The Directory.

A writer in Chicago says: @ I meet the directory canvasser on my rounds, and occasionally pluck few interesting secrets out of him. A weary, wayworn wanderer he is at best, but this year he is full of unspeakable trouble. Its tough work, he remarked, swabbing the precipitation from his brow, tough, tough work to get the people to give up.' Give up what?' I said. Give up anything said he; why, do you know there are whole rows of good fam flies that try in every way to dodge away from us, and when they can't dodge us they go to the company and almost go on their knees to have the1r addresses kept out,' What's the object ? quoth l. 'Blest if I know, says he, but I can tell you I have just been offered, right here on Ohio street, by lady, a $10 bill to keep her husbands address out of the directory. Maybe the hus- bands in debt, or they're afraid of their granger cousins swarming in upon them at the conventions. Don't know, of course, all the reasons, but know it's like drawing eye-teeth to get name out of them. They make me feel like per sonal-tax man. I've got to fish up neighbors all the time, and poke into family secrets like detective'"

The Advance Guard.

Looking from our sanctum window, says the Cincinnati Saturday Night, as a procession with music and banners is passing along the street by the esplanade, we cannot help thinking, what would a procession be without the attending es- cort of boys? Did you ever see pro- cession with no boys leading the advance or following along by the side of it 1? Never, unless it was funeral procession. But there is no other procession that he doesn't take stock in. = His proudest position is right alongside of the drum major, and he would feel that luck from that gorgeous parsonage or thump from his staff with the big, gilded knob, would be the highest honor he could receive. The next most desirable position is next to the man vino blows the bass-drum, which he will hold for squares at the im- minent risk of having his brains knocked out by the big drum-stick. And you can't tire the boys out, either, no matter how protracted the march may be. A few may lag along the line, cheerfully tripping up soldier now and then, but their places are quickly filled up at the head of the column. There they go, some white, some black, some barefooted, some without jackets and others bare headed. They are irrepressible, and it doesn't do any good for the marshal to shake his sword at them and order them away, or for policemen to threaten. They are the self-appointed advance guard of the procession, and cannot be discharged or dispersed.

 From Maine comes the following letter, which certainly seems to point at an easy way of, destroying Canada thistles, and perhaps some other trouble some plants, which are not easily killed by ordinary, means. "I commenced farming, in 1840, on land abounding, in certain places on the farm, with Canada missiles. One dull day, when they were and the rain compelled me To leave Ibeff65fse I finished the job, but I finished 1t after the rain. The next year I noticed that, where moved before the rain, but few started, while on the remainder of the bed full crop sprang up. Several ex- periments gave similar results: In 1850 I bought "a farm, where,i in fields, pastures, yards and along the roadside, there was frank growth of them Within ten years I subdued them, excepting along the roadside, where small stones prevented moving close. My theory is that the rain, entering the hollow stalk, destroys vitality" ., .., ..-....-

THE FIRST WOMAN. N.-Highland Mining

THE FIRST WoMAN.-Highland Mining Camp in Colorado, has been thrown into great excitement by the arrival of 8 "genuine female woman," the first that ever brought civilization to the town. Travel had roughened her complexion, but she was a. lovely vision none the less, and with twenty-five pounds of flour on her shoulder, followed her husband, who carried an infant in his arms and pack of goods on his back. The. miners at once called meeting in honor of the &C., quisition of a real family, and told the wife to choose the block in town she liked best, and it should be hers even if buildings were already erected on it.

Terrific Balloon Adventure,

The French aeronauts, Messrs. Gasta, Pommariol, Gauthier and Perron, mar roWly escaped destruction while making scientific excursions in the clouds this week. They left fingers at six clock in the evening duly equipped They were Tn high spirits and for a time all went well. As night came on and they made preparations to descend terrific storm arose. The balloon swept on with re- slstless force over miles and miles of country, until, to their horror, the aero nauts suddenly saw the lights of Nantes m the distance. Beyond lay the inn 'as.a1asa. a sombre ocean. They at once saw that they must uesccrrc- rzrzsSn-- ards or perish. Opening the valve they came down with tremendous run, and in one minute they actually struck the earth no less than six times. Each time, the balloon rebounded like an indiarub- Der ball to the tremendous height of over two hundred feet The travellers chung tenaciously to the ropes, uttered not single word, but grimly prepared for death. At last the silence was broken by M. Gauthier, who exclaimed, My legs are broken p The balloon swept on dragging over the ground, which it regularly plowed up wherever it passed. At last the aeronauts were seen by some peasants, who hastened to their assis- tance and with great difficulty extricated them from the wreck. The balloon, thus frightened, rose and once more dashed in- to the Forest of La Rocheservieres, where it went to pieces.
 NM. Gasta and Pommaris were no sooner on terra firma than they tainted. All of the four travellers were more or less injured, but they are happily now out of danger.

