BOYS, Read and Heed This !

Many people seem to forget that char
acter'' grows ; that it is notsomething to
put on, ready made with womanhood or
manhood but, day by day, here a lit
tie and there a little, grows with the
growth and strengthens with the
strength, until, good or bad, it becomes
almost a coat of mail. Look at man
of business-prompt, reliable, con-
scientious, yet clear-headed and ener-
getic. When do you suppose he de-
veloped all these admirable qualities
when he was a boy? Let us see the
way in which boy of ten years gets up
in the morning, works, plays, studies,
and we will tell you Just what kind of a
man he will make. The boy who is late
at breakfast, and late at school, stands a
poor chance to be n prompt man. The
boy who neglects his duties, be they ever
50 small, and then excuses himself by
saying, 81 forgot Ididnt think !" will
never be n reliable man. And the boy
who finds pleasure in the suffering OF
weaker things, will never be noble,
generous, kindly mana gentleman.

The Bishop and the Miners.

A good story is going the round of
some circles in Wolverhampton, Eng
land. 1t is said that some time ago the
Bishop of Lichfeld had been at church
in the Black Country, and, as is often
the case with his lordship, instead of
riding in carriage when returning, he
walked the distance between the church
and the railway station, or other place
to which he was going. On the way he
met number of men "squatting" to-
gether on the ground, in miner-like
fashion, and he suggested to the gen.
tleman who was accompanying him, that
they should say few words to those
men. This, also, is favorite practice
with the Bishop, who is always ready
to offer n word in season whenever a
favorable opportunity presents itself.
Going, therefore, TO the men, O CONVEX
sation somewhat to the following effect
is alleged to have ensued: "Well, my
good men, what are you doing?" asked
his lordship. eve bin a loyin'," re-
piled one of the number. "You are
lying" responded the Bishop, wying,

said the man. But what do you
mean ?" "Why, yer see," was the ex-
planation vouchsafed, zone on us has
fun kettle, and we bin a trying who
can tell the biggest lie to have it. :"
Trying to tell the biggest lie y ex-
claimed the astonished Bishop, "what
shocking thing )" and then his lord
ship proceeded to inform the men that
he had always been brought up with the
greatest horror of lying he had been
taught that one of the greatest sins was
to tell lie. The men listened patient
>ho had been looking intently at the
Bishop, suddenly exclaimed, on hearing
his lordship say 'thath had never in his
life told lie, "Gie tn governor the

his walk, highly amused, though some
what "crestfallen.

A Fish Story.

The New Orleans Times tells sim
gular story of the danger incurred by
boy who was attacked by huge gar
fish while bathing with some companions
in the Old Basin Canal near that city.
1t is as follows They had been in the
water but few minutes, when one of
the boys, lad about eleven years old,
was attacked by q very large gar-fish
and came near losing his life,- first from
drowning, and then from the effusion OF
blood, resulting from the wound in
ficted by the teeth of the gar. The
fish is described by the lad as having
been large indeed, and judging from
the Loldness of the attack, and the
power manifested in the struggle, there
can be no doubt but that it must have
been all the boy described it to be. The
first intlmation lie had of the presence
of the fish was seeing it dash at him.
In an instant it caught him by the arm,
and twice he was dragged underneath
the water. Each time as he came to the
surface he called to his companions to
save him.
The lacerated arm bled freely, and
the water for considerable distance
around the, scene of the struggle was
crimsoned. Horrified at the sight, and
alarmed almost to stupefaction, it was
some moments before any of the boys
could make up their minds to go to his
rescue. At last an elder brother of the
lad went to his relief, and we are in
formed that it was with no little diff
Guilty that he succeeded in wrestling him
from the jaws of the fish. The fish had
bitten him on the left arm near the
wrist, and the blood continued to flow
with such force and rapidity that 1T was
feared he would bleed to death before
assistance could be had. An old lady,
however, happened to be passing at
that instant, and to staunch the flow OF
blood she tore strips from her dress,
and with them bound up the bleeding
arm. The question has been raised
whether or not it was an alligator, and
not a gar-fish, that attacked the boy.
The lad asserts it was q gar, but re-

