Arrival at Boston of the Tiny Boat City of. Ragum— A Three Months' Voyage — History and Incidents . LJ-Vom the Boston Herald, Sep. 9. Ninety days ago a tiny boat, less than twenty feet in length, and carrying two men and a dog, left Liverpool, England, with the avowed pm pose of crossing the Atlantic to New York. The bold and hazardous project Was the subject of much amazement at the time, and about 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon the tiny craft was signalled approaching our harbor.- At 6 o!dock the Collector’s tug started down the harbor and met the venture some mariners at uhdutS o'clock oppo site toe lower light and towed them to this city. The b'-at which has thus ac complished a voyage so hazardous and so altogether novel is named the City of Ruguaa, is twenty feel in length over all, •six feet beam, and two feet eight inches in depth, drawing two leet of water; she is yawl-rigged, and spreads seventy yards of canvas; is tilted with a two-bladed steam propeller, worked . by band, and her Inn) Is of wood, the boards being only one-half inch in thickness. In this min iature ship are ad the arrangements for c.oosing, Ac., and the capacity for carry ing provisions and water sufficient for ihe vovuge which has just been so suc cessfully terminated. THE crew consists of two men, John Charles Berke ley, the commander, ami Nicholas Pii moruz. These are the two men who, iictmreri as the former says hy a “mere whim,” were induced to make this at tempt which few could regard as any thing but foolhardiness, after seeing the craft in which they launched their des tinies anti hung their lives hy a mere threat!. The former has followed the sea from boyhood, ui d has passed an event ful life. He eaveil two lives off'the coast of Kenton the 28th pf September, 1858, lor which lie was awarded a. medal by (he British Humane Society.- He is an Frishnian and has a home in Dublin.— His companion is an Austrian. Q n Thursday, June 2. these daring spirits Icunohed their frail bark, and, uccompa nled only by a dog, left Liverpool Iti ten days they put into Queenstown, wheie they were obliged to remain four days in order to have some caulking done on their boat, which was leaking, and lefttherepn the Kith, having on board one ton of ballast and 500 weight of cqals. They look the northerly, route, the some us taken J>y the Cambria, the prevailing winds being westerly, and for chellisr. thirty five days they suflered a great deal, being kept wet through con tinually. They were also UNABLE TO COOK in the first part of the voyage, and were compelled, to eat their meat raw, which added to their discomfort, and helped to discourage them. After being eighteen days out they became short of fire wood Vtith no means of getting a supply. At this time thVy very luckily picked up a barrel containing about four gdions of tur; which was a perlentgod-sind, they using the tar upon Die decks and the bar rel for fuel. On the 4th of July they cel ebrated ‘ the day of the great republic,* drinking the health of President Grant in some prime Irish whiskey, with widch they were supplied. On the eve ning of that day there was a heavy gale through which, however, they rode safe ly. On the 28lh of August they lost one of their crew, the dog, who died from s'*ifrvy. They hud a great deal of heavy weather, but the little bark bore herself noblv, and the men iheiiiselveHexpressed surprise that she rode the heavy gales so staunchly. (She was LEAKING ALL THE WAY, and the pumps, of which they have two, wore kept at work constantly. In the severe gale on last thiturday they expe rienced I lie hardest time of the voyage, hut Buffered no disaster nave the carrying awuy of the jigger boom. The largest number of ml lea made in one day waa 153 which waa made In the lir*t part of the voyage, and the' smallest eleven miles.— The average spied waa four knots an hour. A number of vessels were spoken on the voyage, among which were the hark Rudciiffe, ou'the2Blh ol June, bound Quebec; the ship Maxwell, August 0, and the homeward houud steamur Rus sia, August 24. Fi;oin the first two of these they took In supplies of provisions and water. Two whales’ were very neighborly off Cape Clear, coming near enough Co be touched with the hand, and giving the voyagers some alarm lest they should upset their frail ship. One of the ‘Mother Cary’s Chickens’ attended them from the time they left Queenstown till they passed George’s Rank. The men say that they hud the most perfect confi dence in the success of their enterprise, and in the roughestgale could go to steep with the greatest composure. Only the lateness of the season prevents them from reluming home os they came.