Certain owners of property at Newport nay the divorce decrees and other scan dals and shadows have beyond a doubt affected and depreciated values, and in stances are given to confirm this asser tion. One of the most successful bill collec tors of Chicago makes many a difficult collection by pretending to be deaf, and making the delinquent yell his reason for not iaying at the top of liis voice, ho that it is heard by every one in the vicin ity. In a bundle of old paiers discovered in Portland, Me., is an extra issued by The Eastern Argus announcing the news of Gen. Jackson's victory at New Orleans. The victory was won on the 8th of Janu ary, 1815. This bulletin was issued on tlie 10th of February. It took a month for the news to reach Portland. V. J. Stillman. the art critic, says that John Uuskin's fir6t love was not Lady Millais, whom he married, but was a beautiful Irish girl, between whom und Mr. Ruskin there was an ardent attach ment, which led to an engagement, after ward broken oH by family influence, subsequent to which she died of con sumption. It made Raskin for a long time very unhappy, and probably pro duced a permanent effect on his life. For many years visitors in Aix-la-C handle were shown a great iron mass in the courtyard of the Polytechnikum as one of the curiosities of the city. It was believed to 1? an ancient and very re markable meteorite. A recent examina tion by Professor Arzruni, however, reveals the fact that it is merely slag, which had accumulated at the bottom of some primitive smelting furnace. It has puzzled thousands. Maybe some, woman can tell why it is. Railroad cars are lecoining common in which about one-half of the seats are on a line with a panel that holds a large and inviting looking glass. These seats are the last l lie occupied. The railroad men are sad in their disappointment. They had cal culated that the ladies would make 1 ins to to secure these places, leaving the window seats to the mules. A singular though most sensible peti tion has been addressed by a group of Vienna citizens to the municipal council. They propose that in order to procure permanent relief for pauper school chil dren there should bo a tax on bachelors. This tax would only be applied to un married men in a position to keep a family. The ietition says: "If all those who are exempted from military service on account of physical infirmity are obliged to pay a tax, why should those be spared who voluntarily sliirk other obli gations to the state?" A daughter of wealth changed hei name by a marriage in Europe from tliat of a well known New York family to that of an intricately spelled and almost unpronounceable foreign one. She found that in meeting acquaintances she had to go into an explanation of what her new name really looked and sounded like. So she had a self inking pocket rubber stamp made, with her name on it as or dinarily spelled, while right under the long word was a phonetic sjielling of it. Now, when asked who she is since wed lock, she whips out the stamp and im prints the information succinctly on any handy scrap of paper. Cigar Made Entirely of Paper. Smokers will be interested to know that not a thousand miles from Albany there is a lirm which makes large quan tities of paper for this avowed purpose. The plan of operation is said to be this: The pajier, on reaching the tobacco ware house, is repeatedly soaked in a strong decoction of the plant. It is then cut up and pressed in molds, which give to each sheet the imitation of the genuine leaf tolKicco. So close is the imitation that expert tobacco men and habitual smokers have been deceived At a recent gather ing in this city cigars made from thin paper tobacco were passed around and declared excellent. Many of those pres ent declared the cigars were made from rare brands, and so well was the imita tion carried out that one man actually insisted that there could be no mistake alx)ut the cigars being genuine tobacco. Albany Express. Hie Xew Testament in Calmuck. The Imperial Academy of Science haj recently completed the publication of a translation of the New Testament into the language of the Calmucks. This is the first attempt to made known to the Calmucks the text of the Christian gos jiels. The initiative is due to the British Bible society, by which the work of translation was confided to Professor Pozneieff, of the chair of Mongol and Calmuck literature in the University of St. Petersburg. Two hundred copies have been sent to Astrachan and sold to the converted Cal mucks of that province. The rest have been sent for distribution in Asia by Eu ropean missionaries. London Times. More Than One Mayflower. Mayflower was a common name for a ship in early days, and the one examined for the East India company in. 1600, and the other possessed by the company in IGoO, which is ltclieved to have subse quently foundered in the Day of Bengal, must both have been larger ships than the little craft of the Pilgrim Fathers. The Mayflower of 1000 must have, moreover, ceased to exist by 1620, and that of 1620, Jbng before 1659. Only sliips built of Indian teak could have kept the sea from 1C00 to 1G59 like those used by Phoeni cians at Tylos, which Theophrastus tells us had continued sailing for more than 00 Tears. The AtbetceuBX. . , Study of Folk Lore. Over 1 00 subscribers have already been sccunnl by the promoters of an American society for the study of folk lore, of w hich the pnneijjal object is to bo the es tablishment of a journal of a scientific character. At least 200 names will be necessary to secure publication. Some of the i::o-t distinguished names of the country appear among tlie signatures. The journal will le designed: (1) For the collection of the fast vanialung remains of folk lore in America, namely, (a) relics of old English folk lore (ballads, titles, superstitions, dialect, etc.); (b) lore of negroos in the southern states of the Union; (c) lore of th Indian tribes of North America (my t lis, tales, etc.); (d) lure of French Canada, Mexico, etc. (2) For the study of the general subject, and publication of the results of special stu dents in tills department.

