Treasures from the Deep.

"The sea-" SAYS writer who has deep
ly studied the subject, contains in its
bosom an exuberance of life, of which no
other region of the globe affords any idea.
Our forests do not afford any asylum to
nearly so many animals as do those of
the ocean. For the sea has its forests,
long marine herbs, or the floating banks
OF sea-weed which the waves have de-
tached. If we could plunge our chances
into the liquid crystal of the Indian
ocean, we could see realized therein the
fairy tales of our infancy. Fantastic
shrubs decked with living flowers, the
richest colors glowing everywhere, green
and browns, the livellest reds, and the
most intense blues. The sand is sprink-
led with sea hedgehogs and sea stars, IF
fantastic forms and varied colors. The
sea anemones, like great cactus flowers,
adorn the rocks with their crowns, or
spread over the ocean like flower bed
of brilliant flowers. The humming- birds
OF ocean, small, cleaning fishes, some
bright, with metallic splendor of blue
or vermillion, some with gilded green
or dazzling silver luster, play around the

abyss, the white or blue bells of the
medusa float through this enchanted
world.n
But if our coasts do not present us such
fairy land as this, they yet provide US
with many wonderful and beautiful
things: See, here is an oyster. 'Not
much beauty here" you say. No, but
much to wonder at. he does not seem
we'll placed for happiness, though with
out doubt he has his joys. His life is
spent between two heavy stone plates,
with which he can secure himself. Those
lovely things called pearls are, however,
his special treasure. They are caused by
wounds made by worms boring the shells
and hurting their bodies. Pearly matter
is thrown out freely on the injured spot.
which soon becomes pearl Of greater or
less size. Or sometimes grain of sand
gets into the oysters house and irritates
him, upon which he coats it over with
pearly matter.

An Old Tipo in Luck.

The st. Joseph (Mo) Herald, of Jan.
1st, contains the following, by which
we are pleased to learn that our old
friend, Capt. Frank Posegate, of
that city, one of the best printers in
the West, and one Of the most de-
serving and genial gentlemen we
ever knew, has received a practical
recognition Of his merits from Pres
ident Hayes, in the appointment as
Postmaster of St. Joe. The Herald
says:
Our new Postmaster, Captain F.
NJ. Posegate, received his commits
sion yesterday and Will to- day enter
upon his duties. The President nev-
er made disappointment which give a
more general satisfaction to the peo
pie. To discharge the duties of so
large an Office as that of st. Joseph
requires a man of energy and of
great executive ability. These quail
tiles Capt POsegate possesses in an
eminent degree. He is a thorough,
practical business man, untiring and
perseverng. He is in fact a laborer
in the true sense of the word. It
matters not how many hours it takes
to perform his work, he will devote
the necessary time to do it well. All
his life has been one continual round
of labor. For many years he was
connected with large daily news
paper establishment, and of late
years he has devoted himself to build
ing up the Steam Printing Compa-
ny, until he now has an establish
ment without a rival in facilities for
doing work, outside of the great
cities of the Union. The business in
which he is engaged is an intricate
one, but he has managed it with en-
tire success. To his new position
as postmaster he viii bring his ripe
business experience, and an integri-
ty thatis universally Acknowledged to
to be without a blemish. He is pop
ular with all classes of people, and
he has the good wishes Of all. That
he will prove an officer satisfactory to
all, we have no shadow of doubt.
In the clerks of his office Captain
Posegate is determined to have tried
and faithful men in every position,
With this view he. takes into the Of
fee to-day some new men, but all of
them well known to our citizens.
Mr.. Joseph S. Browne viii be Dep
uty Postmaster. It is hardly neces
sary to say any thing in commenda-
ton of this selection. He is uniYer-
sally and favorably known. He is
honest, reliable, and familiar with
the whole routine of postal matters.
He will have general supervision of
the entire office, and devote his en-
tire time to the work.

FuU Outfit.

