Natural Enemies of the Telegraph.

There is, apparently, no apparatus so
liable to be interfered with bywhat we
may call natural causes as the electric
telegraph. Fish gnaw and mollusks
overweight and break the submarine con-
ductors of the subterranean wires; while
there is at least one instance of a frolic-
some whale entangling himself in Il
deep sea cable, to its utter disorganiza-
tion. 1t is stated that within the three
years ending 1878 there have been sixty
serious Interruptions to telegraphic COM
munication, in Sumatra, by elephants,
In one instance, these sagacious animals,
most likely fearing snares, destroyed II
considerable portion of the line, hiding
away the wires and insulators in II cane
brake. Monkeys of all tribe and sizes.
too, in that favored island, use the poles
and wires as gymnasia, occasionally
breaking them and carrying off the in
sulators; while the numerous tigers,
bears and buffaloes on the track render
the watching and repair of the line II
duty of great danger. In Australia,
where there are no wild animals to in
iure the wires, which are carried great
distances overland, they are said to be
frequently cut down by the scarcely less
wild aborigines, who manufacture from
them rings, armlets and other varieties
of barbaric ornament. 1t has been sug-
gested as means of protection in this
case that the posts should be cOnstruc-
ted of iron, when the battery could be
used to astonish any native climbing

Cabbage-Tree Ned's Story.

A writer in the Boston Commercial
Bulletin upon life in Australia relates
this yarn: One of the stories told me by
the driver as we jolted along had relation
to the depth of the mud which covered
the road. | have heard the same story
in various forms since, for Ned was in
the habit of telling it to every passenger
that he carried to the diggings. | have
also heard the same story assigned to a
California driver. No matter; | know
it was told to me by Cabbage-Tree Ned
in 1852.
"You see, young fellow" said he, Il
was driving along keeping well to the
right of the road where the mud was
shallowest, for l knew that l had a
heavy load which 'ud prevent the coach
from floating, and besides none % my
horses could swim. l had just got to
about where we are now when l noticed
what | thought was hat moving along
on the top of the mud just little ahead
o. me on my left.
81 could not make out what it was at
first, but at last l seed it was a hat and
l felt kind o. frightened. Not that I'd
be frightened at hat, but what l was
frightened at was that the hat was mov-
ing along in the same direction rs my
self without any visible means. Jingo
thinks l, now here's a go; what the
deuce can it be? By-and-bye l came up
abreast of it, and then got little ahead
of it. Then seed there was a face un-
der the hat-,jingo if it wasn't man.
Halo, friend, says l, "what are you
tramping through the mud in that way
forp Come along here, and I'll give yoI
lift in the coach"
What would / get into your coacl
horse ?" "And sure enough he was rid
ing a horse, for l saw the ears of tn,
animal just ahead of him sticking out o
the mud, but the horse, being tired, wa
swimming low; yes, the mud was yer.

Statistics for Girls.

A young English statistician who was
paying court to young lady, thought
to surprise her with his immense erudi-
ton. Producing his notebook, she
thought he was about to indite n love
sonnet, but was slightly taken aback by
the following question:
"How many meals do you eat n dayP"
"Why, three, of course; but of all the
oldest questions"
"Never mind, dear, III tell you all
about it in moment"
His pencil was rapidly at work. At
last, fOndly clasping her slender waist
"Now, my darling, rYe got it, and if
you wish to know how much has passed
through that adorable little mouth in
the last seventeen years, | can give you
the exact figures"
Goodness! Gracious! What can you
meanPn
"Now, Just listen" says he, and you
will hear exactly what you have been
obliged to absorb to maintain those
charms which are to make the happiness
Cfmy life.n
but | don't want to hear"
"Ah, you are surprised, no doubt, but
statistics are wonderful things"
Just listen. You are now seventeen
years old, so that in fifteen years you
have absorbed oxen or calves, 5; sheep
and lambs, ii; chickens, 397; ducks,
3O4; geese, u; turkeys, 100; game OF
various kinds, S2l; fishes, 100; eggs,

(baskets), 6O3; cheese, lO2; bread, cake,
etc, (in sacks of llour), 40; tea and collee
(cups), $4,000; water (gallOns), 5000. p"
At this the maiden revolted, and
jumping up, exclaimed:
Il think you are very impertinent,
and disgusting besides, and l will not
stay to listen to you!" upon which she
flew into the house.
He gazed after her with an abstracted
air and left, saying to himself:
"If she kept talking at that rate
twelve hours out of twenty-four, her

An Accommodating Artist.

The following story is told of Thomas
Hicks, the artist. The scene was Trcn-
ton Falls, n. Y, a summer or two ago.
Mr.. Hicks, who had been on a trouting
expedition, was approaching the inn
with n single large trout, which he in
tended to sketch, when a gentleman who
had just arrived with party of ladies,
noting his rough fisherman's costume,
took him for a servant of the house, and
called out: Here, my man, do you
know all about the falls?" "Yes, sir"
replied the artist. "Come, now, show
us the way there" Certainly The
artist led the way to the falls, and on the
way was so entertaining that the tourist
insisted on his going over the whole
route with him. At the close of the
journey he handed the artist a dollar,
and asked his name. "TOm," was the
reply. "Well, Tom, you are the most
intelligent guide / ever met, and ought
to be in better business. If you ever
come to New York call on me, and |
will try and help you" "Thank you,
sir,n said the artist, who had keenly en-
| joyed the situation, and had accepted the
| dollar rather than mortiiy the guest by
an explanation. Next day the guest
! told the landlord that he wanted 80 Sc

the landlord replied that no TON nwas

Farm Life.

Saw ye the farmer at his plow,
AS ye were riding by2
Or wearied meath the MONDAY toll,
When summer suns we're high?
And thought you that his lot was hard,
And did you thank your God
That you and yours were not condemned
Thus like slave to plod?
Come see him at his harvest home,
When garden, field and tree
Conspire with flowing store to fill
His barn and granery;
His beautiful children gayly sport
Amid the new-mown hay,
Or proudly aid with vigorous arm
His tasks as best they may.
The Harvest -Giver is his friend,
The Maker of the soil,
And earth, the mother, gives them bread,
And cheers their patient toll;
Come Join them around their winter
hearth,
The heartfelt pleasure sec
And you can better Judge how blest
The farmers lie may be.

Now rural maidens their tresses twlne
With fragrant buds of columbine.
And gleeiully DER hill and vale,
Lights floats the sweet and wandering gale!
Or while walk through meadows wide,
Or watch the rippling rivers tide,
Fresh odors, delicate and rare,
Perfume the warm and ambient air -

For thce-ior thee!
The glad earth throbs beneath thy feet
For thee, OIL, warm and dreamy summer!
While gleeful nature smiles to greet

The heavens rejoice in thy glad voice,
And winning grace,
Oh, soft, sweet sheeny hummer!
Late apple blooms with ardor blush
And cherries smile with tinted flush;
The peach tree buds are crimson red,
While tuneiul warblers pipe o'erhcad,
For thee, oh, fragrant, fruitful summer!

Makes merry drone in locust tree

And by its humming, it is showing
