hatched out in the sand by the sun,

lived in, could crawl in it, swim in 1t,
and take it with him; he was always
at home. He didn't go into the ark,
but padded around on his-own hook,
with his head for PROV and his
tail for steering-oar. He was tem-
perate and sober, never went out on
a lark, and never tried to light his
cigar with the pump handle; never
got arrested; and nobody ever saw a
snapping-turtle who wished he was
dead. Oaughter.) His game was ex'

Gen. Geiger showed what a great
thing it would be for him to possess
the advantages of the snapping-tur'
tie. If he met poor relation on the
street he could draw in his head; il
he met a man he owed he could droI

then become matter of endurance,

Loss OF THE JAPAN.

The Pacific Mail steamship Alto
ma, at San Francisco, brought full de-
tails of the burningof the Company's
steamship Japan, at sea on the 18th
of December last, within few hours
sail of Hong Kong, her destination.
The alarm was sounded at 1I:30 on
the night of the 18th, the Japan be-
ing then off Breaker Point, and
within eight hours steam of her des-
tination. The fire appeared to have
originated in the forward hole,
among some of the combustible car
90. Prompt measures were institu-
ted to suppress the flames, the cap
tain and officers exerted themselves
to the utmost and bringing every
facility into requisition; but within
three-quarters Of an hour after the
first alarm, the fire had gained the
mastery. Passengers and crew be-
came terror-stricken, and struggled
to gain possession of the boats, and
terrible confusion and dismay pre-
/ vailed. The accounts of the surviv-
ors agree that five boat loads got
away from the burning ship, for the
most part filled with the Chinese
crew. A deplorable loss of life oc-
CURED, numbering Ala souls, as plac-
; ed at the lowest estimate, all being
Chinese steerage passengers and crew
with the exception of six. A por-
ton of the boats reached Hong Kong,
and others made the nearest shore,
near Sengmi.
On leaving Yokohama, the Japan
had a total of 557 On board, of
which I28 were crew, two cabin pas
sengers, two white steerage passen-
gers, and 425 Chinese steerage pas
sengers. The saved as far as repor-
ted at the latest date, embrace l06 of
the crew, the two cabin passengers,
one white steerage passenger and
thirty-four of the Chinese steerage
passengers. These figures leave to be
accounted for, thirteen of the crew,
one white steerage passenger, and
389 of the Chinese passengers, max
ing of 4O3, which probably repre-
sents very nearly, if not precisely.
the loss of life incurred by the dis
aster. Among the missing are
the first assistant engineer, quarter
masters Harris and Sutton, and Mar
tin Gusack, cook.

.,ow, 70 Reduee Gas RtIls.


A correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune writes:
"Probaly not one person IN ten
who pays bills knows anything about
his meter, much less how to read Its
record; and, from personal expert
ence, l can assure all such that 1t
paws, in more ways than one, to be
possessed of such knowledge. Do
we burn our lamps all day, or, extin.
guish the, to save consumption !!
Be equally careful with your gas,
and remember that you haYe not
stopped consumption when you have
simply turned it off at the burner,
You can save one-tenth of your gas
bill by going each night or morning,
when YOU need no more light, and
turn it off at the meter; and the
greater the length of pipe IN your
house, the larger in proportion will
be your saving, for, no matter how
tight and perfect your fittings there
is always some leakage. Tins you
save if nothing more. Again, gas Is
always condensing, and the waste
from this cause alone, at times, is be-
yond calculation, and IN certain
qualities, and at certain seasons, Is
greater than others; and Lere, too
the greater the length OF pipe Tile
more waste.
"Now, it is expected that every
foot of gas which passes through the
meter into your service-pipes is reg
istered. l think l hear you exclalm
''Would to God it did no more!
1t follows that if the gas is shut Oh
before it gets into the meter ther'
can be no registration. Have yo'
never heard your meter giving forti
a cracking, swapping sound in the da!
time, when you were using no gas
1t is recording this waste, the leak
age and condesation; and you vii
| find it in dollars and cents In you
next bill. But there is still anothe
saving. If each one of those person
who have complained that their bill
present great Irregularities will lear
to read the meter, and on the day tina
the company's agent comes to ''tak
it." take it also themselves as SOC
as he is gone, they will find, as ms
nv others have found, very larg
sized African slowed away anon
the figures rendered in the compa
ny's bill. do not mean to say ths
there is any dishonesty. But l haV
known very great mistakes to hal
pen, and TO the credit of the compt
MES, will say that they have alway
corrected them when shown"

