One of the most attractive girls I ever
knew was Louisa Bellamy. The Bellamy*
were well-connected, hat very poor—with
large family—two sons and eight daugh- i
tern. Louisa was the youngest of all.
The boys entered the East India Com- .
pnny'a service, and had been fortunate. 1
Charlee, the eldest, especial) v so. Circum
stances helped him very early, and he had
married a rich girl soon after his arrival in
India. Every ooe of his sisters had been
sent to him successively, and he had con
trived to find a good "pixrti" for each. All
had married well, and most of them were i
settled ia India.
Louisa's turn had come now. She was
going to India on the Bengal, of which I '
was ah officer, to get married. And she
meant to marry well.
George Armstrong, one of our passengers,
had nothing but his pay and a small pri
vate income of fifty pounds a year. Ann- j
strong grew to be quite a favorite on board
the Bengal, and he and I struck up a real
friendship. He took a fancy to me just as
I did to him.
The ship sailed on, the time flying by.
So pleasantly did it pass that we were well
down south tad across the south-east
trades before soy one began to talk of get
ting to the Cape. The weather kept fine; j
the evening promenades were continued,
as well as the flirting; and Mr. Armstrong
was invariably the companion of Miss Bel
lamy. In abort, it was, with him. the old
orv; be had played with edged tools, and j
cot his fingers.
One night I was keeping the first watch,
walking fore and aft the poop, when he'
came up and turned about with me. I
thought I'd rally him.
"Well, Armstrong, so you're in for it at
last P
"Pooh ! nonsense F returned he, turn
ing as red as a crimson sunset.
"It is useless your trying to deceive me,
man—and perhaps yourself also. I see it
all plainly."
u Well, upon my word. I believe It is sa
you say, old fellow," he acknowledged,
coming round. "I can't help myself."
'•Now, Armstrong, look here—take a
fool's advice. Don't let the fancy go on.
Get out of it while you can. Depend upon
it, you will only be wasting your time and
love upon ber. She is a charming girl; I
believe a truly good girl; but she knows
bow to take the best care of herself. She
is going out to India, as her sister* all did
before her, to find a rich husband."
"You know ber people, don't you 7"
"Yea. I know them. And I know the
creed tbey have brought her up in. Be
lieve me, Armstrong, Louisa Bellamy will
never look seriously on a poor man like
you."
"I suppose you are right," he said, after
a pause. "I have thought all along that
she was only amusing herself with me.
It's this: she attracts a man against his
wilL But lH cut the matter short from
to-night."
The next day Armstrong seemed to be
keeping to bis determination, for be did
not speak to Louisa more than common
civility demanded; and when in the cuddy,
always seated himself at a safe distance. '
But this could not last. The ice in
George Armstrong's bosom melted ; his
good resolves gave way. When fine ,
weather returned, and the evening walks
were resumed, he and Miss Bellamy were
again promenading the poop, aide by side.
And, all this time was she smitten 7 Not
one bit, that I could detect; and I watched
her closely. 1 felt sure that I had taken
her true estimate; she was of the world,
worldly.
One evening, some two months after
leaving England, the ship was going about
five knots, with the yards braced up, when
suddenly there was a loud cry from the
heltaunan.
"Man overboard P*
What a state of panic and confusion the
passengers were in! All the crew came
on deck in an instant; even tbey who had
been in their bunks.
"Who is it 7" I asked as I sprang aft.
"Mr. Armstrong," was the reply.
"Hard down the helm," I shouted, all
hands on deck. Let go the main tack and
bowline, mainsheet; back the mii> yard.
Mr. Grsen, take four hands with you and
clear away the small life-boat; get into
ber and lower away as soon as you're rea
dy. Jones," to a middy, "jump up in the
miznen-top and keep your eye on the man
overboard."
In a very short time the ship was stop
ped, and toe boat traveling as fast as four
good men could pull her, toward tbe place
where Armstrong could be seen from aloft
swimming about. Unfortunately, he had
• not reached the life-buoy thrown to him.
It was now a question of now long he
could keep up. The weather was fine, and
the water comparatively smooth ; but
there was a good deal of swell on.
It was a most anxious time. The sus
pense was terrible. Most of the passen
gers, certainly all the ladies, were literally
in fear and trembling for a human life.
We could only await the boat's approach.
All hoped and expected that he had been
picked up. but no one was sure of it He
might bare gone down, exhausted, just as
the boat was getting to him. A few min
utes would solve the question.
Louisa Bellamy was on the poop with
the others. For the first time I observed
something which told me that she, too,
perhaps, might have had her feathers
scorched from fluttering too near the
flame. There was no mistaking it; she j

