Keren Years la Due Kuouu Kfforta of the Citv Council of Los j Angeles recently to have removed a lit tle old house which stands on the city's lot oq Fort street have brought to light a strango story in connection with its occupant, a widow, known as Mrs. Jen nie Lve8. A dozen years ago Mr. Leyes and her husband came to Los Angeles from the East and took up their residence in the house in question. Mr. Lyes was in consumption, and after a Ion? battle with the dls ease died some seva-n years ago. Just before his death be called his wife to bis bedside and told her be was confl uent he would return to her and give her information about the "spirit land" thit would prove of great benefit to the wbol4 world. A few minutes after this statement he died. After a good deal of trouble Mrs. Leyes' friends succeed ed iu getting her to bed in another room. Next morning she seemed to be in better spirits, and when her friend asked her why she was so cheerful phe said her busbind had appeared to her during the nigbt and told ber that she must shot herself op in the room in which he bad died and neither leave it nor see any one for eight years. He told tbat at the end of that time she would be given second sight, aud tbat she would be able to materialize in broad daylight in any room or even out in the street. Mrs. Leyes believed that what her husband told ber, or what she dreamed, would actually occur, so she went Into the room and has cot been out ot It Mnce. She is fed and waited on through a blind door by an old lady who has stood guard over her for seven long years. So far as can be learned co one has ever caught sight of her during all those years, and what business she has had to transact has been through the blind door or a broken window. Several attempts have been made to get her out of the room, but all have failed. A few yeais ago a gentleman who took deep interest in the matter applied cn the court for a writ of habeas corpts, but wben the Judge learned his ol ject. and was told that the poor woman was confined at her owd pleasure, be refustu to issue the writ, aud the woman 1ms not been disturbed until now. Feed or Ureed. It is s very popular subject just now for discussion whether feed or breed is paramount in the productive value of an animal, more especially in regard to the yield of butter. One enthusiastic believer in breed asks why any ordinary cow cannot be made to give two pounds of butter a day as a purebred Jersey does. Anyone can csk qus tions which will puzzle a wise man to answer. But this question is no puzz'e, and would be harder to answer if it were true that a Jersey cow as a ru'e gave two pounds of butter a day. So far, there are about 40 of these aristo crats among, perhaps, 40,000 Jersey cows in the country, all pure bred, but not all recorded. But what of the others? It has been said that the aver age yield of the 39,tj0 plebeian Jerseys is about three pounds per week. How much does breed for these ? Oa the Other hand, native "scrub" cows have been known that, owning nothing to breed at all, have just doubled their yield of butter when fed as well as Jersey cow usually is, and it is these native cows which have made the dairy so profitable as it is. Also, one might, ask, was it breed or feed that made a noted Jersey cow die of miik fever after having been fed daily a bushel of ciush ed oats and 12 pounds of corn-meal and bran, besides other feed, to fotce her to give three pounds of butter a day ? Perhaps it may be said most truly, that if our native cows had beeu fed and cultivated with as much care as the Jerseys have been, they might have out done tbem in regard to their product. As it is, they have an excellent record, not in anj book, but in the enoraiuu ggrega;e yield of milk, cheese, and butter which has made dairving the most prosperous branch of (arming. The Right liana. An anatomist told me the other day that I could not tell which was my 1 right hand. I immediately held oiu j my right hand. Cut be objected, lie said he did not sjy that I could not tell which was my ririt hand that is, that I could not describe it in words, so that one who never heard of the distinction we make between the right hand an the lett would be able to find it. I thought that would be easy enough al so, until I thought it over, and then I bad to give ic up ; for cn the outside of a perfectly formed human being there was no thing to distinguish the right hand from the left, aud no one can de scribe it in words so that an ignorant person can find if. If people were am pidextrous and were not taught from their childhood to use one of theif bands more than the other it would be impossible for them to which was whicu. I often think of this when I hear any onn sav of some cne whom he wishes tostigmatiz as a fool that "lie can't Ull Lis right hand from his left." A Inrlous Incident. A curious ine'dent occurred a dv or two ago at the residence of J.ihn Dickinson, West Goshen. A man employed bv Mr. I. was engaged ic cutting wood and ha I raided th ax to strike a blow. While the imple ment was In the air a aparrorv fl?w between it and the log and alighted on the latter just as the axe descended. Tbe cansequerce was that before the man ctuM stop the biow the biid wrs cut in twain by the sharp edge. Wheth er the sparrow ws attracted by the "hlnlng of the axe. or a worm in the wood, the man was not prepared to say.

