HoME.-How few men have homes. Most
have some place where they sleep and take
their meals where their wife and children
live, but it is q boarding and lodging house,
not home. Home is where the heart Is,
and the heart of too many men Is away from
their hearth-stone, not near II. Recently,
not thousand miles away, man was kept
in by the terrific storm. His business was
in no wise urgent. He could stay with his
family just as well as not; but the hours
long before nightfall were intolerable. The
children made noise; his good wife want
ed some little things done for the comfort
of the household, and more than that she
wanted to sit BY his side for one week day
hour, and talk as they did before they were
we'd
Alas, for the womanl Those days will
never come. Your husband will come to
his home to eat and to die, but at no other
time. His fellowship is with men In the
shop, the counting-room, perhaps the saloon,
not with you.
Where Is the trouble? Sometimes with
the wife. No man can live with disorder,
with mismanagement, with fretfulness, with
fault-indiDg, with complaining, and be
happy. He will have peace, if not in the
right place, in the wrong one. Many times
with the husband. Men think too much Of
business, too little of their families. The
right order is reserved. In the middle Of
the night, waking, men ask, "how soon
will ii be morning, so that can 90 to the
mill, or store, or Officer "How soon will
night bring me to the brightest spot on
earth 81 The world is full of sorrow, but
there would be far less if each husband and
wife did what they could and all they could
to give to the other Home.

TAHITL-Under the head Of uCommerce
of Tahiti the principal Island OF the Society
group, some interesting particulars are given
OF its condition. The financial condition Is
represented as being excellent; the returns
from taxes and customs showing q, ,967 francs
over the estimates. The French Government,

fercd a free passage, and in the event Of those
going not liking the change, a free passage
was provided back. The scheme failed, and

5000 tons. The system Of public instruc-
tiOn has made no progress for the last two
years. The Catholic school at Papeete con-
tanned 2Sf scholars; the Protestant, 24S; and
the other districts Of Tahiti, 100. A report
upon these schools says that in reading,
writing, and the first four rules 10 Arithme-
tic, the Ignorance OF the pupils was lamenta-
bic. Ii appears difficult to overcome their
natural Incidence of character. Two cotton
cleaning mills have been erected at Papeete,
which sent to France, last year, q, rs kilo-
grammes of cotton. There are $500 acres
altogether in cultivation on the Island Of
Tahiti, of which 100 acres are devoted TO
cotton; 300 to cane, and the rest TO coffee,
arrowroot, cocoa, yams, maize, etc. Coffee
is failure. Taken altogether, considering
the length Of time the French have had su-
preme command in the Islands, their pro-
gress is not very striking, snd 1t seems that,
after all, Tahiti will never make the place it
was anticipated. d.-BritiSh Coioaist

The MORMON NURSERY IN WALRs-Ths
following appears In the {hR MaR Garsffs: !:
I'VE recorded the other evening q stray
piece Of news which probably attracted little
attention In England, but which, II it fell
into the hands ofa quick American writer,
might be made the basis Of a very interesting
work. As Il Is very short we may venture
10 repeat IL: six hundred and ilfly Mormon
enigrants sailed from Liverpool on Saturday
for the Salt Lake by the way Of New York.
A large proportion Of the emigrants were
women Any American bookmaker who
wished to do clever thing bad only to 70 to
Liverpool after reading this paragraph and
there make inquiries about the Mormons-
He would probably be referred to Wales,
and Ii he persned his journey thither he
would soon discover that he had hit upon the
large training ground of Mormondom. He
would dnd that ue rear the followers OF
Brigham Young and that America gets tho
credit of them. A thrilling picture Of the
frightful state Of social life In Great Britain
might be drawn from the presence among
nsafiefi 81 9AS SHftAr. Xfi1naiaiid 'Thsn SAT-
Lake or Oneida Greek Is TO any thing which
deserves to be called sAmerican,' and an
enterpTising traveller, gifted with 1.-the and
sinevy style, might easily delude a portion
of his countrymen into the belief that the
Mormon narsery in Wales can be safely taken
as an example OF the relations which exist
between the sexes all over the country. II
he did this, and did IL well, he would deserve
to be considered 4 very smart man, for--to
use common phrase-he would have paid
US back In our own coin. We send ship
loads of Mormons 10 America and then write
books to prove that Mormonism Is the natu-
ral fruit Of the loose principles which pre-
vail in America

