The miners were just about tired of bis tyranny and several suggested the propriety of giving him a. pounding. |jfowever, Providence, who sometimes advocates the cause of the poor miners as well as that of the rich nabob who owns the property, came to the men’s assistance at this critical junction. At the Khedive lode the miners had long borne a grudge against the super­ intendent, an overboaring ignoramus; so they swore they would get even with him some day. The Khedive was located just two miles above the old Government road leading to Gothic, at a bend, called "The Crook,” and it required an hour's hard climbing on foot to get up to the mine from there. .

At this moment the wag o f the crew Stepped up to him and offered a big Iron scoop shovel, suggesting that if he sat in that he could go down the hillqulck- ly and safely. 'J ■The superintendent had often seen the descent made on the snow as stated, but he did not see the roguish twinkle in the man’s eye as he took the prof­ fered implement.

A well-known lawyer who has always taken considerable pride in the claaslo mold of his olein-shaven face appeared at the county court house reoently with ewell-developod growth'of very unbe­ coming board. Every friend that ho met wanted to know why he didn't got shaved, and finally he oarrolod half a dosen of them in a oorner and told them the reason. He had never learned the art of shav­ ing himself and had always patronised one barber. Not long ago this barber dropped into the habit of tolling him that ho (the lawyer) bad a mesmeric eye. The lawyer didn't mind much what his barber thought of his eye so long ss he" shaved him satisfactorily. But havingdiscovered that the lawyers eye was mesmeric, the barber went a step further, and once in awhile after making a slip with his razor would ex­ plain that It was becauso he was mes­ merised so that be did not know what he was about Matters went on this way fo r h week or so, tbe barber insist­ ing that he was mesmerised every time tbe lawyer looked squarely at him, and the lawyer taking it for granted that the mesmerism business was a dodge of the barber's to excuse the occasional cuts from bis razor. A different aspectWas put on the case, however, tbo lest time the barber shaved his lawyer customer. Leaning over him after he had finished he asked i f the lawyer thought a man would he excusable for cutting the throat of one who mesmerized him. The lawyer" eatdhe certainly would not be excus­ able, and got out of tbe chair as qulokly as possible. He afterWard learned that the barber bad become a perfect crank on the aubjeot of mesmerism, and noth­ ing will persuade him that he did hot have a narrow escape, He will proton- ’ tty go to another barber some time, hat at present his nerves are so shaken up hy the occurrence that he prefers to vreav an unbecoming heard to sitting dpwn In any barber’s chair.—f t Y., Times, .......................... .. --The &hori OtWp*,—Firat Ratal Beau — uWhg didn't yer take yet gurl to tb' theater show, lee* night?1', Second.

In that year one Philip Stands- field was arrested for the munler of a person Who had been burled several days.. Although the man had laid in the grave almost a fortnight, Sir George Mackinsie, the Crown counsel, caused the body to be exhumedand brought into open court to apply what people thought would be the test of ^tandsfleld’a guilt or innocence. The sworn deposition of several witnesses is aB follows: “God Almighty himself Was pleased to bear a share in the testimonies which we produced. That Divine power which ma]ios the blood circulate during life hasofttimos, in all countries, opened a passage for it after'death upon such oc­ casions. After the woundB had been sewed up, and the body designedly shaken up and down—and which is most wonderful, after tbe body hadi been burled.several days, which naturally causes the blood to congeal—upon Standsfleld’a touching it the blood darted and sprang out, to the great astonishment of tbe surgeons who were there to watch the event BtacdaBeld, astonished more than they, ,threw down the body, crying, ‘Oh, God!

