Btoumcd out of tho harbor of Yoko
hama amid tho thecrint; ol tho difl'cr
cnt men of war, it being a custom
when ntiiuii -of-wuria lioineward bound
to give a purlniL' cheer as a mark of
friendship; thohi'oad pennant wits dig
played while the French, (iormao
and Russian flttr;ship bands gavo the
air of '-Homo Sweet Home," clotting
with a parting cheer from tho Eiiirhsh
flagship "Iron Duke" (hat was lust on
(ering tho harbor from Kobe, Juptin.
In a few hours wo bid adieu to tho
shuro of Jupan, steering eastward,
slowly, the wind being against tin.
Three or four storms we oncountcrcd
up till tho 20(b iust., when in latitude
.'Jll0l north and longitude 178 east we
were struck by a terrible hurricane
In tho forenoon ol the 28ih the barome
ter began to full rapidly and at mid
night tho mercurial had reached 2(1 CI
and tho aneroid 29.18, (he lowost I
had ever seen. Shortly after, the hurl-
cano broke witli a terrible fury, and
the loreuoon of the 2Dth tho sea
bad risen to a terrible height. About
noon a mountain sea struck us nft on
(ho starboard when "crash," in a mo
ment all was confusion. When (ho
hip recovered, all hands wore swim
ming in abouuhreefeet of water, each
holding on to ladder"., grating, Ac., tn
keep Irom going down if tho ship
went.
Tho following from tho log book
gives an account of (ho dumago done,
it being (he otlicial report to bo lor
wavded to Washington :
'12 M.. to 4 1 M. wind blowing a
heavy galo from west north. About
12:20 noon, we shipped a heavy sea
which swept tho decks, striking the
trolly of tho storm mir.sen, carrying
away tho miz.on mast, pennant and
bringing the sail down on deck, also
causing the mast to settle down about
4 inches and snapping mizzen topmast
oft', carried away the after half of gig
and throwing the olhor half on tbe
poop duck ; toro the whale boat out
clear of dayila and overboard ; stove
in post quarter ol 1st cutter and part
of 2d cuter, curricfl away after full of
I nnghr antl torrcd in ports on star
board sido as fur forward as tho gang.
war, rilling the deck with water, and
knocked out the port ports. Took in
mainsail and brought up the atiip more
to the sea, Ac. ory heavy sea run
ning. John Wean, landsman, on duty
at life buoy, was washed overboard,
but was washed back again and man
aged to catch in the nigger chains,
thus saving himself."
Towards evening the wind and sea
commenced going down and by mid
night wo wcro ablo to commence to
clear away the wreck and get tbe ship
in sailing order.
It another sen had followed tho first,
tho ship in all probability would have
swamped and gone down storn loro
meat the ward rnnm nnrl enhin akr-
lighls being mashod in, and wo should
have all gone down with her and not
ono would have lived lo tell the tale,
for even if they had managed to get
clear of tho wreck they would have
starved to death, being two thousand
miles from any land and out of the
track ol vessels crossing tho fuciho,
e had but one available bout, a
heavy working Launch, (that would
havo tukon us an hour to get out, and
then, moat likely it would have boon
awamped, being so heavy,) the gig and
whale boat being washed overboard
and the others manhod In. There
wore a good many whito luces that
day and F think tho moat of us thought
mow) ol our prayors limn wnat we
were going to hnvo for suppor ; our
officers deserve a good deal ol crcdi(
for their cool new in the midst of it.
It is the first gonuino hurricane that
I havo oxporienoed at sea, and that is
sufficient for mo, for its impressions
will last my ine time.
The Captain hardly know what ho
should do, whether to proceed to San
rrancisco or make for the nearest
land, being Honolulu, but finally come
to tho conclusion to go to tho luttor
place, so be changed the ships course
and arrived here on tho l!Hh, where
we will most likely lay a short timo
to make tho uccoasury repairs and
coal abip. On the 14th, 15th and llilh
of December, we lay becalmed about
five htindrod miles from Honolulu, and
wo had nothing to do except fish for
shark. On tho llilh, wo caught
three Tory largeones, measuring about
twolvo leot, and ataaertcd tnem. in
first two contained nothing, but tho
third one had several Dsn hooka, (I
supposo he had been fished for before,)
bottles, chunks of meat, and every
thing imaginable, besides thirty thrco
young ones, averaging from one to
one and-a half feet In length. ' The
young ones were oaten after boing
cleaned, and several largo steaks being
cat off the old one and fried 1 was
tempted to try what shark meat was
liko. It tasted Tory near like any
other largo Us.li, sued as balibut, stur
geon, Ac, but tbe idea of eating shark
ia the thing that makes it go had.
Tbey are noted man-ea(ora, but 1 think
they are not much worse than eel or
a catfish, or cvon a mackorol, for tbe
latter do tho same only not on aa large
a scale. It is no use giving desenp
lion of a shark, lor vou have aeon hun
dreds of pictures oi them, and no

