occasionally gone higher.
These are wonderful stories, and
the reader may desire to know wheth-
er we altogether trust in their au-
thenticity and accuracy. The fresh,
spirited, and interesting narrative in
which we have found them is pub.
lished by one of the most respectable
firms in London, and is put forth as q
genuine book of travels. The au-
thor's account of the fora, the fauna,
and the inhabitants of New Guinea,
contains much that is marvellous, aud
certainly has hitherto been unknown
and unsuspected. Some of his state
ments, also, are difficult to reconcile

cu9e concerning the island. Under
these circumstances, his narrative is
likely to he regarded much as we
should view the testimony OF single,
strange witness To q startling fact;
we do not dishelieve it, hut we should
like to hear some corroborative evi-
dence. This will probably he afforded
by subsequent explorations.

For the Gallinolis Journal.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The City Ordinance
prohibiting swine from running at
large OH the streets of GallipOlis, has
been faithfully observed for many years,
and much loss and damage to private
property thereby prevented.
An ordinance to prevent cattle from
ranging at will over our streets, would
have like effect. Shade trees along
the sidewalks and frOnt-doOr yards, set
with flowers and shrubbery, add greatly
to the beauty OF any town, and indicate
the good taste and refinement of the IN
habitants. 1t is believed very many OF
our citizens would cheerfully incur the
expense and trouble of thus beantifylng
our town, if adequate protection againss
the inroads of these ''scalawags ot
cows could be obtained. some oil -tIleso
animals are as expert in opening gates
as anv ebieken-tIfef in town, anu the
on,onnt of damage they do 10 prlVate
"-..,,,a,.t,, is very great. They are MOTTO
P,a,, q being in search of food, which
.,lan'.,,,ars sbonId, but do not furnish.
IN 1,,,ara are other good reasons why
.,ah an ordinance should be passed,
si,ot are likely to suggest themselves to
tbe % minds of all good citizens-in which
class, we do not include those who allow
any animal or thing owned by them to
annoy or destroy the property Of an
other.
The subject might properly be brought
before the City Council, who are al
ways prompt in adopting measures for
the promotion OF peace and good order
in our town. A VICTIM.

The Girl to Find.

The true girl has to be sought af-
ter. She does not parade herself i'll
show goods. She is not fashionable.
Generally she is not rich. But, Oh !
what heart she has when you find
her! So large and pure and woman
ly. When You see it you wonder IL
those SNOWY things ont were women.
If you gain her love your two thou
sand are millions. She'll not ask
you for carriage or tirst-class
house. She'll wear simple dresses,
and turn them when necessary, with
no vulgar magniticate to frOwn upon
her economy. She'll keep every
thing neat and nice in your sky par
lor, and give you such welcome
when you come home that you will
think your power higher than ever.
She will entertain true friends on Il
dollar, and astonish you with a new
thonght how little happiness de
pends on money. She'll make you
love home (if you don't you are
brute J, and teach You how to pity,
while yon scorn poor fashionable
society that thinks itself rich, and
vainly tries to think itself happy.
Now, do not, pray you, say any more
II can't afford to marry" Go find
the true woman, and you can.
Throw away that cigar, burn up that
switch cane, be sensible yourself,
and seek your wife IN sensible way.

A New MOter.

The editor of the Cleveland
Leader has written to his paper a let
ter telling of experiments made in
Philadelphia with a new motive
power, discovered by John W. Kee-
", being a vapor hitherto unknown
to chemists, generated from water
and air without heat, ut any desired
pressure, and used the same as steam
in driving a piston. The editor, Mr..
COwles, thinks the motor discovered
will supercede steam. His account
of its performance is wonderful. He
gives, also, the certificate of VIM.
Boehel, mechanician, VIM. H. Ruther
ford, Chief Engineer United States
Army, and j. Snowden Bell, Me
chanical Engineer, who witnessed the
operation of generating the power,
that the inventor, in an inapprecia-
BILE period of time after the water
had been let into the generator, did
generate a vapor having an expan-
sive force OF 1000 pounds to the
square inch; that no heat was en-
ployed, no electricity or galvanic ac-
ton, discernable as resultant of the
action; that the water, after being
used, gave to the senses no sign of
the use of chemicals, and the vapor
was free from smell or taste. Ac-
cording to this account, something
better than the perpetual motion has
been discovered. The secret. of the
means of converting water instanta-
neously to such high pressure vapor
is kept until the method shall have
been patented here and in Europe

