A WORD FITLY SPOKEN. " My mother never hal soar bread." This was a most unfortunate remark, and Mr. Penney was conscious of it as soon as the words were ont; bnt this did not hinder him from going on much in the same strain. •* Of oouree I don't know how she managed it, bnt I remember she used to talk about setting her sponge over aight, and then in the morning she was always up as soon as the girl was. And the dough was kneaded and kneaded, and when it came out of the oveu it was aa white as the driven snow, and as aweet as honey." Mrs. Penney's face was scarlet. " I did my best, John," was just trembling on her tongue, but this last elaborate description of the bread-making modus operandi of his maternal parent turned the diaappointment she had felt in not pleasing her husband into gall and bitterness, and she answered in- stead in a mocking tone : "Aa white as the driven snow, and as sweet aa honey ! I have seen it stated somewhere that men are not given to Soch slight coloring, though, I suppose, is excusable, when u io*" ia speaking of his mother's superiority over his wife. Hereafter, Mr. Penney, if baker' 6 bread does not suit your appetite, the kitchen is at ▼our disposal to set yoar sponge, and knead and knead ! and I have no doubt that when vou take your mess from the oven it will be as white and as aweet as ever your mother's was." Just here Mrs. Penney arose, moved the baby's chair away from the table, and, with the chnbby year-did in her anna, sought the privacy of her own chamber. Mr. Penney followed. "There's no need of getting in a huff, Mary," he said, as he closed the doer. In this matter of continuation the gentleman was swayed by two entirely opposite and antagonistic motives. He did not like to go to business with a clond between him and his wife, and he did want the last word. No doubt Mr. Penney thought by having the last word he could dissipate the shadows be had so heedlessly evoked— but, of oonrse, he was nnsneceasf nl. "It is my opinion," he proceeded, " that if von were to rise a little earlier, before the dough had time to soar, yon would have just as good lack as mother had." "I haven't slept three consecutive hoars for the last two months, with this baby, John Penney; and that you know as well as I do ; and yet you'are thoughtful enongh to ask me to get np in the morning when the cook does, in order that your whim may be satis fied." "A whim, is it, to be careful of one's stomach! to preler good bread to poor ! Why, that bread yon pnt before me this morning wasn't fit for a—for a —" John Penney hesitated for a mo ment, but finally it came ont—he really did say it, reader—for a hog to eat." Mrs. Penney wae on the point of say ing something especially rasping, if not actually insulting, but she wan checked by a timid rap on the door, and the en tranee of a sad-faced, delicate woman, who colored slightly as she noted the embarrassment of her hostess. " I found that I could spare you to day, Mrs. Penney," fhe explained. " You know I thought I should not be able to sew for you until next week; but Mrs. Smith was very ill this morn ing, and could not go on as she in tended, so, if you like, I will commence yonr work." Mr. Penney withdrew with a single good morning to the intruder. In one sense, bad come off conqueror ; he had had the laat word, after all, and that was victory enough. Mary wouldn't try to feed him with sour bread, he was very sure. " Husbands should assert themselves sometimes," he informed himself, on the wsy to business. What would become of them if they didn't ? He had been married two yeare, and housekeeping six months; while they were boarding everything was as smooth as oil; but they hadn't more than be oome domiciled in their own house be fore trouble commenced. The baby was sick, and the mother complaining. Than Mary had never been instructed ta domestic matters She oould sew, FRED. KURTZ. KditoraudlVopriotor. VOL. VI. and crochet, ami embroider, was very fond of reading, understood music, was considerable of an artist, a good deal of a woman, and with the proper forbear , ance, and the exercise of a decent amount of tact, would have been the best wife in tho world(ao she thought.) During the days of eourtship, and the tlrst few months of married life, she sras the subject of unlimited pet ting. Her will was her husband's law ; bnt, after the birth of the baby, ami the added re.