lie know each of thom a Hhakoapcaro

' the heart outward, and not .from tho

hi behavior in prcaouco of tho domesti
cated animals. The ugliest, filthiest,
stupidest, most unrooHonablo, most ob

it small fijrc wonld glisten with a
vaguo intelligence, it wonld remain al

" lieauly," wty tho poet, " it it own

yond thi tolerant maxim to tho extent
of affirming that Deformity ha iU own

cation of iU existence ; and after con
venting with it, and penetrating to it
iuteiior nature, ho treated it a Shake

from Adam. A there wa no form of
human existence which was too low to

animal existence which wa too low to

tbo most ovi'l member of tho animal

A Strange Skeleton.
A moat remarkable discovery was
made recently near tho lifo-saviug
station on Plum Island. There
ha been au olovation of sand, form
erly known a "llrotbora' lleaoh,"
a hundred and fifty feet long and tifty
feet liigb, ono ot tho largest Handbills
on tho island. Latterly tho wind ha
blown it away, no that tbo sand duno
has lowered to a height oL but a fow
feet. For many yoar it wo u mark
for tho liHbormou aud coaster, but is
now Roaroely discernible from a abort
dintauoo at ea. Especially during tho
past winter, Captain Collin, of tbo lifo
naving station, says, havo thoro been
great ehaugo from thufreqnott vlolout
winds, A short time ago nonio
gentleman observed prohiuliug from
tho Hand which romalued of tho vanished
hill it largo bono, and curiosity was ex
11 1 1 ml to disonvur what it wa. Tools
wero proourod, and on digging tkoir
labor woro rewarded by tho discovery
of a immt extraordinary hkoletou. Tho
nknll wa between two aud three feet
wide, and they uuoovorod a lougtb of
backbone of ovor seven feet. It waa not
a fish, they woro certain, Hiueoajoiut
of leg bono, as they describe it, ovor
eighteou iuche long nud butweeu four
and live inches iu diameter, wn dis

leg bono aa of enormous nolidity when
It uulonged to too animal uurioa mere.
From tho condition ot tho bouo they

J'.iiglatid and Africa.
Tho project for an African overland
tclograpb, which U now lieingdis
oussod, is a matter of great interest not
only to tho commercial and political
world, but especially to (J rest liritoin
and tho United BtaUM, tho two moat
important nations on tho globe. The
Urltlsh government ha examined, by a
commission, threo proposed routes,
which tho commission denominate the
" went central," tho " oast central," aud
tho " coast" line. Tho " cast central"
appears, thus far, to bo tbo favorite lino.
Tho route which it take is significant
in view of tho fact that tho enterprise
is really in tho hand of Iho Eugliih
government. Tho roulo lies through
magnificently productive country of
which that nation virtually has control.
It runs from Alexandria up tho Kilo as
far as Lako Victoria, a distanced near
ly two thousand miles. On tho north
west oorncr of thi Uko Mtcsa baa hi
kingdom. The Egyptian government
propose lo build and protect it thus
far. Thonco it goes almost directly
south, through tho lako Tanganyika
and lako Nyaasi country to the Zambesi
river, whore it may turn east and go to
Mozambique, or continno directly
soulh lo I'ort Natal. la either case it
will iiro to liritiah merchants direct
communication with tho richest portion
01 luo Airictn continent, n win pass
through Egypt. Nnbia, Henna,
Unyamneza and Zahgacbar. This U
tho regular traveled route from the
Zulu country north, If Lngland ob
tain possession a luo z.oias buo win
have an uninterrupted route from tho
Kod Bca lu tbo Capo of Good Hopo.
Hho already baa oonnectlon from Egypt
and from tho East Iodic to tbo borne
country. Hor bucco Id tho nlu war
will givo hor a perfect circuit of com
munication through Europo, Africa and
Asia.
Tho great wealth of Uio oast coast of
Africa is not generally known. ItU
still a lerra incognita to moot people,
except to llioso who have a commorcUl
interest in it. Tho principal Utc
through which thi telegraph lino will
pass aro Zanguobar and Mozambiquo.
Zsnguobar is rich in dates, sugar,
spices, aromatic gums, ivory and gold.
It also raise, in abundance, rice, plau
Uin, cocoanuU and caoutchouc. IU
imporU are nearly all lirillsh. Mozam
biqno export mahogany, ebony and
other fino woods, bippopotamu ivory,
washed gold, etc. England already has
control of this trade, and through her
tho United States is receiving great
boneflU from it. Sho i really tho con
trolling power all alone; tbo cast coast ;
for tbo 1'ortuguoso, Ike only European
people who havo any foothold there, aro
very weak. She abw ecjatesUttw ni
of tbo western coast ; and aba owes
Australia.
With tho nubjugation of tho Znlus,
tho liritiah em oire will havo established
an unbroken lino of trade wbiob will
ultimately givo ber the possession or
tbo whole African continent. That con
a nest is moro a matter of money than
of glory. When she achievs it, she
will dicUto tho commorco of tho world.
But sho will havo to share it with tho
English-speaking people ol America.

