A Miraculous Escape.

A Mrs. King had a surprise at Shaw
neetown the other day. It was an accident
that Mrs. King happened to be at Shaw
neetown. She did not intend to- go
there, but the steamboat Jennie Howell,
on which she was travelling, struck q
snag, and sank in the Ohio river. Sew
eral of the passengers were drowned,
and among them some children. Mrs.
King had child on board whom she
mourned as lost, and was taken to Shaw
neetown without her babe. The Jennie
Howell sank deep in the water, and the
next morning men went to the vessel to
recover the bodies of the lost. Soon
after daylight mattress was discovered
floating in the cabin, which was filled
with water nearly to the ceiling. Upon
examination, child, little boy, was
discovered on the mattress sleeping as
peacefully as if nothing unusual had
happened. His bed was not very dry,
for it had sunk good deal from soaking,
but still sustained its living freight. In
due time the child was sent to Shawnee
town, where the other passengers had
been landed the night before. Its com.
ing made an excitement among the
wrecked travellers, for more than one
mother had lost children by the disaster;
1t was touching scene when Mrs. King
recognized the child as her boy whom
she had mourned as lost for nearly
twenty-four hours. The preservation o.
Moses in the bulrushes was not so mir
aculous as the safety of Mrs. King
boy. He had been tossing about OF
the waste of waters in the cabin al
night, and was brought to his mothe
| alive in the hour of her deepest woe.

What a Pet Toad Does.

The Macon (Ga.) Messenger says that
one of its citizens has well grown toad
in his garden which is disposed to be
quite tame and sociable. Recently he
threw before it stout piece of cooked
ham about half the weight of the ugly
reptile. The creature eyed it wistfully,
then stretching itself at full length on
the ground, began gradually to crawl
(not Jump toward the meat. 1t would
move an inch or two, then wink its eyes
and lick its chops in the most curious
manner, evidently meditating an attack.
When about half foot from the object,
suddenly, quick as thought, it pounced
upon 1T and then 1eaped back as rapidly.
This attack and retreat was repeated
several times, until satisfied that it had
vanquished its inert antagonist, the
frog seized the meat, and with a tre-
mendous effort gulped it down. Other
bits of bacon were laid before it, but the
creature, surfeited with its repast, took
no notice them. The toad is not very
choice as to the quality of its food. The
writer has seen one seize and swallow
buckshot after buckshot as it was rolled
toward it, until, weighed down with the
load it bore, further motion became i'm
possible.

German Ignorance of Politics.

At first view the empire is very strong.
But it has many elements of weakness.
In the first place, the people, as whole,
seem to be grossly ignorant of their
political privileges, and Indifferent to
them. In Dresden, two university men,
both of age, were unable to tell me
whether the members of the Imperial
Parliament were elected or appointed.
Neither knew the qualifications for vot-
ing. One did not know whether the
Federal States had separate Assemblies
or not. The other was wholly ignorant
of these Assemblies time and places of
meeting, and of their prerogatives.
Both concurred in saying eff you
wish to know about any such things,
you must ask a lawyer nobody else
knows or cares" To infer from the ig-
norance of these two men that of the
whole nation would be painfully like NJ.
Taine's inference of all the views of all
Enghsnmen on all subjects from the
looks and talk of his one fellow traveller
between Liverpool and London. 1t
might even suggest that standard story
of the danger of inductive reasoning
from too few facts, which runs in this
wise A tourist in America entered in
his notebook "Was shaved this morn
ing the barber had red hair. Mem.
All BARRIERS in the States have red hair. -
But many other Germans have since
confirmed what these two men said.
Again and again have I been told that
it was idle to expect anybody but a law
yer to know anything about the struc-
ture of government. And, as far as my
limited experience goes, nobody else
has known. Such apathetic ignorance
has sometimes been relied upon by des-
potisms as their surest support. Wit
ness Napoleon III. and the French peas
antry. But experience and common
sense unite to prove that people who
show such indifference, while they will
not fight to overthrow their government,
will not willingly fight to maintain it
when domestic foes attack it. They are
Indifferent to local changes, so long as
their own throats and purse-strings are
left uncut. t.-COLog7ae Letter.

