From the New York Herald, 121b. 1 Of Board the Albion, KraKWAix, Orkney Islands, July 21, 4 p. m. We left Aberdeen yesterday and arrived here this forenoon. It is a quaint old town, with a fine harbor and a good anchorage.

When it was founded nobody seems to know, but it was somewhere away back in old Norse days. They were evidently Christians, for tbey built a church, and it was in consequence called Kirkevaag, which simply signifies Church Bay. it is chiefly remarked for its grand old cathedral, built in 1KVI or 1139 accounts differ by3, powerful Irol Ronald, and was by him dedicated tojhe patron saint of Orkney, Saint Magnus, who, when in the flesh as a proper man, was cruelly set upon and murdered some enty years before. SltiHT SEEING OX USB. As soon as I could get ashore I -hurried off to see it, and.

having other projects in view, we all stopped by the wav at a little comfortabla looking hotel, whose proprietor promptly offered to be our guide, and we followed him up to the very top of the tower, through any number of round galleries and narrow, winding stairways. The view from the top was very fine. Below us lay the London-looking town, for all the houses are built of granite. Hound about lay a rolling country, clothed with flocks of sheep, but without trees, for the sea winds are so strong that no trees will grow. Away beyond was the fiue castle of Belony, while at our feet were the ruins of the Bishops palace snd of the Earl palace.

The Bishop's palace hods quite a uiemoJable place in his tor fur it was bere that, in 1263. after the battle of Torgs, King Hakon, or llaro, took up his residence and died. The Karl palace, still in a fair state of preservation, is a monument of the tyranny and oppression of Earl Patrick Straward, by whom the pople here-abouts at tlist tiioe were plundered acd oporessed. It is gratifying to know that in the end he had his head chopped off after the most approved method of tlie time. THE CATtir.rR.iL.

The cathedral itself is 'SM feet long by feet in width, bile the cro-s is 9- feet by 28 Originally tlie cross was precisely one-half the length of the nave, but 32 feet weie added about three centuries EiTo. This part is now used as a parish church, and is aartitioned off from the great body of tbe cathedral by a woodeu paitition, and by being more decidedly Uutbic the effect is in a measure destroyed. The whole interior to the roof is very imposing. The roof is seventy-one feet above the "floor. The massive columns, as well as the whole of the church, are of red saudstone, which is everywhere much "rumbled.

The style is the early Saxon-Xorruau, and Is regarded as one of the finest specimens oi that style iu existence. I would have lingered by the hour in this old, grand work of au age which we cannot uow comprehend, for when this treat pile was erected there could not have been 500 inhabitants here, to care for it or glory in it. Tbe age which it represents, the feudal times of our traditional chivalrjv gave as all those architectural wonders, now so often ruins, that excite our wonder aud admiration; bnt while beholding them we are too apt to forget that the; were erected at the sacrifice of the liberties of the people, merely to gratify the passing whim of some powerful kintr, lord, or baron. The cburchwood, with its crumbled and crumbling tomb-Stones and slabs and monuments, on which could often set be traced a mark or a letter, and its newly made graves, was a place of peculiar interest; but from it I hastened away to see the most curious and, in its way, perhaps, the most remarkable ruin in all Britain. This is the widely celebrated MAESHOWI.

It lies on the Stromness road, nine miles away from Kirkwall, and hither we hied away over a good turnpike road, behind two funereal looking horses, with core knees and eyes, and in a wagon that gave me the best bouncing I ever had in all my life. But there is out compensation in the fine view we had of the Bay of Firth on the right, and of Wideford Hill on tbe leit, and then of the long stretches of purple heather which met us here and there, and the picturesque little thatched huts and Tillages. One of these, Finstone by name, seemed to have about 200 inhabitants, who lived in the oddest looking old one-story stone huts, you could hardly call them houses. Three good sized churches are, however, supported by this singular people, and tbe three parsonages looked quite cozy and comfortable, the only one answering that description we saw. he is situated in tbe midst of a plain hich washes down to the sea.

