He left his home, in the western part of the city, one evening, and his Wife received a letter from him the same night, written from a down-town ho­ tel, saying that he had diiscovered that lead was a better floating substance than cork ; that, acting on this discovery, he was about to invent a lead life-preserver, was going out in one of the lake steamers to experi­ ment with it, and on his return to the city Would sell his patent for $100,000 and pay off all his debts. There is no doubt that he went Oct in the boat and tried the lead preserver, and was of course drowned, for his clothes were found on the boat on its return to the city.

DcMrartian by lire el the Ntcaaier Swiwaiiahaka, Near New V«rk City --rift)' t.iVCM 1/IMll, The steamer Seawanahaka, plying oh Long Island sound, between New York city and Glen Cove, took fire on the afternoon of the 28th alt., when off Randall's island, and burned to the water's edge. There were about 600 pass­ engers on board; 450 were saved by passing steamers, but the remainder either jumped over board and were drowned, or remained on the boat and perished by lire. Charles A. Dana, of the New York Sun, and two of theHaqier Broth­ ers were among the rcscusd passengers. From the telegraphic accounts of the disaster printed in the metropolit.ni press, we glean the follow­ ing particulars : The Seawanahaka, one of the fastest and trimmest steamers ruuuing out of New York, left her dock at 4:15 o'clock p. m., her deck well crowded. Many were returning to their country residences, and others were leaving town to escape the heat of the city, and spend the night in the cool villages along the sound. When off College point, in the sound, a few miles from the city, a cloud of thick dark smoke suddenly rose through the grating near the pilot-house. It was first thought that the smoke came from the engine- room, and no danger was for the moment ap- *>' fiscal .miinp Jim? 30 was valued at $84,370,144, of which #27,933,750 j up through the grating, crept around the pilot- were standard silver.

The cry "The boat's on fire" WP.S raised, and in an instant the steamer was the scene of ap­ palling confusion. A rash was made for the lockers in which the lifo-preservers were kept. Many of the men retained their presence of mina, and aided the officers of the steamer in equipping the women and children with pre- populafion of the United States will be in the servers.

The | tire-extinguishing apparatus was set at work, } but in vain. Ine names swept the steamer amidships, and spread both ways. Most of the passengers huddled together toward the for­ ward end of the boat. The port side was all ablaze, but on the starboard there was still a narrow space along which the passengers thronged toward tlio bow. i When it became certain that the steamer was doomed a heartrending scene of terror ensned. Mothers clasped their children to their breasts and sprung overboard with them. Capt. Smith ordered his boats lowered, and headed the vessel, under a full head of steam, (or the low land at the north end of Ward^t island. The steamer Granite State was behind the Seawanahaka when she caught lire, and her boats were at once lowered, and many persons on the water were picked up. The tug Refuge and a score of row-boats were soon around the blazing steamer, which kept moving toward the island. It was discovered that the water was too shallow to permit a land­ ing at Ward's island, and the vessel's head was turned toward the Sunken Meadows, a strip of marshy ground on the south side of Randall's island. There the Seawanahaka was run aground. A hundred people in the tug and row-boats were picking up the passen­ gers in the water. The persons who appeared to be dead were at first passed by, iu order that speedier succor might be given to the others. It is feared that many were lost of whom no rec­ ord has yet been obtained, and that their bodies drifted out into the sound with the tide. Dr. A. E. McDonald, of the Ward Island Insane Asylum, says that when he saw poople jumping from the steamer he ordered a force of 5U0 par- ! tially insane men, who were working on the i farm near the shore, to save what lives th"v } could. Many of them jumped into the water and drew to land a number who had .struggled almost to the shore, and others rescued the rendered with thirty-three officers, 254 privates, Haverly 8 Theater, in^ Chicago, where they ap- ! 133 arms of all kinds, twentv-fiieht womfiP, and 1 bodies which had drifted landward.