American Explorations in Palestine.

Advices from Lieut.. Steever, COM
manding the Palestine exploring ex-
pedition, dated June Il, just received,
give an outline of the work done this
season in Moab. A detailed report will
soon be forwarded They have selected
and satisfactorily measured base line
near Herban, five miles in length they
have established suitable trigonometri-
cal stations, and actually triangulated
400 square miles, besides having almost
,completedt he detail of the same, includ-
ing the hill shading. The elevation
above the Dead and Mediterranean
seas has been well obtained The
height of all importantpoints and eleva-
tions within the triangulation has been
determined and the meteorological obser-
vations regularly taken and noted.
This alone is deemed an invaluable
acquisition to geographical knowledge.
Every days work has revealed ruins
unknown and unmentioned by any
traveller The Bedouins tell Eof ruins
of cities few days journey to the south
and east, which it is impossible at this
season to visit In the department OF
archaeology and biblical research the
expedition has not been less successful
Prof. Paine has prepared a voluminous
report, identifying Nebo and Pisgah
The expedition would soon go into sum
mer quarters. Lieut.. Steever advises
resumption of the work in the autumn
rather than with the coming spring
All were in good health and spirits.

Futile Time-SerYing.

The New York Observer ridicules the
idea that where the ages of the patri-
arches of the Bible are mentioned in
years, when the Hebrew chronologer
stated the life of Methuselah to be 969
years, and of Jared 962, he meant that
many months. The Observer goes on
to figure on the subject as follows ::
ssAdam lived 13O months, and begat a
son. Seth lived 1O5 months, and begat
Enos. Enos lived 80 months, and begat
Cainan. Cainan lived 70 months, and
begat Michael And Enoch lived 65
months, and begat Methuselah. And
all the days of Methuselah were 969
months, and he died and SO on. Truly
wonderful race of beings At the
age of 130 months, which is little more
than 10 years, Adam begat his frst-born
Seth and at the age of 105 months, 6
little less than 9 years, Seth begat
Enos and at 80 months, or less than
years, Enos begat Cainan and Cainal
begat his first-born at 70 months, whicl
is less than 6 years And this is
satisfactory solution 1t is historica
and scientific mending with a ven
geance.

A Submerged Forest.
[From the Chicago Times.l

A portion of the members of the Lon
don Geological Society recently went to
examine the remains of forest sunk
in the Thames, between Woolwich and
Crith, which the low stage of the water
had exposed This forest had been dis
covered as long as $50 years ago by Capt.
Parry, who first called the attention of
the society to it. After careful physi-
cal examination, NJ Searles Wood, the
well-known geologist, drew the inference
that the present mouth of the Thames
in the North Sea is of modern origin,
the course of the river having
formerly been southerly. The
above members of the society found,
after an excavation of twelve feet, a mud
deposit of six to eight feet, number OF
twigs, leaves, and shoots, which the
botanists present on the occasion recog-
nized as the remains of oak and other
trees. At the same time some animal
remains, such as antlers, jaws, etc., were

A GEORGIA SERMON.

In the autumn of 1880 I attended
camp meeting in the interior of Georgia,
and heard sermon which have never
been able to forget or describe. have
attempted several times to write it. But
it cannot be put on paper. The main
force of it was in the snufing and spit
ting and groanipg and hound -after-a-
fox sort of yelp and whine, to which no
pen can do Justice. 1t must be intoned
to be appreciated. I have preached it a
thousand times for the amusement of
friends, and have been satisfied with my
effort. / have used it as a remedial
agent in exercising the demons of hypo-
chondria, and have never failed /" to
send them down a steep place in the
sea-" or somewhere else, to the great
relief of the sufferer.
The speaker had just been licensed,
and it was his first sermon. In person
he was small, bullet-headed, of fair,
sandy complexion, and his countenance
was indicative of sincerity and honesty.
His remarks evinced great reverence for
the works of God, as manifested in zool-
ogy and natural history, and ''was
taking up the Bible in regular order for
the first time in his Life :" He had got
ten as far as the history, the ark, the
flood, etc. Besides, just before his con-
version he had been reading Gold
smiths Animated Mater, and the two
together, by the aid and assistance OF
the sperit, had led him into powerful
train of thinking, just as he stood at his
workbench day in and day out" But
whatever his sermon may have been, il
was his own. The text was, &C As it was
in the days of Noah, so shall the coming
of the Son of Man be-" After com
menting upon that portion of Genesis
descriptive of the flood, he " warmed
up suddenly, and broke out in the fol
lowing strains:
Yes, my brethren, the heavens o.
the windows was opened-ah, and the
floods of the great deep hvered tht
waters-ah, and there was Shem, ant
there was Japheth-ah, all a-gwine int
the Ark-ah.
"And there was the elephant-ah, tina
great animal ah, of which GOLDSMITH
describes in his Animated Mater '-ah
what is as big as horse-ah, and hi
bones as big as a tree-ah, depending
some what on the size of the tree-ah, al
a-gwine into the Ark-ah. And the heay