<|ansibilify of housekeep ing, everything changed. Mr. Penny ! did not, could not, take into considers ; turn that these cores had also made a ! difference in her; that the had changed also ; she could not feel—wives never oan—that there was anything amiss with her—that the cloud on her brow and the nervousness of her manner radiated a magnetism unmistakably re pellant. Hail Mrs, Penney remaiued healthily sunny, baker's bred would undoubtedly have satisfied Mr. Penney. Deprived of the joy he needed, and had been accustomed to, he turned, man fashion,to finding fault with what, under other circumstances, he never would have considered for a momout. " You are not well this morning, Mrs. Penney," said the kind voice of the seamstress, as the lady nervously brought out the material she wished made up. "No, I am not very well," she re plied, apparently more to herself than to her companion ; " bnt I don't mind so much about that, I nieau 1 could hear HI health very well, if 1 didn't nave other things to trouble me." The pale face *>f the dressmaker lighted up wonderfully, as she met the tired eyes of her companion. "My dear Mrs. Penney," said she with sadden inspiration, " will you al low me to express my thought ? Per haps it may be of service to you. I have hail a very hard life, and only by personal experience haTe I ever learned anything ; experience of the richest and most agonizing description." " I wish you would tell me some thing," replied Mrs. Peuney, with a quiver of the sensitive lip. " I am doing the best 1 can, and yet, Mrs. Harris, I am tailing utterly in aoeow- Elishing that which is dearest to my eart—the happiness of my husband, and the comfort of my home." * Ton think yon are doing the best vou can," continued tho seamstress ; j here yon are mistaken." " But, Mrs. Harris," interrupted the lady, with an offended air. " Wait one moment, and I will ex plain —prove the truth of my statement by your own words. You acknowledged, a moment ago. that yon were not well, ! bnt that this fret waa of small import ance compared with other things. Now, I maintain that health ia the groundwork of all happiness, the be- ; ginning and end of all progress. With out health yon can all pro re be a com panion for your husband, and a wise mother to vour child, than yonr hus band could be a good business man without it. This, then, is the firs' thing to bo considered. Yonr nerves are rasped, yonr child is more of a burden thau'a joy, your pretty house an unpleasant responsibility, your hus band seems inconsiderate and unappre ciative ; and the demon that has brought about this complete metamorphosis lies entirely in yourself—your present lack of a healthy foundation." "Bat John doesn't seem to sympa thize with me in these cares," broke in Mrs. Penney. "I tell him in the morn ing how troublesome the baby has been, all he ever say? is, *l# that so, sis? I've heard mother aay that child ren are very apt to be cross at that age. You'd better lie down when the baby does to-day, and get a good snooze.' " Exactly," %aid the seamstress. "Do you ever act upon this advice?' "No, how can I? All the time I have to sew and attend to things is when the baby is asleep." " Better let things go without atten tion until the little one is less trouble." " And then John would find fault with the disorder." "I do not think so. Your nervous condition makes a nervous atmosphere that your husband, feels aasoon as he enters it The real difficulty he does not realize any more than yourself. The elements are discordant. He is immediately thrown out of equilibrium, and in trying to restore himself he takes hold of the wrong string, and the resnlt is domestic chaos. Woman must make the home. There is no way of getting round the fact. Yonr husband makes his place of business—makes the money for yon to adorn the nest with, which he* has a right to expect com fortable when he flies to it at night. ' But ia a husband to have no responsi- ! bilitv in home matters ?" " Yon would not think of finding fault with your husband because nature had not endowed him with the means of providing his baby with tho first food it needs ?" Mrs. Penney laughed. " That seems very ridiculous, does it not ? and yet it is no more so than the hundred axd one things women demand of their hnsbands, that they are equally unable to give. Woman is tha natural nurse of the man as well as of the man child? By norse, in the first instance, I mean the comforter and inapirer. Without health you can be neither. What, then, is the result ? Yon know as well as I do. Sometime* divorce, sometimes desertion, sometimes a drag ging ont of an existence more terrible than either." " I wish yon had heard Mr, Penney find fault with the bread this morning," said the little lady, dreamily. " The bread was something tangible, something he could get hold of. The