The Lord Lieutenant and bright, N. J., had a thrilling adventure arned away. Fireman Edward Abeel, of the Seawanahaka, says: "All of a sudden I heard a noise re­ sembling an explosion, and, looking around, saw flames coming up from between the fire- room and engine-room. In less than ten min­ utes the steamer was one mass of flames from stem to Btern. It seemed as if the fire spread instantlv, for no sooner had it appeared between the engiye-room and the fire-room than it broke out alno both fore and aft. I can no way ac­ count for the fir©. 'Hie eugtnaer »n<i firemen were always very particular to see' that no in- , flammable - tuff lay about' Engines and boilers were cousidered in excellent condition. The only way I account for it is the possibility that a flue blew out, opening the furnace dw and scattering the tire a considerable distant around-. The slight noise I heaiu may havo been a Hue bursting. I am certain the boiler did not burst. I think two-thirds of the pas­ sengers must have jumped over before sliq beached. The whole thing was almost instan­ taneous, affording no possibility of ascertain ng with certainty the cause of the fire, or even of doing anything to check it. As to the loss of life, it was principally from drowning in the rapid current. I saw several badly burned- one man with both legs almost burned off. The officers and crew, I believe, are all saved except Josiah Hasbrouck, the cook, and Charles Has- fcrouck, a waiter." Attacked by a Man-Eater. Capt. David L.

A Lamentable Lot. The woman who cannot grow old is jealous of her own children, and keeps aloof from them. She makes love while her son is making love. She beams and lowers her voice and steps out as grace­ fully as she can, and she is not unwill- ! ing that her figure should be compared 2)104 j with the figure of her son's lady ac­ quaintances. Her morals are irre- ; proachable. She never did a wrong ; with a shark. Accompanied by u fel low-fisherman he cast anchor off the rocks in ten fathoms water, and for five or six hours hauled in bluefish and sea bass without noteworthy interruption. The day was fine, the sea was right and the trail was strong. Suddenly the fish stopped biting. Longstreet was unable to account for the phenomenon, but, while thinking it over, he felt the strong pull of a bluefish at his hook. At the j same instant he saw the dorsal fin of a shark close by the boat. The shark's 1 tail churned the water into foam twelve j feet behind the fin. When the shark snapped at the bluefish which Long- street was pulling to. the boat he could see that it was not the com­ mon shark, but the black shark, or dreaded man-eater. Longstreet continues: " I let go of my line, but the bluefish darted straight for the boat, slipping under it and escaping. The shark following closely with open mouth plunged his nose through the • tuck' of the boat, about a foot forward of the stern, and his under jaw closed on the keel with a crash like the cut of an ax in a dry tree trunk. Water spurted into the boat. The shock threw ine head­ foremost out of the boat. 1 sank, and as 1 rose I felt that I was kept under by the agitation of the water by the shark's tail, which stirred the water like the propeller of a tug. But I struck out vigorously, and, to my horror, came to the surface alongside the tail of the shark. I put out my hand be­ fore I realized fully where I was, and touched his cold body, and I remember I thought, 4 How hard and strong this is!' As I turned to swim toward the boat my right loot struck liis long tail, and heie is the mark of the contact. As soon as I got to swimming I felt at ease. I didn't seem to realize, as I do j now, the horrible fate that awaited me if the struggling monster alongside of other," etc. The teacher said to the boy whoso turn came last: " Well, Robbie, what is your verse?" Raising himself up, he responded : " Song of Solomon, sccond chapter, fifth verse: ' Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.'" Now what oould be done with that style of boy? 1 The Beats of the Pulse. By means of a little instrument called ! the sphygmograph, the pulse-beats may be accurately and permanently record- j ed. And now Dr. B. W. Riehurdson, | LL.D., F. R. S., of London, by adding I a microphone to a spliygmogrr.ph, has | constructed a sphygmophone, by which j the pulse-beat may be heard forty feet away. I It seems that the sounds heard cor­ respond to those of the heart, and are : three in number, one long and two ' short, resembling the words " bother it." The three aounds are caused, the fi»t by contraction of the ventricle, as it throws the blood into the aorta, and the other two by the closing of the valve behind it and the recoil of the arterial column, as the contraction (systole^ is finished. It is found that the peculiar sounds of the heart, when diseased, and by which the physician's ear ascertains its condi­ tion, have their corresponding sounds at the pulse. As, for instance, those heard where there is a defective valve that al­ lows the blood, which should be thrown forward, to regurgitate into the chamber behind. Another interesting fact appears, viz., that a person's pulse is quickened by his laughter, the sound sometimes seeming almost like an echo of the laugh. Per­ haps this may help to explain the hy­ gienic value of a hearty laugh to one in a depressed and melancholic condition. In severe palpitation the sounds are all lost in a sort of loud whirr as from a revolving wheel. When the pulse-beats are over ninety a minute, there is, together with the or­ dinary sounds, a continuous sound re­ sembling what is heard when a shell is held to the ear--possibly caused by the friction of the blood against the walls of the artery. It is thought that the sphygmoplione may be very useful, in detecting minute and obscure pulsations in different parts of the body.-- Youth's Companion. -- - 1 Pioneer Incidents. A gentleman whose parents were among the early sMtiers of Clay county, Missouri, says that in 1824 there were only three men in the whole county who owned a suit of broadcloth. The usual dress was made from jeans and linsey, dyed with liickory bark. An incident occurred about thfct time which illus­ trates the simple habits of the people: A young man, by serving in the United States army, had laid up some money. He came to a town in the county dressed in a suit of blue ..broadcloth. On his head he wore a fur c;tp made by himself. For days he was the most noticed man iu the town--because he wore " store clothes." In summer, it was usual for women, as well as for boys and girls, to go bare­ foot. Even those young ladies who would wear shoes were in the habit of wearing, when going "out," a pair of coarse shoes, and carrying their " Sun­ day shoes" in the pocket. Just before arriving at the place they started for, the coarae shoes would be taken off and the "Sunday shoes" put on. In time this Ample mode of dress came to be associated with piety. If a person was a church-member and wore a more stylish tlv»-other people; the act would beget public criticism. A gentleman of education who, though not a member of any church, •syas an up­ right UWD, once attended church dressed ill a suit of broadcloth. The preacher, being old-fashioned and narrow-minded, associated broadcloth with those pomps and vanities which a Christian should renounce. During the sermon he re­ ferred to the gentleman as the smooth­ faced young man whose fine apparel was contrary to ths spirit of the gospel. The gentleman, however, listened with an appearance of respect to the criticism, knowing that the preacher was honest, if not wise.-- Youth's Companion. How to Boil and Stew. To do either properly the food must be immersed at the beginning in actu­ ally boiling water, and the water must be allowed to reach the boiling point again immediately, and to boil for five minutes. The action of the boiling water upon the surface of either meat or veget­ ables is to harden it slightly, but enough to prevent the escape of either juice or mineral salts. After the pot containing the food has begun to boil the second time, it should be removed to the side of the fire and allowed to simmer until it is done. This simmering or stewing ex­ tracts all the nutritious qualities of either meat or vegetables. The pot should be kept closely covered uulrss for a moment when it is necessary to remove the scum. The steam will condense upon the inside of the cover, and fall back into the pot in drops of moisture, if the boiling is slow. Do not think that rapid boiling cooks faster than the gentle process I recommend. After the pot once boils you cannot make its con- I tents cook any faster if you have tire enough under it to run a steam engine. Remember if you boil meat hard and j tially blown down, r-mmt YOtfXO FOLKsJ^ Thc Sallsr Boy's BY «. B. HOAO, M.

