AGRUTLTUftaL.
Droughts and Pwwtso. The fol
lowirg tliongiit" are eugett-d by the
agricultural editor of the Charleston
yeic. who commend to farmers the
propriety of experimenting co'iBtantlv,
ami alwayii noiiug carefully the result
of t heir experiment?, and as frequently
publish them. But by not so doing we
are of little aid to each other, and every
one is dependent upon his own experi
ence, which is of little benefit because
be ean never anticipate with certainty
what will be the result of his experi
ence. For instance, at certain stages of
the growing crops if a severe drought
should occur, ii is always a question
whether cultivation should continue or
ceae. lie ailils:
'During the past season wc hi a few
acres of late corn that was about shoul
der liijrh on the 19ih of July, when it
received a thoroughly soaking rain.
Ai.out thel-tof August It was well
plowed and hoed. No rain has fallen
on it from the IStli of Jul y to this day,
(3rd of September) the question with
us was, should it If plowed during ti e
severe drought? With all but a half
acre of it we exeriinented by giving it
three, sometimes four and Ave lurrows,
a far from the corn as necessary, with
a broad shovel and a heel sweep. This
was done about the middle of August,
iu the morning beloreS o'clock, and af
ter 5 P. M. Whether the corn will turn
out better than that on the untouched
half acre we cannot now tell, but we
are satisfied the wilting nf the crop was
less lor the next succeeding te l days,
and the lodder matuied bvtter on the
rest ot the patch than it did on the half
acre that was left clean but unplowed."
Apropos to this question, the Com
missioner of Agriculture, at Washing
ton, in a private letter, says:
"Droughts, partial but severe, prevail
in various sections ol the United States,
notably in Minnesota. It is remarkable
that usually, almost invariably, a
diouglit in Min tiesou and down or
along the western border, is accom
panied by wet weather in the ea-teru
Slate. The remedy fur drought, in
practical agriculture, is to plow, and
keep plowing; nothing like iu 1 have
kept uiy men plow ing w hen the dust
followed so as to cover them, and thus,
by stirring the ground constantly,
raised a good crop of corn when others
all around me tailed, because they
would not work the ground that had no
weeds in it, and did not need iylowin."
Fall Feeding. We find no season of
the Jer wliici. Is uore trying to any
kind of stock than the month ot Xoveni
ber. Frosts have robbed even the best
pasture of much of its nourishment,
and while the quxntity is there we will
find that the quality or feeding power
is deficient. This is perhaps more ap
parent with fattening stock than with
any other kini, but its effects are visible
in all The stipplv of milk is sometimes
lower in the dairy in November than in
January, and is almost certain to be so
when the cows are not fed In addition
to their usual allowance of pasture.
Fat steers during this season will often
not only fail to gain in weight but will
often go back during the whole of the
mouth. There is probably no season ot
the year when a little grain or bran
will do more good either to the milk or
beef supply than in November, and our
milk producers are fast finding it out.
But little can be accomplished bv feed
ing hay, lor the stock can still find dry
grass enough to destroy their appetite
lor dry food, and hence we must
look mainly to grain for help. In the
milk dairy bran will supplant the fail
ing pasture best ; for butler or beef, soft
corn will give the best results. No mat
ter what the kind of stock or what the
purpose lor which it is being fed, it is
easier to save the pounds in November
than to add on in January.
Victors Pons. A Delaware corres
pondent aks whether the owner of a
vicious dog can be held responsible for
anv damage he may do to the person or
property of a neighbor? in general
terms we may answer yes. The keep
ing of a vicious dog near a public high
way, in such a way as to endanger the
ttaveling public is a nuisance and ren
ders the person knowingly keeping it
there liable to an action by any person
injured thereby. One instance of ag
gression may be sullicient evidence of
a vicious propensity on the part of the
dog, and if it can be proven that the
owner had information ol this first case
be may be held liable for a subsequent
offense ol a like nature. The Supreme
Court lias decided lh-t in an action
against the owner of a dog for injury
occasioned by its vicious acts, it is not
admirable lor the owner to prove the
general good behavior of the dog, unless
there is a conflict of testimony in re
gard to the act of aggression, in which
case the general habits and conduct of
the dog may be considered in deter
mining the credit to bs given to the
witness. The habit of running out and
frightening horses will, alter the owner
has had due notice of at least one of
fense, hold the owner liable to a suit
for any damage which may occur.