has been said ot them in regard to
ferocity.
On tho evonlng ot tho Kith, thoro
being no prospect of a broeiso, tho
Captain proposed to steam the rest ot
the way, so no had fires started and as
1 havo before said wo arrivod on mo
19th of Decombor.

THE LA II' OF T RES PA S'.S
What constitutes trespass is a ques
tion that arises continually, especially
among fhrmors and owners of smaller
tracla of real oalate, and ideas con
cerning it are about as vaguo as they
wolf can bo. An interesting article on
the laws governing this question ap
pears in the lust quarterly report of
tho Hlato Board of Agnculturo, wnicn
dosorves to bo read by every farmer
in the land, as they arc olloner called
on to moo the troubles arising out ot
such cnacs than nny other class ol men
in tho community. Trospaaa is dofincd
as "any transgression or offence against
tho law ot nature, or of tho country In
which wo live, whothcr it rclatea tc a
man's person or property." ThiB is
its widest meaning. Ordinarily, how
ever, it has refcrenco only to an en
trance on the property ot another
without authority, apd in doing dam
age while there, whether mucn or
little. ' The laws give the owner ex
clusive control ovor his property. Any
nfrmtrcment ot bis rights without his
permission, or Justified legal authority
thorofor, cons(itutos atrcapasa. It dooa
not need that the land should be en
closed by fence. Tho law supposes an
mammary enclosure, which answers
every purpose, and the simple act of
passing In constitutes trospaaa, al
though no harm should resnK (o crops, !
caule or aught else. Even a person
leeally authorised Id seise certain
goods on a man's premises daro not
break open doors tor that purpose ; u
he doos his authority avails him noth
ing, and ho becomes a common tres
passer. Neither is a person justified
n so arranging spouts as to inacnargo
wat'r on another man's land, even
though he never stop off his own
gronnds, nor permit tilth to pass a
boundary line without duo permission.
When a spout ttrst discharges on a
man's own premisos and the comtents
tb.rt find thai, way in A neifrhhor's
prelliinaa, it dnca not constitute) tres
pass. Hunting and tishing, however,
constitute the most common and an
noying sources of troapasscs to which
our farmers are subjected. No matter
that neither grass nor grain are tram
pled down, whothor gates are left clos
ed, bars left up, and no rails broken,
the pursuit of game on tho lands of sn
ot her without pormissiou la trespaaa.
To oven enter an unclosed piece of
wood, whore there are no orops to bo
injured in pnranit of game, which may
have taken refuge there, is a violation
ot law qnite as much as if a wheat
Held in ear had boon trampled down.
In fishing as in hunting, the ordinary
ponds and streams are the exclusive'
property of those through whose lands
they flow or In which they happen to
be situated. In tho case of navigable
streams, any one may boat np and
down thorn and Bah in tnem, but has
no right to land on the shore and do
so. Lancaster Xew lira.
mil PRINCELY XOSES NOT
TATTOOED.
Tho stories lately current about
their Royal Highnesses, the sons of
tho 1'rinco or ales, now on a cruise
in tbe Bacchante, are nnlruo. It Is
not tho fact, as has boon foolishly as
scrted, that tho young Princes have
boon tattooed on tho nose with an
anchor. The talo, wbon brought homo,
was received with wcll-dcservcd in-
crodulity, and it wus tclt that their
own common senso, not loss than the
care of thoso about thorn, would be the
best cuaranteo against any such ab
surdity as thut which has obtained an
unmoritcd currency. Ihe truth is
that, aB when, for inatanco, on crossing
the lino cortnin traditional ceremonies
are observed, so on first touching at a
groat port of other harmless froaka
aro often indulged in, and the fdcnti-
caivoxpurience ol tho rnncea haa boon
undergone by 11. R. II. tho Duke of
Edinburgh, Count (ileichen, and near-
ly ovcry other sailor, whether royal
or not.
Accordingly, at (iihraltar, the mid-
ahipmon of tho Baccbanto indulged in
the amUHunient or uincina, on tbeir
luccs tho representation ot tulloo marks,
and their temporary ironic lias boon
roported as if they bad neon really
tattooed. Tho Bacchante proceeded
across tho Atlantic lo tbe West Indios,

