A SEA OF IcE.
Encountered During Voyage from London
to New York.

The bark Kate Crosby, Of Yarmouth
Nova Scotia, which arrived at thi
port last Monday morning, So day.
from London, passed through an i'm
mense feet Of icebergs on her way
hither. The bark, very neatly bull
vessel of 696 tons, is now lying OF
Pigeons wharf, at hunters point
Her commander, Capt. Porter, has fol
lowed the sea for good part of his
life, and has been on the Kate Crosby
for the last four years. Never before
in all his experience. he says, has he
passed such large foes Of ice. On the
morning Of July Is, about I o'clock,
when in latitude 40 deg. 90 min. north,
and longitude Al deg. Al min. west,
being about 2I0 miles east northeast
of Bonavista point, the first iceberg
was seen. A thick fog through which
they had been sailing for the two pre-
vious days had just cleared away and
the thermometer had fallen. AS the
captain said, 1T was like cool Octo-
Der day" No rain was falling and
the sky was onl y slightly overcast
Soon other icebergs were reported
and the course Of the vessel had to be
changed In very short time, from
the deck, great many more were dis
covered. BY nine o'clock q icebcrgs
could be counted from the deck, and
from the topm;~t they could be seen
covering the sea to the north as far
as the eye could reach. Shortly after
noon the number had reached -. The
vessel sailed quite close to some
Of them. The water was covered
with many smaller floating pieces Of
ice. Some of them three times as
large as the ship, and the majority
were as high as the topmas,s. They
continued in sight all day until about
10 p Ill.,, when they became less fire.

after, between 10 and ID very large

PrOpagatOrs of Disease.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: "Among
the many agents for the spread of infec-
tious diseases are, it seems, our domestic
pets. For the propagation of a fever a
dog is sometimes as bad, if not worse,
than q drain, and a case is referred to in
the Sanitary Record in which scarlet
fever was carried from one child to anoth-
er by a favorite retriever. The dog had
been reared in q house where s~carlatina
prevailed, and was subsequently given
to a friend of the family, Shortly after
one of the children in the dogs new
home was attacked with malignant scar
latina and died. Disinfectants were
used plentifully, and every precaution to
prevent a recurrence of the malady, but
in two months time a second child took
the same disease, in its worst form, and
died. As the dog had been the constant
companion and playfellow of these chill
dren, its woolly coat, it is alleged, became
so charged with contagious matter as to
render it a source of disease and death.
Although it is fair to admit that the
children may have caught the fever from
other sources than his woolly coat, yet
there is reason to fear that both dogs
and cats, especially the latter, do occa-
sionally assist in the circulation of infec-
tious illness, and where fever prevails
the sooner they are lodged ont OF sthe
house the better. They are, however,
probably not more dangerous in this re-
/ spect than books. No one who evel
takes up a book from a library evel
troubles himself or herself as to the an
tecedents of the volume; it may have

A Good Turtle Dog.

If anybody has seen q black-and-tan
dog, answering to the name of ''Judge."
going down the street with a hard-shell
turtle, that won't answer to anything
and certainly won't answer to tackle-as
the dog will tell you if you a only get
him to stop long enough-please to halt
the clipping pair, as they are the property
of the editor of this paper. Weare fondly
attached to the dog on account of his
vagabondish, Bohemianish habits. He
knows every dog in Peoria Dynamo, and
is on speaking terms with nine-tenths of
the..dogs that come in under the wagons,
and he knows mole of the inhabitants of
this city than the tax collector does. The
turtle is q more recent acquisition. 1t
was placed in the back yard yes
terday, and the dog spent an hour and
a half trying to induce it to come out Of
its shell and be comfortable. The old
iron-clad maintained his reserve, how
ever, until the dog crammed his nose
against the forward part and commenced
to sniff. The pair seemed to come to
some understanding at once, for the dog
made an impetuous remark on a very
high key, and then they both started on
a trip together. The dog was last seen
sauntering along like a whirlwind, the
turtle staying right by him. We should
be very sorry to lose the dog now, as he
as acquired another important and valu-
able quality. He knows more about
turtles than any other dog in the coun-
try.-PeOriu RcUie,p,

Miraculous Escape.

