The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1877-01-17

Five hundred dollars and mileage, for
twenty three working days is pretty fair
pay these hard times, even for legstor.-
Times.
If the RAIDS of the last Legislature, who
fixed the rate of pay for the present, were
enjoying the compensation, they would
doubtless think it very moderate. As
but comparatively few of the Times sort
have to foot the bills, we think that they
might amiably endure their share of the
results of what the present Legislature
can accomplish in a long session, ard
what it can also accomplish in a short
session. In getting rid of Ames, and
reducing taxes, they certainly deserve
not only ''fair pay" but the gratitude of
the entire people.

Captain Hayes, i sea-dog OF pratt
cal turn, who has during the last few
years been cruising about in the South
Seas, seeking whom he might devour,
left San Francisco about six weeks ago
on the schooner Lotus with about $5,-
600, in cargo and money: He came
here from Manila In April or May last,
where he had been imprisoned for
nine months in consequence of various
marine robbing adventures in which he
had engaged, having been shipped as
disabled seamen by the American Con-
sui. 1t is thought that he has gone to
Samoa, where, it Is predicted, he will
soon make himself felt In some way.
Captain Hayes is q veritable pirate,
having carried on his nefarious business
in Chinese waters, as we'll as in the
South Seas, and he il spoken Of as
very desperate and daring man, who
may again be at some Of his old tricks.
One of his favorite "games" was to
run among the different islands in the
South Seas and get the natives to come
on board his vessel under the pretense
Of wanting to trade with them. He
would thenset sail and carry his kid
mapped passengers to some remote
island where so-called labor trade was
still carried on, collecting the usua
passage money and q very unusual
bonus. Another of his pastimes was to
go to some island and order the natives
to supply him with whatever he want
ed, under threats of Smelling their vii
Lagos if not promptly obeyed. There
is hardly crime which the fellow has
not committed, and certainly none
which he is not capable of committing.
Captain Hayes is described as rather
prepossessing in appearance, tall, stout
and gentlemanly-looking, q little over
fifty years of age, with white hair and
beard, and frank and open counte-
nance, the very opposite of the sea
rover as generally portrayed in ma
rine melodrama on the stage.-San
Francisco Chronicle. ....

CHAPTER III.
MRS. ARDoRY's sEss1B111r1Es.


/ find that the last chapter must be
given to the sensibilities of Mrs. Ar
do-yy. -, s.. y, 81 - -- = :
It was Christmas Day. Even on this
blessed day, that tender hearted lady
could not lay aside her sensibilities and
enjoy herself. For. Just think. will
you, how many poor there are How
could q tender hearted woman enjoy a
feast when so many were hungry2 It
was not in the good womab's heart, /
am sure, to be for u minute obliyious to
the sorrows OF the poor.
She had also another ahiexty. The
dinner hour was approaching, and she
was to have several friends. Among
others, the rector and his wife were to
dine with Mrs. Ardory on this day. All
the company, the rector's wife included,
were there-the rector only being alb,
sent, he having called to see sick per
sou on his way. He would come
presently. Mrs. Ardory was just ex-
planning to the clergyman's wife how
awful thing parochial duty must be;
she never could stand the tax on
her sensibilities if she we're clergy
mar. But what Mrs. Ardory was think
ing about while she was saying this was
something very different indeed. She
was thinking that her father-in-law had
been out all night on Christmas spree,
and that he might CONC in at any mo-
ment and shock her sensibilitie, by his
diseraceful appearance. BEt, to her
surprise, the old man came home sober;

Pocket Editions Of Humanity.

Much has been said in the journals of
the day of late in regard to human
mites; but the tiniest specimen yet
heard of was discovered in Waterford:
on Wednesday last. On tearing down
an old barn glass jar was discovered
by the workmen among the rubbish
and dirt behind the lining of the build
ing. The jar was covered with paper,
which on being touched crumbled to
pieces. Taking the jar into the light it
was found to contain the body OF Child
preserved in alcohol. The body was
we'll developed and proportioned, but
was SO small that it was long before
they could believe it to be the body Of a
a human infant. Such is the fact,
however. The body was between four
and FIVE inches in length, and could
have weighed when in life scarce more
than half a pound. Whether the body
had been preserved from scientific or
other motives is q matter OF pure con-
lecture. The barn is an old one, and
the jar and contents, it is evident, had
been deposited in its hiding place many
years ago.-7foy Press.

