All were ex ulting, and the sailors cracked over the galley fire tlie possible price of money to each, and the master dreamed of a prin cely independence. Several days thus past over ; we had broken Into the cargo, and what we con sidered of valpe, and the sea had not damaged was hauled on deck, and the schooner became pretty wpll laden. T think it was about the last day of working, as wo were down in thtt'hell, that Crow again wended his way toward -the cabin. .By this time my suspicions regarding his evil Intentions were quieted, yet tber ■ still lingered about him truces of obsti nate sulkiness, so that X took very little notice of his operations, and I busied myself about different *hlngs in the hold of the vessel. I-thlnk about half an hour must have passed by when I returned to the hell; and I was startled by the cunntnfe wick ed'cast of Crow’s countenance; he was shuffling something beneath his diver’s clothes, as the Inst of it disappeared T jrnessed it was a bag, and the. thought flashed across my mind—a hag of money. I quietly asked Crow what it.was. ‘Humph ! nothing. Wbat have you to do with it'?’ lie growled.

Let rlie leader imagine the scene in a bell forty feet under water. It would take at least twenty minutes to puli It up. A fierce fight, perhaps a deadly one, might be finished by then. Suspicion might be hushed; the body would be flung to the ravenous sharks which we sometimes had (o combat with our sharp pointed crowbars; - but our .frightful gloomy appearance, might have been enough to terrify the inhabitants of the deep.

An English Baby Show.—An enter prising itinerant auctioneer determined upon introducing a novelty, and created a sensation amongst the poor-mothers In the Jofnllly ■ t>y holdinc; « buliy uliow.— There were several prizes, and presently the door of the caravan leading on to the stage from which the auctioneer disposes ot his wares, was opened, and the mam mas came forward in single file with their cherubs in their arms and formed a row in front of the assemblage. * The only difficulty that arose was as to. whoshnuld judge. Three men near to' the caravan mounted the rostrum, amidst some mer riment, which was increased tenfold, as, commencing at one end of the row, one of I hem took the babies in rotation in bis arms, and raised them up and down as 'though the job was one to which lie win not at all unaccustomed. This appealed as though the decision was to be accord ing to weight, and, one young woman was present with twins, the suggestion was made that they should both be taken into account when the result was being arrived at. Borne of the babes presented a rather sickly appearance, and did not seem at all to relish their position. After a good deal of careful examination the decision of the judges and of the crowd generally was given in favor of a plump little infant, whose parents rejoice in the name of Winterboltom. Another prize was>giveu to the child that was dressed In the neatest manner. It was Ireely bandied about that a show of young wo men would be a not unnatural sequence. Signs.—When you see the sun you get out of bed, It is a sign that you wouldn't do lor a farmer. When you see a boy throwing stones on the streets and speaking Impudently to old people, It is a sign that his parents don't cure rnuoh for him. When you see a girl throwing kisses and winking at the boys as they pans her window, it Isa sign that she Is too young to be out of sight of her maternal relative. When you see young gentlemen and ladles whispering, and giggling, ami writing notes in church, it is a sign that the man who teaches good manners omitted to give them a call when ho came along the last time* A KNOWING HOUSE. During tlie early settlementof Wlscon ! Bin—op the wilderness part of It, at least —I wna frequently employed by corres pondents, from abroad to search out cer tain sections of land and report as to their value, timber, qualify of soil, etc In distdiah'ing this duty, I usually went on horseback, using a favorite old family horse. To find the particular section de scribed, I would first find a surveyor's ‘blazed llpe, f and follow it up until I found a * corner post,' where I could find the * cornet" tree * marked with the num ber of thejtownahip, range and section of which 'the post was the boundary ; then, by nj glance at the map, I could cell at one? the distance and direction of •the sectlorj I was in search of, and would follow the blazed lines accordingly. On one occasion, a dismal, foggy day, I had gone a longer distance from home than usual, and into a part of the wilderness that was strange to me. After making the survey, the fog came on so very thick that. I dare not take my usual course of Returning by a direct route, without re gard to the angles of.the surveyor, but s'arted on a blazed line leading nearest to the required direction. Before going fur I came U, a hog or marsh, which was impassable on horseback, and X was forced to cr° **- T had ant. on the opposite side, T could nof*find (he line-again, and, after searching some Mule time. I gave it up, and threw the reins upon the neck of-the horse . and hade him go home; preferring to trust to his Instinct to find the way, rather than to my judgment ns to the proper direction to ho taken. We Had not, gone many rods before I noticed the blazed trees for which I bad been looking, and mv curiosity was at once excited lb know whether the horse really noticed the faint marks on the trees, and was guided by them. Accordingly I left the reins per fectly free, and was snob satisfied beyond doubt (hat such was the fact, for, on corning to a fallen tree or other obstruc tion, he wouhi go round it, return to the line, and follow it without mistake; in fact beseemed to find the line more readi-. ly than I could myself. Afterward, I ’'tested him time and again. It made no difference whether the direction was to or from home. If the direction was from home,-on coming to a cnrher po°t, he would make a atop, as if to inquire whether to keep straight on, or turn to the right or left* This wad only one of many knowing traits displayed by him: But. notwithstanding the old fellow was so docile and knowing, I could never -persuade him to let me shoot game from Ilia hack ; and altera few attempts, I was forced to give it up.

