eyes in all directions. But they
didn't see any eggs The nests

turn to give his friends surprise,
which he did by quickly dipping .
cup into one of the nests and COM

The next night, as CULVER and
Crusoe were having a quiet game Of
smut" in the cabin, the vessel ex.
perienced sudden shock, splitting
the players, the table and the cards
all over the cabin. Recovering
themselves, they rushed on deck,
when they discovered that Friday
had gone to sleep while on watch,
and that the vessel had collited
with burning iceberg. This ac-
cident filed Robinson Crusoe and
Friday with fear; but CULVER was
equal to the occasion, this being q
common occurrence with him dur
ing his travels in these waters; and
as it was now his turn to surprise
his friends, he cast couple of har-
poems into the blazing mass, and
towed it to the nearest port, where
they sold it for hot ice cream. oGI
The vessel having been slightly
damaged by the collision, they re-
turned to jacksonville, where she

For the FARMER.1
q GREAT CULVER.
BY ALDINE.

Once upon time, as CULVER,
the great travelling agent, was qui-
city cruising along the coast in the
neighborhood of Cape Horn, he
thought he saw smoke arising from
one of the adjacent islands, and he
at once appointed himself as an in
vestigating committee, to ascertain
whether the place was inhabited or
not. Cautiously approaching the
island, he discovered two figures
sitting beside Il smaH camp fire,
whom he soon recognized us his old
friends, Robinson Crusoe and Fri
day. He Immediately landed and
was soon at home with them. 1t
vas "hail fellow we'll met" for his
two friends were growing tired of
the solitary life they had been COM
PEELED to lead for SO many yeas,
isolated as they were from the rest
of the world.
CULVER, whose objective point
was the South Pole, made propo-
sition that they should accompany
him, and as the holidays were ap-
preaching, they agreed to go with
him, and the next day they startad
on their perilous journey. All went
we'll until terrible storm at sea
compelled them to seek an harbor
of safety, which tley accomplished
after much difficulty, and when
they landed they found themselves
in wild, deserted country, in the
extreme southern portion of South
America. The country was densely
covered with trees, which Friday at
once recognized as the cocoa. Pro-
visions being scarce, they hailed
this discovery with pleasure, for
when their supplies were exhausted
they could live on cocoa nuts until
the storm was ended. But a diff
Guilty here presented itself, for they
found that an army of monkeys had
taken possession of the trees, and
they would have to fight for their
rations. They resolved to advance,
however, and Crusoe, armed with
rifle and umbrella, took the lead.
The monkeys Immediately COM
menced to pelt them, not with
cocoa nuts, but with large, fiat,
round looking missiles, which fell
so thick and fast as to threaten to
engulf them, and literally bury
them alive. They found that they
were rapidly becoming submerged,
and began to feel uneasy, when
Crusoe, prompted by curiosity,
caught one of the flying objects in
his umbrella, aud proceeded to ex-
anime it. An exclamation of de-
light brought CULVER and Friday
to his side, when he impaired to
them the result of his Investigation,
which Immediately silenced their
fears. The animals were having a
feast, and on the approach of the
strangers, had endeavored to van
quish them with cocoa nut pies.
As soon as they discovered this,
they turned to retire, but found
that they were SO completely sur
rounded with cocoa nut pie that
their tracks had disappeared, and
they had to eat their way out.
They camped near the beach that
night. and the next morning they
were awakened by the continuous
growing and cackling of an immense
number of chickens in the neigh
boring woods. Visions of fried eggs
and chicken stew hurried them up

FELLOW CITIzENs-We enter tonight
upon the last week of canvass which
will be memorable as it has been un.
precedented in the political annals of
the State. 1t is struggle in which, for
the first time in the history of any great
commonwealth of the Union, the worst
elements of all political organizations
have broken through party lines, and
united their strength in order to control
all departments of the Government,
Tammany Hall has been for dozen
years the bane of good government in
this city and State. It's leader, advanc'
ing from despotism here to domination
in the State, to make the Democracy OF
the State it's slave, and strike its nobest
leader, was met and fatally wounded at
Syracuse. Holding fast to the cause OF
Cornell in shameless barter of principle
by both, he limps into political oblivion.
From such company even Conkling now
shrinks- ashamed of his offspring and
is silent. The Cabinet of Hayes has
turned wet.nurse for the child of tbN
Custom House, sired by the Insurance
Ring at Albany. The desperation of
their cause has forced them to pitiable
spectacle. On the 3lst day of January,
this year, the President Of the United
States, in a message to Congress, said
that with a deep sense of his obligation
to take care that the laws be faithfully
executed" he deemed it his plain
duty to remove Mr.. Cornell, 30 that
the Naval Office might be honestly and
efficiently administered" and now have
come two of his Cabinet officers to the
city of New York to tell the people of
this State, in this same year, that this
same incapable officer should be put in
control of the first State Of the Federal
Union. Secretary Sherman, in excuse
for so audacous an insult to the people
of State that was in the Union when
his own State was a bowling wilderness,
says: ut is the cause and not the man."
That is, that it is necessary to the Repub-
lican party that our four and a half mil
lions of people, and this chief city of our
land, should for three years be saddled
with a dishonest and incapable admins
tration. If l properly understand the
public spirit and political virtue of the
people among whom have been born
and reared, they will notify the Cabinet
of Mr.. Hayes on Tuesday next that they
want honest and capable rulers; that
they have tried LuCius Robinson and
know him to be such ruler, and that
they know how to govern themselves
without the aid Of men who have no
honest title to their own Offices.

In the course of the next five years a
vast amount of British capital will find
its way to this country, where branches
of English business houses will be es-
tablished, while in many cases the main
business will be transferred here. We
see this to-day in New York, where
shops are constantly being established
by Englishmen. The great dry goods
houses are largely represented by them
The English capitalist, feeling an abso
lutte security in our public finances, will
more and more pour those boards which
he is at his wits end to know how to IN.
vest into associations conducted by his
own COuntrymen here, and the benefit
will accrue to both countries. The pre-.
sent troubles in England will thus tend
to bind even closer the commercial in
tefests of the two countries. English
men alIeady own large possessions in the
West, and every year will see the num-
ber of proprietors increase. Within
very few years there will be daily mail
to England.-M. Y. Sun.

MORE ABOUT RAILWAY SPEED

The daily express mail train from
London to Holyhead makes the distance,
268 miles, in four and half hours, be-
ing at the speed of little more than
fifty-nine miles an hour, stoppage in.
cuded. The distance between New
York and Boston is 228 miles, and the
fastest train makes it in six hours and
twenty minutes, or thirty.six miles an
hour, stops included. But most of the
trains oCcupy from eight to nine hours.
In this wide country, where railroad en-.
gineering exhibits such great triumphs,
it would seem as if we ought to be able
to run trains between our important
cities as fast as the Britishers do. If
we had a Holyhead express between
New York and Washington, the time of
transit would be reduced nearly one
half, to.wit, to three hours and forty
minutes. This would enable passengers
to leave New York in the morning
have an entire official day before the
in Washington, or attend
a session Of Congress, and still be home
in time for the evening tea.-Scientfc
