Such wonderful and grand sight 1
never have seen among beasts of the
field or fowls of the air. How thew did
enjoy their sport! For time, / do
not believe l go beyond the truth, if /
say the ocean could hardly be seen for
the multitude of fishes in the air. And
as they rapidly and gracefully curved
from the surface to the surface again.
they shone in the bright sunlight like
FURNISHED points, and wedges, and
shafts, of silver and gold. We could
hear only the rushing of the water as
they left it, and the splashing aud
plunglng as they entered it again. But
SO many were there that il made CON
tinual rush, splash and plunge.
They left for the depths below as
suddenly as they came, leaving the
ocean surface boiling and foaming with
the commotion they had made, and we
saw them no more. L need not say
there were no loungers, sleepers or
dreamers on our ship while this grand
sight was witnessed, nor again that
day, so thoroughly did it wake us to
newness of life.

The Next Season at Long Branch.
From the New York Tribune.

1t is estimated that 500 carpenters
alone are at work at Long Branch, the
larger part Of them ON new buildings.
A cottage is building on Ocean avenue,
which 1T is proposed to present to
Bishop Simpson. The proposition was
started at the close of last season, the
lot was given by Mrs. Cooper, and the
first subscription of 500 was made by
President Grant. The building OF
cottages has greatly affected the value
of real estate, which now almost reach
es New York prices. Property on the
Ocean drive which sold two years ago
for 81, 900 an acre, now sells at $1,000
per lot of 100 feet front. The extension
of the Southern New Jersey railroad to
Sandy Hook has also affected the value
of the land above Long Branch by
bringing the places along its line with
in easy reach of the city. Mr.. Shipper,
Mrs. Edwin A. Stephens, DIR. Dodd, and
others have erected cottages at Sea
bright, and land which has heretofore
been almost valueless, being @ mere
sand bank, now brings S400 and $500
an acre. The increase of private resi-
dences aud the growing facilities for
travel will more than ever attract pleas
ure-seekers TO this watering place. Two
daily trains are run each way at present,
and the number Will be increased to
five after the 10Th of May The South
ern railroad will place the Plymouth
Rock on the route at that time, in adj
dition to the three boats already run
ming, and will have daily accommoda
items for 3, 900 passengers.

BY this we observe that its business for 1870
reached the enormous figure of $40, 295, 100,
being $4,000 larger than that of any COM
pany in the world.
The Equitable is mutual company, on the
cash basis, making annual returns to its policy
holders of all the profits which arise in the
course of its business.
The mention of one very favorable feature
must not be omitted-we refer to the ability of
its agents and the courtesy of its officers, by
which every required information connected
with Life Assurance can be readily obtained
The executive of this company can always be
easily approached. and this tends much to its
popularity.
II is thus easy to understand why the Equit-
able has reached it's present prominence
Starting from the first day of its organization,
under the best auspices. in 1866 there we're
but FOUR companies that wrote a larger amount
of new insurance; IN 1867, bat THREE in
1868. bat Two in 1869. the Equitable's tran
sactions were the largest, and ia 1870 it still
maintained its supremacy, as the table given
above shows. BY this time it had issued over
10000 policies, insuring more than $3.50, 900 900
We are not aware whether the Equitable Life
Assurance Company is represented here or not,
but we would strongly recommend those de-
sirous of working in the field of Life Assur-
ance. to place themselves at once in commune
cation with the home Office, with the view of
acting for them as agent, as there il, perhaps,
no other company that could offer better in
ducements.

Borgia Come Again.

The London Medical Press and Cir
cnlar has the following;
A very startling communication has
been made to us by gentleman occu-
pying most prominent post in this
country, OF the existence of most
deadly poison, by the inhalation of
which, simply through the medium of
a letter sent by post in the
ordinary way. the reader will sud
denly drop down dead, with all the
symptoms of asphyx1a. The position
and requirements of our informant
should place his evidence beyond sus-
picion nevertheless, before giving en-
tire credence to such startling report,
we are anxious to obtain conirmatory
evidence from any of our readers. in
whose minds suspicious of foul play
have arisen when investigating cases of
sudden death, and what such symp-
toms we're. Certainly, the following
clipping from Canadian paper, rela-
tive to the recent sudden death of a
person of note, looks very ugly: He
received an anonymous letter, and
while reading it be- fell down insensible,
and shortly after expired. 1t is said
the letter contained some poisonous
substance.