Mixed Feed. I'roicssor Samuel W.
Johnson thug explains the theory of
mixed food: "To throw cured maize
fodder out into the cattle jard.or to
feed it in the stall as hay is fed, is
highly wasteful. It cannot be fed alone
or as an adjunct to hay; to use it profit
ably it must be finely cut and well
mixed or alternated with maize or cot
ton seed meal, bran or some similar
material. Maize meal and similar arti
cles contain too much albuminoids, fat.
and starch for healthy and economical
cattle food; maize fodder contains too
little of these and too much coarse fibre;
the two should be mixed."
Socrates.
A great man never dies. 'Many of
those who listen to Socrates to-day know
not who speaks, but none the less it is
his voice which utters many of the prac
tical precepts which guide their lives.
Intellectual and moral eminence these
make a god-like man. A remarkable de
velopment of Ills moral and religious
nature, united to a keen and untiring
intellect, made Socrate9 the father of
ethical philosophy. In the teachings of
Archelaus' his instructor, and in the
disputations habits of the Athenians,
may be found the influences which
directed his mind to moral qnestions.
It was with a mighry hand that
Socrates wielded that powerful instru
ment. Greek dialectics, or the method
of reasoning by questions and answers.
To this Socrates added Zeno's negative
method, or the development of all
possible oljections to a proposition.
Aristwtle says: "Two things may
justly be attributed to Socrates: induc
tive reasoning and general definitions."
Like many other men, S crates believed
himself to have a special divine mission,
but he appealed to the reason, and not
to the feelings thus differing from
all knowu religiouseuthusiasts. Human
life meant to him finding the truth and
living the truth. Speculation has been
unable to determine what as the
nature of " The Divine Thing" which
was to him a restraining guide.
His first object as a moral missionary,
was to convict the Athenians of igno
rance of true virtue, morality, or cour
age. His was bnt another way of s:iy ing,
'Except ye be converted and become
as little cbihlren, ye cannot enter the
Kingdom of Heaven.
Socrates spent forty years of his life
in the market-place, the gymnasium,
and the public walks of Athens, teach
ing the people. He took no money for
his labors. In every respect he is the
grandest figure in ancient Greece.
Provision is the lou idution of hospi
tality, and thrift U the fuel of magnificence.
SClKXTinC.
General Henry L. Abbott, recently gave
an account, in New York, of his series
of -xierimentft to test the rate at which
tremors trom explosions are transmitted
through the earth. The experiments
have been conducted in connection with
the work at Hal let's Point, and the pro
ceedings of the United States Engineer
School of Application at Willet's Point,
Long Island. The vibrations or tremor
passed through the earth of Long
Island a drift formation. The tables
of results are elaborate, and show a
much higher rate of transmission than
was heretofore conceded. The lot low
ing are the conclusions; In such obser
vations a high magnifying power of
telescope isesseutial. The more violent
the initial shock, the higher is the rate.
This rate diminishes a the wave ad
vances. For one mile, through drift
formation, a severe shock gives a velo
city of say 8 500 feet per second. The
rate for the great Hal let's Point explo
siou was about 8,300 feet per second dr
the first eight miles, and about 5.300
feet per second for the first thirteen
miles. These conclusions are supported
by much additional evidence that can
not be stated iu a tabular form. The
observations are made upon quantities
of mercury, the surfaces of which show
the disturbances. As yet, no distinc
tion of results between transmission
through the earth and through wtler
has been aceriaiued. The present
estimates enormously exceed those
given by Mr. Mallet, reported several
years ago to the Kojal Society; the
highest velocities then obtained being
not over a third of the lowest and a
fifth of the highest, of General Abbott.
