A Dull Clerk.

Pickcrncl, a successful dry good mcr-

hotel by gent!emau-tar who was de-
sirous of getting boy, for whom he was
guardian, a place. in Boston-oi course
he was an uncommon smart boy, quick at
t-uscs. strong Of intuition. and one every

Il merchant. Pickernel thought it over,
and said he would try aud make place for
him. In due time the boy arrived at Pick.

Pickerncl.

Th, boy came in. AMI. sitting down ON
the desk, swnn- his heels underneath it as
though he felt entirely at home, waiting
the questions.

"Wcll,' said he, "Im darned if !
blicve any woman ever wanted SO much

This was throwing up the sponge, and
Pickcrncl put another question.
- How much would five and halfpoundS
of tea come to at scvcnty-tiyc cents and
thrce-quarters per pound? -
lie received this pretty much the same
as the other, and after waiting Il minute,
he asked:
"Was it green or black tea? %
Without answering, p;ckcrncl put an
other question:
Suppose should send you out with a
two-dollar bill, and you should buy four
teen and half pounds of beef at seven
and a half ccntsa pound, how much money
would you have leit?"
The boy looked at him for an instant,
and then INDUCED in low whistle.
" You don't sposc," said he, "you could
get beef anywhere at seven and half cents

Pickcrnel gave up at this. He asked
him no more questions, but sent him back
next day with letter, stating that he
didn't think he would ans,ccr.

Dutch TAKING HoLLAND.-Thc On
ergy and enterprise of the Dutch is again
called into requisition. The latest enter
prise that calls FORTH their greatest energies
is nothing less than the draining of the
great Zuyder Zee. Asurvey has been made
of the vast inland body ofwater, and official
reports hold out the hope that it can be-
exhausted in nine or ten, or at thcfurthcst
in fourteen years. One enthusiast in en-
ginccring thinks that by steam power he
can drain it in eighteen or twenty mouths.
The bottom of the Zuyder Zee is found, by
repeated soundings and analysis or the mud
brought up by the instruments, to be COM
posed of clay, exceedingly susceptible of
agricultural improvement; and if the i'm
nenso undertaking now projected can be
accomplished, a large area, worth fifty mil
lion of dollars, will be added to the territory
of Holland.

A lively President.

John Quincy Adams was in the habit of
brcasting the billows when hc was Prcsi,
dent. Instead of going to fashionable
resort, he might be noticed very early I'M
the morning in the Potomac river amid a
''schooP of boys and youth, who took their
morning bath earlier than was their won't,
that they might swim With the President
OF the United States. 1t was with them as
with John Quincy's ancestor: "Sink or
swim, survive or PERISH" they were bound
to be afoat at that particular time. Adams
generally selected place near the Long,
Bridge (not Long Branch). The boysan-
noycd the long-boatmcn very much, seizing
the steering oar. etc., as the latter would
be rowing or polling their wood and coal
boats up the river, and they frequently had
to dodge pillcts of wood, which the vexed
river men would hurl at them. Adams
bald pate, meantime, would be bobbng up
and down in close proximity to these scenes
and on ono occa ion boatman SHE'D u
missile at him with an accompanying ad-
moniton to the old bald head " to get away
from there Mr.. Adams had a sort Of
weak ness for the water
On another occasion, in company with
his valet Ga Swiss, who had been with himf
in Europc,) he attempted to cross the Iu-
tomac in small skiff, to Mason's Island,
and when they were about in the middle of
the stream their craft began to leak rapidly.
Both were good swimmers, and they stripped
off nearly all their garments, and tied them
in bundles, to be ready for the threatened
emergency. ltsoon came. The skiff went
under, and its late occupants, each with
his bundle, spanel-likc between his teeth,
swan with the force of Leanders, toward
the nearest shore. But the swiftncss of
the current compelled them to drop their
packages, and they reached the muddy
shore of the island with but shirt and
pair of drawers between them Adams
stripped his remaining garment to add to
the wardrobe Of his valet, who thus cody
accoutcrcd fora summers day approaches

for himself and proceeded round by dis

suitable attire for the President and himself,
he took carriage and drove back to where
the future old man eloquent" had bcem'
stark naked for three hours, in Potomac
mud and water. At that time the newspa-
pers could not we'll report whether all was
quiet, or notice this ripple of the Potomac;
and bubble men then had not such pruri-
ency for notoriety, even when the jokes
were favorable This event was of course
unhercalled. The first thing President
Adams did on his return to Washington
was to purchase available gold watch for
his valet, to supply the place of Que which

