Ringing for the Water Boy.

A good story is told of verdant one
who was passenger in a railway express
train, and became thirsty.
"Where's that ere boy with the water
camp" he queried of his next neighbor.
"Hc has gone forward to the baggage
car, | suppose" was the reply.
"Wall, dye s'pose l kin git him back
here again ?"
Certainly" said the other, "you have
only to ring for him; and he nodded
toward the bell line that ran above their
heads.
No sooner said than done. Before any
one could prevent it, Rustic had seized the
line and gave it tremendous tug. The
consequences were at once obvious three
sbrill whistles were heard, half dozen
brakemen ran to their posts, and the train
came to stand still with suddenness
that startled half the passengers with
astonishment, and caused every man near
a window to hoist II and look out 10 see
what was the matter.
In few minutes the conductor, red and
excited came foaming into the car to know
who pulled the bell rope.
Here, mister, this way; I'm the man."
shouted the offender, drawing all eyes upon
him.
"You p said the conductor. "What
did you do it for ?"
"Cos | wanted some water"
Wanted some water?"
"Sartin; l wanted the water boy, and
my pardner here in the seat said I'd
better ring for him, as we do at the hotel,
an so l yanked the rope. viii he be
along soon2 An by the by what in
thunder be you stOppin' for"
The shout of laughter that greeted this
honest confession, was toe much for the
conductor, and he had to wait until he
got his train under way before he explain
ed the mysteries of the bell rope to his
verdant customer.-Boston Commercial

FEOUNDITY OF SWINE.

Vauban has shown by an interesting calcula.
lion the wonderful fecundity Of swine. BY
ahis it appears that in ten generations the
ysogeny OF single SOW will number over six
millions of males and females, thus:
In her first litter will be. say three females
IN the second and third years the four will
produce fifteen females. These nineteen will
produce twenty-three litters Of three Dmales
each. making sixty-nine. Thus increasing in
aeometrical ratio. and allowing for such as
sease to produce on account of age. the tenth
generation will number 8, 2l7, 4l9 females, and
/, grand total of 6,434, 1873 males and females,
or allowing for the effects Of accidents and
diseases q loss of 434. 1873 pigs. the progeny Of
he single SOW in ten. years will numbe.
100000.
These numbers seem stupendous, but when
d is of authentic record that single SOW in
,he county of Leicester produced in twenty
Filters three hundred and flfty pigs, the calcu'
htion of yauban seems both possible and
probable.

THE NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.

The American National Board of Trade.
which will assemble at Philadelphia June
18th, will deliberate and act upon tho follow
ing matters in the order named:
Capitation Ok on immigrants, bureau OF
internal improvements, the Mississippi River
lsvees, postal rates with view to their re-
anction) the postal telegraph, uniformity IN
weights and measures, shipping laws, trans
portation, the Alabama water route, resump-
zion of specie payments. the national bank
ing law, savings banks, steamboat law, Cams
dian reciprocity, direct importations to the
interior, and amendments to the constitution
Of the board.
Many of these matters are of very great I'M
portance They will be considered by inc
ablest merchants from all the cities OF the
Union in debates which will throw food OF
Eight upon matters OF great moment 70 mel
chants, legislators and citizens. For the rea-
Don that the representatives OF cities IN tne
National Board will be selected on account OF
character and intelligence, the body will be
essentially non partisan. 1t is most devoutly
10 be hoped that the National Board may be
,oually non sectional and will conduct its de-
hates and announce its conclusions in truly
national, impartial, catholic and liberal spirit.
Ha proper spirit prevails and no attempt
is made to pervert the action Of the Board to
any sectional or political purpose, or to any
local OF individual interest, great good must
result from an interchange of opinions and
m accumulation of information. The de-
eisions and recommendations Of such body,
if made in truly honorable and liberal spirit,
ought to have great weight upon the legisla-
zion of Congress.
Describing what is partisan and sectional,
studying to promote the joint and concurrent
success all worthy enterprises, looking to the
improvement and development Of all branches
Of industry, and studying to give good and ne
oessary advice, the enlightened merchants Of
NE republic will accomplish much good.
There is an increasing disposition to give to the
advice of able men, assembled for the pur-
pose Of deliberation, when rendered in the
proper spirit, almost the sanction and force
Of law.

A HINT TO THE SUBURBAN POLICE.

We are firm believers in the rights of prop
cry, and in the justice which allows every
man TO use his own in any manner which
no thinks best. We believe that what is pub
nc and apparently useless pasture land should
be ct the service of any and all persons who
can derive the least possible benefit from it
But, we submit, all this should be done in
sach manner as not to interfere with the
business or pleasure of others who are equally
entitled to the privilege.
The arabic land in the rear of the city is Of
great service to the milkmen who have their
diaries near at hand, and we fully endorse the
hcit permission which has been given them
TO use it. This permission, however. is some
times carried to too great an extent.
1t costs the city large sums of money every
year to keep in proper repair the Canal street
shell road and the bitches running alongside
Of it. and yet the COWS belonging to the milk
men living in the suburbs are allowed to run
loose all over that section Of the city, and are
constantly breaking up the bitches, and tear
ing up the earth, filling Of the old canal, which
formerly occupied the center of the street.
BY running these bitches the drainage of o
large portion of the city is spoiled.
After heavy rains large pools of water may
b seen all along the roadside, and nearly
always become stagnant and disagreeable be-
sbrs any measures are taken to drain off the
water II the cutters were, when once dug
out and scleansd, kept intact, all this would
be avoided, the pleasure of drive on the
road greatly enhanced, and the drainage of
the rear of the city much improved.
The suburban police have little or nothing
10 do, and if they were to make an occasional
effort to abate this nuisance they would be
sonferring benefit on the public and teach
ing these dairymen judicious lesson.

