What an Earthquake Did.

A curious result seems TO have followed a
recent earthquake at Bucharest The soil of
Bucharest is rich, black, porous vegetable
mould, very springy under pressure, and
carriages passing in a street cause a strong
vibration in the adjacent houses. The
Grand Hotel Boulevard however. was an
exception to this general rule, and in the
rooms facing the principal street, on which
there is a heavy traffic, no sensible effect
was felt from passing vehicles
During the recent earthquake, the windows
and crockery in less massively constructed
buildings ratified very sensibly, whereas.
there was no audible sound in the hotel
Since the earthquake shock, however, this
state OF things has changed entirely, and
every vehicle passing the hotel causes vibra-
ton in the whole building. The singular
part of this change is that the effect pro-
duced by the vehicle is the same as that
accom- panying the earthquake. 1t is not a
jar as previously produced in other buildings
but a saving motion similar to that felt in
the late shock. This movement is so great
as TO cause pictures to sway backward and
forward on the walls. The hotel is one of
brick. covered outside with mastic which
would show at once any crack in the walls
However, there Is not @ crack init Hence,
il is thought this change in the solidity of
the structure appears to be due so some eff
ect produced In the earth underneath the
building by the shock of earthquake.

About Great Men.

One mild consolation which we may offer
TO those who lament the decay of great men
is, that great men are great humbugs. Sixty
years ago the codntry was at the opening OF
a long era Of peace and rapid internal de
velopment. II was also an era of ''great
men''-st least it seems 30 now from dis
lance, although Webster, Clay and Calhoun
spread over period of forty years seems not
a very generous distribution. What they
did for the country would puzzle anybody
to tell. 1t WAS discovered in 1860. at any
rate, that they had left one prodigious job
undone. The country without single
'.grest man. on either side plunged into the
greatest civil war of history. The emer-
gency made common men great, and men
who become great on an emergency may be
pardoned human weakness in more vulgar
moments. One sympathizes sometimes with
that homely character in the old play, who
after much disappointment from the men Of
genius and brillisncy pressed upon his At
tention, bursts out profsnely: IL am tired Of
your great men and your brilliant fellows
Give me regular old-fashionsd damned
fooll"

A MOBILE TBRRAPTN Farm.
How the Diamond Backs Raised and
shipped-A Big Collection of Them.
mobile (Aia.l Register, january ao.l

Mobile (Ais.) Register, January 3O.l
A few days ago an article clipped from q
Washington paper appeared in the Register
giving description OF Senator Dennis ter
rapin farm in Maryland. As We have some.
thing of the sort TO boast of in the neigh
borhood of Mobile, il may not be amiss tc
give our readers a description of Mr.. Mul
ford Dorlon's great terrapin farm at Cedar
Point This projection of land is on the
western shore of Mobile Bay, about thirty
miles below this city, and is inhabited prin.
cipally by oystermen who reap golden har.
vests from the many beds which furnish
nearly every oyster brought to the port
of Mobile. Mr.. Dorlon, who keeps a store
at this point, has about three acres fenced IN
with strong pihngs- Leading to this in
closure are two canals, one on the bay side
and the other on the gulf side, which sup
ply with salt water a number of bitches ten
feet wide and 100 feet long The sand ac.
cumulating from the excavation of these
bitches is thrown on each side, and used by
the terrapins to sun themselves and Law their
eggs in, which, III counted, would 20 up in
the millions, and can be raked up by the
bushel. In the winter season the terrapins
remain Embedded in the mud of the bitches
where they stay until spring time, never
touching morsel of food. A system OF
sluices enables Mr.. Dorlon to keep the
bitches full of salt water, or drain them al
pleasure, and he Is not at all dependent on
the tide for that purpose.
The number of terrapins on the farm. as
far as can be ascertained by the closest cal
culation, is between 20,00 and $4,000, and
in the course of the next three of four year:
will be something hard TO calculate. About
May /, Mr. Dorlon makes his purchase oil
terrapins from the country people on the
Mississippi Sound, and takes all he car
secure at So dozen, and that generally
averages about 5000 year added TO this
farm, outside of those bred therein. The in.
habitants of Mississippi and Alabama hunt
the terrapins with dogs trained for that pur
pose. The dog barks when he finds one, and
the hunter Immediately secures it by going
to the spot where the dog points
The cost of feeding the terrapins, which,
as We have said, is only done in the summer
is about 81 per dozen for the season, and the
price per dozen in New York has varied
from SIS TO IS. The food, which consists oil
crabs and fish, is caught with a seine in
front of the farm, and really very little ex.
pense is attached to the raising of these
valuable land tortoises. Mr.. Dorlon begins
to ship about October !, and then on tC
about May 10. He generally sends his &c
Savannah by rail, and thence TO New York
by steamer, averaging about 10000 a sea
son, and had il not been for disastrou.
hurricane, which some time ago washed out
Mr.. Dorlon's farm, IL would be to-day the
greatest terrapin farm in the world. lie
can always ship all he can get, for there is .
ready market for these delicacies.
