Reporting Extraordinary.

Queer things happen in newspaper
offices. Recently brother journalist
in suburban town, with a fiourishing
weekly oA his hands, was obliged to
send young and inexperienced report
er to gathering where there was some
wine, many pretty women and songor
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. essay Miss b. sang with
tenderness, Miss G. played with bril-
liancy, Mr.. X. sang with fire and some
thing of that sort, and make few COM
parisons, you know" That reporter
was discharged the very next morning
A portion of his notice read as follows:
Miss B. sang very tenderly, as tender
as young spring lamb with mintsauce, "
&c. "NIiss G. played as brilliant as a
bunch of fire. crackers on dark night,
or as brilliant as a meteoric shower, y
&c. "Mr. X. sang with so much fire
that he burned up three sheets of music
and set the parlor curtains all ablaze. u

Poor Jacks Tribulations.
A shanghaed Crew from New York,
Composed of Tnfiors, BARRIERS, Shoes
makers, Carpenters, and Grocers. Doing
Duty Before the Mast.

A shanghaed Crew from New York,
Composed of Tnfiors, BARRIERS, Shoo-
makers, Carpenters, and Grocers. Doing
Duty before the Mast.
An issue of the San Francisco ditn
contains the following, which should
be Immediately investigated by the
proper authorities: The ship Baltic,
from New York. arrived in port with u
crew of landubbers in the forecastlc
aud grateful captain on the quarter
deck. The Baltic left New York for
San Francisco, with fair prospect OF
reaching any point but the place OF
destination. Her crew was composed
Of material foreign to the ocean. Some
could manipulate the shears and goose,
others the jack plane, others the awl
and lapstone, others could package tea
and sugar in papers to suit, and others
still could exercise the diplomacy of
distinguished statesmen to effect the
sale of a yard of calico. A yard of
counter would suit them better than q
mile of bowline. The captain of the
Baltic had, among his tars, tinkers,
tailors, BARRIERS, brewers, bakers, cob
blers, carpenters, brouge makers, clerks
and greengrocers.
There is at present fierce struggle
waFed in New York between the Ship
ping Commissioner and the sailor land
lords. They are each striving TO obtain
the mastery. The landlords want Jack S
money, and Uncle Sam wants to pro-
tect him in his rights. The captains
and consignees, or many of them, favor
the landlords because they profit by it,
and it often happens that a captain is
glad to get crew from any source.
The captain of the Baltic was treated
to crew outside the Shipping Com
missioner's Office, every one of whom
was shanghaed. But the captain
proved to be an exception to the average
of his class. He is a humane man, who
saw what he had to deal with and
measured his conduct accordingly. He
did not himself ill-treat or abuse his
men or permit any OF his officers to do
so. He taught them without the appli-
cation of Delaying pins. When the
drowsy creatures awoke from the stupor
into which they had been thrown by the
drugs administered to them by the
landlords their surprise can be imagi-
ned. They were at sea they were on
a new territory, of which the captain
was king, and from which there was no
side door or means of escape. 1t was
not necessary to tell the captain their
story he knew and appreciated it.
When the. Baltic entered port the
facts about the shipping of the crew
became known, and, like sensible fel.
lows, the shanghaed are now looking
around them for damages. They have
made complaint to the United States
Attorney, and Mr.. Morrow has their
case now in hand. That shanghaing
is crime there can be no doubt, but
this is not the question which enters
most deeply into the case. It's de-
velopments will attract general interest,
as it is one of vast importance to com,
merce. II the captain of ship who
takes on board shanghaed crew in
New York can, be punished and held for
civil damages upon his arrival here We
will have less shanghaed crews and
fewer acts of cruelty to record.

East River Bridge.

Both towers of the East River Bridge
are now finished to the r0adway-that
is, up 1l9 feet above Dean high water
mark-but in the centre of the main
there will be a rise of 16 feet, making
the height 135 feet above high water
mark.
On the Brooklyn side the three
columns standing on the tower are
complete up to the point of turning the
arches, and several courses of masonry
have been laid above this point. These
columns run 4S feet upward. The two
corner ones are "a feet wide; the centre
one is Is feet inches wide. The two
open spaces on line with the roadway
are each 33 feet inches wide, while
the entire width of the bridge is So
feet. The arches now in progress will
measure 80 feet from apex to top of
column, and above this will be an ad-
ditional structure, through which the
cables are to pass. including an eleva-
tion of ~ feet to form cOrnices and
balustrades, making the total height
above high water $50 feet. The excava-
tions for the Brooklyn approach have
been going on for some time. Six
courses of masonry are already laid,
bringing the work up to the surface
ground. The heavy anchor plates and
one set of bars for attaching the cables
| are already in position on james street,
at n point 97l feet from the tower.
The New York approach, like the
Brooklyn one, will be 100 feet wide.
IT will begin near the City Hall and be
continued to Franklin square, where
one end of the cable is to he anchored.
From the City Hall to the tower is
1862 feet, or three ,tenths of mile
The ascent and descent will be gradual
and easy to pedestrians on both sides
1t is understood, that when a person
starts for a trip from New York tc
Brooklyn, the matter of mounting lis
feet over buildings and above the mas
of ships will hardly be felt, while the
descent will be equally gentle-hardly
perceptible.

