The above little paragraph, which
was clipped from the Cleveland Sun
ddy T0ace, reminds US of an adven-
ture which befell the celebrated prize
fighter Tom Hyer, in Albany, a good
many years ago. Hyer was an Amer
lean, and it was just after the famous
battle with Yankee Sullivan" the
Irish champion, in which the former
was victorious, and when Hyer's name
was in almost everybody's mouth.
Hyer was the worse for liquor, and in
passing along the sidewalk he jostled
rather roughly countryman who was
minding his own business. The latter
said little savagely. Come, what aye
you about?" Hyer turned and slapped
him in the face The countryman, like
the prize fighter, was of large stature,
and, not knowing who it was that had
insulted him, fell afoul of Hyer with
great fury. The prize fighter found
himself doubled up so quickly that he
had no time to display any of that sci
ence which had used up Yankee Sulli-
van. Hyer. after the first onset, picked
himself from the gutter where he had
been hurled, and struck an attitude
which might have appalled, scientific
opponent, but to the aroused country
man it was like shaking red flag in
the eyes of an enraged bull, and he
went for him again ike n hurricane.
liver a second time went down under
the furious onset, and the countryman,
determined to follow up the advantage.
threw himself upon the PROSTATE form
of his gigantic antagonist and COM
menced to pound him numerically:
In the meantime large crowd had
gathered, and one man who knew Hysr
sang out: ''Hyer! What the h are
you doing to let a countryman lick
yer?h
The victorious yeoman heard the
name, ..Hyer," turned pale to think of
his peril, and springing to his feet,
leaving his hat in the street, took to
his legs and ran at a headlong pace as
though pursued by something worse
than Tam O'Shanter ever fed from.
He left Albany by the leg express.

Kit Oarson's Grave.

Taos, N. NJ, was the home Of Kit
Carson, and the house of the famous
scout stands near the Plaza. Kit was
once on his way home, and within a
short distance of Taos. He had not
seen his family, which he loved fondly.
for three years. But he was overtaken
with request from the government to
bear some very important dispatches to
the Pacific coast. So he turned about
and started at once. IL was four years
more before he returned to his family.
We walked out to the little cemetery,
standing most desolate spot amid the
prosperous grain fields. Kit had re-
quested to be buried beside his wife,
and there were the graves of the two
in lot inclosed with wooden picket
fence, painted white and the pickets
tipped with black. The grave mounds
are two low, scrawny gravel heaps.
There are no tombstones, no inscrip-
tons, nothing to tell who lies below,
and it is not known which grave is
filled by Kit Carson, or which by his
wife. The famous frontiersman was a
reckless gambler; he squandered away
all his money and died penniless, but
the public owes it to his memory that his
grave should be properly marked and
cared for.-Bost0n Herald.

Why American Goods are Preferred.

The growing reputation of American
manufacturers in the markets of the
world has alarmed competitors abroad
Whatever Americans undertake, wheth-
er it be machine tools, cutlery, silks,
Hour, cotton, cloth, or any other mer-
chandise, they make their brands the
leading ones, selling for the most
money, and universally sought after.
The reasons for this are plain. 1t is moi
on account of the better and more di-
rect processes employed; it is not by
discarding workshop traditions and
old-time methods; it is not by such adj
ventitious aids that we have achieved
so great an eminence that our trade
marks are counterfeited and foreign
goods are represented as of American
make. It is because our manufacture
ers have found that mercantile honesty
is the only policy, and that when they
attempt to adulterate or lower the
standard the criticism of competitors
exposes them at once.
American machine tools of first-class
makers are not cut in weight or in
workmanship. It is q race to see who
shall discover weak part that can be
made stronger, or detail exposed to
wear that can be made more durable
The same is true of cotton goods and
silks. The senseless weighing of both
with adulterants of one Kind or anoth-
er is not practiced here. for experience
teaches our people that the best is the
cheapest. --Mechd73scdE Engineer.

English RAILWAYS,

As our railway trains are now man
aged, it is as impossible to escape from
an Ineligible travelling companion up
on short notice as it is to shun ones
own shadow. For the time being you
are as completely cut off from your
fellow creatures rs if youIwere floating
with some fragment of human salvage
on a raft in mid-Atlantic. There is,
indeed, a fiction that communication
between passengers and guards exists
on all the railway lines of the United
Kingdom; and many persons may have
observed a mysterious apparatus, to be
reached only by some gymnastic pro-
cess, which, if it happens to be in work
inc order, may attract the attention of
engine-driver and guard. By inclining
ones head at particular angle outside
the window, one may possibly succeed
in finding a rope which, If tugged with
necessary skill will intimate that things
are not quite as comfortable as might
be wished. Or there is bell-handle
placed in an inaccessible part of the
carriage, and covered with thick plate
glass, which is supposed TO answer the
purpose. Or it may be that, if one
takes up the carpet of the floor, some
other device will disclose itself These
things only illustrate the irony of the
official mind. They are not, as the
evidence adduced in the inquest on Mr..
Gold clearly shows, of the slightest
practical utility. This unfortunate
gentleman was manifestly shot while
he was attempting to pull the bell that
would have secured the attention of the
conductor And, of course. the first
thing which murderer who knows
his business viii do is to cut of his VIC
TINS line of communication. There is
one way, and one way only, in which
railway travelling can be rendered COM
paratively safe - by carriages con-
struesed on the Continental system, up
and down which there is free and
uninpeded passage. As matters are,
there is every encouragement for des-
perate adyenturers of the type OF LEROY
to take to the railway train, just as the
inlpeeunious and daring gallants OF q
by-gone generation took to the road.
The occupation, of course, IS precafi-
Gus. 1t is hit or miss But there - al
ways q chance of making coup, ana
in the long run fortune favors the es-
cape of the criminal. - London W0std-

