John Bright ON the Temperance CUES
ton.

John Bright took part in the discus
sion of the temperance question at the
annual meeting of the Society of
Friends in London, recently, and ex-
pressed views entirely antagonistic to
those usually expressed by his hearers.
He found that they were always crying
to Parliament for the cure of this great
evil, and the propositions before them
showed that they adhered to that
course. They asked for things to be
done which, in the present state of pub
lie opinion, were impossible. The ask
ing of these things in itself revealed
an amount of simplicity which he
could not understand. It is for Parlia-
ment to make such changes as are
necessary for the public good and for
the proper administration of police
regulations. But if the public houses
were closed on Sundays, if the hours of
sale were shortened, if the licenses
were taken from the grocers, the amount
of drinking is SO appalling that it would
still be lessened but to a small degree.

ready mentioned to devour it's own ex-
crement; and, secondly, even during
the remissions, it's excitement is at once
renewed by the sight or sound Of an
other dog.
It may be we'll to note that the dis
ease occurs at all seasons, that the
mad dog continues to recognize it's
master and manifest pleasure when
kindly spoken to, that it does not shun
water, and that in many cases from the
first to the last that wild fury which is
commonly supposed to belong to the
disease is conspicuously absent.
The most effectual means for check
lug the spread ofhydrophobia are-frst,
to circulate information on the subject !;
secondly, to enforce neutrality-suspicious.
as to licenses and as to the destruction
of ownerless dogs. It is to be regret
ed that the wise proposal of Mr.. Elem
ing, that short description of the de-
ease, should be printed on the back of
each license, has not been adopted.
The disease originates, whether in man
or beast, exclusively by contagion.
The carriers of contagion arethe owner

A Cat YanGuished by Robins.

A robin had built a nest under the
north stoop of the court house at Gen
eseo, n. Y, and a few days ago her
brood of young robbins made their first
attempt to fly. AS one poor, half
hedged bird was laboriously flying near
the ground, tigerish-looking cat spied
and gave it chase. The bird flew as
best it could, but the cats swift,
stealthy steps gained upon it, and the
fate Of the bird seemed seated. But its
terrified cries brought relief, and just
as the cat bounced upon and seized it
in her mouth, half dozen old robins
lit on her back with such fury that,
dropping her prey, she incontinently
turned tail and flew across the yard, the
relentless robins pursuing her and fill
ing the air with their cries. Not till
the cat took refuge in an adjoining
building did the robins give up the
chase and return to the young bird.
The latter was unhurt, and the noise
Of the contest having drawn to the spot
twenty-five or thirty other robins. it
completed it's days practice under am
pie protection, and amid gathering OF
bird tongues seldom heard in northern
climes.

! Remarkable " magnetic Chamber -
in a California Cave.

