THE WEEKLY OREGON STATESMAN
UOlelat rper of the t'nlted Slates.
SATURDAY, : NOVEMBER 13.1W3.
An rriTon "down east" discourses very
learnedly on 'Paralytic Apoplexy, de
nying that tt U caused by ell'u-lon nt
blood upon the brain, niul olalmin that It
Is electrical In Its efteet.s, like an 'varth
qunke." Tlila Introduces a new theory on
earthquakes which nnr Salem '-Pagans"
will do well to take Into consideration.
That feeble exponent of Gov. Wat-
kinds' claims lor a I. S. Senatorship, the
Mercury, is laboring to render Mr. Xes
roith and Go?. Curry as ridiculous as po -alble
thinking it will aid the proprietor.
When a Republican Is elected, as will cvr-
tainly be the result, that eoncvrn will col
lapse and "see Itself as ithcrs see it."
Jv!;k Huw-n. of Kola, Is a real
genius and never fails to amuse if be does
not control the action of a jury and the
sympathy of a court room audience. In a
recent law speech his comparison of an
African Prince with a Koman Emperor,
created quite a sensation and "brought
down the house." Judge 11 is pre
pared to receive a of Senatorial
lightning.
A verv small lX"ioeiiit!e sheet In
Eastern Oregon is greatly exercised over
the removal of a Republican from otlloe.
It creates a smile on the countenance ol
everybody who read it. The simple re
moval of any officer does not necessarily
depend upon "charges" and that column
of defense Is thrown away.
The contest fining on for Senatorial
- preference, between Gov. Watklnds and
Kx-Senator Xesmith is growing very
warm. Should a lVinocrat be elected at
all, it Is highly probable old Gov. Curry
wili step In and cany off the prize. But
the labor of each of the above named gen
tlemen and friend U certainly thrown
away, as a straight Republican Is a neces
sity to the best Interests of Oregon.
THE HETSTOSE STATE.
The official vote In Pennsylvania speaks
a large volume in favor of Republican in
telligence and honesty. The efforts of
spoil hunters to defeat Gov. Ilartranfi
were unceasing and yet were repudiated
by the people to the tune of about fifteen
thousand majority. The affairs of that
great State have been so carefully man
aged by Republicans that Democratic
place hunters will be called upon to wait
a long time for the endorsement they de
sire. itmiA oi
Is a prisoner for contempt of court, having
ivfused to obey Us mandates. If a poor
individual steak a loaf of bread to prevent
starvation, he is very promptly locked up
and then favored with a long lecture on
his perverseness, while a blacksmith is riv
eting shackles on him to remain during a
term in the '-chain gang;" but a Brlglmm
Young the head and front of the Mom -tain
Meadow massacre arrested for i
gruve offense, is "imprisoned In his own
house." and of course lives in his u-tta
princely style. Will such judicial wonder

Such errors of popular judgment will he
corrected in time but it seems a long tim
in bringing about a sensible conclusion on
this particular point.
MHI FZ O 1MLA1 IO.
Among nil the various classes who
clamor for a depreciated currency th
most foolish are those who work fot
wages.- And it is this class which in
cludes the greater proportion, in number,
of the much abued "creditor das," as
Mr. Schurz very clearly proved in his Las;
speech, in this way:
It has been calculated by good authority
that the wages constantly owing tor an
average of a half a month's services or
work amount in the whole conn try to
$120,000,000. And who is it that owns
the deposits in the savings banks, amount
ing to about f7n0,K).0Xi? Xot the rich,
but the laboring people and persons
ot small means, who put their sur
plus earnings there for safe keeping.
It is estimated that the same class has
in National and private banks and in
trust companies another $100,000,000, and
that nearly $130,000,000 is owing them in
other kinds of debts. There is. then, the
sum of about ?1, 200. 000, 000 owing to the
laboring people and men of small means,
constltutiirg their savings to that amount.
That class are creditors, and yon pretend
that for their benefit you will expand the
currency. Gold being at 15 per cent, pre
mium, those savings have a value of $1,
020.000.000 in gold. Expand the currencv
until gold is 30 per cent, premium, and
you have robbed these people of $130,000.
000. Expand it until the gold premium is
60 per cent., aud von have stripped them
of $420,000,000 of'hard-earned money.
TSifc ML1V AU RISE.
The Rev. Dr. Cujier, of Brooklyn, gives
the following history of the "Ninety and
Nine," the song which Mr. Sankcy sings
so often. It originally appeared in the
corner of an American newspaper, from
tlie pen ot Mis- E. C. Clephane. Whei
Mr. Sankcy wa among the Scottish High
lands he tried t And some hymns pccnli
ary suited to the pastoral tastes of hi
auditors. lie discovered these lines in tin
Rock, an English evangelical paper. Il
then adapted thetn to a wild, plaintive air.
and they soon sung themselves into tin
hearts not only of the rustic Highlander-,
but ol lords and ladies in fastidious Lon
don. THE NIKETT AND MXE.
Rejoice with me for I have found my sheo

