InlSoSKit Carson. James Kinney and a half b-eed Blackfoot come into Fort Randal, on the Missouri river, with a las full ff nnircets and a story of pold Oejiosits of incivuible rk'.nfh oa Cabin creek, a branch cf the JCorth fork of the Cheyenne river just west of what is now the ilontana bonndary line. As they were old mountain men, and Car son having a great reputation a a gnide, everybody went crazy. Xo white man was supposed to have ben within 500 miles of the place, and indeed men were being cut off by Indians within five miles of the fort. Carson and Kinr.ey went on a week's drunk, and Boon gambled away their gold, but shoved no dis;iim to take a party to the new Eldorado. The United States officers at the fort dis credited the whole thin;:, and dissuaded the crowd from following it op, but men started cut and cone returned, and hundreds tried it from time to time. The Indians no doubt knew of the existence of gold there, and of conrse wanted to keep the whites out, and they did ef fectually for tlirty years. A thousand lives and a mountain of treasure were spent in seeking the location in vain, and it was believed by the old timers to be a fraud from the first. Neither Car son nor Kinney ever made the attempt to seek it again, but both repeated their original story from time to time. So this is about the truth as to the Lost Cabin Ifiuanza. White's Cement mine is much more remarkable as a narrative. White was a New Etiglander, sixty years old, who Lad come to Calif ornia in ls42. As a gold seeker he was known and talked about in every mining t amp on the coast and stories related of his phenomenal luck. Lie no doubt made many fortunes, but was always ji-ir, und tramped about with a lean mule ami half breed Indian boy, gutting supplies where lie could. I lelieve ho was slightly demented, but all looked up to him, and he undoubted ly knew more about tiie gold region than any man living. U; e day in lZi White came to LToree Head gulch from the Sierras, driving Lis m.r.o aiid looking utterly used np. He got something t.i eat, and then tix out of Lis put I: a i;nmler of pieces o what looked hie hard v uite cl.-iy g:it tering with specks of metal, but he said little and went off to an a-iyer, a Ger man named ITelyat, and an honest man.

JColodv slept that Might, bnt sat around the fires and talked "cemenL" In the morning party headed by Senator Sharon's brother called on White, who was sleep ing in one of the sharks." He was told in a few words that he must pil the men to his find, he should have the pick cf the claims and help to work it but go lie must, and on his refusal was warned that his life would not lie worth shucks if he "stood off"' the camp. Then Le consented. Every one was wild. I was offered $1,(100 for my two mules and outfit, but like a fool went with the rest. The trail led right into the Sierras. The first day was a race ana one-unr i ot the men broke down.

Among the Rabines, who dwell to the north of the Columbia river, a large un der lip is regarded as a tyje of beauty. A small incision is made in the lip dur ing infancy and a fragrant of bone in serted. This is replaced from time to time by larger and Lirger fragments, each operation being attended with se vere pain, and at length pieces of wood meat tiring not less than three inches ia lencrth and an inch and a half in width, are inserted, causing the lip to protrude 1 1 a frightful ext nt. A similar custom exists among the Paraguay Indians, and the'labneta worn by the Botocudos are inserted in a slit made in the lower lip. A Eotocudo has lx-en noticed to take a knife and cut a piece of meat on it and tumble themeatmohismouth. Among the Hydahs (Queen Charlotte islands) it is considered a mark of the lowest breed ing to be without this labial ornament of the lower lip. When a young woman and an old one quarrel the tdderly dame will reproach the younger with her youth, inexperience and general igno rance, pointing, were further proof necessary, to the inferior size of her lip. This lip" of beauty is not, however, pe culiar to these aborigines, but is com mon among some of the African tribes. The Berrys, for instance, who inhabit Sanbriat, a tributary of the Nile, insert in the lower lip a piece of crystal an inch in length. The Bougo women in a similar way extend the lower lip hori zontally till it projects far beyond the upper. The mutilation of both lips is observed fcmong the women of Kadje, in Segseg, letween Lake Tsad and the Eeuwe, Brooklyn Eagle. Taa Abnsa of HjjBotlm. An army of miscreants misuse hyp notism to obtain money from their vic tims. They are coiihtautly exposed by third parties, but seldom lose their power over their dupes, on account ot the mesmerized condition of the latter. Lower still in the depths of sin are tlx who call themselves "massage magnetizers," "massage hypnotists," or those who advertise -"t 1-ctric baths," "massage baths," "magnetic baths' and "magnetic treatment" There is no rea son for their existence, unless it be in a correctional or penal institution. Last ly there are the artists, professors or fakirs, who give public exhibitions ot the hypnotic process. Some of these are honest and upright, others are unscrupu lous and mercenary wretches. All of them, however, are to be care fully avoided by sensible people. They are to be avoided even more by young boys and girls than by grown folks. If any one desires to see the marvels of hypnotism, let him or her go to their own family physician, and either he or some other member of that noble profes sion will satisfy curiosity without in jury- to bodv, brains, minds or morals. In taking interest in hypnotics in any way, therefore, it is well to bear in mind Punch's advice to young men don't. Philadelphia Times. Speaking English.