Commodore yanderbiIt's Car.
rom the Albany Times.


A coach known as the Directors
Car, built especially fer Commodore
Vanderbilt, is very nearly completed.
1t is few feet shorter than an ordinary
coach, and will be one of the most cosy
cars ever built The body of the car
outside is of a cream color, with corni-
ces of darker shade, and presents a
decidedly handsome appearance. On
either side is a keystone with the Com
modores monogram. One light of the
best French plate glass constitutes
window, the centre plates being 42x36
inches, and those at the ends of the
sides OF the car, 2Sx36. There is moth
ing gaudy or SNOWY about the coach
The inside woodwork is of black wal
nut, and finished as finely as the cover
are elegant. The mountings, door
knobs, hat-racks, lamp finishings, &C.,
are all heavy silver-plated- The car is
divided into three compartments
First. The main room, twenty-five by
nine feet, private parlor about eight
feet square, and sleeping apartment
At one end of the car are syo closets,
one of which is furnished with refrig
orator, &c. The water-closet and wash
room have the latest improvements
The car will be lighted with six elegant
lamps, in which sperm candles are to
be used, the commodore preferring this
kind of light to gas. The upholstery
work has not been done yet. The plat
forms are provided with neat but strong
iron ratings, with drop gates at either
side, so that when so desired the plat
form is surrounded with fence of iron
work about two feet and half high.
1t was Commodore Vanderbilt's orders
that the coach should not be shown, and
his wishes have been regarded.

Stakpd Plain.

On the route of the Texas & Pacific
Railroad is a pleasing site for GEM
etery, Staked Plain, seventy miles wide,
without spear of grass, or drop of wa
ter, and covered by the mummy-like
carcasses of all the creatures that ever
persisted upon it. Even the coyote and
raven shun the fatal region. The wri-
ter's party passed over part of it with
n vast drove of cattle, and when they
came in sight of the Pecos River the
herd, maddened with thirst, rushed
into the pools of crystal alkah, and
drank until they fell dead in their
tracks, or else plunged headlong into
the dismal blood-red river, and were
swept down by hundreds in its swift
and treacherous swirl. When we left
the Pecos at least twelve hundred head
from our drove alone lay dead upon
its loathsome banks or fed their Tester
ing flesh to its waves -

A TIuc story About P.es.
By MRS. NJ. B. c. s1ADy.

A lady in Providence tells me that
her father once brought home a molas-
ses hogshead, to be used as a water
tank. On washing day, her mother
said, "Let US throw the suds into it,
to soak the molasses from the bottom. y
The instant she had done so, she ex-
claimed, so, have drowned hundreds
of our neighboring bees ="
The hogshead was black with bees
that wsre busily appropriating the
sweets from what they must have con-
sidered an enormous blossom The
good lady made haste, with her skim
mer, to skim the bees from the top OF
the water, and spread them on a board
In the sunshine but they seemed
drowned and nearly dead. and she was
very sorry.
All tine bees that were around the
hogshead had flown away at the dash
of the water, but In few minutes they
returned, accompanied by scores OF
others. Then began curious work.
They Immediately went to work upon
the unfortunate bees, turning them
over and over, and working upon them
constantly with their heads. feet, and
antenna. The result of their busy
labor was, that one after another gave
signs of life, stretched its limbs and
wings, crawied about and dried itself
In the sun, and few away. The lady
said there were Ealf pint, at first,
and that there remained only about q
dozen hopeless cases, beyond the hui
name efforts of their brothers.
No other insect has ever excited SO
much interest and admiration as the
bee; many lessons have been learned
from its wonderful and ingenious hab-
its; and In this case | have no doubt
that an observant physician might
have gained some useful hints as to
the resuscitation of the drowned.
This is certain-true story, for ]
heard it with my own ears, and Mrs.
Gardner told it with her own mouth,
and she said she saw it with her own
eyes.-Little Corporal.
