ANAHEIM VOL. 7. Win and Wear. There is no royal road to greatness: Men must ever climb to fame; All the wealth in mlaers' coffers Would not buy a deathless name. Is a noble goal before you? Would you great achievements bear? On the way you should not falter— Brothers, you must "Win and Wear." Toll and labor, never stopping Till you make the prize your own; For you know 'tis constant dropping Wears away the hardest stone. Never slack sublime endeavor, Nor 'mid cheerless toll despair; If you'd rise above your fellows, Brothers, you must "Win and Wear." Tis the lesson Nature teaches All through her wide domain; And the text from which she preaches Is that "Labor leads to Gain." Moral worth and honest merit— Better crowns than monarchs bear— These you never can inherit— Brothers, you must "Win and Wear." A Friend in Need. In August, 1865, I signed the name of Bill Whitley to the shipping papers of the bark, Marcia, bound from San Francisco to the Sandwich Islands, and five days after we cleared for Honolulu. I had not been long on board before I picked up a chum in the person of Alfred Beal, an honest old tar as ever lived. We wore both in the same watch, and messed together. Alfred was a little inclined to drink, exceedingly fond of his grog, I might say, and as I was not, I gave my daily of beef on board. Starvation stared us in the face! Morning dawned, but nothing met the eye save the ocean, which stretched away on every side of us until it met the sky. As we began to feel the pangs of hunger, we searched the vessel throughout, but without finding a morsel of food. As the time passed, our hunger increased, and the men gazed at each other with haggard eyes. Our negro cook, Pomp, did not seem to suffer so much as the rest of us, and did all in his power to cheer us, and inspire us with hope of relief. Another day dawned and passed away, but still there came no relief. We had ceased to steer the vessel, and she lay rolling and yawing about in all directions. At length, our torture became so great as to be unbearable, and the thought that had larked in our hearts for the past two days found expression. One must be sacrificed to save the others! We agreed to draw lots, and the papers were marked and thrown into a hat—four blanks, and one on which was written only the word—Death! With trembling hand I proceeded to draw, when Alfred said: "Hold on a bit, there's a shark. Why not try and catch him? Sharks bite at anything." A heavy load was immediately lifted from every heart as the possibility of catching the shark occurred to us. We rigged a tackle, and baiting the hook with an old greasy pair of canvas pants, we cast it overboard; but the shark would not touch it. He kept alongside of us, and occasionally approached the bait, and as each time we saw him smelling around it, how our hearts beat. It was in vain we hoped, however; the monster refused to touch it.

In August, 1865, I signed the name of Bill Whitley to the shipping papers of the bark, Marcia, bound from San Francisco to the Sandwich Islands, and five days after we cleared for Honolulu. I had not been long on board before I picked up a chum in the person of Alfred Beal, an honest old tar as ever lived. We were both in the same watch, and messed together. Alfred was a little inclined to drink, exceedingly fond of his grog, I might say, and as I was not, I gave my daily allowance to him. When I first offered him my grog, he looked at me as if he doubted my sanity, remarking: "What! an old seaman refuse to drink his tood? Come, mate, drink it down, and the second will slip down easier. The first glass never tastes good. I'd sooner lose a meal than my grog." "No, Alfred," said I. "when I left home I promised my old mother I would never touch the stuff, and I mean to keep my word. Such promises should ever be kept sacred." At the mention of the word mother, I noticed something like a tear glistening in Alfred's eye, and he said: "Keep the promise, Bill, keep it. If I had promised my mother the same, I might have been master of a vessel now instead of here before the must." Here we parted, Alfred to mend his trawers, and I to work upon the mess chest, which had been broken. All was prosperous with us for two days, but on the third it showed signs of bad weather. Captain Hawes came on deck, and ordered the mate to shorten sail, as the barometer was falling rapidly. This was no sooner done than the wind began to blow fresher from the northeast, and as it increased we had to shorten sail again. Suddenly, a black cloud appeared on the horizon, and made its way rapidly towards us. The captain shouted, "All hands on deck. Shorten sail, and batten down the hatches." Nearer and nearer came the squall, leaving a wake that was frightful to behold. At last it struck us, and threw the Marcia on her beam ends. I