THE AD.VIHAL'S GIO.
ILLL'STRATINO A 8INIII LARI.Y MIXED VP
STATE OF AFFAIRS AT A NAVT YARD.
A vivacious corroHtKinilciit of the
Cincinnati Gazette tell a story con
nected with an attt)initcd reception of
Secretary Uohowin at the 1'orUmoutn
(X. II.) Jiavy Yard a year ago, which
he sttys was current at Rye Beach the
pant summer.
The secretary, who has apartments
each scawin iu one of the cottages at
live, hud sent word to the admiral
commanding tho yard thnt he would
visit I'ortHiuouth on a certain day and
insiwct the station. Grent prepara
tions wore made to receive hiui. When
the tirno for his arrival drew near, tho
admiral with all his officers in full uni
form, four companies of marines, and
tho band, stood on the wharf reudy to
greet the head of all our marine forces,
while the crew ot a national inirate
ntood to their guns all ready to utter a
little thunder in tli Secretary s Denan.
Thoro wore two ways lor the secre
tary to reach the yard from l'ort-
moutn. lie couw cross 1110 river Dy
hoat or drivo around by the bridgo.
Tbe boat-landing at the yard and the
entrance from the carriage-way are
udod onnoaite sides or the groundn,ana
quite concealed one from the other.
The admiral, winning to snow an
Dossible attention to the secretary ,cnt
over to the Portsmouth side, first bis
gig gayly decorated and manned with
eight expert oarnmen, a stam-launeh,
in case no snouiu prcicr to croita in
thsttr and, lastly, his carriage and horses
to convey tho party around by tbe
bridgo, should tbey desire to go that
way. A messenger was in waning to
ascertain which of these modes of con
veyance the secretary eolocted, and to
cross in advance and give the admiral
notice, so that if the secretary cnose
the rarriago, tho officers and marines
might be marched over to the goto to
receive bim. Of the secretary's party
was Master , who was always
prominent on occasions of this kind.
When tho party arrived at the Ports
mouth wharf an officer explained to
tho secretary that scvoral modes of
conveyance awaileu ins cnoiee. lie
could be rowed across in tne aamirara
gig, or take tbe steam-launch, or drive
around with the carriage. M aster
listened intently while tbe secretary
was consulting the memtwrs 01 tlio
party and making op bis mind.
At lenmn air. jtoncnon iiiiunnuu me
officer in waiting that be would go
over in the gig. Master .bearing
this, concluded that ho would jump on
the ferry-boat which was just pushing
off. and bo the first to inform the ad
miral ol the secretary s intention.
Tho lcrrv-boat nausea the officers
boat on the same errand, and arrived
at the dock far in advanco ot bun.
Unfortunately. Manter , is not a
trreat sailor, and as a landsman he had
been educatod to suppose that a gig
was something that went on wheels
and was drawn by horse-power. Bo
the moment the boat roacneu tne wnan
ho iumned ashoro, ran up to tho ad
miral, and said, "Tho secretary will
drive around." Then there was hur-
rvinir In hot haste, lho mannes
started at double-quick for tbe gate on
the other sido. auile around and behind
the great ship buildings, and wholly
hidden from the river. 1 ho admiral
and all his officers followed aa lost as
noHsible. and in throe nilnutos the
iorcos of all kinds and the crowd of
visitors had passed behind all the build
ings, and tho river front of the yard
was left without a sign of lifb, except
an officer who happened to be off duty
and onnortunelv came along few
minutes after tho admiral and his
forcos had disappeared. , ' J
Meantime the secretary 'sparty,mmus
Master, had disposed themselves
in tbe admiral's gig and were being
rowed rapidly to tho deserted wharf
The stillness of things seemed unac
countable to Mr. Itobeson and the visi
tors bo bad brought np from Rye to
see how a HocreUtry of the Navy was
received at a yam where there was a
full force to do him honor. There was
no thunder of cannon, raltlo of drums,
... ..Tl.....!. ln,h.uim(.n,
noticing the absence of the expected
concourse of sound, CAst his eye along
the wharf and around the visible por
tions of tho yard, and was thunder
struck at the general stillness and des
olation, His wonder grew as the gig
nulled un at the wharf, and no human
being appeared to greet him, or even
hand him a messago. The situation
was fast becoming ombarassing. How-
cvor, the party all crawled out of the
gig aa treat they could, and gathered
in a knot on the wharf. Here thev at
tracted the attention of the strolling
officer, and as he came near and re
cognised the secretary, the whole sita
ation flashed upon him. He was In
fatigue uniform and not in any sense
ready to "receive tho head of tbe
navy, but, walking op and saluting the
secretary, he offered to escort him to
tho admiral a quarters. At tbe same
time he managed to Inform the officer
in command ot the frigate In the next
slip that the secretary bad landed,
and by the time the party started on
iU walk, the big guna began to thnn-
dor, and on one aide of the yard the
embarrsaament of the situation was
considerably rcliovod.