He was gentle and docile enough while in hand, but once loose, there was no ouch thing as catching him again by any of the ordinary means used for catching horses. In fact, the man from whom I purchased him, after chasing him foi days with relays of horses from his livery stable, had been ohliged.at last to * create’ him, In order to catch him, i. e, 1 to shoot him through the (op of the neck, just above the neck-bone, temporarily para lyzing him. without doing permanent injury.

At last f began to cast about for the reason why he would not venture 10-en terthe stable while the door Stood Invi tingly open ami no person in sight* and I came to the conclusion that the horse reasoned after this manner : *As long a* the lights are burning in the house, peo ple are stirring about, and I am llaMo t’o after the lights are out, lhoj;c is no more stir for the night, and If the door was left open, TmTght venture in with safety.’ Taking it for granted that I had solved the problem correctly, I laid my plans accordingly. Attaching one end of a’rope to the handle of the stable door, I passed the-Other end tlirou-’h the window of the house, which commanded a view of the situation, and at the usuaUimir, for retiring, i had the lights put out, and everything kept quiet, tho result was as I had hoped, lather than expected. The lights hud not been out more than ten or fifteen minutes, before the horse cautiously entered the stable. The trap wa-*. sprung, and we had him safe. How this affVcted his reasoning faculties I can’t fell, but ho must evi dently have considered himself taken In. That the horse would not have gone into the stable had the lights been left burn ing, I do not pretend to say, I give the /acts'as they occurred.

It Is well known that during the revo lutionary warwJn Northern Italy, in 1818 and 1849, the Austrian commanders caus ed a number of aristocratic ladies who . had participated in some patriotic demon stration, to be brutally whipped by Cro atia soldiers in front of the jails, and In the presence of large crowds of specta tors. Thus in Breslus the Countess of Ferrari, a young married lady of twenty five, who. had collected money for the revolutionary volunteers, was placed be fore military commission of Austrian ofllcere, and by direction of Lieutenant Field Marshal Nelpperg, sentenced to re ceive fifty strokes with the verges. On the same afternooiKfc'she was led on the Place d’Annea, and after having being, stripped almost naked, tied to a bench, she received her punishment at tiie bands of two stalwart Croats, who were armed with formidable bunches of birch rods. — Every stroke of them must have been in tensely painful, but the countess did not utter a sound ‘of complaint. At the twenty-fifth stroke, however,she fainted, and when her executioners bad inflicted the full nuinberofslrokeson herseuseless body, she was carried back In an almost lifeless condition to her cell,.and thrown on a bundle of straw.' She never fully eieu mitn ii.« ivrhii,i n , and died a few months afterwards. This is only one case out of many. The fath ers, husbands, brothers and sons of these martyred Italian ladies formed, in the year 1850, a secret league for the purpose of mating out punishment to the brutal Austrian commanders who had ordered their mothers, wives and sisters to be chastised in tills cruel manner. They rraolved to bide-their time, and to pick off the Austrians whenever an opportu nity to do so presented itself. Two years ago great excitement was created in Aus tria by the assassination of an Austrian General, in Illyria, by a young Italian 'nobleman, who thus avenged bis mother, who hud been terribly flogged, by order of the general. The avenger succeeded in making bis escape, and. the Austrian government did not take pains to obtain his extradition from the Italian author! ties. The other day a similar tragedy took place In the neighborhood of Loy hach, wheroNeipperg, the principal actor in the cruel scene which was narrated above, owned a country seat. On the 24th of April, a well dressed young stran ger presented himself at the chateau and told the servant who opened the door to him, that he desired to see Count Nelp perg. 'The Count is In the garden.— Khull I cull him, asked theaorvant. 'No,' replied the young stranger, ‘take me to the garden and I shad see his Excellen cy, there.’ The servant conducted him to the garden, in rather a remote part of tVhieh they met Neipporg, who was jromenading with his daughter, a young ad 3* of twenty-two. The stranger, ad dressing Neipperg, said to him: T am Count Ferrari I. What did you do to ruy mother?’ Neipperg looked at him in surprise. The next moment Count Fer rari plunged a knife into his breast, ahd despite the frantic attempts of the young Countess Neipperg, succeeded In making his escape. .

