EXCITED OVER THE WAR NEWS.

Mr. White, a Detroiter of middle age,

visited the Free Press office, to find a war

map, and to have a chat about the Euro- pean situation, and it wasn t ten minutes nefore his enthusiasm was up to the boil- ing point. a

“It will be worth thousands ard mi'tions and billions of dollars to this a] shouted, as he broke through one of the office chairs.

**Yes, it will,” somebody remarked. :

‘Tt will stiffen wages, bring out capital, make money plenty, and just set us all to whooping!” he whooped, as he scratched the leg wounded at the first Bull Ran.

Somebody remarked tuat it probably would.

faking five newspaper War-maps under one arm, and a copy of the London Times under the other, Mr. White left the office, and proceeded directly homeward, feeling inore patriotic every moment.

“O! we're going to lay’em right out, Nanvey,” he said, as he dropped his hat in the hall.

‘Pid you order the flour?” she asked, in a careless tone.

“Flour! What do I care about flour? The Russians have got Kars and half ol the Turkish army!”

‘Have, eh? hanger will be here in the morning. didn't think to see about —”

“Right here is Kars, and right here is where the Turks got mauled?” he ex- claimed, as he kneit on the floor and traced one of the maps.

“Did, eh? Say, John, can’t you rake off the lawn this morning, and did you see about the whitewashing?”

“Will you talk about whitewashing when ail Europe convulsed with war?’ he flercely demanded, as he shook the other four maps at her.

‘-[—I a like those onion beds marked out io-day,” she replied, as she hunted through the work-basket for a button with an eye to il.

“Qnion beds marked out, when this very copy of the London Times editorially pre- dicts that a million armed men will be rush- ing at each other's throats in Jess than sixty days!”

she found the button, and he unrolled the balance of his maps. ‘There was a dead silence until his finger rested on the City ot Erzeroum, when he shouted:

‘Here she is! Right around here is where they are making the Turks how! for sugar!”

“iby the way, John,” she sofuly remarked, as she looked up, “don’t you think that summer kitchen will have to be reshingled this spring?”

ile girl who does general housework says he tore the five war-maps into five hnndred pieces, and banged the London dimes against the wall with ao awful thump, as Le jumped out doors, but girls are some- times prjudiced. Mr. White wasin the corner grocery at half-past eleven, saying to the proprietor:

‘* Don't it make your blood jump as you read of the European situation?”

And the proprietor raised the cheese- knite on the edge of the counter to clean it, and replied:

“Seems like I shall haf to kill doze boys who cul soap mit dis knife.”

How can you expect any body but a war- rior to feel as warriors do?

ANECDOTE OF WEBSTER.

A writer in the Woonsocket Patriot says that Webster, when a boy. was lazy in every sport or work that required physical exertion He tells this anecdote of the statesman’s beyhood:

Among the boys attending school with him was ove by the name of Fifield, to whom the study of arithmetic was a sore trouble, and he was frequently applying to Daniel to help him out. Daniel, in the «enerosity of his nature, furnished the re- quired help fora while, but at length began 9 demur, upon the ground that he was getting no sort of equivalent for such im- portant services. Accordiagly, he told Fi- ileld that if he was going to pull him through his arithmetic, he (Fifield) must pull his (Daniei's) sled up hill for the rest of the term. ‘lo this Fiticid readily agreed, and there, all through the season, whenever the boys were coasting, the future statesman had Fifield at hand to draw his sled up hill, tothe great amusement of all the other boys, and indeed the whole neighborhood.

A RICH GOLD MINE IN GEORGIA.

The sensation of the week was on Wed- nesday afternoon, when a blast in the lower level leading from the bottom of the shaft towards the old * Findley Vein” revealed one of the richest “leads’’ yet found in that already famous property. It is running parallel tu the old vein, but some ten feet from it, andin an entirely different forma- tion, being a hard blue hornblend rock, streaked with white quartz, which is thread- ed with webs of gold. Some of the speci- mens shown us are the finest ever seen here. Ina addition to the gold, the rock carries what experts here say is tellurium. which, if it be so, adds greatly to the value of the ‘‘tind,” for telluride ores are the rich- est kaown. It will be tested at once, and the level driven through te the point where the ‘old vein” is thought to be quietiy waiting to reveal its treasures. Should this prove true, with two such rich veins lying so near together, we shall congratulate the owners of the southern bananza on their ood fortune, and repeat what we have so often said before, that all our State needs is ehergy and capical to demonstrate it to he one of the richest gold regions in Amer ica.— Dahlonega (Ga.) Sentinel.

KILLING BEARS,

The Esquimaux have a most curious and ingenious way of killing bears. They sharpen the ends of a piece of whalebone, a loot or more long, then bene it double, and wrap it closely in fat meat, which is exposed to the air till it freezes, These treacherous pellets are thrown to the bear, whieh bolts them whole. They thaw in his stomach, the bent whalebone straightens, aad the sharp points pierce bis vitals when- ever he attempts to move.

A little four year old boy, who had been taught his letters at home, and felt his im- portance, on going to school was called up by the teacher, who asked: ‘Can you read, my boy?’ The little fellow stood amazed for a moment at the (to him) impertinence of the question, end then exclaimed: “ Hain’t you got cheek?”

The rapaid and emphatic recital of the fols lowing is said to be an infalliable cure for lisping: Hobbs meets Snobbs and Nobbs. Hobbs bobs to Snobbs and Nobbs; Hobbs nobs with Snobbs and robs Nobb’s fobs. ‘That is,” says Nobbs, ‘the worst for Hobob's job,” and Snobb’s sobs.

A Burning Jstanp.—Some thirty-five years ago there appeared in the Mediterranean Sea little Island thrown up by volcanic ac- tion ; it was, in fact,a crater,from which steam and cinders were issuing to the height of several hundred feet. ‘he spectacle was a very grand one as witnessed by seamen, the eruption being accompanied by a loud, roar- ing noise, and discharges of forked lightning within the ascending column of bot steam and cinders. About four months after this ihe spot was Visited by a British frigate, having ov board Walter Scott, who was on nis way to Malta in search of health. The volcanic action had so far ceased that he was able to land and examine this little depend- ency of great Britain, and, having an inter- estin anything out of the common course, he decided to do so. Mounted upon the shoulders of a ~tout sailor he rode aimost to ihe top of the island, where he found two jolpluns and arobin aii dead, no doubt trom ihe not temperature. Onone side steam was bubbling from the grouad, which spread itself all around the base of the island, sur- rounding itas witna cloak. The atmosphere, strongly impregnated with brimstone, was al- most suffocating, and if a hole was dug in ihe ground, it was atonce lilledjwith boiling water. Shortly afterward the island dis- appeared as suddenly as it sprang into ex- istence—in a night.
