Tbe political obange in the administra

There Ik considerable discussion just
now, says the Atlanta Journal, about
the prospects of pold mining' in the
south. It is known that there is a
vast, quantity of Rold-bearinp roclt in
Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
Oeoi-jjia and Alabama. Though mil
lions of (fold have been taken out of
these beds most of them have not been
thoroughly worked and many of them
have been merely scratched. Up to
the time (Told was discovered in Cali
fornia there had been produced iu the
United States 813,808,576, and all ex
cept K7,H&0 came from southern states.
Nearly all the previous gold nnnin(r
in the south has been conducted on
methods which are now obsolete. The
Improved methods of working sul
phuret ores open a new prospect for
(fold mining in the south.
The ollloiul llfrures show that up to
180'J Georgia hud produced 15,002.2(10
worth of gold, North Carolina .Kl,5b5,
844, and Virginia 8:1,180,010. These are
the ollkial figures, but the real value
of the (fold product of these states has
undoubtedly been much greater.
I'rof. Stone, after u visit to Califor
nia in 187:1, said that he was satisfied
that the gold ores in the south are the
richest aud easiest to work in this
country. Recently there have been
many prospectors through the gold re
gions of the south and we look for in
creased activity in gold mining in
Georgia and every other southern
state where there are known to be
heavy deposits of gold.
Italian I'uUoner..
The beginning of the eighteenth cen
tury witnessed an epidemic of poison
ing in France as well as Italy. The
business was begun in France by two
Italian poisoners named Kxili and
Cluser. The poisoners were discovered
by the aid of the clergy. Kxili aud
lilaser were sent to the bastile, where
they both died. The latter lived long
enough, however, to communicate the
secrets of his business to the infamous
St. Croix, who became the teacher of
the equally infamous Mine, llrinvil
liers. St. Croix was Instrumental in
the deathof alarge number of persons,
and finally was himself found dead iu
his laboratory, where he had been
overcome by the noxious vapors of the
poisons he was distilling.
"I notice," said the woman with the
steel-bowed glasses, "that if a married
woman happens to get killed the pa
pers announce that 'Mary Smith, wife
of John Smith, was run over bv the
ears,' for instance, If John himself
gets it there is not a word said of Mary,
except to mention that he leaves a
widow. Aud that's why I'm kicking."

BpanUh Maiden Meets and V'n
qul.be. a Man In a
PneL
A famous heroine in her way was
Catalina de Krauso, still remembered
vaguely as the "Spanish soldier nun."
She left memoirs which have been
translated or summarizod or "romanci
fied" in most European tonjfues. Tbe
truth of them has been disputed, but
the writer points out that, upon the
other hand, popes and kings, nobles
and servants accepted every word
while evidence remained to support or
question the statements, says the Phil
adelphia Telegraph.
Catalina ran away from a nunnery
in San Sebastian at the age of fifteen,
transformed her conventual habili
ments into doublets and hose, and
found employment as a page in the
household of a noble at Valladolid.
Driven from this refuge by the appear
ance of her fatherwho had no sus
picion, nevertheless she joined an ex
pedition sailing for Peru under charge
of Ferdinand de. Cordova. Her ship
was wrecked off Pita and she alone re
fused to desert the captain, who stood
by his vessel. Catalina then built a
little raft, broke open the treasure
chest, took as much gold as she could
carry and set off for the shore, but the
captain was drowned embarking. She
reached the town and accepted an en
gagement as manager to the tailor
who made her new clothes. Complica
tions of business and passion for a
great lady fell in love at 6ight led to
a first duel, in which she killed her
man promptly. The great lady smug
gled her out of prison, hut Catalina
found it necessary to repay this service
by pushing the dame downstairs, prob
ably breaking her neck. Then she
jumped into a boat, put to sea, and
was picked up by a Spanish vessel
bound for Concepcion.
At this place her brother was secre
tary to the governor, and he, all un
conscious of the relationship, go her
a commission in the army. Very soon
afterward she distinguished herself in
an engagement, and for twelve years
ranked as one of the most brilliant of
ficers of the Spanish service living
mostly with her brother, but keeping
the secret. This happy time came to
an end in a midnight duel, when she
killed a man unknown, who proved to
be this same brother. Flying for life
once more, Catalina crossed the Andes.