"There were ninety end nine that safely lay
In the shelter of the fold.
Bnt one was out on the lulls away.
Far off from the gates of gold
Away on the mountains wild and bare,
Away from the tender shepherd's care."
"Lord, Thou hast here, Tby ninety and nine,
Are tbey not enough for Thee '
But the shepherd made answer, "Tin of mice
Has wandered nwnv from me;
And although the road lie rough and steep,
1 go to the desert to find my nheep."
But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters eronsed;
Nor h'"1" ri--k was the night the Lord passed

Oat in the desert He heard its cry
Sick and helpless, and ready to die.
"Lord, whence ate those blood drops Ell the

"They were shed for one who had gone astray
Ero the shepherd could bring him back."
' "Lord, whence are Thy bauds so rent and
torn ';"
"They are pierceii to-night by many a thorn."
But all through tl e mountains, thunder-riven,
And up from the rocky steep,
There rose a cry to the gate of heaven,
"Bejoice i I Lave found my sheep !"
And the angels echoed around the throne,

It has been discovered that a Chinaman
in Portland stole Mr. Lnttrell's speech,
thinking It was a part of the original
manuscripts from the hand of Confucius.
The document has been recovered and
will be forwarded In time for the next
speech to be delivered by that gentleman.
That Chinaman is certainly mean as dirt,
if not an Idiot.
The Republican victory In New York
kills Governor Tllden's prospects for the
next Democratic Presidential nomination.
That party think It Is better to dispose of
th.i old "hack" before, than after the con
vention. There Is a talr prospect of a
good sized row In the Democratic camp,
and Republicans can well afford to quietly
look on.
THE I TIOS
The Kansas election shows Immense
Republican gains. The newly elected
Legislature stands: Republican 79 Dem
ocrats (t, and 11 Reforms with six dis
tricts to hear Irom. "Radical rule," of
which Democrats croak so much, has not
disgusted tlie people ot that State very
much, as Is shown by these majorities. A
great State has Deen made out of
a "wilderness ot prairie," within the lim
its of Kansas, in a brief space of time,
and broad gauge ideas and policy of the
"party et Freedom." Let men who host
estly desire the advancement of our great
country consider the result of the decision
of that Intelligent people inhabiting the
fertile prairies of Kansas.
The Walla Walla Union says: In the
early portion of the week the ground was
too wet to plow in some localities, while
In others It was about right, But by the
middle of the week It had dried off suffi
ciently to allow plowing io be done almost
anywliere; so that now there are hundreds
of plows running dally, and tt is safe to
say that within the last waek the acres
plowed would reach Into the thousands. It
we have a few more weeks of this kind of
weather there will be a larger fall crop
sown, and with better prospects tor a good
yield, than has ever before been the case
In this Valley. Our people now begin to
see that by next season we will be much
better provided with means ot transporta
tion than ever before, and therefore have
the heart to put in large grain crops. It
the season proves favorable one 1870
will see this Valley send te market twice
as large a crop as ever before.
ROTTES HU M AT NKA.
. The old hulks of vessels which have
been over insured iu England and sent to
tea tor the purpose of being lost, have an
exact counterpart among American ships.
The "Pacific, which was lost last week.
Telonged to tliat class probably. Such
reckless disregard ot human life as is
ihown by that class of ship owners should
be severely punished and a profitable les
son taught. Hundreds of unseaworthy
vessels are sent afloat, freighted with un-'
suspecting passengers the passage money j
hMj lft ofzrham n the eo.lf rs Of tl:
proprietors. yTMa twlil be Mopped
t!t Government whose flag protects these
speculators in human life, as In most In
stances when the old "tubs' break to
pieces, no one is left to tell the tale or tes
tify against the murderers. It Is managed
with all the cunning of A. Ward's stage
driver, who, when he overturned a coaeh
and broke a limb of a passenger, immedi
ately knocked him In the head to prevent
a suit tor damages. The traveling public
is ntot supposed to know the precise cliar-
aetrr of the ship they embark in. onlv
from reports of Government inpectors
and that traveling public should be pro
tected.
PI BMC SCHOOL.
In company with Dr. Payton, I visited
during the week past, all tlie schools (sev
en in number) in this school district.
These seven schools employ at present
ten teachers. We found the schools well
attended, better than any previous year.
On entering the schools tiie first thing that
met my observation, was the fact that
while the number of pupils Is rapidly in
creasing in numbers, the school rooms re
main in statu quo. Hence our schools every
succeeding year become more and more
crowded. In Xorth Salem and South
Salem this evil has become almost unen
durable. I will say here that In these
two houses of similar construction, we
had the partition walls between the two
entries removed, making an elongated
room 6x30 feet, which served as a sort of
ventilator for the larger rooms. In these
pent np rooms are huddled together thirty
or more children except when driven out
by storms of wind and rain that some
times makes a clean sweep across them.
We however found Mr. Morris
happy and hopeful, and bis very
large school doing as well or
even better than could be expected under
tlie circumstances. Mr. Leckhart's school
is iu first rate condition, his pupils mak
ing rapid advancemect in their studies.
In short, East Salem Central and the pri
mary school are all of them kept in prime
order the latter is a perfect gem of "wee
hits o' things." I am happy and proud
to say that tlie public schools of Salem are
fast coming up to that honorable position
for which we most ardently pray and let
me add the significant expression of Pres-d'-nt
Grant, "They must and shall be prc
erved." P. Crandali.