The story that grandpa is about to re­ late to you, my youthful friends, is one that he will never forget, though it hap­ pened many years before you were born. A few years siuce grandpa was, one Christmas evening, sitting in an easy chair in his cozy sittiug-toom, watching his little grandchildren, who were glee­ fully playing blind man's buff, that they did not fall on the stove. Still, he was thinking away back to his younger days, when liia bmbs were as elastic and he could play blind man's buff and other simple, innocent and pretty childhood plays, that are so pleasing and pleasant to children; thinking, too, that they would soon be weary of their play and desire something more stimulating and invigorating to develop their mental faculties. And so it was, for they soon, turning to him, said : ' " Oh, grandpa, please tell us a story; now, do, dear grandpa, tell us a good story, won't you, as you have your think- ing-cap on." So he replied: " Well, dear children, seeing that you have been so good in your plays, and, too, as you have been pleased to call my pretty head-dress a thinking-cap, -I wiil try, for there are but few people but would have called it a smoking-cap. No, no ; it never was and never will be, I hope, contaminated with the odor of that odious weed called tobacco. " Well, dear children, what shall it be, truthful or fictitious ?" "Oh, grandpa, what is a fictitious story? Do tell." "Well, I will as well as I can, for I am g;lad that you would know. Now, here it is--a story not founded on truth. Most all of these yellow-covered pam­ phlets and novels are fictitious stories, or, in other words and stronger language, right-down lies." " Oh, grandpa, then tell 11s a truthful story, such a one as you told us the other night about Aunt Lucy's being lost in the woods here some tliirty years ago." j "Well, now to the story, dear chil- ] dren. It was in the year of '33, rather late in the fall, that grandpa was in the j province of Upper Canada, as it was j then called, canvassing the new town­ ships for the sale of fruit trees, and in that region of country lying around the now quite large city of London, Ontario county, Canada West, which was then a howling wilderness, where I could hear every night the music of the howling wolf, and bears would come out and de­ stroy the corn of the pioneer. And here, in my business, it often became nacessary for me to go through the "bush," as the woods were then called. It was in this tract of level land that there were two roads running almost Jfcirallel called the Governor's and Terri­ torial--one leading to Detroit, the other to Port Sarnia, ^here witling had been and was still quite rapid. After finish­ ing my business on one of these roads, it became necessary, in order to get on the other, to ride on a bad road twenty- four miles around, or cross on an Indian trail twelve. So I concluded it was best to go on the trail, and, in order to get well on the trail, I engaged a settler to go with me a short distance, who ad­ vised me not to take it, saying the leaves had probably covered it in many places, and that it was only used by the Indians at that season of the year, and it might be ditlicult to follow, and, being a stranger, in case I was lost, no human being would know it until too late. Yet I was fool­ hardy, and did not take the advice. Rid­ ing on heedlessly* I saw nothing but an old Indian with* dog and gun crossing the trail. To have seen some wild ani­ mal would have been to my imagination a much greater treat. Riding in this careless way, looking to the right and left for wild animals, I judge about one- half of the way through, I looked down, and,e to my dismay, could discover no trail or blazed trees. On looking for­ ward I saw a tree leaning towards me. I rode to it, and, dismounting^ tied my horse. Then, what slioidd or could I do but look for the trail, in hope of find­ ing it. So then, taking a circle around, keeping my horse in sight, in my circle I discovered two blazed trees, but what they signified I could not understand. I took my knife, clipping the twigs as I went, going out of sight of my hor.se, and, when I came to him, I found the tree leaning in the opposite direction. My horse standing all right, I concluded it might be my head instead of the tree, that was my fault. In the last circle I made I had discovered a large tree par­ tially blown down. To it I went, climb- fast it will be tough and tasteless, and ing high up as I could, then I cried my speedy young bay under way. Leaving logs, hills and dales far behind, I soon came to a little slashing, the light of which made my heart leap with f eat joy. Reining my bay to the right, almost rode around before I discov­ ered the trail of the man who had done the chopping. " On this trail, about two miles further, I cam.-i to a fence made of brush, as the English, French and Dutch are in the habit of weaving around their first clear­ ings, over' which I had but little diffi­ culty of jumping my faithful bay into a little patch of broken-down oorn, de­ stroyed by bears. " Hardly knowing what I was about, I dismounted, and was pulling up some of the green stalks to feed him, when an old Dutchman came out of a little hut at the extreme endof the clearing, " Nix coot, nix coot," apparently much vexed at my helpfulness, he pointing to the hut and saying, "Frau furstay," of which I, having previously learned a few words of the Dutch language, un­ derstood ; so, leading my bay, I followed him to his hut, where the old lady said She "nix furstay Englash; little poy at skule furstay Englash." "So I waited for the boy to come home from school; and, as it was then dark, I should probably stay there all night. "Presently the little boy came home, and I made him understand what I had been about all the afternoon and what my business was, and how certain it was that I was no ghost, as the good old people did suspect. "After feeding my hardy bay horse with the broken-down corn, I retired to rest, for the first time, under a feather bed. "In the morning early, on giving the old gent an American half dollar and the boy another, which they stared at as though they had never before seen the like, I left with my boy guide for-the Gov­ ernor's road, three miles on, on which was the boy's school, and where I A TERB1BU .IXPERIEKCBT Uvntare with * Honita MAKE IN « l*Iln«.

