THE SEA FROZEN OVER FOR -
MILES,
LIVES, Dell. Feburarv =.


A food Of curiosity seekers have
swept into the Breakwater. The scene
presented by the sea and bay at this
time Is beyond anything ever witnessed
and puzzles the philosophy Of old and
experienced sailors. To repeat that the
sea is frosen for distance of twelve
miles out, as has been reported in
Philadelphia, is TO give an inadequate
idea Of the real facts. The mouth of
the bay from Lewes to the opposite
Jersey shore :his morning was closed
completely, and persons could cross on
foot to Cape May, ten miles distant, with
ease. No one knows how far the ice
extends. The whole harbor off Lewes
is detted With vessels, large and small,
frozen as fast as though they had grown
there' This has been the condition
since "Wednesday last. Yesterday there
were thirty-five vessels, comprising
ships, brigs, barks and schooners, ice.

Womon in Perm,

The Peruvian ladies do not work
they consider labor disgraceful. Yet
they are generally occupied. They rise
early, take cup of tea, and go to mass.
Their walking suits are neat and pretty
in this respect they surpass us. The
dress is black, and never touches the
ground there is no fussing or fumbling
with trains. A white skirt is sometimes
seen little below the dress, with
deep hem and two tucks, and always
white and clean. Prunella CATERS are
generally worn the hands are bare the
mdntd is thrown over the head, falling
gracefully down almost to the bottom
of the skirt, and gives them charming
appearance; for it may conceal many
defects of face that is not handsome,
and it sets off to advantage the charms
of beautiful face. A lady never goes
out alone in Lima; two or three go
| together, and black woman servant
walks behind. Young girls are carefully
escorted by their friends wherever they
go, and are never permitted to see per-
sons of the opposite sex alone. All the
matches are made by older people, and
so effectually is this done that the ladies
all marry, and none are divorced. The
subject of dress claims most of their
time and attention; their ball dresses
and opera and Soiree suits are magnifi-
cent. Their boots especially are beau
tiful. No people have naturally as small
| feet as the Peruvian. The ladies are
not very Intelligent, and care little for
music or books. They love to smoke.
Although handsome when young,ss they
scarcely turn twenty when they begin to
fade. One thing always lasts with them,
and that is their gait. Their movements
are gliding and graceful, and the same
is true of the men. On the street they
never jostle each other. Their manners
are excessively courteous; but then
conversation amounts to little, being
| rhiehY rossin about domestic affairs.

A Mouse Remedy for LOckiaM.

Hitherto there has been no remedy
which could be regarded as specific for
tetanus. AT last, however, an ingenious
French physician has apparently hit
upon q remedy before which tetanus
yields as readily as toothache yields to
the dentists forceps, and which will, of
course, supersede curare and all other
inferior remedies. The French doctor
in question was called in to attend a
lady suffering from tetanus. In his re-
port he says that she was a married
woman of thirty-one years of age, and
Mat previous to his visit her family
physician had tried every known remedy
for tetanus, including curare, without
producing any effect. The patient was
lying on her back, with her jaws tightly
closed, and the muscles of her chest and
throat were so rigid that she was unable
to utter a sound. The doctor at once
went out and procured live mouse OF
the usual size and voracity, to the tail
of which he attached q strong horse
hair. Placing the mouse at the foot OF
the bed, he permitted it to walk the
entire length of the patients body. Nc
sooner did the patient notice the mouse
than she sprang up, loudly calling tc
the attendants to take it off, and de
nouncing the doctor as horrid, heart
less wretch, who ought to be ashamed
of himself and guillotined on the spot
There was no recurrence of the symp
toms of tetanus. In fact, the doctor
adds that the lady's jaws were so thor
oughly and permanently unlocked tina
the husband, who is, of course, ignoran
of law, has threatened to begin an actor
for damages against him.-Hom@opathi

Seeing In n Fog.


A friend of ours, last March, sail
ing down the fine coast, came on
deck one morning to find the air per-
vaded by fog so thick as to shut of
the vision for even few yards from the
steamer. He had been aware, during
the night, of a peculiar vigilance and
activity on board, and ascertained that
the fog had lasted since the previous
evening. On inquiring of the captain
concerning their whereabouts he was
told that they had passed Cape Hat
teras in the night. Chow did you know
that? Gould you see the light2" ooh,
no, not in fog like this" "Well, you
certainly could take no observations
without star in sight" "No; but we
have other ways of seeing where we are
than these you have mentioned. y
"How?" "By the lead. Our sound.
ings told us when we were off the cape,
and when we had passed it."
The spiritual have other means oi

stormy and perilous crisis of our life
But we go on, sounding the very
depths that encompass and imperil us
and find In the rocks and shoals them
selves our chart and our security. Fo
we walk by faith, not by sight.-Intel
