The Presbyterian Church in Philadel

try thirty clergymen and then take a
vote to sec which one of the thirty shall
be called. This, says the New York

satisfactoiy pastor, but it may not be,
("after all. No one man of the thirty may
please a majority of the voting members,

Women who make their complexions
clearer by the use of arsenic, should study
medicine if they wish to keep themselves
from the danger of being poisoned by the
drug. A Miss Chauncy, a noted beauty
of Columbus, Ohio, whose fine complexion
came from taking a mixture of arsenic
and nitrate of silver turned herself al
most, black by going to the sulphur
springs and taking baths. The sulphur
decomposed the silver salts in her skin
and now she has retired for a year to re
cover her lost looks.
Some wears ago, at Panama, says Wilf.
t ta in Tmithi Companion I made j
the acquaintance of a trader, and ac
cepted an offer to accompany him to
British Guiana, journeying as far as the
delta of the Orinoco. This river annual
ly rises to a height of fifty feet, and cov
ers a tract-of country half as large as the
State of New York. When the water
subsides it leaves large, stagnant pools
along the edge of the savannahs that lie
beyond the limit of the inundation, and
these pools are literally alive with fish,
the most common variety being the eke
trie cel.
The natives are very fond of these fish,
but Laving a great honor of the severe
inf cells, filled with a thickish, geiatin
ous fluid., abundantly supplied with )
nerves, and situated between the head
and the gills. The electrical organ3 are
two in number, and the number of cells
varies according to the size of the fisl"
In one fish each organ contained four
hundred and seventy, and in another,
larger fish, one thousand one ..hundred
and eighty-two. Doctor . Walsh, of th
English Roval Society ol London, dem
onstrated the passage of the electric cur
rent from one of these fish through eight
persons, administering a preceptible shock
to each.
As soon as the eels were dead and
harmless, they are conveyed to the village
where one of the intermittent festivals
which appear to come round about every
ten days was inaugurated. The women
were busy all day making cassava, which
is a starch obtained from a plant-root
belonging to the Ihinhorbiaceav by a
rather complicated process. From this
cakes are made, and baked upon round
similar
to our griddle-
tto at
shock they are aolc to comroum
will, employ a peculiar .method iu the
capture which they call "intoxicating by
means of horses." -
During our stay in the village a number
of tie natives were employed in catching
them," and I found the method highly in
teresting. On visiting one of the pools
not yet disturbed, I saw some of the fish
at rest. The pool was about half an acre
in extent, the surface being partly cov
ered with aquatic growth, and floating
around on the top of the water, or near
the surface,--were 'large, -yellow, almost
livid eels, that resembled rather water
snakes than eels. Instead of the back
being straight as in the ordinary eel, they
appeared to "hump1' themselves, that is
to say, they drewthe stomach in, making
a slight arch of the back.
Lazily swimming along, they would
suddenly straighten themselves out with
a jerk, and then curve the. back again.
This I learned was the action of produc
ing the shock, also that its habit is the
reverse of that of the cat family, for it
straightens itself when annoyed, and be
tokens pleasure by keeping its body
arched. All around the fiool were
marvelous growths of rushes, and the
great Ita palms, which gives the natives
food, house, clothing, drink and furni
ture. -
The hunt, or capture of the eels, be
gan in the early morning, soon after
daybreak, so as to avoid the heat of the
noonday. About fifty men started out
on horseback, and surrounding a number
! of wild horses drove them to a pool. The
! onlnol TilnncWl in nvi) rornmenred
swimming across. .
The eels, driven from the bottom to
the surface by the splashing of the horses,
endeavored to defend their -territory
against the invaders, with the strange
means which nature has given them.
i Rising to the surface they rushed at
their foes, not to bite .them,
pieces of iron
cakes.
A canoe fidl of piwarri a drink made
of c:ssava and water fermented was
prepared, and the fish, cleaned and rolled
m sections of palm leaves, were baked
and served up to the multitude, who. beat
drums, danced, drank, and yelled until
dawn next morning, when the usual
occupations of the tribe were resumed.
The Demand for Shetland Ponies.
A great deal of interest has recently
been taken in the large shipments from
this city of Shetland ponies to Vermont
for general breeding purposes. There is
probably no one more competent to talk
about these interesting little bits of horse
flesh than George Yv". Elgin, a collector
and breeder in Scotland, who arrived
from the other side last week to investi
gate the cause of the demand that has
sprung up for his pet stock. Referring
to the methods of raising Shetlaid ponies,
he said:
"The race, so far as pure strains of
blood are concerned, is 'rd:yr8' extinct
A wrong impression prevails - that these
ponies are bred in the . She t laid. Isles,
whereas there are fewer there now than
probably iu auy other quarter of tie globe.
There was a time when some rich families
in that group of islands, with recollections
of feudal times, used to take great pride
in sending ponies to the lords md fine
gentlemen of the: Southern boroughs.
Now the average r'hetluuh'r is so poor
that the breeding of Shetland pmies has
given wav to tlu smoked i;-h industry.

