NE of the oddest - characters In Ann Arbor, Mich., Is Norman H. Covert. Mr. Covert has re nounced the doc trines believed in by most of his countrymen and become a pro nounced disciple of Brahma. He was brought up a Quaker, his parents be longing to that religious body, but at the age of 14 became dissatisfied with the precepts of the friends and “evo luted," as he says, to the Methodist church. From a Methodist, he became a unl versallst of the type of John Murray of Boston. As a member of this church he came to Ann Arbor In 1S44. Relig ious principles still troubled him. He could not reconcile himself to the Idea of the redemption. He was looking for a religion In which Justice was the guiding principle. He began reading the doctrines on which Brahmanism Is founded, and became a convert to Brahma and has since continued to be a follower of his. He believes In a greater and a lesser heaven, the latter being here on earth at the present time If one lives well. Of eourse, he Is a firm believer In the transmigration of souls, but he expects ^ to have his own soul appear In some higher form of being than a dog or a hors. He thinks that dogs have more soul than some people he has met. Con'rary to the law of Brahma. Mr. Cov irt allows himself to eat meat. As far *s he knows, he Is the only Amerl NORMAN B.

The system of pneumatic mail-tube* for which Mayor Strong broke ground on Auguut 2, promises to bring about a V notable quickening In the distribution of letters in Greater New York. Tubes are to connect the postofllces of New York and Brooklyn, and others, as planned at present, are to radiate from the New York pcstoffice to all parts of Manhattan Island. The lines that are first to he finished, and which may he done some time in October, will con nect the postoffice with the Battery on one side, and wilh the Forty-second street station on the other. There is no considerable part of Man • liattan Island to which the summer and fall will not bring considerable change?. The mall-tubes arc nn item of an unusually long list of improve ments -hat are either in progress or Impending. Before November Fifth avenue will have been repaved, and posidbly the demolition of the old re servoir will have begun; the great As toria Hotel will bo finished; the new Sherry's and the Delmonico's will be far along towaru completion; Ur.

But he was careful to avoid giving even a hint as to the mean* by which he could effect this Improvement. Spina, however, discov ered the secret, and proclaimed It to the world. He did not attempt to keep the power he had discovered and use It for hlj own advantage exclusively. He generously made It common to all. Even If It he granted that Salvlno's discovery preceded that of Spina a few years In point of time, It does not In the least reduce the latter's claim to the gratitude of mankind, nor alter the fact that the world that great por tion, at least, afflicted with defcclve vision—Is Indebted to Sfdna for speeta dcs. Itound Towers of Scotia oil. Though Ireland possesses seventy six round tower* the puzzle of the antiquary- Scotland has only two, these of Abernathy and Brechin. When the Scotch towers were built Scotland had not yet become one kingdom -It was still divided Into four. Alban, Plot land, and Caledonia were all more fa miliar names. In the north were Piets anil Scots. From Ireland, then called Scotia, had crossed a colony, who set tled In Argyleshlre In the fifth century. Fergus, their first prince, came In the fifth century. But In the ninth cen tury the colony from Scotia gained pre dominance; and the feuds and dissen sions were, never ending until. In N4H Kenneth II. the Great became king ol the kingdom of Piets and Scots, He It was who married the daughter of the Lord of the Isle*, and, In thank* for his great victory, sent the sword and goat of armor of the Plcttih king to Iona, "In perpetual memorle." He, too, brought the "fatal! chargre," Lla Fall, or Stone of Destiny, from Dunstaff nage to Scone, whence It was carried by Edward I, to Westminster, and placed In the coronation chair. A 4 mm ii in i*t I on Care* That consumption can be cured Is the hopo once more held out by Prof. Robert Koch, a German scientist whose name was on every tongue seven years ago. Koch * "tuberculin," which was, then tested, with unfavorable results, was a preparation of the bacilli of tu berculosis. The present treatment also consists of hypodermic injections of these bacilli, but with this difference that the bacilli have been broken up by mechanical means In order to facili tate their absorption. Doctor Koch docs not promise that the new tubercu lin will be useful when the malady has reached an advanced stage. He does affirm that, "a large number of suitable patients" have been cured by It, It 1* noticeable that European scientist* treat this claim with great respect -a certain Indication that, In heir view Doctor Koch's twenty years' study ol tuberculosis may at any time be crowned with full success, Pcccoah* The real home of the peacock or pea fowl is in India. There they were and are hunted, and their flesh Is used for food. As these birds live In the same region as the tiger, peacock hunting Is a very dangerous sport. The long train of the peacock Is not its tailgas many suppose, but la composed of feathers which grow out Just above the tall, and are called the tall-coverts. Peacocks have been known for many hundred years. They are mentioned in the bl ble; Job mentions them, and they are mentioned, too, In I Kings, 10. Hun dreds of years ago in Rome many thousand peacocks were killed for the great feasts which the emperors made. The brains of the peacock were con sidered a great treat, und many had to be killed for a single feast. Hrw Mattie of Lincoln. This statue, the work of Slg. C.

