AZ rule the whaling business as
prosecuted on the coast Of California
is not particularly profitable, but now
and then whalemen have streak II
luck which 10 very pleasant TO take.
Last week, for instance, according to
the San Mateo Times and Gazette,
the Pigeon Point Whaling Company
met with some Of the '1sulpbur-bot-
tom" OF "brazen-back" species Of the
largest known and seldom seen On
our coast. The whalers got into a
school Of the monsters and struck
several, killing three. One sank be-
fore line could be made fast and
was lost. OF the two secured one
measured 30 and the other 100 feet
and were good for at least two hun
drcd barrels Of oil, but, as they were
dead six or seven days before they
could be got into port, they lost about
one hundred barrels. which is quite a
rich strike for the company.

Singular Will Suit in Scotland.
A GREAT HEIREss IN LOVE WITH A WOMAN.

Some of the Scotch papers are giving
details of a very extraordinary will case
which willshortly be submitted for trial.
The story is this:
"The daughter Of a country practitioner
in little village in Scotland awoke one
morning to find herself a great heiress.
The traditional uncle, who had come from
India with fortune, had died, leaving a
beautiful estate and fully Sl,5OO,OOO in
money and West Indian property to his
niece, Miss Macpherson Grant. At that
time she was bright, clever, handsome, and
about q years Of age. She took possession
OF her property and lived in great style,
keeping large stud of horses and driving
tandem herself all over the country. Uey
father and mother she took under her
wing, and was devoted to them to the last
day of their lives. She established them
in an independent and elegant home near
Edlnburg, but had them great deal with
herself at the Aberlour House, on the
Speyside. Some fifteen years ago a young
lady came TO pay her visit. She was q
stranger to Miss Grant, and was brought by
some friends. 1t ended in this young lady
Miss Temple, leaving father and mother
with their entire concurrence, and living
with Miss Grant, for better or for worse
until death should them part in fact the,
formed such & friendship that they agreed
and entered into an on % rnn,a,,t +Io+ ,,o;+l ~
should marry and that they should pass thei
lives together. Miss Grant then and ther,
refused very good offer of marriage, anC
rejected all other suitors The condition
were that Miss Grant was to leave he
estates and everything to Miss Temple, i
Miss Temple on her part never left her anC
never married. \ will was makeby Ms
Grant, under which her property was t
pass to the Temples. Two years ago Mis-
| Temple married. Last Chritmas Mis-
Grant died. The will was revoked. Sh,
never forgave the detection, she nevo
made another will, and the estate goes t.
an obscure country doctor in Eberdeenshire
who hardly knew he was related to Mis-
Grant, and never saw her. Other fou
relations, poor trades-people in BanfIShire
come in for a share. Over this question O
succession there will be a terrible fight il
the law courts between the Temples an,
the heirs-at-law. Miss Grant was yer,
masculine in appearance and manly il
dress"

A Coon SUGGEsTCON.-What good thing
it would be if some neat dairy women
would undertake to serve fresh milk or
butter milk in the railway cars. People
drink quantities of ice water and are none
the better for it, but milk is food and re-
freshment both. 1t would be welcome
innovation in the place of the popcorn
boy, the prize candy and venerable fruit OF
youthful vendors to have a company
"limited" to pure milk service, for whose
grass-fed COWS and integrity of supply the
badge of the railroad company would be
voucher. For even the roads that "water"
their stock run through regions of honest
dealers and luxuriant farms, where there
is no occasion to water the milk.-Phila.

FAvORs.-lf you want to be happy, never
ask favor. Give as many as you can, and
if any are freely offered, it is not necessary
to be too proud to take them; but never
ask for or stand waiting for any. Who
ever asked favor at the right time? To
be refused is woful stab to ones pride.
1t is even worse to have favor granted
hesitatingly. We suppose out of hun.
dred who petition for the least thing-if il
be even an hour of time-ninety-nin wish
with burning cheeks and aching hearts
that they had not done So Don't ask
favors of your nearest friends. Do anything
for yourself, until you drop, and then il
any one picks you up, let it be because oi
his free choice, not from any groan you
utter. But while you can stand, be q
soldier. Eat your own crust rather thar
feast on others dainty; drink cold water
rather than another's wine. The world i:
full of people asking favors, and people
tired of granting them. Love or tender
ness should never be put aside, when it
full hands are stretched toward you; bu
so few love, so few are tender, that a favo,
asked is apt to be cruel milestone arount
your neck, even if you gain the thing yol
want by the asking As you cast you
bread on the water, and it returns
so will the favor you ask, if un
willingly granted, come back to you whel
you least expect or desire. Favors con
ceded on solicitation are never repaid
They are more costly in the end than an,
overdue usurer's bill.

PRESIDENT HAYES IN THE SoUTH.-The
New York Sun is at pains to publish the
information that during Mr. Hayess South.
ern tour the cities visited by him will have
to foot tho bills for his entertainment.
The 'S,o' has been at the trouble to ascer.
tain what the visit of Mr.. Hayes to Massa.
chusetts cost the treasury Of that State. 1t
says that " two individuals went from Bos.
ton to Washington to give him the formal
invitation, and for this labor they have
drawn $l7055. He had breakfast at
Lake Grove, which cost $4S2.13. lie was
entertained with a concert, for which the
State auditor has paid $4,000. Carriage
hire for him and his party ran up to $457.
One of the items paid on his account by
the Governor amounted to 5000. In jun
keting through the South Mr.. Hayes ought
to be reminded that times are hard and
that money is scarce in the treasures down
there"
1t don't follow, however, that the items
quoted by the SIN were necessary. Such a
figure of expenses may have been created
by seltirsh men for their personal enjoy.
ment and profit. In this case, as in many
similar instances at the North, a lot Of
local officers and bummers may have run
up some of these expenses for their own
benefit.

