A Phenomenal Island.
A most phenomenal island is that of
Bornhohn, in the lialtio, belonging to
tho kingdom of Denmark. It is famous
for its geological peculiarities, consist
ing as it does almost entirely of mag
netite, and its magnetic influence is
not only very well known to the navi
gators of those waters, but also much
feared by them, on account of its in
tluenco on tho uiaguetic needles, which
makes the steering of a ship correctly
a matter of much difficulty. In fact,
this influence is felt even at a dis
tance of miles, and so palpably that,
on the island being sighted by marin
ers on the Baltic, they at once discon
tinue steering their course by the
needle, and turn, instead, to the well
known lighthouses and other holds to
direct their craft, Between Bornhohn
and the mainland there is also a bank
of rock under water, which is very
dangerous to navigation, and because
of its being constantly submerged,
vessels have been frequently wrecked
at that point. The peculiar fact in
this case is that the tuagnetio influ
ence of this ore bank is so powerful
that a magnetic needlo suspended
freely in a boat over the bank will
point down, and, if not disturbed,
will remain in a perfectly perpendicu
lar line. Scientific American.

The Sequence Car.
Freight car numbered 12,345, of the
Xew York, New Haven & Hartford
liailroad, passed through Darlington,
1'awtucket, one day last week on the
branch railroad. What that car con
tained, where it was from, or where it
was going, is of no consequence. The
number of the car, 1'2,315, is all that
is of special interest.
This number on freight cars is the
fortunate number to find. A few years
ago, and perhaps until to-day, com
mercial travelers and whoever else
was traveling much, or was much
about the railroad, were all the time
looking for this nmgio number, in the
belief that to see it was a good omen,
nud wonderful were the stories told of
good fortunes which fell to those who
were so hoppy as to see it. It is a
simple matter, and it is not often a
car with this number comes into view.
It is very likely that had any othor
particular number been chosen it
would have been as difficult to find it.
A gentleman who saw this car last
week had been looking for it continu
ally for more thau half a score of years,
and during that time had traveled
thousands of miles, but his eyes had
not been blessed with a sight of it un
til Tuesday. He is not so superstitious

As a Nation, there Is not among us a cus

most universal regard lor tho t'hristlun
Sabbath. It has been so from the sottle
ment of tho country. Duo ot the principal
reasons assigned by John Ilobluson, tho
pastor of the Pilgrim Fathers, tor his littlo
lloek resolving to milt Holland, thelradopt
ed country whither they had lied ton
years before from England for America,
was, "that they could not bring tho Dutch
to observe the Lord's day as a Hahbath.l'
Onn of tho chief cares of these l'ilgrlin
Fathers on their arrival hero was tho ob
servance of tho sacred rest. In tho earliest
records of tho Dutch colonists tn New York
there aro decrees of tho most stringent
character, Intended to guard tho Infant
community against the demoralising ten
dencies of Hahbnth profanations, and even
to-dav, so far as the Hunday laws require
tho suspension of business, most of tho peo
ple very cheerfully obev.
Our mechanics rest from their labors on
that dnv. vast manufacturing establish
ments aro closed aud quiet, aud even our
schools, our courts, nud our legislative
bodies, bowing to tho majesty of law, closo
their doors and adjourn over so as to leavo
this dav unbroken.
but there Is a class of men who domand
that those laws, so far us respects them,
should ho repealed. Aud who compose this
class? HumBollors. And why should they
be exempt? What is thoro so much more
precious, or pressing, or peculiar Iu tho
liquor traftlo than iu those other kinds of
honest business that It cannot stop as well
as they? Who Is it that has constituted tho
whisky seller a sort of titled nobility

Is It not more dangerous to tho publlo
peace for tho rnniseller to dlspenso his
poisons on tho Habbath day than for tho
manufacturer to keep his establishment go

open his stall?
What, wo ask, Is tho rumsoller's special

ground shall tho truffle, in beer, with noisy

for a week, and once a day for four weeks,
then three or four times a week for four

after one week I began to recover and steadily improved until I was cured

and will cheerfully tell anyone what you havo done for me." Mra. Thob.