s'M profoundly agitated; ber di* tress was
real ami very great, though she strove to
hide it.
The boat was returning. Had they
found hitu 7 "Yes,''said one, "I can count
atx. No—stopsbit. lt'*ouly trie. Ann
strong's lost."
"No; he ia saved," said the t'aplaiu,
'for 1 see him. Thank God." And with
the good words there arose a sudden com
motion and flutter.
"What's the matter with Miss Bellamy !
Oh dear I Mis* Britain v ha* tainted !"
It was true. They had to catch her as
ahe was foiling. The strain on the ner
vou* yst*iu had been too great. Nothing
was thought ot it; she *oon revived,
laughed it off, ami called herself stupid for
fainting "at such a trifle."
The lioat came alongside, ami Arwstioug
scrambled up the side-ladder.
The wcath er continued flue, and in a
few ilar* we entered the Moxatnbique
Channel Here we got a fine south-east
wind, w Inch sent u* bow ling along nine or
ten knots, with stimsails set alow and
aloft.
All this time Mr. Armstrong and Mi**
Bellamy seemed to go on fc usual. He
*■ constant ami demonstrative in hi* at
tention. In fact. It was plain to every
one on hoard how matter* were with him.
She, on thv contrary, appeared as indiflcr
cut a* ever, and teased him like a child.
Sometime* I fancied this imliflerence was
only assumed ; hut. if so, it was cleverly
done. Event*, however, were bringing on
a crisi*.
Some time after thi* event, one night,
when I had relieved the second mate, the
night was tine, aud tolerably elesr. t'lear
enough overhead. But on the water there
was a sort of hght mist, aud the rays of
tbe moon, which was now about two hour*
high, were daxxling. The hreeie had
freshened, and we bad quite eu jogh of it
far the small stuns'il*. I took my usual
turn round the decks, cautioned the look
out man, ami returned to the poop.
About hall-past one 1 reckoned up, men
tally, that we must have about run very
neariy the distance required to make a low
island. --Davis," I said to tbe third mate,
•■just go forward aud see it the lookout is
nodding; if so. give him a trifle to remem
ber you by. Stop on the forecastle your
self till 1 call TOU off, and keep a sharp
look-out."
Suddenly, a coup'e ot gull* *hrieked
overhead. "By heaven*!" thought I,
"that's a warning, and Til accept it." I
hurried forward, determined to remain on
the lookout myself. Aa 1 ascended tbe
forecastle ladder, Davis was in the set of
coming down, and met me.
"Is that you, Sir ? There'* something
ahead I can't quite make .out. I was
comirg aft to tell you. It look* like a sort
of cloud."
Pushing post hitu, I took one look. Fur
a second of time my heart seemed to turn
quite cold and stand still. I felt half sick.
The next moment 1 was all right; tbe
•hock had been too heavy. There was the
island scarcely a mile en. I could see tbe
surf distinctly with the glome*, and the
ship was tearing along straight for it, aliout
ten knots an hour. We ought to have
seen it sooner, but the glare of tbe moon
rendered tbe horizon all round quite black
looking ; while at tbe same time its rays
on the water made the surf impossible to
be distinguished st a distance.
For a moment I thought nothing could
save tbe ship. Fortunately, I have always
been very cool ; quite self possessed in sud
den emerge not--, as in moments of the
greatest peril. It is my nature to be so;
and I wish all sailors could say tbe same.
There was but one thing that could save
ua; and 1 tried it.
"Hard up! haul up," I shouted to the
helmsman. "Call all bands to save ship
Let go the royal halyards and * tuns'l larks
fore Vnd aft. Brace tbe erossjack yard
round." By this titae 1 had got down off
