THE RIVER PR s.

On board one vessel the captain has Ms
family, consisting of a wife and daughter.
The former a native of Cape Cod, has been TO
sea twelve years; feels uncomfortable ashore,
and has considerable snap and go, Judging
from her talk to the old man, who said he
wanted but two more whales.
"What but tWc!" said she, emphatlcally,
you want all you can get; you want to fill
everything chuck full and the cabin full OF
bone if you get it
occasionally we meet some fellow who
has had bad luck, perhaps not 9 whale for
SIX weeks, and, on reporting to him where
we have seen whales, be goes there and finds
the coveted game. On more than one occa-
nate results
Where many whales are killed it is no
uncommon sight to pass their floating car
cases, which afford a perfect saturnalla for
the sea birds and bears, and when business
has been lively blubber-logged whalemen can
be seen at anchor, or others, as ! have seen
with two whales made fast alongside, and
the crew all asleep, being go1ged and ex-
hausted with slaughter. AS it is, the poor
whales are sadly prosecuted, and when not
killed outright often escape with fearful
wounds. They have been found on the
coast Of Asia having in their bodies marked
h%arpoons which had been thrust into them in
Greenland twelve years previously, and |
have seen at King s island q reunited fracture
Of q rib that had doubtless been broken by a
bomb lance. Also a strangely shaped stone
spear head taken from a whale captured in
the vicinity Of Herald Island, q circumstance
that may have some bearing upon the prob
lem as to whether Wrangell Land is inhabi-
ted or not, for the dart in question is different
from any used by any of the Esquimaux
known to us.

Its shrewd dodge on the part of Rob,
erts friends to try to ring in one of the
prominent men of the minority in the Legis-
lature for the second place on the State
ticket, with Roberts for the first, to give
. strength TO it and gain the confidence OF the
people. 1t is n well-known fact that the
present satisfactory condition of our finances
is due to the efforts Of the minority to bring
about state of affairs under which the pay
as-you-go policy could be in manner nau'
gurated; and it is rather presumptuous on
the part of the Governors party after His
Excellency had almost annihiated our credit
by his veto-after he had squandered large
sum in useless extra session of his Legisla-
ture, and had then, with an assurance almost
sublime in its magnitude, attempted to
claim all the credit for the increased reve-
nues of the State in the Troasury-to come
up and ask one of the minority who had
so much to bring about the good results in
dictated, to furnish the strength to carry the
Governor into the Gubernatorial chair for a
second term. Roberts has attempted to steal
the thunder OF the minority; and now has the
assurance to attempt to carry off the votes
of that party also. In goodness name, what

Conkling. Living in the house was her son,

credit in a Binghampton bank, he went to
Auburn on debauch. Every dollar of the
account was soon exhausted, but he continued
to draw on the bank, and when
the checks came back protested he
returned TO his mother ut Norwich
for another supply. On Friday night Mrs.
Griting retired leaving a lamp burning in
her room. During the night agonizing
screams were heard. The oil of the lamp
was blazing on her pillow, Jasper had dis
appeared. A codicil had been executed to
the widows will during the afternoon. These
facts led to the suspicion that Jasper was the
murderer, having fired the bedding.

fille." She is honest as daylight, which
is more than can say for most Bretons,
who are pilferers, not robbers, at least in
these parts She is economical to fault;
wastes nothing, almost eats nothing;
keeps the men on soup made of greasy
water and bits of bread, and puts even
water used in cooking into the universal
soup. Yesterday she sent in the peas
with lot-of green-looking water, which
one of our party, disliking, took into
the kitchen to pour away; Jacquette re-
quested as favor that it might be put
into her own particular plate of soup,
and it was. But Jacquette never washes,
or, if she does wash, she does not conquer
her dirt. She Is dirty in cooking our
food. She is bad cook, and smokes
everything she cooks. She potters about
all day, yet does not even keep the rooms
clean. Upon the ladies falls almost all
the household work. Why, then, do we
keep JacquetteY First and foremost, be-
cause we can not get better; next, be-
cause we like her very much for her good
qualities; and lastly, because when once
we told her to 60 IN week, the dear old
thing was 50 meek, so patient, so endur-
ing that we almost wept for her, and
kept her on.

Contemporary Review.l

Ascetics, both wholly naked and par
TALLY clothed, are as common under the
Brahmanical system as among Jainas
and Buddhists. The god silva himself
is represented as a Dig-ambara, or naked
ascetic, whenever he aassumes the char
acter of Mahayogi-that is to say,
whenever he enters on long course of
austerity, with an absolutely nude body,
covered only with a thick coating of dust
and ashes, sitting motionfess, and
wrapped in meditation for thousands of
years, that he may teach men by his own
example the power attainable through
Standardization and abstract contem-
plation.
1t is true that absolute nudity in pub
lie is now prohibited by law, bat the
Dig-ambara Jainas, who take their meals,
like orthodox Hindus, in strict seclusion,
are said to remove their clothes in the
act of eating. Even in the most crowded
thoroughfares the requirements Of legal
deeency are easily satisfied Any one

content themselves with the minimum
of. clothing represented by narrow strip
of cloth three or four inches wide twisted
round their loins. Nor ought it to ex-
cite any feeling of prudish disgust to
find poor, hard-working laborers till
ing the ground with a greater area of
sun-tanned skin courting the cooling
action of air and wind on the burning
plains of Asia than would be considered
decorous in Europe. As to mend4cant
devotees, they may still occasionally be
seen at great religious gatherings abso-
lutely innocent of even rag. Never
theless, they are careful to avoid magis-
terial penalties. In a secluded part of
the City of PaGna l came suddenly on an
old female ascetic, who usually sits quite
naked in large barrel, which consti-
tutes her only abode. When I passed
her in company with the collector and,
magistrate of the district she rapidly
drew dirty sheet round her body.
