Queer things happen in newspaper
offices. Recently brother journalist
in suburban town, with a fourishing
weekly on his hands, was obliged to
send young and inexperienced re-
porter to gathering where there was.
some wine, many pretty women and a
song or two. The reporter had an
hour or two in which to write up his
account, and he asked our editorial
friend what he should say about the
music. "Oh," was the reply, "say
Miss B. sang with tenderness, Miss G.
sang with brilliancy, Mr.. p. sang with
fire and somthing of that sort, and
make few comparisons, you know"
That reporter was discarged the very
next morning. A portion of his notice
read as follows: "Miss B. sang very
tenderly, as tender as young spring
lamb with mint sauce" &c. "Miss G.
played as brilliant as bunch of fire.
crackers on dark night, or as billiant
as meteoric shower" &c. "Mr. X.
sang with so much FIRE that he burned
up three sheets of music and set the
parfor curtains all ablaze.-[ Albany

The Baltimore Banner says: "a Gu.
rious incident occurred on North Col
lege street yesterday afternoon, the
truthfulness of which is vouched for
by several witnesses. A fugitive rat
had been hemmed in at the foot of the
stairway. 1t was allowed to remain
until big dog could be brought on
the outside, when the door was sudden.
ly opened and the rat jumped square
into the CANNES mouth. Before the
dog could clamp the rat between his
jaws it had gone on into that animals
throat. The dog was then observed to
undergo a sort of paroxysm, when all
at once his sides distended and out
came the rat, the canine being so bad
ly scared as to allow him to escape.

Colorado and Switzerland.

A correspondent who has Just taken
trip over the Kansas Pacific Railway
from Kansas city TO Denyer-nfter
giving o glowing description Of the
Grand Plains OF Kansas-the Buffalo
Antelope &c.,-institutes the following
comparison between the mountain
heights and the climate Of Colorado
and Switzerland:
A comparison Of heights between the
towns Of this neighborhood and some
points in Switzerland may perhaps be
Interesting. The highest part Of the
Splugen Pass is six thousand nine hun
bred feet above the sea the Right is
Ave thousand nine hundred st. Goth

tiCo hundred feet loWcr than Central
and Georgetown, four hundred feet
lower than the town Of Empire, and ut
least Ave thousand feet lower than the
winter quarters Of miners in the Como
70 lode, on Mount Lincoln. When 1
reached Central at New Years, there
was no snow on the ground nor any to
be seen in the canon-and rs for glaciers
and ayalanches, you might rs well look
for them in New York; md yet the lat
itude Of the central part Of Switzerland
is only seven degrees north Of that Of
our mountain towns. The air there in
winter is at intervals so soft and balmy
that ftrs are insupportable, and only
one moderate stove is needed in the
great parlor Of the Teller House. The
received idea here is that the immense
bulk of the Rocky Mountains radiates
more heat than would be received by o
larger proportion Of isolated peaks, or
single range, and thus moderates the
general tempentura, Quien sabeg

Treating Broken Arms and Legs.

Some twenty-five years ago o peculiar
method Of bandaging broken limbs be
came popular in Europe. It consisted
in using, in place Of dry bandage, one
saturated with boiled starch, and when
the limb was sufficiently enveloped with
many thicknesses, splints were tied ex.
teriorly to it, 80 as 10 keep the whole in
the right shape when drying. The
next day, when all was dry, the splints
were taken of, when the bandage was
Us hard rs stiff pasteboard, and formed
perfectly-fltting and inaeIible enyelop,
which kept the injured fragments per.
fectly inmovable in relation TO one an.
other; this Is tho only requisite for the
perfect healing and uniting OF the parts
OF broken bone, which takes place in
at most six weeks. This treatment has
been thoroughly tested, and found very
successful in cases Of broken bones in
calves, sheep, goats, chickens, etc; and
now the papers mention n modification
OF this idea in the case Of the broken
legs OF horses. Tho leg is carefully set
and is covered thickly with plaster.
When the plaster has "set, or harden.

