Original ineCdOte Of Decatur.

The gallant Decatur was n sailor to the
hearts core, and loved to tell anecdotes of
the common sailors. | recollect one which
he uSed.to relate, to the following pur
port In one of the actions. before Tri-
poll, while fighting hand to hand with the
captain of a gun boat, Decatur came near
being cut down by TURK. who attacked
him behind, A seaman, named Reuben
James, who was already wounded in both
hands. seeing the risk of his Commander
rushed in anu received the blow of his up
lifted sabre on his own head Fortunate
ly, the honest fellow survived to receive
his reward Sometime afterwards. when
he had recovered from his wounds. Deca-
tur sent for him on deck, expressed his
gratitude for his self devotion, in pres
ence of the crew. and told him to ask for
some reward The honest tar pulled up
his waist band, and rolled his quid, but
seemed at loss what recompense to claim
His messmates gathered around him nudg
ing him with their elbows, and whisper
ing in his ear:
He had all the world in n string. and
could get what he pleased the old man
could deny him nothing etc One ad-
viscd this thing ganother that double pay
double allowance. a boatswain's berth. a
pocket full of money. and a full swing on
shore, etc Jack elbowed them all aside
and would have none of the counsel At
ter mature dcliberation, he announced the
reward to which he aspircd it was, to be
ctcuSed from rolling up the hammock

The whimsical request was of course
granted and from that time forward
whenever the sailors we're piped to stow
away their hammocks, Jack was to be
seen lettering around. and looking on with
the most gentlemanlike leisure He al
ways continued in the same ship with De
catur.

ACQUISITION OF KYOWLEDGE.

If those farmers who dread the study
of chemistry, or so much of it as is appli-
cable to their art, would recollect that
every building has been erected one stone

from the attempt The acquisition of one
fact renders that of another less difficult.

People about town with nothing else 10 do

- The Bottle Trick. -

What is called the " bottle trick. as
performed by Herr Alexander. Anderson.
and other professed :. conjurors, " has
puzzled many an audience An expla-
nation of it has recently been given. in an
article of some length We will give the
substance of it in few words. There
are two puZziing points about it-frst.
how fifty or a hundred wine glasses be fl
led from one quart bottle ? and. secondly.
how can six or eight different liquids be
poured from the same bottle The first
wonder Is explained thus the glasses are
80 small, and have such thick bottoms that
full quart bottle will hold enough to fill
so of them. The second marvel is man
aged in the following manner The glas-
ses are arranged on tray in d particular
manner by the coRiurer. before the enter
tainment begins The bottle is filed
with a weak mixture of the spirits of wine
water and sugar At the bottom of each
glass is a drop or two Of some favoring
essence, as noyau, essence Of brandy, port
wine sherry, etc. and the operator is
thus enabled to concoct a tolcrablc rcscm-
blance of any fluid that is likely to be cal
led for and to supply a hundred persons
or more with a sip of their favorite beyer-
age, from the ''inexhaustible bottle"