An old Lancashire worthy and a London lady were one day occu pants of a railway carriage. The train had been wailing long at a certain sta tion, and there was no appearance of it starting, when the worthy remarked: "They're a giv, tan-rlesome lot here. "I beg your pardon," Eaid the lady. "A'm savin they're a gey daidlin lot here." "I really beg your pardon, sir." "I'm observin they are a vera dreich lot here the cicht." "Really I must again beg your par don. I don t comprehend you.

Forster, if taken at his own valu ation, would be quite the biggest person at any dinner tabic. He used his wit like a flail, and then looked round as much as to say, 'See, now, bow the air is choked with the chatf of other men's talk." I do no: think Crab'o Robinson liked Forster, though they often met perhaps be cause they cfteu met. They had both slightly disparaging anecdotes to tell to each other. As a poor instance of Forstcr's wit, I remember on one occasion Crabb Robin son toid the story of Lis butler whisk ing to him at the dinner table that the soup had run short, whereupon Forster, to tne astonishment cf his guests and to the dismay of his serving man, roared out the plagiarism, "Then let there b1 more munagaiaway soup, at the same time looking round as if Le had said a very good thing indeed.

It was something like what a cow would be rubbing against yon. The iron on Lis skin was, however, the very thing he wanted, as he soon gave me to understand. I was kept there at least half an honr scratching that monster with the sharp iron. He took it like a pt'g, bending his Ixxiy and turning over on his side so as to present a fresh sur face to the jumper. I suppose he must have felt easier for the operation, for after a time he moved away. I had one or two farther visits from him on following days, on each of which I was obliged to scratch him for a time. I think he must have recognized me a kindly and effectual scratcher.

Thing That Affect the Hypnotic State. The differences in the climates appear to have great influence on hypnotic sus ceptibility. Southerners and altogether thso who have been exposed to the tropical heat are much more easily in- fiuenced than those who live ta the tem jierate or frigid zones. Hypnosis not only apiears sooner in the tropical cli mates, but it is usually deeper, and the more complicated conditions of the states invariably ap;ear immediately The hypnotic susceptibility does not de pend on these circumstances alone. There are many other conditions which we must find partly outside of the indi vidual and partly within. It is neces sary to especially notice the different tempers of mind, such as delight, sor row, etc. What also works against coming into the hypnotic state is overexertion, either mentally or lxxlily, an empty or over loaded stomach, excessive use of certain nourishing su!stances, liquors, strong spires, coffee or tea. All these coali tions more or less prevent or distnrb the coming Lvpnosis. Furthermore, out ward influences, such as temiorature. dress, place of residence and surround ings, should all be considered. The room in which experiments are to be performed must neither be too warm nor too cold. Chicago Herald. Wfaittier'a I'ictare. On one occasion when the artist Parker had been painting a portrait of Charles Sumner, Whittier came to Chestnut street and said to Mrs. Sargent: "Friend Elizabeth, wilt thee go with me to see Friend Parker's picture of Charles?" "I should I very glad to," she an swered. "Wilt thee go this morning?" he asked, and upon her assenting they set off for the studio. When they arrived they ex amined the portrait of Sumner, but Whittier seemed to Mrs. Sargent to be preoccupied and to be in haste to call tier attention to something else, in a moment he said: 'Friend Parker, where is the other' The artist turned around an easel, and there was a portrait of Whittier himself. The poet wis as pleased as a boy at Mrs. Sargent's surprise, and as she had not even known of his sitting she was natu rally not a little astonh-hed. He was like a genial comrade in his fun, and, al though Le was naturally grave and se date, there was in Lim a most beautiful and genial humor and sweetness, like the color and perfume of the mayflower Tinder the grayness cf the leaves in the spring. Arlo Bates in Chicago Tribune. Angla-Iadiaa YTorda, Colonel Ynle, the editor of Marco Polo, has published, with John Murray, of London, a glossary of Anglo-Indian colloquial words. In this work, along with well known loan words from re mote oriental tongues, we are surprised to meet "Just the cheese," derived from chiz, meaning "thing;" also, "Don't car a damn," derived from dam, a small copjicr coin and equivalent for a "brass farthing." "Candy" sugar comes from khauda, and means "broken" sugar. "Chicane" and "chicanery" are derived through Trench usage from changan, horsegolf, or what we cull polo, a game which Las reached cs for the second time since it was imported into Europe from the eat before the Middle Ages.
