Durinj tbe recent camp bunt op
L James' island by pome of our citi
zens, Fays the Tallahasse Floridian,
an incident occurred wbich ;s, per
Laps, without a parallel in tbc annals
of hunting, and deserves to bo re
corded. A large buck closely pur
sued by the famous staff hound Old
Ring owned by Mr. Hopkins, took
water and headed right out to sea ;
the dog, without hesitation boldly
fallowing him in his voyage over the
"dark and treacherous waves." They
were watched with intense interest
by the hunters until each was a mere
Fpcck upon the surface of the sea ;
and until they were finally and total
ly loft to view. After "some time,
when it was supposed that both dog
and deer had found a watery, and,
perhaps, a bloody grave in a mortal
combat, or had been devoured by
sharks, a small object was discovered
which proved to be Old King, return
ing from bis long swim, much ex
hausted, but reaching the shore in
safety. Cut to the greater surprise
of the spectators, after a time the
deer also appeared in sight, making
riLt for shore, on reaching which he
was shot down by one of the hunters.

The Civil Rights bill mar enable
a colored gcntlemaa to enjoy all the
privileges of soda-water fountains,
ice cream saloons, and billiard rooms,
but we would like to see him subject
Lis visage to the manipulations of a
white barber, lie would find Lim
wlf in as dangerous a position as
General Forrest
It is said that Forrest went into a
barber shop on Broadway to be
shaved. The colored gentleman who
officiated was voluablc. Forrest was
in a good humor and disposed to be
talkative. At last it came out that
the gentleman who was being shaved
was called Gen. Forrest, whereupon
the eulored gentleman wanted to
know if he wa? having the honor to
shave General Forrest of the late
Confederate cavalry. General For
rest mildly assented. Whereupon
the barber remarked that he was glad
to make the General's acquaintance,
as his brotLer was a soldier in the
Federal army. "Where is your
brother?" asked the General. "He
was killed at Fort Pillow!" answer
ed the barber.
Silently and as gently as the fall of
the snowflake but accurately and
without hesitation the General slid
from beneath the razor of that bar-,
ber, gained his feet, and with a face
bare as to one side, and lathered as
to tLe other, remarked : "You can't
shave me this morni-g." A friend
who nut him a moment afterward,
remarked the singular appearance of
his face. The General merely ob
served : "I like to have half of my
face shaved at a time."
That Bir Lick.
We find in an exchange the follow
ing sketch of James Lick, the eccen
tric millionaire, whose late public
gifts in San Francisco have excited
such wide-spread comments:
"Mr. Lick is the son of a plain Leb
anon county farmer, was born in a
one-story log house, common in the
country in those days, seven miles
from the town of Lebanon, and bred
a farmer's loy. During the gold ex
citement of 1S4I, Mr. Lick, like many
others, wended his way to the Pacific
sl"pe in search of a fortune. Unlike
inanv fellows, he succeeded bevond
bis expectations. A few years aro
Mr. Lick had the old house in which
be was born shipped by rail to his
Pacific home, and there again set up
on his farm, and furnished as of old,
a wonder to curiosity-seekers. Mr.
Lick's fortune was made in lucky
g ld and real estate ventures. With
in a decade be established the "Lick
House," one of the grandest hotels
in all the world. The pictures on the
walls of the dining-room of this mag
nificent caravansary were painted by
Mr. F. Spang, who then resided in
Talifornia. Mr. Lick's liberality has
blwavs been manifested in tbe cause
of humanitv. and his latest acts of
generosity show the same benevolent
bout of Lis mind. He also lelt a
deep interest in the advancement of
scientific knowledge, and had just ar
ranged for the manufacture and pur
chase of the largest telescope ever
made, and is about establishing an
observatory on the very Bummit of
the Sierra Nevada for the better study
of astronomy. The different local,
benevolent and charitable societies of
San Francisco have felt the influence
ofhis liberal hand. Ilehad no blood

an oblong phial of the whitest and
clearest glass; put into it. a piece of
phosphorus about the size of a pea,
upon which pour Borne olive oil, heaU

about one-third full, and then seal the
phial hermetically. To use it re
move the cork and allow the air to
enter the phial, and then re-cork it
The whole empty space in the bottle
will become luminous, and the light
obtained will b equal to that of a
lamp. As soon as the light grows
weak its power can be increased by
opening the phial and allowing "a
fresh supply of air to enter. In win
ter it is sometimes necessary to heat
the phial between the hands to in
crease the fluidity of the oil. Thus
prepared the phial may be used six
months. This contrivance is now

