Some of the achievements depend-
ng on the incentive of waeers were in
past times very odd ; and journalists
always sought such narratives in times
when society had not begun to move
on literally and figuratively speaking,
at railroad speed. In the early part
of the reign of George III. two gen
tlemen made a wager at a cotlee house
near Temple Bar. One of thetn un
dertook to jump into the water seven
feet deep, with all his usual clothing
on, and undress himself completely.
He did it, and U we picture to our
selves the, twisting and wriggling in
volved in such an operation, lloating
the whole of the time, we must admit
it to be as difficult an aflhit as it was
ludicrous. A butchor, eti a calm sum
mer's evening, undartuok, for a wa
ger, to crow W Thames in his wooden
tray. In, tins exploit, using his hands
as paddlbs, be roado the passage safely
from botnerset btairs to the Surrey side,
roviding himself with a cork-jacket
in case of an accident. The chroni
cles took care to record that "seventy
boat loads of spectators were present ;
and bets to the nggregate amount of
more than l.UUU guineas depended on
the event." Ilichard Jenkins, a mer
chant of New York, wagered a large
sum that ho would pave 100 square
yards with stones in nine hours. He
accomplished it ; but we are left in
the dark as to what kind of paving it
was, and in what way the work was
performed. A gentleman undertook
for a 'wager, that he woulJ stand for a
whole day on Loudon Kridgc, with a
tray full of good sterling sovereigns,
and would fail to find customers for
them at a penny a piece The report
is thfjf. ho won tho wager, all the pass
ers by believing that ho was merely
trying to cheat them with brass imita
tions. During a visit paid by one of
the royol dukes to a victorious ship of
war at Spithead, a sailor got upon the
very top of the mo in-mast, (the truck,)
and stood there upon his head, waving
his hat round aud round on one foot.
It is to be hoped that this display of
antipodean loyalty was duly appre
ciated. Heidegger, Master of the
Revels to George II., was considered
to be the ugliest man in England. A
wnger was laid that a competitor for
his doubtful honor could be found. An
old woman from t. Giles' was brought,
forward, and the umpire, with Heideg
ger's own approval, was about to
award the palm to her ; but Heideg
ger, in rcspmsr.fr) a suggestion, put on
the old woman's bonnet, to render the
conditions more equal ; the additional
ugliness was so indescribable that the
victory was awarded to him... Long
before the days of steamboats, a gen
tleman wagered a thousand guineas
that he would make a boat move
twenty-five miles an hour. He accom
plished it in a very singular way, and
at a considerable outlay in yioney and
ingenuity. He caused a circular canal
to be dug, 100 feet in diameter and
nine feet wide, and filled with water;
a horizontal pole, equal in length to
the radius of the circle, was pivoted
at one end to a strong post in the mid
dle, and fastened at the other end to a
boat ; a horse trotted in a smaller cir
cle, at a poiut nearer to the post than
to the boat, dragging the pole round ;
and the leverage thus singularly ob
tained sufficed to give a velocity of
twenty-five miles an hour to the outer
end of the pole, and consequently to
the boat. A Baronet and a clergy
man laid a wager as to the time when
the first Emperor Napoleon should die;
but a court of law set aside this betas
illegal, on the ground that it gave one
of the partier an interest in the death
of a man much exposed to hazard.
We have only space left to notice
finally the wager concerning Sir John
Throckmorton's suit of clothes, on
which a thousand guineas depended.
At 5 o'cock on a June morning, 1811,
two South Down sheep were shorn ; the
wool was washed, carded, slubbed,
roved, spun and woven ; the cloth was
scoured, fulled, tended, raised, sheared,
dyed, and dressed ; aud at 6:30 the
same evening, the wool which had clad
the sheep in the moruing was worn as
a dress suit by Sir John at his own
dinner table. Chamber' Journal,
It is said Brigham Young is now
paying his addresses to a young lady
in the Seventh ward, with the view of
crowning her with a bridal wreath a
number somewhere in the twenties in
the list of wives. He is a most devoted
lover at any rate, and dines daily at
the shrine of his heart's adoration. I
am not acquainted wjth the young la
dy, but I am told she "is beautiful in
her person and not over three and
tweuty, while the Prophet is seventy
four, and, since the Order of Enoch,
is fast failing in looks, health and

"WAYS THAT ARE DAttK.
The San Francisco Bulletin relates
the following :
The demolition of the Mead Iiouse,
at the corner of Montgcmery and Pine
streets, has developed some facts of
startling interest. The Mead House
was a rendezvous for tho gambling
fraternity from early in 18G5 to De
cember, 1871, when the police raided
upon It and disturbed operations. Un
til this raid faro was conducted in the
building in a quiet and prderly manner,
and with profit, tbe net earnings reach
ing 3G5.000 for f A Eingle year. --This
was in teality a workingman's bank.
