The MangOsteen.

Efforts are said to be making in the East
Indies toexport to America the delicious
fruit known as the mangosteen, which
persons who have visited Ceylon, Java,
or the southeast OF Asia must remember
to have eaten with pleasure. 1t is claimed
that some plan has been devised to keep
the fruit during the long voyage. The
mangosteen, native to the Molucca Is
lands, although grown in many parts of
the East, resembles. in size and shape an
orange. The rind is like that of the
pomegranate, but thicker, softer, and
iuicier. Green at first, it changes to a
dark brown with yellow spots; the in
side, of a rosy hue, being divided by
thin partitions into several cells in
which the seeds lie, surrounded by soft
succulent pulp, tasting like combina-
ton of grape and strawberry. 1t can
be eaten without inconvenience in any
quantity, and is the sole fruit which
physicians permit their patients to take.
Indeed, it is recommended as very
wholesome, and has the happy mix ture
of sour and sweet that is so appetizing
as to prevent safety. The leaves of the
tree are entire, some seven or eight
inches long, tapering at the ends, of s
bright green above, and an olive color be
meath. The blossom looks like single
rose and has four dark-red petals. 1t
not improbable the mangosteen nigh
be domesticated in Florida and south
ern California, since it seems to need
only hot weather in order to flourish
and if it could be domesticated, it woule
be great addition to cur mauy yarietie
of delicious fruits,

. Cats rs RetrieYerS.

The San Francisco Alta says: We are
satisfied that cats generally could be
trained, not only as retrievers, but also
to catch game for their masters. A lady
of this city, when living in the country
several years since, seeing her cat bring
quail to her kittens, took it from her,
caressed her, and gave her a piece OF
fresh beef The cat understanding
then, for the first time, that her mistress
wanted quail, brought one to her the
next day, and frequently afterward, once
three in one day. Previously she had
caught them for herself and kittens. II
is well known that cats are expert bird
catchers, and the question whether theil
skill can not be used for the benefit ot
their masters deserves attention.
The Sacramento (Cal.) Union says: A
resident of Sacramento County, who has
a peculiar faculty for training animals
has educated three to serve the purpose
of dogs, as retrievers. When he take:
up his gun and calls them from tn,
house they follow with a grand rush
mewing and whining excitedly. Wher
bird is shot they enter upon the live
liest kind of race to retrieve it, and, i
it is not in sight, hunt the ground thor
oughly, never omitting to slap at ont
another viciously whenever they come
within reaching distance. No matte
which of the trio finds the bird, the car
rying to the shooter is generally done b!
a patriarchial Thomas, who "play
roots F" upon the others very cunningly
and scratches and bites if one of th,
other cats gets the game first and doe
not surrender it on demand. He carrie
the bird to his mater, and stands guar
over it until it is taken from him AM
bagged.

Winds.

fJohn Muir, in scribner for November.l
{ Winds are advertisements of all they
touch, however much or little we may
be able to read them; telling their wan
derings even by their scents alone. Mar
liners detect the fowery perfume of
land-winds far at sea, and sea-winds
carry the fragrance of dulse and tangle
far inland, where it is quickly recog-
nized, though mingled with the scents
of thousand land-aowers. As an il.
lustration of this, l might tell here that
1 breathed sea-air ON the Firth of Forth,
in Scotland, while a boy; then was
taken inland to Wisconsin, where I re-
mained nineteen years; then, without
in all this time having breathed one
breath of the sea, [ walked quietly,
alone, from the middle of the Missis-
sippi Valley to the Gulf of Mexico, ON
botanical excursion, and while in Flor
ida, far from the coast, my attention
wholly bent on the splendid tropical
vegetation, I suddenly recognized a sea
breeze, as it came sitting through the
palInettos and blooming vine tangles,
which at once awakened and set free
thousand dormant associations, and
made me boy in Scotland again, as if
all the intervening years were annihi-
lated.
Most people like to look at mountain
rivers, and bear them in mind; but few
care to look at the winds, though far
more beautiful and sublime, and though
they become at times about as visible as
flowing water. When the north winds
in winter are making upward sweeps
over the curving SUBMITS of. the Alps,
the fact is sometimes published with
flying banners half mile long. Those
portions of the winds thus embodied can
scarce be wholly invisible, even to the
darkest imagination. And when we
look around over an agitated forest, we
may see something of the wind that
stirs it by its effects upon the trees.
Yonder it descends in rush of water
like ripples, and sweeps over the bend
ing tr5es from hill to hill. Nearer, we,
see detached plumes and leaves, now
speeding by On level currents, now
whirled in eddies, or escaping over the
edges of the whirls, carried rapidly
aloft on grand, up-swelling domeso of air,
or tossed on fame-like crests, smooth,
deep currents, cascades, falls, and swirl
ing eddies, singing around every tree
and leaf, and over all the varied topo-
graphy of the region with telling
changes of form, like mountain rivers
conforming to the features of their
channels.