sprang to the mainmast, and lashed myself to it, while the captain and most of the crew clung to the shrouds. The old vessel creaked and groaned, and the masts bent like reeds as the Marcia careened to the tempest. The sea rose higher, and the wind blew stronger every moment, until, at length, one fearful gust, tearing along with horrible fury, snapped the masts like pipe-stems, and away they went, carrying a portion of the crew with them, together with the captain and officers. Only nine men remained among them all. It was impossible to succor those who had been swept overboard, for the vessel, dismasted, lay helpless in the trough of the sea. Our hatches were torn off by the weight of water that poured over the decks, and we had all we could do to keep from being washed overboard. The gale continued with unabated fury all night, but when day broke it abated. Hold on a bit, there's a shark. Why not try and catch him? Sharks bite at anything. A heavy load was immediately lifted from every heart as the possibility of catching the shark occurred to us. We rigged a tackle, and baiting the hook with an old greasy pair of canvas pants, we cast it overboard; but the shark would not touch it. He kept alongside of us, and occasionally approached the bait, and as each time we saw him smiling around it, how our hearts beat. It was in vain we hoped; however; the monster refused to touch it. Sadly we proceeded to finish the drawing of lots; but we were interrupted by the negro cook, Pomp, who said: "Lookee heah; sharks am mighty fond ob niggers. Now dis yar chile will gib he leg below the knee for bait." The proposition was hailed with joy. The captain's surgical instruments were brought on deck, and I sawed Pomp's leg below the knee—for you must know that I had been a "doctor's boy" for several years before I took salt water, and during that time had assisted him in so many amputations that I was as good a surgeon as half of those that hang out a shingle. The brave fellow never flinched during the operation. While I was taking up the arteries, and attending to Pomp, Alfred was baiting the hook with the severed limb. The bait was lowered over the stern, and the shark immediately sprang for it. He was easily hooked and hoisted on board. His flesh lasted for two weeks. At the end of that time we spoke a ship bound from New York to San Francisco, the captain of which furnished us with two spars, sails, provisions, and a crew of four men. In due time we reached our destination, where we found that we had been given up for lost. It gratifies me exceedingly to say that Pomp survived the loss of his limb, and that the owners of the vessel, when they learned of his noble conduct, furnished him with both a competency and a cork leg. The four Portuguese, who stole the long-bone were never again heard of, and it is supposed they perished. Anti-Early Rising. Farmers generally do not rise as early as they did twenty years ago, and I think they ought not to. Some, however, retain the old habit, and are up at three or four o'clock, have breakfast at lamp-light, and then work commences. Now, I know well enough that if there are hired men, and if work pushes it is necessary to stir early, but on the whole, I think what is known as the habit of early rising is so much an error as to do more harm than good. I should say that for an ordinary household, where nobody but the family is in the house, breakfast at eight o'clock is soon enough for winter, and from six to seven o'clock for spring and summer. Would be a good plan, though; if there is one in the house who likes to rise early, to build the fires that the rooms may be warmed, though by having good stoves fires can be kept all night. I object to breakfast by lamplight because the children are made to get up when they would be much better off asleep. It is cruel to draw when Alfred said: "Hold on a bit, there's a shark. Why not try and catch him? Sharks bite at anything." A heavy load was immediately lifted from every heart as the possibility of catching the shark occurred to us. We rigged a tackle, and baiting the hook with an old greasy pair of canvas pants, we cast it overboard; but the shark would not touch it. He kept alongside of us, and occasionally approached the bait, and as each time we saw him smiling around it, how our hearts beat. It was in vain we hoped; however; the monster refused to touch it.

Now dis yar chile will gib he leg below the knee for bait." The proposition was hailed with joy. The captain's surgical instruments were brought on deck, and I sawed Pomp's leg below the knee—for you must know that I had been a "doctor's boy" for several years before I took salt water, and during that time had assisted him in so many amputations that I was as good a surgeon as half of those that hang out a shingle.

