Since then, various rumors have been afloat ns to tho amount of money that has been put up on the two boats. Some give it at if/iO, others at $100 nnd $500, but so far as wo can understand none, nt all has ns yet been put up. But ns both gentlemen, arc. confident of their bouts and anxious tosail, it Is likely Unit a match will soon be made, The Florence has been for j'erti'H ono of tho fastest cat- rigged boat's afloat. \ Slio is bettor and moro expensively built than nine-tenths of tho New York and Brooklyn yachts.

" But," replied Mr. Cooper,-" we have no money to pay.tbcso lawyers; the city can not afford ii." Mr. Porter replied that (hey would be taken euro of; that the assisting counsel would not bill tho town for their licrv- icea. Mr. Phelps jumped to his feet nnd said; " It-is true.

In this Time he had learned toBwear, as a matter of course, though hehad been atriotly brought up, and wentto ohuroh and Sundny souosl always.His mother would have cried her eyesout to hear him talk in this fashion, butahe never did; his father ^would haveused the rod, but he alrowas spared thetrouble, for both father and mother haddied before Jason came back, and whenhe found they were gone he never wentback to Tolland, bnt after he got tiredof sea-going took to peddling notionsabout the country, and at last marriedthe widow Coe and settled down in Nop-pit.
and swear and talk sailor slang glibly,for he had run about the wharves eversince he could run anywhere. Mrs. Car-ter was troubled and •disgusted to findsuch a. boy on her hands. Jason con-sidered that Providence had sent the lad
•I there for his good, and resolved to prayfor him Sfl for his own boys, to set htmas good an example as he tried to setJack and f)an, and to "deal with him,",s he expressed It, '(with a view to MBiterual salvation." The boys thought
was wonderful. He knew eornncu, he had seen so many things; hehad such a pocket-knife, such m°arbles,uch a swaggerl But when his firstound bath came out Jack and Dan wereitartled.
'Look-a-hera!" said Jack; "don't yonet daddy hear no suoh talk as that
he'll tune ye, ef he does, apd no mis-take." ,
"Whe-e-ew!" responded Jenison;in't a baby; I guess I'll swear if I want
to, for all him; he ain't so pionfl him-self, I bot, but what he rips out some-times!"
"Hedon'tl he don't never!" the boysixclaimed in unison.
H'ml I guesB you don't hear him
He had stopped swearing long ago;lor under dear old Father Taylor'spreaohing he had been converted be-tween his lost two voyages, and thoughprofanity had beeoroe-a habit.with him,he had oonquered it at laBt, after yearsof patient endeavor, and now was sogentle, and pleasant, and pious, thatPhcebe Ooe thought her last dayB wouldbe her best days.
He had come to kuow the widow Coe. from being an old Bhipmate of her broth-
er, John Wires; who had also left sea-faring beoauBe he had injured a knee,
•: and because too lame to climb riggingBO he ' et up a small shop in Boston,where he sold tobacco, twme, and otherodds and ends; but he had been mar-ried and had one son, called JenisonThis boy was about the age of widowOoe's youngest son, for her brother hadmarried soon after she did, while he wasstill a sailor; aud when Jason Garter be-gan the peddling business, John Wiroihad told him to stop when he wenthrough Scranton and Bee hiB sister.The children were small, and their f nther living, when Jason first saw them,and they learned to look for "UncleJase" every spring and fall with delight,for he always brought them marbles,tops, candy, Btring, and made thembows and kites, sure passports to a boy'Bheart. So when their poor drunkenfather .lied and the widow found herBelfleft 'without a penny, she movod oveto Noppit to live with her father, amwhen ho died, too, leaving her all hihad, the farm from which he hocscratched a soanty'living, and she fouiuherself alone and helpless, she lis'tenetfavornbly to Jason Carter's proposal, foihe was tired of his wandering life aPBheof her lonehneas, and married him. Theboys were glad, for they loved him, andthey never had loved their own father,and Ja&on was as good to them as if thovwore hiB own, though a certain thrill oiemotion shook him when hid babydaughter came, that never had troubledthat worn old heart in any emergency oJack or Dan. But then Oelia was a girlof oourse that made it different 1 Jasonwhen compared with his predecessor,was as mild and pleasant about tinhouse as a spring day after stormy wintor. He became a useful and prominenmember in the Noppit chnrch, and nev-er was heard to utter a profane or im-patient word. Jaok and Dan loved himasmuoh as healthy boys love anythingbut mischief and meals, and Phcebe wasentirely happy. '
True, they were poor; Jason had afew hundred dollars laid by, but theNoppit farm was too sterile to producecrops enough to support the family, sohe laid ont his little capital, or part olit, in a good breed of sheep,whioh foundabundant living' among mulleus, hard-

