A Winter Wedding. It fled sway in a clang of bells, Marriage halls, On the wings of the blast that sinks and swells That bold. weak, fate-struck. suffering soul. Whom Christ wash clean, and Ood make whole! And wo stand in Uie light of tws happy faces, Two happy hearts whom oui heart embraces; And we hear the peaceful organ's sound. And the angry storm sweeps harmless round j Blessed is the bridegroom though the heavens are dun ; Blessed is the bride whom no sun shines ou. Mayhap, some wandering angels say, Stop and say. As through the ghxim they carry away That bodiless spirit to Him who knows- - He only—whither the spirit goes ; " ood give them all that the dead man lacked (As men dare judge turn) in thought, word, act; Leet earth's doors opened, shut doors of heaven." Blessed is the bridegroom without crown or land; Blessed is the bride with the ring on her hand. Peal, ye joy-bells, peal through the rain, Blinding rain: God makes happtasss, God makes pain. Bummer and Winter a good tree grow*. A strong soul strengthens through weal and woes. " Be not afraid, "says the wild sobbing wuid ; " Weeyv" sigh the clouds, "but the blue is be hind." Blessed is the bridegroom under shower or sun. Blessed is the bride whom love's light shines on. Farm, Garden and Household. A Kw Ka|laait fSlHia' t lab. A new organization in the interest of agriculture is proposed atul a convention for tlie purpooe of dtscusaiug the matter will soon be held in Boston. It is pro posed U give the organization the name of the New England Farmers' Club. The aim is to form a sort of farmers' exchange, in which information respect ing the condition and prospects of tho crops, the yield of tho harvest, as respects (particular crops, the condition of soil, of weather and of cultivation, etc., under which a specially notable crop mav have been produced, shall be gathered at a central point, and having been collated and put in proper shape for publication, shall be distributed by circulars, or through the newspapers from week to week or month to month. The anticipated utility of tlie scheme has a variety of phases, one of which is to prevent farmers from being fleeced of the just rewards of their labors by " middlemen." The exploits of the latter class are pretty generally the re sult of tlie possession of reliable infor mation on their part and a lock of it on the part of the farmers. For example : the speculator in hay will take pains to post himself up respecting the actual yield and the condition, whether well cured or otherwise, of the gTeat hay crop of the State of Maine. Ascertain ing in a particular season that that crop has been unusually small, or having been equal or more than the average gathered in bad weather, he feels con fident enough to moke a raid up the Connecticut valley, buying right and left at the farmers' prices. The hard handed producers, lacking explicit in formation from Maine, sell out their surplus crop, and find out, when too late, that these nimble gentry, who come and go by railroad, have been practically picking the farmers' pocket*. Another year the farmers of Maine may be the victims. This is only one point, however. Information respecting the modus operandi of a particular success, if it come st first hand and be circum stantially stated, may be of much value; otherwise not. What use is it, for ex ample. to publish in the newspaper, even if it be true, that a man in Canaan, N IL, lias raised a thousand bushels of onions to the acre, having sowed on the 10th of May the King Richard or some other notable variety of seed ? Another man a hundred miles away, next year, pnts in the same kind of seed on the corresponding day, and his crop proves not worth gathering. The information wanted, to be of value, is not only of the seed and the date, but the soil, the weather, the cultivation, the presence or absence of destructive insects, and, if present, how they were fought ofi, and, in fact, all the details. Now if a thousand farmers, more or less, scattered over New England be come members of the club, agree to contribute regularly exact information, getting their recompense in the process of reciprocation, the farming business may become a unit, as the lumber in terest, the lime interest, the coal inter est, or the like. The expense would be cluefly if not wholly the salary of a secretary, who, of course, would be constantly kept bnsy at head-quarters, watching the agricultural aspects of New England and reporting the proba bilities or the certainties, as the signal officer at Washington watches and re ports the state of the weather for tho benefit of the whole country. Vltwi of Feeding. I hare tried various experiments in feeding both cooked and uncooked feed, and am satisfied it will never pay a far mer to cook food for any kind of stock unless it may be hena. If I desired bens to lay in winter I should want them to eat potatoes, and a variety of other feed of similar nature, and would cook a fiart of the feed, but I should rely most- J on raw corn and oats, and should feed j the cooked food the same day it was cooked. The best success I ever had in feeding a hog was to get 3 J pounds of pork from 10 pounds of corn in the ear. This was a stag hog, four years old, of the Suf folk breed, one remove from the im ported stock. He was shut up in a close pen on the ground and fed 10 ponnds of corn a day, 100 days. I had a sow of the same age shut up on a Aoor beside him which I considered a better hog and larger. She was fed in the same way, and I got about 3 pounds of pork a day on this one, and have no doubt but I lust 100 pounds by her being on a Aoor. I also think that both wonld have done better by having larger quarters on the ground. My experience of 50 years in this line teaches that farmers often make three grave mistakes in the hog business ; Ist, In not having s good enough hog. 2d, In feeding too heavy. 