J NAMELESS HERO.
Ttris is thi son- of a namelcw man.
Uaten a while till the deed U told
Of one wh ventured bis Ufa to'aavw
Another's, but not for fame or sold.
Winter hal been both bars and long;
Spring set tii, and the brooklet ran.
Swamping the meadows and breaking tM

Into mlghty.biocks. Then the flood be
gan. Hod and roaring, tho rushing stream
On its bearing bosom tho ice blocks bore;
Stemmed at length by a bridge of might.
It foamed and crashed with a sullen roar.
Crashed and dashed on the piers of stone;
They yield at lust to the fearful strata:
The center au-ch, and the keeper's house
And helpless iuraates alone remain.
Fiercer and fiercer roars the flood.
Wilder the wind in the stormy sky.
Tho kecier springs to the rocking roof:
'Mercy, have uiorcy. great God on high!
Help for my helpless wife and child!"
They beard him loud o'er tho torrent's
roar:
Help, alas! there is none to tiring:
No boat could live if it left tho shore.
Whose steed conies galloping hot with haste.
And stops by tho river rnglng wild?
Count Alfen. who offers red gold to him
Who'll save the keeper with wife and child.
ears, a thousand, the offer lieurJ,
Heurt". a thousand, with grief are sore:
They look at the Ice, the flood, and the sky.
But never a boatman leaves the shore.
" Boatmen, then, are ye coward? all?
And in net they parish within our sightr"
"Try ltyouiself! Lord Count," they cried.
Alas!" said he, "for my strength U

)Ht from the crowd a wagoner steps.
A boat is launched with the speed of
thought:
Twill save but one with his uilghty weight.
But his arm is strong, and he cares for
naught.
Thrice lie guides her with giant strcugtb.
Thrice hath he brought her safe to shore:
Scarce had the last foot touched its planks
Wneu with an-iul crash the arch fell o'er.
Who wa this valiant man of men?
A simple laborer, bravo and bold:
Grand was the deed," I bear you say,
But still he did it Tor goods aud gold."
Listen, then: "Gallant the need you've
done.
And well." 6ald the Count, "have you
earned the prize."
Frankly and modestly answered then
The valiant man with the fearless ey-s:
" My life, I-ord Count, U not for gold.
Your money all to the keeper give;
ioet in the flood is his little all.
Yet ho and his wife and child must live"
With a careless smile he turned and went.

THE NOltAL VALUE OF LAUGHTER.
Thero is a sober side to the subject of
laughter, though sober-sides do not
usually observe it. Nor is it without a
positive moral value, as might be pre
sumed, from the fact that no other nat
ural physical movement of the human
frame is without its assigned purpose.
Laughing is not to be sneezed at any
more than sneezing is to Ihj laughed at,
as an established function of nature.
We should rather inquire what is their
definite design aniid the intricate move
ments of life.
A medical writer of high authority is
publishing, in one of our scientific jour
nals, a series of articles upon "The
Remedies of Nature.'" In suggesting
relief for certain diseases, especially
asthma, he declares that "next to out
door exercise, the best corrective is
conversation, laughing and singing."
He adds that "laughter is a peptic
stimulant, while silence and brown
study favor dyspepsia, asthma and
sleeplessness." "A piece of good news
is worth bushels of asthma-weeds, "
And 50 say we. Send ou vour barbels
of good news. "As cold waters to a
thirsty soul, so is good news from a far
country."
Now laughter is evidently desigued
to wake up things generally, ami set
everything to moving lively in that im
portant region where the main physical
operations of life are going ou. There
is evideutly a little engineer stationed
somewhere" under the fifth rib, on the
right side of the human frame. When
anything striking or funny meets the
eye or starts in the mind, the bell-rope
that goes down to him receives a sudden
jerk from the pilot-house in the braut,
and he turns on the steam. At once the
chest begins to blow its bellows rapidly;
both sides have to join in whether they
want to or not, even until they ache;
the heart receives au impulse and wakes
up throbbing rapidly; the lungs expand
and contract with considerable violence;
the bronchial tubes lose their stringency;
the eyes twinkle; the mouth draws back
and opens; a gurgle and a gasp or two
follow; then the air is filled with many
a merry ha! ha! and the asthmatic
patient finds his breath agaiu. All the
arts of the human system have been
et out for a run, like "the boys at re
cess, and after having a good romp
and cheerful, active e.rcise, for a few
minutes, eome dowu to regular business
agaiu.