The Vienna Comet,

DR.. G. Fl. F. Peters, of the Litchfeld
Observatory of Hamilton College, has
announced in n letter to the Utica
Herald, his observation of the comet,
the discovery of which was announced
in kilograms from Vienna to Washing
ton. DR.. Peters writes:
"The comet discovered in Europe
on July 3, in the constellation of Cetus,
was observed here-thanks to the az
rangement made through the Smith
sonian Institution for conveying i'm
mediate communication by Atlantic
cable If astronomical discoveries. The
comet in the telescope is rather large,
and not at all faint object, with a fine
stellar point, or nucleus. The coma
shows q brushy outline on the side
opposite the sun, and may develop into
"A tail, if the comet should be on its way
to approaching earth and sun. This,
of course, cannot be acertained until
further observations furnish data suf-
fcent for computing the orbit In that
case, it may, perhaps, make some more
conspicuous display, even to the naked
eye. The position of the comet was in
four degrees and twenty minutes of
right ascension, and four degrees and
forty-seven minutes of south declina-
ton, moving daily few minutes to
the south, increasing it's right ascension
by about three-quarters of degree.

Precautions Against Sleep.

With many celebrated men, the fear
that they might exceed their regular
hours of sleep amounted to a bugbear,
and prompted them to adopt odd con-
trivances to awaken them at the right
time. "My old friend Rossiter," says
Mr.. Owen, fixed his alarm, so that, at
the foreordained moment, the bed
clothes were dragged from the bed and
Rossiter lay shivering. L have myself
somewhere the drawings and specifca-
tions for a patent (Which 1 never ap-
piled for), which arranges set of cams
and wheelwork under the bedstead,
which, at the moment appointed, lift
the pillow end six feet, and deliver the
sleeper on the now horizontal footboard.
He is not to sleep long after that. Ros-
sitter found another contrivance which
worked better. The alarm-clock struck
a match, which lighted the lamp which
boiled the water for his shaving. II
Rossiter stayed in bed too long, the
water boiled over upon his rozor, and
clean shirt, and prayer-book his mother
gave him, and Coleridge's autograph,
and his open pocket-book, and all the
other precious things he could put in a
basin underneath when he went to bed ;
so he had to get up before that moment
came" The Duke of Wellington Away
slept in an iron camp bedstead eighteen
inches wide. "When a man wants to
turn over" he said "it is time for him
to turn out" The Emperor Nicholas
did the same

Paper from Corn Husks.

Il is said that the German paper
manufacturers have, of late, been very
successful in the production of paper
and cloth from corn husks. The husks
are first boiled with an alkali in tubular
boilers as a result of which the fibres
of the husks are found at the bottom of
the boiler in a spongy condition, filled
with gelatinous substance or dough,
which latter is pressed out from the
ibres by hydraulic process, leaving the
fibrein the shape of longitudinal threads,
interspersed with dense mass of short
fibre. Linen that is made from the
long fibres is said to furnish a very good
substitute for the coarser kinds of flax
and hemp, while it is superior to jute,
gunny cloth, and the like. The paper,
for which mostly the short fibres are
used-the long fibres being employed
for spinning-is stronger than the paper
of the same weight from linen or cotton
rags, and is hard and firm in grain. II
is very durable, and can be made ex
tremely transparent, without sacrificing
any portion of it's strength. The yield
of the husks employed for the purpose
is said to be 80 per cent. of fibre, 10 o.
gelatine, and 60 of dough.

The Case OF Lord Gordon.
wbotitis all About.


