|l|p v! * JPaee to' Face With Cholera. ■ Me Harold Frenkkic, the London corres . pomlentof the "New York Times," re turned a few days ago from Toulon and ' Marseilles, where he spent the greater part of a week in ir aking a tour of the cholera :i hOßpitals, the cemeteries, &c, and invos ' tlgating, so Jar as time allowed, the causes of the epidemic now raging. He ■was kind enough to receive one of our re presentatives, who sends the following ac count of his interview :— | A PIOCKY JOURNALIST. | Mr Frederic looks none the worse for his I plucky adventure, although he evidently I neither spared himself nor bestowed much I' thought upon the risks that he ran. "I I am surprised," he remarked, "that no Eng t; ' liah newspaper has thought it worth while 1 to send a commissioner down to the m m' footed cholera districts and make a thorough [ report. I was desired by my chief in New I York to despatch amanat once and give f them along'cable.' Men are not always f" to be found, especially for such an under- I taking. I went myself, taking with me a I courier who could speak sevoral languagos. i: Besides, you know, in this case, although I [ never felt the least bit nervous, it was just I as well to have company in case of noed. In my hotel at Marseilles my courier and and myself wer« the only two guests, although there was accommodation for a 1 hundred or more in tho great building. Signs that table d'hfito was suspended .' were hung up everywhere in the house, I' but »nough citizens whoso families are out of town get their meals their to make '■ it worth while to keep the kitchen running. But the prices—well, I didn't X fall on my hoEVs neck when I left. But I he's right, after all. Including the jour l: nays, the work took me a week, during - which I worked like a horse, getting up early and going to bed late, eating well, drinking in moderation, and smoking a great deal. I smoke eight cigars a day in I my normal condition ; there I smoked ten. I' I abstained from frait, though my courier. I —who declined laughingly always to be on ' dress parade—took some pears. It was not; wise, but luckily he came to no harm. I SVEK^-DAT LIFE IN MARSEILLES. i: " The fashionable Btreeta of Marseilles

I give no sign that cholera is stalking in I tkeir midst. One does notice a large num- L ber of people in mourning; perhaps, one does not see so many nurses and children ; '.' but, for the rest, Marseilles is in its uiual ' state. Take the principal streets, the h\ Canebiere and the Rue St. Ferre"ol. In one only nine, in the other only four shopa r are closed. The cafes are doing a good I trade ; the bands play, the people amuse I themselves, and try to forget the cholera. I The Prado, the fashionable drive and pro ! menade of Marseilles, is as animated as II usual; as many equipages, as many people, I as at any time. One does not miss 1 75,000 who have fled, for nearly 300,000 re- P, main. Business is at a standstill, though H the banks and offices are open. The H harbour is full of shipping, but there is no M sound of' cranes—none of the bustle of H loading and unloading. Everyone is idle, f thecrewi perhaps down below, or some 1 of them away drinking, or others sprawling about the docks in the shade, lazily en- H joying their enforced holiday. In the cathedral I saw some four hundred women praying, with never a man among them.

IN THE SLUMS. "But go into the low quarters: then you will notice tho difference. At least a third of the shops are shut—some be cause their owners have taken to their heels,

