A YentrlloduIst Joke.

There was much excitement on the

gone far the occupants Of the other
Compartments in the car heard clild's

angry tones OF o mans voice, "You are
not Charlie; you are Tommie; and II
you make any more noise Ill throw you
out Of the window" ~ want TO 60 TO

the child was heard TO say. Then blows
were heard, and screams. and passen.
ger said, dIt Ia little Charlie Ross !"
and rush was made, The man was
dragged from his compartment, and the
ladies sprang forward and got their
arms about the child. They removed
the covering from his face and found
that instead Of Charlie Ross they had in
their embrace the wooden automaton
with which the yentriloquist Wyman Is
wont TO amuse the public. The prac-
tical Joker was Wyman himself, who
was on his way TO Lynehburg.

Right and Sperm Whales.

The sperm whale is IN habitue OF the
deep water, seldom found on sound
ings, and feeding on creatures Of great
size in the profoundest depths OF the
ocean. The right whale frequents the
bays and shoal waters OF the coasts. II
feeds on minute shrimps and mollusks
which float upon the surface OF the sea
or at moderate depths. In the sperm
whale tho male is much larger than the
female in the right whale the female
attains the greatest bulk. In the sperm
whale the upper jaw, case, and Junk
form the great portion OF the head, tho
under jaw being furnished with ivory
teeth. In the right whale the lower
Jaw, with Its great lips and tongue, is
greatly disproportioned to the slender
upper jaw, which is furnished with the
elastic slabs OF whalebone. In the
sperm whale the great respiratory canal
Is elongated, aud terminates in O single
spout-hole little to one side on the
extreme end Of the head. In the right
whale this canal branches into to two
channels, which terminate in two spout.
holes about eighteen feet back from the
nose.
The sperm whale Is dangerous as
either end, but the motions OF It's aukes
are limited as compared with the right
whale. Its blows are delivered verti.
cally, and when II strikes right or left
the blow is performed by q rolling Of
the body. To compensate for this
rigidity OF the Aukes, it is possessed OF
admirable skillin fencing with the jaw.
The most fatal accidents in boats arise
from this weapon. The motion Of the
jaw is quick, and its sweep tremendous.
In q large whale rolling, with the jaw
distended, the sweep may include q
circle OF forty feet, and woe be to the
boat whose bottom receives tho upward
cut, while certain death follows the re.
ception OF the downward blow Thus
it is possible for two boats placed forty
feet apart To be broken by the same
blow from the jaw Of a rolling sperm
whale. The right whale, on tho con.
trary, Is comparatively harmless with
the head but Is possessed OF great lat
eral reach with the aukes, sweeping, rs
whalemen express 1t, from eye to eye.
To Judge from external evidence, the
sperm whale is much the more COM
bative OF tho two. No large bull whale
OF this species Is taken whose great
square head is not SCARED and furrowed
with marks OF the teeth OF rival bulls,
aud often the shattered teeth and broken
or distorted Jaws attest the ferceness
OF their combats. The right whale,
however, is incapable OF more than Sc
verely padding It's enemy with its tail.
The sperm whale, OF the two, is moro
regular md much longer in Its periods
Of spouting and OF remaining under
water. II will spout sixty or seventy
times and remain under water IN hour
or more, even when not pursued. The
right whale spouts twelve or fifteen
times, perhaps, and then descends for
a short period. Both turn fukes, or
lift the tail perpondicularly in the air,
when they 60 down. The oil OF the
one is rich in spermaceti the other
furnishes tho lower priced train oil,

Scenes In tho Streets Of Santa Fc.

