An Indianapolis colored barber is
credited with eating, at one sitting,
seven pounds of roast beef, forty-five
pounds of vegetables, a pone of corn
bread, a loaf of wheat bread, four piea
and six glasses of iced tea. Commenting
upon this alleged performance, the Balti
more Herald says that, "as a rule, the
Indianapolis reporter is an able-bodied
liar."
Lieutenant Dudley Mills, of tho British
army, in a recent expedition to Bhang
Tung, China, discovered tho sculptured
stones near Chiasinng, which he was the
first foreigner to visit. Tho inscription!
and figiyes are cut on tho walls of tombs,
and are mainly devoted to the illustra
tion of moral precepts. ' They aro said to
be seventeen centuries old, and tho first
description of theiu was given by a Chi
nese scholar of the twelfth ceutury.
Tho mortality of tho globe has recent

year, 3-i,031),83.5. The numlcr of births
poryear Is about 30,792,000; and per day
about 100,000. This makes about three
births more per minute than deaths. It
tho population of tho glob 3 goes on in
creasing at this rate of about a million
and a quarter per year, mankind will b
obliged to soon limr it the sign of

The Philadelphia Pre has been mak
ing a chemical examination of the output
pt Philadelphia bakeries. The result is
startling. Tho amount chromate of lead
used In coloring cakes and buns by the
Quaker City bakers is astonishingly large.
Speaking of tho chemist's report, tlx
Yen says: "It shows that even at thil
season of the year, when eggs are cheap,
and the inducement to tho substitution
of lead dyo is largely removed, tho poi
sonous material was found in six out ol
twenty-four cases." From May, 1884, to
May, 1837, eleven deaths have occurred
in a certain locality in Philadelphia which
are now believed to have been caused by
poisoned food sold by a baker, who is to
be prosecuted at once on the chargo ol
homicide. That so many persons should
have fallen victims to lead-poisoning is
not strange. Tho effect of a compara
tively small quantity of chromate of lend,
or chrome yellow, as it is callod, ou the
human system is fatal.
Valley City.Dal'.otu, claims the greatest
prodigy in music in tho Northwest. It is
Blanche Hamer, the four-year-old daugh
ter of E. T. Hamer. She plays on the
orgau or piano strictly by note,and reads
the notos w'ith surprising rapidity and ac
curacy, and always counts her own time
when playing. ' Her knnwlcdgo and ob
servance in the playing of rests, dots, ac
cidentals, and in fact all tho characters
used in music is unsurpassed by any play
er. Her first appearance upou the stage
occurred recently in the opera house be
fore tho largest crowd ever gathered in
the city, which audience sho entertained
by a solo on the piano. Blanche's ap
pearance upon tho stage was greeted
. with loud and extended applause, when
she was lifted to the piano stool and de
liberately executed, without a single mis
take or hesitation, to the astonishment of
everybody present, a charming solo, then
retired amid the cheers of the audience
to a little rockiug chair with tho dignity,
grace and composure that would do
honor to Patti.
A party of treasure-seekers, backed by
several Philadelphia capitalists, have
chartered tho .ehooner 'William P. Orr
for a period of six months to look for
(K)0,000 Spanish doubloons, which they
assert are buried off tho Delaware capes
on the English privateer De Braak, which
tank in 1798. A Loudon lawyer has
been at work for six months past in look
ing on from English records in London
thw'lll particulars of the founderiug of
tlJi Braak, and has furnished to the
parties interested the miuutest details of
the craft. It seems that the vessel had
been privateering ou tho Spanish main
and had captured two galleons loaded
with the precious coin, which was lodged
in the lockers of the De Braak for ship
ment to England. The vessef foundered
in a, gale, however, before she could
make the Delaware copes in safety. The
experienced divers, with all necessary
apparatus, steam boilers, pumps and a
party of ten men, will accompany the
schooner, and work will be started im
mediately. A powerful tug will be char
tered to remain by the Bchooner to tow
her to the Delaware Breakwater when
the sea shall become to heavy for work,
and to assist in moving the divers about
in their work in the water, which is hot
less than fifty feet deep.
A SUMMER SONO.
