There are still enough Indians left i the West to be often a decided nuisanc< A large floel f sheep which were bein driven from Montana into Canada wei surrounded by a band of Indians on Belly river, and urged over its precip tous banks until they piled up, one c another, twenty-five feet deep.

A correspondent says that Ireland hi more than twice as many policemen i England, in proportion to her populi tion, and nearly three times as many i Scotland. It costs $7,500,000 every yet to keep the peace in Ireland, as again: $1,700,000 in Scotland, and $17,000,00 in England. The Irish police, as a rul< are very tall men. They wear helmet and clothes of olive green, and arearme with rifles, short swords and clubs. Some of our readers may be intereste to know that "The Swan's Song," a fa mous and genuine Stradivarius violic which dates from the year 1737, has jus been sold in Paris for the Siim of 15,10 francs. Stradivarius was forty-thre years old when he made this much-cov eted prize. It belonged to a man wel known in the musical world, the late de Sainte-Senoch, whose three other vio lins by the same maker also fetched fab ulous prices. They even catch fish by machinery ou West. A late traveler on the Pacifi coast writes: "On the Columbia Rive I found a very discouraging state of al fairs. The fishermen had lost confidenc somewhat, though they had had two o three good days. Even ia fishing I sai where machinery was supplanting th labor of men. One machine I sai caught eighteen tons, or 3,600 barrels c fish in twelve hours, and the only labc needed was not in catching the fish, bu in carting them away." Commercial Agent Smith, of Mayencc Germany, in a report to the Secretary o State says: ''The new American metho of drying fruit, which gives such satis factory results, especially in apples, i susceptible of being developed into a important industry. Nowadays in thi neighborhood, and I supposs the same i true of all Germany, if you want drie< apples the American fruit is usually fin offered you. while a long string of adjec tives are thrown off at you in praise of il These apples are to be met with almos everywhere, and are preferred to a others on account of the excellence wit which they are dried, and for thei cheapness." An interesting calculation has bee made by a New York paper, showin how the steady and rapid payment of th public debt incurred in the civil war combined with the reduction of the in terest rate and the increase of the popu lation of the country, has affected th J-Li 1 3 U*.. ~ uurucu UUUIIiC UJ UU1 capita. Ia 1863 the debt nmouuted t $78.25 per capita. Last year it amounte* to only $24.14. In 1805 the per capit portion of the annual interest charge wa $4 .29. Last year it was but eighty-thre cents. The ratio of the principal is no\ but two-thirds what it then was; that o the annual interest is but a little mor than one-fifth. The Philadelphia mint is now prepare* to meet the large demand for one and fiv cent pieces. The demand for mino eoin is almost unprecedented, and i equally great in the "West, South am North. A natural tendency of busines depression is to rcduce the demand fo small coin, and the fractional and mino coin finds its way to the Treasury. A business revives and small transaction increase in numberthe demand increases In this case the one and live ccnt piece in the Treasury are being cleaned an reissued as rapidly as possible by th Philadelphia Mint under a small apprt priation for that purpose, and dimes ai being coined under an appropriation f( the recoinage of obsolete or uncurrei coin in the Treasury.

But Dr. Thomi S. Sozinskey, of Philadelphia, writes a elaborate paper in the Medical and Surg eal Reporter to express his doubt as 1 the theory that the average length < human life is increasing, and presen an array of figures of the mortality i England and the United States to susta his view. He shows by authentic figur that life is longest in Ireland, whose pe pie, Dr. Sozinskey says, are supposed be singularly oblivious to sanitary sc ence. The influences working again the race he holds to be the artificial mo< of existence in civilized countries. This is the season of the year when tl tales of tough old men begin the rounds. Conneticut boasts that Colon George L. Perkins, of Norwich, who b gan his 99th year la t August, has bei treasurer of the Norwich and Worcest Railroad Company from the beginnin and is not?as might be inferred fro his great age?merely a figurehead, b is the active manager of its finances t day, and is the source of knowledge which the stockholders refer for i formation concerning the property fro the time of its charter to the present.