Herd the working class deposited largo
sums of money, and were not troubled
with bank books.
A few days ago, while the workmen
were taking down the walls, a number
of suspicious characters were observed
banging about the spot aud watching
the proceedings with great interest
AVhilo knocking away the wall of one
of the lower rooms tho workmen were
somewhat puzzled by the manner of
the strangers. I hrco ot them sudden
ly walked up to the spot and watched
every blow of the axe with the keen
est scrutiny, buddenly a gap was
made in the wall, and the next blow
of the axe caused a peculiar sound ns
it a musical instrument had been
struck. On examination it was dis
covered that three wires were running
up through the wall from tho floor to
the ceiling. . Iu a few minutes no less
than half a dozen workmen were about
the place examining tho wircs.the three
strangers looking at each other sign i It
catitly.
An investigation of the walls of tho
whole house was commenced, nnd the
revelations were indeed, of the most
startling thar.icter. In ono of the
rooms on the upper floor was an ar
rangement which enabled a player to
know exactly what his opponent held.
Directly over the table iu the centre
of the room was a small hole in the
ceiling through which the confederate
watched the game. Wires ran along
tho ceiling to tho floor, and ter
minated in levers beneath the cheat
ing gambler placed his foot ; as these
wires wero pulled, the number of taps
telegraphed the course of actiou to
pursue. .
The faro room was tho mt.st ingeni
ously contrived thing iu the house. In
the first place, wires run from the door
so that a signal was given when it
opened, and iu an instant everything
was in readiness for the drop. This
wtis accomplished by two levers and a
space beneath let into the floor. Iu a
second the gamblers withdrew from the
table, each man, of course, grubbing
his checks and money, and iiy a mo
tion of the levers the yawning floor
was opened and down went the whole
"lay out." The carpet was then drawn
over the spot, and when tho officers
hove iu sight there was nothing in the
shape of. gamblers' implements to be
seen. In the house there were taken
out no less than one hundred and fifty
wires and several contrivances for
suddenly hiding gambling implements.
After tho discover an endeavory was
made by the three strangers to hush
tbe matter up, but the affair becomo
noised abroad, and already a good
macy strangers were about the 'ace,
drawn thither by curiosity. The de
velopments are creating some stir with
the gambling-fraternity, but the lead
ing sports of the city denied all knowl
edge of the existence of the peculiar'
arrangements by which the unwary
were fleeced. '
It will be remembered that similar
discoveries were made some years ago
at the tearing down of a gambling
den at Washington D. C.
THE SAD AM Itl'JIAlfKAHI.K FATE OP
A .NEVADA l.WLINTOH.
A gentleman who has just arrived
from the borax fields of the desert re
gions surroundiug the town of Colum
bus, in the eastern part of this State,
gives us the following account of the
sad fit to of Mr. Jonathan Newhousc, a
man of considerable inventive ge
nius. Mr. Newhouso had constructed
what he called a ''solar armor," an
apparatus intended to protect the
wearer from the fierce heat of tho sun
in crossing deserts and burniug alkali
plains.
The armor consisted of a long, close
fitting jacket, made of common sponge,
and a cap or hood of the same mater
ial both jacket aud hood being about
au inch in thick nets. Before crossing
a desert this armor was to be saturated
with water. Under the right arm was
suspended an India rubber sack filled
with water, and having a small gutta
percha tube leading to the top of the
hood. In order "to keep the armor
moist all that was necessary to be done
by the traveler, as he progressed over
the burning sands, was to press the
sack occasionally, when a small quan
tity of water would be forced up and
thoroughly saturate tho hood and
jacket beloAV it. Thus by the evapor
ation of tho moisture in the armor, it
was calculated might he produced al
most anv degree of cold.
r - "K- . .1 T---.l.
iur. iewiiout-H weiii. uowii io i-eain
Valley, determined to try tho experi
ment of crossing that terrible plaoe in
his armor. Ho started out into the
valley one morning from the camp
nearest its border telling tho men at
camp, as they laced his armor ou his
back, that he would return in two days.
The next day an Indian, who could
speak but few words ot English, came
to the camp in a great slate of excite
ment, lie made the men understand
that he wanted them to follow him.
At the distance of about twenty miles
out into tho desert the Indian pointed
to a 'human figure seated against a
rock. Approaching they found it to
bo Newhousc,' still in his armor. He
was dead and frozen stiff. His beard
was covered with frost, 'aud though
tho noon-day sun poured ' .down its
fiercest rays an icicle over a' foot in
length hung from his nose. There he
had perished miserably, because his
armor had worked but too wellJand
because it was laced up behind lie
could not reach the fastenings. tr

STARTLING niSCOVERV.
