An Exciting Scene in Mid Ocean.

"A passenger by the Steamship Dacca,
from Madras, India, bound for London
sends from Alden an interesting account
of an exciting scence which he witnessed
during storm in the Indian ocean. The
vessel encountered the monsoon a few
days after leaving Columbo, and mad a
rough time of it, until the gale became so
violent that canvas had to- be taken in.
awnings furled and things made as snug
as possible.
The correspondent describes what fol-
lowed: / came on deck at A. NJ; it was
blowing fiercely, and the spray coming
over the sheets. There were three of US
on deck when the bell struck-a Miss. a
Mr.. and myself. We were holding on to
our chairs, which were firmly dashed to
the inner cabin skylights, under the lee of
the ladies' saloon. Part Of the crew were
working hard to get the starboard life
boat inboard, when a bigger roll to the
windward warned us Of what was coming.
"Hold on!'' some one shouted. The chairs
rushed forward on their lashings. The
deck stood upright. In came the sea over
the gunwale. over the taffrail, up to our
waists, lifted the life boat out of its
shackles, carried il overheard, smashing
away stanchions and davils, and out to
sea. Then came the horrid cry Of ''Man
overheard"
The helm was put down. the engine re-
versed, and back she went on dubious
search-all the more SO as sharks had been

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

SICK HRADACHE.-This complaint ID
the result of eating too much and exerting
too little. In nine cases out of ton the
cause is that the stomach was not able to
digest the food last introduced into it,
either from its having been unsuitable or
excessive in quantity. A diet of bread and
butter, with ripe fruits or berries, with
moderate, continuous exercise in the open
air, sufficient to keep up gentle perspi-
ration; would cure almost every case in a
short time. Two tablespoonful of DOW
dered charcoal in half glass of water.
drank, generally give instant relief. The
above remedies may do in some, but not in
all cases. A sovereign remedy for this
complaint is not easily tound. Sick head
ache is periodical, and is the signal of dis
tress which the stomach puts up to inform
us that there IS an over alkaline condition
of its fluids; that it needs a natural acid
to restore the battery to Its normal work
ing condition. When the first symptoms
of headache appear. take teaspoonful
OF lemon, juice clear; fifteen minutes before
each meal, and the same dose at bedtime:
follow this up until all Of the symptoms
are passed, taking no other remedies, and
you will soon be able to go free from your
nuisance.

1t is told of Modjeska. now playing in
Boston, by an English correspondent of a
Washington paper. 1t appears she was
recently asked in fashionable London
drawing room to give recitation in her
native togue. At first she was unwilling
to comply, declaring that the recitation
could scarcely be interesting, as nobody in
the room was supposed to know Polish.
Yielding to the opportunities of those
around her, she commenced ish rec
itation. AS she proceeded her eyes seemed
to flash fire, and her audience were almost
spell bound by her impassioned delivery.
They could Of course, only imagine what
she was saying, but they presumed she
was uttering the aspirations Of her coun
trYmen fer freed dom, and denouncing the
oppressors Of Poland. When the recita-
ton was finished the most enthusiastic
plaudlts rewarded Nine. Modjeska's eff
forts. 1t looked rather suspicious, how
over, to see her husband and two or three
Polish friends IN fits of laughter, as the
company made their way out of the room.
1t was then explained she had been only
reciting the ordinary numbers from / to
leo.

LEARN TO BE BRIEF.--Long visits, long
stories, long explanations and long prayers
seldom profit those who have to do with
them. Life is short. Time is short
Moments are precious. Learn to condense,
abridge and intensity. We can endure
many an ache and ill if it is soon over,
while even pleasures grow insipid. and
pain intolerable, if they are protacted be-
yond the limits Of reason and convenience
Learn to be brief. Lop off branches stick

ing. The boat was presently seen some
200 yards off, keel uppeymost. Soon afte r
the two men were observed clinging to II.
Then came an exciting two hours, during
which we steamed after the boat, which
was drifting rapidly toward the st. But
turning ship like the Dacca Is very
slow business. and as she hung Ill the
winds eye iib was hoisted to bring her
round. BY the tiazle this was done the
; boat, with its 2pitifnl-looking crew, was

