TIE King of Abyssinia,

Johannes appeared about As; his fea-
ture were aquiline and regular, fore
head high, nose prominent and straight,
eyes chilly, his general presence COM
manding, but an expression of settled
gloom pervaded his countenance, which
bore the frozen look produced by the
absence of the softening influence of
smiles; his hair was worn in the ma
tional manner, with four partings. and
dubbed in knot behind; no covering
adorned the head. A mantle of Grim
son satin thrown over his shoulders
partially concealed his undergarment,
which consisted of fine waite linen OF

Extraordinary longevity IN a Dog.

Chou-Chou (Which [ am informed
means edible) was for some years the
famous dog of Admiral Sir Henry
Keppel, and was presented to him I'M
1852, when captain of FL. M. S. St.
Jean d Acre, by the Japanese authori-
ties in Japanese Tartary, as a rare
specimen of the true edible dog of Tar
tary. Chou-Chou, who was then two
years old, was his faithful companion
on board this ship for two years, and
was made great pet of by both of
icers and crew. affording them much
amusement from his many peculiar
tiles.
One of the petty officers, Mr.. Jupes,
of the st. Jean d'Acre at this period,
still resides at Southampton, and re-
lates many droll anecdotes of the ia
nous Chou-Chou. He was of blue
black color, and stood about twenty
two inches high, and when in good
condition weighed forty-seyen pounds.
One remarkable feature in him was
that the inside of his mouth and his en-
tire tongue was perfectly coal-black.
The Admiral landed at Portsmouth
in 1854. and took the dog with him to
his country seat at Bishopstoke, where
he remained the conserved of all OBJ
servers until 1870, when he was given
by the Admiral to George Washington
Jones, who had served as paymaster
with him on board the same ship, but
who then was the proprietor of the
Bassett Hotel in the neighborhood. =
The one condition attached to the gift
was that Chou-Chou should not be part
en- with from that house until he died.
The present proprietor of the hotel,
Mr.. Alfred WEIGH. who took it in 1871,
also took the dog on the like terms.
and in his possession 1t died a natur al
death on May %, 1881, aged thirty-one
years-to the great regret of every one
who knew him.
Chou-Chou took first prize for dogs
of variety of breed at the Portsmouth
dor show in 1877. By disposition he
was very amiable and good-tempered,
and showed strong affections. He be-
came much attached to Mr.. Welch's
children. accompanying them to school
of morning, and always going unbid-
den to fetch them home of an after
noon. Of course in so long a life he
had many "hair-breadth 'scapes,' the
most precarious being that he was once
run over at Bassett by coal cart.
when both his forelegs were broken.-
With great care. however, he was per-
fectly reinstated again.-A. III. Bsttey

An Invention Destined to Supersede
Rowing.


An Auburn inventor has patented a
device for propelling boats which prom
ises to entirely revolutionize, the pres
ent Iaborioas method of rowing, and
which will be hailed with delight by
the young man who has to take his
best girl and his portly prospective
lnother-in-law out rowing several even
inos in each week. Those who do not
row can dilate upon the scenery of the
outlet and the beauties of 'tlife on
the ocean wave' as much as they please,
but the fatigued and perspiring young
man mentally says he would prefer
saving o cord of wood to rowing many
miles farther.
The new mechanical movement of
which we wish to speak in this article
will agreeably diminish, if not entirely
obviate, nearly all the sorrows of the
amateur oarsman. The inventor is
MIR. Henry N. Staats, of this city, and
the design of his appliance is to render
practicable the use of n screw-pro-
peller upon small boats. The invention
can be applied to any row boat, and
consists simply of propeller-shaft
which projects through the stern OF the
boat and has secured to its end screw
propeller, which, by the rotation OF the
SuebiL Ul Afsud POHSA fspPiAS0 W -
double crank, causes the boat to move
forward with greater or less speed, gov
erned by the rapidity of the revolu-
tons.
The work is not nearly 50 tiresome
as rowing, and with the same amount
of power expended the speed attained
is far greater. The advantages OF the
propeller are numerous and must be
conceded. One is that the person faces
the direction he is going instead of rid
ing backward as in rowing, and can
steer the craft himself by means of STIR
rups attached to gear also inverted
by Mr. Stats. In duck-huntlng you
can noiselessly approach the feeding
ground and see where you are going.
In trawIino this method IS also Tar SUI
perior to laborious rowing.
Two, or even more persons can work
at the handles and by a simple change
of pin the handles can be worked IN
either direction, which is often great
relief to the muscles. The appliance is
certainly ingenious and eminently prac-
tieable. We have witnessed its opera
ton. and everybody who has rowed
boat s.for pleasure will be charmed
with it. The cost of the apparatus is
but S25, and we can unhesitatingly say,
that upon trial we do not believe the
owner of boat would be willing to
have it taken ont and return to the old
method for quadruple the first cost
We think Mr.. Staatz has a bonanza Ia

Mexican Propensity for Stealing.


