From the 8an Francisco Chronicle. The recent explorations on the Island of San Clemente, which is due west from Del Mar, this county, but 60 miles, has aroused interest in the history of the other islands of the coast. Afew months ago an aged Indian from San Diego county, who had moved to the rancheria in the San Gabriel valley, stated that he recol- lected the tribe that lived on San Clemente. They were fair-skinned and had light hair, and spoke a strange language. After the mission fathers brought them to the mainland they pined and died, and none of their descendants have survived. Their hurried and forced de- parture, he thinks, accounts for the evidences of hasty flight, where household utensils and belongings were found scattered about in the valley as recently described. An exchange has been looking up the records relating to the Sante Barbar islands. It appears that in the early part of the present century they were also inhabited by Indians of comparative white complexions who spoke a peculiar language. They were supposed to be DESCENDANTS OF THE AZTEC RACE of historic fame. There is no record of how these people came to be upon the islands or when they first settled there. but it is probable that the islands were inhabited by them before the founding of the Californian missions by the Franciscan friars. Otter, seal, foxes, and fishes were to be found in abundance on the islands and in the adjacent waters, and upon these the natives subsisted, using the flesh for food, the skins for clothing and tents, and the bones for making hunting implements. Ac- cording to tradition, Indians from the Alaskan islands frequently made trips to the Santa Barbara islands for the purpose of hunting. During one of these visits the Alaskans fell upon the natives, killing all the males, and after hunting for some time they left for the north, crest ferike the women to their fate. The Mission Fathers, learning of the fate of the women, determined to have them removed to the mainland and for this purpose engaged aschooner. Upon arriving at the island of San Nicholas the men proceeded to remove the women and such few personal effects as they had te the boat. A LONE WOMAN ON THE ISLAND. When this had been accomplished and all were ready for embarking, one of the women made a sign that she had forgotten her child and started back after it. While she was gone @ severe wind sprang up. which soon increased toa gale, and compelled the little schooner to put to seu for safety. As the wind kept up for several days, the captain ran into San Pedro, intending to return for the woman who had + been left. At San Pedro the Indians were dis- embarked and taken to the mission at Los An- geles and San Gabreil, where they were cared for. From San Pedro the schooner sailed to Santa Barbara, and trom there to Monterey, where she had been ordered. Thus was the oor woman left upon a bleak island, out in the broad expanse of the great Pacific, with no com- panions save the wild wolf and the Indian dog, with which the island was infested. The news of the woman having been left behind spread rapidly, but no further effort was made to res- cue her. ‘The natural supposition was that she had perished, and in the course of a few years the subject had passed from the minds of the people. In 1851, just fifteen years later, a hunter named Nidevar and a couple of com- panions visited the Island of San were astonished to find indications which led them to believe THE WOMAN WLS STILL ALIVE. Foot-prints which had been made in the pre- vious rainy season were to be seen in the now dry and hard soil, and from the size and gen- eral appearance the hunters concluded they had been made by a woman. Some small, cir- cular inclosures made of brush were also dis- covered. and in them some dried seal’s blub- ber. Further than this the huts gave no in- dication of having been inhabited for some time. A strong wind arising the party put to sea without making any further discoveries, The next winter. 1852, Nidever again visited the island, and upon arriving immediately landed and searched for fresh signs of the woman. The huts discovered on the first tri were unchanged. but the seal blubber seemed to have been replenished by a fresh lot. Some wild dogs were found in the vicinity, and the hunters thought it likely the woman had fallen a prey to these beasts, as they were quite fero- c1ous. RESCUED. In 1853 the same party planned another expedition for the purpose of hunting and making one more attempt to settle the question as to whether the woman was still alive. They searched about the nd for some time, and were despairing of success when one who had become separated from the rest discovered an object some distance away, and upon approac directed them to approach from different di- rections in order to prevent ker escape should she be #o disposed. ‘The