The DEVILS Elbow Snake. 4.

A gentleman who has been stopping
in our midst for some time, gives an ac-
count of one of the most terrible scenes
ever recorded in the annals of this coun-
try. While steaming up the placid
waters Of the Ocklnwaha river be wit
messed a conflict which made his hair
stand on end, never to be forgotten. Af-
ter rounding Sackett's Point the stream
widens and deepens, and the water at
this bend always looks troubled and
black.
Suddenly the steamer encountered u
sen of alligators, foundering and splash
ing in every direction. Their below
ing shook the foundation of the waters.
The captain says that he never heard or
witnessed such scene before, and never
wishes to again. Before the speed of
the little steamer could be checked they
found themselves i'll the midst of these
terrible monsters. TO back or 20 ahead
was impossible.
The passengers endeavored to drive
them away py shooting, and the hands
on board beat them with hand-spikes,
yet they seemed more determined to
obstruct the passage of the boat. The
situation every moment became critical
and the crew and passengers more and
more exhausted, and the destruction of
the boat seemed inevitable. Already
three colored hands had been devoured
by these terrible monsters and several
others wounded. Several planks were
torn from the hull, and the steamer was
with difficulty kept from sinking. Just
at this period a source OF relief came. A
huge serpent appeared, making his way
from the lakes-the same, it is supposed,
that was seen at "Dovll's Elbow" last
fall.
The alligators soon disappeared, fol-
lowing the sea devil, or whatever you
may call him, and such fighting never
was witnessed. At a point below, where
the river suddenly narrows, it socn be-
came blocked with dead aliigators, and
the water was red with blood. 1t is
difficult to account for the number and
sudden appearance OF these animals, but
the latest theory may throw eomo light
upon the subject. It is believed by
many that there is & large subterranean
passage of water between the head waters
Of the Ocklawaha, and the waters Of the
Okeechobee lake, and that these monsters
have found their way here in great num-
bers, and if not soon eXterminated will
obstruct the navigation of the Ochla-
waha -PilathG (FLa.) Herald.

About Words.

Il has been calculated that our Ian
guage, including the nomenclature Of the
arts and sciences, contains 100000 words !;
yet, OF this immense number, it is sur
prising how few are in common use. To
the great majority, even OF educated
men, three-fourths of these words are a.
most as unfamiliar as Greek or Choc-
taw. Strike from the lexicon all the
words nearly obsolete-all the words of
special arts or professionally the words
confined i'll their usage to particular To-
calities-all the words which even the
educated speaker uses only1 in homeo-
pathic doses-and it is astonishing into
what Lilliputian volume your Brob-
dingnagian Webster or Worcester will
have shrunk. It has been calculated
that a child uses only about one hun
dred words and unless he belongs to
the educated classes. he will never en-
ploy more than three or four hundred.
A distinguished American scholar esti-
mates that few speakers or writers use
as many as ten thousand words ordin-
ary persons, of fair intelligence, not over
three or four thousand. Even the great
orator who is able to bring into the
field, in the war of words, half the vast
array Of light and heavy troops which
the vocabulary affords, yet contents
himself with q far less imposing display
of verbal force. Even the all-knowing
Milton, whose wealth of words seems
amazing, and whom DR.. johnson charges
with using ga Babylonish dialect" uses
only 5000; and Shakespeare himself,
:" the myriad-minded," only $4,000.
These facts show that the difficulty of
mastering the vocabulary OF new
tongue is greatly overrated; and they
show, too, how absurd is the boast OF
every new dictionary-maker that his vo-
cabu!arly contains so many thousand
words more than those of his predecess-
ors,-1He Lakeside Monthly.

GLASS as a Non-COnductOr of Heat.

Glass, says the Journal Of tie Telegraph,
is practically non-conduotor of heat as
well as of electricity. A practical ex-
ample of the latter may have been seen
in the use Of glass as an insulator, a nom
conductor, for telegraphic purposes. 1t
is difficult to draw the line of non-con-
duction, but bad conductors of heat are
practically assumed as non n-conduct
The question of conduction is purely one
Of degree. Let two rods of equal size
and length-but one of copper and the
other of glass-be brought together, and
have at their extremities a small weight
or marble attached by wax. Apply a
spirit-lamp to the ends, touching each
other so that the heat be equally ap-
piled; in the case of the copper, owing
to its being a good conductor, the wax
will rapidly melt and let the weight
drop; while in the case of the glass, 0w-
ing to its being very bad conductor,
very long time must elapse before such
result can happen.

