places in the ground, with feet to tho

consists OF good-sized rocks followed

Digger need not rise to prepare his
breakfast. The food consists Of bread
made from acorns, which arc first
buried, then roasted, then pulyerized,
aud lastly mixed up with water and
baked. This bread is said to be very
nourishing. Their mode Of preparing
squirrel, hare, ETC., is to take them Just

and then roast them. Another article Of
food, very common with them, is known
as the " fish worm" The Digger is an

The Interior Of the Ocean.

The popular ideas with regard to the
sinking Of bodies in the sea have usually
been quite linscientifc. Some have
theorised TO the effect that, iu the case
Of ships which founder ut sea, they sink
to certain depth and then float about
until broken TO pieces or thrown upon
banks beneath the sca-indeed, book
was some time ago published, sustaining
this idea. Others, again, argue that the
buoyant force of the water at great
depths Is enormous, and due TO thewhole
pressure OF the water above, and thatall
bodies which are lighter than water at
the surface will, II sunk to tho bottom
and detached from the sinker, shoot up
ward with great velocity, or, in other
words, that tile density Of tho water in-
creases directly with tho depth.
Now, IL Is proved by the most reliable
investigations that, though the pressure
increases with the deptll-eyen to the
amount Of fifteen pounds upon every
square inch for every thirty-four feet in
depth--the density is not thereby In
creased sensibly, owing to the incom-
pressibility Of tho water, so TINT, In
reality, neither the buoyant force nor
the resistance TO the motion Of any body,
Is sensibly augmented from the surface
to the bottom.
Atthe depth of 5000 fathoms, for in
stance, the pressure upon o square inch
Is nearly 5000 pounds, but the column

A Touching Story.

A very touching and beautiful story
comes from the East concerning the
Princess ALlrceline Czartoryslla, who re-
Gently died in Gallicia. Her little grand-
son fell i'll and his life was despaired OF.
The downger in u sublime prnyer asked
God to take her life In place Of that Of
her grandson. by n sort Of miracle tho
child was saved almost Immediately tho
princess was attacked by malady OF
lauguor Of which il was impossible 10
ascribe any natural cause.
"It Is debt / owe 10 Heaven" she
smtled, faulty, Afew days later upon
a radiant afternoon, she had herself
rolled out in her easy-chair on the lnwn,
and gave orders to have oil the doors
and gates Of the garden opened so TINT
everybody might enter. When the vii
layers heard OF II they at once left their
tasks. i0ld men and women, young
men and innidens and little children,
pressed about the dying princess, who
had long been like q mother 10 them,
for she held the old.fashioned notion
that the people are the family Of the
sovereign. Then began most touching
ceremony. The children came first,
Drawing the youngest one into her arms,
she embraced II, saying: "Let this kiss
fall again upon you all, my dear friends" :"
Then she gave to each child medallion,
bearing the evangelical words Glove
one another" After the children came
the young girls and women. To each
OF them slie gave u little case containing
implements for needlework and u nchnplet
and an image Of the blessed Mary. To
the men she gave. m ebony cross, and
for each gift and recipient Bhe Ind ap-
propriate words. When she had extend-
cd lier last present she was so exhausted
that her son and daughter.in.law, who
stood by her, wished to have her
wheeled back in tho house, but she said
no. She then begged the people to re-
cite in u loud voice the Dominica orison.
Then at sign from her hand they all
Imelt, and their voices in fervent tones
broke out in tho recital OF the Lords
Prayer. AS the amen still echoed in the
air she felt death invading her heart,
md, whispering "Afarcel," the name Of
her grandson, the child was brought,
and as he was being carried to her lips
her head dropped upon her breast, aud
without sigh she rendered her soul to
God. So much for scene that seems
taken from q poem-nn ideal state Of
society that one can hardly reconcile
with the present. F

The Battle Of Bunker Hill.

Apropos OF the Bunker Hill centen-
nial, Oliver Wendell Holmes has written
long poem, in which he gives us tho
story Of the fight as told by an old Indy
to her grandchildren. She Is pictured
as q young girl living in q town adjacent
to Bunker Hill, who goes into tho village
church steeple with others to witness the
battle, and yiyilly describes the assaults
and retreats Of the cred coats in their
ondeayors to force the "rebels out of
the fortifcation; the burning Of Charles
town, aud the final retreat OF the patriots
'tlilre tho swimmers from wreck" On
her return home she finds on the floor OF
the house n youth bleeding from
wound in the chest, but We will lot hor

'Yho tho youth was what his namO was salero

A Lawyers Epitaph.

