A Long Voyage in a Dory.

D."
The telegraph recently announced
that the little dorv Pacific. that left San
Francisco last August for Australia. un-
der the command and sole control Of
Captain Bernard Gillboy, reached her
destination in the first part OF February.
The little vessel is only eighteen feet
long. six feet beam. and thirty inchesin
depth. A log was carefully kept by
the Captain. and the following is an ex-
tract: ..Dory Pacific sailed from San
Francisco August 9, 1882, with five
months provisions on board and l40
gallons of water. Had good weather
for several weeks About 120 degrees
west saw many small fish; also dozens
of sharks, which tapped their tails
against the boat alarmingly. Made a
harpoon and speared several, but could
not get them on board. Slept one, two
and three hours at a time in the after
part Of the craft. and had to rig ascare
crow to keep the sharks away. On

state that he was taken down with ty-
phoid fever soon after his rescue, prob
ably the result of his exposure.

An Accurate Time-Piece.

While on the subject Of
Waltham watches, we may mention that
we have seen letter from the Com
mander of the Gordon Castle Castle
line of Steam Packets, who was fortu-
nate enough TO save life at sea, and who
forghis gallant conduct was presented in
September last with Gold Keyless
Waltham Watch by the President OF the
United States, on bef alf of the London
Local Marine Board. q Referring to this
Presentation Watch, he says: 1"When
j left London the watch was six seconds
fast, and on my arrival at Singapore it
was only three seconds slow, most ex-
traordinary performance for watch, as
j carried it on my person the whole
time. 1 compared it every day with my
chronometers on the passage out, and it
seldom or ever differed one second from
them; in fact, | found it almost, if not
rs good as my chronometers, which is a
great deal to say for watch carried
about and subject to all kinds of jolts. y

Not a Model Detective.

Yesterday afternoon young lady,
wearing look of innocence upon her
coUIntenance, entered police headquar-
ters and glancing around from one to
another of the many men assembled
there, as if searching for some partlcu-
lar person. walked up to one OF the
clerks and timidly asked for detect

"Any particular one2,' asked the

half whisper. = - :.

I will present him to you.
In few moments one OF the detect

brother officers as caring more for his

came in and was introduced to the

This question brought blush to the
officers face aad for second he seemed
staggered and at loss for an answer,
but he soon recovered his composure,

English Investments in American Cattle.

According to Western operator it
appears that during the last few years
the English have invested heavily in
American stock cattle, and are now
reaping a rich reward for their VEN
lures. 1t is estimated that nearly one
sixth of all the new herds in the coun-
try are owned by English capital. That
the English have hit it so far there is
not a doubt, but whether their good
fortune Will continue is quite another
matter. Many say that the present high
price Of beef is due to the large body of
cattle withdrawn from the market to
raise herds. The enterprise of the
English has aroused the Americans, and
American capital is now seeking invest
ment in cattle-raising out West 1t is
the large amount of foreign capital
seeking investment .in cattle that has
driven the price up so high. Cattle this
spring are higher than ever before for
stock purposes. and twenty-eight dol
lars, thirty dollars and thirty-two dol
lars per head are not considered too
high prices to ask. | hope soon 10 see
cattle lower, when they can be bought
for say sixteen dollars to twenty-five dol
lars per head. Not that l am sanguine
that such will be the case. The cattle
business has been so long neglected that
it can not be picked up at once in the
face of a population OF $4,000, ,OG0 OF
people and their enormous demands.

Breaking Steers.

The mode of breaking steers prac-
ticed in Kentucky is thus described:
Where the establishment is large one,
and there are some to be broken in
every year, the fixture and practice
here recommended would seem to be
eligible and judicious: ''Get strong
post, eight feet long by two thick; plant
it three and a half feet in the ground,
well rammed; round or level the top Of
the post and leave a pin tn it, or make
a mortice and insert a strong two-inch
pin of tough wood in it, perpendicularly
ct the top, six or eight inches long.
Then get a tough sapling. twenty-five
feet long; measure off at the small end
of it the usual length of a yoke, and
bore the holes for your bows. Then
bore three holes, or more if you choose,
four, eight and twelve feet from the
other end of the sapling, of the size of
the pin in the top Of the post, giving
the shortest lever first, draw your steers
up, let them be young or old, gentle or
wild, it makes no difference; yoke them
tothe end of the pole; but instead of
tying their tails together, if you wish
to avoid bob-tail oxen, tie their loins
together with q good rope, wrap up
their head halters, clear the front, and
let them 90; round and round they will
90 with rush; drunk-drunker. still
they grow, until groaning, 7down they
drop. For q while they lie painting and
looking wild; then leap as if suddenly
frightened, rush round and round again,
grow drunk and drop again. Leave
them, they will repeat the experiment,
until, reeling, they will stop or stand.
In a few hours you may lead them
around by their halters. Uncouple
them from the pole, or yoke them to
your cart, and drive them where you
please with safety. - Toledo Blade.

Prof. J. P Stelle, agricultural ed
itor of the Mobile Register, thinks the
Southern States admirably adapted to
raising hogs, and that by the new re-
frigerating Inventions pork may be
saved at the South as well as anywhere
else. The long continued warm wealth
er is favorable to fattening and cheap
pork, since hogs can not be kept up and
warmed by stoves and wood fires incold
weather, and it is expensive to warm
them by heat-producing food like corn
and peas. He thinks pork can be made
at less cost in the South than in the
North.