From the summit of it we see a mile away the standing stones, supposed to be the work of the Druids of old. Near by are the Loch of Stenness and the Kiely Tang Hills, beyond which lies the parish of Orphir, where was fought the famous battle of Bigs wall, where numerous mounds mark tbe victory over the old Caithness invaders by (he Orcanians. The Maesbowe remains to the present lime A UYSTEKT everybody. Some think it one thing end some another. It appears as a simple tumulus of conical shape, about MO feet in circumference aud 'JO feet in diameter, surrounded by a trench about forty feet wide and from three to ten feet deep.

It is all overgrown with the finest grass, and is about forty feet above the general level. The interior is the remarkable feature. The stones of which it is constructed are of immense size, and have required extensive machinery to more tbem and place them where they are. The entrance in the side of the mound is by a doorway two feet four inches in width, and gives access to a passage hfty-four feet long, which leads into a chamber fifteen feet square by thirteen feet high. On tbe sides are cells of similar dimensions.

The surface of many of tbe faces of the stones is polished and carved with inscriptions. In one" place there is the figure of a dragon, and below this is a serpent. MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS. One of the inscriptions has been translated variously, but the following is very likely correct: "This lepuii'bral mound was raised for the sons of the deceased hero Todlrock. They were wise, brave and powerful.

Scarcely have there ever been men such as they were in the Northwest. Great funeral honors were paid If this Todlrock mentioned in this epitaph was the famous R1GNAR TOPBROCK, the erection of this structure must have been in the latter part of the eighth or beginning of the ninth century. It is probable thai after the stone structure was erected it was ddubtless covered over with its present immense load of earth, taken from the ditch which surrounds it. Returning from this most interesting journey we hurried on board, and now the cry again is Are you all ready?" "Ready!" Then slurry up the letters. I hear the click of the chain in the aawsebole, and must defer further intelligence until I arrive in the Shetland, where we halt for a few hours Then we go to the Faroe Islands for a day, and then we go direct to Iceland for the celebration.

sslserst Tlssibes- Sssslr. Quite recently an elaborate calculation of the amount of timber remaining in this country was published, and attracted notice because, coming from an individual interested in the trade and affirmed by tome organs of tbe lumber interest and introduced to -Cod grant at a motive for legislation, it left the whole amount of standing; timber in the United States and Canada only 248,440,000,000 feet, of which Canada baa 73.000,000,000. The statement left this country but 6,040,000,000 feet of yellow pine, ot which Virginia was credited with North Carolina, South Carolina, 90.000,000; Georgia, and Florida, 1,700,000,000. We find in tbe Georgetown (S.

Phila delphia Uazetle. Sleavmsblp Perils, The Pacific mail steamship Colon arrived at this port from Aspinwall yesterday, bringing several of the crew of the unfortunate steamship City of Guatemala, which went ashore on Watling Island at midnight on July lti. She also brought the log of tbe abandoned steamship and a communication from her commander, Captain Uildreth. explaining the nature of the accident, tbe position in which she lay, aud the probabilities concerning her fate. The principal details of tbe disaster have already been recounted in the columns of the Tribune, She was on her voyage from New York to Aspinwall, when, on the night ef July 16, at 12 o'clock, she struck upon a coral reef at the northeastern extremity of Watling Island.

Since the first tidings of the disaster all reports hrve been meager and unsatisfactory. From the particulars? brought yesterday, it is learned that tbe vessel had been making an excellent passage from New York, whence she sailed July 11, and an early arrival at Aspinwall was anticipated. She was on the regular course of tbe Pacific Mail steamships, but on the night of the 16th seems to have wandered somewhat from the nsual route. Before the mistake was discovered a shock was felt throughout the steamer, and tbe water began to rush in. An examination was hastily made, and two large apertures were found beneath the engine.

Tbe vessel was firmly wedged upon the rocks, however. and was in no danger of sinking, lbere were no passengers on board and the crew were at once set to work to do what they could to save the steamer. An investigation disclosed the fact that the vessel was on tbe outer edge of the dangerous coral reef which surrounds Wallirg's and others of the Bahama Islands. Through the large fractures the water was pouring in more and more rapidly, and in one hour after the vessel struck she was full of water. Soundings were taken at once, and it was discovered that there were no less than fourteen feet of water all around the vessel, while i00 feet astern the water was from thirty to thirty-five feet in depth.

