footing with the other midshipmen. Un-
der Admiral Rodney, he was in the fleet
which, in 1779. captured the whole Of a
Spanish convoy. Eight days after he was
in a serious fight with the Spanish feet,

agra. The reside ofhis time as midship-
man the prince served in the West Indies
and off tho coasts Of Nova Scotia and
Canada. On the North American station

was one Of the most captivating women of
her time, and the King was very much
attached to her. She was of the theatre.
By her he had several children. In 1910,
they parted, which gave Mrs. Jordan
the greatest pain. His pecuniary embar-
ressmcn,s, she says, were the cause of the
parting. In 1917, he was married 10 the
now Dowager Queen Adelaide. As Duke
of Clarence, he advocated Catholic cman.
cipation in the House of Lords, and made
speech in its behalf

&C. Case in which great number Of
Larre mere Hatched in the Body ofa Man..
M. JULES CLooUET, has recently com.
muncated to the Philomathic Society the
following curious case. " Arag. .gathcrer,
in state of complete drunkenness, and
not knowing where he bent his steps, laid
himself down in a field near several dead
horses. a., slept there for twcnty-four
hours. On awaking he felt as if he was
swelled odt, and experienced a pain which
he did not usually feel, under similar cir
cumstances. returned home, but shortly a
number of swcllings like blisters rose on
his head, and worms crawled out of his
nose and ears, aud other natural openings
of the body. Alarmed at this phenomen.
on, he repaired to the Hospital St. Louis
The swellings on his head were then
opened, and a prodigious quantity OF
worms crawled from them his skin pro.
duced them every instant; and a nurse
placed to collect them as they appeared,
gathered as many as three plates full OF
them. Several means were tried on the
rag-gatherer to destroy these worms, such
as lotions and baths of sulphureous vapour,
but fruitlessly. Mr. Cloquet then propos.
ed friction with mcrcurial ointment, and
by this treatment he was perfectly cured.
But the unfortunate man has lost both his
his eyes, which have been destroyed by
these worms, which are exactly like the
vulgarly known by the name of osttcats
coniectured, that the flies which were upon
the dead horses, laid their eggs during the
mans sleep in the pores of his skin, and
the natural openings Of his body, and thai
the warmth hatched the eggs which pro-
duced the enormous quantity OF worms
that have been gathered from his body
The rag. .gatherer is now in good health
and, although blind, as gay as ever,
promising himself to get as jolly as here
tofore, but not again 70 sleep in the fields. y

q am clear in we'll digested opinion,
tha, So far as the poor man is concerned
he will reap no benefit, but he will suffer
injury from enlarging our specie circula.
laiion by suffering Banks to issue no notes
under twenty dollars. Specie in all sums
under twenty dollars will clog the lower
circuiation-fewer exchanges will be made
--no sum under twenty dollars will be
transmissible by mail, and the small deal
ers will he much embarrassed.-Thc CRU
lation of knowledge will be greatly impc-
ded. Newspapers periodicals and pan,ph-
lets, will have no medium in which they
can be paid in places distant from the
place Of their production and many other
Inconvenience will be felt from the cum
bersome nature of specie. But again, say
the radicals, Bank notes are rags. Well
and what is specie? Do not bank notes
euen mow, purchase pecie? 1tlrequires
to be sure, some few per cent. more than
the amount they bear on their face to pur-
chase ii. And wha: is the reason! Not
that bank notes are not the representative
of the property and industry of the coun,
try, but because specie is an article OF
commerce. Why are the treasury drafts
upon the pet banks nearly as valuable as
specie ? Clearly because our own govern,
men,, like our foreign creditors demand
specie in payment"

