Anecdote of John MarrUsey.
"The account of the exploits of prize
fighters as knights errant," said a well
known clergyman, who didn't want his
nama mentioned lest he might be suspected
of too great familarity with, such subjects,
"reminded me of a story which Capt Bu
Faii-child, cf the New York city polioe force,
used to vouch for twenty-five years ago. A
friend of the captain a very proper sort of
person, whom we will call Mr. Good had
conceived an intense horror of prize fighters
in general, and of John Morrissey in particu
lar. Mr. Good, one day while traveling up
the Erie road, propped into a conversation
with a gentlemanly stranger of herculean
frame who occupied the seat next to him.
When the train arrived at Turner's the depot
was seen to be in the complete possession of a
mob of roughs and stalwart lumbermen, who
had taken possession of the lunch room and
terr oriaa4 pvery body in the place. Mr. Good
was hungry, and bo and his unknown com
panion left the train to get something to eat.
Mr. Good pushed his way through the prowd,
aud ordcrad an oyster stew from the waiter.
Tho proprietor demurred, pn the ground that
the roughs would not permit any' one else to
bo served but their own party.
" 'Oh, give my friend an oyster stew,
spoke up the unknown Ilercules; I guesj
there'll bo no trouble.'
"Tho stew was no sooner served than
horny hand reach over Mr. Good's shouldei
aud tipped his stew upon the floor.
' 'Suppose you give mo an oyster stew,'
said the Hercules quietly, with a defiant
glanc-o at the burly six footer who had spoiled
Ur. Good's lunch. Another stew was served,
aud it was as promptly tipped oyer by the
same haud, while the mob of roughs laughed
uproariously. But the Hercules, like an
avenging thunderbolt, had leaped from his
stool, and the laugh died away as he went
right through that crowd, striking out right
and left until he had cut a broad swath clear
to the doorway. When the cyclone was over

and remarked as quietly as ever, 'Just let
mo have another stew, please, and a fresh
one for my friend.'
"Mr. Good looked at his companion in awe
tsLe ejaculated: 'Excuse me, sir, but who.
are you, anyhow T The Hercules reached
into bis vest pocket and produced a card
bearing the name 'John Morrissey, New
York.' The stews were eaten iu peace, and
Mr. Good afterward, said to Capt. Fairchild,
as he described the encounter: 'Well, they
say a good many hard things about John

Origin of an pld LeReutL
The aneient folk legend of the sun dancing
on Easter morning seems to receive some in
direct support from a letter in Nature. At
least, If it pan be well established that the
mooa dances upon occasions, onr difficulty in
admitting that the sun does tho same thing
must be diminished. A lady at the antipo
des, roiling Jo her father in England, men
tions that she, with a sister and a friend, be
ing on a balcony the night before at half
past 10, distinctly saw the waning moon
dancing pp and down. They gradually grew
frightened as they watched the phenomenon,
end made up their minds that it must por
tend an earthquake. The writer adds that
fbe movement was apparent only when tho
moon wa partly behind thin clouds, which
were streaked across her face. This proba
bly gives the key to the mystery. A waning
moon would not be far above the horizon at
half -past 10, and its image well within the
cone of mirage from rising and falling va
pors, while the combined movement of moon
and intervening clouds would easily produce
a familiar rvntienl delusion, and. aided by an

Flood's Subsidence.
Tho water of the Yangtso ICiang Lad been
rising, and at last it had overflowed its banks
and filled the plain. The city of Kiu Kiang,
whero I was living, was half submerged, and
tbo only outlying lowlanda were covered
with water. As many as had boats, and
had warning enough to take to them, had
sought refuge on adjacent highlands. This
brought many hungry refugees to Kiukianj
which added to an already overcrowded pop
ulation, and half submerged streets mudo it
a good place to get away from.
A native magistrate told 1110 that there
were no less than 40,000 of these hungry and
impoverished wretches in tho city. They
had neither silver nor gold, and depended
for Fulwistenco solely upon the charitable, of
whom China bos a goodly number, und ujxm
what they could steal or pick up. So great
was the distress and so importunate the cries
for bread (or rice) that many merchants
closed their stores to get rid of tho cries of
the hungry for food. I had a forty iiouud
"llob Hoy" canoe, which I kept in my parlor
for safety. The water stood some two feet
deep at my front stoop. I launched the canoe
at tho door and made excursions through the
streets of the city, and uianv were the
novel sights. Tlie stores and shops Lad
water iu many instances to tho counter tops,
and upon these sat merchants who kept
guard over goods stored uion shelves and
hanging from beams above tho water line.,
I entered these stores in my canoe, and
traded and chatted with the merchants, who
amused themselves between customers by
watching the fish which swarmed in vast
schools in the stores and fed upon the falling
crumbs or rice thrown them by the clerks.
Occasionally I would find a resident street
ujioa lower ground where tho water coveted
the doors and where the only means of pass-
ago was through holes made in the tile roofs.
I frequently found families living upon ini-

