MEXICO'S LOST CITY. The Remarkable Discovery of a Prospecting Miner. While Bsmbllne Through the Wild of the Dnrango Mountains the Pros pector Happens Upon the " Deserted Town. - , The finding of a mined and deserted city recently among the wilds of the Durango mountains by Malvern .-W. Cresworth, anf Eng-lish mining man, has had the effect of renewing the in terest in the lost city long known to exist somewhere in northern central Mexico, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The claim made that Mr. Cres worth is the first man to see the city is perhaps erroneous, as it is pretty well known to have been discovered by Jose Barresa, a Mexican, over half a century ago, while the Indians of the Sierra Madres have long referred to such a city in their traditions. On the strength of Barresa's statements three different parties have been outfitted in late years from San Dimas, a mining camp on the west si?!e of the range, in the effort to locate the deserted city and secure the treasure which the Mex ican said it -contained. The story of Barresa, who was alive up to a few years ago, is that when a young man of twenty-five years of age he was imprisoned in the careel in the city of Durango on the charge of cattle-stealing. Whether guilty or not he declined to say, but at any rate he succeeded in making his escape from jail and fled to the mountain wilds of the north in the effort to 'reach his old home at San Dimas. -: The Sierra Madres in the state of Dnrango are among the wildest mountains in the world and are almost impassable. The fugitive soon became lost and for many days wandered in an almost demented condition over the rugged fastnesses. One day in coming out upon a precipi tous bluff looking down into a deep valley he saw far below him what ap peared to be a populous city. After mn, 1!ffi.n1tTT lio Knii"fof1f1 in do- scendimr the precipitous wall which j hemmed in the settlement from the outside world, but found, to his amaze- a . . i . i : c-l-if I-1 HJ 11 1IU U 11 1 1 lilUUVllllUU 11 ' n V m-ma ploring the city, he found the houses deserted and the courts of the dwell ings grown up with rank weeds and tropical plants. Exploring further; he found signs which told him that the city had been deserted or its people 6wept suddenly out of existence while pursuing the ordinary vocations of life. "The place could easily be recog nized as an old Spanish mining town by the works which remained, and, going into the old mills and arrastras, he found large stores of silver ore left while in the process of being worked. The discoverer took samples of his ore and after many more days of wan dering finally found his way to- San Dimas, where he had the samples assayed. They proved ' to be very rich in silver, with some gold, and the story told by the Mexican created large in terest. A party, with Barresa as its guide, soon set out to locate the place and sack it of its riches. But as the mountains were Without trails and the country in general one of the roughest in "the world he was unable to again find the place, the trail to which was at least .very obscure and intricate: Two other attempts to find the hidden city under the direction of the Mex . ican were made in later years, but were no more successful than the first. As there was" every reason to believe the story many of the associates of Barresa, who lived to be over ninety years old," at various times have es sayed to rediscover the ancient city and its workings. Many of them have come to grief and have never been heard of since trying to unravel the mystery of the Sierras. - Richard- EvChism, of the City of Mexico, a well-known mining man and at present editor of the Mexican Miner, was personally acquainted with Bar resa when he was an old man, and says there can be little doubt that the lata find made is but an accidental discov ery of wha has . been searched for through maiiy years. Mr. Cliism is en tirely familiar with the country in a general way and says the Spaniards three hundred years ago had large mines worked by native slaves in the region. If the fresh efforts which w.ill be shortly made to locate the city suc ceed in their purpose he thinks some of the richest silver mines in the re- public will probably be the light and to work. reopened to Reindeer in Alask i. General Agent Sheldon Jackson has made a special report to the president concerning the introduction' of .Sibe rian reindeer into Alaska by the gov ernment. The plan is pronounced thoroughly successful, though slow progress has been made owing to lack of sufficient appropriations. During, last summer 127 reindeer were pur chased in Siberia, 124 of which were safely landed at the station. This made a total of S!0 in September. Herds of 100 reindeer each have been given to four mission stations; and dis tribution to various other stations will follow as the herd increases. -The statements that the 'superstition of the Siberian natives -would prevent the purchase of live reindeer, that deer could not survive transportation, that it is impossible for them to thrive in Alaska, and that -the- Alaskan dogs would scatter and destroy thorn, has been disproved by experience,' Tho Tcrrib'.o fchip Wi.rm. The testudo navalis, or ship worm, has caused the loss of more vessels than were ever destroyed in war. In tropical countries this worm penetrates the timber of vessels and eats away the wood until there is only a shell left, which will crumble at a slight blow.

