ders were obeyed, but the steamship
having considerable headway her for
ward movement was not checked until
she had come within 30 feet of large
ship (the Vaiparaiso) lying at anchor
in mldharbor without lights. There
were 100 persons on board the Dakota,
and if the lookout man had been less
efficient in the gloom and mist the vess-
els must have collided and one or both
been sunk. We understand that Har-
bormaster Nagle's attention has been
called to the alarming circumstance.

ADoG's HEARING.-Som forty years
ago, the well-known Devonshire squire,
George Templer, had hound called
Guardsman that so long as hounds were
drawing or running the drag with much
music-not in those days considered SO
great barbarism-never quilted his
horses heels; but the mo-
ment the fox Was really up. then went
Guardsman to the front and held his
own against all corners. 1 have heard
Mr.. Templer say that the hound was
invaluable to him for that very quality;
inasmuch, as frequently in the deep
| covers ne hunted, when the hounds
were all but out of hearing and their
notes undistipguishable by him, Guards
man would let Linn know the very in~
stant the fox was found; like an arrow
from the bow he sped forth, and never
stayed his course till he had run him
to the ground or brought the fox's head
home III his own jaws. L speak OF sport
antecedent to the period of the Let
'em-alones." when a pack of foxes were
literally kept in kennel by Mr.. Templer
and turned out as bas-men before those
hounds, and when horsemen like the
Rev. Henry Taylor and John Templcr,
more like Centaurs Than men, rode over
that rough country as if they were car
ried by winged dragons. and not by
mere horsellesh such as we see in the
present day; men, who, SO long as
honor. manliness and genial society are
valued. will long be remembered in the
county of Devon with unqualified re-
spect and affection.

English Architecture.

In an article on modern English ar
chitecture, the Saturday Rerie,r complains
of its defects in adaptation TO the purpO-
ses for which it is designed, and in per-
manence and grace. Co: ,erning the lat
ter defects it discourses thus:
ssThose who look at the massive walls
of our old cathedrals aud ruined abbeys,
of Durham and Ely, of Fountains and
Furness, will feel that herein lies the Sc
cret of their strength, of their immeasur-
able superiority to all ecclesiastical ar
chitecture of recent times. In modern
Europe it is a curious reflection that the
most permanent traces of mans handi
work are probably to be found in the
railways that run through the noun
famous districts. What force less than
an earthquake, if even that, could OBJ
literate every trace of the Mont Gems
Tunnel? And in England, thOughOn a
far smaller scale, yet similar works are
not altogether wanting; witness the
great level road that has been driven
through the limestone rocks of Derby
shire. There seems no reason why the
tunnels through such rocks should not
last as long as the caverns that are known
to have opened their arched portals and
internal hollows for periods measurable,
not by years, but by the epochs of geo
logy. And if any one holds that the
want of beauty i'm such excavations must
deprive them of any rank as architec-
ture, let it be remembered that the Pyra-
mids have no beauty. Moreover, nature
decks these roads and these tunnels with
living ivy, and yew that clings to the
rocks, with the woods of the glen and
the ferns that spring between the stones.
1t would, however, be incorrect to deny
altogether the quality of permanence in
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1875-08-18
The sparrow.s sharp Practice.

One of our business men, whose store
has fine front, was annoyed by a small
colony of these sprightly little birds
over one of his window cOpings. There
was only a nest or two yet in Occupa-
ton, but he had an apprehension as to
what lengths the affair might grow.
Accordingly the owner determined to
move at once upon their works and
dislodge them. This was done and the
broken up nests were soon lying in the
middle of the street; and now mark
the result. The feathered owners of
their homes had watched the dire
proceedings, but were neither dis
mayed nor disheartened. In ten
minutes after their dislodgment a
cloud of sparrows were on the spot
gathering up the scattered fragments
and restoring the habitations, with
much chattering, to the old place, and
in a very brief time the nests were re-
built, the friendly assistants dispersed,
and things were as before. The owner
of the building noticing neighbOr over
the way watching the maneuvres of the
birds, at the close of the drama, came
out of his store, at one look took in the
situation and with a shake of the head
gave up the contest.