Now we can not see why it is not
everybody's duty to lnugh, just as much
as to cat and drink, and take any other
kind of physieal excrcie. Indeed, the
liver, the spltvn. and other mysterious
organs, eetn to have the function of
laugl.t.-r appointed for some special use
in their healthful movement-, and its
negle.-t entails disorder and disease
upon them. For laughter oils afresh
the wheels of the bod, with its stimu
lating eilcrt. chases away thai terrible
enemy of t renal hand peace, dyspepsia:
and if physicians are true, dispels sleep-lessnc-s,
with its painful and dangerous
consequences.
To "laugh and grow fat" is an old
proverb that in'ght suggest wisdom to
us, for we are made to laugh. But
there is a class of morbid I'hari-ees who
affect a lofty contempt of laughter ami
mirth as undignified aud trilling, and
unworthy the character of sober-minded
men. Their multiplied sorrows have
deadened the euergv of their vital pow
ers; life's burdens have outweighed its
pleasure.-, aud their organic apparatus
gravitates toward a suspension of its
Fuuctious. The mainspring has lost its
tension, aud they are hi ready half dead.
All because they are neglecting a
fdvysical exercise appointed for the re
let of their decaying members and
faculties.
Let them wake up, take the fresh air
in a rousing walk, join in the merry
laughter of the children, whose buoyant
spirits display the healthful activity of
their bodily system, play with the dog,
run and junip as much as their old
bones will let them, and their morbid
ness will take lasting flight on the merry
winos of laughter.
Or let them take a good horseback
ride through the woods and fields, and
they will laugh in spite of themselves.
Laughter thus possesses a moral quali
ty. For our moods are too often the
reflection of our physical conditions.
No mau can be a free, earnest servant
of God, filled with love to his Master
and active good-will to his fellow-men,
who doesn t keep his laughing appa
ratus polished up and in good working
order. He will be filled with jealousies
and envies nnd all discouragements, if
he does not laugh betimes. This is no
Joke; it is a solemn fact.
We need not indulge iu un
timely or uproarious laughter. But
there is a time to laugh; and when the
time comes, it is our Christian duty, for
the sake of our bodies, minds and souls,
to laugh to the best of our ability to
laugh thoroughly, heartily, and "clear
down to our boots. If we don't feel
like it, we ought somehow to work
jurselves up to it.
"Being happy is a talent that can be
ukivated. Tke sift of confining the
4tnw mi f Jpa.i f a a ! eagxnt channel, f
iweariag roseate spectacles as others
would wear an electric belt, jof en joyiar
ilife bj. sheer; effort f will force,"
may db aevwiupea-unui n iu -us oui n
tnanv miseries to which both body and
mind fall heir.
It is not best to tickle others much.
In order to make them lauh, especial
ly children, who offer sucn provoking
temptation that we may enjoy and
catch the contagion of their merry
chuckling. But it would wake up and
revolutionize many a drowsy and for
lorn old misanthrope, if applied regu
larly and for a sufficient length of time,
three times a day for a month.
We wonder that the wise physicians
have not set up an establishment for
the "laughing cure," the same as for
the "''water cure." They might at least
make it an adjunct to their Turkish
baths. The wit who made his exhaust
ed wife laugh, when she seemed siuk
ing away, produced a reaction und set
alFher vital forces into movement to
ward recovery. Wit aud wisdom often
run togelher,aH iu this enso. It will
dispel many a vapor, and lift many (.
burden, and brighten it mi lengthen
many a life, to give laughter its. legiti
mate play. Iiec. A. A. E. Taylor, in

A Biff Oyster Story.
"How's that for an ister?" said the
skipper of au oystenuan, puiuting to au
enormous shell that lay ou the deck.
"It ain't not only a big shell." he con
tinued, "but it's got a powerful big
yarn that goes with it."
The shell was certainly four feet
long, large enough to serve as a bath
tub for a small' boy, aud must have
weighed over two hundred and fifty
pounds, as the reporter could not move
it with one baud. It was one of the
largest bivalves known, the tndacna
gigas, more properly allied to the clams,
but passing as a very respectable oyster.