STATE NEWS.
Two hunters killed ten deer in one day
recently, near La Grande.
The rainfall at Jocksonville, during the
past two weeks, was 7 inches.
A temporary wharf built at Port Or-
ford was broken down by heavy swells
which rolled in there last week.
I be mate of the schooner Parallel was
lost overboard as she crossed the Coos Bay
bar last week and was drowned. We did
not learn bis name.
A small bridge on the line of the Ore
gon and California stage road, near By
ner's, in Jackson county, was washed
away during the heavy rains of last week.
There is a little bit of a war in Coos
county about newspapers. The Kecord
was receutly moved from Marshfield to
Empire City and tlie war is made by the
Marslilielders on the llecord, and they
iiave raised $000 to start an opposition
paper in their town.
The La Graude Sentinel says: '"Some
ttme ago we noticed that the Grangers, in
council, had established the price ot grain
in this couutv, placing wheat at one cent
and oats at II4 cents per pound. At that
time we expressed our doubts as to the
ability of the organization to succeed iu
establishing these prices. We have given
the matter foine attention and are pleased
ti note the fact that our merchants and all
who are dealing iu grain haye adopted
the prices established by our Granger
friends."
OREUOX IIEAF MUTE M IIOOL,
In company with Col. Cooper e visited
the "Deaf Mute School," yesterday. The
building is not suited to such Stale Institu
tion, tor the reason that It U wanting In
room for the number of pupils now In at
tendance, to say nothing of tnany wl.o
would attend If accommodations were bet
ter. Rev. r. S. Knight Is principal of the
school and has everything lit good style.
The greatest degree of cleanliness Is ob
served and perfect order Is understood by
all pupils to be "Heaven's first law."
On, being ushered In, one of the first
Items of Interest which met our eye was
a notice which reads, "No talkintc !" Just
how that amusement could be Indulged" in
by tlie pupils ol that school, we could not
divine, but presumed that It was bned
on good reasons andlremalued "mnte,,'let-t
the notice was addressed to visitors.
Rev. Mr. Knight employs two teachers,
W. ,8. Smith teaches the advautwl
classes and Is a real genius In
the art of instructing those unfor
tunates who cannot heir or speak.
By single sign or signs which are wholly
unintelligible to the outside world hU
classes, with one accord, . moved to , the
blackboards about the room, and wrote
sentences on various subjects, in order to
wliow their proficiency In orthography and
In constructing sentences, -Many persons
who can both hear and speak would be
ashamed to compare their own acquire
ments with those of the attendants nt this
school. All who have been In the school
for one year or more can write very well
and several astonish the visitor with ti e
delicate precision with which sentences ate
framed, even extending to doubtful ques
tions In punctuation. Mr. Smith favored
us with several wonderful performance8,
among which we note, a demonstration
that sound Is conveyed lo the brain
through other channels than the ear.
Beating a drum In another room conveyed
10 a pupil the letters composing any word
given, although lie cannot hear any sound.
The concussion from the striking of the
drum seems to reach him Iu some way,
unaccountable. We saw several speci
mens of letters written by pupils to pa
rents and friends which would compare
favorably with the letters ot many bnsl
ess men in both penmanship and the
proper use of tlie "KIugs English." The
entire school rendered, in pantomime,
tlie Lord's prayaer lu a manner which
would surprise anyone who never wit
nessed It.
J. II. LaRue Is assistant teaclier and is
both active and efficient. Ills department
of the school shows evidence of rapid ad
vancement In learning on the part of pu
pils. Altogether tlie sclioel is a credit to
the tate and should be carefully fostered
by our Legislature and Board of Educa
tion, as it is calculated to make good and
useful citizens of what amounts otherwise
to a blank. Tlie school should be built up
and many Mutes never at school, be taken
iu for instruction.
Miss Anna Bullock, 11 years old; John
Wilcox, 9 years old, have been at tlie
school osdy one year and both write very
nice letters. The oi ler sdiolars who luve
been longer in the svhool are of ceursr
much further advanced ,: and compare
well with students in other scIhioIs
who have been more favored by Nature
or some directing power exereld in con
structing mankind.
Rev. Mr. Knight is certainly most ex
cellent man tor the place he omipie. The
school is cot. ducted to the satislaction cl
ni: ' rt and all Uor M.euk
in the highest terms of its in,tnagemttit
The State, a well as tiie pupil in tln
school, are very fortunate hi securing audi
talent as Mr.Knight possesses for that par
ticular mission.

