‘ ROBINSON CR' USOE’S ISLAND.
A correspondent of the Rochester Democrat
writes : The sun was bathing the beautiful
island with a flood of golden light, as we
neared its picturesque harbor. In little boats
we went ashore and landed in the primitive
manner of running the boat aground and
pulling the beat up on tEo shore. in ' was
difficult to realize that we were, indeed, on
this historical, mysterious island that im-
agination ha'd pictured from Childhood’s
early hours in so many fanciful forms. The
books tell yOu that it was on this lovely island
that, in 1704, the celebrated English navi‘
gator, Da‘mplcr, lauded his coxwain, Alex-
under Selkirk, with whom he had quarrelled,
alldaeft hil'n‘allone on this uninhabited spot
with a small quantity of provisions and tools.
Here he lived four years, till he was picked
up‘ by a passing ship and brought back to
Europe. It was from the notes he made
during his , solitary residence that Daniel
.Defoe composed his incomparable work of
“Robinson Cruesoe. ” No book, doubtless,
ever held the childish interest with greatcr‘
fascination than that which describes his
wanderings on this mysterious and enchanted
island. . That‘whicll had always seemed bllt
a dreamy romance was now before you. The
scene's where all the wild and wondcrous ex-
peribn‘ces were described are just at hand,
and'you wander on, as it,’ vere, but just
aroused from a fanciful dream. Perchance
it was on this sandy beach along which you
wander that Crusoe first discovered the foot-
prints of his good man Friday. -
The island isabout seven Spanish leagues .
in circumference, or a trifle over twenty Eng-
lish miles. It belongs to Chili, and for a
nr'lmlser of 'yearsthe Government used it as
a place for transporting convicts, till one
night all the prisoners arose in their power,
kill'cdgipheifr hoppers“, and taking the only ‘
boats Elfin the island .Vs‘ailed away and were
never heard of more. Of late years the.
Government has leased the island to one
man who pays something like $2, 000 a year '
for its use. This man has a small colony of
workmen whom he employs in cutting tim-
ber, drying fish and goat skins and sending
thorn every few months inlarge quantities to
’the mlirkets in Valpariso.' There are to be
found in the waters about the island lobsters
of a peculiar kind and enormmisz-sizc. Some
of these measure from two to ‘four feet in
l‘gth Every variety of fish in great abund-
ance seems to swarm about this lone island.
It is agreat resort for whalers, who put in
here for a few days :to supply themselves
with fresh water and with fisli, poultry and
game, which they obtain at marvelously low
prices from the sovereiguruler of the island.
Many years ago two lone, lorn goats were
brought to the island and their families and
children have increased so rapidly that to-
daythousands and tens of thousands of these
new afctobe found in every part of the
island. Large munbcrs Of them are shot
each year, and their dried skinfisold in Val-V
pauliso are a source of large income ’ to the
lessee of the land. '

across the throat and the men across the

DEPRAVITY 0F CHURCH (31101323.
There are very few church choirs that
have any ideas of proper piety or pious
propriety. A considerable step was gained
when the baize curtain which used to con—
cenl the wicked doings of choirs from the
congregation was removed, but that there is
,still plenty of room for amelioration is well
known to every one who is acquaint; d with
choirs.
- What it is that makes choirs so depraved,
is a mystery. It is certainly not the place,
for that is sacred in all its surroundings and
associations. It is not because they are
hired servants. The minister also is hired,
and while now and then a minister goes to
the bad it is not because of his wage. Bo-
sides, volunteer choirs are often much more
depraved than paid choirs. It cannot be
the organ, for the organ, unlike other in-
struments is essentially very solemn. Fiddles
are notoriously wicked, as well as clarionets
and trombones, and even a little piccolo is
as full of evil as it can hold, while a bass'
drum never yet had 'its internal villainy
beaten out ot'it. But an organ never