'Yes, sir," continued the skipper,
who was shucking oysters, smoking,
talking and humming a tune at the
same time, "that ister was fetched from
the East Indie; by an old mate of mine,
and happeniu' to run foul of me he
says, says he: 'Bob, you're iu the ister
biz and" oughter have the boss ister:
kinder sample ver goods like.' So
what does he do but send this ere bal
last aboard. Theie was two of 'em:
one got washed away in a gale of wind
off Pint Lookout, down the Chesapeake,
but the two ot 'em weighed over five
hundred pounds, and (iillis, he what
fetched 'cm. said he eat the ister along
o' the hull port watch of the ship
about twenty, I reckon and there was
half of that istet left. The oritter
weighed close on to forty pounds, all
solid meat. Ye wouldu'topen many of
'em in an hour.
"The yarn? Wall, as I was sayin.
Gillis was one o' these speculatin
chaps, always lookin' for tho main
chance, swappin' knives, clothes, any
thin' to make a cent, and cute as they
make 'em; so when the ship struck the
Hoss latitudes Gil was always on the
lookout for curiosities, shells" and such,
for to fetch home and sell. So, when
the ship struck the Straits o' Sunda and
kcni to, off he goes with a couple o'
niggers what came aboard to git coral
and thiugs. Wall, they was wadin'
along, as Gil said, haulin' the canoe
after 'cm aud picktn' up chunks of
coral and conchs and such, and all to
once Gil see what looked like a flower,
all pink and yellow, aud not knowin'
what it was, up he goes and glvo it a
kick with his foot. The next minute ho
felt somethiu' close over his foot like a
vise, and was gripped as if he'd took
root, aud lookin' down he see his foot
nipped in one of these ere shells. Pull
and haul every way he would he
couldn't move, and they couldn't got at
the critter, as it was burled in the coral
and the tide 011 the Hood; it rises about
six feet iu that country. Wall, they
thumped the critter with the oars and
hauled away for awhile, till to tut
puppus, andcurtis enough, Gil had left
his knife aboard, .and the only thiug to
do was to go for it. So off one of the
coons started for the bark, and she a
lyiu' two miles away. The other chap
stood by Gil iu case he gev out; and
there they was, the tide a risin every
minute, but iu about three-quarters of
au hour the ship's cutler came along.
The boys gev Gil a cheer that kind it'
bracedhim up, and the skipper had scut
his grog. Overboard jumps the mate
with one o' these ere spades they use iu
whalin', and in about a minute the crit
ter was all cut up aud Gil was yanked
aboard; but I'll be dogged if the water
wasn't most up to his chin. The next
day they went at low tide and . got out
the critter's shell; and that's the yarn,
and there's the shell,' said tho .skipper,
in conclusion. Philadelphia Time..
Jack, The Pet JavellH.
Jack was fouud iu the wood near
Lytle Station, ou the International,
south of San Antonio, by Mr Y. M.
.McDaniel, some time last summer, and
presntod by that gentleman to Mr. K.
S. Bellamy, agent tor the International
at that station. It was supposed to be
about three weeks old when caught. I
will keep ou in suspense no longer;
the Hon. .lack is neither more nor less
than a javelin oryouug wild hog. Mr.
Bellamy had the curiosity and the pa
tienee to try his training skill on him.
and on applieat'ou he found him au apt
scholar, lie persevered, and at the end
of one month not onlv was in an elli
cieut body guard by da. but a l'ailhtul
sentinel by niirlit. Mr. Heilann is a
very active s'lid accommodating ubit tie
man, aud has been a long time in the
company's employ, yet iu his varied
duties v 011 will find Jack at his heels
and he will allow no one to come be
tween him aud his body,
When seated at the desk he lies dowu
at Mr. H.'s feet, aud will allow no one
to touch h'm. At night Jaek follows
Mr. It. to his bedside, and if he cannot
manage bv Mealth or nthi-nv to gel
into the bed, he wili lie down be-idelhe
bed and there remain ttiiet until morn
ing, unless some intruder enters the
room, wheu he will dart at him with all
the fero -itv of his wild nature. Few
who intrude on him unwittingly once
never wish to try their hand a second
time, yet if not molested he is perfectly
gentle. At the table he stands at his
master's side and receives a portion of
anything he eats, and he is not particu
lar what it is. He is a veritable tip
pler, aud likes his whisky and beer and
atry other slroug driuk." After drink
ing whisky he will smack his lips and
give signs for more. Any person who
has ever seen a javelincau imagino
what a graceful figure he cuts with his
unshapely body with the whisky glass
in his mouth.