The author of "Sinbad the Sailors
Adventures must resign his laurels.
One w. III. Stokes has been exploring
recently discovered cave near Pine
Grove, Amador County, Cal, andwrites
to the Suffer Creek Independent an ac-
count of his Investigations Mr.. Stokes
vouches for the exact truth of his mar
rative in every particular, and we
doubt not the reader will readily credit
it from the following specimen descrip-
ton Of one of the chambers the party
entered After journeying for mile
and quarter through the under
ground passages, Stokes and his party
found themselves in long but rather
narrow chamber, the walls of which are
not limestone, but yellowish and
brown iron ore." This chamber beats
Sinbad's magnetic mountain, which
drew all the nails from his ship, and
thus caused it to fall all to pieces, all
hollow. Listen to Mr.. Stokes cup
on entering the chamber we noticed a
most peculiar disturbance of the mag
net, the needle constantly vibrating
from sideto side, and frequently whirl-
ing around for a minute at time with
a velocity which rendered it invisible
We also experienced singular sensa-
ton, sort of chill appearing to COM
mence at the back of the neck and ex-
tending to the ends Of our fingers and
toes. AS we advanced in this chamber
we found these singular sensations to
increase liz intensity until It became
almost unbearable. We ventured on
still further, however, though it became
evident that we could not long remain
In this mysterious place. [ omitted to
mention that the walls and floor of this
cham Der, especially particular rocks
therein contained, were highly mag
netlc, and became more SO the further
we advanced toward the north. One of
the party who carried a Ratchet had it
wrested from him by magnetic rock
near which he passed, and the combin-
ed strength Of four of us was INSULT
clent to detach it. A pocket-knife,
which accidentally dropped to the floor,
had to remain there, none of the party
having sufficient strength in his fingers
to pick it up. Mason, who had put on
for the occasion pair of miners boots,
the soles of which were filed with nails,
could walk with difficulty, and, hap
pening to step upon a portion of the
floor unusually magnetic, found him
self suddenly affixed thereto and unable
to move. He was compelled to with
draw his feet from his boots and leave
them there, tearing up his coat and
wrapping the pieces round his feet to
protect them from being cut by the
rocks. We had remained in this cham
Der about ten minutes, when suddenly
the chilling sensation beganto increase,
the feeling being as if a cold and
piercing wind was blowing upon us,
and becoming each moment more in
tensely cold. We hastily retreated, and
soon reached, feeling more dead than
alive, the large chamber containing the
hot spring. We then retrsced our
steps along the Irvine, and in a couple
of hours emerged from the cave"

Disraeli and His Constituents.

How gracious an English premier
may be under circumstances of an ex-
traordinarily trying character was re-
Gently shown by the Right Hon. B.
Disraeli. For twenty-seven years he
has represented Buckinghamshire, and
at the late election secured a return at
the cost of considerably over a thousand
pounds. This sum the electors have
made up, and have requested permission
to present it to the premier. He does
not seek to avoid his responsibility as
some less generous politician might,
butmanfully declines to be SO presump-
tuous as to decline, saying, "the conf
dence of such q county is a sufficient
reward for my life, and, after seven and
twenty years as it's representative, [
feel much it's debtor. This conviction,
and some other more ordinary feelings,
might have made me hesitate before I
accepted the muniticent testimony Of
it's regard which you announce to me );
but when observe how spontaneously
and how universally it has arisen, [ can
only look upon it as the act of gener-
Gus and high-spirited constituency,
which, though [ may not merit it, it
would be presumption to decline. Be-
lieve me, gentlemen, with many thanks
for your great courtesy in this commu-
nication, your faithful and obliged SER

A Head Worth Having.

While the steamer Capitol City was
lying at tho elevator, in Vicksburg,
preparing to leave for st. Louis, cabin
boy who had been discharged by the
steward for drunkenness, went aboard
and commenced talking very roughly
TO the steward. Not caring to be in
weighed into difficulty, the steward
sought to avoid the cabin boy, who was
negro, and finally went up stairs to
get out Of his way.
The negro, however, followed him
into the cabin, still abusing, and finally
striking him. By this timethe steward
had reached the stove, and picking up
the iron poker, he dealt his black as
sailant severe blow across the fore
head, then another and another until
he had well nigh beaten his brains out,
apparently, and bent the iron poker al
most double.
The Negroes head, however, proved
to be harder than the iron poker. and
upon examination no serious hurt was
found, nothing in fact beyond slight
confusion, a disfguring Of the eye and
slight elongation of the nose. The
boat left soon after the ARRAY, and the
steward escaped arrest. The wounded
man was sent to the City Hospital.