All her companions perished, but she
reached Tucuman after terrible adven
tures. Another love affair, all on one
side, and another fatal duel brought
her literally to the gallows, but with
the rope around her neck she escaped.
Traveling on to Cuzco, she joined an
Alcalde with a pretty wife and a gen
tleman, his friends. In a very few
days Catalina perceived that these two
had an understanding. The Alcalde
perceived it also and took an oppor
tunity to murder his faithless fried,
lie would have murdered his wife, but
Catalina snatched her to the saddle
and rode furiously for Cuzco. The
Alcalde pursuing, she ran him through,
but received a desperate wound. The
fugitives got safely to the bishop's
palace. Catalina knew, however, that
lier secret must be discovered now.
She had just strength enough to reveal
it to the bishop before fainting. The
worthy man reported the whole story
to the king, who sent orders that Cata
lina should be dispatched by the next
ship.
All Spain declared for the hero- i
ine. At her arrival Count Olivarezhim-
self, the prime minister, met her; the
king kissed her; the pope sent for and
forgave her and Velasquez painted her

HAD THE VINEGAR HABIT.
Woman'. Vanity intimately Cost Her Life
by Slow I'olnon.
"I once had a patient," said a Roch
ester (N. Y.) physican to a St. Louis
reporter, "who poisoned herself with
vinegar.
"I was never a burning and shining
light in the medical profession, and
hence it Is not surprising that the case
baffled my investigation for a year,
though I have the consolation of
knowing that four eminent physicians
who were called in for consultation at
tributed the lady's evident breaking
up to four different causes, none of
them remotely connected with the real
one. The chief symptom was lassitude
and deathly whiteness, and the lady,
who had no other companion but an
Ignorant, though faithful, colored at
tendant, finally died before reaching
her thirtieth year.
"Subsequent Investigation proved
that she was a vinegar fiend, and that,
while refusing food of every descrip
tion, she was drinking large quantities
of vinegar. As the habit grew upon
her she secured stronger grades, unt il
finally she was drinking acetic acid
but very slightly diluted. There are
cases on record of persons who have
been poisoned by overdoses of vinegar,
taken to improve the complexion, but
tins is the only case i ever neara oi
anyone acquiring a vinegar habit and
pursuing it steadily until it caused
death."
VOLCANOES IN ALASKA.
More Than Two Score of Thrm Have
Been Active III the 1're.ent Centarr.
Recently 1 read an account of a bona
fide advertisement iu a Scandinavian
paper of stupendous volcanoes for sale
for about four hundred dollars, says a
writer in the Christian Advocate.
They are located in Iceland. Alaska
might glut the market in this nwthetic
article if it were to put all its stock on
sale. The number which have been
active within one hundred years is va
riously estimated by the authorities I
have consulted as all the way from
forty-tlve to sixty-one. More than
twelve have been active within twen
ty years and five at least within four
years. Among the most lurkable is
llogorlof, one hundred miles west of
Unalaskn. This, about six hundred
feet high, together w ith the part of the
island from which it rises, has come
up out of the sea within a few years,
and constantly sends out steam aud
smoke. Mukushin, on Unalaska,
though snow-covered, pours out im
mense volumes of steam and milk
white smoke, visible on a clear day
nearly sixty miles at sea. Akutan acts
like a geyser, pulling at intervals of a
few seconds. Shishaldin, on Cunimak
island, a perfect cone S,75. feet above
the sea. snow-covered, but washetl by
the ocean tit its base, striped down its
sidds with a.Otes una eoiuiensed smoke,
was still smoking.
Ic has no foot hills, and its precipi
tous slopes fall into the great Pacific
ocean on the south and liering sea on
t:e Rortn.' Liuuif savs: "It lS wnolly i
i to sav thot ShHiak'tiu is the. iiOt
beautiful peak of vast altitude upon
the IJorth American continent."
"svlof, on the Alaska peninsula, sends
out from the side huge clouds of pitch
black smoke hot enough to melt two
feet of snowfall in a few minutes. It
puffs at intervals like a locomotive.