But a short time ago three coyptes
came ou the platform at the station in
the middle of the night. Jack jumped
up and stood between his master and
the coyotes, and kept them at bay until
one of'the transportation men woke up
and asked what was the matter. Mr.
B. said it was only coyotes; that Jack
would take care" of them, and rolled
over and went to sleep again One day
later Jack got up into the bed beside
the baby. He licked its face and then
laid down beside it aud kept the flies
oil. Jack has got mam tricks, but the
most important thing that strikes the
observer is tbestroug attachment he has
for his master. San Antonia (Teas.)

;Thsaad oicaWs mineral is
becoming qnit an important element '
in the arts and sciences, but its real
raltie is realized fully in tho process,
of extracting the noble metals from the
baser sorts, and lowr grade ores can
be profitably worked with the quick
silver process that would hardly pay
to work the old-fashioned way. A
sheet of gold foil dropped into quick
silver disappears nearly as quick as a
suow-flake dropping on a warm stove
or boiler. It has tbe power of separat
ing, or, of readily dissolving, those re
fractory metals 'which are not acted
upoti by the most powerful acids.
Awa v out among the forest fastnesses of
the Western uiouutains immense Quan
tities are used by the miners. They
pour it into their" machines in which is
placed the finely-pulverized low-grade
ores, and though the particles of noblo
metal are so small us to be impercepti
ble to the. naked eye, yet this liquid
will search it bnt and carry it away
with itself in the- form of amalgam.
Another very peculiar property pos
sessed by the substance isjta power of
reproducing itself,, or, in other words,
no matter how many .tiies used if by
any means it-cau" W' reclaimed and
subsequently purified, it can be used
over and oyer again. To do this the
niineni distill the mass, volatilizing the
quicksilver, leaving the gold or stiver
as a residue, both dist'Mato and residue
being in a state of virgin purity.
In the mining, preparation, and han
dling of quicksilver many lives have to
lie lost. First, the men "who work at
the tuiueti soon become salivated and
paralyzed, followed by the loss of teeth
aud incitements of the head and jaw.
A man in the last stages of saliva
tion, as it Is called there, is the most
pitiable sight we ever beheld, and he
often lingers in this condition weeks aad
iven months before death relieves him,
cure being out of question. Horses can
not st and to work in it scarcely at all.
mules being generally used; these after
a few months begin to lose their teeth,
and after a time the hoots, followed by
diseased bones throughout. We saw
at one. lime a mule working about the
mine, lose its entire lower jaw: dropped
out while at work.
With those who work with quicksil
ver in a small way, many amusing
thiugs occur. A few days ago an in
quisitive old lady was in the labora
tory, aud seeing a small bit of chamois
leather lying on the floor she picked it
up and afterward wrapped her gold
specs in it. The next morning meet
ing us on the ferry she very woefully
informed us that her specs had melted,
and so they had; all the gold had been
absorbed by the mercury contained iu
the leather, which was a discarded filler.
Iu using quicksilver, great care should
be exercised to keep it from coming in
contact with auy jewelry, watches, etc.,
foy as sure as itdoes the gold will all
disappear, Care should be taken not to
iuhalu it aud none should use it save
those who know something of its na
ture. Midland Industrial Gazette.
CHANCE LITERATURE.
----
How Uom f tho SraUst Discoveries
IIae ttecu Maul.
Many of the greatest discoveries in
the era of the revival of learning were
characterized' by the merest chance.
Cicero's important treatise, "Le Re
publieti," was discovered concealed
beneath some monastic writing. Part
of Livy was found between the leaves
of a Bible, aud a missing page in a bat
tledore. Quintilliau was picked out of
an oltl coffer full of rubbish. The one
copy of Tacitus which survived the gent-rat"
destruction of Roman libraries
was fouud in a WestphaHtu monastery.