3d, In confining in too close quarters. X would never feed a hog, weighing under 400, over 10 or 12 pounds of corn a day. I would never shut up a hog if I could let him have a 15 acre Aeld with water in it, alongside of a corn Aeld, with dry ground to feed ou.—C. S. Thompson. I>i*rn-il Potatoes. The extensive failure of the potato crop in Great Britain, in consequence of the prevalence of rust and rot, is a subject of grave moment, as bearing upon the welfare of the laboring classes, and a method of utilizing the diseased potatoes has been made public at the instance of the British Government. This depends upon the fact that the starch of the potato is not affected by the disease, hut retains its nutritive properties. The process consists in rasping the peeled tubers, upon a bread grater, into a tub of water. The starch sinks to the bottom in a few minutes, and the diseased matter, woody fiber, etc., are suspended in the water, and should be poured off with it. Fresh water is then to be added, and the starch stirred, and again allowed tosettle. Two or three such washings will thoroughly remove all impurities, and render the starch fit for use. If dried, it can be kept any length of time, and can be used like arrow-root, for puddings and cakes, or mixed with flour, as bread. How to Choose a Good Cow. The crumply horn is a good indica tion ; a full eye another. Her head should be small and short. Avoid the Roman nose; this indicates thin milk, and but little of it. See that she is dished in the face—sunk between the eyes. Notice that she is what stock men call a good handler—skin soft and loose, like the skin on the dog. Deep from the loin to the udder, and a very slim tail. A cow with these marks never fails to be a good milker. He who talks, sows; he who listens, reaps. The "Klitic* Krewr. M New Orlenn* in the only city i|i the United State* where the carnival in eel ebrnted with the true OKI World jollity nod spirit. The attempt to inaugurate similar festivities in Washington two years ago waa a wretched failure, nod the experiment ha* wiselv boon avoided in our Northern cities. 'This year New Orleans surpassed herself in'gorgeous revelry. The whole city was given up to grotesque and absurd sport, and the festivities closed with a grand proees nion and masquerade ball on a more magnificent scale of foolery than waa ever witnessed in that citv before. The proceasion, whimsically termed the " Mistick Krowe of Com us," repre sented in grotesque masquerade the " inissiug links " of the Darwinian the ory of the origin of species, and was ir resistibly laughable. It was followed by a grand ball at the St Charles The atre, in which those maaqucradcra Unik (>art. Previous to the daucing two striking tableau* were displayed on the stage. The first rising of ue cnrtaui revealed a scene at the bottom of the sea On the smooth ocean floor the groteaqip, the horrid, and t ie beautiful appearedin stranger contrast than they are ever revealed to the submarine di ver. The Anemone's beautiful form *w* blossoming beside the Sjamge ; the suowv Coral reached upward with its branching arms from where the Alliga tor lav ; the Snail was paving court to the glittering Periwinkle, the Ikilphiu was gauilKiling, the Crabs protesting, the Shark and Whale were holding council. It was a scene of universal subaqueous courtship. The Nettles were interchanging stinging kisses, and the Seal and Walrus, with other com petitors, were suing in vain the lovely Mermaid. She, seated on a rock, just lifted waist-high above the tide, awaited a higher destiny, a better match. Wheu the curtain rose on the second tableau the Gorilla had just been crowned, and was seated on his throne under s dais, with Chacoua on his right, and Orang, the Premier, on his lett. On either side of the bsoad ascent to the throne the animal and veg etable world were crowding toward the royal presence, each in the onlcr of his rank, the " Toileraof the Sea " kneeling in loval awe upon the pavement below. In tiie midst of the stair were three musicians—the Grasshopper with fiddle and bow, the Locust with his rattle, and the Beetle with his hammer. A pedestal on either hand bore the stat uc.-ume forms of the Baboon and the Marikitia. In front of the stage stood a regal fig ure, that of Comushimself, in " human form divine," presenting a startling contrast to tlie throng of " missing links" behind. For a moment the tableau waa presented to the admiring gaze of the great audience, then the curtain descended and the ball com menced. Executions by Hanging. Tlie gallows has been used so much of late through the United States as well ss other countries, and executions have been so bunglingly carried out in ! some instances, as to call public atten i tion to the matter. A correspondent ! savs in a New York paper : While this mode of "hanging" exists, I hold it should be accomplished with out needless torture. I would, there fore, recommend that, in the event of au approaching execution, the gibbet should be constructed on the principle of the fall, instead of the hoist. Some time ago, in Australia, I saw three crimi nals dropped from a height of six feet, and with the exception of a slight and momentary eouvulsion of the fingers by 1 one, none of theta ever moved a muscle. ■ The necks of all were dislocated, and, as I subsequently ascertained on dissec tion, the cervical bones, or vertebras, were actually torn asunder. The opera tion was superintended by tlie colonial j surgeon, who suggested to the execu tioner the proper method of fixing the noose BO that the neck might to a cer tainty be dislocated. The gentleman who discharged that duty was an old fellow-pupil with myself of Liston, the celebrated Scotch surgeon, forty-five years ago, and ho performed his painful task with strictlv scientific