Eyes, it's porpoisc. Cape Codders call
them putting pigs and l suppose nothing
short of phocana communis would satisfy

"Are porpoises good for anything9"
"Good for anythinga Why, bless you
yes. Their meat is splendid eating, and
makes just as good mincemeat as any bit
of beef you ever saw. Then their blub-
Der dried out makes a fine penetrating
oil, which is great for rheumatism. Take
some of the oil and put it on your hand
and it'll soak right in to the bones"

"Well, they root around for their grub,

Dying Fires.

The log on which the hearth fire long has fed
Is nigh consumed, and now the flame burns
low
With one faint blaze Of feeble, Pickering red |
That ghostly figures on the wall doth
throw
But now the wind comes breathing soft along, !
1t flames again and lights the gloom about,
Then lower sinks, as quick the wind is gone,
Then Pickering fades and with puff goes
out.
Loves fire for long has fed upon the heart,
And nigh consumed il through feeble
flame,
From out the ashes now and then doth start,
Casting wierd shadows on the troubled
brain.
But mem'ry's wind comes breathing softly
by,
1t glows again and for time Is bright
Then the thought passes and lips sadly sigh,
As it dies out and leaves behind but night

Took Him For a Bunco Steerer.

George W. Cable, the novelist, came to
town the other day, as he often does
from his New England home, says New
York letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
He wished to meet Mr.. Rushton, the Tex
as cattle rancher, and went to Broad
way hotel where the man was guest.
Cable had never seen Rushton. "He is
about the corridor somewhere, said the
clerk; and so Cable looked about for
somewhat questionable and rustic figure,
such as he guessed the stranger might be.
"Ah," he said affably to the first indi-
vidual of that sort who came along, care
you Mr.. Rushtonl"
The accosted man gazed impudently
into the enquirer's face and then shortly
answered "No." Cable is a polite little
fellow, and he was hurt by the lack OF
that quality in the other; but he passed
quietly along until he encountered sec
ond apparent prairie denizen.
'This is Mr. Rushton2" he said affably.
"No, SIR" and the tone as positively
insulting, "this is not Mr. Rushton."
Cable went to big mirrior and looked
at himself to see if any thing in his per
sonal appearance had become offensive.
The reflection was that of an unobtrusive
man clothed soberly, and with nothing in
his aspect to rouse antipathy He saunt.

Cable was dumbfounded, and then
amused, for he had merely learned fact
that any curious experimenter can sub
stantiate on trial-that the feats of the
bunko swindlers have become SO widely
known that the simple question whether

So LONDONDERRY VT. THU URsDAY, JANUARY IA, 1885,
| Navigating Under Water.

Submarine navigation seems to be GO
ing alead of late. Goubet of Paris, who
four Years ago constructed submarine
boat with such success as to receive an
orler from the Russian Government for
thee hundred sets of his machinery, has
nov improved his device. In the Russian
bd,ts the locomotion was effected by a
crw of four men, working treadles; now
electricity is the moter, the speed obtain
cd being five knots The crew can ac-
codingly be reduced to an officer and
on man, who enter the craft at the top
by dome-shaped hatch, secured with
hinges and bolts, and fitting into rub
he lined recess. In reservoir is sup
pl of compressed air said to be sufficient
loIlast the two men for ten hours, while
tht.cmbonic acid they give off is absorbed
by catstic potash distributed through the
boat. In this, as in all submarine craft,
the object is not pleasure, for little of
that i, to be had, but warfare. At one
end # the boat is fastened torpedo,
charged with 11O pounds of dynamite,
arranged so as to be operated from with
in.
A description of this boat, given in
recent number of Engineering, shows
that there are seven glazed openings in
the hui, with glass half an inch thick,
protected by external grating and inter
nal shutters. The two men sit back to
back OF the compressed air reservoirs.
The craft seems to be full of machinery,
except n the space occupied by the men,
and their heads go up into the dome.
But the boat can thus be made small and
compact so as to be rowed with oars if
the dyramo fails. There is pump for
expellins water from the reservoirs,
when the boat has to rise, and these res
ervoirs, which effect the immersion of
the boat, are divided into several COM
paTtments to prevent the water IN them
from surging forth and back. There is
on air pump for extracting the vitiatcd
air, and double-acting pump to secure
the stability of the vessel. As safety
appliance heavy weight is attached to
the bottom of the boat, which may be re-
leased and dropped off in case of an acci.
dent requiring a rapid ascent. An explo-
sive signal for help can also be sent tc
the surface.
When the two men enter the boat they
turn on the compressed air, which is
passed through the water reservoirs so as
to become humid, and start the electrical
/ metor. The officer steers the boat under
the ship to be attacked; and when the
right position is gained he casts off tht
torpedo, which floats UP and attaches it
self to the vessel by contrivances provid.
ed for the purpose. The boat then rap
idly withdraws, and at a safe distance
explodes the torpedo by electricity
This, at least, is the theory of Mr.. Goubet
--Ne,o York Sun.

