Interesting ee,lcs from the ROYAL sara,

On October 10, 1776, the waters of Lake
Champlain floated fleets of American and
British schooner gunboats. The American
fleet, rs well as all the land forces. were in
command of Benedict Arnold, and on the
particular date mentioned above he was on
board of the gun schooner Royal Savage.
During the day the schooner was attacked
by a number of British vessels, and, being
overpowered, it was decided to scuttle her.
This was done off Valcour Island, and
Arnold and his men escaped to the main
land. From that day until the 10th of
October last no attempt had been made to
exactly locate the spot where the wooden
ribs of the Yankee schooner lay. On Octo-
Der 10th, ofthis year, Captain w. P. Duncan,
who has just raised the steamer Pavonia, ar
rived in Burlington with gang of men from
trip to another lake in the vicinity, where
they had been engaged in dock building. The
story of the Royal Savage was told the Cap
tain, and he decided to investigate. Secur-
ing boat and guide, he loaded his equip
ments and proceeded to the spot pointed
out by the guide. There was thirty five
feet of water over the vessel, if any vessel
could be found just there. and soon Captain
Duncan and his assistant were over the
side and on the bottom. Here he found
the ribs, planking. parts of ancient gun
carriages, and great quantity of the equip
ment of war vessel of the olden days
He succeeded in securing and brought to
the surface cannon balls of all shapes and
sizes, part of gun-carriage, splendidly
preserved, several pieces of the schooner's
ribs, pewter spoons and plates, in fair con-
dition, and many other valuable and in
teresting relics of the Royal Savage. Mr.,
Duncan brought them to Boston. and has
sent portion of them to the War Depart.
ment at Washington.

THE CoNTAGIoN OF WHooPING COUCH
The disease is contagious one-that we
all know. Its contagious material resides
undoubtedly in the breath of the one af-
fected with it: it is taken up probably by
the air during its passage over the secre-
tons from the throat and nose. The air
probably retains it for long time, and
these secretions usually, at the hight of the
disease, being excessive, are easily COM
municated from one child to another in
play, by kissing, ETC., or they dry and are
finely pulverized and are scattered through
out badly ventilated room. During the
whole period of excessive secretion, from
the first week till the cough nearly disap-
pears, the child with whooping cough is
capable of giving the disease to others with
whom it comes in contact. Is it not almost
criminal then, in parents and nurses to
take these children into open squares and
parks, places of amusement where healthy
children congregate? And yet this is done
daily.-Dr. John Heating in BabyhOod.

SPRINGS, WELLS AND RIvERs-Each one
of these sources has its accompanying dan
gers. Only in sparsely settled countries
can springs and wells be depended upon
for potable water. People awakening TO
the dangers of well water seek for some
general supply after the manner of city
water works. and it SO happens that this
often means flying from one danger into
Sanitary Era that all public water supplies
should be purified at their source. Means
have been perfected by which thousands
[millions] of gallons of water can be filtered
daily before being sent on its way through
the pipes to the consumers. 1t is no small
advantage of this method, that the hydrants
will not need frequent cleansing, to the
great waste of water.-The Health Monthly.

THE LAND OF OLIvEs.-No doubt can be
entertained that this empire of California
will one day raise olives for the world. The
warfares of the Mediterranean coasts make
the olive trade experimental and spas
modic. We do not raise olives that are so
rich as those of Spain or the south of
France; yet they are nearly so, consider
ing the years of the trees 1t takes num-
Der of years for the raising of olive trees ;
but when they come into bearing, the yield
is great in coin. The people who buy the
fruit take it from the tree; buy it by the
ton. and there is no trouble to the raneher.
If we are not mistaken. the years are not
far distant when California will be the
largest producer of olives of any country in
the world. In the other countries that pro-
duce olives everything is left to nature.
Here We have people of intelligence, who
study the mere5t buds of nature, and it is
impossible that they should not surpass the
peasentry of Europe in the production of
the olive. In this "plum," as Alderman
McSfullen, of Philadelphia, once called it.
is great wealth for California. No other
State of the Union can raise it.-Odkiar'd

PERNICIoUs DOCTRINE.

Says the New Orleans States: "The
Baltimore reporter who, despite the order
of Court, refused to divulge the name of
man who had given him some informa-
ton in confidence, has commanded the
sympathy and respect of the people of
that city" Possibly; but neither the
Baltimore nor any other newspaper man
should be justified in defiance of the law
of the land that assures him in all the
rights and privileges he enjoys. The con-
fidential relation between reporter and
news informant in defeat of legal pro-
ceedir !, is not one recognized by
the law. Both parties having this lznowl-
edge, no wrong is done to either when pub
lie justice demands disclosure. Any other
rule than this gives to the press free
license to libel, to assail character, vilify
men and women, and not only to impede
the current of justice, but absolutely direct
the course it shall take If newspaper
alleges a crime to have been committed.
and stands ready to furnish to the officers
of the law the necessary proofs to establish
the truth of the charge, it should not be
required to disclose its informant, where
such disclosure will violate the confidence
under which the information was had. for
to do sowould be to prevent such exposures
being made. If the paper is not prepared
to do this, it must take the consequences.
In all other cases where it is clear
that disclosure is in the interests
of good government, the press should
conserve the methods of justice BY
refusing to be party TO any Sc
crecy the law of the land commands
shall be unlocked. This same doctrine of
the press confidential relation as op-
posed to the DEGREES of the Courts of the
land, has been paraded in San Francisco,
and, if we remember Alright, the Courts
have bent before 1.-THE more shame to