"Salted" Silver Mines. ' ...
Er-Congressman J. A. Hubbell, f
Michigan, a millionaire mine owner, has
a keen perception of the humorous. Re
cently a Mail and Express reporter had a
conversation with' him at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel about salt and the attempt
to form a salt trust not long ago.
. have. never dabbled in a salt mine,
but I have in a mine salted," he said,
-with-rather strong, vehemence.
"Do you mean to say that the old
trick was -played on you?"
"Yes, 1 do. It was a silver mine.
The specimens were the finest I ever saw.
I became interested, and went to work
with. an expert to examine the mine. We'
found rich specimens, and it appeared to
be the beginning of another Comstock
lode. I was satisfied, and never once sus
pected that a trick was being played. A
number of us bought the shrewd pro
prietor out, each of us giving him $'600.
I induced James G. Blaine to put in
VGOO on the strength of my reporfc Very
soon after work began we discovered
that the mine had been salted most skill
fully. I went to :,Ir. Blaine and told
him the mine had been salted and that
our money was lost. lie took it very
philosophically.-'
"Have you been taken in since?"
"No; that experience taught me a
lesson. I found out that salting mines
and preparing specimens is a fine art.
Why, these scoundrels that manipulate
salted mines can put fine quarts speci
mens in so cleverly that it looks like the
work of nature. To make upon a solid
rock of gold or silver surface they shoot
the metal from a pistol, j never go into
any mining venture unless I do some
careful investigation beforehand."
"Is there as much mine salting now as
in times past?"
"Xo, and not so much made in mines
as formerly. . 31en who buy mines now
are conservative and do not go in with
their eyes shut. Naturally so many have
been.-tricked with salted mines that it is
difficult to repeat it over and over again.
Instead of doing the salting trick the
wild-cat speculators have new methods
and form large companies that deceive the
unwary. It is getting more and more
difficult to swindle even by the wild-cat
method because the newspapers have so
thoroughly exposed it. In fact, mining
is beginning to assume a normal, business-like
character and the avenues for
bunco miners are growing rapidly less."

India has of late years, been regarded
as our most powerful competitor in the
European wheat market. Advices from
the East this year, the New York Com
mercial Advirtiser considers, indicate that
we have little to fear from India's com
petition, the 'o&cial estimate being that
this season's output will be three-quarters
of a million tons short of last year's As
showing that no large marketable stock
can be on, hand, the o.oiciai .figures of
India's wheat ..export 'or the sseond

appears from this statement " that India
sent out in the three months 3,G46.590

charge of their batteries". In and . out
among the horses they swam, curving
and uncurving themselves rapidly.
The horses, crazy with the excitement
and the noise of the men, and the pains
from the electric discharges from the
eels, with straining, terror-stricken eyes
and bristling manes sought to escape
from the storm that had surpised them.
Swimming to the nearest edge they tried
to land, but were driven back by shout
ing natives who viciously struck them
" over the head and face, while the great
eels, pursuing them' to the edge, were
speared by the harpoons, and thrown
from the points far up on the dry soil,
where other natives killed them.
The livid color of the eels was greatly
intensified, and they were disagreeable
looking objects as they writhed and
curled in-, the water, while their eyes, un
permitted to live forty-eight hours, and
after being served with a pail of water, is
slaughtered for immediate use.
"The ambition of the Shctiander seems
to have die- out with the departure a few
years ago of a favorite sheriff of the
islands, wlmis.now Governor of the
Island of .Mauritius, i!;; was accustomed
to cne-Mirag -t-;e ii:d i:si ; ic-s of 3r;.in!anfl,