Ol spirit of the summertime!
Bring back the roses to the dolls,
The swallow from her distant clime,
The honey -be from drowsy cells.
Bring bark tha i.Tendshlp of the sun,
The gilded evenings calm and late,
When merry children homeward run,
And peeping stars bid lovers wail
Bring back the singing and the scent,
Of meadow lands at dewy prime;
Ol bring again my heart's content.
Thou spirit of the summertime.
Irish Timet,
HOW AMASA WOT GOT ON
HIS FEET.
A mass Snow sat in his little law office,
his feet on the top rim of his stove, and
his stove full of wood and red hot. His
office was about a rod from his house,
and quite near the high wooden gate
lendiiig into tho village street. Over the
door lead, "Prothonotury and Attorney-at-lnw."
It was a huge, faded sign in
black letters; one could not go by Amass
Snow's olliee and not know of the busi
ness of its occupant. The trouble
w ith tho sign was it was not alluring
enough. Squiro Slayton, down the
street, with a very small sign and over a
gioccry store, and without a big white
house, nnd a family name and connec
tion Squire Slayton somehow got all
tho business there was going on in East
Chestervillo. Amasa Snow sat tilted back
in his wooden arm-chair, pulling his long
chin leard, scratching the few gray hairs
in his sloping gray head, and. trying to
conjure up some new scheme by which
ho could beat Slayton again, and defer the
foreclosure sale. He had deferred it five
times on one excuse and another; but
Slayton had him this time; there was no
help for it. Tho old place would have to
be sold the old place where his boyhood
had been passed until he went to college,
and wheie he had lived ever since, and
seen his six gills grow up about him.
His six motherless girls I lie reached
down and broke a splinter off a bit of
pine-wood by the stove, and began to
chew hard on it. What would become
of the girlsf . Every one a beauty in hi
eyes; every ouc worthy of marrying tho
Governor of tho State. How could he
tell them that tho sale ,of their old home
cou !l be postponed no longer; that every
devise and trick, and every lesral quibble,
had "been tried and tried again? lo dared.
not tell the girls. He 1 yoked out
of the window; it was raining. An April
shower, to be sure, w ith the prospect of
a golden Bunsct Inter on, .but making
even tiling outside under the trees look
very, muddy and dismal. Amasa Snow
felt very much depressed. Fate appeared
10 oe aL'iiinst nun.
There were ids law books a couple of
thousand dingy calf volumes, not kept up
to date tho inheritance from tho judge,
his father, but even tho law books were
'chattcled,' as they said, t. ., mort
gaged, quite beyond their value. Every
thing lie had, in fact, was mortcaccd
Ho had como this wet April day to the
cna 01 t rungs. rcxt week came the sale
He felt like saying the deluge. He had
not enough money to take him and his
family out AVcst.
That was his plan to go West. lie
hardly felt his fifty years. He felt young
and energetic when he thought of the
West. By-the-by, there was his brother,
Elisha his brother who in his youth was
so like him. Ho was West in Cali
fornia. He had not seen him for twenty
years. The last he had beard from him
was a request to tend on a hundred dol
lars. That was five years ago. He had
sent him fifty, and nothing had been
heard from Elisha since, except his name
endorsed across tho back of the check,
showing that he had received the money.
Ko, it was clear that Elisha could
never help him. Elisha had caused him
to loose several thousand dollars once in
a mine. 'Elisha's mime was always a
great bugbear in his family sine. No,
Elisrra could not be expected to help
hiiu. Stay! An idea. A mnsa Snow be
gan to poke the red-hot fire vigorously.
It was a bleak raw day, but the tiro
was hot enough in that little office if left
alone. An idea. Elisha should be mado
to help him. It was a hist hope, but it
fired him with enthusiasm. He readied
up into a dusty book-case and got down
a file of letters. Ho was looking for
Elisha's address.
Just then there came a tap at tho office
door. Amasa turned round. "By
George I" he cried, nearly curried off his
feet with nstonisluncut. "It's Elisha
in propria pertona!"
"I have come home," raid Elisha,
meekly. "I havo come hoayto
neighbor round."
"And just in the nick of time, Elisha.
