TnesJay night was a dismal, dreary
season. Long before miduight rain
commenced falling, and from that time
till morning there was a constant driz
ele, varied with honvy, benting showers.
It was just the kind of night for the
operations of thieves and burglars.
Everybody that had a shelter sought it,
unless he' had urgent business. Those
who inhabit the Union Depot can
scarcely be said to have a abetter, but
they took the nearest thing to it that
they had, and after midnight the scene
presented a quiet scene of dreariness.
George Bradley and Richard Collier, in
charge of the Adams Express office at
the depot, turned into their bunks, as
usual, soon after 1 o'clock in the morn
ing, having transacted their businees
with the midnight trains. The double
doors of the office, which open outside cf
the depot, were fastened merely with a
bolt, which was fastened to one door by
moans of nails and extended into tho
socket of the other door perhaps an inch.
It was subsequently discovered that the
bolt had been strained and the nails
started, by .pushing troui the outside in
such a manner that tho fastenings gave
way and the doors swung open. Mr.
Collier believes that he and Mr. Bradley
did not go to Bleep till about 1:1 3. On
the arrival of the train from Cincinnati,
at 2:35, Bradley and Collier did not
make their appearance as usual, and the
guard was sent to ascertain the cause,
lie found the doors of the office ajar, and
entering discovered the occupants sound
asleep, and various papers, tico., strewed
on the floor. He endeavored to rouse
Mr. Bradley, but failed, and then turned
to Mr. Collier. The room was thorough
ly chloroformed, and it was not until
after repeated exertions that Mr. Collier
was aroused ; the thief, or thieves, had
evidently administered chloroform to
him' first, for the sponge used was found
near the face of Mr. Bradley. Finally
both were aroused, when it was ascer
tained that the keys of two safes had
been taken trom Mr. Bradley's pocket
and the safes opened. Four sealed
pouches containing iiioney had been
taken out ; one of tboui had becu opened
by breaking through tho settl, but the
others were cut, the rascals doubtless
considering the regular method too slow.
The amount of money takun is believed
to be over $00,000 ; the exact amount
cannot be ascertained without the bills.
About $21,000 of the money was for the
paymaster of the Baltimore and Ohio
liailroad at Cumberland, and several
thousand for a Pan-IIandle paymaster.
The chloroform was so effectual that the
sufferers still felt the effects on their sys
tems yesterday. Ohio Statesman, May 18.
Marooning in Florida.
The Richmond Dixpatch has the fol
lowing from Florida : In the spring
and summer many people go marooning
in Florida. It means to go out into the
woods and camp with the whole family,
to fish and hunt and amuse yourself
generally under the tents or huts to
lead a wild-woed-life, and enjoy a little
of savageness with all the appliances of
civilization.
The whole family and the neighbors
will gather, and generally go to some
island on tho coast, taking guns and
fishing tackle, boats, dogs, servants,
cooking utensils and some food, lest the
hunter might be unsuccessful, and
camp out for some weeks.
An island is generally selected, be
cause it is more a fishing than a hunt
ing party, and then an island is lees like
ly to be disturbed by snakes and wild
cuttle. The wild cattle of Florida are
really wild animals ; they will attack a
man on foot, or break into a camp, and
give trouble just like other wild ani
mals. An island can be searched at
once to see if there are any bears or
wild cattle on it ; snakes can be destroy
ed und every thing prepared for the wo
men and children, so that they may be
left in safety during the absence of the
hunters. Tents are put up or shelters
made of the palmetto. This palm will
make a stout thatch, the long stems
are fastened with bear-grass strings to
poles, and a shelter made that will en
dure for many seasons. If 6nakes are
feared, hummocks are swung between
tho trees, a tiro lighted and kept burning
day and night, and cooking and house
keeping go on.
If it is an old camping or marooning
ground, a garden and orchard of oranges
will have been already established;
and not only oranges, but grapes, ba
nanas, potatoes, arrow-root and other
vegetables will be already found grow
ing. At any rate, the cabbage-palm
and the nianive will furnish vegetables,
the hunters meat and fish, and the sup
plies from home afford coti'eo und bread.