wife used to drive a four-in-hand basket

of the genuine Shetland pony. With the
sheriff's resignation the -Sliel landers . re
sumed their listless apathy, and there is
no such a thing as the weekly steamer
plying to Lerwick bringing a single con
signment. Even the old family of Bruce
sold all its belongings this summer, and
now dealers have got to depend upon
what can be obtained from the farms in
Aberdeenshire.
"The diminutive little horses are

to Glasgow. It is from the latter city
that the American market is supplied.
All the .characteristics of the Shetland

goose barnacle is found here in great

The Jelly Fish.
The jelly fish is found in the Gulj
Stream in great abundance of forms.
The mouth of most jelly fish is beneath,
and is surrounded by tentacles which
procure food. These are also furnished
by stinging cells by which the food is
killed. Their modes of reproduction are
curious. In some a portion of the body
grows out, and, after a certain time,
drops off, becoming a jelly fish in itself.
In others the parent body actually splits
in two, each part becoming a perfect fish.
So great is the transparency of most
jelly fishes that they are scarcely visible;
but at night, what a change! When a
school js passed, the water becomes sud
denly transformed to a mass of liquid
fire, composed of individual balls that to
gether, on account of their great number,
appear as one vast sheet of light. When
they are disturbed their brilliancy is in
creased. Far different from the jelly fish
in structure, but resembling it in its
phosphorescence, is pyrosoma, a colony
of animals often found in those warm

to convince the public that
mere must be some radical changes made
in our jury system. The time has come
when it ought to be impossible to
challenge the right of any . inteliigemt
man to sit upon the jury. An honest
and intelligent man could hear evidence
md decide justly, in spite of any possible
prejudice that he may have conceived in
reading newspaper reports of the crime.
As conducted .at present, there is rro
greater.--, farce than many of our jury
into the head so as to become almost in
visible in their rage at being disturbed.-
Once or twice a native stumbled in his
escitemert over some obstacle, and fell
so that some portion of has naked flesh
touched a squirming 'eel, and then a yell
was heard that left no doubt that it was
caused by acute pain.
At first, comparatively few were thrown
ashore, but in a short time several of the
horses, victims to" the power of the
shocks, were drowned, and gradually the
eels became exhausted and seemed to be,
as the natives said, "intoxicated..". They
swam aimlessly around, and were slowly
driven down to a narrow part of
the pool, . whera they were secured,.
as they lay half torpid in the shallows,
bv means of small.- harnoons and rude
fibre nets. Those taken in the nets were
transported to smalt holes dug in the
soil, and filled with fresh .water, from
which they could be easily taken as
occasion required, while those speared
were intended to be used as- immediate
fOOd. yy.
Such, howeveiyws the terror inspired
by these, fish, that the natives are very
reluctant to take them from the har-
named "Dot", and
the Duke of Eucr lunch and :,r owned, I
believe, by a young lady of twelve sum-
lieve that the Varnacle goose hatches out
of the goose barnacle, and many have as
serted that they have seen the young just
on the point of flying out. This belief
probably arises from the peculiar scoop
ing motion of the fringed feet of the
barnacle while it is obtaining food.
Even then a good imagination needs some
stretching to be able to see a resemblance
to a voung bird. When, a barnacle is
young it is free-swimming, and resem
bles a shrimp, but as it grows older it at
taches itself to some object by a sort of
cement and becomes so changed that,
unless its anatomy is carefully studied,
no. affinities to a shrimp would be im
agined. Indeed, early naturalists con
sidered it to be a shell-fish or mollusk.