ability. The bodies were allowed to remain sus pended for half au hour, until all ves tige of life must have been effectually extinguished, and even then he only felt their pulses and placed his hand across their hearts to see that both had entirely ceased to beat before the bodies were lowered down. There was no such disgusting spectacle as I witnessed on the. occasion of the last execution in the Toombs, as the revolting Bight of abru tal ex-assistant coroner ordering the body to lie lowered within a few minutes of its elevation, in order that he, and some other calions professional friends, invited for the purpose, might place their ears to the breast of the unhappy victim, while his hands were still con vulsed with the agonies of death—con duct more revolting, if possible, than that of the London sheriffs and alder men, who, on the occasion of an execu tion, invariably retire to a costly break fast in the interior of the jail ou the fall of the drop, and there gormandize for six hours, on the expiriug of which the victim is cut down, when, of course, completely dead. A shark's Jaws. Perhaps one of the most formidable weapon possessed by any fish is the natural and terrible pair of shears form ed by the jaws of the shark. The only i parallel weapons of offense that can be ; cited as used by man wonld perhaps be j the spiked portcullis, but the future ! nvn ft present ns with steam shears, with , blades ten feet long, and intended to receive cavalry—who knows ? There is no telling where the ingenuityof modern inventors in the destructive line may lead us. But there are not msny instru ments so efficient for their purpose as the tooth of a shark. It la difficult to handle one freely without cutting one'a fingers ; and when we consider the tre mendous leverage of shark's jaws em ployed against each other like scissors, armed with rows of lancets, it is evident that nothing in the shape of flesh, gris tle, or bone, could withstand them. Their capacity, too, is equal to their powers, for a pair of jaws taken from a shark of not more than nine feet long has been known tube pass ed down over the shoulders and body of a man six feet high without incon venience. It was thought to be an act of very unusual strength and dexterity on the part of Emperor Commodua to cut a man in two at one blow, but the jaws of the white shark And no difficulty whatever in executing that feat. The vast number of teeth contained in a shark's jaw has been accounted for by some writers on the hypothesis that they are erected when the shark seizes its prey, at all other times lying Aat on their sides. It is now, however, more generally admitted that the shark only employs the outer row of teeth, and that the inner ones are a provision of nature against an accident which is, and must be, a very common one when the implements are considered, and the force with which they are employed—namely, the breaking of a tooth. In this case the corresponding tooth on the inside becomes erect, and is by degrees pushed forward into the place cf the broken one—a wondrous and very necessary provision to keep so ddicate and pow erful an apparatus as the shark's jaw always in order. MAT IT THET WAKT TO.— The United Statin Post-office department lias made an order that postmasters whose salaries do not exceed SI,OOO per annum maj ly permitted to hold local civil offices, such as probate judge, town clerk, etc. Here tofore the amount has been restricted to SOOO, and numerous instances hare come to the knowledge of the Department that real hardship would result if post masters were obliged to throw up that salary to hold little local offices.

THE ROTTEN CROSS. It ha* leen many a long day since then, yet I remember it all, just as though' it hat! occur ml but yesterday. I was a carpenter, the foreman of a large establishment, end ss such pos sessed the entire cum fide nee of my em ployer, who, by the way, had been a schoolmate of mine. One dsy he called me into his office to look at some rsre coins ho had just purchased. "Mere," said he, placing in mv hand a heavy gold piece, " is one wtiieh i* worth'more than all the rest put to gether. It is a great curiosity. 1 paid JCJOO for it, and considered It cheap at that. I could caaity double my money in selling ; and so you see Harvey, it in really a good investment." "No doubt it is," said I, " though it seems a Urge sum to have lie idle." 1 breathed au involuntary sigh as I laid the eoin down on the desk, tor £*JOO would have seemed a fortune to me just then. The severe illness of my wife, and one of my children, and the death of another made serious inroads on my purse, and it had required the exercise of the utmost economy to kesp mvself free from debt ; nay, I had been obliged to withdraw from the bank the small sunt, which, Itenidc* sty salary, was all 1 possessed of worldly treasures. Think ing of this. 1 laid the coin down with a sigh, and turned away to atteud to my duties. The next morning I was again sum moned into the office, but this time 1 met with no friendly greeting, as usual. " Harry," said my employer, abrupt ly, " that coin we were looking at has disappeared. 