i4 HOOSIER IN LUCK.
. Remarkable Story of an Indiana Boy's
Adventures in Brazilian Wilds.
From the Indianapolis Journal, April 12th.
San ford Morris of this city has just re
ceived from his ton, Ernest Morn's.,
the hoy naturalist now seeking fame and
specimens m Brazil, a letter which tells a
most remarkable story of his good for
tune, in quite a difteient field. Nearly
two years ago young Morris, enthusiastic
in natural history and only eighteen vears
ot age, left Indianapolis, struck the Ohio,
and reached New Orleans by a skiff V03
uge, and thence sailed for Paia, in Brazil,
intending to ascend the Amazon and col
lect specimens 111 the wild South American
forests. Report ol his exploration have ,
been received and published from time to I
time, a& he reached points of communica- I
lion along the route. He has asconded to
the fountains of the Arazon in Ecuador,
hundreds of miles beyond the point reach
ed by the naturalist Bate. sgiH out. snmn '
years ago by the British Government, and
lurnished with unlimited means. Ac
counts of his wonderful adventures and
successful areer as a lover or sience hav
ing reached the cars of the Smithsonian
Institute, and various scier.tiiic associa
tions in S'ew York and Philadelphia, he
has been entrasred to dnlivor Wim-pcnn l.iw
return, and an Eastern publishing house
will lon.-.i. k:.. : t ' i . " -. i

writes to his family here relating the grand
est otall adventuiesyet. The story is as J
juuows, anu reaa nice a chapter liom the!
Arabian Knights: ""While near Sautarm, 1
below Villa Franca, a furious storm arose.
Whilepreparing shelter with palms hesaw
a 3'oung Indian maiden on the stream in a
light canoe and trying to make the shore
before the storm came on. She was not 1
equal to the task, and Morris, noticing she
"was being dawn slowhy to waid the power
ful current, swam boldly out to her rescue,
at great peril to himself, and pushed the
canoe salely to the shore. Her gratitude
took the shape of an invitation to coi duct
Jier home. The young hei o accepter, and
after aweary tramp and some snapshoot
ing at wild beasts on the way, returned
her home, only to find, to his surprise,
that her father was a native chief of a pow
erful Brazilian tiibe, and owned title deeds
to the vast legion tying between the river
Amazon and the Sierra Acary range of
mountains, and that the girl was his only
child. The old chiet overwhelmed him
with kindness and gifts, has taken him into
the family, and now offers him the hand of
Miss Princes who is extremely beauliful
and wears a diamond-studded giidle that
would ransom a king. He promises
Moms countless treasures from his dia
mond beds and golfl field-, and the help of
but liis pride i pitched in a royal key, 1
aiiu oeioie niarragecan take pace he in
sists that the .on of science shall tske the
Indian beauty to his American home as a
sister and obtain the consent of his parents
to the match.'" The father runs a 10x12
lamp store here, and though he cautioned
Ernest not to get mixed up with anv of
those girls down there, he shows a dispos
ition to favor this diamond future tor his
son.
M. Habel says it is a mistake to
suppose that the accumulation of
guano on the islands of Chincha
consists of the excrements of sea
birds inhabiting those islands.
In reality, it is composed of two
stratas, differing both in the mode
and date of their origin. The up
per stratum, far the smaller, is
composed of the excremeuts and
bodies of birds and seals now oc
cupying these islands. The lower
statum took its commencement in
pre-historic times from excrements
of birds let fall to the bottom of the
sea, only a limited portion of
which was occupied by these birds.
The statum thus formed has been
since raised (as still occurs m the
present day), at the same time as
the bottom of the sea and the is
lands themselves are only the re
sult of these upheavals.
Advertise An exchange says: Mnybo
you think that people don't like to read
advcrtisdiuonts ! If you do you are much
A mistaken. Fresh, well-put well-placed ad
vertisements are news ! Thoy aro welcomed,
read-nay, studied.! The newspaper that is
nhvo with them is increasingly acceptable
and so is the business house that knows how
to get them up, possessed withal with the
sagacity and nerve to keep them up.
Warning to Delinquent Sui;scriijers. A
Kussian paper announces that a belief in the
approaching end of the world has seized on
the Cossacks of the Don. Many t especially
azed. people, are giving up wordlv affairs,
wearing a shroud, and ordering their coffins.
Un every road aro men repairing to Moscow
to be consecrated prices, in order that the
smallest village may have its own priest and
church. iho Russian paper fails to state
whether its delinquent subscribers have taken
the scare and paid up. That to our mind
would bo stronger evidence of the approach of
tae .Millennium than any thing that a super
stitious Cossack could advance.
Don't Re x.d Advertisements. Occasionally
a business man is encountered who professes
to believe that" p'eoplc don't read advertise
ments any how !" A greater mistake is sel
dom made, if a typographical error creeps
into an ad. it soon becomes the talk of the
neighborhood, and if the people do not read
ads. how do they drop' on errors with such
facility ? The other dayihe advertisement of
'the Centennial Kcstaurant appeared, in which
tho word ' eating" was set up" fating," where
upon we were duly notified of tho error by
seven Salinasites and one Chinaman, and last
ly, the Monterey Herald felt in duty bound to
notify us also. Diily llecorder, Salinas City,
California.