Only nine men remained among them all. It was impossible to succor those who had been swept overboard, for the vessel, dismasted, lay helpless in the trough of the sea. Our hatches were torn off by the weight of water that poured over the decks, and we had all we could do to keep from being washed overboard. The gale continued with unabated fury all night, but when day broke it abated. On looking over the vessel, we found to our grief that our ship-bread was about half gone, and what was left was soaked with salt-water. We crowded together on the poop to take counsel with one another. After some deliberation, I was elected as captain, with Alfred as mate. Captain of a dismantled and almost provisionless vessel. I immediately gave orders for the raising of a jury-sail, and hoisted a shirt on the stump of the mainmast, as a signal of distress. I had also a sharp lookout kept for any of our comrades who might be floating about on some remnant of the wreck, but alas! we saw nothing of them. As evening was approaching, I separated the men into watches. Among the men were four Portuguese, ill-looking fellows, to say the best of them, and besides they bore a grudge against me. They would have objected to my being placed in command; but they could not help themselves, as I was the only one left on board who could navigate the vessel. One of these—Pedro Gastean—I had accused of stealing from me a quantity of tobacco which I had bought. I knew that he was a thief, and although I did not report him to the captain, I threatened to do so, and saw that I had made him my enemy. After dark I retired to the cabin to snatch a little rest, leaving the Portuguese, with Alfred in command, on watch. During the night, the Portuguese seized Alfred, bound and gagged him, and taking the long-boat, they loaded her with all the provisions that remained on board and deserted us. At midnight I was aroused by the men, who on coming up to relieve the watch on deck, found Alfred gagged, and the Portuguese gone. Imagine our situation! In mid-ocean, on an almost totally wrecked vessel, and not a biscuit or a bit early, but, on the whole, I think what is known as the habit of early rising is so much an error as to do more harm than good. I should say that for an ordinary household, where nobody but the family is in the house, breakfast at eight o'clock is soon enough for winter, and from six to seven o'clock for spring and summer. It would be a good plan, though, if there is one in the house who likes to rise early, to build the fires that the rooms may be warmed, though by having good stoves fires can be kept all night. I object to breakfast by lamplight, because the children are made to get up when they would be much better off asleep. It is cruel to tear boys out of bed in the dark and cold, since they always go to bed tired, and growing, as they are, they need all the rest and recuperation they can get; and when they do arise, they ought not to be hurried out to the baro, probably in cold, damp boots, to fodder and take care of stock. It is much better for the man himself to go out and see the work is properly done, though the boys might go along, if they are warmed, and help and get fresh air before breakfast. I doubt whether anything is gained by feeding cattle before sunrise, and I am sure milking ought not to be done until the morning becomes a little cheerful. The amount of work which boys can do in the cold morning is not much, and it will seldom be done well. They are in a hurry to get back to the fire, and they ought not to be blamed, but it would be a good plan to have them help about breakfast, if their help is needed. The point I want to make is, boys are neither tough nor strong, nor have they got the use of their muscles, so that they can apply to advantage what strength they do possess. If school hours press, and they are to go, they ought not to have any time to spare. When night comes, everything should be made comfortable; have plenty of lamps, and have plenty of books and papers. Any intelligent father neglects his duty if he does not help the teacher, and vast help can be given by hearing the children read and making them read correctly, and in considering various subjects.

The following authentic anecdote in connection with the Drury Lane theatre, rebuilt by Holland, the architect, in 1794, and by him leased to Sheridan, will, we doubt not, be new to our readers: Holland could never obtain a settlement or even an interview on the subject with Sheridan. He hunted him for weeks and months at his own house, at the theatre, at his usual resorts; but he was nowhere to be seen. At last he tracked him to the stage door, rushed in spite of the opposition of the burly porter, and found the manager on the stage conversing with a party of gentlemen whom he had invited to show them the theatre. Sheridan saw Holland approaching, and knowing that escape was impossible, put a bold face on the matter. "Ah! my dear fellow," exclaimed he, "You are the very man I wanted to see—you have come most apropos. I am truly sorry you have had the trouble of calling on me so often, but now we are met, in a few minutes I shall be at liberty; we will then go into my room together and settle our affairs. But first you must decide an important question here. Some of those gentlemen tell me there are complaints, and loud ones, that the transmission of sound is defective in your beautiful theatre. That, in fact, the galleries cannot hear at all, and that is the reason why they have become so noisy of late." "Sound defective! not hear!" reiterated the astonished architect, turning pale, and almost staggering back; "why it's the most perfect building for sound that ever was erected! I'll stake my reputation on it, the complaint is almost groundless." So I say," retorted Sheridan: "but Apple Butter. A Pennsylvania farmer's wife says: