When tho French sought to establish
a monarchy in Mexico a Mazatlan yonth
raised a regiment of boys and waged
against snch of tho invaders as
appeared at Sinaloa a warfare that
told. Tho yonng man's father was
of Oastilian blood and his mother
was a Mexican. His name, Corona,
soon became famous, and at the
age of twenty-five he was regarded
as the Mosby of Mexico. At tho end
of the war ho was a major-general, tho
hero of the soldiers and tho idol of !
Mazatlan society. He was six feet tall,
broad-shouldered, handsome and dar- j
ing. While attending a ball at the j
American hotel in Mazatlan, he stum- |
bled over a domestic, knocking a tray j
from her hand. Htooping to pick np
the crockery, General Corona noticed
that the girl was very pretty and very
saucy. She told him that her name was
Betty Bowman, that her mother was a
San Francisco washerwoman, and that ho
ought to know better than to rush so
headlong down a dark stairway. Corona
made love to the American miss, and
t>efore leaving for the capital ho had
learned of her. irreproachable though
very humble life. Once away, Betty's
face and pert ways haunted him so
mncii that he wrote to her, arranging
for marriage by proxy. He remained
at Mazatlan; the bride went to a con
vent school. They were a thousand
miles apart and wrote to each other
daily, the husband constantly instruct
ing the wife in polite ways. President
Juarez, fearing that Corona's popularity
would lead the people to give their vote
to the young soldier at an election
thon approaching, concluded to send
him as minister to Madri 1, the most en
viable diplomatic position in the eyes
of all Mexicans. General Corona took
the washerwoman's daughter to his
palace in Madrid, and she now is re.
garded as the most brilliant and accom
pliahed lady at the court of Spain.

A merchant in Mansfield, Ohio, lias

his clerks were taken with smallpox,
the people wero afraid to ]>atronizo him
and he could not meet his payments.
Consequently the creditors seized the
establishment and closed up its affairs.
The total amount of bituminous coal
rained in the United States in 1880 was
42,420,580 tons, of which '29,842,240
were rained in tho Appalachian Held.
The anthracite prod net was 28,046,995
tons, nearly all furnished by tho Htate
of Pennsylvania, making tho total coal
product of tho country for tho census
year 71,067,576 tons. England pro
duced 140,818,122 tons in the same
year.
Eight years ago there was only 8120 ,-
(XX) invested in stoamers on tho Ht.
Johns, Florida. Now there fcro twenty
eight stoamers plying on that river,
one pf which cost 8240,(KM), and to this
fleet constant additions are making.
The Indian river and Bouth Florida
lakes and inlets are now dotted with
sailboats, carrying freight to and fro.
In a very short timo these will be sup

The Lu 1 low street jail of New York
had an average of twenty-five men im
, prisoned for debt daring last year, and
this when the imprisonment is only in
cases of fraud, as in other places, and
I when the persons were generally kept
only a few days each. By giving bonds
i these persons can get "the liberty of
the jail," which means freedom within
the city, and there are men who have
I las n nnder duress in this way foryears,
and yet going about their business as if
! there were no jail in the world.
The new census is bringing out many
curious facts. In the whole country
there is an excess of nearly a
million males, yet in almost ull the
cities this proportion is reversed.
There are forty-five cities of more than
40,000 inhabitants, and in all hut nine
the females outnumber the msles. The
chief csnscs of the discrepancy are to
l>e sought in the larger employment of
females than males in household ser
vice, and in the -continually increasing
engagement of females in manufactur
ing pursuits.

According to the secretary of the
Manufacturing Chemists' association of
the United States the capital invested
in the chemical industry is $>15,000,000;
the annual production is worth 8118,-
000,000; the number of manufacturing
establishments is 1.340, using 000,000
tons of coal and employing 30,000
working people, whose wages amount
to $12,000,000 a year. The industry is
not only great in itself, but it affords a
side light of the magnitude of other
manufactures which require chemicals
for their production.

Another effort to intimidate an editor
ban proven a melancholy faiinre. Mr.
Ward, who oondoete a paper in Middle
town, Ohio, annonnood that a certain

The ladies of the tronpe, not pleased
with this notion, bought a conple of
cowhides. Two of the women pro
ceeded to the editor's sanctum with a
gentleman gnard, and told Mr. Ward
that they had come to eowliide him,
and the man stated that he came to pro*
teot the women. Ward pioked up a
otnb and drew his revolver, when all
the parties lied for the street and
hnstled off pell osell for ths hotel. Tliat
night the tronpe eonld not pay hall
rent, and the proprietor of the hall
tnroed off the gas. By this time the
manager had flod with all the receipts,
leaving the balance of the tronpe help
less financially. There's a divinity that

The reeeut death, nesr Malvern Hill,

reviTo the question, often discussed,
bnt never satisfactorily answered, why
the narno of a numerous family should
have boon, for at leant a century, tini
veraally spelled Enmughty and univer
sally pronounced Darby. The mem
hern of the family themselves follow
this strange perversion, always writing
the name one way and pronouncing it
the other, but can give no explanation
of its origin. Nathan Enroughly, who
has just died at a great age—from nine
ty to u hundred years- was a soldier in
the war of 1812 and a pensioner of the
government. He was famous, beyond
middle life, for his strength, activity
and endurance, and it is said no pru
dent man ever ventured to try conclu
sions with him when nature's weapons
were the only ones to be omployed.
For elevi-n years, however, blindness
kept him in hateful inactivity.
An interesting calculation of the gold
and silver production for 1881 has been
made by Mr. Valentine, a statistician
connocted with Wells, Fargo A Co. Ho
puts the figures at 178,500,000, or 88,-
000,000 more than for the previous
year, the gain being in silver. Cali
fornia produced 819,(XX),000 of gold, or
52 per cent., a gain in Ave years of 15
per cent. Dakota produced $4,500,000,
Colorado, Montana and Nevada being
the other principal sonrces. Alaska is
credited with $7,000 in gold. In silver
Colorado stands at the bead, with a
production of 818,180,000, against 914,-
960,000 the previous year. Novada'pro
dnoed $7,790,000, against 89,598,000,
bnt those losses are morn than made tip
by Arizona, which advanced from 91,-
760,000 to $0,800,000, and Utah, which
increased from $4,172,000 to $5,020,000.
| The total production of tho world is
reckoned at aliout $107,000,000 in gold
and $*8,000,000 in silver. According
■ to this estimate the United Btates pro
daces about 88.5 per cent, of the world's

