Farm, Garden and Household. Hop Cnllnit. First he sure to secure a good quality i of the right kind of plants. The Eng lish Cluster stands far in advance of all, or any other variety, both for produc tiveness and quality of hop. We should be as oautious in selecting the variety of hops as we would be on fruit-trees, seeds, Ac. The English Cluster hop con be profitably grown in any climate or soil that will produce any kind of grain or potatoes. As regards profit to the grower, I say first, at a low average of 1,800 pounds per acre, and at a low average price of 40 cents per pound, the crop would bring ftltk) per acre. The expenses of cultivation and harvesting art* to be de ducted therefrom. Sonic fix the ex pense of production as high as 10 cents per pound ; others ss low as 5 cents. " The variation depends on the number of pounds produced per acre, as a light crop costs uearly as much labor as a heavy yield. My experience teaches me that an av erage yield of hojs can be grown at an expense not exceeding seven cent* per pound, making an expense of $lO5 per acre ; deduct this from the $tUH> and the grower ia left in p*sesaiou of a net profit of $405 per acre. To start with, the plants wit! cost about $22 i>or acre. The next year the vines need poling, which can i*e done at an expense of about SSO per acre. Many farmers have plenty of poles upon their own laud which will cost them nothing but the time and labor of cut- ! ting and hauling them. After the plants and poles are once secured, there will be no additional expense in that direc tion for twenty years or more. The first crop will, or should, pay all those ex-! pensea and leave a profit of $422 per acre, and a paid-up iuveatment for twentv yeans or more. Last year, 1872, good hops sold readily at the grower's door for fifty and fifty-six cents per Sound, rnanv of them realixiug from 10,000 to $15,000 for their crop. No wonder thev are the moat iovial and happy lot of creatures on earth.— Rural JS'etc lorhr, ('era la ItttH and Drill*. At the Michigan Agricultural College in ltbvS, two plots of laud were set apart, aul*stantially equal in character of soil, each measuring forty-eight rods in width. The ground was plowed May 5, and manure was spread evenly and worked in by cultivator ami harrow. Yellow Dent corn was planted May 21 in rows four feet apart ; one of the plots being planted in hills, the other in drills. The plots were cultivated and hood June 15, and again July 7 ; the plants being thinned so as to leave the same number of stalks on each plot, in eluding the equal distribution of plants throughout the subdivision of the plots. As nearly as possible, each of the two plots received the same amount of labor and cultivation. The stalks were out Sept 17, and stacked iu good order ; three weeks afterward the corn was husked and weighed. The stalks then again carefully stacked, and were haul ed and weighed, in good condition, Oct 12. The com on the portion plant ed in hills was better in quality than on that planted in drills. But the drilled portion produced seventy-four and one sixth bushels of shelled com, and three tous of stalks to the acre, against sixty five and one-half bushels of shelled com, and two and two-thirds tons of stalks pe* acre produced by the portion in lulls.— Rural World, How lo Broil flth. In the first place, says Pierre Blot, the fish mast be fresh, the fire sharp, and the draught good. When thor oughly cleaned and washed, dry the fish with a towel; rub it inside and out&ide with a little batter, and salt and pepper it on both sides also. Set on the fire, turn over now and then in order to pre vent the charring of any part of the fish. It does not matter how many times it is turned over, provided the fire is sharp enough to broil quickly. As soon as done place the fish ou a warm dish, the inside up, spread butter mixed with chopped parsley all over, and sprinkle lemon juice all over also. Serve quickly. Let our readers bear in mind that vinegar is no substitute for lemon jnice in this case. Many amateur fishermen believe that they can cook fish better than any cook, because they relish it better when on a fishing excursion. They have two ad vantages over the cook; the first is the freshness of the fish, and the other is a sauce that no cook can make—hunger. The old saving about cooking fish is, to be good, fish must go from the water to the pan, and from the pan to the mouth. The American Indiana say, As soon aa caught, bleed it; as soon as bled, clean it; aa soon as cleaned, cook it; aa soon as cooked, eat it Treatment of Frosen Tree*. Mr. Hanford of Indiana stated, at the recent meeting of the Michigan Pomo logical Society, that in the cold winter dl 1856 he had a peach orchard of thrifty young trees absolutely killed to the ■now line, and of course a total loss as far as appearances indicated or experi ence oonld suggest Knowing, howev er, that the trees had been vigorous and that their roots mast possess consider able power of reproduction, he proceed ed to cut off the entire top of every tree that had been killed, and left nothing but unsightly stamps thronghoat the orchard. The spring came on; ad vanced somewhat; he watched his stamps with anxiety; found that nu merous buds started out from these stubs, put forth their shoots aud made a remarkable growth, and in two years he had as good and healthy an orchard as that which had been cutoff by the frost Since that time be has frequently had occasion to treat other trees in a simi lar manner, sometimes catting off in jured branches only, and has almost uniformly had good results. But it is necessary to cut off the injured branches of frozen tops as early as possible after the snow is gone, and always before the sap has begun to ascend the tree. Care of Cow*. One of the members of the Hampden Harvest Club stated that a storm would affect