1 and others have fallen victimstp the plague, - while some have found that it is immaterial whether their shops are open or shut. '} Among the worst quarters of Marseilles are the streets, wide and shadeless, on which M the sun beats down with relentless fierce- E| ness, in the quarters known a* Menpenti .: and Capelette-ronce, to judge from the houses, the residence of respectable people, ;. but now the home of the scum and the filth I of the city. The vallainaus-looking cafta aredoing a good trade, for everyone drinks, not from thirst but from fear. The shops ■ have a poverty-stricken air about them. 1 Many of them We devoted to the sale of t - rags, and the sweepings of the city, bonea, junk a collection of pestilence-breeding filth. I put my head into more than one , J of these wretched hovels. What interiors ~~ they- were! Thera four or five squalid wretches, sweltering, in the clost1, fcetid at mosphere, would be squatting among all this pestilential garbage. Who can wonder ■ that in these two quarters half the fatal '{■ cases have occurred? Then, again, there w a quarter of which La Caisserie isthear- L tery, a iiest of tenement houses, intersected jffr. by tortuous alleys and atench-laden courts, k into which the day's garbage was faithfully emptied. ' TOULON AND ITS BTEEETS. " Now, Toulon is famous for epidemics of ;;• typhoid and small-pox, and the last epi ■■ demic of small-pox carried off many more > victims than the preaent one of cholera. !' The normal death-rate is, so far as I re - member, 80 in 1,000, or 8 per cent., with a population of about 70,000. In London * the death-rate is, say, 23 in 1,000. To the ', v outward eye Toulon is strikingly pictur #* esquo, with its shady streets overhung by W Boftmaples,oleanders,andsemi-tropical foli • age. Butitsbeautyisbutasnare. The whole '" town is a doath-trap. At least two-thirds I: of the population have departed. In the |; Place d'Armes you meet but fifty people at J' noon, when in. ordinary times there would '" be ten times as many. You stroll along ■ the silent quays, which stretch along as far - &•> from Charing Cross to Temple Bar, the gun beating down with intense heat; at I least half the shops are closed, and the M other half doing but little business. In B| four streets, close to the station, I did not B see a single soul. Ordinarily some 12,000 H marines are stationed at Toulon, besides I sailors and regulars. Some of the troops are, I believe, camping outside the town, '-.• but the greater proportion of the forces re main. By the way, altogether twenty-nine oE the villages lying round Marseilles and '' Toulon have cholera in their midst, and in each of them there has been one or more ■ deaths. " THE DBAINAQE OF THE TWO TOWNS. "The harbour of Marseilles is land ;- locked. The drainage deposits date from H the time of Julius Caesar. Can you wonder 1 that an epidemic occasionally calls the fact I to mind? The Mediterranean is tideless, 1 ' the water in the harbour never changes, and B the result is a vast, stagnant, stinking pool. I can call it nothing else. The great ad- I vantage that the town has over Toulon is in B Its bountiful supply of fresh water, brought i from a distance of fifty-four miles, and dis ' charged from a height of 480 ft. There are I no open drains, and at present gutters are I converted into torrents which run in vol umes big enough to exhaust the Alps. But what of it? The deposit finds its way into I the harbour, and there it stops festering in . the sun. On both sides La Caisserie at ; Marseilles the water comes down in two i- streams, carrying past the doors of houses an over-accumulating collection of filth, which is dammed up at intervals of -every few rods. In these streams the 'children love to dabble. Now, Toulon is C infamous. It lies as flat as a pancake; there is no water supply; the drains are I- open, even in the main streets. Words *? cannot describe the exhalations. I leave B them to your imagination. The harbour is I landlocked by the mole which was built, so I it Is in as bad a case as Marseilles; nay, even worse, for the warships and training ships ■ which are always stationed there add their by ■no1 means small quota to the contri butions of the water's filth. THKOTTGH THE HOSPITAL WARDS.

"When the cholera broke out at Mar seilles the palace which was built for Napoleon HI., forfeited to the Ee nublic handed over to the Empress after ': iome litigation, and returned by her to the 1 the authorities; was turned into a hospital. It commands a splendid view of the har -1 bour occupies a fine position, and the 1 war d ß are spacious and commodious. The staff consists of two chiefs, four internes (who are not permitted to go beyond the gates), two chemists, ten listers and a number of servants. My guide was one of the internes, a young English I doctor named Bossano, who bravely volun- I teered for the work for the nake of | acquiring experience in his profession. The greatest number of patients in the - hospital at one time was 110, but there were only 84 beds occupied on the day of my •visit. .The recoveries have - averaged a third, the deaths two-thirds, for '; the past month, tut this excessive mortality ig due to the fftct that most of the patients »re very ill indeed before they reach the lital. Taken in a masa, much less than one-hall those who are stricken by cholera die. As wo passed from room to room I jr^nced at the poor creatures. Some were urfirious,' gabbling incessantly, others lay gtiii, with closed eyes, but conscious enough Ik and apparently painless; the faces of others, ■gj jtgoin, -were distorted with agony. In one E& vatA there lay twelve children. Near the H door one of the nuns waa nursing a child of ■■[eighteen months old. «It hag but a few ■.Hours to live,' said my guide. Close by B ftree beds were occupied by three «uten of