BIPTIIKRIA.
Salem, Nov. 11, 1875
Editor Statesman: Owing to tlie fact that
diptberia is quite prevalent and several deaths
having resulted therefrom I thought it advisa
ble to give some general rales by tbe adoption
of which many cases could be prevented after
exposure. Procure the following and give
from half a teaspoonful to a desert spoonful
three or four times a day: Potassai chlorate,
oue drachm; tincture of iron, two drachms,
hyposulphite of soda, one drachm; quinine,
twenty grains; water, seven ounces.
. Dr. Davis, Professor of Theory and Praciice
in the Chicago Medical College, states that
many families who employed tbe above remedy
after being exposed bat two cases occurred with
slight sore throat. If the throat becomes swol
len bathe the outside wilh a liniment composed
of camphorated soap liniment, one ounce; tinc
ture of iodine, one drachm. If any application
is made to the swollen or inflamed tonsils tbe
remedies should be of a very mild and soothing
character.
Dr. Davis also states that all cauterizing or
irritating applications positively do irore harm
than Eood. In other words, throw your nitrate
of silv :r to the dogs. But when you are fully
jnvinced that yon have a case of aore throat to
conted with, call your physician at once, who.if
Well posted in the pathology and treatment of
this disease will have no difficulty in curing the
majority of cases. Very respectfully,
H. Cabpenteb.

outside again at 3 o'clock this morning
111 search ot the missing passengers and
crew of tlie City of Waco. '.She will cruise
along the west coast. Captain Sawyer,
agent ot the Mallory line, also started out
on board or one ol thgpilot boats in
search of the missing boats. The only
hopes tor the safety of the passengers and
crew are based upon the statement of Capt.
Scrvine, ot the steamer Buck Thorn, who
saw her foremast while out yesterday. He
reported the end ot a mast burned off ap
fiarautlv between decks or""tcry close be

burning some time, and given the officers.

It is thought by many that Ihe pa-sengers
and crew may have escaped 111 the dark
uess on board the ship's small boats before
the fire on board was seen from the steam
er San Marcos. In this event they would
have driltea wuu tne sea about thirty or
forty miles westward bet'Mtj the wind
changed to the northwest. Another state
ment which would appear) confirm the
location ol the fire: The Cit. ot Waco had
a small wooden case or house built around
the foremast, where matches, etc., were
stored ; this casing reached upon the mast
four feet above where the topmast was
grained; below it was only painted, while
the foremast was evidently burned oti
above deck. On tlie up- deck, forward,
large quantities of oil w4p stored, and as
soon as the flames reached this the entire
upper portion of tlie vessel was swept by
the flames. The officers!' the Sail Mar

day. Rev Clement M. Batter, I). II., of
this city, said we should abandon the Ir
reverent farce and desecration of perf'u.ie
tory reading of the Dihle in our public
schools. Thnusau Is of our citizens feel
this would tie ;he right thing to do, wIk
are yet unwilling to yield the point be-eau-
It would seem like a surrender to
KnmMi dictation. Like Falstaff, thev do

