. now THE POOR THE.
A friend lately had a delinquent washerwo.
min, aitd not finding exchses as satisfactory
as shirts, set out with me to hunt her up, not
1.1 -r.- for curiosity to find the clothes, that to
s :i‘ for ourselves how the poor live. Iler ad-
dress was a narrow street of a dozen blocks,in
t w heaxt of down town, and there was. not a
d uent building in it. The pavements were.
tut r two with garbage, and the houses stained
with slops thrown from the windows. The
woman wasin a crazy old wooden tenement
in the rear of the one fronting on the street,
anl in consequence had just as little air and
liglitiis it. would do to live. We found her
in a room ten by twelve, with a bed, wash-
tub, cook—stove and boiler in the corners,
leaving just room to worm onc's way between
them. llcr grOwn son and a little girl sat
on the bed; there was no chair, a string of
wet clothes hung above their heads. For this
room and a closet for the boy to sleep in,
sic paid eight dollars a month rent, her whole
means of living being her son’s wages as a
boy in a grocery store, at four dollars a week,
t‘-.c washing for one family, and a trifle of
help from her daughter, who got two dollars
and fifty cents a week as waitress in an up-
town house. Instead of making way with
the clothes, as we supposed, we found her
husband had been sick with fever, and the
doctor had forbidden her to send any clothes
11 .t of the house. The air could not get
through the house, the. drains were out of or—
der. and the stench in the entries was so
sickeningr that we were not surprised to hear
that? there was diphtliCI'i:1.;1ud small pox in
111.: block. The man had been sent to the
hospital to die, and the house cleaned and
disinfected by the board of health, but it
could hardly be kept clean by mortal hands,
and never healthy. Comfort! These people
never expect that. All they can hppe for is
the barcst possible life—so bare and naked
that a full meal is something to be dated from,
and the poscssion of a dollar a matter to be
remembered. And the end of that life? The
hospital first, and Potter’s field afterward.
That‘s all there is about it.
rm: rnoma or TENELIENT PROPERTY.
Passing a block of ruinous buildings on a
street by the river, I asked the owner why he
didn’t tear it down, and build something de-
cent. lie told me, laughing the notion to
St’ill‘ll, that such property was the most profit-
able in the city. It cost nothing to keep it in
repair, for he never made any repairs, and it
was divided into lodgings, twelve feet square,
or. a few, twelve by eighteen, and they were
always full. There was no loss. of mi, for
the money was always demanded in advance,
and if by the next month the tenant was un-
able to pay, the agent bundled him out in the
street, and there were always plenty to take
his place. There are families on Fifth ave-
nue who have incomes of sixty thousand a
year, from just such property, and they want
no better. What a horrid contrast between
the fastidious member of a fashionable club
who rolls down to his office in his coupe, of
a morning, from his luxurious, picture-hung
home in thebright, wide, tip-town street, and
the t‘c vcr-sccnted dens where poverty-stricken
\vrctchcs toil their lives away, to earn the
price of his luxuries. \Vhen will Moody and
cued toward their kind and take for their
text, “Your gold is corrupted, and your
riches: arc moth-eaten.”
MY GOL‘LD AND TIIE TRIBUNE. .
That. Jay Gould did get a controlling inter—
est in the New York Tribune, everybody be-
lieves, and ital he is sick of his bargain eve-
rybody also believes. Jay Gould is a tre-
mendous man, but he is not altogether infal-
labia. He wanted a big paper in his control
that he might manipulate the stgck market,
and he took advantage bf the trouble that
followed the death of Mr. Greeley, to gobble
the Tribune, or enough of its stock to have
an influence in it, the idea being that he could
get this stock writtenup, or that one written
down, and thereby put money in his purse.
But the thing didn’t work. Mr,Reid did not
yield to the behests of the stock king, and
the Tribune did not become a mere instru-
ment in his hands. And now Gould wants
to get out, The speculation did not; pay as
well as “fall street—in fact it did not pay at
all, for him. He did not want newspaper
stock unless he could use it to help other
stocks, and when the Tribune would not do
that, his Interest was at an end. Therefore
Reid gets rid of this stench, and the T ri'bzme,
freed from the odium that attaches to the
very name of Gould, will get back its place
in the hearts of the people. The Tribune
was a great power, and now that it is to be
freed from the reputation of Gouldism, it
will be' again.
TIIE MARTHA \l'ASIllNG-‘I‘ON RECEPTION.