The ttuique exli ample of a town undergoing direct r< transition from oil lighting to electric ilK lumination without passing through the i- intermediate stage of g:is lighting is pre,E scntcd by the little town of Tivoli, near is Rome. Upon the occasion of the inau- A] '0 guration a large number of invited ? guests from the town and from Rome were received by the municipality and ] citizens. The guests included the rep" resentatives of England, Spain, Austria s*a 15 and other nations, and after the city had l' been illuminated a ^rand banquet was cu. U partaken of in honor of the occasion and dy lj was followed by a musical entertainment coi " in the town hall. The success of the Th ? lighting is complete. Arrangements arc '' being made for private lighting in Tivoli pie ^ aud for transmitting 200-horse-power lea from Tivoli to Rome for lighting pur- sor po? es in the latter city. ^} The American Cvltivator philosoph- 3 ically remarks: "Modern civilization, sjn | which furnishes so many aids to our 1 q natural facilities, makes us pay the pen- pg alty by diminishing their vigor.. The ter electric light enables us to turn night ^ into day, but it is terribly trying to the is i . eye-sight. The telephone and the loud noises of large cities dull the sense of we hearing, so that deafness is becoming more common. The sedentary life, which me appears to be the inevitable concomitant ^ ,t of the highest scholarship, is detrimental inf c to physical and manly vigor. Of all ^ ,r classes none have received more advan- So f. tage with fewer drawbacks than resie dents of the country. Much of the severe we -wT. *?

The greater rai g healthfulness of country life remains,and ,j with it arc opportunities for intellectual improvement that fifty or eighty years vei ago were confined almost entirely to cities. p? Out near the Nevada line some twenty!? five years ago, so the story runs, a won- on derfully rich mine was 'discovered. Its ^ finders died, and only the news of their of '* rich luck came to the cars of the outside lS world. Time and-again other adventur- th< Q ers tried to find the long-lost spot of fe{ 3 treasure. Several weeks ago a fresh mi 3 party of wealth seekers left Los Angeles ^ ^ to hunt for the golden glory of the Pa- aw ifc i cific slope. Through the Cajon pass, ^ > I over the Mojave desert, around the foot clc WI I of the Amargosa Mountains they jour- r?" J ncyed through Death Valley. The Au- pl< I gust sun was at its hottest, and the for- no' b tune seekers experienced every torment ' conceivable. On every side they saw the skulls and bones of those who had gone before them on similar errands. East of en n the Amargosa Mountains they lost their 8 bearings. Their water barrels shrank ha e and fell apart, and their thirst was un- Wf '? quenched day after day. They dug for l* water, but it was salt and made both ' | l* horses and men sick. At last they e reached the mountains and wearily ber i gan prospecting. No success came until, N< 0 j after many days, they shoveled out some , gravel that abounded in coarse gold ga a i chunks worth from $1 to $5. Then they thi s j knew they had found the long-lost treas- thi e ure ground which Goulder had found bn v twenty-five years before. They staked fe< * their claim, gathered specimens of gold- ^ 6 bearing rock, silver, silver ore, galena of and copper. At last a wearv journey m< was made back to Los Angeles, 200 miles away. There full equipment was di 6 made ready to return to the famous mine r and wrest from nature that which has ne cost so many lives and many years. 1 1 BE 3 Coral Fishing. r There is a prevailing impression among gC r the young that men dive down to the bot- ho s torn of the sea for coral. A little girl w< g once told us, with big, wondering eyes, ^ how the coral diver would dive down ar' J* head first to the very bed of the ocean, mi 3 and after a long while come up with a re; d handsome coral necklace around his neck st< LC and two or three bracelets on each wrist, which was considered a pretty good mess ve of coral to catch at a single dive. The mi 'e truth is, however, that the coral is ob- tie )r , taiiied by means of a wooden apparatus se' :t j in the shape of a cross, having in its tenI tre a leaden stone or slug for ballast. Nets, pc the meshes of which are loose, are hung ho on the bars of the cross and dragged at la it the bottom of the sea, and among the it crevices of the rocks. These nets, windj. ing about the coraline plant, break up or tear off its branches, which adhere to IP ? i rr%\ 4 _ j , tne mesnes. me apparatus is urawii up i\ in by the fisherman whenever he thinks it is is sufficiently laden. Coral fishing is 3. largely followed in Algeria, the annual m production amounting to $190,000.? of Texas SiJ'tings. Fi Q v( A Doctor's Queer Experience. CI :o Doctor's meet with some queer ex)f periences, sure enough, and a great many Fi ts i of them could, if they would, tell us true aI jn and uncanny tales of the tragedies of p{ life and death among their clients.

