COMMENTING on the steamboat dis

nigh unaccountable that persons who
ordinarily behave themselves with So
briefly should when in crowd become
fairly insane in their desire to get to a
particular place ahead of their neigh
bors. The commonest dictates of pru.
ie ice, all rules and regulations for the
a::ty of the person, and even the fear
of bodily injury or death, are thrown to
the winds when crowd gathers to catch
a railroad train or a boat. It often
seems as if pleasure seekers deliberately
preferred to be killed to being left. Tht

AN improved torpedo of the White
head or fish pattern has been tested at
the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and been
sent to Portsmouth for course of sea
trials. 1t is capable of a high rate of
speed and maintains its velocity for a
considerable range. It is also cheaper,
and as each torpedo costs about $3.50,
this is considerable advantage. The
purchase of the secret from Mr.. White
head costs the British government, with
the Improvements altogether, So, $50, 900.
Many attempts have, of course, been
made to discover the secret of manufac
ture, and in one instance the authorities
were outwitted by respectable looking
man, who informed the officials that he
had invented an improvement in the
propeller, and induced them to allow
him to take away part of the machinery.

a correspondent Of the Salem ler

gend: Once upon time, long,
long while ago, when the country was
almost bowling wilderness, and there
were but few civilized settlements,
there dwelt away off 10 the upper
country hunter whose name was Rem
ben. Now Reuben was a picture OF
manly beauty, well-formed, muscular,
bold brave and courageous, but he
was very ignorant, 40 ignorant that
lie couldn't spell Constantinople, or
even name one If the ancient kings Of
Egypt. There also dwelt, on the op.
posits side Of the valley, a most love
ly Indian maiden, whose name was
Wonita. She, with all her beauty,
was about as bad oil as Reuben, Tor
she conldn't spell Constantinople, llei.
thor had she heard OF Noahs ark.
Well, Ruhe would stand under the
hemlock, aheming to his Wonita, and
the lovely maiden sat under q pine
tree, pining for Ilr Rnbe; 80 in due
course OF time they were married
things went on very well for a while,
until one day Rnbc had tirstclass
row with his father in.law, aud the
mighty lnjnn got outraged at kube's
s'lip,n and seized a tomahawk and
scalped him. aud poor Rube was laid
away in the valley. Wonita felt her
loss terribly. She refused 70 be com
forted, but sat by the hillside day and
night, shedding bitter tears ct deep
sorrow and anguish. Her loud wall
ing was heard for miles around rever-
beraling through the forests, until
evch the wild beasts responded with
sympathetic echo. The tear drops
grew bigger and bigger, and fell fast
CT and faster; they rolled along ths
hillside and down IN the valley below
they gathered and swellel, and finally
rolled on and on far down the valley
and kept "a swelling and rolling un