At a distance of only 8'W fret astern it was impossible to find bottom. Twelve of the crew were sent away in boats, and no accident is leported. The commander sought aid from Nassau withont delay, and hoped to secure steam-pumps at once aud pump out his vessel. There was no time to send to New York for pumps, since a strong northeasterly breeze was blowing, and the billows were rolling over the reef, and promised soon to float the steamer off, or, more dash her in pieces before aid could arrive from thus city. It wa found impossible, however, to accomplish anything, and the vessel was finally abaudoued.

with little hope of her final safety. It was Hill hoped, however, that a large jiortion of the cargo would be saved, but it would be much injured i by the aves. 1 he cause ol the disaster was stated by Laptain Hildreth to be the variation of the compasses. Nas sau, the port sought by Captain HilJreth, is about 100 miles north west of Waiting's Island in a direct line, but the islands of Elentbera and San Salvador intervene, and the route by water is just 200 miles. Wat-ling's Island lies fifty miles southeast of San Selvador, in lattitude 23 56' north, longitude 74 28' west.

It has a fertile soil, is sixteen miles in length, and contains only about 700 inhabitants. The dangerous coral reefs which surround it are from a quarter of a mile to a mile from the and the point where the Guatemala lies is about balf a mile northwest of White Cay, tbe northcaitc.ru extremity of the island. Tbe crew of the Guatemala, being landed, were at length sent to Aspinwall and were put in charge of the L'nited States Consul at that port. tin Aug. 3 they were received on board the Pacific Mail steamship Colon, bound to New York.

The lis, of those of the Guatemala crew who embarked on the Colon is as follows: S. E. Wilson, surgeon; Charles E. Mc-Kinley, freight clerk; Lewis Paris, Henry Steadman, James Satchel, Michael Bowert," Thomas Payne, John Gleason, James Wooley, John G. Biggin, John Kelley, John liogan, Charles E.

Terley, Henry Borentoa, Charles Johnson. On the passage to this port tbe Colon passed witbin fire miles of the abandoned steamship at 1:40 p. m. Friday, Aug. 7.

She bad not yet gone to pieces, and her hull appeared to have sustained no further injnrv than that caused by the first chock. H-- smokestack was El ii i standing, ana me aeck. nouses were slighty injured. The masts, however, bad beeu removed, probably by the wreckers who infest the coast of this vicinity and earn their livelihood by preytne upon unfortunate vessels. Captain Hildreth having made his statement, the substance of which is furnished above, remains in Nas sau, and will do everything in his power to save tbe cargo.

A full description of the steamer, her cargo value, insurance, bas already been given in the Tribune. Captain Dow, commander of the Colon, by whom much of the above information was furnished, sava the vessel will doubtless be a total loss. Ate York Tribune. Thm Lut Limit. Yesterday the last link in the chain of circumstantial evidence that will in all probability send John McNairy and John O'Connor to tbe gallows or to tbe Penitentiary, for the cold-blooded murder of their cousin, Ida Buckley, was found.

Chief Detective O'Connor received "reliable information as to the whereabonts of the wagon in which the doomed girl was carried to her death, and dispatched a man to Ryan's blacksmith shop, at tbe intersection of Olive street and Lay avenue, where it was found and brought to ibis city. The proprietor explained that some days previous to tbe tragedy he had made arrangements to repair the vehicle, and on Friday morning, before McNairy had been arrested, he called at their stable and took tbe wagon to their shop. When found it was very evident that a terrible struggle had recently taken place witoin it, as one of the side boards and part of the front had been knocked off. These had been replaced by Mr. Ryan.

The wagon had also evidently been recently washed, and here again the evidence against the prisoners is made all the stronger for the reason that the morning after tbe murder a girl in the employ of Mr. Fallen visited McNairy's store and found' the clerk busily engaged. She asked how it was that he was working to hard, and received the reply that John had been out late tbe night before and wanted tbe wagon cleaned up so that Tom would not find it out. The vehicle has been identified by Mollis O'Brien. the Eighth street landlady, one of the girls in her house, and a colored boy as the same one which carried Ida off on the Wednesday nieht on which she was murdered.

