CITY OF PANAMA.-At telegram
has been received in this city, in.
qulrlng whether a cargo of coal
could be obtained for the City o1
Panama, on her next trip. An
answer was returned that the
most that could be obtained was
$50 tons. It is not yet known
whether she will come for that
small amount. The City of Pan
anna is considered to be the finest
vessel that ever came through
the Straits, and her coming here

was the wrathful rejoinder. The poor
fellow whose eyes "hadn't gone to-
gether the whole night for thinking of
his darling," and he ''could not sleep
at night for dreaming of her." keeps
company with him who desired an
affectionate daughter to marry him,
and see if he did not 'beat her mother;"
and with him who wanted a meeting
contrived with his inamorata when
neither of them "knew the other was
present." The Hibernian paterfamilias
is also displayed who wanted the chill
dren kept in the nursery while he was
at home, although he "would not object
TO their noise if they would only keep
quiet;" in company with the beggar
woman, who was the mother of "six
small children and a sick husband"
This worthy lady was probably near
relative of her whose son Bill "just
made two chairs and a fiddle out of his
own head, and had plenty of wood left
for another" Here are also the physi-
clan who, in case of infanticide, could
not determine "whether the child was
alive at the time of its death or not"
and the woman who fell into we'll and
was thankful to Providence and an
other woman" for assistance in getting
out. The man who lamented the fright
full mortality, since "there were people
dying this year who never died before; :"
the man wfO, after an illness, twas
sick for long time after he got WELL"
on account of the doctors doses he who
would rot fight a duel because of his
unwillingness to ''leave his aged mother
an orphan;" together with the poor
boy who complained that his parents
treated him as if he were 'their son by
another father and mother;" all are
here, and the list is very appropriately
closed by the account of the lrishman
who was riding a mule, when the hind
foot of the latter became entangled in
the stirrup, "Be dad, if you're going
to get up, it's tonne for meself to get

Light SOvereigus.

The Bank of England clips every
light sovereign that comes into the Bank.
The weighing of every sovereign is ac-
complished quickly; they weigh 5000
in an hour with one machine. Mr..
Palmer, the Deputy-Governor, informed
the House of Commons Select Com
mittee of last session on banks of issue,
that last year the Bank of England
weighed coin to the amount of f23, 100,-
600, and rejected ESQ, 600, or about 36
per cent, as being light gold. For this
last amount the Bank paid the value,
making a deduction for the deficiency
of weight, which is generally about Sd.
or I'D. per light sovereign. 1t was stated
to the committee that boxes of correctly
weighed gold, sent by the Bank of Eng
land to Scotland, frequently came back
without having been opened, and Mr..
Palmer stated that there is then some
reduction for light weight. He ex-
planned this by adding that the mere
shaking of the sovereigns on the journey
will make slight difference. There is
a point at which every sovereign be-
comes light, and many sOvereigns turn
that point on the journey. Mr.. Hodg-
son, NJ. p, a bank director, stated that
in box of 5000 sovereigns the number
which would be found to have turned
the point would generally be about
eight if they have not been disturbed !;
and he added: "YOu are aware that the
sovereign which is in your pocket at S
o'clock i'm the morning is not the same
sovereign at II O'Clock at night" After
this rather alarming announcement il
is satisfactory to find Mr.. Hodgson
stating also that the charge for light
weight on the eight deficient sovereigns
would be about 2d. per coin, making
only 16d. on the box of 5000; so that
says he, sit really amounts to nothing"

perry will be easily adjusted to it, for as
Spencer says, ''Sonl is form and doth
the body make" Patience must pre-
side from the beginning, middle. and
end of the work. The clay must be
kept overmore plastic with the love of
truth and purity. Nothing will harden
it so quickly as vice and prejudice.
And We must work till our life's end
on the corners of the mouth, on the
lines about the eyes, on the curves of
the brow, on the pose of the head, till
the Master appear and pronounce the
"Well DONE" That his eye may ap-
prove, the form beneath all the drapery
must be modelled in the severe and
naked simplicity of Truth and Virtue.
To many of us is given the modelling
of characters other than our own. 1t
is in our power by judicious training,
by the power of love, by the inspiring
influence of example, to work out nat
ural defects in the clay, and to impress
on it images of beauty; to fashion it in
fair and graceful outlines, and make of
it vessel unto honor. ''Like clay in
the hands of the potter" are the hearts
of our children in ours, and we are,
whether we are conscious of it or not,
molding their destinies. What skill,
what wisdom, and above all, what
patience we need!

Bad Listening.