real difficulty was not. Something needed straightening ont; he tried to make himself believe it was the bread be was irritated abont, but my dear Mrs. Penney, it waa something far hack of that ; I have no donbt I oonld trace it by actual gradation ; bnt at tho bot tom" was the disordered state of yonr nerves, caused by neglected health. Get well, and your bread will be all right." " Do yon really think so, Mrs. Har ris ? bnt how shall I get well ?" "By taking advantage of every pos sible moment to make up the sleep yon have lost; by arranging with yonr ser vant, even by paying her more wages.to take care of the baby while yon go ont to ride, or walk, or to make a visit; to change conditions as often as you can make it convenient, and especi ally to arrange to aooompany your hus band when he desires you to be with him." " Oh, John hates to go out alone of an evening. Last night he hurt me dreadfully by saying that if the baby kept on interfering with bis pleasure he should dub it a nuisance ! Poor little baby > He wants me to have a nurse; but how can I trust a stranger with my treasure ?" ' There it is—as plain as sunlight. In this last remark you have shown me yourself and husband exaetly. Your husband wants you, and is lonely and discontented without you. He caunst feel the same tenderness for the child that you do, so be sensible and not de mand it. You are divided between your lov# for your husband and your love for year baby. You have fretted yourself into a state of illness and ac tual discomfort, because you cannot serve both at you feel they should be •erred. If yonr husband wants another THE CENTRE REPORTER. servant you should obey him, for in this he is wiser than you." '• Oh, Mrs. Harris, if you could ouly live with us!" After this the way was made plain. There was a few jars at tlrst, but com nicu sense, good health, and the good nature that ooutea of both, arranged all at last; and Inith husband and wife bless the sugel that was sent iu the guise of a aem stress. The rih*kj of To-day. My dear air- you with lhat glass of whisky at your lips, if von were to see a man go into a drug-store and pur chase a pint of raw alcohol, and take that alcohol out and mix it with water, and driuk it, TOO would say he was an old guzzler. You would suy lro must have a stomach like the bottom of a tip cart. And yet that is just what you have at your lips; only yonr beverage is not so pure as his. Yours it drugged, and his is not. Time was when mm and whisky and gin were distilled to a pereeutag© which admitted of a retaining of the quality and flavor of the organic material. In whisky and gin much of the nutritive matter of the grain was retained ; and the old rum which our grandfathers drai.k contained a considerable percent age of organic saccharine matter. Those liquors were honestly distilled. They came from the retorts and receivers just aa they were going into the market only lacking age to give them smooth ness. Cut it is not so now. There is no honesty in the market. A man may, bv payiDg" the price, have something like aii honest liquor made to his es pecial order; btit he cannot find it in the market, because if i not therm. Some years since—tcu years, I think— I was in the office of a hotel iu Conway, N. H.. and was there introduced to a gentleman who was a traveling agent of Lougwortb, the vine-king of Cincinnati, aud also taking orders for one or two Kentucky whisky ban sea. From the subject of wine the conversation turned upon whisky. I had saielled of some which he called pure Bourbon, aud which had fairly nauseated me. " Why is it,""said I, in the earnest ness of entire innocence, " that I can not find anywhere such whisky as I used to get on board ship, as Naval ra tion, five-and-twenty years ago ?" The agent was for s time silent and thoughtfuL By and by he uodded, and said to me, — " It isu't made !" "Isn't made?" I repeated, wouder inglT. " No," he added. " There is no such thing a* the whisky of eommerse dis tilled to-dsy, except to the especial or der of customers for individual use." Seeing my wonderment unabated he ■rent on to explain. I qnote his exact language so far, at least, as important particulars are concerned. Said he, — " They don't make it because it don't pay. The same amount of labor, time, anil cost of manufacture—of eoursa barring materials—required to throw over tier t/arreU of the old-faahioned Monongahela whiskey of which you speak, will, with the new appliances of science, throw over one hundred barrel* of erudo spirits (coarse alcohol). The result ia, that all spirit ia thus distilled. It is then rectified aud