St Henry Clay never was at a loss for a fr m word or "boggled" while speaking.

It was not an earthquake, but c ssion from the explosion of half a ton namite at Bayehester, in Westches inty, N. Y., on the Long Island Soui e mixing-house of the Dittmar Powi inufacturing Company there wa3 spl; eJ and four workmen were blown ices. How it happened can never raed, as the four men were the only p is in the place at the time. They were: Ernest Drahn. aged thirty-five; leave dow and two children in Germany, lohn Roesch, aged twenty-eight, "single tfax Trachbrodt, aged twenty-two, sing irnest Reinhardt, aged twenty-fo gle. Lne Dittmar works were scattered ab Br twenty or thirty acres on the shore lham Bay, just north and east of Bayd station, on the Harlem River branch 5 New York, New Haven and Hartf< .ilroad. In 18S1 Carl Dittmar, who says the inventor of dynamite, and who was st to use it in this country, be^an maki j explosive at Bayehester.

When t the workmen were making cartridf uger had been absent only a lew minu len there was a sharp report and a terr >ck. The wiudows in all the houses les around were broken. There was a fli >t before the earth quaked. Instantly 3 debris that fell in showers on the sit* ) mixing-house was aflame. Sacks of p rized sawdust smouldered long aftsr lintered timbers had been consumed. Fc in Kruger, with the assistance of seve ople who flocked to the scene, beean hu ; for the remains of four victims. Dur s day four boxes full of charred pieces mati flesh and bones were gathered. C er Tice ordered these remains to be loci in the powder magazine. This is a d tin the side of a little mound, with sixl earth on top and similarly banked on tl les. In this are 5,000 pounds of blast wder. It was about the only structuri s company that was not damaged. rhc e irth was scooped out to a depth of it, like the crater of a volcano, where xinq-house stood. That and heaps of as e all that are left of it. Chunks of char >od and splinters were hurled 500 ya ay and the ground literally covered w ips. A big cedar tree was torn up by ots and the branches stripped as dry ( san as a bone. One end of the engino-no is blown out by the strong current of shing to fill the vacuum created by the jsion. The direction of the blast wa b northwest and, fortunately, there w buildings in its track. The detached sh d buildings of the company were all di ed, though some escaped with only bro ndows. Foreman Kruger told a reporter thai ought one of the poachers fired a shot t tered the mixing house and ignited the Dsives. A. C. Dittmar, who was summo jm New York, thought the accident n ve been due to carelessness. He said >rked all about the works and never raid of an explosion.

