The schooner John r. Halliday finished
discharging her cargo of acid phosphate
yesterday, and sailed for St. Simons,

The Norwegian bark Electra, Capt.

burg, Russia, with 1000 bales of cotton,
valued at ST. III.
The Propeller Towboat Companv's tug
Jacob Paulsen, has been hauled UP on
VIKINGS marine railway to have a new

The British bark Gler, Capt McNutt,
which sailed from London Dec 81, arrived
here to-day in ballast, CONSIGNED to Duck
worth, Turner x Co. Her captain reports
having most tempestuOus passage. The
vessel was driven back TO London three
times by the heavy storms of the coast of
England during the latter part of Docem-
Der. The balance of the voyage was
marked by a succession of heavy
weather and terrible gales, through
which the vessel passed, without sustain
ing any material damage. The Gler was
in sight of Tybee last Saturday, but the
strong gale and heavy weather prevented
her from coming in, and she was put to
sea. The vessel was hove to Tuesday off
Cape Hatteras, when she set sail for Ty-
bee again, which she reached yesterday
morning.
Two examples of aluminium built yachts
are at present to be seen in French
waters, says the London Engineer. One
is the lotion yacht Fendenessa. launched
last month from the stocks Of the Societe
de Chantiers de la Loire, and now in
course of being fitted out for next season.
The other is 33-fooJ sailing boat, now on
exhibition on the Seine The former
craft has been built for the well-known
French yachtSman, Comte de Chamba
mes Ia Palice, from the designs of M. Y.
Grielloux. 1t is computed that if
this vessel had been constructed of
steel frame and wood planking, like
other boats of her class, her hull would
have weighed some 4 tons 3 cwt., but in
aluminium the weight is only some tons
6 cwt. The other craft referred to is
named the Jules DaVOust and with il
Lieut.. HOurst intends to set out on a sur
vey expedition on the Niger This craft
affords additional proof of the great suit
ability of aluminium as the structural
material for boats Intended for excep-
tional purposes, such as river survey and
exploration. The toat complete only
weighs IS cwt, fact which sufficiently
indicates the extreme portability of the
craft when overland transport is involved.

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1894-11-30

For years It has becn noticed that
intellectually the hen is failing. She
In not what she was even before the
war, and IL has attracted the Aitentio
not only of scientists, but OF the aver
ago layman. What is the cause Of the
hens intellectual retrogression?
OF course there is no question re-
garding the existence OF the trouble.
The hen does not shine socially as abe
once did. She 10 moody and taciturm.
and her memosy is deficient. You lei
her get into an inclosure through a
hole, aud she will remain there aud
die before she can remember where
that hole is or uso II to get out
through.
| noticed more Idiotic hens in the
past two years than ever before.
Brain troubles are moro noticeable.
More shens are noticed who cackle
when they have not laid an egg or
who forget TO cackle when they have
done so. More hens show signs OF
hypocbondria. The glad aud careless
laugh is no longer heard. see more
pale, languid hens-hens that are still
young, yet with al air OF age and SEN
ility, prematuroly aged and tough.
/ am led TO believe that there Is a
cause for this, and a simple one.
A.yoar ago bought 16 plain.pullets
of a man who lives at Ilogg's Neck, IS
miles away. Hc delivered them on
the following day, be and his son
bringing them on foot in four. bunch
es Of four each, with legs tied together
like parcel OF spring onions. For 18
miles they had come with their heads
hanging down and the blood rushing
to their brains.
AS a result, these hens are noticea-
BILE for their impaired intellects. Il is
almost pathetic to watch them david.
ling their lives away or cackling va
cantly 10 each other, while the rising
generation seems even more silly than
the older ones.
So intellectually deficient has tho
American hen become recently that
she is to-day the dry nurse for the
turkey, the duck, the guinea hen aud
the goose. What other fowl would
quietly and even choerfully hatch aud
rear The castoff children Of other barn
yard fowls? What other warm blooded
mammal is so far lost to decent pride
as to become a foundliug asylum for
the gandcr, the type and symbol OF
idiocy?
What other fowl would without
complaint forego her vacations in or
der to sit for six weeks on a child's
tin dog What other class or genus
Of the brute creation, aside from cou-
gress, is content 10 sit its life away
without tangible result2 What man.
NAL, aside from the hen, will sit all
summer gazing into space and then
come forth with a radiant smile and
with nothing to show for it but a hot
doorknob or an amendment 2-Prof.
