4 Vessels Stores.

Some idea may be given by the fol-
lowing list, which represents the stores
or the provisions taken by the Enter
prise when she was fitted out at the
Washington navy yard few months
ago The provisions were only cal
culated to last about four months:
Eight thousand, five hundred and
seventy three pounds bread, IL barrels
beef, rs barrels pork, 1440 pounds fresh
meat, 8 barrels -four, 700 pounds rice,
800 pounds apples, 741 pounds pickles,
2437 pounds sugar, 216 pounds tea,
1910 pounds coffee, 432 pounds butter,
800 gallons beans, SO gallons molasses,
"a gallons vinegar, $50 pounds toma-
toes, 108 bread bags, 1000 pounds fresh
beef, 1000 pounds vegetables.
The above articles, while not numer-
Gus, comprise the ration list of the
United States Navy. No distinction is
made between officers and men, but
the former always commute their ra-
tions. In other words they take money
instead of the provisions which the
government provides and buy their
own mess. If they wish they can live
like princes, but the expense must
come out of their own pockets. Wash

Florida Panthers.
From the Palaka Herald.

On Saturday last three colered men
where out deer hunting near Whites
log camp, back Of Rollistown. One Of
them was at his stand, and the dogs
were heard coming in that direction.
Soon there was terrible commotion
in the bushes, the sound coming
toward him. The darby, thinking it
was a deer, stopped so as to get fair
shot, when suddenly a tremendous
panther confronted him. Hearing a
noise behind, he looked round, and, to
his surprise and horror, saw another
in tree, which he fred at and killed
just as it was in the act of springiug
upon him. The other Immediately
escaped, much, as the darby says, to
his delight The one killed measured
seven feet, and the negro estimates the
male to have been twice as large.

Dog Saves Dog.
Newburg journal.

A little dog fell off the docks the
other day into an open place in the
ice, and babe fair to drown; but large
dog, which saw the occurrence, leaped
in after him. The large animal took
hold of the small one and kept him up,
but after padding about in the water
some time, found no place where they
could get out. Some persons who
were looking on then came to the res
cue. They let sMr. Donohue's boat
bridge down to the surface of the water,
and the large dog swan there and both
were assisted out.

DE LEssEPs, OF Suez canal fame, re-
ports that recent explorations make
it plain that the desert Of Sahara
can be converted into an inland sea; anc
that this can be accomplished by using
a hundred excavating machines equal
in aggregate capacity to los, 900 men.
Precisely, what good will come of such
an interference with the geographical
arrangements of nature is not 50 plain.
Its climatic effects on southern Europe
are somewhat feared. The great desert
has been regarded as imparting warmth
to the atmosphere of the country i'm
mediately north of the Mediterranean
making the climate milder. If thi:
great engineering scheme should spot
their weather, the Europeans would
wish NJ Do Laaseps had left the worl
Of the Almighty alone.