hut If it be our conviction, however it may
hive been reaefied, it will be true dleuitv
to act on It. No coml cause loses by ju-4
concession. Then and tlten only can we
place nnr public school system on an In

claims for Koman and other sectarian

At tiie evening session of the eonzres

George A. Wildes took common ground

inu-ical parts of the service ot the church
to quartet or weak choirs In the alierr.
and in rivor of (lie eoitfiregatinti pat taking;
in tlii part or the worship. Each of these
speakers was also severe on tlie prevailing
custom of having operatic musle. or adap
tations irom woriuiy compositions ramil
iar to opera goers, given as part of divine
service. Kev. Win. Urver Morrow, or
Katn!i, Pa., and J. Vaughau Lewis, vf
Washington, expressed views which.
while mA entirely opiwwed to thoe above
given, k ere diverse. Hev. Mr. Morrow,
thought that, instead ot affectinir to regard
choirs lightly, their members should be
considered as mitil-t rants in the service.
and be encouraged to so regard themselves.
i ms wouiu work an important chance in
church music. I r. Lewis took excention
to the wholesale abuse of choirs, together
with proscribing all but plain music, or
ecclesiastical music, as it had been termed,
and thought that greater distinction should
be made Wt ween sensuous and sensual
music in set-lections. Tlie former be re
garded highly etlective as in church ser
vice, aim to exctihie it would be to teach
church goers that they must leave their
physical natures at home when eoiiur to
divine service.

LOSS OF THE STEAMER PACIFIC.
As110ALFAHTI I LAKH.
STATEMENT Of JIKKUT V. JK1XKV.
My name 1 Henry Frederick Jelley. I
am a native of Ireland, but have lived lor
ihe In't nine years In the iJoniinloii of
I auada and am or the age or 22 years. I
took si bin pas-age on board tlie steamship
Pacific, of which -J. I. Howell was mas
ter, on the morning or Thursday, tiie 4tli
instant, fot a voyage to Hail Francisco,
California, and on the same morning at
a!out0:13 the steamer left the harbor of
Victoria, U. C.
There were about 200 people on board
more or less and we steamed all ihat day
against a head wind, blowing from the
southeast lresh.
lurlrig the day the crew were constant
ly pumping water into the boats to keep
the steamship on an even keel, first on
one side and then on the other and she
would list to either side alternately, as I
noticed the boats abaft the paddle-boxes
I mil no our In them on either 'side, but
the forward lioats had oars in them. I$e
tween if and 0 o'clock that evening, and
while I was in tin; cabin in bed, I heard a
crash and felt a shock as ir we had struck
a rock, or something of the kind, and
iieard something rail as If a lot of rocks
had broken into and fallen into her star
board bow and Itninidiately heard the
bell strike to stop her, then to back lier
and tlien strike to go ahead. I went on
deck and tliere heard voices forward say
"It Is all right: we have only struck a ves
sel," and looking around I saw several
lights some distance of! on our starboard
beam. I think there were three lights,
but I do not think they were colored lights,
but did not riay much attention to them.
I went back Into the cabin and
was about to turn In, wlien I noticed her
taking a heavy list to port and then
thought elie was going down and went
on deck. I Iieard some one say she
is making water very fast forward.
Went forward 'to tlie j.iiot house, and
there beard Uie purser ask tlie captain
what boat, he would take charge of ; did
not hear the answer. I a-ked the captain
if tliere were ro blue lights or a gun. He
told me 1 would find blue lights in tlie pi
lot house. The captain at that time was
coming out ot ins own room, and did not

man, whom I did not know, went into tlie
pilot boose, found six blue lights, and set
Bveofthem off; hist the other one. I
then noticed that tlie engines were still
working, but no one was at tlie wheel. I
tlien went on deck to tlie starboard side,
forward the paddle box, w lie re a number
of men were trying to get tlie long boat
out, but tliey could not do it. I then went
to see about the port boat forward, and
helped five or six ladies into it. and tried
to get tlie boat off, but we could not budge
tlie boat. There were about twenty ladies
in that boat. I there Iieard it said that the
two boats abaft the wheels had gotten off.
but did not see them. Tlie boat I was
near was partly mil or water and we could
not get her off at all. I think it was about
an hour from the time the steamer struck
up to tlie time she listed to port, so much
that the port boat was let into the water
and eut loose from tlie davits. I was in
tins boat. Wtncfi. wrien it tnncbeo the w.i-
ter, began to fill and turned over. I
I crawled upon tlie bottom of tlie boat and