Photographs of submarine explosions
were exhibited at the meeting, ine
most important of this series ol obser
vaiions were those taken at Hallet's
Point, when 50,000 pounds of dynamite
were exploded. Professor Hilgard re
marked that that the distances employed
iu these calculations were beyond ques
tion, as they had been determined by
the U. S. Coast Survey. No error ol
observation could explain the discrep
ancy between these results and those of
Mr. Mallet,
Vapor Volumes. In Ihe Journal of the
Ueruian Chemical society there is
paper by Troost, detailing experiments
made to determine the accuracy of Avo
gadro's theory that "equal volumes of
substances in the stale ot vaor con
tained the same number of molecules,'
that is, that the volume of the molecule
of hydrogen being called 2. the volume
of all other molecules must also be 2;
instead of, as happens iu certain cases,
apparently 4, 6, 8. The method of ex
periment ailopu d was to introduce into
the vapor of of chloral hydrate salt
containing water having a dissociation
tension nearly equal te that of chloral
hydrate; if the chloral hydrate vapor
undergoes dissociation, aud consists ot
qua! volumes of chloral and aqueous
vaiiors. then the vapor volume win re
main constnnt: but if chloral hydrate
is volatile as such, its vapor will be free
trom water, and on introducing the salt
it will give up water, and the volume
of vapor will Increase till the dissocia
lion tension is reached. The Salt usei
was potassium oxalate, containing one
molecule of water. 1 roost has found
that the volume increases on the addition
of the oxalate, leading hiui therefore
to the conclusion that chloral hydrate
undergoes volatilization without decom
position.
In the course of Professor Rood's re
searches respecting colors, of which
some account was recently given in
the reKrt of the preceedings of the
National Academy ot Sciences, .ew
York he obtained a numerical value for
ttie luminosity of different tints. The
results are as follows: White paper
being estimated as having a luminosity
of 10 , vermilion has 23 8, blue green
26. oG, chrome-yellow bJ.3, cohalt-blne
3J-3S. green 41 19, purple 14 83. The
vermilion was spread over the paper
in a thick paste. The blue-green con
sisted of a mixture of emerald-green
and cobalt-blue, applied in a thick paste.
The chrome-yellow was of the pale
kind, and was applied in a series of
washes, after the manner of water
color painting. The cobalt-blue was
applied in the same way as the chrome
jellow. The green was a mixture of
emerald-green aud chrome-yellow, ap
plied as a thick paste. The purple was
an aniline color.
Fretie and Melting Heat ol Platinum.
M. Yiolie states that t'le quantity of
heat Yielded by 15 4 grains of platinum
Irom the melting point to 59 Fah. the
average temperature of thecaloriraetric
liquid in the experimedl is 166-4. The
leuiierature of fusion of platinum is
3234 2, but the Increase of specific heat
of the metal with the temperature is
accelerated, doubtless, in the neighbor
hood of the fusing point, the platinum
passing through a pasty state belore be
coming liquid. Ihe true temperature
of fusion should therefore be somewhat
less than the number thus obtained
The latent heat of fusion of piatinutn is

I-alr Help In the Garden.
Now that the world lias begun to look
about in quest of employments for
ladies, it is astonishing how few occu
pations there are which are not said to
be fitted for the feminine capacity. The
latest suggestion comes from Miss
Frances Power Cobbe, whoa short time
since urged in the pages of the Women's
Gazette that women, with their natural
taste and love of fl wers, wruld be ad
mirably qualified to become gardeners.
A weekly contemporary took up the
idea, and had a little to say about it,
and this week we observe that the pro
fessional journals are giving quotations
and comments on a second paper, by
Miss Cobbe. It seems probable, there
fore, that the lady gardener will short
ly make her appearance to take in hand
out door matters, while the lady help is
busy within. Some prejudices would
have to be overcome, Miss Cobbe thinks
on the part of the lady-gardener, and
some people may conceive it just pos
sible that there may also be a little pre
j ml ice to be encountered elsewhere. It
may be very true that "the owners of
handsome gardens in search of head
gardeners would learn to seek eager!;
for a woman who would layout their
walks and beds and group their flowers
with the taste aud originality of a ladv
instead of the common professional
style of a regular head gardener." But
what will Mrs. Grundy say? Lady
helps to aid the mistress may be all very
well, but lady helps with taste and
originality, eagerly soug.it to aid the
master in growing his roses and tulips
amid the winding walks and shady
bowers of a handsome garden, would,
perhaps, develop a prejudice besides that
which the lady gardeners themselves
would have to overcome. It is true that
words quoted approvingly by Miss
Cobbe stipulate that the "gardeness"
shall be "say at the age of thirty-five or
foryt-five," but then she is also to be
