''Seye,l Up

A South Caronian has been busiy en-
gagged sometime in studying the game OF
"seven up.' He has taken lessons under
Simon Succs and will soon be able to occu-
py column in each Of the newspapers with
description Of the beauties Of the game
and the splendid achievements of some of
the 'artists." This noble and kingly game,
so well calculated to develop the human
mind and remove the scales from the intel
lects of people that have not travelled, has
ia! len somewhat into disuse in latter years.
We presume, however, it will, ere long, be
revived under more glorious auspices. we
observe that Buggins, the great Mississippi
River hero of ''seven-up," has made match
in New York with a distinguished amateur
of that nob'e game, and will play it shortly.
We shall report each game faithfully, ana
shall give the notes made by the immortal
BuGGINs He played, recently, "consuIta-
ton" game, in which be was opposed to
Peter Smith Herr Won Blitherspste and the
Rev. Mr.. John Jones. We suhjoin this bril-
liant and interesting game, appending there
to the notes as furnished by the reporter:
Consultation game 5etaceen Buggins and P.
Smith, Herr Von Bltherspate and Rec.
Mr.. Jones.
The deal was won by Buggns, who turned
the Jack of Hearts, and set the game at five.
Smiths partner begged. Bnggins ran the
cards, and, adroitIy calling the attention of
his opponents to something going on behind
them, slipped the Jack Of Spades from his
sleeve and turned it as trumps. Two were
scored by Buggius, and the game proceed

How MEN AND SPIDERS MAKE BRIDGEs.--
Insects as well as men, have their way of do
ing things Robelin, the architect Of the
Suspension Bridge, by flying kite across
the immense chasm at Niagara first got
small string across, then by increasing the
size finally to rope, and from that to the
mammoth structure that now spans the
abyss as a monument to his genius. Some
of the most distinguished naturalsts in the
world believe that spiders have the art of
crossing water on bridges oftheir own making.
Mr.. Spencer relates the following curious fact:
Having placed large full grown spler on
a cane planted upright in the midst of
stream of water, he saw it descend the cane
several times, and remount when it had arr-
we'd at the water. Suddenly he lost sight OF
it wholly, but few minutes afterwards, to
his great astonishment, he perceived it quiet
ly pursuing its way on the other side of the
stream. Having spun two threads along the
cane, it had cut one of them, which carried
by the wind, had become attached to some
object on the bank, and so served the SPIDER
as bridge across the water.

The Maelstrom Verified.

OF late years even the existence of the
Maelstrom on the coast of Norway has been
doubted. The ancient accounts of its terri
be power were doubtless fabulous, but the
Maestrom actually exists and is some times
dangerous. II. Hagerup, minister of the
Norwegian marine, has recently given re
liable account Of it, in reply to some ques-
tons from correspondent of the Boston
Recorder The vast whir is caused by the
setting in and out of the tides between Lotto
den and Mosken, and is most violent half
way between ebb and flood tide. At flood
and ebb tide it disappears for about half an
hour, but begins again with the moving wa
ters. Large vessels may pass over it in safety
in serene water, but in storm it is perlous
to the largest craft. Small boats are not safe
near it at the time Of its strongest action in
any weather. The whrls in the Maelstrom
do not as was once supposed, draw vessels
under the water, but by their violence dash
them upon the neigbboring shoals II. Ha-
gerup says:
I'm Winter it frequently happens that, at
sea- a bank of clouds shows a west storm,
with heavy sea to be prevailing there, while
farther in, on the coast, the clear air shows
that on the inside of the west Uord (east
side of Lofoden) the wind blows from the
land, and sets out through the tjord from
the east. In such cases, especially, an ap'
proach to the Maelstrom is in the highest
degree dangerous for the stream and under
current from opposite directions work there
together, to make the whole passage one
single boiling caudron. At such times ap-

the name of Maesrom, G e. the whi'ling
or grinding stream,) and in which no craft
whatever can hold its course. For steam
er, it is then quite inadvisabe to attempt
the passage of the Maelsrom during Win
ter storm, and for sailing vessels, it may al
so be bad enough in time of summer, should
there fall calm or light wind, whereby the
power Of the stream becomes greater than
that Of the wind, leaving the vessel no Ion
ger ur ~ command"

Wonders of the Mississippi.

The differences of level between the high
aud low water mark at Cairo is fifty feet; at
New Orleans the difference is but twelve feet.
The width and depth of the river from
Cairo and Memphis to New Orleans is not
materially increased, yet immense additions
are made to the quantity Of water in the
channel by large streams from both the east
ern and western side of the Mississippi.
The question naturally arises, what becomes
of this vast added volume OF water! 1t
certainly never reaches New Orleans, and as
certainly does net evaporate; and OF course
it it not confined to the channel of the river,
for it would rise far above tie entire region
south of us.
If well is sunk anywhere in the Arkan-
sas bottom, water is found as soon as the
water level of the Mississippi reached
When the Mississippi goes down, the water
sinks accordingly in the well. The owner of
a saw mill, some twenty miles from the
Mississippi, in Arkansas dug well to sup
ply the boilers of his engine, during the late
flood When the waters receded, he went
down till his hose would no lontfer reach
the water, and finally his well was dry. He
duo ditch to an adjacent lake to let water
into the well; the lake; the lake was drained,
and the we'll was dry again having literally
drank ten acres of water in less than a
week The inference is, that the whole val
ley of the Mississippi, from its banks to the
highlands on either side, rests on porus
substratum which absorbs the redundant Wa
ters, and thus prevents that degree of accn-
mutation which would long since have swept
New Orleans into the Gulf but for this pro-
vision of nature, to which alone her safety
is attributable Memphis Ayalanche.

