Iu an interesting Irtter from George
town, Demerara, to the Chicago Tribune,
tho writer says: On the northern coast
of South America, nnd to the eastward
of tho Orinoco delta, there lies a huge
mud flat. In our geographies it is called
Guiana, and in romance nnd history it is
poken of as the !jianish Main; but to
the commercial world and to tho people
generally it is known as Demerara. Hack
of this mud flat, at a distance of from
thirty to sixty miles, commences tho
dark forest of Guiana, which stretches,
in an almost uninterrupted band over the
equator nnd down to the Amazon River.
This mud flat and this forest have their
liitory, and a strange and romantic one
it is. But, for the present at least, I
will have to omit the romance and try to
give you an idea of a very matter-of-fact
city, whose interest now centers in its
chief exports sugar and rum. George
town, the capital of British Guiana, lies
upon the right bank of the Demerara
river, almost at its mouth. Its popula
tion, they tell me, is about 48,000, of
which some 45,000 are colored, yellow,
black or brown, for the majority of its
citizens come from distant climes somo
from China, many from Africa, and
thousands from the southern provinces of
India. In approaching the Guiana coast,
if your captain has his bearings correctly,
the taller buildings of Georgetown and the
masts of vessels in the harbor will appear
over the horizon before the land itself is
seen; for, as I have said, Guiana is a
mud-flat, and its coast lies four feet
below the level of the sea, the salt ocean
being only kept off the laud by an exten
sive system of dykes. As your vessel
makes her way through the mud-colored
waters and objects begin to assume some
distinctness you will see directly under
your bow, on a little artificial eminence,
the tumble down fort which guards the
mouth of the Demerara river. To the
left will be seen a. long stretch of sea
coast, made apparent only by the line of
courida trees which grow along its edge,
and by the tall chimneys of sugar estates,
scattered here and there; while to the
right will appear the same monotonous
scene, ending on the western horizon
with the Island of Wakenaam, which lies
directly in the mouth of the river Esse
quibo. Sailing around the little port and
going perhaps half a mile up the river
you will drop anchor before tho city
itself, the sight of which will certainly
not prepossess you in its favor, especially
if the tide is up and the long slopes of
green ooze left uncovered by the reced
ing waters are in view.
The day will, without doubt, be hot
for all days are hot in this Southern land
and you will be besieged by shouting
negroes in orient colored boats, who will
worry you more in one minute than our
. much-maligned hotel-runners would in
an hour: but the torture will end some
time, and you will eventually find your
self on one of the numerous "stellinrrs,"
or wharves, surrounded most likely by
sugar Hogsheads and rum puncheons.
and a disorderly crowd of coolie porters
and negro donkey drivers, all anxious to
take you nnd your baggage to some
hotel. There are only two hotels in the
place the "Tower" and the "Demerara
Ice house" so that no great effort is re
quired to make a choice. Both are
equally bad, and neither can compare in
accommodations or table with many less
pretentious establishments to be found
through "the islunds." Perhaps this
may in a measure be accounted for by
the opposition which they receive from
the numerous clubs which are supported
here by every body who is anybody, and
supply solid and liquid refreshment to a
vast majority of the white men of
Georgetown. .Perhaps tho best place to
get an idea of the strange life here is in
the Stabroek market. This handsome
building, covering a whole square, faces
Water street; and runs back to the
river. It is roofed with corrugated iron.