To make assurance donbly sure in regard to the identity of tbe wagon, it only remains to be stated that one of Ida's ear-rings and a portion of her neck-cbain were fonnd in the vehicle at the time of its discovery.

It was also shown that tbe male attendants bad been permitted to pass in and out of the female wards at will at all hours the day and night. was also shown that the patients have been poorly fed, and rare bad mnj vegetables, that management! but that there had been thite factions jealous of each other and operating to the injury of each other? General demoralization and mismanagement prevailed. Dr.

Corey said that a complete chantre was aecesaary rom the nature of the case he agreed that the inmates of the asylum should be treated differently from the paupers because they need good food and must be well nourished. They were there through no fault of theirs, and their lot was a painful one, which appealed to tbe compassion of tbe humane. lie said that they bad evidently been abused, made to eat poor food and foul meat. Commissioner Cunningham said that he had endeavored to have good supplies furnished to the asylum, but bs had found it a difficult matter to have his wishes carried out. He spoke of examining a bam on on occasion.

It smelt offensively. He cnt the baa; In which It was mnuinaiL and a revolting siifht met bis raze.

In answer to a question tbe uiuiri.u replied that there were absolutely no vegetables to give the The doctor, much astonished, said: "Thut shouldn't be. They should have good supplies, carefully inspected.

"I think it would be well for some one of tbe Commissioners who are on tbe Asylum Committee to visit here once a week, and make a careful inflection of the institution, or the whole committee might go through the building once a month from cellar to dome, and make a personal examination of tbe several departments. It would be a check on the subordinates, and do a great deal to make them live up to the mark. AU the employes should be subordinate to the Medical Superintendent." Commissioner Cunningham replied: "All the trouble nearly in this institution has grown out of a multiplicity of independent beads. The truth is, there have been three factions pulling and draggiug one another. The subordinates, and not tbe Commissioners, have run the department.

The attendants who were summoned told a sad story of demoralization and lack of discipline, reflecting upon the management of the retired physician, Dr. McDonald. Immoral conduct was shown to have prevailed to a great extent, and Dr. Corey expressed himself astounded at the revelations, lie denounced tbe practice of letting the engineers and workmen have keys to the female wards, and said that be would make a complete change in the management. To that end he proposes to inspect the institution every day.

which appeared in yesterday's Jerald, have created more than ordinary excitement, indignation and gossip in Treuton and vicinity. Yesterday Prudence Lupardos, one of tbe alleged principals iu the infamous conspiracy to entrap a young and innocent female into a life of shame, appeared before a police justice at Trenton, and after a brief preliminary examination she was required to give bail in the sum of $1,000 to appear at the next term of the Mercer County Court of Oyer and Terminer to answer the charge preferred against her. J. E. Simmons, of No.

27 Center street, Newark, her alleged co-conspirator, has not yet been arretted, for reasons not yet made known to tbe public. A Herald reporter succeeded yesterday in ferreting out additional particulars, and he also bad an interview with Elizabeth Noble, the victim of the abduction. On the of July last an advertisement np-pcared in one of the Trenton pupers, which read as follows: Wanted Immediately, two Intelligent youne; la1i to go to New England, to engage in a light and rex-tat'la employment, paying from to rx ilav.

It aopears that the woman Lupardos, who had already made the acquaintance of the unsophisticated farmer's daughter, called her attention to the inducements offered in this advertisement, and. as is slated in the interview, prevailed on her to take advantage of them, and desert pareuU, friends, and home for that purpose. Miss Noble is a prepossessing, iunocent-look-ing person of about seventeen summers.

To the queries put to her by her interviewer, she answered cheerfully and unhesitatingly. The following is Tilt (ilia's 6T0KV. Mr'.

Mrs. Lupardos there showed me a letter from J. E. Simmons, of 21 Center street, Newark, which read: Elizabeth Noble We would be glad giad to have you with us br MuiMiay evening. to fail with U3 for New England on Tuesday morning.

Even when I got on the train I had not made up niv mind to go, but Mrs. l.uperdos kept prevailing oil me all the time, and I was compelled to yield to her wishes.