Juha Tarviaaes, a Fnlandcr, thirty
three years of age, was convicted of
as sault and battery in Newark last
autumn, and sent: need tow year?, im
prisonment in the State Penitentiary
at Trenton. He entered that institu
tion on the 11th of November and
was placed at labor in the shoe shop.
He was industrious and tractable un
til the middle of May, when he de
manded his discharge, importuning all
the officials to whom he could obtain
access. Oa the 20th he swore he
would eat no food for forty days, and
he has kept the oath. He became
violent and abusive, and a day or
two a'tcr the beginning of his extra
ordinary fast he armed himself with
a sharp" knife turned on the water in
his. cell, and threatened to kill any
one who attempted to turn it off.
Hf, was finally overpowered, with-
out injury to any one, and removed 10
a cell in the norm wing, ne usm-hvu
his innocence repeatedly, and throw
ing himself upon his cot he has lain
there most of the time since. Every
inducement imagiuinable has been
made to lead him to break this re
solve. The most tempting food has
been placed in bis cell repeatedly,
only to be dashed across the room
and the dishes shivered to atoms
the instant he could lay hands upon
them. As he has not been out of his
cell since entering it, and no one has
succeeded in getting him to place a
mouthful of food to hi3 lips, it is ab
solutely certain that he has fasted for
full forty days and nights. He has
drank watcr'and munched ice contin

break down" his indomitable will.
His extraordinary fast ended on
Wednesday, when, under the direc

and a rr'asa of Jamaica rum.
The Moon a a Farmer.
A farmer tells us that he doe3 not
doubt that fully one Lalf of the tillers
of soil in this country believe in gooa
and bad influences of the moon in the
development of vegitation, and year
after rear they follow the directions
that have come down to us from far
off generations, of men. The same
remark will hold good for agricultu
ral communities the world over.
Products that 1ruit under ground, as
potatoes, turnips, kc, are duly plan
ted in the dark of the onion, while
those that fruit in the light are
planted or sown in the full of the
moon. The same rule holds, they
say, in the setting oi ii-nce posi auu
laying of shingles; if set in the dark
of the moon posts will last longer,
and shingles will not curl up as they
say, they will do if they are laid in
the light" of the moon. "Hitch your
horse to a star," is a transcendental
sentence of Emerson's. Agricultu
rists do not go so far as that at
least we never saw a wagon thus
"hitched" horses, mules, oxen,
steers, cows, heifers, &c., being the
usual motors; but half the agricultu
ral world seem to take more stock
in astrology than chemistry. They
claim that there is a treat deal in
the moon theory. It is, furthermore,
claimed that ruoonlizbt rapidly dete
riorates meats and fish exposed to the
beams of Luna.
The Folly of Falng Tobacco.
I met a man a few days ago, a gen

but for the fact that tobaco juice was
slowly intruding out of both corners
of his mouth. ncn 1 accosted him

hi3 prompt reply was, 'I don't know ;
1 guess it is because I am a tool I
using my money for something that
does me no rood.' The thought
struck me, he must be an artificial
and not a natural fool, or he would
not have been so good at guessing.

A Krrnp Kroiu Baru,ak.
Iii the happy daya when Karha
than Parah was King of the Burmese
a potter formed in his heart' an evil
plot against the prosperity of hia
neighbor, a wealthy washerman who
lived in the same village. The envi
ous potter, bent on injuring his good
neigh- r, went to the palace of the
king, aid thus addressed him:
"O illustrious prince! is it not well
known in the mountains and valleys
of our land that all the calamities
which have come so severely and
suddenly upon your kingdom of late
years have arisen from the fact that
your Majesty has no longer the charm
of the white elephant, Eince the un
fortunate death of the lucky white
elerhant which belonged to your fath
er, who now reposes in rapture in the
seventh heaven of the blessed inimor-1 J
Ink? T)r vr,n not know. O kin?, that
the elephant which how carries you
is but a common black beast, which
brings only black luck to us? Hav
ing, therefore, your prosperity and
glorv at heart, 0 king and kissing the
dust from your golden feet, I venture
to propose tbe following plan to your
Majesty: There is a washerman in
this city of extraordinary skill in
washing or dycinjr white everything
brought to him, however black it
may be, and however difficult to make
white and beautiful. Let, now, my
lord the king considder well the
word of his servant, and bid this
skillful washerman to wash your roy
al elephant white, so that the white
days of prosperity may once more
dawn upon your Uiessea Ainjes-
tf-" .. . ...
The king who was wee a iu uuuu,
heard the potter's project with de-
ight, and readily assented to il lie
summond the skillful washerman,
whose fame was great, and thu3 ad
dressed him.
"I command thee, most loyal sub
ject, to use thy skat in washing my
elephant white, that l may enjoy
white davs or prosperity even as iuy
father before me."
But the washerman, who was a
shrewed man, suspecting the plot to
ruin him by so vain a project, thU3
spoke to the king:
"Oh, my lord king! that I may
wash my lord's royal elephant white,
a suitable washinghousc must be
erected, and also a pot of correspond
ing size must be constructed, and
then I will wash your Majesty's
highly respected elephant white, and
feel myself thrice blessed in having
carried out my lord the king's wish-
CS."
On this the king summoned the
potter, and enjoined him, on pain of
his royal displeasure, to construct a
vast pot, of sufficient dimensions to
hold the royal elephant, as well as a
sufficient quantity of water and other
constituents for the ablution. The,
potter, in fear and trembling, collect
ed a mass of clay, out of which he
constructed a pot large enough to
hold the royal elephant.
When, however the elephant step
ped into this huge pot, it broke into
several pieces. Another pot was
made, of considerable thickness, by
the potter, who, d as he would,
could not, even by his largest fires,
bake it thoroughly, so as to make it
both compact and strong. So tbe
unfortunate potter was in this dilem
ma: if he made a thin pot, it was
biokcn by the weight of the elephant,
and if he mada it thick enough to re
sist such a weight, he could not, with
all his efforts, get the pot sufficiently
baked, and was obliged at last to
jrive up the task as beyond his pow
er, and to brave the royal displeasure,
which consigned him to a prison for
the rest of his life, and confiscated his
roods.

