BABY ON TIE OCEAN.

Some of the passengers were very
miserable in their berths below, but
baby, all unconscious of danger, seemed,
as usual, to thoroughly enjoy the various
ludicrous incidents and small catas-
trophies atalways occur on these occa-
sions There was good deal of loose
water flying about, and not much room
on deck, with all the boats on board. A
snug place was therefore found for her,
Just inside the deck-h0use door, where,
enveloped in macintoshes. she fairly
screamed with delight as tho men slither-
ed and slid and fell about on the slip
perry decks. She thought it especially
amusing when the cock opened the meat
safe and leg of mutton flew out in
his face, while large piece of beef fol-
lowed suit, striking him on the chest
and completely knocking him over. The
cooks boy was busily engaged at the
same time in the vain pursuit Of carrots,
turnips, and potatoes, that broke loose
from the vegetable bunkers and were
floating about in the lee-scuppers, while
few poor misunderstanding draggle-
tailed cocks and hens sought shelter be-
meath the sails and completed the pic
tire OF discomfort and confusion. One
of the hon. coops had already been wash.
ed adrift and its twelve unfortunate
occupants drowned. Eclectic Magasine.

In New York there are about five hun.
dred vendors OF sawdust, having capital
oftwo hundred thousand dollarsinvested,
and doing business amounting to more
two hundred thousand dollars annually.
Forty years ago the mills were glad to
have the sawdust carted away; twenty
five years ago it could be bought for fifty
cents load but the price has increased,
and now it brings three dollars and fifty
cents a load at the mills. 1t is used at
the hotels, eating houses, groceries, and
other business houses. 1t is wet and
spread over floors in order to make the
sweeping cleaner work. Plumbers use
q great deal about pipes, and builders to
deaden walls and floors. Saltwater
men and packers OF glass and small arti.
cles of every kind use it, and dolls and
some living creatures are more or less
stuffed with it. Washington market
takes two or three loads a day, and q
great deal is spread on the piers, and
stables require many loads o day. Vel
low pine makes the best sawdust, as it is
the least dusty, and has good, healthy
smell. But any white wood dust will do.
They make great deal Of black walnut
sawdust, but II will not sell, and 1t is
burned.

A TROTTER,s HISTORY.

The chestnut gelding Edwin Thorn,
who has trotted in 2.21, was sired by
Thorndale, dam Lady Lightfoot. George
Gordon, wealthy gentleman OF New
burg, raised him, and did not get him
broken until he was about years old.
Mr.. Gordon drove him as roadster oil
and on for two years. He frequently
displayed n fractions temper, and when
approaching his sixth year became en-
tirely manageable. The horse was
then put in the hands of j. o. Smith, q
noted horseman of this city. Thorn had
been turned out when Smith went after
Lin. 1t took three men to corner him
in the lot and put the halter on him. 1t
also required these three men to hitch
him up. "When We got the harness on
him." says Smith, "and the other two
fellows were holding him, l jumped in
the wagon and invited one of EN- to get
in with me. He declined, and before |
could pick up the lines the horse had
reared up, and, standing as straight as
an awning post, lifted both men up
with him. He came down with ter
rife plunge, and went through a brand.
new set of harness as easy as n pistol
ball would go through kite. After
again hitching him up, he went of
down the road like flash and on a dead
run. First he was up in the front and
then behind, and it's fact that l had to
stand up in the wagon and push him
forward to keep him from falling over
backward.
"He ran for over q mile. I made no
effort to stop him, and when I went back
Cor my friend I couldn't stop him. l
couldn't back him to turn, for he'd go
up straight as an arrow and stay there,
and the only way I could get around
was to 90 until the road was wide enough
to make the circle. I kept the horse
some time, and one day sent him out
with my market man with load Of meat
to deliver. They'd been gone three.
quarters of an hour and hadn't stopped
anywhere. The horse took them all
over the sidewalks, around hydrants and
hitchingposts and against trees. I then
tackled him myself, and s,fch time
with horse I never had before, MOI
since. After little while the horse was
sold for $3.50, and 1 took him to Po',
keepsie to train. The best l could dc
first was 3.14 Then | trotted him in O
few weeks in 3;O1. finally put him in
race, and gave him record of 2.32
Soon after this 1 gave him private tria
in 2.25. Edwin Thorn then bought the
horse and owns him now. l realized
over $4,000 from him. He tapped So Sc
out the other day in 2.1S Ia, and Alder
Goldsmith, who has a stable of horses
in the circuit, and has seen Thorn tro
his races, says he has not been in f. race
that he could not win il he was al
right.
"Thorn is now eight years old and six
teen hands high, and taking Goldsmith
Maid as an illustration of what trotte
may be able to accomplish from eighI
years old to double that age, Thorn ha'
yet the best part of his life to develop
his speedy. Y. SIN.
