The second Of free course Of scientific lectures
under the auspices Of the trustees Of Cooper Union
was delivered last night in the large hall. Professor
A. j. Ebell announced as his subject animal Struc-
turen and stated that he should refer more partcu-
larry to his subject In Its connection with fishes and
reptiles. The functions OF animals might be divided
into animal ana vegetative, which again branched
out into sensation, nntritive and generative. The
first portion OF structure referred to by the lecturer
was the bones. The strength OF bone, made,
as 1t is. OF animal ana mineral matter was
twenty-five times more than that OF freestone.
rhe rudlmental formation OF the bony structure
was similar in all the branches OF the animal
kingdom, and all belonged to two systems The
musc es were the ropes which gave motion to the
bones. The sensational system was next discussed.
The nervous system came under this head, and 1t
again mad branching out from 1t, which were
the five senses. After having thus intro
duced his subject to his hearers Professor
Ebell proceeded to deal with the structure
OF the fishes. Commencing with the head
the lecturer gave minute description OF the forma-
ton Of the fishes illustrating his remarks by some
very well executed drawings upon the blackboard
The reptile kingdom was discussed In the same
manner with similar illustrations.


The hall was comfortably filed and the lecture
was received with considerable satisfaction.

At Portugal Cove, writes our New
foundland correspondent, used to
stroll through the village in :" the
gloamin," and through the open doors,
and uncertained windows, l could see
the inmates of the cottages "at home"
and learn something of their "homely
joys and destiny obscure. The lads
and lasses I often met in couples, roam
ing about in the sweet summer evening
and, in many cases, it was evident from
the friendly relations between them,
that new cottage would shortly be
needed. In fact, the grand passion
was cropping out in this little hamlet
as strongly as in the gas-lighted city,
and pondered on that universal law of
sympathy between the sexes which
was at that moment drawing myriads OF
fishes towards the shore from the far off
depths of ocean, and which, bound
ing and billowing in the human breast,
creates the sacred ties of husband and
wife, home and family; laying the
foundation of states and building mp
family life all over the world. And as
I saw through the open door the big,
weather. beaten fisherman tossing his
growing baby in his strong arms, while
it's little fists were clutching at his
bushy whiskers, and the mother looked
on its precocious performances with
pride and Joy, 1 thought that the hap
piness of this poor couple, who had
perhaps scarcely blanket on their bed,
or more than barrel of flour as pro-
vision for the future, was as great as
that of the lord and lady of broad acres,
rejoicing over the advent of the heir OF
all their vast possessions.

The price of beef and pork for the last
two years should awaken more interest
throughout the country in breeding NUT
t1n sheep, even if other considerations
did not affect the q estion. There is nc
good reason why mutton should not
command relatively, as remuneratlve
prices to the grower as either pork OF
beef In this country there is an absurd
aversion to mutton. Good mutton be
sides being toothsome and palatable
food, is said to be the healthiest food
that man can eat; at least not less heath
full than beef, and far more so than pork,
and if more attention was paid to rails
ing sheep for the shambles, es,-breedine
the best breeds for that purpose, and
providing rich and nutritious pastures
for them,-it would not be long before
a much greater demand for mutton
would spring up than now exists.


We regard it as simply question OF
time that mutton will enter far more
largely, as food product, into the
business of farming, than it now does.
The demand for mutton will increase
with population, and with this increased
demand more attention will be directed
to producing sheep of better quality fol
the butcher, and this in turn will beget
inquiry as to the management of pas
turage for sheep. A supply of nutri-
tious rich grass is indispensable to sue
cess, and to provide this beyond pread-
attention to under draining, top-dress-
ing, and properly managing grazing
lands.


The productiveness of the grass lands
or pastures of England, always furnish
es theme for remark to the American
who sees them, while the poverty OF
ours as general thing, is ever matter
of surprise to English farmers. The
dryness of our climate as compared with


hat of England may, in some measure,
account for the difference, but with
proper management, and the care be-
slowed on grass lands here that is prac-
ticed there, we believe that very little
difference between them would be mani
fest. It is admitted that sheep return
a large amount, comparatively, of fer
tilizing matter to the soil, and hence
they are very often employed to aid in
the recuperation of worn out lands.
Their use, in this behalf, together with
other judicious appliances, as seeding
to grasses, top-dressing, drainage, ETC.,
is an infallible remedy for exhausted
soils, and the surest way constantly to
increase their fertility to the maximum
of productive capacity.


As regards breeds best adapted for
mutton, various experiments have been
tried to produce the best type, with
varying results. An English darmer
who has given the subject much atten-
ton, crossing the most approved NUT
ton breeds, thinks that coupling Cots
void rams with Southdown ewes pro-
duces the best results.

To keep winter squashes in perfection

squashes that are only required by a

A WRITER in Lippincott's Magazine
notices the fact that in Florida there
are many lakes which have holes IN the
bottom, and underground commum-
cation, so that they will sometimes
shrink away to mere cupful, leaving
many square miles of surface uncover
ed, and then again fill up from below
and spread out over their former area.
Some of them have outlets in the ocean,
far from the shore, bursting up per
petual spring of fresh water in the very
midst of the briny saltness of the sea.