The streets Of Santa Fo present o
very striking appearance to tho eyes Of
any one who has not seen the like be-
fore those around tho Plaza arc gener-
ally filled with immense wagons drawn
by six, eight, and often ton yoke Of
hali.staryed oxen, tho only means Of
bringing the much.needed supplies
from tho end OF tho railroad. While
these great vans are being unloaded the
oxen often lie down in their yokes, and
their tired appearance, and the appeal
ing look OF their large eyes, would ex.
cilo the pity Of many men far less
friendly than Mr.. Bergh to the brute
creation. In oil tho streets can be seen
great numbers OF little animals called
BY the Mexicans "buros," but better
known to English speaking people as
donkeys. These small beasts are
packed with all sorts Of loads. Often
as many as fifty can be seen in q single
drove, with nearly rs many drivers,
coming into town loaded with wood.
The usual price per "cargo," as they
call II, is "dos reals" or twenty-five
cents. About sixteen such loads make
o cord. Again, o train OF "buros
will be seen loaded with all kinds Of
merchandise, frequently with barrel on
either side OF each beast. A pnck.sad-
die is used upon thom, but no other
equipment. They ore guided by blows
on alternate sides Of their heads and
necks, administered by their drivers
with club never less than two inches
in thickness. Not unfrequently two
mon arc seen mounted on ono Of these
little beasts Of burden, either Of whom
could pick him up and carry him away.
Tho "buro" is the best example OF
patience the writer has ever seen.
These animals live upon almost
nothing, q standing joke Of the country
being that n few sheets OF brown paper
constitute q grand feast Tor "burC."
They do a great deal Of work, and
render many services on the rough
mountain trails that could be obtained
from no other animals. The sidewalks
OF tho city are generally covered with
"portals" or porches, and the streets
are fringed during the day and half the
night with the picturesque people OF
the city; some waiting, Mioawber.like,
"for something 10 turn ups" others
slowly along, for but few Mexi-
cans think life long enough to make
any haste in getting through 1t.

Tho Omen Polar Sen.

DR.. Hays, in letter on the Austrian
Polar expedition, says: The highway
to tho Pole was, I believe, open to
Capt. Hall, and had he lived l believe
he would have reached it. 1 believe
the same thing could have been done
by my old commander, DR.. Kane, in
August, 1868, and by myself in 1860,
had either Of US been blessed with
steam /; and I believe, as 1 have repeat.
edly asserted publicly, that the Sound
can be nayigated with steam.power any
year and in proof Of this wo may cite
the fact that Capt. Hall experienced no
difficulty whatever in the Polaris, which,
as il Il were but n pleasure voyage,
steamed in six days from Upernayik to
tho highest point ever reached by any
vessel and evon tho land he sighted
beyond must, I think, have been some
thing further north than lat. $50, which
seems to have been the northern most
point-Cape Yienna-seen by the gal
lant officers Of the TegetthoG. For In
1861 I traced the outline Of the land,
which named Cape Union, on the
west side Gmperfectly traced, 1t is true,
owing TO the great difficulties OF the
situation), 10 lat. 500, 40 seconds, and
Capt. Hall must have seen land beyond
this. DR.. Hays adds: As for myself,
my going back TO the scene Of my old
contests has been, as those interested
in Arctic exploration well know, merely
n nneation of money. That forthconi-
ing, I shall lose no time in once more
leading an expedition into Smith

The Delaware Railroad, says Max
Adeler, runs right through Peabody's
farm, Just below our village, and close
TO the track there is q kind OF 0 mud
hole. Into this one Of Peabody's horses
fell, the other day, and deaed every
effort that could be made to get him
out. While Peabody was working at
the job, freight train ran in upon the
siding and stopped to shift some empty
cars. The engineer noticed Peabodys
trouble and finally offered to pull the
horse out with the locomotive II Pea
body would give him 1yo dollars. Pea
body gladly consented; and tho en-
gineer got down for the purpose OF ias.
teuing rope under the horses belly.
Just as he completed this Job, tho fire.
man, o greenhorn, got meddling with
the starting bar, and the engine sud-
denly gave o jerk aud began TO move OIL.
In less than minute that iron steod
was proceeding down the Delaware
peninsula at the rate OF q mile minute
with Peabody's horse behind, slashing
up against the fences, swishing through
ditcies, butting against the cross-ties
and dancing and frolicking and jump
ing about In the most extraordinary
manner. When the engine was stopped
twenty.three miles below, by leaping
the track, and rolling over into q gully,
there was nothing on the rope but four
ribs and piece Of the backbone, and
these Peabody concluded not to drive
home. The engineer says all he prom,
ised to do was 10 get the horse ont, and
he got IL out. But Peabody somehow
don't appear TO be satisfied.