There is a great difference in the quality of apple butter, even where it is the product of our best farmers' wives. Sometimes it is too acid, or too soft, or too light, or lumpy. These are the results of improper proportions of cider and apples, or that the apples were not sweet enough, or that the mass was not boiled and stirred enough. Apple butter is a wholesome and desirable relish on the supper table, or it can be made into most excellent tarts. The way I make my apple butter is as follows: If you have a barrel kettle, take thirty gallons of sweet cider, that just from the press is to be preferred; boil it down to one-third of the quantity, then add altogether about two bushels of pared, quartered, and cored sweet apples, about one-third at a time, judging as to the quantity of apples; then stir the whole mass constantly with a long handled wooden stirrer, reaching down to the bottom; this stirrer must be from four to five inches broad at the bottom, rounded a little to fit the bottom of the kettle, and have a dozen or more half-inch holes bored through it. The mass must be kept boiling and stirred until the whole is reduced to say one-half of the original quantity, or cider assumes a dark color, and is perfectly smooth and palatable. For this purpose samples should from time to time be taken out and tasted. When done it should be put in jars, well tied over with paper, and placed in a cool place. Otherwise it may "work" and lose a great deal of its value. Lamp Shades. As we have been tried and annoyed beyond endurance with paper shades for torches lamps and with porcelain shades. The Expense of Warfare. According to a little tract published recently by the London Peace Society the armaments of Europe in the present year are: It will be seen that the total strength of the regularly trained soldiers of Europe amounts to nearly 6,000,000; or having regard to the fact that the whole adult population of the nations of Europe, except Great Britain, is liable to be called to take arms, the total military force may be estimated at from 6,000,000 to 10,000,000. The lesser number equals the whole of the British islands. It has been pointed out that if only one-half of the present excessive armies of Europe were disbanded, at least 3,000,000 men of from 20 to 35 years of age would be restored to productive labor, and $500,000,000 of money saved from oppressive taxation. The tract before us contains a table enumerating the wars between 1853 and 1877, and the loss of life they occasioned. There were killed in battle or died of wounds and diseases, 750,000 men in the Crimean war, 45,000 in the Italian war of 1859, 3,000 in the war of Schleswig-Holstein, 800,000 in the American civil war, 45,000 in the Prussian war of 1866, 155,000 on the French side, and 60,000 on the German, in the Franco-German war of 1870-71, which with other and smaller affairs, brings the total slain to 1,948,000 during 25 years. These wars are not less costly in money than they are in lives, as the following figures will show: Crimson war... $1,700,000 Italian war of 1859... $300,000 Why you must decide on an important question here. Some of those gentlemen tell me there are complaints, and loud ones, that the transmission of sound is defective in your beautiful theatre. That, in fact, the galleries cannot hear at all, and that is the reason why they have become so noisy of late." "Sound defective! not hear!" reiterated the astonished architect, turning pale, and almost staggering back; "why it's the most perfect building for sound that ever was erected! I'll stake my reputation on it, the complaint is almost groundless." "So I say," retorted Sheridan; "but we'll bring the question to issue definitely, and then have a paragraph on it in the papers. Do you, Holland, go and place yourself at the back of the upper gallery, while I stand here on the stage and talk to you." "Certainly," said Holland; "with the greatest pleasure." A lantern was provided, with a trusty glide; and away went the architect through a labyrinth of dark and winding passages, almost a day's journey, until he reached his distant and elevated post. "Now, Mr. Holland," cried Sheridan, "are you there and ready?" "Yes," was the immediate answer. "Can you hear me?" "Perfectly—perfectly, Mr. Sheridan." "Then I wish you a very good morning!" So saying, Sheridan disappeared, and was two or three miles off before Holland could descend. Another long interval occurred ere he was able to chase the fugitive to his lair again. How Turkish Revenues are Obtained. In the course of a report on the trade and industry of the Turkish Empire, prepared by Eugene Schuyler, Consul-General at Constantinople, the following graphic description is given of one of the Turkish systems of obtaining revenue: "The taxes are the great obstacle to agricultural improvement in Turkey. Besides an impost of 4 per cent. per thousand on the value of real estate and 4 per cent. on its revenue, the titles are very onerous. Nominally they are 10 per cent., except when an additional half or quarter is imposed; in reality, they sometimes amount to 12 per cent., as they are usually collected by tite farmers, who greatly oppress the people. The peasant, after having reaped his crop, must leave it on the ground until the tite farmer comes and takes the large sheaf out of every ten. These sheaves the peasants must bring to the common thrashing floor at their own expense, and must then thrash them. In this way the carts and oxen and the thrashing floor of a village are sometimes occupied for all the good autumn weather, and then the peasants will be lucky if they be not compelled themselves to carry the grain of the tax farmer to market. In many cases the grain rots on the field before the tax farmer arrives. By law the title farmers and their guards must pay their own expenses, but this is rarely