An original Magna Cbarta, with all its
seals and signatures, was fouud by
Cotton about to' be cut up by a laiio'r
into measures. Thurloe's slate papers
till out of a exiling in Lincoln's Intv
Many of Lady Montague's letters were
discovered by Disraeli iu the office of
an attorney, where they might have re
mained till this day but for the chance
i-it of the great bibliophile. A d un
doubtedly mauy huudivds of rare
book aud manuscript-s and papers lie
hidden away in the presses aud cup
boards of old manor houses, whence
gradually they may be dragged into
the light of the day. to be destroyed or
to awaken universal iuterest. No or..
could have read without emotion '
the poor fellows who made up tli
struggling remnant of thii Grech .-,
peditiou read with avidity the newspa
per wrappings of the lemons they ate.
Vet, wheu we recall occasions in our
own lives when we have been absolute
ly dependent upon our own resources
for means wherewith to kill time, we
can appreciate it. Toward the close of
a long voyage, even under modem lux
urious conditions, the humblest of
chance literature is greedily seized
upon; the odd volume of a novel, the
mangled remains of a book of poems,
a tile of very old newspapers -anything,
in fact," which is printed means
the dteppsa! of otherwise dreary, mo
notonous hours. Subjects in "which
hitherto we have not taken the smallest
iuterest become fascinating; we learu
to love a detested author, we skip not
a word, and it may be said that many
a man has developed a new taste or ac
quired a new hobby-horse from the
perusal of chance literature under
such circumstances. Hence we find
that set-skippers are so often well in
toriued on many subjects outside their
profession; that lighthouse keepers are
sometimes scientific men and linguists:
that turnpike keepers are often men of
no mean attainments. London Ulobt.
Colonial Fishing Grounds.
The number, variety and extent of
the Ushing grounds with which the en
tire seaboard of the colony has been
endowed, all lviug within a verv mod
erato distance of Port Jackson, New
South Wales, afford the strongest en
couragementto the inhabitants of the
whole colpuy, who may hope to see
the markets supplied with finh in a
mauner and upon a system consonant
with the requirements of the commu
nity. In New South Wales the fish
most adapted for food purposes do not
yet require to be searched for in large
smacks or fishing vessels, victualled
and equipped for a cruise of several
months; neither is it necessary for the
fishermen to make voyages to fishing
grounds distant hundreds of miles
from home. The best fish are very
rarely met with more than ten miles off
the coast, or in deeper water than thirty-live
fathoms. Tbe schnapper,
which for economic purposes may be
ranked with the cod of the northern
hemisphere, appears to ba distributed
with remarkable regularity along the
whole extent of the seaboard that is
to say, over about 600miles; and what
ever the formation or character of the
coast may be, this fish, the most val
uable of "all kinds, and perhaps the
most abundant, is never absent, and
being essentially a rock fob In its hab
its, is not migratory: and tbe same
may be said of its congener the
bream, and, in a lesser degree, of the
flathead, whiting, blacktish, tailors,
tarwine, garfish ami other varieties
which frequent the bays aud estuaries of
harbors aud lakes, rather than the
eeau depths, Some of these fisb are,
no doubt, not to be found throughout
the year hi their iMiiai haunts, but they

When Mr. William Saunders, itoeriu
tendeut of CarJeus and rounds of th
Agricultural I epartmetit. was on the
west coast of ! lorida. last winter a
year, he was told at 'lampa that the
Very beat orauges grew at Mauitee.
vt hen the I oat arrived at Manitee a
man came ou hoard with a basket of
oranges, and Mr. auuders bought a
ttoeu. Af'er tasting four or live, and
finding them bitter and sour, he threw
them all iuto the water. The huckster
had evideutly got hold of a very bad
variety of the native orange. The le.st
oranges that grow in r lorida have been
inU'odu. ed there since the war,
'Ihe Agricultural I'epartmeut gets
orange trees from all the orange-growing
countries in the world, aad piopa

fruit. The be-t orange tree in the h -t-hunsp,

Many hundred shoots from this tre
have hcu grafted into plants aud sent
to ( alifo-.ni.t aud l-lorida. and from
these whole orciianls have been pro
duced by budding and grafting. In
alifornia particutaily this orange has
obtained the h'ghe-t reputation, ami il
has taken the premium at all the faiia
where citrus fruits have been exhibited.
Another very .o it orauge is the St.
