A Curious Scene at Cape May.

A correspondent of the N, Y. Journal of
Commerce, writing from this fashionable
resort, describes the following lively scene
as having occurred in the waters which lash
the shores -
"Look out yonder at that surf. Is not
that glorious? See those swimmers. Will
you believe that the lady whom you saw but
an hour ago, shaking gaiy her luxurlant
curls from her face, and listening to mawk-
ish sentimentality IN the drawing room, Joe
said then that he saw sheer of contempt I'D
her joyous eye,) is the same bold swimmer
that is dashing away the foam caps of the
waves outside the surf Come, go down
with me, and I'll introduce you to her
What out there 2 did you exclaim ?
Certainly out there. introduced Joe to
her this morning in the same place. He
was remarking on the fine picking for sharks,
out of fifteen hundred bathers then in the
surf; and seeing one lady and gentleman
outside of all the others, proposed to him
to swim out and be ready to aid her in case
of accident No sooner said than done. |
had no fear of sharks, for ! never heard of
one attacking any one on our shores ; nor
do believe the blue shark will touch man,
so long as he can get fish to eat. But al
ways fear for lady who Is far from shore,
lest her strength should fail her. Ii requires
very great degree of GOODNESS to swim in
heavy sea. Imagine my surprise on SWIM
ming past the lady and gentleman ! have
mentioned, on finding that 1t was none other
than my friend Mr.. -, and his daugh-
ter, Miss --, with whom have swan
many an hour in rougher water than that ::
lady perhaps unequalled as a swimmer in
this country, (and while | am about it, may
as well add, that you are the greatest horse
woman, too, my dear --.O
"Hurrah p exclaimed clear ringing
of meeting you here' Eve met you, be-
lieve, at every place imaginable, from Nj
agara to the American Museum but the
idea of meeting you outside the surf at Cape
May, is unexampled? Father, father, here's

"Where;" said Mr.. -, putting. and
for the first time aware of my presence
g Pm glad to see you, W; I'd give you
hand if had one to spare"
Here's one for both of us them" said
the lady, q much more expert swimmer than
her father; at the same time reclining grace
fully on one side, and offering me her left
hand, as she swan with her right. took
this opportunity to introduce Joe, and il was
done in the most approved style of drawing
room introductions. My dear Miss -,
allow me to present to your kind notice.

paused an instantly" my friend and ally,
Mr.. Willis, of whom you have heard me
speak" " Ii gives me great pleasure TO
meet Mr.. Willis, whom | have long known

Just above the edge of the water g the

The Prophecy Of Napoleon relative to
the political destiny Of Europe has often
been referred TO of late. The following
is lh" entire passage, extracted from Las
Casas. The language was used in 1921:
"ln less than fifty years from the pres
ent time, the whole European system
will be changed. THE French will cast
the Bourbons and their debts off, as my
Arabian steed would any stranger who
would dare to mount him. Then, If my
son be in existence, he will be seated on
the throne amid the acclamaton of the
people: If he be not, France will 90
back to a Republic, for no other hand
will dare to seize a sceptre which it cam
not WELD. The Orleans branch, though
amiable, are too much like other Bor-
bons, and will share the same fate, if
they do not choose TO live as simple citl-
zens under whatever changes take place
- France once more Republic, other
countries will follow her example: Ger
mans, Prussians, Poles, Italians, Danes,
Swedes, and Russians, wiliall join in the
crusade for liberty"

| THE GENTLEMAN.-T The following is ain
extract from Bishop DoANE's Address at
Burlington College:
"When you have foHnd man; YOU
have not far to 90 to find gentleman.
You cannot make a gold ring out OF
brass. You cannot make gentleman,
till YOU have first a man. TO be gem
tleman, it will not be sufficient to have a
grandfather.
TO be gentleman does not depend
aron the tailor, or the toilet. Blood will
degenerate. Good clothes are sla( geoG
hahits.-The Prince Lee Boo concluded
that the hog, in England, was the only
gentleman, being the only thing that
did not labor.
A gentleman is just a gcnt,-m an no
more, no less: diamond polished, that
was first diamond in the rough A
gentleman is gentle. A gentleman is
modest, A gentleman is courteous. A
gentleman is generous. A gentleman is
slow to take offence, as being one that
never gives it. 4 gentleman is slow to
surmise evil, as being one that never
thinks it. A gentleman goes armed on
ly in consciousness of right. A gentle
man subjects his appetites. A gentleman
refnes his tastes "A gentleman subducs
his feelings. A gentleman controls has
speech A gentleman deems every 9TH
err better than himself. Sir Philip Sid
ney was never so much a gent leman--
mirror though he was, of England's
knighthood-as when upon tn" field Of
Zutphen, as he lay in his own blood, he
waved the drought Of cold spring water,
that was brought to quench his mortal
thirst, in favor of dying soldier, ST.
Paul described gentleman, when he cx-
horted the Philippian Christians, "lNhat-
soever things are true, whatsoever things
are honest, whatsoever things are pure.
whatsoever things are lovely, whatso-
ever things are of good report, If there
be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things" And DR.. Isaac
Barrow, in his admirable Sermon on the
calling Of a gentleman, pointcdIy says,
che should labor and study to be leader
unto virtue and a notable promoter there
Of directing and exciting men thereto by
his exemplary conversation: encouraging
them by his countenance and authority

TRADE AND PEElLs OF 'TrE WESTERN
WATERS During the year 1871, Is
steamboats, engaged IN the St. Louis trade
were snagged 2 We're sunk BY other boats
II were totally destroyed by FIRE. The
whole number of steamboats, engaged IN
the st Louis trade exceeds three hun
dred The whole number of trips MADE
to St. Louis during the year by these
boats was three thousand two hundred
and sixty six. Thus, the number of a.
rivals from the Upper Mississippi was
seven hundred and fifty two: from Hi
nois river, six hundred and 1ttv nine:
from the Ohio river. five hundred and
seventeen; from Alton. five hundred and
fifteen; from New Orleans. four hundred
and twenty six; from TIE Missouri river,
two hundred and ninety four; from Cairo
sixty; and from the ''ccast," OF INDEFINITE
points above and below the city, forty
three, The aggregate tonnage OF these
arrivals, the tonnage OF some liatboats
included, was, according TO custom, home
measurement, SIX hundred and one thou
sand tons.
From New Orleans, the aggregate
tonnage Of the arrivals was one hundred
and sixty thousand tons
From the Ohio river the measured
tonnage Of the arrivals was thirty four
thousand tons.
From the Upper Miss, there were
a greater number OF steamboat arrivals.
The measured tonnage, from that source,
steamers, barges and Ilatboats, included,
was one hundred and twenty enc thou
sand tons This, probably. falls short OF
freight actually Transported, by at least
one fourth, which, when added, would
give the tonnage from that source, of
more than one hundred and fifty thou
sand tons From the ILLINOIS river, the
measul ed amount was rising of eighty
three thousand tons Asin tie foregoing
case, one fourth probably might be add
ed, to arrive at the real tonnage. This
would give about one hundred and four
thousand tons The tonnage from the
Missouri river reached but fifty five thou
sand tons-probahly near the actual a.
mount. Thus it Will be seen that there
were about three hundred and fifty seven
thousand tons of freight brought to St.
LOUIS from The upper streams, against
one hundred and eighty nine thousand
tons from points below and eastward.

writer in the American Review says;
The Gcncsee trail, which we have been

who sought TO descend that stream to-
wards the Southwest. O-hee-yo, the
radx of the present word Chic, signifies,