ANIMALcULE.-If some hay is placed
in a glass Of pure rain-watcr, and allowed
to soak for few days in sunny place,
and if it be then removed. the water will
be found, under powerful microscope, to
contain many very small moving things,
which arc called infusoria. fromtheir being
produced after infusing the hay. The eggs
which were on the hay, bred there myriads
of small things, which often have a very
beautiful coat of transparent flint or SILICA
If the water is kept clean and is not allowed
to dccomposc or smell, generation after
generation of the infusoria live, die, and fall
to the bottom of the glass. They form Al
very delicate film there, and minute por-
ions of it, examined under h sht mag
nifying power, show the siliciou, skel-
etons Or shells very distinctly. Now many
strata in the earth are formed entirely Of
the remains of infusoria, and a very familiar
example is the Tripol-powder, from the
polishing slate of Bilin, in Bohemia. A
single grain of Tripoli- powder contains no
fewer than 1877 100000 of the transparent
finty skeletons of dead auimalcu'1; yet
the layers Of earth which arc made up of
them at Bilin extends for miles. In tho
harbor of Wiseuar, in the Baltic, they in
crease and multiply at great rate, for H.
496 cubic feet of mud are formed every
year there, and every grain of it contains
1000, ,000,0 900 of the beautiful silicious re-
mains of the infusoria. In the island Of
Barabadoes there is thick mass of the
most beautiful finty sea animalcule, and
they are in such numbers that it must be'
supposed the dead minute things were con-
stantly falling in showers from the sea to-
the bottom.

PACKING BABIES IN BRAN-Tn the
London Laacet lately appeared an account
OF custom that has obtained in French
village near Paris, of packing infants in
bran. n. Nj. Bourgeois, we are informed,
took it into his head that the cleanest and
hcalthicst way of managing infants was to
discard all the clothing peculiar to their
age in favor of bran, in which material
they were to be deposited for the night, or
whenever they slept. His theory has be-
come immensely popular. The Lancet
gives the following details: An ordinary
cradle is filed with common bran. A hair
pillow is put in, and then the bran is
moved aside with the hands until "hol-
low is made the size of the body The in
FAINT, divested of every thing below the
waist aud having little bodice or cap
above that, is then placed in the bran, and
its body completely covered with it. A
light coverlet is finally placed above all.
and baby is in bed for the MI ght. This
method is pursued from almost as soon as
infants are born until they are eight or
ten months old. In answer to inUuirers.
it was said that the two great advantages
connected with bran. were its peculiar
cleanliness, and the very cquablc and pleas
anttemperature which is maintained around
the infants body. The bran speedily alb
serbs fluids broughtin in contact with it, and
the moist portions get covered with dry,
so as not to become cold or unpleasant to
the chlld's skin. In the morning, when
the infant is taken out, all the soiled bran
Is easily removed, and replaced by fresh
an entirely new supply being required
once fortnight. The liability to irrita-
tlon, and other affections of the skin so
common to infants, where the strictcst at
tention to cleanliness is not maintained
are said to be unknown.

There is also great similarity between
the features of the Indian tribes of Mid
die and South America and those of the
Chinese, and, as Eaulay. the Chinese in
tcrpreter of whom We spoke above, states,
between the accent and most of the mono
syllable words of the Chinese and Indian
languages. Indeed, this writer gives a
list of words which point to close rela-
tonship; and iniers thcrcfrom that there
must have been emigration from China to
the American continent at most early pc
hist priests fourteen hundred years ago no.
ticc these things as existing already Per-
haps now old records may be recovered in
China which may furnish full particulars
of this question.
1t is at any rate remarkable and confirma-
tive of the idea of emigration from China
to America at some remote period. that at
Tie time of the discovery of America by
the Spaniarls the Indian tribes on the
coast Of the Pacific opposite to China, for
the most part, enjoyed state of culture of
ancient growth. while the inhabitants of
the Atlantic shore were found BY Euro
pcans in Il state of original barbarism. If
the idea of America having been discov-
cred before the time of Columbus be cor
rect it only goes to prove that there is
nothing new under the sun and that Shcl-
ley was right in his bold but beautiful
lines: Thou canst not find one spot where
on no city has stood Admitting this,

EDS. CHRONICLE On the night of the
9th, as the l0a p. NJ. train was passing
through our village, it gave chase to a
horse that was on the track. The horse
switched off at the depot, when the engine
came in contact with some cattle belong
ing to Mr.. John Z. Barnard, and ran over
two and killed them, and crippled another
one very bad, throwing the hind trucks of
the tender off the track and eight freight
cars, two of which were completely ruined.
The talk house and portion of the depot
platform were destroyed. Some $50 dam
age was done to freight, and 5000 loss to
the company. Fortunately no person was
hurt. Business is brisk. Wheat is com.
ing in rapidly; hops are light crop in
this county, not averaging over 500 lbs. to
the acre. They are bringing from II to
Is cents per pound. with the prospect of a
better price. 1t is thought by good judges
that there will not be over 10000 bales
in the State. Mr. d. R. Phelps of this
place has pat up a warehouse at Htlena