the daughter of a clergyman or country
doctor or squire, with a small fixed in
come, who has been brought up in the
country In the enjoyment and care of a
garden just the young lady who, as
everybody knows, never grows old
after about eight and twenty. Miss
Cohbe had better reconsider tiie matter
before she does serious mischief. Lon-

How to Cook and Skrvk tbb Cavvas
BaCX. Upon the table, the canvas-back
makes a royal dish, though few can dis
tinguish between it and the red-head
when both are in season. O.ily those
very familiar with the birds can tell
which la which when alive, aud, when
served, it becomes almost an impos
sibility. The celery fltvor is more
marked in the canvas back in the best
of the season. It is seldom served pre
cisely as it should be anywhere out of
Maryland. If allowed to remain in the
oven live minutes too long, it is until
far the table. A great deal also depends
upon the carving. A good quick oven
will cook a full-sized duck iu twenty
two minutes. It should never remain
in over twenty-five. After a duck is
picked and drawn, it should be simply
wiped dry. Water should never touch
it. and it should be fairly seasoned be
fore going to the fire. When done, the
birds should be placed in pairs in hot,
dry dishes. There is no need to prepare
a gravy; immediately they are cut,
they will filll the dish with the richest
gravy that ever was tasted. Oiie canvas
back to each "cover" is considered a
fair allowance at a Maryland table, but
when the bird is only an incident of the
diunee or supper, of course half a bird
is sufficient for each person. Slicing
he bird is unheard of. The two-pronged
fork is inserted diagonally astride the
breast-bone, and the knile lays hall ol
the bird on each side, leaving the "car
cass" on the fork between. The ti tangle
of meat an inch thick comprised between
the leg and the wing, with its apex at
the back and its base at the breast, is
considered the most delicious morsel ol

are to be broiled. Meantime they should

An Indian Legend.
Here is a specimen of Indian romance :
Long before the toot of the white man
had trod the valleys west of the Ape
lache, or Blue mountains, there was a
noble young chief, Chowonk Btijun
which signifies "diving frog,' a sur
name acquired from his habit of diving
under the water when pursued by ene
mies. He loved Onaluska, heiress of
the Shenanagins, a rich and powerful
tribe dwelling on the Blue Water, as
New river was called in the Indian
tongue. Addressing the object of his
affection the poetic vein, natural to the
stately Aborigine, he said : Chowonk
Bujunk is a great chief ; he can out-swim
the bull-frog, and his war-whoop is
like the voice of the long-eared horse
with which the pale face pulls his
agricultural Implements. But Cho
wonk has neither fields of maize nor
wigwams full of skins- Can the
daughter of the Shenanngins love
Chowonk Bujun for love alone?"
"Alas!" said the maiden, "the
shadow of Chowonk is dearer to the
eye of Onaluska than the being Itself of
any other mar, but their I a proverb
in my tribe which says 'Love won't
make the pot boll.'"
Pot boil ?" exclaimed the maddened
youth, staggering back; "false Ona
luska! farewell forever."
' Dont," exclaimed the frightened
maiden, as her lover rushed to the
verge of the precipice; for they were
on the cliff, afterward called Lover's
Leap.
The father of Onaluska was sampling
the great medicine fountain, and had
drained his tenth gourd of the water,
when a piercing shriek resounded
through the woods. To cast the gourd
down and rush up the mountain side
was but the work of a moment;
there leaning over the giddy cliff, was
bis daughter, but no Chowonk Bujun.
' Cruel parent, this is your work,"
said the daughter pointing below, where
a quivering mass of distorted Indian
corpse marked the last of pocr Chowonk.
u But I will show the work of an Indian
maiden." Saying which, she extended
ber arms In the air, cast one long look
down the awful abyss, and before the
father could prevent, had turned and
walked off la the other direction.

His Title at Cocrt. R jbert neller,
In one of his recent bewildering per
formances, alluded to the "darkity and
blackitv" of certain proceedings of the
' Ring" men of this city, it reminds
ns of the general turpitude that prevails
in some of the frontier towns of Texas,
and the hilirious character of the local
jailer thereabouts let us say at Antonio,
whence comes the following sketch :
Not long since a young man with
blonde hair, a freckled nose, and other
marks nf personal attractiveness applied
to the Deputy Sheriff for a pass to see
his father, who he had reason to sup
pose was an inmate of the counry jail.
"What's your name?" asked the offi
cer, turning to his register.
'I'm Jim M'Snifter, from the Arroyo,
Colorado."
"What peculiar kind of playfulness
has your feyther been amusin' himself
at murder in the first degree?"
"Wusser than that," was the M'Snif
terian response.
All levity vanished from the face of
the olUcer, who was really a kind
hearted man, and there was human
sympathy, and, perhaps, i tear in his
eye, as he turned over a page, and said,
in a low voice.