and such portions of it as are enclosed
are of stamped metal. The interior is
divided off into stalls, which are rented
to Portuguese, negroes and coolies, and are
occupied for all sorts of purposes. Down
one side are the fruit-venders, mostly
fat, comfortable-looking negro women,
each with huge baskets of fruit before
her, loudly soliciting patronage from the
passersby. In these baskets, and hang
ing from a frame work, are all sorts of
extraordinary loooking fruits granudil
las, paw-paws, alligator pears. sapodi lias,
mangoes, guavas, water-lemons, and star
apples, to say nothing of the familiar
orange, pineapple, and banana. These
latter are of various sizes, the smallest
here and in "the islands" called a "fig,"
being the favorite. This little banana,
of less size than a man's thumb, has a
most delicious, slightly acid taste, and is
as far superior to our common banana as
can be imagined. Back of the fruit stalls,
end covering the whole of tho rear of
the building, are the fish and vegetable
market", and many a curiosity they con
tain fish of queer appearance aud
strange names, querryman, gillbacca,
pacu, cartabac, and so on; vegetables
like the yam and yuca, which take the
' place of our potatoes, and plantains in
enormous bunches, the staple food of
the poorer classes and Indians. Occupying
the center of the market are the stalls of
Portuguese traders dealers in all man
ner of curious things, paddles, parrots,
hammocks, monkeys, common groceries
and bright-colored cloths; while to the
right of these is a spuce taken up by
' coolie women, who sell the smaller fruits,
little cakes or dodoes, and sweetmeats of
various kinds. What a sensation one of
these coolie women would create in nn
American city. Hmall and graceful, with
exceedingly pretty faces, great black eyes,
and a complexion little darker than some
of our brunettes, dressed in a flowing
garb of most gorgeous colors, and be
decked from head to foot with solid gold
and silver jewelry, they are indeed a
novel sight. 1 have seen one coolie girl
here- a common fruit-seller iu the market
place who wears daily nearly $1,000
worth of rings, bracelets and bangles on
her person. Hardly less interesting than
the women are the coolie men; thin,
lank, sad-faced fellows, dressed in a va
riety of ways, according to their position
in life; some with nothing on butadirty
breech-clout and a huye turban, and
others suuglv clad in robes of snowy
whiteness anoVsoftest texture; all bare-
footed and rmrelr-ggnrt, and many with
strings of coins around their nocks.. th
result, perhaps, of years of hard labor
on t lie plantations.
Water street, upon which the market
stands, is the business street of George
town. It extends the whole length ol
the city, from the suburb of Werk-en-
lliist to the sea-wall, atul ror its wnoie
length of about two miles is bordered by
stores and extensive warehouse, which
seem to do a large business. Tliero is a
lartro trade here in brnrht-colorett cali
coes, cheap jewelry nnd such other arti
cles as attract tho negro and coolie popu
lation. Tho smaller stores and shops
nro run by Portuguese, a people who
seem to bo born pioneers, for they are
to bo found, with their little stocks of
trade, scattered nil over tins South
American continent; away up the rivers,
far into the interior; no phco seems too
remote for them. So it is in Africa, and
in tho Polynesian Islands; everywhere
tho countrymen of I)e Gama and Slngel
lan lead tho van of commerce and civili
zation. Tho mora pretentious establish
ments of Georgetown are controlled by
English and Scotch. Several of these
stores nro conducted on a very large
scnlo nnd do an enormous business, car
rying in stock almost everything that
luxury or necessity requires. Of course
the great trade of the colony is in sugar,
molasses nd rum, immense quantities
of each f 'ting shipped to the United
States aniLCo England every year. Tho
sugar yield last season of the three
provinces, Essequibo, Demerara nnd
Berbico was nearly 140,000 hogsheads.
Running parallel to Water street is the
fashionable thoroughfare of the city,
Main street, a lovely avenue, shaded by
giant moras and cottonwoods, and orna
mented by rows of stately palms. Down
tho center or the street runs a stream ot
water somo two or threo yards in width.
in which grows the queen of lilies, the
glorious Victoria ltegia, with its nuge
leaves and large flowers of every shade,
from a beautiful pink to tho purest white.
On each side of the street are the resi
dences of "Tho Quality Folks," large
wooden houses, mounted on brick pillars
and surrounded by broad verandas, over
which grow, in wild profusion, creeping
plants of all descripions. There is an
other fashionablo street in the city which
I must not omit to mention, although it
has not a very euphonious name. It is
called Brick Dam, and on it are located
the government buildings and the resi
dence of the American consul. The
buildings are made of white marble, nnd,
though of no very great height," present
a pleasing appearance. It is here that
the court of policy sits, and the govern
ment reigns which Trollope describes as
"a mild despotism tempered by sugar."