THE NEW MINISTER TO THE UNITED STATES. % Young MiNtMiimn Who l« Already m Tower In Hl« Country** (iovorninrnt HU Career In YYur mid Tolltlr* In ’III Native land. IIKItH have b"en two Important ad ditions to the dip lomat ir corps from Houtb America this summer, and for the first time in many years both Peru and Bolivia are represented by ministers resident at this capital. I.uls Paz, the new envoy from Bolivia, who presented his credentials only a day tr two before the president left Washing ton, making at the time a most felici tous speech. Is the last to arrive. Ills credentials having been presented,there are no official duties that demand the minister's Immediate attention. lie has planned, therefore, to leave Wash ington soon, and will visit some of the eastern resorts. The first representa tive accredlaed from Bolivia was l.a dlsloa Cabrera, who served from No vember, 1880, until December, 1882. After Mr. Cabrera's recall there was an Interval of nearly four years during which lime, and at all subsequent times when there has been no minister resident here from that country, all diplomatic business was conducted by the state department directly with the secretary of foreign affairs at Sucre. It vgns the hope of Interesting capital and stimulating Immigration and the desire to study the railroad systems of this country, which the chief executive of Bolivia, President Alonzo, considers the finest In the world, that Inspired Mr, Paz to resign his seat In the senate and relinquish the leadership of n great political party to accept the post of 8KN0R LU18 I’AZ. minister to the United States. In con versation the other day the Bolivian minister, who. by the way. speaks no English yet, said: "I see Just now that your people are m»ieh excited over the discovery of gold in the Klondike re gion. We have more gold in Bolivia than they have In Klondike, and you don’t have to freeze or starve to death In our country. There Is not a stream In all Bolivia where gold cannot be washed out. With modern machinery there are vast quantities of the priclous metal to be had. It Is to interest capi talists here in our gold possibilities that I came. One of the greatest op portunities Bolivia offers to men of small means is the development of the rubber and cocoa industry. Many come among us to mine gold, and when they see the chances offered by the rubber fields they never go near the mines, but at once engage In the rubber busi ness. Since the passage of our recent laws, any person can stake out a grove of rubber trees and it belongs to him.” The new minister Is a young man. having been born In Earija some for ty-three years ago. He was brought up and educated ut sucre, the capital of Bolivia, and received from the unlveralty there, of whoae faculty he la now a member, the degree of doctor of law*.

A FAMOUS PISTOL. Um Mnt Owner ForroiH Frederick the (treat From Bohemia. ('apt. Win, p. Hogarty, of Kansas City. Kan., has In his possession sn old dueling pistol which was originally owned by Josef Marla Graf von Dann, who was rommander-ln-chlef of the Austrian army during the Seven Years' War, and one of Austria's greatest he roes. The pistol Is In an excellent state of preservation, although It has been little used since Its owner. In 1757, drove Frederick he Great from Prague and foiced him to evacuate Bohemia. Josef had two of these pistols, ar.il after his death one passed to each branch of his family. William Theo dore Marla von Dann. a grandson, who was banished from Austria In DM* brought one of them lo America, and before his death at Qulndaro, a few years ago, he gave It to (’apt. Hogarty. It Is Inlaid with gold and silver, and artistically carved. ('apt. Hogarty prizes It very highly. He Is himself something of a military hero having been decorated by congress for his distinguished bravery In the battles ol Antletam and Fredericksburg hence It Is a pleasure to him to own a pistol which was carried by such s great military character as Josef Marla (Jn.l von Dann.