When we arrived at Mumoni house we were conducted up stairs, and in a short time Mr. Simmons came in and, after a warm salutation with Mrs. Lupardos, he entered into a conversation with her. I was so much troubled I did not pay any attention to what they were saying. Simmons is a respectable-looking man, about 2 years old.

We were, after a short time, conducted "down stairs to dinner. At the table were seated six young girls and six young men, each man sitting alongside a girl. They were dressed very tine, and they looked like the best of "big After dinner a Newark olVcr came and arrested Mrs. Lupardos and myself, and conveyed to tbe station, where we stopped until Marshal Tyrrell came and brought us to Trenton.

It is of no ue for some people to try to mr.ke a holiday near home, no matter how beaut li'ul the not may be. A sense of sheer distance fruiu the ine place is needed. This may aiue some stolidity of nature, but if the stolidity" is there it had bitter be respected. There are not a few evsous in London and the same holds good of other big place---whose spirits rise as tbe railway stations left behind multiply. So long as they do not know, on in-on-teMible evidence, that tbey are far away from the brick wilderness, they still feel it.

Tor some a hundred miles is enough to break this si.ell; for others 300 will but ju-t fully do it. A special kind of coaxing of the imagination may en be asked; a shorter distance including a prormrtion of water will answer for a longer journey all on land. On the other band, there are, doubtless, eccentric individuals capable of getting a more sinister gratification from hiding near town and yet cleverly escaping its unal calls on them. 'To dodge London it rather a high pleasure in its way. before a man tries this kind of holiday, he bad better make quite sure that he belongs to the class.

It may be laid down at a rule, that for the majority of persona a journey long enough to give a sense of distance is the fires condition of a holiday. It is a large presumption in favor of change, and of itself goes a good way with many people in inducing a be lief that more rhanee is had than reallv falls to their lot. The only legitimate exceptions to this rule are the lucKy people who hare hobbies. A ceolocist may stop at the first bare bit ot London clay be meets wilh; a botanist it as far away in the New Forest as anywhere else. But an ordinary, nnhobbied person who has a misgiving of his holiday unless he is wearied of the railway in his usual occupations beforehand had better lengthen his journey backward and forward.

The distance will be a fact for bis fancy, if be bas any, to build upon. If he is not aware when he gets back borne of having had any holiday, he will at feast have the feeling of having traveled. Another obvious remark on this subject is that any one not livine on the coast can only at great risk leave out of his holiday the sight somewhere of water on a large-scale. The expectation bas grown to habitual in most of us that very few persons on their return could avoid a sense of incompleteness in their holiday if they had not seen a great liquid expanse. In the absence of tbe tea, tbey must have a decent-sized lake along with their mountain or moor; no extent of utterly dryland would fully serve if it had not, at tbe least, a waterfall to be visited.

There may be physiological reasons for this, but without subtly seeking for tbem, it is a sufficient explanation of the overmastering charm of water that it is for most of ns the easiest generalization of change possible. For all who are out of sight of it at home the sea or a lake makes a novelty asking no effort fo recognize it. So soon as it stretches before ns there is no longer any doubt that we are holiday-making; it is a patent containing proof that things aboat ns have really altered. A further reason of the great popularity of water-scenes doubtless is the ease with which they are observed. Wherever the view becomes liquid instead of dry.1 there is felt to be a relief of strain.

To look at a landscape even your prettiest arrangement of village roofs, church spires, meadows, and woods, with bright-windowed walls between is a complex task. Information is needed, knowledge of various kinds, and a certain degree of taste, merely to understand its merits. But a water view tasks no one in iu beholding, while its own ceaseless ttir, iu varying, appearances- from hour to hour, from moment to moment, gives the onlooker an illusive sense of something done on his own part. The busiest, easiest, most deceitful idleness is to watch the sea. A moun-1 01 forest thos bo do not live in such scenes, offers i strangeness on a scale which is eff ective from the first moment of your sight of them.

