the water, and in the darkness the Brisk
struck it a glancing blow, Immediately
whistling for the Mllkmaid to stop. The

there could be anything serious, only
slowed up, but ran into the log, bow

During the recent freshet hundreds Of
cords Of wood and about two thousand
shingle bolts from the Cowlitz river
were thrown up on the beach. It was
an interesting sight yesterday to see
these men cutting huge logs into stove
wood lengths, and rolling them up the
beach to their homes. They used
large instrument like pair Of Ice tongs
with which to drag the logs along.

stumped down to the fort, accompanied by
their high miRhtinesses. the honorable
councillors, and In the council chamber he
said that the young folks Of the city must
be cured Of their light disregard Of be-
trothal VOWS. The council agreed with
him, and so, on that afternoon, Jan. is,
1868, brand new proclamation was posted
about the city, and the town crier went
around calling out TO all youths and maid
ems to listen to the decree Of the director
general Of New Netherland Here Is the
text Of 1t as found in tho old city records:
"Whereas the director general and coun-
oil Of New Netherlnnd are not only In
formed, but have sufficiently ascertained
that some individuals, after their marriage
banns have been three times proclaimed,
do not proceed with the solemnization Of
their marriages as they ought to do, but
postpone 1t from time TO time, not only
weeks, but months, which is directly con-
trary to the good order and customs of the
fatherland:
being desirous to provide therefor and
to prevent Irregularities and disorders
which may arise from that source, the di.
rector general and the council do CON-
mand that all persons who have boen pub
llshed shall, after three proclamations have
been made and no lawful impedimcnts in
tervening, solemnize the marriage ut least
within month after the last publication,
or to appear in court before that time and
show cause for such delay, under the PEN
atty Of 10 81. for the first week after the
said month shall have elapsed, and for
each following week q. 90, until they shall
hnvo explained their noncompliance.
That is the way the director general
sought to curb tho fiokleness of the youths
and maidens of New Amsterdam, and as
history makes him out chole-!o old gen.
tleman, bound to have his way, and as
the young Dutchmen were thrifty souls,
novel maker that might have lived then
would have been compelled to seek some
other livelihood, and, as for eossips, they
surely must have ianguished. York

An Eccentric Pianist.

After an interval Of IA years London
has again heard the pianist D'Albert,
whose nationality is so great a puzzle.
He has French name and was born in
Scotland. His mother was English and
his father, well known dancing mas
ter, was the son of a captain of French
artillery and of German mother, whose
ancestors were Russianl Though edu-
Gated in England, he adopted Germany
as his country, and wrote savage re-
marks about the "British barbarians.
At his reappearance in London there
was 'little or no applause" when he
first came on the stage, but matters
mended gradually, and his greatest sue
cess was won with Liszt's don Juan"
fantasia, to the great disgust of the crit
les, who cannot understand why edu-
Gated audiences the world over, and
great pianists likewise, should be so
fond of Liszt One of the critics says
that save for full grown mustache
D'Albert is much the same boyish figure
which he presented in 1S62.-New York

Holes In the Sails For Speed.

The statement of an Italian sea cap
tain that he had proved by experience
that ship goes faster when her sails
are perforated with number of holes
than when they are quite sound, was at
first looked upon as too ridiculous for
consideration. Unbelievers, however,
now find that the Italian has gone a
long way toward proving his case. His
theory is that the force of the wind can
not fairly take effect on an inflated sail,
because of the cushion Of immovable air
that fills up the hollow. Toprevent this
cushion collecting, he bored number
of holes in the sail, which let part Of
the wind blew right through it and al
lowed the remainder to strike against
the canvas and exercise its full effect.
Several trials have been made, and it
looks as if this is another Of those para
doxical truths which appear SO impossi-
BILE on the surface. The experiments were
made in all weathers. In light wind
boat with ordinary sails made 4 knots,
while with the perforated sails she COW
cred 5 ID knots; in a fresh breeze she
did knots with ordinary sails and 81
knots with the improved sails; in a
strong wind she did and 10 knots re-
spectively. If this augmented speed
were sustained throughout long voyage
it would increase the value of the ship
one-fifth, as she would make the same
trip in four weeks that she did before in
five weeks Boston Transcript.
