They were consequently driven in wa ter not over four ieet deep. Dr. Slack, however, an eminent fish-culturist in the neighborhood, who had travelled in Egypt and had observed the mode of managing sturgeon attached to boats on the Nile, overcame the diffi culty. He had two large hollow floats made in the shape of swans, and paint ed white to resembla those birds. To each of these floats a cord of three feet was attached and fastened into tht rings on the pole to which the traces are made fast ; the wooden awant thua serving an ornamental as well as a useful purpose. To create the delusion that the boat is drawn by swans, a pair of gay reins reach from the bird like floats to the bow. The boat ia shaped like a shell, and Col. Sitgreaves, sitting in the stern with his trident which he frequently carries is no bad representation of Neptune. His Pal inurus, Sammy Phillipdi, who keeps a fast team, is as skillful in directing the course of the aqueous steeds as he is in driving the pair on the road. Love of the Beautiful.

Good Story of a "Boston Party." A correspondent writing from . San Francisco, is responsible for the fol low ing: A good story or two is told of the "Boston Party which was here last Summer. The members of thit party were, for the most part, men who were in the habit, of knowing where their money went, and of making and requiring exact change. Thit trait led them into many prolonged and not wholly decisive contests, and event ually attracted a good deal of atten tion. A Californian was characteriz ing their small way. with more empha sis than good taste, when another Cal ifornia took up the gauntlet in their behalf. "They can't help it," said he, "they don't act from penuriouaness, but from education. They have al ways been used to close calculations and exact settlements, and they can't go back to life-long training." "Well, there', one thing they can do," said the other, "they can stay at home and not expose their breeding." The same nartv visited the Nevada Silver Mines, and upon coming out of toe tunnel one of them oiTered their guide who chanced to be one of the principal owner, of the mine a half dollar for his trouble. Ihe miner looked at the money a moment and then turning to the man said, "May I ask you how much you aie estimated at home to be worth ?" "About twenty-five thousand dol lars," replied the Boston i an. "Well," said the miner, "I guess I won't take your half dollar. I made a quarter of a million here last month." Valuable Invention. A Birmingham, England, invention consist, of a machine de.igned to punch the holes through the web. of steel rails; near their extremities, which are required in "fishing" joints. Two boles are simultaneously punched.each being one inch by one and a quarter in dimension. The pressure is applied by mean, of a hydraulic cylinder of fourteen inches diameter; and tbe wa ter i. supplied from at. accumulator having a compressed air-chamber, in which the pressure is raised to 300 at mospheres, The total pressure which tbe press it capable of exerting amounts therefore to nearly 400 ton. The upward stroke is effected bf meant of a smaller cylinder which is alway. in communication with the accumula tor, so that the .mall piston always tend, to lift the ram and punch. When a down stroke is to be made, the water i. admitted to the main cylinder by opening a stop-valve, this valve being combined with a - discharge-valve, which is opened on the completion of the downstroke, the ram being then raised by the action of tbe .mall pis ton, and the water in the main cylin der flowing off through the waste-pipe. If any of our young lady friend, are impecunious, in other word, hard np for pin money, we can tell them how to make a raise. At least, we can tell them how a Nevada girl spot ted $3,000. ' One night the presented herself at the bedside of a you eg man of tusceptahle bosom, and asked him the conundrum, "did he love her." Now, we ask, where it the youta who would answer "no 1" to such a question, under such circumstances? If such there be, go mark bim well and shoot him on the spot. Since Joseph left his coattail. in Potiphar'. house, there "don't was" auy such young man. This Nevada youth answered, "yes,"of course. And then that gentle maid I went away and sued that natural young man for f 3,000 on a breach of promise.

