AN ADVENTURE or CAPT. WARM.

The little steamer saint Patrick
Was running on Hoods Canal,
And the Captain steered his course for the
South
Straight mp the mid channel
On the wind that blew a hurricane
Rode thick the Icy mist,
And the little vessel groaned again.
As she veered on the starboard list.
The skipper ne stood At the helm.
Looking sharply into the gloom,
When suddenly out from the darkness ahead'
Down the wind wIth-out-guyed boom;
Rushing down on It's pitiless course,
Throwing high the spray IA II flew
with the speed Of the Flying Dutchman,"
To cleave the Saint Patrick In two.
Rushing down on Its pitiless course,
Game long and low-decked craft,
No look out stood ON its forward deck
And no skipper stood abaft.
Saint Patrick's noble Captain,
To his little vessel true,
Put the helm over hard-a-starboard
And two loud whistles blew.
No answer made the stranger craft,
Rirht on the Saint Patrick now
Pish.sh-sh and great bull whale went uONn
Within twenty feet Of his bow.

Perpetual Motion.

There is now on exhibition in q
small apartment in Chambers street
the nearest perpetual motion Of any
thing ever devised. The contrivance
consists of two wheels, nearly concen-
trie, which are rotated by means of
nine four-pound balls, which run in
the grooyed radii of the wheels. When
the machine is at rest, four of the balls
are placed in the grooves of each OF
the wheels one to each of four grooves;
there are seven in all. To give mo-
ton to the machine a ninth ball is
placed in a vacant groove. The equi-
librium being disturbed, the first wheel
begins to revOlve, and the movement
of the axis, which is cogged with the
axis Of the other, sets that in motion
On reaching certain point the odd
ball, instead of continuing its motion
1lOil the CcHlCi Ol tnc Nlec1 10 lHe
circumference, rolls through an open
ing into groove belonging to the
companion wheel and imparts addi-
tional motion to that one, the loss of
force in the first being soon made up
by the return of the odd ball on reach
ing given point on the other side.
The machine does not generate much
power, but it certainly develops
enough by simple gravitation to give
motion to itself until the material
of which it is made is worn out.
1t is the invention of Albert Pietrow-
ski, polish engineer, who labored for
eighteen years before he succeeded in
perfecting a model that would salts
factorily demonstrate the theory which
had been the dream Of his life New
York Mail.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 1882.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 1882.
Congress has gone,-but Collins is
here-Collins the sparrer-and while
Collins continues to challenge, Con-
gressional debates could not equal his
remarks, Collins is the celebrated
Cast-lron man. He went to the dis
tret Commissioners for a decision in
regard to his fighting with gloves, but
they declined to opine unless disin-
terested citizen requested it. Since
then they decided that the police can
Interfere. 1t is a good deal like the
girl on her sweetheart's lap, crying
aloud "let me CO." but whispering
'hold me fast" The Cast-Iron Man"
and Donnelly fghteth not, and like
at Wrinkles duel every one is satisfied.
The expression "Mean enough to
steal pennies off dead mans eyes"
conveys a faint idea of some mems
meanness. Today a footless man from
Milwaukee, came through our estab-
lishment to collect money enough to
replace with artificial limbs those he
lost by a railroad accident. His re-
cord as a soldier in the Union Army
during the war is nuimpeachable. He is
indorsed for position under the gov
ernment by Senator Sawyer of our
State. The man was member of a
Wisconsin Regiment. Having lost
his legs since the war by railroad ac-
cident, he gets no pension. A FEW
government employees refused 25 cents
to help this disabled man purchase
artificial limbs, and yet, having been
in the pay of "Uncle Sam" for
years are to stingy to contribute to
such fund.
Those who were fortunate enough to
hear the Marine band in front Of the
capitol last evening in one of their
weekly concerts, were highly enter
tanned by the delightful music furn-
ished and the great improvement
made by Prof. Sonsa since he took the
baton from the hands of one of the
subjects of Keiser Wilhelm. They
play earlier since Congress adjourned
and the music outside of course is
much more preferable, though not as
spirited as the former chin-mnsic in
side the capitol, lead by bandmaster
Speaker Keifer, and the diminutive
bass viol played by Robson; it is
hoped both will not be too agitating
for the people, but will be received
with entire satisfaction. Yours,
w. C. D.