Sight Of Animals,

Our domeSticated animals pay dearly
for their privileges, II would seem, for
dogs in avid state preserve their vision
unimpaired to the extreme period of
their life limitation, while domesticated
dogs see very imperieCtly in the course
of ten years, il they live so long. The
reason seems TO be owing to looking OF
fires in the house, exposed to candle or
gas lights, and being about dwellings,
where the sphere Of vision is limited by
the Intervention Of fences, edihces, etc.
Horses and cattle, who pass their lives
in tue outer air, have excellent eyeSght,
even to very advanced age. Civiliza.
ton has its drawbacks. Were it not
for white writing paper, artificial light,
stimulating drinks which quicken the
circulation to the engagement Of the
minute vessels in the interior OF the
organs, and pas:ing much of our time
in the midst Of rejecting lights from
surrounding objects, our eyes would be
about as good at threeScore and ten as
in the early days OF childhood.

River MhIrInool,.

Among the many phenomena OF the
Colorado river are "swirls," SO called.
They occur everywhere, but only at
high stages OF water. A bubble rises
from the bottom and breaks with q
slight sound on the surface. The water
OF the point begins q rotary motion, so
small that IN inverted teacup might
cover it. Larger and larger grows the
circle, till n surface Of forty feet in
diameter is in motion, spinning round
q funnel.shaped hole in the centre two
or three feet across at the top, and
coming to point in the depths below,
Often large tree floating down the
stream is caught and its foremost end
thrust up in the air twenty or thirty
feet, while the other passes underneath,
the exposed end to be slowly drawn
down agnin and to disappear. Three
soldiers, deserters from Camp Mohave,
passing in skif' through the ravine
Immediately below the fork, suffered
their craft to run into swirl. One OF
the crew at the drst intimation OF dan
ger, threw himself overheard beyond
the charmed circle, and as he swan
away, he turned his head and saw the
boat spin round and round, until one
end being drawn into the vortex and the
other upheayed in the air, it slowly sank
as it reyolyed into the turbid bosom of
the river, It's human freight to be seen
no more, for the Colorado river does
not give up the dead-no corpses lodge
on its shores,

How TO Drive a Horse.

Young man, / see you are about to
take drive, this morning, md will of
fer you some advice. Your horse is
FESTIVE and wants to be off before you
are ready you may as well break him
Of this now as at any other time, and
hereafter ysu will find it has been n
half hour well spent.
Just give me the reins, while you put
your foot on the step, as if to get IN /;
the horse makes move to 60 | tight
en- the reins and say whoa. Now put
your foot on the step again the horse
makes another move; hold the reins
and speak to him again. The horse is
getting excited. Pat him n little on
the neck, and talk to him soothingly.
Put your foot on the step again, and re-
peat this process until the horse will
stand still for you to get in, and adjust
yourself in your seat, and tell him to
go. A few such lessons will train him
so that he will always wait for your or.
der before starting.
Now rs your horse has Just been fed,
drive him ut u very gentle pace for the
first two or three miles, until he warns
up and his body becomes lighter. But,
before you start, let me show you how
to hold the reins. Take them in your
left hand, have them Of equal length
from the bit, and to cross each other in
your hand, the of side one resting on
your first finger, the other on the fourth
finger, the back Of the hand upward.
Now in guiding the horse, you have
only to use the wrist joint, which will
direct him either right or left, us you
wish. Keep your hand steady; with n
gentle pressure on the hit-no Jerking
or switching on the reins. II more
speed is wanted, take the whip in your
right hand, to be gently used for that
purpose, be careful not to apply it any
harder than is necessary to bring him
up to the required speed. Speak to
him soothingly, and intimate in the
most gentle manner, what you want him
to do, and lie will try to do it. So noble
an animal should not be handled rough
ly, nor over.lriven. When you return,
have the harness removed ut once, and
the horse rubbed down with wisp Of
straw or hay, and let him cool of before
being watered or fed. Every one who
handles horse, or has anything to do
with one, should, in the first place, cul-
tivate his acquaintance let him know
that you are his friend, and prove it to
him by your kind treatment; he needs
this to inspire confidence, and when
that is gained, he is your humble ser.
want, II your horse gets frightened at
any unusual sight or noise, do not whip
him, for il you do, he will connect the
whipping with the object that alarmed
him, and be afraid Of it ever after. II
he merely SHES at an object, give him
time to examine it, which, with some
encouraging words from the driver will
persuade him to pass it. You get
frightened, too, sometimes, and would
not like to get whipped for it,-Stock

How They Fish IN Palermo.

