He only gave up the fruitless struggle
and leaped from her back, when a squad

fective in contrast with a disorderly gait.

Sport in France.

A Paris letter to the Boston Journal
says: The races at Longchamps on Sun
days are frequented by greater crowds
than ever before. / watched the home
returning tide of carriages from window
OH the Boulevard Haussman the other
day, and realized that no American or
English city on any festive occasion could
possibly furnish to the view such stately
and elegant array of equipages. Down
the beautifully graded and paved avenue
they came, the shining carriages filled
with the grandees of all the earth the
wheels made scarcely an unpleasant
sound, rolling smoothly OH the macadam !;
the throng seemed endless, careless and
happy. There have rarely been periods
since Paris became the strangers para
disc when there has been such vast and
varied representation here. The Span
iards, the Brazilians, the "Americans of
the North" as our cOuntrymen are called,
the English (oh, decidedly y, and the
Russians, are passionately devoted to
horse racing, but the French are more
enthusiastic than all these others in their
delight at fine race. Every Partisan
likes to call himself sportsman" as
he pronounces it, and to now and then
appear in an extraordinary suit of green
and gray, with leather leggings, recalling
to the unsympathetic observer singularly
mixed "reminiscences of the costumes Of
German students, English commercial
travellers, and American volunteers.

Hydrogen Above the Earth.

Recent observers of the sun are quite
unanimous in the conclusion that vast
ocean of hydrogen gas exists in its at
mosphere, and that some of the sudden
and prodigious changes in its spots are
attributable to its presence.
The corona, seen in eclipses, when ex-
amined by the spectrum exhibits very
clearly the lines peculiar to hydrogen.
Henry III. Howorth, in paper read be-
fore philosophical society in Manches-
ter, England, maintains that the earth
also has a stratum of hydrogen gas above
its atmosphere.
He says that aerolites examined under
the air pump, give out quantity of hy-
drogen, which were probably absorbed
when they were at red heat and the red
heat was due to their taking fire in pass
ing through this gas.
He says, also, that the existence of
this stratum of hydrogen explains satis-
factorily the phenomena of the aurora
borealis, which have perplexed observers.
The aurora has a spectrum resembling
that of the solar corona and of the zodi-
acal light. DIR. Dalton long ago sug-
gested that the peculiar features of the
aurora could be best explained by sup
posing some "ferruginous gas" above the
atmosphere.
Mr.. Howorth says that hydrogen is
now classed among the metals, and in its
relation to magnetism is intimately allied
to iron, so that stratum of hydrogen
would Just meet DIR. Dalton's view. The
theory will, no doubt, lead to careful OBJ
servations to test its truth.

How Hunks Went to Ireland.

They were all sitting around the stove
at the grocery store, and Hunks, who had
been sailor, was relating his adven-
lures.
"Were you ever in Ireland, Mr..
Hunks ~ asked Judge Pitman.
"Never but once" replied Hunks;
"and then / went there under very ex-
traordinary circumstances. You see we

York, and Just as we was getting out of

led and seized the ship. l was second

but was so weak couldn't. But felt

a fly; so l knocked at it, and ketched
one end of straw. gave the straw a
jerk, and / heard somethin' knock agin

another straw in and gave it harder

A Deadly Spring.

A writer in California newspaper
says: About half mile over mountain
from Bartlett Springs, there is what is
called the Gas Spring. This is probably
the greatest curiosity Of the mountains
The water is ice-cold, but bubbling and
foaming as il boiled, and the greatest
wonder is the inevitable destruction of
life produced by inhaling the gas. No
living thing is to be found within a cir
cult of one hundred yards of the spring.
The very birds, if they happen to fly
over it, drop dead.
We experimental with lizard on its
destructive properties by holding it few
feet above the water. 1t stretched dead
i'm two minutes. 1t will kill human
being in twenty minutes We stood over
1t about five minutes, when a dull,
heavy aching sensation crept over us, and
our eyes began to swim. The gas which
escapes here is of the rankest kind OF
carbonic, hence its sure destruction OF
life also of quenching of flames instan-
taneously.

