MISTAKEN FOR SEA LION.-A cores
pondent of the WorId, writing from New
Brunswick, n j., records very narrow es-
cape from an awful death that Gen. Kilpat-
rick had in that city. An unsophisticated
man read in the papers of the escape of the
sea lions from the enclosure at Coney Island,
and of the capture of one at New Brunswick
and the receipt by the captor of the offered
reward 1850. The man knew nothing con-
cerning sea lions, and asked an acquaintance
about them, who, not knowing how to de-
scribe them scientifically, told him, "you
must have seen them down at Coney Island
they get up on platforms and roar" Armed
with this somewhat indefinite information and
boat hook, the unsophisticated man set out
on his search. Unhappily General Fitzpatrick
had been there the MI ght before, and his actions
conceded so precisely with those Of the sea
lion as described by the mans informant that
the simple fellow, Oh meeting the General,
made fierce lunge at him with his defacto har-
poon The General, with great promttude,
wheeled on the left by columns of fours and
fell back upon the city limits with celerity
worthy of all praise, the maneuvre being exc.
cuted with loss of his coat tails, which were
tranShXeu IN a vital part ny inc ooat'nooh.
The hunter of the sea lion was instantly seiz'
ed and disarmed, and on being taken before
q magistrate explained his conduct by de-
claring that he had mistaken the General for
sea lion, inasmuch as he (the GeneraD got
mp on the platform and roared. The unso.
phisticated man was discharged, and General
Fitzpatrick, after being measured for new
coat, telegraphed to the Republican National
Committee that the German vote of New
Jersey was solid for Garfield and Arthur.
The sad event has cast gloom over the
community.

a9 For nervous headache take dessert
spoonful of common bread soda, and dissolve
it thoroughly in quart of cold water. With
this thoroughly shampoo the head and back
of the neck. Then rinse the head with clean
cold water. This remedy almost always gives
relief in five or ten minutes.

ps- There is scarcely any remedy so effect
ual in the cure of disordered bowels as abso-
lutte rest in recumbent position. If there
be laxness, liquid food should be taken In
stead of solid. A wet towel over the abdo-
men covered with dry one, worn at night,
will do wonders in such cases.

The Thin Partition Between Life
and Death.

When we walk near the powerful
machinery we know that one single
mlsstep and those mighty engines
would tear US to ribbons with their
flying wheels, or grind us to powder
IN their ponderous jaws. So, when
we are laundering across the land in
rail-car, and there is nothing but
bali an inch of iron hange to hold us
upon the track. So when we are at
sea in ship, and there is nothing but
the thickness of a plank between us
and eternity We imagine then that
we see how close we are to the preci-
pice. But we do not sect Whether
on the sea + ON the land the partition
that divides us from eternity is some
thing thinner than the oak plank or
halt an inch of iron flange The ma
chlnery of life and death are within
us. The tissues that hold these beat
ing powers in their place are often not
thlcher than a piece of paper, and, if
that thin partition were pierced or
ruptured, it would be just the same
with us as if IA cannon ball had struck
us. Death is inseparably bound up
with life in the very structure of our
bodies. Struggle as he will to widen
the space, no man can at any time go
further from death than the thickness
of sheet Of paper.

The funeral of Patrick Hay, better
known as James Cooke, the clown and
equestrian, was held in New York city
Oh the Sd inst. When Cooke knew
that he was about to die, he was asked
by the priest who attended him to re-
nounce the principles of Masonry, to
which he had been ardcntly attached
from his boyhood He refused to do
this saying that Masonry was as good
religion to die by as the Catholic faith
in which he had been educated. He
then requested that nothing but Ma
sonic ceremonies should be held over
his body, and his request was fulfilled
to the letter.

The size Of the brain is not IN pro.
portion 70 the physical development Of
the body. either in Animal Or man.
Even in men there is no fixed relation
between the size of the body and the
brain. A small man may have large
brain and vice Uersa. Men of great
intellectual powers have generally, if
not always, possessed large brains
The brain of Cavier, the great French
naturalist, weighed between SO and
60 ounces, yet he was below the me-
dunn stature. Napoleon Bonaparte
was small in stature, but his brain
weighed over So ounces. Daniel Web
ster's brain was about the same
weight as Napoleon's, but the former
was rather a large and powerfully
built man Stephen A. Douglas,
wien q young man, was short and
small, weighing not more than about
lSo pounds, at which period his large
head seemed almost a deformity. The
quality of the brain, however, is quite
as important as the quantity, SO that
large brain does not, of necessity,
constitute a great man. The average
weight of the adult European male
brain is 40 to so ounces; that Of the
adult female, Al to As ounces.

A NEAT little story, says the New
York Sun, is told about the way III
which Jay Gould makes use Of the few
social opportunities he enjoys. Being
invited to private dinner upon his
recent return from the west, he de.
clared in postgrandial effusion to the
dozen or more gentlemen present that
he had more money than he could pos
sibly find use for, and that the great
object Of his life henceforth would be
to improve the great consolidated con-
Germs which he now controls and to
place them on the basis of solid divi-
dend-paying securities. He suggested
indirectly that the Union Pacific would
be the fist to benefit by the new con-
solldation arrangements. Upon hear
ing this au old gentleman present
went next morning to his broker and
bought thousand shares of the stock
at SO and fraction. He had to sell
it out few days later at SO.