The affair of the 22d, was, very appropri-
ately, the reception in Continental dress at
the Academy of Music, which not to see was
to regret. for the rest of the century, if one‘
should live so long. Three hundred ladies
and gentlemen of the best circles, not only of
New York, but of the Union,——wore the full
dress of the Old time, and a pretty sight it
was. The handsome men of the clubs,
in luxurious court-dr , , white satin
knee-breeches with purple and maroon vel-
vet coats, lace ruffles and buckled shoes,l&s
lovelier than ever in satin petticoats, with
brocade over-dresses, their heads elaborately
built up, with powder and plumes, jewels and
flowers. The beaux, iv is said, found the
dress so becoming, that they put it off with a
sigh of regret that they'conld not wear knee
brccchcs to show a handsome leg, or the ruf-
fles which set off a soft, aristocratic hand
amazingly. There were dresses worn at the
Academy, which figured at Lady W'ashing-
ton’s evenings, eighty years before, and one
fortunate lady, it is said, wore a flonnce which
was part of the matchless lace ordered
for Maria Louisa, by Napoleon himself, who
was a connoisseur. It was not generally sur-
mised, however, that the _fiouncc in question,
it was a remarkably fine piece of Mcchlin.
The Academy was densely packed, and the re-
ceipts must have been most gratifying for the
charity in aid of which the reception was de—
signed, for fashionable New York views its
gayest festivities with the sanction of charity.
'l‘wenty thousand tickets were sold at five
dollars apiece, and the'rcsult was, that hun-
dreds of holders of tickets, on seeing the
crowd, went home, without trying to enter, it
was worth the crush, to see the minuet danc-
cd by two dozen couples, trained for the occa~
sion by a fashionable Fifth avenue dancing
master. The elegant movements, the sinkings
and posturings, evervturn of which was love-
ly, were very unlike the angular rushes which
pass for dancing nowadays. Then the court-
ly three hundred filed off, through a covered
way, built across the street for the evening,
to the tea' tables in Irving Hall, where it was
the thing to I'cgalc onc’s partner with tea at
two dollars-’21ctip','and buy the cup and sau-
ccr,-“fa‘czsimiles'of Martha Washington’s own
tea set. for another dollar.
t-‘oameN ricri'nss.
To be :1 successful artist is to be a favorite
of fortune. The ai't-Itiania with our rich
collectors, who buy their pictures by agents,
as a speculation, is well-nigh as extravagant
as the tulip ntania of the last century, when
fortunes were offered for a single bulb. Mr.
Stewart lately paid $76,000 for a painting by
a celebrated French artist, and very kindly
proposed to throw his gallery Open to the pub-
lic, one afternoon a week. Foreign artists
are determined not to lose good prices for
want of asking. At. the cxltibilion of water
colors now open, the finest efforts of our best
artists, men like Samuel Colman and Swayne
hens women with. equally voluptuous couch
hangings, in which the artist had contrived to _
make the woman look as luxurious as the dam-_
asks,and the damask somaiow, as licent‘iOIisas
the woman, were tacked with the price of $1,-
100 apiece. Will cultivated Americans have
judgment to show these artists that this coun-
try is nottlie back—deer by whiCh they are to
discharge all their artistic rubbish? ' ’
Eon THE GIRLS. .
The bonncts for Spring will be largely of
straw, trimmed with velvet, and the shapes
curve protectingly around the head. The
first iinportations of dress goods are merely
last Fall’s styles, lighter in shade and fabric,
:0 suit the changes of March. The long,
square overskirts open in the back, trimmed
all round with fine side pleatings, and drawn
into easy folds across the front by pleats at.
the side, and held together with large bows
behind the seam, on the new salts. The long
polonaise-with long sides caught together in
the back, is the latest and favorite style,
very becoming and economical too. For the
house nothing is so much in style as the gored
dress with the full skirt in the back, and the
least trimming that the fabric demands.

peritnent Station.
Ex-
(‘I RCULAR No. 3.
rem-2 AND 1MPURE CROUND DONE.
From a number of samples of Ground
Bone, received at the station for analysis, we
select two, as illustrations, of the varying
compOsition and value Of these fertilizers as
actually sold in the state. The numbers are
those attached to each specimen when receiv-
ed at the laboratory.’ In letters of inquiry Or
other cbmmunications the articles may be re-
ferred to by these numbers. Since these are
used so prominently as examples, the 111111111-
facturcrs names are¢not stated here. Full
details of these and others will be given in
future reports.