fight would take placo boyond the
State line. Events demonstrated tho
error of this opinion, as Ihe duel was
lought during tho atternoon within
the limits of tho city. At hull-past 2
o'clock the principals, with their
friends, entered carriages and sot out
for tbe rendezvous, which was on tho
Mutuirio Road about midwuy botween

cool and collected, manilesting no sign

drcssod with caro, wore a glovo on his

a daik suit of clothes, and carried a

known as "Stokesy," a waiter of tho
Crawford House, had a warrant issued
lor tho arrest ot I'.dwar.l Davis, (col

came on ooioro Alderman otcati.
Stokesy, in making his statement said :
"1 went to him wid an ordah Irom

Effect or the Atmosphere on the
Lf.niitii of Days. Tho atmosphere
makes our days longer in two ways:
First, by retraction ot tho rays reach
ing as Irom the sun when touching tho
horizon, this has been incidentally ex
plained in the question (No. 20) on the
apparent sizo of the moon. In high
latitudes, whero tbo solar path is seen
at great inclination, tho sun remains
by this causo visiblo for nino, ten or
more minutes after having actually
gone down below the horizon ; this
samo cause makes the twilight longor,
whilo botweon tho tropics, where the
sun seta nearly perpendicularly, tho
twilight ia surprisingly short. Tho
second cause is the illumination of Ihe
highor regions of our atmosphere,
which is kept up alter the sun bos gone
down for us below ; this illumination
is sometimes vory strong ao much in-
d.d in no.tb.orn lAlitmlue, tltat HtiiWnp
Summer nights it does not become
dark at all ; so in St. Petersburg, Rus
sia, on the longest day in July, one
can read in tho streets at midnight,
while at Torrea, Sweden, at tho ex
treme tiorthren point of the Baltic,
which is just under the polar circle,
(ho sun does not sot at all at that lime.
Planets without atmosphere have no
such twilight. On tho moon, whero
there ia no porceptiblo Atmosphere and
Ihoreforo no twilight at all, tho
succession of night and day must be
vory sudden. This brings as to the
closing question, what Iho lengthening
of the day by our atmosphere amounts
tof His all the twilight which we
ace before the sun is risen, and after he
bus gone down, in addition to (he (ime
of apparent rising and sotting, which
the refraction longlhens for two to ten
minutes, (bo least near tho tropics, (ho

question: "Why does every one call

P-t- 1
The above figuro represents tho dis
tance and course the hall and train
n-nnlil rnnci in Ihritn MACfiml. nf tima
according to my idea of tho question. '
Wo suppose the train to bo at
the point A when tho ball is discharged.
We find, according to tho luws of nut
ural philosophy, that tho ball would
mno,. In tl fn.. ' " "h '"
me mice seconds of timo, which would
bring it to the point B. We also find
(hat the train, moving ut the rato of CO
miles an hour, will pass from A to 1),
or 204 feet, which would be at tbe
0f tbe cannon, as many afllrm,
nmnl 11 CW Mlfl l)H in 111 HIV lA
and which would be in accordance
with tbo rules of philosophy, would
have to puss along the line B C hori
zontally 204 feet, till it came to tbo
point O, which would be perpendicular
uhovo tbe cannon. Or, if it moved in
an obliquo direction from tho point A,
Whero it was discharged, it would form
tbo dinarnnai of ai raotancrle, and than,
having tbe sido A B, 144 leet, and tho
sido A D, 2G4 feet, to find the diagonal
or hypotenuse B 1), or A C, 300 feet.
But we find that the bull only trav
els 144 feet in the three seconds of
timo, so it must stop 156 feet short ot
tho point C, on the line A C, which
would cause the ball to reach the
ground somewhere between A and V
(9av ,t R). because the ball, after it
has traveled its time and distance, must
fall pcrpendicular(leaving ont tho rota
tion of K) to tbe Kurtb. If not, we
must throw away the laws of gravita
tion ; and this being the case, it is evi
dent lhat tbo ball must full behind
tho train, and not into the muzzle of
tho gnn, as is tho opinion of many.
Again suppose, as it is affirmed, that
tho ball does move by tbe motion ot
tho train in tho direction of tbe point
C. It must move eithor in the direc
tion B C, or A C, to reach the point C
in throe seconds ol timo ; lor in this
time iho train will have leached tbo
point D, and tho ball would fall into
the muzzle of tbe cannon, if the train
would stand still. But this is not tbe
case. Tho train keeps moving tor
ward while tho ball is falling perpen
dicularly to the Earth ; and we find
for tho ball to full to the Earth, 144
feet, tho distance it is above the can
non when at C, it would tnko three
seconds of timo ; and again we find,
that whilo tbe ball is falling this dis
tance and time, the train will move on
from I) toward F, 264 reot, in Iho
samo time thrco seconds and tbe
ball would reach tho ground at D, or
204 feet behind Ibe train, plus the dis
tance the (rain was ahead of (be ball
botween A and 1). '