THE OLDEST PORTER IN SAN Francisco
1t is well known that in the early days of
San Francisco, say from lSi9 to 1859, hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth of
goods, in perfect condition, but for the time
being unsaleable in the market, were pitched
overheard from vessels in the harbor, the
owners not caring to pay wharfage or storage
on them. Fifty tons Of tobacco, more or
less, went into the mud along the edge Of
the Bay, between the corners Of Montgomery
and Sacramento, and California and Sansome
streets, and a year or two since excavations
made near the latter point disclosed regular
strata of that now valuable material some
distance below the pavement of the street.
The dredging along the city front, outside
the seawall, will ultimately turn up some
curious relics Of the old flush times Of Cali
fOrnia- Yesterday, the dredging machine,
which is at work under the direction Of the
State HarbOr Commissioners, on the line of
Front St, between Vallajo and Union sts,
brought to the surface a eask of bottled
porter, evidently Of English or Scotch man
ufacture, from depth of ten feet under the
mud and twenty feet below lcw-water mark.
The cask was so decayed that il fell to
pieces, and portion of the bottles went out
into the Bay, but several dozens were saved
The labels had of course disappeared years
ago, and the corks not being branded, ii was
impossible to ascertain the makers name
but the porter was in as perfect condition as
when it was first bottled, and in fact superior
to any to be obtained at this time In the
market, as a reportoFial test which we made
fully demonstrated The cask had evidently
been thrown or lost overheard from some
vessel lying at or near Cunningham's old
wharf, and people familiar with the history
Of the harbor say that IL must have been "
iDg in its coy bed for at least sixteen years,
no vessels having been there since 1852.

MECHANICAL sKILL.-A singular instance
OF me chanical skill is given in Paris jour
nal. A young man about eighteen years old
not long ago was sentenced to FIVE years,
imprisonment for theft. He belonged TO a
respectable family, and his conduct In prison
was exemplary. A few weeks since he
begged the director, one day, to tell him
what o'clock it was that he might set his
watch" You have a watch, then :" asked
the Director" Only since yesterday, sir"
said the prisoner, and, to the astonishment
Of the director, produced one made Of
straw! The little masterpiece is two and Q
half inches in diamter, about one-half Of an
inch thick, and will 90 for three hours with
out winding up. The dial-plate is Of paper,
and pretty little straw chain is attached TO the
whole. The instruments the prisoner had
at his command were two needles, q pin,
little straw, and thread. Several persons
of distinction, moved by his surprising
genius for mechanics, are now endeavoriDg
TO obtain his Liberation.

UNIFIcATIoN OF CoINAGE.-Senator Nor
gan, of the Finance Committee, has submit
ted his views against the bill recently report
ed by Senator Sherman, from that Com
mittee, for monetary publication according
to the plan agreed upon by the Conference
held in Paris. Among other objections to
the plan, he states that the reduction which
this measure would effect in the present
legal standard value Of the gold coin of the
United States would be at the rate of three
and half dollars in the hundred, and the
reduction in the legal value of our coinage
would be still more considerable. A change
in our national coinage so grave as that
proposed by the bill should be made only
after the most mature deliberation- The
movement proposed in the bill appears to
be in the wrong direction. The standard
value of gold coin should be increased,
brought up to our own rather than lowered
The reason should be obvious. Authorities
unite in the conclusion that fall in the
value of the precious metals in consequence
of their rapidly increasing quantity, is inc
vitable. Unification to be desirable must
be universal. If the nation were compare
lively free from debt Congress might with
some propriety consider the question of
changing the legal standard of coin. But
one effect of reducing il as now proposed
would be to deprive the public creditor of
nearly hundred million dollars of bis right
fui due. In the estimation ofthe Committee,
such q proposition ought not to be enter
tanned by Congress.
II is proper here to say that the delegate,
Mr.. Ruggles, who favors unification, has at
no time thought it just to lower the value of
our coin without making proper allowance
to the holders of several forms of national
obligations. To be acceptable, change in
our coinage must be thing of clearly OBJ
vious advantages, and must proceed from the
people. There has, however, been no pop
ular expression in favor of the proposed plan,
nor, indeed, any voluntary action in that
direction whatever, on the part of financial
men either in this country or elsewhere.