BE Nor IDLE.-One great power rules
the world as it always has done-the
power of labor. For labor conquers all
things. Everything we do has to have
a certain amount of labor expended on
it, to bring it to state of perfection.
However difficult it may appear, how
ever impossible it may seem to be, re-
member if you attack it with energy,
and labor with all your might, your
efforts will be crowned with success.
Inventive man, by the aid and apphca-
ton of labor, wins for himself a name
that will always be honored, respected
and remembered by his fellow-citizens.
1t has been truly said, that no excellence
is obtained without labor. Few persons
conyersant with the world have failed to
discover that in the race of life, men OF
moderate means and attainments fre-
ouently outstrip competitors endowed
equally by the smiles of fortune and
gifts of genius. Difference of talent has
little to do with it /; the power of steady,
unabated labor excels all gifts of genius;
and he who would succeed In life must
labor constantly.

A HORSE attached te the cart of tin
peddler, while on Bslmforth avenue,
Friday, became startled by something,
and ran away at a speed that was mar
velous in tin peddler's horse. The
wagon was old and ricketty, and the
condition of repairs, but both of them
got through that avenue with awful We
locity, the former hopping it's spine, and
shaking its head, and throwing its heels
uproariously, while the latter ree1ed
from one side of the road to the other,
and bounded from rut to rut, and threw
an invoice of old junk and new tin-ware
at every heave. One old lady was
caught around the neck by a pair of
satinet pants and nearly choked to death,
and hoop-skirt, badly damaged, de-
scended over the head of man who
was telling neighbor what his mother
rubbed on sprains, and so frightened
him that he fell over barrel and put
both of his ankles out joint, and was
bit on the shoulder by the dog of the
man he was trying to benefit. The
horse having filed the air with boilers,
and OLD vests, and flatirons, and worth
less overalls, and brass kettles, and
broken-down gaiters, suddenly fetched
up by jumping off the bridge into the
river, dragging the wagon and a moth
eaten undershirt in after it.-Da,eb,trs

Woman,s Lot in Germany.

Women are farm-laborers, hod-car-
riers, street-sweepers, hewers of wood
and drawers of water. L have seen the
women tugging along canal-boat, while
a man sat in the stern, smoked, and
steered; and a woman harnessed with
an OK to draw plow which man
guided. These may be exceptional in
stances, but the commonest of sights In
a German city is a woman harnessed
with dog before a little cart. The
natural consequences follow: Woman
is despised; immortality is frightful.
An American family which spent last
winter in Dresden advertised for 6

woman who had no children could be
procured. Cologne Letter.

RECALLED case of resuscitation
lately took place at the Hospital of the
Val de Grace, at Paris. A man had
hanged himself in garret in the Rue
Saint jacques, and having been cut
down and examined by medical men,
was pronounced dead. The clinical lee
turer, however, desired to try one last
experiment, and he opened the chest
and attempted artificial respiration, but
without success. He then applied the
pole of an electrical battery to the
pneumo-gastric nerves, and passed a
strong current at intervals of four sec
onds. Soon after, some signs of respir-
alton appeared, the dilated pupils were
contracted. A few drops of alcohol were
given, when muscular contraction be-
came visible without electricity, warmth
returned to the feet, and the patient
was saved. So much for the power of
science.