does not go out into the great world. It is
always in church, even when it is idle, and
organists are always prppor people. It may
be due in some sort to the music which is
performed, for nine-tenths of the tunes
which are set to sacred words are taken from
operas and wordly music. It is curious
also that the choir is not wholly given over
to evil ways. It is usually the soprano and
tenor who make the mischief. Altos as a
ruleare quiet and demun, like the parts
they sing, and never put On airs like the
sopranos, while bassos are always rigidly
proper. They never have temptations.
They are not objects of interest to the fe-
male sex._ They are regarded as a little
heavy and conservative, and have usually
reached a maturity-of age that removes
them from frivolties. On the operatic stage
they always take the part of foiled villains
and ancient fathers. The tenors and so-
pranos are the airy birds of the flocks, and
if there are any improper doings it is ten to
one they are concerned in them. This is
always so on the stage. They are always
up to mischief, and they are always thwarted -
by the altos and bassos. It is the Leonoras
who are alwaysin a scrape and the Don
some one or other in gaudy apparel who
gets them into it and is ultimately slain by
the double bass in seedy raimcnt. So "with

UNDERGROUND 1N SAN FRANCISCO.
A correspondent of a. Philadelphia paper
writes : The “ Highbindcrs" seem to be a
sort of Chinese Thug, and the weapon they
employ is a short, rgund bar of iron with a
basket hilt. It looks like a broken-off single
stick, but, as wielded by them, is very deadly.
The blow is generally given at the back of
the neck. The guide r'egalcd us with an ac-
count of the finding of one of the “ High-
binders" victims a few days before, and then
took us into a cellar in which be suspected
some of the murderers were. ,Two floors
underground, ina narrow, torturous pass-
age, the rats running over my feet, and the
only light a flickering candle held by Choy,
it may be imagined we kept pretty close to-
gether. On arriving at a doorway the
magic “Amona” soon gained as admittance,
and we stood in a room about nine feet long
by six wide. On the right-hand side were
four bunks, one above the other, with less
heighth between them than is usual in tho
forecastle of a ship. Across the end of the
room were four more bunks, leaving clear
space only at the side of the right-hand row.
Each of the berths had an occupant, and
here, nearly eighteen feet under ground, in
aspacc not so large as an ordinary state-
room, with foul smells arising from the
saturated ground, which was the only floor-
ing, and with rats so numerous and frequent-
visitors as not to be thought worth noticing,
lay eight hun'mn beings. Some werc'asleep,
some were smoking opium, and some to-
bacco from little pipes which only holda
pinch of the weed and are exhausted in two
or three whifis. The air was almost intoler-
able. Yet the Chinese live and thrive in it.
A dreadful hole, known as the Hospital of
the “ Last Chance,” is supported by the Six
Companies. Our visit was made at about
3 o’clock in the morning, and because the
villainous-looking attendant delayed some
lime in opening the door the detective boxed

Chinese are brought to die. They get.no
medical attention. Upon the wooden floor,

consumption; by his side was some food
and a cup of tea. The attendant explained
that if the patient felt better he turned over
and took his food ; if not he kept his face to
the wall anddied. In a shed built out from
the room were some trestles supporting

CURIOSITIES OF THE PATENT OFFICE.

An English journal pays a flattering
tribute to American intelligence when it re-
marks that “agoodperccntage of the in-
ventions are of American origin. In that
country of geniuses everybody invents.”-
Yet there is a ridiculous side to the question.
Some of the applicants for patents create a
laugh at their expense if they do not get the
protection of the government for their in-
ventions. One man claims protection for
the application of the Lord’s Prayer, rc~
posted in a loud voice, to. cure stam'mering.
Another asks protection in behalf of 9. new
and useful attachment of a weight to a cow's
tail to prevent her switching it during the
milking operation. A lady patented a hair
crimping pin, vwhich‘sho specified might
also be used as a paper cutter, a skirt sup-
porter, a‘ child’s pin, a bequet holder, a
shawl fastener, or a book-mark. A “horse
refresher"is a hollow pit perforated with
holes, and connected with a flexible tube,
with a water reservoir in the vehicle, so that
the driver can give the animal a drink with:

SIMPLIWZTION.
In ordinary conversation We find people
apt to indulge’ln puzzling words, even
though they may have no special desire to
appear learned. The dentist who assured a
lady that her teeth were " a perfect study in,
conchology,” meaning that they were all
shells, anthhe school girl who alluded to an
old sailor as an “ancient chloride of so-
ldinm," are but examples of the tendency
of thg times. Too often the sermon of the
preacher and the prescription written by the
doctor are alike made of mysterious words.
The sermons are jaw-breaking phylaoteries,
and the prescription bewildering Latin. in-
tended to defeat and astound the reason of
simple-minded folk. Simplest words are
always best. Eage and graceinwxiting or
speaking are thus attained, and one need
never-fear to be considered unlettered bc-‘

