The N ew York Observer commenting upon
a correspondents views of the proposed Bank-
rupt law s s : If "II.” will show that it is
right to make a law by which citizens shall
be legally sustained in doing what is morally
wrong, he will do. what to ‘our knowledge
has never been yet done. ' {
The French law provides, that a debtor in
order that he may have a chance to go on
- and earn his living, and it'may be accumu-
late property, shall be discharged," but says to
him :‘ _“I have released you as an act of pub—
lic policy; nowI ‘take away your right to
vote. That is another public act. I put
you under-disabilities which may only be
recovered when you pay all your creditors
principal and interest."
The Editor adds :V This is an acknowledg-'
'ment of the moral of the point we make.
After a bankrupt has recovered ability to
pay his debts, the moral law requires him to
do it; the civil law should do the same in all
cases when a sense of justice and honor is
wanting on thcpart of the debtor.

Utilization of Small Streams.
In general the land bordering upon small
brooks, and even larger streams running
through farms or fields,is_entirely useless,and,
in many cases is a nursery of noxious weeds.
and a harbor for vermin. By the expenditure
of a little labor, or a small sum of money,
such useless land may be turned to valuable
account. By damming the stream a pond of
respectable size may be made, which,stocked
with fish, will become a source of larger in-
cOme than several times its area of- thebest
land upon the farm. Fish culture is too often
supposed to be a troublesome and fussy busi-
ness,in which one may spend much money to
little advantage. But I do'not propose fish
culture. 3 I suggest stocking the pond tllus
made with fish of a kind easily kept, which
willnot require to be fed artificially ; such
kinds, in fact, as will feed themselves. Asa
rule, the most desirable things cost for their
attainment in proportion to their scarcity and
desirability. Trout, among fish, are the
choicest kind and the most costly to procure,
and it is probable that the man who gets a
dollar for a pound of trout grown in a pond
has well earned his money. Every one cannot
eat trout, as every one cannot drink cham-
pagne, but there are agreeable and wholesome
fishes-as well as wines, that cost very little,
and the average person may well be contented-
with them. A perch, either white or yellow,
is not far behind a trout in flavor and firmness
of flesh, and this fish will thrive in any pond
above the character of a mud hole, and in
water that is too warm for trout. Eels are
easily grown-in ordinary p‘onds, andvthess
are choice meat. Black bass is a choice fish,
and may be mixed with chubs and minnows,
upon which they will feed. In fact, the
kind of fish to be procured is altogether a
secondary matter to the making of the ponds
for them.
An estimate of the value of half an acre of
pond surface may be made as follows: Ten
pounds weight of fish may be kept in 240 cu—
bic feet of water if the supply of food is
adequate ; hence half an acre of an average
depth of 3 feet will afford 66,000 cubic feet
of water, sufiicient in capacity for more than
1,500 pounds of fish. Assuming that a' third
of the fish will arrive at. eatable size each
year, this will give a supply of 800 pounds
of fish annually. or about 15 pounds weekly.
Such fish as may be grown in a pond are
worth 25 cents a pound, making an annual
supply worth $200. The cost of catching
mag: be counted as nothing,and doubtless the
contract could be let to boys at that price!
In addition to the fish, the ice may be esti—
mated as worth $50 yearly, amounting as it
would to over 500 tons at one foot thick. If
only 200 tons were procured, at 25 cents a
ton, $50 would be realized. I have known
$200 to be realized from the sale of ice from
a smaller pond than half an acre, 8. dollar a
load being charged to, parties who were glad
to cut it themselves at that rate. Something
may be realized from the water itself, in its
use for irrigating meadhws; also Water power,
which may be utilized in raising or forcing a
supply to the buildings and yards, and in
other ways which will be found useful in
many cases. But if it be used only to pro—
cure a supply of fish and of ice, a pond of
.this kind will prove an excellent piece of
property, and aftera time will be thought
indispensiblc.—-Agricultural Engineer in the

