MISCELLANEOUS ITEM3• - The first American counterfeiter, to far us known, was one William Buel, of Ver. mint. - The Aztaes filled quills with gold dos', sealed them and passed them from hand to hand as coir. . The tao, or knife coins, of China, made rrrert B.C. 2153, were of iron, in the drape of daggers. The Swiss postoffice conveys anything from a postal card to barrels of wine scythes tend bundles of old iron. • Chinese burglars wear not a scrap .of clothing and artfully braid their pigtails full of fish hooks for obvious reasons. There are at the present moment' eleven pretenders to the various thrones of Europe trying to make good their claims. The Honorable Artillery company of the City of London, which dates from the time of Henry VII., is the oldest volunteer corps in Englaud. Augustus was n'ot the public benefactor he js represented. He was the most exacting tax collector the Roman world had up to his time ever seen. Colnmbua did not foretell an eclipse of the moon to frighten the natives of Jamaica iuto rendering him assistance. There was no eclipse of the moon at that time. The desideratum of printing photographs on marble has now been realized to such a degree as to insure a genuine artistic result, and this by a process both simple and economical. A suit over the burglary of $11 in the court at Centerville, N.Y., has already cost the county and the several parties in the suit over a hundred times the amount of the original loss. A church at Fostoria, Ohio, has decided to purchase 40') little wine glasses, that each communicant may receive the wine out of a glass no other person has used, in order to avoid microbes. Alexander the Great did At weep for other worlds to conquer. There is reason to euspect that his army met with a serious reverse in India, a fact that induced him to retrace his steps. The immense burning glasses with which Archimedes burned the ships cf the besieg- ers of Syracuse at ten miles distance were never m&,nufactured, and it is now known that they could not be. A Montana man has just completed and applied for a patent on an automatic ma- irine that bids fair to revolutionize the cut- ting of precious stones. This machine can do the work of at least twelve men. The existence of the Colossus of Rhodes is considered by some historians as ex- tremely doubtful. There is no evidence that the ancients were able to cast pieces of metal of such size as must have entered into its composition. Some tribes of North American Indians punished` matricides by hanging•them by their hands to the limbs of a tree, at a height just sufficient to permit the wolves to reach them from the ground. They were left to be eaten alive. Columbuiedid not make an egg stand on end to confuse his opponents. The feat was performed by Brunelschl, the archi- tect, to silence critics who asked him how he was going to s'-pport the donne of the Cathedral ot Florence. A church at Fostoria, O:, has decided to purchase 400 little wine glasses that each communicant may receive the wine out of a glass no other person has used, in order to avoid microbes. The oldest dress in the world belonged to an empress of Japan, who lived in the thirteenth century and it has been kept all these centuries in a temple near Yoko- hama. - Cinderella's real name, it is alleged, was Rhodope. She is believed to have been a beautiful Egyptians maiden wh-, lived 6;C years before the common era and during the reign of Psammeticus, one of the twelve kings of Egypt. • Some of the beekeepers in Skagit Cnunty, Washington, will take 100 pounds from each of quite a number of their cclon- ies this season. This means 520 per swarm, gross, which is regarded as better than 100 per cent. interest on the investment. The Chinese doctor's lot is not wholly a happy one. Four members of the Imperial College of Physicians at Pekin failed recently to make a proper diagnosis of the emperor's indisposition and were punished by being fined a year's salary. Among the degenerate Romans from A.D. 100 to A.D. 500 titles were graded with almost mathematical exactness, and teen of different social rank insisted on being addressed as Illustres, Spectabiles, Claris- simi, Perfectissirni, Egregii, and so on, according to their position. The kings of Sardinia formerly described themselves as " By the grace of God, King of Sardinia, of France, Spain and England, of Italylan3 Jerusalem, of Greece and Alex- andria, of Hamburg and Sicily, Ruler of the Midway Sea, Masters of the Deep, Kings of the Earth, Protectors of the Holy Land." The sovereign of a little Greek island during the middle ages styled himself : " The Protector of Religion, whose Fame is Infinite; who Exceeds the Sun, the Moon, the Unexpanded Buds, the Stars, the Jewels ; whose Feet are as Fragrant to the Noses of Other Kings as FIowers to Rees ; the most Noble Patron, thepod by Cus- tom." us-tom." A four tined silver fork bearing the name of the old steamboat S.B. Bayard, which went ont of service twenty . years ago, was found in the stomach of - a forty- pound ortypound catfish hauled out of the Missouri at Louisiana, Mo., a few days ago. Where the fork has been for twenty years,andhow long it has been serving as ballast in the catfish, are matters which have been aub. mitted to the river folk -tie discussion. It is not for the tickling of the palate but for drunkenness that the average western. Indian seeks firewater, and the worst drink that would prgkluce a wilder jag he would rather have than the finest Bourbon- About Tekoa, Wash., the sale of whiskey to In=k dians being forbidden, the red men buy and eagerly' drink lemon extract and similar preparations, which,being largely composed. of alcohol, leave a much more vivid effect than whisky. - Several prominent sportsmen; of Braaoria and Matagorda counties, Texas, areabout to organize an association for the protection of alligators—an odd sort of game protection —which they believe will bring a good financial return. Hundreds of young alliga- tors are shot every mouth ot the warm season by people. who are desirous to kill something and do not know er care for the value of alligator skins and teeth. There are now several alligator farms in Texas. which are regarded as food investments, for, besides devouring the carrion that