The Longest Swim on Record.

The Norfolk Chronicle makes the
death of Samuel Brock, q Yarmouth
beachman, the occasion of recalling
his extraordinary escape In October
1885. A vessel was observed at sea
about 1, p. NJ, with signal flying
for a pilot, bearing east, distance
about twelve miles. Brock, who be-
longed to Layton's Company, with
nine others, launched the yawl
Increase and steered for the object OF
their enterprise. About O'clock
they came up with the vessel, which
proved to be the Spanish brig Paguette
de Bilboa. Three of the beachmen
went on board, and the remainder of
the crew of the yawl were sent away.
On their way home terrific squall
took the yawl's sails fiat aback, and
she capsized. In a few minutes all
the crew with the exception of Brock
were drowned. 1t was then about
$3.50 p. NJ, and the nearest land was
six miles distant-dead low water ;
and Brock remembered that the flood
tide would be setting off shore making
to the southwark, so that should he
ever reach the shore he would have
tOswim and float at least fifteen miles.
The swell Of the sea drove him over
the Cross-sand ridge, and then he got
sight of the buoy of st. Nicholas
Cat, nearly opposite his own door,
distant four miles from the land. He
nextcaught sight Of a vessel at anchor.
He got within two hundred yards of
the vessel and hailed her; a boat was
at once lowered, and at / 80 A. NJ,
having swan seven hours and half
In an October night, he was safe on
the brig Betsy, of Sunderland, nearly
fifteen miles from the spot where the
boat Increase was capsized.

The Rajall.

Ali Schind one of the RaJahs OF
India, was noted for the uprightness
of his dealings, and for his nice sense
of honor, even toward the lowest of
his subjects. One day while out hunt
Ing with his courtiers he became hun
cry, and ordered some of the game
they had taken to be dressed for an
immediate repast. This requirement
had been anticiated by his attendants,
and they had brought with them
bread, sauces, plates, and oil they
peeded-all except salt, which had
been forgotten. There was, however,
a village near by, and q boy was hast
lily dispatched to procure some. The
Rajah hearing the order given, called
after the lad to inquire whether he
had taken money to pay for the salt.
At this his attendants expressed some
surprise, wondering that so great a
man should trouble himself about
such trlfes, and adding, that those
who had the happiness of living
murmur If he should claim ut their
hands gifts Of much greater value
than handful of salt. Justice"
replied the Rajah, "is OF as much
importance In iittie as in great things;
and the fact Of my comforting benefits
upon my subjects at one time gives
me no right to Cypress them In the
smallest particular at another. All
the wrongs and expressions under
which mankind grOan began In tittle
things, and il we would prevent
great calamities, we must strive
against the begi,mA10s of evil. Let
our young readers mark this, and II
they desire to become good and great
men, let them In childhood form hab-
Its Of integrity, virtue, and piety.

To Keep Cellars From Freezing.

The following directions for keep
ing frost out of cellar we find float
ing without credit:
A friend of ours who has tried il
says he prevents frost in his cellar by
FASTING the walls and the ceilings
over with four or five thicknesses of
old newspapers, a curtain of the same
material being also pasted over the
small low windows at the top of the
cellar. The papers were pasted to the
bare joists overhead, leaving an air
space between them and the floor.
He reports that the papers carried his
roots through last Winter, though
the cellar was left unbanked, and he
Is confident they have made the
cellar frost-proof. t
Wherever paper Is employed, it
will be necessary to sweep down the
walls thoroughly, and to use a very
strong size to hold the papers to the
stones, 1t Is not necessary to press the
paper down into all the depressions
of the wall every air space between
1t Is an additional defence against the
cold.

would not be recognizable. He was
afraid that illustration would not
do In this country, for there was no
use. telling Americans that England
was large. Laughter. But even
America was s0-small compared with
the sun that II it were a spot on the
SIMS disc, as large as America IL
would be invisible to the naked eye.
The SUMS diameter was, i'm fact one
hundred and seven times that of the
earth, while its surface was IL 600
times greater. The volume OF the
sun was ,280, 900 times greater than
the earth, but its matter was not so
much greater, being, 1t Is considered,
ene-fourth lighter than that of the
earth in proportion to size, or three
hundred and fifteen thousand times
actually greater. But the vast differ
ence which existed between the sun
and the earth even in this matter
could be understood wheDlit was stat
ed that II this earth were to grow in
destiny until 1t equaled the entire
density of the sun, the little half
ounce weights with which we are I'm
| the habit of weighing letters would
| in their proportion, have come to
weigh four and half tons, and an Or
binary man would weigh twenty thou
sand tons. Such then, was the mighty
power which ruled the earth. The
lecturer next proceeded to the con-
siderati0n of of the SUMS heat and
light. In reference to the SUMS heat,
Sir John Herschel had experimental
on the subject In South Africa, and
had found temperature one hundred
and sixty degrees Fahrenheit four
inches below the soil. He found also
that one-third of the suns heat and
light were cut off in mid-air. Filling
i'm the area, he calculated that as
much heat fell on square mile as
would suffice to melt $4,000 tons oil
ice. But then the earth presented a
disc of $4,000, 900 square miles in ex.
tent, and yet only 227-10OO part of the
the suns heat was captured on this
earth; all the rest was apparently
wasted. The heat given by the earth
would be affected by the burning Of
1000, 900 tons of coal, whereas to pro.
duce the hoat of the sun 1t would re-
quire theburning of IL 900 millions oil
millions of tons of COAL Professor

