SoNVlLLE TUG.
Jacksonville Times.Union.

Capt. w. T. Lewis, commanding the
tug Catherine. of This port, reported
Yesterday that on Monday while some
distance out al sea he discovered a
bark flying distress signals, and went
10 her assistance.
The vessel proved to be the Urn.
guayan bark Los Seis Hcrmanos, Cap
tain Manuel, master. from unswick.
Ga, bound for Valencia, Spain. She
was leaking badly. and the captain
soon arranged with Captain Lewis for
tae Catherine TO tow the bark to May
port.
Captain Manuel reported that he left
Brunswick, Ga. on February s, with
z cargo Of lumber for Valencia. spain
During a severe blow, encountered the
vessel had hard time, and the cap
tain ordered the deck cargo thrown

al the pumps. An effort was made to
reach Mayport, SO as to put in for re.
pairs. and while the Los Seis Her
manos was making slow progress. she
was sighted by Captain Lewis of the
tug Catherine.
The water stood five feet in the
hold of the bark. and was slowly gain
ing when she was taken in tow by
the Catherine. She was towed to May
pert, where she now lies, and the cap
tain was in Jacksonville yesterday to
arrange for dischaTging the cargo at
Mayport, so that the vessel can come
up to jacksonville to be hauled out
on the ways for repairs.
Senior Carrera, the Spanish consul,
who is also consul for Uruguay, was
also reported to by Captain Manuel,
and has communicated with the own
ers of the bark.
Captain Manuel went to the custom
house yesterday to file a report of the
vessel coming here for repairs, but as
his papers were all made out in Span
ish. he had to have the same inter
preted and translated into English be-
fore the same could be filed.
Los Seis HermanOs, in English,
means The Six Brothers. and that is
the name of the vessel in United
States, just as the tug Three Friends
would be known as Tres Amigos in
Spanish.

A Sixtus v. SaIad.

When Pope Sixtus V. was an OBJ
scure monk he had great friend in a
certain lawyer who sank steadily into
poverty while the monk rose to the
papacy. The poor lawyer journeyed to
Rome to seek aid from his old friend
the pope, but he fell sick and told his
doctor to let the pope know of his sad
state. 81 will send him a salad" said
Sixtus. and duly dispatched a basket
Of lettuce to the invalid. When the
lettuce was examined money was
found in the hearts. Hence the Italian
proverb Of a man in need OF money,

Tired Trees.

The condition of life in a tropical
forest is sunlight. and to get to the top.
where alone there is sunlight, is the
constant aim of every tree. They have
no winters rest in the tropics, and they
are so hard at work all day long that
at night the trees seem quite tired out.
From dawn to sunset the trees are
hard at work. You can almost see
some of them growing, and, as may
naturally be supposed, they must have
a little rest at night. The tree is thor
oughly exhausted, its branches lose
their stiffness, while the leaves droop
and fold themselves together. Un-
like those Of temperate climates, the
trees of the tropics all. more or less,
show these signs Of exhaustion toward
sunset

The Magnetic Needle.

There are two places on the earth's
surface where the magnetic needle
must point due south. They are not
easy places to reach. One is in the
arctic region north of the northern
magnetic pole, on the line between that
pole and the geographical north pole,
The other is in the antarctic regions,
south of the southern magnetic pole,
on the line between that spot and the
geographical south pole. In the first
case the point of the needle is attract
ed to the northern magnetic pole. In
the second case the other end of the
needle is attracted to the southern
magnetic pole.

Curious Custom.

In Friesland, it seems, there is a Gus
tom that the news OF birth or death
is announced verbally by a man who
calls at every house in the village fol-
that purpose. II he brings the news OF
a birth he wears white gloves; If of q
death they are black. Some days back
a child was born dead in Tristan vii
lage. 1t was necessary that the usual
announcement should be made, but in
what colored gloves? The hsrbinger
was a man Of resource. He went his
rounds wearing one white glove and
one black one.

feel themselves aggrieved because of
the non-payment of these debts TO

only way TO guarantee payment TO be

The Monroe doctrine prohibits this.
The United States before taking this

London Built on sponses.

One could surely md no worse
ground TO build upon than a bed OF
sponges such as we use for the bath.
And yet London has for its subsoil
only sponges. although we call them
dInts. Once they grew as sponges do
now in salt water shadows, and they
are found in layers petri6ed among
the chalk Of southern England. The
Thames valley chalk has been melted
like so much sugar and carried away
with the running waters, but the fints
have been left behind, and on these the
whole city Of London has found its
excellent foundations.