havo it ; and if thoro is any other of onr

would like to hear from them. I take

To sweep anil dust a room properly
is an art and like nil line aria has a '
right method. Wall ilonu atiwmovataa

a work into which taste and judgment,
or in elber words, brains most enter.
Are these closcu opening Into a room
to be swept? Arrange tbe sholvos,
drawers or clothing preparatory to
sweeping day ; then (et this bo the
first to be swept. Cover the bed with

brushed tbum, liemore all the furni
ture that can easily be set in a ball or
an adjoining room, having first dusted
it; then, taking a, step-ladder, begin
to swoop or brush or wipo tbe cornice
and picture cords and pictures. Draw
(he shades to the top of the window
or, if thcro are inside blinds, dust tbom
carefully. Open the windows. All
tho dust left in the room now is in
the carpet or air and tbe current of
tho windows will soon settle it.
Now begin to sweop, not towards a
door or corner, bnt Irom tho outer
edges of the room toward the centre,
where tho dust will be taken np with
a small brush and dust pan. Go over
the room onco more this time with a
dampened broom ; that removes the
last bit ot dust and givea the carpet a
new, bright appearance. Replace the
articles of furniture as soon as tho air
ia entirely frco from dust, uncover
(ho rest, and the room is new and
clean. All this seems an easy thing
to do, but thero ia not one in hun
dred who will follow out tho details.
Somo will sweep tho dust into the ball
or from one room lo another, and then
wonder why their house is so soon
dusty again. Others forgot cornice

How easy it is for the residents iu
largo cities, especially tor thoso whose
position and wealth enable thsm to
avail themselves of all tbe amenities
of city life, to say constantly and
didaolically : "Young men, young men.
stay on the farm ;" and how largely
docs tbo lite of just such people affect
tbe conversation ot a bealtby young
ruralist into a wheezy, billious, over
worked, underpaid citl The young
pcoplo in the country point to such
men tho city magnates who can be
counted by the score, as evidence ot
what can be dono by plunging into
city lite, oblivious ot tbe thousands and
lens of thousands who grind along a
weary existence in the hearts of theso
great cities, vegetating amidst squalor
and poverty, in s(reo(s and alleys,
where the free air of heaven and
Iho glorious sunlight are unknown ;
or, to tako more common cases, the
thousands who live and die without
ever having known, perhaps, the actual
pangs of cold and hunger, but without
ever having known the good health,
the comfort and plenty, the frosh air
and wholesome food a country life
affords. And yet, withal, the tendency
ot tbe rural population to emigrate into
ihe cities seems to continue and even
(o increase.
Dues this not often arise from the
neglect of tbe parents to make the
farm homo a pleasant one ? All work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy ;
and yet we fear the tendency of many
a man, who, though reasonably pros
perous, has had to frown upon any
thing that dooa not partake ot money
getting. Is not every little bit ol
bnory begrudged tc these young gins,
whoso love and affection la to be tbe
solace of their parents' old age, but
who are, alter all, young girls still,
and dearly love a gay ribbon or a
pretty hat? Pleasantgamosof an even
ing in tho family circle, a fow books,
tlo wort, and a determined effort on tbe
part of all to try and enjoy life aathey
travel through it, in every innocent
and enjoyable way, would do much
toward reconciling tho young loins to
a farm life.