tho babe, from six to eleven years old. ' They have but a lew hours to live,' 1 heard my guide whisper again. Their father and mother went in one day. Children have but a slender chance of recovery. Tho doctors took no special precautions. I was offered camphor, but followed the advico of an^old sea captain,who said, 'Chew tobacco. I chewed tobacco going through tho wards and in tho coffin-room. Nine hours is tho average length of tho attack. The patient dies in an extremity of cold. After death the temperaturo of tho body rises to 1 JO dog. or 125 deg. This excessivo heat causes tho limbs to inovo ns if the patient were alive. In about three hours tho body gradually stiffens, and becomes cold again. It is then buried in the trenches. I made many in quiries, but the doctors keep their theories to themselves. Dr. Koch, I heard, scarcely spoke a word during his visits. They said ho kept his mouth shut to keep out tho microbes. When the patients are con valescent and fit to be discharged, they receive the clothes which they brought with them, they aro well fumigated, and tho doctor tells them they are free.

THE TOULON HOSPITALS.

"At Toulon there aro two hospitals, the Bon Recontre and St. Mandrier. I visited only the first of these, which contained thirty-four cases. At St. Mandrior some 115 caso3 were under treatment, but they were milder in form. Tho Bon Recontre was until April used as a boarding-school. During the holidays tho epidemic broko out and it was fitted up as a cholera hospital. The rooms aro airy and 'pleasant, though much smaller than the Marseilles hospital. The staff is made up of two chief medical officers, five doctors subordinate to them, four internes, a chemist, live sisters, eleven injirmiers, twelve servants, tnd somo voluntcors. One of these, by tho way, is famous as having spent much of hor lifo in the sorvico of cholera hospitals. This is Mdme. Lalando Dorvan, who has campaigned against the cholera in Greece, Egypt, Italy, and now in Franco. 1 never met such mercurial fellows a? four of tho doctors who went round the wards with mo —lively, chatting, laughing, cracking joke?, in spite of their grim surroundings. Tho poor, cholera-stricken patients lying in their beds were always delighted to see them, and this display of vivacity and oxuboranco of spirits seemed to throw fresh life into their poor, pain-tortured frames. In the garden which I explored I saw them wash ing the infected clothes in a tank some six feet wide, some four deop, and twenty long, having converted the school bath into a washing tub. The little chapel attached to the school served as a coffin room.

THE THREE STAGES.

" You feel a griping one morning. You tell your friend, if you have one. Yeu are takan to the hospital and consigned to the 1 observation room,' where you probably find others awaiting anxiously the doctor's diag nosis. After a mauvais quart d'heur you know your fate. It may be diarrhoea, or you may bo in one of the trenches by sun set. There are three stages, One goes in suffering from diarrhcea, gripings, and vomitings. They administer 20 drops of laudanum, 3or 4 grammes of ether. If you still vomit they give bits of ice in the mouth, and ply you with cooling drinks: stage num ber one. Stage number two: The extremities become cold, and colic rends tho body to pieces. You receive 10 to 15 grammes of acetate ammoniac, 10 to 20 grammes of alcohol; morphia is injected twice a day. Probably you cannot breathe. You inhale oxygen. That is the second stage. The third stage is the coffin. Nine hours is the average duration of the attack, but tho cases vary. One woman hovered between one sta^e and the other from July 1G to July 23, and died at last,"—"Pall Mall Gazette."