the flow of milk so as to make a reduction of a quart from each cow per day. The effect of cold in winter upon the milk secretions is very perceptible. If cows are turned out of s warm stable and suddenly breathe the cold sir, get chilled, or take a draft of ice-cold water, it will reduce the flow of milk, not only for that day, but for a longer period. The influence of drafts of cold penetrating through the stable, the standing or lying down in damp litter, has the same effect. Too much care cannot be given to the uniform comfort of cows in order that they mov produce the largest amount of milk. Centieness in their management, system in feeding and milking, so as not to excite, and the other attentions named, will more than repay for all the pains in the extra amount of milk the oow will furnish. The Western Fanners. At the Illinois Farmers' Convention a resolution was offered and adopted rec ommending to the farmers of Illinois the keeping of a farm-expense account during the present and succeeding sea sons, in order that the actual cost of production may be estimated and made public for the purpose of reaching a fair and equitable remuneration therefor to the farmers of the State. A motion was made to reconsider the vote by wljich the resolution censuring members of Congress for voting for, and the President-of 6he United States for signing, the bill increasing salaries was unanimously adopted. This motion was also declared carried, and a motion was then made and carried to postpone indefinitely the farther consideration of both resolutions. * * A delegate amid much confnsion suc ceeded in offering the following resolu tion, which was adopted : Jieaolved, That any legislation that is not based upon the eleventh article of our State Constitution, entitled "Bail roods," will not meet the neoessities of the producers in confining monopolies to reasonable maximum rates of freight and passenger tariff and prevent unjust discriminations, an4.sb*t such maximum rates should be fixed legislative en actment as directed % our State Con stitution, i The Mormon Prophet, Brig hum Tonne •!

After twenty-nine years'active service as President and Prophet of the Mor mons, Brigluuu Young has resigned his position to make room for a younger ami more active man. lie was bira at Whittingham, in the State of Vermont, on June 1, 1801. His father waa a far mer, as wo* also Brighton until lie was thirty-two years old, when the spirit of ptopneoj began to trickle into him,ami. forsaking the plough and harrow, he shortly afterwards united hia fortunes j with those of the letter l>ay Saints, i and, in his own expressive words, "walked for four rears in tlie desert with his shoes fillet! with blood." The Mormon Church, unoer Joseph Smith, had l*een regularly organised two or three vears previously, at Manchester, I New York State, and many converts had been made. Hrtgham Young was made an elder soon after hia conversion. He was made one of the twelve apoatle# who were appointed in 1825 to spread the new doctrines among the Gentile*. He labored in the Eastern States, w here he waa signally successful in making con vert*. Soon afterwards the Mormons got into extremely had odor with the people, especially when their bank failed at K n'Jand, and the leaders were forced to fiee for their lives be fort* en raged creditor*, not exactly into the mountains of llepsnlam, but into Mis souri, a place at that time about as wild and full of files ami defiles. Here, ac cused of pluuderuig, arson, ami aasasai nation, they fought with mobs and were hunted from place to place like wild l*easta. Internal diaseusious began ami; heresies showed their horrid fronts ;; their difficulties with the people of Mis souri assumed the proportions of civil war, the militia of the State was called out, and some of the Mormon loaders were arrested and charged w itli treason, murder, and felony. They agreed to leave the State, ami went to Illinois, where they settled at Nan TOO, which soon grew to be a flourishing city and received a charter. Charges of immoral conduct and polygamy brought against Sunth caused him to be lodged in jail at Carthage, when, on June 27, 1844, a mob took him and shot him to death in the jail-yard. Sidney Kigdon, an old Mormon, and Brigham Young, now about forty-two years old, and vigorous both mentally and physically, were the most promi nent candidates fur the leadership of the sect. Young was elected, and im mediately excommtiuicated Kigdou, whom he gave over " to be buffeted by the devil for a thousand years." Like a wise man he did not, as he was urged to do, seek to avenge the death of Smith, but " left to God " the punish ment of the guilty, hoping by this act of moderation to soften gentile hearts towards the new church. Hostilities were renewed, the charter of Nauvoo was revoked, and in J 846 the Mormons sorrowfully left Nauvoo and their beautiful temple, on the top of which stood a statue of the angel Ga briel. and then they went into the wilds of lowa, gathering at Council Bluffs. In this exodus Brigaxn Young led them thence to Salt Lake Valley in Utah, where he founded Salt Lake City, and speedily brought a large area of land under cultivation. Missionaries were sent to all quarters of the globe, and converts, especially from England and Wales, begun to turn their faces toward the new Mecca, a city flowing with milk, honey, and carnal delights. From Sweden and Norway they came ; from Germany, Switzerland, and France, and ranged themselves beneath the banner of Itrigham Young, their prophet, priest, and king. When the Mexican war broke out the Mormons furnished their con tingent of a battalion to the army. In March, 1849, a convention was held at Salt Lake City, and the State of Deseret —" the land of the honey-bee " —was organised, but Congress refused to recognize it, and made a Territory of the