Canon Kingsiev.

Rev. Charles Kingsley, who has been
lying very i'll, is the son of an English
country rector, and was born in Devon
shire in 1919. He was educated partly
at Kings College, London, and partly at
Magdalen College, Cambridge, at which
latter place he gained first-class in clas-
sizes and a second-class in mathematics.
He studied law for a short time after
leaving the University, but finally en-
tered the church and became first curate
and subsequently rector of Eversley, in
Hampshire. He first attracted attention
by his novel, "Alton Locke" by which
he gained the sobriquet of the "Chartist
Parson." The success of this novel led
him to write a number Of novels and ro-
mances, some of which were more really
deserving of fame than was "Alton
Locke" but none of which equalled it in
popularity. Later he turned his atten-
ton more particularly to historic stud
les, and in 1859 he was appointed Pro
lessor of Modern History in the Uni
versity of Cambridge. His lectures
while holding this position were very
popular among the young men, but their
accuracy was sometimes called in ques-
ton. He resigned his professorship in
1869, and was made Canon of Chester.
Last year he visited this country, and
met with a warm reception from his
many admirers.

Daniel Webster was never celebrated
as a horseman, but it is stated on author
ity that he once rode on a negro's back
without spurs.
A third of century ago the road be
tween Georgetown and Washington was
almost impossible when the frost broke
up. 1t was early in March, and there
had been several days of warm weather,
followed by cold snap, which so far
CONCEALED the wet, spongy surface OF the
street that it would bear up man who
picked his way gingerly.
The Secretary of state was riding
home in President Tyler's carriage. He
had arrived at the outskirts of the Fed
eral city, near the Seven buildings, when
the carriage and horses broke through
the frost, and, after desperate struggle
by the animals, encouraged by the coach
man, a burly negro, thoroughly skilled
in his profession, il was found impossible
toextricate the establishment.
The horses were unhitched, and at ~
floundered to dry land. Next came the
task of delivering the gentlemen in the
carriage. The ceachman had no diff
Guilty in carrying the lighter weights to
the plank sidewalk.
But'Mr. Webster hesitated about trust
ing his greater bulk on the broad shout
ders of the negro.
At last he was persuaded to risk the
passage. The man assured him there
was no danger, and after much persuasion
he concluded to try it,
He was mounted well On the back Of
the coachman, with his arms about his
shoulders. A few steps were taken on
the frozen ground, when the weight OF
the two heavy men broke through the
frost, and they were brought 10 n stand
still. MIR. Webster was much concerned,
and implored the man not to let him
down in the mud.
"Don't be scared, Mr.. Webster, was
the answer. "Pll take you safe to land
if you will only be cool. BE quiet and
as easy as you can, please. But you
mustn't spur me. If you spur me you
will throw me, sure" And he fulfilled
his promise.

There is an old song for the nursery,
telling how monkey used eats paw
To get hot chestnuts out of the fire. The
monkey was shrewd and wicked. A
correspondent of Nature says that he saw
pigeons try similar experiment to get
corn:
Having occasion to wait for my pony
TO be harnessed at an inn, few year,
since, my attention was directed by a
gentleman Ga resident Of the neighbor-
hood with whom was acquainted, To
the strange conduct Of a pigeon. A
number of them were feedingCn few
oats that had accidently been let fall
while fixing the nose-bag ON horse
standing at bait. Having finished all
the grain at hand, large one rose, flap
ped it, wings furiously, flew directly at
the horses eyes, causing the snimal to
toss hi. head, and in doing so, of course,
shake out more corn. ] saw this re-
peated several times in fact, whenever
the supply had been exhausted. | leave
it To your readers To consider the train Of
thoughts that must have passed through
that pigeons brain before il adopted the
clever method above narratedof stealing
the horses proyender.

In all probability II was not Cat Island
which Columbus named San Salvador,
but watling's Island. Lieutenant
Bcccher, Of the English Navy, proves
conclusivcly that Cat Island can not be
San Salvador, and that Watling's Island
answers the conditions required better
than any other island lying in the track
Of Columbus. His two strongest reasons
against Cat Island are that Columbus
states that he rowcd around the northern
end in one day. The size Of Cat Island
makes this physically impossible there,
while II is quite feasible at the other
island. lie also speaks Of a large lake in
the interior. There is no such water on
Cast Island, while such lake does exist
on Watling's Island

Torm and Country ia England.

A writer says: The sharpness of the
lines which separate the English metro
polls from districts in every respect
thoroughly rural, the abruptness with
which the city and its influences leave
of and the country with its quiet and
naiyete begins, is something that Ameri-
cans can hardly understand. On the
broad scale with which we are accus-
toned to think of territory, and with our
progressive, restless spirit, we can hardly
conceive that ~ many enormous cities in
50 small an island would permit of any
thing really rustic between them, or, at
least, that the inhabitants should retain
anything of the ideal country simplicity.
But with all England's newspapers,
ttelcgraphs, and wonderful facilities for
rtlpid communication, the echoes of her
great cities reach but family the ears of
her country population, or produce but
little effect thereon, and the interior of
the island remains still the ideal of all
that j. characteristic of and beautiful in
the rural. Even the roar of London's
mighty strife seems to die away in the
smoke and fog of the great city, and the
influence of its community of over three
million people i. less noticeable upon the
country population within circuit of
fifty miles from it, center, than is that of
New Works million within a similar cir
cult of many times that extent while
the honest English farmers innocence IF
the world, of cities, and of the ways of
city folk would amaze his Illinois coun-
tcrpart and il, indeed, something of
which the American of to-day can hardly
conceive"

Electricity as Uafchnan aud De-
fecfire.

The late event at Bay Ridge, near New
York, where two professional burglars of
the worst type were detected in the act
by means of an electric burglar alarm,
and met their deserts, is a forcible prac-
teal illustration of the usefulness of
these ingenious arrangements, some
varieties of which are coming eX-
tensiyely into use. The parts com
mon to all electric burglar alarms
are a galyanic battery, wires connecting
il n doors and windows, and the alarm
proper, usually consisting of bell,
which, by the opening of the door or
window, is brought in connection with
the battery and worked by the same
All such contriyances may be strongly
recommended to all who desire effect
lively to protect their property, and per
haps their lives, against the attacks of
those outcasts of human society who
appear to be unable, or rather unwilling,
to earn AN honest living.

Depfh of American LADIES'.

There is a mystery about the Amerl'
can lakes. Lake Erie is only 60 or "a
feet deep; but Lake Ontario, which is
592 feet deep, is 230 feet below the tide
level of the ocean, or as low as most
parts OF the Gulf of ST. Lawrence; and
the bottoms of Lakes Huron, Michigan,
and Superior, although the surface is
much higher, are all from their vast
depths ON level with the bottom of On
tario. Now, as the discharge through
the River Detroit, after allowing for the
probable portion carried off by eyapora-
ton, does not appear by any means equal
To the quantity of water which the three
upper lakes receive, il has been conjec-
tured that a subterranean river may run
from Lake Superior, by the Huron, to
Lake Ontario. This conjecture is not
improbable. aud accounts for the sin
gular fact that salmon and herring are
caught in all the lakes communicating
with the st. Lawrence, but no Others.
As the Falls of Niagara must have al
ways existed, II would puzzle the natur-
alist TO say how these fish got into the
upper lakes without some subterranean
river; moreover, any periodical obstruc-
tion of the river would furnish a not inn
probable solution of the mysterious lux
aud refluX of the lakes.