men succeeded in get- ting quite ciose to her before they were discovered. Instead of — showing signs of alarm as they had ex- pected, the woman appeared quite pleased to see them, and received them with a smile which indicated that she was not in the least afraid. The hunters assisted her to remove such articles of clothing and food to the boat as she was not disposed to leave behind. In the course of a few days she had become at home in the boat, and helped in whatever way she could in the work aboard. After a month's hunting the pat ailed for Santa Barbara, head at Brighton beach has been demolished by the action of the waves. coo The Microbe of Malaria. From the London Lancet. At a recent meeting of the Academy of Sciences Professor Bouchard presented. in the name of Professor Laveran, of Val de Grace, a memoir on the parasite of impaludism. The parasite brought to notice by the author in 1879 is considered as being incontestably that which produces intermittent fever. Every- where where cases of fever were examined the same organism was found, and that not only in France, but also in Germany, in Italy, in Kussia, in Algiers, in Madagascar, &c. M. Bouchard, therefore, considers it as demon- strated that intermittent fever is due to the parasite discovered by Dr. Laveran. —— se Accusing the Rothschilds. & FRENCH DEPUTY CHARGES THEM WITH cats- ING THE COPPER CKISIS IN ORDER TO INJURE FEANCE. A spirited debate on the copper-syndicate crisis took place in the French chamber of dep- uties yesterday. M. Laur demanded that the penal-code provision against monopolies be enforced. He accused the Rothschilds of caus- ing the crisis and of leading au international plot against the French market, and urged the necessity of an inquiry into the crisis. M. Roavier, minister of finance, ridiculed M. Laur’s speech as a romance beneath the dig- nity of a serious assembly. The allegation against the Rothschilds, he said, was unde- served, and its refutation could be left to the public's good sense. The Comptoir d’Escompte would have suspended but for the assistance rendered it. The Comptoir dEscompte de- served the government's solicitude. If any Joss occurred in counection with the first loan it would be borne by the capitalists, and not by the Bank of France. The second advance would be made by the Bank of France and fifty capitalists. The Comptoir d'Escompte’s doors, therefore, would not be closed. The Bank of France's action was entirely free, and the na- tion’s thanks were due to it and to «!l whose aid had helped to avert a disaster, the extent ef which it would be impossible to measure. M. Thevenet, minister of justice, informed M. Laur that the |. against mono ha not been repealed, but that it was prove charges of monopolies. M. Laur withdrew his motion for the en- forcement of the monopoly law, and M. Thom- son moved an order of the day declaring that the government would take the necessary steps to ascertain who were responsible for the crisis and to make the law respected. M. Thomson's motion was accepted by the —— and = adopted by the chamber by a vote of 339 to 312. ‘ult to a re Witt Pray Caxss ron Two Montus.—The entries for the inter: nal chess tournament, which begins in New York next Monday, closed Thursday.

ANOTHER OF THE INTERESTING REVELATIONS FROM THE WORLD OF INSECTS. From the Naturalist. Inthe last number of the journal of the Bombay Natural History society, Mr. Lionel de Niceville describes the manner in which the larve of aspecies of butterfly are cultivated and protected by the large, common black ants of Indian gardens and houses. Asa rule. ants are the most deadly and inveterate enemies of butterflies and rathlessly destroy and eat them | whenever they get a chance, but in the present case the larve exude asweet liquid of some sort, of which the ants arc inordinately fond, and which they obtain by stroking the larve gently with their antenne. Hence the great care which is taken of them, The larve feed on asmall thorny bash of the jungle, and at the foot of this the ants construct a temporary nest. About the middle of June. just before the rains set in, great activity is observable on the tree. The ants are busy all day running along the branches and leaves in search of the larvx, and guiding and driving them down the stem of the tree towards the nest. Each prisoner is guarded until he is got safely into his place, when he falls intoa doze and undergoes his transformation into a pupae. If the loose earth at the foot of the tree is scraped away hun- dreds of larva and pupw in all stages of devel- opment, arranged in a broad, even band all round the trunk, will be seen, When the but- tertly is ready to emerge, in about a week, it is tenderly assisted to disengage itself from its shell, and, should itbe strong and healthy, is left undisturbed to spread its winzs and’ #3 away.

