1t Does Not Tax the Brain and Moreover
il SOOthes the Nerves.
Look at a woman with even the
most elaborate fancy work, says the
Spectator. AS soon as her fingers are
we'll trained to it and discharge their
functions as they ought you see that
she hardly needs to think at all Of
what she is doing, and that heart
and soul wander Off to the topics
which interest her most. You see Il
smile steal over her face as she re-
members her children's quaint vag.
aries. or she signs as she thinks Of
the dying mother or the anxious hls-
band. Her heart and soul are no
longer in the mere work, elaborate
though it be.
The stitch has been thoroughly
learned, the practice of it is merely
acknowledgements action as the
psychologists call it-and the heart
and soul are a. liberty to expatiate
on any subject which most deeply in
terests us. In a word, eve the diff
cult technique in which she is en-
gagged has become for her a humdrum
occupation. Now, when nature takes
so much pains to reduce the organiza-
ton of even the highest skill to an
automatic process. is it likely that
there can be any great misfortune in
ehe mere fact that a constantly in
creasing proportion Of the work Of the
world tends TO become automatic and
falls naturally into the character Of
humdrum work?
We suspect that it is nc misfortune
at all; that it may he. on the whole,

THE ~"COMMODORE" SIGNED.
A Good Story About old Vanderbilt and =
Revolver.

In the days of the California sold
fever old commodore Vanderbilt
owned a fast line or steamers between
New York and Aspinwall, at which
place they connected with IA line run
ming to San Francisco. One day,
while the boom was Oh. Commodore
c. X. Garrison made Il contract with
Vanderbilt to buy the fast line. But
while the contract was preparing for
signature and transfer Vanderbilt
received information that caused him
to believe that he had sold out too
cheap. SO when the papers We're
brought to him for signature he de-
clined to ratify the bargain.
-Four days after this Garrison an
into Nahderbilt's office again. sew
eral people were therc. but he waited
until thev had all gone. Then he
took from his pocket a roll Of papers
Commodore Vanderbilt, he said in
a calm, even one ''l'vc brought you
that contract selling your line Of
ships from New York to Aspinwall
and from Panama to san Francisco
for yOu to sign this morning. Please
look over it and see If it is correct"
and Garrison unlolded the papers and
laid them down before Nanderb 1t.
The old mans fac turred as red
as fire. He showed the papers to one
side, and in a voice hOarse with an
ger, said: ''By this and by that |
thought l told you the other day that
l wouldn't ratify that contract, and
l won't. Now, that's the end Of it,
and he roughly threw the papers to-
ward Capt. Garrison.
The latter picked them up off the
door and arranged them without Il
word. He then started for the door.
But instead Of going out he locked it,
put the key in his pocket and walked
back to Vanderbilt. who was watch
ing him with some curiosity. He
carefully spread out the papers again
before the other man. and drawing a
six-inch Derringer he cooked it and
held it within a foot Of Nanderbiit's
right ear.
Commodore Vanderbilt" said he
slowly, '.do you see that clock on the
udUlCl IL IL LOW uNC IilliulCS w
IL. II, when that clock has finished
the stroke of II, you have not signed
that contract. by c., ! will blow
your brains all over this lloor."
There was a dead silence. Wander
bilt turned very pale. He knew his
man. The clock sounded tick. tick.
1t was three minutes, then two. then
one minute Of IL. Good GOd'
thought Mr.. Vanderbilt, must be
murdered right here with no chance
for my life?" The wheels of the
clock began their whir preparatory to
striking the hour. Before the first
stroke had rung out Vanderbilt seized
the pen before him and by the third
note of the hour ne had written his
name to the contract.
4 Then Garrison knocked the deadly
pistol and put it in his Pocket. He
took the papers, walked to the door
and unlocked IL.
commodore" he said, II shall
never tell of what occurred here this
morning"
From that time, though they
passed each other daily on the street
and sat in the same board Of direc
tors, the two men never exchanged l.;
word.

G64 was read Ak follows.
Government of the
Danish West India Islands

No GOA.

Pursuant to S4 Of the Colonial Law the
Government hereby officially forwards for
further treatment by the Council II cop es
Of Prov iaional Ordnance Of 18th April last
concerning measures against Chambers III St.

In further illustration the Government
would offer the following remarks.
On the LIST April last the public Veterinary
Surgeon reported to theGovernment that o the
Estate Bettys Hope the Chambers had shown
itself among the Mules the Government took
at onces such preparatory precautionary measures
as were considered proper. But as it appeared
that the disease was about TO spread, the
Government thought it necessary t. take more
extensive measures, especially provisions that
animals attacked by the disease may be
killed, and for which under the existitg laws
there was no warrant except with the consent
Of the owner.
AS there was cause to dread the further
spread of the disease. unless such more
stringent measures were taken, and as the
further spread of that disease must be con-
sidered as a very serious disaster to the
Island, the Government deemed it it's duty
without delay to provide the necessary law
warrant, and on the 18th April last the
Government by a telegram asked the Minis
ter of Finances for authority to Issue an
Ordinance containing the rules established in
Denmark for compensation i'll such GASES.
After the receipt of telegraphIc authorisa.
ton to extend the rules in the Law of goth
December 1867, the undersigned Governor,
seeing that the case required speedy action,
has on the 18th April issued the present
provisional Ordinance.