diluted, and color and flavor given by artificial means." There yon have it, air. The stuff you are drinking is not whisky. That eth er atuff is not brandy. They never were, and never can be, whisky or brandy, as a credulons public think them to be. The organic matter destroyed by intense distillation con never bo replaced. They are fooling you, my dear fellow ; ami you will fool yourself if vou don't let it alone. If you have a Lead made of wood, and s stomach of iron, you may last a few years and drink it; bnt if you be human," with rapacity for human en joymeut and hnmau suffering, give this liquid scourge a clean go-by, and never return to it. California Wood-Choppers. It is in tho logging camp* that a stranger will be most interested on this coast; for there he will see and feel the bigness of the redwoods. A nan in Humboldt county got ont of one tree lumber enongh to moke his house and barn, and to fence in two acres of ground. A schooner was filled with shingles made from a single tree. One tree in Mendocino, whose remains were shown to me, made a mile of railroad ties. Trees fourteen feet in diameter have been frequently found and cut down ; tho saw-logs are often split apart with wedges, because the entire mass is too large to fioat in the narrow and shallow streams, and T b*ve even seen them blow a log apart wi.u gunpowder. A tree four feet in diameter is called undersized in these woods; and so skillful are the wood-choppers that they can make the largest giant of the forest fall just where they want it, or, as they say, they " drive a stake with the tree. The choppers do not stand on the ground, but on stages raised to snch a height as to enable the ax to strike in where the tree attains its fair and regular thickness; for the red wood, like the seqnoia, swells at the base, near the ground. The trees pre fer steep hill-sides, and grow in an ex tremely rough and broken country, and their great height makes it necessary to fell them carefully, lest they shonhf, falling with snch nri enormous weight, break to pieces. This constantly hap pens in spite of every precaution, and there is little donbt that in these forests and at the mills two feet of wood are wast-. I The " Doctor*" Kiot" iu 17HH was the i moat exciting eveut in tho annals of New York etty, the jail figuring eon suiouously as the object of attack of the rioters. During the winter ol 1737 and 17 HA, various rumors were circu lated in regard to a number of dead bsdtesbavuig been removed by stealth from, not only the public grounds, known as the " Butter's Field and " Negroes' Burial Ground," but from the mauy private cemeteries of the city, which, gmuitig strength, aa all rumors will bv being passed from one to unoth ' ©r, were attributed to the medical slu deuts, and awakened a violent prejudice against the entire medical profession. There waa of course some little foun dation for the rumor, but the facts at last became greatly exaggerated, cul miuatiug iu the most absurd reports, so that the New York Hospital—a* the time the ouly one iu the city—was re garded with "superstitious horror by the people, childreu and weak-iuiuded grown persous shunning it after dark as one would a pestilence. On the 13th of April, while the pub lic mi ml waa iu this excited state, some students thoughtlessly exposed the limb of body from the window of the disaectiug-room in sight of a crowd of Imys who were in the rear of the hos pital. One of the boys, who had lately bat his mother, becoming greatly ex cited, ran hastily home and alarmed his father bv msistiug that it was bis moth er's body that he saw. The news spread like wildfire, and being instantly caught up by the unemployed c-owds who were loitering iu the streets to en joy the leisure of the day, a rush wo* made for the building, so that an im mense multitude speedily assembled, and, besieging the hospital, burst open the doors, destroying a collection of anatomical preparation*, the most of which had been imported from abroad. Some fresh subjects for dissection were discovered, which were borne away aud interred in triumph. The alarmed physicians aud students attempted to secrete themselves, but being fouud were dragged from their hiding places, and would surely have been sacrificed to the fury of the mob, had not the magistrate# interfered ami lodged them in jail for safety. Satisfied with their work of vengeance, the crowd dispersed, and the physicians flattered themselves that the work of destruction was over, but they were miatakeu ; it was but the beginning of the play, for the next morning the crowd reassembled with fresh reinforce ments and avowed their purpose of searching the houses of the u*pecn to deliver the victims over to certain and immediate dest.