Getting Insured,

The Boston Post relates good un' of Ja-
cob Baker, the old Quaker,who, hearing of the
loss of one of his vessels which he had omitted
to get insured, wrote to broker with whom
be had spoken on the subject, as follows:
Dear Friend: If thee has not filed up tlIe
policy which l spoke of on Saturday,:hee need
not, as have heard from the vessel
The broker, in fact, had not filed up the
policy, but presuming from the tenor of Ja-
cobs note, that his vessel was safe, and tempt
ed by what seemed good chance to get his
per centage without risk, he filed it up forth
with, and sent it TO Jacob, with the assurance
that it had been made already for him on Sat
urday. On Monday morning, the first thing
that met his eyes on opening the newspaper,
was the loss of Jacobs vessel, which he lad
50 wickedly insured on Sunday. Then, also, he
discovered the cunning ambiguity of Jacobs
note-I have heard from the vessel.

CASE OF Yesterday morn
ing an anonymous letter was received at the
Mechanics and Traders Bank of this city, con-
tanning the sum of $3.50. The writer, who is
evidently Frenchman, states that seven
years ago he presented check to the bank
forftty dollars, and received by mistake five
hundred; and that, being desirous Of giving
unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar, he takes
this opportunity of restoring to the bank the
amount of which it had been unjustly deprtv-
ed. The conscience of the writer doubtless
left him no peace until he had made the res
titution. NO. Bee, 25th ult.

Absence of Mind.
'NA
HENRY M. PANE.

Neander, the celebrated divine and scholar,
is Prussian of Jewish descent He has been
known to give away his coat to some coat
less medicant, while on his way to an evening
party, and shortly after to make his appearance
there in brown study, and quite unconscious
of his dishabile. Neandsr's careful sister had
taken away his old unmentionables from his
chair one night after he had retired to bed
and placed new pair on the table close by.
When he arose eaily in the morning to go to
to his seven O'Clock lecture, he either did not
see them or supposed them to belong to
somebody else; certain it is, that he made his
appearance at the lecture, room in his long
frock coat and high topped boots, and other
wise perfectly dressed, if we expect the gar
ment usually considered indispensable. The
lecture went off very well until an anxious
servant girl entered the room, and gliding up
to Neander, plucked him by the rocking away
another pull and his equilibrium was in dan
ger He turned round to her and for once
the students saw his beaming eyes wide open
in the depths of the cavities were hidden
his heavy black eye brows drawn up in
astonishment She whispered few words
into his ear. "Woman he answered with dig
nifty, "this is not place totalk of pantaloons
but of scientific theology" and resuming
his old position, he went on with his lecture
as ifnothing had happened.

school Character.


Every sehool-boy has character. Let US
go among group of them, and all doubts will
vanish. There are selfish Harry, lying Tom,
slovenly Peter, gluttonous Jim, sly Charley,
cowardly Dick, and fighting Jack; as well as
generous George, truthful Joseph, and honest
Bob. Ask for evidence that these descriptions
are truly applied, and we shall find the same
rules of judging are adopted here that are
adopted among grown men. There is com
manding public sentiment in every play
ground, and the same right principles that Sc
cure for a grown man, and great man, the
respect and confidence of,his fellow Citizen,
will-other things being equal-secure for a
boy the love and confidence of other boys. A
long face may be put on--a fawning or hypo-
critical boy may play game with an easy and
credulous teacher, and for while retain a
false place in his estimation. But theveil is
to thin. The true character comes out
broadly in the play ground or on the ice, and
the boy that deserves to be loved is loved.
AS it is among schoolboys, SO it is all the
world over. An honest and virtuous man
my sometimes be unjustly suspected, and the
breath of the slsnderer may tarnish for mo-
moment an innocent reputation; but the right
side comes up sooner or later, and truth
triumphs.

Paine the Gas Man Aeain.

This gentleman, who created considerable
excitement short time since, and then retir-
ed. has turned up again, and in letter to the
Scientific American he says he has succeeded
entirely in keeping the secret of his discovery,
while no one has asserted claims adverse to
his priority of discovery. He has thus been
enabled to prosecute his sesearehes into cleo
tricity, and announces another new discovery
as follows:
'I now, with the same vieWs and feelings
that made the first announcement, have the
pleasure of stating that | have succeeded in
making certain bodies repellent or rePulsive
to water, when emmersed in it. For instance
the whole surface of vessels bottom and
sides, (of peculiar form) from stern post to
the broadest cross-section, has, by peculiar
electrical state, repulsive action upon the
fluid, which buoys it up and consequently the
vessel has an onward motion so long as this
electrical action continues. This electrical ac-
ton is furnished and continued by magnetic
electricity and if the vessels course is in cir
Gle, her motion will be perpetual
He closes with this assurance:
a am aware that have opened fine field
for learned bodies to practice scientific gam
bols in, and have not yet forgotten the insult
and abuse which the first announcement
brought down upon my bead yet, neverthe-
less, shall beep my secret till l accomplish
one more undertaking, though the cry of "hum-
bug" follow me to the mad house.

safeguards for steamboats.

An exchange says that the many disaster
which occur in steamboat navigation have
awakened much attention to the subject of
providing proper safeguards for life on such oc-
currence. A writer in the National Intelli-
gence suggests that each vessel be provided
with pieces of dry pine scantling, six inches
square, and six feet long, having four inch
hole bored through the middle, and carefully
stopped at each end. This piece of timber
will weigh about forty four pounds, and dis
place two cubic feet, or one hundred and
twenty-four pounds of water, making a differ
ence of eighty pounds, and which will be the
load required to sink it. If the human head
averages ten pounds in weight, this float will
support eight adults with their heads out of
water. For convenience of holding on, there
should be small cord fastenened at the ends,
along two sides of the float, and on riders,
promiscuously thrown overheard, several of
the where the stream would carry them
away. 1t should be attached by cords, and
a line to connect with boat or an anchor, or
to the steamer; 90 of these floats would fill
but forty cubic feet, and admit of compact
stowage. They might also be used for seats,
&c. for the deck passengers, with no small
improvement of their comfort. These might
save, if each was fully loaded, one hundred
and sixty lives, But making allowances for
everything, twenty floats might be estimated to
save one hundred persons from drowning.

topic with sporting men" for the week past,
took place on the 3oth nit The race was
$500, ,one mile. The contestants were, Hill,a boy
of only eighteen years d,of Tonwanda, and a
Canadian Indian, of Montreal, celebrated
runner The Canadian Indian was exceeding
ly well made, with a strength oflimb and COM
pactness of frame rarely seen; while Hill was
quite the contrary, wanting that filling up
which age will give him. At the word they
went off very even. at race-horse speed,
Hill outfooted the Canadian handsomely. He
made the first quarter in 55 secouds-con-
tinued to lead to the half, in2 minutes Is Sc
conds. Just after passing the third quarter,
he was taken with cramping in the side, and
stopped, having to be helped in. The Cana
dian then passed and made the mile in the un-
precedented time of 4 minutes 33 seconds
Had Hill held out for the mile, even faster
time would have been made.