1 have made a thorough search, but it is not to lie found. It has been carried away by some one. Yon alone saw or knew of it, and—" He paused and looked significantly into my face. 1 finished the sentence for him, the hot blood dying cheeks and brow as I spoke. " You mean, therefore, that I took it -I r " What else can I think ? The coin was here ; ycu alone saw it, 1 cannot recall having seen it since it was in your hands. You are in need of money; yon have told me that yourself. It was a great temptation, aud I forgive you be cause of our old friendship, but 1 can not retain vou in mv employ. Here is the salary due you. A '• Very well," said I, with forced calmness, "so be it. Since you have so poor an opinion of me after years of faithful service, 1 shall not stoop to de feud invself." Then 1 took the money he had laid upon the desk, and weut out from his presence a well-nigh broken-hearted man. But for the tender love of my wife, I doubt not but that I would have buried my Borrows in the grave of a suicide. Supported by that love, however, and the consciousness of my own innocence, I took fresh courage, and set resolutely to work to find a new employer. But powerful is a breath of slander; turn which way I might, i ever found that the story of my dismissal for theft had preceded me, and my application for employment uniformly met w.tli a refusal. Time went on; piece by piece, our furniture, and every spare article of clothing, found its way to the pawn brokers, until, at length, even this p>or resource failed ns, and my children cried in vain for food. Y'et I did not sit down in idledespair; I could not afford to do so; the life or death of all I loved on earth dejwnded on my exertion—and so turning away from them with a heavy heart, I once more set out on the weary search for work. All in vain ! refusal after refusal met my entreaties for employment, and I was turning homeward with a listless step, when passing an immense church I was attracted by a group cf men ut its base. Impelled by some strange impulse, I approached and mingled with them. A workman was standing near by, looking tip at the great steeple, which towered aloft some 250 feet above them, while a gentleman, evidently au archi tect, was addressing him in earnest language and at the same time pointing toward the golden cross st the summit of tho spire. •' I tell you," he exclaimed, as I drew near, "it must and can bo done. The cross mast be taken down, or the first heavy gale will send it down into the street, and lives will be lost. Coward ! ia this the way you back out of a job after engaging to do it ?" " I didn't know the spire was so high up there. Do it yourself if you want it done !" " I would if I were able." said the architect. But go if you will ; let it be 1 My honor is pledged to have it done at any price—and I can find a braver man than yon to do it." The carpenter walked away witii a dogged, sloucliing stop, and tlie gentle man waa about to move away, also, when I stepped forward. " What is it you want done, sir !" I asked. "lam a carpenter ; perhaps 1 can do it." He turned eagerly toward me. " I will make it worth your while. Take down that cross and I will pay you a hundred dollars. You will have to ascend those ornamental blocks, and I tell you candidly they are not to be depended on ; they must be weak and rotten—for they have been there for years. I looked up at the spire ; it was square at the base and tapered to a sharp point, while along each angle were nailed small gilded blocks of wood. " It's a dangerous place to work," I said, " and there will be even more peril in descending than ascending. Suppose I succeed in moving the stone, and then—" "If any accident happens to Ton, my brave fellow, the money shall be paid to your family. I promiso you that. Give mo your address." " Here it is,'' I said, " and as you value vour soul keep your word with me. Sfy wife and children are starving, or I would not attempt this work. If I die tliev can live on the hundred dollars for a while until my sick wife recovers her strength." IH make it a hundred and Afty !" ex claimed the architect, " and may God protect you ! If I had the skill neces sary to ascend that steeple I would ask no man to risk his life there. But come, and keep a steady hand and eye." I followed him into the church, then up into thespire, until we paused before a narrow window. This was the point from which I must start on my perilous feat which I had undertaken. Casting a single glance at the people in the Btrect below—mere specks in the distance—l reached out from the window, and, grasping one of the orna mental blocks, swung myself out upon the spire. For an instant my courage faltered, but the remembrance of my starving family came to my aid, ana with a si lent prayer for protection and suc cess, I placed my hand on the next block above my head and clambered up. From block to block I went steadily and cautiously, trying each one ere I trusted my weight upon it. Two-thirds of the space had been passed, when suddenly the block that supported me moved—gave wav ! Oh ! heavens' 1 never, though I should live to see a hundred years, shall I cease to shudder at the recollection of that ter rible moment. Yet even in the midst of my agony, as I felt myself slipping backward, I did not for one second lose my presence of mind. It seemed to me that never before had my senses been so preternaturally acute as then, when a horrible death seemed inevitable. Down, down I slipped, grasping at each block as I passed it by, until at length my fearful course was arrested, and then, while my head reeled with the sudden reaction, a great shout came up from the people below. " Come down, come down 1" called the architect from the window ; " half the sum shall be yours, for the risk you have run. Don't try again! Come down." But, no! more than ever now I was determined to succeed. I was not one to give up, after having undertaken a difficult task. Coolly, but cautiously, I commenced the ascent once more, first seeking in vain to reach serosa to the next row of blocks, for 1 did not care to truat nty aelf again on that which had proved ao treacherous. Thia 1 waa compelled to do, however, until the apace between the angle* became sufficiently amall to allow me to awing across, Accomplish mg my purooao at length, 1 went ui> more rapidly, carefully Uniting eaon block aa t pri weeded. Ere long 1 reached the cross, and there 1 paused to rent, looking down from the diary height with a coolness that even then astonished mo. A few strokes with a light hatchet that the architect had hung at my back, and piece by in coo the rotten cross foil to Hid ground. My work was done, ami aa the last fragment disappeared, 1 found a sad pleasure in the thought that should I never reach the ground alive, my dear ones would have ample means to supply their want* until my wife could obtain employment. Had and cautioualv I lowered myself from block to block, and at length reached the spire window, amiilst the cheers of those assembled iu the street. Inside the steeple the architect placed a roil of bank notes in luv baud. "You have well earned the money," lie said. "It doea me good to see a man with ao much nerve -but— bless ma ! w hat ia the matter with your liair? It wa* black lw-/oreyouuitkdu the accent, now it is lyrtiv.