land occupied by the Mormons, of which Brigham Young was appointed Governor by President Fillmore. It was stipnlated that all laws opposed to those of the United States should be annulled, and this was looked upon not nnnatnrally by Brigham as s menace to polygamy, which, at first a heresy of Orson Pratt's, had now become the well settled custom of the Latter Day Saints. Brigham was determined to make for himself and his people a recognized po sition of power in the land ; among his people, although he was not formally invested with absolute power, his au thority was practically without bounds. Only he had interviews with angels, and knew the divine will, and only he conld exceed the nnmber of wives— seven—prescribed to each of the faith ful, and he even made bold to say: " I defy any one to prove from the Bible that I have not the right to a thousand wives." By assumptions st variance with the law of the land he got into difficulties with the Federal judges of the Territory, who, in 1850, were forced by threats of violence to leave Utah, and then the laws of the United States were openly defied and subverted. The Government refused any longer to recognize Brigham Young" as Governor of the Territory, and appointed Colonel Steptoe in his place. In 1854 the Colonel entered Utah with a battalion of sold iers, but found it so difficult to occupy the position to which he had been ap pointed, that he resigned it and took his force to California. Brigham dealt with the high hand and outstretched arm of one who feels that his commis sion is not from man. On the Sunday after Colonel Steptoe's departure he preached in the Talwmacle and s&id: "I am an J will be Governor, and no power can hinder it, rrntil the Lord Al mighty says: ' Brigham, yon need not be Governor any longer.'" The civil officers appointed along with Colonel Steptoe were driven from the Territory, and Judge Drummond was forced at the point of the bowie-knife to adjourn his court sine die. In 1857 President Btichsnan appointed Alfred Cumming Governor, and sent 2,500 soldiers to Utah to protect him in the discharge of his duties. Theexoited Mormons denoun ced the army as a mob and forbade ita entrance into their land ; they attacked the supply trains and cut them off from the army, which, without reaching Salt Lake Valley, went into winter quarters on Black's Fork, near Fort Bridger. The Territory was declared in rebellion. In 1858 the Mormons submitted to the Federal authority and the troops were withdrawn two years afterwards. Peace then reigned, and on March 3, 1862, Brigham l'oung was elected President ! of Utah at the very moment when, ac cording to the public journals, his au thority was gravely mcnanced by the appearance of a new prophet, and a division therefrom resulting among the Latter Day Saints. Afterwards Governor Harding had him arrested on a charge of polygamy, and it was with some diificnlty that he was again set at liberty. Thencefor ward for some years there was no dis turbance between the two governments, and Brigham devoted his energies to developing the resources of the Territo ry which lie ruled, and was eminently successful in doing so, as waa shown in his message of 1868, which exposed a government making rapid progress without contracting any public debt, and, as he thought, on the eve of enter ing the Union with the rank of a State. The great and irreconcilable point of divergence between Utah and the other sections of the country was the fact of its polygamy, but as the Territory was so far'away from ordinary civilization this system was not seriously likely to become a real source of contention un til the opening of the Pacific Railroad brought Utah intoclose connection with other parts of thejeountry. Then Con gress began to take measures to pro hibit polygamy, and the introduction of the CnQom bill, redefining adultery and giving the United States authority in certain new cases, raised a storm of indignation among the saints, against whom especially it was directed; and a formal protest against its passage was sent by them to Congress in 1870. In the more recent troubles in regard to Judge M 'Kean's actions in Utah, charges were brought against the Mor mons of murder and other heinous crimes alleged to have been committed long ago by prominent Mormons, and Judge McLean, held that they should lw> tried iu United States Courts instead of those of the Territory. The Lstter Day mint* are now quiet enough, and in leaving them Brighain Young has withdrawn a presence which has done all for their material prosperity that any mas could have done. It ia, of course, useless to speculate ou the future of the people. FnglUh Sports An English paper called the .Vjporfs- Mton, give* the following description of an otter hunt, where the horrid tor ments inflicted on a poor snimal appear to have given uumiiigled delight to some hundreds of Iwiugs, learing the human form : Ererv minute increased his distress ; he coufd uo longer keep under water, but swam up ami down gasping and gnashing his white tangs above the surface tu the utmost fury of rage and despair. When overtaken or met by any of the houmls, ho would, for a second, conceal himself beneath, but l*eing unable to remain, he would again rise above, and bite and grapple with them with the deadly fierceness of a serpent. Twice in this maimer he swam the length of the pool, followed by the whole )>ack baying at his tail, ami hailed by the united thunder of aouie fifty gascra. At last, fcb , think ing it time to close the scene, iu order to spare his dogs, advised everybody but himself to fall back from the lower shallow. The poor wretch soon dis covered the deserted quarter, snd made towards it. But before he eould escape ho had to clamber over tlie top of the uet, which extended across the river at the point, sunk to tlie bottom by heavy loads, and