But what shall be said of the per
plexity which prevailed at tbe gate on
the other sine r J nemmagein wnun
D
CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1874.
it was supposed tho secretary was driv
ing around had not appeared when the
first gun fired on tho river front, l'oal
after peal followed and still no car
riage. At length, just as the admiral
had given bitnselt over to absolute des
pair, up came tne carnage, tinviug
furiously, and enveloped in a clond of
dust. It seemed that one heavy gen
tlemen of the secretary's party chose
to drive around, and. hearing the first
gun of the salute, the driver bad at
tempted to reach the ground so that
the guest might not miss any part of
the reception. It was natural that all
should suppose the secretary to bo In
that carriage, and the appearnnco of
tho stout gentleman confirmed the be
lief, so tho admiral am! all bis officers
gave tho enstomary salutation in splen
did style. : The four companies or ma
rines presented arms, and the band
went into eostneles. At mis juimnre
the strange gentlemen got out, and
tho admiral was advancing toward
bim, when messenger came up and
informed bim tbat the secretary hail
landed at the wharf, and was there
alone. The strango gentleman was
left to his falo, and under the swill
ordors of the admiral the whole force
startod on doublo-quick lor the wharf,
the officer in advance, and the battalion
of marines, with its band, preceding,
followed close alter. The marines Do
ing moro accustomed to double-quick
step than the admiral and his officers,
gained on tho lattor, and as the hurry
ing column pressed on it was well
closed up. Then camo the crowning
catastrophe. Turning a sharp corner
in the road, where it passed between
two high buildings, and whore the
echo was altogether confusing, tho ad
miral and bis companions bore directly
down upon the still more astonished
secretary, and the next instant tbe
drum major, with his big nir cap ana
baton, tirojected bimsell into the olTJciai
in-some, followed by drums and brass
lorns in dire confusion, and an instant
Inter, the column of marines telescoped
tho whole party, after tho manner of a
railroad collision.
The situation was at least gravo.
The admiral had graspod the secreta
ry's hand at the first meeting, and was
trying to explain, wnon the player on
the biggest born arrived, and before he
could halt, bod run the instrument
over the secretary's shouldor, till, seen
from bis own party, lho illusion of his
having joined tbe band was complete.
And to make mntters worse, Hie thun
der of tho last guns of the suluto was
rattling between tho buildings, render
ing explanations on either side almost
impossible. But alter some two min
utes, which to tho admiral seemed as
many hours, the salute ended, tbe ma
rines regained their ranks, the band
got itself together and withdraw to
one side, and the admiral soon ex
plained bow be had been misled by tbe
messago Irom -Muster that the
secretary will drive around.
As the reception bad been thus some
what marred when judged by naval
standards, the battalion of marines whs
marched to the parade ground, where
they were reviewed by tho secretary.