— Their nrlirtnal Intention wan to go direct to New York, but they concluded to put Into this port, and will go from here to the former place, and will remain this side of the Atlantic till another summer. They were towed to Long Warf by the tug, and there can be seen the smallest of all crafts that ever traversed the broad Atlantic. A Noble Sponsor, Joseph JL, Emperor of Austria, often traveled shout bis kingdom in oidlnary citizen's dress, so as not to be recognized. His desire wastndlscover wlioteverthere might be wrong In theadmlhlstratlon of the laws, and see that abuses might be corrected. One day he arrived at a small post-vil lage sooner than bo was expected. No horses were ready. The driver who was to carry him on excused himself, ‘Sir,' he said to the traveler, of course not knowing him* ‘you will beobllged to wait a short time. lam very sorry, but y< u arrive a little ahead of time. All my' servants are absent.' ‘AIM. That is v- ry singular,’ said the Emperor; ‘How does It happen ?' ‘Ah I well, you must know that I have just had a little son horn to me, and I .wish to have him baptized at once. I have sent all my servants among my friends to find a sponsor for him.' *A spnnsorf Is that all?’ rejoined the Emperor, with a smile; ‘why not take me, and then the ceremony will be.saon er over, and we can proceed.' The driver, seeing that the stranger was, to all appearance, n gentleman, promptly accepted tiie offer* and the whole party proceeded to the church. The ceremony began. Arming at the point where the god Tut her gives his name, sup-ame, title or profession the clergy man asked— ‘Your name, if you please*’ •Joseph,’ replied the .Emperor, •‘Very well; and your surname ? ? ‘My surname—ls that necessary?’. ‘Why, of course you must give that?’ 4 Well, say Second.’ ‘Second ! Singular name that; but down 1 goes. Now, Mr. Second, what is your ltlo?» ' 1 ' *1 rnn called Emperor of Austria.’ At this announcement ail of the assis tants, seized with astonishment and tear, threw themselves at the feet of the sove reign, am) asked pardon for the familiarity with which-they hud treated'him. ‘O. rise, my friends,’ replied- Joseph ; ‘there is no harm done. lam quite con tent. As for my little godson, I shall of course take him under my protection. I am not the sponsor you expected, per haps ; hut, In pressing cases, it id necessa ry to tube such as we can get;soyou must be satisfied.’ ‘Ah, sire,’ responded the father, ‘how kind you are?' ‘Well, good bye, all,’ interrupted the Emperor, 'we must proceed on our jour ney. But take good care of little Joseph.’ ‘lt is unnecessary to add that good care was taken of the little boy; and us he grew up, be wasofipn pleasantly remind ed that It was a fortunate accident which sent Joseph IX. to the village of his birth at that particular time. Questions Answered by Science, Why is rain water soft? Because it is not impregnated with earth and miner als. ’ Why is it more easy to wash with soft water than hard? Because salt water unites freely with soap, and dissolves it instead of decomposing it, as hard water does. Why do wood ashes make hard water soft? Ist. Because the carbonic acid of woou ashes combined with the sulphate of lime in tue hard wfater and converts It* into chalk. 2d. .Wood ashes converts seme of the soluble *alts of water Into in soluble, aud throws them down as-asedi ment, by which the water remaius more pure. Why has rain water such an unpleasant smtjil when it is collect- d in a ram tubor tank? Because it is impregnated with decomposed organic matters, in which it is collected. VVhy does water melt salt? Because the very minutepnrticlesof waterinsiny ale themneives into (he pores of tbe salt by capillary attraction, and force the crys tals,apart from each other. H« w does blowing hot foods make them cool? Itcausesthe air which has been heated by the food to change rapidly, and give place to frush, cool .air. Why do ladies fun themselves in hot weather? That the fresh particles of air may be brought in contact witli their face by tlie action of the.'fan; and as every fresh particle of air absorbs some heat from the skin, this constant change makes them cool. Does a fan epoi the air? No; it makes the air hotter by imparting to it ,the heat of our face, but cools our faces by trans ferring its iieal tothe air. '. A Knotty Text, There was once an itinerant preacher in Went Tennessee, who, posessing con- Bid?rnhle natural eloquence, had gradual ly become possessed of the idea that he was also an extraordinary Biblical schol ar. Under this delusion, he would very frequently at the close of his sermons, — ask my member of his congregation who inigit have a ‘knotty text 1 to unravel, to speak it, and he would explain it at once, however much it might have troubled — lessdistlnguished divines.'

