An Old Danish War Galley.

About d miles from Botley, on the
bank Of the HANDLE, which runs out of
the Southampton Water, there lie ex-
posed at low spring tides two tiers of
old piles covered with mud and Sea-
weed, which have been favorite haunt
of the cormorant and other seabirds.
The piles extend from the waters edge
for some distance into the bank of the
river in the direction of Swanwick, and
according to tradition they formed part
of the wreck of Danish war galley
burnt and sunk at the time of the Danish
invasion of England in the year $40.
Within the last few days a gentleman
who has lately taken a residence in the
neighborhood conceived the idea of rails
ing the presumed wreck, and employed
number of men In making explora-
tons. When at depth Of some eight
or ten feet in the Maud planks were
found attached to the piles, and the
shape OF the vessel was traced. These
planks were attached to the timbers in
three thicknesses, each planed to a
bevel and bent to the shape of the ship.
The thickness of the planks was from
four inches to six inches, and the tim
bers fourteen inches by ten inches.
The researches were continued to the
keel, the measuremento of which was found
to be one hundred and thirty feet in
length. A quantity of cement was en-
bedded between the keel ard timbers,
and the planks were eaulked with moss.
The timber appeared to be CT oak, but,
the color being changed, it resemhled
coal, and was extremely hard; other
wise it was perfectly sound, and even
saw marks were distinguishable in
places, the Instruments used being of
much thicker make than those of the
present day. It is hoped that these ex-
aminations will be continued and
further information obtained respecting
this remarkable relic of past ages.

thus distributing the seed very evenly

in laying down meadow. Under this
treatment, you may expect fair crop

Walt. Whitman has ss Admirer.

Joaquin Miller delivered his lecture
on Literary London" in Washington,
last week, and in it paid this tribute to
Walt Whitman. s'Here in America, here.
in this high capital, there was once CO.
lossal mind; an old, and an honorable
man, with soul as grand as Homer
the Milton of America. He walked
these streets for years, plain, brave
old man, who was kind even to your
dogs. He had done great service, in a
humble way, in the army; he had
written great books, which had
been translated in all tongues,
and read in every land save
his own. In consideration thereof he
was given little place under the Gov
erment, where he could barely earn
bread enough for himself and his old
mother. He went up and down, at
work here for years. You Knocked at
him when you saw him. At last, strick-
en- with palsy, he left the place. leaning
upon his staff, to go away and die. /
saw him but the other day, dying, des-
titute. Grand old Walt Whitman
Even now he looks like q Titan god!
Applause. I thank you, that you
sympathize with him. Don't tell me
that man gives all his youth and all
his years in the pursuit of art, enduring
poverty in the face OF scorn, for moth
ing. That man snail livei He shall
live when yon mighty dome of your
Capitol no longer lifts it's rounded
shoulders against the circles of time >

The following is the testimony of
DIR. Loring respecting Hungarian grass:

by sowing the seed of Hungarian grass
late in June. from two and half to
three and half tons Of good fodder to
the acre, and that this crop can be
sown after we have ascertaineI whether
we are to have good crop or not, you
will see the value of this grass. I have
such high opinion OF it that ON my
own farm I have this year and last year
raised from 70 to 100 tons Of it for the
purpose of feeding to my mich COWS
during the winter.
A WRITER of an English journal SAYS:
Having lately had occasion to screw to-
gether two pieces of ebony, made use
of the following dodge. which was per-
fectly successful. I filed flat about a
quarter of an inch long on the side of a
common wood-screw, commencing at
the point. This cut the wood, and
| formed thread in the same way that
tap would have done. Having previ-
ously had difficulty in getting screws to
hold in box and other woods, I send the
| above wrinkle FOR the benefit of my
| brother amateurs.

Photography in Medical Diagnosis.

The. useful applications of photog-
raphy are numerous and varied, and
their number is constantly on the In
crease. In paper recently read before
the Medical Society Of Lower Austria
DR.. Ultzmann mentioned. on the au-
thority of DR.. Vogel, that an eruption
of smallpox had been made evident by
photography twenty four hours before
it actually came out. Although no one
could as yet observe any thing on the
skin Of the patient, the negative plate
showed stains On the face which per
fectly resembled the vario ious exam
them; and twenty four hours afterward
the eruption became clearly exident.
