In the Jaws of a Whale,

George Leonard, an acting master
in the United States navy during the
civil war, and stationed on the gun
boat Katahdin, West Gulf blockading
squadron, in 1868, told a story of he
roism and exhibited marks on his body
that corroborated his words, says a let
ter in the Philadelphia Press. The
year 1850 found Leonard as one of the
crew of the ship Enterprise, a whaler,
in the North Pacific. One day he was
stationed in the bow of a whale-boat a
long distance from the ship with a
brave crew, who had sighted a whale
and made for the monster with all pos
sible dispatch. When within proper
distance Leonard threw the harpoon,
striking the fish hard and deep. In
some manner the line, as it was run
ming out, caught the body of one of
the men in such a way as to throw
him overheard. The man suddenly
sank, whereupon Leonard transferred
his line to boatmate and sprang into
the ocean in aid of the drowning
sailor.
The whale, now maddened by his
fast-fowing blood, made rush for

relate, Leonard's friend had managed
to regain the boat, while he himself
was caught by the whale between its
jaws, his position being inside the
monsters mouth, with nothing pro-
truding but one of his arms. In this
manner the man was in reality within
the jaws of death itself. The whale
instantly plunged down into the deep.
and in the words of Leonard himself,
"the fish seemed to be going down,
down into eternity itself"
The imprisoned man, after all of
this, had not lost his presence of mind.
He mustered his entire bodily strength
and he was powerful man-actual-
ly bracing himself in such a position
as to compel the fish to spread its
jaws; at the same time, with his arm
that was free, he grabbed the sheath
knife out of its socket, cutting right
and left. No sooner was there suf-
ticent opening made than Leona ard
forced his body outside.

He was saved. The marks of the

teeth were plainly visible on Leonard
arms, and he was always pointed out

Bright and The Clergyman.

The following incident is related on
the authority of Mr.. w. L. Bright, NJ.
P; "Mr. Bright went into an agri-
cultural district one day, and he had
to walk from the station a long way
into the village. On the way clergy
man, who was driving in dog-cart,
came up to him, and the two men
passed the time of day. The clergy
man offered to drive Mr.. Bright into
the village, and Mr.. Bright accepted
the offer. The clergyman was Tory,
and he had been reading a speech Mr.,
Bright had made the previous night,
and, turning to Mr. Bright, he said:
"Have you seen the papers to-day,
STRIP Yes said Mr.. Bright. What's
in themP why, that rascal John
Bright has been making another
speech 'And what was it aboutP'
asked Mr.. Bright. Why, so-and-so
and so-and-so,' and he went on to re-
late the incidents of the speech. Then
they discussed the topic, and Mr..
Bright said: We'll, it is just possible
that Mr.. Bright may have been right,
and he was only expressing his honest
convictions. There may be something

next morning, and Mr.. Bright prom
ised to go. And he kept his word, as
he always did. The clergyman took
for his theme Mr.. Bright's speech, and
at the conclusion Mr.. Bright thanked
him for his very able sermon. AS he
was going home to dinner a friend of
the clergyman met him and said: You

An Immigrant Picture.

There is something pathetic about
the shyness and forlorn appearance of
a newly arrived immigrant. 1t is true
enough that his bashfulness wears off
rapidly and that he soon becomes ex-
ceedingly self-assertive and indepen-
dent, but on the day that he arrives at
Castle Garden he is so weak and tired
that he hardly dares to ask question
of strangers. A family of Norwegians
were landed from steamer the other
day, who were, perhaps, rather more
timd than the average immigrants.
They were an odd-looking set. The
father and mother, both stout and red
face, dressed in rough, heavy gar
ments, and five children. The children
ranged from a little girl about five
years old to a numbering, large-iimbed
boy of eighteen. The child was so
terribly overcome by the strangeness
of her surroundings that she held her
dirty little face pressed closely against
her mothers gown whenever anyone
looked at her. Of the three other chill
dren, one was a tall, awkward girl,
who seemed to have lost her power of
speech, and the other two were chub-
by-faced bows, fat and healthy-looking,
but too diffident to look stranger in
the face. The whole family started
uptown along Broadway. Each one
of them. except the youngest, meas
ured the height of every building with
his eye, and the whole group seemed
amazed and stunned by the sights
around them. The writer happened
to walk behind them as far as City
Hall Park Here he lost sight of
them. An hour or two afterward,
however, he saw the same group at
Fourteenth street and Broadway. They
had made theirway up the street in a
half dream, humping into people and
hurrying over crossings. Where they
were going it would have been difficult
to tell, for they asked no questions.
The crowd was breaking around them,
hurrying and pushing and scattering
away. but they were fixed, the child's
face still pressed against her mothers
gown. The new world to them must
have seemed at that moment an I'M
inviting, cherries place.-New York
Tribune.

A Child's Love of Nature.

There are many pieces of sheer good
fortune for children of luck in this
world: it is well to have been born
rich or handsome, or to have the talents
which command the prizes of life. But
it is perhaps no less happy and supreme
a gift to have been born a child of the
universe; to have known in early child
hood brooks, mountains, and the sea; to
have felt the companionship of the sky,
and in listening to its thunder to have
heard deep calling unto deep. There
is often an incommunicable and half
unconscious sense of these things in
the heart of a child, wholly apart from
any training or habit of observation.
1t is a seed which any soil will quicken;
the commonest landscape will be food
for it as fine as the Alps. In fact,
there is sometimes with the child as
with the artist a sort of Instructive
selection of the humber phase. Among
the memories of journey through
Switzerland in my childhood, that of a
woodland bank at Rosenlani, covered
with moss and with tiny pink flowers,
remains to me as having afforded at
least as keen a pleasure as the glacier
itself, and the image of Mont Blanc
had no power to efface the delights OF
the spring lot" The power upon us
of scene or thought lies partly in the
extent of our intimacy with it.