Fatal Fight Between Two Rams.

A fight of a rather novel character
took place in field near Upper SALIVA,
England, on the 18th of last month.
Two rams had been turned into field
to Craze with some sheep, one the prop
erty OF Mr.. John Howell, surgeon, and
the other the property of Mr.. Henry
John, shoemaker. The doctors ram
was flirting with a good-looking sheep,
when the other went up and interfered.
The interruption brought about some
bad temper, and the two rams ultimate
ly fought very savagely. The doctors
ram, being the stronger animal, soon
vanquished the other, and at the end of
the fight dealt his adversary such a
stunning blow on tue side of the head
that he in q few minutes expired. The
dead animal was Immediately bled and
converted into mutton.

The Chicago Ledger is said to have
spent $4,000 in advertising the past
two years, and, by the looks of the
newspapers throughout the United
States, We should says it would take as
much to go round this year. And to
cap the climax the proprietors have an
nounced their paper at $l00 year.
How it is done is mystery, unless they
have more than ga barrel of money"
to give away. We believe, however,
it is the theory Of the publishers that
all they ask of the reader is to pay for
the white paper and postage; for their
labor, when paper reaches 100000
or more circulation, their advertising
will pay the profit. While they are
building up the paper they do not
solicit advertising, and hence the
readers get great paper for $1.O0 that
is worth $500. AS the publishers have
the money, no doubt they will succeed.

An Army of Water Rats,

DR.. Van Der Hork, the German
traveller to the Arctic circle, says: On
one occasion we had a curious adven.
ture. While crossing lacustrine part
of the river called Kjoalmejuare, IN
the early part of the night we were
suddenly surrounded by swarms of
lemming (Myodes torquatus), an ami
NAL like the mountain rat. They
swan around the boat and attempted to
Chamber into it, SO that it was with the
greatest difficulty we could keep the
fierce little creatures from boarding US
by beating about with the oars, at
which they would set up sharp, shrill
screams similar to those of the musk
rat. After some time we succeeded in
passing them. These little animals
come unexpectedly down from the
mountains-no one knowing exactly
whence and appear in millions,
swarmipg over the whole country, eat
ing up almost everything that comes in
their way. Neither river nor lake
seem to deter them, both of which
they swim with ease, usually keeping
in their destructive path until reaching
the open sea, which they vainly en-
deavor to cross. never swerving from
the direction once taken until they
sink exhausted beneath the waves.
Thus perish countless numbers. They
commit great ravages, and are as dread
ed in the North as the locusts are in
Egypt. Years, however, elapse between
their reappearanc, or until they sud-
denly descend from their rocky retreats.
The Lapps tells us that they rain from
the sky, many of them stating that
they have actually seem them fall.

A Curious Calculation.

A rapid penman can write thirty
words in minute. Tc Dc this he must
draw his quill through the space of a
rod-sixteen feet and half. In forty
minutes his pen travels q furlong; and
in FIVE hours and third, a. mile. We
make, on an average, sixteen curves or
turns Of the pen in writing each word.
Writing thirty words il a minute, we
must make four hundred and eighty
eight to each second; in al hour. TWEEN
ty-eight thousand eight hundred; in q
day Of only five hours, one hundred
ard forty-four thousand; and in year
of three hundred days, forty.three mil
lions two hundred thousand. The man
who made q million strokes with pen
in month was not at all remarkable.
Many men make four million. Here
we have, in the aggregate. mark
three hundred miles long, to be traced
on paper by each writer in q year. In
making each letter of the ordinary al.
phabet, we must make from three to
seven strokes Of the pen-on an aver
