Terrible Fate of ColOred Cook ON Nor
folk, Va.
NORFOLK, Va, June 1+-lnformatlon
has been received in this city of the
fearful death of a colored cook of the
schooner Silver Queen, which arrived
at this port yesterday afternoon and
left this morning. John Hervard, the
colored cook aboard the schooner, and
others, while near the mouth of the
bav, saw a school of sharks following
close after the vessel. Upon the sug-
gestion of one of the men an imprOvised
net was made and endeavors begun to
capture one of the man-eating mon
sters. During the necessary ex-
citement that followed, John Hervard
by some means became entangled in the
meshes of the net, and before he could
be rescued by any of the crew the un-
fortunate man fell over the vessels
side. At the time he fell the foremost
of the monsters was not more than ten
feet away. Several buoys were thrown
to him at once, but it is supposed that
the suction caused by the vessels speed
drew him Immediately under. The
anchor was thrown and the sails low
cred. but the unfortunate man was seen
no more, and is supposed to have be-
come victim to the sharks hunger A
small school of sharks was recently re-
ported in Hampton Roads by an incom-
ing steamer.

approval upon all modern innovations
The shah has over sixty wives, four OF
whom accompanied him to Europe. His
meeting with Mrs. Gladstone, who has
been married well nigh sixty years to
the Grand Old Man, drew forth the re-
mark from some one, that it were more
desirable to have one wife for sixty
years than sixty wives for one year.
And this remark | indOrse, though not
from experience.
The dinner passed off rather quietly,
as is generally the case at such ceremo-
nious functions. 1t was long, tedious,
and far from agreeable. The Prince of
Wales watched the progress of the shah,
who ate very sparingly of everything,
and when he was almost finished, passed
the word around the table, so that all
the guests were ready to rise when the
shah arose. The exit was accompanied
with the same pomp as the entry, and
when the shah and his suite passed out,
the restraint was taken away. The
guests found their tongues and con-
versed at freedom.
It occurred to me, as sat at the table
and watched the shah, who looks for
all the world like North American In
dian, that | would not care to change
places with him, in spite of his titles,
wives and jewels. Contentment is a
rare jewel Liberty of action, freedom
of movement and speech, are richer pos
sessions than rubies. A boy who is a
citizen of this great republic is richer
than the ruler of whom I have just
written. The most honorable position
in the world is within his reach. There
is no higher honor than to be entrusted
with the government Of sixty millions
of free people. OF course all the boys
cannot be presidents, but you never
know when you are talking to a presi-
dent nowadays, and am getting more
and more deferential to even the news

The Swiss Guards Mistake.

Masquerading is allowed during car
nival time in certain Italian towns be-
tween sunset and sunrise, but not during
business hours of the day. Cardinal
Mazella being Lately at Pisa, and having
an official visit to pay to some dignitary
who lived close to his hotel, set out on
foot in his scarlet robe and beretts- a
policeman, unaccustomed to see aprince
of the church unattended and walking
in the street, stopped his eminence and
severely informed him that it was for
hidden TO go about disguised in broad
daylight He had taken the cardinal for
a hummer. This was better, however,
than what happened to = cardinal at the
last ecumenical council, when great
crowd of bishops were pressing into st.
Peters, so that the Swiss guards could
not keep a way clear for the pope and
his suite. One of these men, impatient
at being showed about, lifted the stock
of his halbert, and ramming it behind
him hit a cardinal in the pit Of the stom-
aeh. A moan from his eminence caused
the guard to look round, upon which he
humbly excused himself on the ground
that he thought he was hitting bishop.

THE WATER BEAR.
Some of the. Queer Things Revealed by

Some of the. Queer Things Revealed by
the Microscope.
If in pond water you should find, re-
volving slowly, some round balls of the
loveliest green color, and covered with
a delicate network, you may read about
them in any book on microscopy, under
the heading Volvox. Inside may be
seen smaller balls of the same kind. By
and by the big ball will break open and
free the little ones, each of which will
then grow and grow, until in due time
it will break open too, and still newer
balls will begin their rowing lives.
Wherever two meshes of the confning
net cross are two hairs, so small that
they are altogether invisible except I'M
der very powerful microscope These
hairs, like those on the vorticelle, are
used in securing food and in moving
about. VolvoX, however, is classified
as plant and not as an animal
must not forget my friend the water
bear. He is such a comical, clumsy
fellow. He goes slowly about on his
eight little feet, polling and plodding
among the minute water plants, always
sure of finding something good to eat
He is the very embodiment of indolent
content Yet for all he seems so salts
fed with his lot in life, his personal
appearance is not always pleasant to
himself; for at intervals he slips bodily
out of his skin, and appears in an en-
tirely new suit, though 1 must confess
the general style of the cast-off dress
is retained Instead of throwing the
old suit aside, as certain and bigger
and clumsier creatures do, he gets out
of it so deftly that it stands upright
and complete, even to his four pairs Of
shoes.
When the mother bear slips out of
her old dress, she leaves some eggs in
it In few days these hatch and some
baby bears begin swimming around in
the cast-off skin But only for short
time. They soon find their way to the
feeding grounds, and at once begin
climbing slowly about, and seem as
muah at home as are their parents--St
Nicholas