Memoranda for the Marines.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin Of
fers the following excellent suggestions
for young men about going to sea
The ship Will teach you "a. lesson Of
politeness-you will notice~she never
enters a foreign or home port except
with bows first.
Don't inquire the whereabouts of the
horses for the captains gig, lest you be
met with rowers of laughter.
The ships cook is the modern galley
slave.
No matter how fine the ship may be
called by others, the captain will decide
the ships course
Do not expect anything extraordinary
in the hatch-way because all the sails
have been set.
Do not consider the captain man of
contracted views because you find the
chief compass of his observations to be
inside a small box.
A good ship, like good wine, should
be kept we'll caulked. When this is
neglected both ship and wine are likely
to suffer.
Sailors are not very observing men
although they are continually going to
sea.
Do not confounda see-saw with rev.
enue cutter.
If the captain ask you for blight of
rope, it may offend him if you should
offer him a quid Of tobacco instead.
He would not consider it a quidrro quo.
Although you can distinctly see the
hands of both the larboard and star
board watches, yet they do not point
the time as well as the captains chro-
nometer.
If any of the old sailors insist on
your finding them a state-room, tell
them the room for sailors is a-loft.

An American Idea introduced in Eng
land.

An ingenious device for turning an
honest penny is reported by the Edin-
burgh Courant, by which buyers and
sellers are equally benefited The
buyers get for sixpence twenty-four
sheets Of letter paper, on the outside
sheet of which is an embossed penny
stamp. The seller is benefited in this
way he fills the two inside pages with
sixty advertisements, for which he
charges one guinea each, leaving the
first page for private correspondence,
and the last page, to which the stamp
is affixed, for the address. AS the
stamp will carry an ounce weight,
another sheet of plain paper may be en-
closed together with the sheet which is
stamped. The originator Of this plan
guarantees to the advertiser circula-
ton of 5000 copies, SO that it is easy to
see how the scheme will pay. For the
advertisements he receives 963, from
which he pays 5.00Osstamps at Id. each
600 los. 8d.-less received for copies
sold (twenty-four for CD, e5 Is. I'd. total
ELS Is. 3D.; leaving the difference, EAT
Is. 3D., to cover the cost Of paper and
printing sheet of advertisements 5, 600
times. The inventor has, it is said,
taken out copyright, which entities
him to years monopoly.

A German Eeauty.

A correspondent of the Toledo Blade
writes this from Berlin The Count
ess Seidlewits is celebrated court
beauty, and is a lady of honor to the
Princess Carl, a sister of the Empress
She sat just next to me, as only the
partition of the box was between us, and
she was the most beautiful woman saw
perfectly imperial, in fact-white and
magnificent as a lily. Her features were
perfectly regular, such dazzling little
teeth. Then her arms, neck and shape
were exquisite. She wore the severest
kind Of dress, and one that only such
beauty could have worn. It was a
white silk, with an unusual train, of
course, and without overskirt, simply
caught up in great puff behind. The
waist was made with small BASQUE.
but very low, and with very short
sleeves. Round the neck was white
bugle fringe, and then there were two
or three rows IF this fringe in front,
graduating to the waist, smaller and
smaller, and going round the basque.
ALI the front part of the skirt was laid
in folds of satin, in groups of three, and
on the edge of every third row was the
fringe again, graduating wider and
wider toward the bottom. In her hair
she wore wreath of white verbenas,
OF snow-balls and green leaves. Her
sole ornament was a magnificent dia-
mond lOcket and earrings of some Gu
rous design the locket depended from
very fine gold chain, which challenged
all observers to notice the faultlessness
OF her neck. One sly bit of coquetry
was visible in two natural flowers, ILL
lies of the valley, with their leaves,
which she had stuck in her corsage so
that they should rest against her neck
and show that they were not winter than
her skin. You see there were no folds
anywhere; the whole dress hung in
long lines and showed the contour of
the figure; nothing but these fringes
which cleaned and waved with every
motion to relieve it !; not even a bit of
black velvet anywhere, for the lace
round the neck was drawn through with
a white silk thread. There was an
other lady III thesame box, whose dress
was very beautiful, too, though she
herself was not. It was green silk with
green tulle overdress pulled, and with
ears OF silver wheat scattered over it.
The tunicwas of silvercr Grape, the bottom
cut in scallops and trimmed with silver
wheat. A wisp of wheat was knotted
around her neck for necklace, and q
perfect sheaf in her hair. It was an ex-
ouisite dress.
