Where Do sponges Come Prom ,

lHarper's weekIy.i
Ii is not unlikely many Of our readers
could give more satisfactory reply TO
this than 10 another question, namely,
What is sponge? For long il was
doubtful whether this familiar object
belonged TO the animal or the vegetable
kingdom, but naturalists are now agreed
that it is unqucstionably TO be referred
to the former. Commonplace article as
an ordinary sponge is, it possesses his
tory, from its cradle in the ocean depths
to its cradle uses in the nursery and
elsewhere, that in point Of interest and
instructiveness it would be difficult to
surpass. No anecdotes of its intelligence
could be narrated, because it is to be
classed among the lowest forms of animal
life; but DIR. James Murie has ably
shown that the sponge family has charm
of its own, and very special claim upon
the thoughtful study of scientific men.
But into this branch Of the subject we
shall not enter; pass we, therefore, to
its commercial aspect.
Sponges, as is tolerably well known,
are obtained in various parts of the
Mediterranean, and at the. Bahama Is
lands. Greeks and Turks mainly pursue
the fishery in the former districts, and
their mode of diving, ETC., is familiar to
many; but of the Bahama industry in
formation is not so general, Last year,
$50 900 pounds Of sponges, worth about
$40, 900, were exported from the islands
of which 100000 pounds were sent to
England the remainder being reserved
for the United States and Canada,
About five hundred vessels and two
thousand persons (mostly colored) are
employed in the fishery The ships cruise
about among the islande, their trips
lasting from two to six weeks, according
to the weather, the divers being unable
to work when the water is rough. The
sponges when caught are found to be a
black gelatinous substance, giving off
an unpleasant odor that increases with
putrefaction. After the divers have
collected sufficient quantity, the
sponges are taken ashore and buried in
the sand, or exposed to the sun for few
days; they are then beaten with clubs
to remove the decomposed animal mat
ter, which flies away in the shape of
black dust. They are next thoroughly
washed in sea-water, after which they
are slowed in the vessels hold. On ar
irving at port the sponges are sold to
merchants who trade in them, and by
whom they are passed into the hands of
the clipper, who cuts off all coarse matter,
and otherwise trims them. This opera
ton having been performed, they are
ready for the press, where they are
baled for shipment. A sponge press is
not unlike cider press on a large scale,
but it is made of iron, and requires from
two to eight men to turn the screw.

TESS we could never see the slightest cause,
vention, unless it be the fact that misery
loves company. For fifty or hundred
men, whose several weights range from two
hundred to three hundred pounds, to hold a
convention simply because of so much sur

1t becomes doubly so when we reflect that
obesity is a disease. What would we think
of as many persons emaciated by consump-
ton holding a convention to compare their
relative weights. There is but one ground
upon which we would advocate another fat

Is generated by the action of the suns rays
upon damp decaying vegetation, stagnant
pools, and marshy, low lying tracts. The
true nature of this missma is by no means
clearly understood, but there are two facts
in relation to it that are. TIE first is, that
the periodical fevers which it breeds are of
the most virulent type; the second is, that
these maladies are rarely cured, although
they may be ameliorated, by the ordinary
remedies employed to overcome them. The
true antldote to the effects of miasma is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This medicine
is one of the most popular remedies of an
age of successful proprietary specifics, and
is in immense demand wherever on this

A YOUNG lady of this city, day or
two since, in movinga flour barrel came
across an old mouse with a half dozen
young ones. The mother ran away, but
the little ones, which were too young to
move, were taken up and put in wire
trap, which was thus baited and set to
catch the old nous. 1t didn't work
very well; though, for on looking in the
morning it was found that in so far as
catching mousey was concerned, mousey
had played it on them, for she had sue
cessfully entered the trap and carried
away the entire six without springing

Northern New York Bear Stories.
[watertown IN. Y. } Dispatch.

IWntertown IN. y Dispatch.
Bears and squirrels are more plenty
this season than they have been for many
years past; and from this fact it is
adduced that an early and severe winter
is before us. Those who have made obser-
vations in nature say that the near
approach of those animals TO the dwell
ing of man, in early fall, is an almost in
fallible sign. In the neighborhood of
Norwood theylare more numerous than
ever before, says the Register, and al
most every farmer in the township of
Dummer has seen bear. One followed
a farmer who had honey in his buggy
some distance, and even approached the
door of the house
tParis IN. Y Mirror
Monday afternoon Miss Cora Harter
saw black bear crossing lot near her
fathers residence, and Immediately
communicated the fact to the house
hold. Her father and brother gathered
together their munitions of war, con-
sisting Of two shotguns, and sending
Cora TO summon the neighbors' assist
ance, were soon joined by George and
Frank Thayer, when all gave chase to
his bearship. They soon had him freed,
and Frank blazed away with an old
" howitzer" and filled the bears mouth
with buckshet, but he merely shook his
head at the introduction He then re-
ceived like dose from one of the party
in the back which caused him to seek
another tree. They followed him up
and kept pouring shot into his carcass
until he showed signs of fatigue, and
turning partly round to the hunters, as
if to appeal for mercy, he inadvertently
lifted forepaw. Frank took advan-
tage of the position and planted broad
side from his blunderbuss, which brought
" bruin =" tograss. They then fell upon
him and belabored him with clubs until
he died. His weight was one hundred
and eleven pounds-the half pound we
allow for the lead that had lodged in
his body. This is the fourth bear that
has been seen in this section within a
short time, and we may hear of other
captures ere long.

Rising from the Dead.

Reports of a startling occurrence
have just come to light in Paterson,
\. j., which are the topic of CONVEX
sation everywhere in that city. On
Tuesday last a daughter of Mr.. j. b.
Demarest, a grocer. of No. 30 Willis
street, died, it was supposed, from
heart disease. On Friday the father
left the coffin by the side of which he
had been kneeling and passed to an
adjoining room, where he threw him
self on an arm chair, and weeping hid
his face in his hands. Suddenly he
heard or thought he heard the patter
of a familiar football, and looking up
saw to his great surprise the door to
the adjoining Don softly opened and
his child, dressed in her shroud. en-
tering. She tottered across the floor
to where he sat, and throwing herself
upon his knee twined her arms about
his neck. Then she nestled down in
his arms and fell slowly backward.
He lifted her up, but the vital spark
had flown. The semblance of death
had been a trance. The little dead
body was inferred on hat day.-New
York Herald.

A Medical View of Cats.

The we'll known English medical
paper, The Lancet, speaks thus unkind-
lv of the domestic cat Apart from
the mischief these creatures may do by
living upon your young children for
warmth, and su~ffocating them, they
are by no mean to be despised as enc
mics. When excited or stirred to an
ger it is more easy to defend the body
from the direct attack of a dog than to
repel the sly and sudden onslaught of
a cat. 1t is, moreover, a mistake to
suppose shat there is no danger in the
bite or the scratch of one of those ami
mails. There have been abundant and
melancholy proofs Of his peril of con
tracing hydrophobia from cats. The
danger is scarcely less than thai which
attends an injury inflicted by a dog.
This should be borne in mind, and if
the consideration should have the eff
feet of diminishing the number of cats
maintained. or rather kept without
any adequate provision for their sup
port, the population will be the gain