Excessive Smoking.

To say that smoking in moderation, like
drinking wine in moderation, tends to destroy
mind and body, would be to assert what the
experience of three tourths of the civilized
world is opposed to. But no one who is
conversant with disease can doubt for mo-
ment that smoking to excess, or immoder
ately, ends in destruction of mind or body.
Some of the revelations on this subject are
startling. Some young men still in their
teens smoke forty or fifty cigars daily Some
Young gentlemen Of rank have assured me
that at college they have smoked from five
in the afternoon until three or four in the
morning, for weeks together. The effect Of
excessive smoking is to depress the circula
ton, the heart becomes weak, irregular in
its action, and the pulse is scarcely to be
felt The ati:nt becomes frightened, and
looses resolution; once bold rider, he can
not mount his horse; a carriage passing him
rapidly in the street alarms him; his appetite
fails him; his mind fills with horrors-imag
mary crimes and imaginary punishments.
This state of things sometimes continues for
wears. At length the patient dies-often,
very often, suddenly. The case is explained.
The muscular structure of the heart-of that
organ which is to distribute strength and
power to every part of the system--is i'm.
perfect in its action: the left side is thin, and
in some cases in which sudden death has oc-
Cured, there is little more than a str of
muscular fibre left on that side. Excessive
smoking is new vice. How many young
men at school and college used to smoke
fifty years ago? Some half:a-dozen. How
many do now? The answer is-legion. Boys
of twelve years old are seen early in the
morning walking the streets with cigars in
their mouths. Youths have consulted me
who have just come from the new schools,
now called colleges, confessing that they
have been in the habit of smoking constant
ly, and these are lads just hoping to begin
the business Of ife.-Letter By Dr. Sey-
mour upon "Prioate Lonotic Asylunas.

PLACING THE Pen BEHIND THE EAR.-Tho
practice of thus resting the pen when not in
actual use is ancient. According to Wikin-
son, the scribe of ancient Egypt would clap
his reed pencil behind his ear when listening
to any person on business, as the painter
was also in the habit of doing when ,,aasing
to examine the effects Of his painting. In
the Middle Ages, also, public clerks and
registrars carried pen in the ear

A GREAT SHIP CANAL.-The Bay OF Bis
cav and the Mediterranean are to be united,
and 1900 miles to be saved by a great ship
canal through the interior of Spain! Its pro
jector is Charles Boyd, an Englishman, who
has been allowed two years time for carrying
the work into effect The canal will be 2S5
miles long $40 feet wide and 30 feet deep
available for vessels of the argesr dimensions.
The Spanish Government bears large por-
ton Of the expenses. This may truly be
called the age Of magnificent enterprises.

BLOODY DUEL-Count Bethlem the Hun
garan, at present in the staff of Louis Ma
poleon, is the one who fought the duel with
Prince Esterhazy. The quarrel was politi-
cal one and great importance was attached
by the Austrian party to the death of Beth
lem, whose patriotism, combined with his i'm
mense wealth had rendered him obnoxious
to them. At the first fire the Count fell,
shot through the body. When the Esterha-
zy faction saw him fall, they instantly dis
patched an express to Vienna to announce
his death. TO their great surprise and con
sternation, however, they saw the apparently
dead man rise to his knees and fire at his
antagonist. The bali struck Prince Esterhazy
between the eyes, and killed him instantly.

want of nourishment. He gave the opinion that
the boy had died of starvation. There was other
, evidence produced proving cruelty on the part of
Russell and his wife, and also the fact of the boy
being stinted in food. He said he had never seen
body more emaciated The jury rendered a ver-
dict of "death from cruelty and want of nourish-
ment."
Russell and his wife were arrested, and released
on bail to answer at Court the charge Of starving
the child to death. Not being satisfied with the re-
suit OF the inquest, Russell called Coroner Nelson,
and had a second inquest the body; no new
post-nortem made and the evidence of DR.. II.
T: T. Yates was repeated to this jury the opinions
OF several physicians given, all of whom
stated that while they were convinced from the ap
pearance of the body that the child had not received
proper nOurishment, they were not prepared to say
that it had died of starvation; the jury were en-
gagged four days investigating the case, and ad-
lourned without rendering a verdict-seven being
in favor of a verdict of "death from starvation" ;"
and five of "death from natural causes"
Rumor has reported for time past in the
neighborhood where they live, that Russell and his
wife were starving the boy, James, to death. New
er did the reporter see such an emaciated child

Acting Mayor Ford said that he considered the
evidence sufficient to hold the accused for trial be-
fore the Criminal Court and, in default of $500 Sc
cur1ty, Russell was committed to Jail. A warrant
was issued for the arrest of Mrs Russell and she
also was committed.