Dining Upon Underclothing.

" Perhaps the most remarkabh Christmas dinner at which I have ever been present,"

said Henry Irving, in a recent interview with a representative of the " New York Spirit of the Times," "was the one at which we dined upon underclothing." "Doyou mean upon your underclothing

or in your underclothing !" queried the astonished representative, conjuring up visions of Christmas dinners on uninhab' ited islands, at which shipwrecked mar iners have been known to devour thei apparel, and of. the tropical Christmas dinners in India and Australia, at which scanty costumes are appropriate to the climate, " Both 1" replied Mr Irving. "It is nota

story of wonderful adventure, but I'll tell it you if you have five minutes more to spare. l)o you remember Joe Robins, a nice, genial follow who played small parts in the provinces ? Ah, no ; that wag be fore yonr time. "Joe Robins was once in the gentlemau's furnishing business in London city. I think he had a wholesale trade, and was doing well. However, he belonged to (me of the semi-Bohemian clubs, associated a graat deal with actors and journalists, and when an amateur performance was organ ised for some charitable object, Joe was cast for the clown in a burlesque called ' Guy Fawkos.' "Perhaps he played tho part napitally ; perhaps his friends were making game of him when they loaded him with praises; perhaps the papers for which his Bohemian associates wrote went rather too far when they asserted that he was the artistic de scendant and successor of Grimaldi. At any rate, Joe believed all that was said tohim and written about him, and when some wit discovered that Grimaldi's name was also Joe, the fate of Joe Robins was sealed. He determined to go upon the stage pro fessionally and become a great actor. " Fortunately, Joe was able to dispose of his stock and good-will for a few hundred pounds, which he invested so as to give him an income sufficient to prevent the wolf from getting inside his door in oase he did not eclipse Garrick, Kean, and Kemble. He also packed up for himself a liberal sup ply of his wares and started in the pro fession with enough shirts, collars, handker chiefs, stockings, and underclothing to equip him for several years. "The amateur success of Poor Joe was never repeated on the regular stage. He did not make an absolute failure; no manager would intrust him with parts big enough for him to fail in. But he drifted down to general utility, and then out of London, and when I met him he was en gaged in a very small way, on a very small salary, at a Manchester Theatre. "His income eked out his salary; but Joe was a generous, great-hearted fellow, who liked everybody, and whom everybody liked, nnd when he had money he was always glad to spend it upon a friend or give it away to somebody moro needy. So, piece by piece, as necessity demanded, his princely supply of haberdashery had di minished, and now only a few shirts and under-clothes remained to him.

" Christmas came in very bitter weather. Joe had a part in the Christmas pantomine. H6 dressed with other poor actors, and he saw how thinly some of them were clad when they stripped before him to put on their stage costumes. JFor one poor fellow in especial his heart ached. In the depth of a very cold winter he was shivering in a suit of very light underclothing, and when ever Joe looked at him the warm flannel under-garments snugly packed away in an extra trnnk weighed heavily upon his mind. "Joe thought the matter over, and determined to give the actors who dressed with him a Christmas dinner. It was lit erally a dinner on underclothing, for the most of the shirts and drawers which Joe had cherished so long went to the pawn broker's or the slop-shop to provide the money for the meal. "The guests assembled promptly, for nobody else i 3 ever so hungry as a hungry actor. The dinner was to bo served at Joe's lodging?, and before it was placed on the table Joe beckoned his friend with the gauze underclothing into a bedroom, and, pointing to a chair, >rlently withdrew. " On that chair h'ung'a suitof under-wear which had been Joe's spride. It was of a comfortable scarlet colour; it was thick, warm and heavy ; it fitted tho poor actor as if it had been manufaeted especially to his measure. He put it on, as tho flaming flannels encased his limbs, he felt his heart glowing within him with gratitude to dear Joe Robins.

