A YANKEE TRICK.

Just before the Declaration Of Independence, a
Yankee peddler started down to New York to sell
a lot OF bowls and dishes he had made of maple
Jonathan travelled over the CITY, asking every.
body to buy his wares, but no one was disposed
to purchase.
1t happened that the British feet was then ly-
ing in the harbor OF New York, and Jonathan
struck upon plan Of selling his dishes. He got
naval uniform by hook or by crook Qor history
don't tell where lie got IT, and strutting up town
one morning asked a merchant il he had any
nice woodenware, as the Commodore wanted q
lot for his feet.
The merchant replied thath he had none on hand
but there was some in town, and If he would send
in the afternoon he would supply him with pleas
ure.
every good" said our naval officer, II will
call"
Jonathan now cut for home by the shortest
route and had scarcely dOffed his borrowed plu
mage before down came the merchant, who, see
ing that Jonathan had sold none Of his wares, Of
fered to take the whole ii he would deduct ffteer
per cent, but Jonathan said he would be gol
darned If he didn't take 'em home before he't
take a cent less than his first price,
The merchant finally paid him down in golt
his price for the woodenware, which laid on hi
shelves for many long day thereafter, and iona
than trotted home in high glee at :the success o
his maneuver, while the merchant Cussed British
officers ever after. Philadelphia Herald.

SCOTCH DOMESTIC LIFE.

A traveller writes that Scotch people are happier
in their own country than they are abroad, for
the reason that business and pleasure are more
equally divided, and politics does not permeate
so completely the social system. Social pleasures
there are more indoors than out. One old friend
takes his dinner with another old friend they
speak of things, of people and of books, They
crack jokes and tell stories. Dinner parties are
much in fashion in the larger cities, but in the
heart of the country the old-fashioned tea party
is still held There is comfort in these Scotch tea
parties after all. The cosy room. the closed cur
tains the open FIRE, the kissing urn, the pleasant
interchange of thought the music in the drawing
room, the little supper afterwards, the tumbler Of
toddy, the jokes of the old folks, the rtations Of
the young-in short hospitality with comfort,

When Lord Nelson sailed for Copenhagen and
the destination of the fleet was sufficiently
known, some Danish sailors, who were on board
the Amazon frigate, went to Captain Riou, and
requested that he would get them exchanged into
ship bound on some other service they had no
wish, they said, to quit the British Navy, but
they enreated that they might not be led to fight
against their country There was not in the Brit
ish Navy man who had higher or more CHI
yalrous sense of honor and duty than Riou. The
tears came into his eyes while the men were ad-
dressing him he ordered his boat instantly, and
did not return to the Amazon till he had procured
their exchange. 1t was in this action that the
gallant Riou fell, The frigates were hauling off,
and at the moment the Amazon showed her stern
to the enemy he was killed, Almost his last
words were an expression Of regret at being
obliged to retreat, what" said he, will Nelson
think of Hs?'

matter of interest in selenography is a recent
discovery by DR., Hermann ]. Klein, Of Cologne,
who for twelve years has made study of the
moon For the last century and especially since
the investigations Of Herschel, Schroter and Mad
Ter, the moon has been thought to be an entirely
dead planet, old and inactive. This opinion must
now be abandoned, as DR.. Klein has discovered
an active crater near the centre of the lunar disk,
the opening being larger than any continuously
active crater on the EARTH with the single eXcep-
ton of Kllauea, in the Hawaiian Islands. Prof.
Hall, Of Washington, is said to have promised 70
examine into the matter, and Mr. ]. Ward, Of Bel
fast, has seen the volcano in the place assigned to
1t by DR.. Klein, and describes Its crater as black,
with soft edge.

CARVING TIE TURKEY.

