Taking Wood on the River.

At one point, when we supposed we
were comfortably holding our way in
the channel, a torch-light fared up, and
showed us nearing a scraggy bank. The
thin, long prov of the boat ran upon
the land. Gangways were lowered /;
pianks were run from the boats side to
the bank, two score negroes sprang
from some mysterious recess below, and
assembled forward before the capstan.
The shower of harmless sparks from the
torches cast momentary red CLEANS
over the rude but kindly black faces.
A sharp-voiced white man, whom we
learned afterwards to call the "Wasp,"
because he always flew nervously about,
stinging the sprawling negroes into ac-
tivity, thrust himself among the labor
ers. Twenty stings from his voice, and
the darkey forms plunged into darkness
beyond the gangways. Then other
torches were placed upon the bank
and long wood piles appeared. The
Wasp fitted restlessly from deck to
shore, while the negroes attacked the
wood-piles, and each taking half q
dozen sticks, hurried to the deck with
them. Presently there was an endless
procession of black forms from the
wood-piles to the vessel and plunging
back across the fiickering light, to tune
of loud adiurations and oaths from the
Wasp. Now and then the dusky chain
of laborers broke into a rude chant, be-
ginning with prolonged shout such as
"Ohl los my money dar!"
and followed by a gurgling laugh, as if
the singers were amused at the sound
of their own voices. The Wasp, always
kindly and well-disposed towards the
negroes, despite his rough ways, broke
into appeal, threat, and entreaty, when
one of The darlies stumbled or Jagged.
Then it was that he cried raspingly,
ssYou, Reuben - 90 You, Black Hawk =
with an oath. "Come on there, You
Washington amt you going to heal
me p Sometimes the Wasp sped among
the negroes, singing them into such &C
tivity that a whole wood-pile vanished
as if swallowed by an earthquake. 81
il was that in two hours and a half sixty
cords of wood were transferred from thu
bank to the boat, and the Wasp, calling
/ the palpitating wood-carriers around
him. thus addressed them, Now, yoJ
boys. listen. You, Black Hawk, do yoI
hear, Won and these three, FIRST watch

Tame Bears.


Bears when quite little cubs are very
sociable and intelligent, and they easily
become amusing pets but even in cub
hood they are subject TO sudden and M
accountable fits of anger. L have seen
my own bear, even though little fell
low the size of sheep dog, when in a
bad humor suck his fore paws until they
were one mass of frost-like soap-snds.
All the while he was sucking his paws
he was making a most curious and in
ceassnt cllattering noise with his EPo
and teeth. 1t was then dangerous to go
near him. AS bear cubs get older and
stronger, they gradually assume their
natural wildness; do not say ferocity,
| because a bear when in good temper is
a very gentle creature; but when per-
chance he has one of his fits of anger
upon him no one should go near him,
and he becomes "as savage as a bear.
Bears have immense power with their
fore arms They have no clavicles, i. g.
collar-bones, but yet their paws and
forearm muscles are so arranged that
they are most agile and nimble climbers.
They are very fond of pine forests
Painters of Norwegian forests often put
a bear into their pictures; and as bears
will climb for acorns in the forests of
Florida, so they viii climb for stale
buns on the pole in the bear-pit at the
geological gardens. When at home in
the wilderness, they select comfortable
dens among the rocks, or a nice hollow
tree, for their habitations; and thence
they go out to look for their dinners.
The teeth of the bear will show he is
not purely carniverous animal, like a
tiger or a wolf; he will eat insects, dig
ging for them with his tremendous
claws he also likes berries /: and he Of
ten turns over old logs of trees in the
forest for the worms. beetles and other
insects he somehow knows are under
meath. He is very fond of honey and
does not mind scratching up the farm
er's potatoes, eating them on the spot if
he can get chance. He does not OBJ

and purposes our English badger is a

Tha situation in Madrid.