Ilnamna, on the shore of Cook's inlet,
is 12.006 feet high, and constantly
sends out ashes and smoke of brim
stone. In 1883 Mount St. Augustine,
150 miles north of Kadiak Island, was
active, and, according to theofficial re
port of Gov. Knapp, "covered the
decks of ships hundreds of miles at
sea with ashes." In l7lCapt. Lennan
was sent to the islands of the Four
Mountains, west of Umnak, to explore
a cave said to contain mummies (of
which he brought seventeen bodies,
now indifferent museums). While on
this trip he discovered on Kagamil
island a volcanic mountain of low
altitude, from which issued jets of
sulphurous steam, smoke and noxious
gases of such horrible stench as to
compel him to stand off from shore.
Mount St. Elias sent out smoke and
vapor in 1839, and in 1847, when "the
earthquake occurred which shook the
whole Sitka region, flame and ashes
came from its summit"
FRANK CONFESSION.
Sir Walter Boott's Waverler Not.1. rl
Vacation Kearilnf.
Robert Chambers, publisher, one
night appeared at his club, after a short
absence, and there delighted at least
one member J. C. Jeaffreson by a
deliciously frank expression of opinion,
says Youth's Companion. Jeaffreson
began the conversation by asking:
"What have you been doing since. I
saw you last?"
"I have joost been spending the time
in Scotland with my ain people, and
for my diversion I have been reading
yet again Scott's novels. I went de
liberately through the whole lot o'
them. What do you think of a raon o'
my years spending the greater part of
the long holidays in sic a way?"
"It was in that way that I first made
acquaintance with the Waverley nov
els," was the enthusiastic reply, "in a
broiling hot summer and autumn. How
you must have enjoyed yourself!"
"Weel, weel, I canna say," returned
the Scottish publisher and man of let
ters. Then he looked warily up and
down the room to make sure of not be
ing heard by any brother Scotsman,
and continued:
"I canna say I enjoyed the buiks so
much as I did in my younger time. I
would not say it aloud in Adinbro, but
weel you believe me when I say that
Sir Walter isn't what he used to be to
me? To tale you the truth," he added,
lowering his voice almost to a whisper,
"to tale you the truth, 1 found him
rather prosy! Ay, hut dinna be laugh
ing, or the lads there will be asking
what I said to you. 1 1 is the truth that
I tale you; I moost conface I fund him
at times a leetle prosy!"
THE Unin'j leticRIOR.
A French Scientist'. New Theory on a
Much-UlBru.fteri Subject.
The question which is at, present
more seriously exercising physicists
and causing the most marked divisions
of opinion among them is that of the
constitution of the earth's interior,
says an exchange. By some we are
told that within the crust is raging a
liquid fire of gases; by others that the
fire is not gaseous, but merely incan
descent solid matter, while a third sec
tion contends that the center of the
earth is not in a molten state at all,
that what little heat still exists is
being rapidly radiated, and that ere
long the earth will be a solid rock
throughout.
The most recent contribution on the
subject is that made by M. Lateau to
the French academy of sciences. In
bis judgment the phenomena of the
earth's crust are explained by regard
ing its interior as molten, but he as
sumes that a layer of gaseous matter
separates it from a portion of the crust
forming the continents, whereas the
sea beds sink. This theory, M. Lateau
thinks, explains why volcanoes have
successively receded inland where the
sea has encroached, though it scarcely
supplies an explanation for the exist
ing marine volcanoes. The gradual
escape of gases imprisoned under high
pressure will, we are told, excel in
time the production of new supplies,
and when the pressure diminishes the
continents will fall in and a more or
less crateriform configuration of the
earth's surface will be the result. This
is the condition of the moon's surface
at the present time, and M. Lateau be
lieves its appearance is due to action
similar to that which he supposes to be
in progress in the interior of this planet.
The physical essentials of this theory
assume the crust of the globe to be
eighteen and one-half miles thick, the
pressure of gases six hundred and fifty
atmospheres, their temperature nine
hundred degrees centigrade and their
density nearly equal to that of water.