William II IVeece. the celebrated English electrician, vioited Chicago and other American cities last year, and recently published a paper in j which die telegraphic systems of the j two countries are compared. Mr. j Preece says: . -. ' "It is quite impossible to inspect the telegraph system of the United States ' and compare it with our own system without drawing comparisons about the way in which the work is donein -the two countries. The result of my , . u a. n ;0 i,n rn do our work better in England than they do in- the states. Our apparatus-; is better, our speed is higher. Mes- saesare handled with greater relia- ! bifity A message can be sent and its ! renlv received with certainty m an ' hour in England. I fancy such rapid 4 ity would astonish the users of the telegraph in the states, except those in such busy centers as New" York and Chicago, and generally the speculative branches of the community.' The do mestic telegram scarcely seems to have reached the United States, and this is owing probably to the fact that the districts of private residences, the small towns and the villages do not possess telegraph offices unless they' are supplied by the railway company at the railwav station or by the West ern Union company, who do the work' A for the railway company. "I fail to see any superiority in the manipulative skill of American op erators. They ' ccrtaiidy have not made the same advance in technical education that we have, and altogether it may be said that the management of the tele graphs in the hands of private enter prise does not compare favorably with the management of the telegraphs by the state at home. At the same time it must not be assumed, because the government has advantageously taken the telegraphs in hand at home, that such a process would be possible in the states. In my opinion it would be ab- solutely impossible. The civil service of. the. United States is in a very chaotic condition. The principal ap pointments are four-year appointments only and are . filled politically. The reason why our post offices and our telegraph offices at home, work so well is because the public exercises such a useful and such a determined supervision over the work. The free opening of the press to complaints; the readiness With which members of the house of commons ask questions though at times, perhaps, irritating and vexatious are-undoubtedly good for the service, for they keep us all alive. Such a state of affairs is impos sible in the states. The government of the United States must first reform its civil service and when it gets officials into the service whose tenure of office is secure and whose zeal is as unques tioned! as it is in England, then there will be some chance of their govern ment acquiring the telegraphs; but under existing circumstances the ac quisition of the telegraphs by the gov ernment of the United States would amount virtually to the deterioration of the service." ANCESTOR OF HOOFED ANIMALS Its Bones Were Found Wyoming anj It Flourished 500,000 Tears A to ll! the rooms of Trof. E. D. Cope, of Philadelphia, the person fortunate enough to gain admission may see the creature which' all naturalists, says the St. Louis Republic, are unanimous in pronouncing the first representative of the hoofed animal species. The ani mal is not alive, neither is it entire so far as flesh and lilood are concerned, but to the - paleontologist, who cares only for the fossiled bones, the speci men is perfect. It is not larger than a yearling calf and not nearly so tall, and was found in the Wind river coun try in Wyoming. Prof. Cope named it Phenacodus primaevus when it was first , discovered, giving it as his opinion that it was akin to- a specimen which was found several years ago in France (the paleotherium), and which gave Cuvier and the other naturalists so much trouble to classify. At the time of the discovery of the French specimen the savants of Europe de cided that it was the ancestor of "hoofed critters," but the Wind river fossil,, which is easily distinguished as being the type of the. same, is believed to be much more ancient. Cope's curi osity was found in rocks belonging to the eocene period, and the time when it grazed oa the western piairies has been placed as far back as five hundred thousand years! Every bone is perfect anu the specimen could not be chased for ten thousand dollars. pur- Abandoned Western Farms. Will iara Henry Bishop, writing of the abandoned farms of Connecticut in the Century, says: Nor was the in quiry largely from city men, like my self, who wished to take the places for summer homes, a demand in which some have seen the salvation of these farms, as others have seen it in more grazing, in sheep, tame deer, apples and wheat. The city men who inquire are only a very small p:'rty. The farms are being taken up by farmers for farming purposes. Many inquiries come from the wes.t. One man that I know of, not; having ready money to offer, proposed to pay ' for a place in bushclri of wheat, at the market price, delivered at a western railway station! It is not so easy to prosper in the west as it once was, and many who have gone there turn back in desire to their New England birthplace. Prof. Brewer, of Yale, a most hopeful writer on the subject of eastern agriculture, asserts that there are more abandoned farms in Kansas than in New England, and that they are abandoned -with better reason. There was a dull streak," as some put it, in farming property three years ago, and the issue of the catalogues coincided with the dark est moment of the depression; but the inevitable reaction set in, and "it is the general testimony that ever since then things have been very much on the mend.

