 SAN FRANCISCO, February % About three o'clock this afternoon. the ferry steamers Fl Capitan and Alameda, plying between this city and Oakland Point, collided in mid passage. A dense fog prevailed and the boats touched each other before they could be seen. The bow of the Fl Capitan struck the Alameda on the port quarter, shattering her guard and rail, but dolng her no serious damage. The port bow of the Fl Capitan was crushed, and she filled and sunk rap idly. The greatest terror and confu- sion prevailed. There is great cx- citement in the city, and crowds are gathered on the streets discussing the news. Both steamers were ferry boats of the first class. The latest report is that no lives were lost.

Why He Wouldn't

! demwe looking deacon, sixty years
eff age, was walking slowly along a
country road before breakfast q morning
Of two ago, when he came across 4 small
boy who was calmly leaning against a
fence contemplating a pretty well loaded
apple tree. Tao boy SAW So much poetry
in the fruit that he was not awaIe OF the
presence Of the deacon until he said:
4" Fine apples. Ell, Bub0
"Yesr," responded the boy as he
wiped his face with his cap; "them's
BAldwin's, them is, and they looked good"
81 suppose you are awaiting a favor
able opportunity to get over the fence
and purloin some, are you notl" inquired
the sedate individual father gravely.

"Well, now, In, glad to hear that any

you that your heart was just bounding
with JOY at the prospect of snrreptitious-
" appropriating a bushel Of Baldwins,
but 1 am overjoyed to discover my error,

"No, sir; I'm villin, to take my

Tie Crying Youth.

The Philadelphia Times gives the fol-
lowing account Of one Of the favorite
swindIcs in that city:
There is a young man in the business
who has o reputation among the gang
that many OF the veteran swindlers
might envy. This is young West.
There are two of the family, father and
son. Charles West, tho son, is youth
i'll his twentior. An advertisement will
appear in the papers now and then,
probably to this effect:
"a lady desiring to leave the city
will dispose Of carriage and horses
cheap. Apply at -"
This is young Vests dodge lie and
his ''pals" have an old darkey and q
livery suit which they can always slip
him into at the shortest possible
notice. The above advertisement catches
the eye of some one who wants coach
and team. he applies at the place. No
one is visible but young West and the
old darkey in livery and rckcty coach
and PAR of 'd)cto Ell horses The
would-bc purchaser is surprised to see
young West in tears. A third party
will appear Mt the proper moment and
begin to lecture him on his weakness.
Then he will blubber out all the more,
and go up and foudle the horses rs
though his heart WAS breaking. The
long and short of the story is that he
will, il this manner, impress The
stranger powerfully with the strength
Of his attachment for those two fine
horses and his sorrow that they are to
be sacrificed ats no use now" his
'pal" will unfeelingly admonish him;
"the horses must be sold, and what's the
use of giving away about it You
know your mother needs the money.
She must have the money, and what's
the difference if the horses 60 into good
hands q
If, by hook or crook, they can succeed
in thrusting the old trumpery on the
strangers hands at a price that repre-
sents ten times the value of the whole,
their end is accomplished. 1t is consid-
cred strange that after so much exposure
of the operations of these men there
should still remain people who can be
taken in by them. Almost every day
they get their clutches on somebody
The action Of the Chief of Police in or
dering their pictures to be put in the
Rogue's Gallery may make them more
cautious, but whether it will stop their
operations or not time must show.

High-Priced Corn.

Until within few years the old com
mon law rale prevailed in North Caro-.
lima by which the robbery CT orchards
Or the theft of growing grain was not II
larceny, but merely a trespass, and, as
such, not an indictable ofcnse. The
p.alhcr might catch the freedman clan
destineIy picking cotton from his fields,
but the law gave him no redress for the
grievance, rs his only recourse was in a
civil suit for damages, which could re
salt at best merely in an idle and empty
Judgment, the costs falling on the pros
ecutor. The absurd operation OF the
rule was strikingly shown in case
where an old woman was indicted for
stealing three roasting ears from corn
field. If she had deliberately pluckei
them from the stalks she would have
gone clear but She alleged that she went
into the field as Il matter Of Kindness 70
the owner to drive out SOME swine that
had broken in, and that while there she
picked from tie ground some ears which
the hogs had knocked off BY this sev
GRANGE the ears Of corn lost their "sayor
of the realty and became personality"
and were subject Of larceny. She was
accordingly found guilty and sent to the
county Jail for six months. That was
two months for each ear of corn. Phil

Blushlng and Turning Pale.

