who had to take up with the same disagreeable
alternative of an almost suffocatng cabin in
preference to being obliged to breathe the sick
ening fumes of tobacco which pervaded a part
of the boat designed for the especial accommo-
dation of ladies and gentlemen. 1t is sur
prising that the nuisance is permitted to be
carried to such an extent that persons of a
delicate organization are obliged to retire to
the cabins, however warm it may be, as the
lesser evil Of the two. One would suppose that
on boat where everything is so admirably ar
ranged and conducted in other respects there
would be some abatement of this nuisance, or
that it would be prohibited in toto on that par
ticular part of the boat, but it seems to us that
it is rather on the increase At all events, We
were never before so annoyed by it; although
we have many times been over that route, on
that same boat as we'll as on others. And il
is also strange, passing strange, that, notwith-
standing the many notices Oh the different parts
of the boat that /" gentlemen are requested moi
to smoke abaft of the shaft, yet so many, who
would feel themselves deeply insulted were
they to betreated as any thing else than
gentlemen will so far set aside all rules of good
breeding as to practice a habit in the company
Of ladies which they must very well know is
highly offensive.

Oh, yes, said the pastor, rising from the
lounge towards her /; say anything you wish
my child have no fear, and he laid his
hand kindly on her head, from which the

The bosom Of the young girl heaved and
her lips quivered with agitation.
Oh, sir, will you please come over and

Yes, Grace, l will 60 with you now, l

He took her hand and she with her full
heart beating like the surging sea, led the
way to her humble home.

he returned at late hour from the bright

PeriIOUS Adventure.

The captain of whaler, says Chcevcr,
gives the following account of an adventure
which came very near being his last. In
giving an account of the accident and sin
gular escape, he said that as soon as he
discovered that the line had caught in the
bow Of the boat, he stopped to clear it,
and attempted to throw it out from the
T" chock," so that it might run free. In
doing this he was caught by turn round
his left wrist, and felt himself dragged
overheard. He was perfectly conscious
while he was running down, down, with
unknown force and swiftness and it ap-
peared to him that his arm would be torn
from his body, so great was the resistance
of the water He was we'll aware of his
perilous condition, and that his only
chance of life was to cut the line But he
could not remove his right arm from his
side, to which it was pressed by the ele-
mcnt through which it was drawn. When
he first opened his eyes it appeared as if
a stream Of fire was passing before them !;
but as he descended it grew dark, and he
felt q terrible pressure Oh his brain, and a
roaring as of thunder in his cars. Yet
he was conscious of his situation, and he
made several efforts to reach his knife
that was in his belt. At last, as he felt
his strength failing and his brain reeling,
the line for an instant slackcned, he
reached his knife, and the instant that the
line became taut, its edge was upon it,
and by a desperate effort of his exhausted
energies he freed himself. After this he
only remembered feeling of sufocation
a gurgling spasm, and all was over, until
he awoke to an agonized sense of pain in
the boat.

The Cuba Excitement.

Every other topic of public interest has for
the time, given place to the excitement Of the
Cuba invasion, and the events connected with
it. The papers in various parts of the country
are discussing the subject pro and con. The
Southern papers generally for, and the North
ern against it. AS to the ctate of affairs il
Cuba, or tho position Of the invaders, it is
quite impossible to arrive at any thing like
truth in regard to them. One telegraph dis
patch brings a report of the "glorious victo-
ries " of Lopez and his band of .fliibusterOs
and of the g enthusiastic reception" by the
Cubans. The very next dispatch gives the in
telligence that &C the band of invaders has been
cut to pieces and Lopez taken prisoner"
There are doubtless hundreds of hair Drained
youths who will be lured by the glowing pict-
ures of fame and plumber to join their fortunes
with the bands that are organizing in different
parts of the country for the professed purpose
Of giving liberty to the oppressed inhabitants
of Cuba" These bright pictures all look very
well in the prospective if one is sufficiently
void of principle to enjoy them.
Distance lends enchantment to the vew.n
but the realization of the halter and cold lead
is rather a cooling finale to scenes depicted by
such ardent imag ginations. AS to the ultimate
destination of Cuba, that is question of time

The Nuisance Of Tobacco
S,MOlS irsg.

Never did we, till few evenings since, as
we were on board the commodious steamer C
Vanderbilt, from Stonington to New York. full
ly realize the extent to which the filthy and
disgusting habit of tobacco smoking is some
times carried. 1t being very warm and unpleas
ant in the cabins, the lady in our company pro-
posed going on deck for the purpose of enjoy
ing the pure air, which we accordingly did,
where we enjoyed delightful breeze. But,
alas for the transitory nature of human happi-
ness, we had not been there many minutes
when, although there were many ladies on the
deck, swarm of bipeds, in the garb of gentle
men, commenced promenading and putting their
cigars directly into the faces of the ladies, re-
gardless of all sense of decency They were not
content with occupying some corner on the lec-
ward side Of the boat-which would have been
much too good for them-but, forsooth, they
must scatter themselves over the whole prom
enade deck, as if with the deliberate design of
driving all but people of their own ilk there
from ; in which design they succeeded to some
extent. The lady in our company found it SO
nauseating that she was under the necessity
| of retiring; and doubtless there were others

