Report comes from Auckland that the Island of Nareauti, in the Pacific ocean, was the scene of a battle in which about 20 natives were lost. A false alarm of fire in the Royal theatre at Montreal, at a matinee, caused a panic. Women fainted and were trampled on and several badly bruised. The people of Eau Claire, Wiscon sin, are trying to collect SI,000 as a gift to John Sverdrup, the untiring leader of the liberal party in Norway. One man has subscribed S250. The explosion at the London rail way station was caused by dynamite, and the accepted theory was that it exploded accidentally having been left in the cloak room. At Sun Prairie, Wis., Lena Sptight, a girl of 15 years, was raped by two young men: Last reports indicated the probability of a lynching party. The Northern Pacific , lias issued a new rate shpet giving reduced rates of fare to ali points on its own line, and lines of western connections. According to the Riilro.td G izette, 155 miles of new road track have been laid during the present yiar. During Hie same time last year 158 miles were aid, and during 1882, 419 miles. Near Elizabethtown, Ky., a negro named Miles Petty outraged a respec table young lady named Cora Van nort. He was saved from lynching only by being hurried away to Louis ville jail. Great excitement prevails at the vil lage of Eagle, yi Waukesha county, Wis., over the alleged discovery of a valuable diamond find. A woman found a stone a few days ago and sold it to Boynton, the Milwaukee jeweler, for SI. It turns out to be an S800, 1G karat pure water diamond. Land is being sold at fabulous pri ces. Nelson Hinman, of New Haven, Conn., aged 62, a farmer of penurious habits and a man very unpopular with his neigh hors, died a few days ago, and by his death the family skeleton was revelled. Just before the coffin lid was nailed down Mrs. Hinman was released from a room in the upper part of the house and permitted to gaze, on her husband's face. It was the first time she had been permitted to leave the room for more than thirty years. In 1854 she became slightly insane, and her husband built a prison up stairs into which he pnt the unhap py woman, and in which she lived, looking at life only through iron bars until his death released her. A great sensation was caused when these facts became known to-day. The Utah papers record a remarka ble illustration of Mormon tiiergy and perseverance. Being about toes tahlisli an important manufacturing business at Iron City, they wanted a railroad to connect the furnaces and the coal and iron mines. So they went to Nevada, and finding the Pioche and Bullionville railroad for sale cheap, they bought it. But a rail road is an awkward thing to move. The rails and sleepers might up and hauled in wagons be torn but cars locomotives cannot be so well trans ported in that way. Accordingly the Mormons have decided that a reil road must move itself. They will tear up the rails at the further end of the track and relay them on the end nearest Iron City. By continuing tliis process they expect in time to walk the road out of Nevada into Utah, where they want it. Booming Montana. I. W. Barnum, who visited the Yellowstone Park last summer, lec hired in Brooklyn on the sunject in aid of a church enterprise. The lec ture on the Park contained no new features, but in conclusion he de scribed Montana, where, he said, the cattle were the sleekest in the world, notwithstanding the. withered appear ance of the grass. He gave a detailed history of the large finds of gold and silver in the Big Horn country, and the Coeur d'Alene finds, near Port land, Oregon, and said emphatically that he believed '•Th* Lost Cabin" lode had really been found by Jack Nye, who was now on his way hack to it with his followers. He advised persons not to attempt to go to the mines until spring, as provisions were so dear that great suffering must re sult. KOKasrana is is a it HIGH-PRICED CIGARS. cigars at a dollar The Weeds That Brins; Fancy Prices, and the Men Who Buy Them. * [New York SunJ A young man with neatly brushed hair and a light-blue necktie stood be hind a cigar stand in a fashionable and well-known cafe up town the other day. It was very dull, as the Wallstreet men had not begun to drop in on their way home, and the loungers had wandered out on Broadway. In the case were cigars of every variety, from the ordi nary 10-cent kind to wicked and pow erful looking things ten inches long. "The law compels us to sell the cigars out of the boxes just as wo buy them," said the clerk feeling for the sprouts of a budding mustache. "For merly we had a set of beautifully pol ished rosewooi. trays, but we had to throw them aside." Every box bore a small illuminated card, on which was the retail price of the cigars. These cards were 10,15,20, 25, 30, 45, 50 and 80 cents, and two boxes were marked $1 and $1.50 c piece respecth elv. There were no cigars missing from the 45-cent box, though the 50-cent one was almost empty. The clerk said that if a man bought a high priced cigar he preferred to pay the extra 5 cents and get one for half a dollar rather than 4.5 cents. "At one time we thought it would add tone to the stand," said the clerk, "to take off all price tags, but we found it wouldn't work. Customers cannot remember the names of cigars and re sort to the figures for identification. Besides, the ignorance of the price often led to awkward situations. A man would stop at the stand on his way out with some friends and say : " 'Gimme some cigars.' " 'What kind?' "Well, he would look about blindly for a time and finally order half a dozen of the kind that struck his fancy. If they happened to be the 80-c.enfe or dollar variety, he would pay the bill, but he would never buy of us again. Bo we put the tags back again." "Do you sell many apiece?" "The sale is very uneven. Some times the box will lie for weeks un touched, and then again there will be a sudden rush on them. I have smoked a dollar-aml-a half cigar," said the clerk with si proud smile. "Did you enjoy it?" "Not for a cent, it was given to me one night by a prominent broker who had just made a big turn on the street and felt generous. He bought fifty of them, and handed them to whoever lie met. I took mine home, and after din ner on Sunday I invited some friends in aud I smoked it. Well, I s'pose I'm not up in extra fine cigars, for I didn't get a bit of comfort out of that one. It was so strong that it parched my throat and left an unpleasant taste." "Don't you consider $1 and $1.50 apiece purely fancy prices?" "Well, I don't know but they are a bit spectacular. A cigar can be so good and no better. On the highest priced wholesale list the most expen sive cigar is the Para la Nobleza, which sells to the trade for $418 a thousand. This is a little over 41 cents apiece. They are retailed at any price above 50 cents. We can't sell them at 50, be cause, singularly enough, everybody who buys a 50-cent cigar expects three for $1." "What men buy very high-priced cigars ?" "Nearly all of on? customers bny as high as 30 cents, and we sell hundreds of 50-cent cigars. The purchasers of the very expensive ones are a few men whom i could count off on my fingers. They buy them because they are so very expensive, and not because they like the flavor. I suppose that if wo had cigars at $3 apiece, there would be purchasers." ___ 11 hat the Treasury Pe«p> Fear. [New York Herald.] What the treasury people fear in the future is that their paper issued may by duplicated by the means employed by the photo-lithograpliers. It is possi ble with the aid of photo-lithography to duplicate every line of the most skillful and intricate engraving. This fact was brought to tlie attention of the depart ment not long ago. The statutes forbid any imitation of the currency of the country for the pur poses of advertisement. This is not generally understood. A New York brewer recently devised a business card in the sha}>e of a platu with sev eral bills of different denominations lying upon the plate, being held down by. a gold and a s lver coin. He had employed regular bills as the models for thé work, and the result is absolutely startling. What portions of the bills that show in the careless piling are absolutely perfect. They were re produced by photo-lithography and then colored exactly like the originals. Tho plates were all seized, and the brewer notified that he was a violator of the law, although his intent was innocent. This disco .~erv has set the officials to thinking. With the right kind of paper any skillful photo-lithographer could get up millions in a very short time. To guard against the danger and to provide means of detecting such counterfeits arc «••yet un? olvrxl problems. «