FEMALE SMUGGLERs.-The famous
Mary Ann Boxer, the rich mans
daughter who years ago married
her coachman, John Dean, is one of
the lady custom house examiners.
Some time ago passenger off a
French ship was suspected of hav-
ing quantity of diamonds to get
through, and on the dock she was
told she must be examined. The
girl protested. It was no use. So,
turning to her fellow passengers,
she bade them a tender adieu. The
warm embrace she bestowed on one
lady was touching; she kissed her,
not once, but twice, and with
each kiss she gave into her friends
keeping a solitaire worth $4,000;
then she went off with whole mouth
full; which she would have swallowed
like so many pills rather than
disgorge. AS she afterwards ex.
planned, those awful big stones i'm
peded her utterance, and she intend
ed giving the custom house people g
piece of her mind. And thus she
was enabled to do so, thanks TO her
own ingenuity and the size of hel
friends mouth.-N. Y. Letter.

Rio Janafo Correspondence,
The Yeaper Bell.

To the traveller in Spanish Ameri-
ca the striking of the Yesper bell
exercises a potent charm. AS the u.s.
age requires every one to halt, no
matter where he may be at the very
first stroke of the bell, to interrupt
his conversation, however import
ant, and listen without stirring un-
til the conclusions of the chime, the
singularity Of whole population
surprised in moment as if by an
encounter, may be imagined On
every side you see gestures inter
rupted, mouths half opened for the
arrested remark, smiles lingering or
passing into an expression of prayer,
you would fancy them a nation of
statues. A town in South America
at the tinkIing of the Angelus, re-
sembles a city in the "Arabian
Nights" whose inhabitants are turn
ed into stone. The magician here
is the bell ringer, but hardly has
the vibration ceased when univer-
sal murmur arises from these thou
sands of oppressed lungs. Hands
meet hands, question seeks answer,
conversations resume their course:
horses feel their loosened bride and
paw the ground, dogs bark, babies
cry, the fathers sing, the mothers
chatter. The accidental turns thus
given to conversation are many.

A chinese Dog.

purchased at this village pref
ty large, shaggy, white dog, Of
breed which is common all over Chi
ma. We called it Mako, or the Ma
kowallah, after the place of its birth,
and never did poor animal show such
attachment to its native village. 1t
could only be managed for some
days by long stick which was fas-
tened to its collar, as it did not do to
let it come into contact with US be-
cause of its teeth. In this vile du-
rance, and even after it had got ac-
customed to us, and could be led by
chain, it was continually signing,
whining, bowling, growing, and
looking piteously in the direction in
which it supposed its birthplace to
be. Even when we were hundreds
| of miles away from Mako, it no
sooner found its chain loose than it
Immediately turned on its footsteps
and made along the path we had just
trayersed, being apparently under
the impression that it was only a
days journey from its beloved vii
lage. 1t had the utmost dread of
running water, and had to be carried
or forced across all bridges and fords.
| No dog, of whatever size, could
stand against it in fight, for our Chi.
nese friend had peculiar tactics OF
| its own which took its opponents
completely by surprise. When it
saw another dog, and was unchain-
ed, it Immediately rushed straight
at the other dog, butted it over, and
seized it by the throat or some
equally tender place before the enc
my could gather itself together.
| Yet Mako became most affection
ate animal, and was an admirable
watch. 1t never uttered sound
at night when any stranger came
near it, but carefully pinned it by
the calf of the leg and held on there
| in silence until some one it could
trust came to the relief. The Mako
wallah was most curious mixture
| of simplicity, feroeity and affection
ateness. | left him with lady at
Peshawar, to whose little girls he
took at once, in a gentle and playful
manner; but when 1 said, "Good-
bye, Mako" he OWNED at once that
l was going to desert him; he leap
ed on his chain and howled and
walled. -BL0ckUo0d's Magazine.

SCIENTISTS Experience with Tobacco

A distinguished French sayant, the
Able Moigno, contributes to the
discussion of the tobacco question
some interesting observations on the
influence of the weed upon his own
mental powers. For many years he
has been addicted to the habit of
snuff-taking, though conscious of
injurious results flowing from the
practice. He renounced it again and
again, but relapse always follow
ed. In 1861 his daily allowance of
snuff was over twenty grammes, and
he observed rapid decay of the
faculty of memory. He had learn
ed some fifteen root words in each
of several languages, but found these
gradually dropping out of his mind,
SO as to necessitate frequent recur-
renee to dictionaries. At last he
summoned resolution to break final
ly from the use of tobacco in any
form, and after six years of absti-
nence, writes as follows:
'tIt was for us the commencement
of veritable resurrection of health,
mind, and memory; our ideas have
become more lucid, our imaginations
more vivid, our work easier, our pen
quicker, and we have seen gradual
ly return that army of words which
had run away. Our memory, in a
word, had recovered all its riches,
all its sensibility. That tobacco, es-