"That actor never knew—or, if ha knew, could never remember—what he had for dinner on that Christmas afternoon. He re velled in the luxury of warm garments. The roast beef was nothing to him in com parison with the comfort of his under-vest; he appreciated the drawers more than the plum-pudding. Proud, happy, warm, and comfortable, he felt little inclination to eat; but ;sat qutetly, and thanked Providence and Joe Pvobins with all his heart."

■ l|You seem to enter that poor actor's feelings very sympathetically." "iTbave good reason to do so," replied Mr Imng, with his sunshiny smile, " for I was that poor actor I"—Prize Story from •' Rare

A DEFIANT RUFFIAN.

(from nvn r.oxnojf cor.EKsroNßisNT.)

You may remember my sending you some mails ago a description of tho pursuit and capture of a burglar named Wright, who, after shooting two policemen, ran up a ladder on to the housetops at Foxton, and was chased from roof to roof by threo plucky constables. They eventually caught him, but not till his revolver got disabled. Well, on Thursday, last when this ruffian was committed for trial, a most extraordinary scene took place. The Magistrate as usual asked the prisoner if he had any statement to make, upon which Wright flung clown his cap and defiantly entered into a long statementof his proceed ings whencommittingthisburglary. Buthis first observations were, that as ho had promised to tell the -Magistrate the truth of the matter, he wished to show him what a lot of perjury was in the case, and if ho had cross-examined, the witnesses as he might have done, that would have been shown. He added : " When I tell you my experience of penal servitude you will see why I carried a revolver—not to frighten these bold constables, but to fight them." He then entered into a narrative of the mode by which he entered the prosecutor's house on the night in question, detailing how lie had tried a back door, but found it would make too much noise to force it; how ho had got to a parlour window, forced back tho catch, and opening the window entered tho room, which, he enid, " 1 thoroughly searched, and took what I thought worth having." After that, when engaged breaking open a plate cupboard, he heard someone descending tho stair?, and so left the house. He hid himself in tho grounds of the church, and waited there for two hours, at the ond of which time he heard footsteps approaching, and saw a constablo walking up tho grounds. Then (as if witli hesitation) he said, "I must now admit that this man (with a sneer at Wheatloy) was with me." Ho proceeded to say that on the constable getting near him he challenged him to stand off, or he would "send a bullet through him," Tho con stable, he admitted, proceeded, undeterred, to climb the gate, and approach them. Then he (Wright) climbed the railings to get out. He saw the constable (Garner) rush for Wheatloy, "who," he said, "had no revolver out, or I shouldn't be hero." On that he (Wright) fired a bullet at the constable's shoulder from a diata'neo of about iiftoon yards. As the prisoner pro ceeded in his narrative, which was a repeti tion of the facts in evidence, ho spoke in tho most callous manner of his attempts to take life, remarking that he threatened he would " put a bullet" into this or that man or constable. Whenever ho referred to Wheatloy it wa9 always with a sneer, as "this man." Some of tho witnesses he laughed at as he detailed how they got out of the way of his revolver, and Wheatley, he said, when the constable struggled with him for his revolver, soemed to cive it up very quickly. Garner, he said, pointed the revolver he had secured to shoot him (Wright), " and then," ho added, " I deter mined to give him one where I thought I could drop him." Those latter words escaped the ear of the clerk, and Mr Poland repeated them, whereupon Wright, with an accoss of insolence, said, "Shut your mouth." Proceeding, he said that after he had shot Garner, ho thought it was no use fighting any more for Wheatley, and that ho should have a try for his own liberty. Thereupon he ran, but found that some eight men and two constables were after him, though none of them would get near him, Proceeding to describe how he mounted tho roof of a house, he said, " This is where the fun comes in." He ad mitted that he cleared his revolver and put in fresh cartridges, and wont on over the roofs. A man, six feet high, ho said, got up after him, and he (the prisoner) told him to go down, or ho would shoot him, " The man," ho added, " went down quicker than ho got up, and was the only wise man of tho lot." Later on he found himself pur sued by eight or ton mon on the roof, and when he threatened to put a bullet into them, they hung on to tho chimney-pots and trembled like leaves in the wind. He cleared the roof, he said, and was making his way to escape in another direction when a little boy from below called out, "There he goes," and pointed him out again. "Such a little boy," said the prisoner, "that I could eat him if I had him hore." Describing the accident to his revolver, he said that he was jumping from one roof to a lower when one foot went through the roof, and his revolver struck on a ledge, nnd he found he could not mend it —" worse luck," he added "orl should not] be here." After that, although his revolver was about as good as a penny popgun, he still pointed it when tho men and constables got up on tho roof, and they cleared off at once. Then, from below, they began to pelt him with stones and bricks, and he retaliated with the same for about half an hour. When he had tried another jump and hurt himself, a man got hold of him, and then they all fell on him together, one man split ting hi 3 head open .vith a gun stock, an other striking him with an iron bar, and others beating and kicking him. He thought, ho said, " That that was brutal and unnecessary." What he had done was for his liberty, not for their lives, for he could have shot half a dozen of them from the roof. He could have shot Garner, only he was afraid of shooting Wheatley. Con cluding his narrative he said, " I have done this knowing what was before me, for I have had two terms of penal servitude, and knew what chance I had. And now, your Worship, if you listen to me I'll tell you why I Bhould make up my mind -not to go back, if I could help it." Mr Hannay ; No, Ido not think so. It has nothing to do with this case. If it were any answer to the charge, I would listen to it, but it is not. Wright: No, you don't want the public to know how they treat the convicts—half starve them, while the governors are living on the fat of the land, and making money out of the poor convicts. I should like the public to know the life they have to endure, and when they're tinned out they «re hunted by the police, and have no chance of earning an honest living. If I had plenty of gold I should get out of this as others have done. But you will not let the public know. Mr Hannay j I will listen at any length to anything y t ou have to say in answer to the charge, btft that has nothing to do with it. ■ Wheatley simply said that he would re servo his defence.

