mier • scopic sosearch than anything else in the whole insect kingdom. Take the bee'; sting; why, that alone might occupy ail the rest of this paper. The sheath makes the first wound, and, inside it, managed that they enclosa a tubehill space down which the poison runs, are two darts, all built in such a strictly me chanical way that—Mr. Chesire says— they remind him of the guide rod* of a steam engine. The poison is gummy, but it is prevented from clogging the machine by a gland which secretes a lu bricating oil. The queen’s sting is big ger than the workers’ drones have none - but it is practically barbless, and can therefore be easily brought away in stead of being left in the wound and thereby causing the death of its precious owner. It is a formidable weapon, tlie sheath so hard that it turns the finest ra zor-edge; but a queen never stings ex cept in contest with another queen; she may be handled with impunity. Os the worker it is a mistake to say that it al ways leaves its sting in the wound, and dies from the loss. If it generally docs sv, the fault often lies in your impa tience; bear it like a hero, and the bee will work it sting round and round till it is able to withdraw it without impedi ment. Os course you get pierced deeper > and deep, but then, consider, the crea ture’s life is saved by your suffeiing.— All the Year Hound. Breast Plales. William Turner of Runnels, Texas, tells the following war story in the Chi cago Ledger-. Without the means of knowing to what extent, or if this is the only solitary instance of wearing breast plates, I will proceed to state the facts regarding at least one breast plate worn at Shiloh. I was a subaltern officer in a Miss ssippi regiment, and wc had cap tured quite a number of prisoners from Prentiss’ command. Among these prisoners was a Captain H. of the Seventeenth lowa, who entered into conversation with mo. After a little he took off his vest, and taking from it a metallic breast plate, presented it to me, remarking that it had saved his life, but that he should probably have no further use for it. Upon examining the plate I found, sure enough, an indentation made by a mime bullet directly ever the reg.on of the heart. The relic was esteemed a decided curiosity by all who saw i‘. I have often wondered whit ha* Ixt come of that handsome, patriotic young man, then our prisoner. ■ Biand to be Seen.
