Swallowed bx a Shark.

A cook on the steamship Chala fell
off the vessel as it was rounding out of
the harbor of Bahia, near Panama.
Every effort was made to rescue the
poor fellow, but suddenly the place be-
came alive with sharks, and it at once
became apparent the unfortunate man
was doomed. Once he threw himself
almost completely out Of the water in
an effort to escape the jaws of one of
the monsters, but Il few seconds after
ward he was evidently seized and
dragged under, as nothing more
was seen of him. Other sharks, APP
parently disappointed in their hopes Of
prey, were then observed rushing
through the water in all directions, and
even appeared to mediate an attack
o n the boat, which, after an Intellectual
search, pulled back to the ship. The
sharks were apparently %rayenous, and
the rapidity with which they swarmei
around the unfortunate man amazed
all who witnessed this striking proof of
the righteousness of the denizens of the
deep.

The Carboniferous jungle.

II we could suddenly transplant our
selves from the gardens and groves of
the nineteenth century into the midst of
q carboniferous Jungle on the delta of
some forgotten Amazon or som prime
Nile, we should find ourselves sur
rounded by strange and somewhat mon
otonous scenery, very different from
that OF the varied aud beautiful world in
which we ourselves now live. The
huge foliage of gigantic tree-ferns and
titanic club-mosses would wave over
our heads, while a green carpet of pref
ty trailing creepers would spread lux
urlantly over the damp soil beneath our
feet. Great swampy fats would
atretch around rs OH every
side; and instead of the
rocky or undnlating hills of our familiar
Europe, we should probably see the in
terror country composed only of low
bridges, unified as yet by the slow I'M.
heaval OF ages into the.Alps OF Pvrenees
OF the modern continent. But the most
striking popularity Of the scene would
be the wearisome uniformity
OF It's prevailing colors. Earth beneath
and primitive trees overhead would all
alike present a single field of unbroken
and unvarylng green No scarlet flow
eI, golden fruit, or gay butterfly would
give a CLEAN OF brighter and warmer
color1ng to the continuous verdure Of
that more than tropical forest. Green
and green, and green, again; wbereye,
the eye fell it would rest alike upon one
monotonous and mrelieved mass Of
harsh and angular verdure.- Grant Al

French and English Detectives.

In England we have a curious but
very erroneous iaea that if a policeman
wears a suit of plain clothes instead OF
his regular uniform he is fully able to
find out all about any crime that has
ever been committed. A greater MIS-
take was never made. Not only to the
dangerous classes, but to almost every
Londoner who is anything of an observe
Ell regarding his %fellow-men, plain
clothes" officers, as our detectives are
called, are actually as well known as II
they wore the helmet, blue tunic, and
black leather waist-belt of the reg
ular policeman. 1t is quite other
wise in France. A French detective
has nothing whatever to do with
serving summonses or warrants.
Henever arrests a criminal, but he points
cut to the regular police where GRIMM
ais are to be found. 1t is only on very
rare occasions that he even appears as
witness against a prisoner, and when
he does so he assumes for the future a
general appearance quite unlike what
he has hitherto borne. A French de-
t%ective who cannot disguise himself in
such a manner that lii. oldestgsiend
would not be able to recognize. IS
not deemed worth his salary. HeeSSSses
the greatest professional pride in Hlis
art. In a word, the French detectives
are the spies sent by the army of law
and order to find out all about the en-
envy that is constantly waging war
against life and property. In England
we have no similar set of men, and
what are the consequences? Why, that
unless q murderer, burglar, or other
offender is either taken red-handed, or
leaves behind him some very plain marks
as to who he is or where he is to be
found, crime with us is, as rule, unde-
tected. Sooner or later. notwithstand-
ing our national preiudices against all
that is secret and underhand, we must
adopt a system for the detection of crime
on the plan that is found to work so
we'll in France, and the sooner we do so
the better, unless we want to make Eng
land in general, and London in particu-
lar, nor than even it is now the happy
hunting-ground of all the scoundrels IN
Europe. All Frenchmen who have
visited our country say that or ordin-
airy police is the very best thing in the
world; that the manner in which they
preserve order in the streets is above
praise and they are right. Nor can
a word be said against the character,
the integrity, or the intentions also
OF our detectives. But the system on
which they are trained Is essentially
bad. They are wrong men in the
wrong place-the square pegs in the
round holes.-Chamber's Journal.