The wool Bold wellalways and kept the family in socks, forJason's wife oonld spin and knit withwonderful rapidity; the lambs he hadnot room to raise were sent to Hartford

The boys wnre shocked into moment-ary silence; but recovered themselves
on."I don't believe it!" said positive Dan." And if he ever did, he don't now,1
added reasonable Jaok; -"he's awfulgood; he's a professor; he prays inmeetin' and to home too, and he don'tnever scold, nor swear, nor nothiti'.Scarce ever he licks a feller; he did giveDan and me one whalin', but' he'doughter hev, that's a fact.

" I don't know as I want your headfor anything, but I'll bet my knifeagainst that cake o' maple sugar you'vgot in the oluset, that 111 set Uncle Jasea swearin' before next week's over."

Shake Stoned.
Among the Arabians serpents wereupposed to possess precious stones of
inestimable virtue. This belief wasurrent through', many ages. Matthew5a,riB relates the story of a miserly.Venetian, named VitaliB, who was res-:ued from a terrible death—having fal-len into a pit in whick werej^lion and aerpent—by a.yood-oimer/co whom, heiromieed half of? kis property for thiseliverance. Thefibn and the serpent,
who take advantage of the ladder byhich Vitalis is brought to trie surface,
.IBQ testify their gratitude to the wood-iutter by crouohing at his feet, Whilehe poor man is having his humble re-
past in his little hut, the lion enterswith a dead goat as a present, Theserpent also enters, bringing in hismouth a precious stone, which he laysin the countryman's j/late. He nextgoes to Venice, and finds Vitalis iu hispalace, feasting with his neighbors inoy for his deliverance. On being
reminded of his promise, the rich mandenies having seen the wood-cutter, andorders .his servants to cast him into>rison; bnt before this could be effectedhe ruBtio escapes, and tells his story to
the judges of the city. At first th'ey arencredulous; but on showing the jewel,and proving further the truth by con-ducting them to the dens uf the ljpu andMio serpent, where the animals" againawn on their benofaotor, Vitalis is com-
pelled to perform his promise.In Timberlake's "Discourse of the
Travels of two English Pilgrims toJerusalem, Gaza," etc., 1611, we find anaccount of a great jewel which was takenfrom a Borpent's head, and used in con-juring. In Alphonso'a "Olericalis Dis-oiplina" a serpent is mentioned witheyes of real jacinth. In the romantiohistory of Alexander, he is said to havefound serpents in the vale of Jordan"with collars of huge emeralds growingon their backs."
Allusions to serpent-stones are frequent in the early writers. We read int ie "Cresta Bomanornm" that the Em-peror ThcodosinB the Blind ordainedthnt the cause of any injured personshould be heard on his ringing a bell,which wan placod in a publio port of hiopalace. A serpent haua nest near thespot where the boll-rope hung. In theabsence of the serpent a toad took pos-session of her nest; the serpent, twist-ing itself round tho rope, rang the bellfor justice, and by the emperor's speoialcommand the toad was killed. A fewdays afterward, as the emperor was re-posing on his couch, the serpent enteredthe chauiber, bearing a preoious jstone inits mouth, and crawling up to the em-peror's face, laid it ou hiB eyes, andglided out of the apartment: the mon-arch was immediately restored to sight.

