HUGE PLAYFELLows.-Not even the
huge unwieldy whales are exempt from
the sense o! humor as displayed by play
fulness. In Bennett's +" Whaling Voy-
age" there is short and graphic descrip-
ton of this trait OF character in the sper-
maceti whale, or cachaot, as it is often
called:
"a large party of caehalots gambol-
ing on the surface Of the ocean is one Of
the most curious and imposing spectacIes
which a whaling voyage affords the
hIge size and uncouth agility ofthe mon
sters exhibiting a strange combination of
the grand and ridiculous.
son such occasions it is not unusual t.
O. ser whale Of the largest size leap
from the water with the activity of sa =
mon, display the entire bulk Of his gigtn-
tic frame suspended at The height Of sew
era feet in the air, aad again plunge into
sc with a help!essaess and tremendo'
fall, which causes the surrounding wa
ters to shoot up in broad and lofty vol
umcs capped with foam.
"Others of the same school leap or
'lr ach' in les degree, spo liv l. b an
dish their broad and fan shaped lukes in
., he .tili, or prot ude their eads perpendic
alarS above the waves like columns Of
black rock"
Captain Scott, Il. N, once told me, as
an e ample Of the height to which cac-
hplQt will leap in these gaml OILS, tLat
whom standing on the deck of man Of
war, he has seen the horizon under the
animal before it fell again into the water.
When we rccolect that these whales often
reach eighty feet in length, We may APP
preciate the force which IS exerted in pro-
jectng this huge mass to such a height.

WhY Men Snake.

No habit adopted by a whole. race of
men--indeed by all races of men-but
must have a rdiSon d'etre. The dhudeen
of the irishmen, the chibouk of the AS
iatic, tho calumet of the Indian, the cigar
of the white American, would not exist
simultaneously on every part of the
globe, if in the use of tobacco there did
not siumber some spell of great potency
over men. The lazy man it seems to
make lazier; the nervous man it makes
more nervous; the brain worker it in
spires, and on the artist it betsows
visions of beauty. All lecturing against
it have proved vain. The habit spreads
with population over Australia and
Polynesia, and in couple of centuries
from now smoking will be as universal
as eating.
1t behooves US, thon, to see that some
thing is done 10 insure the rehabilitation
of the better qualities of tobacco, which
seems deteriorating so fast. Manila is
ceasing,,to produce even decent chcroot,
tobacco culture is dying out there like
wine culture in Madeira. One thing is
certain, that tho substitution of the
cigarette for the cigar is exceedingly
dangerous.

Imprisoned I'm q Mine.

In the colliery districts of Pendlebury
and Clifton, on July Leland 23,an ex-
iraordinary accident happened at the
Clifton Hall Colliery. -Four hundred
and twenty men and boys were en-
ployed in the underground works of the
pit, which is one of the deepest in the
district. The causo of the accident was
the collision of two cages meeting mid
way down the shaft, which cut off all
communication with the head workings,
and $50 men and boys were in conse-
quence imprisoned for nearly forty
hours. Men were set to work to clear
the shaft, and eventually one of them
fell into the dip hole at the bottom OF
the pit. liz was not until 9 o'clock, how
ever, on Saturday morning that commu-
nication with the men below could be
opened. The waiting was very exciting.
Men were kept in very fair order by two
experienced underlookers who happen
cd TO be below at the time of the acci-
don't. They were quite unaware Of the
nature of the block in the shaft Or of
the means which were being taken for
their rescue. But assurance of safety
was maintained by thc fact that the ven
tIation of the pit continued perfect.
As many of the men were slenderly
provided with food they became rave
nously hungry, and when in the course
of Saturday supplies of bread and cheese
were sent down into the mine scene
of an exciting description took place.
The food was served out TO tie men
from the cabin window, but in their ex-
element and Impotence the men broke
into the cabin and helped themselves.

United States Treasurer New SAYS he has
not resigned, although he desires to do so
on the first of April.
The Senate, in executive session Thursday,
confirmed the nomination of Joel d. Harvey
to be Collector of Internal Revenue for the
First District of Illinois, vice Webster, de-
ceased.
The Washington correspondent OF the

the keenest men ever put on the witness
stand, and from him alone the committee
are likely 10 learn nothing more. He does
not deny being a straw-bid manager, but
claims to be a victim of the system
Thousands of Republicans in this state

Il am tired of seeing Blame run the Dem
ocratic party in this House, cried out an
exasperated Democrat on the door, on
| Wednesday. He had moved IN adjourn
ment in despair of getting his party out OF
Mr.. 'Baine's hands, and had been voted
down He then rushed for his hat and went
home very mad. His ehagrin was not TO be
wondered at, for Blaine had been running
the House all the afternoon and driving the
Democrats hither and thither like a big
dog worrying so many sheep. The subject
tefore the House was the bill reported Tues
day, and passed By the House, forbidding
| political assessments on Government en-
ployes Mr.. Blaine wanted TO have the
prohibition extend to members of Congress
and Senators also. and on reconsideration,
got the floor and proceeded to 'run the
House" in his usual fashion. He first
made political speech, aiming with his
usual dexterity to draw out the Southern
members. He kept the debate going all the
afternoon on question upon which the
House was substantially unit Finally a
substitute bill was passed with an amend
mentso nearly like his own that be accepted
