A learned Scotchman living in Los
Angeles CAL, informs us that there is a
chimney running through the earth from
the North to the South Pole. In this wa
ter pours at the open polar sea, and is con-
veyed through the central fire and out at
the South Pole, where it divides into two
streams, one rushing up the Atlantic and
the other up the Pacific Ocean. BY this
arrangement the central fires are kept with
in limits by the cooling waters. It's good
thing to know all about these matters, SO
that when the earth bursts her boiler well
know how it came about.
"A letter from Norwich, Conn, to the
Hartford Times contains the following story
as told by George w. Fuller submarine
driver, who is now in the former city :
"While performing some work for Uncle
Sam in one of the Southern ports, where
it was customary for those who supplied
the market with early garden-truck to load
their boats and row them around to the
wharf, it happened that one day burly
negro loaded his boat with watermelons,
and had just reached the dock where the
usual number Of loungers stood watching
the operations of the diver. The negro,
all unconscious of his situation, was zeal
ously endeavoring to dispose of his cargo,
when Fuller suddenly emerged, helms first

the coachman, about bringing the cream
for breakfast, the gentleman one morning
called them before him, that he might
hear what they had to say, and decide ac-
cordingly. The maid pleaded that the
coachman was lounging about the kitchen
the greater part of the morning, and yet
was so ill-natured that lie would not bring
the cream for her, Notwithstanding he saw
she had so much TO do as not to have
moment to spare. The coachman alleged
that it was not his business.
"Very we'll, said the master "but pray
what do you call your business 2"
"To take care of the horses, and clean
and drive the COACH" replied he.
"You say right" answered the master,
land do not expect you to do more than
I hired you for; but this insist on, that
every morning, before breakfast, you get
the coach ready, and drive the maid to the
farmers for milk; and hope you will al
low that to be a part OF your business"
The coachman and the maid very soon
after that came to terms.
