A TRUE SAILoR.-The New York 4Uion
in an exceedingly interesting leader on the
Ocean Yacht Race, pays the following we'll
merited compliments to Mr.. Bennett, owner
Of the Henrietta:
GAS the glory of the young man is his
strength, so does it add to the real worth of
nations to train up their youth to deeds of
gallant daring. Taking this view of the
contest, we must award the palm for pecu-
liar bravery to the owner of the Henrietta,
who gave the strongest possible proof of
his faith in his own staunch craft. The own
ers Of the other vessels risked merely their
yachts and their money, but Mr. Bennett
showed that he held his life no dearer than
those of the sailors he had asked to aid him
in guiding the Henrietta along her perilous
path There is kind Of poetic justice in
the race being won by the contestant who
staked the most in the issue. 1t was meet,
too, that his courage should be awarded by
an interview with the first lady in the
world-the beloved Queen of Mother
England and doubtless the young yacht
mans subsequent career will afford no
prouder moment than that in which he
stood, still covered by the spray of the
stormy Atlantic, in the Royal presence"
COMMERCIAL VALUE OF INSECTS. Great
Britain pays annually sl,000,O00, 900 for

is scarcely less valuable. More than L.
500, 900 human beings derive their sole sup
port from the culture and manufacture Of
the fbres spun by the silk worm Of which
the annual circulating mediup is said to be
$500, 900, 600 In England alone, to say
nothing of other parts of Europe, $780,
600 are spent every year in the purchase Of
honey, while the value of that which is ma
tive is not mentioned, and this is the work
of the bee. Besides all this, there are gall
nuts used for dyeing and making ink !;
cantharides, or Spanish fly, used in medi-
cine. In fact, every insect is contributing
in some way, in swelling our commercial

1 MILLIONAIRE PRIVATE.

In sketch of the life of Elias
Howe, Jr., the inventor Of the sewing
machine, we find the follwing Incl
dent:
At the moment when Mr.. Howe
had avowed his determination to en-
list, his coachman had entered the
building to witness the proceedings.
He was warm hearted Irishman,
named Michael Cahill, past age Of
military service as defined by law.
Upon hearing his employers speech
be rushed forward, and clambering
upon the platform, he cried out:
"Put down my name, too! I can't
bear to have the old man go alone. "
So down went the name of Michael
Cahill. coachman, next to that of
Elias Howe. Laughter and cheers
in al out equal proportions.
For four months after the Seven
teenth Connecticut entered the field,
Government Was so pressed for
money that no payments to the

troops could be made One day, a
private soldier came quietly to the
pavmaster's Office in Washington.
and as there were several
officers already there to be attended
to, he took his seat in corner to
await his turn. When the officers had
been disposed of, Col. Walker turn
ed to him and said;
Now, my man, what can do for

Ito see about the payment OF the

The paymaster. little iritated,
told him bluntly THAT a paymaster
could do nothing without money.
and that until the Government could
furnish some, it was useless for sol
diers to come bothering him about
the pay OF their regiments"
81 know" said the soldier, "the
Government is in straits, and / have
called to find out how much money it
will take to give my regiment two
months pay, and if you will tell me,
| ON ready to furnish the amount"
The officer stared with astonish-
ment, and asked the name of the sol
dier, who was no other than Elias
Howe. On referring to his books
Col. Walker found that the sum re-
quired was $4,000. Upon receiv-
ing the information, the private
wrote n draft for the sum, and re-
ceived in return memorandum GER
tifying the advance, and promising
reimbursement when the Government
could furnish the money.
Two or three days after, at Fair
fax Court House, the regiment was
paid. When Mr. Howe's name was
called, he went up to the psymaster's
desk, received twenty eight dollars
and sixty cents of his own money,
and signed the receipt therefore,

I'm of no use here; but never mind
when your time is out, come to me
at Bridgeport. I'm building

Many of his comrades took him at
his word, and until his death were at
work under him in various capeci-
ties.

4 ROMANCE OF THE Ballet.
New York Correspondence of the Cincinnati En-
qurer.
Last winter wealthy Cuban conceived
an extrayagant passion for quite a pretty
young woman dancing al leading Broad
way theatcr; wrote 10 her and solicited an
interview. He poured his passion out in
burning words, and offered To pour out bis
gold as freely; but she informed him, as
the celebrated English actress did her opu-
lent admirer, that the way 10 her bed
chamber lay through tbs church. He
sought 10 shake her resolution, but in vain,
and in despair OF possessing her otherwise,
he made her his wife. He tired of her In
few weeks, and AZ his relations were vio-
iently opposed to such an alliance, he soon
deserted her Snd returned to Havana.
Too proud to fJllew him, she went back
TO the stage, and during the month Of May
4 clsrk In u commercial house down town
fell in love with her, and went through the
same experience as the Spaniard. Hymen
before Venus with her; and so the young
fellow, with a degree of dishonor chsrae-
teristic Of an older head and cooler heart,
entrapped her into false marriage. His
employer accidentally discovered the de-
ception, because interested in his pretty
danseuse, and apprised her OF the clerks
villainy, assuring her ho should be CON-
PEELED to wed her, if she desired it, by pro-
cess of law.
Emeralda declined TO have anything
more 10 do with tho rogue, and released
him Internationally. The merchant was
80 much struck with the Womans spirit
and beauty that, although he knew she
had twice consented to marry in cold
blood, he proposed matrimOny 10 her, and
for the third time she accepted. Certain
legal steps are necessary before the last
nuptials can be consumnlateli: but her COM
mercial lover is desperately enamored OF
her. and has already placed her in a hand
some mansion, and made her deed ofthe
property, with $4,000 for pin money.
His friends are indignant, and aver that he
is infatuated. But he swears he loves her.
and will marry her as soon as practicable
She says she is deeply attached TO him for
his kindness TO and sympathy with her,
and is now leading very quiet and exem-
plary life.
Her .foncce is nearly forty. and has
long been sought as a husband in modish
circles 10 no purpose. His liver seems 10
have struck now; and there is little doubt
he will wed Emerslda this winter, and
snap his fingers at comment snd criticism.