tons for good whitewash: For one

ter pound lampblack. Stake the lime;
cut the lampblack with vinegar; mix

quently while putting it on. This is
not white, but of a light stone color,
without the unpleasant glare of white.
The color may be changed by adding
more or less of the colors named, or
other colors. This wash covers well,
needing only one coat and is superior
to anything known. excepting oil paint.
I have known a rough board barn
washed with this to look well for five
years, and even longer, without renew
ing. The cement bardens, but on a
rough surface will not scale.

What the Ancients Thought Of the Moon.
Nor is it to be marveled at, when we
consider that this planet was the most
brilliant and changeable, as well as the
nearest and apparently largest celestial
body that presented itself to their
nightly view, and that in the clear, ex-
quisite ether of Arabian skies. and the
calm nights of India and Egypt, it
shone among the heavenly host with a
1uster unknown to jewellers in the
crowded cities of northern cline.
But the children of these tropic lands
did something more than gaze, specu-
late and admire; with supreme patience
they reared lofty towers and grand pyr-
amids, and invented instruments which
have led US step by step to the transit
instrument, the micrometer, and the
telescope of to-day. A college of as
trononfy was founded by the priest
hood of Egypt, the worship of the
moon growing out of their frequent
use of her pictured OF carved image in
making their meteorological announce
ments to the people; as for instance,
when the Nile was about to overflow,
warning heralds were sent through the
streets bearing aloft the familiar SYM
bols OF the river goddess and gilded
figure of the moon in the phase it
would present at the date of the expect
ed rising.
In the course of time. the signifca-
ton was forgotten, the symbol was wor-
shipped, and finally what it represented
deified. The moon no longer appeared
TO the unlettered populaee as merely a
brilliant lamp suspended from re-
yolving dome. and shining until exiting
uished by the waters of the ocean, but
now was looked upon with awe as a
region of sublime mysteries.
This veneration of the moon gradu-
ally spread with population to al parts
OF the world. We have records OF an

among Druidical remains in Western
Europe; accounts of astronomical pie

and lunar calendars of gold, silver and

Do Herrings Migrate.

When they have reached the matte
stage the behring's, which are at all
times gregarious, associate together in
conspicuous assemblages, which are
called shoals. These are sometimes of
prodigious extent - indeed, eight or
nine miles in length, two or three in
breadth, with an unknown depth, are
Dimensions which are creditably assert
ed to be sometimes attained, In these
shoals the fish are closely packed, like
flock of sheep straying slowly along
pasture, and it is probably quite safe
to assume that there is at least one fish
for every cubic foot of water occupied
by the shoal. If this be so, every
square mile of such shoal, supposing
it to be three fathoms deep, must con-
tain more than 500, 100000 behring's.
And when it is considered that many
shoals approach the coasts, not only of
our own islands, but of Scandinavia
and the Baltic, and of East North Am
erica, every Spring and Autumn, the
sum total of the herrings which people
our seas surpasses Imagination.
If you read any old and some new
books on the natural history of the her,
ring, you will find wonderful story
about the movements of these shoals;
how they start from their home in the
polar seas, and march south as great
armada which splits into minor divis-
ions one destined to spawn on the
Scandinavian and one on our own
shores; and how, having achieved this
spawning raid, the spent fish make
their way as fast as they can back to
their Arctic refuge, there to repair
their exhausted frames in domestic Sc
curity This story was started in the
last century, and was unfortunately
adopted and disseminated by our coun-
tryman Pennant But there is not the
least proof that anything of the kind
takes place, and the probabilities are
wholly against it. 1t is, for example,
quite irreconcilable with the fact that
herring are found in Gods stomachs all
the year round. And the circumstance
to which have already adverted, that
practical eyes distinguish local breeds
of herrings. though it does not actually
negative the migration hypothesis, is
very much against it. The supposition
that the herring spawn in the North in
the early Spring, and in the South in
the Autumn, fitted very well into the
notion that the vanguard of the mi
grating body of herrings occupied the
first spawning ground it reached, and
obliged the rest of the horde to pass
on; but as matter of fact, the North
ern behring's, like the Southern, have
two spawning-times; or perhaps it
would be more correct to say that the
spawning time extends from Autumn
to Spring, and has two maxima-one
IN August-September and one in Feb
ruary-March. PROF. HUXLEY.