An ancient Turkey weak and gray,
"In fancbuH mortls" helpless lay,
by the bank Of the dark Bosphorous,
And gazed with feeble, fading eyes
Al the itful light In the Western skies
That cleaned like cleaning phosphorus.
Bull and bear sat close by his side
And watched his lifes blood ebblng tide,
with faces sad and pathetic.
The Bull administered lotion loans
To brace his nerves and strengthen his bones,
The Bear gave him Tartar Emetlc
He had been In his time game old cock,
And stood gainst his foes like granite rock,
As true as the truest Roman,
And now, though his life was ebbing fast,
He raised himself and he died at last
With his face TO his cruel foemen,
Our brother has gone do declare,n
Said brother bull TO brother Bear
"I almost feel like crying
Our friend was so valiant good and meek
With only one failure so to speak,
lie was rather too long In dying
"And now, brother Bear, we'll cut him in two
And divide his flesh like Christians true, ~
One half for me one half for you,
Carving him neatly and prettlly.
Joint by Joint, and piece by piece,
Leaving the tail for sister Greece,
And the Popes nose for brother Italy"
so they ran the knife in up to theheft
They carved him right and they carved him LEFT,
And carved him down the middle
But they could not hnda single piece
Ofmeat or flesh, or fat or grease
Sufficient TO grease the griddle.
It was a Turkey only in name,
With no true lnwardness- frame,
Like Gnh of July rocket
It was thin az q wafer, thin as ghost,
Thin as diet Of water and toast,
Thin Ms the speech offs Congressman when
He talks about honor and honest men,

And hardly able to hobbe,

Gobble her down and gobble at once,
While there's something left to gobble.

husband was In the country and had sworn TO

preference but to school he was sent, where he
will remain until he is sixteen.

COMMODORE PERRY. i.
Some Errors About the Battle Of Lake Erie Cor.
Tected.
Newport (R, ~ Letter to N, Y, Post,

Newport (R ~ Letter to N, Y. Post.l
In recent number Of the Cleveland (Ohiol
Herald there are some "reminiscences OF the Battle
OF Lake Erie taken down by a reporter from the
lips OF man by the name Of John Rice, who, II is
said, Is the only man living who was with Com
modore Perry on Lake Erie Rice Is now nearly
eighty'seVen years Of age, and among other state
menm he has settled the question, "Who killed
Tecumseh p averrng that he saw Col. Johnson
bring him down with his pistol. will not yues.
tion this part OF RiCes narrative, but his memory
certainly failed him when he said that Perrys
boat, when II passed srom the Lawrence 10 the
Niagara, was rowed by only two men-Jacob Tool
and AleCk Netlan. The boat was rowed by Bar
ney McCiran Benjamin Drlng James Jackson,
John Brown and - Fowler-men whose names
have been preserved by Commodore Perry's fami-
ly, Rice also says that Commodore Perry, when
shot crashed through his boat, pulled of his
coat and stuffed II into the hole to keep her from
sinking. The round tops OF the enemy were filed
with Sharpshooters, and Commodore Perry, when
he went into action, wore round jacket made Of
thin blue stuff, which prevented him from being
distinguished from other men on the deck Of the
Lawrence, This jacket, light garment, usually
worn when of duty and In his cabin, has been
preserved, and Is now valued as an heirloom.
But II II had been stuffed In hole In the side Of
boat that would have been the last of 1t for no one
would have thought OF pulling 1t out when the
boat reached the Niagara. The story probably
grew out OF song once popular with sailors, in
which there was this line:
"And he pulled of his coat aud plugged up the boat"
Probably there never was greater excitement in
Newport than when the news was received here
OF the victory on Lake Erie The enthusiasm Of
the people knew no bounds, and all were anxious
for the return Of Commodore Perry, but he was
detained on the lake by pressing duties, and Il
| was not till November that he reached Newport.
! On his way from Este he was everywhere receiV-
ed with demonstrations of respect and love, the
people seeking every opportunity to honor one
who had accomplished so much with 80 slender
means schools were dismissed, towns were illu-
minated, and crowds thronged the route.
The letter that accompanied his commission
when he was promoted after the battle reads az
follows;