It was a thrilling expe-' rience and a narrow escape from death for both. Statesville Land- mart. - W H Y HOOD 'S ?

They Weed Not Pay Tradesmen' Bills. Bot They Must Pl7 Cards Fairly Some Queer Notions of Honor Anions the " Bloods.. There are many things which it ap pears a gentleman may do nowadays in Europe without incurring the loss of his right to that designation by society or forfeiting what the latter regards as his "honor." savs a writer in the New Vrn - b - Trihnne. Thus ne may avoiu paying his creditors, provided they are tradespeople or friends, who, instead of being content with his plighted word, have accepted the additional security of a promissory note. Indeed, the passing of any paper between creditor and debtor is held to remove the obligation from the list of debts of honor and places it among the so-called "trades men's debts," the nonpayment of which involves no loss of "gentilhommerie" or of "honor." Debts of honor, that is to say, loans based merely upon ver bal obligations and bets, must be paid at all cost, according to the ethics gov erning the "code of honor," even if the debtor has to obtain the money by means of methods which verge not only upon the dishonorable, but even on the criminal. It is for this reason that we sometimes hear of young men going to the length of stealing their mother's jewels or forging the name 'of their nearest and dearest relatives, as did the eldest son of an English peer the other day, for the sake of paying their debts of honor, failing which, they can no Idnger hope to retain the social status of a gentleman. One has heard of men committing suicide, like young Count ' Aloys Urdegg a few weeks since at Vienna, and the last marquis of Uastings, years ago in Lon don, because they were unable to pay their "debts of honor," but one haa never heard of a gentleman taking his own life because he could not pay his tailor. Connection with a divorce suit, far from detracting from the "status of a gentleman," is, on the contrary, rather a feather in his cap, excepting in cases where the co-respondent pre fers to speak the truth and acknowl edge his guilt rather than perjure him self in the witness box "like a gentle man." The most mortal of all sins in the eyes of society, the one that en tails above everything else the forfeit ure of the title of gentleman and of all honor is unfair play at cards; and it is no secret that the majority of the great families in Europe would infi nitely prefer to have a murderer among their relatives than a man convicted of the oliense which resulted in the so cial ostracism of Sir William Gordon Gumming, of the duke of Eoxeburghe's son-in-law, George Russell, and of Majr, lion. Walter Ilarbord, brother of Lord SufSeld. These perhaps are the principal things which a "gentle man" and "a man of honor" may and may not do according to the tenets of old world society. The latter may be summed up in brief as the payment of debts of honor, reticence with regard to all "affairs de coeur" and playing fairly at cards. . Provided a man does not break these three commandments he may commit every other sin with impunity, and if .only he be of gentle birth his shortcomings will be regard ed merely in the light of venal eccen tricities. BIG HATS AT THE OPERA. Some Snappy Talk at a Recent Charity Performance In New York. In the course of its recent engage ment in New York the Ahbey-Grau Opera company gave a performance in aid of the unemployed. The seats were sold at auction, high prices being obtained, and a tremendous audience assembled on the evening of the per formance. Several good stories are told regarding the evening's entertain ment and the audience by a corre spondent of the San Francisco Argo naut. A lady in the balcony wore a prodigious hat, with a still more pro digious feather m it. Another lady sitting behind her expostulated, de claring that the hat and feather shut her out from a view of the stage. The hat wearer proving obdurate, the suf ferer called to an usher and remarked! "We paid six dollars for our seats and not 3r a back view of that feather. If you don't make that woman remove her hat I'll sue the opera house." The usher's polite remonstrances induced the offender to remove the feather, but she sat through the performance with her big hat on. Another lady, also with a big hat, was appealed to by one who sat behind her to remove it in order that the stage might become visible. She smiled sweetly and replied that she would lve to oblige the ladies behind, but she really couldn't; her hair wasn't properly done up. "That will not mat ter," said the protesting lady, in a loud voice; "I'm not particular. You may take your hair off, too." It Looked That Way. Whoever has seen the Washington monument in Baltimore, with the crouching bronze lion at its base, will appreciate the story they tell about the rustic hunter on his first visit to town. He scanned the shaft for some time, running his eye from the base to the point on which the statue stood and back again.and then fastened his gaze on the crouching lion, as. if fascinated. Ilis lips parted, and his city friends drew near to hear hia crit icism. At last out came the words: "By Jinks, he's got the old man treed, ain't he?" - . A Monster Balloon.

