sVssss Against Steam.

Yesterday thsre was a race from Dover to
London between the continental mail ex-
press train and a carrier pigeon conveying
document of an urgent nature from the
French police. The pigeon, which was
bred by Messrs. Hartley s. Sons, of Wool
wfda, and "homed y when few weeks old
to a issHAding in Cannon street, city, was Of
the best hsead of homing pigeons known as
the " Belgian ReE2geurs. The bird was
tossed through AhsEssiwas carriage window
by French o6Gialas taeSrain moved from
the Admiralty Pier, the wipe being West
and the atmosphere hazys but RiEa ssshe sun
shining. For upwards of . minute tho saxr
rier pigeon circled round to 90 altitude of
about half q mile, and then sailed away to-
wards London. By this time the train,
which carried the European mails, and was
rsssfped not to stop between Dover and Can
Ron street, had got up to full speed, and
was praceeding at the rate Of 60 miles an
hour towards London. The odds ct start
ing seemed against the bird. and the rail-
way officials predicted that the little mes
senger would be beaten i'm the race. b The
pigeon, however. as soon as it ascertaaned
it bearings, took the nearest homewasd
route in direction midway between Maid
stone and Sittingbourne, the distance "as
the crow flies !" between Dover and London
being 10 miles, and by rail 761 miles.
When the Continental mail express came
into Cannon street station the bird had
been home 30 minutes, having beaten her
Majesty's royal mail by time allowance
representing eighteen miles. - London

Getting the Best Of Him.

The New Bedford Mercury relates that,
not long since gentleman travelling by rail
from a neighboring city TO Boston, pur-
chased glass Of soda at refreshment
stand in way station and gave the attend
ant quarter. The latter apparently pur-
posely delayed making change, and his GUS
toner was obliged to hurry on board the
train with feeling of having been cheated
and consequently & out" Is cents. At the
next stopping place he rushed to the win
dow Of the telegraph Office and dictated o
message to be sent to the sodawater man,
and paid for by the recipient. It was as
follows: "Do you sell foam at 25 cents a
glass ?" At every station where there was
chance he repeated this message. Upon
reaching Boston, having thus revenged
himself five times. he glided out of the de-
pot and off about his business, with quiet
smile of satisfaction irradiating his placid
features that was refreshing to look upon.
As for the sodawater man that night after
shutting up he drew up little balance
sheet on the fly leafof his diary as follows :
'' Expenses of telegraphy, $t.25; extra
profit ON soda, Is; out, $l.10. Patrons Of

i Sleepy City in the Midst Of War.

Batourn in it's quiet bay is scarcely even
now to be looked at as place which is be-
leagnered 10y an enemy. Undisturbed by
even the sound of artillery, except now and
then when the very heaviest Of the guns
roar aud wake the echoes, the place seems
to sleep out it's existence far away from the
scenes of bloodshed and tunRult. In the
ofing lies two or three ships of war, some
times none at all; there are net Aaore than
aeouple of hundred gunners here; We can
not be said to be in state Of siege, fos it
has never been proclaimed Save fsr tie
fact that every now and again troops eoHae
up in ships, and are landed and passed
through the town, we should not be able
to suppose for moment that we were the
objective point of perhaps the whole Rus
sian attack in Asia. Orderlies, gallopers,
aides -de-camp clatter occasionally through
the badly paved streets; the dogs, which
lie all over the roads, lazily rouse them
selves, and then, turning over, go to sleep
again; the Inhabitants cease for a moment
to smoke their narghillehs, and begin for
short while to clatter over the possible rea-
son of the gallopers' advent; and then all
is quiet once more. We should see more
guns, more alarm, were we in Constantine
pie, than here In the very heart of the
struggle. Then you have men being drill
ed on the Grand Champ, as L know by
painful experience, day by day. On Fri
days, when his imperial majesty goes to
pray, great masses of troops line the streets.
This Bosphorus village delights in IRON

never see any more of the terrors of war
than we see now. The shows are open,
and the inhabitabts trade lazily, as has ever
been their won't. Slowly the peasants drive
their teams of bullocks through the
streets. Rolling along, the people pass
from one house to another exactly as they
did hundred years ago, and exactly as
they will a hundred years hence. And
it in most likely that whether Batoum is
taken or Batoum is saved, she will continue
to be as peacefully gloomy as at this very
moment. In, fact, if any one came to Ba-

A recent traveller in Mexico, who visited
the mines during his journeys, Gays he was
much astonished at seeing the me0 who
carry the ore come out of the mine each
with one eye shut. The foreman seeing any
susprise, explained the matter. He said
the candles belonging to the sarGtsros (who
drill and blast) do not give sufficient light
in the drifts, where it is consequently
quite dark, but where, nevertheless, the
tarateros see well enough not to run their
heads against the rocks. But, on emerging
into daylight, they would be blinded il
they did not take precautionary measures.
For this reason, as they approach the
mouth of the shaft, at the point where
they catch the first glimpse Of daylight,
they drop the eyelid of one eye. and keep
this down while discharging their ore, and
until they have re descended the shaft.
When, they are again in the dark they open
the eye kept hitherto. in reserve, and at
once they see everything distinctly while
the ether eye, previously open and blinded
somewhat by thesdaylight. perceives moth
ing at all. @ asa ssa ssI
