\ Marine Hero.

Among the inmates of the National
Soldiers holncat Togus, Me-, is Richard
Rowley, who was captain of the guns on
the kcarsargc when she sunk the Ala
bama Off the harbor of Chcrbourg,
France, and performed an act of bravery
which probably saved his ship and her
crew. The battle had ragged for ovcr az
hour and u half, when a 100 pound rifle
shell from the Alabama struck the gun
which Rowley vas sighting and fell on
the deck, with the fuse still burning. In
an instant Rowlev picked it upan1 throw
it into the sea, where it exploded just as
it touched the water. The sailors beard
and mustache were burned off 10y the
fuse, but he stepped back to his gun and
sent a shot into the sinking Alabama.
Capt. Winslow at once gave the order
to man the rigging and give three cheers
for Quartermaster Rowlcy. The latter
was greatly lionizcd after his return to
this country. Congress voted him a gold
medal; he received other valuable gifts.
and President Lincoln personally thanked
him. For several days before his inter-
| view with the president. Rowley had ac-
cepted frequent invitations to drink
| champagne, and probably showed the
effects. AS he arose to go MI. Lincoln
gave him q hundred dollars, saying.
Now don't drink too much liquor;
drink just Il little, but not too much. ]
know you old sailors all like a little srog,
but be careful and not drink too much

The English Language,

English men of letters are p%erpetually
scolding and nagging at one another for
speaking and writing bad English, or for
p~ronouncing it ~crroLeously, and the fault
finders make, as Il rule. as many mis-
takes as do the writer's and speakers
whom they profess to correct. And then
step in, f%orsooth, the Americans, clad
from top to toe in the shining arnor of
self confidence, and they airily tell us
that we know not how to speak or pro-
nouncc our own language, and that to
mend u ways we should take lessons
OF Bostcnitcs or the Dutch-Irish-l1ny-
lish ard altogether cosmopolitan people
OF New York. We may needs vince a
little under these structures, for our
withers are no by any means unwrung,
and To the car of Il foreigner who has
mado only IL literary study of English it
is certain that our pronunciation, or
rather our many and Observation-Disclosures
of pronunciation, must appear very H.
logical and very ludicrous.
1t is not alone clergymen who drawl
the church service and humble their
scrmons; it is not alone school children
who are taught to read in m%onotonous
sing-song; it is no alone young ladies
who, through alfcctation, lisp or mince
'hcir words, but it is the great body of
English pcople-aye, of educated Eng
fish pcople-who labitually stanmcr be-
fore they can find the right word, who
rarely pronounce their final c%onsonants,
who slur and shuttle their syllablcs into
IL another, who almost invariably put
the wrong emphasis on the chief mem
bers of q phrase, and who, if they do not
absolutely chew and swallow the ends of
their vocablcs, as the modern Greeks do,
utter them in such IL disj"intcd and slip
shod fashion as to make them more than
half unintelligiblc to the foreign car.
This is why it may be quite feasible for
a Frcnchman to live seventeen years in
England without being able to under
stand English. -London Telegraph.

y snake with Ten Hattlcs.

y man III Oasdalc, l.. L., had an experience
with snakes some tiine.ago which will last
him the rest of his neutral life. While en-
gagged in gathering wood in the forest he
heard u rattle and discovered just in front of
him Il large ratt!esnako ready to spring. He
struck the reptile. aud, as he supposed, killed
II. Then lie heard another rattle, ana hchcld
ut his right hand another snake ready for ac-
ton, while Il rattle on his LETT revealed still
another. He hit each OF them, and while lie
was beating them to be sure they were dead
he heard IL rattle behind him. The fourth
snake WAS soon killed. He put the four snake.
in his wagon and drove out of the woods. As
he got off the vehicle at tho club house he
was just in time to see the first snake lie had
hit coi!ins up i'll tie wagon. evidently pre-
pairing for another spring. lie killed it. Two
of the snakes had nine rnttlcs each and The
largest one ten.

Wheat ard Whence r. c,mo.

Wheat, Which is now the bread corn of
twelve European nations, and is fast sup
planting maize in America and several in.
feTior grains in India, was no doubt widely
grown in the prehistoric world. Tho Chinese
cultivated 1t 200 B. C. as a gift direct from
heaven, tho Egyptians attributed its origin
to Isis and the Greeks to Ceres. a classic
account of the distribution of wheat over tho
primeval world shows that Ceres, having
taught her ~favorite Triptolemus agriculture
and the art Of bread making, gave him her
chariot, a celestial vehicle which he used in
useful travels FOR the purpose of distributing
corn to all nations.
Ancient monuments show that the cultiva.
ton o! wheat had been established in Ecypt
before the invasion of the shepherds. and
there is evidence that more productive varic.
ties of wheat have taken the place of one, at
least, of the ancient sorts. Innumrrablc va.
rietlcS exist of common wheat. Col. lie Cou
tour, OF Jersey, cultivated l50 varieties. Mr.
Darwin mentioned Il French gentleman who
lad colicetcd ~ varieties, and the great firm
OF French seed merchants, Nilmorin-. Nnlrirux
ct Gle, cultivate about twice as many in their
trial grounds near Paris.
Three small grained varieties of common
wheat were cultivated by tn. first lake
jewellers of Switzerland ui,nc of Trojan war;.
and us well as by the less amcien, lake dwell
crS of western Switzerland and of Italy, hv
the people of Hungary i'll the stone ago. nnl
10y the Egyptians on the evidence of n hr,c.,
OF Il pyramid i'll which II grain was imbcldcl.
and To which tho date of 500 Il. {. has been
assigned. The eNistencoo o names for wheat
in tho most ancient languages confirms this
evidence of the antiquity OF its culture in all
the more temperate parts of i|;uropc, Asia
and Africa, but it seems Improbable that
WHEAT has ever been found growing pcrs;,,
entity in IL wild state, although, tho fact has
often been asserted 10y poets, travellers and
historians.
In the Odyssey, for example, we are told
that wheat grew ill Sicily without tho aid OF
man, v Il blind poet could not have seen
this himself, and Il botanical fact can hardly
be accepted from IL writer whose own exist
cnce has been contested. Diolorus repeats
the tradition that Osiris found wheat and
barley growing proniscuoliSly i'll Palestine,
but neither this nor other discoveries of per
slstent wild wheat seem to lis to lie credible,
seeing that wheat does not appear to be en-
bowed with a power of rersistcncy except
under culture. Edinburgh Review

OMiMnS, Dog.

Dumas, and we Go not want to be SO unlucky,
though strong, as another person OF whom he
tells Il story. NJ. Alexandra Dumas pcrc had
Il hound called Mouton, an unlcInonstrative

Dumas had introduced this dog into n novel.
AS he sat and wrote lie kept an eye OH his

watched Mouton's excavations Of the dahlia.
When the paragraph was done lie gave the
unsuspcctins Mouton Il kick behind, and his
Mouton returned to him. With ono hand lie
caught the dog by the throat, Mouton caught
tho other hard i'll his jaws, and there was a
noble fight. At last Mouton gave in, and for
three days NJ. Dumas, with his hand under a
stream OF cold water, waited to see if Mouton
would "takr his meals regular" For three