A correspondent of the New York
+ Tribune, writing from Mexico, says:
"Washerwomen pawn the clothes of
snsuspecting and trusting Americans
when given them to be washed, and
more than one engineer has had to
visit some enspepao and pay down the
cash for garments that were already
his, to get them out of pawn. Either
one by one or all ia alarnp, these gar
ments are gathered into the NAV of the
Mexican stunele" The statement of
nv friend, the machinist, may be color
ed by a sad experience, but there is
much truth in what he says; it is only
fair toward those of our countrymen
contemplating coming here to give the
actual coloring of the dark side as well
as the bright. In regard to stealing,
this / know, that nothing along the
line of the great ''Mexicann railroad
from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico,
is left outside after dark; nothing that
the strength of two men can lift Even
the car-couplings are taken inside the
station and locked up. This road once
introduced air-braises on their ears, but
the workmen punched holes in the
pipes and stole the tubinr. SO they were
taken off. On the National road.
and doubtless on all others also, they
stole the bolts that fastened the rails to
the ties, until they We're finally rfveted
on. One of gang of workmen under
took to steal the cap of a cartridge of
dynamite, anil the result was that he
and several others went to their ward
Instances might be multiplied to show
that the bulk of the mixed population
of Mexico are thieves and beggars. 1t
is impossible to mention the term steal
ing without finding victim. Two
evenings ago / was at the house of a
prominent American here, whose wife
that very day had had valuable watch
stolen from her they were in consul
tation that same day with the chief of
police about the possible recovery of
some furniture stolen from them few
weeks before. That afternoon met o
missionary. well known here. who
showed me watch that had been
stolen from him and which he had only
reclaimed by paving S55 to recover it
from pawn. The wife of a high Amer
lean official in Mexico told me that
same evening that at the first official
| dinner given by her husband she lost
so many spoons and forks that there
were hardly any left that evening.
| Though there is no other city of any
size near this: though the streets swarm
with policemen and the customs OFF,
cials search--or have the right to search
I-all merchandise arriving and depart
ing through tie city gates, property
once lost is rarely recovered. Even in
the event of the identifcatior and the
arrest of the thief, it Is SO difficult to re-
cover stolen goods that they are in the
majority OF cases lett with the magis-
1 trate.

In Clfiaess ten garden the first duty
for which female cooperation is in de-
mand occurs in leaf-plucking. on the
careful, intelligent and conscientious
performance OF which much of the
subsequent high character and value of
ths finished produce depends. Where
ignorance was rampant, as in the early
days Of some of the Indian tea planta-
tons, the blameworthy habit of strip
ping the branches-that Is, grasping
them at their junction with the main
stem and drawing the closed fingers
sharply along, thus clearing them at
one sweep of every bud and leaf-was
frequently practiced. It was a most
reprehensible custom, as the planters
soon discovered, and was INDUCED in
by INSCRIPTIONS FUCKERS. when safe
from the eye of supervision, in order
to save themselves trouble and quickly
augment the contents of their baskets,
thereby completing the days '.task's in
the shortest space of time. The prac-
tice was physiologically damaging to
the tea-bushes and fatal to the value of
the finished tea, turning out, as it did
with such rough manipulation, a mere
confused aggregation of leaves of all
ages and sizes a piebald and harle-
quin-looking mixture, badly p1ucked,
unevenly fernlented, and pleasing
neither TO palate, nose, nor eye. In
China, the home of tea-farming and
preparation. such serious, but quite
preyentable, practices could scarcely
happen; and we think we may venture
to assert that where British ladies and
girls of even the most ordinary educa-
ton were employed, such willful bung-
ling would be next to an impossibility.
On the arrival of the tea season in
Holman and Hu-peh, and doubtless
also in the other districts. the more ex-
perienced among the leaf-piuckers-
who have previously undergone sys-
tenn of dieting and sanitary supervis-
ion, SO as to avoid the risk of commu-
nicating and faint to the delicate flow