Da. J. F. Kincheloe, Conway, Ark. The Centaur Company, TI Murray Street, Now York City, A RIDE ON A WHALE. The Stirring and Veracion Tarn of a Jl from North Carolina. . Capt. Jim ; Willis, who hails from Morehead City, N. C, where he run pleasure craft for the accommodation of northern consumptives, had an ex perience with a whale that came near making a Jonah of him. In his own story, as given to a Washington Star reporter, he says: "One sunny after noon, not very locg ago, I was sitting in the shade of my own fig tree and swinging in my own grapevine swing. A party of my fisher friends who lived farther up the beach, came running by, and as they passed me they sang out: 'There she blows!' This cry woke me up. I saw a jet of water spurted up ward from the sea, and down to the pier I rushed. There wasn't a real whaleboat in the town, but four ordi nary fishing boats were manned by as many crews. One carried the harpoon gun and one the hand-hurling appa ratus. The other two were without any armament excepting several shot guns and one or two rifles. We rowed off 6o as to come at the game from dif ferent points of the compass. I was in the gunboat. As wo approached the whale it was seen that he was a large and fat one. He took no notice of our coming. When we got within about one hundred feet of the monster the harpoon gun was fired, and the barbed weapon took effect just behind the head and pretty well up on the back. This was painful, but not necessarily a fatal shot. The other boats turned themselves loose and made some inser tions in the fish. . "Instead of going under,, as wounded whales do, he remained on top to fight it out. He swishfed his tail and turned the sea into suds and made such a swell that the good people of Alexan dria would riot have permitted him to pass their port without slowing down. lie plimge'd headlong against one of the boats and stove it so that it would hardly float. Its occupants were knocked overboard. There was a good deal of . excitement. The sea round about us was boiling, the. whale was red-hot with rage, the men were shouting and the guns were popping. The fish next hurled himself against the boat in which I was, and it yielded to his wishes and got smashed. Itwas raised a considerable distance in the air, and when it came down I was "oa that whale's back, just abaft his head, and holding on to that harpoon with both hands. The line which had connected the harpoon and the boat had parted, and about two hundred feet of manilla haw- cvr,quirm,-d and wriggled snake-like aroaiv.1 in the seething sea. The whale didn't seem to observe my attitude laid continued his attention upon t'le two remaining boats. There wasn't any time to think of this. The hand harpoon had been shoved into the right place and th ; whale was blowing his lar.t. A column of blood was being squirted skyward and the scarlet flood fell over me, dy ing me a gory hue. A few feeble swashes of the tail and a keeling mo tion as though he was going to lie on his side announced that the fish was dead. Our catch was lashed alongside the pier and the next day we went to work at his carcass. The fish was sixty-two feet three and three-fourth inches long, and the proceeds from the sale of his oil, bone and other valua bles were three thousand five hundred dollars." JAPANESE PROVERBS. Sayings of FiTe Centuries Affo Which Are 1.11c e Modern Ones. The opening of Japan to the west- era nations was tne means of making the world acquainted with its litera ture, which includes a larj'e number of ery interesting boolcs, some of which have been translated recently by trav elers and oriental scholars. Araoaj the favorite Japanese novelists who flourished about live hundred years apro was Bakin. From one of his books, entitled "Kumono Tayema Araa Yo No Tsuki" (maanin? "the moon, shining through a cloudrift on a rainy night"), the following quaint aphorisms are se lected to show the philosophic spirit that prevailed in the Land of the Rising Sun a hundred years bafore this continent was discovered. The late Mr. Edward Greey, of New A'ork, made the translation of Bakin's ro mance as well as of other Japanese books, and it is from his version the selections are made.

Excess of Etiquette KillndOlim. The, rigid etiquette of courts has more than once come near making a martyr of the person whom the rules prevented from aiding off-hand. In Bpain these notions of etiquette were carried, to such an extent that Philip III. met his death m direct conse quenoe of them. - The king was one day gravely seated by a chimney where the llremaker of the court had kindled so great a quantity of wood that the mon arch was being suffocated with heat, Ilis grandeur would not suffer hira to rise from the chair to call for help; the oflicers-m-wuiting were not within call, and the domestics could not presume to enter the apartment, because it was against the etiquette. At last Mar quis de Pobat appeared, and the king ordered him to damp the fire; but he excused himself, alleging that he was forbidden by the etiquette to perform such a function,- for which Duke d'Asseda ought to be called upon, as it was his business. The duke was gone out, the fire burned fiercer, and the king endured it rather than derogate from his dignity; but his blood was heated to such a degree that erysipelas broi;e out in his head the Dext day, which, being succeeded by a violent fever, carried J.im off.
