A Whale Story.

Captain Maloy, of the whaling bark
Osceola, has had an adventure, which he
tells in a private note published in the
Bedford Mercury:
"About three hundred miles northwest
from St. Nicholas, we saw whales close to
the ship, lowered the boats as soon as pos
sible, and soon the second mate struck a
large whale. In few minutes the third
mate struck and got stove. The whale
then went to the second mate and knocked
the bottom out OF his boat. The first mate
then brought the third mate and his crew
to the ship. / then sent him off to bring
the second mate and his crew to the ship
as quick as possible, as saw the whale
was intending mischief. In the meantime
| the whale was at work on the starboard
boat, and soon made bad boat of her.
After getting all hands on board, the first
and second mates, being anxious to try him
again, went off, but didn't get chance to
kill him. In fact, they had as much as
they could do to keep clear of him; and
seeing he was dangerous customer l
called the boats on board.
Not liking the idea Of being done by a
whale, / concluded to go at him with the
ship; got all ready and made for him.
Getting near, he turned and came for US,
striking the ship on her port bow with his
jaw, his head coming in contact with the
cut water, knocking it off and tearing of
considerable copper and sheathing. The
shock he gave the ship was heavy, taking
some Of the men off their feet, and giving
them considerable of fright. Had the
whale struck the ship fair he would have
gone through her as easily as cat woult
through wet paper. About the time hi
struck l gave him bomb, but it did no
kill him, SO l went at him again. Thi
time he did not seem to like the taste o
the ship, and SO got out of the way as fas
as he could. As he passed l gave hin
another bomb and two lances, but thes
failed to kill him. Again tried him, bu
be kept clear Of us.
1t being late, sent boat off to maxi

We clip from Harper's Easy Chair
for Augest some thoughts on prize fight
ing that should have wide currency. They
are embraced in the two paragraphs follow
ing;
The cant Of muscle is the most disgust
ing Of all cant. OF what conceivable ad-
vantage to anybody in any way was
Blondon's walking over the Niagara river
upon tight-rope trundling a wheel bar
row ? 1t was precisely of the same benefit
to mankind as the jumping of Sam Patch
at the Gennesee Falls it was as noble a
spectacle as that of man eating whole
sheep at a sitting for wager. DO we
need the Benicia Boy to prove to us that
a sound physical training is desirable. Do
we wish our sons to be Tom Cribs? Such
men are as exceptional as the Belgian 81
ant. 1t is good thing to move graceful
ly; shall we, therefore, applaud the poor
girl who devotes herself day and night to
poison herself upon the point of her great
toe The Benicia Boy could deal blow
like trip hammer bot he was not strong
in the true sense-that of endurance. So
a little fellow acquires the peculiar agility
of All Right" by the sacrifice of every.
thing most desirable in a boy. A taste
for exhibition Of such wasted strength ant
address is just as morbid as taste fol
monsters in China, or for stimulating
drugs. 1t Shows what the human frame
is capable of; yes, but there are many ca
pabilties of that frame which it is better
for US not to see.
1t is painful that the newspapers still
insult the better part of the public will

Such reports directly panders to the NEAR

A writer in Harper's Magazine for
August, in an article on the seige Of Port
Hudson, in which he makes repeated men
ton of the 9Th VT, tells the following Gu
rious incident:
In the first attack preceding the invest
ment, the colonel Of a New York regiment
pushed his way up to an apron which pro-
jected from the main works, and fought
desperately till many Of his men were kill
ed, and the rest driven to cover. The
Colonel was in dilemma, he could not adj
vance or retreat, and in this extremity he
hoisted white flag on stick, and surren-
dered to the part of the garrison immedi-
ately opposed to him.
The white Gag was seen by rebel
colonel in advance of his position, and
wholly misinterpreted. Never suspecting
that it was raised by Union officer, he
thought his comrades had been overpower-
ed, and compelled to surrender, and being
disposed to act honorably he hoisted a
white handkerchief also, stopped the fir
ing, and ordered his regiment to file od'
through the sally-port, and stack their
arms outside Of the intrenchments. The
Union skirmishers who mingled with them
asking in establishment what this move
ment meant, received the reply, I'VE sup
pose that we have surrendered"
Usluckily no Union officer Of intelli'
gence and standing, was at this point tt
take advantage of the mistake. The
precious moments passed, and while the
Union troops looked on with wonder,
mounted Confederate officer rode out il
hot haste, placed the colonel that had sur
rendered under arrest, and ordered thu
regiment inside the intrenchments. Hat
the abandoned works been promptly seiz
ed by our troops, it is possible that thu
whole place would have surrendered. Blu
the golden opportunity was lost, and sia
long weeks of siege and thousands of val
liable lives were the penalty of the failure
to profit by the mistake of the rebel colo
mel.

on teaspoonful of brown sugar, and one
teasoonful of cream mix them well TO-

the flies are troublesome. and they will
