A NAUTICAL BULL.
The Most Absurd Episode in the Career of
Admiral Porter.


Even ''grim-visaged war" smiles now and
then at the absurdities OF which he is the
occasion. One evening, while Admiral
Porter's fleet was anchored inside Cape
Fear river ''contraband" padded his
canoe alongside OF the Malvern, the flag
ship, and informed the Admiral that the
enemy would send down that night pow
eriul ram and torpedo-vessel. AS the Ad-
miral had been looking for rams and tor
pedo-boats during three years OF service,
and had never seen one, he thanked his
stars, and gave such orders as he thought
would result in the capture OF his assail-
ants. lie was just going to bed, when
shouts, words OF command, and pistol
shots attracted his attention The river
was alive with boats dashing to the scene
OF conflict.
There he goes!" Head him off,
were shouted by the different crews, accom-
panied by the firing of muskets and pistols.
The vessels above the flagship began
firing howitzers.
THAT is sheer folly!" said the Admiral
to his flag officer, Captain Breese. They
will never capture the thing in this way
Why don't they board and foul her screw
with a net, as 1 ordered them to do. Jump
into the boat, pull up there, and tell them
to board the thing, whatever it is, at all
hazards"
The Captain showed off, and in five min
utes the strange vessel seemed to be COM
ing down on the flagship.
Look out" was shouted from the boat.
"Give it to him!" Then volley of mus
kerry and three cheers followed
"Here he comes! and all the boats after
him!" shouted the lookout. We've got
him! Tie on to him! Double-bank him
with boatsl' were heard from the pursuers.
Take the enemy in tow, and stop your
noisel' shouted the officer in command of
the boats. Captain Breese returned along
side of his flagship.
"Well, sir, we got him!" said he,
"And time they had OF it," answered
the Admiral "Why didn't those fellows
do as l told them-jam his screw with the
nets?"
"He hadn't any screw, sir" replied the
Captain.

at was something worse than a ram,
sir" said the Captain laughing. ut was
the biggest bull | ever saw. He was swim
ming across the channel when he was first
espied. | don't wonder they took him for

at such ratel"

MENTAL LABOR.
The Preparation Required by the Brain
for Its Performance.

The Preparation Required by the Brain
for Its Performance.
There are of course immense differ
ences among men as regards capacity
for performing mental work of any
kind. Previous training. constitution
and temperament are potent factors in
determining the amount which each is
capable of doing. Some men can
stand an enormous amount of mental
strain without any apparent injury;
Others, from what may be called, for
want of better term, weakness of
brain" are incapable of anything re-
curing mental tension. The worst
consequences are noticed in people of
moderate brain-power, who, in the alb
sence Of proper training, attempt the
performance of severe mental labor
Their case is similar to that of those
who suddenly engage in trials of
strength and endurance after an insult
ficient amount of training, and who
either exhaust themselves by overtax-
ing their nervous energies, or induce
disorders OF the heart or lungs, or
strain Of some portion of the muscular
system by the violence of their efforts.
When a man is being prepared for
great muscular exertion he undergoes
course of training in which the sever
ity of the work assigned to him is grad
ually and cautiously increased, and the
same rule should be adopted for those
whose mental powers are about to be
severely taxed. If this condition be

can be obtained, and if the appetite re-
mains at its normal level, the brain
will bear almost any amount of steady
strain in the form of severe mental
labor.--F'ortRightiy RevieW.
