WaterspOuts on the Sound.
Nav York Sun

Wilbur Hammond and DR.. j. Mears,
of fGreenport, L. l., describe an ex traOr-
dinary phenomenon which they wit
messed while on the sound shore oppo-
site that village, on q recent occasion.
Their attention was ut first attracted
by what seemed te be an unusual dis
turbance Oh tho surface of the water
directly under heavy cloud coming
from windward, the wind blowing
heavily from the northwest, and =
heavy surf rolling. The top of tho
waves assumed the spirally ascending
motion peculiar to waterspOuts, which
increased until the elevation was up
ward of fifty feet before the water
took the cloud form. This was fol-
lowed by a second, about . mile off
shore, similar to the first, but consid-
erably larger, its height, judging from
the angle of elevation, being nearly q
thousand feet. The top of this also
resolved into q fog or mist directly
under the cloud. Then, at a distance
Of about four miles, third ono was
plainly discernible, which seemed to
meet the sky at the rear of the cloud,
and which must have covered an area
of several acres. All three of these
spouts were moving with the wind,
and the first or smallest one subsidized
to the water level only q few rods
from the beach. Immediately therc
was a sharp dash of rain, followed by
a nail squall, as tho disturbing cloud
passed over, and when this subsided
SO thata view of the sound could again
be obtained the waterspouts had dis
appeared. So far as known, these wore
the only waterspOuts ever seen in tho
sound.

ago this dog jack took q trip west

travels He has visited all tho princi-
pal cities Oh the line OF the American
Express Company, and only few
days ago was heard from in st. Louis,
Mo. Jack is certainly most saga
cious dog, and his method of travelling
Is really curious. On ono occasion he
jumped into one of the company's
transfer wagons, and on arriving
alongside the car in the yard sneaked
in and hid himself behind the freight,
and In that manner enjoyed ride to
New York. On arriving at the me-
tropolis he got lost, and, spying an
express wagon, followed it some four
miles, until he finally reached the Of
flee on Hudson street. He was re-
turned to this city, and then started
on al extended trip west. When llo

ately seeks the car and visits another,
and in this manner he has Travelled for
nearly two years. When At his home
in Albany he was very punctusl In his
Office hours, and every evening at six
o'clock reported ready for duty. Aft

The Bombay Twins.

There is at present In Bombay liv-
ing object that may rightly be classed
among the most curious phenomena of
nature. AT home in MazagOn may
be seen pair of female twins, sepa-
rate i'll every respect but from the
breast-bone to the lower part of the
abdomen, which is closely Joined. The
upper breast of each infant is closely
joined into the other, the outer skin
covering both trunks. The twins
are joined front to front; shoulders.
arms, lower limbs and feet perfectly
formed, and development healthy,
while the heads are we'll shaped and
the faces really pretty, with beautif
eyes, large and bright. The twins
are six months old, and in perfect
health, and measure twenty inches in
height, one appearing in but very
triiling degree, larger than the other.
Both have vigorous appetites, and
take kindly to the feeding-bott are
extremely lively and appear good
tempered. The pulses beat in unison;
they generally fall asleep or keep
awake together, and their actions aro
usually simultaneous, though some-
times one would cry while the other
was quietly drawing at the mouth
piece of its bottle. The strangely
united pair was born at Dapoli, in the
Rutnagherry Collcctorate, the father
being Mohammedan and a seafaring
man, while the mother had beside a
pretty little daue hter about 10. The
infants feed separately, each having
bottle to itself, and draw vigorously
at their nourishmcnt. This same doc
tor also declared it would be impossi-
BILE to separate them without extin-
gushing life. The twins have, up to
this time, never grown i'll, and, to ev-
cry appearance, are likely to grow up.

of the mine, which was about five
thousand shares, and which cost mo
about $4,000. My friends all came to
see ME, like the cOmfortcrs Of old Job,
and said: Flood, you're cracked;' but
thought l had q good mine. They
didn't see how 1 was going to get at
tho ore, if there was any there, with
out sinking the shaft, which would
cost heap of money but did. A

The Poor Clerks Of London.
LOAdOn Standard.