done. The party live for weeks at the cost of the peasants, demanding a receipt that they have paid in full before they estimate the harvest. The peasant submits in order to avoid greater bored through it. The mass must be kept boiling and stirred until the whole is reduced to say one-half of the original quantity, or cider assumes a dark color, and is perfectly smooth and palatable. For this purpose samples should from time to time be taken out and tasted. When done it should be put in jars, well tied over with paper, and placed in a cool place. Otherwise it may "work" and lose a great deal of its value. Lamp Shades. As we have been tried and annoyed beyond endurance with paper shades for kerosene lamps, and with porcelain shades, which are but little more satisfactory than paper, we ordered a shade made of tin, in form like the conical paper shades. A paper shade has always cost from twenty-five to thirty cents. A tin shade as large as a paper shade costs twenty-five cents. But we soon learned that the inner side of the tin shade required a coat of white paint, as the reflection of the bright tin gave an unsatisfactory light. As the light fell on the printed page, when one was reading, the surface would be so clouded in places and so bright in other spots that it was extremely difficult to read. But a coat of white paint proved to be a desired remedy for the difficulty. The outside of the shade was covered with shellac varnish. The shade of a lamp should be entirely opaque. Porcelain shades and paper are more or less translucent, as they will allow the light to pass through them to one's eyes. The eyes should be kept from the rays of the light as far as may be practicable. The light ought to shade on the object to be seen, and not on the object and in the eyes also. If a lamp can be entirely surrounded by an opaque shade, except a small opening through which the light can shine on the printed page, the eyes would be required to make far less effort to see than if the shade were translucent. Let it be borne in mind that the eyes will see far better if no light is allowed to shine in them or in the face. N.Y.Times. COOKING AS AN ART.—Western and Southern women are deplorably deficient in the art of cookery. Hospitality demands the entertaining of friends at the social board; yet it is almost impossible to do so in this country in an acceptable manner, unless the hostess herself not only has a proper idea of the serving of a table, but of the art of cooking the dishes as well. In some of the larger cities, satisfactory dinners and trained waiters may be provided at an enormous cost at the famous restaurants, where the meal may appear home-like and elegant. But fortunate is the woman, generally, who wants to do "the correct thing," and wishing to entertain at dinner, relies upon the sense, good taste and management of a restaurant. She is sure of but one thing—an enormous bill. Is there a remedy for this? Yes. This is a free country, yet Dame Fashion is the queen.Make it the fashion, then, that the art and science of cookery shall be classed among the necessary accomplishments of every well-educated lady. This is a manifest duty on the part of ladies of influence and position, even if the object be only for the benefit of the country at large. This calculation excludes the allied expedition against China, the Indian mutiny, and the Abyssinian and Ashantee campaigns. These items may be included in the general expenditure of Great Britian upon war debt, and warlike preparations since 1851, which amounts to the large sum of $6,528,163,-995. It is estimated that the enormous sum given in the foregoing table would, if divided, allow about $10 for every man, woman and child in the habitable globe. It would make two railways round the world at the rate of $250,000 a mile. It would provide a freehold farm of 100 acres in this country to each of the 50,000,000 adult males in Europe. Astronomy in China. The range of popular amusements in China is so restricted that the dramatic critics and art writers stay up all night whenever there is an eclipse of the moon, and describe it for the weekly papers with many an adjective and exclamation point. The last entertainment of this kind seems to have been a very creditable performance, if one may judge from the glowing account published in the Celestial Empire: "It was one of those peerless moonlight nights (Feb. 28) when the entire landscape seemed bathed in a flood of silver, and the waters of Huang-pu shimmered gloriously in rays undimmed by the faintest fleck of cloud. The sky was cloudless, and so bright that only the largest stars were visible. The moon entered the penumbra or partial shadow at 39 minutes after midnight; and as she became immersed in the shadow the light became lessened, and by time she was half immersed the eclipsed portion appeared of a red color, except at the edge of the shadow, where it was of a greenish hue. The stars now began to appear, and when the whole moon was in the shadow the heavens were as profusely spangled as on a clear moonless night. For an hour and a half the entire orb was obscured, and the faintest suapicion of brilliancy was all that was left, encircling now hidden satallite like a fringe of fairy light. The effect on the landscape was most peculiar; the light was there, but robbed of its intensity; everything looked strange, and just as though the moon had fainted. At the moment the total phase began a small star was seen on the edge of the moon shining as bright as ever, apparently in contact with the dark body; a star which having every sea was emptily pany to these ants and with cows He went to from amore most expert took to forma ther Francisco days were lions,the water tightening awakened far enough thrower to animals was needed in most captions While two a lasso ovlion he gien men nam embankment killed.