The object of mterest is the old mine--we have forgotten the name-- worked ages ago for aught anyone now living knows, tod which has two shafts one recently reopened to a depth of forty-five feet, where drifts indicate the first level. No explorations beyond & few feet from the depth named hava b ien made, though it is evident that the two shafts mentioned are connected at this level. Desirous of a jaunt under­ ground, and at the same time expressing astonishment that none of the miners of the camp or owners* of the mine had worked up sufficient curiositv to extend the discovery, the doctor was lowered into the shaft. Emerging from the bucket, a taper was lighted, and the drift along- 5n entered uP°n- A chamber 10x12x8 was soon entered by crawling a. distance on all fours, after an examina­ tion of which and the selection of some ores the tour of discovery was continued.. To proceed it was again necessary to. crawl, and the doctor once more as- sumed the infantile position of locomo­ tion. An advance of a few feet had been made, when a cold, clammy sub­ stance was touched by the hand, and two bright, glistening orbs gradually rose in air and flashed back with in­ tensified brightness the feeble rays of the taper. Almost instantly a hissing rattling sound startled the healing, and the doctor realized that he had encoun­ tered a rattlesnake. To retreat was the work of a second, and the chamber just, left was soon regained. Assuming an upright position, the doctor cast a hasty glance at the „ -- - aperture from . ----- mucic j. whence he had emerged, and lo' and learned that I came out alive six miles b diold, there approached his adversary to the right of the trail.

