Singular PhanomauoB

A circumstance has occurred in India
which requires the explanation of the learn
ed. The Central India Times states that a
strange phenomenon has lately presented
itself in the Chanda district, at the village
of Warrora. On the 23d of February last,
when an endeavor was being made to emp
| ty reservoir connected with tank at that
place, on opening the drainage pipe it was
| found that the water would not flow. To
ascertain the cause of the obstruction, the
reservoir was pumped dry, and it was dis
covered that q solid mass of ice, some three
feet in length, had been formed COM
pletely choking the mouth of the pipe
When removed it appeared Opaque
somewhat similar to machine made
ice. The Inspector of Police, Mr.. Lima,
was present, and saw the block of ice cut
out, and the Deputy Commissioner, Major
Lucie Smith, arrived some two or three
hours afterward, but in time to see some of
the unmelted fragments still remaining.
The soil under which this phenomenon oc-
Cured is the common black loan of TIE
Deccan Cotton soiD, the piping of ordinary
potters clay, cemented to the ,ints with a
composition of lime, linseed Oil and cotton,
pounded up together, and the protecting
masonry of the indigenous sand stone and
mortar. The water in the reservoir and
pipe had remained perfectly still for about
six months previously, the pipe having
been closed during that period. It is
scarcely necessary to say that the tempera-
ture at Warrora never at any time even ap-
preached free zing point.

A Brave Female Detective Makes an
Arrest


Yesterday there was an affair on Penn
avenue which, for the first time, created
quite an excitement, and which is not end
ed as yet. We learn that Lieut. Emmett
was passing down on Penn avenue, when
he met Mrs. Cantwell, a woman who has
gained some celebrity in our city as fe-
male detective. Mrs. Cantwell informed
the Lieutenant that boy, named Michael
Calhan, who had lately escaped from the
House of Refuge, was secreted in an alley
near the Twelfth ward station house. Mr..
Emmett, at the time, was bearing some
news of the oil confagration to the fire
alarm telegraph station, and directed Mrs
Cantwell to secure the youth and hold
him, and he would send an officer to
convey him to the Twelfth ward station
house. The female detective proceeded to
the spot where the boy was secreted, and
took possession of him. She brought him
from the alley out to Penn avenue and was
taking him to the station house, when four
young roWdies appeared upon the scene
and demanded that the woman should re-
lease her hold upon the boy Of course
she refused, when one of The rowdies
struck her blow in the face. Still she
held on to her prisoner and proceeded to-
ward the station house. She had just
started from the crowd when another
young rowdy approached her ard struck
her on the head. At this moment Mrs
Cantwel drew a revolver and struck her
assailant blow on the face which made
him sneeZe, and then threatened to shoot
any one who would interfere with her
Just then Officer Steinbaugh appeared
upon the scene, and, strange to say, al
though he was dispatched by Lieutenant
Emmett from the 18th ward station house
to assist Mrs. Cantwell in arresting the
boy Calhan, he at once captured Mrs G. i,
and released the young prisoner. The
crowd cheered, and the officer in turn ar
rested the female detective and brought
her to the lookup as a prisoner. Lieuten-
ant Emmett OPPORTUNITY happened to be
present, and explained how that the officer,
Steinbaugh, had arrested the very detec-
tive whom he had received instructions to
assist. Mrs Cantwell was, of course, in
stantly released, and to day there will be
an investigation by Mayor Brush into the
singular conduct of Officer Steinbaugh.-

How They Know the Yankee.

An American tells this story of his for
eign experience:
One day last fall, in company with an
eminent clergyman of London, I was max
ing my way toward the Thames tunnel,
when we were stopped by an Inherent ven
der of pictures, who seemed to know my
companion:
''Buy some of these pictures of the pub
lie buildings of London, sir, said he, 'fand
you can give them to your American friend
to take home with him"
was in hurry, but my wonderment
would have stopped me if had been run
ming to fire.
'How in creation did you know was an
Americana asked.
'Why, [ couldn't mistake that" the pic
ture seller replied, with a quiet laugh.
You're American all over"
purchased picture and then asked him
to explain himself
81 would know you by your soft beaver
hat, he said. ''Ibat is an American fash
| ion"
"Well-if it were not for that?"
| He glanced down at my feet
"Your boots would betray you. Nobody
but Americans wear square toes"
"Well-what else? ?"
''Your chin whiskers. Englishmen al
ways wear mutton-chop style.
'Well-anythin more"
eff you won't be offended, sir %
t'Not at all; am seeking for informa-
tion."
81 should know you by your thin, peak
cd face"
''Well, my friend said, T., fancy you
are at the end of your catalogue now. Sup
pose that [ wore stiff high-crowned hat,
round-toed boots, mutton-chopped whis-
kers, and had face as red and chubby as
any in Britain-would you be able to know
me for an American face?"
Certainly [ should, as soon as [ heard
you speak," the fellow triumphantly an
swered. 'You Americans invariably COM
mence every sentence with we'll"
My English friend laughed long and loud
at the mans adroitness.
81 believe he is more than half right, F" he
said. ''See if your nationality is not de-
tected everywhere you 60"
It was even so. In Paris l was impor-
tuned to buy photograph of Lafayette,
because he was ''ze friend of re Ameri-
cans;" in Genoa dirty vagabond was
clamorous to exhibit to me the house where
Columbus was born, because he discover
ed the ''signor's great countree;" and et
Alexandria the climax was capped by rag
little descendant of the Pharaohs, who
besought me to Toxic ride on his donkey.
''Strong donkay-fast donkey-nice Yam
kee Doodle donkey !" with his irl esistible
appeal in the only English words he knew.