THE YOUNG FOLKS.
The STRAY Camel.
By JOHN q. SAKE.

A camel-driver who had lost
His camel, CHANGING TO accost
A wandering Arab In the way,
Said, "Sir, my beast has gone astray;
And went, think, the road you came"
Pray" said the stranger, "was he lame?"
"lie was, indeed" was the reply.
"And, tell me, had he lost an eye"
"In faith, you speak the simple truth %
"And for his load, was there a sack
Of honey on the camels back 2"
"There was, indeed now tell me pray
or course, lie can't be far away
Just when and where the brute you passed ;
And was he going slow or fast ?"'
Faith !" said the stranger, "on my word,
know no more than have heard
From your own lips nor In my way
Have observed for many day
A camel like the one you claim
swear II, In the Prophets name."
The camel-driver, all In vain,
Beseught the Arab to explain.
lie still insisted, as before,
That Of the beast he knew no more
Than from the owner he had heard.
Whereat the camel-driver, stirred
With wrath, expressed his firm belief
This knowing Arab was thief;
Then to the Cadi off he went,
And told the tale. His Honor sent
And brought the stranger into court.
You hear this worthy mans report"
hC Nuui butu, VI Whut
But still you answer not q word,
Save that his beast you never saw.
Allah Is great and law is law
How know you, then, that he was lame?"
"By this, that where the camel came,
Upon the sand one footprint Jagged,
Which showed one foot the camel dragged "
"'Tis well explained now tell ME why
You said the camel lacked an eye?
And from his jaw one tooth had lost ?"
=" BY this, that nowhere had he crossed
The road TO browse the other side;
And, furthermore, plainly spied
Where'er his teeth had chanced to pass,
A narrow line of standing grass,
Which showed, as clear as truth Is truth,
The camel had one missing tooth"
"Now, how about the honey?" swell,
1t surely wasn't hard TO tell
The nature of the camels load,
When, gathered all along the road,
Thousands Of bees" ''There, that will do"
The Cadi said, "the case is through,
You are discharged! But let me hint
A lesson plain MS any print
A deal Of trouble may arise
At times from being Overwise."

The Jefferson BOrten Mutiny.

According to the London correspond
ent of the New York Graphic, the truth
about the mutiny on board the American
schooner Jefferson Borten seems to be
this: At New Orleans, from whence the
vessel sailed for Liverpool via Boston,
the crimps brought on board three men
"a Finn, an Englishman, and an
American-ali of whom seem to have
been of very desperate character. The
captain had his wife on board. She is a
very pretty and attractive woman.
Those men conceived the idea that the
captain was rich, and that he carried a
considerable amount of money with him.
Infamed by the passions of lust and
avarice, they plotted to possess them
selves of. the captains wife and wealth.
On the Goth of April they began their
work by killing the two mates, who were
both relatives of the captain, his brother
and cousin, and throwing their bodies
overheard. This was in the night and
they then tried tOget the captain to come
on deck, in order to finish him also. His
wife seems to have anticipated the dan
ger, and she kept him from going until
he had armed himself. The situation
was then this: on the one side the three
mutineers, who had already forfeited
their lives; on the other, the captain,
his wife, the cabin-boy, Swedish
sailor, and the cook. But the captain
had firearms and the mutineers had not,
and he first drove them to the round
house on deck, nailed them up there,
and then fired at them occasionally till
they gave in and consented to be put in
irons the time the mutiny lasted being
thirty-six hours. At this time the ship
was one thousand two hundred miles from
England, and it had to be brought over
with the three wounded mutiheers in
irons, and of course without any help
from them. The voyage lasted for seven
days. At the entrance of the Channel
they got man from Norwegian bark
to help them navigate the vessel, and at
the More they procured additional as
sistance; but a more exciting and per.
ilous voyage has seldom been safely ter.