The attempted arrest of Lord George
Gordon in the North West has attracted
no little attention. United States
Consul Taylor has published the follow
ing synopsis of the case. He says !:
Having in common with the entire COM
munity, misapprehended the claim of
the legal right to arrest Gordon, and
the letters addressed to me on the
subject being in costody, have availed
myself of information from Hon. e.
M. Wilson, from Minnesota, to present
statement of the grounds which, if |
am permitted to appear, am prepared
to urge upon this court, and L feel,
therefore, justified in making the pres
ent publication. Gordon was arrested
in New York for embezzlement. Rob-
erts released him from from prison by
becoming his bail for $37, 500. Gordon
ran away to Manitoba. AS the bond
was about to become forfeited, Rob-
eyts procures proper exemplifications OF
the bail-piece and executes power of
attorney to Hay, authorizing him to act.
Hay, with the authority, goes with an
assistant to Manitoba and makes the
arrest by common law. A bail has the
right to take his principal wherever and
whenever he can find him. When n
prisoner is released from prison, he is
considered in the continual custody OF
his bail This right is not controlled
by States or national lines, but ruls
wherever the common law exists, if the
right has not been taken away by statute
treaties, and extractions of laws have
nothing to do with the question. They
relate to delivery for crimes. Gordon
is not sought on account of embezzle-
ment, but to relieve Roberts of his lia-
aility. There is no process, no inter
national arrangement by which Roberts
can obtain him. No government de-
mand can be legally made or responded
to for the purpose of restoring Gordon
to his bail. Roberts must take him by
his common law right. What Roberts
can do, his duly authorized agent can
do. The taking of Gordon by Hay was
no violation of law. The common law
right exists in Manitoba, uncontrolled
by any statute. 1t has been frequently
ruled in the United States that the bail
had the right to come from one State
into another to take his principal. The
Jurisdiction of the different States are

Manitoba, and it is rested wholly on
the common law principal, equally in
force here as there. With this exposi-
tion, submit that the gravity of the
question involved, as well as the inter
ests of both countries required that al
testimony which the defense is ready tc
show should be admitted, and as an act
of international courtesy, that Wilson
may be heard during the present exam
nation. think it not inappropriate
for me to add that from an examination
and knowledge of all the facts. it vii
appear that there was no intention Oh
the part of any one to violate the inter
national law or to insult this Govern
ment, bnt that every one connected witt
it sincerely believed that they were act

The Duties Of Common Carriers.

The last number of the Albany LaW
journal gives the following report
The Superior Court of New York, at
General Term, has affirmed the judg-
ment of the court below, entered upon
II verdict for $1,000 in favor of the
widow Putnam, the victim of the car
hook murder, against the Seventh
Avenue Railroad Company, for injuries
sustained through the murder of her
husband upon one of the company's
cars. The court adhered to the doctrine
laid down in Goddard v. The Grand
Trunk Railroad Company, and kindred
cases, that common carrier is bound, !,
"not only to guard each passenger
from violence and assault of its agents
and employees, but from the assaults and
violence of other passengers carried in
the same conveyance, and from other
causes of discomfort or injury which
could have been rea>onably anticipated
or prevented. This is the only reason

Fishermen Lost.

A Cape Cod paper gives some statis-
tics of the loss of life and of vessels by
fishermen from Gloucester, Mass, dur
ing the past forty-two and q half years.
1t says: "Thcre have been lost from
Gloucester since 1880, 1,251 lives and
2S1 vessels-valued at nearly 81, ,500,-
000-in the fishing and coasting bust
ness, averaging upward of twenty-nine
lives and six vessels yearly. The value
of the vessels lost is 81 ,493, 222 their
insurance $500, ,195, mostly in the local
offices. Ninety-two of these vessels
were lost in the Georges fishery, little
over one.third of the whole number
ifty-six in the Bay of st. Lawrence
mackerel fishery, ,twenty-nine in theshore
mackerel fishery, twenty in the shore cod
fishery, twentythree in the Grand and
Western Bank fishery, eighteen in the
Newfoundland herring fishery, two in
the Grand Menan herring fishery, one
in the Greenland halibut fishery, thirty
three in the coasting trade, six burnt
by the rebel pirate Tacony, and one
pilot-boat lost in Gloucester harbor.
AS there is no record of the number OF
widows and orphans previous to 1858,
it is impossible to get Mt the correct
number, but it is probable they would
average about the same proportion as
those of the last fourteen years-the
number of married men being about
one-third of the whole number lost
and averaging two children to man.
This would give. in round numbers
400 widows and 800 fatherless children
left destitute by the disasters of the
past forty-two years, an average of ter
widows and twenty children yearly
which is not large estimate.