*uction. Alarmed at the hostile demonstration and the ex tremely threatening attitude that they had aasnmed, the Mayor, James Dnane, promptly called out the militia, and, about three o'clock, dispatched a small party te the defense of the refugee*, which was suffered by the mob to paas without molestation. A reinforcement of twelve men, however, who were dis patched to their aid an hoar after, were arrested and disarmed In-fore they reached the jail. Elated with this sac cvas, the mob next attacked the build iug, but were beaten back by the hand - ful of militia who had been first sent tliere, and who maintained thir ground against desperate odds. The alarm spread throughout the city, which became a scene of intense excitement, as the mob being unable to force the jail, tore down the fences and broke the windows, vowing destruction to every medical practitioner in the eity. The crowd abont the building increase.! every moment, and the ]>osition of affairs became alarming, when slont dnsk tho Mayor marched with a large body of armed citizens to the relief of the\>esiegcd, while all the friends of law and order hastened to the spot and vainly exerted their eloquence to allay the tempest and prevent the shedding of blooa, bat thev were assailed in re ply by a volley of stones and brickbats, one of which* struck John Jay (after ward Governor of New York) in the forehead, while he was earnestly entreat ing the multitude to disperse, felling him to the earth aud wounding him severely. Finding all other arguments in the Mayor determined to fire upon tho riotera" Baron Stenben, who had become endeared to the citizens by his devotion and patriotism, interposed in their behalf, and implored the Mayor to desist, but before he could finish the entreaty, a stone whizzed through tho air and laid him prostrate. "Fire, Mayor, fire !" cried he, before he had touched the ground. Duauo no longer hesitated, the order was given ; the militia obeyed and a number of the rioters fell at the first volley, while tho remainder dispersed without waiting for the seeond. Five persons were killed in the fray and several seriously wounded. • For some days tho militia guarded tho jail, but no other attempts were made at violence. Tho offending students were sent into the country for s time, and public excitement became by degrees allayed, but the venerable hospital became for a time invested by the populace with a sort of horror, and was made the scene of many a fearful resurrectionist legend. A ludicrous incident, illustrative of the height of popnlar fury, occurred dur ing the riot, which was nearly attended with disastrous consequences. While the excitement was at its height a party of rioters chanced to pass the residence of Sir John Temple, the resident British Consul at New York, and mistaking the name of "Sir John" for "Surgeon," attacked it furiously, and were with difficulty restrained "from leveling it to the ground, but their mistake being made apparent to them, they were in duced to retire.

The associate* began by de positing two dollars a week each in a bank, aud when their joint deposit* had reached $5,000 they opened a small • •Dice in William street, with their President, Recietary, and one other member as the only employees It was understood that places were te be made for other stockholders as the business increased ; but as some of them were earning handsome wages inother offices, it was supposed that only a few would become workmen in their own office. Buch proved to be the fact. Business men favored the association with orders until the work to be done overtaxed the office, and it seemed necessary not only to enlarge the force of employees, but also to add consider ably to the stuck of printing materials. The association's entire capital had been invested in printing materials, and as they had to give thirty days' credit to their customers, they were necessarily in debt, and had no ready money with which to buy the needed material a If, as their business increased, more of the associates had gone to work in their own uflioe and drawn ouly a part of their individual earnings from the common treasury, they might have given thirty days' credit to many of their customers, and yet not been forced to sak thirty days' credit for themselves. But they employed men who had no pecuniary interest iu their enterprise, and those men drew their money in full every week. Thus they were drawn into the demoralising credit rystem, and their indebtedness waa largely in creased by the purchase of the types and machinery, which they had to buy ou time tp make their office capable of turning out their increased work. It soon became plain that 93,000 cap ital waa inadequate to the requirements of the business, and the capital waa ac cordingly raised suooeeaively to $lO.