The following curious instance of hereditary
Office holding is related One Of the first APP

named Fox to the consulate. at Falmouth.
He died, and his son succeeded to the place.
The son also died and the the grandson was
made his successor. During President Lin
coins term man from New York was APP
pointed to Mr.. Fox's place at the instance
of Thurlow Weed, who took such interest in
the matter that he came to Washington to Sc
cure the appointment. Mr.. Hunter, at
that time Secretary Of State, showed SO much
reluctance in giving the commission and pa
pers Of appointment, that Mr.. Weed inquired
the cause. Mr.. Hunter told the story, and
added that Mr.. Fox was one of the most yalu-
BILE officers in the service, whereupon Mr..
Weed tore up the papers on the spot, and
said he would not disturb so faithful man.
Mr. Fox retained his place. He died, and ON
Wednesday last the great-grandson Of the
original appointee was appointed to the place.
So the office never went out of the family.

A DIsGRAcEFUL G0AT.--There is an old
goat owned in Lewis street which has feceiv-
ed greatpeal of training from the boys
Last Fourth of July they discovered that IL
they stuck fire cracker in the end of a cane
and held it at william, he would lower his head
and go for them, and they have practiccd the
trick SO much, that tho goat will tackle any
human being who points stick at him. Yes
terday noon he was loafng near the corner of
Third and Lewis streets, when q corpulent
citizen came up and stopped to talk with a
friend. They happened to speak Of the side
walk, when tho corpulent citizen pointed his
cane to the left Of the goat and said, "That's
the worst piece Of sidewalk in this town.
The goat had been cycling the cane, and the
moment it came up he lowered his head, made
six or eight jumps and his head struck the
corpulcnt citizen on the belt. The man went
over into a mass Of old tin, dilapidated butter
kegs, and abandoned hoop skirts, and the goat
turned somersault the other way, while the
slim citizen threw stones at boy seated on
door step who was laughing tears as big as
chestnuts and crying out : sob it's huff to
kill Teller? ''--Detroit Free Press.

oceans, island and seas, is carried out down to
/ the smallest things IN creation. From these
considerations it follows that if from two
\ springs side BY side, we should take 4 few
drops Of water directly from the issuing

scope, recognize III them the same forms Of
animals and plants W would, most likely.
conclude that both come from tie same foun-
tain. But On tho contrary IL i, one NJ saW
forms that did not appear Ia tho other Ne
would have some evidence that the tive ala
not have the same origin. Again, ii We should
recognize the same fauna and the same flora
| IN two springs one on either side Of hill,
other things being equal, even if miles apart,
NO would conclude that they have a fountain
in common.
| Hence we see from the fauna and flora Of
springs, together with their temperature, we
may draw some valuable infcrences, as to
their relation one with another. And when
we add to these considerations an analysis Of
the water or each, SO that we know their
mineral ingredients, we may estimate with
some degree of confidence, as to their origin
and character.
tits from considerations of this kind that
have come to the conclusion that the springs
belonging to this system have common origin.
And might here state that there Is much evil
dence that many others lying between the
crest Of the Sandy Ridge and the Swamp
Ridge, draw their water from the same great
fountain. Among these the one at Jacob
Buchanan's the temperature Of which Is fifty
two, IS worthy of note, also the one in +
Quick Higging's meadow near Sergeantsville,
whose temperature is 500, also one in Benj;s-
min Larison's wood, having the same tempera-
ture, also one on the property owned by Mrs.
Sarah Warman. These and many others that
| might name, have SO many points of
similarity, although scattered over wide
area, that we may safely class as issues from
the great Sandy Ridge fountain.
hope that the readers of this article will
pardon me for making SO many digrcssions
from the thread of this dissertation, since it has
seemed to me to be necessary that these col
lateral matters should be somewhat considered
in order that the main statements might BIO
more fully understood and appreciated. 1t
is not out of the way, perhaps, to say that
the Thermometers used in the above investi-
cations were those regulated by the Smith
sonion Institution, which is at present our ma
tonal standard.
The attitudes were taken with the Anero;d
barometer, and may vary sometimes a little.
But IN most cases the measurements have
been repeated and verified. With such an in
strument we do not expect to be exact to the
very inch or even to the foot, but we generally
read for such measurements SO that our errors
shall certainly lay within five feet. If closer
work is required than this, we use the Mer-
curial BarometeE more cumbersome, but
much more accurately adjusted instrument.
This contrivance reads to the thousandth of
an inch, and is perhaps, for ascertaining alti-
tudcs, the most decisive means that can be
brought into requisition.

wooden Shoes,

Experience has shown that number of dis
eases, often resulting in impaired constitutions,
and even in the loss of life, have been con-
tracted by portion OF the farming and labor
1Eg population in consequence of wearing
leather shoes, when engaged in their operations
during cold weather, or in wet situations. To
prevent those evils to some extent, wooden shoes
are extensively worn in France and Germany.
They are highly recommended by the agricul-
tnral s9cieties and governments OF Europe. I'm,
Of commerce and trade Of Winterburg
called a practical workman from France to
give instruction in their manufacture.
Not allowing water to penetrate, as leather
shoes do, they are naturally drler, capable of
keeping the feet warmer, prevent diseases by
promoting the requisite and salutary perspira-
ton, and are regarded, to q great extent, as
life preservers, even in such cases where salt
bathe, the use of wheys, and other medical
ments proved quite Intellectual. There Is hardly
an operation on the farm and about the farm
house In which they could not be probably
where leather shoes arc exposed to the destruc-
tive attacks Uf dungwate In blowing, moving
harvesting, in doing earth work in vineyards,
choPping wood, and In marketing.
Win these advantages, In a salutary point of
view, they combine such durability as to last
almost lifetime. They are light and easy to
wear, being provided with q small cushion on
the upper side within, so as to obviate apy
pressure on that part Of the foot. They are OF
a neat and pleasant appearance, either of their
Their size Is large enough to allow the wearing
OF comfortable stockings; in addition to which
they are provided with leather straps. Their
price IN Germany ranges from fourteen to
thirty-six cents-sboes for children being still

the country.

THH FLOWERS IN THE CoFFIN.-On the 10th
OF November child was disinterred from an
old graveyard at Claysville, KY, which was
1855. The child was two years old at the time
Of Its death, and rs il had shown q great fond
nees for flowers, its grandmother, when it was
lying IN sort Of stupor, sought to rouse it to
consciousness by holding two freshly plucked
damask rosebuds before It. The sinking child
clutched these buds and held them firmly in lie
little hand until II died. When the shroud was
forts were made to tale the rose sweets from
the cold clasp; and so the buds of flowers were
buried with the bud of humanity. More than
eighteen years passed away, when the cof6 u
was drought again to the light. The lid was
opened, and q strange sight was presented to
those who looked. The flesh had not crumbled
to duft. The child was In an almost perfect
state Of preservation. and its hand IL held two
full bloom damask roses. The leaves appeared
fresh. but they emitted no fragrance. The case
certainly Is remarkable one.