A wild ox killed will furnish beef; salt
can be made by boiling sea water, and a
jolly time generally can be had if the
party are disposed for it. The hunters
bring in their game, the fishers the result
of net, rod and spear ; coffee and bread
are already made, fruit is gathered, and a
good supper is enjoyed, then to sleep in
the hammocks, and to-morrow for more
sport.
Such an open-air life will bring color
to the cheek of disease, and chase away
low spirits and dyspepsia. Such a lifu
can be enjoyed marooning in Florida.
A Weasel Family.
No one would think, on seeing a
weasel for the iirBt time, that the grace
ful, slender, little animal, with its brown
black, pretty white throat, funny face,
and sparkling eyes, was such a fierce,
bloodthirsty creature. But that little
head is full of murderous designs, and
has the courage of a giant. Kats and
mice are everwhere hunted out and de
stroyed by the weasel It inflicts a bite
on the head which pierces the brain, and
seldom fails to lay the victim dead at its
feet by one stroke. The weasel is also
the destroyer of newly hatched chickens
and young ducks, us well as of the
smaller feathered tribe ; and although
it does good service in keeping down the
mice, it is a bad neighbor to the hare
and rabbit-warren. It is a most active
and persevering hunter; few trees will
btop it when in search of bird's nests,
which it robs, not only by sucking the
eggs, but by oarrying off the young.
Its sense of scent is exceedingly strong,
so that it hunts more by its nose than
by its eye. The perseverance of weasels
will tire down animals larger and
stronger than themselves ; nor will
water stop them, when their game takes
to it for safety. In they plunge, and
seldom quit their object till the fatal
bite is inflicted. They are supposed by
some to suck the blood of their victims
till they bleed to death.
Here, in an old oak in a lonely wood,
we discover the house of a family of
weaaols. The mother has been absent
for some time ; she has been on an ex
pedition to provide food for her young,
who by their squeaks and grants, are
making known tne hunger from which
they are suffering. Now, with long
jumps the old one is returning, holding
a dead Bparrow by the wing in her
mouth. What a pretty sight is this
graceful, yet strongly made little ani
mal I Her little black tail is quivering
with excitement, and her body, with its
constant twists and curves, may be com
pared to that of a snake. The weasel
mother has just uttered a sound which
is well known to all her family, and acts
like a charm upon them. Six images of
their mother in miniature now appear
from different hollows and rents in the
old tree, and surround the mother with
every sign of delight at her return, and
at the nioe meal she has brought them.
The ermine, a more beautiful and
valuable animal, is of the same family
as the weasel. Both change their coats
in winter, when they become quite
white. The ermine, however, has al
ways a little black tail about two inches
long. Their winter coats are much
thicker, and with longer hair than their
Rummer ones.
Escape from the ( uillol In.
The scenes at present enacting in
Paris necessarily remind one of the still
more terrible scenes of eighty years ago,
when the guillotine played so important
a part. The story of the singular es
cape of De Chateaubrun is told in the
Memoirs of M. do Yaublane as follows :
A nobleman, named M. de Chateau
brun, having been condemned to death
by the revolutionary tribunal, had been
placed on the fatal tumbril and taken
to the Place de la Revolution to be put
to death. After the " Iteign of Terror "
he was met by a friend, who gavo a cry
of surprise ; and, scarcely able to believe
the evidence of his senses, asked De
Chateaubrun to explain the mystery of
his appearance. The explanation was
given, and I heard it from his friend.