Here everything passed off with the
strictest regard to tactices, except tbat
tho secretary, instead of standing op
posite the colors when the line formed
for review, was furnished with a rock
ing-chair, which, on account oi lus pre
vious fatigue, be occupied while the
column passed twice in reveiw. After
this the secretary and the other mem
bers of bis party, all looking as if they
had seen sights enough for ono day,
were escorted to the admiral's quarters
and provided with a lunch, which re
stored the fortunes of the day. Before
it was over. Master bad learned
the difference between gigs on wbcols
and gigs afloat. .
THE FIRST THOUSAND. '
Tbe first thousand dollars that a
young man, after going out Into the
world lor iiunseii, cams anu oaves, win
generally settle the question of businos
fife with bim. There may be excep
tion! to this statoment ; yet, for a rule,
we think it will hold true.
The first condition is tbat the young
man naturally earns the thousand dol
lars in question, lie does not Inherit
this sum. It does not come to him by
a streak of good luck, aa tbe result of
a fortunate venture in the purchase
and sale of a hundred shares of stock.
It is the fruit of personal industry. He
gives his time and labor for it. While
ho is thus coming and saving it, he
must earn two or three, or perhaps
four times as much to pay his current
expenses, lie is consequently held
stornly to the task of industry for a
considerable period. - Tlio-uirect con.
sequence to him is steady, continuous
and solid discipline in the habits of in
dustryin patient, persistont, forecast

THE SUBSTITVTi FOR STEAM.
VALUABLE DIBO0VS4lT IF IT CAN BE
- PRACTICALLY APPLIED. -
The interesting AioUotCnooineiit of a
substitute lor stt-aia as a motive power
bus boon recently usds in (iermany,
from n source entitled lo a hearing.
The rapid consumptins.of the earth's
fuel supply and drain ou its forests, at
tended by so many aiiastrous conse
quences, have stimulated scientific in
ventors to find a successor of steam.
and it is to be hoped th present dis
covery will prove a suoeoss. i he new
motive is carboleum, and its applica
tion to machinery Is claimed tor Dr.
Hems, or (ironingon, woo has devoted
many years to its study and utilisa
tion. Experiment first taught him
that w hen the bicarbonate of sodium
heated In a .f w M' upjsas at teav
peruture of cight hundred degrees
Fahrenheit, liquid carbonic acid is dis
tilled out of it, having the expansive
force ot fifty or sixty atmospheres.
Carboleum Is not dangerous as an ex
plosive, and thefact that.thusomploycd
as the Ciormnn Inventor proposes, it is
possessed of enormous motive powor,
was attested by scientific men to whom
tho experiments wero shown. The
heat required to bring out this motive
power of the carbonic acid in tho new
carboleum cngino is apparently very
small when conipored with that re
quisite for producing a high pressure
of steam in the ordinary engine. In
tho former It is only three pounds ol
coal per hour lor eiieh horse power
represented by thoongino an amount
so small that it would be unnecessary
in ships driven by tho new process to
devote much space for fuel. The chief
value of the invention, however, Is
claimed to bo Its practicability in large
factories. Tho author thinks that lor
tho great Industries the carboleum cn
gino can, in nearly overy instnco,take
tho place of steam.
The scientific value of this discovery
is inimcnso, if mechanical Ingenuity
can succcssiuiiv apply it in tno direc
tion indicated by Dr. Beins. If it Is
said that the supply of carboleum is
not as plentiful as that element irom
which steam is made it may be an
swered it ia almost as largo as that of
coal in some parts or tho world, t ar
boleum Is found inexhaustibly In the
beds of common chalk in all parts of
the earth. As common chalk contains
carbonic acid to the amount of half its
weight it will yield double its value of
earliolcum. Aim tiro cnaiu resources
of tho earth aro vast beyond computa
tion. Tho cretaceous rocks covor a
large extent of subterranean Europe
anil Eastern Asia and abound in North
nnd South America. Tho chalk beds
which cross undot tho English channel
at Dover have been gauged at five
hundred feet In thickness, and isimilar
bods have been found in rranco, Ger
many and Denmark, while the sound
ings of tho ocean bottom show that
thoy probably exist in a growing state
in many geological districts. In the
United ntutcs few formations are moro
widely distributed than the chalk.vary-
lnr iir thicknenr (rwouitiiiig to srrie
authorities irom lour hundred loot
nloiig the Atlantic seaboard to two
thousand flvo hundred feel Intho Upper
Missouri valley.