Sufferi which Men of Genius Have Had to Endure Before Their Triumph. Archdeacon Farrar has written an interesting article in the Youth's Companion in which he says: There is no art and no science which has not had its martyrs. The early days of many— perhaps of the majority—of those who have attained to eminence among ‘the masters of those who know,” have been days not only of toil, but also of struggle and effort and painful trial. Musicians have furnished but few ex- ceptions to the general rule. If it is true of the poets that “They learnt in suffering what they tanght in song; if the great god Pan hacks and slices the ex- quisite reeds of the river out of which he makes his melodious instraments—the musicians have been partners in the same destiny. “My music,” said Schubert, “is the product of my genius and my misery; that which I have written in my deepest afftiction the world seems to like best. There have, indeed, been exceptions. Sev- eral of our English musicians—Tallis, Purcell, Wesley, Bishop, Sterndale, Bennett—were fairly prosperous and happy men; and among the Germans, Handel, 2 ears and Mendelssohn had no very severe and overwhelming combats with misfortune. Handel met with the most triumphant success; Mozart even as an infant was regarded as a prodigy; on the beautiful soul of Mendelssohn life seemed to smile with radiance from the very first. . These men knew little or nothing of the dis- tress, poverty, ill-health, neglect, disappoint- ment, perfidy, blindness, madness and deafness which afflicted the early and later life of Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and others, Handel, indeed, became blind, but only in 1752. He died on April 14, 1759. It is a good thing that in the works of the great mu- sicians the world can hear the notes struck out of the chords of life by the soft touch of hap- piness, as well ag by “the mighty pleetram of isappointment.” The instances of struggle on which I shall touch are mainly exhibited in the lives of Ger- mans. If the most consummate art of Greece appeared in her sculpture, of Italy in her paint- ing. of England in her drama—Germany has the glory of having produced the greatest of all musicians, First, however, I shall take the example of a great Italian. Palestrina represents the culmination of that style of music which prevailed in the four- teenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries, and is known as Polyphonic. Tne musicians of that epoch wrote for voices alone, or all but alone; whereas the great composers of the eighteenth century composed for instruments alone, and for voices supported and acconipanied by in- struments, The polyphonic style first spread over Europe from Flanders, where it was originated by Guil- laume Dufay, who died in 1420, and was asinger in the papal choir, Arcadelt, who, in 1539, was master of the boys in the choir of St. Peter's, at Rome, was eminent in this style, but Palestrma was its greatest master. After giving graphic sketches of the struggles of Palestrina, Bach, Handel, Haydn, Schubert and Schumann, in which the sufferings of each from pecuniary distress are set forth as well as the influence of their genius upon the music of their time. the author concludes as follows: These are but some instances-of the struggles of musicians. It may be said that their difti- culties were, in some instances, due to them as capri- life of such irregularity as would have sufliced to injure the most robust constitution, and that Schumann yielded to a morbid hypertension of emotions and had “an ingenuity in clinging to unhappy idees.” No doubt this is true. and it is true also that struggle, in some form or other, is the lot of | most who are born into the world, But men who have been gifted with exceptional genius are liable to special trials and temptations, and those who have received but one talent may find some consolation in the truth so touch- ingly expressed by George Eliot, that: “We can only have the highest happiness, such es goes along with being a great man, by having wide thoughts, and much feeling for the rest of the world as well as ourselves; and this sort of happiness often brings so much pain with it that we can only tell it from pain by its being what we should choose before everything else, because our souls see it is good.” Ee Sas AS eet ry A Railroad Official an Embezzler.

She was Sweet Seventeen, and Knew Much About Mining. From the San Francisco Examiner. “Arizona has the only girl mining expert in the world,” said Col. John Hall, of Tucson, to an Examiner representative last night at the Baldwin. ‘For years she has foliowed up all the new camps and passed judgment on mines, and usually engaged in some kind of business in them, as well as staked out and developed claims for herself. Her name is Nellie Cash- man. and she is known throughout all the min- ing towns of Arizona. Just now she is making a pull for the Harqua Hala mines. She has just been here and bought restaurant outfit for the new camp, and, while her employes set out bacon and beans to the flannel-shirt miners at $1a piece. she will make her location and begin mining as usual. “Miss Cashmen went south on the Southern Pacific yesterday. She is a wonderfully plucky girl, It is about nine years now since she first came to Tucson. She was from Dodge City, Kan., and could not have been more than sev- enteen years old. She got to examining the ore as it came out of the Tucson mines. and was soon as good a judge of its value as her brother Jim, who worked in one of them. The boys pretty soon began betting on her judg- ment, more in fun than anything else, but what was their surprise to find that she was a wonderfully good guesser, and hit it close about every time. Her fame spread, and miners, always superstitious, got an idea that to have her around and get her good opinion some way brought luck. She knew where to dig for ore, too, and some of the ore in the Contention was found by following her advice in running a drift. Over in Graham county she made a hit one day on copper,néid when she went to Tombstone afterward as her judgment on some mines there. gins sold the Excelsior and Grand View mines on her advice, and the only dividend they ever yielded was the 215,000 he got from ‘them, | Other mines were bought after she had ex- amined and reported favorably on them, They are good-paying properties now, “In Tucson.