*" And so it was! That moment of in tense agony, wlnle slipping helplessly downward, had blanched my hair nuftl it ap|>earcd like that of an old man. The work of years had been done iu an in.Hunt ! Uuteriug the bare, cheerless room which watt UMW all 1 called a home, 1 (ouiul a visitoj awaiting nie, my late employer. "UitnrT," said he. extending hit hand, "I hare done a great wrung. It ft tat mo a terrible pang to believe in your guilt, but eirrnmataiiece were o strongly against you, that f waa forced to believe it. I have found the coin, Harvey, it slipped under the Beeret drawer in my desk. Can you forgive me, nir dear old friend ?" My heart waa too full to apeak, I silently pressed hin hand. "1 will undo the wrong I have done. All the world ahall know 1 neeued you unjustly not through my wortla only, but through my artiona, "too. You must be uiv partner, llarvey. If you refuse I ahall feel that you have not forgiven me." 1 did not refuse. Instead, 1 thankful ly accepted the offer which my friend so generously made, kuowing that noatirer method could have been devised to si leuce forever tlie tongue of slander, and free my name from the unmerited re proach which had of late rested UJHIU it. Unmerited prosperity has attended my steps ever since that eventful day, but ueither prosperity or wealth can ef face its memory from my heart, nor re store mv withered loclui to their own raven hue. Fattening Young Women. Throughout the interior of Africa, and, indeed, in some part* of Ante, a woman ia prized for fatness. Beauty is associated with excessive oboaity ; and such being public sentiment, mothers seasonably commence a system of dtetic treatment tbst makes their daughters irresistible. Colonel Keating gives an account of the process of fattening young women for a Tunis market. Aa soon as betrothed, she is cooped up in a small room, with gold shackles on her ankles. If her proprietor ha* lost a wife by death, or divorced one, their anklets are sent forward for the new mat rimonial candidate. When she has at tained a desirable size, indicated br tilling the pattern rings, sho is carried in triumph to her new home. The preparations of food that actually produces the coveted dimension—moun tain of fatness—is called draught, made of the seed of a vegetable peculiar to this country. Some positively die from excessive fatness in an effort to surpass in that bewitcluug accomplishment rival candidates for matrimonial positions. These famous mortals are not the poor girls. They are the highest order* of society, and therefore are ambitious, like fashionables in some civilized States, of securing an elevated position with a rich husband. Bruce, the traveler, saw a grcjit queen in Africa—a gem of a woman, the envy of her acx and wife hunters- who weighed over four hun dred pounds. Can science explain the actions of those seeds philosophically ? Our Hundred Theneand Buffaloes Killed. The Danvrr (Col.) Xeirt state* thut j thd station of Dodge (.htv, on tlie Atchi son, Topcka and Santa )•' road, ia the principal |H>int of ahipmsntof thr buffalo meat and hides in Kansas. Thej t> rerr little besides outfit hunters, bar ter, and quarrel over Rime, extinguish disputes and dinputcr* at the point of j arms, and have lively tnnea generally. The arithmetic of the extinction of the bison of the Plains is terrible, and, if tho statistics be right, it would st em i that the flush times in meat and hides cannot last long. The railroad reached ' Dodge on the 23d of last September, and since that time 4.'1,<F29 hides have been i shipped, and in the same brief season 1,436,290 pounds of buffalo meat. Koch , hide counts a buffalo slain, and 4.1,000 hides in three monthn convey an idea of magnificent butchery that forecasts the speedy extinction* of the prairie denizen. The buffaloes that are killed in summer, or early autumn, in wanton cruelty, miscalled sport, and for food by the frontier residents, are not taken i into this account. The greater portion ' of this meat has been shipped to Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, and other ; Eastern cities. Tho above figures, though indicating an immense slough i ter, do not represent tho total of this season's hunt. The grand total for tho season of JH72-3, around Dodge, will ; probably reach 100,000 bend. Insurance Policies. An act regulating tho forfeiture of life insurance policies, now befors the legislature of New York, reads as fol lows : SECTION 1. No life insurance company doing business in tho Htatc of New York shall have power to lapse or de | elare forfeited any policy hereafter is sued by them, by reason of non-payment of premiums or interest, or any portion thereof, until the expiration of thirty days after such pavment of premium or interest becomes due, according to tho terms of the policy, nor shall any such company declare any policy forfeited unless a notice in writing, stating the amount of premium or interest due, and when duo on said policy, shall have been addresaeil and mailed bv the com pany isaning said policy to the insured at his last known post-office, not less than thirty nor more than sixty days before said payment becomes duo, ac cording to the terms of tho policy • nor then unless tho policy-holder shall fail to make such payment within tho said thirty days after tho same becomes due. HEC. 2. This act shall take effect im mediately. What a Change. Times have changed sine* 1f.24, when on issuing invitation's to a public din ner it was deemed necessary to lay down "rules to be observed by gentlemen" present on tho occasion. Old records bring to light the fact that in 1021 those officers who were invited to dine with tho Archduke of Austria were instructed by a circular of the royal chnml>rlnin how to conduct themselves at table. 