It is evident, therefore, that the pro
posed successor of steam, if mechani
cally applied, would ho used over tho
larger pun ot tne woria as an invalua
ble anxilliary of steam, with an enorm
ous economy of coal nnd work. Tho
successful introduction of such a mo
tive power, minimizing the fuel con
sumption, would bo a boon of incalcu
lable Importance in tho manuiacturoe
and arts. That tho principle npon
which Its Introduction is claimed to be
feasible, is scientifically correct socms
hardly to be doubted. If the immeas
urable chain beds arc stored wun mo-
chanical energy, as wo know tho coal
beds are, the anxioty of physicists and
oconomists, lest tlio world s luel supply
may lull short in Hie lapse oi a n-w cen
turies, is dissipated. The utilisation
of tho new fuel would give an impetus
to all industries, and might revolution-
ire tho commerco of manufacturing'
nations whoso wealth and political
power are mainly duo to their coal
supplies.

In July, 1872, he and Mr. Coxwell as
cended in a balloon to the enormous
height of 38,000 foot. Previous to the
start, Mr. Glaisher's polso stood at 76
beats a minute, t ox weirs at 74. At
17,000 foot the pulse of the formor was
at M, that of tlio lattor at 100. At
18,000 feet Glsiaher s hands and lips
wore quite blue, but not his face. At
21,000 feet he heard his heart beating,
and his breathing became oppressed ;
at 20,000 feet he became senseless;
notwithstanding which the a-ronsut,
in the interest of science, went np an
other 9,000 feet, till ho could no longer
use his hands, and had to pull the
strings of tho valvo with bis teeth.

punished for leaving the ranks. On

a bow, '-Thank you, thank you." As
the colonel thundered out. "Take
that chicken back, sir." Dick said,

llOLLEN BACK'S BULL DO0.
jmdden's brilliant illcbtration or
THE POWER OF MUSIC.
Mr. nollenback, of Sixth Street,
owns a bull dog about tho site of a
yearling calf, and the whole neighbor
hood bos to walk on its tiptoe and
nut on a respectful look when that
dog is turned loose. The other night
Mr. Uollcnback was telling a crowd in
a corner grocery what a prize medal
of a dog lie had, and how ho could
prance over everything in Dotroit, and
a young man named Madden, who
owns a hddle and fiddles it most of the
time, said he'd bet money that he
could make tho Uollcnback dog quake
and tremblo under tbe power of music.
Ho said he never saw a dog which
couldn't be fiddled out of countenance
In flvo minutes hy th clock, and he
had tried lots of them. Mr. Hollon
back grinned with delight, and it was
arranged that the young man should
try it right away. Madden got his
fiddlo and th crowd went over to 11 ol
len I ack's.
The dog was called into the kitchen,
and then the crowd slipiod out, one by
ono, leaving Madden alone. "Cross
eyed Terror" such is the animal's
name didn't know what to think of
the proceedings, and he set up snd
gave Madden a look in which border
ruffianism, inquiry, deceit, and aston
ishment were about equally mingled.
The fiddle was poised and tbe young
man commenced fiddling a sad tune,
something like "Mother is dead." Tbe
dog arose at the first note and bent an
earnest look on the fiddle. He bad
probably never seen a fiddlo, and was
iu doubt as to whether it was a new
kind of a dog or an infernal machine.
