THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBUBG, COLUMBIA COUNTY PA. Knit of tit rmoo TTr Ship Ilrooklju. The decision to sell the Brooklyn, tin der tbo regulation prohibiting tho repair of vessels that will cost more than a fixed percentago of tho expense of con (tructlng new ohm, will strike from the naval register a historic craft. Built a little over thirty years ago In the city from which eho took her namo, the Brooklyn began her career under Fnrra gut m her captain. She rnado n flue record in the civil war, Including not only plenty of blockading, but participa tion In many of the great naval battles, among them tins engagement with Forts Jackson and St, Philip, the fight In Mo bile bay and tho bombardment of Fort FLiher. In these battles sho was conspicuous for close work with the enemy. At tho great Mississippi river fight she was rammed by tho Confederate armorctad Vmulaum, but escaped without Injury, and immediately drove the barbetto gun ners from Fort St. Philip by her tremen dous fire. Sho was the flagship of the squadron that went further up the river and received tho surrender of Baton Rouge and Natchez. At Fort Fisher sho led the first line of vessels In the second and successful attack, and in the earlier operations had set a good example to soma smaller vessels. Now she meets the fato of many another relio of tho war, but fortunately the still more re nowned Hartford and Kearsarge remain. New York Times. A nemnrfcnbU Dream. A happy octogenarian, ready to de part in peace, very recently related to the writer tho following experience. When a young man he was examining, with intense interest, tho ovidenecs of tho inspiration of tho Bible. This led him to a careful reading of infidel objec tions, some of which greatly troubled him; and retiring one night, after wake ful hours of anxious thought, he fell asleep. lie dreamed that he was at sea in a storm, tho billows about to engulf the ship, on tho deck of which were stored all tho Bibles accessible to him. And suddenly aimo a mighty wave, which, with the boom it swept across that deck, bore from it every sacred vol urns into the wild waves. Tho shock of the disaster awakened him in a persplra. tlon from his agonizing agitation over the loss forever of the living oracles, to seo tho very Bible ho had read a few hours before lying upon the table near, reflecting brightly the light of the un clouded moon. His grateful surprise brought to his relief a flood of tears. While having no superstitious regard for dreams, he said, "From that experience I have no unrest or passing doubt of the divine authority of the holy-Bible." was certainly an impressive illustration of what we all have had clear and deep impressions made in "dreams and visions of the night." Congregationalist. The Xjind of Scott. The chief impression a stranger la likely to get from his first visit to Scot land is that it was discovered, if not cre ated, by Walter Scott. Wherever he goes, whatever he sees, Highland and lowland, lake and stream, gray ruin, and green glen, that potent spirit is lord and master of all. There is nothing quite like it, I think, elsewhere; no other land on which, the genius of one man has written his namo so deep. Greece still cherishes the memory of Byron, and few Englishmen, at least, who travel those haunted shores are likely to forget that be owed to them his best poetry and gave them In return his life. But Byron s is, after all, but one of the many memories that throng that marvelous land. In Scotland all seems Scott. There Nature and Man, the Present and the Past, all seem to speak to as with his voice; and take the most part of their beauty and their glory from him. The Bruce and the Douglas,, Cavalier and Covenanter, noble and moss trooper they start from their graves at every turn to the call of the Qreat Magician.

It is a matter of comment, almost in variably, by travelers in the Spanish' American countries, that in every settle ment o( importance there are usually several very aged persons who aro at least 100 years old, and often more. The census of Chili, taken in 1885, furnishes Bome interesting statistics relative to the longevity of the human race. In the twenty-three provinces of Chili there were found to be in excess of 101 years of age 211' men and S78 women. One man, Rafael JIunoz, of Colchagua, was returned as 150 years of age. There was one woman 138 years old; 1S5 years, man, 2 women; 133 years, 1 man; 130 years, 1 man; 137 years, 1 woman; 125 years, 8 men, 4 women; 123 years, man; 123 years, 8 women; 131 years, 8 women; 120 years, 8 men, women; 119 years, 2 women; 118 years, 2 men, S women; 117 years, 1 woman; 110 years, U men, 3 women 115 years, 13 men, 13 women; 114 years, 1 man, 4 women; lis years, 8 men, women; 113years, 0 men, 8 women; 111 years, 0 men, 6 women; 110 years, 38 men, 03 women; 109 years, 5 men, women; 103 years, 6 men, 13 women ' 107, years,. S men, 8 women; 100 years, 10 men, 8 women; 105 years, 83 men, 87 women; 101 years, 13 men, 15 women 103 yearsj 15 men, 25 women; 103 years, 18 men, 23 women; 101 years, 10 men X women. It would appear from the foregoing that the women of Chill are not averse to giving their true ages, or else some of them must bn as old as She. If a woman in tho United States acknowledged that ehe cad passed her 188th birthday, would be a fair inference to set her true ag down at not less than 250 summers, San Francisco Alta. GroVlDg- Waiklnr Sticks. Walking sticks are to a great extent imported into England from abroad. TI number received from other countries reaches nearly 5,000,000 annually, with a oomoinea vaiue or xzo,ouu or so. Com raooer sticks, as those of beech, ash thorn and hazel, are to a great extent grown in this country. In Gloucester. hire, for instance, many acres are de voted to no other purpose than the rais ing or wood tor the walking stick market. X peculiar branch of this business is the importation of overgrown cabbage stalks from the Channel Islands, where cab bages are regularly trained with a view to being transformed into walking stick by a process of stripping off each leaf at it appears, and finally drying and harden ing the stems.

Snow fell in November 1815, but there was nono in December to speak of. Christmas and New Year wore warm, open and green. Tho ppoplo predioted all sorts of dire calamiiivs. and the re sult would seem to justify it. Janu ary, 1816, was a very mild month. Tbe sun shone nearly every day, and a little snow that fell hardly covered the earth and soon melted. People prepared for storms and extreme cold weather in February, but wore disap pointed, as it was even milder than January, March gave place to cold and boisterous winds. And the summer of 1816 has been referred to by contem poraneous writers as tho year without a summer. Snow and ice prevailed every month. April grew colder as the diys passed, ending with snow and ico and very low temperatures. In May ico formed an inch thick in the streams. Buds and flowers were killed except in a fow inslancs. Farmers built log fires around their corn fields during tho frosty nights. Tno heat and smoke moderated the chilly atmos phere and saved their corn crop. Frost, too and snow were common in June, and all attempts to raise vegetable pro ducts failed. Tbo condition of the farmeiB is desoribed as being desper ate. About five inches of snow fell when tho ryo had been in head. S imo farmrs took long ropes with a man holding at each ond and walked through tho field of rye, draggling tho ropu to strip off the suow from the stalks and head of ryo.
