SIRS* OF THE TIMES. Qsesr. as* Wlswevrtsa Hlaas. .Something to attract attention, wy thing to make people stop, is th# grand desideratum of storekeepers. That man knew what he was about who swuug ont a sign in Washington reading thns: " Walk in, Osnta. and read th&Jisw*, 'Mule 1 blacken your Bool* and Shosa." A good sign as an appetiser is one found at a hotel lit Culebra, on the Isthmus of Panama: THIS WAY, OKXTUEWKN, res WASM MKALB. 1 AM OOINO re Oi.n JOE rBINCE 8. Iu Salt lake City signs like the follow ing were common not long ago;' HOLINESS TO THE noun. ZIOX's CO OPERATIVE MERCANTILE \ ASSOCIATEOX. Passing along Lombard street, in Philadelphia some time ago, I saw; "A. LEG, BOOTMAKER." But this will have to yield the palm to the Washington sign; "A. rt.no, TOBACCONIST." A New York sign reads: '• Thi* catc haugs high, And hinder* none, lisfresh and pay, And then \eos per week tar reeding and kmtungaaJ righting and sowing. We once saw an old wagon with these words written with chalk upon one ■ide: VTHIS WAGIX TO BAIL." The story is told of an Acton man who had a cart on which was painted: " AMOS TODD, ACTOX ; a STAGE CABT." But it was so painted that it read thus: " A most odd act on a stage cart." It is said that in olden times, when barbers were also surgeons, the stripes upon their poles were intended to con vey the idea of bandages, and the basin, which sometimes accompanied the pole, to represent the utensil for catching the blood during operations. This is what the poet tells us: Twas ordered that A huge long po> With basin decked, thonld grace the hole. To guide the wounded. But when they ended all their wars, And men grew out of lore with fears. Their trade decaying—to keep wimming Tney joined the other trade of trimming- And to their pole*, to publish either, Thus twisted both their trade* together.* "Cow in Boots," "Queen's Head and Art-choke," "Pig and Whistle," "Royal Bed," "Q in the Corner," " Shoulder of Mutton and Cat," " Cow and Snuffers," and many other curious signs might be mentioned; bnt one has only to use his eyes to see as odd and as strange signs in" every town as any spo ken of here. He Preferred to Walk. "She's pretty hot, ain't she?" said a backwoods passenger, addressing the engineer of a Mississippi steamer that was racing with another boat. " SO-60," responded the engineer, as he hong an additional wrench on the safety-valve cord to atop the steam from escaping. " I reckon we'll overtake that craft soon," pursued the passenger. " That's about it," returned the en gineer, giving the cords another twitch and hallooing through the trumpet to the fireman to "shove her up." "One hundred and ninety-five," hummed the passenger, looking first at the gauge and then at the boilers. "That's about where she's rusticat ing." put in the engineer. Then the passenger ran hia fingers through hia bair nervously, and walked about the decks for a few minutes, when he came back to the engineer and ob served: " Hidn't you better leave that boat go?" " Can't do it. Mast pass her." " B at s'pesin' we should blow up ?" "Well," said the engineer, as he peeped over the gnard to see bow fast tie was gaining, "if it's the will of Prov idence for this boat to blow up, we'll have to stand it." Then he hallooed to tbe fireman to roll no another cask of bacon and to mix plenty of resin with the c>al, and give her a little more tur pentine an oQ. The next moment there was a splash • in the river; but before the yawl oould be lowered the man had succeeded in reaching the shore, and hallooed out: "Go on with the race, I guess I'll walk!" Tin and Where it* Ore* are Found. Tin is one of the earlist metals known, which is contrary to what, not many years ago, was the general opinion of scientific men. The researches, however, which within the last twenty years, have been instituted with regard to the earli est races inhabiting Europe, have con clusively shown that weapons and imple ments of bronze (an olloy of tin and cop per) were probably the metaliid articles earliest in use, after those composed of copper alone, and before the introduc tion of iron. In the curions " lake dwelling," dis covered in Switzerland, not only bronze implements, but bars of pnre tin have been discovered. The proportion of tin varies from four to twenty per cent, about ten per cent, being the most The principal present sources of tin are, first, Cornwall, where it is now al most exclusively procured from