AT the sixteenth annual commence
metit OF Columbia College law school,
which was recently held, diplomas were
conferred upon two hundred and ten
students. In his address TO the gradu.
ating class Professor Dwight counseled
them to refrain from all trickery, and
disabuse their minds Of the idea that
sharpness was legal ability. He remark
cd II the truth were told Of some
lawyers, their epitaph would read {:
/" Here lies -, who for fifty years was
an expert in legal tinesse, outwithng his
adyersaries, hoodwinking his clients,
and making use Of confidential commu.
nications for his own advantage; he en-:
tered hundreds OF snap Judgments, and
abounded in legal devices, submitting to
many rebukes from the court with be-
coming composure, making no rash re-
ply, but refraining from any expression
that would interfere with the future per-
formance Of similar acts; he amassed 9
large fortune and died; his grathed
heirs have erected this monument to
suggest TO those Of his generation that
never knew him that he once lived,
though those who have experienced his
fayors will not fail TO remember him: "
To such an epitaph as this who would
be bold enough to add: "And Of such
Is the kingdom OF heaven"

The question OF the influence OF for
ests on the hydrology Of q region Is one
that has been warmly discussed. Some
men Of science -Becquerel, for example
hold that forests increase the amount
Of water received by the soil, while 9th
ers-Marshal Valiant among them-as.
sert that forests diminish the quantity.
Some Swans, suchas NJ. Mathieu, sub
director Of the Nancy school Of forestry,
have endeavored, by way Of experiment,
10 get together such facts as might, II
they did not set the question OF rest, at
least clear up some points and supply o
portion OF the experimental data needed
Tor q full explanation at some future
timo. NJ. Matthew undertook 10 deter
mine the amount OF rain water received
by the soils Of two neighboring districts,
ono Of them covered with timber and
the other arabic land; and to find out
whether, in consequence OF the covering
Of trees which interrupts tho min water,
tho Boil OF the woodland Is as abundant
ly watered as that of tho open" His
conclusion Is that timbered soils receive
rs much and more rain water tltan tie
open country.

How It is Done.

Acertain noble lord, relates a con-
temporary, remarkable for the careless
ness Of his dress. went personally 10 pay
his tailor's bill. Being unknown by
sight 10 the new manager, who received
tho money, that worthy mistook him for
q servant, and, having cast his eyes over
the account and receipted IL, he hantlcd
the supposed servant q sovereign, atthe
slme time delivering himself after this
fashion aNow, there's sovereign
for yourself, and it's your own fault that
it's not two. But you don't wear out
your masters clothes half quick enough.
He ought TO have had double the amount
in the time; aud l tell you it's worth
your while TO use q harder brush"
With o queer smile his lordship an-
swered': l.tWell, I don't know think
my brush is q pretty hard one, too-his
lordship complains Of 1t, anyhow"
"Poohl Hardl Not q bit Of il. Now,
come, I'll put you up to q wrinkle that'll
put many o sovereign into your pocket.
Look here" fetching o piece Of wood
from the shelf behind him, "you see
that bit Of "a stick now that ,sroughened
on purpose. You take that and give
your masters coat q good scrubbing
whit about the elbows and shoulders
every day, and give the trousers touch
about the knees, and you'll soon wear
'em out for him, and, as ] say, 1t will be
agood five pounds in your pocket every
year. We Bhan't forget you, don't be
afraid" "You are very kind" quoth
his lordship, with q comical grin, al
will impart your instructions to my
valet, though I fear for the future, while
he remains in my service, he will not be
able to profit by them, as I shall not
trouble you with my custom. I am

"A correspondent Of q city. paper tolls
about the great desire on the part Of
young men TO leave the country and
flock to the city. The city Is full Of
palaces, he says; but all these do not
contain millionaires. Indeed, many q
one among them Ia the witness Of pecu-
mary struggles which would amaze the
farmer, and from which he may be thank
ful he is spared. Closet skeletons do
not all congregnte among whRtare called
the poor; they hold high reyel in the
proud avenues Of this fNir city ns well as
in its meaner streets.
Tie great cities, ii must be confessed,
offer, as n rule, great advantages; but
they demand, too, great capital. A
young man going into them first should
choose q time when business 3 alive,
not dead; when there is o denand for
more, instead Of thousands cllmoring
for The one chance. Then, to succeed,
and avoid shipwreck in great financial
and commercial centers, he must be
possessed Of unusual energy anl iudg-
ment and patience; must have IN un-
swerying sense Of probity and an un-
shrinking devotion TO tho filhInent Of
all contracts and obligations. Those
two opposite qualities, boldntss and
caution qualities which all met do not
possess-are also indispensable, in the
long run, TO city success. Holdness
enough to undertake operations suf-
ticiently yast to meet the large cost Of a
great business caution enough 10 nd.

check the temptations TO ent6r into
doubtful transactions or TO contrict with
those unworthy the fullest confidence
and trust. f.,-
But Il young men leave their country
homes without those high aspirations
which are to consummate in the great
merchants or the great editors career,
and ask simply 10 find an obscure place,
jogging along evenly with the noisy
crowd, I should still say: "Better stay
at home; there are many rough jolts
even in what is called jogging along in q
big city. There stands more than one
scholar here, measuring goods behind
the counter Of retail store; md more
than one New York car conductor built
for himselfa q higher place in his castle
than he Inns found. Better remain at
home and fit yourself into IN honorable
and useful place there, rather than rush
impulsiyely to the great city, to find
numberless others, equally worthy,
lamenting their fallen lot, or standing
altogether idle" -i9a s''