In this way the carts and oxen and the thrashing floor of a village are sometimes occupied for all the good autumn weather, and then the peasants will be lucky if they be not compelled themselves to carry the grain of the tax farmer to market. In many cases the grain rots on the field before the tax farmer arrives. By law the title farmers and their guards must pay their own expenses, but this is rarely done. The party live for weeks at the cost of the peasants, demanding a receipt that they have paid in full before they estimate the harvest. The peasant submits in order to avoid greater loss. Add to this the taxes on cattle, the oppressive land law, the bad roads, and the difficulties thrown in the way of introducing machines, and it is easy to understand the standstill of agriculture here." In the same report appears a statement of the trade of Constantinople with this country for the year ended June 30, 1876. The articles imported were: Rifles, $1,515,888; ammunition, $922,020; carbines, $26,136; petroleum, $187,571; all other goods, $3,811; total, $2,655,426. This was an increase of $940,637 as compared with the preceding year. The principal items of the exports to the United States were opium, about $52.000; otter of roses, $43,000; rags, $21,000; rugs, $6,000; and miscellaneous bazaar articles, $17,000. THE HUMAN FACE—The countenance of every nation defines the characteristics of its people. Every human face indicates a moral training as well as the temperament and ruling traits of its owner, just as much as every human form indicates the quality and amount of its physical exercise. This is proven by the variety of human faces everywhere visible. Those whose lives have been given to physical labor, unbrightened by an education of ideas, have always a stolid, stupid expression, even while their limbs and muscles are splendidly developed. The more savage the people, the uglier they are in facial development. The very features of their faces are disfigured by violent and ungoverned passions. People whose employments are intellectual have invariably a large, clear gaze, a bright, outraying expression, as if from an inward light shining through a vase. Where a fine organization and a deep sensitivity accompany the practice of intellectual pursuits, often the features take on a transparent, luminous look. TO BROIL BEEFSTEAK—To broil beefsteak so that it shall retain all the blood, have your rods hot; rub them with a little piece of fat cut from the steak. Be sure the drafts of your stove are open and the fire burning clear and bright; then put on the steak and turn every three seconds. Do not leave it, but keep turning for twenty minutes. Broiling it in this way will take five minutes longer than to stand and cook, but you will be more than repaid for the trouble by the truly delicious meat you will have. Let the platter be warm on which you intend placing it, and put a piece of butter on the dish; put the salt and pepper on it and rub all together. When the steak is cooked, place it in this butter and turn it over once or twice. Send to the table at once. PRESERVED STRAWBERRIES—Weigh the fruit, wash, if necessary, and place in a preserving kettle, in alternate layers, a pound of fruit and then a pound of sugar. Put on a slow fire until the sugar melts, then boil quite rapidly for thirty minutes. Remove the fruit with a perforated skimmer, and fill small cans to within an inch and a-half of the top. Boil and skim the juice a few minutes longer, fill the jars and seal while hot. SUGAR BISCUITS—One pound of flour, one pound of powdered sugar, a few almonds blanched and pounded, mixed with six spoonfuls of rosewater, and the yolks and whites of eight eggs that have been beat a full hour; when well mixed put in small tins of various fashions, bake only with the heat of an oven after the bread is drawn; stop the oven very close. A MARINE RELIIC—Last week workmen engaged in digging a cellar for a warehouse on Charles street, Baltimore (now the centre of business in that city), struck a mass of timber very much decayed, which appeared to be one side of the hull of a small-sized sail vessel. The place where the warehouse excavation is now in progress is all made ground, and previous to the year 1800 was covered by deep water. Sergeant Hause has in his possession a curious and minute map of Baltimore town and harbor, executed in 1752, upon which is marked a spot where the sloop Dove went down, being the first wreck which ever occurred in the waters of the Patapsco. By close calculation and measurement the Sergeant has discovered that the place where the excavation is now being made on South Charles street is the exact locality marked on his map as the scene of the sinking sloop. It would thus appear that the old hulk which the men are digging up is the wreck of the sloop Dove, now uncarthed and discovered for the first time, after being buried one hundred and twenty-five years. HOW TO OBEY—In a panic in a public school caused by the cry of fire, one little girl sat perfectly still. On being asked why she did so, she said, "My father is a fireman, and told me if the school should be afire I would be far safer to sit in my place until the rush was over, and then get out quietly." She knew how to obey. Zealously keep down little expenses and you will not incur large ones. GAZETTE. NO. 45. Warfare.