Campbell had a yery painful accident befall him last evening. He was taking an armful of wood into the house when he slipped and fell. One of his feet struck a brick or some other hard substance in such a manner as to break one of the bones of the limb. Dr. Livingston dressed the wound, and Mr. Campbell will probably be confined to his home two weeks. Taken Up. A cow 7 years old, spotted red and white, has been taken up by me in Vail cry place.

A Charitable lioston I.atly Undertaking. Alvttiitugt of Sound Teeth. A few days ago, w hen out of town for a holiday, I saw a boy with refined and handsome features, and having altogether a very accurate and clever face, whose teeth were evidently in a bad way. I told the loy that he had letter have them at tended to. I reminded him that he was rather good looking at that age boys may be good looking without knowing it and tliat scarcely anything was so de structive of good looks as bad teeth; tliat he seemed clever, and that he might some day bo a rich or a great man, hut that $1,000,000, should ho ever possess such a sum, would not buy him a set of natural teeth. He said that his father was dead, and that his mother Lad kx,t her place in the factory, and that it w-us out of the question for him to think of going to a dentist. Tliat charitable Boston lady who estab lished a few 3-ears ago a fund to employ dentists to look after the teeth of the cluldren in the Boston public schools had pcrhaiis in view such a case as this. I do not know if that charity still flourishes. It struck me at the time sis a most sensi ble one. There is scarcely any money so well laid out as that fcpent ujkh the care of teeth. There are only thirty-two of them and they are very little things; but their presence is a great comfort and or nament, and their absence a great dis comfort and disliguremeut. A moderate carefulness about them in childhood :md youth will in moat cases insure a long possession of them. Americans have the name of having extremely bad teeth. It needs but little observation to d iscover that thev have not gained this repute unjustly. Being lately in the country (New Loudon), 1 heard there was to he a fair in the neigh borhood which would l.e largely attended. One always learns something by going to such places, and I went. I thought the faces of the people very intelligent Mid the features handsome; hut 1 noticed that many of them, particularly the women, seemed to have bad teeth: Perhaps cue reason why we have tlie host dentists in the world is that the national teeth are bad. In comparison with the immense ad vantage of having sound teeth, the ex pense of good dentistry Ls small. But there are many thousands to whom even that expense is impos: ille. Here is an opportunity for such charities as tliat of the kind hearted Boston lady. But I am not sure that a dental hospital in each of the great cities would not he a lieth r thing even than that. They have such an institution in linden. Sir James Paget, the first of English surgeons, has said that he considered tlie London Den tal hospital to le "the ljest institution of the kind in the world."' Certainly an in stitution which cares for the teeth of 40,000 poor people in the course of tlie year must be the cause of a great deal of comfort. It must educate these clussei to a sense of the importance of the mat ter. This kind of education is often necessary. I do not tliink, for instance, that so many American women would have such bad teeth if they had been taught what a great beauty sound teeth are. It seems to me that this London charity might le very well imitated in this country. Had there been such an institution in this city, what a boon it would have been to the clever and hand some boy of whom I spoke in the begin ning. John Arbuckle in N. . bun. MastodonH in Alaska. In conversation with D. II. Summers, formerly of Denver, Col., who came out this fall with a party of miners from Forty Mile Creek, we learned that the existence of living mastodons was not the mere fabrication of northern furriers, but that the Stick Indians had positively told him that such animals had been seen by them. One of the Indians said that while hunting one day in an unknown section he came across an immense track sunk to a depth of several inches iu moss. It much resembled an elephant's track, but was larger round than a barrel. The In dian followed up tins curious track, which to all appearances was very fresh, track ing from one immense stride to another, a distance of some miles, when he came in full view of his game. Tlie hunter gave one look, then turned and fled. These Indians as a rule are the bravest hunters. With no other weapon than their spear they will attack and kill a grizzly, but the immense proportions of tins new style of game filled the hunter, brave as ho was, with great fear. He described it as being larger than Port Trader Harper's store, with groat shining yellow tusks nd a mouth largo enough to swallow him at a single gulph. He said the animal was doubtless similar to those who furnislied the immense bones scattered over that section. If such animals are now in existence, and Mr. Summers has no reason to doubt the veracity of the Indian, as other Indians aud also Mr. Harper confirmed it, they inhabit a section very high in altitude, but rarely visited by human beings. We also have no reason to doubt the Indian tale, for at no very distant period Yukeon country was inhabited by these animals, as hundreds of their massive skeletons strewn along tlie creeks are silent but truthful witnesses. On Forty Mile Creek bones can be found projecting partly from the sand, and among the driftwood of the stream cn the creek below this these skeletons arc also quite numerous. uneau 1 ree Press. itlcmionlsm ia Switzerland. The report of the government of the canton of Berne, Switzerland, to tlie department cf justice and police of the Swiss central government regarding Mor monism maintains that it would be use less to take half measures, the expulsion of all the Mormons from Switzerland being the only means that couldjpossibly prove effective. Tlie bundesrath (fed eral council) adopted that view and ap pointed a commission to inquire into the proceedings of tha Mormons in all the cantons where there are any of the sect. It is asserted that the Mormons prefer to get hold of little children to take to Utah and there educate for their puriose. -Foreign Letter. Tries to Look IJonest.