Wbympcr’s Andean Observations
Mr. Whymper’s notes of his ascent of the
Ecuadorean Andes, published in the Herald
on the 18th inst., present some novel phenom-
ena of great interest to science. The greatest
height attained by any mountain climber was
reached in 1856 by the brothers Schlagintwelt,
in Thibet, at 24,339 feet above the sea. But
Mr. Whymper, when on the snow capped
summit of Chimborazo last January, was
nearly as high and'oecupied one of the most
valuable points fo‘r observation on the globe.
The atmospheric conditions were peculiar.
Onthe 9th of January the temperature, at an
elevation of nineteen thousand feet, was'over
seventy—two degrees, and “thunder ' and
lightning," he says, occurred round about
our camps on all the days that we were on
the mountain." Lying almost on the Equa-
tor, as Chimborazo does, these observations
enable the geographer to' locate the great
aerial outflOw from the southern hemisphere
and to gauge its depth. The electrie‘condi-
tion of the air indicated unmistakably that
the strong and stormy :currant which
swept the summitfivas the great southeast
trade or “southern aerial Gulf stream,”
charged with moisture which it had borne
from the far off bosom of the South Atlantic
heights leaves no question that its volume as
it enters our hemisphere in winter is no less
than twenty thousand feet deep. At a low
calculation the :atmospheric stream thus
gauged and found to be abdut four miles
vertically must be at least as bread as the
South American continent, or two thousand
five hundred miles in an east to west direc—
tion. No fact in the physics of the earth is
more significant than the influence which
the Southern Hemisphere, through this enor-
mous current, so potential in affectingthe
barometric, thermomctric and aqueous condi~
lions, exerts upon our hemisphere and especi-
ally upon the North American continent.
Mr. Whymper does not give his barometric
notes, but it seems not improbable that his
immunity at thesummit from the intense
fatigue and bleeding of the nose which in
1802 overcame .Humbolt at only sixteen
caused in January by the vertical sun agency
in the South Atlantic, expelling its superin-
cumbent air northward to be_ massed, over
the equatorial part of the Andean chain. In
the gradual and systematic method of scaling
the great southern dome, Mr. Whymper leis-
urely achieved his remarkable success, and
has given alpine climbers a good illustration
of skillful exploration, conducted“ for thirty-
eight days at altitudes over fourteen thou-
sand feet above the ocean.

. A New Flute.
An English musician has invented a new
flute. He asserts that by doubling the last
four holes he has improved the tones of the
lower notes, while giving increased power,
ease and brilliancy to the instrument gener-
ally, and there is nothing more to pay for
these improvements. The material chiefly
used by the patentec for the head and body
is ebonite, a preparation of India rubber,
which possesses extraordinary sound produ—
cing properties. One of the great difficulties
of a flute has always been the third octave,
the fingering for which differs entirely from
the first or second octave; and the new flutes
are constructed in such a manner that'the
third octave can be as easily played with the
the same fingering as that employed for

