Icebergs at Sea.

Fortunately forthe mariner, ice reveals
itself in, the censest Jog or amidst the
heaviest snow-storm py the change OF
the temperature in its vicinity. A ther-
mometer will fall as much as four de-
gress to windward OF an iceberg, and
two degrees lower yet to leeward. In
deed, experienced shipmasters assert
that the thermometer viii not only in
dicate the approach of ship toward
ice, hut the amount of ice likely to be
met with. An instance Is given of a
captain passing two ieebergs the tenn
perature of the wa er being fortyfou
and that of the all forty-two degrees.
When ten degrees nearer to the Equator
the same man passed thirty-nine ice
hergs, the thermometer showing thirty
five in water and thirty six in air. 1t will
thus be seen that the temperature was
eight or nine degrees lower, although
the ship was between five and six hun
dred miles closer to the Line, and at
point where the mean temperature would
be ten degrees higher. Experienced
scamen will often detect the adjacency
of ice by the faculty of smell. A ship
full OF passengers once narrowly escaped
destruction, thanks to the keen nostrils
of her chief officer. She was off the
Horn, running before a gale of wind.
1t was showing heavily, SO that it was
difficult at moments to catch sight of
the forward part of the vessel. Two of
the best men in the ships company
were stationed on the lookout; the chief
mate was at the brake in the poop, and
the captain stood near the wheel. On
sudden the mate began to sniff, and,
turning rapidly, he called to the captain
that he could smell ice. There was a
pause while the ship continued to storm
along, but the mate, once more shifting,
vehemently, turned eagerly to the cap
tain, and cried again that he was sure
that there was ice in the peighborhood.
He had scarcely said this when loud
and fearful cry of "Ice right aheadp'
resounded from the half obscured fore
castle, and the helm of the ship was
shifted just in time to enable her to go
clear of a gigantic iceberg, which leaped
like newly created island upon the
sight, out of the whirling mist and
snow. In this case it was calculated
that the berg was between two and three
miles distant when the officer of the
watch detected its presence, to which
must be added the circumstance of the
mate being to windwaTd.-Daiiy Iele-

Lucky Mr.. Jlbbits.

The Avador Sentinel says: Allen
Tibbits, of Sutter Creek, Cal, came to
jackson with what he supposed was
$500, but found himself 500 short.
Going back home he informed his wife
that she had given him but 5000, when
she explained that she had given him
5000 in gold and 500 bill, which she
had wrapped up in a small peanut bag.
Mr.. Tibbits recollected that he pulled
out his purse at Jackson Gate, and was
waited on by Mr.. Chichizola's daugh-
ters Back there he posted, and was
informed that such piece of paper had
been noticed, but the girls could find
no trace of it, remarking, however, that
they had offered to put up twenty five
cents worth of tobacco in it, but the
party purchasing said it did not matter,
and the little bag was left on the coun-
ter. Chezra Chichizola said he had
swept everything on the floor out into
the road, and sure enough a chicken
was found scratching that particular
bag with the 500 note in it across the
road.

tween the two Government aud grown
out of the love affairs of Lieut.. Sale, the
son of Portuguese Count, who held a
commission III the army of the Sultan of
Zanzibar.
This festive young man met the come.
ly daughter of well-to-do Arab mer-
chant and fell violently in love with
her. He cared not a cent for all the
bellies Of Portugal, but he couldn't
live without this dusky beauty of Zan-
ziban She declined to marry him be-
cause he was Roman Catholic. That
stumbling block was easily. removed.
Lieut.. Sale abjured Catholicism, sud-
denly blossemed cut as devout follow
er of Mohammed, an soon after the
love-smitten convert and the Arab belle
were married.
The honeymoon did not last very
long. Lieut.. Sale soon grew tired of
wife who couldn't read or write, and
had seen nothing of the world outside
Zanzibar. He suddenly became recon
verted to the Roman Catholic faith and
deserted his bride. He then decided
that the climate of Zanzibar was very
unhealthy, and applied to the Sultan
for long leave of absence. The doc
tor of the Sultan felt the young mans
pulse and pronounced him perfectly
well. The Sultan thereupon told the
Lieutenant that he was fraud and
base deceiver, and clapped him into Jail
without any ceremony.
The Sultan, it happened, had agreed
some time before that the Portuguese
Consul General should have the right to
fix the punishment of Portuguese often
ders. AS the Consul General had not
been consulted in this case, he made
things unpleasant for his Highness.
Said Bargash, and finally hauled down
his flag, q proceeding that the Sultan
could not contemplate with Indifference
when Portugal was looking enviously
at bit of his African territory, and was
not unwilling to pick chance to quar-
rel. So Said Bargash fastened to apollo
gize, Lieut.. Sale marched out of jail
with an indemnity IN his pocket, and
the flag floated again from the Portu-
guese Consulate.

How Italians Cure the Earache.

A remedy, one unequaled indeed for
earache is that in use among the sailors
aud bathers at Niareggio and Leghorn,
and indeed all along the coast of that
part of Italy. A piece of linen is spread
with melted bees waX-the purer the
better-and then rolled tightly into
cornucopia shape, the small end of which
is introduced into the patients ear as he
lies down. The cornucopia should not
be less thau three, four or even five
inches long. Flannel cloths are then
laid over the head and face, the cornu-
copia is set alight, and burns slowly as
long as the patient can bear it, until
burned quite near the face, when It IS
removed from the ear. This proceeding
oives almost instant relief, and if the
pain happens to have been capsed by the
presence of any Eforeign substance ~ the
ear it will come away with the cornu-
copia. a.-LORdOB Sacasty.

All AdUIterated.

A Madrid paper narrates series OF
fatalities to which three members out of
a family of four fell victims in that city,
and the story is one that seems as if it
might have happened in New York.
The family were flies, brother and
three sisters. They were in search OF
food. The eldest sister alighted upon a
sausage and ate heartily. The second
satisfied her hunger on some flour. The
third drank with avidity from pitcher
of milk. Then they essayed to fly, but
in few moments all three fell dead
The sausage had been given its fine red
color by means of poisonous aniline
dye. The flour contained fatal per-
centage of plaster of paris The milk
had in it SO much chalk that no well
regulated fly could drink it and live.
The unhappy brother, seeing himself
surrounded by the corpses of his dear
sisters, in his grief determined upon
suicide. He launched himself upon a
gray sheet of paper bearing the inscrip-
ton, ely paper-sure to KILL" and
sucked its deadly poison greedily; but
IN vain. The more he took of it the
better he felt. He was doomed to live.
Fly paper" was also falsified.
