4 Terrible Machine.

Mr. Lays torpedo, which it is expected
will be bought by Congress, is Il most re-
markable instrument of war. One of them
has been completed at Newport, and the
results achieved with it are marvellous in
the extreme. The machine is propelled
bv carbolic acid gas generated on the
boat, and can be sent in any direction un-
der water for distance of two or three
miles. \. man on the ship, or on the
shore, guides it by means ola magnetic
wire, by which he can explode it at any
moment. 1t may naturally be asked, How
is he to know where the machine is when
it is submerged. and how is he to know ii

the boat, as in the case of harbor torpedoes
is Il small stick, but, unlike the others, il
erects itself above the surface. BY this
the director can tell the precise location OF
the boat, and when it touches the ship
bang. and away she goes. But this brings
another question: Suppose those aboard
the vessel should observe the stick and
know what it is and attempt to destroy
a boat, getting behind the torpedo, anC
cutting the wires? Simply this: Attach
ed to the stern of the torpedo is smaller
one. and when the boat draws near, the
torpedo is moved in position, and the
smaller one is discharged at the boat
smashing it to pieces and killing those il
it. This is the Lay torpedo, destructive
horrible engine, against which there is ne
escape.
The Ericsson torpedo has just been com
pleted on Long Island, where its invento

SILENT PEOPLE.-We all reckon among
our friends or acquaintance some silent
man or woman whose influence is felt,
whose rarely expressed opinion carries
weight, few indeed, but well chosen, spo-
ken in clear harmonious tones. 60 TO the
point and decide it. We have all met with
quiet, well-read. and well-bred women,
whose society we have sought and found
an ever-increasing thirst for-women
whose minds unfolded, leaf by leaf, rare
beauties, which made one feel better for
every hour spent with them. To know
such women is to study them, to study
them is to love them, to hunger for their
society, to prize their presence, to regret
their absence, and to mourn them forever
when they have passed into the '' silent
land To such women the world owes
much. far more than those who speak?
they are the women who make home happy
and life beautiful; to whom the cross word.
the impatient tone are strangers, whose
children are surprised at a harsh tone, and
who never fear the blow they have no
knowledge of; these are they who, saying
nothing of women's rights, think the more
of women's duties, the chief of which is a
woman's highest privilege. making home
happy.

standing in his eyes, :" in one short month,

of talent, of piety, and nobleness of heart.
Such pious and prayerful men, such noble

initiate. I refer to his example, not only
as worthy of imitation by military men,
but by all in every condition of life, and
especially by the young men of the present
age, upon whom so many and so great re-
sponsibilities are resting and pressing.

the culture of '.jute,'' which can be pre-
pared for market by machine invented
bv Thomas II. Dunham of Boston. Gun
nv bags, burlap. wheat sacks and MANILA
paper are made of this wonderful fibre,
which is being grown in Louisiana with
great success and of a better quality than
that grown in the East Indies. An associa-
ton in New Orleans has been successful,
and the domesticated seed has proved more
vigorous than that received from Calcutta.
Commissioner Watts. of the department
of agriculture, has had a pamphlet pre-
pared on the culture of ramie and jute.
and he is of the impression that the culti-
walton of these plants will soon become
valuable industry.

0UTwITTED.
BY RACHEL POMEROY.

The Muhlheim monks were jolly and fat
Trust their larder and pouch for that;
In many league you ght not see
SO opulent monastery.
Their board was sumptuous every day.
The king IN his palace Jared palmer than they
And as Tor their cellar, so luscious hoard
Deep in its fragrant vault was stored,
Some brother at prayer, smacking lips wlne-we
HalEa-doze-would likcr than not forget
TO count his rosary bead by bead,
MumblIng the date of a vintage instead.
The monks were Willy and hated work,
Drones, agreeing to gorge and shirk
Next to their bodies they loved their store,
Studying alway to make 1t more;
And ever with all their getting there grew
The fatal lust of adding thereto;
Greedy and sly; on every side
stretched the convent-acres wide;
Yet were not the sluggards satisfied.
Still they ogled, with coverings great,
Piece of Count Ruperts brave estates-
One hundred acres-a geodly slice,
That nigh lily tickled their avarice.
They;raked the records o'er and Ger
Never had monk so delvcd before
Out OF their parchments thinking to claim
Fraudulent power to clutch the same.
The judges perceived where justice lay.
Yet loath to cross the church were they,
Those being the old fashioned times, you see,
When facts and piety didn't agree;
And Rupert was looking with some dismay
To find his inhe itance wrenched away:
When 10 on cunning device he hit
And my gentlemen-monks at the bait hook Bit
" Give me leave to SOW one crop alone,
And harvest the crop when fully grown;
Thereafter, for that ye crave it sore,
I'll give you the land forever more"
Verify, here was piece of luck
The brethren chucked the bargain was struck
And the surer to clench it in every way,
They drew up Il contract that very day,
Which, nice in phrase aud legal in plan,
Was signed by monks aud by nobleman.
Count Rupert has sOwed; they watch to know
What choice of grain the crop may show.
VIII he wheat, or barley or oat devise
To deck his laGl lor the sacrifice?
The ground is sproutng with tender green
sure never before such grain was seenl
IT'S the seed of oaks, he has planted it thick,
None but the sower OF acorns may pick
Thescontract hath writ,it, twas worded plain
silly grey cowls, do you dare complain?
Our foxy monks their match had met;
Caught for the nonce in the trap they set,
trow they never cared again
To play the trick they attempted then,
Nor won the prize they coveted;
For, certes, every soul was dead
And Rupert himself in the tomb laid down
Ere his trees to the cloister-roof were. grown,
And before the oak forest fell to decay,
The cloister walls had crumbled away.