Flockiug to the Cities.
Tho Oovornor ot Connecticut, in a
recent address to tho how Haven Hoard
ot Trado. denlored and deprecated in
tho course of bis remark tbo habit into
which young men bad fallen of late
years, of leaving their home in tbo
country and flocking totbe larger
town and cities, as if there waa nomo
mogio within tho limit of such places
to suddenly change their mitmoa and
offer them almost anything lu lifo
which might chance to excite their de
sire. It i an error from which New
EugUud is at tho present timo undeni
ably suffering severely. It is not possi
ble thus to strip tho farms of tbo prom
ise whiob is to bo found in youth alono,
and expect that an agricultural popula
tion ol a nigli autnuaru win ue perpetu
ated. Bosido all that, lit tie do theso
volnnUry refugees from home droam
ot tho harder lot which they will havo
to oncounter than they ever need fear if
thoy remained at homo. On Hit soil
iudustrv is alwavs assured at least ot a
refuge, it not ot a home ot comiort
and plenty, 'rossoti on we worm, u ib
not suro of what a day may brisg forth
tor it.
Young meu with a stock of health
and hope novor would think of aban
doning all the uasociatioua of early life,
parents and all, if thoy oould bo made
to realieo tho hardships and aacriUees,
not to speak of the perilous aud destroy
ing tempUtious, which lio beforo tham
iu an attempt to make their way alono
iu tho world. While labor i tbo oou
dition ot Bticcess iu tho country equally
with tho city, it bring homo to tho
heart ot tho laborer it daily consola
tions and rewards. There is every
thing for tho individual to enjoy on tho
farm, af tor be has oneo fairly conquered
tho right to eujoy. Aud a man ot otiarao

Underground Telegraphy.
We recently referred in this colnmn
to tho progress of underground teleg
raphy in Germany. A Philadelphia
invontor U to lay a line of underground
telegraph from Washington to Now
York. A decarbonized steel wire is in
serted in a glass tube fourteen feet long,
three-eighth of an inch in external
diameter and one-eighth of au inch
bore. Then the glass tube U inserted
into a specially prepared pipe of iron,
which t placed in a heating furnace,
heated to a white heat, aad gassed
threajh a set ef xelR sa&isg aeJM
mass ot nine, class and coating. It is
claimed that the wire being perfectly
insulatod from end to end, and pro
tected from all outside influence by its
class coat, it is capaulo of working lo a
higher capacity and with less resistance
thau any ottier Known system, io con
nect the wires a trench is dug ot any
depth desired, and a battery attached to
mo lira i piece oi pipe jaiuiu iuu ireucu.
To the other end or the pipe is placed
a galvanometer. Tho wire is connected
by the ordinary telegraph tie. painted
with coal Ur and burned. A sleeve
somewhat longer than the pipe, of bell
shape, is drawn over each joint whore
connections aro made. A break can be
detected, by cs instrument that meas'
ures resisUney, within three feeU The
first cost of tbo whole line is about
equal to a pole lino, bnt the underground
wire permiU tho use of the duplex and

American Traveller.
Knew His Duty.
Owners of ships (especially when
they are mere landsmen) are as unwise
to interfere with the sailtng-crdors of
their skilled seamen as the President
would be to interfere with the command
of one of hi generals ou a battle-field.
Howovor, it is not every officer placed
iu such embarrassment who know how
to put the case so skilfully as did tho
captain oi ine steamer uctnwonireuua,
as told by tho Now York correspondent
of tho Boston Journal:
I was on board a Bound steamboat
in a snow storm one night beforo
Thanksgiving. The president of tho
company, tlio treasurer, and two direct
ors were on board. All at once thoro
was a rattling ot the chains, and it was
evidont tho anchor was down. The of-
tloisla rushed up to the capUin'a oftioo
nud oxclaimetl,
' What does thU mean, CapL Wil
liams?" " It means that I have anchored tho
boat."
But to-morrow is Thanksgiving.
Wo must got homo anyhow. Tho old
Commonvtilth ha weathered worse
galea this,"
Tho Captain sat down at tho table and
wrote a positive ordor from tho presi
dent, treasurer aud directors, to raiso
the anchor and proceed against his own
judgment.
"Sign that order, gentlemen, and I
will proceed."
Qf oouroo not ono ot them would
sign it.
' That's the way it i," said Williams.
" Not a man of vou would Uko tho re
sponsibility. You want me to violate
my own judgment, and it anything
happened, you will turnou me aud sty,
' You aro a sailor aud we are not "
Aud the old boat did not budge until
morning. Youth' Companion.

