Dangers of the Deep.

There is considerable attention at
tracted in marine interests and among
ship-cwners in New York by the recent
remarkable discovery by Capt. Picasso,
of the bark Teresa, of a dangerous rock
in the Atlantic ocean. The mystery of
the President, City of Boston, Pacific,
United Kingdom, and many other noble
vessels which have been lost without
leaving behind them the slightest trace
of their fate, has at length received solu-
ton in the report of Capt. Picasso. The
rock is located in latitude 40 north, and
longitude 62 west Though Capt.
Picasso disclaimed being the first dis
coverer of the rock, as he mentions its
being marked on an old chart, long ig
norance of its existence among nautical
men, and the constant danger to which
they have unwittingly been subject, viii
cause him to receive all the credit of
discovery. The knowledge of such a
dangerous reef, situated in such posi-
ton, is OF the greatest importance
to the commerce of the whole
world. It might be argued
that the seeming rock was an over
turned vessel; but the length of the
obstruction-some 800 feet-precludes
the possibility of its being the wreck of
a ship. None but iron vessels are this
length, and one of these would GER
tainly not float. Sea-weed proves the
rock, as this excrescence weuld not at
tach itself rapidly to anything else, and
is of very slow growth. The evident
truthfulness of the Captain is apparent,
through his naming the chart which
marks the rock upon it, thereby taking
any credit of discovery away from him
self. His reliability is further illustrated
by the fact that the rock can be found
on none of the more recent charts. The
serious difference of two degrees of
longitude between the location of the
spot on Noury's chart and the actual
location by Capt. Picasso is one which
every sea captain should become ac-
quainted with. The rock lies, accord
ing to Capt. Picasso, within few sec
onds of the same degree as New York
is situated in, and on a straight line
from west to east. The rock must lie
about $50 miles from New York harbor,
and is directly in the course of ocean
steamers, in what is known as the
southern passage. It is fully 500 miles
north of the Bermuda islands.

Remarkahle Masonic Funeral.

The first Masonic funeral that ever
occurred in California, took place IN
1849, and was performed over a brother
found drowned in the bay at San Fran
cisco. An account of the ceremonies
states that on the body OF the deceased
was found q silver mark Of q Mason,
upon which were engraved initials of
his name. A little further i, .estiga
ton revealed to the beholder the most
singular exhibition of Masonic emblenls
that was ever drawn by the ingenuity OF
man upon the human skin. There is
nothing in the history or traditions of
Freemasonry equal to IL. Beautifully
dotted on his left arm, in red and bl1ei
ink, which time could not etface, ap~-
peared ell the emblems of the entire
apprenticeship. There was the Holy
Bible, square and compass, the twenty
four-inch gauge and common gavel.
There were also the Masonic pavement,
representing the ground floor of King
Solomon's temple, the indented tessel
which surrounds it, and the blazing
star in the center. On his right arm,
and artistically executed in the samo
inde1ible liquid, were the enblems per-
tanning to the F'elloweraft's degree, viz
The square, the level and the plumb.
There were also the five columns repre-
senting the five orders of architecture
bno TUSCAN, LOTTO, Ionic. OOFlHJl1aL
and Composite. In removing his gar.
ments from his body, the trowel pre-
sented itself with all the other tools of
operative masonry. Over his heart was
the pot of incense. On other parts Of
his body were the beehive, the book OF
constitutions, guarded by the tyler's'
sword, pointing to naked heart the
All-seeiDg Eye, the anchor and ark, the,
hour glass, the scythe, the forty seventh
problem of Euclid, the sun, moon, stars
and comets; the three STEPS which are
emblematical of youth, manhood and
age. Admirably executed was the
weeping virgin, reclining upon bro
ken column, upon which lay the book of
constitutions. In her right hand she,
held the pot of incense, the Masonic
emblem of pure heart, and in her left
hand sprig of acacia, the emblem OF
the Immortality of the soul. Immedi-
ately beneath her stood winged Time,
with his scythe by his side, which cuts
the brittle thread of life, and the hour
glass at his feet, which IS ever remind
ing us that life is whitening away The
withered and attenuated fingers of the
destroyer were placed amid the long
and flowing ringlets of the disconsolate
mourner. Thus were striking emblems
of mortality and immortality blended
in one pictorial representation. It was
a spectacle such as Masons never saw
before, in all probability such as tho
fraternity will never witness again. The
brothers name was never Known

More certain than Philosophical

One of the students at Davidson Col

right. was in the habit of cleaning out
his lamp chimney by running his finger
down it as far as he could and twisting
il around. After he had cleaned it out
in this partial manner, one day not long
ago, fellow student took it up and
carried it to the residence of one of the
professors, with the inquiry, Why Is j.
It that this chimney is Smoked up to
this point and no further ?'' The learned
gentleman entered into an elaboraAso
scientific explanation of why it was,
various authorities to show the correct
ness of his reasoning. When he had
finished, the student said to him, IS No.

Bird Ghosts.

Birds have great fear of death. In
illustration of this, Madame Buist, in
her new book on birds, relates the fol-
lowing A hen canary belonging to
the author died while nesting, and was
buried. The surviving mate was re-
moved to another cage; the breeding
cage itself was thoroughly purified,
cleansed, and put aside till the follow
ing spring. Never afterward, however,
could any bird endure to be in that
cage. The little creatures fought and
struggled to get out, and. if obliged to
remain, they huddled close together
and moped and were thoroughly un-
happy, refusing to be comforted by any
amount of sunshine or dainty food. The
experiment was tried of introducing for
eign birds, who were not even in the
house when the canary died, nor could,
by any possibility, have heard of her
through other canaries. The result
was the same; no bird would live in
that cage. The cage was haunted, and
the author was obliged to desist from
all further attempts to coax or force a
bird to stay in it.-HO1,se Journal.

Run Over in Paris.

Lucy Hooper writes from Paris to the
Philadelphia Press : 81 have spoken
before of the odd law which they have
here, by which a person, on being run
over while crossing the street, is OBJ
liged, if not killed, to pay fine for OBJ
structing the public highway; and q
very peculiar and oppressive instance of
it's enforcement came to my knowledge
the other day. A little child, the off,
spring of a poor couple residing in one
of the minor streets running out of the
avenue Josephine, while playing in the
middle of the street, was Knocked down
and run over by passing carriage, and
instantly killed. The bereaved parents,
in addition to their sorrow for the loss
of their child, were condemned to pay a
fine of 100 francs for not having kept
the child out of the street. It is q mar
vel to me that somebody is not run over
and killed every hour in the day III
Paris, SO numerous are the vehicles, so
reckless are the drivers, and SO furious
the pace at which the horses are driven.
There is no law against fast driving
here, and pedestrians have no rights
which charioteers are bound to respect.
Down they will charge point blank al
the promenader who may be crossing
the street, shrieking sGarel' or Hay |!
but never turning handsbreadth either
to the right or to the left to avoid going
straight over him. The omnibus
drivers are as bad as the rest, and mo-
long ago a lady was run over by
crowded omnibus on the Rue de Fau
bourg Ste. Honore, and SO badl,
crushed that she died in lew hours.
presume her heirs had to pay fine t.
the city for the crime of causing the de
tention of a public vehicle, as well al
the obstruction of the highway"