Michael's, a variety that is hijrhly
prized iu I ondon. It seems to grow
better iu Florida than in the tr 'pics.
The I-lorida winter gives the rest lhat
all fniit trees ought to have. I y far
the larger number of the orange trees
aud plants in the collection of the Ag
ricultural Department were obtained in
July.
The orange takes nearly the whole
year to mature. The trees blossom in
February, and the pulling of the fruit
begins in November aud continues
through Decembor. The fruit does not
drop readily, aud will remain on the
branches during the whole wiuter. It
ought to be taken off, however, when it
is fully ripe. The trees in the hot
house f the Agricultural Department
bserfe about the same order that they
ib in Florida. They were iu blossom
in February and the oranges arc now
as large as" the marbles which bovs call
'conimoneys." Oranges that grow iu
hot-houses are as good or even better
than those that grow in tbe open
orchard, provided the temperature is

ON BOARD A MGTJAlt BOAT
EXPERIENCE WHILE BOMBARDING
FORT JACKSON.
Tcrrllilr ltn ami Coiicnwiott of Mortar
Firing ' Slilphoaartt A !" DmruIso.
Destructive Work A Most Miraculous
Escape.
Oiw or the preliminary movements for the
lwage of thu forte ifcft"ndi3 New Orleans
was the bringing up and placing of i'orter a
mortar (loot where it could shell the fortj.
Tho utinibcr of tbevj mortar boat3 was an
eveu twenty, and they were diviiled into
three divisions, cadi division having a sep
arate commander r.nl bein,'; located by itself.
: For several days before the mortars got to
i work tho coast survey men were bu-ty buoy
' tug out xieilioiis and calculal iug Owtancca,
aud tho wonderful work accomplished by
tlietti was tbe wonder of at least tho rank
and tile of tho flei'l. The distance to each
fort whs so accurately estimated by triatigu
j lation that tho very first shell killed one mau
and wounded another iiiM.le the works.
Thu division to which 1 was attached was
j anchored closo to the bunk of tho river, with
a strip of woods haVT a tnilo wida between
us mid the forts. UVyoud tho woods was a
j wide iiiursh, uiid our proper distance from
I the nearest work was :i,OUO feet. Tho other
fort (St. Phillip) vva- about 000 yards further
j away, ltisainntter of history that our
masts were trimmed with bullies where tboy
i V
showed nlovc tho trees, so us to bliud tho
gunners "t- the forts. 1 was one of the detail
of men ;vh cariicd out this movement, aud
queer enough our schooners looked when tho
worl; was completed. Our proper masts
seemed to have lieen replaced by trees taken
from thu shore. Hut fow of us had had any
experieuce with mortars, aud tho com
mander of each vessel issued instructions,
which we followed with benefit. Few men,
eveu tuo-o Ijeiongin;; to tho artillery service,
have any idea or the. terrible din and con
cu&iou of mortar Ih ine, ou shipboard. Ou
land much of the din secuis to be absorbed
by the solid ground, but ou board a vesuel
you feel it all. Some of the men. on our
schooner who iiejjieeted the precaution of
holding a bit of soft wood in their teeth hit
their tongues iu a bad way. We bad our,
ears stutfV.1 with cotton, und each timo tho
mortar was tired ewry mau ioe on hut tip
toes. I)i-Miit thcsi precautious many minor
accidents Impelled, and nothing could pre
vent Us front feeling aud hearing a good
thare of the terrible din.
After the lleet got to liring regularly the
1 oar ih heard ilfty miles at sea, aud
envkery was rattled ahout on pantry shelves
iu hoa-.es twenty-flve miles distant. We
tired about once in every seven or eight
minutes and this kept eight or nine shells ia
the air all the time. At each discharge the
boat heeled over as if sho had struck a heavy
nea, and had scarcely conio back to a level
keel n hen we were ready torceat the 0era
tion. The strain ou planks and timbers was
tremendous. After we had tired tho fifth
shot we had to set the piuiis going, and
.some of the great spike were started half an
inch. Had we lieen aground the bottom of
the schooner would have leen driven out at
the first fire. While the entire fleet came in
for the din, the crews of tho mortars of
course suffered most. After the first day's
firms, which ceased at sunset, tho stillness
was almost as much of a st ntin ou our nerves
as tho noise had Ikvii. ami it was hours lie
fore we could go to sleep.