He was taken away with twenty oth
er unhappy victims. " After twelve or
fifteen executions," he said, "one part
of the horrible instrument broke, and a
workman was sent for to mend it. M.
de Chateaubrun was, with tho other
victims, near the scaffold, with his hands
tied behind his back. The repairing
took a long time. The day began to
darken ; the great crowd of spectators
were far more intent on watching the
repairing of the guillotine than on look
ing at the victims who were to die ; and
all, even the gendarmes themselves, had
their eyes fixed on the scaffold. Re
signed, but very weak, the condemned
man leant, without meaning it, on those
behind him ; and they, pressed by the
weight of his body, mechanically made
way for" him, till, gradually, and by no
effort of his own, he came to the last
ranks of the crowd. The instrument
once repaired, the execution began
again, and they hurried to the end. A
dark night concealed both executioners
and spectators. Led on by the crowd,
De Chateaubrun was at first auinzsd at
his situation, but soon conceived the hope
of escaping. He went to the Champs
Elysees, and there, addressing a work
man, told him, laughingly, that some
joking comrades had tied his hands be
hind mm and run oft with his hat. lie
begged the man to cut the cords, and
the workman did so, laughing all the
while at the joke. Chateaubrun then
proposed to treat at a neighboring wine
Bhop. Afterwards he got the workman
to carry a note to one of his friends,
whom he knew would send him a hat.
The workman did so, and soon returned,
accompanied by Chateaubrun's friend,
who furnished him with hat, money,
and all he required."
A Plucky Chicago Girl.
The Toledo Commercial tells tho fol
lowing story. " A German girl, ap
parently about 2j years of age, named
Christina Zent, passed through this city
yesterday, en route for New York city,
where Bhe expects to meet and marry
her lover, Henri Gorzman, who is ex
pected to arrive by steamer from Ger
many to-morrow. The girl said she had
engaged herself to Henri four years ago
in the Fatherland, but neither had tho
means to go to keeping house, so the
ceremony of marriage was deferred until
fortune should smile upon them, und
each began to devote every penny
earned to the accomplishment of the de
sired object.
Soon after Christina's people came to
this country and settled near Chicago,
where they now are, having amassed
quite a competency from the saloon bus
iness and the manufacture of Limburg
er cheese. Just as Christina had got
everything ready for her Henri, ho was
called out as a soldier, and at the fight
be fore Metz he received a shot in the
left arm which caused it to be ampu
tated. He applied for and receivod a
discharge, and as soon us he was able to
travel, she sent him money to pay his
passage to New York, and now goes to
meet him, marry him, and conduct him
to Illinois, where a partneiship in her
father's business awaits him. She in a
bright, pretty looking lass, and no
doubt will make Henri a good wife.
Such pluck as she has exhibited is not
an every-day occurrence, and brings to
mind, " How many American girls
would have acted as she has done '("
Bought His Own Boots. They tell
a good story of an old-fashioned miser :
He was never known to have anything
in the line of new apparel but once ;
thon he was going on a journey, and
bad to purchase a new pair of boots.
The stage left before day, and so he got
ready and went to the hotel to stop for
the night. Among a whole row in the
morning he could not find the old fa
miliar pair. He had forgotten the new
ones; he hunted and hunted in vain.
The stage was ready, and so ho looked
carefully round to see that he was not
observed, put on a nice pair that fitted
him, called the waiter, aud told him the
circumstances, giving him ten shillings
for the owner. The owner never called.
The miser had bought his own boots.

Salmon-Flsllng.
The salmon, to which the inhabitants
of the British Isles have given the
epithets, noble" and " royal," because
it is a fish which affords the highest de
gree of sport in angling, was once so
common that in England, less than a
hundred years ago, it was necessary to
guard, by a clause in indentures, against
feeding apprentices with it more than
two days in the week. At the begin
ning of the present century our own
rivers teemed with this delicious fish ;
but, owing to the absence of suitable
game laws, it has become so rare that
the very rivers where it was formerly
most abundant have to be restocked by
artificial means. This enterprise has
been carried on with great zeal in some
of our States, and it will not be many
years before this royal fish will be again
plentiful in our waters. Meanwhile the
rivers of our northern neighbors, which
teem with salmon, can be leased by such
sportsmen from the States as choose to
overbid their Canadian friends, by whom,
it should be added, they are always
warmly welcomed aud liberally treated.