' The Only Vlalble Remains o f the Glaciers of the Honiote Past. Wherever the glaciers melted they loft an immense amount of “drift" that is sand, gravol.and stone of all sorts, wtjjlch bad been frozen in tbe ice when the glaziers were forming. .. Tbe Btonos of this drift are of all sizes. Some are as small as pebble^ others as ljtrge as small houses. There is one at Bradford, Mass,, which meas­ ures thirty feet each way, and weighs four and a half million pounds. There * Is anothor on a ledge .in Vermont which Is oven larger than that and which must have been earried by tbe Ico across a valley lying five hundred feet below where tbe stone now Is, showing that the ico was fivo hundred foot thick. Groat bowlders of trap-rook extend throi. *h Connecticut on a line running to Long Island Sound, and as some of the samo kind are found in Long Island the glacier is believed to have crossed the Sound, carrying thoso rocks with i t An lmmenso statue o f ' Peter the Groat in St Petersburg stands on ono of tboBoglaolor bowlders of solid granite; which weighs three million pounds. One of tho largest bowlders in America la in the Indian village of Mohogan, near Montvillo, Conn. Tho In­ dians call the rock “ Shohogan.” Its top, wbioh is flat and as largo as the floor of a good sized room, is reached by a ladder. Somotimoa those bowlders aro found perched upon bare lodges of rook so nlcoly balanced that though of groat wolght, tboy may be rocked by the band. Theyarecalled “ rocking-stone a ” Nesr the little Connecticut village of Noank, on Long Island Sound, there is an Immense bowlder called by tho poor plo there “Jomimy's Pulpit” It was formerly a rocking-stone. But the rock has worn' awsy below it and it can no longer bo moved.—Teresa G Crofton, In St Nicholas. N The Elegance o f Boulanger. Though, politically. General Boulan­ ger is considered dead and buried, he is, physically, very much alive indeed, and Whon, on Thursday morning, he dashed up in his elegant carriage and jumped on board tho Frederica, just beforo she loft St Ueliers for Southampton, be looked certainly more blooming and beaming than ho did even a twelve­ month ago in London. Carnations adorned the heads of his two fine car­ riage horses; a buttonhole of carnations brightened the coachman’s brown liv­ ery; and the General's gray-haired friend, a handsome Frenchman, had also donned his former lesdor’s favorite flower. Fivo ladies, all more or less "pf A certain sge,” were also of tho pirly, and conspicuous among them the mysterious “ lady in black,” who is a typical dark, slender, Frenchwoman, with flashing eyes, gleaming teeth, small waist, and small feet encased In elegant Parisian patent leather boots. Her face is piquant rather than regu­ larly beautiful, and she is bright and lively—that is to say, she was till "the wild sea waves” put a sudden stop to all attempts at merriment or conversa­ tion.—Pall Mall Gazette.