But it istoilsome to exhaust their attractions; vou have to see them from many points, and to go to each point, tHRif t.b of the water, and what bas to be looked at comes to you. For the average individual, the safest sort of holiday, tnt one most guarded against being an otter fail- or i 1 1 i ure, is a continental tonr. There is something which stands, in a fashion, for a se voyage, and at least one two capital cities are included in the route. The capital cities are the saving popular features. If tbe monntains are too grand for a maa, the rivers tcH beautiful, there ar: sure Pi le sniti- enrs in tlie real cities not too much for him, but in which ne will fie at home.

If his ta'tes are low, hi- hd? oulv to go low enosili in his search in order to have them fulfilled. Owing to the capitals, holiday mar be brought back liora the continent of any value, from tbe highest to tbe lowest. With a bit of sea to cross and a strange city to tee, things cannot be quite blank. Pali Mall Gazette. A GENTLEMAN.

We may have a correct conception of the character without being able to enter into an analysis of it. Courtesy and simplicity are its leading features. The most nighly cultivated men are ever the least conceited, and we generally find that the pedantic are men of small undemanding. Chesterfield emliodies its constituent elements in the term "politeness," which he defines as a benevolence in trifles, or a preference of others to ourselves in the ordinary occurrences of life. Gentleness, the foundation of the character, implies a reserved power, and is to be distinguished from weakness, as it is from a passive tameueas of spirit and an unreasonable compliance with the riirtntri or th of others.

It renounces no just right from the fear of incir irown, ana yieias no important truth to their flattery. A prominent feature of the character is con- siueraieness, wuicn may be said to consist of delicacy in the use of bower physical, moral, and social. Forbearance and wisdom in the exercise of this power of that which the husband exercises over tbe wife, the father over his children, the teacher over hn pupils, the old over the young, the strong ovrr the weak, the master over his hnnds, the rich over the ioor, tbe educated over the ignorant, the experienced over tbe confiding mark the gentlemnn. Bash fulness is not inconsistent wilh the character, and we are surprised Ihat so rare a quality is uot more highly appreciated. 1 he thought and feelings of tbe retiring disposition are not less refined, although they may not be expressed with the gracefulness of the really speaker or the impetuosity of the rattle-pate.

This dispoMliou frequently aries from the mind running in channels other than the commonplaces of ordinary conversation, and a consequent consciousness of inferiority in the art of pleasing. The assumption of the character is often but a simulation of the more agreeable habits of society, aud inly the veneer which hides depraved tastes and vicious propensities. Nothing more displays a frivolous, selfish. and vulgar mind than inattention to the timple courtesies of life, and without this even profound learning no more than tiresome pedantry. A person of tliis description says he cau be a gentleman when be pleases.

A true gentleman never pleases to do anything else, and never, by any accident, dero-g itei from this stauuard. He cannot stoop to a mean thing. He never btruls in borrowed plumage. He never stabs in the dark. He is not one thing to a back, crcd.

niau fu and anotner behind his l'nrers not meant for hi' eye are sa-Iiolls and burs, locks and keys, bonds and securities, and notices to tre-tfseri are not lor him. He is a consistent ob-erver of the second great commandment: whatever be judges to be houorabie he! practices toward all.

With the there is a positive devotion to the art and labor of money-making; the unrest of accumulation seizes on them like a fever; unless they are continually getting," adding to their store, investing at a good profit, reinvesting, and so crowding into a few years the natural work of a lifetime, they are wretched; filled with a tense of envy of more fortunate people, sullen, dimxntented, angry at not being able to teacb or to surpass the level of their neighbors or competitors. Even really good men are thus infected. I remember one, of great intellectual power, and by no means poor, who bad beard of an essay On the Art of Getting on," and was egarto get it, read it, and digest and apply iu lessons.

Another, a good and deeply pious man, confessed to me that he felt a real pleasure in getting money." When such as these give themselves up to the pursuit of wealth, as of something good in itself, what can we look for in the rase of others who have no ideas beyond those of material pleasure or profit, or whose fcearts have never been touched by the fire of Divine love? Tbe worse feature of devotion to money-getting is, that it necessarily destroys leisure, and excludes alike the possibUity and the idea of rest. A man cannot serve two masters. If material things engross him, the cultivation of the intellect, in its broader and higher sense, must be put aside, and the education of the heart must ceac. These require time, and repose, and meditation; men must be content to lie fallow for tba highest qualities are developed and strengthened not of set purpose, but insensibly, and unconsciously, jnst as the thirsty eartn dnnks in the rain, or rejoices in the sunlight. To business men, therefore, rest is essential if they are to be anything higher, or better, or nobler than mere men of busi- acal, money-making machines, accumulators.