Mighty glad I am to see you'." Then a
thought occurred to him, as he shook his
brother's hand, with that feeble wave in
the air so common in Southern Connecti
cut, he would not tell Eli-ha of his finan
cial condition. He might not help him
if he did. No, he would keep his own
counsel.
Tho two brothers sat dovn by the
stove, and Amasa threw another stick of
soft pine on the fire. It was frightfully
hot. "See here, Elisha," he said, after
a pause. "How's the (J rand American
Eagle a-doiu'r"
"She isn't a-doin'."
"Nothiu at all!"
"No; hasn't been for ten years."
"It vat a splendid mine once, Elisha.
You used to say so."
"So it was. But we struck hard pan
you remember about it. What's tho
use of rakiu' over old personalities at this
time, when I ought to be received with
open arms, and a bonfire lighted, and
fire-works touched off!"
"I know, I know," replied Amasa,
apologetically. "I ought to ask how
you have happened on East this way."
"Why, ves; you ought to show tome
brotherly feeling. It's natural."
" ell, Elisha, have you got any
ready money in your pocket!"
"A thousand dollars."
Amasa walked over to his old rusty
safe. "Better put the money in hercf"
he asked, casually. Elisha handed him
roll of bills. "Don't feel like payin'
ha.-lr nv of thnt two thousand a.-kcl
I Amasa, facetiously, referring to the loan
, he had made him iu the mining scheme.
I "No," said Elisha, "I don't," Aftera
pause, while his brother locked the safe,
I he said: "That thousand i the hut cent
I I've got in tha world."
"Glnd you've come home. Glad vou've
come to live with me," said Amasa, tub
bing his hands, "Tho girls will be so
happy to see you. Come, let's go in the
house."
He slipped nn old, well-worn overcoat
over his shoulders without buttoning it,
and they went out into the rain. Elisha
was very well dressed. Any one would
havo taken him for a well-to-do We-itcrn
bank president. He looked sleek and
well red. J here wan t a trace of anxiety
about his faco. Otherwise the brothers
looked very much alike.
As they were crossing the threshold of
the house, Amasa whispered: "Just tell
the girls you're a millionaire; for a joke,
you know."
Elisha winked. " J es, he said, "for
a joke wish I was, though," and they
entered the parlor. There were the six
girls; six good-looking, hearty, frank,
healthy country girls. J hey all rose
and gave a veritable shout of welcome.
They usually gave a united shout when
ever anything pleased them. They fairly
screamed when Elisha opened the door.
I hey Hew at him. I hy kissed him.
They took his hat for him ; they took
away his overcoat and umbrella. And
hme they wcro impressed when their
father said, proudly, "And then to think
that your uncle has returned to us a
millionaire 1"
A millionaire! really!' chorusscd
the girls.
Elisha began to feel his old boastful
spirit, for which he had long been noted,
coming over him again. "Why," he
said, "out in California we don't reckon
a million much money. My five million
dollars don't count very much out there."
"klisha says he is going to Inula a pub
lic library building for Enst Chcsterville,"
put in Amasa, without a grimace.
"A public library, chorusscd the girls.
"He says he don't mind paying oil the
debt on the church either, added their
prevaricator of a father.
"How perfectly splendid I"
"No one would have thought the Grand
American Spread eaglo Mine would have
panned out so well," said Amasa.
Hy this time the six ifirls were dancing
Ground tho room in their excitement.
They had never been so excited since
John Mawley, the son of Mawlcy, the
mill-owner at the other end of the village,
had become engaged to Bessie Snow,thcir
eldest sister said Mawlry having con
cluded, ou the consent and advice of his
father, to break off said engagement,
after knowledge of Lawyer Snow's
financial condition came out and became
common gossip.
"Elisha rays the Sunday-school shall
have a new organ if it takes his lastccnt,"
said their father, laughing heartily. He
could not hold him elf in.
"Well," said Elisha, "not quite as bad
as that. But they shall have a new melo
deon yes."