Whom DO Great Men Marry !

Women of course. But they show
the same diversity of taste that is
seen in the lower ranks, and on the
whole make worse mistakes. They,
however, generally show the same
sense In choosing wives that they
show in managing other peoples af-
fairs. whether It be good or bad. John
Howard, the great philantropist, mar
ried his nurse. She was altogether
beneath him in social life and intel
lectual capacity, and besides this, was
fifty-two years old, while no was but
twenty-five. He would not take No
for an answer, and they were mar
ried, and lived happily together un-
til her death, which occurred two
wears alterWard. Peter the Great, of
Russia, married q peasant girl. She
made an excellent wife and sagac-
ious Empress. Humboldt married a
poor girl because he loved her. OF
course they were happy. Shake
speare loved and welded farmers
daughter. She was faithful to her
VOW, but we can hardly say the same
of the great bard himself. Like most
of the great poets, he showed too
little discrimination in bestowing his
affection on the other sex. Byron
married Miss Milbank to get her
money to pay his debts. 1t turned
out bad shift. Robert Burns mar
ried farm-girl with whom he fell in
love while they worked together in
the plow-field. He, too, was irregu-
lar In his life, and committed the
most serious mistakes in conducting
his domestic affairs. Milton mar
ried the daughter of country squire,
but lived with her only short time.
He was an austere, exacting, literary
recluse, while she was rosy, rOmp-
ing country lass, who could not en-
dure the restraints imposed upon her,
and SO they separated. Subsequently,
however, she returned, and they
lived tOlerably happy. Queen Vic
toria and Prince Albert were cousins,
and about the only example in the
long line of English mOnarchs where
in the martial VOWS were sacredly OBJ
served and sincere affection existed.
Washington married widow with
two children. 1t is enough to say of
her that she was worthy of him, and
that they lived, as married folks
should, in perfect harmony John
Adams married the daughter of a
Presbyterian clergyman. Her father
objected on account of John being a
lawyer he had bad opinion of the
morals of the profession. General
Sherman married the daughter of
Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, who was a
member of General Taylor's Cabinet.
This alone would have been a good
start in life for any young man.

ing, official society is accessible to all,
and the introduction obtained there
to people of the more select ircles,
when fortified by wealth and pertina-
city, open the whole charmed round
of pleasure. Society in other cities is
totally unlike society in Washington.
There it is an interchange of kindli-
ness between households of friends;
1t is the festivity of happy anniversa-
ries, the union of families in new ties,
the cherishing of long acquaintance.
But in Washington-except so far as a
small number of residents Is concern
edits whole purpose and meaning
are anomalous; each administration
brings new following, each Congress
has new rabble at its heels; friend
ships are accidents of the day, diplo-
macy is carried on by dining; every
party has political purpose, every
civility a double meaning. Never
theless, the sparkle of wit, the kindle
of enthusiasm, are not absent from it ;
on the contrary, there is more of that
than elsewhere, for 1t is sustained by
the chosen intellect and beauty of the
continent.
You may meet admirals there who
have sailed round the world, generals
who have fought mighty battles, and
priests who may yet be POpes,
men and women who are fig
ures of the century; - they will
tell you the romance of their
travel, the heartbeat oftheir successes,
and you will contrive to hear 1t for
all the accompanying roar and sweep
In which they are the lay figures for
aspirants to measure, and the proper
ty Of reporters. In such q society, of
converse, all the asperities are soften
ed; this mans daughter dances with
the son of his arch enemy; difference
Is accorded to the opinion of q woman
on public affairs as IL she already
possessed her right of suffrage; there
Is an exhilaration i'm meeting and
avoiding and overlooking, in the
light and skillful skating over dam
gerous surfaces, while rare freedom
unites with a gentle, even If polite
courtesy, which Il Is delightful to
meet tonight, and which allures
you to seek it tomorrow. Society
without conscience &c Is possibly,
but for all that, sufficiently fascinat-
ing.