"Wo.se than murder? My God! he
must have stole a pony !"
"It was some misunderstanding about
a niewel," observed M'snifter, Jr.,
punishing his cowhide boots with hi
'quirt.
"There are none of the McSnlftera in
jail. Maybe I've got a capias lor you."
"I bleeve in the last indictment the
old man's name was spelt Bob White.
The title of the suit is the State agiu
White."
"Why didn't you say so at once? You
mean this is his title at court. Why,
certainly ! Just you come along and
I'll present you to his royal Majesty.
He is in the ground cell. Just come
along. I wa.it to see if the old rooster
hasn't been trying to saw his hobbles

An Irishman and a Scotchman began
to banter each other about sculling, and
at once made a match, which came off
on the Clyde. When ihe time arrived,
each man was at the post, and when
the pistol fired both made a steady start.
Before they had gone far, the Scotch
man put a couple of boat-lengths
between him and his opponent. Seeing
he was going to have an easy victory,
he rested upon his sculls and allowed
his adversary to pass him. As soon as
Pat got ahead a short distance, he
shouted, "Youph, come on, now!"
Scotty put on a spurt, and gained the
winning-post first by about a dozen
boat-lengths. As soon as they landed,
Sandy went up to Pat and said, "Weel,
mon, what think ye o' yer scullin'
noor" "Hould yer tongue," said Pat;
'if 1 had stopped and tuck breath the
way you did, bedad 1 would 'ave licked
you twice the length you licked me!"

went down, and the barrel rolled away,
while the two men were so tangled up
that they could notextricate themselves.
Nine men reached the spot simultane
ously and eight of them rushed to see if
the barrel was injured, while the ninth
halted midway between the barrel and
the struggling victims and called out:
"Is that whisky iu the barrel?" "No;
It's vinegar," answered one of the pair.
"Tis, eh? Well, I suppose we'll have
to lilt that cart up," sighed the ninth,
as he walked around it.

Transient Trouble.
Most of us have had trouble all of our
lives, and each day has brought all the
evil that we wished to endure. But it
we were asked to recount the sorrows ol
our lives, how many could we remem
ber? How many that are six months
old should we think worthy to be re
membered or mentioned? To-day's
troubles look large, but a week hence
they will be forgotten and buried out of
sight.
"If you would keep a book, and every
day put down the things that worry
you, and see what becomes of them, it
would be a benefit to you. You allow
a thing to annoy you, jnst as you allow
a fly to settle on you and plague you;
and you loose your temper (or rather
get it; far when men are surcharged
with temper they are said to have lost
it) and you justify yourself for being
thrown oil your balance by causes which
you do not trace out. But if you would
see what was that threw you off -your
balance before breakfast, and put down
in a little book, and follow it out, and
ascertain what becomes of it, you would
see what a fool you were in the matter."
The art of forgetting is a blessed art,
but the art of overlooking is quit as im
portant. And if we should take time to
write down the origin, progress, and
outcome of a few of our troubles, It
would make us so ashamed of the fuss
we make over them, that we should be
glad to drop such things and bury them
at once in eternal forgetfulness.
Life is too short to be worn out in
petty worries, fretting, hatreds, and
vexations. Let us banish all these, and
think of whatsoever things are pure,
and lovely, and gentle, arid of good

cannot be exhibited in prose, viz.
exact metre and complete rhyme,
are frequently absent (the latter espeel
ally) from the finest verse; the more
fundamental qualities of " assonance
and rhythmical cadence, as wtl! as the
orderly disposition and variety, both of
sounds and ideas, belong equally to
verse and prose. ' Diversity in unifor
mity" is the leading feature of the
music of both. In verse it is systema
tized, in prose it is unsystematized
It fs worthy of remark that the versifi
cation of the greatest poets is generally
removed as far as possi ble from mere me
chanical exactness. The best verse is, in
fact, that which is roost nearly assimilat
ed to eloquent prose. The same thing is
observable in recitation. It is only the
school-boy or the bungler who gives
verses with a "sing-song" uniformity
of cadence. Thus again it is urged as
one of the merits of the " canto-fermo,
or Gregorian music, that it is less
bound than the " canto-flgurato," or
ordinary modern music, to an unvary
ing rhythm. This, so far from being a
defect, is the very source of its freedom
and life. A due appreciation of these
facts will make us more ready to recog
nize poetry, however it may be expres
sed, and to distinguish commonplace,
even when it comes to us clothed in the
gorgeous raiment of high-sounding
versification. Only true poetry is en
titled to such vesture, and whatever
else appears in its garb is no better than
an impostor. On the other hand tl mil
es of the noblest poetry often gleam
amid the pages of so-called prose-writers,
and it is well to know them for
what they really are, and not to esti
mate them on other principles than we
apply to modes of thought with which
they are in fact Identical. In a word,
we must not let a supposed difference
of form blind us to au essential simi
larity of substance. It is, of course,
important not to confuse truly musical
diction with mere fustian and bombast.