mines, instead of washing or " steam works:" second. Saxony or Bohemia, in small quantic'w-;, and exclusively from mines; thiro. Ki.nca and pther islands of the Mala Archipelago, the Malay Peninsula as well parts of Hindoetan and Bur nish; all the productions from these (now furnishing the greater part of tin commerce), known generally as "Straits tin," being derived from steam works fourth. New South Wales, Queensland and other parts of Australia, together with Tasmania, Spain, Bolivar and Mex ico also furnish (or have lately done so) some portion of the tin of commerce. Greenland, Japan, Finland, Siberia, loe land and Madagascar, and some other localities, have also yielded tin in greater or lee* quantities.— Mining Record. Earthquake* M* F.rnptlona In 1^77 In th* whole of 1877 there occurred, according to the compilation* of Pro fessor Fueh*. 109 recorded earthquake*, though from onr own observations we believe the number to hare been Rome what larger. In the three month* of Jnne, July etui August then* Were only eleren earthquakes; while thirty-four (Wtinwi iu Septetnlw, October, and N*vtember, aud the rest In the previous iui months bark to December 1, 187 K. A* nsual, the moat violent of these phe nomena were thoeo occurring in South America. The damage doue to Iquiqtto, Valparaiso, him*, and other cities by the outbreak of May 9, 1877, was enor mous, the vihratums recurring with startling rapidity, and lasting over sev eral dava. A few days later a subma rine volcanic eruption occurred off the coast of Peru, which also did groat dam.tge to shipping. The effects of these disturbance* were felt in all parts of tlie Pacific. During the year, *< veral , minor earthquaken, though of unusual 1 intensity for the part of the world in which thev were felt, oocurrred iu ! Euro}*. Th.isc of April 4, May and October 8 iu Switaerlainl, and of No vember 1 and 4 and Decetulier 22 at LISIHUI, were the most alarming. For tunately, little or no serums damage was doue. • The volcanoes of Europe were unusu ally inactive .luring the year, bnt iu South America, in Japan, and in the Pacific geuerally, the year was mark.xt by several very violent volcanic explo sions. The frequency with which out breaks of this nature were observed ui the open sea wits a peculiarity of the year. Thus in February a very rematk alile eruption occurred in the seas sur rounding the Sandwich Islands, ten days after a violent outburst of tint cra ter of Matins Loa, on the mainland of the group, and a few weeks before auother most remarkable outflow of lava from the celebrated lava lake of Kilauea. Here vast jets of liquid lava were ejected to a great height through the hard crust of the solidifying lava of the lake, which had lain undisturbed for many years. Much more serum* was the eruption of Mouut Cotopaxi in Juue, accompanied by terrible showers of ashes, dust, and mud, which were car ried by the wiud far and wide over the country, devastating the fair lauds and destroying hundred* of lives. The in anlar volcano of Ooahuua, in Japan, broke out in flames and burning lava on January 4, and coutiuued in violent ac tion till the first week in February, causiug, in combination with the earth quake* which accompanied it, a disas trous loss of life. Among the more noteworthy event* of the year was the eruption of a new volcano in a district hitherto supposed to be free from volcanic disturbance— namely, on June 11, in a new crater near the Colorado river, California. About the same time an earthquake was feit in Canada. The subnurgeuce of sev eral islands in the gnat archipelago ly ing between the Malay Peninsula and Australia, the nphearal of new lands in the same district, and tlie observance of the effects of volcanic phenomena m the deep waters of the South Atlantic, and where the sea is some 20,000 feet deep, wonld have been sufficient of themselves to mark the past year as an uncommon period of strange volcanic phenomena. We believe, however, that the current twelve months will, unless a sudden cessation of activity occurs, prove to lie even more prolific of such events than any of its recent predeces sors.