The Assistant Surveyor .in charge of the transit on our Town Site Survey durincj the past week, experienced gome of the wildest ec centricities of variation. In running and cutting out a transit line between sections on the mountain side, at a certain s)ot he noticed a distance of 50 feet a change from ,11 degrees East to 17 degrees East; then in lOOleet further, back to 12 degrees East, while 000 feet further on troin 12 degrees 30 minutes East it whirled around to 30 degrees' west, and kept at that lor 300 feet,' and then got back again to 31 degrees East. j , . t The survevor picked uv a piece of rock of the granite specie, which seemed to pre- Villi 111 IUU !JjCklXlJ j tlLlVt UI11VU 111 UbiU uio cpm)ass, when the needle followed it around tiio same as it would a true loadstone. The General Government may well require the use of the solar compass in surveying lands in this region. The needle is but a blind suicide. Parisan Flirtation. "TTow." asks a fast vounff Parisan of his liicnd, "dp you rid yourself of an attach ment which jou don't care to continue ?" "I have an excellent way. I write to the Postmaster at St. Petersburg asking him to send me a Russian postage stamp to pay for a letter from Moscow to Paria Then I put this stamp upon a letter which I have written the fair one, in which I say that urgent business obliges rue to pass ttiu next seventeen years out of France. This I send to the postmaster at Moscow, with the re quest that he will drop it in the mail, and the thing is done." "There is a much sim pler way than that. I write to my lady, 'I inow alL Adieu.' In twenty cases out of twenty-five there is something to know. At any rate it has always been successtul in my case." j Idle Negroes.