Conversation is more frequently
spoiled and ruined by bad listening
than by bad talking. Two persons or
several, may engage in the discussion
of subject with which each is well ac-
quainted, and each may possess COM
mand of language and fiuency of die
tion, but if one of them is an inatten-
tive, uneasy or inpatient listener, the
conversation become confused and ir-
regular, often irritating, and either of
itself breaks up altogether, or is aban-
doned with a mutual or general sense
of relief on the occurrence of any in
terruption from without. There are
various classes of such offenders, exam
piles of each of which may not seldom
be met with in single large party.
The least blameable, and the least en-
barrassing, but eften sufficiently so to
distract the best takers, and to hinder
the process of discourse, are the ner-
vous and fidgety, who, although per-
haps desirous and intending to give at
tention to the subject under treatment,
are unable to control physical restless
ness while others are speaking. This
manifests itself i'm various ways-by
wanderings of the eyes, movements of
the limbs, arrangements of the dress,
taking up and putting down books and
other objects, and often by very un-
calmly tricks practiced by an astonish-
ingly large number of sensible, well
educated, and otherwise well conducted
people. The presence of a single
person of this temperament i'm an audi
ence is notoriously sufficient to annoy
and discompose even eminent public
speakers, and often spoils speech or a
sermon. 1t is not to be wondered at
that, in the closer communication OF
social intercourse, it should prove very
frequently the stumbling block to con-
Hour.

Musk, Amberxri., and sanron.

Musk arrives in its natural condition
in small pOnches, packed tins or cad
dies, and often horribly adulterated.
Down right fictitious musk is also sent
to this country, the emptied pouches
being refilled with abOminable trash
cOncOcted for purposes of fraud by the
Heather Chinee" and other child like
Orientals. A great quantity of genuine
musk, however, comes TOnquin, from
Central ASIA, and from the Indian Ar
chipelago. The extraordinary perma-
nence of this perfume is well known.
A handkerchief once scented with it
may be washed a dozen times and
stored away for several years. but
when taken out the scent of the musk
deer "will cling to it still'' and display
the power falsely ascribed to the rose.
Other instances of the endurance of
musk might be given-such as the IA
nous one of the apartments of the En-
press Josephine at MalmaisOn, from
which no quantity of scrubbing, paint
ing. and fumigating could remove the
subtle penetrating OdOr. Ambergris.
of which sundry tins are for sale, is
another curious animal product. Sc
cretion of the sperm whale. still known
as perfume, and sold at large prlce in
Mincing Lane, but much fallen from
its medieval celebrity as cOndiment.
We do not much care for dishes
''drenched with Observation-Disclosures
being good enough for the gOurmands
of these degenerate days. Saffron. too,
has fallen from its high estate, and is
no longer priced as of old as medicine,
cOndiment, perfume, or dye. In the
good old time saffron and almond mink
were the sheet anchors of the master
coOks,n of such luxurious mOnarchs
as our Richard III but except in bOuIl-
labaisse and baba cakes, saffron is
now rarely met with on our tables. So
highly was it esteemed in the middle
ages that tremendous edicts were full
minated against sOphisticatOrs of the
popular condiment. In Germany
notably in Nuremberg-a Safranscban
or saffron inspection was established,
and adulterated gaOds, whether holden
knowingly or not, were burned, to-
gether with the prOprietors. At one
time it was largely cultivated around
Saffron Walden in Essex.-Au the

Magnificent Bulls.

Although rhetoricians hesitate a little
to denominate the "bull" a figure of
speech, yet the frequency with which
it occurs, the danger which every one
is under of perpetrating one, and the
cousinship it sustains to hyperbole, all
combine to give it half assured posi-
ton i'm the list of figures. Coleridge
defines ''bull' thus: sit is a mental
juxtaposition of incongruous ideas, with
the sensation, but without the reality,
of connection" Jerrold's tipsy SER
want, after long fumbling at the door
with his key, finally declared that some
scOundrel had stolen the key-hole, a
drunken notion which approached the
nature of bull. The bull is not con-
fined to the Irish. Many of the best
come down from Greece and Rome. 1t
was a Greek who heard that a goose
lived 200 years. and bought one TO see,
who shut his eyes and looked in the
glass to see what sort of a corpse he
would make: and who, having a house
for sale, carried round brick as a spe-
cimen. But the Irish have acquired a
reputation for ''bulls," and must keep
it. 1t is suggested that the Irishman
speaks foreign language, and so is not
so accurate as an Englishman; but this
does not account for the odd mistakes
sometimes made by those Irishman who
never knew a word of Celtic. Perhaps,
after all, the best explanation is that
offered by an Irishman: "Sure it must
be i'm the climate. If an Englishman
was born in Ireland, he would make
just as many" This piece of uninten-
tiOnal richness was good, but not quite
so racy as the conduct of Dublin mob.
who had spite against a banker, and
tried to ruin him by burning go, 900 of
his banks notes.
A rarer list is given, comprising.
among others, the Irishman who stole
chocolate, and he and ''his ould oman
made tay of it," the waiter and the
restaurant guest: "Tay or coffee, sir 20
''Tay." SCOT no tay;" he who played
at cards, and, inspecting the pool,
missed shilling. ''Here's a shilling
short, Who pnt II in ?" and the two
prominent members of the Irish bar,
one of whom knocked the other down,
and told him he would make him be-
have like a gentleman but the other,
rising with Irish valor; 81 defy you,
sir? no, sir, you could not do it."
Neither are the lovers forgotten. 81
will never speak to you more," said he
with extreme vexation. "Keep your
