The NaturaIist's Loss.
English Paper.

\ naturalist. who is both an ardent SUDDEN,
in his branch of science and absent minded
to a degree which keeps his family on the
alert, recently celebrated his silver wedding
Many guests were invited for the occasion
and the house was made ready for the recep-
ton of the company. Just as the first guest
arrived one of the daughters was sent to
summon the father who had not come from,
his study. Care had been taken that he
should be reminded to dress in time. so he
was all ready and at the summons of the
daughters he came into the parlor When
they reached the room the daughter no.
ticed that her father carried in his hand a
small wooden box, and as he shook hands
with the nearest guest she saw him
drop it, The cover rolled off, but she gave
a sigh of relief when she saw that the box
was apparently empty. The naturalist,
however uttered a cry of dismay, and in
stantly went down on his hands and knees
in an attempt to gather up something.
Have You spilled ANYTHING, father" she
asked Spilled anything, :" he echoed, in
evident indignation at her calm tone. II
have lost fifty i'eas that have just received
from Egypt" The effect of this intelli-
geuce on the family was nothing in com
parison to the effect the catastrophe had
upon the company before the evening was
over; and the only thing that the naturalist
said TO his friends in answer TO their con-
-ratua,ions upon his happy married life,
50 his daughters declared after all was over,
WAS to ask if they carried away any of his
Egyptian t'eas they would return the insects
to him.

RAILROAD INTERESTS.

Business on the Maine Central is very
large the present fall. 1t takes every man
and machine to keep up with the freight and
passenger procession marching from the
seashore, mountains, farms and factories.
Crews DO donhle work, passenger conduc-
tors are running freight trains, and extra
trains AMI specials are too common to talk
about. "Wednesday the Fixing Yankee
brought 252 passengers from the cast bound
for Boston, and when it lief, Bangor con
sisted of ten ears. People sat in some cars,
three in seat. The traffic tells better than
words of the great prosperity of the State
and the next report will tell in figures of the
great prosperity of the Maine Central. Ii
seems just right that the management should
run the Boston & Maine branch for the
Maine Central management is doing this
big business with level heads and steady
hands and with great care. No single track
road in the world can match it.

ploys. in good times. from 10000 to 10000
men and it follows that there are 10000 or

would be employed there if all the yards
were in fall operation. About one-thirl of
this number it is thought. have migrated to
other shpbuilding centres in Great Britain,
but the Mail thinks 5000 is less than the
number of men actually idle on the Clyde