It was at dinner time that the parents of Willie became alarmed, be­ cause the lad did not come in to his din­ ner. It was 1 o'clock when I arrived at the house, and at 2 it was agreed by the parents and a few neighbors that had gathered there that a general search should be made at 9 a. m. I left to ride fast, and give the alarm as far as I could within the town. Others went in other directions, also, and in the morning there was some fifty men gathered with . -- re­ treat was to invite and hasten the at­ tack, with the chances in favor of the • snake. To take the aggressive, then, was the work of another second, and, picking rp a chunk of ore, the doctor hurled it with all his might at the pro­ truded, vibrating head of the snake just as he was in the act of springing. The exertion of throwing the ore extin­ guished the taper, and the horror of the then situation can well be imagined but never accurately described--the dark­ ness, the dread uncertainty of the lo­ cality of the reptile ; the torturing ig­ norance of the success or failure of the blow, the fear to move, all combined to intensify the hair-raising, chilling ter­ ror of the situation.

The snake was six ftet in length, very large around, and numbered nineteen rattles. The doctor had explored sufficiently, and regained the surface as soon as possible.

If a person swallows any poison what­ ever, or has fallen into convulsions from having overloaded the stomach, an in­ stantaneous remedy, most efficient and applicable in a large number of cases, is a helping teaspoonful of common salt, and as much ground mustard, stirred rapidly in a teacupful of water, warm or cold, and swallowed instantly. It is j scarcely down before it begins to come | up, bringing with it the remaining con- I tents of the stomach, and lest there be j any remnant of the poison, however small, let the white of an egg or a tea- spoonful of strong coffee be swallowed as soon as the stomach is quiet, because these very common articles nullify & large number of virulent poisons.

The proportions of the human figure are six times the length of the feet. Whether the form is slender or plump, the rule holds good, any deviation from it is a departure from the highest beauty in proportion. The Greeks make all their statues ac­ cording to this rule. The face, from the highest point of the forehead, where the hair begins, to the chin, is one-tenth of the whole stature. The hand, from the wrist to the middle finger, is the same. From the top of the chest to the highest point of the forehead, is a seventh. If the face, from the roots of the chin, be divided into tliree equal parts, the first division determines the place where the eyebrows meet, and the second the nos­ trils. The height, from the feet to the top of the head, is the distance from the extremity of the fingers when kthe arms are extended. John Quincy Adams. The personal habits of John Quincy Adams, when Minister, were remarkably simple, we infer from this entry in his diarv : "I rise usua'ly between 5 and 6; 1 begin the day with reading five charters in the Bible; I have this day finished, in course, the Old Testament. I then write until 9 o'clock, when I breakfast alone in my chamber. I write again after breakfast, and walk an hour. We dine at 4, and sit at a table until 6.