Shetland Women.
Feat fake tho ptaco of wood, and in
every ioor nan's hut in Shetland it
will be fonnd burning brightly and
giving out a thin blue smoke. To pro
pare peat for tho market, a great deal
of labor is performed. First coma tho
digger men, women and children.,
Entering upon tho deep, miry bog,
they cnt tho soil np into cakes a foot
long and a fow incht thick and these
they place in high place to dry. After
a few weeks they come again and carry
tbo cared fnel away to the town. It is
whilo carrying these load that tbo
BhetUnder present a peculiar specU
do. The men are often very old, in
firm and poorly clothed ; nd the worn
on are dressed in short-skirted, home
spun gowns, beyond which may be
seen yory red and very broad feet. On
their heads they nsnally havo white
caps, nicely ironed, with a Anted rnftle
around the edgo. Parsing acroea tho
breast aud over either sbonldcr aro two
long straps, and theso support an im
mense basket banging against the back.
Thus equipped, the brave stout women.
tbeir u&skct piled witu peat, tramp oil
to Lerwick, two mile away, to sell their
loads lor a few pennies each. Tbey
make many trips a day, always smiling,
chatting, and apparently contented.
Often a loner line mar be seen stepping
along over the rough roads, stopping
now and tnen to rest. Jiuc mere is
something a peat woman of Hhetlaud is
continually doing tbat wo have not yet
noticed. All have no doubt beard of
HbctUnd hosiery; of the fine warm
shawls snd hood and delicate veils that
come frcm these fur northern islands.
Now, all tho while, tbo poor, bare
legged woman is carrying her heavy
burden of peat, ber hands are never
idle. She i knitting, knitting away aa
fast as ber nimble fingers will allow. In
her pocket is tho ball of yarn, and aa
her needles fly back and forth she
weavea fabrics of such fineness that tho
royal lathes ot England wear them ;
and no traveler vitiU tho island with
out loading his trunks with shawls,
mittens, stockings and other feminine
fancies. Not to know how to knit in
Shetland is like not knowing how to
read at home. A little girl is taught
tlio art before ahe can read ; and, a a
result, at every cotUge will be found
the spinning wheel and tbo needles,
while tbo feminine hand are never
idle. It is o ne great means of support ;
and on Regent street in London will be
seen windows full of soft, whilo gnosis
marked "Shetland hosiery." Who
first instructed these far northern pronle
in this delicateart is not knuwa. On
Fair Isle, ono of the Shetlaad group,
the art i first said to have been dis
covered, verx 5?? yer jjo. , On
rmh hhkkj jbtp, iiw mm, mj wom
an, girl and. child knits whilo working
at any of her various duties. The yarn
with which the Shetland goods is made
is spun from tho wool of the sheep we
see roaming about tho fields. Iu al
most every cottage may bo seen the
vcriUble old-fashioned wheel ; and the
busy girl at the treadle sends tho great
wheel Hying, and spins out the long
skeins, which serve to mako baby a
pretty hood or grandma a warm shawl.
SrxucsE FvoxnxQ ILcses. A trav
eler in Siarn describes the floating
house ; Wo bugged the shoro closely
and passed within a few yards ot float
ing houses, whose owners looked at us
with the calm nonchalance of tho Ori
ent. Ferhapsyou may not understand
a floating house; it is built on a raft of
bamboo poles aud securely moored to
strong posUin the mud or ou the bank.
It is a perfect house, rooms, roof and
all, and iU floor is about twelve inches
above the water. There are thousands
of these houses in Bangkok, and they
are not to bo despised, as they have a
never failing supply of water, are ex
cellently drained, and very easy of ao
ccsa. One of their drawbacks is tho facil
ity with which the numerous water
snakes of the Meinam gain an entrance;
the Siamese never have snake in their
booU, for the reason tbat they don't wear
any, but they frequently find then in
their bed or about their apartments.
The floating houses had their origin at
a timo when the land bordering tho
river was very unhealthy, and the king
gave tbo order to build upon the river
itself aud not along iU banks. The
hollow joints ot the bamboo specially
adapt it to the construction of raits,
and it is said that this tree first gave tho
Chinese the idoa ot building boaU in
compartments.