It must not lie supjiosed that all tho fun
was ou onr idc. After our third shot tho
Confederates opened on us- from ii number
of heavy guns. While they could not see u-
on ac-uanl "f Ihe fore-t, the;, know our
jiositions, and after a little shot and shell be
gan to fall around u.. Ins-ido of one hour
I counted eight shells which fell within r.'OO
feet of our schooner, and the bursting of
some of them threw wuter 011 our decks. Dur
ing the first day we hail a dozen missile pass
direct I over tis, culling a few iohs, and I
witnessed several accidents aboard of o(hr
esseN lying ahead and liehiud us. The de
structive work of the Confederate tire wan.
howeer, more plainly seen when tho big
I'-l) pour.d -.hells fell into the forest which
protected us. The soil was soft and spongy,
being subject to periodical overflows, asid
when the great shells sunk into this earth and
exploded they would throw mud and water
over the tree tops and leave a crater large
enough to take iu a hou.se. Scores of great
trees w-re uprooted bv these explosions, and
the shells which exploded in the tops of
others created far more havoc than the
angriest bolts of lightning ever hurled from
Jove's liaud.
We planted over 1,:!H) bombs inside the
two forts on that first day, burning tho cita
del and everything else which would burn in
Fort Jackron. driving most of the men to
shelter and damaging tho magazine so that
it could not Ihj entered during tho night.
Outside of thirty or forty shells which ex
plodid in the air. owing to bad fuses, not
more than u dozen out of tho great iiuinlr
fired fell outsido of the works. We fired
entirely at Fort Jaeksou, which was a mile
and a half away.
We opened fire again at daylight ou the
second ih-y, and the reply from the forts was
just as vigorous, although we knew the
enemy had suffered a great deal and must
be eouid-jrably demoralized. About mid
forenoon, jiiit as wo were ready to fill our
mortar for the fifteenth time since opening,
a great rifie shell, which I plainly saw before
it fell, and took to lie a bird of some sort,
descended upon our deck with an awful crash.
It disappeared through the heavy planks as if
they had Ucii in(ier, passed down through
the magazine with its dangerous contents,
aud ou down through the bottom of the
schooner and into the mud of tho river bed.
The fuse was burning brightly when it struck
the deck, and the men saw a trail of sparka
as it paved through tbe magazine. In a mo
ment it was known that we were sinking, but
the craft around us hastened alongside aud
helped to remove most of the stores before
she went down. That tho shell struck with
out killing auy of us was considered miracu
lous. That it passed through the magazine
without exploding it was one of those unac
countable thiugs in war which admit of no
discussion. Carrington Smith in Detroit Free

European Education of Girls.
The system carried out in Vienna for
educating girls is entirely worthy of
notice. They are kept at their studies
until they are 15 'ears of age. Then
they go through a course of leaching in
the pantry ami the kitchen under some
member of the family, sometimes under
trained cooks, for a year or two years.
Thus they learn to do everything thera
sclves and to kqow the value of thiugs
long before they commence housekeep
ing on their own account, aud though
they may never be required to cook a
dinuer, they become independent of
cooks auu servants. Ihe Austrian worn
en are most aflectiouate wives and
mothers. They are accomplished as at
English governess, are as witty in so
ciety as a Parisian, and are among the
most beautiful women iu Europe. Cor.

Cnckoo Clocks That Are Worthless.
In bis report-on clock-making in the
Black Forests. Consul Ballc.w has the
following in regard to the clocks the
Americans buy. aud how the travelers
are sometimes fooled: "The United
States takes trumpeter and cuckoo
with painted dials, also many regula
tors and musical clocks. The" exporta
tion of those clocks to tbe United States
is steady, and will aggregate $50,000
per year. During tbe summer months
the Schwarzwald clock region is visited
by many Americans, and nearly every
visitor purchases one .of these clocks.