—Lutulon Time*. The Lat Sea Serpent. Captain J. H. Merritt gives this de scription of it to the Greenwich (Conn.) : " While off Rocky Point, in a sail boat,we observed au unusual com motion in the water fifty or sixty yards from us; bat thinkiug it might be caused by a whale, which, though scarce, are not altogether unknown in the Sound, we proceeded on our way, at the same time keeping a lookout to the lee'aril What was our amazomeut, however, when we beheld, shortly after, the darnedest looking specimen of a fish we ever saw or heard tell of, floating on the water right abreast of us. I tell von, sir, it almost made my hair stand on end, and the other fellows were in a worse fix than me. I've sailed in most every ocean and sea, lake and river, dared death in all its shapes, passed through storms and scenes of danger of the greatest magnitude nnscared; but, sir, I never felt I was so near going to kingdom come as I did last Tuesday. I should say the sea serpent (for such I believe it to have been) was between seventy and eighty feet long, of a dark, dull, green color on the buck, gradually getting lighter towards the bellv, which was perfectly yellow; the hec i of the monster, I should judge, was about three feet long, and two feet broad, with a diameter of probably one foot through the flat side, and resembled the bead of a frog, with the exception that it had fierce, ilerv eyes that seemed to electrify one; the neck was long and round, "a shade lighter in color than the body, and had the appearance of that of a snake—in shape, I mean; bat, heavens, how much larger! The thickest part of the body was all of nine feet in circum ference, and terminated in a tail the ength and breadth of which I could not tell you, for it kept lashing the water until it became a seething, boiliDg mass for a number of yards around it It makes me shndder to think of it now. The head was poised in the air as the monster sailed or rather wriggled along on the surface of the water, which it did for a considerable distance, and then disappeared from our view, and we were not sorry for it, either. The object re mained above water only a few minutes, consequently I won't swear to the accur acy of my description, but I give it as correctly as my brief observation of the monster will permit of. I tell yon, sir, there's a sea serpent in the Sound if there ever was one anywhere. Some folks may and some may not believe it; bat, believe it or not, it's true as sure as my name is John Merritt. I have no object in telling a lie, and would not do so were I to be benefitted thereby." Tbe Bamboo and Its I'aes. Common as it is, there is no more graceful or beantifnl object in nature than the bamboo in its native Inxoriance, and nowhere is it seen to greater per fection than by the rivers and creeks of Bnrmah. Aa yon ronnd each bend of a Burmese river cluster after cluster of bamboo waves a graceful salute with its spray like foliage, and I could tell of oonntry roads flanked by a bamboo avenue like nothing so much as a living Gothic aisle; the smooth, pillar-like stems, jointed together with perfect I regularity, and riaiug on either side of the road almost perpendicularly, so gracefully is the arc described, meeting close overhead at a lofty height, and forming beneath a stillness which com pletes the parallel to the cathedral aiale. And when you turn to consider the uses fulfilled by this fairy-like plant, the wonder is scarcely lew. Whether in his house, or land, or the boat, in which half the Burman's life ia passed, the bamboo is present everywhere in an in finite variety of forms. _ The main sup ports of the house are commonly of tim ber, but it is from the bamboo that the beams and rafters of floor and roof are made, the partition walla, the matting on the floor, the very string which lashes rafter and beam together, and in many cases the mat-thatch which completes tbe house; while within tho honae so built hardly a vessel but ia made from or at least indebted to, the lame. On board the boat the bamboo ia no less important; it floats the fisherman's net, it is shelter from the weather, and af fords the roagh bedding on which be lies; it is the stake to which his boat is moored, the pole which tbrnsts it from the shore, and even the Anchor which holds it in the stream. Under more elaborate prooess it forms the substance of the multiform vessels of lacouer-work, which in Burmah take so largely the f lace of earthenware in other oountries, t is the scaffolding of the builder, the laborer's basket, the child's toys, and from its branches are woven the fantastic strnctures so dear to the Burmese, where the pooag or drama is neld, and it forms the fancifol canopy which cover- the coffin in the funeral procession. -Fra- CT'H Magazine.