This capped the climax. The Sunday
school had been holding picnics, straw
berry festivals, lectures, busy bees, and I
don't know what besides in which the
six girls had taken a lively interest to
raise money enough for an organ; but,
do their best, they could raise only about
fifty dollars. They threw themselves
upon their uncle, and as there was not
quite enough of him to go around, they
threw themselves upon their father. It
was a touching scene. Two of the girls
were in tears, and one of them was heard
to say: "Our deliverer!"
Suddenly Bessie looked up. "It's
late," she said "it's dreadfullly late for
the sewing society 1"
When they wero alone, Elisha said :
"You've done itl you've gone and douc
it I In five minutes every word of what
we've said will be all over this village.
Yes, and all over the State of Connecti
cut. I say, Amasa, this isn't right !"
"Why? Don't you have any fears.
Suppose they do tell of your millions; it
will give you credit."
"Ah, yes, yes! but they will all be
after me for my money." Elisha straight
ened himself up very stiffly, and but
toned his coat over his chest very firmly,
as if to impress on his brother the fact
that he wouldn't let them have a cent
not one cent if they did.
"Well, don't say it isn't so, anyway,"
whimpered Amasa, and led Elisha to his
room, where that great and good philan
thropist and millionaire lay down upon a
sofa and took a comfortable nap.
For a week East Chestervillu was in a
condition of ferment. The resurrrcction
of Elisha Snow in the form of a million
aire, after having departed twenty years
before with a reputation for unconqucra
b'e laziness, and an ability remarka
ble only for imbibing hard cider, was
enough to shake the entire county to its
centre. Then his magnificent bequests
the town library building, tho new
organ, raising the minister's salary, pro
posing to cstabli-h a Home for Iucuiablc
Idiots for poor Elisha fouud he could
not stop promising when he had once
begun, and his plan to build a new gym
nasium, skating rink, winter bath, all
combined, for tho young people, made
him at once the idol of the town.
Mawley, the mill-owner met Amasa
one day in tho street. "See hero," he
said, " I've told Slayton to let up on
you. You and I were always old friends.
Pay up tho interest on that mortgage
any time you please. By-tho-way, I'm
tired of Slayton. He's hounded you,
when you were down, in a mean way.
I'm sick of Slavton. I'll send you a re
tainer to morrow of five hundred dollars
iu a case I've got against some Providence
people. Big casis big money in it.
How's your brother f pretty well, I
hope. Those California magnates are all
coming East, I hear. Think your
brother would like to put any money in
my mill ? A big chance now. I don't
need the money, but it don't pay to
keep all your eggsiu one basket. How's
Bessie ? Good-morning."
"Mr. Mawley, ono moment. You
don't let up on me and send me this law
suit becauso Elisha is a millionaire, do
you I "
"Oh, no, no, no ! My dear fellow, no,
no! Why, what an idea! By-the-way,
I never favored the breakiug off of that
match my son and Bessie. Good-day."
Amasa Snow got round behind the
fence, and laughed and shook until the
entire fence laughed and shook with him.
His little scheme was working well. One
needs very little capital in this world if
one cau only obtain its substitute credit.
Thnt week and tho next he had retainers
scut him from several wealthy proprietors
in a neighboring manufacturing town.
They hud heurd of his brother's millions.
He had the foreclosure suit disc ontinued,
paid Mawley his interest, got his tuoit
KK8 extended indefinitely. What is
more, hts business picked Up so that he
paid a large sum On Account all around
among his creditors. They all said:
"Elisha is doing it for him." He painted
and refurbished the old Snow house. He
ran slightly into debt In doing it, but his
girls had some new clothes sent them
from New York. He donned a new suit
of broad-cloth, and he was happy. He
was on his feet. Slayton was utterly
nonplussed. In vain the wily pratitioner
went aboutspreading doubtsas to Elisha's
having any money whatever. "Why don't
he buy that organ?" he kept saying, until
peoplo began to wonder why indeed.
As soon as the rumor spread about that
Elisha waschildlesx,and that he intended
leaving his money in equal shares to his
six nieces, they went off literally like hot
cakes. Mawley junior, who really loved
the girl, married Bessie, and then they
were all married off in batches of two,
until the youngest refused to marry at all,
saying, with her finger at her lip, "she
preferred to stay with her father."
