"THE HOUSE THAT JACK BuILT.'
A Curious Account of the Origin OF
the WeII-Known Nursery story.

As the occupations and pleasures OF
childhood produce a powerful impress
sion ON the memory, it is probable al
most every reader who has passed his
/ infantile day in an English nursery rec
objects the delight with which he re-
i. peated that puerile, jingling legend,
'sThe House that Jack Built. Very few.
however, says writer in the London
Congregational Magazine, are at all
aware of the original form of its COM
position, or the particular subject 1t
was designed to illustrate. Fewer still
would suspect that it is only an accom-
modated and altered translation of an
ancient parabolical hymn sung by the
Jews. at the feast of the Passover, and
commemorative of the principal events
in the history of that people. Yet such
is actually the fact. The original, IN
the Chaldee language, is now lying be-
fore me, and / will here furnish them
with literal translation of it, aud then

All who are interested in the prosperity
Of the country. says the N. Y. Tribune.
will be pleased to know of the success
which has attended the cultivation Of a
large sorghum plantation at Rio Grande,
NJ. Within the last year 1000 acres Of
apparently poor land at Rio Grande were
planted. and the sugar already made and
in sight is 2s5.oOo pounds; $4,000 gallons
of molasses were also on hand on October
II. The quality of the cane juice is said
to be richer. and the sugar better in its
degree OF purity, than the average Of
Louisiana sugar-cane. The company ex-
poets this year to clear $5S.o00, and is so
we'll pleased with the experiment that the
acreage planted will be doubled. The
committee appointed by the National
Academy of Sciences last year to investi-
gate sorghum experiments have visited Rio
Grande and are said to be greatly pleased
with what they have seen.

rHEJEANnErrE.
Examination OF DanenhoWer Continued
by the Committee.

WASHINGTON, Oct Is.
In the Jeanette board of enquiry, Thurs
day morning, Lieut.. Danenhower was re-
called. In reply to question by the court
he stated that judging from the experience of
whale ships and of the Jeanette herself.
the chances of getting free after once being
beset in ice such as is usually found off
Wrangel Land, are very slight.
Witness was asked: Do you know of any
thing in the management Of the Jeanette
which subsequent experience proved prejudi-
cial, and which could have been avoided?
His reply was: Its question of judgment
which is called for by the court. and when l
embarked on the expedition was to abide by
the judgment of the commander and | don't
wish TO oppose my Judgment to that of the
commander or others unless it il, absolutely
required Of me. The court was then cleared
for consultation.
Witness was asked to state all he knew of
the events of June II and ID. attending upon
the loss of the Jeanette.
Al was convalescent at the time and went
on deck at l p. NJ. June 18th for an hours
exercise. The weather was clear and pleas
ant with light breeze from the northeast.
The ship lay secured to the ice on the star
board side, and as l remember was headed
little east of south. The ice on the port side
200 !, ards distant with smooth water between
it and the ship. No connected leads at the
time through which the ship could have been
navigated, but in the vicinity were number
of patches of water like ponds, in the ice.
The men went out to hunt as usual. About
two p. NJ, noticed that the ice on the port
side commenced to move towards the ship.
1t was Immediately reported to the captain
by the watch, and the captain came on deck.
He ordered the hunters recalled and they re-
turned one by one to the ship, the last reach
ing her about three p. NJ. The ice then was
in contact with the ship and she was heeling
Is to 90 degrees to starboard with a heavy
pressure under the port bilge. The captain
was on the bridge giving orders about the
boats, provisions. etc, with all the crew on
deck. During the first pressure the ship was
forced astern. and when the pressure relaxed
fell back into her original place. The pres
sure was very heavy and gave forth Kissing.
crunching sound. Several times the pressure
relaxed and the ship righted. About $40,
the machinest, Walter Lee, reported ice
coming through the starboard coal bunker,
and the captain gave the order ''lower away"
to the men previously stationed at the davitts.
At this moment Melville came on deck and
contradicted the statement of Lee, and the
order to hold on the boats was Immediately
given. Between IS and $50 a quantity of
provisions was placed on the ice to the star
board of the ship. About $50 one watch was
sent to supper and word passed to the officers
to get tea. At that time the ship was heeling
more than 20 degrees to starboard.
At this point the court adjourned till to-
morrow.

Those who are dissatisfied with the
political institutions of the United States
can go to Finland. where a place may be
found in which women reign supreme.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that this is the
only place on earth where women WELD
sovereign authority. The disciples of the
sect, whether married or living in con-
cubinage. take an oath to submit them
selves entirely to their wife or mistress.
and to confess to her once week. On
their side the women choose one of their
number as sovereign. whose duty it is to
see that the men remain faithful to their
oath. and to punish them if they trans
gress. There are some villages entirely
devoted to this new religion. The only
analogy to this sect is to be found in Sibe-
ria, where the Purifiers recognize equally
the authority Of women.
