"Will you have Pickles. y

In Miss Bremer's very readable work emf.
tied Homes of the New World occurs the
following amusing passage. The good lady
was probably obliged 10 take to pickles, in self
defence against prosecuting politeness
With us people can enjoy The pleasure Of
conversation, and they need not think about
the dishes, except in so far as ENJOYING them
goes. Everything, WIN ", u ne sr~-i.
and in due order by the attendants AT a
glance from the hostess you are offered a Sec
ond supply, but this also silently; the dishes
come round TO the guests each IN his turn,
and after that, people are not troubled with
them. Here il is not so. Here there 10 an
incessant asking and inviting and selecting and
answering, there is really no time for enjoy.
ment Of the meal much less Of the conversation.
Neither is one able to help ones self; but the
host or hostess, or aunt or uncle, or sCme other
polite person, Or il may be the servants, which
here in the south are always negroes, help you,
seldom get just what you wish for, OF as much
or little as YOU want, and NOT on that part uf
the plate where you wished to have II. You
are asked for example,
will you have butter! e
Yes, thank you
And with that comes piece Of butter on
the edge Of the plate, on which the annoying
thought always suggests itself, that il is
tanly exactly where the servant put his thumb.
Then il goes on.
Will you take fish or meat chicken or
tnrkey!'
Chicken, if you please
Have yon any choice! The breast OF q
wing!
Then comes, will you have piekles!'
No, thank you
A pause and calm ensues for two minutes. -
But then somebody on Yonr lift discovers that
you have no pickles, and pickles come to yOu
from the left. May help you 10 pickles!'
| No, thank YOU
After few moments more, somebody on
the right sees that you have no pickles, and
hastens to offer you the bottle. Will you not
take pickles!'
| NO. lndnh you'

an hour so terrible as that when the Constitu-

in carrying out TO France Chancellor Living
ston, relative of Edwards, and also Minister
to the Court of St. Cloud. He likewise had
his wife on board, and while the vessel was
weathering lee shore, Mrs. Livingston asked
the Captain rough but gallant old fire eater

A THRILLING SEA STORY.
BY AN EYE WITNESS.

It was at the close of stormy day, in the
year 1885, when the gallant frigate Constitu-
tion, under the command Of Captain Elliot,
having on board the late Edward Livingston,
then minister at the Court of France, and fam
lily, and manned by nearly five hundred souls,
drew near the chop of English Channel.
For four days she had been beating down from
Plymouth, and on the fifth, at evening, she
made her tack for the French coast.
The watch was set at eight, p NJ, the
captain came on deck soon AFTER and having
ascertained the bearing of Scilly, gave orders
to keep the ship 9 full and bye,' remarking at
the same time to the officer of the deck, that
he might make the light on the lee beam );
but, he stated, he thought it more than proba-
bic that he would pass it without seeing it.
He then turned in as did most Of the idlers,
and the starboard watch.
AT a quarter past nine, 2. NJ, the ship
headed west by compass, when the call of
Light ho!' was heard from the foretopsail
yard.
Where away!' asked the officer of the
deck
Three points to the lee bow replied the
lookout man, which the unprofessional reader
will understand to mean very nearly straight
ahead.
At this moment the captain appeared and
took the trumpet.
Call all hands! was his immediate order
'All hands !! whistled the boatswain, with
the long, shrill summons, familiar to the ears
OF all who have ever been on board a man-of-
war.
'All hands = screamed the boatswain's
mate. and ere the echo died away, all but the
sick were on deck.
The ship was staggering through heavy
swell from the Bay Of Biscay the gale, which
had been blowing several days, had increased
to severity that was not to be made light Of
The breakers, where Sir Cloudesly Shovel
and his feet were destroyed in the days of
Queen Ann, sang their song of death before,
and the Dead Mans Ledge replied in hoarser
notes behind US, To go ahead, seemed to be
death, and to 60 about was sure destruction.
The first thing that caught the eye of the cap
tain was the furled mainsail, which he had
ordered to be carried throughout the evening
that hauling up of which, contrary to the
last order he had given on leaving the deck,
had caused the ship to fall off to leeward two
points, and had thus led her into position on
Eastern times. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1846-1857, 1854-11-09

he has way ofgiving them what is called q
commdndc' That is, he authorizes the "a
vorite to purchase for the government some
article in large quantities at an extravagant
price, the quantity and price depending upon

Gel rather than the needs Of the service The
favorlte or creditor Immediately takes this

commission merchant, and almost a total loss

the people very few of whom ever hear or
know anything of these rogueries. This
mode of raising money and of rewarding fa-

ceives from these sources. Formerly it was
doubtless very considerable sum annually,
but he is now paying the penalty of his folly,
for the bonds of the government are hardly
worth the paper they are written on. Such
quantities were thrown upon the market that
the government was obliged, in selfdefence,
to refuse to receive them in pay for duties, ex-
cept in very small proportions, and required
the balance, at least half, to be paid in gold
or silver. ] have understood that no new
bonds Of this description have been issued Of
late, and that the Emperor has determined that
no more shall Issue. What will become of
those already in the market it is difficult to
say. Some will be paid to the government
for duties, some will be lost, some will be
worn out, and the balance will, one Of these
| days, probably be repudiated.
The accumulation of money, acouisitive-
ness, as the phrenologsts term it, is the EN-
Peror's besetting infrmity. All his thoughts
and energies are directed to the qualification
of this passion. 1t is responsible for all that
IS worst in his public policy. If he should
ever lose his crown by violence. venture to
say that his avarice will be the proximate
cause. | am told that he has small house OF
vault constructed in his palace for the safe
keeping of his money, and that he has over
six millions of francs stored there in gold and
silver. This is dangerous possession for q
ruler whose throne is SO feebIy supported as
| Solouque's. and may seduce into the revolu-
tlonary ranks many who are more anxious tc
assist in dividing his treasures than in chang
ing their ruler.-N Y. Euening Post.

Does a Sinking Ship make a Whirlpool :

A writer in the n. Y. Evening Post says
the popular idea that sinking ship makes .
tremendous whirlpool, which will engnlpA
boats and everything within reach The idea
he pronounces chimera and in proof of the
assertion, he relates the following instance in
opposition 10 the whirlpool theory:
was in vessel which eapsized some
years since, and with others got nPon her bot
tom. Her boat was cut from the wreck, and
as she sunk, come Of the old sailors (who had
the chimera in their heads{pIunged overheard
and struck off to clear the whirlpool'-the losO
experienced ones stood upon the vessels bilRe
until the water slowly rose to their shoes, and
then got into the boat without weiting their

The Post, is commenting on the above, adds
its testimony in opposition 10 this popular Chi
mera. II says
Now the sinking Of ship is not like tho
falling Of rock into the water, or other large
body from great helght, producing whirl-
pool by its sudden and violent displacement Of
the water on the contrary, il is gradual and
slow-in the case Of the Arctic taking several
hours. And both common observation and
natural philosophy teach US that, during the de-
scent, the increased density Of the water acts
as retarding force, ill at certain depths il
put an absolute stop TO any further passage
The whirlpool and suction theory must there
