Preclsely at tnlrCy-Eve minutes past ten the ciuD
nag On the steamer was dropped, to warn the yachts
to make all necessary preparations to start. Five
minutes afterward the nag was run up, which was
the signal for the schooners to 90 or minute later
for the FIST class soOps, and minute afterwards
for those OF the second class. On the whole the
start was well effected, and slight wind blowing
from the southwest added some vgOr to the scene.
The Adde v. rushed well up to the front, followed
by Alarm, Niagara, Agnes and Clytie the smaller
boats appearing TO quit their posts somewhat reuc-

favorable for yachting, and it need not be observed

In her wake the Clytie and few Others Of the 1rL

next class that displayed any symptoms of activity.

considerable speed, nov: now closely pursued by the

met with even worse accident in the breaking OF
the throat halyards, which also detained her consid

showed in front, while the Clytie Martha and Alarm
were making q gallant struggle in her wake. The
Lavne, with a few companions, kept to leeward.and
had some difficulty In gaining ground. The three
first boats were not much more than hundred

A Chimes. widow. Method In Her Sorrow

letter from Hong Kong gives the following
account of the conduct of a Chinese widow on
her way, by steamer, from San Francisco to
China. Her own explanation OF her apparent
devotion to the dear departed" is particularly
good:
Among our twelve or fifteen Chinese psssen-
gers was a disconsolate widow who had resided
10 California for fifteen years. bad accumulated
about $4,000, and having lost hsrlhusband by
death, was returning TO China to abide for the fu
ture with her old friends and kinsmen. She was
about forty years Of age, good looking when
considered from Chinese standpoint and being
rich would doubtless be considered good catch
by her cOuntrymsn. She had had the bones of
her dear departed" polished after the Chinese
style, boxed in a camphor wood trunk, and was
taking them with her to the Flowery Kingdom, in
order that they might be deposited in the joss
house alongside those of his ancestors. Every
day she would descend TO the hold of the vessel
where the remains were slowed and spend an
hour or two with the skeleton. muttering q mixed
sort Of prayer, while tears streamed from her
eyes. Her mummeres concluded, she would
come upon deck, smoke her cigar, laugh and chat
with her countrymen, as II she was the most light
hearted person in the world. One day, after she
had terminated her hours penance over the dry
bones of her skeleton husband, / asked her why
she said her prayers over him daily, and was not

Our Best Friend.

The authorship of the following besutiful hymn
of trust is unknown. It was found treasured up
in an humble cottage in England:
In the mid silence of the voiceless night.
When, chased by airy dreams. the siumbers fee,
Whom, in the darkness doth my spirit seek.
o God, but theel
And il there be a weight upon my breast
Some vague impression Of the day foregsne,
Scarce knowing what il is, ! fly TO thee
And lay it down.
Or II ii be the heaviest that comes,
In token of an icipsted i'll,
My bosom takes no heed Of what 1t is,
Since It's thy will.
For o in spite Of past and present care,
or any thing besides. how joyfuliy
Passes that almost solitary hour,
Ny God, with thee!
More tranquil than the stiffness OF the night,
More peaceful than the stiffness OF that hour,
More blest than anything, my bosom lies
Beneath thy power.
For what is there on earth that desire.
OF all that il can give or take from me!
Or whom in heaven doth my spirit seek,
o God, but thee .

Two SBRPENTs AND A CAT.-Singuldr Case
The Messsger Algerien relates the following Gu
Tious story:
very singular occurrence took place in the
warehouse Of the Messsgeries Imperisles at Stors.
A large case containing two serpents, directed
from Batna to the superintendent of the Zoology.
cal Gardens in Marseilles, was deposited In the
warehouse fer shipment. Whilst there a cat, ig
norant Of what the case contained, got into It.
No sooner had It done so than the reptiles sprsng
at it with the rapidity OF an arrow, and squeezed
II TO death in their immense coils. They then re-
Taxed their hold, and commenced the process of
swallowing. The male serpent seized the dead
cat BY the head end, the female swallowing the
tail end. IL IL well known that when serpents
take into their mouth q substance of certain
SIZE, the conformation of the teeth and Jaws is
ssck that they cannot let 60 their hold. In the
present case both snakes were thus brought face
TO face, the process Of deglutition was arrested.
and ii became doubtful how the matter would end.
At length the female snake made desperate
effort to swallow the other, and in doing SO was
choked. In corroborstion Of the above facts the
animals have been preserved in spirits OF wine.
The directors OF the Geological Garden OF Mar
settles are going to bring an action against the
Nesssgeries Company for the loss of the serpents,
whilst the owner OF the cat demands that its skin
at least should be given to him as Q matter OF
curiosity.

days, Except Tuesdays and Fridays, which are
cabinet days, when no visitors are admitted, y from
10 o'clock in the morning until in the afternoon,
when the doors are closed. Since the close OF the

with ofice-seekers and lobbyists and jobbers Of
all kinds, male and female-for lately the females
seem to predominant in this sort Of business-and
his time is completely occupied until late in the
afternoon, listening to the appeals Of the people.
One would suppose he would desire some relaxa-
tion, and would ride out in the afternoon to enjoy
the breezes. But no-before dark another set of
"callers" set in, and continue till 10 O'Clock at
right, and later. These come to have :" conf