uttaclied to each of the banks. A moment afterwards, in making this endeavor, he was raised from the stream to writhe in death upon the barbed spear. There lie hung wriggling and twisting, and his eyes Hashing the red sparks of rage, until all the party had collected aronnd him ; he was then east into tlie uiidst of the hounds, upou whom having wreaked his vengeance by the inflictions of some heavy gashes, and, in return, having everv bone witli iu him grouud and swashed almost into pulp, he, otter-like, without a cry, with out a groan, returning wound for wound, and torture for torture, at length yielding his life, but not, however, till his enemies had paid for it at a most costly price." Aged Youth. This certainly, cannot bo called a very arduous life ; and the result of it is, that moat of our citizens look fresh and are vigorous after they are far ad vanced. An exemplification is seen in Cor nelius Vaaderbilt, who, in his 77th year, is perfectly hale and hearty ; walks as erect, and is lithe and supple, as if he were still 40. Alexander T. Stewart, over 65, has not the slightest ailment; is entirely healthy in mind and body ; and is calla ble of managing his immense business in all its details with the greatest wise. William B. Astor, 76, shows no symp toms of decay ; takes long walks ; has an excelleut appetite and digestion ; and looks forward, I presume, to 15 or 20 years more of adherence to the planet. William Cullen Bryant, now 75, pre serves the physical characteristics ol youth. He often walks sor 6 miles tie fore breakfast; prides himself upon his ability to leap fences ; and laughs st the idea of being considered an old man. Daniel Drew, at 70, is as active and wiry as he was 30 years ago, and more than a match for the youngest and shrewdest operators of Wall street. George I-aw, about the same age, at tends to his vast business precisely ss he did a quarter of a century since, and very seldom requires the services of a physician. f might mention any nnmlier of New Yorkers, ranging from 60 to 70 vears old, who are as full of vitality aud en ergy as men of half their age. I used to think that to be 60 was to lie old ; but here I have learned by actual obser vation that to be 70 is to be almost in the prime of life.— New York letter. Ess and Esses. " So you have fiuished your studies at the seminary ? I was much pleased with the closing exercises. Tin* author of that poem—Miss White, I think yon called her—bids fair to become known as a poet." "We think the authoress will become celebrated as a poetess," remarked the young lady pertly, with marked em phasis on two words of the sentence. " Oh, ah!" replied the old gentleman, looking thoughtfully over his gold spectacle* at the young lady. " I hear his sister was quite an actress, and un der Miss Hosmer'a instruction will un doubtedly become quite a scnlptoress." The young lady appeared irritated. "The seminary," continued the old gentleman, with imperturable gravity, "ia fortunate in having an efficient board of manageresses. From the Presidentess down to the humblest teacheress unusual talent is shown. There is Miss Harj>er, who as a chem istress, is nnequaled, and Mrs. Knowles has already a reputation as an aatron omeresa. And in the department of music few can equal Miss Kellogg as a singe reus." The young lady did not appear to like the chair she was sitting on. She took the sofa at the other end of the room. " Yes," continued the old gentleman, as if talking to himself, " those White sisters are very talented. Mary, I un derstand, has turned her attention to painting and the drama, and will surely become famous as an actress and paint eress, and even as a lectnress—" A loud slamming of the door caused the old gentleman to look up, and the criticess and grammarianess was gone! I'rerentlre Medicine. It was in England that solution of the great problem of hygiene was first at tempted : " Preventive Medicine," it is there called. Palmerston told a dep utation which waited on him in order to ask him to order a fast on the approach of the second epidemic of cholera, to cleanse their sewers and diligently visit the dwellings of the poor. And he did not confine himself to good advice, but with his usual energy he laid his hand on sanitary legislation, and pari fled the air of London and the large manufac turing town*. The result of the sani tary measures carried out was a reduc tion of the mortality of London from 26 to 23 per 1,000, and in some of the towns to 19 per 1,000- —a low death-rate previ ously only equalled in the Isle of Wight. Mora than four thousand lives have been preserved yearly in London ; and, assuming that the mortality among the sick is 1 in 20, this number represents a diminution in yearly sickness to the ex tent of eighty thousand. Franklin's maxim, that " public health is public wealth," has become a part of the inner consciousness of the English people; and every Englishman, proud as he is of the inviolability of his domicile, and closing his house like a castle against intrusion from without, abandons this inviolability, and cheerfully submits to each proceeding of the sanitary law, which, when the death-rate in a town exceeds 23 per 1,000, gives the officer of health the right to examine each house, search out nuisances, and control the consumption of water. A Mother's Love. Lamartine gives this illustration : " In some spring freshet, a river widely washed its shores and swept away n bough whereon a bird had built a cot tage for her summer home. Down the white aud whirling stream drifted the green branch, with its wicker cup of unfledged song, and fluttering beside it went the mother bird. Unheeding the roaring river,, on she went, her cries of agony and fear piercing the pauses in the storm. How like the love of an old fashioned mother, who followed the child she had plucked from her heart, all