Catching Frogs.

' A. correspondent of the Troy Press writes from Oastleton, Rensselaer, coun- ty, thus: I was out driving on Satur- day, and few miles from here found two men in swamp by the side of the road, who seemed to be crazy, to judge from their movements. watched them from the carriage some time, and finally made up my mind they were fishing, but how they could find water enough to fish in I. could not imagine. Finally called out to them, What are you doing there9" Come and see," one of them shouted back. I hitched my horse, and picked my way over the bogs to them. They were catching frogs. They would strike them with clubs where they could reach them, but the most of! them they caught with, snare.i They had 8 large basketful, more than @ hundred pounds,
 they said, and I guess they told the truth. One of them said he made a good deal of money catching frogs for the New York market. He, said that in one month last season he caught 1,600 pounds of dressed frogs, for which be got thirty cents pound, making $48O for his months work. Part of the time he had two boys to help him. Last week near Hudson he said he caught upward of 500 pounds and sold them for $16O, or at an average of thirty-two cents 8 pound. These stories seemed to me in credible, and yet he assured me it was truth. He can clear twenty eight cents pound, he says, easily. He seemed to be an honest man, and from the ease with which they caught the frogs I was led to believe that he had not stretched the truth much, if at all. ..,. .

English Social COwardice.

| A London correspondent of the New
 York Herald writes :3 I suppose all my English friends will feel outraged by it, but truth compels me to say that, in some respects, the English people are the greatest towards in the world. Phy- sical danger and suffering they will en- Iicounter readily enough, but ridicule and public disapprobation have terror for lthem which they dare not face. One of the most charming Englshmen I ever met was narrating to me only the other day how a young American, common friend of both of us, used to wear, when
 he first came to London, 8 Scotch cap in the street, and how he was finally
 obliged to tell him that unless he put on
 the orthodox stovepipe he could not ac-
 company him. in Hseems that etiquette forbids gentleman to appear in public
 with any other headgear than the afore- said stovepipe, and my English friend
 dared not countenance a contravention
 of the law A gallant captain of the
 queens body guard, to whom related
 the matter, sustained his countrynah,
 and, declared that he himself, altho ough of a profession which requires courage as it's first essential, would not venture " OAAOW AAh4oCAA 41OA4O bUk0Ou O1 bu0 park with soft felt hat. .,,os-s ,.s
 Pursuing my inquiries, I have found that a similar tyranny prevails in innu-
 merable respects. Mr.. Gladstone is re- ported to have said that a cabinet minis ter might better commit any blunder rather than have his front door ened by maid servant q Custom demands that 9 man shall, be employed for that duty, and whoever infringes the custom
 becomes an outcast at once. So,' too.
 the carrying of parcels in the street by ladies or gentlemen is forbidden, and I have no doubt been set down as luna tic by shopkeepers many time, because l would insist upon taking, home my | purchases in my own hands I believe an exception is made in the case of books, provided they be not wrapped up in paper. These may be, carried without loss of caste, but everything else is a mark of infamy. To walk with the coat unbuttoned in front is likewise improper,
 and is regarded very much as walking without any coat at all. Nor may gen tleman, not in business, wear sack coat in London. No matter how hot the weather may be, his outer garment must be frock coat buttoned up as I have mentioned Only in the country,
 and while travelling, is luxury of loose ness and comfort permitted. 'aH '1

Modes of Torture.

The punishmentsu used in Auburn (N.
 Y. prison, says the .Su,a, are the "iron cap," "tswing," and dark cell. The first named is cage for the head, fastened on by a collar about the neck. It is wholly of iron, and weighs from seven to ten pounds. The "swing is simply an arrangement, by means of ropes and a pulley, for hoisting culprit up by his wrists. The torture thus inflicted must be very great, yet men have been known to endure it for nine hours continuously before they would succumb. Bad as it is, it cannot equal that fearful invention of diabolical ingenuity, the dark cell. This latter punishment is only inflicted in extreme cases, never until Dr. Button, the resident physician, has thoroughly examined the culprit condemned to it, and has pronounced him free from pre- disposition-hereditary or otherwise-to scrofula or diseases of the lungs and brain. Even with all this care Dr. But ton and Warden Carpenter are both ex- ceedingly reluctant to avail themselves of this extreme measure for the preser- vation of discipline. The former does not hesitate to affirm that the dark cells have murdered many men and driven mad many more, and he stoutly advocates even the shower bath as more mercifnl and at the same time moro effective. Chaplain Searls unites with them in pro- nouncing the cat-o'. .nine-tails hun dred times more humane than the dark cell

Russian Industries.

In 1866 Russia had one hundred foun- dries and machine shops, only fifty-two of which were provided with steam. At the present time there are three hundred and sixty-two of these establishments, seventy nine of which are exclusively occupied with the manufacture of agri- cultural implements. Statistics are to hand concerning one hundred and sev- enty nine shops only; these employ 46,- 628 workmen. In 1868 there were two hundred and twenty locomotives made in Russia; last year the number was seven hundred and ninety-eight. A large number of English workmen are employed in Russian engineering shops, but they complain of being treated as naturalized Russian subjects; that is to say, their personal rights and liberties are but little respected.