Douglas 'JerrOld.

The author of "Mrs. Caudle's Lee
lures" was once placed in very trying
and, to him, dangerous predicament.
From Sheerness, his birthplace, he had
entered active service in the British
Navy as midshipman. One day, hav-
ing gone ashore with the captain, he
was left in command of the gig, or
wherry, while that officer was absent.
. Meanwhile, two of the men in the
young midshipman's charge asked to be
allowed to go out and make some pur-
chases. To this young Douglas will
ingly assented, adding, as they de-
parted, Z" By the way, you may as well
buy me some apples and few pears"
Soon the commander returned and in
quired for the men. Douglas stated
their errand, and seemed looking for
them every moment. Minutes and
hours passed, and still the men had not
returned. A diligent search was insti-
tuted, but all in vain. The awful truth
now flashed over the young delinquent's
brain,-they had deserted!
This unfortunate event made a last
ing impression upon him, and years
after, when he had washed the salt from
his face and entered upon far more
prosperous career, his countenance
would light up with a peculiar glow at
mention of the occurrence. He said he
remembered every feature of the runa-
ways, and stoutly affirmed that he could
pick them out in the greatest crowd on
Rotten Row, an assertion he unexpect-
edly had the opportunity of proving.
One day, strolling through the busy
thoroughfares of London to printing
house in Whitefriars, he was struck
with the face and form of baker, who
with his basket of bread at his back
stood before a shop window gazing in
undisturbed awe at the goods therein
displayed.
Jerrold was amazed. Here was ons
of the culprits and no mistake. Ever
the -four dredge on his face could moi
hide that fact. Slipping up behind, ht
administered vigorous slap on th'
back, and as the astonished baker
turned to look, greeted him with th'
remark
81 say, my friend, haven't you beer
rather long about that fruit?'
The offenders face fell. He stood fo
moment speechless. He, too, remem
bered the fruit and the young MILDLY
for he said, "Lor', is that you, sir ?
The gallant midshipman laughed ant
went on his way.

A Swim on Horseback.

A novel swim took place on the
Thames, the performer being young
officer in the Hungarian army, Lieuten-
ant Won Zubovits. This gentleman has
invented a saddle by means of which
wide .and rapid rivers can be easily
crossed on horseback, the rider remain
ing dry above the waist.
Considerable interest seemed to be
taken in the trial trip, a saloon steamer
which had been chartered to accompany
the swim being crowded with visitors.
Lieutenant Won Zuvobits rode gray
horse, the property of Mr.. Henderson,
the ship-owner, this horse having had
previously only three trials in the water; !;
but the Lieutenant states that when he
commanded a Circassian regiment in
the late war he had no difficulty in
easily persuading horses to take to the
water, and on one occasion in the
Danube he swan one horse for eighteen
hours.
The start was fixed to take place at
five o'clock, by which hour Westminster
bridge was crowded with spectators. A
cheer soon announced that the ieuten-
ant had commenced his swim, and in the
distance, eff the Horse-ferry, could be
seen what appeared to be one of those
dummies used at seaside regattas in
aquatic tournaments, but as it ap-
preached the strange sight came to view
of a man comfortably seated in the sad
dle-the top of which was about three
inches above the waters edge-swim-
ming down on horseback, the horse
with arched neck apparently exhibiting
no signs of fear beyond occasionally
taking a nervous sip of the tly no means
too pure water.
The invention consists in simply q
double India-rubber saddle inflated with
air, which keeps the horse afoat with
ease The saddle, when emptied, weighs
between eight or ten pounds, and, it il
stated, can be used for carrying water
or fodder when not required for the
purpose of enabling cavalries to eros!
rivers. Westminster bridge was passed
at twenty Five minutes past five o'clock
the steamer starting at the same time
considerable interest being evidently
taken in the proceedings by the military
attaches of the foreign embassies, wht
were on board. The rider was accom-
panied by little boat, in the stern O
which sat Mr.. Henderson, who encour
aged on the horse.