No. 13 was called and No. 43 evidently is
in fact :1 “Pure Ground Bone.” Both were
of Chicago manufacture.
What is Bone? Bones contain besides a
small quantity of' water, two kinds of mate-
rial, the so—called ‘OROANIC’ and “MINERAL
MATTER" or Asa. By keeping a piece of
bone for a time in ahotloven' the water may be
driven out. If the dried bone be then put in the
fire, the ORGANIC MATTER will be burned
away, while the MINERAL MATTER will re-
main. On ‘the other hand, if the bone be
soaked for some time‘in weak acid, as hydro-
chlooric (muriatic acid, diluted ,with water)
the MINERAL MATTER will be dissolved out,
and the ANIMAL MATTER will be left undis-
solvc‘in aform similar to what is called
“gristle.” ‘
This ANIMAL'QRGANIC MATTER contains
the chemical elements, CARBON, OXYGEN,
HYDROGEN, and NITROGEN. We are familiar
with CARBON in charcoal and Himp black
which are nearly, and in diamond which is
quite pure CARBON. HYDROGEN and OXYGEN
unite from water. ' Air 159. mixture of Oxv-
GEN and NITROGEN. The only one of these
elements which has any especial fertilizer
value is NITROGEN.
The mineral matter consists chiefly of
PuosPIIArE or LIME, a compound of Puos-
PEOEIC ACID and LIME, and contains also ll.
small quantity of carbonate of lime and
other compounds. Bone fertilizers even
.when unadulterated contain also more or
less of materials insoluable in acids, which
are classified as SAND. Among :materials
used for adulterating bone are lime, plaster
(sulphate of lime) and salt-cake or utter-cake
(animpure sulphate of soda containing some
common salt.)
Some manufacturers wever, make no
secret Of adding salt-cake to bone which has
been boiled to extract the fat,E it being useful
to dry the fertilizer and prevent putrefaetion.
When plainly stated this cannot be called
fraudulent.
The compositionuof the tgo samples of
Bone is given in .

Let us now compare 01* figures. The
amounts of. water are not very different in.
the two articles, No.43 containing 5.7, and
No. 13 8.5 per cent. So likewise the percen-
tages of “sand” are nearly the same and
comparatively small in both cases-
The greatest difierences appear in the
“Phosphate of Lime," 50.7 per cent. in 43
vs. 31.5 per cent. in 13, and other mineral
matters 8.4 vs. 28 per cent. The percenta-
ges in 43 are very favorable and indicate
quite a pure article. But 31.5 pfificent. of
Phosphate of Lime in No. 13 is too little and
28 per cent. of other mineral matter too
much for a. good quality of ”pure bone.”

each per cent. or one part in 100 is equivalent
to 20 lb. in the ton of 2,000 lbs.

As explained in the previous circular it is
customary to estimate the COMMERCIAL"ALUBS
of fertilizers by ascribing a certain value to
each pound of the essential ingredients.
The values then assumed were for bone,
phosphoric acid 6 cents and nitrogen 20
cents per pound. At' these rates the com-
Inercial value wOuld be as in the table below,
in which the selling prices are also given.

By this calculation No. 43is worth 44
cents more, and No. 13 $17.18, less, per ton,
than the selling price, the estimated val of
the latter was, in fact only I‘m: status of
the price charged.
This method of estimating the values of
fertilizers is, however, not in all respects
satisfactory. . We are by no means prepared
to say that 6 cents per pound for phosphoric
acid, aid 20 cents per pound for Nitrogen in
ground bone, are correct valuations in Con-
necticut at this time. These are the prices
assutned by Prof. Johnson, chemist of the
Connecticut Board Of Agriculture, in his last
report, and are, doubtless, not far from cor-
rect. That they cannot be entirely so, for
both tlte above cases is clear from a compari-
son of the articles there below. No. 18
contains a great many coarse lutnps of bone
some. composed of fragments Inorc or less
coarse, the amount Of really fine material
being comparatively small. In No. 43, on
the other hand, fragments as large as a grain
of wheat are rare and Inuclt of the material
is as fine as ordinary fine corn meal. The
large lumps in 13 would lie in the ground for
years before they would be decomposed and
their phosphoric acid and nitrogen rendered
available as food to the plant. But the fine
bone dust of No. 42-; could be more uniformly
dit’fusi-d throughout. the soil and quickly
used by the crop, and tints bring a Inneli
speedier return for the money it costs. In
rates of valuation current in Germany where
these subjects have received mucli more at-
tention than with us, nitrogen in coarse raw-_
bone is reckoned at about 12.} cents, and in a
steamed, finely powdered boncalust at about
‘21 cents per pound.