We condemn gOssip-scandaI $
twin sister-yet it is fault easily
committed. We begin by a gentle
deprecatOry reference to somebody's
infirmity of temper, and we find our
selves specifying u particular time
and scene, which straightway the one
who hears tells again TO some one
else with additions, slight, perhaps,
but material. Before we know it we
have stirred up a hornets nest.
This may be done without any more
potent motive than a mere love of
fun-and half the gossip in the so
cial world is of the nnthinking kind,
indulged in merely from spirit of
drOIlery. Far worse is that other

The London correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette sums up the situ-
alton in Europe in this wise:
There will he war before next har-
vest, or there will be a general dis
arming. And | am sorry to say that
war seems more probable than the
other alternative.
IL there is war between two ma
tions, Germany and France will be
the combatants.
If third nation comes in, Aus
tria will take the side of France.
If fourth nation goes into the
ring it will be Russia on the side of
Germany; and during the war she
will probably demand the complete
independence of the Danubian prin-
cipalities.
Italy would probably remain neu-
trail. But if she goes in she would
be with Germany and Russia against
the others.
If Turkey is drawn into the fight
she would probably find Egypt strik,
ing for independence. The Khedive
wants to paddle his own canoe, and
his army is in good fighting trim.
And England--well, she would
keep out Of the muss and devote all
her energies to selling coal, ships,
arms, ammunitions, ct cetera to the
combatants. She likes to see war
going on, but doesn't want to fight.

81 TRUST everything under God,
said Lord Brougham, ''tO habit, upon
which, in all ages, the lawgiver, as
well as the schOOlmaster, has mainly
placed his reliance; habit, which
makes everything easy, and casts all
difficulties upon the deviation from a
wOnted course. Make sObriety hab
it, and intemperance will be hateful; :;
make prudence Il habit, and reckless
pronigacy will he rs contrary to the
nature of the child, grown or adult,
as the most atrociOus crimes are to
any of your lordships. Give a child
the habit of sacredly regarding the
truth, of carefully respecting the
property of others, of scrupulously
abstaining from all acts of improvi-
dence which can involve him in dis
trcss, and he will just as likely think
of rushing into an element in which
he cannot breathe, as of lying, or
cheating, or swearing"

Oh, tired, weary patriot.
Not thy worn frame alone
Has found when danger threatened
The fond reliance gone.
We all hope have cherished,
Have bent before shrine
And offered choicest incense
To an idol false as thine.

This beauteons earth all DER,
Thy frelght-the ships Of ocean,
They lie along the shore.
There's scarce daylight passeth-

But tread we II yht, aud careless,
Above n reed that's bent.
But way up thro' the azure
BY the light of Jesus given
We see the rock of ages,
Onthe peaceful shore of Heaven.
No bending reed that breaketh
When we lean the feeble frame
But forever, and forever,
1t supportcth still the same.

He BEr BECAUSE THE ODDs WERE
GREAT.-A son of the Faderland
went into Barney Galligan's saloon
the other day and called for a drink.
Barney observed how blooming he
was with the "rosy" already, and
shook his head saving, "You have

he, pulling out fractional currency

"Yes, by jingOes, am" said he
mournfully, "take der dollar"
A friend of his happened to he in

rvxopERArE pleasures sh'

t.,,onrRArE pleasures shorten
a,s JoTs more than the best me-
d;caments ic can prolong them. The
anoy are schooner sick for the want
n food than the rich are by the ex-
cess of it. Meats that are too relish
ing, and which create an immoder-
ate appetite, are rather a poison than
a nutriment. Medicines in them
selves are really mischievous, and de-
structive of nature, and ought only
to be used on pressing occasions;
but the grand medicine which is al
ways useful, is sobriety, temperance
and pleasure, tranquility of mind,
and bodily exercises; in this the
blood is sweetened and in good tenn
permanent, and all super6uous hurnor
are dissipated.