Ostrich Hatching.

We learn from a Grahamstown (Cape
Colony paper that ostrich Matching by
artificial means is successfully carried
on at Hilton, in the colony. The edi-
tor says: "We saw the incubator, and
in it forty-five eggs, in the process OF
Matching. This operation is now per-
formed to almost perfection, quite
equal to anything the parent birds can
do themselves, even supposing they are
unmolested and escape all kinds of ac'
cidents to which they are exposed. Out
of the forty five eggs we saw, we may
safely conclude forty-two would pro
duce live and healthy chicks. The re-
suits now, of several patches, are four
teen out of fifteen to be Matched; and
Mr.. Douglass seems pretty sanguine
that he shall presently hatch all the
eggs placed in the incubator" There
are one hundred and fifty-fve ostriche'
at Hilton, of which seventy-five are this
wears chickens,

A Struggle with n Devil Fish.

Mr.. Charles B. Brainerd, OF Boston,
in writing 10 the ,ScientHc 1mertcoa
about specimens Of the devil Dsh, re-
lates this interesting incident:
The strength which these creatures
pogsess is almost beyond coinprehcn-
sion, ns is cvinced by what took place
when my pet (J was captured. He had
seized hold Of sub.marine diver, at
work in the wreck Of BuEken steamer
Off the coagt of Florida. The man was
a powerful Irishman. who claimed ~
weigh 300 pounds. His size and build
fully verified his statement, aud, to use
his own language, "the baste lan,ied on
top of my shoulders and pinned my
arms tight. / felt my armor and my
self being cracked into q jelly" 1t
seems that he was just about being
brought to the surface, else the monster
would have killed him, for he was suf-
fering so from the terrible embrace that
he oould move no part of himself.
When dragged on to the raft from which
he had descended, and finally released,
he had tainted. The men on the raft
seized the fish by one of its wriggling
arms and tiled to pull it of, bnt could
not break the power of single one OF
the suckers. The fish was only re-
moved by being dealt q heavy blow
a ,ross the sack containing the stomach.
This sack stood stiff1y up above the
eyes, while the eyes stood out like lob
sters' eyes and cleaned like fire. The
monster is, all in all, one of the most
frightful apparitions it could be the fate
of man to meet. 1t fulfills in every par
ticular the horrible features attributed
to it in Victor Hugo's "Toilers of the
Sea-" Notwithstanding the severity
with which the able Freuchman has
been criticised for "creating monde
script with his weird imagination" the
truth must be granted that his "nonde-
script" has an actual existence, as is
evidenced by the specimens in Brighton
and Hamburg, as we'll as my own.

The Smack In School,

district school not far away,
Mid Berkshire hills, one winters day.
Was humming with its wonted noise
or three-score mingled girls and boys
Some few upon their tasks intent,
But more on furtive mischief bent;
The while the masters downward look
Was fastened on copy-book;
When suddenly, behind his back,
Rose sharp and clear q rousing SMACK!
As twerc battery of bliss
Let off in ono tremendous kiss
what's that = the startled master cries
Wath William Willith. il you pleathe--
thaw him kith Thuthannah Peathe!n
VITA frown to make a statue thrill,
Inc master thundered. " Hither. Willw
Like wretch o'ertaken ia his track,
With stolen chattels Oh his back.
viii hung his head with fear and shame,
And to the awful presence came
\ great, green, bashful simpleton,
The butt of all good-natured fun
With smile suppressed, and birch appraised,
lhe threatener faltered-" I'm amazed
That you, my biggest pupil, should
BE guilty of an act so rude,
Before the whole set school TO boot
What evil genius put you to't?"

L didn't mean to be so bad
But when Susannah shook her curls.
And whispered was 'fraid of girls,
And dursn't kiss baby's doll,

But up and kissed her on the spot.