As the tune began to draw out longer
and longer Cross-eyed Terror took a
step forward and gave utterance to a
growl which made things tremble.
Madden looked fixedly at the animal
and sawed away until it became evi
dent that he hadn't better keep that
tune much longer, and he changed off
on to something lively. Tho dogs
bristles rose up and his eyes assumed
a hungry look. The young man
changed to a chant, and the dog came
a little nearer, and his under lip fell
down like the end board of a coal cart.
A man who was looking through
the kcy-holo of the door remarked that
ho wouldn't be in there for 140,000,000,
and tho excited whispers of the crowd
seemed to excite the dog. - He uttered
several moro growls, and in bis own
language inquired: "What do you
take me for, anyway f" Madden had
faith, and struck up "The Green Shores
of Ireland." He hadn't even cited the
"green shores" before Cross-eyed Ter
ror laid bold of him by the hip and
gave him a scientific toss. Next mo
ment fiddlo and dog -and howl and
growl were all mixed up together.
Madden shouted for th crowd to rush
in, and the dog growled ont that that
was a private cotillion, with no admis
sion for outsiders.
Tho young man lived about a year
and a half in leas than a nvnute. He
want over th towe wit, a whoop,
around tho table with a yell, and felt
his coat tails go off aa he stopped for
an instant to raise tbe window sash.
Tho crowd rushed in as soon as they
understood what was going on. They
found Madden lying on his face, and
the dog was trying to get a hold some
where so he could lift him up and ad
minister the "terrier shake." They
pounded the dog with a chair, kicked
his ribs and yelled lor him to let go,
and finally they had to throw a pail
of water over him. Mr. Madden could
hardly get up, and one up could hard
ly sit down. He had bites ail over
him and a few thrown in "to boot,"
and the largest piec of his valuable
fiddle was just th six of an Arizona
tooth-pick.

A FASmONiBLH FOLLY. ".
Mrs. Grundy ha decreed tbat Mrs.
Jonas and Mrs. Smith, who have noth
ing whatever in common beyond th
tact of belonging to th same social .
sot, and who naturally oitbor dislike
each other exceedingly, or are entirely
indifferent to each other, shall exchang
formal calls ad infinitum. Accordingly, (
Mrs. Jones, with loudk-xrmjed re
gret at tbe necessity of roing, and hop
that Mrs. Smith will be out, arrays
herself elaborately and pulls the Smith
door-bell. If Mrs. Smith is not at '
homo, actually or figuratively. Mrs.
Jones breathes a sigh of relief and
hurries away. If she in, Mrs. Jones is
ushered into a logurmous parlor, where
she wastes half an bour in idle gossip
about tho weather, and tbe last engage-,
meut, and tho next party, and th
wondrous achievements of various com
monplace children. Each woman
listens and talks languidly. Each is '
ishing the bore were over. When the
necessary minutes have been consumed,
Mrs. Jones departs. When the neces
sary weeks tare passed, Mrs. Smith
Dlavs her Dart in this most tedious
society drama, and the curtain falls, to
riso again, a month or two later, on
Mrs. Jones. Both these women would
stop this farcical exchange of visits if
they dared, lint they ao not aare. it
is the fashion and they follow it As a
result tbev are obliged to waste hours
on hours, week after week, In a round
of bowing, and gossiping, and smiling,
from which they get no possible good.
They either have to give np one whole .
day every week to receiving calls, or
they must bold themselves in readiness
at almost every hour of every day, to
do so. It does not seem to occur to
these people that whore such a system
prevails nothing else systematic can.