Washington; several souvenirs of Washington, con sisting of ornamental worka and house hold articles. Previous to their purchase, Commis sioner Spear went to Virginia ami care fully examined the several articles. In his" re)Hirt to tlie secretary he aauL "All these relics have been continuously in the possession of the Hew is family since the death of (len. Washington, They were received hy Mrs. Lewis, who was the adopted daughter of Gen. Wash ington, and the wife of Major Lawrence Lewis, his nephew, and were iu her poaaiMsion until her death, in 1852, when tliey passed into the hands of the family now having them in charge. They are ail in an excellent state of preserva tion, and of the genuineness of every article there can be no doubt whatever. Boate of the relics are of esjxx-ial inter est. The half-leugtli portrait of Gen. Washington is of life-size, is perfectly clear and well preserved. It is a matter of tradition in the family, preserved especially hy Mrs. Lewis, and ai* hy others, that this portrait was always considered the best likeness of Washing ton ever painted. The miniature por traits were considered excellent likeness es, snd are now in good condition. Of more interest, even, than this is a ledger which contains the record of all Washington's private business transac tion* for more than tweuty-oue years. The record is exceedingly minute, and a large part of it is in his own handwrit ing. Everv item of receipts and exi>eudi tures, including even his hisses and gains at cards, is set down with tlie most scrupulous exactness. In addition to these are many miscellaneous }a|s*r* iu Gen. Washington's handwriting, iuclnd ii g chiefly retards of surveys made by himself. The articles of household use are all in their original condition, and illustrate the style of living of the first President of the United State*. The whole collection is far superior to tliat now in the possession of the governuieut. Many of the articles of domestic use are parts of set* now in the custody of the interior department. The family were reluctant to part with these relics, but were compelled by the consideration that inevitably in a few year*, with the separation of the family, the articles wonld be scattered, and, perhaps, a large unrulier of them in the course of time lost or destroyed. They felt, also, that everv citizen of the country who shared with them an interest in Wash ington, would b glad to have thewe relics made public property, and placed where thev would be accessible to all." •'Old Sain Houston." One of the most eccentric characters of the old United States Senate was Gen. Sam. Houston, of Texas. Hi* character harmonized with his life, which had been one of strange adven ture. He had served as a soldier in the war of 1812, of governor of Tennessee, an an Indian chief while an exile anions the Cberokees, and aa commander-in-chief of tbe Texan army. He wan victor on the field of San Jacinto, and became the firt president of the republic of Texas. In the streets of Washington, his tall fignru —he was aix feet and a half in height— and singular dreas attracted attention. On his head he wore a Mexican torn ferero, while a bright-colored blanket was thrown negligently over his shoul der. Hia coat and pauta, of the richest black broadcloth, set oil a unique vest made of tiger akin. In the Senate chamber he would sit all day whittling, with a pile of soft wood and a basket to hold the shavings by hia aide. Young ludiea and children were qnite anxiona to secure the hearts, darts, crosses, and other devices, which the senatorial whittler made. Around hia bedroom at the hotel hung several printed cards, on which were inmwibed, " My bedtime is nine o'clock." Aa a stump speaker, the backwoods men, who allied him "Old Sam," thought he had no equal. He had a melodious voice, excelled as a teller of anecdotes, and was fond—though he spoke pure English—of dropping into tne patoi* of his frontier audiences. In 1857, the legislature of Texas refuse. I to re-elect him Senator becaoae he had voted against the Kansas-Nebraska bill. He ran for governor. In one of hia speeches during the excited canvass, he said: "Hut, fellow-citizens, you whopped me ; yon whopped me good. Now, ef I donne wrong, you have had yonr satis faction ; and ef you donne wrong, God knows I forgive yu." The backwoodsmen cheered the man who conld talk to them in their own lingo, and Houston was re-elected by an overwhelming majority. While Houston was a clerk in a conn try store in Tennessee, the war of 1812 broke out, and ho at once enlisted. Tho style in which he did so was character istic. A drummer and a lifer paraded the streets of the town, headed by a ser geant. Silver dollars were