COLD WORK.
Dredging Oysters in Narragan-
sett Bay Through Holes in the
LIE BARON DE FREMONT.

dredging oysters In NaPraSan-
sett Bay Through Holes in the
Ice.
Providence Journal.
Not since the cold weather of five
years ago has the novel expedient of
dredging oysters through holes in the
ice been reSorted to. At present one
Providence firm of oyster growers finds
it necessary to do its dredging in this
manner. Dewing, the Exchange place
dealer in fish and oysters, owns the
oyster bed off Nayatt Point. SloOp Bell
port brings the products of the bed to
this city. She is usually kept at anchor
over the homes of bivalves, which as
fast as dredged are put aboard her.
When cargo has been obtained she
ascends the river, discharges the oysters
at a South Main street wharf and re-
turns to the bed.
One cold morning last week the Bell
port found herself surrounded by ice.
Nothing daunted, her skipper attempt
ed to break his way out, but the Bell
port could not get through. Since then
she has been prisoner. For several
days no dredgers descended, but last
Tuesday the dredging through the ice
began. The crew of the Bellport and
several extra Iucll lIOIll NdJdIG cilSdScu
in the business. A gale was sweeping
over the ice, the thermometer was I'M
comfortably near zero and heavy wraps
were absolutely necessary. Strong ice
chisels were obtained. These are made
on the same principle as a carpenters
chisel, or upon a much larger scale.
The steel head weighs three or four
pounds and the handle is about five feet
long. Armed with these instruments,
the crew of the Bellport, looking from
a short distance like EsquimaauX, re-
paired to those places over the bed where
they knew the oysters to be most plenti-
full, and proceeded to cut oblOng holes
through the ice, which was six inches
in thickness Monday and Tuesday. but
has since become two or three inches
thicker. The dredging was then per-
formed in the usual manner.
The cost of obtaining the oysters in
this way was found to be just about
doubled. A big hand-sled was obtained
and loaded with barrels. This was
drawn out to the place, and as fast as a
load was secured it was drawn to the
shore, where q twO-horse wagon was
waiting to receive the oysters. About
a dozen men are now engaged in this
peculiar work on Dewing'S beds. They
appear to enjoy the novelty of their
labor i'm spite of the hardships of the
work of keeping the dredgeS going in
the bitter cold. This is especially Sc
we're on the ice, as the wind has such an
uninterrupted sweep. The residents of
Nayatt enjoy frequent visits to the bed.

occasion he gave fete at his country

guests he found that there wasn't a
punch bowl in I'll England that would
fill the bill. He thought about the mat

record as having the largest punch
bowl in the world. 1t was the basin OF
a big fountain in his garden, at the in
tersectiOn of four walks.
''All the walks were arched with

CHASTITY Vision in an Ocean Storm.


Pail Mall Gazette.
According to a Sydney correspondent,
a letter has been received in the colony
from Z. q. Hart, mate of the ship Pee
bleshire, from which it appears that the
vessel oil her voyage home had a trying
experience, during which they passed
wrecked vessel, on whose decks we're her
dead crew, probably twenty hands. 1t
seems from the letter that when off Cape
Horn the PeebleShire met with hurri-
cane, during which it was not safe to
put stitch of canvass on the vessel.
She was therefore hove TO under bare
poles. i'll which state she drifted for
some hours. While being carried along
thus wrecked ship was seen and the
Peebleshire was taken quite close to
her. To the horror of those on board the
ship about twenty dead bodies were
seen on the deck of the stranger, being
washed about by the seas which were
sweeping over the vessel. This sight
was witnessed under the light of a
brilliant moon and during the howl of
the hurricane, which made the expert
ence as weird as could be imagined.
After a bit the wind moderated and sail
was set to a moderate extent. and the
Peebleshire was carried away from heI

Century Magazine.
The history of the "Pickwick Papers,"
the change in the original design, the
tragic death of Seymour, the nasty
appointment and dismissal Of BusS,
have been graphically described by
Forster in his life of Dickens.
The work, which had started de-
pendent for the most part on illustra-
ton, and had gained success on its let =
ter press, was now in perlouS state.
Its originator dead by his own hand and
his successor declared incapable, the
need of an illustrator was soon nOised
abroad among the artistic fraternity
and two competitors sent i'll their de-
signs -Hablot X. Browne and William
Makepeace Thackeray.
Thackeray, as we know from his own
lips, had at this time the intention OF
becoming an artist. With few sketches
he called upon Dickens, who told him
that the choice had fallen upon Browne.
Leaving Eurnival inn, Thackeray
made his way to Newman street to &C
quaint his rival with his success and to
offer him the earliest congratulations.
Together these young men Immediately
repaired to a neighboring public house,
where banquet, consisting of sauSageS
and bottled stout, was held for the bet
ter satisfying of their appetites and to
do greater honor to the occasion.
The feast finished, the good wishes
pledged and Thackeray gone. Browne
started off 10 communicate the news
and to get the assistance of his guam
dam fellow-apprentice, Robert Young,
who was then boarding in Chester
place. Bidding him bring his latch

man street, and throughout that night

morning the first was finished, and i'll
Sam Weller creation was given to the
world, a new character had entered
what may be called the realm of historic
fiction.

Proposed English Channel Bridge.

Detroit Free Press.
New plans have been made for the
projected bridge across the English
channel, and the promoters will apply
to parliament this session for powers to
go ahead with its construction. The
engineers are Sir John Fowler and Sir
Benjamin Baker. The length of the
bridge has been reduced about three
miles, and the number of piers have
been reduced from 121 to ~. The
cantiever system is proposed. The
greatest span will be 1910 feet. The
masonry piers are to be 147 feet long
and &C feet broad. The cost is esti-
mated at 932, $50, 900.