How ,yhlskey Acts.

Nathaniel Van Lewen, who resides on
Green Island, aud who has hitherto
borne q good reputation, but who has
OF late become involved in domestic
difficulties, leading him TO drown his
SORROWS by indulgence in intoxica-
ting drinks, was arrested on complaint
OF 0yerseer Of the Poor Riley, at West
Troy, N. Y, for non.support Of his
family, was discharged the next day,
and again commenced drinking. He
was again arrested and sentenced by
Justice Remington TO Jail for ten days.
Nothing unusual was noticed until
Saturday night. About twelve o'clock
at night DIR. Cobb, the jail physician,
was summoned, and found the man
then laboring under strong mental ex.
element. The doctor administered
strong opiates to quiet him, and no
more trouble ensued until the next day
at one r. NJ, when DR.. Cobb was again
sent for in haste. The man was then
suffering from delirious conyulsions.
He was laboring under the delusion
that he had murdered o portion OF the
members OF his household, and was suf-
fering all the agonies Of remorse for
the fancied commission Of that crime.
He had attempted selt.destruction by
trying first to batter his brains out
against the walls Of the cell. Finding
the walls would not serve his purpose
he then got on his bunk aud sprang
from thence head foremost against the
door Of the cell, which ia composed Of
stout oakeu bars three inches square,
set vertically three inches apart. Al.
terward he grasped the bars OF the
door in his hands, and in that position
butted his head repeatedly with great
force against the door until the alarmed
keepers secured him. The wounds he
inflicted arc absolutely frightiul, one
wound nino and one.half inches in
length extending from the forehead
across the base OF the skull. Tho de-
tached scalp from this wound had fallen
over on his shoulder. Another wound
five and one.half inches in length com.
menced at the top Of the head and e9-
tended down over the right forehead,
thus making q V shaped wound, the
loosened gcalp from which hung down
over his right eye, presenting 0 fright
full appearance. One piece Of the scalp,
two and one.half inches square, at the
crown OF the head, was entirely crushed
of and was found in the cell. The cell
presented the appearance Of glaugh-
ter.house-the walls and door bespat-
tered with blood in every direction.
DIR. Cobb, assisted by DR.. Burlington,
dressed tho wounds in the best possible
manner. Aiterward DR.. Cobb pro-
cured IN order from Justice Remington
TO remove the wounded man TO 81. Pc
ter's Hospital at Albany, where he may
receive such careful nursing as his pro.
carious condition requires. Hc is not
expected TO recover. II Is said that he
has before attempted suicide.

Funny Scene In Church.

The Alexandria Gazette contains the
following:
An episode somewhat unusual Is re-
ported to have occurred OF the pro-
tracted meeting now in progress OF the
NJ. E. Church, South, in this city. The
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Waugh, who has been
most zealously engaged in the duties oi
his ministry, was fervently pressing
home the great truths OF the Gospel,
when an alarm Of fire was sounded
without. Many Of our most public
spirited citizens are members Of the
congregation, and the alarm drew nun.
bors from an endeayor to avoid s.eternal
flames to IN effort to extinguish tenn
poral fire. The hasty exits naturally
attracted much attention, and the pas.
tor seized the occasion to point o moral
by reference to the zeal with which men
leave the promises OF eternity at the
calls OF time, and how much more in
terest was felt in saving brick and NOR
tar than in saving immortal souls. At
this point, the alarm being false one,
many had returned, among them Mr..
Robert L. Wood, member Of the
church, who rose, and said in sub.
stance "Brother Waugh, you must
not speak so; I went out not to save
brick and mortar, but, it might be, to
rescue some poor family from destruc.
ton"
Rev. Mr.. Waugh said he did not in.
tend to give his remarks o personal up.

from heeting occurrence suitable

Locomotive Caprlces.

