4 Disaster at Sea.

The survivors Of the wrecked bark
Kodosh, from Manila, for Boston,
have reached that city. The first mate
states that the bark was beating about
in the bay inside of Race Point three
DAVIS before she struck, being unable to
find a pilot, and when the clouds threat
ened storm, they wefc ',' fnr in to
put to sea again, M the eastefls wiiid
was blowing them further toward the
shore every moment. After the weather
became very thick, and concluding that
the land could not be ,fr distant, the
vessel was anchored. The storm in the
meantime grew more furious, the sea
running b CHER, and everything be-
tokened Il, coming of danger. In one
hour after Glchoring she struck ON
Point Aldo n, aud soon began to
break up. A lands Immediately looked
about fw means with which to save
their lives.
There were two large boats on board,
besides whale boat Ten of the men
got into one and started for shore, land
ing safely. Capt. Matthews selected
the whale-boat, into which he and seven
others took refuge, but on its passage it
was unfortunately capsized, precipita-
ting its occupants intu the sea, and all
were drowned. The nautical instru-
ments were in the boat, and nothing
was saved except a chronometer, which
was nfterward picked up on the shore.
1t is somewhat singular that the whale
boat, always considered the best craft
in high sea, should meet with such an
accident, while the more clumsy boat
carried its burden safely through to the
shore.
After the survivors reached the land
they naturally looked back for their
comrades, and on discovering the sad
mishap, three of the men got into the
boat and started back to save to save
those struggling in the waters They
failed, however, of their generous pur-
pose, but succeeded III getting the dead
body of Capt. Matthews, which they
brought to the shore, and carried it in
land as far as the bluffs, about one hun
dred yards from the water-line where
they deposited it, supposing the locality
to be secure from the reach of the voters.
On searching for the body on the next
morning, no trace of it could be found,
snow covered it beyond their reach. Be
sides the regular crew there were on
board two stowaways, both Of whom
were saved. One of t%cm was Manila
boy, whose first experience of snow and
ice will probably make lasting i'm
preston.
OF the persons on board, eight We're
lost and nine saved. The following are
the names of six of the lost j. 4. Mat
thews, Captain; John W. Kirby, stew
ard: Christian Overlander, cook; John
Guymer, Julius Syealan, and Charles
Greenland, seamen, the latter Swede.
The bark is broken into small frag
ments, scattered about the shore. A
portion of the hemp has also washed TO
the land, and will be saved in n dam
aged condition. The sugar will all be
lost. The vessel and cargo were valued
at about 31iS, 600.

Robert Kettle, a temperance mission
ary in Glasgow left few tracts with
young lady one morning. Calling at
the same house a few days afterward, he
was rather disconnected at observing
the tracts doing daty as curl-papers on
the head of the damsel to whom he had
given them. "Weel, ma lassie," he re-
marked, 81 see you have used the
tracts I left wi ye; but, he added, in
time to turn confusion into merriment,
"ye have putten them on the wrang
side O. your head, my woman!'

Mahogany.

Mahogany, though for centuries used
by the Spaniards in ship-building, was
first tried in England in King street, in
the last century. DIR. Gibbons, an emf
nent physician, was building a house :;
his brother, West India captain, who
had brought some mahogany as ballast,
sent him some of the wood as a curl
osity; but the carpenters, finding it
hard to work, threw it aside. Soon
after this, Mrs. Gibbons, wanting a
candle-box, sent Wollaston, a cabinet
maker in Long-acre, some mahogany to
make it from, and would allow of no
excuse. The box was made, and liked.
The doctor then tried bureau, which
his friends, especially the Duchess of
Buckine han, thought beautiful for
color and polish The Duchess begged
some mahogany, and had bureau also,
and the fame of it soon made the for
tune of the new wood. Mr.. limbs says
that the present doors of few of the
better class of houses in King street are
solid mahogany. AU the Year Round.

why Women Lose their Beauty.

