In BAD LUcK.-When once man gets into
a streak of bad luck, it generally pursues him
until he is whitfield down pretty small. As
an illustration of this, we may relate the
following true anecdote A person residing
in this city was recently requested to pur
chase some eggs for friend. He went to a
grocer's store on Washington street, ought
them, and was coming out again, when a
man, who appeared to be in a great hurry,
ran against him, and in the collision the eggs
were dropped and broken The victim. whom
we will call A., turned upon the hasty pas
senger fercely, and began to abuse. The
other-Iet us say B.-apOlogized for the
accident very politely, expressed his regret
for the fracture of the eggs. and finally offered
to pay for them. A, however. was cantan
kerous; he would listen to no excuses, and
continued to abuse B. v1ciferously. B. again
offered to pay for the damages, and Justly
observed that he could do no more, but A.
refused to be appeased, and still launching
out curses, at length gave utterance to an
expression relative to b. IS parentage, which
few meu will accept. Upon this B. stepped
up close to him and said quietly Look

by the quiet resolution Of his opponent, and

An ISLAND FoRTREss.-Aborima, one Of
the NavIgators' Islands, is about two miles
10 circumference, from two to three hun.
dred feet in height, and is situated helf vay
between Manono and Sayaii. 1t receiyed
Its name, which signifies 1.-THE hollow of the
hand" from its remarkable shape. Most
probably 1t is the crater of an extinct yolca-
no. ltls precipitious and inaccessible. ex-
cept at one small opening; and the people of
Manono, to whom it is subject, use IL in
time OF war as fortress for thei: families
ana property, and, in the event Of defeat, as
retreat Tor themselves. For these purposes
1t is well adapted, as 1t is SO completely pro.
.ected on all sides by the inaccessible rocks.
that 1t Is only necessary 70 guard the narrow
entrance This is done most effecrually-
first, by throwing tripping lines across it, so
that men stationed on the jutting rocks that
hanked the passage could easily ove.turn
every canoe that entered it; and, secondly.
by constructing platform or bridge on the
rocks that overhung this opening, from which
they could hurl large stones upon the inya.
ders.
Although. therefore, the people Of Manono
had been at times driven from their own
island, this retreat was so effectually guard
ed, and so well provided with food. that they
never had been, and scarcely could be, sub
dued.
Barren and sterile as are the sides of the
rocks, very different appearance is pre-
sented when you arrive opposite to the point
where the crater has emptied itself. Here
the whole of the interior opens at once to the
view, and anything more beautiful or unique
cannot be imagined. The island is basin,
most regularly scOoped out, and ascending
with a gentle slope from the center to the
circumference and although, Oh approach
ing 1t, nothing meets the eye but sterile
cliffs. when you catch a glimpse of the am.
phitheatre within, you discover then glo-
rious contrast to the dreariness and desola-
ton without. Not barren spot is to be
seen, but one verdant covering of tropical
vegetation, the whole of which, from the pe.
cnlar form of the island. presents itself at a
single view, and fills the beholder with de.
light. If anything could enhance the beauty
of the scene, it is the group of native dwell
ings, which, half revealed among the trees
OF cocoanut, bread-fruit and banana, form
the settlement.

Niagara Whirlpool.

This whirlpool, which is several miles
below the falls. is one of those scenes which
are too grand for description. Instances Of
accidents happening there can best convey an
idea OF the horrors of the dreadful abvss.
The whirlpool is large deep basin. in
which the waters of the mighty ST. Lawrence
revolve in one perpetual whirl, caused by
their being obstructed by an angle of the
steep and dreary banks which overhane
this dreadful place. The whirlpool, like the
falls, has frequently caused the loss of human
lite one instance of which | will here
relate:
Mr.. Wallace, the blacksmith, had a son. g
1ne youth, OF whom he was exceedingly
proud, and the lad one day went down {,
the whlrlToo and the current proving to,
strong for him, he was carried into the whirl
HIS poor distracted mother sat on the gloomy
bank hours and days. and beheld the body O
her own darling child carried round in a
circle by the waters, sometimes disappearing
for time, and then coming up and revolv
ing on the surface of the watery grave; and
thus continuing for several days, no human
aid being available even to obtain his
remains.
An acquaintance, who resides at the
Whirlpool, informed me that in the course oi
five or six days, bodies which get into the
dismal cauldron are carried down the river.
1t is usual for persons rafting timber om
places between the falls and the whirlpool, to
get OF the raft befure they come to the basin,
first placing the raft in such position as
may best enable it to float down the stream
without being carried into the whirl.
On one occasion, however. one of the RATS
men refused to leave the raft-he was not
afraid, all would go safe. Entreatv was
unavalling, and the raft, with the unfortu
nate, headstrong man upon it, made its way
downward. and was soon drawn within the
fatal circle around which, for three days
and three nights, it continued to revolve all
the Efforts of a thousand anxious spectators
proved unavailing.
The continual and sickening motion be
underwent robbed the poor sufferer of all
power to eat->leep he could not-a dreadful
death was before his eyes, so much the more
terrible that it was protracted in such a
place. AT last man was found who ventured
into tho whlrl as far as he could with hopes
OF life, strong rope being tied around his
middle, one end of which was on shore. He
carried with him a line to throw TO the raft
succeeded the agenized sufferer fastened it
to the raft, and in this way be was drawn
on shore and his life preserved.

NOVEL GOLD DIscovERY.-The Alpine

On Monday last some of our citizens were
thrown into fever on the announcement
that deposit of gold 1.-The pure stuff itself,
had been discovered in the most freuuented

had struck rick lead which panned cut

sand, nail and some shot The cow had
been grazing on Wolf Greek, about four
miles east of this place, where some supposed
there must be surface dggings, consequently
prospecting party visited that locality, but
they failed to discover the spot where they
supposed the old cow had licked up the
precious metal. They should have prospected
further, as they might have stumbled on to a
shot tower, or a nail factory, in their peye-
grlnatiGns. Our citizens have been as much
puzzled to ascertain how that cow managed
to corral that gold dust, as the monarch of

apple got into the dumpling. 1t may be chat
she he'd devoured some unfortunate miner
on the other side of the mountains whose
verdancy kept him from coming here to assist

MOOD Poisoning CAsE.-The San Fran
cisco Times Of December 4th, has the follow
ing account of a singular pnisoning:
Mr.. John Penniman, dealer in coal and
wood. recently purchased quantity of wood
brought from ranch, and had it hauled to
his yard. Soon afterward he discovered that
he was poisoned, and was satisfied tha. be
became so through handling this wood =
Yesterday he made a complaint to the Health
Officer, and asked to have the wood removed
That officer having no power to act in the
premises, Captain Scott accompanied him to
the Mayors Office to bring the matter before
the Board of Health. Mr.. Penuiman is
badly poisoned his face. neck, hands and
arms being the color of boiled lobster. and
as rough AZ the bark of tree. The question
arises, how is the poisonous wood to be dis
posed of? 1t will not do to burn il, since it
is well known that the smoke produced fy
burning poison oak IS even more deleterious
'han the emanations from the bark. 1t
would, therefore, seem chat the only method
of dispoSing Of it is to throw it into the bay.
We understand that Mr. Penniman intends
to sue the parties from whom be purchased
the wood for damages There can be no
doubt that the selling Of poison oak for fire
wood is a reprehensible act. for if it was dis
tributed and used half the families 10 the city
might be poisoned.