Health and Fashion.

The Science of Health says: ''Not
until we deal conscientiously with
nature as we do with tradesmen shall
we, rs individuals, he entitled to re-
war,ls of merit We ask for load
of good wood, pay the market price
for it, get the worth of our money,
and have the satisfaction Of warmth
from the fire it makes. Suppose the
dealer knew we would not pay for it.
He would not be likely to give full
measure of the hest quality. The
dainty bits Of lace, jet ornaments and
plumes, rosebuds and velvets com
posing hat are very becoming to
some faces. The dressy hat has q
price; it takes money to pay for 1t.
The little lady wishes TO look stylish,
pays the price, and is satisfied and
happy until the fashion changes. She
desires hea tt and elasticity of step,
buoyancy OF spirit. Could they be
purchased at Stewards or of Worth,
millions of dollars would roll in to
the credit of their bank accounts.
Alas, poor child of fashion! gold can
not buy Cor YOU the tlewy freshness
of vigorous life. The sunshine and
raindrops are gifts. Roses in cheeks,
cherries in color of lips, come from
within. The price is service, and
faithful service, too, under the direc-
tion OF the most generous and most
exacting physician, Mother Nature.

peal to 4 higher cOurt-nO amend

vouches for the truth of the follow
ing story: ''The lion has not yet
been observed to lie down with the
lamb, but something equal to that
has happened. A white cat with
four young kittens set mp housekeep.
ing in box where there happened
to be two young rats. Instead OF
devouring them, as would have been
natural, she adopted them and af-
forded them the same nourishment
that she supplied to her kittens. One
of the kittens and one of the rats
died. Yesterday we called in to see
the happy family, and found the three
kittens and the rat drawing their
daily sustenance in happy promiscu.
business. The mother cat bestowed
frequent caresses upon her little
ones, and the rat came in for a full
share. II seemed to enjoy the dove-
lick, and responded in an affection
ate manner as possible for a rat. Az.
ter all rs matter of prudence, that
young rat had better move out be-

THE WINTER IN CALIFORNIA,

correspondent of the Evening Post"
writing from San Francisco, teases us with
the following statement concerning the
present winter on the Pacific coast Cal
| iiornlans abroad. aud in the Eastern States,
TOO, believe, are some times suspected of
exaggeratlon III their descriptions of the
hneness their climate and the wonderful
fertility and productiveness of the country;
their sketches are supposed to be rose
colored.. But considering that while les
oeIles Amertcatnes in Paris were grumbling
that they could not keep themselves warm,
and with hands and noses redeemed with
cold were longing for the more scientif-
cally heated houses of their own land;
while those who hibernated in the "sunny
South at Nice were looking ruefully from
their apartments at the cheerless, leaden
skies and the palm trees shivering un-
der mantel of snow; while you In
New York were-well. you know better
than any one can describe what you have
suffered; those OF us who were new
to the place could scarcely realize the
fact that We readily admitted that the CAL
ltornian has reason to rejoice that his lines
have fallen in pleasant places. There are
young men born in this city who have
never seen snow except on the distant
mountain-tops, and whose knowledge Of
the art of skating has been acquired on
the boarded floor of the rink in Wood
wards Gardens. The Sybarite COM
panied of crumpled roseleaf on his
couch. and the San Franciscan thinks he
is badly off when the Thermometer gets
down to the forties in the daytime. Dur
ing two or three weeks about Christmas
time. indeed, most people found fire in
the stting-rOom necessary; but several
persons of my acquaintance have gone
through the short winter without feeling
the want of a fire in their apartments, and
tor the last three weeks-and it is now
only the middle of February-I have been
able to sit in my room throughout the day
reading or writing with the windows wide
open. Roses are blooming in the gardens,
the large white spashe Of the sas.-,.;;ssa is open
to the sunshine. almond trees are in bios
som, aud the air is almost as genial and
balmy as in the delicious spring.like
weather of October and November. when
the grass on the hills had just sprung
up after the early September rains and the
trees were putting forth their buds.