Desiring to renew; the acuuaintcuce (for the lady had interested him great ly at the time) he accosted her with the remark : "Madam, did I not have the plea sure of marrying you a lew days since ?," "1 was married a few days since sir. "Yes I thought I was not mistaken. I married vou." "Indeed! Well, I thought my hus Sand was a much younger man than you are but I have not seen enough of bim to make bis acquaintance thor oughly. By the way, my dear, my chiguon is getting thubby ; please give me some money to buy a waterfall." Evidently this was more than the minister bargained for, and with a hasty bow, accompanied by "No you are not the lady I'm mis taken," he took his leave. Out in Iowa kisses are sold at fairs by the fair. A man . pays a certain sum to the general fund, and then se lects the girl or woman he desires to kin. S2 PER ANNUM. Tanking a Swim. tsssa.ss Out in Ohio, last week, twenty Bap tist clergymen, who were attending a Convention, went down to a sacludcd spot on the river bank, in the after noon, for the purpose of taking a swim. These score of brethren removed their clothing and placed it upon the rail road track close at hand, because the gTass was wet Then they entered the water and enjoyed themselves. Pres ently an express train came around the curve at the rate of forty miles an hour, and before any of the swimmers could reach dry land, all those under shirts and tockt and things were flut tering from the cow-catcher, and speeding tn ward toward Kansas. It was painful for the brethren exceed ing painful because all the clothing that could be found, after a careful search, waa a tun umbrella acj a pair of eyeglasset. And they do lay that when those twenty marched home by the refulgent light of the moon, that evening, in single file, and keeping close together, the most familiar ac quaintance with the Zouave drill, on the part of tbe man at the head, with the umbrella, still hardly sufficed to cover them completely. They felt conspicuous, somehow ; and the situa tion was made all the more embarrass ing, because that night all the Dorcas societies, and tbe woman's Rights Con ventions and the pupils at the female boarding school, seemed to he pranc ing around the streets, and running across the route of the parade. Most of the brethren are now down on im mersion, and altogether in favor of the use of water only in sprinkling, - In the earlv stages of his ministry, the celebrated Dr. Strong.of Hartford, Connecticut, preached some time in a neighborhood village. One day a com mittee called upon him to settle with him for his services ; and, after etanv mering a while, signified to him, that his further services were not desired. "What does this mean, gentlemen?" asked the Doctor. "Why," replied the spokesman, with tome hesitation, "the people have got the impression that you are inclining to universal sal vation." ' "Gentlemen," answered the Doctor "I never have preached that doctrine ; but, if I ever should, I prom ise to make the people of this town an exception?" In New York a man last week made awstrer that he could run a closed urn brella down his throat to the handle. No sooner had he accomplished this feat than the base wretch who made the bet seized the umbrella by the handle and opened it all the way clinching it on the catch. He then fled. Of course all efforts to close the umbrella and remove it have been ut terly useless, the poor sufferer walks about with his person distended in manner that is inexpressibly painful These practical jokes are very wronz Just for the sake of a moment's amuse ment this mau is obliged to carry that umbrella with mm to ma grave.

So we looked at each other again, and sure it- turned out to be nayther of us." A Virginia editor ha. come to the conclusion that a man might as well undertake to bold himself at arm's length and then turo a double somer sault over a meeting-house steeple as to attempt to publish a paper that will suit everybody. A Young lady became so dissatisfied with her lover that she dismissed him. In revenge, he threatened to publish her letters to him. "Very well," re plied the ladv, "I have no reason to be ashamed of' any part of my letters except the address I" Said a pompous husband, whose wife had stolen up behind him and giveu him a kiss, "Madam, I consider such an act indecorous !". "Excuse me," said the wife, "I didn't know it was you."

Munson, an old resident of Williston, Vt., has just completed a wonderful musical calendar clock, which has attracted visitors from far and near. .It is in every detail his handiwork, the old farmer having spent his .pare hours in working upon it, for the past eight years. lie ha. produced an eight-day clock, whose dial marks the Becond, minute, hour, day of the week, day of the month, month and year; a thermometer rest against its pendulum, giving the state of temperature ; the ball of the pen dulum contains a miniature time-piece, which derives its motive power solely from its vibrations, and keep, ac curate time. There is also a cylinder musical attachment, which may be set to plav any one of seven tunes at the end of each hour. In this last feature it can be so adjusted and such was the intention of the maker a. to play "Old Hundred" at the end of each hour on Sunday, and "Old Folk, at Home," "Swiss Waltz," "Star Span gled Banner," "Hail Columbia," "Yankee Doodle" and "Sweet Home" respectively an each successive day of the week. The entire mechanism is placed in a black walnut case, which measure, ten feet high, twenty inches wide and ten inches deep. The case is highly polished, and its front bear, the inscription in raised letters, "Our Union forever," "U. S." Mr. Munson, who is sixty -two years old aud quite feeble, feels proud of what he has ac complished. '.-. A Colorado saloon keeper said of a rough crowd: "I couldn't get. their whiskey strong enough for them, so af ter trying every way, I at last made a mixture of poison oak and butternut. That fetched them. I called it the sheep herder's delight, and it was & popular drink. The first Pike I tried it on yelled with delight ; the next one took two drinks and turned a doubla somerset in the road before the house. A peddler came along, and after he took several drink, of my sheep her der's delight, he went off and stole hit own pack, and hid it in the woods." A schoolmaster in Binghamton, N. Y., has been fined $1,700 for circulat ing a copy of verses found upon tha floor of his sshool-room, in which tbe character of a young lady in the neigh borhood was maligned. The action was brought under the new law, mak ing it an offense to impute a want cf chattity to a woman ; and it is said that some of the jury were in favor ef placing the damages at $10,000. ' The writer of the verse, it now to be pro ceeded against. ,, .:. , The Lynchburg, Va., Republican says : ''Lynchburg boast of a Run dial which was made in London in the year of 1428, and which, consequently, it now 443 years old, and which, when Columbus cressed the ocean blue and planted his standard on American soil, enjoyed the ripe old age of sixty-four years. ' The age of this vencrablo noter of tbe sun's course appear, to be unquestioned, aud ia doubtless the old est specimen , of man's ; handiwork which this country can furnish." A Woman has no natural graco more bewitching than a tweet laugh.
