I According to the New York (‘onmur—

have learned the secret of managing the
police force. Within the limits of two
small blocks in the Chinese section of the
city there are. our courtemporary asserts,
between forty and fifty (‘hinesegambling
saloons, the proprietors of which pay on y
an average $5 a we k for “protection.“

A German observer oblature says that
the persons a ho think they see thumb r
storms going on down below them are
the victims of an optical delusion. He
refers to those persons who declare that
they have tier-n such phenomena among
the mountains. (Ilm-rvations in‘avle by
him among the Alps have convillt'ctl him
that the lowest stratum of clouds in a
thunder storm is never lass than 4,200
feet above the earth, and that generally
it is 7,500 feet up. 'l‘lrb, says livr'ptr‘s
‘di'rell‘rr, might be reasoning to nervous
.peoplc who fear that they and thunder '
{storms are likely to cone in corrtact,\\'erc I
it not for the fact that the most terrible '
parts of these storms notoriously come as
low down as church steeplcs and pcr~ous
standing in open fields, Perhaps it was
not cloud strata that the mountain
touri~ts were speaking of, but the light-
liings which escaped from them. anal
which they ubscrvul playing far bclow.
l The Corean peninorla, which is a kind
of forefinger of China‘s lratrd stretched
out into the Pacific, may possiblyhipcn
up by and by as a new goldrlii-ld. Mr.
Foulk, our consul at “'onsan, has sent
to \i‘ashington some very intcrcsting
statistics on the subject, and a succinct
“shimmy ofAtbc ‘ yellow fever.“ "Fire on-
tives have no, machinery, no nnans of
digging into the bowch of thccarth. but
in simply hunting over the surface dar~
ing the last year they have piekel up
nuggets and particles worth smoothing

at present an obstacle to foreign enter-
prise. There is so firm a prctljrzd‘ez-
against outsider that thcy are apt to find
a grave at the some time that they find
gold. This fact is only a slight deter-

and Europeans will truth the natives a
lesson in the resources of civilization.

An Ashevillc «N. (ll letter says: “The.
mineral resources of this section of .\'orth
Carolina are attracting renewed attention.
‘A few days since machinery for citensive
goldntining operations passed through
this city for Swain t‘ount y. There were
several car-loads of engines and huge
hydraulic attachments which impressed
the observer with the idea that the com~
giany beginningrthis work meant to get
the gold out if there be any. in llendee

operation and is reported to be rich in
the deposits of the precious metal.
Northern captitalists are beginning to
invest in mineral lands in this State.
lmmigation Agent J. 'l‘.l’atrick informed
me that within the near future a large
number of men of means from the North
would consummate negotiations now
pending and come to this State to carry
on mining operations. In the last sixty
days he says that #200,000 of Northern

Some time ago arf American wag wrote
an account of a gelatine shirt that Edison
had invented. It was said to be mad’c of
thin sheets of gelatine, each sheet to be
taken ofl when soiled; and there were

newspapers and at last in llraril, when

An Austrian newspaper relates that 's
royal eagle recently swooped down upon
two children. aged respectively thirteen
and eight years, who were minding cattle
in an Alpine valley, near Wippachfin the
district of Goritz in Illyria. The eagle,
seizing the smaller 3. the boys with beak
and talons, lifted him from the ground
and tried to carry him off. “is screams
brought to his assistance his companion,
’w‘no strtnk the eagle on the head with a
knotted stick he had, partly stunning it.
It endeavored lo fly off, but its injuries
impeded it, and a few minutes later it
was shot by a huntsman. The _winga
'measured nearly eleven feet across.
Time's, “liucklcberry patches all over the
State have been considered lawful game
for anybody who chose to walk in and

made an addition to their usually scant

and selling bucklcbcrrirs, cai‘ricd the
matter before the General Assembly last
winter and succeeded in haying a spri‘ial

bcrry patches from rnarauding parties,
. who frequently disregarded both law and
courtesy by letting down bars, lcav~
, in;r gates open, and other annoying acts

i this year as formerly. ()nc old farmer in
ilkdyard, however, says ‘he don‘t want

' sician was at School in a South (lcrrnau

it to her pocket. In extreme mortifica-
tion she put up the ofl'ending object and
suffered until the close of the long SC!“
vice. 0n reaching the school she was
summoned before the principal, who ad~
dressed her thus: “Miss , from
your father‘shigh rank in his professi in
and the status of your family I was led
to believe that you were in every respect
well bred and had due reverence for the
house of God. 1 am. therefore, both as-
tonished and mortified to learn f rom the
teacher in charge that you carried a fan
to church and fanned yourself. Do you
not know that such a proceeding is un»
becoming to a lady and a Christian.
Would you place the church on a par
with the theatre? Never has so great a
breach of manners occurred in my school,
and I must beg of you neverto repeat the
offence" The astounded maiden told the
wounded dame that in her country fans
were always used in church and she
could not know that it was. improper to
use them in Germany. “Is it possible
that you Amerie insfan in cburchl‘ I had
always supposed you to be a religious

have about religion. As you $0.11) to be
so sincere I will pardon this oflence' and
make no further mention of it. 7 But, my
dear girl, never forget that it is really,
dreadful to use a fan in a German
church." The consistency of this prohi-
bition is at once apparent in view of the
fact that while fans are banned from
German churches, t e use of foot muffs
and warming pans is considered alto

11 After His Victim’s Death.
Aterrlble tragedy was enactel the other
morning at Huron, lnd., a quiet; little bam-
let of two hundred inhabitants, on the Obie
and Mississippi Railroad. Residents Of the
place were startled about one o’clock in the
morning by cries for help Dr. W. 0. But»
ler‘s wife heard the cries and awoke her hus~
band, who immediately went to the rescue.
He was soon joined by others, who. 'on ur-
riving mat-1r the point. h‘ornrwhich the cries
came. perceived ' two men struggling, but
failed to recognize either. .
As they approached one man drew a knife
and plunge t it into the other, after which he
fled. 'l’hscmwrl passed the fallen man and
pursuct the murderer. Attcrfa short race,
and tiring several shots. he was brought to
buy in the grass near the railroad culvert.
Returning to where the fallen man lay they
discovered it was Mr. John T. Davis, a
highly rospeemble citizen, and agent of
the “bio and Mississippi barlrond
at Huron. He was then without the
power of s1 cosh. There was a cut about four
inches long" in. the muscle of the right. arm,

Atter securing the murderer the yrowd
brought him back to where his victim luv