The. Discovery of Geld.

Dr. George McKinstry, an old Cali
 fornian, tells the off told story of the dis. covery of gold in California, as follows
 Captain Sutter wanted lumber for build iRg, fencing, etc., and he sent two parties to the mountains to "prospect for tim, Der and mill site. Marshall, wheel wright, and party, went up the American fork, and Gingerey, millwright, went up the Consumes, the stream next south. Captain Sutter decided in favor of the American fork, and Gingerey was put to work building houring mill some four or five miles from the fort. Mar shall was sent to tho American fork to construct small saw mill. Peter Vim mer and his wife were sent to keep the boarding house for the mill men. The entire outfit belonged to Captain Sutter all the tools, teams, provisions, etc. No other person had dollar of capital all were under pay from Captain Sutter. The tail race of the mill was made too small, and in enlarging it and letting the water in, the rush of water turned up the gold. No one knew what it was. A small two ounce prescription vial full of fine float gold was brought down to the fort. McDowell, the gunsmith of the fort, swore that they had found g 'brass mine" I was at Yerba Buena (now San Francisco) at the time on business for Captain Sutter. On the return trip of Sutter's launch the vial was taken to Yerba Buena and it's contents were there pronounced float gold. The discovery soon became public, and the inhabitants of the little town-now the great San Francisco-became wild. Men, women and children were off for "the mines ? The little church on the corner of the Plaza was closed :; the pastor thought mountain air would be conducive to health. The alcalde Or. Townsend, I think) closed his office. The two print ing offices-the Star and the Cdlito,7aias, ceased to grind. The only sea- going vessel then in port was Hudson Bay Company's, bark, Captain Dring, and he left her swinging at anchor in charge of his wife and daughter, and started for the mines. You will thus see that it was the mere chance of building that saw mill by Captain Sutter that led to the gold discovery. Nobody but Captain Sutter at that day wanted saw mill for lumber, as all the buildings there were of adobe walls, with tule roofs, con structed by the Indians.

Hep Sticks.

A clergyman having been inducted into living in Kent, England, took oc- casion during his first sermon to intro duce the word "optics." At the con- clusion of the service farmer who was present thanked him for the discourse, but intin1ated that he had made small
 mistake in one word, softening down at the same time the severity of his criti- cism by saying 3s Yet we all know very well, sir, what you meant" On the 'clergyman's making further in- quiries about this word, the farmer re- piled: "What you called hop-sticls, in this part of the country we call hop poles." ~'-'

 He (the ocean telegraph operator, taps the "key" as in Q land telegraph only it is double key. It has two levers and knobs instead of one. The | alphabet used is substantially like the Morse alphabet; that is, the different letters are represented by combination of dashes and dots. For instance, sup pose you want to write the word !" boy. It would read like this :i e" .. .----":'B B is one dash and three dots; O, three dashes and Y, one dash, one dot and three dashes. s.a
 Now, in the land telegraph, the dashes and the dots would appear on the strip of paper on the other end of the line, which is unwound from cylinder, and perforated by 8 pin at the end of the bar or armature. If the operator could read by sound, we would dispense with the strip of paper, and read the messages by the "click of the armature as it is pulled down and let go by the electric pagnet. ..f .5. t..0.,....'. .. ..,.4i
 The cable operator, however, has neither of these advantages. There is no paper to perforate, no "click p of T
 The message. is read by means of g moving flash of light upon g polished scale produced by the A" dehection y of a very small mirror, which is placed within 8 'smirrori galvanometer," :" vi hich is small brass cylinder two or three inches in diameter, shaped like spool or bobbin, composed of several hundred turns of small wire wound with silk to keep the metal from coming in contact.
 It is wound or coiled exactly like a bundle of new rope, 8 small hole being left in the middle about the size of a common wood pencil. In the center of this is suspended @ very thin, delicate mirror about as large as kernel of corn, with correspondingly small mag net rigidly attached to the back of it. The whole weighs but little more than grain, and is suspended by 8 single fiber of silk, much smaller than human hair, and almost invisible. .... ...a. 4
 A narrow, horizontal scale is placed within a dafkened box two or three feet in front of the mirror, a narrow slit being cut in the center of the scale to allow ray of light to shine upon the mirror from lamp placed behind said scale. This spot of light upon the scale is the index by, which all messages are read. il The angle through which the ray moves is double that traversed by the mirror itself and it is, therefore, really equivalent to an index four or six feet in length without weight. y" ,..- af ri To the casual observer there is noth- ing but a thin ray of light darting to the right and I left with irregular rapidity :; but to the, trained eye of the operator every fasK is replete with intelligence. Thus the word "boy,". already alluded to, would be read in this way: One flash to the right and three to the left is B. Three flashes to the right is O. One to the right, one to the left, and two more to the right is Y, and so on. Long and constant practice makes the operators wonderfully expert in their profession, and enables them to read from the mir TOT as readily and accurately as from a newspaper.
