A REAL 1IERo-A ScENEAT SEA.-Two
weeks ago, on board an English steamer,
little ragged boy, aged nine years, was
discovered on the fourth day of the out
ward voyage from Liverpool to Now
York, and carried before the first mate,
whose duty it was to deal with such Ca
scs. When questioned as to the object OF
his being slowed away, and who brought
him On board, tile boy, who had bca' IT,
full sunny face, and eyes that looked like
the very mirrors of truth, replied that his
steptather did it, because he could not al
forl to keep him, nor to pay his passage
out to Halifax, where lie had an aunt who
was well off, and to whose house he was
going. The mate did not believe the story:
spite of the winning face and truthful &C
cents of tho boy. lie had seen too much
of stow aways to be easily deceived by
them, he said and it was his firm convic-
ton that the boy had been brought on
board and provided with food 10y the sail
ors. The little fellow WAS very roughly
handled in consequence. Day by day he
was questioned and requcstioncd, but al
ways with the same result. He did not
know Il sailor on board, and his father
alone had secrctcd him, and given him the
food which he ate.
At last the mate, wcaricl by the boys
persistence in tho same story, and per-
haps little anxious to incrlpatc the sail
ors, seized him one day by the collar, and,
dragging him to tho fore. told him that
unless he confessed the truth in ten min.
utes from that time he would hang him
to the ward arm. He then made him 81,
down under it on the deck. All around
him were the passengers and sailors Of
the midday watch, aud in front of him
stood the incxorablc mate, with his chro-
nomctcr in his hand, and the officers OF
the ship bv his side. 1t was the finest
sipht. said our informant. that wc had cv-
or bchcld-to see the pale, proud, sorrow
full face of that noble boy, his head erect,
his beautiful eyes bright through the tears
that suftused them When eight minutes
had fled tho matc told him he had but
two minutes to live, and advised him to
speak the truth and save his life; but he
replied, with the utmost simplicity and
sincerity, by asking the mate if he might
pray.
The mate said nothing, but hooded his
head and turned as pale as u ghost, and
shook with trembling like reed with the
wind. And there, all eyes turned on him,
this brave and noble little fellow, this poor
waif whom society owned not, and whose
own steptathcr could not care for him
there he knell, with clasped hands and
eyes upraised to heaven, while hc repeat.

Our informant adds that there then oc-

face death and be willing to sacrifice his
life for the truth of his own word.-Ne0

The Empress Carlotta.

/ From the Newark Advertiser.
One of the Brussels journals gives some
interesting detaiIs regarding the condition OF
the unfortunate widow Of the Emperor Max.
imiIian. She still resides at the chateau OF
Terveuren, and is closely watched in the long
walks she is in the habit of taking in the
park, as she has several times eudeavered to
deceive the vigilance OF her keepers. This
constant supervision snuoys her greatly, and
she sometimes breaks out into violent fits
of passion. She passes considerable por
ton of her time in the telegraph office at
Terveuren, and is continually sending tele.
grams to the European Sovereigns to com.
plain of the restraint in which she is kept
These dispatches are sent off in her presence
TO the Court of Brussels, aud she will not
quit the office until she receives the Answers.
One Of the most curious features OF the
mental condition of the unfortunate Princess
is her popularity of refusing TO sit down at
table TO take her meals The officer on
duty, who generally dimes with her, is obliged
to eat on the corner Of the chimney piece
and she herself will only eat from dist
when some one has tasted it in her presence
Her fixed idea is that people are always try
ing to poison her. She passes agtatsd nights
and it is ONLY toward morning that she OBJ
tans few hours Of peaceful sleep But
FOR the energy Of her organization she would
never be able to resist the fatigue conse
auent upon the feverish excitement under
which she is always laboriug.

To Boil PoTAToEs WITH THE SKINS on
After the potatoes are thoroughly washed and
little of the skins taken off at the ends,
place them in kettle Of boiling water, al
lowing no more water than is sufficient 70
cover them. They should boil slowly, as the
agitation of water in rapid boiling disso lives
aud breaks the potatoes before they are done,
and leaves them insipid aud moist lhey
are better left uncovered to boil, aud there
should always be vessel of hot water, from
| which the kettle may be repenished in case
there is rapid evaporation from the state OF
the atmos phere. A pot with the top drawn
in is better for boiling potatoes than VIDE
topped vessel. he water should be poured
from them before they are done to the cen,
ter. A few spoonsful Of cod water should
then be added, and then the vessel placed
upon the ho, part Of the stove with clean
napkin thrown over until the potatoes are
wanted. If the best potatoes canuot be 90
| tanned others are really fit to cat when abor'
half done pour out the water: add colo ""'e''
but not enough to come to the to- o' 'he po'
tatoes aud finish boiling andeeahhinR as "
| fore. A close cover should never he pi"ctu
over potatoes after cooking, either III the
| ka,tle or on the table. After potatoes hre
about half boiled, for variety they are very
n;ce finished off in the oven either with the
,kins on or after removing them They vii

The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore gazette writes as follows: "Some
weeks ago, the radical journals were filled
with laudations of Postmaster General Cres'
well. His labors were pronounced truly
wonderful The number of removals end
appointments was not easily computed. Hon,
dreds of old routes were discOnunuedt and
hundreds of new oues established. Now We
begin to see the result Of this HercuIean la
Dor. FROM every quarter come complaints
of irregularities in the mails. They ar
either behind time or iaii altogether Mon
ey letters turn up missing more frequently
than ever before This is not to be won
dered at. The route agents, p0stmasters
and mail agents, displaced to make room
for men of deeper political dye had become
familiar with their business, and the blach
sheep had, for the most part been expoSet
and efted out. The new appointees were
only required to be ultra radical IN their pc
ltical views. No other test was applied; nc
oiher qualification demanded. Of necessity
many hundreds have been placed in charge
Of the United States mails who are notori
ousy unfit for the responsibility; and hence
the irregularities in the postal service, which
inhict losses on many persons, and annoy
most every one throughout the length and
breadth of the country. Mr. Creswell hal
aimed to make the postofiice department {
mere political machine; and the result i
now seen. Secretary Boutwell, has made
the treasury department political machine
aud the numerous exposures of late frauds il
high and low places show that with him, as
with Mr.. Creswell, moral character and bus

Of the West and Northwest are completely
Gathered Thus what we call "harvest' in
this latitude is entirely over by tho middle
of September when cotton picking IN the
South has not fully begun, and cane'gather'
ing ia still month distant. 1t occurred 10
Southern planters that the laborers who had
finished the harvest in the West might be
employed to assist in securing the crops al
the South, and q number OF them came to
this state in October TO look for hands. They
sncceeded beyond their expectations, ana
returned with a force Of industrious laborers