The Metal Nickel.
The metal nickel has been made fa
miliar to nearly every one by its extensive
use in plating metallic surfaces, in which
it has largely replaced the more ex
pensive and less durable silver. In its
pure metallic form it is not very well
known, probably not so well as it will
be, nnd there are even those who claim
that it is tho coming metal for uses to
which it is much better adapted than
tho more expensive silver and the more
easily oxidizable iron and steel. It is
safe to say that its importance in the arts
is now very generally recognized, and
that its uses are destinod to be vastly
multiplied. It is not many years since
nickel was first separated from its im
purities in commercial quantities and
utilized in its pure state without alloy or
contamination by sulphur, arsenic or
other elements with which it is univer
sally combined in its natural state. As
to its geographical distribution, it may
be said that it is found in many locali
ties, aud in various parts of the world ;
but only in a few places has it been
found in sufficient quantities nnd of
sufficient richness to be worked with
commercial success. aThe recent discov
eries in New Caledonia (an island lying
east of and near Australia,) have given
'such importance and commercial cheap
ness to the metal as to bring it into eco
nomical uses heretofore unknown. This
locality is nt present the main source of
supply to the world. The only place in
the United States where it has been exten
sively mined is at Lancaster Gap, Pa.
This is the well known mine of Joseph
Wharton of Philadelphia. He is now
the only producer of metallic nickel
in the United States. The ore from this
mine contains in bulk from one and a
half to two per cent, of nickel. It is worked
into a commercial state at Sir. Wharton's
extensive works at Camden, N. J. The
important deposits cf nickel recently
found in Nevada are now attracting at
tention. These deposits are said to be
rich in oxides of nickel and cobalt. The
grade of this ore is claimed to be as high
as sixteen per cent, nickel, or nickel aud
cobalt. Nickel is now worked so as to
be ductile and malleable. This is to be
viewed as a new material, a new gift to
the industrial arts, with an unknown
number of applications before it. Its
most extensive use at present in tho arts
of plating, nnd in the production of Ger
man silver. For coinage there has been
a large demand, which is no doubt des
tined to be greatly increased as its advan
tages and economy are better understood.
In the last twenty years it has varied in
price from 1 to St per pound. The
price in England in 1883 was quoted (in
a memorial to Congress) at seventy cents
per pound. In tho form of anodes for pla
ting, etc., it commands a much higher
price. From 1870 to 1883 the price was
on the average upward of $1.40 per pound
for large contracts. The production
from the Gap mine to 1883 is estimated
at about 4,000,000 pounds. If the mines
'in Nevada turn out as expected tho im
portation of nickel to this country will
not be necessary. Button Herald.

i:nitiwlnr With F.Ktrnordinary
Mrrmth Prnpl Whom lie Touched
tntonlahlnjr iriailfotalloii.
A former resident of Gardiner, Me.,
aid to a New York Su reporter that
one John Downs, of Auburn, Mo., was
possessed of extraordinnry powers.
" Downs," said the reporter's informant,
" is known as tho bewitched blacksmith.
When 1 left Maine, fifteen years ago, he
had just become awaro thnt tho cxerciso
of his power was involuntary, nnd ho was
in great distress of mind over its possible
consequences, having just hnd a, painful
demonstration of what might occur from
its presence. Ho was not a particularly
strong man himself, but by touching
others he seemed to endow them with
extraordinary strength. This singular
power he was able not only to confer on
human beings, but ho could infuse ani
mals with it. I remember once seeing a
team stalled in a road leading to Auburn.
They woro attached to a heavy load, nnd
the forewheols of tho wagon ran into a
deep rut, and the horses were unablo to
pull them out. The driver was about
to remove a portion af his load
when Downs chsnced to be
driving by. He stopped, nnd, telling
the driver to leave the load as it was,
alighted. He rubbed each horse on the
head and neck, and almost instantly they
they became nervous and restless. Downs
told the driver to start them up He
did so, and the horses hauled tho load
out of the rut with tho greatest case,
and went off at such a gait that tho dri
ver found difficulty in controling them.
