Charge that the Senate had attempted to i'm

where Dust at Sea Comes rrom

The ocean is about the last place where one
would expect 10 he annoyed with duet; vet vast
volumes OF il sometimes sweep aver The Atlantic,
aud still more frequently over the Mediterranean.
Not long ago vessel that had been ont in a dust
storm at sea arrived in. port. Tie crew declared
'thl. the flying dirt' almost checked and blinded
them; and although S. ito s'yarns are not ALWAYS
Trimmed with single eye TO ruth there WAS moth
ing in the story Itself which initiated agai, ST its
incrediIility. 1t is well Known that dust show
crs sometimes occur at distances of from one thou-
sand TO fifteen hundred miles from land. The mr.
ticles are of brick dust hue and they have Been
known to fall so thickly rs TO make The sea zone

gree as 10 the origin of the phenomenon. Two
facts which have recently come TO light, seem.
however, TO settle the question definitely. One Is
that the ingredients of the dust nrc everywhere
the same; the other, that these ingredients are OK
clusivcly South American. Animalcul;c. and the
debris ofnnmalcule, found on only That continent
are uniformly present in the Mediterranean sir

dust drifts occasionally net with in the II, ghbor-

equatorial America by wLirlwinds, AID carried

The following occurrence is described by our
Informant as being one ofthe most amusing scenes
he ever noticed: ...
y gentleman in New Haven recently cree Cd on
Chapel street, near the college, large aud beau
ti'ul residence, and adorned the grounds with
more than ordinary tase and expense Among
other OF .ments, not fir from the street he placed
n large cast iron statute of dog, whose hclger-
cnt appearance and defiant attitude made him
''look ls lurge us life and twice as ugly" For
weeks afierward the ''litte dogs and all, on
passing by the house, never failed to give the
statute a complimentary bark and growl. which,
however, never disturbed its equanmtv. Put
one day big old Towscr from The country was
following his masters market wagon into town.
and happened to spy the ho. til. form Of Tie cast
iron foe. \ preliminary growl and bow-wow
produced no effect. Surly and defiant his enem2
to gazc AT Linn. Canine nature could
Stand it no longer. One leap over the fence
brought him into the yard, and two or three
more carried him to Ills mute antagonist Quicker
than bought he attempted 10 f,stcn his teeth on
the cast iron chops of the sts re, bu, the next
moment gave up The contest. The last that WAS
seen Of that dog he WAS snenking out Of tn, yard
with Lis tail between his legs, the most con lilcc-
" sold specimen Of canine society We ever Wit

THULE of instruments of the kind. .., .....-.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make a
musical instrument more perfect, although we are
slow to admit that the limit of improvement can
ever be attained,
Before they had brought their Pianos to their
present excellence, they had submitted them to
competition with instruments of the best makers of
this country and Europe, and received the reward
OF merit over all others, at the celebrated Worlds
Fair. 1t is but justice to say that the judgement
thus pronounced has not been overruled by the mu-
steal world.
Still. by the improvements lately applied by
them to their Pianos, it is admitted that more
perfect instrument has been made. They have ac-
cordingly achieved the paradox of making excel
ience more excellent. Surely, after this, they are
entitled to the motto "Exccsior." p.