The Washington City Gazette is ac
countable for the following:
At ths National Observatory two
persons are always on hand watching
the star' regions and noting down
everything of interest. Manv discov
eries of an important nature have
lately been made, but have not been
published.
One night during April last it was
remarked at the observatory that tho
atmosphere was in a very favorable
condition for vetting tho sky. While
ono ot the watchers was searching tor
the comet through tlio old equatorial
instrument the other was. directed to
take observations, of tho moon with
our new telescope. As the former was
attending to the duties required of him
he heard an exclamation of surprise
from his assistant. As he turned to
ward him ho saw him fall upon the
floor. Fearing something had happen
cd, he rushed to inquire what was the
matter. His friends could only point
to the uugo telescope, and alter a lew
moments dosircd him to placo his
eye to tho glass. He did so, and saw
upoc tho moon's surfece what appear
ed to be a large mountain, on the top
of which were two gigantio pillars
that seemed to be fashioned by human
hands.
The landscape al.-to embraced in tho
focus of the instrument appeared to
possess all the features of a terrestial
scene. There were evident indications
of tho works of beings who, if not
fashioned according to the structure of
the human race, yet had something in
common with them. .Largo cities
which must cover at least a thousand
miles square dotted the surface exposed
to the glass, and lakes, bays, and large
rivers could be distinctly traced. Per
haps no mortal eves ever before gazed
on such a scene. But the rarity of the
atmosphere ou that particular uiirlil
owiug to the influence of the comet no
doubt, was accountable for the jhe
uomeuou.
A messenger was immediately sent
lor rrolessor (Jolhin and others con
nected with the observatorv. In
short time they arrived, but hooted at
the idea when it was told them, aud
were indignant at beiug called up at
midnight, ihis changed, however, lo
they soon had ocular demonstration
that it was unmistakably true. Ou
readers may ue assured there were
sleepless eyes that nitrht ou tho come
of E and Twenty-fourth streets, aud
well there might bo, for there was a
chanco that a question which has
troubled man for centuries was about
to be settled, and perhaps light would
be thrown upon some things that had
heretofore uppeared dark. The next
morning secrecy was enjoined upon all
the telegrams scut to cminaut scientific
men at Cambridge, Mass., bt. Stephen
College, Avondaie, N. Y., aud else
where, to come ou immediately. The
several parties arrived heie, aud have
since becu holding consultations and
making obsorvatious. In a short time
the result will bo laid before tho pub
lie. We can say now that it is demon
stratod beyond a reasonable doubt that
tue inoou is inuauueu ny rational auu
intelligent beings.
According to a local journal the
Dismal Swamp is not as dismal as its
name implies. Ihe journal says:
"How littlo do pcoplo imagino that.
instead of a dismal, dreary, bogy
wilderness, tho swamp in question is
now clothed With a bcautitul foliage.
Tho graceful Cyprus, tho stately juui-
per tho yollow jasmine, and climbing
woodbiuo, sweet honeysuckle, and fra
grant laurel are ou every baud, aud
under a May-day sun tho appearance
is more like tho poet's dream of Arca
dia than a dismal swamp."
It is said that Paris cats marly ,

Mrs. Briggs, of Kansas, has sudden
ly become promiuent. This summer
the chinch-bug destroyed her wheat
field, and then started for the oats,
which grew near. She had a deep fur
row plowed, with the perpendicular
side next tho oats. This obstructed
the bugs sufliciontly to enable them to
bo gathered in large numbers in the
bottom of the furrow. For two days
the whole force of tho farm was em
ployed in heating wator and scalding
them. The bugs were destroyed and
tho oats saved.
A cadaverous, melancholy looking
mau, in a suit of thread-bare black
clothes and a battered silk hat, excited
considerable interest by rising in the
ladies cabin of a Brooklyn ferryboat
and solemnly observing: "There are
very few red-eyed widows uow-a-days."
Luko Chapman, of Collinsville,
Conn., has the flint-lock musket with
which Gen. Putnam killed the wolf in
the den at Pomfurt. Prof. Hitchcock
huj tried in vain to get it for the cabi
net at Amherst College, and Barnum
for his show.
A boiler containing forty gallons of
cream exploded iu a Reading confec
tionery, the other day, seriously in
juring two men. Pcoplo will, no
doubt, go on using tho dangerous
fluid, despite this "fearful warning."
A Nevada paper says : "There was
no regular trial in the case of John
Flanders yesterday. Ho had ail inter
view iu the woods with a few friend:',
however, and it U perfectly crrtain
that John won't burgle .ti;y more."