Applications for the lease of Canadian
rivers should be made, says Mr. Genio
C. Soott, in his interesting work in
" Fishing in American WaterB," to tho
Minister of Marine and Fisheries, at
Ottawa, the rivers being let either in
whole or in parts, each part permitting
the use of a certain number of rods, gen
erally four. Parties making application
should state what number of rods they
desire to accommodate, and on which
side of the St. Lawrenoe they prefer a
river. The leases of fluvial parts of
rivers vary from two hundred to six
hundred dollars a year for from three to
eight rods, the leases to run for nine
years. Canoes and provisions are cheap,
and sport plentiful and exciting. Mr.
hcott gives as the score of hve weeks
fishing in a certain Canadian river, 279
salmon, weighing nearly 3,116 pounds.
The only annoyances are the mosquitoes
and flies : but with proper care the gen
uine sportsman can atl'ord to laugh at
such trifles.
How L ad Pencils are Made.
Tho Technologist Bays : " How few who
are artists, engineers or architects, know
the difficulty of obtaining a really good
pencil, or rather a set of accurately
graded pencils suitable to the various
requirements of drawing ! And yet, how
still fewer ara they who know tho history
of the manufacture of that most useful
instrument of art. It is now nearly half
a century since there lived in the city of
Dublin a Jew, named Cohen, who was
possessed of a knowledge ot pencil-mak
ing, which gave his name pre-eminence
among artists and draughtsmen in that
day. He kept strictly secret his mode of
preparing the materials, and even the
materials themselves, and shut himself
up in a small room, which was his labora
tory, having communication through a
funnel with the work-shop, where his
sons prepared the grooved sticks of cedar,
passing them in to him, and receiving
tiiem back, charged and ready for finish.
All was mystery as to tho material, yet
the pencils of every grade were of extra
ordinary good quality, so much so, that
the stamp of " Cohen, Charlemont Mall,
Dublin,' was the assurance of a perfect
article. Jealous of this secret, lest it
might by some means get out, tho old
man withheld it oven from his sons, say
ing that he would put them in possession
of it before he died. But his life being
suddenly terminated, the secret was lost,
and, although the sons tried to carry on
the manufacture, the Cohen pencil was
no longer a desirable article, and the
sons, emigrating to this country, turned
their thoughts to- water-color making.
Numerous pencil-makers tried the mar
ket after Cohen, amongst whom were
Akermun, Langdon, Crosby, and the
company called the" Cumberland."
Importance of Exercise.
Without the regular exercise of the
body, health cannot be maintained ; the
body becomes weak, the countenance
pale and languid, and the spirits de
pressed und gloomy. Regular bodily
exercise, on tho contrary, creates a
healthy appetite, invigorates the powers
of digestion, causes sound and refresh
ing sleep, a freshness of tho complexion,
and cheerfulness of the spirit ; it wards
olf disease, und tends to preserve the
vigor of both mind and body to an ad
vanced age. During the winter season,
active exercise in tho open air preserves
the warmth of the body and renders it
less susceptible to the influence or cold,
and less dependent for its comfort on
artificial heat. The periods of the day
best adapted to exercise are, early in tho
morning, and toward the close of the
day. Walking is tho most beneficial and
most natural exercise, becauso in the
erect position, every part of the body is
free from restraint, while by the gentle
motion communicated to each portion
of it, in the act of walking, free circula
tion is promoted. Next to walking, rid
ing on horseback is the kind of exercise
to bo preferred. Many other species of
exercise may bo considered as contribut
ing to the support of healt h as work
ing in tho garden or in the fields, run
ning, leaping, dancing and swimming.

The Envelope Kulsancc.
An envelope containing a letter writ
ten by one who has the small-pox may
communicate the dreadful disease.