Among the arrivals from the West yesterday were sixteen sea lions, under the care of Captain Mullett, the general trapping agent of the New York and Coney Island Aquariums. They were all in excellent condition, although somewhat noisy, and while being transshipped to the wagons which were to convey them from the Hudson River Railroad freight depot to their different destinations, they were the observed of many observers, chiefly boys. The sea lions, among them a female and her young cub, "a very amoozing cuas," occupied cages in a special car which left San Francisco ten days ago. For the use of this proprietors of the Aquarium pay $1,600, exclusive of the regular freight tariff, which is several hundred dollars. Two of the sea lions are to be forwarded to the Brighton Aquarium, England; two go to the Paris Acclimatization Society; two go to Amsterdam, and two to the aquarium at Berlin. The others, including the cub and its dam, will be divided between the New York Aquarium and that recently established at Coney Island. Capt. Mullett enjoys the distinction of having superintended the capture of every sea lion exhibited in the world. He was employed by the Aquarium Company to provide a certain number of these animals for their establishment, and with carte blanche as to expenditures. He went to California, where he selected from among the rancheros fifteen of the most expert lariat throwers, whom he took to the Pacific coast of Lower California, the expedition starting from San Francisco on the 31st of March. Several days were spent in watching for the sea lions, the men spending their nights on the rocks. When a drove was sighted, their rendezvous was watched till the animals were asleep. At daybreak the Lady Byron and Lord Byron. In a notice of Barry Cornwall's Autobiographical Fragment and Biographical Notes," the Contemporary Review remarks: Of Lord Byron it cannot be said that we really know anything new. We certainly do not know the truth of the story which Mrs. Stowe has told us she received from Lady Byron, and the general verdict has gone against it. Of course the general verdict is not conclusive, and an impartial self-suspicious critic of the evidence from the probabilities of the case might perhaps have to affirm that the arguments pro and con were about equally balanced. As to the story, considered as Lady Byron's, we may say—in the face of the fact that proof of its truth may yet be produced—we may say that it does not look very probable. Lady Byron was a woman who won much love and esteem, and she had considerable ability; but she was "sentimental," and credulous in just the way which arouses a somewhat contemptuous spirit of cross-examination. She is the sort of witness whose evidence, taken by itself, is never worth much. She certainly did a wrong thing in telling that story against a dead man, without accompanying it with unanswerable proof; and whether it is Lady Byron or Mrs. Stowe that speaks, we do not, in such a case, care for such fine words as "an hour of revelation came," or "a child of sin with abnormal tendencies to evil," or for any of the commonplace of the sentimental philosophical school, with its accommodated Christianity, its incessant spiritual ballooning, and its enormous show of "great truths," which on the slightest pressure from without are explained away. We want facts, and Mr. Gradgrind is more to our taste for the moment than the kindest and most plains and philanthropic enthusiasts. China.