and tiie steamship Pacific sunk. I think
about ail the ladies were iu our boa", and
when she upset tliey all fell Into tlie water
and I tear t!iey were drowned. This was
about 10 in the evening. The night was not
dark, nor was tlie sea very rough, but
there was a fresh breeze. I afterwards
left the liotlom of our boat, and with an
other man climbed on tlie top of the pilot
house which was floating around and we
held on to tlie upiier wire tliat came out
of tlie top. Next morning I got some
life preservers floating near tlie lionse and,
with their ropes, lashed mvself and my
comrade to tlie house. I saw three rafts.
The first one had one man on; tlie next
had three men and a woman and the oth
er 1 could not make out for the distance, ex
cept that there were human beings on it.
1 think we were thirty or forty miles
south or tlie Cae when the vessel mink.
we laiseii the light on iatoosh Island be
tween 4 and 5 o'clock on the evening ot
the 4'h. I and tnv comrade were on tlie
top of the pilot house ail ot the 5th, until

him loose. The sea was running very
high all day and 1 think my comrade was
drowned by tlie waves washing over him,
be not being strong enough to hold his
up and tlie waves constantly wash-
in2 over us- Son "fier he died I 'sighted
a vessel ami called, and also heard the
people on tlie otlier rafts calling, i did

mtle wind until morning, when it
came on to blow again., and the sea
became very rough. I was then
within a mile from tlie Vancouver
shore. I sighted two vessels on the Wash
ington shore, that passed on, and about 10
o'clock A. m. on the b'th, (Saturday) saw a
vessel bearing down on me. I was very
weak by that time, and waived my hat
and the vessel sent a boat and took me up.
The vessel's name. I learn, is tlie Messen
ger, and the captain, whose name is J. F.
Uilkcy, gave me every attention and kind
ness possible, and did everything in his
power to relieve my wants.

Sax Francisco, Xov. 8 The Pacific .
was a wooden side wheel steamer of about
W0 tons, bn'dt in 151 by W. II. Brown, of
New York. She was nearly rebuilt liere
by tlie Pacific Jlail Company two years
ago. She was decked and surveyed the
tiip before the last and given a certificate
"A 2." Her cargo was iKips and oat.,
worth about fi.j.00. Insurance on tlie
ship is $17,500, divided nearly equally
amongst Frernan's Fund, Union, State
Investment, Commercial, t.wiss Lloyds
and New Orleans Mutual Companies.
Captain Howell had the reputation ot
an efficient officer. The ship's complete
mcnt was as follows: Master, J Ij Howell:

kins, owners, and many sealaring men,
believe the ship met a lieavy southeaster,
which may be expected tliere at this sea
son, ihe Pacific was one ot the best sea
boats on the coast. It is believed that the
survivor picked np may be in 'error as to
the fate of other boats, as the steamer was
provided with extra large and safe life
boats.
ALI, MKTS Of HAIRS.
I suppose you youngsters tbii.L- tbii n
hairs are alike, except as to color, but
that is only because your eyes are not
very sharp. It your eyes were as sham
as a mieroscope, you could tell Irom tlie
tiniest slice ot a hair whether it grew on a
bov or on a quadruped. A human hair, I
am to.d, looks m that searching little iiv
-trntiicut like a hollow tube, quite trans
parent and marked with irregular lines
around it. On looking very closolv,
thcMS are seen to be the ends ot separate
surface coats, or bark of the hair. Think
of your hairs having bark! Inside the
thin, scaly covering is a fibrous substance
from the bulb where it begins to the
point. The color of the hairs is decided
by tlie color of the fluid that tills this
transparent tube. A cat's hair looks un
der this prying instrument like the
trunk of au old rough palm tree,
while a bat's hair resembles flowers of a
trumpet shape, stuck into each otiier to
form a chain. A bat Irom India has the
trumpet-shaped cups expanded very wide,
and notched on the edge. Hair Irom the
head of a bee is pointed and set Mich short
hairs, standing straight out from the stem;
and the hairs ot a catterppillar are like
stout, horuy rods, drawn to a point, ai d
set with spines on each side. This is vei j
queer, but there's another thing about iu
It the hairs of sheep, and other animals
whose hair is used in manufactures, had
not rough seajcjjjvhich clasp aud mat to-
thti' stt be made into lelt-
ikes broadcloth and
