How They Caught a swordfish.

Capt. Whitmore, of the schooner l.. T.
Whitmore, which arrived in this city
from Florida, reports that one day dur
ing the passage, when apparently becalm-
ed, he thew his log to see if he was
making any Roadway. The log was one
OF the new patent kind. In the coarse
OF few moments Capt. Whitmore took
hold of the log-line to pull in the log,
when, to his establishment, he found he
could not move it. Calling two or three
men to his assistance, they finally sue
ceeded in getting the log close up to the
vessel, when to their astonishment they
discovered that they had large sword
fish in tow. 1t is supposed that he
grabbed the log when it was first thrown
overheard and when in an upright posi-
ton; that it became wedged in his
mouth in some manner, and the more
the fish tried to free himself the more
did he become "snarled up" in the log
line. However, another line was made
fast to him, and the crew of the Whit
more finally got him on board. He
weighed about 800 pounds.-FaH River,

Cause of Cyclones.

The cause of cyclones are very imper-
fectly understood by meteorologists, but
the nature and mode of their operation
will now be very carefully studied, and
the facts recorded during recent mani
festations of their power will be class
fled and used in later efforts TO deduce
laws from them. All the destructive
tornadoes of late years have been of the
-cyclone class-rotating on their axes.
Another singular feature of these phe-
nomena is their leaping motion Both in
Wisconsin and Missouri the effects of the
blast were clearly sporadic. The storm
seemed to progress by series of bounds,
swooping down on village, farm, or
belt of timber, shattering it as with a
mighty blow and carrying the debris
forward and upward some distance and
then descending again with destructive
force.

The Rain Tree of South America.

A singular and hitherto unexplained
phenomenon is thus accounted for by an
English traveller, MIR. Spruce:
"The Tamia-caspi, or rain three of the
eastern Peruvian Andes, is not myth,
but fact, although not exactly in the
way popular rumor has lately presented
it. [ did not know there was any doubt
as to the true original of the rain l
first witnessed the phenomenon in Sep
TENDER 1856, when residing at Tarapoto
latitude six and half degrees south,
longitude seventy-six degrees and twenty
minutes west), a town or large village a
few days eastward of Moyohamba, and a
little more than 1000 feet above the sea
level. / had gone one morning at day
break, with two assistants, into the
adjacent wooded hills, TO botanize. \
A little after seven o'clock we came
under a lowish spreading tree, from
which, with a perfectly clear sky over
head, a smart rain was falling. A
glance upward showed multitude of
cicadas sucking the juices of the tender
young branches and leaves, and squirt
ing forth slender streams of limpid fluid
We had barely time to note this when
we were assailed by swarms of large black
ants, which bit and stung fercely, and
obliged us to beat retreat, my compan-
ions calling out as they ran, Tamia-
caspi! Tamia-caspil When we had
shaken off our assailants, | ventured to
approach the spot so near as to make out
that the ants were greedily licking up
the fluid as it fell"

purposes, all fruit should be ripe when
offered in market If it is not ripe it
should not find sale. 1t should be sound
also. If the quantity on Land
is large enough to justify, it should be
carefully assorted; the best specimens
put by themselves, even though they be
few in number, and the least valuable
placed by themselves. This will enable
the customers to choose according to
their purposes or means, and will most
likely secure buyers for all the grades.
10 so arrange ones fruit in boxes or
crates as to have the finest specimens on
top, while below or mere odds and ends,
is to act dishonesty as well as foolishly.
Fair dealings as to quality, quantity, and
price will always pay best in the long
run. Much attention should be given
the boxes or crates in which the fruit is
marketed. They should be neat, con-
venient in size and attractive in appear
ance. Labels setting forth the name of
the fruit and of the grower, of his local
ity, will greatly add to the attractiveness
of the stock and the satisfaction of the
purchasers. We would make more
money if we were more mindful of the
fact that buyers are largely influenced
by their eyes and that the sight often
dictates peremptorily to the appetite

THE CITY OF SILENCE,
BY HARVEY HOWARD.

Tt is lust the sweetest city!
Yet sometimes | think we pity
Those who dwell within those pretty
White dwellings, on the hill.
1t is so peaceful, pleasant
And fair to jewellers present;
And the partridge and the pheasant
Feel no fear, it is so still.
It's walls are low and narrow,
And the hnnet and the sparrow
Make the only music there. On!
So silent are its honest
Never have its doors a rover:
Myrtle green and reddest clover
Grow In wreathed profusion over
Its many earthen domes.
Here are found no wreaths OF laurel,
None OF bitter rue and sorrel;
Never comes the sound of quarrel
In those quaint and vacant ways.
No sound of stately masses,
Nor of any praising, passes
Upward through the growing grasses
All the moveless, voiceless days.
Men from other cities wander,
Other Aome-ties sometimes sundeT;
Not so in the white town yonder
On the wide-browed hill.
Not shadow of returning,
Not jot of fear or yearning
In the dwellers' bosoms burning,
Ever came, or ever will.
O, peace SO pure and tender,
So wrapped about in splendor,
So needless of defender
Or champion or aid,
Each life must have its knelling;
Some day he who is telling
Shall come and claim a dwelling
Among your resting dead.

VINO complain the least. 1hey nave a
reputation to maintain, and they do
maintain it.-Prairie Farmer.
MOST of our western soils rest upon a
foundation as impervious to water as if
made of glue. A fertile soil is "build-
ing" of the most wonderful architecture,
with its columns, spaces and aqueducts,
not for the purpose of holding water
like jug, but great and comprehensive
storehouse in which are deposited the
riches of the earth, the air, the sunshine,
and the falling rain. During the wet
periods when the land must lie in a
saturated condition, the porosity of the
soil is broken down; the fertilizing gases
are expelled from the hiding places and
the roots Of the growing crops are COM
PEELED to creep near the surface and
reach out into the sunlight for subsist-
ence. While this is the case, the few
scorching, dry days may ruin the farm
er's hopes, by converting the soil into
bricks and the roots of plants to dry
branches. The water supply being kept
so near, and within reach of the roots of
vegetation is a wise provision of nature
if the water line is kept three or four
feet beneath the surface by artificial
means. This is secured by either the
tile draining, or open bitches, the tile
being preferable, for the reason that it
does not lessen the cultivated surface of
the ground. Many farmers have found
tile laying to pay for itself in a single
year, to say nothing of the satisfaction
derived from cultivating such soil and
what may be gained in the healthful con-
dition of the climate Western Rural