The reason given by another clerk
he belonged was curious. He said
that the enormous influx of Germans
into the country had lesscncd the price
of clerks labor. "They actually offer
to come," said he, "for months with
out any salary at all, if it is agreed
at the end of that time they shall have
ESQ or f70 year for their work. They
live mostly in the north of London,
and walk to their work. What they
eat at home don't know; but in tho
city here they go to alamode-beef
shops, where they can get = plate of
thick stew or a small piece Of corned
beef for six pence, and that, with some
bread and \ glass Of water, is sufficient
for them. They can even get sauer-
kraut for two pence, and some of them
eat that only and bread. Many Of
them club together in twos, and even
threes, for one bedroom in Ellington,
and there live at the rate of three shil-
lings a week apiece.
"YOu see they possess great advan-
tage over English clerks. They know
German naturally; English they havo
learned, and some of them speak
French. English clerks as q rule only
know their own language. Tho en-
ployers find that Germans can keep
accounts just as we'll as Englishmen,
that they will not object to work a.
late or early as may be requested, ,eand
that they want next to nothing in tho
shape of salary. These are great con-
siderations, especially in hard times,
and those who have large Offices can
not overlook them. Then, again, with
the exception of head clerks, the work
which shippers, merchants, and brok-
ers' clerks have to do is worry easy, and
really not worth large pay, 1t might
almost always be done by nero lads.' -

A citizen whose best weight never
exceeds 120 pounds, was the other day
buying a couple of hens of farmer
on the market, and before the bargain
was any where near concluded the two
became quite friendly, and the farmer
said he had sonnet thing OH his mind to
communicate. One Of his boys had a
passion for theatricals and was desi-
rous of becoming an actor. The idea
was SO strong i'll him that he had be-
come worthless around the farm, and
the father was in q peck of trouble to
know how to turn the boys attention
from the fOOt-lights to the plow- -han-
dies.
"S'posc I send him to you, and s'pose
you make fun and ridicule him and let
him see how foolish it is?" suggested
the father, and the citizen agreed. AS
the result Of their planning the boy
walked into the citizens place of busi-
ness, on Congress street east, the next
morning. The father had called him a
boy, but he weighed about 16O pounds,
stood nearly six feet high, and had a
pair of hands as large as chrome of
the Yosemite Valley. His arrival was
expected and after q few words about

s A Sheep Farm In Georgia.

A writer in the Atlanta Constitu-
tfon says that III 1871 he bought 40O
acres of reputed poor land in Glynn
county, GA, and put upon it 100 sheep.
In 1873, by natural increase, he had
$40 ewes and had sent to market 73
wethers. His sheep were penncd night
ly, and every two nights manured a
half acre we'll. Since that time he
has brought into a high state of culti-
vation 100 acres of land that seven
years ago was considered worthless.
Since 1871 he has bought 200 sheep,
and now owns about 1900 head. He
keeps a shepherd, who Is paid to at
tend to his business and keeps book
account of every dollar and dime spent
OH the sheep, and finds, by casting up
a balance sheet, that it costs him OK
actly 75c per head per annum to keep
his flock. They average him about 81
pounds Of wool each. Last year he
clipped in May aud again in Septem-
Der, and the clip amounted to five and
half pounds per head. Last year he
sold in Savannah and Macon 5000 lbs.
of wool, at an average of thirty cents
per pound, including q few pounds of
Merino wool. which makes tho gross
receipts $2,97O. Tho annual expense
Of the flock was 81 ,O26. So there was
an absolute net profit in the wool of
81 ,664. Last year he sold in the above
cities ninety-tWo wethers as mutton
for $342, making q total of s., ,OO6. Be-
sides this, he has fertilized the poor
wire grass lands SO that last year he
cultivated eighty -four acres, and from
forty-onc acres in corn he made an
average OF t!nirty-one bushels; ten in
sugar-calie that made fifty-six barrels
OF syrup; fifteen in oats that averaged
bushels to the acre, and ON
the remainder an abundance of all
kinds of truck farming, receiving for