! LOTTO-PLAYERS AND DREAMS.
l _.-_ . .
Lotto-players rely on chance circum-
stances, omons, and dreams for the num-
bers they desire to play. Thus, if a. bull
were to break loose from five men, to run
38 paces, and to stop opposite ahouSs the
number of which was 96, the spectators
would rush to the nearest bank and lay
their money on 5, 38, 96. In the some
’ way, if they were to dream of numbers,
they would at once backthem. The mis-
fortlulc is that neither circumstances nor
dreams are generally so clear as the ex-
amples above given. But the genius of
the nation has been equal to the Occasion.
Various books have been published,
several of a formidable size, which un-
dertake to reduce everything one can
possibly see, or, more especially, dream
of, to a number for the purposes of the
game. The present writer was once com-
pelled to pass two days in a. village inn
where the only literature attainable was
to discover on what principles the' num-
bers were arranged, but could find 'none.
This may have been the fault of his own
dullness, for when he came to look a
little further be found abundant reason to
admire the ingenuity of the author. He
cannot guarantee the correctness of the
details or the numbers ;. but, on the
whole, the impression he gives is, he be-
lieves, correct. You have dreamed of a,
tree, and turn to the infallible oracle: a
tree is 9, but a dead tree is 37, and a
green ono40; so far all is clear; but
then a leafless tree is 90. Who but a
bofilnist of the most inveterate kind can
digtinguish a dead from a leafless tree
when he is dreaming?‘ But this is not
all. Every fore-fit tree known in Italy
has its own peculiar number, and so if
you have dreamed of a. Winter land-
scape you are left to decide, not only the
difficult question whether it was a sim-
ple, a. dead or a leafless tree that ap-
peared to you in the visions of the night,
but also whether it was oak, beach,
chestnut, or some species whose name
you never heard. Your suucess depends
upon your choice, and if you lose your
money your neighbors will soon discover
that it is you, not the book,.that is to
blame. It is still more diverting, how-
ever, to discover that a single number
represents your stepmother, a pancake,
a girafl'e, Napoleon I., and a frog croak—
l'llg,1lpon a stone. In a word, it is the
very exactness of the book that renders
it at once so mysterious and so infallible.

THE BOY AND THE llIONIiEYo
Mr. Frank Bllckland, in ”Notes and
Jottings of Animal Life," tells a curious
anecdote of a child he met with when in-
specting the Coquct in Northumberland,
who, having been taken to see a pantomime
in which there was a scene of a forest in-
habited by monkeys, was so impressed that
“ the next morning be imagined himself to
be a monkey.” He would not speak, would
not sit at table, blit insisted on eating out
of a plate placed on the ground, by which
he L‘i'OilcllCll on all fours. If anything to
cat was presented to him he always put it to
his nose and smelt it before eating it. This
curious monkey-fit lasted several weeks but
the idea gradually passed out of his head.
‘ A following paper contains an anecdote of
Joe, the chimpanzee, who was living in the
zoological gardens some twelve years ago.
He used to be let out in the morningfor 9.1:-
crcise, and when the' time came for going
back in the cage delighted in keeping just
out of reach of Sutton, his keeper. “ No
amount of bribery of" fruits or sweets would
cause him to descend from his perch. To
what passion of a monkey’s mind could on
appeal be made, and in what form was that
appeal to be presented ?” Mr. Bartlett, the
superintendent. had observed that two weak

cowardice ; and he, therefore, approached
the keeper in some mysterious manner, and
pretended to point out to him some strange

1mm [11‘ on A STANDING-“TREE.
Any person, however ill informed,
might easily get at. the exact height of a
tree when the sun shines, or during
bright moonlight, by .marking two lines
on the ground, three feet apart, and then
placing in the ground on the line nearest
tothe sun 8. stick that shall stand ex-
actly three feet out of the soil. When
the end of the shadow of the stick ex-
actly toucheslshe furthest line, then also
the shadow of the tree will be exactly in
length the same measurement as its
height. Of course, in such a case, the
sun wt be at an egact. angle _of forty-
five degrees. Measurements of this
character could be best effected ill the
summer, when the sun is powerful, has
reached to a good heightvin the heavens,
and when the trees are clothed with living
green so as to cast a dense shadow.‘ To
many to whom this idea may not have
Occurred, it might be made annually a
matter of interest thus on warm summer
days to take the height of prominent
trees, and soto compare growth from
Year to year.