A vast majority of marriages in France are marriages of interest—that is to say, commercial bargains. This is true, not only of the idle class, but of the working classes; it is true throughout. Does a good salesman wish to set up in business on his own account, he looks for a wife whose dowry will be his working capital. Does a landowner think of improving his estate, he takes a wife who will enable him to drain, or whose acres will dovetail into his own. A lawyer marries in order that his father-in-law may push him in politics or help him on the Bench. An architect marries because his wife's first cousin will get him employment in the city works. A man of fashion marries because his recent losses on the turf would otherwise oblige him to retrench his little comforts. It is a barter, nothing else; so much professional prospects against so much ready cash; a rich old maiden aunt against a seat in council; a coat-of-arms against three men-servants in livery. The mutual claims are weighed, compared, discussed by the two notaries in the study, while the suitor in his dress-coat and cream-colored gloves is paying respectful attention to the young lady in the parlor. Neither party is the other's dupe; the gentleman, when talking to his friends about his matrimonial prospects, will always mention the "solid" advantages first; and the lady, on the other hand, can tell to a centime what hands will be and has often dishing superintended in the capture of every sea lion exhibited in the world. He was employed by the Aquarium Company to provide a certain number of these animals for their establishment, and with carte blanche as to expenditures. He went to California, where he selected from among the rancheros fifteen of the most expert lariat throwers, whom he took to the Pacific coast of Lower California, the expedition starting from San Francisco on the 31st of March. Several days were spent in watching for the sea lions, the men spending their nights on the rocks. When a drove was sighted, their rendezvous was watched till the animals were asleep. At daybreak the hunters crept noiselessly to the edge of the water, and a lion was lassoed. The tightening of the cord around his neck awakened the lion, and he sprang forward far enough to enable another lariat thrower to cast the loop of his lasso over the animal's flippers. Still another man was needed to secure the lion's tail, and in most cases the capture of the beast required the earnest efforts of fifteen men. While two of the Mexicans were placing a lasso over the tail of a very fierce male lion he gave it a jerk, and one of the men, named Lopez, was hurled over the embankment to the rocks below, and was killed. The other men refused to go near the lion, and the Captain was compelled to attempt lassoing the tail himself. While doing this the sea lion turned and hit the Captain on the shoulder, crushing the bone. When a lion was securely bound, he was lifted into a cage, which was placed in the water. This, in turn, was towed to the vessel in waiting and taken aboard. When the requisite number of lions had been captured the ship sailed to San Francisco, and the animals were transferred to nine special cars. N.Y.Sun. The Raleigh (N.C.) Observer tells the following affecting story: Benbury Floyd, of Chowan County, aged about sixty years, was convicted of a trivial larceny in 1873, and sentenced to four years' imprisonment. He had been a good soldier, and lost a leg in the Confederate service, and was said by his neighbors to have been a kind-hearted and obliging man. He had no wife, chick or child in the world, except a little blind daughter, about fifteen years old, who was in the blind syllum. Last week, Superintendent Gudger came to Gov.Vance and told him the condition of this little girl, and that, having been in the asylum the full term which the law permitted, she should have to be discharged, and he did not know what to do with her, as she had no home or friend to go to except this poor felon father. The Last week working a cellar for a street, Baltimore business in that city, timber very much needed to be one small-sized sailor where the ware now in progress and previous to the need by deep water.

On being so, she said, "My hand told me if the fire I would be far place until the rush can get out quietly." Down little expenses our large ones. An English gentleman, occupying a room at a hotel, went to bed without locking the door, although he had left on his dressing-table a costly watch, a diamond ring and other jewelry; and during the night thieves broke in and stole; whereupon he brought suit against the landlord. The defense was (1) a contributory negligence—the plaintiff ought to have locked the door; and (2) limitation of liability—a notice posted in the vestibule restricted the landlord's liability to $150. The Lord Chief Baron early in May overruled both pleas, and ordered a verdict for the whole amount of the stolen goods. He decided that it would be mischievous to hold that a guest of a hotel is under any obligation to lock the door of his room. The omission of a single word in the printed notice vitiated the second plea. A promise attended to is a debt settled. The Return of the Slipper—We hall with pleasure the advent of the ladies' slipper. It has long been in retirement. It adds a new attraction to the street. The French bottine may now take a rest. Nearly a generation has passed whose only street view of the feminine ankle has been through leather. At last the stocking of our grandmothers is revealed. The clean white hose is a power in the land. Its influence is anden, mysterious, subtle and magnetic. It concentrates all eyes as to a focus on itself. It amuses and interests the lounger. It affords to the hurried man of business a momentary respite. It redoubles the liabilities of the careless to be run over. It is not without a charm for the aged breast. No portion of a lady's apparel is more effective. The showy article, if at all symmetrical, half compensates for a plain face. It is a make-weight in the dower of feminine beauty of which women for long years have been robbed. For the boot is expensive. A little worn, and it becomes mishappen and ugly. We welcome the slipper. Long may it reign. The simpler the style the better?