Among the Maine Indians.
baltimore American. ]

I found the governor or chief of the
Passamaquoddy tribe at the house Of
one of his people, where he had been in
yited to dine. | was ushered into the
dining-room by small papoose, who
took it upon himself to lead me to the
governor without first obtaining his per-
mission, and l came upon the parties
unawares. l cannot say but what the
governor was just little chagrined at
my intrusion, but he hastily rose from
the seat which he occupied on the floor
and gave me a cordial welcome. The
"cloth" was laid upon the floor, though
table was in the room, and six of
these dusky people were sitting round
enjoying their repast. Gov. Solomon
Francis is now the chief of his tribe.
He IS eighty-one years of age, and his
position entities him to a further an
nuity Of fifty dollars, which he consid-
ers a very small sum, inasmuch as his
father many years ago received one
hundred and fifty dollars for occupying
the same position. He is chosen by his
people, with life term of office, and
his duties are to maintain order and
quietude among the Indians under his
jurisdiction. His son, an intelligent
youth of about twenty years, was given
me as guide, with instructions to con-
duct me to those families where cor
rect idea of the characteristics and man
ners of the people might be observed.
He led me to the cleanly-looking
dwelling of Lewis Francis, who was
then on porpoise expedition, but his
squaw, white woman of very respect
able family connections, was busily en-
gagged in preparing dinner. This wo-
man is possessed of more than ordinary
intelligence, with flashing eyes and a
proud bearing. Her twenty-three years
of married life and association with his
tribe seems not to have had the effect of
destroying the refinement and teachings
of her early youth. She speaks the In.
dian language fuently, and is an adept
in the finest branch of basket-making,
She appears to be happy and satisfied,
and when | asked her if she had cause
to regret her marriage, her quiyering
lips and subdued manner betokened her
| answer, and in the words of the fair
Desdemona, she could have said:
"Tbe heavens forbid
| But that our loves and comforts should increase
Even as our days do grow"
She is the mother of eight children,
all girls but one, and fine looking, the
Indian blood scarcely perceptible. The
wife assured me that her affection for
her husband and children was such that
she would willingly risk her life to save
them from danger. She experienced
very little difference in her mode Of
living from that which she had been
accustomed in her early life. 1t is
true she had married without the con,
sent of her parents, but this offense had
long since been condoned and family
visits exchanged, and her father dying
recently, bequeathed to her fifty acre
of land Immediately adjoining thei
village.

deaf and dumb, Lady Melville, before
the company arrived, sent lady friend
who was familiar with the dumb alpha
bet into the drawing room, to be ready
against his lordship's arrival. 1t hap
peped, however, that Lord Guildford was
the first to make his appearance, and the
lady, taking him for Lord Seaferth, be-
gan to sign to him nimbly with her fin
gers. His lordship, happening to be an
adept in the deaf and dumb alphabet,
replied in the same way; and so they
went on talking in this noiseless manner
on their fingers till Lady Melville en-
tered, when her friend said, aloud:
Well. 1 have been talking my best
to this dumb man."
Dumbp cried Lord Guildford, in
unfeigned surprise; why; my good
lady, 1 thought you were dumb"

THEY tell story in the Temple of
ex-Chief Baron Pollock, that one who
wished him to resign waited on him and
limited it, suggesting it for his own sake,
entirely with view to the prolongation
of his own valued life, etc. The old
man arose and said, with his grim, dry
gravity. Will you dance with me p"
The guest stood aghast as the Lord Chief
Baron, who prided himself particularly
upon his legs, began to caper about
with certain youthful vivacity. See
ing his visitor standing surprised, he
capered up to him, and said: Well, if
you won't dance with me, will you box
with me?" And with that he squared
up to him, and, half in jest and half in
earnest. fairly boxed him out of the
room, The old Chief Baron had no
more visitors auxiously inquising after
his health and suggesting his retirement.

DROLL BLUNDERs.

An amusing book has been recently
published entitled /" A book of blum
ders." 1t is republication of a series of
letters and papers sent to the Glasgow
Herald, and well repays perusal. We
give few extracts from it.
AS specimens of typographical errors,
there are among others the following :
By the insertion of one letter in place
of another, a newspaper, not long since,
reporting the danger that an express
train had run, in consequence of a COW
getting upon the line, said, As the
safest way, the engineer put on full
steam, dashed up against the COW, and
literally cut it into catveS!" A Scotch
newspaper, reporting the speeches at a
Scotch centenary meeting, made one oi
the orators exclaim, with more truth
than accuracy:
so, Caledonia, stern and wild,
Wet-nurse for poetic child"
Meyer, perhaps, was the word "aus
tere more misconstrued than in the
instance of clergyman in Lancashire
who got wholesale warning in regard
to pulpit articulation, by discovering il
one house which he visited the day af
ter preaching from Luke xix, 81, thai
the servants had gone home with tn,
impression that his text had been, ''

ported in the Pail Mall Gazette some O