placed on the head of a drum, and a volunteer stepped np, took a dollar, which was his wiunty, and the sign of his enlist ment. Houston took hia dollar, ami was at once marched, with other recruits against the Creek Indiana. His friends hnd sufficient influence to procure him an ensign's commission. At the battle of the "Horse-Shoe," he mounted the Indiau fort, colors in hand. A barbed arrow pierced his thigh. Hous ton ordered A soldier to pull it out. The man tried and failed. " If yon don't pull it ont," exclaimed Houston, drawing his pistol, "I'll shoot you !" The man gave a strong pull, and out came the arrow, leaving a lacerated wound. As soon as it was dressed, ho rushed again into the flght, whence he was carried out with two balls in his right shonlder. Presidential Summer Resort*. A Washington letter says: Presi dents John Quincy Adams, Jeffer son, Madison and Monroe used to go to their respective rural homes for an "outing" during the heated term. An drew Jackson went down the Potomac to the "rip-raps," a fort on the edge of the ocean, or rather in it, which was begun in his day and has never yet. been finished. Polk, Fillmore and Pierce hired summer residences on Georgetown heights. Bnchanan occupied as a Hum mer residence a house at the Soldiers' Home, and his example has Wen follow ed in turn by Lincoln, Johnson, Grant and Ha} e. The exceedingly good time made by the man who is pushing a wheelbarrow acrosß the continent is explained by the fact that he is frequently chased by cattle. A NEW PLAN FT.

Mercury, with itn sreinendoua share of the suu'n light and heat, its enormous fluctuations, m dif ferent parts of its swift orbit, from hot to hotter, and itn asserted high moun tains (Sohroter msken them thirty milnt high!) is altogether a queer and interest ing world to study;—only, unluckily, its proximity to the sun renders it a diffi cult subject of observation except in its transits, and in solar eclipses. But if Mercury is a hot world, what must W the condition of its newly-found neigh' Wr, Vulcan! It has Wei. argued that this mysterious and dubious planet now found to be a reality—must move in an orbit separated by a dist&uce of but eighteen or twenty million miles from the sun. If that is the erne, and unless it is protected by an incredibly dense atmosphere—which, again, would of itself tend to give the planet an nn bearably warm climate—the direct rays of the sun, pouring upon Vulcan at that near distance, must give to this uewly found tuetuWr of our system a tempera ture not much cooler than that of ml i hot iron. Hartford Titnrs. A Colony of Camel* A correspondent writing from Verde Volley, Texas, give* the following bi tory of the colony of camels brought to Texas bv the government in 1857: The camels Were purchased under the direc tion of our diplomatic countryman, Mr. Marsh, in Asia Minor. The government paid for forty animal.*, and the pasha of the district from which they were shipped presented ten camel* "to the people of the United States. This novel cargo, with it* attendant Greeks and Aralw, reachod the port of ludianola, western Texas, in Mav, 1857. Gen. J. K. Johnston, commanding the depart ment of Texas, was surveying the route to El Paso, and the camels were used by Lieut. Heal for transporting stores over tbe srid plains of northwesters Texas. Their home was at Camp Verde, and in 1861 the original lot of fifty had increased bv births to one hundred and twenty. These animals proved very serviceable ou the deserts ah I when traveling over the grassy country of Texas, but ui crossing the mountainous divides and stony region* their feet suffered from stone wounds. In the year 1861 all the camels were at Verde camp, which was nnder the command of Capt. Krockett. The Confederate* force*! the offlcers to turn over the post to them; but Capt. Brackett first got from the first men of the country a tmnd, in which the parties were bound to make good any loss occasioned by the trans action. The Confederate* went into cotton speenliitinn ; and the camels carried two l>alee each to Mexico. On the plains they wnnhl carry a hnrden of about one thousand pounds; but over tho mountain* from seven hundred to nine hnudred pounds was considered a good load. After the war the United Htati-s government again took possession of the eainel camp, and tho animals were sold in three lota. Mr. Oopewood, of the El Paso stage lino, pnrchasi\l the largest number, and commenced breed ing tligru for market on a ranch west of San Antonio. He afterwards sold the lot to California speculators, and I was informed that the animals ore now in southern California, where they are sheared for their hair for commercial purposes. The second lot of camels are