Mr Hannay then told them that they wero fully oommitted for trial at the Central Criminal Conrfc,

Wright, as 'he was removed from the dock, muttejed some threats, and said, "Take my word,'before twelve months are over you will hear of something worse than this."

Revelations of a Fashionable Tailor.

In the course of a lengthy chat with a well known fashionable tailor of Melbourne, some interesting particulars were gleaned as to the frivolities of fashion as peculiar to the men. Much has been said against the absurdities, of female dreER, but far more astounding are the vagaries of male attire. "Of course you are aware," said our friend, " it is no secret that corsets are much worn by the men. They always have been as far back as I can remember, though of late years, with (he advent of aesthetes and dudism in general, the fash ion has been on the increase. The ultra dudes nearly all wear stays, but there are others too who are by no means dudes, or especially effeminate either. There," he continued, drawing us to the window, which afforded a splendid view of the whole street, '' go two swell gamblers, arm-in-arm. Yes, of course, you know them by nameand reputation—everyone does; but what you don't know is that the slenderer and better dressed one on the outside wears corsets, and has done so for years. I ought to know, for I order his stays for him. Masculine corsets are made to order by two large manufac turers here in the city. I assure you that there are few daughters or dames of wealth and fashion with more expensive silk woven, fino-boned, gold-corded stays under their silks and sealskins than that man yonder carries under his upper-linen. There, with that richly-dressed lady, is one of the most prominent sporting men about town, who has worn a corset for years. You can't deny that it helps him to show off his shoulder pads to advant age. You know the handsome actor swinging his cane in solitary grandeur on the opposite pavement ? Well, if you don't likewise know that he helps his general make-up, off stage and on, by means of a corset, I don't know why I should tell you. There are three well dressed men together, all customers of mine. Which wouldyou give the palm to in point of shape ? The one in the middle. I knew you would say that, for it'slthe solid truth ; and he's the only one of the trio that wearscorsets. Vow caßt your eye on the brace of dudes behind him, and note the difference. They also have corsets but you could detect!lt a'niifeVff, for Jtsjmply

