She was as rapid with tongue and foot as

taller than an expectation, and Simmer

down like legislative enactment. She

like retribution. She was racer anx-

beauteous as alabaster, such an one as
sculptors love to model, poets sing of,
and young men go crazy over. Her
classic brow betokened thought-deep,
pure and aesthetic. In his beefy right

The Mysterious Island.

Capt. Hall, of the bark Coloma, in
port from Bakers Island after n voyage
of thirty three days, reports that the
buoys at the island sunk on June A, and
had not been seen since. After being
Capt. Hall concluded to come to this
port. de also reports a strong current
setting to eastward, where it formerly
set westward. Bakers Island has been
visited with heavy rains, and the island
has been completely flooded. The once
barren island is now covered with vege-
tation. Some. pumpkin seed that were
scattered in different parts of the island
had taken root and grown to large vines,
bearing pumpkins. Other parts of the
island were covered with grass, and in
some places the shrubbery had grown to
the height of three or four feet. Hereto
fore the water on the island was only OBJ
tanned by condensing, but now there is
an abundance of it on the island. The
island is almost alive with rats, who wers
very much surprised at the appearance
of vegetation, but it did not take them
long to get acquainted with the pump
kins, and they, at last accounts, were en-
joying them as food. The bark w. A..
Holcomb arrived at the island some time
since, got lighter alongside and was
obliged to leave. This lighter was towed
by the bark for thirty-fve days around,
but out of sight of, the island. Finally
she made the island, landed the lighter
and native laborers, and sailed for Homo
lulu, where she has since arrived. San

But Mrs Simpson, the portly and prac-

fitness of things.
1t was the day before Thanksgiving,
and the farmer who had agreed to supply

had not weighed it, and, of course, they
could not agree on its weight, all of
which ended in the startling proposition
with which we began.

formed for weighing the turkey at home.
Jet by wire loop, and slid it along in
the loop until 1t balanced. By this time
all were curious to see what was about.
then fixed wire to the turkeys feet
and hooked it so that it would slide on
the broom-handle. Next got fat-iron
and fixed it in the same way. When the
broom was nicely balanced, hung the
turkey on the broom end of the stick, two
inches from the balancing loop. Then
l hung the flat.iron on the other side,
and showed it along until it balanced the
turkey. Next l measured the distances
of the turkey and fat-iron from the bal.

hung two inches and the flatiron eight
