SHOOTING A WATERsPOUT.
How Capt. DOwling's 12-POunder Dis
turbed Three Miles of Sea.

How Capt. DOwling's 12-POunder Dis
turbed Three Miles of Sea.
In the minds of many people, saws the
New York Herald, of the 18th inst. the
old sea Captains tale of shooting water
spout ranks as pleasing fiction gotten
up for the benefit of land lubbers and ma
rines, in the same category with the fa-
bles in Which mermaids and sea serpents
take star parts.
Such a suggestion would be resented
with Indignation by Capt. Bowling, of the
steamship African. Capt. Bowling arrived
yesterday from Baracoa with a cargo of
green bananas. The African is a much
larger steamer than those which usually
engage in the fruit trade, but it was
not large enough to prevent the Captains
trembling when huge waterspOut was
seen bearing down upon it a few davs
ago. When first noticed the waterspout.
according TO the report of Capt. Bowling,
was July three miles away. A few
minutes later the steamer was staggering
under white squall of furious energy.
rms only lasted 30 seconds, but it fairly
made things dance on board the steamer.
Iopsalls and windsails were torn to tat
tiers, loose dishes in the cooks galley re-
signed their positions and their useful
ness, and Capt. Bowling afIirms that the
wind actually gifted the lifeboats off of
their gripes," whatever these may be.
When the squall was over the water
spout was seen less than quarter of a
mile away and bearing down upon the
steamer in most uncomfortable man
ner. Capt. Bowling had on board an old
twelve FOUNDER, which he caused to be
loaded to the muzzle and fired point blank
at the neck of the waterspout.
The conclusion was too much for the
column of water, the Captain saws, and
the huge volume came down upon the
sea with dull roar that would have done
credit to Niagara. Capt. Bowling de-
clares that the fall of this immense mass
caused high sea for distance of two or
three miles about the spot. There must
have been hundreds of tons of water swept
up by the wind, which he thus restored to
the natural level.

In little book Just issued from the press
of Messrs. Scribner g. Wexford, New York.
a large number of practical, though novel,
receipts are given for making cakes of
various kinds, from the informal griddle
cake to the stately bride cake, without
eggs, by the use of the Royal Baking Pow
der. Experienced hOusekeepers inform
us that this custom has already obtained
large precedence over old fashioned meth
obs in economical kitchens, and that the
product is frequently superior to that
where eggs are used, and that less butter
IS also required for shortening purposes.
The advantage is not alone in the saving
effected. but in the avoidance of the trou-
BILE attendant upon securing fresh eggs
and the annoyance of an occasional cake
spoiled by the accidental introduction of
an egg that has reached little too nearly
the incubatory period. The Royal Baking
Powder also invariably insures perfectly
light, sweet, and handsome cake, or when
used for griddle cakes to be eaten hot en-
ables their production in the shortest pos
sible space of time, and makes them most
tender and delicious, as well as entirely
wholesome. There is no other prepara-
ton like it,

A TARIFF FOR TEMPERANCE
ONLY.
Switzerland Protecting Herself by HigI
Duties on Brandy.

switzerland Protecting Herself by High
Duties on Brandy.
An extraordinary step was taken to-day,
says Berne cable dispatch of the 18th
inst to the New York World, by the Fed
eral Council of Switzerland to promote
the cause of temperance. The measure
was forced upon the National Legislature
by one of the most severe, prolonged and
intelligent agitatiOns against the use of
alcoholic drinks ever carried on in a mod
ern State. An incontestible array OF sta
tlstcs was last fall placed before the
Council, showing that since the era of
low duties upon imported spirits their
consumption among the peasantry had so
enormously increased that the ratio per
capita was greater than among any other
European people.
The Federal Council appointed a special
commission to investigate the subject and
their report was submitted yesterday. 1t
states that in some districts wherein the
peasantry were formerly noted for their
energy and thrift large numbers of the
people have become lazy. shiftless and be-
soften, and great numbers of competencies
have been dissipated away, leaving be-
hind universal degree Of poverty of a
kind which has engendered crimes of yiO-

have been squandered away by intemper-
ance and its consequent improvidence.
leaving the children nothing but debt.
paupersm or flight. The " chief
DEVIL" say the Commissioners, (which
has done this disastrous work is
the cheap brandy of France. This de-
testable drink has been allowed to enter
switzerland under an insignificant duty,
and the result has been the alarming in
crease in brandy drunkenness which has
of late years grown upon our people. with
its attendant curses. We find French
brandy selling everywhere in Switzerland
at frame per litre. Its cheapness has
enabled it to displace even the soup ard
the coffee which formerly were doled out
to the labOrers in the rural fields, and the
French brandy bottle is now found upon
the table and in the cupboard in hundreds
of peasant homes where formerly alco-
hollc drinks were seldom if ever seen'
The commission recommended that the
brandy curse be exercised by some ex-
IRENE effort of the national power, and
suggest duty so high that it will prove
absolutely prOhibitOry.
The Federal Council to-day resolved TO
at once raise the duty on all imported
brandies to such figure as will place
their purchase beyond the means of all
labOrers and peasants.