gives 'em a generally nondoscript, idiotic air, j while in the case of tho bucks already ' pointed out the practice really serves to set up their shapes." " But this is astonishing!" was exclaimed. "It shouldn't bo anything of tho sort," snirl the tailor, complacently. "Fashion able men have as good a right to improve their shapes artificially as women have ; and if false calves, padded shoulders, bran biceps, and counterfeit chest-fronts are allowablo in tho masculine make-up?, why not corsets just as well? Understand, however, that I don't pay I would wear corsets myself. But I must tell you a little story about a prominent society man whose make-up, so ad mirably had he contrived it, I only dis covered the other day by tho oddest of acci dents. Understand that lam not his tailor, or I wouldn't have been surprisod at all at what happened. But there was a business transaction between us, and ho told me to call any clay at his club apartments to talk tho matter over, withoutappointing any par ticular hour. Well, I chanced to drop in on him early in the morning, and, as his sitting-room door was ajar, ventured to enter unannounced. Though I had often beon there before, I thought at first I must havo got into the vrong room, for, while my friend ia to all the world a big, grand, superbly preserved man of middle age, the only occupant of the room was a bald-headed, toothless, shrivel-shanked sort of galvanised anatomy, shivering over a feeble lire in a dressing gown and old slippers. I coughed, and tho old wreck suddenly started up with a sort of frightened screech, and darted into an adjoining room, slamming tho door after him. I hadn't recognised him. Presently tho door reopened, and there stood my big, grand, well-preserved middle-aged friend, as largo and self-possessed as usual, but just a little out of sorts at tho discovery I had made."

" But what was the discovery, and what hail becomo of tho shrivelled-up old man ?" " Why, ho had simply vanished into tho personality of my friend as made-up, but whom it had surprised en dinhabiUe, don't you see? That was tho joke."

Mr Davis's Two Transactions in Bobtail Consolidated.

In California, in tho days of tho Comstock excitement, when all kinds of wildcats wore being floated on the market, and rapidly bought by an indiscriminating public, a Mr Davis bought a claim. This claim did not cost Mr Davis much, whatever it cost tho public, and it was known by tho name of the " Bobtail Consolidated." The specula tivo Mr D. organised a company, and sold some of the stock. To a particular friend of his he sold a largo block of 10,000 shares At one dollar per share.

For some time the mine amounted to no thing, and after a few 25-cont assessments had been levied the stock would really not have been cheap at a gift. For this reason Mr Davis and tho friend to whom he sold the 10,000 shares as a good thing were not on speaking terms. One day, however, the friend, to his utter and complete astonishment, received a noto asking him to call at once at the residenco of Mr Davis. He went, and found Mr Davis in bed. The table was covered with medicine bottles, and Air Davis looked as if his head had been reposing in a sack of Hour.

" Jim," said Davis, in a hoarse and feeble voice, " I did you a dirty trick a few months ago in soiling you them 'oro Bob tuils, for 1 knowed you couldn't afford the money, and Heaven knows they've not brought me any luck," '' Well," said Jim, "what has been dono cannot bo undone now," at the same time gazing compassionately upon the sickly form of the prostrate Davis, "No, no," urged Davis, "I dono you a wrong. Tho doctor says I haven't many hours to live, and bofore I die I want to undo as far as I can tho injury I dono you. Where are them shares 1"

"Got 'em down at my office," was tho reply. " You bring 'cm up hero as soon as you can," said Davis, "and I will give you tho money that you paid for 'em." Muttering expressions of grief, and with eyes rapidly becoming moist with toars, Jim rushed off to the ofiieo and brought up " them 'ore shares." The shares were handed to Davis, who, with an expression as if it were his last earthly transaction, handed his friend lO.OOOdols.