General ROsSer's Opinion.

While Gen. Rosser was in Grand
Forks the other day, he was interview
ed by Herald man. After discuss
ing North Dakota and its wonderful
growth, the conversation drifted tow
ard politics, and the situation in the
Fifth Minnesota district was discussed
at length. In this connection it might
be stated that the generals politics are
democratic. During the rebellion he
was living in the south and naturally
esp0used the southern cause. He was
one Of its bravest soldiers, and when
the war was over he moved north, and
no man is more loyal to the union.
He was connected with the Northern
Pacific while Kindred was with the
road, and had an excellent chance to
observe his dealings. He believes
that his dealings have been honorable
and that his honor is above reproach.
The General was an intimate friend of
Col, Newport, who had charge of the
investigation and the Colonel has fire.
quently stated that there was no cause
for action Argus.

A Streak OF Luck.

The Newark Advertiser announces
that stroke of good luck has fallen
to William H. Hunt, late secretary of
the navy and now minister to Russia.
He has been somewhat embarrassed in
his circumstances, but a Spaniard
named Jose Domingo, who died in
New Orleans on Sunday, having ac-
cumulated a large fortune during the
last forty years by importing cigars
left his homestead to Mr.. Hunts
daughter and the balance of his es-
tate to her father, after making a few
bequests to realitives and friends. This
unexpected gift is said to make Mr..
Hunt one of the wealthiest men in the
diplomatic service"

Keeping Poultry.

The poultry house, to be made in
the best manner, should be frame,
plank up with one inch plank, close
enough to prevent vermin from enter
ing, and to secure sufficient warmth.
The size of the building may be esti-
mated by allowing one and one-half
square foot to the fowl. Through the
top of the building put a tube or pipe,
SO as to secure ventilation. 1t is best
to have the earth as q floor, on ac-
count of the vermin. If such it
should be made solid and kept regu-
larly cleaned off. For perches have
poles with the bark on, two to four
inches in diameter. Some prefer sas-
afras, believing it will prevent disease.
1t will be found beneficial toward pre-
venting lice. Place the perches firmly
and all about the same height. Near
the house, or where the chickens
mostly range, prepare a large box.
filed with ashes, for the purpose of
good preventative against lice If the
lice should appear, mix sulphur with
the ashes. The best preventative
against lice we ever tried were cedar
boughs. We sometimes put small
cedar bush in our poultry house, which
completely eyterminates them.

Jolly Girls

1t is not the less Il serious question
what shall be done with the American
jolly girl, of what she will do with her
self. When a young girl gets impa-
tient Of restraint, and anxious, first
and chief of all, to have a ''jolly time, y
she is IN a position of at least possible
peril. From the jolly girls in certain
ranks in society the Jennie Cramers
are recruited; girls who mean no harm
but are so careless of conventionalities
that they are in danger before they
are aware. Our social customs allows
a freedom between the sexes which is
wise and healthy, but contains perilous
possibilities. There is room at least
for the inquiry whether what may be
called the calisthenic craze, the culti-
vation of "manish" sports, games and
forms of physical exercise among girls,
may not have been the occasion in
part for the diminished gentleness and
womanliness observable in the jolly
girl of the period. A keen old lady
is said to have comforted a young
mother who was deploring her lot at
having no daughter, with the remark,
''be thankful, my dear, you have none.
In these days-who knows? she might
have turned out jolly girl" Prob
ably there are good many mothers,
English and American, who appreci-
ate the force of this consolation.--[ Bos-
ton Journal.