Whatever may be said of mob-law, as
considered from a moral and ethical
standpoint, it has not, heretofore, been
open to criticism as wanting in thorough
ness. Even in this respect it is now
shown to be deficient. The man, Joseph
Reed, whose execution by amob at Nash
vile was duly chronicled in the press,
is still in the land of the living. The
doctor who dressed his wounds, a repu-
table physician of Nashville, has been
found and examined by a newspaper re-
porter, and the true history of the won
derful escape has in this manner been
ascertained. Reed was held in jail for
the murder of an officer. He was taken
out by a mob, a moose placed about his
neck: and he was escorted to the river.
Before the place selected for the execu-
ton was reached, the prisoner was shot
twice in the head,-one ball entering
behind and glancing off, the other pass
ing through his cheek and taking off the
| tip of his nose. He was thought to be
so nearly dead when the river was reach
ed that the mob did not take the pains
to hang him formally, but merely tossed
him off the bluff, some 60 or 70 feet in
height, into the rapidly running stream
below. But the man was not dead. His
fall was broken by a tree. He foated
down with the current until he had gong
q safe distance from his pursuers, and
then regained the shore. He made his
way to the Marine Hospital, had. his
wounds dressed, and went rejoicing OF
his way. Now he has to thank the mol
for liberty and escape from a long tern
of years in the P~enitentiary, or perhaps
execution in due form by the constituted
authorities.

The Fallen Obelisk.

There is some chance of the fallen ODE
lisk at Alexandria, fellow to the so-called
Cleopatra's Needle, being removed to
England. A gentleman of fortune pro-
poses to effect this at his W expense.
The estimates of cost and the supposed
weight of the obelisk arc very various.
The prevailing opinion is that the weight
is about two hundred and eighty tons ;
the cost will be about e10,0O o The
method of transport recommended is q
huge raft, as the conveyance of so cum
bersome a mass would be very danger
Gus in a vessel. 1t is understood that
his Highness the Khedive has placed the
obelisk at the disposition of the above
! mentioned gentleman, although the
British government had long since de-
clined the onerous present and given it
back to the Egyptian government.

Mr.. T. d. Hinckley, of Hoyleton,
Washington county, ILL.,, wishes to IN
derstand "why money should be beg
cling 3 per cent. Investments in Wall
street at the same time the people of the
West are paying from IL to 20 per cent.
interest on foreign money, giving real
estate at one-third its value for security"
The reason is that in the West and with
land Us security, the money has to be
loaned on long terms, and the lender
cannot get it again Just as he wants it.
Even when the mortgage becomes due,
it often proves difficult and even impossi-
BILE to sell the security and realize the
amount leaned. But when men lend
money for 8 per cent. in Wall street,
they take United States bonds as security
and the borrower agrees to pay it back
whenever the lender calls for it. Ii he
is unable to pay according to his agree
ment, the bonds can be sold and the
money realized in a days time. 1t is
because the loan is thus secured and is
ierminable whenever the lender desires,
that the rate of interest is solow. Be-
sides, the transaction is made here on
the spot, with nc papers except a simple
power of attorney, and it entails no anx,
iety upon the lender. The case is very
different, as our correspondent will un.
derstand, when the money is sent out to
the West to be loaned ON mortgages, al
long and fixed periods. Then agents
must be employed and paid, and there is
delay, trouble and risk throughout.
What is chiefly indicated by the pres,
ent extraordinary accumulation of money
in great cities, is. That business is par.
alyzed; hat there are no enterprises IL
which capitalists feel confidence; and
that a depressing uncertainty about the
immediate future makes every mar
anxious to place his money where he car
get it, and have it at a moments notice.

Beef Hung ND to Dry.

The dried beef is a production of the
Grisens, for which they are indebted to
their climate. At the attitudes of their
valleys the air is so dry that for nine
months out of the twelve meat has no
tendency to decomposition. Awaiting
themselves of this favorable condition
they kill in the autumn the beef and
pork they will require in the ensuing
year. 1t is slightly sailed and hung up
to dry. Nothing more is done to it ex-
cept eating it. In three or four months
time it is not only dried, but also cooked,
that is to say, the air has given it all the
cooking it will ever receive. 1t has be-
come as dry and hard as a board, and in
ternally of the color of an old mahogany
table. Externally there is nothing to
suggest the idea of meat it is covered
with cobwebs, dust and mold, and is
undistinguishable from fragments of the
mummies of the sacred bulls taken from
the catacombs of the Serapeum at Mem
phis. When your host brings from his
cellar the leg Of the mummyo of a Grison
COW, shrunk to the dimensions of the
human limb, and tells you that it Is to be
your dinner, you are disposed to advise
him to take it to the trustees of the
British Museum. He is, however, about
to prepare some for your repast, and you
watch the process with curiosity. 1t is

across the grain with a very sharp KNIFE

fiddlestring. Curiosity again, somewhat
stimulated by necessity, for the only al
tentative is the meager cheese, at last
impels you, with many misgiyings, and
after much d~eliberation, to carry n OF
the shavings to your mouth. After a
week or two's experience you will begin