Thesefigures are, however, eolpsed by tboproportions of the demand for Chinesetea, whioh is said to be used by half abillion; while the cpnsnmers of tobaccoore not only still more widely distribut-ed, but present the astonishing aggregateof 800,000,000. According toaoarefulestimate prepared for thiB report, tobac-co is more generally used than any othersingle artiole of commerce consumed byman. The United States in 1860 pro-duced more than 430,000,000 pounds oftobacco, but ten years afterwards theyield of the plantations had dwindled toabout 260,000,000. The report does notstate the exaot quantity grown in anysubsequent year; bnt it seemB that theexports alone in 1875 reached about'220^000,000 pounds, valued at more than825,000,000. According to the UnitedStates Bureau of Statistics, 'leaf tobaccovalued at nearly $29,000,000 was sentbut of the country in the year endingJune 30, 1877. These figures woaldmake tobacco rank sixth in the list ofexported staples from the United States,cotton, breadstuff's, petroleum, and theprecious metals alone exceeding it inimportance. In 1875 the best oustomerof the United StateB for tobacco wasGermany, which, notwithstanding thelargo quantity jjrown in Prussia, took66,000,000 pounds, while Great Britain,whioh produces none, Wok only 54,000,-000 pounds.
Cyclones and Hop-Vines,AU our general storms are cyclonic in
their choraoter, that is, rotary and pro-gressive. Their type may be seen inevery little whirlpool that goes down theswoUen ourrent of the river, and in ourhemisphere they revolve in the samedirection, namely, from right to left, orin opposition to the hands of a watch.When the water finds an outlet throughthe bottom of a dam, a snotion or whirl-ing vortex is developed, that generallygoes round in the Bame direotion. Amorning-glory or a hop-vine or a pole-bean winds around its support in thosame course, and cannot be rande towind in any other. In the southernhemisphere the oyolone revolves in theother direction, or from left to right.How do they revolve at the equator,then ? They do not rovolve at all. ThiBis the point of zero,, and cyclones arenever formed nearer than the third par-allel ot latitude. Whether also hop-vinea refuse to wind about the polethere, I am unable to say.—Soribner.
Difference in Weights.
A writer in the New England Journalof Education argues in favor of themetric system by showing the confusionintroduced in weights by the statutes ofdifferent States. He says:
People living near the boundaries ofa State are constantly in trouble becauseof these extra laws' on weights and men-sures. A few illustrations will Buffloe:. Twenty-four pounds of dried applesare a bushel in Illinois, 25 in Indiana,28 in Miohigan. Of barley: 46 in Iowa,48 in Indiana. Buckwheat: 62 in Illi-nois, 40 in Wisconsin, 42 in Michigan,and 60 in Indinua. Broom-corn seed:46 in Indiana, nnd 30 in Ohio.
flora meal: 48 in Wiscomin, and 50in Miohigan. Dried penohes: 23 in Iown,28 in Wisconsin, and 33 in Indiana;while of dried peaches pared: 40 poundsin Illinois, 33 in Iowa, 28 in Wisconsin,and 36 in Ohio, make a bushel.
Blue-grass seed: 14 in Wisconsin, and10 in Ohio; but of olover-grass seed: 60iu Indiana, and £2 in Ohio; while ofHungarian grass seed: 48 in Indianaand 50 in Ohio; and ot millet grass seed45 in Iowa, and 50 in Ohio.
And the end is not yet, for of hempseed: 44 pounds in Indiana, and 42 inOhio make a bnshel. Thirty-six pouudiof malt barley in Iowa, 38 in Indianaand 34 in Obio; while of malt rye: 35pounds in Illinois, 34 in Oliio, are abushel.
Mineral coal: 40 in Illinois, and 70 irIndiana. Oats: 33 in Iowa, 82 in Indi-ana , 35 iu Maine, and 30 in Ohio. Onions:57 in Indiana, and 56 in Ohio; but ofonion tops: 28 in Indiana, and 25 iuOhio. •

Police Experience in New York.In 1873, "Mulligan's Hall" was

There were thirty-eighpersons, men and women, of evercolor and nationality, all of theworsicharacter and some notorious in crimeThe captain took in the situation atglance, and determined with a thoughto arrest the whole party. Placing hiibook to the front door, he coveredthe back door with his revolver,and threatened death to the first perewho moved. Then he sent the patro'man to the station for help, and fcr fl;teen long minutes hekl that crowd odesperadoes at bay. They glared aihim, Bquirmed and twisted in thei]places, scowled nnd grated clenchecteeth, Itched to get at their knives anitear him to pieces; but all the while tinatern mouth of that revolver looked althem, and looked them out of counten-ance, and the steady nerve behindheld sway over then: brutal ferocity,was a trial of nerve and endurance,Captain Williams stood the test andsaved his life.