Connecticut Agricultural Experiment 'Sta-
tion, Middletown, Conn.
Tin-1 Pnimsornr or Lowe—In Octave Feu-
illet’s latest nOvel occurs the following stri-
king passage, It is a portion of a letter which
Madame de Louis writes to Monsieur de Rias,
when she is cndeavoring to bring him back to ‘
his wife :
“ A long time, sir, before you honored me
with your confidence, your marriage 'was for
me the object of much deep and sober reflec-
tion. The sad tum which it had takcnaston-
ished and troubled me to the last degree. It.
confounded my good sense, disconcerted my
logic and alarmed my piety. I knew your wife
as I know myself. I thought that I under-
stood you well also, and it was rather difficult
to fancy that the union of two beings so hap-
pily dowered and so perfectly disposed for
each other’s happiness and welfare should fa-
tally turn toward. mistmderstanding, discord,
and a disordered household. If marriage,
even contracted in these rare conditions of
harmony, brought only disaster, it was high
time to renounce it; the institution was con-
demned. This was what it caused me. great
pain to admit. Happily, by racking my poor
head for ideas, I finished by discovering that
instead of' attributing the evils to marriage,it
was perhaps more just. to ascribe ‘them to the
married people, and specially, I confess, to
the husband. ,
“ Mon Dim .’ I know that women are too
frivolously brought up. in France, that their
education is superficial and exclusively world:
1y; that it but ill prepares them for the seri-
ous duties of a wife; all this I grant you;
but despite all this I dare to affirm as a gen-
eral principal that there is not one of them
who is not morally superior to the man she
marries, and far more capable than he of all.
the domestic virtues. But I will tell you
why : it is because women all have in a higher
degree than you the main virtue of marriage,
Which is the spirit of sacrifice; but it is diffi-
CUlt for them to renounce all when their hus-
bands renounce nothing; and that is neverthe-
less what theyare asked to do.
“You have, perhaps, fancied yourself, sir,
a model husband, and in many respects you
have been one"; I give you that praise: but
you have, notwithstanding, a point of resem-
blance to the mass of your confreres—and it
is, that you make for yourself a very clear
idea of the duties which marriage imposes
upon the woman,and a very vague one which
it demands of the man. Marriage is not a
monologue ;‘ it is a piece for two persons.
Now you have studied only _one role, and it
was not your own. You are too sincere, sir,
not to admit that your personal conception
of marriage was simply this: to add to the
habitual comforts of your life an agreeable
accessory in the person of an honest and gra-
cious wOmnn who should ornament your
house, who should perpetuate your name.
and who, in short, should bring you, without
troubling you ttnmuch, asupplemcnt of com-
fort and respectability._ You have busied
yourself intensely, like all your sex, in en-
deavoring to find at Paris, in the country or
in China, that marvellous woman who would
make every-sacrifice and exact none. You
have not found her, and never will, because
that rare bird of~ which you all dream—the
domestic woman—necessitates the existence
of a bird still rarer—the domestic man.”
English Stage Coaching.
A correspondent writes us of his experience
in this line of amusement: .‘v
I read with much interest your London cor-
respondent’s letter on the revival of English
stage cOaching. I had the pleasure of a ride
to Virginia Water, last month, in the coach
owned and driven by Captain Delancey Kane,
a descendant of one of our best Knickerbocker
families. Captain Kane is r cgarded as one of
the most expert whips that drive out of Lon-
don, as he is certainly one of the most agree-
able of gentlemen. Enjoying a princely in-
come, he with some wealthy English gentle-
men find a pleasant recreation in reviving the
traditions of the days of old Tony Weller. I
doubt, whether Tony’s horses were as fine, or
as often changed, or his dray as elaborately
gotton up as these more modern ones. I ‘can
think of no pleasanter way of seeing rural Eng-
land titan from the top of one of these stages,
bowling along at a merry pace, as we did in
a delightful early autumn day, through Kew,
Richmond, Hampton Court, Sunbury, Chort-
sey, &-c. ; through English lanes embowered
with luxuriant foliage; over highways and
through hedge lined by ways, to the beauti-
ful lake of Virginia Waters—the favorite sum-
mer resortof George IV., and probably the
most picturesque spot in Royal WinsorPark.