Breakfast ended, they pace the Boulevards, or go up and down the Avenue dee Champs El voces, perambu late the public gardens, fill the museums, all of which are open on Sundays, or choke the railway’s suburban trains. Nobody knows fatigue on Sunday in Paris, so when nluht comes gin excellent dinner is despatched, (which the major* ity of shop-keepers eat at some res'au rant, that their omnibus servant, who does all work, from emptying the offal*box to lending a band to the wifelfthen dres sing, may, like her master, gad about town,) they go to the theatre. The plav is the piece In vogue ; nr, If the latter he in the gloss of novelty, a half dozen pieces are given; Sunday audiences pre fer quantity to quality.

Guerillas representing ■both parties kept it so warm In that for saken region that It was dangerous to be long to either side. McGill had In try ing Ui ri*lc (xitli hornes, grot several bleolc jackings from first the rebels and then the Yankees. As all the guerillas dress ed. alike, he made several mistakes in trying to pass for either Union or South ern, as'he thought would suit the crowd- At last he was overtaken by a party whose politics he couldn't even guess at, and the following dialogue ensued : ‘Sir, are you a Union man ?' ‘No,’ responded McGill. a ‘Are you a rebel, then ?’ ‘No, sir, I’m not a rebel, either.’ ‘Then what In the devil’s name are you?’ roared (he captain. ‘Well, sir,* hesitated McGill, ‘to tell you the real truth, I’m—nothing—and but d d little of that.’ A California Dose.—The wife of a California farmer being sick, her physi cian ordered some powder largely com posed of opium, and directed her husband to administer the weight of a quarter eagle at a dose. In the morning, when the doctor returned the pfttlent was dead, and evidently of poison. ‘Unhappy man,’ said the doctor, where is the powder I gave you ?' M gave it to her. Hero is the empty box.' ‘You forgot my prescription then.’ ‘Ko, doctor.

Tfovr to Ores* Well* It is the duty of nil, young and old, to. make their person, ns faros practicable, agreeable to those with whom they ore thrown in contact. By this, we mean, they should not offend by singularity or sloveltucss. If you are a roan, let nobody tell by your appearance what trade you follow. You dress your person, not your business. Be careful, ladies, to mould the fashion of the times to your own per sonal peculiarities. Fashion fa to be the servant, not your master; therefore,never dress in the extreme of fashion; and only adopt it as far as is convenient with your face and figure. That which will not suit one person becomes another; and for all to follow the same model is obviously absurd. The exercise of a little judgment bn your part will enable you to adopt as much of the prevailing style in ybiir drees to show that you are acquainted with the fashion, and without sacrificing your personal appearance to a scrupulous conformity to its laws. The best possible impression you can. make by your dress Is to make no irapre-slon at all, but so to harmonize its material and shape with your own figure that it becomes part of you; ami people without recollecting bow you were clothed, will remember that you looked well and were dressed becom- Jhn*y- It may be said that attention to dress is (Jftngomtio. < Ur. *!.*..*. - uAuavn gantiy-dressed people are seldom dressed well.

A casts of more than ordinary interest to farmers was tried in the court In Nor ristown, Montgomery county, last week. Mr. John Kennedy, a highly respected and well known citizen of Upper Merlon township, was arrested by-cue agent of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Mr. !£• is a well known cat- tle dealer, and has been In the habit of muzzling the cows'cal ves for from twenty to twenty-four hours previous to the sale, for the purpose of “bagging’’ or swelling of the row’s udders, and this the society claimed to be cruelty to animals.