In one year all this happened. Amnta
Snow was now a successful man his
debts paid and practice increasing. One
day the rumor reached him why had not
Elfsha paid for that organ?
Me went to Elisha. "It is time," he
said, "for you to disnppear."
"I'm very contented here," protested
Elisha, "reading the newspapers and sit
ting in the hotel. It agrees with me. I
don't want to disappear."
He liked the adulation extended to
him on the ground that he was a million
aire. He played the easy, well-fed, rich
plutocrat revisiting his New England
home to perfection. His acting was con
summate, because it was nature itself,
without a mirror being held up to it. He
had just that amount of narrowness, of
close-tistedness, of sagacious doubt as to
the motives of men who approached him
with schemes for Investment; he acted
the millionaire to perfection, nnd he
never overdid it.
"Amasa, I can't go," he said. "They
think I'm such a good man to make
money. They have actually brought
money to me to make more for them.
Yes, I've received over fifty thousand
dollars for investment within the last
month."
"Great Scott 1" exclaimed Amnsa.
"This is dreadful! I sec State-prison
yawning before us!"
"It's hist what the Grand American
Spread-eagle Mine needs," said Elisha, I
swelling uimscu out a 111110 money.
"Well, take the money and go, then
go! I will have nothing to do with this
nothing!"
Amasa was very angry. He resolved
to be responsible for his brother no long
er. He went to his daughters, all but '
one now well married and in hippy, wc'.l-
to-do homes. "1 our uncle nnd I have
L UntC
had a row," he said,
to California."
"He is going back
And the organ, the new library, the
gymnasium?
"Well, he is mad about something.
Hesavsthe town has slighted him. But
one thing must bo understood, whatever
ho does I wash my hands of him for
ever!" Elisha did leave a few days after. Ho

Amnsa still lives a fairly well-to-do

in East Chcsterville. But he is tho

The Amir of Afghanistan.
A correspondent of the Journal tie
Debiitt sends the following account of the
Amir of Afghanistan: 'Abdurrahman
in the first pin t of his career was a sol
dier; when he was raised to the Amirship
he became a bureaucrat, a new role for
an Afghan ruler, and one not likely to
be popular. Each day with him has its
appointed work. Two days a week are
devoted to his correspondence, Monday
for that with the upper country (Herat,
Candahar, etc.), Thursday for that with
the lower country (Cabul. Peshawur and
India). On Tuesday hu holds his mili
tary durbar and receives the officers of
the garrison, all of whom dine with him.
It is also the day of private reception or
Diwau.i-Hass. On Wednesday and Sat
urday he administers justice, and admits
the public to his presence, eveu to the
last beggar. Thisis called the Diwan-i-Am.
Friday is treated as Sunday is in
London all the bazaars, shops and the
palace itself are closed, the mosques
alone remuining open. Sunday is do
voted to the Amir's private utlairs. The
two most important days are those of the
Diwan i-Am, for the Amir is nbove ull a
dispenser of justice. He dispenses it
w ith his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Highway robbers are brought before him
and ho hears the charg. Then he says
one of two things: 'Bckoiishid.' aud
they cut their throats, or 'Gargara
kounid,' and they lead them off to be
hung.' If an article is lost on the road
no one is allowed to pick it up.
If any one does so his hand is cut off.
The Amir is writing his memoirs, be
ginning with his ninth vear, and he is
now forty-two. They will be full of in
terest if the Ghilzais will only allow him
to finish them."

ME GREAT DRAFT RIOTS.
rEHRlBLH OPPOSITION TO CON
SCRIPTION IN NEW YORK IN 1803.
4 Itr-lef Sketch of tho Sanguinary
Resistance to the Draft Hun
dred, of People Killed.
The difficulty in enforcing the draft
In New York might have been foreseen,
indeed, it was plainly apprehended, but
it was not thought advisable by the Fed
eral authorities to materially alter the
regulations of conscription in putting the
law in force in thnt city. Still, there can
be no doubt that the vastly dilletent con
ditions then existing in New York from
those in inland towns of tho State, or
even other senlmard cities, formed the
original cau y of the trouble. New York
bad then a much larger population than
any other city, and a much greater pro
portion of foreigners among her inhab
itants. These, naturally enough, had
no sentiment of patriotism "to aid
them in submitting to the harsh
conditions of conscription. Further,
there were, as there always aro in every
large city, a great proportion of poor men
whose families live from hand to mouth,
and who never have any provision made
for future contingencies. To such
families of course the forcible removal of
their bread-winner meant starvation.
