High Tides in England.

The spring tides of March and Sep.
tember always rise considerably higher
than those in any other months of the
year, but it is only when a combination
of astronomical and atmospheric cir
cumstances favors their development
that their effects become remarkable.
The magnbude of the lunar and solar
attractions on the ocean is matter OF
accurate prediction; the disturbing in
fiuence of the atmospheric pressure,
both as regards direction and magni-
tude, is tickle and uncertain from year
to year. 1t SO happens that at the end
of November each of the constituent
forces by which the tides are generated
is at its maximum, or very nearly so.
1t depends entirely@n the weather how
far their effects may be augmented.
But there is this to be noticed, that the
night tides considerably exceed the day
tides by reason of what is technically
called the "diurnal inequality" The
explanation of this inequality has up to
the present time been a difficulty, and
even now the latest Interpretation of it
has been generally published. Old
fashioned observers used to say that its
periodicity coincded with that of "the
dews," and they supposed the two
classes of phenomena were in some
way connected.
Nothing, of course, could be more
foolish than such an idea. The "diur-
nal inequality of the tides can be most
satisfactorily accounted for. Although
to an ordinary observer the day and
night tides seem to approach our shores
under precisely similar conditions, yet,
in reality, neither in their course of
travel nor in their mode of production
do they exactly resemble each other.
The largest tide has its magnitude aug
mented by the fact that the crest of the
tide wave which follows the moon trav
els daily from the Southern to the
Northern Hemisphere in direction
most nearly coincident with that of the
great expanse of water in the Atlantic
Ocean over which it passes; the smaller
tide has its magnitude diminished not
only because it is due to the action of
the moon on that side of the earth most
remote from it, but more than all be-
cause its course is diagonal to that of
the former, the tide-wave crossing the
Atlantic, roughly speaking, in the direc-
ton of its breadth, while in the other
case it crosses in the direction of its
length Cor London Times.

An Italian Mother.

In some of the picturesque italian
towns there are no inns. Usually,
however, the tourist can find a family
willing to receive him for night, and
to do their best to make the stranger
| comfortable. One evening at Palestri-
ma, Mr.. Story, the sculptor, and his
| friend were forced to accept the hospi-
tality of an old woman. They found her
character" and were much amused
at the conflicts between herloye for her
pet chickens and her anxiety to provide
good supper for her guests.
As they sat at the table they saw her
take chicken after chicken out of an old
basket, smooth down its feathers, press
it to her heart and mutter expressions
of affection and regret. Seeing that
she could not make up her mind which
one to kill, her guests cried OUT
"What are you doing?"
"Oh! my young signors, am trying
to make up my mind which of them [
shall kill for your supper; but can't,
can't; they are SO beautiful, so dear
to mep'
"Please don't kill them for usr' we
cried.
Don't you want them?" she said,
with smile of satisfaction. ION my
word, could not kill them; they are so
beautiful, so DEAR" she kept repeating,
as she came in and seated herself at our
table and began to tell us her history.
Il had thirteen children" she said,
''most of them sons; strong, broad
shouldered fellows. like me-" and she
struck her broad, solid breast as she
spoke.
"But enc of them last year died. He
was the eldest. There is his portrait on
the wall. Oh, what beautiful, strong
fellow he was! But he is deadP' and
she wiped away the tears with her
apron. $50 good! so beautiful she
exclaimed, as she looked at his portrait.
But happening in the midst of her
grief to glance through the open doorof
the kitchen, where domestic was cook
ing our supper, she cried out:
''Turn that steak, you fool! 1t will be
spoiled! How stupid these people are"
Then speaking again of her son-"Ah!
he was so beautiful, so good, and he
died! There's that pot boiling over, and
it will be all wasted or spoiledP'
"Well, the day before he died he was
perfectly well in the morning, and he
went out; but towards noon he came
back and said--Are you fool-to the
seryant--or not a foolp Don't you
know enough to fry potato, or must
come thereP
"Wen, my son said he didn't feel
well, and went to bed And the doctor
said-There, that's enough now; the
Signorini are hungry. And the doctor
said he thought my son had the heart
disease. How can these sagnorim eat
without forksP
1.-The others are all living. but he is
dead. Look at me-" she exclaimed,
shaking her fist in the air. 81 get

A Ducal SchOOlmaster.