Hundreds of thousands die every
autumn of three forms of disease
diurrhea, dysentery, and various
grades of fevers-but not one need
die; they arc avoidable diseases; their
causes being known, all that is re-
quired is to bring a very moderate
amount of intelligence to bear in
avoiding those causes. a baby will
avoid putting its finger in the candle
second time; it remains only to
grown up stupids to expose them
selves to the causes of disease year
after year and thus recklessly i'm
psril heslh and even lie itself.
The cause Of autumnsl diseases is
sn emSnAtiOn from the surface of the
earth IN those Localities where are
found in combination, heat, moisture
and vegetable matter, such rs leaves,
wood. DC, for heat of eighty degrees
combined with moisture induces de
cay, aud from this decaying substance
something arises which, if breathed
or otherwise taken into the system,
induces the disease sooner or later.
What this emanation is has hitherto
been merely conjecture, because it
was impslpaple, 50 like thin air that
the atmosphere which contained it,
when subjected TO chemical analyis,
yielded nothing beyond the constitu
ents of pure air. But within year
or two it has been ascertained that if
& qusntity OF air of a miasmatic 10
cslity is bottled up and conveyed to
a sleeping apartment, the person who
breathes it will, in short time, have
more or less decided symptoms of
fever and sguc; and on examining bis
saliva or the inside of his mouth, a
living. moving thingis clearly visible
with microscopic aid. Observation
and experiment have shown incon-
powerfully that there gre two ways of
escaping the i'll effects ofhaving these
living things in the system. Persons
must avoid living in localities where
the land is rich, fiat and moist. or they
must drain those lands; but it is pos
sible TO live in such places. and have
reasonably good health, simply by
keeping in the house Of mornings,
with q brisk fire until breakfast is
eaten, aud take supper at shutdown,
because it has been found that these
carnations are more poisonous at
sunrise and sunset, and that if the
stomach is excited TO action by the
process of digestion, the emanation
is rendered inocuous, perhaps from
the fact, i'll part, that the juices of the
stomach at the time of life of these
living things; but the fact remains
the same, whether this supposition is
true or not.
A practical use may be made of
this subject, in the light of these facts
in reference to breathing night air.
Very many advocate the raising of
windows in a sleeping apartment
summer and winter, all the year round.
The theory seems a good one, but ex-
perience viii not corroborate it.
Persons living on water courses,
where the "bottom lands" as they
are called, are rich, luxuriant and

The question we see again started
and pretty generally discussed, as to
the value of coal ashes as q fertilizer
Some writers declare that they have
derived benefit from their application,
while others who have experimental
with them say they could not perceive
any difference in the product where
they had been liborally used. On this
subject the Germantown Telegraph
says:

any fortilizing quality, but they are
valuable to apply to soils that are hea.

Acorn Quinsy in rIOgs.

The Dubuque Times says there has
been a number ofcases ofdiseaso among
hogs in that vicinity. 1t makes its
appearance in the morning, the symp-
tens being q great difficulty in breath
ing which increases rapidly, till IN two,
three or four hours the animal falls in
TO O sort Of fit, and dies in n short time.
The seat Of the disease appears to be
the throat, which sweils up and has an
inflamed or mortified appearance. Mr..
Hatch had some forty shoats running
in timber about his residence, out Of
which he lost six in thrss days, when
he began to think it was high time
that some remedy was applied. His
son lost three or four, and other neigh
bOrs were losing some of their hogs in
the same way.
The cause of the disease was unknown.
One man, O resident Of Pennsylvania,
stated that a similar disease was not
uncommon among the hogs Of that
country when allowed to run in woods
that it was supposed to originate from
q too exclusive diet of a%corns, and was
called acorn quinsy. This idea as TO
its u seemed to be borne out to
some extent by the fact that no hogs
that were kept up in the pen were at
tackled with the disease.
But the question as TO the cause of
the disease was Of far less consequence
than the cure, and this Nh, Hatch was
80 lucky as to find. 1t consisted of a
mixture, two.thirds tar and one-third
lard this was mixed with Indian meal
and the whole diluted with sufficient
milk to lure the palate Of the hog
Since the trial Of this remedy some
time since not a hog has died Of this