near Austin, Tex.; the thin! lot went sonthward toward the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The Tetss market price for camels is from s"iso to S3OO. Snowmen find them a costly curiosity for exhibi tions, as they are voracious fee lers. Hu!c< of Health. Dr. Vsn Oven points out the good that may be accomplished by a proper regimen faithfully followed. This oon siste in certain general rules, which wo give in his own words: "1. Do not take food except when the appetite demands it; that is, do not recruit the system but when the system has become exhausted. "2. Let the quautity of restorative nourishment be proportioned to the de gree of exhaustion which previous la bor* have induced. "3. Helect such food and drink as your own experience and the general usages of society point out as best suit ed to your habits and easiest of diges ' tion. "4. Lot the food and drink bo varied and mixed; and when in health do not torment yourself by too close au atten i tion to any dietetic rules. "5. Take vegetable infusions, as tea and coffee, in moderation; but avoid dis tilled spirits altogether, except under , the guidance of the physician. "6. Avoid active exertion or study immediately after taking food. "7. Let prudence govern the pas sion." To which may be added, that it is es snntial to the health and strength of all persons to have from six to eight hours of sound sleep. A eteady observance of these simple laws will assure the high est health it is possible to attain. The First Chinaman. The first Chinaman who came to Am erica, according to the San Francisco Chroniele, was Chum Ming, in 1847. He WHS a native merchant of Nni Hang, a province of Canton, intelligent and enterprising. He went into the monn tnins, and, finding gold, wrote to a friend, Cheong Yum, in 1848, nl>"iit the new country. Cheong Yum immedi ately came to the Pacific slope, but, be fore doing so, told a number of his (vnintrvmcn of the discovery of gold in America. It was then that the China men began to flock to tho Pacific coast. There were at that time no steamers to bring them, so they came in sailing ves sels. In 1849 the Argonauts began to arrive from the East, and at that time tho Chinese influx was a mere drop in the bucket. Within the next four years the arrivals of Mongolians became more frequent and in larger proportions, so that in 1852 there wore 4.000 on the coast, 2,000 of whom lived in Han Fran cisco. As soon as the tide of Chinese emigration bad Ret in toward California, the Yeonng Wo and the Kong Chow, the first two of the present Six Com panies, began the bnsiness of aiding the shipments.

There is a sign-hoard put up at the State line to tell unwary traveler* which State they are in. We all watched for it with great eagerness, and when we passed it we knew we were in Minnesota.

And it was, too. You can't put enough imparity in it to spoil it, and there isn't n KjH-ck of dust in it, anywhere in the State, after yon get away twenty inches from a ear window. One passenger, who mistook a slow boari' for the %tate line, had lieen breathing himself hoars*' for twenty-two mile* ou common lowa air, declaring all the time how delicious it was. He was greatly mortified when he learned [his mistake, and would not breathe at all again nntil we reached Minneapolis. This is the place. I don't think any of the party want to come back again. Yon cau sit at your window and watch the town grow. And while you are looking in ono direction a man will build a brick block in another. It is the busiest place I have seen this summer.

There are several wrong ways of wash ing the face uud but one right. Towel, flannel, sponge are all out of place where the face iH concerned. The hands only should be used. Doctor Wilson's direc tions are: " Fill your basin about two thirds full with fresh water; dip your face in the water, and then your hands. Heap the hands well, and pass the soaped hands with gentle friction over the whole face. Having performed this part of the operation thoroughly, dip the face in the water a second time, and rinse it completely; you may add very much to the luxury of the latter part of the operation by having a second basin ready with fresh water to perform a final rinse." But the care of the complexion requires that not only 'he face, but the whole bodv shall be daily subjected to the hath. 'The sponge bath is, perhaps, the heat, and the temperature of tho I water must be regulated by the sensa tions of the bather, and by the season jof the year. No one can deny the charm i of clear, soft.color in the cheeks and lips, and it mußt be an incorrigible complex ! ion, indeed, that will not yield to the mraanros thnt I have recommended.— I Cassr irs Maf/azine.