tbe forecastle, and hurried aft. "Let go
, the lee mam braces, one uf you; main tack
and sheet, too, somebody.All this had
occupied less than half a minute; ami I
now met the tlfyrd mate with his startled
and anxious face.
Two minutes more, and we were in a
pretty pickle. The helm liad been nut
hard up, and the ship spun round on ber
hevl like a top. She was now flat aback
by the Ice, and going stern first toward
the islaud. The men bad been too slow in
their movements; and before the yards
could be braced round tbey had taken
aback. Tbe state of confusion wa* fright
ful. I got up oil to the poop All the
crew were out on the deck, some pulling
on one rope, some on soother, all of them
talking, many frightened and bewildered.
This would never answer.
"Silence, fore and aft! Attend to the
word of com mind. Mr. Greet), bring your
watch into the poop and turn this main
yard round. Do you hear there, starboard
watch on the poop. Fort watch, haul in
the port cross jack braces."
The Captain rushed on deck.
"There's the land, Sir," 1 said, "that
black streak ; and there's tbe broken wa
ter."
And uncommonly close it was to us.
Tbe Captain looked bewildered.
"Shift the helm, my lad." 1 said to the
man at the wheel. "Now, Sir," I contin
ued, •'you see how she is. If you will take
charge. I'll go downt on tbe main deck and
get the bead yards to rights; tbe boat
swain is making a regular mess of it. And
with all the lee stuns'!* set and the swing
ing boom out, it's an awkward job."
"All right, W he replied. "IU
look after her."
The scene in the cuddy vi a terrible
one. When the starting cry was echoed
along the decks and through the cabins,
"All hand* save ship," tbe passengers had,
one and all, expected immediate ship
wreck, and death a* a natural corsequenee.
In these moments of sudden peril on board
ship, and especially if they occur at nighty
passengers, invariably give way to excess of
terror. It is bnt natural. The women
rushed from their hed* shrieking, sobbing,
talking wildly. Tbey did not dare to go
on deck, but huddled themselves in s group
in the cuddv. To add to tbe confusion,
tbe lamp had gone out, and tbey were in
darkness. Gsorge Armstrong had hurried
back from the poop st first, in search of
Miss Bellamy. Believing that the ship
must inevitably go ashore in tbe next few
moments, he ignored ceremonv and burst
into her cabin. She had just left her bed.
There was no light, but instinct told her
who was coming to the rescue.
"Oh George, George! what is tbe dan
ger 7"
For answer, George Armstrong took her
to him, and clasped her in his strong arms.
It was no time tor concealing the peril.
"My dearest," he said, "a few moments
may end all. Even as I speak to you. tbe
ship's bottom is in danger of being knocked
out; in which case we most all perish."
She was dreadfully agitated. And in
that moment, each one believing it to be
the last, reticence was thrown away.
With the fear of death before us, we dare
not persist in a lie; and George Armstrong
heard bow passionately she loved htm.
And they msdc a compact, each with
each, that if, by God's mercy, they should
come unscathed out of this peril, they
would become to ooe another mm and
wife. Her head dropped on bis breast and
rested there ss she made tbe solemn prom
ise.
She let him take his first kiss. Then,
telling ber to get a cloak on, or something,
be left her with the other ladies in the
cabin.
Then he rushed np on deck and found
some of the passengers helping the crew to
brace the mainysrd round. Armstrong
fell to with his great strength, doing more
than svy two in the crowd. It was an
awful job getting the ship to rights. Fhre