Boys who were barely able to lift tho
heavy sledge hammers in Downs' black
smith shop had only to receive the power
from the bewitched blacksmith's touch
to swing them with tho caso of old Vul
can himself. This singular strength
given to others would rcmnin in force
from ten minutes to half an hour, and in
passing away left the subject wenk nnd
depressed, and sometimes quite ill. For
this reason Downs finally refused to
make subjects of any one. Ho was
possessed, also, of great mesmeric power,
and with this he furnished no end of
amusement to his friends. Every day
ho had some ono running on tho most
! foolish of errands, or performinu all
sorto of odd monkey shines. On one oc
casion a stern, dignified and greatly
feared clergyman of the place defied the
blacksmith to place him under the influ
ence of his alleged mystic spell. In five
minutes' time Downs had despatched the
clergyman to a tobacconist's, a long dis
tance away, for a clay pipo and live
cents' worth of tobacco, with which he
returned ns meekly as tho most obedicut
errand boy.
"Downs finally ceased exercising this
power also, nnd hnd not subjected nny
one to it for more than a year. Charles
Woodward, a well-known business man
of Auburn, and a great friend of the
bewitched blacksmith's, the two having
been in the array together, returned home
from a long absence from town about
that time. Downs went to his placo of
business to see him. He shook hands
with him heartily, and threw ono arm
about Woodward's neck. This was on a
Thursday forenoon. Soon after Downs
went out Woodward began to dance and
sing and manifest an exuberance of
spirits that astonished his associates.
Although a man of steady nnd very
regular habits, he did not go homo all
night Thursday night, nnd did not put
in un appearance until Friday morning.
He boarded with a man named Edwin
Blake. Blake thought that Woodward,
singular as it seemed, was celebrating his
return home. Blake learned that Wood
ward had b.en around town smashing
things generally. AVhen he returned to
his boarding house Blake got him to go
to bed, and sent for a physician. People
called to see Woodward, and he astound
ed many of them by telling numerous
family and business secrets of theirs
which ho had had no possible means of
becoming acquainted with. The phy
sician said AVoodward was suffering from
hysteria, aud advised that he be rubbed
with strong mustard water. Blake
undertook the task. He had rubbed
Wroodward but a short time, when
l he was seized with a strange ner
vous twitchicg and contraction of the
muscles. At the same time Woodward
came to his senses. Blake took up the
singing aud dancing, and acted as Wood
ward had been doing for two days. Be
side that, he became possessed of most
wonderful strength, and it required four
strong men to manage him. To this was
added the still more remarkable power
of telling what the intentions of any one
of his attendants was, and what he was
thinking: about, making it impossible for
! them to use strategic measures in dealing
with him.
"It was net until Woodward was re
stored to his senses that it was known
that Downs had been to see him. It was
then ut once believed that he had been
under the strange influence of the be
witched blacksmith, and that this had
been transmitted to Blake. Downs was
at once sent for, to see if he could not
remove the spell he had inspired. He
I visited Blake at once, and by rubbing
: him soon restored him to himself. For
the first time in his lifo, as he said at the
! time, Downs himself felt the influence
1 of the power, or whatever it might be
called, as he removed it from Blake, and
' for several minutes he couid restrain him
) self with only the exercise of his will to
' the utmost. He said that he had felt
depressed and nervous ever since his visit
to Woodward on Thursday, and had not
been able to account for it. There was
I no thought of mesmerism in'hia mind
when he greeted Woodward on that day.
He said then that ho would never shake
hands or touch nny one again, if he
could help it. 1 have never seen him
since I left there, and I had almost for
gotten the bewitched blacksmith until
tho performances of the Georgia Wonder
called him to my mind."

Origin or tho Consrienofl Fund.