" I never thought you meant to do mo wrong," said Jim, speaking as if he was about to choke, " and I do hope you will soon bo better, old man," Jim then retired, with his hands full of greenbacks and his eyes full of tears. ho soonor had he left tho room than Davis, suddenly recovering, jumped out of bed and did n wjir dance on the floor. Wiping tho flour from his face and taking the rag from oil'his throat, he remarked to a conlidant: " Well, I guess I had him that time."

" I guess you did," replied the confidant. The following morning tho news was blazoned forth in all directions that the "Bobtail Con." had struck tho greatest body of ore ever scon on the Pacific coast, and tho shares bounded up from 75 cent?, the last assessment unpaid, to §7. The last time Mr Davis was seen he was living at tho Hoffman House in New York, feast ing on tho fat of the land. Ho was then the largest individual holder of "Bobtail Cons.," and drawing a princely revenue in the form of monthly dividends from the property.

Popping the Question.

Popping the question ia a strictly masculine institution, though it involves the presence of a woman. It a man popped all alone and no woman to catch on to hia pop he'd be a blamed fool for his trouble.

Men have been known to pop at all times and in a variety of places; but those who hare been there say that a good solid pop over a garden gate lays over any other sort of pop, and is tho poppiest kind of a pop. All women like to hear a man pop his poppiest, and have been known to get mad if the pop was a weak, sickly kind oi a pop, without style, self-respect, or force of char acter.

Men get off tho best kind of a pop when they have both of their girl's hands in their own, or have one of their arms around her waiut. This action gives tone and force to the pop—helps to hold the fellow up while making it. Some fellows take naturally topopping and are going off all the time. To others it is a painful and laborious proceeding, only to be attempted once in a lifetime, and then only as small a pop as they can pos ably get away with. When a fellow's pop is acceptable to a girl, it instantly involves a kiss. When it is not acceptable, kissing is not involved. When a fellow pops he always pops at his second or third best girl. There is no exception to this rule. Pc pping is a very ancient and honourable institution, and the girls like it. A girl who has never heard a pop never confesses as much. She invents a pop so that the other gitla cannot p*t tlio deadwood upon her. We believe in popping, and shall probably experiment in that direction some daf.

Hindoo Bigamy Case.

A Hindoo bigamy case that terminated at a recent Bombay sessions was a queer instance of the failure of the law to fit the ordinary Hindoo in all his ways of life. The culprit, Abai, was married several years back to the prosecutor, Bapoo Sadoo. Some three years ago, however, he took another wife, which was a perfectly legal proceed i ing. Abai says that after this she was neglected; that her husband did not pro vide for her as he used to do, and that she waa sometimes left without food for four days together. Accordingly she ran away from him to Bombay. There, with the con sent of her caste, the washerman caste—of which, from the evidonce, a washerwoman seems to be muccadum, or chief—she mar ried again, while her husband was living. She evidently did not think the was doing wrong. But the high court some time ago decided that the consent of the caste is not enough. So in law the unlucky woman was guilty. The decision which bound the Judge was intended to raise even those low castes who know nothing of Brahminical law to the level of the higher castes, who fo'bw the laws of Mann, and hold the mar liage tie sacred and indissoluble for the woman. Tho Judge gave the lishtest sen tence tho law allowed—one month's pimple imprisonment. Here, however, followed the most remarkable feature in the whole case. Abai asked what she was to da with the young child when she was in prisoa. The prosecutor—that is, the first husband was called and told that he would hence forth have to support the child as woll as the woman. This, he urged, he could not do. "She has remarried, and the caste will not allow me to have anything to do with her now. She is lost to me." The Judge took care to disbuse his mind on this point. " The jury have found her guilty, and the result of that decision is that she is still your wife,end you will ijave Jos! maintain Jjer,"