over the world. Swept away by par sion that child might be, it mattered not; though he was bearing away with him the fragrance of the shattered roof tree, yet that mother was with him, a Ruth through all liis life and a liahel at his death." The Atlantic Disaster. Additional ltofalla of ihc Bad Afthlr. At s preliminary eiamiuation as to the cause of the disaster to the steamer Atlantic nothing of consequence was elicited. There is no doubt, however, according to the stateuieuta of the of ficers ami passengers, that the Atlantic was not properly coaled for the voyage at this season. Her passage was uot tcin{>catuuua. She mads nine hundred miles in the first three days. Hales were encountered oil the 25th and 20th which lowered her speed to 190 and UH, but on the "27th she made 244 miles : antli, IKU miles ; 30th, 235 miles ; 31st, 264 miles, and on Monday, a calm day, but 169 miles. The ship hail then pass ed Halifax, but, having on board only 130 tons of coal, waa put back. It is evident that she was put to sea some five hundred tons of coal short. Cap tain Williams is reticent in regard to his reckouiug ; he hail never been to Halifax before. It is certain, however, that lie waa twenty miles nearer laud than he siip|H>eed, and his allowance for tlie westerly current could uot have l>ceu correct " The suu and the stars showed eight, but the ship, with the wind abeam and aft, was evidently too quick for the calculation. TUK rOI'NPATIOJI roll TIIE CALAMITY lies in insufficient coaling and a miscal culation, ami, jierlnip*. some incompe tency upon the part of the wstrh on deck, t'upturn Williams is silent U|KIU the sll-iutportant point as to his reckon ing. All agree, however, that he was a hero in the supreme moment, and any one would believe it who could have heard his heartbroken, sobbing accents, " My God, if 1 could only have saved a woman or child ; the memory of that girl climbing about my neck and be seeching me to save her will haunt me to my own grave." Captain Williams, nevertheless, waa worthy of tlie name of his illustrious prototype of the Oneida. He stood by his ship until the last soul was saved, or till safety waa rendered absolutely sure. AMOXO THE PEAL)—HBAKTRKN'IHXQ BCR.NES. The scene at Meagher's Island was very sad. Bodies that hail been recov ered were laid in rows along the sloping ledgef and it required a strong nerve to walk among them and not succumb to tears. There were mothers and little children, strong men atsring sightless, their eyes protruding and froth issuing from their mouths. Little children were there, bruised and bloody, but with that sweet expression which, strange as it may seem, usually comes of violent deaths. OHOL'UI PH.I.AOING THE COWERS. It is very and to say that the bodies were pillaged after they washed pdiore and were then turned adrift again. An emigrant with thirty sovereigns sewed in his vest wss found, and all of them cut out. The robber of the dead was apprehended bv the magistrate. A large trench waa dug, in which the bodies of the poor unclaimed were pot to rest. APPEARAXOB OP THE DEAD. A feeling deeper than rererentisl awe, a sensation a* might le experienced by one standing on the threshold of death, chilled to the rery marrow the bones of the looker-ou, anil it wa with alow step and half-averted glance that the gleaner of news approached this solemn assem bly. Then what s sight met the eye ! There, on the brow of that rocky island, partly on the atne, partly on the gTassy earth, wet with last night's nun and cut tip by brown patches of moss, lay the aged and the young, the strong and the feeble, equalised at last by the blow that fell so suddenly on them. At 1 man, woman and child had been alike swallowed up by the greedy deep. Side by side lay tliey, some of whose faces bore the imprint of that peace so much spoken of ; others were set resolutely, as if the last thought of the living crea ture had been duty ; and others again revealed nothing of the final emotions that must baTe crowded the few fast passing minutes that elapsed ere eterni ty opened up before them. PICTTRE OF THK OOBMM. The dead lay in dll positions, too half recumbent, stiffened by death, and icy cold; wildly agitated, a* if the struggle hail been long and bitter ; easy and natural, making one almost believe that no agony had been suffered by the departed ; defensive, as if resisting the buffeting of the maddened sravc* on the horrid still night on the lutre cliff%; in all stages of dress, from the well-to-do emigrant with his clothes all on, evi dencing his habits, to the weary sailor juat relieved from his watch, who had turned in, clad in wet garments ; women, whose dresses had lieen torn to rags by the action of the breakers ; children as they might have been in their bed*— but one and all carefully and reveren tially covered where mutilation disfig ured the form, for, alas! the work of rescue needs a bold and unserujATious hand, and the floating body must be gaffed as it washes by, and, no matter where the sharp hook strikes, whether on face or neck or body, it cuts and tears frightfully. corpses hail been so terribly lacerated that sail cJoth hail lieen used"to cover up the features and limbs which love itself could no longer recognize. Hands, arms, feet anil legs that were bare were seen around, and all were bleached and shrunken horribly. DEATH APPEARS LIFE LIRE. Facet were discolored and blotched red, green—yea, all manner of hideous colors ; and, again, there were those fair and rosy as in life. Gazing upon some of these forms one would have aworn they slept, and so strong was the illu sion that in stepping by them the step was light, for fear of waking those who never will wake until the sound of the " last trump." In this awful array of bodies two faces struck the beholder with undisguised horror ; one, that of a man, whose out stretched