She is as adventurous in pushing forward to'a new region as any nomadic miner. No sooner d she hear of a new camp than she starts for it.

Zonas Madden, of Berlin, in Detroit Journal. I find that it is no longer necessary to go dig- ging in the musty catacombs for Rameses or any of his contemporaries. We can have them made to order by two very clever Arabs, who will furnish kings, queens, and princes at very reasonable figures. I have had the distin- guished honor of being present while this man- ufacture astonished my eyes. A dead man was brought into the shop at Gournah, on the Nile. I think the Arabs paid three shillings for him, or in the native’ moncy what three shillings would represent. The body was put ona slab and the entrails were removed. The braii drawn through the nostrils in precisely same manner as Herodotus describes the em- balming process in his Euterpe. After that the corpse was thrown rudely into a large vat of brine. After remaining there for a period of fifteen days it was removed and hung by the heels from a rafter. A small brazier was put under the head and tilled with some sort of sweet-smelling wood and fired. After this all the doors were closed and the corpse was smoked like a ham, In ten hours this operation was completed, and I beheld a most remarkable change. The body had turned almost black. It was shrunken ,fully one-third, The features were pinched just like those ofamummy, an@it bore the appearance of great age. Some aromatic drugs, the nature of which I did not learn, were then prepared, and the corpse was filled with them, and by the same process that the brains were removed the skull was filled with a gummy substance smelling like sandal wood. A mummy case made the day before, but look- ing ready to fall apart from very age, was pro- duced and the corpse of the peasant, previously painted and gilded, was put in it, and along scroll of parchment was prepared by one of the ng a history of the dead man’s deeds sometime during the reign of Thotmes, about 1450 B. C., when, in fact, he was a few a sping out his last breath on the burning sands near Gournah. The body I saw prepared sold, I think, for £40 to the Academy des Sciences in Paris. The Modera Old Maid. From the New York Sun, ‘The woman of sixty who says that she never loved any man enough to marry him is, doubt- less, of the opinion that maidenhood is a suc: cess, and the married man or woman with a large family of children, to whom the unmar- ried aunt is devoted through the measles, sear- let fever, and whooping cough, undoubtedly advocates maidenhood as a glorious institution, not even second to thut of marriage. And this is not lookipg at it selfishly. Oh, no! She has no childreffof her own, and she is supposed to be only too glad to be allowed the privilege of devoting herself to the children of some other 1'T. W. Higginson, in one of his essays, plea for maiden aunts and insists that y can exist without at least one, though he intimates that it is sometimes rather hard on the maidens themselves, But the old- fashioned maiden aunt has died out, or rather she has evolved into a very different woman. She is still a maiden, but not an “old maid” in the offensive sense of that term; in fact, there are few ‘old maids” nowadays, There are a great many unmarried women who are hand- some and charming, stylishly dressed, accom- plished and agreeable in every way. Their age? Well, really, that isa question that no one thinks of asking; a woman is generally sup- posed to be as old as she jooks, and none of these women look old. They have not the looks nor the conversation of schoolgirls, it is true; they have traveled, they have read; they” can converse intelligently and often brilliantly on almost every topic and are altogether charming. Compare these women with the old maids of eneration ago. Whodves not prefer astylish coiffure to lank, corkscrew curls and a scant bob of hair on the back of the head? A fash- ionable costume to antiquated garments? A cordial manner to the old-time stiffness and primness? And lively conversation to the eternal discussion of the new minister and his wife, the best cure for rheumatism and sore throgt and similar domestic topics? Who does not believe in eleanpe remembering what maiden aunts were a owing what they are? Gerome on Modern Art. From the Century. You ask me about my method of teaching. It is very simple, but this simplicity is the re- sult of long experience. The question is to lead young people into a straightforward, true path; provide them with a compass which will keep them from going astray; to habituate them to love nature (the true) and_to regard it with an eye at once intelligent, delicate and firm, being mindful of the plastic side. Some know how to copy a thing and will produce it almost ex- actly; others put into it poetry, charm, power and make it a work of art. Tie first are work- men, the second are artists, Au abyss separates the mason from the architect. To-day, in this of the moral and intellectual diforder, ere seems to be asovereign contempt for those who seck to elevate themselves, to move the spectator, to have some imagination; for those who are not content -to remain fe’ D.C.