" Does this oar gp right through ?" hewanted to know next, and there wasmurder in my silent, tortured heart.
He paused a few moments, and therattle of the train was lulling mo tosleep. Then, in the first moment ofreal, unfeigned, delightful semi-nnoon-Hoionsness, he leaned both elbows on theback of my seat, and bending his facedown over me as though he had lost hiswatch and believed I had swallowed it,he said, in rasping tones that wouldmake a corpse two hundred years old:
" They uaed to change at La Harpe."Then he suddenly added:'' But maybe you git off at La Harpe."I never opened my eyes.butlbreathed
harder than ever, and, after a shortpause, he added:
" D o ye?"I breathed like four of the Bevcn
sltopers. I was confident that I coulddiscourage him.
•'Do yet" he said.I snored so that you couldn't hear the
earn-rattle:"Say," asked tho tall man, "do you

harrowing scene that ever took p l a * ata gaming table, lays the CincinnatiCommercial, transpired at a pnblichouse in Port au Prince apme years ago.Several parties were waiting about theroom for the game to commence. Amongthe crowd of loiterers was a Captain St.Every, a noted gamcater-f deadly duelistand well-known man of pluck.
Some one spoke up, " Who'll play ?"" I will," paid tHe oaptain of a Krenohfrigate, whioh had just arrived in thebarbor, and seizing a dioe-box threw towin or lose the amount of a small sumof money that then lay upon the table.He was ignorant of the stake to .beplayed. •-
" Monsieur commandant, you haveJfon," said Oaptain St. Every, poshingtoward him several piles of gold.
Astounded at the sight of so muchwealth the captain, drew bock, saying:"Gentlemen, I should be wanting cot>nly in OQtumon honesty, but even in;ood manners, were I to appropriate thelumB, the winning of which I never ex-jeoted in the least degree, for I thought[ was playing for the trifling stake lyingin the table. I cannot, therefore, takethe enormous sum as my own by right."
"8ir," said Captain St. Every,," youmust take it, for if you had lost yonwould have been obliged to pay the samesum."
"You are mistaken, sir, if yon think). I do not conceive my honor en-
dangered in reference to paying a debtif honor which I never contracted, nor
in. refusing to accept of so large a sumwhich I never expected to win."
1 Monsieurlo commandant," shriekedCaptain St. Efery, raising his voioe tothe highest pitch, "if you hod lost youshould have paid. 1 would have madeyon do so."
This was fire to the gunpowder, in-tended t-i provoke a challenge, and itaooomplished its purpose. "Sir," saidCaptain St. Every, " I don't wish totake any advantage of yon,'which myacknowledged ability in the use of thesword and pistol gives me, so I riffrryou terms of equality."
" Bring a pistol here at once, loadand the chance of the dioe shall deter-mine whioh shall blow the other's brainont."
"Agreed," said the nothing dauntedfrigate commandant.
A shook of horror ran through theveins of the assembled crowd at thebarbarity of the blood-anrdling affair.Same shrank from the room, others,more hardened in the sights of horror,crowded near the gaming table perfectlycognizant of the desperate oharaoter ofSt. Every and inwardly lauding thebravery of the unknown.

The match,indeed, was notoriously a love-matoh,the royal bridegroom's mother and manymembers of the court having put everyobstacle in hiB way on account ;of theirhatred of the bride's father. The fes-tivities in Madrid on the occasion of themarriage were notable for splendor, At10:30 o'clock in the mdrnjjig Alfonsoleft his palace, a large brilliant suite at-tending him, proceeded to the Atochachurch and awaited the arrival of theInfanta. The ceremonies that followedlasted until nearly one o'clock, when thepair returned to the palace greeted bythe Bhouts and general rejoicing of themultitude. Bells were rung, cannonfired, and flags thrown to the breeze.The entire city was in holiday dress. Aseries of illuminations by fire-works,lanterns, e tc , of races and of bull-fights,was continued for five days in the pres-ence of thousands of distinguished visi-tors: The pope sent to the queen a roseof diamonds, and her father gave her$5,000,000, in addition to a mnrvelouslyrich and beautiful trousseau, and herhusband his portrait set in preoionsstones, together with several sets of jew-eln.