arms lent additional force to the wild expression of the widely dis tended eyes. These glared so intensely that their fixed look of despair was a force unenualled bv any save that of a female Ixxly, and then, indeed, was the agony of death met angrily, fiercely, fn riotialy, depicted with startling vivid ness on rigid lineaments And firm-set features. i QI'AHTKKM ASTFH RAYI-ANCX'S STATKMFXT. Quartermaster Charles Ravlanec **ys: 1 About twenty minutes past three o'clock I hove the log, and the ahip at that | time waa going at the rate of twelve knota an hour. I went into the aft wheel-house and waa looking through one of the window*, when I fancied I saw breaker* on the atarboard aide. I then ran forward to the lookout man on the bridge, and I asked him if he did not think there were breaker* on the atar board aide. He reported to the aecond officer, who telegraphed to the engine room to rcverae the engine full speed aatern. We both then jumped on the bridge together on to the deck. Then he gavo me orders to call all handa on deck. I ran forward and burst the Siuartermaatern' room open with my oot, and all of them, three in number, got out through the panel of the door. Then I and one of them went aft and got out the rocket* and fired about eight when the ncket box rolled away from na. The captain gave order* to get the boat* clear and save the paaaen gera. I and the captain went to No. 3 boat and were getting her clear when he asked me if the plugs were in her; I told him they were not. As the pas senger* were huddled together in the bottom of the boat, crying, I could not get the plugs in. The only youth saved from the wreck makes the following statement: My name is John Hinley. lam about twelve years of age. I got on board the Atlantic at Liverpool, with mv mother, father, and young brother. We all be longed to Asliton, Lancashire. The first thing worth mentioning that he knew of was that he was asleep in his berth when a great noise awakened him, although be did not hear any voices. There seemed to be a great rush, and he stumbled out of bed and into the crowd. The greater portion passed him, but he saw six men crowding into a top berth in the upper steerage, and he followed them. One of the men broke through a wimlow and got ont, ami the boy did the name, one kind* hearted individual pushing him through lnifore he had made the egreaa hiinaelf. Once outaida he held on by the ropes until hiinaelf and hia companions were reacued by the life txiat. What became of hia pareiita uud brother he did not know, but ia certain that they were drowned. The family were on their way to New York at the invitatiou of two married daughtera settled there. The crew was one of the hardest that was ever gathered in any vessel. They were picked up shout the Liverpool wharves and docks, and it was with the greatest difficulty that they wero kept under control during the voyage. The storckee]M-r says that one of them made an attempt to snatch his watch and chain one night, but was foiled. On another occasion, during the storm of the 25th of March, ho states that some of the crew attempted to break into the spirit-rooiu, and it was for a while feared that force would have to l>e used to prevent them. When the boat* came from the shore to rescue the survivors the sailors rc|>cntedlY pushed the pmuieugers aside or knocVed them down and jumped luto tlie boats them selves. A Prised) t.ift. Professor Agasstx recently delivered an address to tlie Legislature of Massa chusetts on the occasion of the visit by tlisl IHKIV to the Museum of Compara tive Zoology at Cambridge, and lu the course of his remarks expressed his vicww regarding the establishment of s summer school for the instruction of school teachers in natural history. He also sugge*td the holding of the first *essiou during the coming summer at Nantucket. The publication of the programme and details of this proposed movement attracted the atteutionof Mr. John Anderson, of New York city, tlie wealthy tobacco merchant, who consid ered that the island of Penikese, which he owued, and which he had usad ss s private summer resort, would be admir ably adapted to the purposes of the proponed School of Natural History. On the following day he deputed two gen tlemen to proceed to Cambridge and to teuder to Professor Agassis the tills to the island, with all its improvements and buildings, ss s permanent location for the school Of course, tlie generous gift was st once accepted, and Mr. Au derson has supplemented that act by the munificent pecuniary donation of $50,000 as the basis of an endowment fund for the institution, which perma nently establishes it The island of IVniksse, which will become the future domicile of the pro posed institute, is >ue of the Elisabeth group of islands, situate st the entrance of Buzzard's Bay, on the southern coast of Massachusetts. It contains about one hundred acres, and presents advan tages which peculiarly adapt it to the puqxise* contemplated by Professor Aga**iz. Its situation in the ocean, within easy access of the mainland, se cures privacy and freedom from intru sion, while its wondtrful fertility will enable tlie institution to maintain itself slmort within its owu domain. Mr. Anderson, since his purchase of tlie island some years ago, has expended large sums iu buddings and improve ments, and the commercial value of the whole property may tie considered a lit tle short of SIOO,dUO. His endowment may therefore be considered as equiv alent to $150,000. A Western Editor's Comment. Mr. William E. Cramer, proprietor of the Milwaukee Filming II iewwia, says of theloat steamer Atlantic: "Du ring the past three years we have crossed the ocean in two steamers, the Cambiia, of the Glasgow line, and the Atlantic, of the White Star line. They have both since gone to the bottom, the Cambria with 159 ]>assengers, and the