Ga Saturday, June 20. while the ''Sea Gulp
was leaving the port OF Baltimore for this olty,
and wien of Locust Point, the man on the
lookout reported q boat ahead, which was &c
close aboard as not to be sesn from the pilot
house. AS precaut;ou, however, three OF
fur blasts wers blown with the steam whistle
the helm was put hard aport, and the Sea
/ Guin stopped. This, il appeared, did not
have the desired effect. for those in the boat
altered their course, and pulling back, brought
their boat o rain under the bow OF the 'Ssa
Gull,n at O time when supposed her to be
clear. Seeing the situation, and probably BE-
coming frightened, ono OF the two men IN the
boat Jumped overheard before coming in con-
tact with the steamer, and, as heyo been
informed, was unfortunately drowned. The
other, who remained In the boat. caught the

and while there 3 rope was hove over to him,
which be appeared not to notice, but letting
go, passed estern. and was taken off by ano-

{ A FEAT OF ENa1NERR1Na. We are
informed that the building of the
iron bridge over the Great Miami, on
the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, is
considered q rapid feat of railroad
construction. This structure requir-
ed the driving of 3, 600 piles, the lay
ing of 6,200 cubic yards of masonry,
the dredging of four difficult founda-
tions in quicksand, and the con-
struction and erection of $50 feet of
iron bridge in three spans, and
weighing 100000 pounds. The
first train crossed on the 18th of De-
cember last-just 120 days from the
time the first pile was driven, and
nine days and four hours from the
time the last stone was put in place.
The work was carried on night and
day, and telegraphic. communication
kept up throughout the whole of the
basin drained by the Miami, SO that
all storms were prepared for hours
before they or their effects reached
the bridge SITE The stone for the
mason work, which is all first-class
!ashlar. was yquarried 81 miles from
the bridge. The truss is the iron
Fink truss, and consists of three
spans 210 feet each.

the hot hours of the day, receiving his

Ina recent Washington letter, "Agate,"
tells the following story: cat an evening
reception lately given to the Chinese en-
bassy, it happened to me to be assigned
by the hostess to the duty Of trying to en-
terrain one of the young Pekin students,
in the supper-room. He touched the bar
barian dishes but sparingly, and converse
ton sprang up as to the difference between
Chinese and American cookery. At a sug-
gestion of the straits to which the embassy
would be reduced, if their Chinese cook
should die, and they should be compelled
to subsist on the ordinary hotel fare, he
exclaimed, Oh, we should soon grow very
thin-in fact we should starve.' Suddenly
it seemed"to occur to the young diplomat
that this remark might seem uncourteous,
and so he fastened to qualify it. But
there are some things which they cook
very nicely at our hotel. For example,
ice cream-they cook it very we'll"

How to Sleep in Church.

Assuming that it is duty, let us con-
slider the manner of performing it. Like
all other Christian practices there ought
to be uniformity in the manner.
FGrst-It is an improper manner OF
performing this duty to nod, and for the
plain reason that the worshiper attracts
too much attention. We are everywhere
taught to avoid ostentatious display in
our worship. The Pharisees were con-
demned for praying at corners of the
street, that they might be seen of men,
On the same principle, the nodding wor-
shipper is condemned, for he is making too
public display of his devotions.
iSecOnd-Nor is it proper to snore in the
performance of this duty-partly for the
foregoing reasons but mainly because it
is direct infraction of the golden rule.
Suppose, for instance, that your next door
neighbor is asleep by your snoring he
will be disturbed, probably awakened.
This is not doing unto others as you
would they should do to you.
IhtTd-It is wrong to injure ones
health while offering worship; and all
physicians admit that to sleep with the
head thrown back and the mouth wide
open is liable to produce sore throat and
hoarseness. Besides, flies sometimes get
into the mouth on such occasions and by
their injurious explorations tickle the deli
cate membranes and cause horrible ster-
mutations and coughing, which is very in
furious to health
F0urth-Tp sleep with head resting on
the arms of the worshiper, and the face
buried up in the cuffs of the coat, is the
most improper way of offering a sleep
worship. First, because it is also injuri-
Gus to health, and, mainly, because it is a
direct violation of the Scriptures which
command us to let our light so shine that
men may profit by our example In this
case it is impossible to know whether the
Christian worshiper is asleep or awake.
1t is a positive case of lukewarmness /;
neither the one thing nor the other

How to Make Spruce Beer.

AS THE season is here when pleasant
summer drinks, free from alcoholic int11-
ence, are frequently brewed by the house
wife, or the well brought UP daughters,
who ought to be taught little of every
thing in the way Of household duties-we
append the following recipes, taken from
an exchange, and which are claimed to be
excellent:
/. Take three gallons of water of blood
warmth, three half pints of molasses, a
tablespoonful of essence of spruce, and
the like quantity of ginger; mix well to-
gether with gill of yeast; let stand over
night, and bottle the morning. 1t will
be in good condition to drink in twenty
four hours. 1t is a palatable, wholesome
beverage.
2. Those who prefer mead have only to
substitute honey for the molasses named
above, and for one-third the ginger use
allspice. Half the quantity of yeast will
be sufficient, and the bottling should occur
the second day instead of the next
morning. 1t will be fit to drink in four
days after being bottled, and will keep for
many weeks. A small quantity of alcohol
is formed during the fermentation, and
this prevents the acetous fermentation so
common to spruce beer. The essence OF
spruce is of course left out in the making
OF mead. The alcohol formed from the
fermentation Of honey resembles that
found in methegz6n, while the alcohol
formed from the fermentation of molasses
is ratno. Those who imagine that they can
make either spruce beer or mead without
entirely forming any alcohol are mis-
taken; but it is present in so slight pro-
portion as not to be sensible to the most
delicate temperance nerves.

A Horse Bath.

In recent number Of the IuqJ, Field
and Farm was communication suggest
ing that bath, after the manner of the
Turks, would be an excellent thing for
fitting horses for hard service. Its effects
on the human system have been satisfac-
torily tested, and as there is good deal of
the human about the horse, it is inferred
that the influence of the bath may prove
equally as beneficial to the quadruped as
to the biped 1t is possible that the bath
may be made available for the cure of
many diseases of the horse which are now
regarded as beyond the control of ordinary
medicinal agencies. At all events, while
using the bath preparatory to contests OF
speed, it might not be amiss 70 subject
some of the crippled or ailing of the family
to similar treatment. What is good for the
health and vigor of the sporting animal
can scarcely prove otherwise than useful
to the roadster or farm drudge suffering
from the effects Of over exertior or general
harsh usage.-Rurdl Neao YORKER.
