fhe first of a sori-:i of experiments
with the much talko J of (Jotibot torpedo
boat ha taken placo in Cherbourg har
bor. There were two seamen upon the
boat, which was niudo to Hhik ut the ex
act spot fixed upon. Aftor some pre
liminary maneuvers t'10 boat stopped be
fore five ordinary torpedo boats placed
Mde by aide in the Commercial dock. It
then panned under thoia and rose to tlie
surface, Tho first submersion lasted
fast throe-quarters of an hour. The eeo-
end series of experiments took place in
the preeence of a largo nnd enthusiastic
crowd.' Five buoys wore floating in dif
ferent part" of the Commercial dock. A
Corrigan screw was then flung out from
the end of a raft, when the Goubot sank,
cutting the cable of the drift buoy and
engaging tlie screw.
Then, changing its direction, the
Goubet made for the other buoys and
nccomfully cut tho linos of each one.
After catting the second cable the two
mon composing the crew sent out from
tlie boat an empty egg containing a die
patch. Some of the cables were cut
while the Uoubet boat was making full
speed. Before rising to tho surface tho
crew placed a floating buoy weighing
two English hundredweight under the
raft Tho experiment concluded with
tho rising of tlie screw, which had boon
fixed in position by a bar of iron parallel
to its axis. The second experiment
lasted two hours. Public Opinion.

Charles Eddy is a dairyman, with a
farm which lie's partly in Swansea and
partly in Ruhuhoth. . In Swansea Mr.
Eddy has his residence and in Rohobotb
he built a barn. The latter structure
was erected in 18H8, and since thon Ito
bobotb has been trying to tax him for
his cows. Said cows are stabled in Ro
hobotb, but they roam over into Bwauseu
to grate and drink, Swan 40a also taxes
the cows, and Swansea gets the money.
Up to date Mr. Eddy has held that the
law provided that he must pay tuxes on

The monks and cures of France have
done as much for their country in the
preparation of savory delicacies as tho
most renowned chefs. It has been sug
gested that during the long session of
Lent these holy men have been in the
habit of relieving tlieirpriviitionsby em
ploying their ingenuity in tho iuvention
of pleasant foods mid drinks in readiness
for the return of the days of feasting.
Whether there is any foundation for this
Infereuce is not positively known, but
tho fact remains that the clergy, from
whatever cause, are capital inventors of
all sorts of comestibles.
One of the largest oyster parks in the

The rillotte of Tours are the work of

origin in their names, and the strangwt

should be the work of tho most severe

The elixir of Qarus is the iuvention of
tlie Abbe Garus. The Besiere sausages
were first preared under the direction
of the Prior Lamoureux. The popular
Bergon rnonx sauce was first mingled by
tlie Ablie Bergougnoux. The delicate
Floguard cakes are the invention of the
Abbe Floguard. Even the immortal
glory of the discovery of champagne is
attributed to a monk. To these may tie
added the innumerable delicacies in
bonlxma, confectionery and the like,
which owe their origin entirely to nuns

In view of the fact that the Honor
t rattle is assuming gigantic proportions
in Alaska Captain knowles, President,
and mamurerof the Pacitic Steam Whal
ing Company, has issued peremptory in
structions to all the company's I aptnins
not to call at Honolulu. Once leave port
whalers are to proceed direct on the
whaling cruise, and are to stop at no
point where a stock of Honor could lie
laid in. The steam whaling company
ha always been opKscd to the liquor
trntlie, and the management is deter
mined to do everything iu its oer to
stop it.
Several hundred railors ho have Im-cii
serving lately in the Arctic whaling fleet
are now out of employment at San Fran
cisco, and find it extremely dithcnlt to
get good berths. The I'nited Hates
naval rendetvous of that city has re
ceived a large number of applicants to
enlist from this class of men since the
whalers legan to return to jxirt a month
ago. Although they are skillful seamen,
the recruiting officer was ob:igd to re
ject almost all of the applicants on ac
count of the men not coming up to the
physical standard prescribed by the
Navy lH-partment. In many cases the
applicants, although vming men fr the
most part, seemed debilitated. The na
val surgeon on duty at the rendetvous
gives as a reason for this the meager ra
tions of the men during the whaling
season. Owing U the riid physical ex
amination an applicant for a place as
seaman iu the navy must undergo, lit
few men have been accepted in that city.

that the was doing very well in tliat line.
She had in etook adiccn outfits as cheap

Watching the bure backs, luuo shoulders,

that the colors of flesh ore more varied
and surprising than the 'colors of fruits.

Hut among
tlie brighter half breeds I think
the colors are much more fruit like; there
aro gourd tints, banana tints, orange col
ors, with occasionaljlhishos of pink show
log through, like tlie first pink of the
mango. Agreeable to the eye the darker
tints certainly ore. and often very re
markable, all tones of bronze lieing repre
sented; but the brighter hues ore abso
lutely beautiful in certain half breed
tyis'S, coolie and quadroon. Standing
perfectly miked at doorways, or playing
naked in the sun, astonishing children
may bo seen banana colored and mango
colored babies. But there isone peculiar
type, totally unlike all tlie rest; the skin
is an exquisite metallic y ellow, a perfect
gold tone; the eyes are long and black;
the intensely dark and lustrous hair falls
over the neck in o heavy mass of thick,
rich, glossy curls that show blue lights in
the sun.
1 cannot speak of this comely and ex
traordinary tve without translating a
passage from Dr. J. J. J. Cornilliac, nn
eminent Martinique physician, who re
cently published a most valuable series
upon the ethnology, climatology and his
tory of the Antilles. In these he writes:
"Yhen, among the populations of the
Antilles, we first notice those remark
able metis whose olive skins, elegant and
slender figures, fine straight profiles, and
regular features remind us of the mhab
tunts of Madras or Pomlicherry, we usk
ourselves in wonder while looking at
their lonz eves, full of a strange and
1 rrentle melancholy (especially among me

is a dominant characteristic that seems

variably reveals its presence in the blood
of every being through whoso veins it
flows."

ating facts, I can venture to say that the
muscular development of the working
men here is something which must lie
seen in order to lie believed; to study fine
displays of it, one should watch the blacks
and half-breeds working naked to the
waist on tlie landings, in the gas houses
and slaughter houses, or on the
nearest plantations. They are not
'argo men, ierhaps not extraordi

'aspect of sculptural or even of ana-

An interesting incident occurred at the
Smithsonian Institute recently. This
was the photographing of the costume
worn by Gen. Washington when lie re
signed his commission in the nrmy to tlie
Continental congress at Philadelphia.
Mr. John Noah, the son of a well known
newspaper correspondent of this city,
who is clerk of the Institution, was se
lected as the subject by whom tlieclothee
should be worn. Mr. Noah is a young
man, more than six feet in height and of
splendid physique. Gen. Washington's
uniform fitted him perfectly. A paint
ing of Washington, now in possession of
the Institute, shows him to have been not
uplike Mr. Noah in appearance at the
Ufter's ago.
The photograph, after Mr. Noah had
undergone a certain preliminary fixing
is 6aid to be nn excellent representation
of Washington at the age of 24. Wheo
this oxration had lieeu successfully con
cluded Mr. Noah was dressed in tlie uni
form iir which Gen. Jackson appeared at
the battle of New Orleans, nnd an equally
good representation wa3 secured. The
object of photographing the uuiforms
to preserve their appearance to future
generations after the mutcrial shall ha4