The Crown of Thorns.

I know the masters of painting from
Guido in his wonderful ''Ecce Homo
down to the present time have de-
picted the crown that rested upon the
head of our cruciiied Savior as a twisted
branch of bare thorns, aud that is, so
far as | know, universally accepted as
the true crown.
Some years ago an incident that oc-
Cured in the Holy Land caused me to
think that this popular belief may be
mistake. A party of us who were
iourneying toward Jerusalem at this
season of the year, which is identical
with the passion and death of the mas
ter, had stopped to rest and lunch just
before entering the hill country, some
miles beyond Ramleh, when a lady OF
the party who was gathering the
beautiful flowers that covered the land
scape on all sides wreathed an ex-
quisite spray, and holding it up ex-
claimed: THE crown of thorns!'
Our party were delighted with the
wreath and upon examining it we
found that long sharp thorns were con-
cealed by the lovely pink flowers. We
were convinced that this was the true
crown. and as we advanced toward
Jerusalem we saw that the whole
country, even to the walls of the city,
was covered with this towering thorn.
The plant and flower are very
similar to what we commonly call the
towering almond, with the addition of
thorn. The bloom is very thick, so
that by merely entwining branch a
wreath is made, while the long, sharp
thorns set out at right angles about an
inch apart make it a very painful
crown to wear upon the human brow.
When we remember that the soldiers
who dressed our SAVIOUR with the pur-
pie robe and crown did it as a mock
! cry, it is reasonable to believe that
they chose this plant, which was so
accessible and would make beautiful
appearance, while at the same time
wounding his holy brow.
! Many who have visited Palestine at
! this season of the year have doubtless
had this suggested to them, yet l have

A True Story of President Lincoln.

A telegram was received by Gen.
Scott announcing the victory OF the
Union army under Little Mac and Rosy
at Rich Mountain, West Va, July II.
1861.
AS Military Secretary Ihad previous
", under the commands of Gen. Scott,
disturbed the President five times that
night. When | knocked for the sixth
time at the door of the Presidents bed
chamber he appeared, exhibiting some
little vexation, in a red flannel shirt,
which, out of modesty, he was holding
down in front. He said: Colonel do
you ever sleepP" The reply was: Mr..
..Mr. President. | was about to ask you
the same question" He said, 81 have
not slept much since this Civil War
began" The reioinder was, Indeed
MI. President. regret to have to dis
turb you so often q had to do it several
times almost every night, but you

is now asleep, and / hated to disturb
her. but she had got my dressing gown

to come out in my red shirt. Either

grown too short, l know not which"
But | said, ''Mr. President, the tele-
gram | hold in my hand will give you
the greatest pleasure; it is the an
nouncement of the first victory of the
Union army" But, Colonel, what am
to do?"

manage that. If you will a ow me for
once in my life to turn my back on the
President of the United States, you can

asked, lis there anything j. corrobo-

rhythm in his voice, a ripple of merri.
ment and satisfaction; Colonel, if
you will come to me every night and
every hour of every night with just
such kilograms as that | will come out
| not only in my red shirt but without
any shirt at all. Tell Gen. Scott so.'
He handed me back the telegram over
my shoulder, to be duly placed on file,
| and babe me goodnight. The door
closed, and so closes one of the many
characteristic incidents in the life OF

Scorpions Commit Suicide.

Lately NJ. Serge Noiroff of Constan-
tinople gave an instance of the sort in
question. He caught half dozen of
these creatures, he says, and deliber-
ately put the question to the test. Ar
ranging on the floor a circle of glow
ing charcoal. having no break in it,
a scorpion was placed in the center.
Although the circle was large enough
to prevent the scorpion being injured
or even accommodated by the heat if
it remained in the middle. the animal,
finding itself surrounded by fire, be-
gan to look about for the means of
escape. At first its movements were
slow, but soon its speed increased, and
finally it raced in frantic fashion
around the inner circumference of the
charcoal. After racing for some time
in this manner, it retired to the centre
of the ring and deliberately plunging
its sting into its back put an end to
its life in a few seconds, after a few
convuisive movements. The remain
ing five were tried successfully in the
same way, and each with like result.

prescription, and said his fee was $25,
as the case was precarious. They were
staggered, but paid the fee, and after
they got out laughed all the way to
the apothecary's. The latter took the
prescription and read in amazement:
''One bushel of oats, four quarts of
water. stir well, and give three times
a day-and turn the animal out to
grass?" Then the jokers stopped
laughing.
A dispatch from Pueblo, Col, to the
New York World says the discovery of
a town of cliff jewellers has just been
made on Santa Clara Greek, ten miles
from Espanola, near the north line of
New Mexico. A regularly walled vii
lage or house was discovered in the
form of an exact circle 500 yards in
circumference. 1t is built of bricks of
light material like pumice stone. The
apartments are about twenty feet
long. The entire building was cover
ed with soil, and not far away mound
was opened and found to contain
skeletons which fell to dust on expos
ure to the air. Considerable pottery
of an excellent quality and other relics
were discovered. It is thought another
buried city is on the plateau above.
