A Steel Corvette.

The Berlin correspondent of the Lon
don Standard says: "The German adj
miralty are now building q corvette at
Dantzic, the body of which is to be ex-
clusively of steel. Vessels so constructed
will be Of much greater speed than those
plated with iron, which, moreover has
been proved useless against the newest
heavy projectiles. The keel-tiers were
a day or two ago completed and connect
ed. The frames and steel plates for the
ships bottom are also ready, the material
having been supplied by the Cute Hoff-
nung's foundry, in Oberhausen, in a con-
dition ready for working. The steel
plates were bent while cold, rolled under
the hydraulic press, and, as q test, ex-
posed to the blow of a heavy ball drop
ped from q height of IA meters. The
metal is of the finest quality. Each
plate is made larger than requisite, that
the surplus portions may be well proved
before delivery. Lightness being the
chief desideratum, no heavy wood will be
used. The stem and stern, each in q sin
gle piece, are of wrought iron, from the
establishment of Messrs. Krupp. The
dimensions are restricted to q length of
II meters, a breadth of I'D meters;
the displacement in the front, 5.33
meters; behind, 60 meters; and in the
middle, 6.01 meters. These figures may
be thought to promise no great speed,
particularly considering the relation of
the length to the breadth. A glance,
however, at the lines of the submerged
portion, as shown on the model, justify
the expectation of unusual mobility.
There will be a double bottom, and the
vessel will be divided into niue water
tight compartments. She viii be mount
ed with ten guns, namely, six on board,
two in the bow, and two in the stern.
The rigging will be that of a full ship,
the lower masts of iron, and the top
masts of Hungarian pine wood. Should
the new corvette answer expectations it
may be anticipated that future shipswin
be constructed of the same material,
iron-plating being abolished"

A Story OF Horace Greeley.

tCharies i. Dorryden IN New YORK Tr1oune,J
I happened to witness one interview
which wal sufficiently amusing. A wild
ow, or at least a woman in black, wanted
to 60 somewhere, Or set up a school, or
start a mission in some far away region
of Africa, or do something for sewing
girls-never mind what! Mr.. Greeley,
who was up to his eyes in work, repeat
edly told her to go away, and kept on
writing. But going away was the last
thing the petticoated philanthropist pro-
posed to do. She kept on talking, and
Mr.. Greeley kept on writing as well as he
could until Mt last in sheer desperation,
he rushed to the speaking tube which
led to the counting-room, and bawled
querulously through it, as for
Gods sake, send me up five dollars!"
The money came up; and having thrust
il into her hand, and resolutely discour-
aged the long speech of thanks which
she instantly began to make, Mr.. Greeley
half bowed and half put her out Of the
little room and went back to his work
with a complacent smile Illuminating his
excellent face. He had purchased his
time and he had paid a pretty good price
for IL.

Haifa.

The German colony of Haifa, founded
about ten years ago, occupies a strip of
land between mount Carmel and the
Mediterranean sen, about q mile from
Caiffa. The houses are substantially
built of limestone, and the streets are
degularly laid out, adorned with a double
row of shade trees. The motive for
founding this colony, a well as its three
sister colonies at Jaffa, Sharon, and
Jerusalem, rests upon faith in the words
Of prophecy. The society which under
took the work is denominatedthe "Tem-
pie" and the center of the organization
is in Wurtemburg. 1t has branches in
the United States, in Russia, and in
Switzerland. The immediate aim is to
give q good example to the natives by
founding Christian communities, work
ing for the elevation of the people and
country. This colony of Haifa numbers
about $50 inhabitants, mostly German,
with some German-Americans and Bus
SLAMS, and q few Swiss. It is provided
with good schools. The colonists carry
on various trades and industries, but the
greater part of the people occupy them
selves with agriculture and vintage, hav-
ing about $50 acres Of land.

Pruning Fruit!Trees.

Yes, we are at it with all the force we
can command. But to carefully prune
from six to eight thousand peach, pear,
ounce, apple, plum and cherry trees
requires much time and patience. But
the success of f~ruit-growing so largely
depends upon judicious pruning that we
dare not trust It to unskilled hands, nor,
in fact, to any hands unless we IN with

Roasted to Death by the Sun.

DR.. Schweinfurth, in a lecture which
he recently delivered at the Berlin Geo
graphical society on the subject of his
latest explorations in Central Africa,
gave his hearers a thrilling account of the
mode in which capital punishment is in
ficted upon criminals by the Al-Quadjis,
O small tributary off-shoot of the great
and powerful Diour people. The male
factor condemned to die is bound to a
post firmly driven into the ground in
some open place where no trees afford q
shade, and is there slowly roasted to
death-not by any means involving q
waste of fuel, but by the natural heat of
the suns rays as they reach our earth in
its equatorial regions. To protract his
sufferings and to avert his too speedy
end by s~unstroke, the ingenious Al
Quadjis cover their erring compatriot's
head with fresh green leaves, which
effectually seal his brain from Phebus'
darts. No such protection is, however,
accorded to his body, which gradually
dries up, shrinks together, and ultimate
ly becomes carbonized. One chance of
salvation is open to the roasting m IN,
while al yet he is completely "done to
DEATH" If q cloud pass between the sun
and his place of torment he is immedi-
ately cast loose from his place of tor
ment and becomes the object of popular
reverence, us a mighty magician in whose
behalf the supernatural powers have
deigned directly to intervene. But
clouds seldom interfere with the admin
istration Of justice on the days chosen
for public executions by the A-Quadjis
authorities; ut least, that appears to be
DIR. Schweinfurth's experienced of African
weather as far as it bears upon the
iudicial roasting of m~alefactors.

Early PearS.

The author of Thomas Fruit CtlLtur-
list and editor of the horticultural de-
partment of the Country Gentleman,
describes a few early pears as follows:
Madeline.-T pear ripens late in
July or early in August and long held
the position among the old sorts as the
earliest good variety. Although larger
than the Summer Doyenne, it has been
mostly superseded by it, as being not 80
productive and reliable.
Buerre Giffard is one of the best and
by some regarded as the very best of all
the early pears. If the tree was as
handsome a grower as the Tyson instead
of being slender and crooked, it would
stand very high in popularity.
Rostiezer is popular, Of excellent
quality and great productiveness al
though small. Ripe late in August.
Tyson, like the last named, is well
known and popular. 1t makes a fine
and large growth, and although it is a
tardy bearer but productive when the
tree becomes older, the fruit is excellent.
Ripens late in August.
Among other early pears, Manning's
Elizabeth is an excellent small variety,
ripening late in summer; Osbank's Sum-
mer, a good medium-sized fruit, two or
three weeks earlier; Dearborn's Seeding
and Bloodgood, old and excellent pears,
slightly earlier still, and Brandywine, O
variable but usually excellent late sum-
mer variety.
The Bartlett and Clapp's Favorite, the
former an old European variety and the
most popular in this country of all pears,
and the latter rapidly coming into favor
az a market sort, are early autumn fruits.