1 They were directed to come neatly dress ed in coats and boots, and not to enter in a half-drunken condition. At tahle they were not to tilt up their chairs, nor rock themselves, nor stretch their legs at full length, nor drink after each mouthful, lest they got tipsy too soon, nor empty their goblets to the extent of more than one-lialf after each dish, and before drinking therefrom they should wipe their mouths and mustaches in a cleanly manner; neither were they to thrust their hands into dishes, or throw bones under the table, nor to fall from their chairs and make themselves incap able of walking straight.

Hincc tho aw ful sacrifice of life en tailed bv tbo loss at sen of tlio New York and New Orleans sUuihndiip Even ing Btnr, and the Liverpool and Now York steamer City of Boston, no sea tragedy baa occurred so terribly provo- I cativu of aympalliT in this community j as the wreck of the White Htnr line steamship Atlantic, bound for New York from Liverpool, which wcut ashore at Meagher s Head, near Cape I'rospeet, some twenty miles distant froiu Halifax, N. H. This vessel, one of the finest of her i class, left Liverpool ou March '2O, with over 1,000 men, women, ami children on biWird. As she m-ared the end of her ; voyage, ami wlieu almost within sight of lsmt, she ran short of coal. The effort was then made to eut r the port of Halifax. Hut wlule thus endeavor ing to reach that haven of safety a fierce gnlc of wiud and raiu drove her with terri tile speed above ward. The engine#, lua.le weak with their short allowance of coal, vuiiilv worked against the driv ing waves und seas. The ship was driven to the shore and struck on Meagher'* Head. A fearful scene of despair, confusion, and death ensued. 11l the wild, savage struggle for life some 250 of the men upon the vessel managed to make a landing and ao saved their lives ; but 750 of the numbers upon the ill-starred whip were drowned or were dashed lifeless against the rugged beach. Not a woman or a child upon the ship were saved. When the news of this awful disaster reached Halifax a (lovemmcnt reasel • and a Cuuard steamer were despatched to the scene of the calamity ; but on reaching the spot they only succeeded in picking up the survivors, and found that the Atlantic and her cargo were i both a total loss.

Then he deposited genuine bills Willi his cash, ami afterwards presented the forged bills, which were readily dis counted ; many of them purported to lie drawn ou firms which use a peculiar paper with certain water marks and printed matter ; signatures had then to lie made ; and so accurately were all peculiarities imitated that it la probable the forgers would have fully succeeded in their plans had they not made tlis one blunder of presenting two bills in which the date of acceptance had lieen omitted ; inquiry was made of the firm whose acceptance was thus undated, and the hills were then, of course, found to be forgeries. As yet, unfortu uately, not the slightest clue to the i principal actor in this gigantic swindle lias lieen discovered. His clerk, Mr. I Edward Nores, waa examined lie fore the lord Mayor, the charge against him being that he had " obtained by fraud and forgery from the Governor and Company of the Hank of England the sum of 4:4,500," but his examina t on elicited no important facta except us t<> render it highly probable tLat one " Morton," who had tranaactcd business with the Western branch of the H.u.k, was identical with the 11 Frederick Albert Warren," who was the principal in the whole fraudulent business. He wrote most of his letters to the Bank from Birmingham, and made them very friendly and confi dential. In them he spoke of beiug til and utiuhln t> attend to husmcsa in person ; it ia singular how he wormed tiitnaelf into the confidence of the au thorities of the Bank, and the mystery I vol remains apparently inexplicable. The detective force docs nothing in the matter, and it is thought by aouic per sons that there has been too much money fraudulently obtaiucd to make ] it worth their while to do anything—in other words thst tlieyhsve been "seen." it is said thst that eminent person, Mr. Warren, remained at a hotel in London for several dava after his plans were discovered, ami that this waa known to a nunil>er of the Metropolitan force who declined to do anything in the case be cause it was in the hands of the city de tectives. There is reason to believe that Warren had other aliases, and tmii*ACt<>d business under the name of Hidwell. It may be rememtx-red that a woman named Ellen Vernon was ar rested while about to leave London with £2,700 in a bag such as " Bidweli" bought, as IN now shown, shortly be fore. It is believed that she was War ren's mistress, and that she knew of the business in * bich her lover waa en gaged. Her cross-examination makes this highly probable, but throws not the slightest light upon the where abouts of the principal in these no farious transactions. Among the in numerable rumors concerning the af fair it is ssid thst some months ago the liondon representative of a New York journal received a letter frem a "C. K. Morton," dated Alexandria, stating that