BORROWING A SHIP.

At the pump on the common tney were filling the last of the water-casks with the name "Atlantic" on them, and, getting glimpse between the houses, saw that the ship had her sails bent and lying slowed on the yards like so many streaks of snow, so that she would probably go down the river in a day or two.
 There was no time to lose; and step- ping into the office where Captain Will der himself happened to be at the time, I made the best bargain could-putGng i. down my name on the whaleman's paper for the one hundred and seventy fifth lay"
 This meant that was to have 8 one hundred and seventy-fifth part of all the oil taken
 The ship was three hundred and fifty tons, and would stow about twenty seven hundred barrels.
 When we got to sea, I found that the Atlantic had a queer medley of hands on the main deck; but as this was my first voyage, I did not realize how greatly in this respect she differed from merchant man.
 I had reached my sixteenth birthday only week before we sailed, and was the youngest person on board.
 We had all manner of greenhorns s- fellows who had never thought of going to sea until within the last fortnight-a lawyer fleeing from wkisky-a farmer ruined by hard cider and mortgages; 8 book-agent, an essence-peddler, dilapi- dated schoolmaster minister's son, put on board by the despair of his parents; and two or three boys of eighteen or nineteen, just out of @ reform school.
 Officers and all, we numbered twenty three, the Atlantic being three-boat ship, with six men for each boat, and five to remain on board the vessel when all the boats were down.
 The ship -keeper-the man who has command in the absence of the captain and his mates a jolly, fat old fel- low named Smith, who had been pri- vateersman, @ man-of-war' 's-man, and everything else which a man can be before the mast
 He would almost have broken down a topgallant-yard with his merry bulk, could he have mounted so high; but as it was he very seldom went aloft-con- tenting himself with throwing his great mass of jelly upon fore or main tack, as we were riding it down, or with grasp ing brace, or halyard, or buntline, in a manner that spoke for itself.
 Smith kept log, and it was done in ship-shape style, too. Sometimes he brought it up from the steerage-for it is in the steerage, in company with the boat-steerers, that the ship-keeper always bunks-and this was my first opportunity of seeing whaleman's log. 5 Afterwards I learned that they are Z always kept in the same manner. The courses and weather were recorded day by day, and on the margin, opposite the account of those days on which we had seen whales, appeared the picture of a leviathan, struck with an linked stamp.
 If we had secured the prize, then the cut showed figures in its centre, made with pen. corresponding with the num- Der of barrels of oil produced; and the

A SERv1cEABIE CLUB.-The editor of the Philadelphia Transcript had sent to his office during his absence, nicely rolled in paper and directed to that per son, huge hickory stick with the fol lowing comments: "I see you adver- tise if anybody will send you club you will send them paper. As I don't know what you want of it unless it is to knock down subscribers as don't pay, I hope you will have good luck in carry ing it.

LOST TT ALn.-Samuel s. Scattergood was conservative importer in the Medi- terranean fruits in Philadelphia, and had amassed about $25O.0OO. A year ago he invested nearly all his money in Leadville mining projects and they have all failed. Not only was his own fortune engulfed, but friends were led by him into similar loss. He could not bear this diversity, and hanged himself.

THAT PARRoT.-A day or two since two French women were passengers on one of the local trains between Virginia City and Carson. They had with them in big tin cage a parrot that annoyed every one with its constant squalling and gabble. Observing the unfriendly glances that were bestowed upon the bird, one of the women pulled down a cloth cover that was on the top of the cage. When the extinguisher was clapped upon the bird, and 1t found me it. smart" The bird kept quiet for 8 few minutes, then yelled in it's shrillest tones 'sLook out, Sarah, he's going to kiss youl'' The conductor, who hap pened to be in the car, said "That par rot must be an old traveller on railroads. He seems to think we are passing through tunnel"

Was it Wind or Lightning?

A suit has been brought in the Circuit Court at Madison, Wisconsin, to collect from an insurance company for damages done by the great storm of 1878. The property was insured against lightning, and the company resist payment on the ground that it was destroyed by wind. The plaintiff hopes to prove by the evi- dence of members of the Signal Corps that the whirlwind which destroyed his house was of electrical origin. A vast amount of insurance is likely to be af- footed by the decision of this case, owing to the heavy losses of property during the recent whirlwinds.
