Fearfully and wonderfully made is the
obituary notice of Admiral Semmes which
appears in the Mobile Register. GAS the
slow, rising tide of the moonlit waters of
the bay was yestermorn moanfully beating
her sandy shores, life was fast ebbing out,
whose glorious career had been spent on
that liquid plain which encircles the globe,
zone as the sea, distinct as the billows.'
Within the sound of those plaintive waves
in which he had once sought the refuge of
death, sooner than submit to the disgrace
of surrender-the noble, the grand Raphael
Semmes was breathing the last expiring
throb of his great SOUL" This is undoubt-
edly rhetorical and more or less beautiful,
but scarcely true. The Admiral jumped
into the water because his vessel was sink
ing, and he did not care to 60 down with
her. The Alabamd sank about twenty
minutes after the white flag was displayed.
The yacht owned by Summes's English
friend, Lancaster, was within two hundred
yards of the wreck, and the Admiral was
among the first to be rescued. His friends
yacht, rather than death, was the "refuge'
which he sought, "sooner than surrender y
Enthusiasm over this Southern sailors ex
ploits was to be expected, but who would
have imagined that twelve years after the
close of the war, Southern editor could SC
far forget himself as to denounce Abraham
Lincoln as "a bloody butfoon"?

The GREAT BRIDGE--The vast net work
of wires and cables that are to enter into
the construction Of the suspension bridge
between New York and Brooklyn are being
slowly spun, with spider-like patience, at
the iron works in Pittsburg and Brooklyn,
and it is believed that 1880 will be reached
before all the material will be ready for the
builder and the bridge up. The work of
laying two of the cables is now in progress.
There are four of these supporting cables,
consisting of 10 strands, with $50 wires to
the strand, and weighing 500 tons apiece.
The cables are l53 inches in diameter, and
their supporting power is calculated to be
altogether 44,S00 tons. Other interesting
statistics concerning the bridge are, that its
total length, including land approaches, i:
$3.50 feet; the river span being 1896 feet
it is S5 feet wide; the towers rise 277 feet
above the water level, while the center o.
the river span is 135 feet above the water
level, and the estimated cost is Sl2 100000
$9,000,000 for the bridge itself, and $780,,
900 for land damages.

WILL He SUCCEED Pin nine cases out of
ten, mans life will not be a success if he
does not bear burdens in his childhood. If
the fondness or the vanity of father or
mother have kept him from hard work, if
another always helped him out at the end
of his row-in short, if he has been per-
mitted to shirk, until shirking has become
a habit unless miracle has been wrought,
his life will be failure, and the blame will
not be half so much his as that Of his weak
and foolish parents. On the other hand, if
a boy has been brought to do his part,
never allowed to shirk any legitimate re-
sponsibility, or to dodge work, whether or
not it made his head ache, or soiled his
hands, until bearing burdens has become a
matter of pride, parents as they bid him
goodbye may dismiss their fear. The
elements of success are his, and at some
time, and in some way the world will recog
nize his capacity.

Seth Davis, now ninety years old, who
"heard lessons and welded the ferule," in
Boston, many years ago, was given a recep-
ton in that city ON Monday afternoon by
some of his former pupils. One of the
latter, Prof. Hagar, gave some personal re-
miniscenses of his school life, and related
the following anecdote of certain Alex
ander A. Rice, who was his chum during
most of his time at Mr.. Davis school: CAT
one period the two boys had great idea cf
snaring rabbits in piece of woods behind
Mr.. Davis house. So they set a lot of traps
and day after day made the rounds to
gather the rabbits which persistently re-
fused to be shared. One day, however, as
they were approaching trap they saw that
it was sprung, and that an animal was
hanging in it apparently dead. Young
Rice rushed forware, shouting, We've got
white one,' but when they reached the
snare they found to their horror that in
stead of rabbit it was the schoolmaster's
favorite cat they had strangled. The cat
being dead they gave it decent burial and
returned to school. On their way out of
the wood Mr.. Davis met them and accused
them of having been down there to steal
grapes, and so not daring to tell the true
reason, they had to be satisfied with simply
denying the grape theft, thus leaving the
master to believe that they were lying to
him.

DRIED BEEF.-The incest way | ever saw
dried beef served is as follows: Heat milk
and water (about one-half of each), and
thicken with a beaten egg and little
flour; when nicely boiled add the beef,
which of course should be sliced as thin as
possible, and Immediately removed from
the fire, as the less it is cooked the better ;
if the beef is very salty it will need freshen-
ing little in hot water before going into
gravy, but if not, it will season it just right
without freshening.

SICK HoRsEs.-At this season of the year
horses that are pastured are unusally
liable to disease. This comes from two
causes; the first of which is thinness of
blood and debility from two steady and ex-
elusive feeding on grain, without a supply
of good grass and the second is from
being poisoned, either by spider webs on
pastures. Avoid both causes by keeping
them out of the pastures, and feeding them
on grain and good cured hay or fodder.
Do this at once and save your horses.
Smyrna times., 1877-09-12

ABOUT BABIEs.-Different countries have
different methods of dealing with their
young. The Greenland baby is dressed in
furs and carried in a sort of pocket in the
back of the mothers cloak. When she is
very busy and does not want to be bothered
with him, she digs hole in the snow and
covers him all up, but his face, and leaves
him there until she is ready to take care of
him again. The Hindoo baby hangs in a
basket from the roof, and is taught to
smoke long before he learns to walk.
Among the Western Indians, the poor
little tots are tied fast to board, and have
their heads fattened by means of another
board fastened down over their foreheads.
In Lima, the little fellow lies all day in a
hammock swung from tree-top, like the
baby in the nursery song. In Persia he is
dressed in the most costly silks and jewels,
and his head is never uncovered, day or
night; while in Yucatan, pair of sandals
and straw hat are thought to be all the
clothing he needs, and in America they
fix the baby in nice little carriage and
knock the underpinning from below the
harmless pedestrian as the mother calmly
propels the vehicle and gazes in the shor
windows at the spring bonnets.

BOILING VEGETABLEs.-In boiling beef
and vegetables, put tea cup of vinegar
into the pot when the water is cold, and
the beef will be much tenderer, and cab
bage and beets better favored and will not
fill the house with unpleasant smell. The
vinegar will not affect the taste of the
food