A rumor Is again current in England as to the resignation of the Lord Chan cellor, and the succession of Sir Roundeil Palmer to his office. Great English law yers have not always been by any means remarkable for a lofty morality in private life, and there are many at the present day holding high positions in Westmin ster Hall who are very loose livers; but, on the other hand, it would be Impossi ble to find in the ranks of the profession anywhere men standing higher in point of purity of life, or in forensic reputation than the Lord Chancellor. Sir Rodndell Palraer.andJthe present Solicitor General. The first Lord Hatherley, much better known in his,character of Lord Justice Page Wood, is a deeply religious man, ra*her. high church fn his theological opinions. Evt-ry morning formanyyears, wet or dry. summer or winter, has seeu him a regular attendant at the early ser vice in Westminster Abbey, close to his residence. Some >ears since, soon after I he appearance of the famous Essays and Reviews, he published a theological work int'nded to r futethe views presented in that remarkable volume. Loui Bather- ley. who is childless, is the son of Sir Matthew Wood, ah eminent Lord Mayor of London, whose name was even belter known than that of his son in the days when the aflnlrs of George the Fourth’s nnhappy Queen,- Caroline—whose cause Sir Matthew warmiy espoused—were the talk of the town. , Sir Roundel! Palmer might have been •.Lord Chancellor on the accession of the present government, but he could not subscribe to the policy of the cabinet on tbe Irish church question. He is a man of marvellous application, and makes an immense income, a large part of which comes from his chamber practice, $5OO Mug the price of ‘nu opinion’ from him. The life of a great lawyer lu Parliament is about the most laborious in Englandl He has to be early at Chambers, and yet has to stay late in the House of Com mons, while a-raember can lie abed In the morning If detained in the House at night. Lord Palmerston, who used to sit out the proceedings, never rose till about eleven in the morning. More than one great English lawyer has sunk under hard work. Sir William Follett, the most brilliant English banister of tbe century, was In his gray© before he was fifty; and Lord Cairns, an Irishman, who, without any advantages of birth or position, was Chancellor before he was fifty, and subsequently the leader of the House of Lords, is now in a very delicate condition. Kir Roundel! Palmer never seems to fall. On Sundays he regularly lakes his school class »*f boys in humble circum stances; and many of our readers ore fa miliar with ids “Bonk of Praise,” almost as well known in England as “Hymns, Ancient and Modern.” H? is the sou of a county clergyman, and tbe ablest of a very able family. Kir John Duke Coleridge, the Solicitor General, is also a man of high private character. Like Sir Roundel! Palmer, lie is an Oxonian, and at the University was equally clearly marked out as a man secure of future eminence. He is theson of a distinguished father, the Right Hon. J> hh Coleridge, for many years an emi nent judge, and thus favors Mr. Gallon's theory of hereditary intellect. The poets, S. T. Coleridge aud Hartley Coleridge, were of this stock. The family has long been settled at Otlery, a fiecludod, beau tiful little town, which lies nestling be neath Ils minster church in a lovely nook of the county of Devon, and derives its t ame from the river Otter, probably so called from the number of animals of the name with wMcb it used to abound. The dtelehrafed poet was boru here, and the Coleridges cling fondly lo the place which is so closely associated with their name. Kir John is member of Parliament for Exeter, the capital of his native county He is probably now earning between fifty and sixty thousand dollars a year. How Monkeys are Caught.—The following plan to catch monkeys heats the old trick of pelting (he same atfimuis with stones to make them pick up cocoa outer Monkeys are such cunning creatures that one would suppose them much more difficult toentgh than other animals. Pit lal’s will takes lion, and the famished monarch .of the forest will after a few days starvation, dart into the cage con taining food, and thus be secured. But how are the .monkeys caught? The ape family resemble man. Their vices are human. They love liquor and fall. In Dnrfoiir fiennarrthe na’ivea mike fer mented beer of which the monkeys are passionately fond Aware of this the natives go to the partaof the forest fre quented hy the monkeys, and set on the ground calabashes full of the enticing liquor. As soon as the monkey sees upd tastes it, he utters loud cries of joy that, soon attracts hia. comrades, , Then an orgie. begins, and in a short time the beast shows all degrees ol intoxication.— Then the negroes come- The drinkers are too far gone to mistrust them but ap parently take them for a large species of their own genus. The negroes takes some up, and these immediately begin to weep and cover them with maudlin kisses. When a negro takes one by the hand to lead him off, the nearest monkey will cling to the one who. thus finds a support, and endeavors to go off also.