It Is obvious, too, that fundamentally
prosaic ideas have no more right to be
expressed by aid of the music of prose
than by the aid of verse. The language
should correspond with the thought
and it is of the greatest moment to avoid
being led away by specious phraseology
and elegant turns of expression to the
acceptance of fboli-h ideas or acquies.
cence In ignorant conclusions. A
gaudy style often disguises vague
notions and shallow reasoning. Such a
style bears to the music of prose in Its
right employment the same relation
which paste bears to a diamond. Its
sparkling may deceive us for a moment.
but contact with hard fact will quickly
show Its glitter to be due to nothing but
the cheap surface polish of an essential
ly worthless substance.
Duck-Shooting In Maryland.
There are various ways of shooting
the ducks of the Chesapeike and its
broad affluent, the Susquehanna.
Gentlcmeu for the most part shoot from
"blinds" and use decoys; while market
gunners use the "sink-boat" or the
"night reflector." "Blinds" are any
airt of artificial concealment placed at
an advantageous point upon the shore,
They generally consist of a seat in a
sort of box or shelter some four feet
deep, and capable of containing three
or four persons and a couple of dogs.
They are thoroughly covered up with
pine branches and young pine-trees, and
communicate with the shore by a path
similarly sheltered. The water in front
is comparatively shallow, and, if it con
tain beds of wild celery on the bottom.
is sure to be a feeding ground for the
ducks. About thirty yards, from the
"blind" are anchored a fleet of perhaps
a hundred and fifty decoys. There are
wooden ducks roughly carved and
painted, but devised with a strict re
gard for variety and sex. At little
distance they are calculated to deceive
any eye, and they certainly have a great
deal of weight in determining the ac
tion of a passing flock or "bunch," ol
ducks. The sink-boat is in reality a
floating blind. It is nothing more than
an anchored box or coffin with hinged
Haps to keep the water from invading
it. Tlje gunner lies on his back in it,
completely out of sight, and around it
are placed the decoys. It is extremely
tiresome work, but very destructive to
the birds. They float down to the stream
when shot and are picked up from a
boat stationed below. It is a w holesale
murdering sort of thing and has little
"sport" about it. The "night reflector"
is quite as bad. It consists of a large
reflector behind a common naphtha
lamp and mounted upon the bow of a
boat. The latter is rowed out into the
stream where the ducks are "bedded"
tor the night, and the birds, fascinated
by the light, swim to it from every side
and bob against the boat In helpless
confusion. The number of birds
secured depends only on the caliber of
the gun. From twenty to thirty ducks
to each shot fired is a common experi
ence. The hunter who uses one of
these reflectors may succeed in getting
into a half a dozen "beds" in a night
Another thing he sometimes succeeds
in is getting a charge of shot in his
body from some indignant sportsman
n shore. If a rifle is handy and any
one chances to be up and about at the
hour, no hesitation is felt at having a
crack at the "pot hunter's" nefarious
light. Srribner. .
Speed of Glacier.
A striking confirmation has been af
forded of the correctness of the esti
mate that glaciers move from sixteen to
eighteen inches a day in summer, and
less than half that distance in winter.
In 1820 a Russian physician, Dr. Hamel,
attempted the ascent of Mont Blanc,
when three of his guides were swept
away by an avalanche, and never more
heard of. Some years later Professor
Forbes made some observations on the
glacier toward which these guides were
drifted by the avalanche, and from the
rate of the glacier's movement he was
led to predict that within forty-five
years from the time of the accident some
remains of the unfortunate guides
would be reaching the terminus of the
glacier in the immediate neighborhood
ofChamouni. This came to pass. In
the summer of 1S61 human remains
were found there which were identified
as those of Dr Hamei's party.

Ambassador.
It may be doubted whether ambassa
dors among the Greeks aud Kinns
commanded the confidence of their
countrymen to the same amount they
enjoyed the respect of foreigners.