CHAPTER I.-REFORM,

CHAPTER I.-REFoRM.
William Fassil lived with his grand
mother and his sister Ju. at Hilton, neal
Reigate. He was u clerk in the Ad
miralty, and had to go up to London il
the morning, and back to dinner in the
evening, which he did not mind. HI
called the railway carriage his smoking
room.
William Fassil was thirty, the grand
mother eighty, Ju. twenty-three, the in

could find companion; and the friend
who most commonly came to his rescue
was Tom Chatteris.
Tom was not such good company on
one of these afternoons as usual; he
listened we'll enough, SO does a. horse
but he did not seem to take in meaning
with words. At last he said Look

you seriously"

shire, suppose" replied Fassil. "Take
my advice, Tom, and never bet on an

" You. thought you were always on

mo doubt 1 have had better luck
than the majority of hackers, but that
does not make pennyworth of differ
ence. A man always increases his ex-
penditure when he wins, but he never
reduces it again in proportion when he
loses. Upon my word, though it sounds
contradictory, am certain that it pays
batter to lose steadily from the first, than
to start successfully, even if you win ON
the average"
"There is a good deal of truth in
what you say, Tom," replied Fassil /;
but how on earth did you ever come to
discover it Z"
well, William, the fact isl want

murders out !"
Fassil, who was forging ahead at the
ssAte of four miles and half to the
hour, stopped so abruptly that his hat
shot over his forehead. "What" " he ex-
claimed.
Tom continued bashfully. 81 dare
say 1t sounds queer to you, who know

The traveller who lands at Calais from
Dover, and stops there over night, is put
into bed having a hard round bolster,
surmounted by huge square pillow,
very different from anything of the sort
he has before seen, but which he is des-
tined to tind-perhaps to his great dis
comfort-wherever he goes in France.
Here is a French fashion. The traveller
who enters Switzerland-it matters not
where-has honey placed before him the
first time he breakfasts or takes his tea.
/ He has not been treated to honey before
i'll any adjacent country Ill which he has
travelled, not, at least, until he has spe-
cially ordered it; but now it is placed
before him whether he cares for it or
not, and it continues to appear both at
breakfast and tea, SO long as he contin-
ues his sojournings in Switzerland.
Here is Il Swiss custom. One who crosses
from France to Germany exchanges Gus
toms il regard to the time of day for
taking dinner and the time of night for
retiring to rest. The Frenchman eats
but little in the morning or through the
middle of the day, reserving his dinner
until the close of the day. The German
dimes at midday. So much is this his
practice, the very word for dinner sig
mites mid days meal" And even
fashionable Germany goes to its even
ing's entertainment at 81 o'clock, P. NJ,
and Is at home and in bed before the
night has barely begun in London or
Paris. Here are German habits. The
more one travels, the more, of course, he
observes OF these national peculiarities.

Some queer developments are being
made in the case of the convicted San
Francisco murderess. The labors of her
physicians and lawyers in attempting to
save her, she has already paid twenty
thousand dollars for, and she is now
sued by the physician for two thousand
dollars more. A woman standing on the
edge of ielon's grave, with a suit for
debt being urged against her, is condi-
ton of affairs that embraces painful
contrast.

THE PHILOSOPHER AND HIS DAUGH-
TER.


a sound came booming through tie air
What is that sound?" quoth |.
My blue-eycd pet, with golden hair,
Made answer, presently,
Papa, you know it very we'll
That sound-it was Saint Pancras Bell
"My own Louise, put down the cat,
And come and stand by me;
Pm sad to hear you talk like mat,
Where's your philosophy
That sound-attend to Wftt teI-
That sound was not Saint Pancras Bell.
Sound is the name IT, sage selects
For the conclraing term
ora long So ies OF effects,
or fwhS,n that blows the germ.
The GLOWING brief analysis
Shews the interpretations, Miss.
The blow which, when the clapper slips,
Falls on your friend, the Bell,
Changes its circle to ellipse,
"a word you'd better spell.)
And then comes elasticity,
Restoring what it used to be.
Nay, making it a little more,
The circle shifts about,
AS much as it shrunk in before
The Bell, you see, swells out;
And so new ellipse is made,
you're not attending, Pm airaid)
This change OF form dsturbs .he air,
Which in its turn behaves
In like elastic fashion there,
Creating waves on waves;
Which press each other onward, dear,
Until the utmost finds your ear.
Within that ear the surgeons find
A tympanum, or drum,
Which has a little bone behind
Mahcus, it's called by some;
Those not proud of Latin Grammar
llumbly translate it as the hammer.
The waves vibrations this transmits
On to the incus bone,
(Incus means anvil, which it hits,)
And this transfers the tone
To the small os orbiculare,
The tiniest bone that people carry.
The stapes next-the name recalls
A stirrup's form, my daughter
Joins three half-circular canals,
Each filled with limpid water;
Their curious lining, you'll observe,
Made of the auditory nerve.
This vibrates neXt-and then we find
The mystic work is crown'd;
For then my daughters gentle Mind
First recognizes sound.
See what q host of causes swell
To make up what you call the 'Bell.'"
Awhile she paused, my bright Louise
And ponder'd on the case;
Then, settling that he meant to tense
She slapp'd her fathers face;
" You bad old man, to sit and tell
Such gibberygosh about Bell"