— Another will grasp him, and so on, till the negroes lead a staggering line of ten or a dozen, tipsy monkey*. When finally brought to the village they are securely caged and gradually sober down, but for two or three days gradually diminishing supply of liquor Is given them, so as to reconcile them by degrees to their cap tivlty- . , ; . What Becomes of Pins.— Numbers of people have entirely bewildered and stupefied themselves In endeavors to ar rive at some rational conclusion on the subject of pins. The‘statistical accounts of the numbers of pins turned out annu ally at Birmingham and tiheifield alone, would lead one to expect that the earth ilsell would present the appearance of a vast pincushion. Where are-those pins of which the yearly fabrication is on so vast a scale? Pins are not consumed as an article of diet. Pins do not evaporate. Pina inu-t be somewhere. All Che pins which have been made since civilization set in, must be in existence in some shape or other; we ought to see nothing else, look in what direction we might, but pins. Header, how many pins are im ported,into your own house within the course of me year ? Do you know what becomes oi these pins ? Thefe arc a few in your wife's pincushion, mid one may occasionally be seen gleaming in the housemaid's waistband; but where are the rest? It is perfectly astounding how seldom one encounters a pin ‘on the loose.' Now aiW then, by rare chance, as when a carpet is taken up, you may catch a glimpse of a pin lying In a crev ice ; but even this is an uncommon occur-. tence.aml not to bo counted. You often want a niu and take trouble to get one, Where are all the pinsihatoughtalways to bo In attendance everywhere? No'Harm in Trying It.—The follow ing remedy, or lather preventive for the Scarlet Fever, wo get from a lady, and us it iu simple and causes little trouble, no harm can result from trying It. She ho.vh : ‘‘ While two In a house were lying dead of this fever, I was enabled, by the Divine mercy to curry our children un harmed through the epidemic, by merely putting a small piece of gum camphor In a little bag and suspending it arouud the neck of the child while In health.

A Woudopfal .Vleroscoplo Dlicoro/^ Science lay el ceaselessly working on to results' sHjOrinre surprising. The Inst advance, Wnloh has Just been made In this oily. Is a very large one. Until now the best microscope magnified an object not more than two hundred million (hues its size, and very few microsoopists ever «aw such power. The President of the Royal (Society of England last summer showed a shell magnified one hundred and forty-four million times, and this astonished mlcroscoplsts throughout the world. But the newoptiole combine'ion just completed In this oily exhibits the same objects under the enlargement of nine thousand million times its natural magnitude.

The MoMahons-like more than half tiie.old Irish Catholic families that b.-ar Irish names-are not Irish Celts, but “English Noripaus. 1 ' The family was founded in the time of Henry 11. by that Filzurse who assisted at the murder of Thomas a Beckett, and gave the Arch bishop Ids coup.degrace. He, with the other murderers, hud to fly from Eng land, and on settling in Ulster he trails- • luted his name into McMahon, which means in Irish what Filzurse means in Norman, namely, “son of the hear,’’jHf«s ursl. The head of the family cost his lot with James 11. at the Revolution of 1688, and laid to leave Ireland when that mon arch fled to France alter the Battle of the Boyne. Since then that brunch of the McMahons have lived in France. Mar shal MoDonaldfthe noblest general of the first Napoleon, was descended from ano ther Jacobite, who followed James from Scotland- Pome years ago a' numerous company of distinguished guests often met In a villa belonging to a Spanish family close to the Seine at Passy. The Duchess was a most ogre-able hostess, and her two daughters, likeadouble magnet attracted all hearts. . Dorns Napoleon came fre quently to the villa at Passy. It was soon remarked that the chief object of Ills visits was the elder daughter of the house. The Princess Eugenie herself perceived this, but at first her Spanish pride induced her to reject the Prince’s attentions- But the Prince must have po-sensed something of his uncle’s con quering talent, for omtsyening, at a bril liant assembly at the Duchess’s Eugenie appeared in an exquisite “ violet toilet in her fair, violets looping up her dress, ■ and the historical, significant bouquet of violets in her hand. The Prince understood this language of flowers- the Princess had accepted bis offer of marriage. ■|'A Deceived Family,— A very pretty Oakland, Rhode is'and girl not over 18 years' of age, brought a suit for breach of promise against a young merchant who had changed bis mind, and taken a richer bride. The trial came on, oud the girl’s mother, a fat, red faced old, dame, was present to give moral effect to the re cital of her daughter's wrongs- The counsel for the plaintiff, In summing up, declaimed at length, with moving pathos upon the enormity of the defendant’s guilt in creeping into the bosom of this family—hero the old , mdy pinned her shawl closer,—and deceiving and disap pointing tills young girl.