Embassies appear to have been formed
of numerous members. Demo-thenes
when he was sent to treat with Philip
of Macedon, had several cil leagues.
Mention is made in history of erabssies
entertained in Athens at the public ex
pense as composed of members more oi
less numerous. Livy and Cicero use
the plural number in making mention
of legates, whether received or sent out
by Rome. When the Jews sent an
embassy to Augustus Caesar, it was
composed of at least more than one
legate. Virgil describes -Eneas as
sending 106 envoys (effnfan orattre) in
one company to some neighboring
court of Italy. As each of them carried
a branch of olive in his hand, their
appearance in a body must have been
that of a shrubbery, not much Inferior
to the moving wood in Shakespeare's
"Macbeth." We must presume that
the charge undertaken in common was
explained by only one of the orators at
a time. Had It been otherwise the roar
of the Pope's hundred oxen might well
have been preferred by the royal lis
tener. According to modern usage the
lowest rank of diplomatic agency is as
much protected as the first. Besides
their difference in point of dignity and
display, an important privilege is still,
as for some time back, attached to the
title of Ambassador, and attached to it
exclusively. I mean the personal
representation of his sovereign. An
agent so qualified Is understood in
monarchiai States to be on equal terms
with the King or Emperor to whom he
la accredited, and therefore at liberty
to appeal by word of mouth from the
administration of a country to their
master. An envoy is presented to the
sovereign, but the transaction ot
diplomatic business lies between him
and the Minister alone. A Charge
d'Affuires has no recognized claim to
approach the throne except by favor.
These distinctions are at present kept
practically in view less than formerly
and those who write in the public
journals appear in general to ignore
them altogether, but it remains to he
shown thai they havenotbeen at any time
submitted by competent authority to a
new form of regulation. There is a
tone of grandeur in its sound which
makes the term " ambassador" a natur
al object of curiosity as to its origin and
derivation. If the Spaniards had claim
ed it as of their invention, the likelihood
would have been greatly on their side.
Grandiloquence is one of their national
attributes, and their substitution of an
x, pronounced gutturally, for the
double , in the French and English
forms of the word, augments its effect
on the ear. Bjt this conj ecture is not
borne out by the opinion of inquirers.
The languages of Greece and Rome have
been rummaged in vain for some root
from which the title may have sprung.
The lexicographers have been reduced
to the necessity of making guesses
which do more honor to their ingenuity
than to their judgment. Bnt to pursue
the inquiry further would be a mere
waste of time. It is enough to know
that we have the word, and are not
ignorant of its meaning, The time and
place of its adoption, and whether it
preceded or followed that of its correl
ative, "embassy," are questions which
may be left without reproach to the
hunters of literary butterflies. Xine-
trenth Century.
A Florida lleanty.
I remember one evening in Angus'
gazing listlessly shoreward at the little
Spanish villas scattered along the beach
while the cool influences of a Florida
breeze, laden with the scent of a large
orange grove on shore, exerted itself in
behalf of Morpheus. Thus occupied, I
was not made aware of any one's ap
proach until, catching the sound of a
paddle gently applied, I turned just in
time to see the sharp bow of a little
prow glide alongside my boat, and with
ihe grace of Venus a black-eyed little
beauty gathered the painter of her prow
in her hand and sprang lightly into the
bow of my cork-like craft, which scarce
ly felt the intrusion, so dex .rously was
it accomplished.
I quickly saw from the basket she
held in her hand that she was a "shell
girl" of the Spanish race, many of whom
realize a handsome little income from
their shells, which they gather in great
quantities and sell them to strangers in
the city. Slipping toward me with an
easy grace, she deposited her basket on
the seat beside me, and, kneeling in
the bottom of the boat, proceeded so
skillfully select her prettiest specimens
which was quickly accomplished, and
which were soon before my eyes, held
in a pal hi which I was silently admiring
and trying to decide which were the
pinkest, the shells or her hand.
Of medium size and graceful as Hebe
black, glossy hair and big lustrous eyes
a complexion of a dark, creamy brown,
and head as finely poised as that of the
most aristocratic ball room belle. Over
her shoulders was thrown a light,
gauzy mantilla, and a skirt of some
light material reached nearly to her
ankles, which excelled any I have tver
before seen in shapely turn and mould.
Ihe feet were bare, the cause of which
I assigned to the inability of her shoe.