The Sew York drnpluc thinks that the
increase in cases of heart disease is
caused by the life of hurry and excito
ment which men lead in cities. It says:
"If shocks and starts are liable to
bring at>out sudden deaths in affections
of the heart, is there not a great deal
in our modern life which tend to this
result 7 Is not our daily life in the
city, especially that portion of it passed
out of doors, largely mad" np of starts,
alarms, petty fears and anxieties and
frshtic hurryings ? Men step from
their door* in the morning and hurry
to jump on the nearest passing car;
they run up the fifty steps of the "L"
road station to eatcb an incoming train
as though pursued by s fiend, and gen
erally wait for the next one; they jump
from ferryl>oat to dock or from dock to
ferryboat as though oseap ng from
armed foes; they hurry and bustle and
run from car line to car line and from
ferry to railway station, fall of breath
less anxiety to catch the irain;
they rcampcr across H road way in
terror of passing vehicles. These
and more are daily events in
the lives of tens of thousands.
Every frantic spasm of haste draws
heavily on our strength. Every such
spasm diminishes our supply of nerve
force and decreases mental power. A
hurried man oaaomtß is in no fit con
dition for bnsin***. The grnpt distances
at which no many live from their places
of business make the loes of train or
boat a serious inconvenience- And
whether it does or not there is the same
hurry or anxiety. The question in view
of all this is: Have not these condi
tions attendant on the daily life of so
many people something to do with the
development jof ' heart disease,' which
seems of increasing and alarming fre
quency 7* Wouldn't it be letter, if pos
sible, to take things easier, or wait
until the hnrry is over, to cultivate
more disposition to leisure 7 Or is this
possible where the demands weigh so
heavily on thousands—where strong or
weak, sick or well, the post of lebor
must be filled with machine-like regu
larity r

On tho last two days of July, 1880,

; Mr. J. EL Pillabury, of Hpringfleld,
Mam., bos the following letter in the
I So'nc*: A friend of mine who in a re
liable observer relates an incident
which forcibly illustrates the power of
parental affection to overcome fear.
1 The gentleman found a nest of jonng
mice and removed them to the ground
\ near by. The mother mouse made her
appearance and carried away one of her
young, and while she was gone the gen-
I tleman took the remaining mice in his
I hand. When the mouse again appeared
| and could not find her young she
seemed to hesitate a moment and then
ran up the gentleman's clothes, took
one of the young and carried it away.
This wa repeated until all the young
were removed to a place of safety.
Inherited Perils,
Foremost among the perils of life, in
all iti s'sges, but especially in its early
stages, are the inherited. We may
safely ssv that no one is born free from
taint of disease, and we msy almost mj
with equal certainty that there is no
definable disease that does not admit
of being called hereditary, nnlews it be
accidentally produced, To what is
known as specific disease, the disease
of diseases , to struma, or scrofula, and
its ally, if not the same, tubercular
affections ; to cancer, to rheumatism
and gout, and to alcoholic degeneration,
the grand perils of life are mainly due.
These are the bases of so many disease*
which bear different names; these so
modify diseases which msy in themselves
le distinct, that if they were remove 1
the dangers would bo reduced to a min.
imnm. These diseased conditions do
not, however, exhaust the list of fstal
common lnheritsnees. On many oera*
sions for several years past I have ob
served and maintained the observation,
that some diseases, as communicable,
infections or contagious, are also classi
fied under this head. I am satisfied
that qninsy, diphtheria, rcarlet fev<-r,
and even what is called brain fever,
typhoid, are often of hereditary char
acter. I have known a family in which
four members have suffered from diph
theria, a parent having had the same
affection, and probably a grandparent.
I have known a family in which five
members have, at various periods. suf
fered from typhoid, a parent and a
grandparent having been subject to the
same disease. I have known a family
in which quinsy has beon the marked
family characteristics for four genera
tions. These persons have been the
sufferers from the diseases named with
out any obvious contraction of the dia
eases, and without having any com
panions in their sufferings. They
were in fact predisposed to produce
the poisons of the disease in their own
bodies, as tko oobra is to produce the
poisonons secretion which in its esse
is a part of the natural organization

pain of teething may be almost done

it is but a drop of warm wab r before

all the coolness for its feverish gums

\ti Orange Wrapping In Florida.

warehouse belonging to the Wilkinson

i placed along the walla, and all the

were huge boxes filled with oranges.
They were rigged with handles at each
end, and it took two men to bring one of
| them in. On the opposite side of the room
were long tables, behind which

was supplied to them by boya, who

tray io every tbres men. Before each
man was a package of tiaane paper. By
a dexterous an orange was

movement As the fruit was wrapped
it was dropped into another tray, which
was carried to the "packers," who stood
before a pile of empty crates. Each
orange was placed in the crate sepa