Fishing is mn important industry in
Palermo. Some Eve thousand OF the
inhabitants are engaged in it, and they
are formed, it is said, into regular
corporation, having, besides, officers,
surgeons and chaplains and o semi.
military government The principal
fish caught is the funny, much relished
by the Palermitans, IL was by their
ancestors the old Romans, Greeks, and
Carthaginians. Very large, weighing n
thousand pounds frequently, it is sold
after being cut into steaks, II is the
catfish Of the Mediterranean, and its
exposure in slices and its eager pur-
chase remind one OF similar scenes in
the towns along the Mississippi. The
funny is gregarious-enters tile Medi-
terranean in shoals early in the year,
and is caught in quantities in large
nets, in nearly the same manner as by
the ancients, during May, June, and
July. The Sicilians are reputed to be
fond Of novelty. Their fondness may
arise from their slight acquaintance
with it, like the hermit who loved oil
women because he had never known
any. Their mode Of taking funny is m
example. They have acquired no new
ideas respecting 1t in two thousand
years.
The nets, divided into four communi.
eating square spaces called rooms, are
moved cast and west about mile from
the shore, each Of the spaces at right
angles, fastened at the bottom with
stones, and aoated Mt the upperedge by
logs Of cork or other light wood. A
single net Of very wide meshes fastens
the whole to the shore. This arrests
the fish, drives them into the outer
room (bordonaro), which is raised a
triae and closed by the boatman keep.

in trying to escape, enter the nextroom

they dash into the other chambers. In

Commodore YanderbIIps Last Move.

The Albany Rnick says that Wander
bilt has made proposition to Captain
j. ]. Austin, the well known owner of
the Austin towing line, for q purchase
Of that immense Institution, which, in
itself, is nice little fortune TO any man.
The property Of the line is to-day val
ued ut 100000. II consists OF nine
powerful steamers, fifteen staunch
barges, and the real estate owned and
occupied by the line on the pier. His
object is to form complete line, by
railroad and boat, from Buffalo to New
York for the shipment OF freight, which
the increased facilities OF the Central
road must necessarily create. Wander
bilt is to build an immense qua at the
Albany basin, and run his cars directly
to the boats, to assist in unloading the
freight barges. This will materially
injure the freight business Of the Albany
and New York boats. Vanderbilt is
also to bnild two New York passenger
boats. These will cost $500, 900 each,
and will be arranged for the accommo-
dntion Of the public from stem to stern,
upon which not q pound Of freight will
be carried. Their comfort and convent
ence will eclipse anything ever put
ahoat on any waters.

A Good "Uncle..

"Uncle Cook is Boston philan.
thropist whose charitable propensities
are specially moved by the woes of the
criminal classes. He has been for some
time Chaplain Of the Suffolk County
Jail and in that capacity has done
much good. But his great work has
been in the Municipal Court OF Boston.
For the last ten years this faithful man
has been constant attendant at the
Court, watching specially after the in.
terest OF the unfortunate women who
are. there arraigned. His success has
been very marked, and, in not few
instances, he hNs reclaimed those who
have been called "hopeless cases" for
many years. The Court, recognizing
his usefulness, often places these unfor-
tunate women under his care, on proba.
ton. During the year ending June l,
he took in charge, In this manner, four
hundred and thirty.two persons, be-
coming personally responsible for their
good department. OF this number, 50
per cont. have proved not unworthy Of
the confidence which "Unclc Cook "
had intrusted in them. Some Of these
were victims OF intemperance, who have
been saved to life Of usefulness,
through the untiring zeal Of this good
man. Others were young girls, who
were saved or rescued from life Of
shame by "Uncle Cooks" care and
Christian kindngss.