The WAY TO GET ALoNG.-Iwenty clerks in
store, twenty hands in printing office. twenty
vilfage-all want to get along in the world, and
expect to do go. One of the clerks will become q
partner, and make a fortune; one of the compost
tors will own a newspaper, and become an indu-
entail citizen; Of the apprentices will become
a master builder; one of the young villagers will
get handsome farm, and live like patriarch
but which one is the lucky individual? Lucky ?
There is no luck about it, The thing is almost as
certain as the rule Of three. The young fellow
who will distance his competitors is he who mas
tors his business, who preserves his integrity,
who lives clearly and purely, who devotes his
leisure to the acquisition acknowledge, who gains
friends by deserving them. and who saves spare
money. There are some ways to fortune shorter
than this old, dusty highway; but the staunch
men of the community, the men who achieve
something really worth having, good fortune,
good name, and serene old age, all go in this
hard, dirty road. Exchange.

Dear B,Aletia-I am q great admirer of the
amateur clubs Of our city, and have had many
discussions with my friends relative to the re-
spective merit Of our different organizations,
and although but a poor weak woman, l am
heartily in accord with any movement that will
result in final decision as to which is the best
club yet, il charity is to be the object, / think
Joint perfo1m nance would attract more attention
and be productive of better results.
Let committee of gentlemen be appointed
who are known to be good dramatic judges, and
who have no favoritlsm as regards the different
clubs, and let them select some drama replete
with good parts, and choose representative mem
beers from the leading clubs, and splendid per-
Torrance will be the result. I am sure the gen.
tlemen of the different dramatic organizations
will be willing to play any part for which they
are cast by an impartial committee. Such per-
Torrance would be one of the grsndest dramatic
events that ever occurred in New Dreams.
Please agitate this question in your valuable
paper and Obllge your friend, CARRIE.
We are much obliged to you, Miss Carrie,
for your good opinion of the BULLETIN, and
We are always glad to hear from our lady
friends We like your plan better than any
yet suggested for the purpose Of relieving the
treasury of the Aid Association, and deem it
quite feasible. We think, however, that some
prominent gentlemen Of some Of our clubs
should take an interest in the matter, and let
Us know which plan they suggest. Will not
the Orleans Dramatic Association favor their
friends by an expression Of opinion?

A San Francisco inventor has applied for .
patent on horse-brake Of his contrlvance. 1t
is intended to control a horse in much the same
way as q wagon is governed in its movements by
q brake. A blu ckle with belt is attached to the
ring Of the breeding on the left side Of the
horse, and the belt is continued around the lat
ter's breast where it is fastened to the martin
gale. Thence it passes to the right hand side Of
the buggy seat, where it is caught by buckle
and loop. When the reins are pulled tight, the
brake pres SEES on the forelegs OF the horse imme-
diatcly below the breast, stopping him instantly,
and preventing him from rearing or kicking.
should the reins slip from the hands Of the
driver or break, the horse can be brought to a
stapdstill by pulling the strap.

Lizards. Coolies and .Rattlesnakes.

The Ceylon house lizard is about four inches
long, and of a dark brown or greenish yellow
color. They are usually in a state OF torpor
during the day, but swarm over the walls and
ceilings about sunset and during the evenings,
when tDeir bird-hke chirplng is to be heard on
all sides. While in Colombo we met a Scotch
man who kept three or four Of these lizards in
his bed for the purpose OF destroying the mos
ouitoes. The bed was covered over with mosquito
netting, and the lizards were put inside during
the day, and car. fully removed to the outside
Of the netting at night.
Our friend assured us that since he had
adopted thi. strange precaution he had never
been troubled by mosquitoes, while before he
could not keep free from them, as stray ones
would &c inside the netting when the bed was
being made There is no doubt that if the native
servants in Colombo could be persuaded to cul-
tivate clearly habits, the number OF insectlve in.
truders would rapidly diminish. To teach q
native cleanliness, however, is a herculean task,
and one which the hotel proprietors do not feel
inclined to undertake. The native servants are
not only averse to cleanliness about the house,
but their persons also are far from clean, because
of the use Of cocoa-nut oil, with which they
smear their bodies. An an cdote was told us by
the ScOtchman mentioned, which is appropos Of
this subject, but which the reader is not bound
to believe.
A newly arrived Englishman in Ceylon was
visiting coffee planter on his estate near New
era Elyia, when the conversation turned upon
the dirty habits Of the natives, the planter say
ing that good sporting dOg COut0 trace tnem
by their scent. Shortly afterwards one Of the
servants came in hurriedly to say that DIX po-
Tonga, the most venomous serpent found in Cey
lon, had bitten a coolie. Catching the words dak
poJOnqd in the course Of conversation, and judg-
ing from the actions OF the servant. he led 20
the conclusion that somebody had been bittep by
one OF these snakes, and asked his friend if thi.
we're not the case. Eyes" was the reply. "How
horrible" answered the guest; ''did it not kill
him?" Kill him. no." answered the planter /;