Atlantic with 730. A captain has a great deal to do with the safety of a ahip. If he ia a tlrst-class man, permeated with s thor ough sense of duty, the chances of safe ty on the sea are about equal to those on the laud. Capt. Craig was the com mander of the Cambria in 1069, and when his veaiw-1 entered the dangerous channels between the nortli of Ireland and Scotland he was so careful that he would not permit any other officer but himself to stand on the lookout. And there, with glass in hmid, he would re main for boars. Capt. Perry was the commander of the" Atlantic when we crossed the ocean in January, 187*1. Aa the vessel approached the American coast liin watchfulness wsa unceasing bv night and by dav, because, he said, "here there is real danger." When the vessel was in the deep sea he left far more to his subordinates, who were trained men, but wheu nearing the coast he felt that ho could trust uo one with the responsibility but himself, and all the passengers experienced a feeling of seenritv under the guidance of so tried, so skilffn! and so thoughtful an officer. We know nothing of Capt. Williams, of the Atlantic, but, ou nearing the coast, we think a first-class captain would have considered it a breach of duty to be in his berth. The Atlantic ia bmltof iron, and'onst $750,000 in gold, and has been in service only two years, Klie is doubt less insured in Liverpool, but no insur ance, however large, can repay the com (>any for the prestige which they will use by this terrible disaster." lie Wanted to Enow. An individual writea to one of the weekly papers for information as follows: " I am engaged to a young lady whom I love sincerely and who returns my love. But not having been engaged long, some of her former gentlemen acquaintances come in once in awhile to spend the evening ; but, as a matter of course, I generally am there first. Now, should I leave because they call, or should I stay ? And if I am to stay, how is the young lady to get rid of them, as some of thcm ; not knowing the state of the ease, evidently expect ing me to go first ? Please tell me what to do under the circumstances." There are varionn methods by which these persons can be seared off. One wav is to engage s prize-fighter to call and buffet them npon the nose and hanl them aronud by the ear*. Another way is to set the house on fire. Another is to secrete s hungry dog in the piano, and let him ont suddenly when yon want the company to move. Btill batter, why not introduce a lightning-rod and scatter tliern with s thunderstorm, or induce the hired girl to become insane, and charge into the parlor with a gun ? Or, if you must drive them away, begin to take up a collection ; or threaten to sing something ; or blow ont the gas and leave the stop-cock turned ; or begin to tell about una of your dreams ; or try to IKIITOW money of them ; or read the advertisements in the evening paper aloud to them ; or induce the young lady to pretend to go asleep and to snore ; or nak har sunt to comedown and entertain them while you and your fair one spark sweetly in the comer. Any ona of these methods will be effec tive ; and what anrpriaea us ia that any man ahonld have so little ingenuity as to be compelled to write to the news papers about it. Laying Out a Half-Mile Track. Lay off two ntraight Rides, 600 feet eaeii (parallel), and 452 feet 4| inches apart, connected at each end with a per fect semicircle (radius 226 feet 2 $-16 inches); place your fence exactly upon a line so formed (which ia the inside of yonr track), and your track will measure exactly half a mile three feet from' the fence ; the outside fence to lie placed according to the width of the track de sired. If not convenient to obtain an engineer to run the curves, it can lie done in thia manner : Place a center stake midway between the parallel straight sides at each end ; take a wire with a loop at the end, loose enough to turn upon the stake, and measure upon this wire 226 feet 2 3-16 inches (tho ra dius of the curves), which, from the center stake, will exactly reach the ends of the straight lines; then describe your semicircle, beginning at the end of one straight side, putting down a stake every twelve feet, if that is the length of fence panels desired.— Turf, Field and Farm.

In regard to the supply of coal on the Atlantic, (Apt Williams tohl s re porter that the Company hail made a contract when coal was 25 shillings a ton to receive a full supply for s year, to lm delivered when needed at the price agreed on. When the Atlantic left coal had gone up to 30 shillings, and the captain believea that tlie contractor, to save loaa from the rise of coal, furnish ed a very inferior quality, probably that which ha<l long been el posed to the sir and hail lost its heating properties, be side tiring English coal, which is much inferior to Welsh coal. In answer to a question whether the officers considered 970 tons of coal, at 70 tons a day, a sufficient supply for the voyage, he said they had no idee that they were going to bum 70 tons a day. The average con sumption haa been, according to the quality of the coaJ, from 60 to 65 tons a day ; but that amount would not run the ship, for tlie coal wsa half wood and half stone in heating quality. There WHS no complaint from the passenger* about eouiiug into Halifax. He had told them that they would have eight or uiue hours here, and they were glad of it, as they wsuted to see the plane. 