said transient guest at a crossroads
tavern, Us he drew near the end of his
dinner, "won't you give me little
more pork to eat with this potato?' \
little later be said:
"There was more pork then 1 want

more potato to eat with the pork" and
shortly afterward:
Well, ] declare, GIVE got some
more potato left, and it seems q pity to
leave-just u small piece more of pork,
if you please.
1t ran on for some time. At length
the landlord stopped short in front of
his guest and remarked: q" Look here,
stranger, faint no use. I'm willing
to make that pork and potato come out
even, but I've made up my mind, the
way you cat, it cant be did. You're
bound to lap over on one or the other
every time. Now jest make up your
mind which you'd rather leave, and
leave it and quit. I've got enough pork
and potatoes, but, if you keep on,
you'll bust"

LENGTH OF WHALEs.-Mr. Scoresby,
very high authority ON this subject,
declares the common whale seldom ex-
ceeds seventy feet in length, and is
much more frequently under sixty. Out
of 1922 whales which he assisted person
ally in capturing, not one exceeding
tifty-eight feet, and the largest OF
which he knew the reported measure
ment to be authentic came up to sixty.
seven feet. Two specimens of the ror-
quail or razor-back whale have been OBJ
served of 105 feel in length. One of
these was found floating lifeless in Dav-
is Straits and the skeleton of the other
was seen in the Columbia river and
must, tail and all when alive, have
measured 1l2 feet. Other specimens
have measured q hundred and many
others from eighty to ninety feet. One
cast on shore at North Berwick, Scot
land, and preserved by DR.. Knox, was
eighth-three feet in length. These in
stances seem to establish the average
and extreme length of these huge an
imals. But, with considerable credulity
an earlier account of Cuvier, the eminent
naturalist, says, stoutly: There is no
doubt that whales have been at certain
epochs and in certain seas upward of
800 feet long, or 100 hundred yards in
length"

~A small motor for sewing mach
ines has been invented by a Dresden
mecbanician. 1t is described in the
English Mechdnic-though in rather an
obscure manner-as o steam engine
which has neither cylinder, piston,
bars, crank, nor valves, but only boil
CT, which is at the same time the mov-
ing part. The machine works always
with the same quantity Of water. Z The
steam passes through cycle somewhat
like what is seen in nature; the sun
evaporates water on the earth surface
in the upper strata this again becomes
liquid, and returning to the earth does
large amount of mechanical work.
The machine is only OIL horse power,
needs little attention, and is quite safe,
the tension of the steam being low. If
heated by gas, it consumes 2.5 cubic
meters per hour. The cylinder-shaped
boiler is expanded conically at the up
per part. It stands at an angle of for
ty-6ve degrees, and turns on supports,
while beveled-wheel arbor changes
the motion into a horizontal or YER
tical,

Representatives, where special partof

this separation from the people means
anything, it is an attempt to draw a
line of distinction, to set up superior

stituency. This is the sort of repubi-
canism which the so-called Republican
party practices at Washington, and it is

OCEAN ISLAND. - Capt. Bauldry. Of
the whaleship Arnotda, informs US that
in passing Ocean Island last December.
he noticed fires burning as if for Ggnals.
Soon several canoes came of, and the
natives represented that they were all
in starving condition, there having
been no rain there for eight or nine
years. Captain B. took one of his
boats crew, and went ashore, where he
found that the case had not been exag-
gerated, and that nearly all the island
ers, of whom there were about three
hundred, were suffering from the FAM
inc. The only food which they could
obtain was the tops of the cocoanut
trees, which were soft and edible. The
water supply was exhausted, and they
were relying on brackish water, which
caused debility and sickness. They
begged to be taken off to any place,
where they could find something to eat.
Capt. B. took twenty-four of the poor
emaciated creatures on his ship, and
landed them on Strong's Island, some
five days sail. Capt. Hayes also took
off few and landed them on Pleasant
Island nearer by. Ocean Island is
about fifty miles south of the Equator,
and in East longitude 170'. While at
Strongs Island, Capt Bauldry requested
the missionaries to send q message for
relief to Oahu, but there has been no
vessel from thence since his visit there
last winter. These Islanders would all
have gladly come here, and would no
doubt have been welcomed by our peo-
ple.-HaWdii0n Gazette.

LIVELY CHEESE.

1t is astonishing how effectually an
exasperated German mixes the Kings
English. A case in point. George NJ. 4,
an irritable Teuton, is the proprietor of
beer hall, and his favorite expression
is tam lively" Not long since, NJ. 's
wife, burly lnatron, who assists in the
management of the aforesaid beer hall,
and is equally irritable, directed her
liege lord to buy some good cheese for
saloon consumption. Proceeding to
Stewards grocery, George hailed the
proprietor thereof with:
Shin, you got some tam lively
sheese what is better ?"
Yes, we have some lively cheese.
How much will you have p
Well, suppose I dake cooble
bounds"
Having paid for the cheese, George
carried it home and gave it to his wife.
In attempting to dispense some of it to
hungry customer, she discovered that
it contained squatters without number,
and having a horror of shippers, she
yelled:
OVOSS! OCu uiAIIc lclUcI OOCL, DOOSS
Shorge, if you buy boogs, why don t
you bought 'em by the kwart. You
must dake them sheeses right pack
again, or I knock you some tivel out"
Selling the offending shippers and
their habitation, George made break
for Stewards in no enviable frame OF
mind. Notwithstanding the cheese
monger was engaged with lady GUS
toner, George saluted him with:
Shin, you tam rascal, COON here
right away, kwick."

till I get through"
"Oxkuse me, I thought you didn't
knew who I vas."
Having satisfied the wants of his lady
patron, Stewart turned to his cousin
German, and inquired affectionately
after his health.
"Shim. dots kweer kwestion to ask
after solding me such lot of boogs!
But, Shin, I don't make fun NIT you at
all. Iyust like to know what der hell

Jim didn't explain, but George got
some cheese that wasn't quite so "tam