Whatever may be thought of this view,
as a reasonable explanation it has the
merit of combining, in a measure, the
two most prominent theories on the
subject.
carrying power of bees.
Tbe Insect Transport Twice Thetr Own
Welcht on the Wlnf.
An interesting note about the weight
of bees appears in an American jour
nal devoted to agriculture. It seems
that an ordinary bee, not carrying any
load of pollen, weighs the one five
thousandth part of a pound. Five
thousand bees thus make a pound
weight When, however, the bee is
carrying his load of pollen or honey,
as he returns from foraging amid the
flowers, his weight is increased nearly
three times, lie carries thus about
twice his own weight, a result not sur
prising to those who have studied the
muscular powers and ways of insects
at large. When bees are loaded it re
quires only eighteen hundred of them
to make up the pound. Details are
also given regarding the number of
bees which mny exist in a hive. From
four to live pounds weight of bees are
found in an ordinary colony. This
means in figures of population some
twenty to t w e n t y - fi v e thousand
individuals. A big swarm, it is said,
will often double this estimate. Talk
ing of bees, if any of my readers wish
to indulge in a very curious aud fas
cinating bit of zoological study, they
should read the story of what is called
"parthenogenesis" in bees and other
insect, such as the aphides or green
flies of the roses and other plants. For
such eggs of the queen bee as are fer
tilized when laid turn out workers (or
neuters) or queens, while those which
are not fertilized at all develop into
males or drones. This is very singular,
beoause fertilization of an egg or seed
is regarded ordinarily as necessary for
I ita due development.

Arizona Mine.
The Bodent llurrow. HI. Way to an In

ner Supplying Hlln with the
Needed Air.
"You were asking about that stuffed
rat in my room," said Prof. CfcurchilL
the mining expert, to a New York Sun
man. "The story concerns an expe
rience that made my hair curL I was
once reta ined to report upon tht work
ings of a mine called the Little Thoop
Up, in southern Arizona. On an ad
joining claim was another mine called
the Atlas. A dispute arose. Tiie Atlas
people claimed that the lower tunnel
of the Whoop Up had been bored into
their ground and a half million in
ore taken out. The first thing to do
was to make a survey of the Whoop
Up, and, of course, the Whoop Up peo
ple objected. Finally an order for the
survey was secured from the court and
Dr. John II. I'arks and I were sent to
make the survey. There are tricks in
all trades, and the Whoop Up superin
tendent knew a few. When we reached
the mine he said the tunnel we
w ished to explore was in a dangerous
condition. There had been a cave, the
timbers were rotten, and so on. It
meant a ten to one chance that we
would be crushed if we triad it. Of
course, we classed him as a liar, though
he turned out to be right.
"We worked our way in the tunnel
until we ran against a jam of fallen
timbers which were sound aad were
plainly arranged to stop our progress.
Parks went back for an ax, while I
worked at the roof with a pick to dis
lodge the center pieces. I succeeded
and had climbed half way over into
the other side of the tunnel when there
came a terrific crash of loose ore from
the roof. It fell on both sides of the
timbers, pinning me in a hole which
would have been a grave right there
but for a few sticks which held the
mass of ore above. The place was
barely large enough to move in, and I
knew it was certain death in a few
hours unless Parks could dig me out.
liven then I believed I was gone, for 1
did not know how much ore had fallen.
In a few minutes the air got henvy,
and my eyes began to feel drowsy, and
it seemed like the roof and sides of the
hole were closing in on me. This op
pression and drowsiness increased until
I was forced to hammer the sides of the
place with my fists and head to keep
awake. Still not a sound could I hear
from the cutside, and only the slow
crumbling of ore from above. The
foul air was getting into my brain, and
I think I was actually insane witJh the
fearful dread of being burled alive.