LEGAL QUIBBLE.-A good story is told
of Hon. E. f. Pillsbury of Augusta, Me-.
who defended Miss Mink in the recent
murder trial Mr.. Pillsbury applied for a
continuance of the case, which the Judge
was not inclined to grant. Well. your
honor said the counsel, l can refer the
court to provision which will sustain my
notion The court opened its eyes in as
tonishment, but changed the expression
thereof when attention was called to the
revised statnes, to wit: No person shall
in any way y-destroy, between the first day
of June and the fifteenth day of October
of each year, any mink, beaver, otter, sable
fisher or muskrat, under penalty often dol
lars. The court saw the point.

They have good fishing in Waterford Har-
Dor (Irelard) lately. The locality was vis-
tied recently by immense quantities of fish.
The shoal Of herrings was such as to battle
description. The fish were actually wedg-
ed together into one compact mass, and the
men could not let out more than half their
nets, lest the immense weight of fish would
break them. The farmers from the sur
rounding country came with their carts to
reap this bountiful harvest. Buyers came
over from England and bought as many
fish as they could manage to barrel and
cure. The shoal of herrings was followed
by large number of turbot, hake and
dogfish,

Song of the Deeanter.

Concerning Noses.

There are but three national noses
among civilized people, the Jewish,
the Grecian, and the Roman. Each
is Of a description totally different
from the other two, and all three have
a distinct character of their own.
The. Jewish is the only national nose
now remaining: The Greek and the
Roman are occasionlly reproduced
among modern nations, but as
national characteristics exist no Tong
err. The ancient Jews attached no
slight importance to this feature.
The Greek nose has come down to us
in the Greek sculptures, and certain
ly accords better with our Northern
ideas Of personal beauty than any
other. Seen in prOfiles the outline Is
almost a continuation without curve
or deviation of the outline of the
forehead, and would seem, -phren-
ol0gically considered, quite i'm harm-
ony with the unpar,tlleleds progress
of the Greeks in art, SCIENCE and
philosophy. Among us moderns the
perfect Greek nose IS extremely rare,
saye on the canvas of our painters.
The Roman nose Is the very incarna-
tiOn of the idea of cOmbativeness,
and suggests the notion that Il was
borrowed from bird Of prey. =.

Chinese, sapersiItions.g !

Tho Chinese idea of heaven is a
singular mixture of spiritualism and
materialism. They seem to believe
that the unseen world Is, In a certain
way, n counterpart OF things visable,
and that the. spirits of the departed
stand i'm need of the same support as
they did when living-food, clothes,
and houses reduced, however, to a
state suitable for the invisible, which
they seem to imagine Is TO be attained
by the process of burningl They
have q curious way of carrying their
supperstitiOns into effect. Having to
provide, not on the day of the funeral
alone, but In perpetuelty, for the COM
forts of the departed, they take care
that clothing, furniture, and money
shall cost them as little as possible.
They manufacture limitations of these
necessaries I'm paper, the paper money
being cOver0I with tin or gilt foil !;
and ON some occasions paper house,
ready furnished, is burned and pass.
ed entire into the unseen world. The
food Of the spirits Is managed more
simply still. The feast, is spread hot
and stcaming and the steam and
fumes arise from the repast appear to
form the nutriment OF The spirits; for
the substantial food Is afterward con-
sumed by relatives. From this feel
ing with regard to ancestral worship
results the strong desire OF every
Chinaman to have asson instead OF q
daughter for should the male line
of his fhmily fail, the ancestral feasts
cannot be properly performed, and
then not only his own spirit will be
starved, but all ancestors win be re-
duced TO astate OF beRgsry. -,

satisfactory, and reflects great. credit