They are very attractive and appear to
be cheap, but in many cases they are
made to be sold onlyand an attractive
exterior may induce many to purchase
an almost worthless article. One can
not be too particular when purchasing
one of these clocks, for when the cuckoo
will pot coo any more aud the trum
peter will not blow another blast, then
is their value as curiosities gone, and
when, after a few months, they become
valueless as time-keepers, then are they
very poor stock indeed. I have heard
so many complaints from people who
have purchased these clocks in regard
to their general poor quality that I deem
it my duty to make this fact public,
and also to inform would-Ihj purchasers
that, if they wish to avoid disappoint
ment, they'should be very particular
where and of whom they purchase, and
in no case to purchase ot irresponsible
Sarties. A few inquiries will generally
isclose the required facts. Baltimore

Mexican Carts.
One seldom sees a four-wheeled wag
on anywhere in Mexico. The carts are
ponderous vehicles, each with two enor
mous wheels of solid wood, which look
of themselves a sufficient load for any
pair of animals. Iron, you know, is a
greater rarity there than silver, and the
import duty on such articles of foreign
manufacture has hecu not less than $10
per wheel. The carts are usually pro
pelled by several lean, oxen driven
four abreast, three abreast, tandem,
haphazard and always with heavy
wooden yokes fasteued" upon their fore
heads by ropes around the horns. The
poor creatures' heads are thus bowed
nearly to the ground by the weight of
wood upon them, and their eyes wear a
look of suflering pitiable to behold. The
driver amuses uimself constantly prod
ding them with a sharp iron spear stuck
into the end of a long pole; and not in
frequently a boy is employed to run
alonside carrying a bag of stones with
which he continually pelts them both
driver and boy keeping up an incessant
racket of psth! pstb! a harsh sort of
hissing sound which to Mexican beasts
of burden signifies all the gees, haws,
and "swear words" kuown to other
cattle.
A Boy's Essay on Cats.
Cats, unlike the other insects, don't
have no stingers. The bumbelbee has.
I onc't cauzht a bumbelbee, an1 give it
to a cat Cuts don't like bees, espeshly
them that has splinters in their talzes,
which this had. The thing stung all
the way down, and half-way back
again; that cat run about seventeen
miles, an' then dropped down by the
shuddy side of a haystack and quickly,
without warnin', he hastily died a sud
den death till nt once," for want o
breath.
Ouct wheu Jack an1 me was playiu'
nshin' iu our well with a tom-cat tied to
a string. Jack got hurt. He had the
cat down in the well, waitiu' fur a bite,
an' when his back was turned It
crawled up the brick curb an' clawed
the sap outen him. After that Jack
didn't fule with cats.
I once kuuw a man who was wicked
enough to throw a Move ltd through a
big tom-cat at night, and the very next
day he heard that his grandmother had
broken her leg iu New Orleans and
several other places, which proves how
wicked and sinful it is to disturb the
critters; aud that's all 1 know about
cats.
A Judicial Miracle.
Two Chinese women claiming to be
mother and daughter were brought be
fore Judge Hotlhian on halicns corpus
Tuesday iu San Francisco. The elder
claimed to be a former resident, the
younger to be a native born. The
Judge remanded the mother, implying
a doubt in his mind as to her former
residence, but admitted the daughter.
How a child could be born in a country
in which her mother never resided is
what now bothers medico-jurists or
judicial medicos; but that such things
may happen has now been legally
decided. The Judge's decision may be
founded upon tbe claim of the Irishman
to have been a native of Dublin, al
though he admitted having been burn
in Cork; he happened to be stopping in
Cork at the time, but belonged to Dub
lin! There are those, however, who im
agine that the circumstance of a Chinese
girl of 17 being worth about ten time
as much as a Chinese woman of -10 or
50 hud something to do with the de
cision. All such persons should be
hauled up for contempt of court. Sun

The Seon-li Girl.
These Scotch people are very line
looking, aud their faces have" great
strength of feature and at the same time
much refinement. The Scotch girls are
exceptionally fine looking, and even
among the lower classes you see very
many refined faces. In filestores there
are lady clerks who would pass muster
as well-bred girls anywhere, and many
of the bar-maids in " the whisky-shop's
are beauties. The women of Scotland
do a great deal of work. A white-capped,
middle-aged, rosy-cheeked lady
usually preside; over each of the largest
hotels, and nearly all of the railway
restaurants are managed by women.
Both sexes in Scotland have," as a rule,
good, healthy physiques. There are
more tnll men aiid women than in
America. They have better complex
ions, a more r.ctivo walk, and are, as a
rule, stronger and healthier. Edin