the writer had been a contributor to the paper when in America, and that as he had, while traveling, suddenly found himself in want of funds, he thought that perhaps the London representative wonld cosh a hill for him. The offer was respectfully declined. When the eity forgeries were discovered and the. wntiug com pared it appeared that C. K. Horton and Warren were one and the same individual. The total loas to the Bank amounts to £77,000. A Tseful Hank. The inhabitants of the north-western part of Siberia live chiefly upon salmon, which enter the streams in summer to I spawn ; then tho natives take immense quantities of the fish, dry them, and lay by a supply for the next season. About ; every third or fourth year, on the aver age—though with considerable irregu larity—salmon do not appear, and tho consequence is a famine, which, falling first upon the dog teams of the people, disables the latter from drawing sup plies from other quarters. To prevent the terrible sufferings which have arisen from this cause, the Busman govern ment established at Kolrmn, a post on the Arctic ocean, a sort o{ savings batik, with a capital of one huudred thousand dried fish, purchased from the natives and stored nway ; then n law was cnact ed compelling every male inhabitant of tho settlement to pay annually one tenth of all the fish he caught, and no excuse for a failure was admitted—this continuing as long ns the fish season remained good ; hut when there was a failure of (lie sslnmn, and starvation impended, every depositor was entitled to borrow enough for his regular sup plies, on condition of repayment next year. At the latest ndvice, this bank iiad carried tho people through two conaeeutive years of famine, and aceu- j mulated acapital of three hundred thou sand dried fish, and was still accumlat ing at tho rato of twenty thousand a rear. It was thus on the road to wealth, besides proving such a fountain of be neficence of the people. It is the prin- ! eiploof Joseph's management in Egypt, , with all the modern improvements re quired by the state of society in Siberia. THE I*IRATE. Among the most no torious of the leaders of tho buccaneers or pirates, who originally started out from Tortuga, and whose names became famous in the Gulf and particularly about the West Indies, was the famous Morgan, afterward Sir Henry, who, af ter committing every crime known, end ed by stealing the booty of his comrades, with which, retiring, to the island of Jamaica, he succeeded in making a por tion of the world believe he was a high toned, honorable man, becoming ac tually an officer of the government, and receiving the honor or knighthood. His portraits represent him as a flue-look ltig gentleman, and he is said to have sprung from a respectable'family in Wales. A Boston grocer has kept the same store forty-two years, and is worth only S9OO more than when he started out. bom* Fuuuuy Fplfaph*. A book put published gives ns a batch of epitaphs copied from old tomb stones. Here ia one on Mr. Pepper, a Publi can, at tit. Johu'a, Stamford, Lincoln shire: " Hot by name, bin mild by nature, lis brew'd good als fur every creature ; Ha brew 'd good sie, and wild It too, And unto each man gave bis due." The following wretched effusion of ghastly puns is from Hackney Church yard, to the memory of l'eter Stiller: " A* still * death poor fetrr Uea, And HUller when alive M he; Hull not without a hojte to rise, Though Knllor then he sUll will be." In Donewter Churchyard, i thia couplet: ' ' Here Ilea 2 brothers by mwfortln aerounded. One dy d of his Wound* d the other u dru waded." The following lines are over the re mains of Roliert Trollop, architect of the 1 Exchange and Town-Hall at New Castle, England: •• Ifore Uax ltolwrt Trollop, Who made yon IIDIIM roll up. W heu death took hi* ami up. Ill* body filled thle bote up. ' In Oxfordshire, the following lines ; appear ou a head-atone: I " Here hoe the l*Jy of John Eldred, j At leant he will he here when he la dead, but now at tine ume be ia alive. The fourteenth of August, sixty-five." In the churchyard of tit. John's, iu the old city of Chester, the following lines are commemorative of one Hanoi j ltooth: i " A good wife, a tender mother. It were bard to find out eurh another, In love she lived, in peace she died. And wbeutiod called be wee not denied." Ou the tomb of a smuggler killed by the Eiciac Officers, is the following : - Here 1 lies, killed by X 1 I." Over the grave of a man and wife, whose married life waa somewhat con tentious, is tlie following expressive and comprehensive line: " Their warfare is acoutnplwhed.' From a tombstone near London, the following lines are taken : •• Hero lies the body of Nancy H. Gwyu, Who was eo very pure witlau Khe buret her outer shell of on And hatched berwelf a cherubui " As an illustration of the exigencies of J rhyme, an English writer cites the fol lowing epitaph from a tombstone at i Manchester : ! '• Here ties, alas' more's the pity, All UiAt remains of Nicholas he welly." N 11- His name was Newtown. But the English epitaphs more thau find their match in American grave* yards. In a churchyard near Hartford, Conn., is the follow ing : " Here lies two hslaos. > dead aa nits ; I>e l.otd lie kilt drill mil his ague fits. When dry was too good to Ue tail me, He took ilnn up to live nut lie. Ho He did." On a tomliatone erected over the l*dy of a young lady in Dorchester, Maas., I ia the following: " Ou the 21st of March God's angel" mats a sarr'.r Around the door they stood: They look a maid. I It is said, And cut her down like wood." Near Ban Diego, California, a tomb stone inscription thus reads : •"This vers is sakrid to the memory of Wil liam Henry hksraken, whe raim to his drill by loin shot by full's revolver-una of the old I Wind, brawn mounted and of sulci* is ths king dom f heavlu." The following comes from Ohio: " I'udrr this ad And utidrr these treoe lielli the bod y of Solomon Pesas. He's not in tins bide, but only bis pod; He shelled oat Ins soul And went up to In* God." An inacripton on a tombstone in East Tennessee concludes thus: ••Slid lived a life of *irtue and died of the . holer* morbus, caused by eating green fruit, >a the h<pe of a blessed immortality, at the early age of 21 years. 