CATTLE DIsEAsE.-A disease Of cattle has
made its appearance in Western United

Texas. The symptoms are thus described:
The symptoms Of attack are in all instances
the same First the milk begins TO fail.
Then the animal droops its head near the
ground, the ears also drooped and moved
with apparent pain-the head when oppor-
tunity offers, Is pressed against any hard or
cold substance. About the second day Of
the attack trembling Of the tanks, and short
and hard breathing ensue the animal becomes
very weak and its legs bend and are unsteady

TnR SToSEwAIL-Tns FsH Ns1 Ga-rtts
explains the manner Of how this ship got to
sea despite the French authorities.
II win be remembered OF the six vessels
built for the Confederstes, the Soaesal1 was
the only one which escaped the vigilance of
the French Government and the American
Minister and was delivered 10 the South
erners- Maitre Lecan explained how this
WAS effected, and exeulpated that most inno-
cent Of shipbuilders, NJ. Arman. When
the French Government refused to allow
guns to be placed on board bis vessels. Can
tain Bullock proposed to NJ. Arman that
they should be sold TO a third power.
Denmark, then al war with Prussia, was in
want of ram" and proposed to pur-
chase the SOasaoaR, but to blind the Prns-
sian authorities 4 treaty Of sale was signed
with the master of tue Kings hounds In the
kingdom Of Swedenl Mr. Dayton still sus-
picious, wrote to Sweden for information,
and the purchase of the vessel was denied
BY Court Manderstrom. The American
Minister informed Nj. Drouyn de Lhuys that
take" en-" 6y Denmark were almost betrayed.
After a great deal Of bother the Stonewall,
or Stoer-Koder, as she then was, got under
way with \ French crew ON board, and reach
ed Copenhagen. The French crew returned
home. Denmark no longer required the
ram, aud asked for reduction OF e12,
600, whichM. Arman would not make; he
demanded payment in full or that the con-
tract should be 2nnulled- The contract
was annulled, and just then Captain Bullock
9sppeared and claimed his vessel What
could NJ. Arman, who sold the vessel to
Captain Bullock, do. Could he prescribe TO
Captain Bullock what he should do with his
ships? Was he bound TO warn the Ameri-
can? The snip left Copenhagen with Danish
crew, and was handed over to the Confsde-
rates in French waters. This was the only
vessel which escaped, and 1t was afterward
delivered up to the United States by the
Spanish authorities in the HAVANA, with
out having effected single capture, and
was sold TO the Japanese for :, 10000 francs.
Such is the story Of the SonesrdH, as related
by Maitre Lecan. 1t is only fair to NJ. Ar
man TO add that the charge of accepting
double payment has been disproved; he
returned the money paid to him by the Con-
federate agent, and when the Peruvian Gov
yernment paid higher price than the orr
ginal contract, he divided the profits with
Captain Bullock. Mr.. Berger has yet to
reply for the United States.

SEAMAssHIP.-After leaving New York the
first land seen was Watlinis Island, when
about to enter the channel at the east end Of
Cuba, the gateway to the Caribbean Sea
The ''laBd falr' proved to be exact, not
wifhstanding the canopy Of clouds which
obscured observations every day. Strange,
indeed, to landsmsn, is this feat Of striking a
mark bIindfolded at distance so great. But
a sailor knows where he is almost intuitively,
precisely as a man who rides up Broadway
every day in an omnibus knows when to
pull the strap, no matter how intensely en-
gagged In reading his newspaper. The yete-
ran commander of the Guiding Star, Captain
z HoEes, once performed an exploit Of this
kind which is worth telling. Sailing from
Valparaiso for San Francisco, distant about
500 miles, without obtaining glimpse Of
land until nearing his destination, he at last
sounded in thick fog, touched bottom at
forty fathoms, cast anchor, and when the
fog ifted found himself directly opposite
the desired harbor This might be called
"drawing 4 bow at a venture" but the
achievement was something more.-Cor.