Anyhow, I remember of dropping to
the floor of the hole, and giving a few
faint shouts which echoed back into
my ears. I had given up all hope-, and
was almost swooning when I hoard a
strange scraping sound above me. I
yelled, but received no answer, and
then I threw my body a'rainst the wlls
and tried to pfclc out the ore from be
tween the lodged timbers. Still came
the queer, scraping noise which seemed
to come nearer and nearer and sounded
not unlike the steady grinding' of a
saw. It seemed to last for hours,
though it could hardly have been a
minute after when a bit of earth
dropped to my feet from the tipper end
of the wall, and along with it came a
big gray mine rat, who saved my life,
for he had left a clear hole for his trail,
and through it came a breath of fresh
air that gave life to me. The fellow
had bored his way from the shaft side
of the cave. I stayed there two hours
after that, until Parks found the cave,
got help, and got me out without
breaking the air hole. I caught the
gray rat, too, and kept him well fed
until he died, and wouldn't take a lot
of money for his skin now."
NAPOLEON WAS IN SINQ
SING.
Visit
Locked Up by m Keeper While on
of Inspection In 1R37.
It is not generally known to the
world at large, says the New Yor It
Times, that Emperor Napoleon III. erf
France was once behind the bars i n
Sing Sing- prison. In the spring (ft
1837 Prince Louis Napoleon, afterwai il
N apoleon III., emperor of France, mat le
a visit to Washington Irving at Sunny
side, a little north of Irvington-on-the-Iludson,
accompanied by a young
French count, and escorted by Antho: ay
Constant, of Hastings. Prince NaiK
leon expressed a desire to visit the
prison at Sin? Sing, and Mr. Consteoit
drove him there. Upon arriving at1he
prison the party was welcomed by W ar
den Rowel, who, after taking them
into his apartments, explained the
means that had been attended with
the most successful and beneficial re
sults in the government of the pri Ron.
The warden told the prince, who had
been an interested listener, thali he
had a convict in the prison, a French
man, who was an old soldier, clarming
to have fought at Waterloo and to have
been in several battles with Napoleon,
the first emperor. The prince natural
ly asked to see the man. The w; krden
then explained that the prisoner was
in a dark cell for misconduct? that it
was contrary to prison rules, to j take
him out, but as the guests were, . ffoing
to visit the cells he would opon the
door of the Frenchman's cell. ' ( ' '
Then all followed the warden- down
the stairs and across the keyroofft ttnd
the narrow passages to the g&UeHe&,
where the cells were and are ovhis
dav. He paused at the second cell on
the right hand tier of the ma.pi gal
leries and unlocked and opened trie
door. Louts Is apoleon stepped vns'ide.
The warden, with a merry twinkle in
his eve, turned the key and locked hum
in. It was too good an opportunity to
be lost. The gentlemen were amusied
and brimming over with fun, when,
after a momentary detention, ttu door
was opened aud the noble Frenchman
joined them once more. They all en
joyed the joke except the subject of it.
His sallow couutenance reddened per
ceptibly for a time and then he joini'd
in the laugh raised at his expensa.
About 1SS.000.000 envelopes are . used
in this country annually.
Is 1S9-3 there were 447.A01 miles of
post routes in this country.
More than uO.000 stumps are said to
be found every year loose in the letter
bo-ves of the United Kingdom.
A srew postage stamp was issued by

bearing portraits of the king and queen.
Tuk sum of twelve cents has been

i postage stamps twice.
"For Years,'
Bays Cabris E. Stockwell, o( Chester
field, N. H.. "I was afflicted with an
extremely severe pain In the lower part of
the chest. The leeling was a.) if a ton
welcht was laid
on a spot the size
of my hand. lnr
litKthe attacks, the
peispira'lou would
acaud in drops on
my lace, aud it wa
i agony for me to
' make a ufnclen t
eff ort eveu to whis
per. They came
suddenly, at any
hour of the day or
night, lasting Horn
thirty minutes to
half a day, leaving as suddenly; but, for
several days after, I was quite pros
trated and sore. Sometimes Hie attacks
were almost daily, then less frequent. After
about four years of this suffering-. I was
taken down with bilious typhoid fever, and
when I began to recover, I had the worst
attack of my old trouhle I ever experienced.
At the first of the fever, my mother gave
me Ayer'. Pills, my doctor recommending
tliem as being better than anything he
could prepare. I continued taking these
Pills, and so great was the benefit derived
that during nearly thirty years I have had
but one attack of my former trouble, which
yielded readily to the same remedy."
