Shot Gun Quarantine.

NEW YORK, Sept. l2.-The steamer
Cophius, with first and second cabin
passengers, was prevented from land
ing them bv q mob of several hun
dred armed men, who had gathered
from Islisp, Babylon and other Long
Island resorts. They threatened to
burn the Surf hotel and its thirteen
cottages to the ground If the Nor
mania's passengers were landed and
so frighteued the pilot of the
Cor Illus that he refused to cross
the bar, and put back to Sandy
Hook, where the unhappy passen-
gers were su bsequenty transferred to
ct 'amers Stonington and New Hamp-
snire for the night. All passengers
passed miserable night. Many of
the detained people breaking down
completely, wept at their fate, be-
waiiing the apparent mismanage-
ment of the authorities. Governor
Flower is in New York today and i'm
mediately began to investigate chole-
"a troubles, particularly the situation
at Fire Island. The governor said he
anticipated no further trouble from
Fire Island. The state would take
possession at once, if necessary. He
would order the troops out. He
is prepared to take any steps
no matter how stringent, 10 keep
cholera away from New York. There
was only one death yesterday on the
detained vessels. That was Cd the
Scandal. The disease seems to be
confined to that vessel.
The authorities have successfully
fought cholera for eighteen days, but'
there are now $500 people in quaran-
tine and before emigration ceases,
there will be about 10000 to be taken
care of at the gates of New York.
DR.. Jenkins has 80 armed deputies
at Fire Island, scattered among the
armed mob at Islip, ready to act in
case of an outbreak at sandy Hook.
At 1920 a dispatch says the CepheIs,
after leaving the steamer Stonington,
is now heading again for Fire
Island. The Commercial Advertiser
saws more than one hundred boats,
con tanning about one thousand men,
armed with guns, pistols and other
weapons, sailed from various points
in the Great South bay to-
wards Fire Island, fully determined
to prevent. by force, II necessary, the
Ian ding OF quaran tined cabin passen-
gers on Fire Island. The Mail and
Express special from Babylon says
almost every body in the village is
armed and will resist any invasion.
Justice of the Peace Cooper says that
the hotel and all its surrounding
buildings will be burned to the ground
if q landing is attempted. Judge
Barnard, of the supreme court, Brook
Ign, acted today in the Fire Island
matter. He issued an injunction re-
straining Gov. Flowers, DR.. Jenkins
and others from landing the quaran-
tined passengers on Fire Island. This
applies to the town of lslisp In par

powerful in the land, and even now we
shall find that certain delicate missions
are intrusted to Them such as seeking
interviews with commanders in chief,
where persuasive elOquence or more
substantial inducements are required.
But the new government does not lie on
a bed of roses. Summary executions,
imprisonments, exiles, cruel and relent-
less rigor have not broken the spirit Of
the opposing faction. In town and ham,
let, in vale and mountain, the recruits
are driven in by sheer force, with all
the horrors of an oid-time press gang.
Then the army takes the field, headed
by the gorgeously dressed generals,
colonies, captains, and lieutenants, who
outnumber the pr.vates, struggling,
motley crowd, fanked by mothers, wives.
and sweethearts, carrying muskets, huge
packs of army baggage, provisions, etc.
1t often happens that the reports OF
these sangunary battles with which the
telegraph acquaints US are works OF
pure imagination; the lighting itself is
of most desultOry character, partaklng
Of the Chinese fashion Of warfare. Still
there will always be small band,
headed by some dare devil, American,
Irishman or Frenchman, who will make
desperate stand to die game. In the
cayital reports of defeat or overwhelm-

wives and sisters besiege the official

Sad Paintings.

In an amusing account of her farm
ing difficulties, Kate Sanborn re-
counts her struggles in raising
poultry, and gives an appalling list OF
the maladies to which hen-flesh is
heir. Even with the conquest of
these preliminary trials, however,
difficulties do not cease, for, having
raised the chickens from helpless
babyhood to such stage that they
have become family pets, parting
with them proves wellnigh unen-
durable.
It is a hard and slow struggle to
get my chickens killed. say, in an
off-hand manner, with assumed non
chalance:
"Ellen, want Tom to kill a rooster
at once for to-morrow's dinner, and /
have an order from a friend for four
more; SO he must select five to-
night"
Then begins the trouble.
"Oh," pleads Ellen, don't kill dear
Dick! poor, dear Dick! That is
Toms pet of all; so big and hand
some, and knows SO much! He will
jump up on Toms shoulder and eat
out of his hand, and come when he
calls And those big Brahmas, don't
you know how they were brought up
by hand, as you might say, and they
know me, and hang around the door
for crumbs; and that beauty of a
Wyandotte, you couldn't eat him!"
When the matter is decided, and
guillotining is going on. Ellen and /
sit listening to the ax-thuds and the
death-squawks, while she wrings her
hands saying:
ooh, dearie me. what a world this
is! What thing to look into, that
we must kill the poor innocents to
eat them. And they were so tame
and cunning, and would follow me

Carpenteriny in Japan.

japanese carpenters are ingenious
wOrkmen, and their work is done
with marvellous neatness. A curious
feature of their homes is that they
do not contain nail, all the joints
and timbers being dovetailed together
by many ingenious devices; and the
whole Of the work, even to the raft
ers, is as smooth as if it had been
polished down with sandpaper.
And the japanese are neat peo-
pie, for they use no paint to hide any
blemish of construction or orna-
mentation; no tilagree work or plas-
ter of paris gewgaws; but every
stick in the building is exposed. Ev-
cry morning, as regularly as she cooks
the breakfast, or sweeps the floor, the
japanese housewife takes a wet cloth
and scOurs the whole interior of the
dwelling, leaving no part untouched,
and no stains or dirt spots to mar its
Clearly appearance.
Then the Japanese do not come
into the house with muddy boots,
but, having covered the floor with
neat mating, always remove their
dirty sandals before stepping upon it.
1t is interesting to watch the Japan
csc carpenters at their work. and the
popularity of their movements. The
japanese carpenter works toward
him-that is, instead of showing
a plane upon the board at arms
length, he pulls it towards him: and
he cuts, saws, and chops in the same
way.
His saws are fixed in handles like a
butchers cleaver, and the teeth slant
toward the handle. The planes are
constructed like ours, but the wooden
portion is very thin and wide. The
adze is fastened to the end of a
hoped stick; yet although their tools
are different from ours, they are
neither awkward in appearance nor
aWkwardly handled.

VIII Beat the Thomas Cat.

An old trapper has been bringing
from the mountains for two weeks a
number of peculiar little animals
that have puzzled good many peo-
pie to tell what they were. They
are about the size of common cat
and have large bushy tails like that
Of raccoon. Their bodies are long
and slender and we'll protected by a
thick growth of brownish-colored
hair. Their eyes are black and snap
ping, and when leased they growl
and spit like cat, showing a row of
teeth as sharp as cambria needles.
The name of these little animals is
the Bessaris, and they are a species
of the civet cat, ranking between the
fox and the weasel. They are better
than all the pussies in creation as
rat exterminators, and about twenty
of them have been turned loose in
different warehouses and livery
stables in this city.-Marysville APP
