Submarine Labors.

The Pensacola Gazette gives an interesting
account of the submarine operations and ad-
ventures of workmen under the superinten-
dence of Mr.. Jas. 4. Whipple, at Pensacola,
Florida. He says -
=" When the steamship Princeiaa >~-e berv,
sne lost an anchor and range Of chain cable,
for which they dragged two days unsuccess-
fully. 1t was in the middle of the bay, and
the man in this marine armor, walked out
across the bay, found the anchor and chain
without any difficulty, after the proper direc-
tion was indicated, made line fast to it, by
which a hauser was sent down, and it was
speedily recovered
Occasionally there comes near him an enor-
nous blue shark, but has evidently, mistaken
the diver for some sea monster, as he haIts
near him without making any demonstration,
and as soon as the man stirs up or boils the
water, the blue cannibal of the ocean slowly
moves away. Different kinds of fishes play
around him, and even nibble at his garments
sometimes he grabs one, but cannot hold it
ii slips through his fingers. Mr.. Whipple,
the scientific inventor and proprietor of this
armor, stated that there was but one improve
ment that he could think of to complete it, and
that was gutta percha speaking tube, with
which to hold converse with man ten or fit
teen fathoms from the surface, while working
on the bed of river, &c. He gave me
very interesting account of his operations
while on the Spanish Main, searching for the
treasure sunk in the Spanish ship-of the line,
San Pedro, near the city of Cumana He
likewise showed me some of the old, black
enej and worn Spanish coins, of which the
company recovered more than three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, which had been
buried with the wreck upwards of forty years"

How to make Donkey cease Braying.


In 1910, we were once makins'a journey in
wagon in the province at Pekin. Our equip
age was under the guidance of one of our cafe
chists, an old schoolmaster mounted on a mag
nifcent ass, so full of ardor and agility, that
the two mules who completed our team, had all
the difficulty in the world to keep up with him.
This ass, however, was so filled with The sense
of his own superiority, and so proud of it,
that whenever he became aware of the pres
encc Of any Of his brethren, let them be at ever
so great distance, he never failed to begin
boasiing Of it in so loud and sonorous tones,
that his folly became quite insupportable.-
When we got TO an inn, instead of trying TO
rest himself, this indefatigble beast passed the
whole night in practising music; and there ap-
peared to be something So peculiarly provo
king in the tones Of his voice, that all the asses
within hearing, influenced, il would seem, by
the power of some magnetic lnid, were quite
sure 10 respondiH in magnificent bravura so
that all together, it became impossible to close
orr eyes.
Que evening, when our caiechst was vaun-
ting the qualities of his ass, we could not help
in;erraptng him. Your ass said we, is an
an abominable brute. During the whale Jour
ney he has prevented our getting a wink Of
Sleep
why did you not tell me before = said the
eatechist, i would soon have stopped his sing
ing
As the ancient schooImasier was somewhat
of wag, and INDUCED occasionally in small
Joke, we took little notice of his reply, but that
night we slept soundly.
well, did the ass make a noise last night =
said he, when met in the morning.
Perhaps not at all events we did not hear
him.
No, no | think not Il saw to that before
went TO bed. You must have noticed he CON
tinued, that when an ass is going to bray, he
always begins by raising his tail. and he keeps
j. extended horizontally as Ioud as he sings.
To ensure his silence, therefore, you have only
TO tie large stone 10 his tail, So that he
cannot raise it,
We Smiled, ,withoni reply, thinking this was
another piece of pleasantly hnt be cried.
Come now aud see ; you can easily convince
yourselves And accordingly we followed
him to the court yard, where we beheld. sure
enough, the poor ass, with large stone at
tached to his tail, and with the air of one hav-
ing entirely lost accustomed spirits. His eyes
were fined on hs ground, his ears hung down,
his whole appearance denoing humility and
detection. We felt quite compassionate to-
wards him, and begged his master 10 unite the
stone directly; and, as soon as he felt his mu
slcal apppendage at liberty, the creature raised
first his head, then his ears, then his tail and
and al last began 10 bray with all his wonted
en,husiasm.-H'Sc's Chinese Empire.

Modern Helpmeet,

Julia my dear, we must curtal our expens-

No, my dear-l mean discharge our SER

REGCLATORS VERSUS PILLS

We are continually asked, What is the difference be-
tween Railways Regulators and ordinary pills /,
We answer that pills, they ordinarily prepared
and sold by different manufacturers generally of
kns-those which operate the bowels merely pur-
atlve pills. and those which excite the secretion the
liver and are called mercuria liver pills Railways
Regulators resemble pills merely in shape but differ every
other characteristic.
They act not ouy the bowels but on the liver skin
action They not drastic never give main as most
purgave pills do; they stimulate the liver without ena-
gerng the patient with salvation mercural nils do;

Deep Mud.

Two chaps came in contact at one ofour res
iaurants some time since and were reealing on
long hine when the mud and bad roads be-
came the topic of their conversation. One OBJ

Matron and Baby VS.. Maiden.

Railroad travelling would be far more
wearisome than it is, but for the little scenes
that occasionally occur in the cars, to relieve
the monotony of the day. These are often
very amusing, and sometimes quite dramatic.
On the route between Albany and Buffalo, re-
Gently, all the seats were occupied by two per-
sons, save two or three which were tenanted
by one passenger each, and one of these was a
blooming, well-dressed maiden of Is or 20
years. At way station, in came womaR,
fair, fat and forty,' handsomely dressed, but
with bold, vulgar expression of countenance,
and bearing in her arms bouncing big
baby As she pushed along, looking for an
eligible seat, her eyes fell upon the one occu-
pied by the damse aforesaid, and she immedi-
ately went up to the spot and prepared to sit
down, but the occupant, with a pretty toss of
her head, told the matron she would find a
seat further on She started accordingly,
and, seating herself in a remote part of the
car, looked back to the aristocratc lady, and
exclaimed, loud enough for everybody to hear,
Accommodation, certainly | hope, my nice
young woman, you'll have dozen frozen
young 'uns yet, and every one of 'em as heavy
to hold as this = 1t was terrible anathema !;

mere mention of such thing Tin public,) and