A man's heart may sink within hiny
if, while struggling to get a foothold in
the world, he calls at the post-oflice for
a letter, and is handed one with n law
yer's address printed in one corner. Re
spectable lawyers do not need to pub
lish their vocation in order to get busi
ness. But of all tho inconsiderate, ruthless,
foolish, hypocritical, dangerous, and
cruel devices, none exceeds that of send
ing letters with a black border around
them " mourning envelopes." Scarcely
a reader but will confess to an uudefina
ble uneasiness, if not an actual shock, to
be kept up until the letter is opened,
and the name at the bottom deciphered.
The very sending of a mourning letter
to any one is a barbarity, a brutality, a
hypocrisy, and a lie. True grief detests
display ; the deeper the sorrow, the
more intense is the desire to shun obser
vation, to shrink within itself, to shut
out all creation. The world over, the
men who mourn the loudest for their
lost wives, are in the greatest haste to
get married again. None is happier
than the extravagant heir, whose father
had just died, and left him untold thou
sands; his envelope will have black
borders a foot broad for the next ten
years.
A poor woman, whose husband was at
tho " front " during the war, has been
threatened by her landlord to be turned
out of doors next day, unless the rent
was paid ; she had been anxiously look
ing for a remittance from her brave
husband, but it did not come; in the
early morning, before she had left her
bed, her babe at her side, there was a
knock at the door. " There's the land
lord," she exclaimed, and the next in
stant was a corpse. An emotion kills.
This was an emotion of apprehension,
and countless numbers of these, with
pangs only a little less fatal, are use
lessly occasioned every day in many a
trembling heart, in many a nervous
temperament, by this same sending of
" mourning envelopes." Header, if you
have a spark of true humanity, you will
never send another. Hall's Journal of

Young America nt tho Wheel.
A well-known clergyman was crossing
Lake Erie some years ago upon ono ot'
the lake steamers, and seeing a small
lad at the wheel steering the vessel, ac
costed him as follows :
" My son, you appear to be a small
boy to steer so largo a boat."
" Yes, sir, was tho reply : " but you
seo I can do it, though."
" Do you think you understand your
business, my son 'r
" Yes, sir ; I think I do."
"Can you box the compass '("
" Yes, sir."
" Let me hear you box it."
The boy did as he was requested, when
the minister said :
"Well, really, you can do it! Can
you box it backward '("
" les, sir.
" Let me hear you."
The boy did again as requested, when
tho minister remarked :
" I declare, my son ! You do seem to
understand your business."
The boy then took his turn ut ques
tion asking, beginning :
" Pray, sir, what might be your busi
ness '"
" I am a minister of tho Gospel."
"Do you understand your business V"
" I think I do, my sou."
" Can you say the Lord's Prayer '("
Yes."
' Bay it."
The clergyman did so, repeating the
words in a very fervent maimer, as
though trying to make an impression on
the lad.
" Well, really," said the boy upon its
conclusion, " you do know it, don't you '
Now say it backward."
" Oh ! I can't do such a thing as that.
Of course "
"You can't do it, eh'r" jetuined tho
boy. " Well, then you seo I understand
my business a great deal better than you
do yours."

How to Know the Age of a House.
Tho colt is born With twelve grinders ;
whon four front teeth have made their
appearance, the colt is twelve days old j
and when the next four come forth it is
four weeks old. When tho corner teeth
appear the colt is eight months old ; when
the latter have attained to the height of
the front teeth it is ono year old. Tho
two-year old colt has the kernel (the
dark s'ubstunce iu tho middle of the
tooth's crown) ground out of all the
front teeth. In the third year the
middle front teeth are being shifted ;
and when three years old these are sub
stituted by tho horso teeth. The next
four toeth are shifted in the fourth year,
and the corner teeth in tho fifth. At
six years the kernel is worn out of the
lower middle front teeth, and tho bridle
teeth have now attained to their full
growth. At seven years a hook has
been formed in the corner teeth of the
upper jaw, the kernel of the teeth at the
middle fronts is worn out, the bridle
teeth begin to wear off. At eight years
of age the kernel is worn out of the
lower front teeth and begins to decrease
in the middle upper fronts. In the
ninth year the kernel has wholly disap
peared from tho upper middle front
teeth, tho ho.ok on the corner teeth has
increased in size, and tho bridle teeth
lose their points. In the tenth year the
kernel is worn out of the teeth next to
the middle front of tho upper jaw ; and
in the eleventh year tho kernel has en
tirely vanished from tho corner teeth of
the same jaw. At twelve years old the
crown of all the front teetn in the lower
jaw has become triangular, and the bri
dle teeth are much worn down. As the
horse advances in age, tho gums shrink
away f:-am the teeth, which, consequent
ly, receive a long narrow appearance,
and their kernels have become meta
morphosed into a darkish point, grey
hairs increase in the forehead, over the
eye?, and the chin assumes the form of
an angle. Journal of the Farm.