A few months ago the report ran the
rounds of the press that the wealthy
Duchess of Galivra had bestowed two
splendid estates upon the Pope for use
during his lifetime. The story of the
enorn oui increase of this old lady's
riches is not generally known, and it is
certainly a curious one. The late Duke
possessed fortune of 800, 600, 900 francs,
and an only son. During his fathers
lifetime the heir declared his intention
of renouncing the world. Instead Of
following the examples OF the Kings and
mobiles of earlier ages when they were
seized with this passion and retiring into
a cloister, the young man, at the age Of
twenty, crossed iuto the territory Of
Nice, and applied for situation as a
village schoolmaster. His father re-
garded it as Il mere freak, and sent his
son every year a sum of 300, 600 francs.
The young man accepted it, but refused
to spend it upon himself, sending the
whole to Paris, with request that
it should be expended anonymously upon
the poor of the French capital, while he
himself existed entirely upon the income
which he earned as schoomaster. The
brilliant prospects of the village peda-
gogue could not he kept, and after he
had been at work for three years the
French Minister of Education sent him
a nomination as "Ollicer de academic"
Meanwhile the father died, and the &C.
centric schoolmaster had become the
Duke of Gailivra, and the rightful pos
SCISSOR of enormous riches. He de-
termined, however, to adhere to his vow
Of remuneration. He wrote polite letter
10 the French minister, declining the
honor which had been offered him, saying
that his three years service was too mean
10 be compensated with such dignity
The young Duke Is still contented teach
ing the children of the peasants in his
Nice village, and never intelferes with
his mother, regarding himself dead to
world in which he once lived.-LondOn

The Sandy Fly Of Bagdad.

II Is commonly said that there are no
bugs in Arabia, the dry heat killing
them all off and certainly all the names
given for the creature in Arabic die
tiOnaries are either taken from the
Turkish or manufactured. Considering
what vast field for blood-suckers in
Bagdad, and what myrads of this par
ticular species are constantly coming
into it, if only from Bombay, in the
boxes of travellers and pilgrims, what
becomes of them all Is a problem in
natural history, anything like extreme
heat, even surprising that to have the
effect alleged, occurring only between
June and September. Anyhow, it was
comfort to feel safe ON that score at least
in turning in for the night in billet
which, if there had been a member OF
the family in all Bagdad, looked as if it
would have been sure to hold him. But
morning brought the discovery that if
the bug was absent he was represented
by sand-fy with a body hardly bigger
than mites, pair of wings like tiny
sails and a poison-injeeting and blood
sucking apparatus of extraordinary cali

The scalding torment in his feet
soon made the half-dressed victim fain
to pull off his socks and rub until
the skin was raw, in hopes of getting
out the venom. Some even ascrlbe to
this cause the singular liberation of the
skin to which natives of Bagdad,
especially in childhood, are liable, and
which seldom fails to attack European
and other strangers during their first
wear of residence. Either from the
season when these sores generally break
out being that when the date is nearly
ripe or from the scar left by them re-
sembling that fruit in size and contour,
they are commonly spoken of as ''date
Sores The number of people in
Bagdad whose faces are more or less
disfgured in this way frightens most
newcomers. Hitherto the result OF
medical and surgical practice has gone
to show that on whatever constitutional,
climatic or external cause or causes
depending, the affliction, like so many
others, is best left alone. In the healthy
it runs its course in about year, some
times only one sore appearing, but
oftener a succession of them. They are
not painful or dangerous; and, except
when on tender spots or on parts essen
tial to locomotion, natives of Bagdad
seem not to mind them-one instance
more of the eel growing used to the

A SOmnambulist.