An officer in the army who was going
to India to join his regiment recently
made all his purchases at a famous
West-End establishment where the
boat is that everything can be had
there cheap and of the best. The Gus
toner was such a large buyer that the
proprietor, contrary to usage, stepped
foi oiw.rd to thank him, and to express a
hope that the officer was perfectly salts
fed, and had been able to find every
thing that he required. The captain
thanked the proprietor, and answered:

query Of the prOprietOr-''not alp I

followed. He went through strange
labyrinths, and up and down stairs
innumerable. En- route the proprietor
communicated these facts. About

County, Ohio Thursday January Nv

Itappears to be a fact that the Ger
man Society for the Introduction Of
of Cremation has paid the sum of fifteen
thousand marks to the town of Gotha
to cover the necessary expenses of er-
rectng a cremation apparatus. Strict
regulations have also been published by
the police, ordering the examination by
competent medical officers of all bodies
submitted to be burned, so as to pre-
vent cremation in all cases where the
causes Of death have not been properly
ascertained. In order to still further
guard against abuse, bodies sent to
GOtha are to be subjected to the same
OF even more stringent rules before
being received for the operation. At
first no corpse is to be burngd unless
the deceased had expressed a wish to
that effect and the relatives have ap-
proved.

UNION STAR, No, Jan. 4, 1878.
DEAR News again I turn aside
from the busy cares of life, to devote
a few moments to writing to your
valuable paper by speciaI request Of
one of your constant readers.
As the news is waited to us Of the
great good being accomplished by
the Murphy Temperance movement,
we are made to rejoice that thou
sands are saved from the demon Of
strong drink I am glad to inform
you that this western country is
beginning to realize its influence
st. Josephhas become awakened, and
thousands have signed the pledge.
In Maysyille, the county seat of De-
Kalb, there is now only one sa-
loon, and Rev. A. Overton has been
holding meetings in it for some time.
Good attendance, good order and
good results. Rev. T. P. Stauber,
pastor of Sixth st. NJ. E. church, Sa-
wanna, has received a commission as
State Lecturer for the L o. G. T.s.
So you see our people are beginning
to move in the right direction. One
of our county papers is especially de-
voted to the cause of Temperance
and shows much zeal.
1t is hardly in order at this late
date, to tell the good people of old
Highland how surprised we were
when we received the news of the
result of the last fall eIeetion-that
the grand old State Of Ohio, tried
and true, had been shorn of her
strength and succumbed at last to q
Democratic majority. seHow are the
fallenT All, we know who
"held the fort" in the dark DAYS of q
year ago, when justice and fraud
trembled in the balance, and held the
nation in such terrible suspense for
so long a time, but Right prevailed,
because Truth is stronger than Error.
We had some very. cold weather.
through November, but December
was quite Spring like. Roads are in
a terrible condition. After being
frozen, they are entirely thawed, and
are made worse by the rain, which is
unusual for this country in winter.
The past season. has been one of
prosperity for the agrioulturalist in
this part of Missouri. All kinds of
produce plenty, and the very finest
apples in abundance.
A Narrow Gauge Railroad is being
built through from st. Joseph TO Al

Lunacy and Leisure in Eng
land

Up to 1859, lunacy exhibited a
steady increase in England, but since
that date it has been steadily dimin-
ishing. On the other hand, Dr.
OrdrOneaux, of New York, lately
pointed to the fact that lunacy has
shown a steady increase here, which
be attributed chiefly to the intense
struggle and competition in the race
for wealth. In England, during the
last fifteen years, men have worked
much less hard than in time past.

Cotton in WOOlen Fabrics.

Ravel out the suspected cotton fiber
from the wool and apply flame. The
cotton will burn with flash, the wool
will curl up, carbonize, and emit a
burned, disagreeable smell. Even to
the naked eye the cotton is noticeably
different from the flaments of wool,
and under the microscope this differ
ence comes out strongly. The cotton
is fattened, more OF less twisted band,
having very striking resemblance to
hair. which, in reality it is; since, in
the condition Of elongated cells, it lines
the inner surface Of the pod. The wool
may be recognized at once by the zig
gag transverse markings on lis fibers.
The surface of wool is cover d with
these fuTTowed and twisted fine cross
lines, Of which there are 1000 to 1900
in an inch. On this structure depends
its felting property. Finally, simple
and very striking chemical test may be
applied. The mixed goods are Un-
ravelied, a little of the cotton fiber put
into one dish and the wool into anOth.
er, and a drop Of strong nitric acid
added. The cotton will be little or not
at all affected; the wool, on the con-
trary, will lie changed to a bright yell
low. The color is due to the develop
ment Of a Ficrate.-youHalO Of Chemistry.
