Protestant tendS We do not ourselves ex-
actly ul,dsEstand how ! chimoof bells, though

AS to "dspils," ghosts, hobgoblins, and
witches, we confess we are 50 free from super
stition, we are not able to appreciate the impor-
lance Of having any guards against them du-
ring our sojourn in the land Of the living.
We had supposed, too, that the whole race
Of Satanic in,ps were in much warmer place
than this mundane sphere affords. We have
often heard Of ghosts and hobgoblins," but in
the half century Of our existence, we have not
had the pleasure Of meeting with any. In the
matter Of witches" we confess we have been
favored with the sight Of few such, but they
were 80 neatly faxed up" in calico, muslin, or
silk, they did not ffighten us! N.
"Mobs" are sometimes quite unruly, but the
officers Of the law are, we think, safer pro-
lection against them, than chime Of 6sIs,
bathed in salt and water, with the blessing Of
priest thrown in.
And, when we come to the "lightnings,"
"thunders, y" tempests, and "storms," we arc
inclined to the opinion, that the ringing Of all
the bells that ever chimcd since the foundation
Of the world, and all the imprecations Of Bishops
and Priests that hare been Or could be uttered
in nineteen centuries, would have as little effect
upon any such workings Of nature" as tho
chirping Of snow-bird. lsF

1NTEMPERANCE.-It is estimated that
the annual cost of intemperance is, in
the United States, $s0,ooo,o 900; in
Great Briton, S2oO,OOO,o 900; in France,
1875, 100000 in Sweden, $7o,0oo,-
600; and in the rest of the world,
$500, 900, 900 total, 1895, ,0OO, ,O00.--
1t is like ise estimated that the cost Of
work-hodses, police, asyIums and prisons,
merely so far as intemperance occasions
their nse, amounts two thousand millions
Of CELLARS; so that the aggregate of the
annual amount of cost to the world,
simply for intemperance, produc's a
grand total of three thousand millions of
dollars This stat snent oaght to para.

WI the supply of cachalots be sufficient,
under the new system, to yield rep"uner-
latige freights' We know that The sperm
whale has already been seriously ,hinhed
in some localities, and that certain
tlme-Perhaps much longer than whalefs
and naturaists reckon-is necessary f"f
whales to grow to a profitable SIZE. Now,
the electric battery, according to our au.
thorities, being so deadly in its applica-
ton, we should suppose that when a
whaler falls in with large school of
cachalots, and sends out all his boats,
each armed with battery, they will be
able to kill perhaps thrice the presetit
maximum number (6ve,) which can be
secured at one chase and attack, and in
one-fifth of the usual time. If they do
this, it matters little whether they can
secure all the dead whales for cutting up
the animal is at any rate destroyed,
and years must elapse ere another will
have grown to take its place in the ocean.
To drod this speculation, however, we
may at least reasonably conclude, that
the capture of sperm whales will become
a matter of more certainty and greater
expedition than it is at present, and if
the number does not rapidly diminish
year by year although we seriously an
ticipate that it will-the price of sperm
oil, and the other commercial products
pf the fishery, may be expected to be-
come materially lower That this would
cause an increased demand for these
products, there can be no doubt, for at
present the limited supply, and the large
quantity of sperm oil used for lubricating
delicate machinery keep up the price.
Let US now conclude with few words
on the commercial products of the ca
chalet. The most important is the sperm
oil, used for lamps and for lubricating
machinery. 1t is more pure than any
other animal oil Spermaceti is trans
parent fluid when first extracted from the
whale, but it becomes concrete when ex-
posed to cold temperature, or placed
in water. 1t is found in all parts of the
whale, but chiefly in the head and the
dorsal hump. After being prepared, it
is cast in moulds for sale in the shops,
and is chiefly used for making candles.-
Formerly, as Shakespeare tells us, it was
considered to possess curative proper
The sovereignst thing on earth
Is spermaceti for inward bruise.
The teeth yield ivory, which always sells
at remunerative price. Lastly, there
is the rare and mysterious substance
called ambergis-the origin of which was
long a problem, which even the learned
could not solve 1t is now known to be
kind of morbid excrescence produced
in the intestines of the cachalot, and in
no other species Of whale. 1t is sold as
perfume, fetching Eve dollars an ounce
when pure, and rare in the market even
at that price. When found floating on
the sea, it has undoubtedly been voided
by the cachalot, or has drifted from it
when the body became decompsed after
death.