The FIRST officer, Mr.. Ingram, sprang

AS he came down again the boat had drift

PECULIAR EPITAPHs.-A writer speak
scription can be placed on tombstone in
French cemetery till it has been seen
and approved by the Mayor. Notwith-
standing this fact some of the epitaphs are
quite as peculiar as any that could be
found in less careful hands. As, for in
stance, the following from Pere, Lachaise:
died at the age IS years, Pierre Tos-
sier, blacksmith. Heaven counts one an
gel more.''
An epitaph on French tombstone that
ed upon as just no epitaph at all but the
author of one epitaph in Ivy cemetery has
far surpassed all of his competitors in this
repect. Having given the age of the de-
ceased and the time of his death, and emu
merated few OF his prominent virtues he
closed with these words:
"He was little angel here on earth
what can he be above?"
The French have weakness for speci-
flying all of the persons by whom the de-
ceased was regretted. Here is an exact
translation of an inscription In Montpar-
nasse Cemetery.
"Here lies -, who died May IA, 1877,
at the age of nine months, regretted by
her father, her mother, her grandfather,
her two grand-mothers. her uncles, her
aunts, her cousins, male aud female, and
all the friends of the family. Little angel
pray for u.s."
The following inscription from Mont
mart seems worthy of productions:
"Sacred to the memory of little ]. D.,
born on the morning of June T. 1862 died
on the afternoon of the same day. Oh!
why coulds't thou not have been born one
day later?''

The Dome of the Capitol.

I For the curious who go poking around
after queer sights. two very interesting
ones are to be seen now in Washington
one of the painting of the iron dome of
the Capitol and the other the always in
teresting work on the Washington Monu-
ment. The work ON the dome of the cap
ltol is parilous, and the workmen employ
ed are Of the best aud are paid fancy pri-
ces for the terrific risk. Nothing but a
slender rope ladder is between them and
eternity. The pair ting of the dome cost
about SIS 600, and ~ 600 pounds OF white
lead are use! in it. The contraction ana
expansion Of the immense mass of iron
causes the s'atue of the Goddess of Liber-
ty to vibrate no less than eight and half
inches. Some coast survey work was 60
ing on some time since near the Capitol,
and the engineers took the highest point
on the head Of the statue as their angle of
observation. But every day there was
strong yariation-everybody puzzled over
1t, and 1t defad the mathematical skill of
all the officers employed IN the work until
it was discovered that the marble figure
swayed back and forth under the distur-
bance OF the vast body Of iron. All over
the dome there are assures for the expan-
sion of the iron. 1t it were solid some
bitterly cold night the great dome would
burst into thousand fragments. The
Washington Monument begins to look
very grand. Many persons of cultivated
taste thought it would only be pretentious,
not imposing, but it has noble and SIM
pie grandeur of its own. 1t is off in de.
serted spot. between the fish ponds attach
ed to the National Museum and the Smith
sonian Institute, and nobody seems to go
d. wn there to see how we'll tie great work
is going on. 1t is near the Potomac marsh
es. that have given Washington its name
for malaria, but when teey are filled up, in
compliance with The act passed at the last
session of Congress, the vicinity of the
monument will be among the most desira-
ole locations IN Washington. 1t has been
suggested that when the great obelisk is
finished, as New York is too careless or
dis statue, that 1t should surmount the
tallest monument in the world. 1t does
not seem a bad idea either. One of the
finest feats of engineering ever performed
in this country was the taking out of the
foundation of the column when it was al
ready $50 feet high, and putting in an en-
tirely new foundation. 1t Was found when
the work was recommended on it last year
that sufficient provision had not been
made for the masses of stone that were to
rest upon the underpinnlng, SO every pieco
of the old foundation, block at a time,
was taken out and its place supplied with
new, stronger and larger blocks, the foun-
dation was carried several feet lower and
about twenty feet beyond on one side. and
4 now it is root into the earth until another
| deluge. Think of the grand effect Of the
gigantic statue on top of this structure
holding a torch lighted by the electric
light blazing on the white dome of the
| Capitol! 1t would almost equal Mr.. Van
derbilt's dining-room window curtains.