for rescuo. My boat was so licht as to re-
quire careful manipulation to carry one in
safety. To render aid was out of my power.
so thut all I could do was to do nothing in tho
way of relief. I shall never forget the look

were in danger, I betook myself to the moun

to tho high ground was long and tedious, but

somo Buddhist monks in an ancient teninle.
After a day's rest aud recuperation we
whiled the time away in exploring tho moun

places were the graves of distinguished dead,
which had for centuries been overarown
with acacia hushs, now in f ulj bloom, and
whose rich blossoms loaded the pure moun

maining relics of these tombs were the carved
and entublated stones, which told in crude
hieroglyphics of the renown of the men
whose bones had long since returned to dust.
Around these graves, wild boars now found
a hiding place, and huge serpents coined their
slimy bodies and alternately skpt and fed
upon such birds and mice as chance brought
within reach.

be marked by carved stone, nor their graves
visited by filial descendants. No last honors
were performed over their biers. The places
which had known them simply knew- t-hem
no more, hey were gone. Survivors
quickly prected like shanties upon the spots
where the others bad been, and awaited, their
turn to be drow-ned the next flood that came.
Tho Chinese, like the traditional Arkansas

Shrewdness of a Confederate.
The hero of the following anecdote, a boy
of 16, was not a Yankee, as might naturally
be supposed, but a Johnny Reb." He had
been entrusted with dispatches for a certain
Capt. Grandy at the battle of Fredericks
burg, and found himself compelled to de
scend a hill directly under the fire of Union
sharpshooters. Suddenly his horse stopped
and tumbled under him, as if warned of
danger ahead. It seemed like pertain death
to ride down in fair view of the marksmen
concealed in yonder tannery, but he must de
liver the orders to Grandy.
An odd plan occurred to him; he would
dismount and roll down the hill ! No sooner
thought than done. He got off bis horse,
which bad sense enough to lie down in a
fence corner, and down our hero rolled, right
into the breastworks I What Grandy and
his men thought of this mode of delivering
dispatches, he did not stop to inquire. Re

SKILL OF THE HANDS.
Tlio Wonderful Degrco of Accuracy to
Which They Can Be Trained.
Wu hear a great deal about the wonderful
precision and aecurucy of machinery in
theso days, and of course it is wonderful; but
the degree of accuracy to which tho human
hand can be trained is equally wonderful.
flaying cards are required to bo cut with
tho sides quite wirallel to each other, because
if a puck le trimmed by the machino slightly
wider at one end than tho other, and they lo

end of tho ack will lo double the vnriutiou
in any one card, which would facilitate
cheating, very minute variation Ix-ing x-r-ceptiblo.
Tho men who test theso cards for
this make calipers of their finger and thumb
and by passing them along from one end to
the other detect a difference in width be
tween tho two ends which it is diillcult to
measure by any other means.
There are men employed in factories where
dried yeast is uiudo wiose business it is to
put the yeast into iucknges weighing a cer

not use the scales. They simply separate
from tho mass with their hands a lump of it
and put it up, und y ou may cho so at ran

weigh exactly the right umount, the scales

Where large numbers of eggs aro handled
and shipied to market there is n process
known us "eandlcing" eggs, which consists
iu taking them up iu tho hunds (usually two
eggs in each hand lit a time), and holding
them up before a lighted caudle. Tho light
shining through them reveals to the pi-

on idea that they must get back on a straight

currents, and they strike out to get lck to
shore by tho short routo instead of finding
out the out-rent and swimming with it. The
first thing they know they get into a wave
that twists them all up. They don't know
when to cut through it. and all of a sudduii
they loose their head, get out of wind, lie

Ten or fifteen years ago uo man would
have believed it possible that girls that rocg
of whose aptitudes Tom Tulliver entertained
so disparaging en estimate could ever have
became such brilliant performers in the lawn
tennis court. Even among men less preju
diced than the young hero of '-The Mill on
the Floss," it had always been an article of
faith that women "can neither throw nor
leap," and. that the day would never come
whop a tennis bat wielded by a female arm
would really and truly "strike" a ball instead
of "spooning" it. They knew not what could
be done with the female tennis player by
merely "catching her young." The girls who
have learned their tennis in the school room,
so to speak, who began this game at tho ago
when they began their "scales" and "ex
ercises," are very often nowadays a match
for their brothers. And of power has been
born grace, which, indeed, if it does not
always spring from power, must always
have power for one of its parents.
No one who has ever seen a really skilled
competitor in a "ladies' tournament" but will
at once retract and apologize for the impiou3
worq -awKwarci ana "unrenunine ' if any
such slanders have ever passed his lips. Lawn
tennis has now fairly won its title to be con
sidered a fitting game not merely for "young
men and children," but for "old men (or a$
any rate middle aged men) and maidens'
also, Jhayasaid my say on behalf of tho
latter, and as to the former they, if they are
sensible men, are hardened against ridicule.
Why may they not as legitimately breathe
themselves, though unskilled, on the tennis
court, as grasp the crab catching oar, op
mount the unaccustomed horse I Aquatic and