To such an extent had apprehensions oi
this fate of their wives and children been
aroused among the laboring men of the
city especially in those districts largely
inhabited by foreigners, and no doubt
incited by those who opposed the draft
for political reasons that associations
were formed to resist the law by force.
On Saturday, July 11, 1803, the draft
was begun in the Ninth Congressional
District, a locality largely inhabited by
poor people. It was carried on without
interruption or disturbance, but on Sun
day secret meetings were held and the
plans of resistance formed. When the
draft was begun on the following morn
ing, a mob surrounded the building in
which it was held, smashed in the win
dows, broke down the doors, and, rush
ing in, destroyed, the furniture, and
finally set the building on fire. All of the
officers escaped uninjured but one, who 1
was hurt by flying stones. The success ol
the rioters here added large numbers tc
thcirranks and in a few hours a great
army, re-enforced by all the roughs ol
the citv. was tramplinrr throiurh tin
streets, burning, destroying, plundcrino '
ana murdering wherever resistance wai
offered them. Crowds of women were
with them, inciting their husbands tc
lawless deeds. At first a detachment ot
L'i.rincs were sent against them with
muskets and blank cartridges. When it
.-n ltlfttt-n I ll u f tL.lil flrlni. nrnrlnio.1
effect the crowd .et uno , , ,
them, seriously injuring and even killing
several. Police sent against them were
treated in like manner. The Colored
Half Orphan Asylum on Fifth avenue
was attacked by an army of boys, the
children beaten, tho place plundered anil
fired. There wns no force at hand tc

Pulque in Mexico.
It is as amusing to note the effort!
which uewly nirived Anieirans make tc

respondent of the Philadelphia Prex
from Mexico. They generally begin in
Calling it "milk," or ut best "poolk,"
and end by doing their full share toward
disposing of those 80,000 gallons pel
diem. In its best estate the sour-smelling
stuff looks like thick buttermilk, and
tastes somewhat nustier, if possible, than
spoiled yeast. Its beauties were dis
covered about the yearliUO by Papaut.in,
a Toltcc noblemau. Tradition says that
this ancient benefactor, having suc
ceeded in dietilling a beverage which
to him seemed fit for the gods, called his
only daughter. Xochitl (the mime
signifying "flower of Tollen"), and
commissioned her as cup-bearer to the
King. The dusky Hebe was young aud
beautiful, and so the Toltec monarch not
only drank and praised the pulque but
straightway fell iu love with the niaidun.
He would not permit her to return to her
people, but for many years the old rascal
kept her a prisoner in his palace, though
wars aud bloodshed, and at last the dis
ruption of the empire, grew out of his
infatuation.

Brains aud Bodies.
On the one hand, the great men of the

aud to exercise was productive at once of
an increased tenure of life and of the
highest and best intellectual power,
Here uuain, were it desirable, examples
might bo indefinitely multiplied. It is
easy to recall that Sir Walter Scott was
unusually robust una physically active
until overtaken by fatal diseases; that
Burns in his youth was an athlete of ne
mean prowess; that Byron, in spite of his
deformity, excelled in leuts ot strength,
and that he prided himself as much upon
having swam the Hcllcsiiont as upon
having written "Cliilde Harold;" that
Dickens considered himself at a great
intellectual disadvantage if compe'led to
forego his daily ten-mile walk at four
miles an hour, regardless of weather; that
George Sand preferred to work far into
the night, so that she might have more
hours of daylight for her walks in the
country; that Goethe swam, skated, rode,
nnd was passionately fond of all forms of
exercise; that Humboldt prepared him
self for his explorations by systematic
exercise to tho point of fatigue; that
Leonardo da Vinci was a devoted eques
trian; that Wordsworth was an inde