j "I want to introduce a gentleman to

Charles Bellamy looked blank. There

style of introduction meant. Ere be had

and the frank, pleasant (ace of George
i Armstrong seemed to compel him to that

Major Bellamy looked round ami saw

pulled me aside. Our thoughts went hack
to the old (lays, ami it almost seemed as
| though we wen- lads together again. We
were at tbe same school, though he was a
few years older than 1.
"I say, Harry, what is the meaning of
all this f Louisa speak* to that ui*u as
'George,' and .he coolly introduces me to
him a* -my brother Charley.'"
"Well, I see you guc**," was my hurried
answer, for I had barely time to atay a

My companion drew in bis li(. "What

pleasure to-morrow."
It came to pas*, and very shortly; for
Major Bellamy did not see his way clear to
bold out again*! Louisa's will. Am) he
had grown to like Armstrong. I was at
the wedding ; and we had a pleasant time,
llow matters were settled at home I can
imagine. Mr*. Bellamy dashed down tbe
letter announcing the event with a groan.
She had not patience to read further.
Ijouiva 1 * ideas had indeed undergone a
change in a few mouths—and to h-r moth
er it was a cruel blow.
"The simpleton!™ said Mrs. Bellamy in
her wrath. "To think that she should tie
j herself to a poor Lieutenant in a marching
regiment, with nothing but hia nay, when
she might have done to well! I'U never i
forgive her; never."
She did, however, when Armstfong se
cured his majority, and wealth and petition
followed as a natural consequence.
An Important Derision
! Iu the United States Supreme Court
at Washington, a decision was rendered
in the cast- ol Bnffinton r*. Due, error to
the Circuit Court for the ftstrict of
Massachusetts. Tbe defendant in emu
waa judge of the Probate Conrt for Barn
stable County, Maaaaehnaetts, and the
plaintiff in error, as collector of internal
revenue, exacted of the judge income
on his salary. The tax was paid under
, protest, and this notion waa brought to
recover the amount The court below
held that the tax was unconstitutional,
and awanh-d judgment for plaintiff, for
the amount claim* d. That judgment
waa now affirmed, the court holding that
tbe judical power of the Htatea is exempt
from Federal taxation. AH the thirteen
States were in possession of thia power,
and were exercising it at the time of the
adoption of the Constitution, and it ia
not pretended that any grant of it waa
tnade to the general government by that
instrument. It is, therefore, one of the
sovereign powers vented in the States by
their constitution which remains un
altered and unimpaired, and in respect
of which the States are aa inde]>cn<lciit
of the general government as that gov
ernment ia independent of the State*.
Tbe supremacy of the general govern
ment therefore cannot be maintained.
The two governments are upon an
equality, and the question ia whether the
powi r to levy and collect taxes enables (
the genera] government to tax the saUrv
of the judicial officers of a State, whtcb
officers are instrumentalities employed iu
carrying into execution its most impor
tant function*. It is not held that the
mere establishment of the judicial de
partment and the appointmeut of offl
oers to adminster the laws beiug among
the reserved powers of the States dis
ables the general government from levy
ing the tax that depends upon the ex
press powers to levy and oollect taxes ; i
but it is regarded as showing that it is
an original inherent power never parted
with, and in respect of which the supre
macy of the general government doew not
txi't. It is said that thia 1 icing an original
reserved power in the States, and the
judicial officer appointed under it being
a means or instrumentalitv employed to
carry it into effect, the right and majesty i
of it* -unimpaired exercise, and the \
exemption of the officer from taxation
by the General Government, stand upon
solid ground, and are maintained by
principles and reasons as eogent as those
which led by the exemption of Federal
officera from taxation by the Btate ; for
in reojiect of those deferred power* the
Btate is aa sovereign and independent
as the General Government Mr. Justice
Bradley dissented.
TUB FONDNESS of certain animals for
fruit* is well known, and in many coun
tries is the cause of great annoyance and
lorn to the husbandmen ; yet, there is
sometimes s retributive justice which
visit* upon the marauder punishment
for his offense. One of the moot curious
instances of this is to lie found in
Burgundy, where the wolves suffer so
much in summer from thirst, owing to
the scarcity of water in the forest*, thi
they rush to the vineyards, and take
their fill of grapes. The effect upon
them is that the juice ferments in their
stomachs, the fumes rise to their heads,
they reel shout like human beings, they i
become intoxicated,' and then they fall
into tbe powerful iron traps which are
set for them, and from which escape is I
impossible.
A HTRANOE HTOBY comes from St.
Clair County, Alabama : Tbe stor. runs
that iu that county three disguised men
broke into a tax collector's house dnring
the absence of the good man, and de
manded the taxes already collected from
hi* wife, who courageously refused to
give them up. They searched for and
found the money, afterwards tolling the
woman to prepare supper for them. She
did so, but deftly put arsenic in their
ooffee. They drank, and soon fell dead.
Then the tax-collector's wife stripped
their disguises from their faces and found
that two of the villains were unknown to j
her, but the third was her husband, who :
had taken this means of stealing the
people's money.

