CARRYING AWAY The ToPMAsTs. A
Nantucket correspondent OF the AncJl-
can JRi0n tells the following:
[ was much amused by sell perpetra-
ted by shipmate Of mine, Joe Rawson,
upon clerk 10 a well-known Quitting
house in New Bedford The ship, Man
uel ORTIZ, had sailed the afternoon before,
and it had been busy time with the
firm IN question and their employees.
Now that the ship was fairly at sea they
all breathed freely; for they had seen
ell their men on board, and held the
agent S acceptances for their respective
bills, which, In the aggregate, footed up
a pretty round sum. 1t had blown a
fresh breeze during the night, and in The
forenoon Joe and | str He'd In the store
aud sat smoking. while Hiram, the head
clerk, was very busy aG the desk with an
array of papers spread before him.
Zoo bad about the Manuel ORTIZ, !"
said Rawson, at the same time giving me
nudge and a wink.
why, what about her ?" inquired
Hiram, wheeling around on his stool so
as to face the speaker.
Why haven't you heard the news2
She c.trrrlcd away all three topmasts
last night.
How do you know ?''
s.Well, | soio her buc. ling to it in a
smart squall when she was gong down
the bay, and this morning [ saw old
West, the pilot that took her out.
Y on don't mean to say that she is
putting back iaio port?'
Can't say about that
'''fhere II be confounded bother if ali
those fellows get foot on shore again. p"
said the clerk in tone of vexation. He
had by this time dismounted from his
tripod and seized his overcoat.
Il must find out the rights Of this
Strange ,0e hadn't heard of it before
He started under considerable excite
ment for the door, but just as ne was
opening it my chum hailed him:
Here, come back Hiram don t
think there is any necessity for her put
ting back to port. -
Shed be likely to if the report is
true, - said the clerk.
''Oh its perfectly true. For that mat
ter, | swear 70 it myself that she carried
d,oag all her topmasts. What in thun.
der do you suppose she did with them
Let Hcia on tie acitd.J 2"
Hiram stood the roar Of laughter with
good grace, and stood treat all around,
acknowledged that the sell was the neat
est one he ever had played upon him.

The CAUSE OF CHAIN LIGHTNING
In discourse recently read before The
Royal Academy, by DR.. W. +. Grove. it
was stated and proved by experiment.
that the effects Of rare faction upon gases
either as produced by the air pump or
by heat, tend TO render discharges of
electricity more iacile, and 20 enable them
TO pass across much larger spaces than
would otherwise be the case. So stlik-
ingly was ihis evinced with fame, that
when the fame Of spirit lamp was held
near one OF the terminal points Of coil
apparatus, the terminals being separated
TO distance far beyond that at which
the spark would pass In cold air, the
spark darted to and along the margin OF
the fame, and could be curved or twisted
about in any direction, at the will of the
experimenter, giving a perfect illustration
OF the crooked form Of lightning, and Of
the probable reason why it does not pass
In straight liues-the teri perature Of the
air being different a. different points in
Its passage, and much oc this variation
of temperature being in all probability
occasioned by the mechanical efforts Of
the discharge itself upon the air.

1t has been well said, That beneath
what every man SAYS he believes. and
beneath what he thinks he believes, lies
what he really does believe.
Three things ouly are essential to hap
piness, namely: Something to do; some
thing to love; and something to hope
for.
Those who know the world will not be
bashtul, and those who know themselves
viii not be impudent.