We bad already tailed past aeveral j glaciers larger than tbe Mer de Glace, of Mont Blanc, bot tby were so far away tbat we got no adequate idea of tbeir extent. Nr did aay of tbem push tbeir way Into tbe sea. Tbia glacier, to wbieb our boat waa now pointed. cm9 down Into deep water, and stretched back Into tbe mountains until its course was lost in fields of snow. As fbe steamer checked ber speed to keep at a safe d 'stance from tbe monster, we found that we bad sailed up point blink agaibst the verti cal wall of bloe ice a mile and a bal long, and S00 feet blsh above water. As if to illustrate tbe grand scale and magnitude of everything, just as our boat rounded to, a chip of ice. safely estimated to weigh 1500 tons broke off from tbe face of tbe glacier and fell a distance of 100 feet into tbe sea. Of course there followed a mighty nproax, and then a wave tbat rocked our steamer aa do only the big swells from the Pacific. As the tide waa eb bing, tbe mass that bad just fallen into tbe water floated out past tbe boat, .ormlng a field of broken ice several acres in extent. Tbe upper surface of tbe glacier was full of dtep fissures, and at tbe water level there were mysterious caves which no one dared explore. 1'ieces of ice, large and small, were constantly drop ping into tbe sea ; and, as tbe ice-wall acted as a sounding-board, there were constant volleys of sound as sharp as that of musketry or artillery demon strating to our satisfaction tbat tbe butt-end of a glacier, where icebergs are made, is a very noisy place. Passengeis were 'landed on shore; and after a climb aloDg tbe side mo raine to a height of some o00 feet, a few of us found ourseWr s at a point where we could overlook the stream of ice and get an idea of its deep fis sures and impassable condition. High as we were there were tet peaks of ice betwtf n us and the water that were still above us, and we could only see a fraction of a mile inland. Everything was on a scale tbat could only be re alized Ly the test of climbing. Along side tbe glscier. in mid-channel, there were seventy-five fathoms of water ; and as th steamer approached shore to land us, tbe leadsman reportea no bottom at twelve fathoms. Oaly last year did tbe boat make Its firsc trip to this glacier. Farther up the bar four or five other glaciers come down from tbe Fairweaiher group of mountains, but very little is known about tbem. We only caught an occa sional glimpse of tbe glaciers, and saw that but a small part of the floating ice in tbe bay came from tbe immense res ervoir of ice tbat we bad visited. Boring Tor Water and Finding Silrer. About two months ago tbe contrac tors, in boring an srtesian well, at Carson, Nev., for Mrs. Lantry. tbe actress, near tbe foot of tbe mountain, where tbe Xorth Carson mine is situa ted, came on a formation of rock which lay bet wee d the clay walls. The for mation was fo bard tbat the drill bound ed up, and it required seven feet of drilling to penetrate and reach under tbe lay wall. When tbe debris of tbe lock came out It attracted tbe attention of tbe borers. A fw ounces of tbe rock were taken to tbe Bullion Exchange bank, where it was assayed. Tbe assay was $510 a ton of silver ore. Since then experts have been making examinations, set-king to trace tbe ledge to its cioppings and determine tbe character of tbe inclos iog walls. Discoveries sem to show tbat the ledge runs through Mrs. Lang try's land. She bored for water and struck silver. Carious Experience of Docks. A curious event occurred near tbe West Main street railroad crossing in Meriden, Conn., a few days ago. Dur ing tbe coldest weather a flock of ducks had trayed under the railroad from tbeir home, and the owner tried to drive tbem back over tbe rails. Tbeir feathers were wet, but tbey managed all right till tbe rails were reached. Here the difficulty occurred. Tbe pecu liar waddle of tbe ducks did not per mit their getting over tbe rails without resting a portion of the wet feathers on the frosty iron. And wben tbe feath ers touched tbey froza fast. A knife was called for into requisition and a portion of tbe plumage of tbe ducks was left on tbe rails. It was a laugh able sight to see the ducks frozen fast, pu'.liDg and twisting to go away. It pays te be tienereous. They tell down East of a poor fellow who possessed a remarkably fat hog. and wbo also owed a rich man. Tbe hog was about all the property the poor debtor bad worth levying on, and tbe law exempted a man's only pig. One day tbe debtor, meeting tbe creditor, said : You need another pig ; let me send vou a nice little one." Tbe poor man was astonished. "Wby, I owe you for tbe hog I've got now," he stammered. "Never mind ; you Deed another one, and I'll send it." and be did. and tbe little pig was put In tbe pen by tbe side of the fat one. In less than an hour tbe constable came and attached tbe fat bog and took it away. aod thus tbe rich man was satisfied. Tb Verdict taaalmeaf. W. D. Salt, druggist. Bippus. Iod.. testi fies : "I can recommend Electric Bitters as tbe very beet remedy; Every bottle sold has given relief in even case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheu matism of 10 years' standing." Abrar-am Hare, druggist, Bellville. Ohio, affirms: "Tbe best selling medicine I have ever bandied in mj 20 years' experience, is Elec tric Bitters." Thousands of others have added tbeir testimony, so tbat tbe verdict is nnanimous tbat Electric Bitters do rnra all diseases of tbe Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at tbe driiff atora of E. James, Eben6bnrg, or W. W. Mc Atser, Loreitn. A minister of Kalamazoo. Mich.. preached eight weeks and got thirty three cents over and above bis expenses for tbat period. St. ingustine. A FbiladelpbU Ledger correspond ent writes from Florida : A short journey tbrongh the pine woods south ward from Jacksonville to tbe sea coast took us to St. Augustine, tbe old est town in this country, founded by tbe Spaniards under Menendez in 15C-. It is located in a flat, sandy region where a little inlet from the sea comes in behind a long narrow island called Anastasia Island which makes a nat ural breakwater in front of tbe harbor. It was bere tbat tbat sturdy oM Spn ash buccaneer, Juan Ponce de I,"on is said to have landed wben be came over to discover tbe "fountain of perpetual youth" in 1512, and named the country Florida. It is now a winter watering place wbera tbe population of about 1500 is swollen to 7000 or S000 cy Northern tourists. The streets are very narrow, some of tbem being only a few feet wide, and having balconies overhanging from tbe old bouses. There are no sidewalks, for tbe street were nsed In foimer times only by pedestri ans, and were paved with a curious stone formed of shells, called coquina that was quarried oa tbe island and hardened wben exposed to tbe air. Tbe old houses were also built of this stone. Two or three streets runniDg parallel with tbe shore crossed at right angles by a few others, and a wider street in front bordered by a sea wal make up the town. At the noiiheru end is Fort Marion, and at the south ern end, about a mile distant, is the Government barracks, formerly a Spanish convent. Wben the Spaniards first landed tbey built a wooden fort, subsequently replaced by Fort oan Marco, the present work, whose name was changed to Fort Marion, when the United States acquired Florida in 1821. It was sixty years in building, being completed in 1756, and is of coquina, covering about four acres, a bastioned work shaped like a trapezium, with moat and outworks and inclosing a parade ground some one hundred feet square, surrounded by large casements. An old Spanish insciption tells of its building, and In one of the casements is an ancient chapel, while others con tain dungeons about which horrible tales are ;old. Tbe outworks are part ly ruined, though a few old canaon are still mounted upon tbem. Tbe fort is not garrisoned - and is gradully f alling into decay. From this fort down to the barracks the protecting sea wall stretches, and behind it is the town, a mixture of ancient buildings and mod ern watering-place hotels, with orange groves and foliage inclosiag tbem. A part of tbe oid city wall, with the Span ish gateway, remmains, ana also tbe quaint little cathedral, with its bells hung ia niches in the belfrj, and within tbe silver lamp tbat is kept constantly burning iu commoration of an Indian religious custom. Tbe Spanish Govern or's palace has been modernized into a prosaic Post-ofllce, while we graze with awe upon tbe outside of the little square coquina building labled tbe "oldest house." which the proprietor tried to get us to look into, "price twenty-five cents," buc iu vain. Tbe barrack, which is a reconstructed convent, are comfortable buildings, fronted by gardens of orange trees. In froct of tbe center of tbe town Is tbe plaza, with two monnments. one comwemarating tbe Spanish Constitution, erected Iu 1812, and the other tbe Confederate dead. Tbe lat'er , an attractive th i ft contains an adaptation of Stonewall Jackson's last words : "Thry have crossed over the river and rest uuder the shade of tbe trees." The old "Slave Market," with its surmounting belfry, fronts on tbe plaza, a small and curious structure with a wooden roof. The most solemn relic of all. however, is in tbe cemetery adjoining tbe barracks, where a single shaft and three white pyramids tell tbe horrid tale of Major Dade's massacre during tbe Seminole War. Tbat gallant officer, with 107 men, were ambushed and massacred in 1335 by 800 Indians, and their remains were afterwards brought here and in terred. A Hen killed a Snake. Jack Smith, of Esustis Lake, Fla., bas a roan ben which possesses great ingenuity. Tbe coop has a small slid ing door, working like a guillotine. It is very heavy and during the daytime ia held up by a peg.

One of them was to have been married a day or two since, and tbe girl was all ready, tbe minister on hand, and the feast was spread, bu; still no bridegroom. "I'll wait for blm just ten minutes, and then I'm open to proposals." Ten minutes flew like tbe wind, and a little red -b air ed fellow, with a paper collar and bis trousers frayed at the bottom, stepped up, proposed, was accepted, married, and scooped in the banquet. - - I Prrierred flrape Communion Wine.