Ameliorating: Effecis of Cultiva
Tiox. There is scarcely a vegetable
wo at present employ that can be found
growing naturally. Buffo 11 states that
our wheat is a factitious production,
raised to its present condition by the art
of agriculture, liiee, rye, barley, or
even oats, are not to be found wild
that is to say, growing naturally in any
nart of the earth, but havo been altered
by the industry of mankind, from plants
now resembling them, in such a degree
as to enable us to recognize their rela
tions. The acrid and disagreeable Apium
gravcolen has been transformed into a
delicious celery j and the colewort, a
plant of scanty leaves, not weighing al
together nan au ounce, lias been im
proved into cabbage, whose leaves alone
bear many pounds, or into a cauliflower
of considerable dimensions being only
the embryo of a few buds, which, in
their natural state, would not have
weighed as many grains. The potato,
sgsin, whose introduction has added
millions to our wealth, derives its origin
from tt small and bitter root which grows
wild in Chili and Montevideo. If any
of our readers are skeptical upon tho
subject ot sucu metamorphosis, let them
visit the fairy bower of horticulture,
and they will perceive that her magic
wund has not only converted the tough
coriaceous covering of the almond into
the soft and melting flesh of the peach.
but that by her spells the sour aloe hus
ripened into the delicious plum, and the
austere crab ot our woods into tho gold
en pippin. That this, again, has been
made to sport in almost endless variety,
emulating in beouty of form and color,
in exuberance of fertility and richness
of flavor, the productions of warmer
regions and more propitious climates.

There havo been recently found u race
of wild creatures in Borneo whose exis
tence would seem to carry out tho theory
of gradual development and creation ad
vanced by Darwin, and believed by so
many 01 tne most advanced tnmkers
of the day. Kindred varieties have
also been discovered in the Philli-
pine Islands, iu Terra del Fuego, und in
feouth America. V e learn from an arti-
cle of " Barbarianism and Civilization,"
in the Atlantic Monthly, that these crea
tures "walk usually, almost erect on
two legs, and in that attitude measure
about tour feet m height. Thev con
struct no habitation, form no families,
scarcely associate together, sleep in caves,
or trees, feed on snakes and vermin,
ants' eggs, on mice, and on each other.
They cannot be tamed or forced to any
labor, aud are hunted and Bhot among
the trees like the great Gorilla, of which
they are a stunted copy. When they
ara captured alive, one finds with sur
prise that their uncouth jabbering tounds
like articulate language. They turn up
a nuuian tace to gaze at their captor,
and females show instinct of modesty.
and, iu hue, these wretched beings are
men.

any apparatus as sensitive to atmospherio
Changes as the human frame, it is
therefore of vital importance to guard
it against the effect of variations in the
weather, and experience has demon
strated that Dr. Walker's Vinegar
Bitters is the best medicine for this
purpose at present known. If taken as
a protection against the disturbing in
fluence of sudden alternations of heat
and cold, it will certainly prevent the
oowel complaint, levers, bilious disor
ders, rheumatic iiffecuons, aud throat
diseases, arising from these causes.