- 000, 915,000, aad 920,000. But despite the associates' beet management their book accounts more than kept pace with their strides in capital stock, and the debts which they were, as they theught, forced to incur ia the purchase of typca and machinery at length piled up a mountain of liabilities which, aa the eTent has proved, was destined to crush them. Meantime the associates looking upon an expansion of their business as the true way out of debt, bad leased s large building in lieekmaa street, and bound themselves to pay 94,000 a year there for. They hoped to sublet those parts of the place which their own material did not fill, and anticipated a conse quent reduction of their net rent to about 92,000. Their tenants, however, failed, and to this loas waa added the failure of aome young men whose ven tures the journeymen had fostered aa a means of keeping their own business up to a profitable mark. So their debt was lifted to 917,000. while their debtors owed them but 914,000; and not more than SIO,OOO of that sum was probably good, and their establishment, which had cost them 9*0,000, waa not salable in time of panic for much more than the difference between what they owed sad what might be collected from their debtors. This was their situation whim the cloud of the panic broke over their heads They could collect nothing; notes wore not negotiable; their credi tors pressed them; money was not to be borrowed or begged; their machinery could not be kept moving: failure waa inevitable, and an appeal to thelkmrt of Bankruptcy was viewed as the most honorable form of failure. The moral is plain: Learn to walk before you try to run. A Child Bride. While we were in the Court House in Linn last week listening to the testi mony in the case of the State vs. Lade, fer abandoning hia wife and children, a little girl was introduced as a witness. In manner and general appearance she waa simply a child, and we really thought ought, on account of her youth, have leen spared the ordeal to which wit nrwses in a court of jnatice are generally subjected. The first question asked by the attorney waa: " Are you a married lady f" Our astonishment can be better imagined than described when she promptly replied: "Tea, air." " How long have yen been married f asked the lawyer. •' Abont t#o veanu" " And how old are you now t" " I will be thirteen "in December." In reply to other questions, she sta ted that she and her husband had not lived together since their marriage, and that she waa induced to marry through the threats of her father, who had some mercenary object in view. After the adjournment of the court we sought and obtained an interview with the young lady and her mother in order to ascertain the particulars of this extraordinary marriage. The maiden name of this child bride was Christins Lase. She waa born in this county December 3, 1800. and wan mar ried to Michael Frankcwich (aged nine teen), January 1, 18?2. being at the time of her marriage only a few days over eleven year* of age! She stated to us that her father, by tnreata of pun ishment in case of refnsual, compelled her to consent to this untimely union, bidding her under severe penalties to state to the justice that she waa over fourteen years old. We cannot find language sufficiently severe to use in condemnation of the brute of a father who would thus offer up his child as a sacrifice in order to the accomplish ment ef some mere pecuniary purpose. He ought to be driven away in disgrace from the community which it can truly be said he pollutes by hia presence. Chamoit leader. LOST ms TITLE.—Young Baron Heine has fallen into trouble in Vienna—in fact, he seems to be no longer baron. He waa recently stopped in the Praters trasse for fast driving, but iu&tead of slackening his speed, lie gave the officer a cut across the face with his whip, and tried to escape. He waa soon taken bj the police, but a mob had gathered and he was with difficulty removed safely. He was tried for the offense of striking an officer in the discharge of his duty, and sentenced to fifteen months' imprisonment at hard labor, and the IOM of his nobility. Certain radical journals strongly protested against the latter part of the sentence, on the ground that making a nobleman a common citizen was no punishment whatever.