conclusion for Mr. ItoWrtson, to wh-<—•
daughter Clara the ghost revealed the
mystery of the jar buried tinder a tn-e and
containing valuable documents affecting
the ownership of the college property. |
i It will be remembered that the jar, when
found, waa placed for safe keeping io
the care of Mr. Bobettaon, who was uot
to open it till he had kept it for a
month. The month had expired a day
or two ago, but liefore its exptratiou Mr.
Robertson heard, st d<-nd of night, a
noise in hi* woodshed. He went to see
what was the occasion of it, w hen lie was
luuanltcd bv M-vertd men. who aaid they
would kill fiim if he would not tell when
the jar was. He refused to do so, and
1 they beat him terribly. At last be yield- j
.-d, the mysterious cr<iok was taken away
by the robber*, gnd now Mr. HoWrtson
lies next to death's door.
A DAILY BATH for the whole liodv is not

washing as much aa tin- head, a* pgrapi

that are cased in wool mud leather arc
not excepted from this necessity of
cleansing. Digestion is freer when water
is applied above the orgvna of digestion ; j
and the washing of the client help* one
to breathe more freely. Bathing makes
the limbs more supple, and it opens the I
muacles to breathe from, if Mich an nn-;

j All will agree tliat in the second month
of rammer a daily liath is n luxury Dot
to lie omitted, but in winter it is hardly

among the working men in the world
than among those who are lied rich.
('oprntß bronzing powder is prepared

state of division, which is done in the
workshops, by treating a solution of a

according to Euclid, is that which has
no parts and no magnitude. A pin can
not stand on that which has no porta,

waa bit upon and related by a traveller
recently from the frontier*, who waa
asked bow thia waa. He said when tha
prate were erected there were some forty
<r fifty Indian prisoners in the ouup of
the army. General Pinto, fearing that
they might destroy thia important work
of drQiaahou, called them together, and
brought in an electric lottery ;
•' Do vou are thi* wire which ia placed

-Yea, General"
" Well, then, I have caused it to be
place 1 there, ao that you should not pare
to the other side or touch it, beoanaa if
you do, your bauds will adhere to the
wire."
The Indians smiled with an incredu
lous look. The General called them one
by ooe. and made them lay hold of the
wires of a battery and then act it agoing.
•- Let go the wirea, I tell you."
"I cannot, sir. my handi are be
numbed."
On cutting off the current of course
they drojiped the wirea. Each Indmn
waa. made to experiment for himself
Before letting them go the General re
commended them to keep tbe secret and
not tell it to their countrymen
Of course they did quite the contrary,
and told every Indian what they bad

Piocbc, Nevada, although beariug an

canvas houses, all Iwing built ot lumber,
with the exception of a few reaidoaora of

Meadow-Valley street, which commences
at Main aud runs up on ' the lull,' is the
moat frequented. On thi* corner, write*
a correspondent of the WUfe Pine Yen,
congregate all the idle expectants, ty pea
of which I have seen in every new mining
camp I waa ever in. and Pioche doesn't
lack for them. AU day kxug this corner
is crowded with idle, listless-looking
men, smoking their pipes and conversing
na to the times and prospects of the dis
trict. They tell me that no man need
want for work here, Imt jf such be the
case, there must be a good many men in
Pioche that don't want to work. Tome,
the town looks dull. Tbe merchants say
it is overdone. It looks very much that
way. There are shout three hundred
regular producers, and those, in connec
tion with what strangers happen to drop
in with money In their pockets, are
called upon to support a population of
two thousand. • Stores, saloons, faro
games, danee-houaes, must all be sup
ported ; and as every person in each of
these branches of business can not be
well patronised, the patronage must be
distributed which makes light business
for all.

Throughout Japan it is the universal
diatom for young ladies, when arriving
at the ago of fourteen an J fifteen, to be
placed in what mar he appropriately
called a ft Dialling catabliahmeub This
establishment has the following among
other peculiarities, vis : All the masters
par fur the privilege of teaching, instead
of (as the oaae is with na) being paid far
their lessons. This makee the instruc
tion a labor of love. Then, again, to a
certain ejtent, a Japanese young lady is
allowed considerable freedom aa to the
selection of her instructors; she gener
ally prefers the beat looking. The
scholars do not ait in a doae, pent-up
room, filled with girls bolt unngbt,
each perched upon an educational stool,
bnt in a delightful garden fragrant with
tea and flowers, surrounded by a num
ber of little summer booses embowered
in the midst of the most charming
vegetable products. Hare are the bright
eyed damsels, with cheeks- ss pink as
the rosea, moving around with graceful
steps, each bearing a small lacquer tray
with tea and cakes. In each of these
summer houses there is a master or pro
feasor, either waiting the return of one
of the refreshment-bearing damsels, or
else sitting by the side of one who has
already come back. Japanese girls re
main in educational seminaries of this
kind until marriage, and they make
excellent wives.
