TIIKKRGAT OCC10KNT. On April 13th the celebrated trotter Occident arrived in Philadelphia from California, and stabled at Foint Breexo, where he will be immediately put in training for coming contests with East ern flyers. Occident is the property of Governor Stamford, and is valued at above $50,000. Recently he was placed uncWr the charge of 13udd Do bio, and has ma.lo wonderful improve ment, and he will give lhe"Qtteen of the turf," Goldsmith Maid, and Judge Fullerton, n lively shake for pre-eminence. Occident was accompanied by another fast horse, St. James. The object iu bringing the htfrses this early is to have them acclimated by the time May races commence. Occident will be carefully exercised by Doble, and each day will have private trots with the Philadelphia trotter, Nettie, with a record of 2:18, and will, with this mare, trot for the first timein public in the East. Occident's best time was 2:16. Doble has high expectations of this California equine wonder, and he thinks he will show better records than ever before on our courses. Oo cident will probably be returned to Governor Stamford's farm this fall. As a measure preparatory to the com ing battle on the tttrf, Doble has built in Camden a sulky which 'weighs but forty-eight pounds for the use of Occi dent, and Mr. Ellis, the owner of Net tie, has had one constructed which weighs but fifty pounds. Some years ago there was; an old steamboat captain who was at once owner and commander of one of the numerous floating-palaces on the broad Mississippi. Capt. Striker was a Ger man, passionately fond of music, al ways carrying a band on his boat, which was a favorite packet and pat ronized by all the planters on the Bayou La Fourche. His family re sided near the town of Donaldsonville. The building of a church having been proposed, Captain Striker subscribed $300. In due course of time tho church was finished. Then a lightning-rod was proposed, and another call made on Captain Striker. Rising from bis chair and gesticulating an grily with his forefinger, the old Ger man replied : "No, chiutlemen, I vil not. I say vonce for all un vonce more I vil not. I gif three hundrhed dollars to raise a schnrch to Got. Now, if Got.vonts to tunther it down, fy jus let him tunther avay J" " Paper can be manufactured from iron. If a tallow candle be placed in a gun and shot at a door, it will go through without sustaining injury; and if a musket ball be fired into the water it will not only rebound but be flattened ; if fired through a pane of glass it will make a hole the size of the ball, without cracking the glass. Cork, if sunk two hundred feet in the ocean, will not rise on account of the pressure of water. In the Arctio re gions, when the thermometer is below zero, persons can converse more than a mile distant. Dr. Jamison asserts that he heard every word of a sermon at the distance of two miles. - "Mark Twain used to run a boat down here, didn't he?" inquired a traveler of a Mississippi pilot lately. "Mark Twain," replied the old river man, "Mark Twain ; do you mean him as Sam Clemmans-I -.Val, yes, he did try pilotiu' yer awhile, but he r couldn't do it,' couldn't do it. 'tall; hadn't the gen'us. But I tell ye what," continued the grizzly veteran, giving ms wheel a twist, "it ye d a gin him boats 'nough while he was a-practicin' he'd a-cleared the river of snags, for suan. "Did vou ' ever see that niftni-a grandma" asked a young lady, as mey iook a view ot me taraily por trait gallery. "See it I why it's a portrait of my self when I was seventeen." . "I thought you had forgotten it, or you wouldn't always be lecturing us girls about modesty in dress." Grandma looked over her spectacles and declared the girls now-a-days were very impertinent to their elders. "Hallo, stranger 1 you appear to be traveling T" "Yes, I always travel when I'm on a iournev." "I think 1 have seen you somewhere." "Very likely.I've often been there." "Mightn t . your name be smith r "Well, it might if it wasn't something else." "Have you been long in these parts T" "Nev er longer than at present five feet nine." "Do you calculate to remain here some time?" "Well, I guess I'll Stay till I'm ready to leave." If married men will attend the spelling-matches tbev had better leave their wives at home. It isn't comfort able to walk home with her and have the aer creature muttering every step, "I'm ashamed of your ignorance:" and "If you can't spell 'agitato' I'll teach you when I get home." No, it's disheartening. A Milwaukee chap kissed his girl about fortv times riht strain-lit aluon- - j e o b i and when he stopped the tears came into her eyes, and the said in a sad toue of voice, "Ah I John, I fear you hnvo ceased to love me." "No, I havon't," replied John, "but I' must breathe. A Yankee editor tosses up the sponge with the remark that "It don't ' pay to run a paper iu a town where tuinness men read almanacs, and pick (heir teeth with tho tail oi'a herring."