Characteristic Sayings of Americans.


A list of the best remembered and most
characteristic sayings of Americans was
given in the Post two or three weeks since.
To that list the Boston Transcript adds the
following:
Josiah Quincy, Jr., in his observations
on the Boston Port bill, in 1774, said
Establishments will not fascinate us, nor
will threats of halter intimidate.
Mr.. Jefferson, in one of his inaugurals,
said: Error of opinion may be tolerated
where reason is left free to combat it"
Benjamin Franklin, as Poor Richard,
said: ''God helps them that help them
selves" and ''1hree removes are as bad as
a fire."
William Cullen Bryant, in his ''Forest
Hymn, writes:
''The groves were Gods first temples"
Whittier, in s'Maud Muller" writes,
s'F or of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these, ut might have been.''
John Trumbull wrote in ''McFingal:"
''No man e'er felt the halter draw,
With good opinion of the law"
James Russell Lowell, in s'The Capture, ~
said: ''Before man made rs citizens, great
Nature made lis men"
Daniel Webster, on the 18th of July,
1850, said: 81 was born an American;
live an American; | shalt die an Ameri-
can"
Jonathan NJ. SewaIl, in an epilogue to
Cato, hundred years ago, wrote:
'sNo pent-up Utica contracts your powers,
But the whole boundless continent is yours
Oliver Wendell Holmes. IL the ''Auto-
crat of the Breakfast Table, wrote the fam
GUS words: s'Boston State House is the
hub of the Solar System. You couldn t
pry that out of Boston man if you had
the tire of all creation Strengthened out for
crowbar.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said:
'sOut from the heart of Nature rolled
The burdens of the Bible Old"
In Mr.. Emerson's hymn, sung at the
completion of the Concord monument, are
the lines:
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard found the world
Lydia Maria Child, in her historical no,
vel, "The Rebels" makes James Otis, in
suggestions speech, say: England may
as well attempt to dam up the waters OF
the Nile with bulrushes as to fetter the
step of Freedom"
Rufus Choate, in speaking of the Puri-
tans, in New England address, said
s'There was State without king or mobiles
there was a Church without bishop"
William L. Marcy, in his speech in the
United States Senate in 1882. said: 'They
see nothing wrong in the rule that to the
victors belong the spoils"
Washington Irving, in the 'tCreole Vii
lage," speaks of 1.-The Almighty Dollar, that
great object of universal devotion through
out our land"

The Uneven Development Of the Sides.
+ha of


AS civilization advances, the right hand
and side are very apt to become larger and
stronger than the left, and in many per-
sons the excessive development of this
side is so great as to be detormity and
disease. u is only among those classes
whose labor is rude. and can be done about
as well with one hand as with the other,
that the sides are nearly evenly developed.
Artists, and people whose lives are seden-
tary, invariably become one-sided, unless
they are very robust and pay careful atten-
ton to physical culture. Perhaps our
readers have not given very much thought
to the matter, but q moments reflection
will convince them that the right hand does
more than its share of the worlds work
If two are riding together, the driver sits
on the side which enables him to use the
right hand the most freely. The right
hand carries most of the food to
the mouth. Our plows are right
handed, and SO are our screws, gimlets,
shears and pens. Our coats button
on the right side. We carry the pen
the whip, and the pencil, in the right hand
we fence and box with the right hand
using the left only for lighter work. We
almost invariably take hold of any object
that We wish to handle with the tight hand
HrSl SANaSes 90 hot, cullOTou 10 HOl, Dul
the latter soon learn to prefer this hand for
the principal work Left-handed people
are scarce. The hereditary tendency to
ght-handedness is so well established by
habit and descent that this will no doubt
always continue to be the case. There is
no physiological objection to it, except
where the habit of using the right side ia
excess produces deformity, weakness and
disease, in which case the person suffering
should take Immediate steps to remedy the
defect This can only be done by using
the left hand in preference to the right,
till equilibrium is established. In con-
versation with DIR. James, who has expert
mented largely, and observed closely the
effects of the lift1ng-cure, he informs us
that by this exercise, the every develop
ment of the sides is partly or wholly re-
stored.