The Philadelphia Ilecord's Washington
correspondent . says: Every now nnd
then you seo an announcement in the
papers to the effect that some anonymous
person has forwarded to tho treasurer ot
tho United States at Washington a con
tribution to tho Conscicnco Fund. You
suppose from this that thero is some
where in the treasury a fund made up of
such contributions, which, by this timo,
must bo or very considerable size. Now,
the fact is thnt there is no such thing
as a scpnrnto fund for the contributions
of the conscience-stricken. Such con
tributions have always been covered into
the treasury under the head of miscel
laneous receipts. The term "Conscience
Fund" was tho invention of old Treasurer
Spinner, tho man with an autograph
which was autographical. Twenty years
ago, during the war, a letter was ono
day received nt the treasury department
'rom a mnn who, enclosiug a check for
$1,500, said that that represented a little
rr isappropriation of government funds of
which he had been guilty when acting n
quartermaster in tho nrmy of the United
Stntcs. Then came tho happy idea into
Spinner's handsome head. "Wo'U call
that a contribution to tho Conscience
Fund," ho said, "and have it announced
in tho newspapers, nnd perhaps we'll get
somo more." Tin contribution to tho
conscicnco fund was duly announced nil
over tho country. Tho treasury depart
ment promptly got "some more." From
that tune on for ten years the contribu
tions were very numerous. During the
past ten years they havo been constantly
growing more callous or moro tender.
Tho nomination of Blaino nnd the nom
ination of Cleveland in the same year do
not help you to a solution. Tho contri
butions to tho conscience fund have
never been very largo in amount. The
largest ever made was $4,000, forwarded
by a former internal revenuo ganger in
Chicago ns the amount of tho bribe he
took from distillers who desired to do
fraud the government. It will bo seen
that none of tho big thieves who have
fattened on public plunder have ever
availed themselves of this easy way of
making partial reparation.
Curiosities or the California Climate-
A recent letter from San Francisco to
tho Philadelphia 1'rext has tho following:
Another effect of tho curious San Fran
cisco climate is of considerable interest
to strangers, us it makes nine out of
every teu sick tho first week they are
here. Tho traveler from New York or
even Canada coming here at this season
docs not bring his lurs und flannels. Be
fore getting to California he crosses
thousands of miles of plains nnd deserts,
And is nearly linked. Ho mules if a San
Franciscan happen to be along nnd talks
of overcoats, and, if the San Franciscan
is a smaller man, feels like knocking hiui
down when he sits up und watches him
wipe the perspiration oil his brow and
talks about cold winds aud flannels.
It must bo confessed that, uloug the
Arizona or Utah desert, with the ther
mometer boiling in the shade, tho East
erner has a right to feel angry with the
San Franciscan's talk, and eveu until
Oakland, only three miles from the city,
is reached, his incredulity seems justified;
but now it is different. Mark the change
that a short threo miles brings. Murk
how a paltry lfulf-hour will draw that
self-confident Easterner up, will chill and
turn blue his erstwhile broiling lips. The
keen wind sweeps across tho bay, and by
the time the ferry lauds ut Market street,
San Francisco climate has got in its
work, and tho Easterner goes to bed
shivering, while ono of the porters goes
out und gets him a "buck-warmer" nnd
some winter clothing.
Wealthy people here go away in the
summer to get warm, instead of cool,
and ubout the first of every June the furs
and flannels are packed away, while
paterfamilias buys his ticket for Log An
treles und other hot resorts.
Good and Bad Meat. -
Good meat in a fresh state should be
firm and elastic to the touch. The
characteristic odor of fresh meat should
bo present, and the meat-tissue should
be dry, or" at tho most merely moist.
Tho appearance of good meat is marbled,
and its action on blue litmus-paper is
acid that is, it turns the blue paper to
a red color. Bud meat, on the other
hand, is usually extremely moist, or even
wet; it has a sodden fuel, and the pres
ence of dark spots in the ftit is u sus
picious sign. The marrow ot the bones,
instead of being light red in color, as in
fresh meat, is brown-tinted, und often
shows black spots. Tested by litmus
paper, bud meat is either neutral or ulka
line, und turns red litmus-paper to blue,
or does not ulter either red or blue test
papers. The odor of bad meat is highly
distinctive; und its color, us u rule, sus
piciously dark. Vhainlert' Journal.