Blushing is occasioned by sudden dila
tation Of the small blood-yossels, which
form fine network beneath the skin,
and when they admit an increased vol
ume Of red blood cause the surface TO ap-
pear sufused with color Blanching is
the opposite state, in which the vessels
contract and squeeze out their blood, so
that the skin Is seen OF its bloodloss hue.
The change effected in the size Of the
vessels is brought about an instantane-
Gus action Of the nervous system. This
acion may be induced by thought, or,
unconsciousy, 10y the operation Of i'm,
pressions producing the phenomenon
habitually. In q word, blushing, may
become q habit, aud is then beyond the
control of the will, except in SO far as
the will can generally, if not always,
conquer any habit. 1t is almost always
useless, and certainly seldom worth while,
to strive to cure habit Of this class
directly. The most promising course is
to try to establish Il new habit which
shall destroy the one it has desired to
remedy For example, if blushins is, as
generally happens, associated with self
consciousness, We must establish the sway
Of the will over that part of the nervous
system which controls the size of the
vessels by calling up II feeling opposed
to self-consciousness. 1t is through the
mind these nerves are influenced. Then
influence them in contrary direction by
antagonizing the emotion associated with
blanching. Thus, il the feeling which
causes the blushing be expressible by the
thought, "Here am | in false and hui
initiating position" oppose, or still better,
anticipate and prevent that thought by
thinking, "There are you daring to pity
or feel contempt for another" Avoid
going on to think what "other' is, be-
cause tue aim must be to eliminate self.
Constitute yourself the champion of some
one, any one, and everybody who may
be pitied, and the everzealous and indig
nant foe of those who presume to pity.
Most persons who blush with self-con-
sciousness blanch with anger, and this
artificial state of mock anger will soon
blanch the face enough to prevent the
blush. 1t only requires practice in the
control of the emotions and the produc-
ton of peculiar states at will-the sort
Of exper:ness required by actors and
actresses-to secure control of these sur
face phenomena. Blushing and blanch-
ing are antagonisiic states, and may be
employed to counterfeit each other, con-
troll of the physical state Of the blood
vessels being obtained through the emo
tons with which they are associated.--

Remedy for q Great Evil.

One needs to give lat passing
glance at the windows q most Of cur
periodical stores in order 10 learn how
corrupting is the influence 81 much Of
the newspaper and other literature Of
fered there for sale. such IS the nor
bid craving Of many fer such pern.cio.s
reading that in one New Eng and city,
that numbers Of boys AMI girls,
we are told, meet the weekly bundle Of
papers at the depot and procure their
copies there rather than wait to obtain
them from the stores. There IS one
way to check, if not eradicate, this RAP
idly growing evil. Let all Christians
and all decent people stop patronizing
stores which sell such literature, stating
their reason for stopping. Let them in
sist, even at great inconvenience, if
need be, upon reform. This, we believe
will prove very practical and effective
means Of reform.

Norwegian Fisheries.

An abundance of Goldfish has been
caught this year on the Norwegian coasts,
quite fourth above the average. The
number Of suitable fish taken amounted
to 100000 The most central and
important point Of the fisheries is at the
Lofodcn Archipelago, composed of nine
principal islands, and terminating on the
southwest in the dangerous gulf Of the
Niaelstrom. Three thousand vessels,
manned by 10000 sailors, annually take
part in this enterprise among the wild
regions mentioned, where the islands
and iords form regular labyrinths. Nets
and lines are used, together with open
boats. Another large fishing station is
at Finnarken, Inhabited by the Fins and
wandering Laplanders, where l7,500,-
900 fish have been caught this year, as
against 100000 in 1873.