That Walking Woman.
The Sacramento Union of the 11th
has the following regarding the fe
male who started from Kansas City
afoot for the California coasts some
sixty days ago
"The female pedestrian camped
night before last in some hay near
the southern end of the railroad
bridrre. and yesterday inornin? star-
-o
ted out brijut and early to resume
her tramp. At seven o'clock she
passed along Front Street, walking
in the center of the wagon road from
the bridge to I street, and there tak
ing to one of the railroad tracks and
followed it down the levee. She
wore an old 'Shaker bonnet and a
calico dress, looked as distressingly
homely as a woman well can, and
carried two bundles done up in towlb.
She did not appear to be possessed of
blankets nor any kind oi cooking
utensils, not even a coffee pot She
reached Brighton at half past nine.
Meeting one of the Sacramento Val
ley Railroad trains a short distance
this side of that place, she dodged
behind a telegraph pole till it passed
by. At Brighton junction she con
tinucd on up the Sacramento Valley
track, but a bystander called out:
'You are on the wrong track madam!'
Without acknowled-rinjr the hint by
as much as a look, she continued on a
few yards further until, on reaching
the ton of the levee, the turned from
the Valley track, made for the West
ern Pacific and soon disappeared
About half-past two she was passed
by a train midw ay between Horin
and Elk Grove. Oa her way to the
bav she will have to pass over one
niece of tiestlc-work five miles in
length, with water deep enough

Tbe Fishing Froff.
Writers on natural history describe
a hideous reptile known as the fishing
frog, which angles for its game as
expertly and with as much success as
the most adroit fly fisher. He is a clum
sy swimmer.but Nature has compensa
ted him for his unwieldiness by fur
nishing him with an equivalent for a
rod and line, with bate always ready
for use. Two elongated tentacles
spring from his nose, which taper
away like actual fishing rods. To tbe
ends of them arc attached a slender
filament, which serves the purpose of
a line, a bate in the form of" a shiny
bit of membrane. The hooks are set
in the mouth of the fisherman down
below, and in order to induce the fish
to venture within reach of tbem, the
angler sturs up the mud at the bot
tom with his tins and tale. This at
tracts the fish and conceals Lim from
their observation. He then plies his
rod; the glittering bait glows in the
water like a living insect. Tho daz
ed fish are taken in larpe numbers,
perfectly circumvented by the trick of
the crafty angler. "
Plagiarism.
The New York Arcadian makes
the charge that plagiarism is becom
ing of daily occurrence, especially
in our periodical literature, and brings
forward two notable instances. The
first of these is a long illustrated arti
cle on the stage, printed in the April
number of Harper's Monthley, signed
by Olive Logan, which is a literal
translation from a well known French
work, entitled "L'Envers du Thea
tre," by M. Moyron, with the excep
tion that some of the phrases are
Americanized and American plays
substituted for French ones. Even
the cuts are pilfered. The second
instance is an article in the New York
Observer on "The Tireless Brain," by
J. II. McDonald, which is taken al
most bodily from the "Autocrat of tbe
Breakfast Table." It is highly proba
ble that both Mr. McDonald and Miss
Loj-an were absent-minded when
they committed these thefts, but peo
ple troubled with such mental lapses
should not make choice ot works so
well known for the gratification of
their little idiosyncracies.

Italian t'iliea.
One remarkable feature in Italian
cities is that you sec no new build
ings in course of erection, growth in
that respect having apparently ceas
ed. A new street is being opened,
broad and serviceable, from the
square of Carlo Felieie, in Genoa,
directly to tho fortifications of the
city, in its course destroying one or
two private palaces of no mean pre
tensions, and of centuries in age
King Victor Emanuel has taken j
lesson in this respect from Napoleon
III, and this is the fourth or fifth
boulevard which he has opened lately
in Genoa, which has for centuries
been famous for its narrow and most
inaccessible -streets. It is no exag
geration to say that one-half the
streets of the city arc so narrow as
to render the passage of a vehicle
through them 6iniply impossible; cv
rytbing of size and weight delivered
therein is brougnton the back of don
keys, or more commonly on the heads
of women.

Brrkiblrra and Poland-Chinas.

they conld make the same amount of

case. One breed of cattle, as the
Short horns, lay on flesh readily,
while the Jerseys run to milk; and the
Merino sheep are superior wool pro

good mutton. So to with swine
while the common breeds are restless
and never satisfied, the Poland
Chinas and Berkshires fatten easily
at any age and on much less food
than it requires to fatten scrubs.
Farmers can see improvements in