Arriving at the Wheatsheaf Inn our host awaits
our coming with a generous lunch, which we
are all in a condition to do ample justice to
after our churning morning’s ride—New

TIIE OLD RED CENT—As the old .ed
cent” has now passed out 'of use, and almost
out of sight, like the “old oaken
bucket,” its history isa matter of sufficient
interest of preservation. The ce‘was first
proposed by Robert Morris, the great finan-
cicrc of the Revolution, and was named by
Jefferson two years after. It began to make
its appearance from the Mint. in 1792. It.
here the head of Washington on one‘ side,
and thirteen links on the other. The French
Revolution soon created a rage for French
ideas in America, which put on the cent,
instead if the head of Washington, the head
of the Goddess .of Liberty—a French Libel-L
ty, with neck thurst forward and flowing
locks. The chain on the reverse side was
displaced by the olive wreath of peace, but
the-French Liberty was shortdived, and so
was ltcr protraiton our cent. The next head'
or figure that succeeded this—the staid, clas-
sic dame with a fillet around her hair—came
into fashionabout feity years ago, and her
finely chiseled Grecian features have been
but slightly altered by the lapse of time.

A Suspected Clergyman.
A Willimantic (Conn) paper tells a'curious
story about a Norwich clergyman who sup-
plied a country pulpit one Simdny, and
was obliged on his return home Monday mor‘
aingto travel by stage-coach about three miles
to the railway stations On the route the dri-
ver heard something rattle in the gentleman's.
carpet-bag which sounded to him like- pieces
of steel striking together. Putting the gen-
.leman's reserved manner, keen appearance,
and the ominous sounds from the carpet-hag
together, the driver concluded that his pas-
ienger was a first-class burg] perhaps a
bank burglar—and after his arrival at the (le.
pot be hunted up an ofllccr and imparted his
suspicions to him. The officer went to the
depot, and there was the suspected burglar
pacing up and down the platform, waiting
or the train. The officer thought him a sus-
picious looking character, and his suspicions
were confirmed by the tenacity with which
the gentleman clung to the carpet-bag, for it
was never out of his hand from the time he
eft the stage until the train came. 'In a short
time the train came along, and the traveler
entered and took a seat. The officer, intent
on duty, saw a gentleman on the train with
whom he was acquaincd, pointed out the suit-
pectcd individual, imparted his suspicions,
and requested his friend to notify the police
in Norwich if the, gentleman stopped there,
so that they might be on their guard. When
the train arrived at. Norwich, the gentleman
alighted and ‘went tip-town, shadowed closely
by the other man until he found a policeman,
'when, pointing out the suspected party, he
inquired of the officer if 11c knew that man.
“ Know him ‘3' Yes. That's one of our mitt-
isters, Rev. Mr. --———, Pastor of the ~-——-

A Great Sunday SCIIODl Field.
The vist of Messrs. Paxson and Reynolds
to Texas, during the last year, for the purpose
of holding Sunday-school Conventions at'the
chief centers of the State, has increased pnb- '
lie interest in it as a most promising field frr
Sunday-school extension. One of the mis.
sionarics of the American Sunday-school 1'1:-
ion employed there, shows the importance of
such extension as follows: “ We are greatly
cheered by the immense immigration from
Europe, and from all the States of the Union,
which is filling every steamship and raih'oad
train, and dotting all our roads with covered
wagons. It is officially announced by ’State
zuthorities that over two hundred thousand
persons have come into Texas, seeking new
homes, since Jan. lst, 1875. They represent
all nations, sections, tongues and religious be-
lief; and 110' less catholic an organization
than that of the American Sunday-school
Union could meet their wants so as to secure
best results. The missionary loves to speak
cheerful words to them advising them and
directing' them to Sunday-school neighbor- _
Imods. During the last month he has organ-
ized six schools, with twenty-six teachers and
two hundred and forty-four scholars. He
was invited to spend his Christmas with a
Sunday-school organized by him a year ago,
on the Guadaloupe river, where, instead of
turkies a ‘ fatted calf,’ (more Scriptural) was
to be roasted whole, for the celebration."
A Picture of Texas Border Life.
