When the boys went g. fishing, Joa went,
too; but he was Glow in getting his hook

Joa's home was full of life and noise

Railroads Sixty Years Ago.

The following letter, in reply to sug

that on mature reflection they will be
liable to serious objections and ultimately
more expensive than canal. They must
be double, 30 as to prevent the danger of
two heavy bodies meeting. The wall on
which they are placed must be at least
four feet below the surface and three feet
above and must be clamped with iron, and
then would hardly sustain so heavy a
weight as you propose moving at the rate
of four miles an hour on wheels. As to
wood, it would not last week. They
must be covered with iron, and that, too,
very thick and strong. The means of
stopping these heavy carriages without a
great shock and of preventing them run
ming on each other-for there would be
many running on the road at once-would
be very difficult. In cases of accidental
stops, or necessary Stops to take wood and

The carriage for condensing water would
be very troublesome. Upon the whole, I
fear the expense would be much greater

Chinese Visiting Cards.

VISITING is made most serious busi-
ness in China, and every individual OF
responsibility must have servant to carry
and present his cards. A Chinese card is
not white, glazed little bit of pasteboard,
but huge sheet of scarlet paper, with the
name inscribed in large characters; the
more mammoth.like the character the
more grand and respec able it is. Cards
are of several kinds. There is the plain
card-a ngle sheet of scarlet raper-with
the name written or stamped nearest the
right hand and topmost sides. This is
employed on common occasions. Then
there is the Official card, mostly used by
mandarins on visits Of ceremony. This is
also a single sheet, and it contains the
name preceded by the entire title, written
down the center, f'om top to bot: ON.
Then, again, there is the full card, which
is only produced on very grand occasions,
such as New Year visits, visits of congra-
tulation or coincidence. The full card is
folded, and mus contain ten folds 1t
does not give titles, but simply contains
the name of the individual written in the
right hand and bottom corner of the first
fold, pre fixed by the words, "Your stupid
younger brother" and followed by the
words, "bows his head and pays his re.
spects" Where the person visited be-
longs to generation senior to the visitor,
tho latter styles himself, Your stupid
nephew" If to two generations, the
visitor takes to himself the name of
"uncle instead of nephew" retaining,
however. the depreciatory appellative of
"supid." There is still further varieties
Of stlf-designation, according to the par
ticular gradations of relationship; but
these we have quoted will suffice 10 give
an idea of the punctilious rules peculiar
to Chinese visiting. We may add that
the card last described is, as matter of
etiquette, always understood to be return
ed to the visitor, it being, presumably, ex-
pensive to ave such voluminons proofs
of regard with such number of friends.

A New Rendering OF an Old Text.

SPENDING winter as invalids at Aiken,
South Carolina, the Hon. Thurlow Weed
and Mr.. Thomas G. Acton whiIed away
one Sabbath afternoon by attending ne
gro church, and were accompanied by
Mr.. John A. Kennedy, who was on visit
of few days to Mr.. Acton. When they
entered the primitive temple the preacher,
who was poor African, was graphing
with all the fervor of his race with the
old, old subject Of the fall of man. Sketch
ing that day in the garden with its terrible
results, he excoriated Mr.. Adam in this
fashion:
"Now, bredcren, when the Lord calls
Adam to count did he STAN up like man,
didn't do muffin Of de sort, brederen, but he
"Lord, de woman dat Dou gubest me

for to eat
Oar, brederen, you see dat mean,
skulkin' Adam was tryin' to sneak out
of it by froWin' all de blame on de Lord

This new idea of an old question was
too much for the distinguished "white
trash,' who had fortunately taken seats
nj ar the door, and they retired into the
fields to indulge in irreverent laughter

An AnecdOte Of Everett,

In his speech at the Amherst semi cen.
tcnnial commencement, Professor Park
said: {" haye recalled this afternoon q
scene which occurred thirty six years ago,
on the day preceding commencement.
Edward Everett then delivered the ora
tion. In the midst Of the Grafton he ut.

has not yet been fully asccrtaiEed, many
grave errors have, at least been uprOOted
Nobody believes now a-days in o huge
magnetic mountain, somewhere near the
north polc, " hich of old was imagined to
attract the needle, nor in magnetic cen
ter of the earth, The prevailing opinion
now is, that magnetic matter is di1lused
over the surface of the earth in manner
which rm'ts it to change both its local
ity and its intensity, so that the northern
lights, which are undoubtedly connected
with magnetic radiation, are seen in the
various parts of the northern hemisphere.
1t is not known yet whether southern
lights are seen in like manner toward the
southern pole, since the great harbors OF
Chill and Brazil are generally the last
places at which trading vessels touch, and
the passage around Cape Horn is almost
always made in summer, when such phe.
nomena are rarely observed.
Finally, it must not be overlooked that
the magnet cOn,isting of iron not only at
tracts that metal, but is attracted by it in
like degree. Hence, whenever the needle
comes in close proximity to iron, it is af-
fected to degree which depends upon
the bulk of the metal. &The pilot of an
English man. Of war first discovered this
important fact in 1904, and Scoresby col
lected a nurnbor-of cases of ahipwrecks
which were clearly attributable to the neg
lect of captains to account for the local
deviation of the needle caused by the iron
on board their ships. Among these were
the St. George, of ninety eight guns, and
the Defiance of seventy -four guns, which
were wrecked on the coast of Jutland, and
sunk with three thousand men on board !;
and the still greater calamity on the coast
of Portugal, in which the line. ship Apollo
perished, with twenty nine merchant
ships, which she escorted. Vessels built
altogether of iron, or at least iron-clad,
seem to present almost insuperable diff
cultes to the use of the compass; and, al.
though liberal rewards have been paid to
the English physicist, Barlow, and to other
eminent men of science, for happy de-
vices, by which the evil may be partially
corrected, final solution of the problem
has not yet been attained.
Thus the magic needle proves to us that,
while almost marvellous discoveries have
been made in the entirely new realm of
magnetism, of which not only antiquity,
but even recent centuries, had no concep-
ton, the great mystery is as yet far from
being fathomed. Masters of the science
have more than once called the system Of
magnetic currents on our globe its tue
life, and read in the kindred emanations
of ell ctric ty and heat the history of its
restless activity; but, even thus, they
stand only at the porta's of a temple,
within which Isis sits yelled, as of old,
waiting for the inspired hand that is to
raise the veil, and to behold Truth. .-Ap-