Drinking Ico Water.There is no more donbt that drinking
ic6 water arrests digestion than there isthat a refrigerator would arrost perspira-tion. It drives from the stomach itsnatural heat, suspends the flow of gas-trio juice, and shocks and weakens thedelicata organs with whioh it comes incontact An able writer on human dis-eases says: "Habitual ice water drink-ers mo usually very flabby about, theregion of the stomnoh. They complainthat their food lies heavy on that patientorgan. They taste their dinner for hoursafter it is bolted. They oultivato theuse of stimulants-to aid digestion: Ifthey are intelligent they read upon foodand what the physiologist has to sayabout it—how long it takes cabbage andpork and beef and potatoes and othermeats and esonlents to go through theprocB s of assimilation.

William Cullen Bryant'B summor resi-dence was at the liQine of his. boyhood,in Gummington, among the bills ofwestern Massachusetts. The farm isrough, and the house stands on what iscalled IJioii's Hill. Some of the landhas been made fertile by drainage andenriching. Mr. Bryant bought theplace about twelve years ago, and partlyrebuilt the old house, which is two sto-ries ha height, painted brown, and has adormered roof. He spent several monthsof every fall and summer there, and hisdaughters lived with him or in theneighborhood. He usually walked sev-eral miles to church every Sunday, andalmost invariably slept through the Ber-mou, A writer in the Springfield Re-publican Bays: " H e almost lived out ofdoors, curing little for the woathex, andready with the axe or pruning knife, orauything that gave hearty eifrcifP. AtBBventy-flve he could leap into the air,catch at a bough, and swing himselfalong by it like a very boy, and we pre-sume he could even later than that. Anyone driving or walking iu that vicinitywi>8 liable to spy the poet in woods orfield under a broad-brimmed straw, hisgreat unowy beard and nlend«r figureattracting the eye among any number ofother men; i and his tense, wiry wny ofwalking, as if it wero no effort at all, butsomething purely mechanical, was verypeouliar."
Grain.The recnut mysterionB explosion at
Minneapolis is referred to as anotherproof that there are material forces inexistence the strength of which is notyet fully understood. Similar cataBtro-phes have taken place from time to timein. Scotland, England and Germany.These latter were investigated by a Dr.Smith, of ManoheBter, England, whogave his opinion that flour and branmixed hi a fine state of division, givesoff a gas at 460 deg. Fahrenheit, which,when mixed with nine volumes of air,forms an explosive mixture liable at anytime to be fired by a spark or flame.Another investigator, Prof. Maoedam,has given his opinion oa the cause ofsuch explosions in greater detail, thesum and substance of which in as fol-lows: The chemical composition ofgrain sbows that all its component partsare combustible when burned in the or-dinary way, and in a far., greater degreewhen diffused through the air an acloud. When finely ground flour thusdiffused through air comes-in contactwith a light or fire, nn extremely rapidcombustion takes place—in foot, an ex-plosion. The "smut" taken from thegrain during cleansing nnd the " shorts"separated from the flonr burn withequal readiness. The conditions re-quired to bring abont a fire explosionare somewhat similar to those requiredto cause a gas explosion, that is a cer-tain proportion of the pulverized matteris requisite to a given proportion of air,and BO long as this proportion is notcompleted there is little or no danger.When bruised, the flonr resolves itselfinto gases. 'The oarbon, by unitingwith the oxygen of the air, becomescarbonic oxide or oorbonio acid, and thehydrogen and oxygen become water,vapor or steam. The volume of thesegases is also much increased' by theirhigh temperatures at the moment ofcombustion.—N. Y. Bulletin.

But if our coasts do not present nssnoh ft fairy land as this; they yet pro-vide us with many wonderful and beau-tiful things. See, here is an oyster."Not muoh beauty here," you say.