Shut mn in houses nine-tenths of their
time. with either no exercise, or that
which is of limited, irksome same
ness, they are, as a consequence, I'M
naturally pale, soft and tender; their
blood is poorly organised and wateIy'
their muscles small and fiabby; ana the
force and functions of their bodies, as
whole. run low in the scale OF life. A
spurious fullness is often seen in the
outline during girlhood, which usually
melts like snow under an April sun
whenever the endurance is put to the
test. as in performing the functions OF
a mother; The change in appearance
from the maiden of one year to the
mother of the next is often so striking
and enduring that it is difficult to be-
Iieve that we are looking on the same
person The round, pleasing shape is
prematurely displaced by a pinched
angularity, and an untimely and un-
seemly appearance Of age: travellers
from other countries, who have had an
extensive means for observation and
comparison, have remarked upon the
great beauty of American woman, and
the early age Mt which it is lest. Some
have ascribed this to the climate; but
more intelligent observers agree that II
is a hot house. enervating mode of life.
English ladies' of rank, who, by the
way, are celebrated for keeping their
beauty even to a ripe old age, thlhk
nothing of walking half dozen
miles at time; while American ladies
would think such thing perfectly
dreadful" If American women. SO
dainty and richly fed, will sit in dark
and snltry rooms the live-long day, they
must expect to bloom too soon, to hast
en- through this charming period---at
the longest in about ten years--,,and Tor
twenty-five years after, have the grim
satisfaction of being thin, wrinkled,
angular and sallow.

The First American Cent.

"F. S., in the Rurdt Ncr lOrkcr of
Dec. 7th, is wrong in regard to the first
American cent. The so-called wash
medals, and We're not issued by the
Government. The 1893 penny is the
first of the American series, and there
were plenty of these made in 1893: they
can be found in any collection of note
in this country
] have Just noticed an inquiry made
by correspondent in the RVrM Ncp
IOrke,' for Oct. 90, in regard to the
United States cents. As / have made
numismatics a special study, / will an
swer his question. The copper cent
was not issued for circulation until the
year 1893, although several patterns had
been struck off previous to that time.
This cent of 1893 was very similar to
those of later dates; but instead of the
wreath, it bore around the words " one
cent chain having thirteen links.
This type was changed during the same
year. Cents were issued annually until
the year 1857, with the exception of
1915, when none were coined. In 1897
the small nickel cents made their APP
pearance. In consequence of their
Issue, the greater part of the large cop
per cents of that year We're returned to
the Mint. Some of the cents are quite
rare, and bring high prices when in
good condition. 1t is difficult to collect
a complete set. The cent of 1899 is the
rarest of the series. 1t is said that the
scarcity OF the cents of this date is
owing to this fact; A firm in Salem, en-
gagged in the slave trade at that time,
obtained large quantity directly from
the Mint, drilled holes in then, and
them to Africa, to exchange
them for slaves. The African chiefs
would string them and wear them
around their necks, prizing them very
highly. - Correspondent.

Orange culture. The orange culture
paws we'll in Florida The fruit, when
carefully cultivated, seldom fails to
Weld large returns. In the Indian River
section of Florida, eighty miles south
of Pilatka, where not even the lghtest
frost ever comes, the fruit produced Is
considered superior TO any that is I'M
ported. When a grove is once estab-
iished but little labor is necessary, but
it is very essential that that little should
be provided at the right time; The
cultivation consists in opening the soil
between the rows of trees, the applica-
ton of fertilizers to the roots, and the
careful removal from every branch of
the parasitic gray moss which IN that
climate speedily covers the trees if they
are neglected. The culture of tho
orange is becoming an important in
terest in Florida, and is steadily in
creasing.

Mrs. Breton, in her k-book, says:
To make nice breakfast cakes take one
pound of -four, one-half teaspoon tartar
ic acid, one-half teaspoon salt, one-half
teaspoon soda, and one and one-half
large cups of milk, one ounce of sifted
loaf sugar, two eggs. Make them as you
would soda bread, with the addition of
sugar and eggs. Mix -four, tartaric acid
and salt well together, taking care that
the two latter are reduced to finest pow
der, and stir in the sifted sugar. Dis
solve the sugar in the milk, add the
eggs, which should be well whisked,
and with this liquid work the -four, &c,
into light dough. Divide into small
cakes, place in The oven Immediately,
and bake for twenty minutes.

WOODBRIDGE. May 9Th, 1873.
Dear Doctor: John Brown still lives
he was committed to the lnsane Asylum
at Stockton. from O.msby county ON the
24lh OF April, 1861. H has the heart
disease. He is getting on very well at
present. Whist showing Nj. KING
through, 1 asked hir if he recognized
any OF tn patients: he SAID that he did
not, and remarked that NJ ,honey Was
the first patient that had been sent from
Humboldt county. just as he WAS leav-
ius the yard Goodwin came "ut and
spoke to him. H seeined very much
surprised to SEE MIN and SAID that he
had never heard of his beng there. He
must have seen Brown, but lsuppose he
did hot recognize him. He wds III the
yard also this morning. before he lett,
and must have seen all the patients.
Everything Is getting on very Well.
Your friend,
w. GRAvoTs.
This would seem to dispose OF the
matter only it still maintains the error
of Browns assignment to OfnisDy

however, is settled beyond any doubt
lie still lives. We hope the Doubling