“Breaking in a‘Nigger.”
Ntt far from the town of St. Michael's
there lived a man name Covey, 8 .P001' man,
who rented his land. and who enjoyed the
distinction of being a first-class breaker in of
young negroes—that is to say, he was known
to be a cruel task-master, exacting to a de-
gree, a giant in strength, and With great
tenacity of purpose. Possessing these quali-
ties, he had early. developed an aptitude for
bringing unruly young black men to their
senses, very much as some men develop a
talent for breaking in ungovernable horses.
Indeed, there is a very shrewd suspicion that
the methods employed by Mr. Covey to bring
black boys to submission were not dissimilar
to those employed by horse-breakers. So
noted was he in the direction indicated that
numerous slave-holders believed it to be a
positive advantage to give into his hands the
g0vernment of their slaves for a year or two,
that they might under his fostering care, be
trained up in the way they should go. They
were also sure of having ' their spiritual
welfare looked after, for Mr. Covey, like
many of his class, was a strict member of.
the church. It was to this man that high—
spiritcd yopng Frederick Douglass, on the
morning of the first day of January, 1884,
was conveyed to be broken in.
Speaking‘of that epoch in his history, Mr.
Douglass, with marked pathos. said:
“There was neither joy in my heart nor
elasticity in my step as I started in search of
*thc tyrant's home. Starvation made me glad
to leave my old master’s, and the cruel lash
made me dread to go to Covey’s. Escape
was impossible. So, heavy and sad, I paced
”the seven miles which separated Covey’s
house from St. Michael’s—thinking much—by
the solitary way. Like a fish in a net, al-‘-,
lowed to play for a time, I was now drawn
rapidly to the shore, secured at all points.
I thought, I am but the sport of a power
which makes no account of my welfare or
my happiness. By a law which I can'
clearly comprehend, but'cannot evadp or
resist, I am ruthlessly snatched from the
heart of a fond grandmother. and hurried
away to the home of a mysterious ‘old mas-é
blter.’ Again, I am removed from there to a‘
master in Baltimore; thence am I snatched
away to the Eastern Shore, to be valued
with the beasts of the field, and with them
divided and set‘ apart for a possessor; then
I am sent back to Baltimore, and by the time
I have formcdnew attachments and begun
to hope that no more troubled change shall
touch me, I am again broken up and sent to
St. Michael's, and now, from the latter place
I am footing my way home to a new master
where I am given to understand that, like
a wild young working animal, 1 am to be
broken to yoke of a bitter and lifelong bon-
dage.”
The young man’s anticipations of the lot
which was before him were not mistaken,
ones. He had not been'iu the possession of
Covey three days before, for some trumped—
up offense—no actual reason was assigned—
he was brutally beaten. Under the heavy
blows of the negro-breaker, blood fiOwed
from his back, and the wales left upon his
shoulders were as large as a man's finger.
The sores remaining from this flogging were
continually kept open by the 'rough and
coarse cloth which he was obliged to wear,
and for weeks afterwards the. young man
lived on suffering the keenest agony.
During the year which he remained with
Covey he was continually obliged to submit
to the same cruel treatment. As he says
himself, aching pains and a sore back were
his constant companions. But frequently as
the lash was used upon him, it was not Mr.
Covey’s only means of breaking his spirit.
Hard and long continued labor was also
brought into play. The boy worked steadily
up to the very last point of his endurance.
From the moment that day broke until black
darkness had set in he was kept hard at work
he forest. At certain seasons of the year
be, together with all the other hands, were
kept in. the fields, sometimes as late as 11 and
12 o'clock at night, and all the time they were
urged to extra exertionby the smarting lash
of a rawhide whip.
Regarding his experience with the brute
who at this time had control of him Mr.
Douglass in later years wrote:
“If at any one time of my life more than
another‘I was made to drink the bitterest‘
dregs of slavery. that time was during the
first six months of my stay with Mr. Covey.
We were worked. in all weathers. It was
fplowing in the fields or hauling wood from
rain blow, snow, or ball too hard for us to
work ,in the field. Work, work, work, was
scarcely more the order of the day than of
the night. The lOngest days were too short
for him. I was somewhat unmanageable
when I first went there, but a few months of
this discipline tamed me. Mr. Covey suc-
ceeded in breaking me. I Was broken in
body, soul, and spirit. My natural elasticity
was crushed; my intellect languished; the
disposition to read departed; the cheerful
spark that lingered about my eye died; the
dark night of slavery closed in upon me,
and behold! a manltransformed into a brute !
' “Sunday was my only leisure time. I
spent this in a sort Of beast-like stupor, be—
tween slecp and wake, under some large tree.
At times I would rise up, a rush of energet-
ic freedom would dart through my soul,
accompanied with a faint beam of hope that
flickered for a moment and then vanished.
I sank doWn again mourning over my
wretched condition. I was'sometimes prompt-
ed to take my life and that of Covey’s, but
was prevented by a combination of hope and
fear. My sufieringson this'plantat'ion seem
now like a dream rather than a stern reality.
“Our house stood within a few rods of
the Chcspeake Bay, whose broad bosom was
ever white with sails from every quarter of
the globe. These beautiful vessels robed in
purest white, so delightful to thekeyc of
fréemen, were to me so many shrouded
ghosts, to terrify" and torment me with
thoughts of my .wretched condition. I have
often, in the deep stillness of a Summer
Sabbath, stood alone upon the banks of that
noble bay, and traced with saddened heart
and tearful eye the countless number of sails
moving off to the mighty ocean. The sight
of these always affected me powerfully. My
thoughts would compel utterance: and there
with no audience but the Almighty, I would
pour out my soul‘s complaint in my rude way
with an apostrophe to the moving mulitude
of ships. My thought was: .
“You are loosed from your moorings an
free; I am fast in my chains, and am a
slave. You move merrily before the gentle
gale, and. I sadly before the bloody whip.
You are freedom’s swift-winged. angels that

that I were _on one of your gallant decks and

born a man of whom'to make a brute? Thc

tance. Iam left in the hottest hell of un—
ending slavery! Ob, God, save mel God
deliver me! Let me be free! Is there any
God? Why am I aslave? I will run away.
I-will not stand it. Get caught or get clear,
I’ll try it. I have only one life to lose. I

