A GIRLS PICNIC.

WATERFOWL On. W Despatch: The
girls got up a hen picnic last week, and
had a glorious time of it altogether.
They had lots of tea and sugar and milk
(Which all got sour, but no matches,
and plenty of pickles, spongecake and
butter but no bread. Add to this each
of the girls got her mother to let her
bring roast turkey, SO as to astonish
the rest of the girls and show that she
could do things in style, and that they
had no knives and forks, and though lots
of plates, no drinking utensils, it is not
difficult to see that their commissariat
was well organized and source of much
harmony, pleasure and satisfaction to all
concerned in its preparation. After sew
eral lifelong quarrels and such comments
as 81 don't care !" You're just as mean
as dirt % ssWell, it wasn't my fault,
anyway they made frugal repast of
dismembered turkey, cold water, pickles
and spongecake, and then decided to
amuse themselves as best they could for
the remainder of the day. One girl I'M
dertook TO fish, and, having put on her
gloves, introduced q hook to her worm,
but the fierce animal gave squirm, and
with terrific yell she dropped the wild
beast right down the back of friend
and young companion dear, who was sit
ting beneath. The f. and y. C. d. went
into active Mysteries, and the author of
the tragedy impaired her thumb on the
fish hook, and tainted at the sight of
blood. After this one of the girls step
ped into swamp about half way up to
her ears, and another got beetle into
her ear, and third unearthed horrid
snake inches long, and while devoted
member of the excursion Yves STOPPING
down to collect a specimen of that rare
and valuable plant, the sorrel, Mr..
Keoghs merino ram stole upon her and
butted her over a rallied fence, IL
retrievably running 81 thing to make
her dress puff ont behind. Then they
went home to find out what was good
for sunburns.

JOHN CALENDER AT THE BATTLE
OF LONG ISLAND.

Out of the many instances of individ-
ual Bravery which must have signalized
this fearful struggle, few have been pre-
served but one, that has been, lights
up the melancholy darkness of the scene
with peculiar brightness. At the bat
tie of Bunker Hill, John CallendeI, a
Captain of artillery had withdrawn flom
the battle, and had disobeyed Putnam's
orders to return. The battle over, Put
nam declared that if Calender was not
cashiered or shot, he would himself
leave the service. A courl-martial con-
victed him of cowardice, and dismissed
him ''from all further service in the Con-
tinental army as an officer" Coward or
not, he was brave enough to step down
into the ranks of the company he had
commanded. The 9th of August found
him on the heights overlooking Flatbush.
His Captain and Lieutenant had fallen,
his companions were beginning to re-
treat. Springing in front of them he
ordered them to return and man their
pieces. For time his courage nonrish
ed theirs but at length he stood alone.
charging a field piece, while his COM
ratles were swept away by tremendous
onset of the enemy. Counting death, he
made no signal of surrender when the
hostile bayonets were at his breast but
brave officer interfered in his behalf,
and he was made prisoner. Washing
ton, hearing of his conduct, ordered the
sentence against him to be erased and
his command to be restored to him and
when, year later, he was exchanged,
he gave him his hand before the Army,
in token of his greatrespect and admira-
ton. He left the service at the end of
the war with an enviable reputation

THE miraculous draught of fishes in
the Columbia River has practically re-
within the last eight years a canning in
dustry has sprung up on its banks, which
last year cured and canned 10000, 0OO
pounds for expectation. The London
Times has estimated that the total catch
of Great Britain and Ireland for 1876
was 100000 pounds. According to
that calculation, the produce of one
Oregon river was more than four times
the catch Of the whole United Kingdom.

A MYSTERY of PEREUME.-No one has
yet been able to analyze or demonstrate
the essential action of perfume. Gas
can be weighed but not scent. The
smallest known creatures very
monads of life-can be caught by mic
roscope lens and made to deliver up the
secrets of their organization, but what
it is that emanates from the pouch of the
musk deer that fills whole space for
years with its penetrating odor-an odor
that an illimitable number of extraneous
substances can carry on without dimin-
ishing its size and weight-and what it
is that the warm summer air brings to us
from the flowers, no man has yet been
able to determine. So fine, so subtle,
so imponderable, it has eluded both our
most delicate weights and measures and
our strongest senses. If we come to the
essence of each odor we should have
made an enormous stride forward, both
in hygiene and in chemistry and none
would profit more than the medical pro-
fession if it could be as conclusiyely dem
onstrated that such an odor proceeded
from such and such cause, as we al
ready know of sulphur, sulphnrate, n.y.
drogen ammonia, and the like.

''No he didn't, replied the lady. 81
am your friend Bob Hall, the cabin
boy"
To say Mike was astonished would
feebly describe his feelings. He
danced around the room and fairly
shouted:
well, by all the big and little fishes,
but that's so. So, Bob you're woman,
and thought you drowned.
Mrs Curren and her husband laughed
until the tears rolled down their cheeks.
Crawford first shook hands with the
lady and then with her husband.
"Well, bless me-" said Mike, ''but [
must have been fool, Bob; not to have
known you"
Mrs. Curren brought her two chill
dren from the other room, and present
ed them to Mike, saying:
eyes, Bob Hall is the mother of these
two children
Mike and his companion remained
for hours at the Currens' residence.
Mrs. Curren related to Mike how, when
she was rescued, she deserted and came
home. She also made Mike relate to
her what he had done since they were
ship-mates ON the Cumberland. Mrs.
Curren is now n woman in the prime of
life. In appearance she is somewhat
masculine. Her hair she keeps rather
closely cut for woman, and were she
to day to dress up in male attire she
| would pass for one of the opposite sex.
When the war broke out she bad some
tronble with her parents, and left the
PARENTAL roof. Failing to find employ
ment and being compelled to live on the
charity of others, the girl obtained boy S
clothes and enlisted in the navy as cabin
boy. Her sex was never discovered.
While aboard ship the girl was up to
every trick, and are many men living
in the Fifth Ward to-day who can tell
of the FRANKS played upon them by Bob
Hall of the sloop-of-war Cumberland.

A GAME OF SPIT. Many years ago, J"
said Gen. Eli Fl. Murray to a Louisville
Ledger reporter, "Judge Sites had a
Circuit Court down in Southern Ken
lucky. Once n little country tavern was
full to oYerflowing, SO that four OF five
persons had to occupy the same room.
The Judge and four or five of the big
lawyers INDUCED in draw poker until a
late hour. Then they went to bed, and
left the candle burning. The fire had
gone out, the weather was cold, the floor
not clean, and none of them liked to get
out of his warm place to blow out the
candle. After fruitless efforts to induce
some one to get up, the Judge proposed
that they should put it out by splitting
at it. Il can beat you, said one. Mon
ey says you can't, answered the Judge.
The cold weather and the dirty floor
were forgotten, as the rivals sprang from
their warm places. Money was put up,
a mark made, and the contest was so ex-
citing that the others were soon drawn
out, and there, in the chill, freless,
dreariness of the best room of country
tavern, the Judge and four or five of the
brightest lights of the circuit stood up
in their shirts and spit at mark for SIS
apiece"

A MANUFACTURED NoSE.-One of tho
greatest achievements in surgical science
which we have heard of for some time
was the manufacture of good, we'll
shaped nose ON the face of female pa
tient at the Surgical Institute, in this
city, few weeks ago. The young lady 5
nose had been eaten off by disease, and
she was sent to the institute to have it
replaced by new one, which delicate
and skillful piece of workmanship could
only be performed where surgical science
had attained something like perfection.