A Constable named Deneer was on
duty in Stonehouse, England, Novem-
Der q, when a man rapidly passed him
attired only in trousers and shirt, The
Constable watched him, and, seeing
him make for the quay, followed and
secured him in time to prevent his fall
ing into the water. The Constable then
discovered that the man was in a state
of somnambulism Finding that no
efforts could arouse him, Deneer took
the somnambulist to Mr.. Lert, sur
geon, and that gentleman succeeded in
waking him. The man then stated
that his name was Frederick Aker, that
he lived in King street, Plymouth, and
that he was in the habit of walking in
his sleep.

An Explanation.
SALISBURY. VT. De

SALISBURY, VT, Dec. 20, 1858.
Editor Register and journal: ! notice in your
issue of December IA Il communication under the
head of A Correction" which 1t seems to me
is likely to mislead and prejudice the public in
reference to matters at present under cOnsidera-
tor. Now, sir, an explanation in brief of the
facts in the matter referred to Is this some time
ago, after an acceptable number of sermons
preached on trial, Rev. j. K. Bruce was engaged
by very full vote of the church To- supply the
pulpit of the Congregational church for SIX
months, and the money was raised with very
little effort. From the first to the present Mr..
Bruce has shown himself to be very clear, Tor
chile and highly instructive preacher, practical
as wei as doctrlnal in his teachings, and very
earnestly devoted to his work. Soon after he
came here, some of his opposers, for reasons
best known to themselves, set about writing to
the place of his former residence, and by chance
came upon two more OF Bruces personal en-
emies who came to the front with doc hments
and letters relating to Mr.. Isruce's antecedents,
which at his ordination had all been before n
searching council of twelve O2) members of the
Marshall (Mich.) conference, selected on wholly
impartial grounds. This council decided that
MIR. Bruce had been vindicated, and voted in Ia
vor OF his ordination Therefore, said documents
and letters apply to us IN no case Whatever, anu
the unn cessary stir has caused quite an I'M
pleasant feeling in the community. In reference
10 the resolution referred to in the article under
the head of "a COrrectOn';' after hearing one
side of the case, and before any due dellberation
or facts In the case had been made known IN the
matter, anu quite against the desire or best ju e
ment of some as to the best way TO dispose oil the
case a resolution was framed and signed (as
statetD by all present but never would have
been signed by some after second thought, and,
Deing,informal, never has been presented TO Mr..
Bruce. he matter is at present open for inves-
tigation, and MIR. Bruce is anxious that the mat
ter should be cleared up, and is only waiting for
charges, if any, to be preferred. If those whose
correspondence has brought this matter up have
anything TO offer against Mr.. Bruce, his charac-
ter life since his ordination, they are request
ed to present them in an official manner, with
out unnecessary delay, that II fair and impartial
trial may be given him under the divine law.

was wonderful success in that time
as from the tedious and slow method be-
fore employed in making window sash
by hand, this set of machinery would.
with two expert hands, turn out 1900
lights of the ordinary sizes of 7X0, SXlC
or 6xs sash, then for the most part used,
in weeks time, and first-rate article.
This set of machinery was also adapt
ed and used for the manufacture of win
dow blinds and doors, but was not sc
well fitted for that use. 1t was COM
pleted and put in operation in April OIL
May, 1880. The first foreman in that

making sash by hand and the first sash
charged on the books of Mr.. upper was
to Elijah Cloyes, as follows:

in cash soon, if paid in grain next winter

This set of machinery was in constant
use until April, 1851, when the factory
was burned, and Immediately rebuilt by
A. p. Upper, son of the originator.
In the invention and construction of
the several machines Mr.. Upper was as
sisted by Charles Nichols and Archelus
Upper, both men of extraordinary in
ventive and mechanical skill.
1t is also believed that Mr. Upper was
the first to conceive and put in operation
a circular saw mill, which, with the aid
of Collins Andrews, an expert machinist
then residing in Brandon, was put in OPP
Grafton in the lower room of the sash fac
tory building in 1884 or 1885; and said
Andrews, by the direction of Mr.. Tup-
per, constructed and put into that circu-
lar saw mill the first grated or inserted
tooth circular saw ever employed in saw
ing logs into boards. A. Z. UPPER.