Raising Mules.

Col. Joe Marley, of Ripley, Tenn, who
is as well known for his elevated charac-
ter as for his genial hospitality, has of
late years turned part of his attention
to mule raising. His method is as sim
pie and economical as it is effective. He
owns a large body of land situated near
the Mississippi river in Lauderdale coun-
ty, covered with luxuriant growth of
cane. In the midst of this cane he fells
pose, bores number of large auger holes
in the logs, and fills the holes with salt.
Under the lead of an intelligent gray
mare, whose habits have been fixed and
whose temper has been mellowed by the
flight of years, he turns his mules into
this magnificent cane pasture, from
weanlings up, where they remain until
ready for market. The lick logs are
their homes, the trees their only shelter.
Their feed is costless. The old mare
gives them motherly care and direction
restraining them from running away in
search of wildcats, y aud inviting them
to regular festivals at the lick-logs
The mules thus brought up are well grown
strong and hardy, with compact muscles,
and arc equal, if not superior to those
raised within fence bounds, besides being
unacquainted with many of the more con-
spicuous vices contracted by the latter
during their playful youth. -NashoilS

DESTROYING the Effect.

l remember hearing Curfew Shall

lady of considerable elocutionary talent.
She was making very favorable impress
sion, and as she neared the end she pre-
pared to wind up with flourish on the
final line
Thy lover lives; curfew shall not
ring tonight"
But the cursed ALTERATION 'queered''
her, and, as might have been expected,
she said, in voice that quivered with
emotion:
''Thy liver lives; curfew shall not ring

Crime Waves.

Sometimes great wave of crime passes
over the land This was the case about
the year 1850, when there was a general
epidemic of burglaries. For some time
the Annual Register devoted special
paragraph in its index to burglaries, an
unpleasant feature which has now happily
disappeared. 1t began with burglary
and murder at Frimley, where one Mr..
Hollest, an elderly clergyman, was cruel
ly killed. He was awakened in the night
and saw two figures, with their faces COW
cred with Grape, standing at the bottom
of the bed. He at first thought it was
his two sons indulging in practical joke,
and he rebuked them for their untimely
and unreasonable conduct. He was soon
undeceived, and while he was Offering a
gallant resistance he was wounded by one
of the burglars. 1t is remarkable that in
the excitement Of the time, and for some
hours afterward, he did not even feel the
wound. But when the surgeon came to
examine it he perceived that it soon must
prove fatal. Two men were executed for
the crime. One man, who was accepted
as approver, was man who had been
the loudest in rroclaming his innocence
before the magistrates and the most skill
full in cross-examining the witnesses.
The effect of his evidence was to impli-
cate other men, including one who had
been acquitted of the Frimley murder, in
other burglaries, and broke up gang
which had been the terror of Surrey and
Sussex. All the Year Round.

Millions are talked about glibly in
these times without clear Misunderstanding
of the enormous sum represented by the
$50, 900, 900 left by Cornelius Vanderbilt,
the elder, OF the 5000, 600, 600 left by
William II. Vanderbilt to his sons. A
Chicago preacher helps one to realize the
magnitude of such fortunes by the figur-
ing out that if Cornelius Vanderbilt had
been born at the beginning of the Chris
tian era and had saved $25, 600 year
ever since, he would not yet have made
up his fortune of $50, 900, 900; and that,
if William II. Vanderbilt had been a
contemporary of Adam and had saved at
the same rate of s25, 900 per annum, he
would still have been far short of his
5000, 900, 600 at the time of his death,
and would still have had to toll and save
for 2115 years in the future before amass.
ing his fortune of $500, 900, 900. That
calculation is based ON the usual chron-
ology Without such examples to give
one measure, it is difficult to form q
proper conception of such enormous
sums.