'Hie captain feels inteusely the severi ty with which censure is passed on his conduct. During the conversation his feelings almost wvercame him. "I have j lost my profession ; lam ruined for life," he said. " What more can I suf ! fer? If it were not for my wife and throe little children at home I should never have been hero ; I*d have stuck to that vessel till the last, and then gone down with her. The one thing that re buke* me, which I cannot keep out of my mind, which will remain with me as long ss I live, is that I waa too confi dent -too confident. I thought I knew just where my vessel waa. I thought 1 was a long way eastward from Kambro Light. Had the position of the pre vious day been one of uncertainty, there would have been greater blame, but we hail made it as certain as human judg ment and ingenuity can make it The different observers and different instru ments all agreed, and the shin's posi tion was true to her length on the ocean at noon. The papers that have charged ipe with intemperance have done me great injustice. I promised Thomas lamay that not a drop of liquor should cross"my lips on that vessel, and never broke that promise. Gentlemen would sometimes come into my room and ! smoke and drink themselves and I would sometimes bet with passengers on the day's run. If they won they took a glass of porter; if I won I'd take a | cigar, but no liquor. The one tiling j that I regret is that I was too sure of my course." " Captain," I "id, " if yon had on dork would this accident have oc curred V ..... •• Never, air. never," ho replied with groat pcwitivenesa. " I had ordorod my boy to rail mo at 2:40, and bring mo a nip of cocoa ; my intention was to take the cocoa and smoke a cigar, and bo ready to go on dork when the officer* railed mr at 3, but they stopped the boy, and did not call mr till 10 or 15 minute* past 3. It was too late then," ho added mournfully. "It is incom prehensible to me," he said, " why ther did not see the light nor the rock*. If I had been railed at 3 wo should hare been two or three miles further out. If the night had been stormy or foggy it would not hare occurred, for my officers would bare called ruu. quick enough. I had no reason to doubt the efficiency of the second officer. On one occasion on the outward passage, when the ship wa* in fpdc, only going two miles an hour, the air thick and rainy, we met a sailing Teasel close to the steamer, bore to under a mainsail and foresail, • goose wing.' It was impossible to stop or go around her, but instant action was required. '1 here are two telegraphs to the engineer, one near the second officer and one near me, and both sprang simultaneously to the telegraphs, and rang for more" steam. We shot ahead and passed her. From his acting just precisely as he did I judged he was a man of * resource who would do what I would do under similar circumstances. How he lost his head on that occasion I cannot tell, bat, poor fellow, he has gone ! If he had left the life-boat when I called him ha wonld hare bean aarcd too." The evidence of Quartermaster ThoroM excited the acorn and indignation of the officers, who pronounce it "humbug." It ia very evident, I think, that a very large discount must lie made for exag geration. The captain, on whom thu evidence does not reflect, says that on a veasel where the gradations of rank were so strongly marked, the idea of a quartermaster leaving the wheel and going to adviw the second officer is absurd. " He wa* a pretty officer," said the captain ; "one of the first to look out for hit own life. The man ia simply seeking notoriety. Third Officer Itrady and Mr. Firth "gave about the Mme opinion of him. The fourth officer ad mits that Thomas asked him if he should go aloft, and that he told him it was too soon. " What do yoa think of that ?" I said to the captain. " I wish to Got) he had let him ; it could have done no harm." The captain then pare a vivid and circumstantial account of the wreck, which ueed aot be repeated, for every detail in thia history is only another tooth to the harrow. He is certain that one of tho women he carried up in the ripping was Miss Herymser of New York. " Bhe was one of the moat fascinating ladies I ever saw," he said ; " I had le --oome very much attached to her. Bhe came and threw her arms around my neck, and I carried her np in the rin ging. My God, I can feel that woman's arms around me now. I only know of one instance there of a husband's de serting his wife. It was the husband of the woman steerage passenger who died in the rigging by Mr. Firth. Bhe told him to gc, and he left her. He was saved, and when he reached the shore I saw him wave his hand to her. "In regard to the erew, there were manv of them who were pretty hard. Since the repeal of the act compelling every ship-owner to carry a certain num ber of boys for every ton's register that he owns, the quality of seamen has de generated. Now, out of a crew of forty men it is a luckv chance if von get 10 noon who know % lead from a handnpika. It has been s crying shame the quality of seamen we have to take, but there are no others to be had. The men that used to go to sea can make on shore three times the wages tlist they can bv going to sea. My vessel is no isolated ease. It is the same with every steamer going out of Liverpool. They would not le worth much in an emergency, but at the wreck of the Atlantio they oonld not do much. I have no com plaint to make of their behavior." Capt. Williams thinks the baggage of most of the saloon passengers will bo saved, and he goes down to assist the wreckers. He will remain here doing what he can to aid Capt. Merritt Throughout the investigation he has been entirely candid and taken no ad vantage through legal form or quib blea. He has no desire to shirk the fearful responsibility which he assumed and whioh still rests upon him. He is s broken down man. "My God 1" he said as I left him, "it is horrible ! It all seems to me lika a fearful night mare." Poor man I Can he ever be happy again ? COWVTCTS PERISHED.— Some days ago the schooner Lark sailed from San Diego, CaL, for Eusendaa." Among the paesengers were six convicted murder ers, to be taken to La Pax, Lower Cali fornia. The bodies of the felons have been found washed ashore, and chained together.