A Missionary of _ the American Sunday-
school Union writes : “0n arriving at
on Saturday evening the first excitement was
made by an intoxicated man trying to shoot
his own brother. Several men were laughing
at him, one or two others trying to appease
him, all having six—shooters at their belts and
the cow-boy general Outfit ; breeches of goat
skin, with the hair on, and sombreros. These
young men have hardly had better ‘chances’
than the Indians on the plains. Scarcely
born indoors, and just as soon as they are
five years old giving way to other younger,
and sleeping out of doors on the porch or
under the trees. “'hen old enough to mount
a pony he receives an outfit, revolver and all,
and starts out for the herding and branding
of cattle ; associated with some of the vilest
and meanest of men, as ready to put his
mark on other people’s cattle as on his own,
drinking, carousing, and swearing. Pepriv-
cd of all the refininginfluences of home from
their earliest years; of course they are as free
as the air they breathe ; ignorant, cruel, un-
couth, and seem to glory in their depravity.
The notorious John Wesley Healy, son of a
Methodist m1'nister, a few counties from here,
a men under thirty years of age. guilty of at
least twenty cold-blooded murders, and hav-
ing escaped from justice, is now again set—
ting at defiance the sheriff’s posse of four
counties and two companies of rangers—this
man is one of these ‘cow-boys.’ .All are not
bad at heart, however, and many are finally
encompassed by civilization—a few years
now extelding the borders—and they get to
hear a sermon occasionally and then become
converted ; good men, too, yet still retain-
ing much of their roughness, and saying and
doing most outlandish things: Not long
since a ‘Parson’ Whipple, of the Methodist
church, was holding a camp.meeting' below
here, and among the prominent converts was
no less aman titan General H. S. McCul-
lough, brother of General Ben McCullough,
both of Mexican war and Confederate fame.
The General knew he had much influence,
and also knew the weak points of the young
men around him, and he commenced to ex-
hort them to repentance. He called lustily
for recruits, urged them to ‘come now and
enlist in the noblest warfare, under the most
glorious banner and the best Captain and
Officer.' The effect was electrical. Many
rough young fellows came to the inquiring
bench and some, professing conversion, ling-
ered at the place of preaching shouting and
exhorting. The crowd becoming too great,
Parson Whipple advised those who had got,
through, to move back and give room for
others, when one young cow-boy convert
shouted, ‘Yes, brand them; and turn them
out ! Brand them, and turn them out ?’
But with all this roughness they are, in‘ the
main, tractable, generous, and inclined to be
friendly. When they turn, they turn com-
pletely, for they are sincere. Their wicked-
ness is open and confessed.”
This missionary is canvassing these frontier
regions for the sake of organizing Sunday.
schools there as the primary and pioneer in-
stitutions of Christian organization and cul-
ture.
ADvExTI'RE WITII A SHARK— Patti Boyn-
ton, the famous diver, is writing sketches of
life beneath the waves for the Gentleman’s
Magazine of London. In one of his articles he
tells the follovn'ng story of arather uncomfort;
able-experiencez—s ‘
I was down on a nasty rock bottom. A man
never feels comfortable on them; he can’t tell
what big creature may be hiding under the
huge quarter-deck sea leaves which grow there.
The first part of the time I was visited by a
porcupine-fish which kept sticking its quills up
and bobbing in front of my helmet. Soon after
I saw a big shadow fall across me, and looking
up there was a shark playingabout my tubing.
It makes you feel chilly in the back when
they’re about. He came down to me slick as
I looked up. I made at him and he sheared
Off. For an hour he worked 'at it, till he could
stand it no longer. If you can keep your head
level it’s all right, and you’re pretty safe if
they’re not on you sharp. This ugly - brute
was twenty feet long, I should think, for when
I lay down all my length on the bottom, he
strechcd a considerable way ahead of me, and
I could see him beyond my feet.Then I waited.
They Inust turn over to bite, and my lying
down bothered him. He swam over me three
or four times, and then skulked off to a big
thicket of sea-weed to Consider. I knew he'd
come backwhen he settled his mind. It seem-
ed along time waiting for him. At last he‘
came viciously over me, but, like the time be-
fore, too far from my arms. The next time
I had my chance, and ripped him with my
knife as neatly as I could. A shark always '
remembers he’s got business somewhere else
when he’s cut, so off this fellow goes. It is a
curious thing, too, that all the sharks about
will follow in the trail he leaves. I got on .
my hands and ees, and as he swam off I
noticed four s ows slip after him. I saw
no more that tiine. They did not like my com-
