A Mississippi steamboat man says the
principal cause OF the explosion OF steam
boilers, which have been of such alarm
ing frequency on that river of late, is
due to the hydrostatic pressure applied
to them by the United States inspectors.
He maintains that by applying this test
and running up the pressure from fifteen
to twenty per cent. more than steamer
is allowed to carry, there is a strong ten
dency to weaken the iron, which may
not show itself for hours or days, per-
haps, after steamboat starts on her
triu

our neighbor for this position, there are some
of the best of evidences consideratc self re-

and knowledge of a cut of beef for relish
able meal, are some of his adaptations for
such position; and ON the other side of the
house, there are said to DO equally valuable
ones for the landady. There is good reason
for hope and congratulation at the prospects

KEEP Your Tor CooI.-Artemus Ward
during a journey across the plains, offered
a stage driver drink of whisky from
his flask, which was refused in mcst de-
cidcd terms. Said the driver:
81 don't drink. won'rt drink and l
don't like to see any one else drink. l
am of the opinion of those mountains
keep yow top cool They've got snow,
and Pvc got brains; that's all the differ
ence
There is wealth of wisdom in the
sententious remark, "Kecp your top
cool" The fountain of mans power and
happiness is in his brain. Alcohol is a
foe of the brain, and when it gets there,
either benumbs it or perverts its action.
Remember the stage drivers curt phil

SEAL FIsHERIEs.--About $50 ships, inclu-
ding nearly IA score of steamers, went this sea-
son from St. John into the seal fisheries The
season for this business is a short one, usually
lasting only from about the 10Th to the 2jth of
March. The accounts thus far, show that al
ready ships have arrived with considerably
more seal "pelts" than were brought in during
the whole of last season, while 100 vessels are
yet to arrive. The success of these voyages
is the subject of much congratulaton. The
value of the oil and skins is, upon an aver
age, nearly So for each seal. The seals are
usually taken upon the ice, the skin being
stripped off with the fat, two or three inches
thick adhering. After cooling, the pelts arc
slowed and conveyed 10 ST. Johns or Harbor
Grace, where the oil is rendered and the clean
ed skins preserved. France is the largest buy
er of the skins, manufacturing them into pat
ent leather. The oil is chiefly shipped to Eng
land. The business is eften extremely profit
ablc but is attended with much risk The
seals come down to the Grand Banks early in
February, feed for few weeks on the cod and
ether fish, and then, at the approach of
Hwhelping" time, seek the great fields of ice
which usually DRIFT about the Straits of Belle
Isle. As the young begin to be able to take
care of themselves, move about uncertainty
for few days and then disappear, the young
ones following. At times, millions of them
may be viewed frem the mast of vessel.

How SCHooLBoY Cor Losr.-The
Boston Traveller tells this story:
The pet of Il family residing not far
from La Grange street, is boy who re-
Gently passed his fifth year, aud having
just donned his first jacket and trowsers,
is attending a primary school. The 9TH
er afternoon he failed to come home at
the usual hour, much to the alarm of the
household, and after a long search he
was found, some time after dark, at the
providence depot. He was sent to bed
without much explanation, though it is
possible his treatment was what Solo
mon would have recommended, in su;h an
emergency. The next day he was down
to the breakfast table, evidently none
the worse for the lesson and perhaps the
wiser. Taking advantage of lull in the
conversation customary at the morning
meal, he turned his grave countenancc
toward the head of the table, and giving
vent to his over charged mind, he eX-
claimed, "rll tell you mamma, how it
happened. After school, l went part of
the way home with Mary, and at
corner OF street where she left me, |
kissed her and she kissed me, and then !
found | was lost" There was an explo-
sion around the table, just about that
time 1t is suspected this is not the first
young gentleman who has been lost
under similar circumstances

SOLDIERS g. CITIzER's MUTUAL BENEEIT
CoLoSY.--Dr KWo, Chairman Of the commil-
tee Of survey and location, writes from Brook
vile, Kansas, under date Of the 10th inst,
that the Committee are storm. bound, the hrsi
unpleasant weather experienced since enter.
ing the State This section Of country Is
found 10 be much more broken Than the South
West. While the vallies arc very rich and
heavily covered with vegetation, the knolls
are covered with red sand stone, usually un.
derlaid with lime stone. Water hard and
abundant. Cattle winter without hay, and
some noticed by The Comm. were good beef
and taken for that purpose Sheep are larger
than In Ohio, and look finely. The country
is better for grazing than tillage. Winter
wheat looks good Spring wheat and oats arc
up, aud the prospect for fine crops is good
We have seen some good locations for our
Colony These were in n beautiful prairie
with soil of rich, sandy loan, and heavy
growth of native grass and plenty of water,
either in streams, or obtained by wells Of from
20 to 40 feet depth. Lime stone is abundant,
but timber scarce; coal is found in nearly all
sections, but of inferior quality to that of Ohio
and Pennsylvania, but it will abundantly sup
ply the want of fuel. This country is perfect
ly adapted to stock raising, and the growth of
both winter and spring wheat, oats and bar
ley; corn grows very large and fine when not
too dry in August, and not visited by the hot
winds from the southwest, which usually
last two or three days. These render the
corn crop uncertain wheat is harvested be-
fore that time and is, therefore, not affected
by them.
We are very much pleased with this coun-
try, and think, with money enough for good
start, no one can fail to do well in any part Of
the State that we have examined. 1t is diff
cult to select land for colony, with supply
of woed, water, and prairie, or level land
The only timber found in such localities, is
along the banks of rivers and creeks, where it
is projected from fire by water. OF course,it
is scoree, and as it is much sought for, and as
the tide of emigration is very great, it is pick
ed up. We travel along these water lines,
hopeful of finding this desirable object but
generally Gnd some pioneer in advance of US,
and many miles in advance Of settlements
The compliments of the Comm. are sent to
the officers and members of the colony