7 months and 10 days. Header, go thou and do Ukesise.' The following, which i* suggestive to coffee drinkers, is from a tombstone in l Connecticut: Hers ties cut down like unripe fruit. The wife Of lleaeon Amos Shute ; She died of drinking too much coffee. Anny Dummy eighteen forty." A tombstone in Texas has the follow ing inscription: '• He remained to the last a decided friend and supporter of IVamorraUc principles and meseurea llleeeed are the dead who die in the Lord." The following ia from a cemetery in Maine, and was erected by the widow: •• Sacred to the memorc of Janice H R - m. who (lied Aug. Uie full, ISUO. His widow who mourns as one who can be comforted, aged S4. and pomeastug oiery qualification for a good wife, lives at street, in this village." The Spring Strikes. A lshor strike is said to be impend ing. The carpenters ssy that they don't get enough to pay their board. Shoemakers, that it takes their swl to keep them at work, and their solo de pendence is often in tlicir last job. I'ainlcra complain that thev have be come literally hue-era of wood. rpholstera complain that hangings have gone out of fashion. Boiler-makers aver that Congress has kept the country in hot water to such a degree that their have no chance. Blacksmiths "complain that all the forging is done in Wall street, and there is no chance. Tailors ssy they mean to give their customers fits. The hatters have kept ahead. The gas-fitters will go in for light work. Printers say they are tired, and can't " act up " any longer—that'a what's the matter. Bakers say they knead more, and don't like to "see so"many rich loafers. Butchers complain of being com pelled to work at killing price*. Candle-makers urge that wick-ed work ought to lo well paid for. Wheelwrights say that all spokes men in Congress voted more pay before retiring, and they expect to do as well as their felloes. Tho paper-makers say their busi ness is such that it brings thorn to rags. Antl, finally, the plumbers propose to have their customers tlo the work, and charge double pav for superintending it themselves, fcach on perin ten dent will have three tenders, one to fill his pipe, another to hold his hat, and a third to act as substitute when he goes out "to see a man." Copying the Men. On my wnv homo Sitnrdij afternoon, writes a lirooklyn correspondent, I noticed a lnrgc unwornblago of boya un der a horizontal bar in Hioka street Kathor struck with such a solemn as sembly, I stood opposite, determined to watch their proceedings, to see the end of what seemed to me to be so curi ous a gathering. As the'erowd parted, I noticed one boy with hia arms pinion ed and a rope passed under them, which was thrown over the bar, another boy, representing a clergyman, stood with a pieee of paper in hia hands. The well known hop of Sheriff Hrennan was no ticed as he stepped up to the Rev. Doc tor. All was quiet. The rag was waived, and some four or five of the larger boys caught hold of the rope, and the convict was d ragged up. A young M. D. stepped up, felt the pulse of the sus pended boy, and pronounced him dead. He was lowered and his body given to hia friends, who said that '.the funeral would take place immediately. The crowd adjourned to the funeral, seeming to l>e perfectly satisfied with the success of the execution. Your readers esn draw theirown con clusions from this little incident., adds the correspondent, who also intimates that the parents of thoae ten or twelve vear old boys had better pay them a little attention in the way of birch roils. "Black as a coal," is no longer a ten able simile in Australia. They ve lound a pure white coal deposit there. English Nlwplnf-Car*. For the first time in the history of the country a sleeping-car waa run ou a British railway IU the month of Febru ary, 1H73. No one will be aurpriaed to learn that the affair waa vastly Inferior to thoae iu auch general uae in America. The Loudon AVw> givea a description of the single car thua far in uae. It is thirty feet long, about half the length of a "Pullman sleeper." One cud i devoted to a luggage compartment, the other to an ordinary aooond-claaa ootu partmetit. Tlie part devoted to Bleep ing arruiigcmenta ia eighteen feet in length, iu two aaloona, each giving ac commodation to Uiree imaaengem. There ia apparently no partition or car taiua, between the beds, no that iruleaa there ia a party of three to take a com partment, one or more of the tied* must be uuoccupicd, provided the travelers arc at all particular about their sleeping companion*. Ttic moat singular thing about this single sleeping ear, owned by a company that operate# more than eight hundred miliw of railway, is, that it ia not proilowed to run it iwgulaiiv,* but only when it luui been apocaally ba- BIXJVCU. It ia interesting to learn that the d<mra of the car open in auoh away that the oecupant of either bed may go out without stepping over anylmdy; but to do ao he is obliged to dismount at the foot of hta own bad, aa the three mattreasea touch each other at tlis an la and fill up ths whole space between the aides of tue car. I'rrptrtUoi of Moat Extract. A new mode of pro poring certain kinds of meat has lately been patented iu l'aris by K. DunuiJ. This nan wore particular reference to the flesh of prawns, akrimpa, and other delicate crustaceans, in regard to which, aa ia well known, much trouble ia espen* en red in the picking out of the flesh from the external skeleton after boiling.