Witnoss detailed his brothor'spossession of tho letter, testified that ho bud'repeatedly heard him Bay that Secretary Sher-man had told him that ho wonld bo providedfor and protcoted, and finally said that whenLho inquiry came to be made about tbe letterio searched for and found it among bisirother's papers and destroyed it to pro-

, Dealers are not "to blame forthis state of things, but the manufaot-nrersare, and they have nn more rightto spread orsonio on the walla of dwell-ings thau milkmen have tu plaoe it inthe milfc they sell—the milkmen wonldnever think of doing anything of thekind. Arsenic is well known to be acumulative poison, nnd men can no morebreathe it with safety, than they canswallow it with'safety, and it is inhaledby every one who makes nse of roomspapered with arsonio-ladon papor.Health is first destroyed, and then lifoia. lost, by inhaling the air of roomsthat are- poisoned in tbe papering.Women and ohildren, aa bping tho moredomustio, are tho greater sufforers.nars-ipg mothers and their babes arepeonl-iarly open to tho workings of the rook-ing poison that comes from beautifulWftUB_;
'J.'fce tu»V«/iJ JUazoeJiOsi- <A fjMwe pr.t»veuto their labors from being utilizedfor the. bene%t of inankand. They cannot be bred and kept together; Fouror five thousand being distributed incells, fifty in some, one or two hundredin others, the big oDea soon killed andate the smaller ones, »o thafin a Bhorttime there were scarcely, above ore ortwo left in each cell; 'and to thiB incli-nation of devouring then1 own species ieattributed the Boarcity of spiders, whencompared with the vast number of eggsthe; lay. It is also affirmed that theweD of the spider is inferior in strengthand lustre to the silkworm, and pro-duces less of the material lit for use.The thread ot the spider's web oan onlybear a weight of two grains" withoutbreaking; and the bag Buskins theweight of thirty-six grains. The threadof a silkworm will bear two grains anda half, so that five threads of tlie spiderare necessary to form a cord equal tothat of a silkworm ; and as it would beimpossible to apply these so closelytogether as to avoid leaving any emptyspace, tram whioh the light would notbe refloated, the lustre, would conse-quently be considerably less, BpiderBafford less silk than silkworms, the workof twelve only equaling that of one silkworm ; a pound of eilk will,«qpiTe"Tifleast twenty-seven thousand," six hun-dred and forty-eight spiders. But asthe bags are solely the work of thefemales, who spin them to deposit theireggs in, there must be kept flfty-^vethousand, two hundred and ninety-sixspiders to yield one pound of silk ; audthis will-apply to the good ones only,the spiders in gardens barely yielding atwelfth port of the Bilk of the domestickinds ; two hundred and eighty of themwould not produce more than one silk-worm, and six hundred and sixty-threethousand, five hundred and ilfty-fivesuch spiders would scarcely yield apound of silk ! From this it trill be seenthat the manufacture of spider silk is udiffloult and most impossible) under-taking.
Lost Her Head.
A Boston letter says: Every oiie knowsthat among all the rest of our Bohoolsfor Women, thero are ample means,now for a woman who seeks to become aphysician to make herself familiar withall the principles of practice and all thosecrets of medioine and snrgery. Ayoung Studont who lias pursued herstudies up to a» certain point in anothercity came to Boston last winter and pro-oeeded to visit a certain dissecting roomto which she had been invited. Mount-ing the Btairs, Bhe &t last comes to thelanding, from whioh opens the apart-ment where the wonders of the humanframe are, materially'at leaBt, all foundout. Waiting to catoh her breath, per-haps to catch her courage, she over-bears the following frobi ^he ^jnysicianiu attendance upon the.class: "Theroare not enough heads to go round.Some of you must ohooeo somethingelec." The listener'turned pale andleaned against the wall. She thoughtshe wouldn't pay her visit that day.Bhe thought she would go home andperhnpB study a little further and ap-iroaoh the dissecting room a little mole
gradually. As she turned to carry thisresolution into effect, she met tho jani-tor of the building, who -was evidently,familiar with visitors aud students in,this stage and state of mind, for he sail),enconragingly, "If you'll wait a minuto,ruins, you'll be all right. They all of'em feels this way at the first' atart."But " miss" didn't wait thnt day.