The trial Of Major GATES has BEEN
published in phamphlet form in New York.
From an examination of the testimony
offered before the court there does not
appear to be the slightest cause to crlml-
nate the Major, bur, on the contrary, he
deserves great credit for his prudence IN
not suffering himself to be drawn out from
his defences and caught in an ambuscadc,
as was the evident desi ign of the Indians.
Major Gates was left (con,raryt his wish
es for active employment in the. feld) in
charge of an important depot of stores at
Volusia. on which the left wing of the ar
nv solely replied for supplies, and mum.
bcr of invaldS, with instructions to defend
and preserve the depot at all hazards. If
he had made sortie with his available
force (variously estimated at from 80 to
13O men, only three OF whom were regular
soldiers.) the chances are that the Indians
would have rushed into his stackade from
an opposite direction, mur dered and seal
ped the invalids, and destroyed the stores.
What in such contingency would have
been the Majors feelings, and what the
sullerings on tie left wing, on its return,
to find its supplies cut off, and no succor
within one hundred miles? 1t was proved
by the tcstimoney, that Picolata and Tam
pa Bay were the nearest points at which
provisions could have been procured that
the former was one hundred miles, and the
latter six days march, from Volusia.
After enduring more than year OF ans-
ious suspense, the friends of this wolthy
and accomplished officer will be glad to
learn that justice has at last been meted to
him and they will be moreover rcjoiced
to perceive that he has been promoted to
the lieutenant colonelcy of the 4th regiment
of artillery Army and Nary Chronicle.

Prevention Of Stcamtoat boilers from
Erplosion.--Dr. VI htchead, professor Of
chemistry, and formerly of Oxford Univcr-
sty, writes TO the editors of,hc National
Intelligenccr, that it is ii mistaken notion
that the upper part oi, the boiler does 10.
dccompose the water, and thus produce
hydrogen gas, as well as the lower exposed
dircc ly TO the heat. Nor is Tie satc,y
valve of any use, or i'll any way afflicted
by that gas. He thus concludes:
"The remedy against explosion is hap.
PLY us simple and is easy as the disease
has hithrto proved fatal and frequent; and
il is. to coat over the whole interior Of cv-
crv iron steam boiler with copper or any
other suitable met.e or alloy, which will
preycn. the discngagemcnt Of hydrogen gas
by the decomposition Of steam or water,
those meals not having the same high de-
gree Of attraction for the oxygen OF the
water as to produce its decomposition, and
the consequent production Of hydrogen.
"The above theory receives strong con-
firmaton from the consideration Of very
remarkable fact, namely, that on the waters
OF the sea board, where the boilers are en-
,rly Of copper, explosions are seldom
known to happen, or when they 60, may be
traced TO cuipabic negligence; whereas on
our interior waters. which arc fresh, the
boilers are constantly exploding, without
any apparent cause. The mystery, low.
ever, will cease when wc ycco!icct, thai
they are all made Of iron."

of fDeccmber 1885. the import of East India
cotton into the kingdom. was lIl,l4G,
whist up to the l7th of December 1886,
no less than 222,555, bags were imported;
the increase, therefore, is very nearly al the
rate of hundred per cent. during the last
twcl-e months. Should this increase be
permanent, and should the future Increase
be in any proportion to that Of last year,
the cotton trade with the East Indies will,
in the course of 4 dozen years, be one Of the
most valuable branches Of trade in the
the empire, TO the shipowner. the mer-
chant, the manufacturer, and to the people
both of India and the British Islands. TO
the British ship owners this trade will be
particularly valuable, bo;h from tie length

manufacture cheaper, and Of course, by
cteapeuing the fabrics made from it. Up
TO the present time, the cotton OF the L Isl
Indies is considerably inferior to the COT.
ton Of the United States in quality and
condition, owing to the Inicrori'y Of the
seed, the culture, and the mode Of prepar.
ing it, but since Europcons have been al.
lowed to hold and cultivate land in Iadia,
we may reasonably expect as great IN
improvement in the cotton of Inda rs in
the indigo, which. from being almost un.
salcable, has almost superseded that o! all
other countries. We believe that the pub
lie have as yet very inadequate idea Of
the value and extent Of the trade which
the abolition Of the East India monopoly
will open to the enterprise Of this country.