Herding Hkery ti New leile*, A hard ride over the plains and through the mod bilk Wrought as to the home stations of the herd. A small log-house, nearl/ surrounded by pens, into whkb the sheep are driven when sheared or when they are to be counted; the oonutior done generally fonr times a year. The rams are here sepa rated from the flock ; in fact, the wanta of the she-p and uoceesary branding, shearing, clearing off the ticks, etc., is performed. The but is a low structure covered with earth ; no windows bat with loopholes on each tide for defense in case Indians should make a raid on the premises, which does sometimes ooenr, especially at stations which nte in tbs vicinity of the Comanehss and Kiowas. Many n fat mutton has found its way to their saddle bows. The flocks usually start oat in the morning about sunrise ; the goats are first to move. With every flock of sheep three animals are indiwpeiiaebk ; they lead the wey. and can be driven, when without them it would be an im possibility to move the flock. These sheep seem to have inherited e habit of milling whenever the least excited—that is, to bnddle together and keep rum.. ;• ronnd and round the centre. They will not move from the seeming pivot on which they are turning. Bat when gusts are with them,they can be started in the direction required and the sheep follow. Bout dimes the flock will follow a donkey and seem to consider him the bead of the family, marching along after him day after day and month after month. The outfit ->f a flrat-olaas herder eon siate of two dockers for euryiaf sup plies, the teat, cooking utensils,blank ets, sad the huge water canteen. This is made of tin and will hold four or fire . gallons.' It is covered with a heavy , woolen cloth, which servse to keep it cool daring the heat of the day. A small Mexican pony and two or three good dogs, with the herder's assistant, complete the establishment Two sasa and three dogs will take ears of five thousand sheep. The wages paid the shepherds are from ten to fifteen dollars per month and board, white the over seer receives twenty-five or thirty dol lars. At night those immense flocks gather eloaely around the camp of the shepherds and sleep peacefully, guarded by well-trained dogs. These dogs are mostly of the Scotch Shepherd breed, and show wonderful sagacity and prowess in their midnight vigils, hold ing at bay the fiercest wolf, raising such a din ss to swsken their mestem, who, with well-directed shot, either kill or drive off the intruders. These large flocks roam at will over the vast plains, feeding ss they go, never sleeping two nights in the seme place, except at the home stations They will feed from two to ten miles in s dsy, followed by the heavily laden donkey, and atop wherever night overtakes them. The tent is pitched, the camp-fire te soon abiase, the mees-kettle over it, and the : sapper prepared. This often consists of wild tame vis: rabbit, qnail, ante lope, or deer, the shepherds making it a point not to kill a sheep unices they* are obliged., of necessity, to do so. The sheep have become so habituated te this manner of camping that they will not start until after breakfast and the tent has been struck and the don keys packed ; then the bleating of the flock announce* their departure. The shepherds calculate to reach water about once is three days bat they often travel seven or eight. The sheep of this country ere e email aod hardy race; I they clip abost two pounds of wool to the fleece ; the woof ia abort and fine, and (rem all that can be ascertained from tradition handed down through past generations, the sheep were pore Spanish Merino*, brought from Spain by Cortex's expedition.

At every station is you travel inland " King Sugar" takes up all available space; and in the ! rear of the line on both sides you have the cane-flafcls, and in the midst of them , the smoke of the steam engine, crush ing, boiling, refining more sugar. La j bnr and industry are the friends of the picturesque, and vast tracts of the island brought under cultivation are either dead level or slightly undulating ground. But here and there, especially on the southern and western coasts, nature baa not been unmindful of beauty. The valleys which oome down to Matansos, the rugged mass of hills rearing their summits above Trinidad, have enough to cbarm the eye, while the long ridge of the Sierra Maestra, sloping down to the ooast, wild and lonely, from Cape Crux to Santiago, Gnantanamo, ana all the way to Punts de Maise, may well challenge the ad miration of a beholder familiar with the grandest scenery of the Mediterranean coast. _ " The Iron-Clad Fleet.

Verily the tender passion dieth not About two years ago Lewis was married to Maria against the will of her relatives. The marriage was then afterwards declared null and void by the Court, owing to the lady not being of sound mind, and aha was sent to the lunatic asylum at Philadelphia, where she remained some nine mouths, when she was again brought home ana a close watch kept over ner. After repeated attempts she haa at last given them the slip and hied away with her lover. The lady in question is very wealthy, owning very nearly all the property around Mount Pleasant, from which iron ore is being taken.
