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

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,

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.

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.

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,

The Mormon Prophet,
Brig hum Tonne •! What ll* Ha* Don*
(br Hi* Ptsph.
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

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.

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

survivors the sailors rc|>cntedlY pushed

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,

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 ?

Tim Ifrwnißior* Pswimnoxßn.—The
mystery of the infernal machine which
recently nearly killed an English rawn
broker to whom it had been sent, when
he attempted to open it with a kev, has
been cleared up in the moet satisfactory
manner. The villain who devised the
destruction of the pawnbroker was
none other than the pawnbroker him
self, who baa kindly explained that he
himself waa the couoocier of the mur
derous design. Not only had he thus
attempted to blow himaeli np, bnt it
appears from his own acoount that for
several years he haa been in the habit
of sending threatening letters of a dia
bolical natnre to himaeif, and that a
stab which he received some time ago,
as was supposed from the hands of an
unknown enemy, waa indicted br him
self upon himaeif, though what be had
done to incur his own animosty he haa
not yet explained.
Are you a mechanic, and do yon eat
the bread of honest industry f Do yon
go cheerfully in the morning to your
labor end return at night to a bright
ftrvktdc t And are yon saving money
and investing it carefully each year
against some possible day of need?
Very welL This is all right. Bnt you
can save a large sum at once bv taking a
policy of insurance on your life. By so
doing you protect your familv now.
Think of it, and as you certainly want
the beet, apply to an agent of the New
York Life Insurance Company for par
ticulars, or send your address to the