INGENUITY IN availing themselves of
the elacticity of the Franking Privilege
is not confined alone to patriotic mem
bers of the American Congress. The
Field Mail of the German army receives
no packages; but all letters weighing
less than 16 ounces are forwarded free
of charge. A pair of flannel drawers,
therefore, cannot be sent in letter, but
feminine ingenuity has hit upon a plan
of sending one leg at time! And as
for flannel shirts, the sleeves are sent in
one letter and the body of the shirt in
another. This dislocation of garments
is symbolical of the disruption of the
ties which bind two loving hearts; and
their ultimate reunion is suggested by
the putting together of the aforesaid
shirts and drawers on their arrival in
camp.

Rg@ WESTERN ENTERPRISE. About
i've years ago, the Northwestern Manufacture
ing Company, which is located on North JEFF
ferson street, between Lake and Randolph
streets. in Chicago, connected the manufacture
of wrought-iron steam and gas pipe to their
works, and, although they have had a very strong
eastern competition to contend against, they
have succeeded in building up a very large busi-
ness in this branch of industry. They have
run their pipe works the present season night
and day; are using daily over ten tons of iron,
and the superior quality of pipe produced
therefrom creates a demand for it not only ID
the north, west and southwest, but as far east
as Ohio and Pennsylvania fact that is high
lycreditable to the skill and energy of this
firm, which has nearly 400 hands employed in
Its various departments of industry.

Burning Of the Ship William II. S,orer, with


Cargo Of Tullow, Cotton, Grain, Rosin,


&c.-LOss Over One Hundred Thousand


Dollars.


Shortly after ten O'Clock last night the William F.
Storer Captain James Bryant, fully rugged ship Of
1,700 tons burden, owned by Messrs. G. H. Marshall
4 Co., of the Black Ball line, lying at pier 23 East
river and plying between this port and Liverpool,
was discovered to be on fire by the ships boy,
Edward Bickers, aged about thirteen. The boy first
discovered the fire in the afterpart Of the
vessel and Immediately gave the alarm. The
Metropolitan Fire Department and Insurance
Patrol were speedily on the ground and
rapidly organized for battle with the flaming
element. which was now giving evidences of It's
power in the huge volumes OF dense, black smoke,
mingled with lurid name, that were pouring from
she matches fore and art; but before long nearly
dozen lines of hose were pouring copious streams
of water into the hulla and preventing the further
spread OF the fames


The steamtug Thomas Fuller arrived at the scene
about twelve O'Clock, ana shortly mad four streams
In operation. her powerful force pumps pouring
savage tide OF water into the kissing caudron Of the
vessels hull. The Storer had been gradually
settling down from the first, and now was almost
level with the pier The fire is not yet eXtngushed
but the full extent Of the damage can be given.


She was loaded with 160 to 200 hOgsheads OF tai
low, stored in the upper portion Of the between
decks, where was also lot of rosn and molasses,
and pretty full cargo Of grain ii, bulk and some
cotton were stored below. The cargo will no doubt
be almost total loss and the damage
to the vessel great. 1t is believed that
the only insurance upon the vessel and the contents
was an insurance effected for the voyage only, that
it will not avail the owners In this Instance. She
was to have left for Liverpool In a few days.


When the Storer commenced settling her nasts
topped over towards the pier and 1t was feared for
some time that they would fall over, become en-
tangled lin the rigging Of the Isaac Webb and
thereby endanger that vessel This ia the same pier
at which the Hibernia was burned some three years
since.

Coop TIME AT FoRDHAM. racing at
Fordham shows well for the quality Of horse
flesh grown among us, and unanswerably in
dicates that we have the first great necessity
for the cultivation of this sport. Two heats
of the mile race were run in 1:47, which is
good time. The Derby-a mile and half
was won this year in 2:45, and this is not up
to the time of the Fordham mile in LAT. Of
course the addition of half mile to course
cannot in all cases be fairly calculated as
simply an addition of half the time of the
race that is only mile in length; but if it is
far from that there is want of bottom. The
Derby time would give 1:50 for single mile,
while the Fordham time would give for a
course the length of the Derby 2:4Oa, as
against Kingcraft's 2:45.

POLITICs A NECESSARY STUDY.
We find the following excellent
sentiments in the Morehouse Con-
,servative:


1t is true that all we have, and
all we expect to have, whether of
christianity or civilization, must
go hand in hand with and come
from our political surroundings.
It behooves every man then to be
earnest in politics. Show us an
Indifferent or neutral Christian
and we will show yon zukeav0rns
one. Show us an Indifferent or
neutral anything or anybody, and
we will show you a luteaU0rne de-
votee-a p0ssey', not an actor in
life. Thus lukewarm politician
is an indifferent patriot. The
earnest patriot cannot separate
politics from social life. The ac-
ton of the social upon the politi-
cal system, and the reaction Of
the political upon the social
system, are so intimately con-
nected that to have healthy ac-
tion, and bring forth good results,
one must operate on the economy
of the other like the heart and
brain on our physical organiza-
tion.