The situation is grave. There is
serious misunderstanding bteween Min
lister Sickles and the Spanish cabinet.
On the arrival of the news of the cap
ture of the Virginius, President Castel-
lar called at the United States legation
and expressed regret and ordered sus-
pension of the sentence. When Secre-
tary Fish telegraphed the news of the
executions, Gen. Sickles sent note de-
manding q stay. The foreign secretary
answered, questioning the accuracy OF
the informstion, and intimating that
Gen. Sickles was not authorized. There
upon Gen. Sickles in the name of the
United States addressed a formal pro-
test against the inhuman butcheries and
insult to the United States flag, and
demanded that, Spain should enforce
obedience to her orders in Cuba, and in
sisted on the rights of Americans
to trial under treaty of 1876. He
complained that the American consul at
Santiago was prevented from using the
telegraph to Washington The Spanish
minister answered that the whole mat
ter was wholly municipal affair between
Spain and the Yirginius pirates. SpaiB
could not tolerate American interfeI-
ence. The interview ended by Gen.
Sickles demanding that Spain order a
suspension of executions. The Spanish
minister of foreign affairs haughtily de
clined to permit Gen. Sickles to discuss
the municipal affairs Of Cuba. The in
terview terminated angrily, Gen. Sickles
saving he would hold no more personal,
but only official relations with the min
ister. Public feeling runs high. The
Spanish government blames the United
States for the Cuban insurrection, anC

The Smokers Millennium.

The golden age of the smokers par
adise has at length arrived. There has
landed upon the sacred soil of Virginia
a German fact which, taken by itself
might not appear very startling prop
osition, because Germans have arrived
before, and may in all probability ar
rive again. This is a professor, and
his mission is to lay tobacco smoke in
houses like gas. Now, may the lord of
creation smoke the calumet beneath his
own vine aud fig tree. none makeing him
afraid. The millennium of smoke ap-
proaches. Death to matrimony. The
aaOd1tS Operaq1di is thus-wise The to-
bacco is burned in large retorts, and the
smoke passes through pipes to large
receptacle of boiler iron, where it will
be cooked, purified and so scented that
it will have the flavor of the finest Ha-
vana cigar. From the smOkOmeter, a
main pipe viii lead up into the city,
and from this will be run small branch
pipes, leading to all the principal houses
in town. A meter viii guage the guam
tity, Just like gas. In each room there
will be long, flexible tube with an
amber mouth-piece, and the smoker will
only have to turn on a small silver
thumb-sorew and the thing is done.
Delicious idea! Who but a German
could have dreamt of it Nor is this
all. The undaunted professor, this
Fulton of smoke-stacks, has invented
India rubber receptacles fitting to the
chest, which, when filed with smoke,
will greatly improve the appearance.
The thing is beautifully and easily done.

The sleep of Plants.

The phenomenon called the sleep of
plants was first observed by the illus
trious Swedish botanist, Linn@us. He
remarked in the bird's-foot trefoil the
difference between the attitude of the
leaves during the day and night. He
almost Immediately concluded that this
would prove to be a general phenOme-
non in vegetable life. Continuing his
observations, Linneus soon satisfied
himself that this change in the position
of leaves during the night is observable
in many vegetables. He regarded the
absence of light, and not the nocturnal
cold, as the principal cause of the phe-
nomena for plants in lighthouses close
themselves during the night, like those
in the open air. He found the differ
ence between waking and sleeping to be
much less apparent in young plants
than in more matured ones, being most
clearly indicated among the compound
leaves. The object, he thought, is to
shelter the young shoots from the effect
of the air. These strange phenomena
occur III hAl ODANAAeAN4Ao ~
the atmosphere, and are uninhuenced
by changes of temperature. De Can
dole, supposing the cause of the phe-
nomena to be the absence of light, sub
iected plants to the action of artificial
light, with very varied results. He
concluded from his experiments, that
the movements of sleeping and waking
are connected with some disposition in
herent in the vegetable, but which is
thrown into special activity by the slim
ulating action of light, which acts with
different intens ty on different vegeta-
bles, so that the same amount of light
produces different results in different
species.

Chased BY a Powdsr-Keg:

Several months since store-boai
sunk near the little town of Rons,
which had on board among other things
several kegs of powder. One keg was
carried upto Mr.. Galey's and was kicked
around the yard for several days, but
at last the inquisitiveness of Mr.. G.
Overcame his accustomed prudence, and
he determined TO experiment upon that
keg. The powder had caked and be-
come, to all appearance, a solid mass,
but was IN fact streaked all through
with little veins of dry powder, which
the water had affected very little Mr..
G. applied torch to the mouth of the
keg, and after considerable scraping
and pcking, the fire took hold a few
seconds before Mr. q. let go. The keg
made puff like an infant Vesuvius,
and bounded up the hill like a fright
ened coon-endwise. It pulled and
smoked a few moments, when it made
another spring into the air, turned over
several times, and made straight for Mr..
g.. who by this time became somewhat
frightened and began to call for water.
This reused the CENTRE family, and while
Mr.. @. and his eldest son were Yainiy
endeavoring to capture the keg, and
kept busy in avoiding it in its peregri-
nations, the other members we're busy
heaving bucketful after bucketful in
the direction of the kicking keg. One
bound, more lofty and vigorous than
any of the preceding ones, carried the
animated keg to the top of the house,
where it sized and buzzed and whizzed
behind the chimney, until it finally
rolled of and landed Just in front of Mr.
g., who sprang astride the smoking
thing and yelled for more water. It
came. Bucketful after bucketful was
thrown upon the man and keg as they
rolled over and over the ground, filling
the air with smoke and SCOT and cuss
words, until the fire IN the keg and the
curiosity in Mr.. q. were both totally ex-
tineuished. The bare sight of a pow
der-keg is sufficient 10 cause a cold
streak to run down Mr.. G.'s spinal

stood In doorway, stamping his feet TO

down IN his pockets. and keeping keen
watch and ward over the 1ifting-ma-
chine. He looked up the street aud
down the street, and over the way at the
hack-stand, and up at the court house,
and then refreshed his soul by inspect
ing the assortment of fall and win. er
hats IN an adjoining window, and still
nobody came to test thesr muscul ar
powers on the lifting machine. The
more the machine man stamped his
feet and kept feeling nothing but de-
ferred hope at the bottom of his pock-
cts, and the more he tried TO determine
what sort of q hat he would buy if he
only had the necessary ducats, and the
more he looked up and down and all
around, the more nobody seemed to
come and test the hidden mysteries Of

turned to his stand IN the doorway,

only a nibble; it wasn't bite. It was
q small boy of the bOot-black persua-
sion, who had watched the machine
man go for his peanuts, and then walked
coolly and deliberately up and sneaked
a lift. ssOne touch of nature makes the
whole world kin" The lifting-machine
man took in the situation at a glance,
and he let the small boy OF the boot
b. ack persuasion go en- sneaking a lift
until he grew purple in the face. One
creature in the world was happy for the
moment, and that was the boot-black
boy. And while the lifting machine
man was indulging in the luxury of pea
nuts, why should he interfere with a
momentary pleasure, snatched from a
world of great wants by poverty akin to
his own.-St LOttts Republican.

Peter,s Pence.

1t is we'll known that of late years
His Holiness Pope Plus has been very
largely supported by the contributions
of "the faithful throughout the
world. which have been collected under
the ancient and historic name of St.
Peters Pence. The Unita Cattolica
gives the following statistics of the an
nual receipts, which, We believe, have
never before been published together.
In 1861 the "Pence amounted to
Ia, Is4, 600 francs in 1862 to g, 4O2, COO ;
in 1868 to 7.947, 600; in 1864 to 8, $50,
600; in 1865 to 6,445, 600; IN 1866 TO
I. .939. 600; in 1867 to 1872, 600; in
1868 70 IL, 900, coo; thus giving total
of n. .16I, 600 francs in eight years.
The exact sums collected in the last
four or FIVE years are not given,
but the same authority states that they
are greatly in excess of previous years,
and reckons that the total of ' Peters
Pence" collected up to the present time
cannot fall much short of 400, ,OOO, 600
francs. The great falling of in the
wears 1886 is accounted for by the
same authority and by Catholic opinion
on the ground that, after all, the tenn
poraI possessions Of His Holiness were
safe, and that consequently he had less
urgent need Of external subsidies.

aranes "a Poad

Men can live and work on grapes and
bread. The peasantry Of France, Spain
and Italy make many a satisfying meal
in this way, and Of the whOlesOmeness
of the diet there can be no doubt.
Medical men constantly recommend the
use of grapes for their patients.
Scarcely any plant can equal the vine as
regards the beauty Of its leaves and
fruit. As a covering for bare walls and
for affording shelter and shade it is a
climber of the first rank. To sit under
ones own vine has IN all ages been con-
sidered the acme Of rural happiness
and emblem Of peace, a symbol of plen-
ty and a picture Of oontentment. That
pleasure, though perhaps not in all its
fullness, may become the heritage Of