The National Bureau of Agriculture at Washington i* actively engaged in devising and putting: in operation measures looting tj the extirpation of pleuro-pneumouia, and Cotnmis? sioner Norman J. Colman has resolved 1 to adopt every legitimate means in hit lU _1. >v# j power i/o '.-utkjk. mo ouiuiean. ui umj I disease' reported from Chicago. Comment> ing on a dispatch from the President of the I International Range Association protesting c against the sale of any of the cattle that had a been exposed to pleuropneumonia in the . vicinity of Chicago, Commissioner Coleman l said: ) " These people must be crazy to think the . department will permit any of these cattle to be sold. We nave quarantined them; [ doubled our forces on Saturday, and are now going to send out 6ome of the most expert 1 veterinarians, so as to stamp out the disease . at once and do everything tbat the departt ment can legitimately do. We did not get through Congress the bill we expected to piss on this subject, so we can only second the efforts of the State authorities and assist in carrying out the State laws. Under existing law we can only stamp out the disease in a State with the permission of the local authorities. Sometimes the Governor of the* I State will not consent to federal interference, so we can only second the efforts." i The Commissioner has drawn up and forwarded to the Governors of all the State# and Territories a series of rules and regula3 tions for co-operation between the United 7 State) Department of Agriculture and the a authorities of the several States and Terrii. tories for the suppression and extirpation ' B of contagious pleuro- pneumonia, and if , they receive the consent of the State anJ thorities the Bureau will make a. sys3 tematic and determined attempt to stamp * out the disease by attacking simultaneously , every affected district The circular recites j the provisions of the law, laying particular s stress on the section which makes ft a requi?> 7 ite for action by the department to first sell cure the consent of the State authorities and ^ 9 then lays down t^e rules aud regulations which are deemed necessary to insure results commensurate with the money (?100,00J) authorized to be expended. The rules and regulations provide for the furnishing of necesary inspectors by the Department of Agriculture, who are to act I under the authorization and protection of the authorities of the States where they are j placed on duty. When an inspactor discovers a herd infected with contagious pleurot pneumonia he will at once report it to the prooer State authorities as well as to Washington. vVhen the disease is discovered the <juaran? 1 tine regulations of the State in which the herd is located are ta be enforced from that ' time. The affected auimals will be isolated r when possible until they can be appraised and slaughtered. To insure a perfect and s-atisa factory quarantine, a chain, fastened with A u numbered lock, will be placed around the horns, or, with hornless animals, around the , neck, and a record will be kept showing the ? number of the lock placed upon each animal in the herd. Quarantine restrictions once imposed are not to be removed by the State authorities " without the consent of the proper officers of - ^ -* a?; ? mu? tno jjepariuieat ui iuuhuio. mg r of quarantine will be at least ninety days. dating from the removal of the last diseased i animal from the herd. e All animals affect 3d with contagious pleuroa pneumonia are to te slaughtered as soon after their discovery as the necessary arrangeY mailt:; can be mad'i. Wbon diseased animals e are reported to the State authorities they t. shall promptly take such steps as they desire to confirm the diagnosis. Inoculation is n -t recommended by the u Department of Agriculture, and it is believed 0 that its adoption with animals that are to be s afterward sold to go into other herds would counteract the good results which would r otherwise follow from the slaughter of diah eased animals. It may, however, be practised i* by Mate authorities under the following rules: No herds but those in whiihpleurog pneumonia has appeared are to be inocue lated; inoculated herds are to be quaran* e tined with lock and chain on each animal; ij the quarantine restrictions are to remain in force as long as any inoculated survive, and _ theae anima s are t j leave the premises only 0 for immediate slaughter. Fresh animals are . to be ta'-en into inoculated herds only at the . risk of the owner, and shall be subject to the same rules as the other cattle of the inoculated herd. The Chief of the Bureau of Ant* ma I Industry is to De promptly the State authorities of each herd inocuJatea, of the final disposition of each member of th# herd, of the post-mortem appearances, and ? of any other facts in the history of the hen} which may prove of value. mlfATIONALGAME. e b- The New Yorks and Chicagos have each made 1,C00 base hits. e Detroit heads the clubs in batting and i- New Yorks in fielding.

"Big Five" next year, according to the Hart" r ford Post, are: Mack, $2,500; Kreig, $2,000; Gilmore, 1,7.50; Schoek, $1,750, and Henry, $1,SC0. Hayes is receiving $400 per month. / There is every probability that Anson, of / the Chica^os, will maintain his lead in bat- ?. / ting to the end of the season. If he does, ? he will have the remarkable record of hav5 ing been the leader three years in the ten * that has elapsed since the League was or' ganized. According to the record of the League ? players up to a recent dato, the best batting would be as follows: Bufiinton, of Boston, pitcher: Bealy, of Boston, catcher; Anson. { of Chicago, first base: Dunlap, of Detroit, { second base; White, of Detroit, third base; Glasscock, of St Louis, short stop; H. Richardson, of Detroit, right field; Hines, of Washington, centre field, and Kelly, of Chicago, right field. Roger Connor, first baseman of the New Yorks, has at last achieved the task he had set himself for three years past, of knocking a ball over the twenty-foot high right fiela ? fence of the Polo Grounds. He landed it in a lot across 112th street, 450 feet from the X home plate. This is the first time the feat i has ever been accomplished and it may not be repeated for years. It was undoubtedly the longest hit ever made in New York. It ' was made off Radbourn.the Boston's pitcher. NATIONAL LEAGCE.