makes the water injurious to stock, the alligators clear it of the gars that are so tie =-' active to black bass and the fish the southerners call " trout." - 1'he ticket agent and telegraph operator >.tone ofthe stations on the Adirondack Rail- way has au nnquenchab:e horror of tray 1 in any way save on foot. He fears that ire rses will bolt and that engines will jump the track, and the perils of navigation nothing would induce him to encounter. lW hen business calls him to Saratoga—so fat the limit of his journeyings since birth—he bids his family a solemn farewell, and rejoices greatly on a safe return. He is a well read, thoroueh'y sensible man, but try as he will he cannot overcome his dread of all- fo ens of rapid transit. An admirer of John Greenleaf Whittier has gone through his poems stanza by st: nza in order to ascertain what flowers are n.en- tioned by him. She found forty-nine, as follows : Azalea, aster, amaranth, asphodel, brier rose, buttercup, crocus, clethra flower, cardinal flower, daffodil, dogwood, eigau- tine,fern, gentian, goldenrod, harebell, heli- otrope, honeysuckle, heatherbell,jasmine, locu_t, lily, hie -everlasting, lotos blossom, lilac, Mayflower, mignonette, myrtle, mag- nolia blossom, nightshade, orange blossom, orchis, pansy, pink, passion flower, palm, primrose, poppy, rose, rexia, sumach, sweet clover, starmist, starflower, sunflower, snowbsli, tulip, violet, windflower. Near the little village of San Jose, Peru, on the bleak and barren shores of Lake Titicaca—the most elevated body of water of any considerable size in the world—are three large pillars of stone. If they were not of unequal height they would resemble gate posts or piers upon which at some time in the far past great arches had been erected. To the different tribes of Peru- vians they are known by words which signify "standing stones" and "tall stone goes." Upon the north side of each of these huge bowlders the rude features of a human face have been deeply carved, the other three sides of each being-ehiseled with de- signs of varioas shapes, kinds and sizes. These carved symbols are all supposed to have some reference to sun worship, which the ancient Peruvians are known to have practiced. Although the ancient inhab- itants of that country were highly civil- ized, and probably had many mechanical appliances, it is believed that they were unequal to the task of placing these gi- gantic monoliths in their present position. The evidence rather points to their having originally been wandering or erratic bowl- ders deposited by some melting glacier. The British Mission to Cabul. A special correspondent with Sir Mor- timer Durand's mission to Afghanistan tele- graphs from Jelalabad, via Lundi Kotal, as follows :—"Our reception here has exceeded our utmost expectations. After a hot march of 13 miles we find ourselves installed in a luxurious palace,which is situated in the midst of a beautiful garden, and has only recently been furnished for the Ameer's residence when he visits this city. The Governor of Jelalabad came out a toile to meet us with 15) local horsemen, and as Sir Mortimer Durand passed in front of the city a salute was fired. The garden sur- rounding our Palace. is very elegantly laid out, anu will be a very fine, one in a few years' time, when the trees are more stilly grown. There are in it many varieties both of fruits and of flowers which have been imported from India, and they are all doing well. The part of the garden nearest the city is situated within two hundred yards of the Cabul Gate, whence a metalled road, on each side of which cypress and fir trees have been planted, runs to the main en- trance. The Palace is a fine square build- ing, with a domed roof over a central room of noble dimensions. This is our general sitting and dining room. The side rooms are also lofty,with a fine look out on to the hills by which the valley is surrounded, and the fountains playing close by among the trees and bushes of the garden produce a delightfully cooling effect. The Ameer has not yet seen thia place, and when he does will be certainly charmed. There has been no falling off in the lavish hospi- tality accorded us. Sipah Saler is encamp- ed in an adjacent garden,and Sir Mortimer Durand and the officers of the Mission went this afternoon to call upon him. The formality which characterised the earlier meetings has now worn off, and in his man- ner Sipah Salar is very pleasant and charm- ing." A TERRIBLE TALE OF WOE. His Wife and Family Cremated He -Came to Toronto to Find a Sister, Only to Learn of filer Death. - A despatch from Toronto says: --Amongst those who applied to City Relief Officer Taylor for help yesterday was a German, who tells a story that reads like a dime novel. He states that he arrived in San Francisco an imigrant a few years ago. By hard work and harder saving he succeeded in getting together enough money.to buy a little home. Before he had a chance to invest his money he had his arm crushed and was sent to the hospital. While laid up there, a worthless brother of his wife applied to her for money. She refused him. Ode night he broke into the house, secured the money (they had no confidence in banks) and fired the house. The mother and two children were burned to death. When the father left the hospi- tal, a cripple, he found wife, children and money gone. He determined to return to Germany. The San Francisco authorities gave him a pass to New York. There the German Consul told him he could do nothing for him as he had been over two years in the country. The German Consul sent him to Toronto, where he saidhe had a sister living. When he arrived here Wednesday he found his sister had been dead twelve months. Mr. Taylor will send him i,o Buffalo, where the American authorities can deal with him, as he has never been a resident of Canada. A remarkable friendship exists between a bantam rooster and a cat in Washington Co., Penn. A favorite trick of the bantam is to get on pussy's back and crow. The cat appears not to mind it. - 4 BUILDING • HATERIAL. sIJCII AS Paints, Oils, Glass, Putty Wrought, Cut and Wire Nails, Spikes, Tools of all kinds, in great Pr3fusion at t �'f _ '• i -_ * ' t j�s ry s Fordwich Hardware =,; ,llama, full stock of all kinds of Hardware.