There can be no fixed hours for any- .
thing. Friends cannot exchange calls
at will because acquaintance left in
tbe lurch would be hurt sometimes a
woman grows sufficiently independent
to announce that she will not make
calls. Then the rest of her sex, every
one of whom would be glad to imitate
her, affect a proper horror, and con
demn as impolite, shocking, etc., her
brave disregard of one of the most
senseless observances of society. Five
years afterwards, the woman who dared
usually knows something, while her
old associates are still displaying their
old stock of information. Would it
not bo well for women reformers to
remember that calling and dressing aro
two groat grounds for reform t They
are alike in this, that women can, if
they will, effect the reform in both by
their single efforts. Masculine co-op-oration
is not needed. If a few prom
inent ladies would but say : "W e will
call on the persons whom wo really
wish to see," and would make their
saying true, wo would soon witness a
decided change for the better. Would
it not be well, by the way, for women
to remove a few of the disabilities they
have imposed npon themselves before
invoking masculine help to rid them of
others T Chicago Tribune.
CURIO US AM USEMESTS.
Wo aro enioving the excitement at
tendant upon an English fair, writes a
correspondent Looking around us we
notice interest and excitements which,
if known in America, are unfamiliar to
us. Here is a group of lads, reminding
us of the flies that gather to a drop of
treacle. We find in its centre a table
of common deal, into which are stuck
by the blade some fifty or sixty pocket
knives. Th table and th knives are
owned by a very rummy looking man, .
of fifty-five or sixty years, who is ex
horting the boys to try their luck. 11
knows they are clever lads. He knows
it by their looks. Here are four bras
rings. If any boy will throw on of
these rings at five feet from the table
so that it falls upon a knife, he shall .
have the kmle, or lourpenco, as he
pleases. Smart boys, such a they are,
can do it with ease. The rings are
full two inches in diameter, and sure -
to go over the knives it well thrown.
Ho shall be obliged to attach on con
dition, only ono to the throwing of tho .
rings. If it should happen that no ono
of the four rings should go over a
knife, tho thrower will kindly please
to pay bim, the owner, one penny. Wa
looked on. The first ring we saw
thrown wont over a knife. We saw
twelve other lads try their luok, and
not another ring did wo sec go over
a knife. This game was tho center of
a constant circle of losing lads, and
sometimes losing men, all the afternoon.
Not far off is Aunt Sally. She is a
stick stuck into tho ground, with skirts
over crinoline, decorated in imitation
of a squaw's. In her mouth is an or
dinary tobacco pip. . To ovary man
paying his penny is given four round
sticks, an inch in diameter and a foot
in length. If, standing at a distance
of twenty feet, he can hit and smash
th pipe in Aunt Sally' mouth, he .
shall be rewarded with fourpence. If '
not, bo loses his penny. Aunt Sally is
a "good card," but besid her are other
catch-pennies, such a opportunities to
try your strength, your weight, th
power of your lungs, and the distance
you can jump. By-and-by comes a "
contest in step dancing. Then comes
a donkey raoe, alway a comical affair,
and popular in England. It comes off
amid a storm of shouts and laughter,
and the most unlikely donkey comes
in ahead simply because the most like
ly one stops, doggedly or donkeyly,
just his own length short of the goal.
A hurdle rac loliows, and it u im
possible to decide which of the two is
the winner, and finally a traveling
trickster gives various tints which
make tho natives open their (eye
and their mouths in wonder.
Thomas Paine'iGravb. Mr.Simeon
Lester, on whose farm Paine's body
was buried, writes of the recent reports
concerning the gravo and monument :
"Thomas rain was Dnned in a plot
some 40 feet from whor his monument
now stands. His body wss removed
from this town over sixty years ago
and was taken to England. Tbo plot
where he was originally buried had be
come a mass of loos stones, weeds,
brier, ate., and was in a very bad con
dition. . All that was don was to clear
Up tho rubbish, remove the unsightly
brambles and set out four locust posts,
nicely painted, to mark th spot where
the body of Tomas Pain one laid.
The monument has not bean disturbed
in th least, but oa th contrary mem
ber of my family have, on a number
of occasions, washed the monument .
where it had been soiled by some mali
cious person. Whatever 1 have don
it has been to improve th surroundings
of the monument of Thomas Pain, and
nothing oUto." I ,
