Nassau Darkeys Diving for Pennies

There is a nice little public square
which lies on the water side of Bay
street, and fronts the public buildings,
where are the court-houses, house of
assembly, bank, and other similar
places of resort. Whenever we would
gO-on pleasant morning, afternoon,
or evening to this square. to sit by
the stone bOat-stairs, or to stand on the
sea-wall and view the lovely water
with its changing hues of green, its
yachts, its ships, and all its busy smaller
craft, and sniff with delight the cool
salt breeze that blows so gayly over the
narrow back of Hog Island, there would
certainly come running to us two,
three, or dozen little black boys with
the entreaty: "Please, boss, give us a
small dive" If l happened to have
any change, and wished to see some
funny work in the water, l put my
hand in my pocket, and Instantly every
little black boy jerked off his shirt. 1t
is no trouble for the negro children to
undress in Nassau. The very little
ones wear emily a small shirt and a
straw hat. Sometimes there is not
much muslin in this shirt, but they are
always particular to have it come down
low enough to cover the breast-bone.
If find a penny, | toss it into the wa
ter, and instantly every darkey boy,
clad in nothing but his scanty trOwsers,
pluDges in after it. Sometimes spry
little fellow catches the coin before it
reaches the bottom, and it is never long
before some fellow comes up with the
money in his mouth. Sometimes when
IA coin is not readily found, it is curious
to look down through the clear water
and see the young rascals moving their
legs and arms about down at the bot
tom like lot of enormous brown frogs.

Remarks of an Indiana hotel
keeper: ''Steal Why, you would be
astonished to find how large proper
ton of the travelling public are Internal
thieves. They steal the bed-clothing,
pillows, boot.jacks, soap, soap-dishes-
everything, in fact, which they can
carry off. Every body steals soap. We
expect that, and don't kick. You'd be
surprised to hear that-(a noted In
diana pOlitician) makes a practice of
putting the soap into his valise every
time he pays his bill He don't seem to
use much of it himself, but | think he
takes it home to his children.
IL More watches are spoilt by irreg
ular and hasty winding up than by most
other causes. The operation should,
if possible, be performed regularly, and
always with steady and uniform
motion, not moving both hands, and
nearly as practicable at the same hour
daily. A watch should always be kept
at the same temperature left over

gain, or, if the oil gets thickened it
may stop, to be started again by the
warmth of the pocket.

DEATH OF HON. WIZ. TIscH.-The

DEATH OF Hon. WIZ. T1scH.-The
announcement of the death of Hon. VIM.
Tisch, of Mishicott, by suicide, on Sat
urday afternoon last was received in
this city on Sunday morning. Mr..
Tisch received a sun-stroke a year ago
this past summer, and ever since has
showed unmistakable evidence of insan-
ity. On Saturday he took shot gun
and going into the woods near his resi-
dence he placed the muzzle to his right
side and fred, the charge going upward
and coming out back of the left shoulder.
1t seems his intention was suspected,
and shortly after his departure from his
house he was followed. When the fatal
shot was fred, friends were within a
few yards of him. He lived two hours
after. Mr.. Tisch was well known and
highly respected gentleman, and had
resided in Mishicott for many years.
Two years ago he represented this dis
trict in the Assembly, and made faith
full, conscientious representative. He
was Al years of age and leaves wife
and seven children to mourn his IN
timely death. He was in easy circum-
stances aud his family is therefore well

THE BETTERMENT IN BUSINESS.

There can be no question that since
the first of September business men in
all sections of the country not only feel
more hopeful of the future. but are ac-
tually doing better. All wealth must
come from the soil and this year the
United States has in every section been
blessed with harvest more bountiful
than is recorded in its annals. Not only
the quantity which we have raised which
man consumes is unprecedented, but the
quality is unusually good, and it for
tunately happens that other nations are
SO much in need of cur products that
they will have to pay fair price for
them. This bountiful harvest, both at
the North and the South, the East and
the West, is the Bank of treasurer upon
which we are all drawing, and can draw
with safety. It is not Bank of delu-
sion, but of reality; not a mere paper
currency issued ad li6itun, to cover up
deficiencies, but the actuality of solid
wealth in the form of boarded labor re-
turned to us an hundred fold by the
benlgnant smiles of kind Providence.
This harvest is exerting a prodigious
effect in New York, the business centre
of the nation. There is life, animation
and hope where few months since there
was deafness, torpor and hopeless des-
pondency which paralyzed all active eff
forts. One gratifying sign of the times
g that nearly all the great manufactur-
ing staples are in better demand and
at sitter prices. Certain branches of
the iron trade have much improved. The
rise in coal enables the Golfers to obtain
better wages, and the great amount of
freight offered to the railways is enabling
them to pay to their workmen higher
wages. The increase of pay to the train
men announced ON several trunk roads
seems to us one of the most gratifying
proofs of a betterment in business