Hopeful as were these conclusions which.
the boy wisely drew from his dark surround-
ings, they were not sufficient to sustain him
in the greater trials which @1ch afterward
put upon him.
a virtue. even in a slave, and the boy, 80"de
almost to madness, and caring nothing for
the results, escaped from “the breaking in
farm" and returned to brave the anger of his
owner. This he found greater even than he
had expected, and “,before many days had
elapsed he was once :more placed in the
possession of his cruel task-111351”. But he
came back to Covey’s with a new Spirit.
Patience at last ceased to be
He made up his mind that, come what might
he would be flogged no more: Like that
other slave who was told of in the history of
the time, he was determined that those who
had power over him might kill but that they
should not beat him. Covey was equally
determined, as the result proved,- that he
should be flogged within an ,inch of his life,
and upon the very first opportunity he un—
dertook to perform the task. Hardly had he
laid hands upon Douglass, however. when
the powerful young slave turned upon hiln
seized him suddenly by the throat and hurled
him to the ground. There he held him, his
nails buried deep in the ,white cravens flesh
and the red blood of his vanquished tormen-
tor flowing all about.
“You mean to resist me, you scoundrel '2”
asked the negro breaker.
“Yes," was the calm reply of the slave.
A desperate fight ensued. Covey cried
lastly for help, but could secure none, and
at last gave up the -unequal contest, and
during the remainder of the time that Doug-
lass ren‘laiucd on his farm, dreading a repe—
tition of the scene, he treated him with markn
ed consideration.
The result of the first fight and victory
over a white man was to fix in the heart of
the slave a firmer determination to be a free
man. Indeed, it was only a few months
afterward that he made an attempt to escape.
It was not successful, however, and as the
incidents connected with it were neither
interesting nor important no extended no—
tice of it need be made. It ii only neceSSary
to say that young Douglass lived through all
the hardships which he was obliged to en—
dure at the nigger-breakers,” and subse-
quently, because of, changes in the family
of his :owner, he was again sent to Baltimore
this time to' be the chattel of a gentleman
named Auld. Here his condition was very
much improved, and he_ was enabled to con -
tinue in secret. the studies in Which he had
formerly engaged. After a time he was ap—
prenticed to a ship carpenter, and after he
learned the trade, was permitted to hire
”himself out, the only restraint upon him be-
ing that he was oblidged to give to his mas- .
ter the greater part of the mossy which he
earned. Still he was comparatively comfor~
table at this time of his life, and were it not .
for many petty indignities which were con—
tinually being put upon him, he might have
been in a measure contented. But these
indignities, and the thought that he was a
slave to be sold, bartered, traded'ofi, and
maltreated :at the pleasure of people whom
he began to know were in no intellectual
gift his equals, so plagued him that he would
gain his freedom—gain it even though, he
should do so at the risk of his life. This
resolution be lost no time in putting into
execution, and he succeeded.
'(To be continued.)
Uncle Aaron’s Rat Trap.
Uncle Aaron lived near Hartford, and was
a matter—of—fact man. His barn and out-
houses fairly swarmed with rats, and Uncle
Aaron was telling a friend from another
town, who was visiting at his house, how he
was troubled by rats and how he had seen a
hundred at least at a time. The friend
laughingly told him a hundred was a good
many rats, and begged him to take off a few.
Uncle Aaron replied that he was fixing a
trap, and if his friends wOuld wait a few
days he would show them a haul of rats
which would convince them that he was not
lying. _
“All right,” answered his friend; “if you
will catch anywhere near a hundred just let
me know." ‘ '
Uncle Aaron, too,said _“all right ;” adding,
“I’ll let you know." . ~
When his friend started for home the last
thing he said was: “Be sure andlet me know
how many rats you catch. A hundred is a
good many. - -
The trap Uncle Aaron was at work on w
a sort of platform almost as large as a big
barn door,aud the plan was to weight it with
heavy rocks, raise one end about three feet
(from the floor, and have it so rigged that the
pull of a liking would spring it and let it fall
to the floor, making it decidedly uncomfort-
able for any living thing that might happen
to be under it. After arranging it to his
mind he began to bait it. He threw meal all
around and under the trap, and went to a
place conveniently near and watched things.
He did not wait long before be counted
at least twenty rats busily investigating the
meal. But they did not go under the plat—
form. This was kept up for several days,
and after awhile the patient watcher, who
spent an hour or two every day in'secing.
them manoeuvre, had the satisfaction of see-
ing several of the rats venture under the trap.
Then he knew his trap would be a success.
Hecould pull the string almost any time of
the day and catch a dozen or twenty, but he
was “lying low" for a bigger haul. The
upraised platform was no longer a- terror to
the animals. They fool: the bait- from under
.it as readily as could be desired. Finally
Uncle Aaron thought the time was ripe to
pull the string. He had not baited it the
night before, so the rodents would have a ‘
keen appetite when he sprinkled cheese
crumbs and meal that morning. After doing
this he took up his position and waited.
First one rat—a sort of pioneer—came glid-
ing out and began to partake of the feast.
Next apair came out; then three or four,
then a dozen. They came from all directions.
Uncle Aaron was actually trembling with
excitement. He could hardly keep his hand
from pulling the string. But he waited until .
the space under the platform seemed fairly
alive with the creatures; and then—he pull—
ed. Down went the heaVy platform with
aerash. A number of the rats were seen
scampering off; but Uncle Aaron felt confi-
dent thatghe had nailed some of ’em. As he
came up he saw the heads and tails protrud—
ing, and he thought he would give them all
a good square_ehanc‘e to die before he raised
the trap. He waited till night, and then he
lifted it. He counted 122 dead rats—Hart-