II is perfectly well known TO expe.
rienced engineers that II dozen differ.
ent locomotive engines were made at
the same time, OF the same power, for
the same purpose, OF like materials, In
tho same factory, each Of these loco
motive engines would come out with It's
own peculiar whims and ways, only as
certainable by experience. One engine
will take q great deal OF coal and water
OF once another will not hear TO such
q thing, but insists on being coaxed by
spadefuls and bucketfuls. One is dis.
posed TO start off when required at the
top Of speed another must have little
time to warm into II. These peculiari.
ties aro SO accurately mastered by skill
ful drivers that only particular men can
persuade engines to o'their best. II
would seem as II some Of these " excel
lent masters" declared, on being
brought from the stable, AT It's Smith
who Is to drive, I won't goj II it's my
friend Stokes, 1 am agreeable to do
anything" All locomotive engines are
low.spirited in damp, foggy weather.
They have great satisfaction in their
work when the air is crisp and frosty.
At such time they arc very cheerful and
brisk, but they strongly object TO haze
and mists. These are points OF eharac-
ter on which they are united. II Is In
their peculiarities and varieties OF char
acter that they arc the most remark

The Silent Monks.

Charles Warren stoddard, writing to
the San Francisco Chronicle, says -
Away upon the hill that overlooks Ma.
pies, and Just under the grand castle
Of ST, Elmo, stands the Carthusian
monastery OF San Martino. The monks
who once inhabited the glorious palace
for il is nothing less-were men Of
noble birth and vast fortune. Founded
in 1920 by Duke Charles OF Calabria, 1t
was enriched by the wealth Of the
monks, and the church is now one OF
the most magnificent in Italy, Agate,
jasper, lupis.lazuli, amethyst, Egyptian
granite, and fossil wood, together with
marbles Of every tint, arc SO blended in
mosaics that line the whole edi6ce, and
the carvings are so rich and graceful,
that the interiors Of some OF the chapels
seem like Eden bowers traushxed by o
miracle and frozen into stone. The
decorations OF the high altar, since dc.
spoiled by tho French, were OF gold,
silver and bronze, and even diamonds
were set in its exquisite ornamentation.
There aro cloisters Of white marble,
gardens, courts aud balconies over.
hanging the city, from which the view
is indescribably magnificent. And in
this lovely spot lived brotherhood
who came from the first circles Of
society, and buried themselves in this
gorgeous tomb, for II was little else.
The monks took vow Of perpetual
silence, lived apart, ate apart, and met
only for the unsocial hours OF prayer,
when each was wrapped in his own
meditation and no one uttered o
syllable. Each Of tho little cells where
they slept had small window or
closet communicating with one OF tho
corridors, and into this closet was
placed tho frugal meal, which was
then taken into tho cell and eaten
in solitude. Every quarter OF M hour
o bell struck to remind tho listeners
that they were 80 much nearer their
death. In the garden the ratings are
ornamented with marble skulls, aud
the only sounds that used to disturb
this splendid solitude was tho tread Of
sandaied feet, the rustic Of long white
robes, or the clang OF the bell that told
OF their solemn lives in brief moments,
that yet might have seemed long to
them. THESE monks, like most others
in Italy, have been driven from their
retreat, and all their treasures conts.

Capture of a Slave Dhow.

Her Majesty's ship vnltnre, says the
London Times, Commander A. 7.
Brooke, was cruising of the northwest
coast OF Madagascar when o sail to the
southeast was reported by the mast
head.man. Chase was given, and near.
" ave hours afterward the dhow was
come up with and boarded. II was full
OF slaves, forty.one men, flfty.nino wo-
men, and one hundred and thirty.seyen
children. The slaves were suffering
acutely from weakness and cranp, hay.
ing had to remain in one position for o
long time. Several Of the children
were unable TO straighten their legs for
three or four days after they were re-
ceiyed on board. One woman was
found buried up 10 her neck in damp
sand at tie bottom OF the slave dhow,
under the lower slave deck. The own.
ers Of the human cargo were thirty.tlve
armed Arabs, and tho captain deter.
mined TO take them TO Zanzibar and
have them summarily dealt with. The
Vulture sailed for the Seychelles after
burning the dhow and picking up four
boats that had been sent away cruising
q few days previously. The passage
was made in ten days, and during that
time seventeen liberated slaves died Of
dysentery and extreme debility. This
Is the largest capture which has been
made for o very long time.