VIsIT no GUANO ISLANDS.
No Harborage for the Loading of carg

No HarbOrage for the Loading of a Cargo
The schooner Charles E. Moody, Cap
tain Gates, says the Philadelphia Record
Of the 18th inst, arrived at Almond street
wharf yesterday, from the Islands of
Tristan d'Acunha, situated in the South
Atlantic Ocean, in the most desOlate spot
in the world. She stopped at Martinique
to get a cargo of sugar. The Moody was
chartered by New York parties to 90 to
these islands to secure a cargo Of guanO.
The vessel was compelled to abandon the
enterprise, owing to her inability to make
a landing, there being no harbOrs on the
coast. Capt. Gates, on January y, Wis
tied in a small boat both Tristan d'Acun-
ha and Nightingale Island. Nightingale
is uninhabIted. The other island has
ninety-seyen Inhabitants, descendants of
shipwrecked sailors. All were enjOving
good health, and the majority of the pOpu-
latiOn were women, who are described as
being very tall and handsome. They
seemed sharp at trading, but were with
out education and very INDECENT and lazy.
The Captain also describes q lake of
fresh water which was situated on the top
of a mountain 5000 feet above the surface
of the sea, and in which the tide ebbed
and flowed. No merchant vessel has ever
been known to visit the islands, and there
are not probably ten men IN this country
who have ever been there. After securing
labOrers an attempt was made to explore
Nightingale Island, which was found rich
with guanO, covered with eggs and
thrOnged with penguins. Efforts to OBJ
tain a dead-and-alIve cargo were futile,
owing to the impOssbility of finding safe
anchorage. The Governor or head man of
Tristan dAcunha said that a valuable
dog had escaped from H. B. NJ. surveying
ship Challenger eleven years ago. 1t was
searched for, found and taken on board
the Moody, but died on the passage to
Martinique. The islands visited are stu
ated in lat. 37.6, long. 1902, are claimed
by the English, and British garrison was
at one time maintained there. United
States vessels never visit the locality. The
Moody was seventeen days north of Cape
Hatteras, with northwest gales which
filled the cabins with water, damaged the
sidelights and carried away fOresail and
fOretOUSail.

EIGHTY sKY-BLUE LEGS.
The Vision on Which the Presiden

The Vision on Which the President
Gazed UnmOved
President Arthur came out OF the front
door Of the White House this afternoon
Just before 8 O'Clock, says a Washington
special of the 10th instant to the New York
World. He was accompanied by Secre-
tary Chandler. A raised platform made
an easy incline to the line of the support
of the outside pillars of the porte c0chere,
where the President and the Secretary of
the Navy took a position to review the
cOlOred hosts celebrating the issuing of
the emancipation proclamation.
The President was in black. his coat a
closely buttOned frOck, a red carnatiOn
the one spot Of color in his sOmbre dress.
and new, wide-brimmed spring silk hat
shaded his dark eyes. No one who noticed
HIM could help commenting upon his i'm
proved appearance. Last spring he was
weary and worn out. Now he appears to
have fully regained his health, and he
looks very much as he did when he first
went to Long Branch after Garfield's
death.
OF the 10000 negroes in the District
the great majority were in the procession
or on thes streets as spectators. The bright
day and warm sun made them happy. In
the crowds wretched poverty Haunted it.
self as gayly as the richest of the cOlOred
aristOcracy. The societies with their
military bands shutfled past the Presi-
dent with such an air of reckless gayety
that he could hardly restrain a smile. As
the cOlOred men reverently uncovered
from time to time the President grace
fully lifted his new hat skywaEd. Secre-
tary Chandler did not bow, but stood
with his hands in his pockets with his
derby cooked over his right ear watching
the passers.
The climax of the procession came
when the chariot of love and beauty
doomed in sight, preceded by blast of
horns and followed bya crowd of stalwart
young fellows who gazed upon the
chariot freighted with so much duskv
beauty. The basis of the chariot was an
express wagon. In each corner of the
wagon was high pole supporting one
corner OF a snOW-White canopy. Inside
Of the wagon seats were built up nearly
ten feet in height in the shape of pyra-
mid. Upon the apex Of this pyramid in
half-reclining position was the Queen
of Beauty, wearing yellow tinsel crown.
Ranged about her were forty maiden
members of the court dressed in short
White muslin dresses and sky-blue stock
ings. At the height occupied by the
court the blue-sky legs Of the court beau
ties became the prominent feature of the
regal display. As the eighty sky-blue
legs moved slowly by the Presidential
vision, the dusky queen from her tower
ing pyramid kissed her hand slowly and
languishingly towards the ruler of the
White House. Without a smile the
President gravely lifted his hat, but the
Secretary of the Navy was not under
such good control. He nearly laughed
outright and it was only with great
difficulty he restrained himself