AN UGLY CUsToMER.-On Monday last
while Mr.. Edward Worth, the keeper of
Cape Poke light, was fishing for sharks,
from the shore of that Cape, his hook was
suddenly seized by a monstrous stingora,
which strange to relate came near cap
turing Mr.. w. himself. 1t seems that
after Mr.. Worth had drawn the stignora
nearely to the shore, he turned and made
for deep water.-The line which was new
and full Of kinks, by some means got
around Mr.. W's. leg, and he was rapidly
drawn from the shore, and part of the
time completely under water. In this
dangerous prcdicament, Mr.. Worth's pres
cnce of mind did not forsake him. He
seized the line with one hand, and with
the other succeeded in clearing it
from his leg, though in accomplishing this,
the line cut entirely through the skin of
his fingers. He was nearely up to his
arm-pits in water, Notwithstanding which
he made another attempt to capture the
monster. In this he was aided by his son,
who Immediately proceeded to his assis-
tence. They dragged the hugh fish to the
shore in triumph. Mr.. w. then obtained
his horse, but could not succeed in draw
ing the stignora on to the shore. He then
cut of his tail, which was # 9 inches in
length, and from inches to foot in cir
cumferance, and brought it to town, since
which it has been visited by hundreds of
the curious. This part of the animal is
covered with horns and calculated to do
terrible execution in fight. The rascal
weighed from 500 to 1000 pounds, and
his liver, we are informed, made half a
barrel of oil.-Edgarto,on Gazette

Monday night, the schooners Harriet, Of Ston-
ington, Smith, master, Superior, Comfy, Of
Newport, and sloops Fame and Agent, of New
port, and a sloop belonging to Saybrook Conn.'
were anchored by Block Island. They got un-
der weigh, probably for the purpose of putting
to sea. The Harriet was capsized and went
ashore on the Island, and is total loss-her
crew were saved in the boat The Superior
went to peices in fifteen minutes after striking
on The Island. The Fame lost her jib and the
Agent sunk near GreenpOrt.

ABoMIN INATIoN-When will folks learn that
honesty is the best policy, and that it is not
honesty to steal an article and palm it off upon
publisher as original? We refer especially to
the poetry published in the last Echo and sign
ed &C. w." We refused to publish that peice
at first, as we thought it was copied, but were
assured it was original, and, to please friend
we published it, but were particular not to put
g for the Literary Echo" over it. friend has
since shown us copy of the very same poetry
cut from paper published in 1914. Now if
that would not have tried the patience of Job,
we don't know what would. 1t is not the first
time we have been served so, and some others
better look out.

PATENT FOR BowLEGs.-f there is one
thing that pleases us more than another it GER
tainly is bowleged baby. This style of leg
so beautifully illustrates Hogarth's line of beau
ty that it should be encouraged by all means
We rejoice to see, by the advertisements, in
some of our exchanges. that an "ingenious con-
trivance" adapted especially for the little in
nocents, called the " baby walker" which con-
ssts of kind of horse on which the dear crea-
lures are seated and made to ego it while they
are young" has been hit upon by some enter
prising inventor But seriously we think this
is carrying progress little to far. We are in
favor of giving the babies their own time, and
therefore hope this ingenious individual will be
patronized as his invention deserves.

gc6~ We regret to notice a disposition in ma
ny of our exchanges, to ridcule any new thing,
if there is any chance for it's ultimate failure
We refer more especially to Paine's Electric
Light, which has created so much stir in the
papers for the past two years. We do not feel
at liberty to ridicule an inventor because he
does not take that course which we should con-
sider the best policy, or because his invention
seems at first sight to be contrary to the estab-
lished rules of science. We cannot conceive
how any yankee could afford to spend his time
and money for two years, to perfect a thing
which he knew to be humbug, and that too,
in the face of so much opposition and sarcasm
as it has been the lot of Mr.. Paine to encounter.
Nor can we see how so many scientific gentle
men could be humbuged into the belief that a
thing was true when it was such cheat that
it could be detected by persons who had never
seen it in operation. For our part, we would
like to see Mr.. Paine's gas in general use, and
hope he will shortly prove to the world that it
is what it processes to be; at any rate we think
he must be very foolish man to spend as much
time as he has, without some good prospect of
ultimate success.

ness beaming over her steel-bowed specks as
she courtesied herself out.

lNEBRIErY AND lNsANITY.-A writer in the
American Journal Of hasanity insists that
confirmed drunkenness is the result of insanity.
1t may be 50; but it seems to us that he has
placed the matter in a wrong light, altogether
by putting the cause for the effect. Ifinebriety
is to be put down as mental disease, every
sot will plead his mania as an excuse for his
beastliness, and every crime committed by a
drunkard will be held excusable on account of
mental disease. That insanity may take the
shape of an inordinate thirst for liquor, we do
not pretend to deny, but to one such case there
is twenty where the brain is consumed and rea-
son dethrcned by the habitual indulgence in
the use of strong drinks.