Three men-of-war ships Dutch, French, and English while anchored in port, were contending with each other for the best display of sailorship, so tbe captain of each vessel determined to send alott an active sailor to perform some deed of grace and darine. Tbe Dutch captain sent a Dutchmau, tbe French a Frenchman, and the Knirlish an Irishman. The Dutchman stood on the top of the mainmast with his arm extended. Tbe Frenchman then went aloft and extended both bands. Now the Irishman thought if he could stand on the top of the mainmast with a leg and an arm extended he would be declared the most daring sailor.

Nimbly be clambered aloft nntil he reached the highest point; then be carefully balanced himself on both' feet extending bit right hand with a graceful motion. Then he threw ont his left leg until it came in a line with his righ arm. In doing so he inglorionsly lost his balance and fell from the mast, crashing through the rigging toward the deck. The various ropes against which be came in contact broke his fall, but his velocity was not too great to prevent hi grasping a rope attached to the mainyard. To this he hung for two seconds; then dropping lightly to tbe deck, landed safely on his feet.

Folding his arms triumphantly, as if fall and all were in the programme, be glanced toward the rival ships and joyously exclaimed; "There, ye frog-atin' and sausage-stuffed furriners, bate that if ye can!

In the northern counties of England, and especially in Lancashire, kicking is a favorite mode of fighting, and as the poorer classes in that region wear wooden clogs, these contesU sometimes result fatally.

Flogging is regarded as the only possible effective punishment, and Parliament will be re- 3 nested to confer upon magistrates tbe power of con-emning to the lash for the offense.

Since the war they have returned to their original duties, which were those ol colonial trooiis. The empire imported tbem into France as it did the Tnrcos those Sepoys oj Algeria When those corps were introduced into tbe imperial guard it became necessary to have reserves keep up their strength, and so lint regiments of Zouaves were brought into French garrisons to serve as a nursery for the Zouaves of the guard. The late war did a good deal to dissipate tbe exaggerated prestige of those semi-Oriental troop. As for the Turcos, after Forbach and Woerth they were reduced to a handful. Their European drill and discipline made them formidable to tbe Arabs, and their desperate valor aud ferocity rendered them uady opponents even to regular soldiers.

But their value was greatly diminished by the introduction of lone-range rifles. Excellent skirmishers, their catlike agility and speed and ferocious onset also made them terrible in a bayonet attack when, retardless pf death, they charged home to break a line or square. But. when tuch charges had to be made upon troops carrying rifles that kill at a thousand vards, and fire six times in a minute, the chief utility of the half-savage. Turco was gone.

It is unlikely that either be or the Zouave will again be seen figuring in a European war. Punt dapulch to the London Titnrr. Bstlloostatlrs. The Oakland Tribune of Wednesday last states that an attempt will soon be made there "to navigate tha air on a new theory." J. W.

Ureal, who bas made aerial navigation a study for thirteen veers, has constructed a baloon arrangement at Brooklvn with hich he proposes to fly through tbe air. Vednes-day morning the balloon was attached to a gai main, but owing to unfavorable weather the experiment was not followed up. The Tribune says: Mr. Crcal had the rest of his apparatus on the ground, and was patiently biding his time. This apparatus consists simply of two moveable parachutes attached to a pole, one p.liove the other, and worked like stirrup3 from below.

Imagine two umbrellas alternately sliding up and down on tbe same handle, and all attached to a balloon. These parachutes are about eight feet in diameter, and const'ucled of a strip of cloth that sort of overlap each other, separating when pushed np against the air, and closing when brought down. They do not hang exactly horizontally, but inc line forward so as to get a better hold on the atmosphere.

But tbe old man was not daunted; and. leaning on bis son and grandson, the three of them began to pick and dig, and to carry away tbe stones and earth in baskets, and an old widow sent ber child of 7 years old to help them.