WASHINGTON ETIQUETTE. tetoMstte*TootsAbemjTtfc* Soetal Regoia. tteos of Ik* WklS* The social regulations o f the White House very with tbe President*. John Adams, who made a roport on the sub­ ject for President Washington, Could not conceive it "proper for the Presi­ dent to make any formal entertain­ ment” and he specially deprecated hia attendance upon "tea parties,” and Thomas Jefferson endeavored to. estab­ lish (the pclomele system of precedence, which Is simply no precedence at alL More recently we have witnessed the hospitality of General Grant the Intro­ duction of total abstinence by Hayes, tbe dining of the whole Government by Arthur, and tbe conservatism of Cleve­ land. The reception upon the Fourth of July, too, that used to he. a feature in White House festivities, has entirely passed out of date, the New Year's levee being the only formal day recep­ tion given. The order In which the of­ ficers of the Government are shaken hands with upon that occasion Is as follows: The Vice-President, the mem­ bers of the Cabinet, the diplomatic corps, the Judges of the United States courts, Senators, 'Representatives, the army and navy, the officers of the de­ partments who are ccmraissioned by the President, and finally the people. The announcement iirtho newspapers a few days beforo tbe reoeption fakes place of the above order may bo considered the nearest approach to authoritative prom­ ulgation of order of prqcedefice. in Wash­ ington. During the winter the President gives bis formal Toning receptions, to which people are invited by card. The first one is to the diplomatic corps, tho army and navy, tho judiciary and Congress being Invited to moet them. At tho second the diplomatic corps and the judiciary and Congress are invited to meet the army and navy, and so on, three receptions being given. A fourth is generally added, when the people are received. State dinners are given; when the high dignitaries of the Government solemnly feed themselves under the President's eye, and there is at least one diplomatic dinner. This musL.be the most charming entertainment The Chinese Minister, for Instance, can not speak a word of any. thing but Chinese, and does not love knives and forks; tbe Coroan Minister knows nothing but Corean; the others speak Spanish, French, German and English. Their costumes are various. Some wear fezes, others enormous borse-hsir hats, others little caps. Their complexions range from tho pink tints of Northern Europe to the dusky copper color of the Orient - They are paired off without regard to congeniality, and altogether the diplo­ matic state dinner it looked Upon as a solemn duty both by tho givero f tbe feast and tbe gentlemen and ladies who are ordered to attend i t An invitation to dine with tho President is an order. What the writers onetiquetto.call the "Drawing-Rooms of tho Presiding Lady of tho Exeoutivo Mansion” aro the Sat­ urday afternoon reooptlenB of tbo Presi­ dent’s wife. Anybody can go to thorn, and the order of precedence is a ques­ tion of phyBlcar strength. There are oven tho "drawing-rooms of tho ladies of tho Cabinet,” rooopttons which, as a hand-book of etiquette has expressed it, aro open to ‘%H persons of reputablo character and becoming dross.” That tho visitors are of reputablo character is, doubtless, a fact, hut tho beooming- ness of tho dross is a question of taste. At thoso receptions there aro generally refreshments, bnt the same writer vpry considerately hints to his readers that "it is not suitable to>set in for *asquare meal.’ ” It is not presumed that those "drawing-rooms” constitute the “ court oireles of tbe republic,” and there Is actually a hook on this subject which bears that title. In reality they are entirely harmless and essentially democratic. Anybody may go, and all are treated eqnally, whereas the “draw­ ing-room” at tbo British court; is a formal and solect assemblage of people. —Chicago Globe; General Sherman as a Scholar. John Swlnton, of this city,has a letter once sent to him by General Sherman with avlow to its publication. .There are two striking sentences in this letter. In one of them General Sher­ man, after correcting an erroneous re­ port that had been printed about h'm- self, refers to the way in which such reports are liable to swell as they cir­ culate. He says: "Distance and time swell a rumor In the ratio of ^he cube of distance, or, as Horaoe rcoords, the flight of a rumor Is like that of an eagle, which asconds from its perch straight for a time, and then in circles larger and larger, till its original start­ ing point is lost” In another part of General Sherman'S letter, while refer­ ring to a question that Is nonir looming up all over tho world, he writes thus: ‘ ■On the groat question of tho conflict between capital and labor 1 know noth­ ing, and must use the Spanish to ex­ plain my position, Dios Babe.” Mr. Swlnton says that it Is evident, from these sentences tl;ai Gonerat Sherman is a classical as well a ! a mathematical scholar, and that he also acquired some knowledge of Spanish glottology while oampalgnlng In Florida a half century ago,—ft.

Says a oltizen of that State: "Dashing down, tbe Street in our town the other day came two carriages, going, pell-mell, regard­ less of all obstacles, each driver doing his best to distance' his rival. An ex­ cited stranger grasped me by the arm to ask, 'Where’s the fire?' I calmed his anxiety by explaining that It was only two coroners racing for a body.” —It may not be generally known that the ML Vernon estate, Washington's old home, was purchased by the women of tbo United States, who made volun­ tary contributions for tho purpose. A vice-regent is chosen from eaeh State, forming an association for the manage­ ment of the property. The income de­ rived from admission foes of visitors keeps. tbo place in fine condition. Sir Julian Fauncofoto, acting for the Prince of Wales, lately planted an English oak- tree before Washington's tomb in place of that planted by this Prince thirty years ago, which has long since died.
