Whales in American Waters,

Whales are constantly becoming more
and more common in the seas which are
near to the principal commercial coun-
tries and are almost daily traversed by
ships. The masters of twenty one yes
sells have reported to the photographic
department of the United Stases navy
that in the month Of June just closed,
great numbers of whales were encounter
ed in the Atiapti mostly near the Aneri-
can coasts. They were of various sorts,
such as the Greenland Or right whale,
finbacks, humpbacks and sperm whales,
which last mostly frequent the tropic
seas. One shipmaster stated that in
thirtyfour years at sea he had never
seen such enormous schools of these ami
mails.
It has not been so many years snIce
the whale was a rare creature in Ameri-
can waters. He had been hunted for his
oil until he had fed TO the uttermost
regions OF the ocean. The right whale
bad retired &c the icy recesses of the
Polar seas, while the sperm whale was
only to be found in the unfrequented
regions Of the south Pacific ocean. Some
of the most thrilling stories of adventure
forty years ago were based on the ex-
periences of the daring whale hunters.
But rbout the time of the breaking out

Rupert House at Chiswick, Near London.

Some four years ago happened 10 pass
this way, and pause near the field, just be-
yond the Rupert House, where the Prince
and his little army camped over night on
his retreat before Hampden and his
Roundheads-a scene which the perspec-
tive of time has made into an allegoricaI
tableau of Aristrocracy retreating before
YeOmanry. Ut is retreat that steadily
goes on still.) At that time-four years
ago-I found it pleasant to see large and
beautiful gardens, with stately poplars
and every variety OF fruit tree, glorify-
ing the acres once stepped with the
bluest blood of EnglaGd. Eight hun
dred Cavaliers were here found dead
when the RoGndheads came in the early
morning, glowing with victory, to pitch
their tents where the Cavaliers had Just
folded theirs. I now turned in to take
another look at the place. I paused to
look at the Rupert House-sUreIy very
ivil-seeming home for the barbaric
Prince whose name was twisted into
Prince Robber! Two lions couch above
the projecting doorway; two child figures
stand on the ground beneath-which may
be emblems of that ferocity for which
the Prince was famed beyond all warriors
of his time, until he fell in love with the
pretty actress under whose sway he be-
came gentle as child.
The name of this actress was Margare
Hughes. She was the first actress in Lon
don, female parts before her time hav~
ing been performed by boys or smooth
faced men. Her chief role was Des-
demona. In the Grammont Memoirs it
is sai6: "He Prince Rupert was brave
and courageous even to rashness; his
genins was fertile in mathematical ex-
perimentS, and he possessed some
knowledge of chemistry: he was polite
even to excess unseasop ably, but haus hty
and even brutal when he ought TO nave
been gentle and courteous; he was tall, and
his manners were ungracioUs; he had
dry, hard-favored Yisage, and stern look
even when he wishes to please, but when
be was out of humor he was the true
picture OF reproof. The Queen had sent
for the play ers, either that there might
be no lnterrniseiop in the diversions of
the palace, or perhaps to retort upon Miss
Stewart, by the presence of Nell Gwyn,
part of the uneasiness she felt from hers.
Prince Rupert found charms in the per-
son of another player called Hughes, who
brought down and greatly su5dued mis-
natural tierceness. From this time edieu
alembics, crdcibles, furnaces, and all the
black furniture of the FORCES; complete
farewell to all tbematical instruments
and chemical speculations; sweet powder
and essences were now the only in
gradients that occupied any share of his
attention. The impertinent gypsy chose
to be attacked in form; and proudly re-
fusiug money, that in the end she might
sell her favors at a dearer rate. she caused
the poor Prince to act a part unnatural
that he no longer appeared like the same
person" The Prince purchased Branden
burg House, in Hammeismith, for Mar
garet, at cost of e25, 1000, and she gilt
tered there for time. A grave in Acton
church-yard now undiscoverabie, ended
her influence upon the affairs of Eng
land.

No Drug to Cure Insomnia.

have recently met with several cases
of insomnia due to oVer-taxation of the
American nervous system, and have been
requested to prescribe some drug that
should be effective to produce sleep and
be at the same time harmless.
No such drug exists!
There is not one medicine capable of
quieting to sleep voluntary life that has
been working ten hours at high pressure,
except it be moro or less poisonous. Con-
sum ption of choral, bromine in some
form, OR opium, has increased in this
country to an incredible extent, is still
growing, and large number of Amer
leans go to bed every night more or less
under the influence of poison. Sleep thus
obtained is not restful nor restorative,
and nature sternly exaets her penalties
for violated Law, more severe in these
cases than in most others.
Digestion suffers frst-one is rarely
hungry for breakfast, and loss of mora
Ing appetite is a certain sign OF i'll health.
Increasing nervousness follows until days
become burdens and poisoned nights the
only comfortable parts Of life.-Dr. Will

AFTER THE BATTLE.
V. STEWART MosBY.

1t was after the din of the battle
Had ceased in the silence and gloom,
When hushed was the musketrys rattle,
And quiet the cannons deep boom.
The smoke of the conflict had lifted,
And drifted away from the sun,
While the soft crimson light, slowly fading from
sight,
Flashed back from each motionless gun.
The tremulous notes Of the bugle,
Rang out on the tremulous air,
And the echoes caught back from the mountains
Faint whispers, like breathings of prayer.
The arrows of sunlight that slanted.
Through the trees touched a brow white as
snow.
On the bloody sod lying mid the dead and the
dying.
And it flushed in the fast parting glow.
The dark crimson tide slowly ebbing,
Stained red the light jacket of gray;
But another in blue sadly knelt by his side
And watched the life passing away.
Said the jacket in gray: I've brother
Joe Turner he lives up in Maine
Give him these, and say my last message
Was forgiveness Here a low moan OF pain
Checked his voice. Then: You'll do me this
favor,
For you shot me;'' and his whispers sank low;
Said the Jacket in blue: Brother Charley,
There no need. I'm your brother, I'm JOe.''