A quick witted negro preacher had
elaborated a new theory of the Exodus, to
wit: That the Red Sea got frozen over and
so afforded the Israelits safe passage; but
when Pharaoh attempted it with his heavy
iron chariots, he broke through and was
drowned. A brother rose and asked for an
explanation of that point. "I'se been
studyin' geography, and the geography say
dat be warm country-where dey have de
tropics. An de tropics too hot for freezin'
De pint to be splainod is, bout breakin.
through de ice." The preacher straight
ened up and said " Brudder, glad you
axed dat question. 1t gives me 'casion to
'splain it. You see dot was great while
ago-in de o'en times, TO dey had gogra-
phy-fo' dere was any tropics"
Smyrna times., 1877-08-15

PlTHY SAYINGs.-Be not hasty to cast of
every aspersion that is cast upon you. Let
them alone for while, and then, like mud
on clothes, they will rub off.
No charity should be extended to those
who are not as willing to do justice as they
are to receive it.
Most of our misfortunes are more sup.
portable than the comments of our friends
upon them.
A cheerful face is nearly as good for an
invalid as healthy weather.
Frowns blight young children as frosty
nights blight young plants.
Envy shooteth at others and woundeth
herself
Harvest never comes to such as sow not

WOMEN AS TELEGRAPHERs.-Th employ.
ment of women in the telegraph depart.
ment has been complete success in
England. Over l,l00 are employed in
London, and there has been but one dis.
missal in four years. Their hour of work
are from A. NJ. to s P. NJ, each being on
duty eight consecutive hours out of these
twelve. In the establishment there is a
kitchen and dining.rooms, and the girls
have a thoroughly good dinner for twenty
cents, The pay begins at 50 a week, which
is raised to So when a girl is competent.
Girls may enter from fourteen to eighteen.
The average pay received is $3.50 week,
and the highest is $3.50 week. A clerk
who has worked for thirty years at $3.50 a
week would have 1915 week pension.

A PENITENT.

Arrah Neelie, don't look like tunder cloud darlint
What harm if l did stale kiss from your lips?
No sinsible bee meets a smiling young rose, sure,
But stops the sly thafe, and honey drop sips.
And, rose of the wurruld, spake aisy now aintI
More sinsible than vagabond bee?
And how could see the swate kiss that was lying
There on your red lips, as though waiting for me,
And not take it, darlintt Och, Neelie, give DER!
Faith, I'm awfully sOrry-I didn't take more
Twas your fault intirely. Why did you smile at me
So great timpt0tion no man could resist,
For your laughing blue eyes, and your check wild
dinple,
And your dilicate mouth said, Were here to be
kissed"
And could I be draining they didn't spako truth,
dear?
Sure beautiful features like thin niver lie;
H;hey do, yOH should hide thim and not be dcsaving
Such an innocent, trusting fellow as I.
Are you frOwnipg STILL darlint? Och, Neelie, give

. Don't tell you I'm sorry-I didn't take more?

Extraordinary Trial of Speed.

The other day an exciting race took
place from Dover to London between the
Continental mail express train and
carrier-pigeon carrying a document of an
urgent nature for the French Police. The
rails, carriages, and engine of the express
train were, as might be expected, of the
best possible construction for power and
speed. The pigeon which was bred by
Messrs. Hartley & Sons, of Woolwich, and
"homed" when few weeks old to build
breed of homing pigeons, known as Bel
gian voyageurs." The bird was tossed
through the railway carriage window by a
French official as the train moved from the
Admiralty Pier, the wind being west and
the atmosphere hazy, but with the sun
shining. For upward of a minute the car
rier-pigeon circled round to an altitude of
about half a mile, and then sailed away
toward London. BY this time the train,
which carried the European mails, and
was timed not to stop between Dover and
Cannon street, had got up to full speed and
was journing at the rate of GO miles an
hour toward London. The odds at start.
ing seemed against the bird, and the rail
way officials, justly proud and confident in
the strength of their iron horse, predicted
the little aerial messenger would fail; but
the race was not to the strong. The car
rier-pigeon, as soon as it ascertained its
bearings, took the nearest route in a direc-
ton midway between Maidstone and Sit
tingbourne, the distance, as the crow flies,
between Dover and London being 20 miles,
and by rail, 761 miles. AS tho Continental
mail express came putting into Cannon
street station, the pigeon had been home
20 minutes, having beaten the train by a
time allowance representing IS miles

The details of the incremation of DIR.
Winslow's remains at Salt Lake, Utah, are
recited by correspondent of the Chicago
Times. When placed in the furnace at
6:2O P. NJ. the body weighed 126 pounds.
The first appearance was that of roasting
but in twenty minutes nearly all the flesh
was consumed, and the bones began to
crumble. A half hour later very little
could be seen of the form of the body. AT
