LIVING ON COAL.

An English paper gives an account of
a pig that was lost on a screw steamer in
the port of New Orleans. It was pre-
sumed that the pig found its way on
shore the day the steamer landed,
though no tidings were heard of him
by sailors who went in search of the
fugitive. The vessel lay for Eve weeks
in port, during which time her supply
of coal was increased. When three
weeks out, on the return trip from Liv.
erpool, and exactly eight weeks from
the time of his mysterious disappear
ance, the pig was discovered alive in the
coal room, where he had had nothing
but coal to subsist upon. He was not
in very good condition, and was tolera-
bly, thirsty, but by change of diet he
improved very fast, and at the time the
vessel arrived in Liverpool was as live
ly as if he had enjoyed the run Of a
clover pasture. 49, l-. "a =

A. SPIRIT BABY.

The New York correspondent Of the
Missouri Republican concludes a recent
letter with this: There's a school
marm down. East who has phantom
scholar, you've all heard about. But q
Southern lady was in this city last week
who has q spirit baby. -Four months
ago she lost child of five months. She
is . delicate, fragile creature, and the
loss of her baby nearly killed her. -Four
days after the little creatures death, and
Just at dusk, she became aware of some
thing pulling at her dress, and there was
her little baby back upon her bosom.
From that time to this the baby comes
back to be nursed as the evening shadows
fall. She can not see it, but she feels
its little hands padding about, as q
baby's will, and those around her can
see her dress disarranged, her collar
pulled, and the indentation, on her
bosom made by the invisible fingers of
the spirit baby. Her physician is stag
gered There is no alteration in her
physical condition; everything goes on
as if she was nourishing q living child.
The lady is not spiritualist, is exces-
siyely refined and aristocratic, and she
shrinks from making the phenomenon
public, but every night she cradles in

SMOKING COUNTRIES.

As one travels in the wine districts of
France on frosty nights, he is half suf-
focated by the dense smoke which fills
the air and overhangs the whole coun-
try. Upon inquiry he finds that this
smoke arises from casks Of tar, and that
it is designed to protect the vineyards
from frost by creation of artificial
clouds. It is said that the same expert
ment has been tried in Maryland for the
protection of fruit trees, with consider
able success. 1t seems pity to resort
to processes for fruit protection which
destroy the beauty Of the landscape, de-
file the air, and add to the gloom of life.
Any one who has been in great manu-
featuring districts will recall the thick
and smoky atmosphere with shudder,
and what shall we do when not only
large towns but vineyards and gardens
are also overhung with a leaden pail I?
But if there is profit in smoke, it will
certainly be made, and the old adage
about "an ending in smoke" will lose a
part of its force.

A PROMISING BoY.-A boy of tender
years and heart has drowned seventeen
kittens, tied tin pans to the tails Of all
the neighbors' dogs, ornamented his
chamber by pinning flies to the wall, cut
brick-bats with his uncle's razor, blown
up a pet canary with Q fre-cracker,
pulled the tail feathers out of two
roosters, been thrown into the top of an
apple tree by a COW that he was teasing,
brushed his fathers hat against the
grain, told his sisters lover about her
false teeth, and still his fond mother
intends him for the pulpit. Dambury

HANDWRITING.

Was Chesterfield correct when he said
that "every man who has the use of
his eyes and his right hand can write
whatever hand he pleases ?" If 50,
would Byron have put his burning verse
into such a miserable schoolboy scrawl,
Emerson write SO sprawling hand, or
Napoleon /. have written the worst hand
on record-so bad that his letters to
Josephine from Germany were some
times mistaken for maps of the seat Of
war? No doubt the vileness of his pot
hooks was aggravated by the speed with
which he wrote. Jacob Bryant said Of
Archdeacon Coxe's hieroglyphics, that
they could be called neither a hand nor
a fist, but foot, and that a club one.
Sydney Smiths hand, with theexception
of Jefrey's, was the worst that Con-
stables printers had to puzzle out for
the Edinburgh Revie,o. He himself
compared it to the hieroglyphics of q
swarm of ants escaping from an ink
bottle, and walking over sheet Of paper
without wiping their legs. When his
wife inclosed to him an ilegible passage
from one of his letters from London,
containing direction about the manage
ment of his farm, and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION, he simply returned it with the
remark that he must decline ever read
ing his own handwriting "a hours after
he had written it.
Rufus Choate's handwriting could not
be deciphered without the help of pair
of compasses and quadrant. The best
specimens look like the hieroglyphics on
a Chinese tea-chest. Having been in
vited on certain occasion to address q
public meeting in New Hampshire, he
replied by, letter; but the committee,
after puzzling for hours over the scrawl,
despaired of deciphericg it, and were
obliged to send special messenger to
learn his answer. a-s o.