THE MISSISSIPPI.
Some idea of the vastness of this .lliL-he
Sepe, as the Indians called the Missil-
sippi, may be gained from a statement
which I quote from a recent article.
“Its length from Lake Itasca to the
Gulf of Mexico is more than one-eighth
the distance round the world; its basin
exceeds a million square milgs." Never-
theless no idea of beauty can be attached
to the lower part of thisFather of Waters,
'with its low-lying banks; even .the
majesty of its breath is lost sight of as
one glides through it, brown and turbid,
and watches waves of liquid mud roll
from the bow of the boat. Dickens has
told us of the sluggish, filthy river,
whose turbid and loathsome waters
brought disease and death \to the poor
settlers at Eden. But though he in no
way exaggerated the foul appearance of
the water, and believed in calling it
filthy he was correct, it is probably more
free from actual filth than many a river
of bright running water. '

THEY JOINED. '
Agood story comes from an Anglo-
Indian station. A sub-lieutenant took
sick leave and spent his leisure in steps
preliminary to getting married. The
'Colonel heard of. the indistn'etion and
peremptorily telegraphed; “John at
once.” With the fatal ordgr in his hand
the youth proceeded to say farewell to
his betrothed. But the young lady was
more intelligent in military matters. “I
am glad that the Colonel approves the
mate ,” she said; “but why is he in
such a hurry? " The sub-lieutenant was
still too literal for the fair one, who had
further to explain that “join at once”
~meaut “marry immediately." The re-
sult was that in forty-eight hours the
Colonel received the following reply per
telegraph: “Your orders are obeyed.
We were joined at once.”

VENETIAN WOMEN.
/
Says the author of "‘ Life on the La-
goons : ” I donot know why thowomen
of the Venetian popoiihave acquireda
reputation for a. certain elasticity 'of
morals—unless it has been given them
by those who wished to find it so. The
reputation is not deserved, nor fairly
based. The costume of the city has always
been in favor of a quasi-Oriental treat-
ment of ,women. The wife's place is in-
doors; she has no business to be out at
all without her husband, or a very geod
reason. .Even in her own house she will
not stay in the room where her husband
has his friends to supper, unless there be
four or five other women to keep her
company—fin which casethey all" sit to-
gether at the foot of the table. If ‘ there
are no other women present, the wife
will retire to the kitchen, and join in tlie
conversation at the top of her voice from
that safe and invisible retreat. For the
rest, the women of the quarter keep one
another in'order. Each one knows very
well that all her neighbors would be down
upon her, and that she dare hardly ap-
pear in the streets if she made a notori-
ous false step. So the wife stays at
home, and very likely till her own chil-
dren begin to arrive 8116 will have her
mother—or her “madonna,” her mother-
ill-law—to look after. or some old relation
of her - ' gulps. One of thqpleas-
ute'st‘tfnits in the venetian character is
their affection for old people and babies.
it is a beautiful sight to see the tender-
pass with which these great big fellows
carry their infants in their arms. To
their coevals they are often harsh, unjust,
ready to take advantage, considering that
these should be able to protect them--

rarely fails to receive respect and gentle-
lie. 5 at their hands. .
‘JOKING WHILE UNDER FIRE.
' In the midst of danger soldiers are some-
times prone to jest andlaugb, and even play
practical jokes on each other, as the follow-
illg anecdotes will show : During the trench
work before Sebastopol there was a certain
nlan in the regiment who disliked being on
into what he considered the safest corner of
the trench, and remained there as long as he
could. The bugler of his company, a
malicious urchin; soon found this out, and
was constantly in the habit of playing tricks
to frighten his cautious comrade. He would '.
peep over the parapet and call out “A
roll himself together like a ball. . At other
times he would call out “A shell !" of
which he knew the man had a mortal dread;
and when he saw him throw himself flat on
the ground, he would take a piece of earth
or stone and throw it close 'to his recumbent
friend’s head, and then run up and comfort
him by showing him a bit of an old shell
which he had picked up for the purpose, re- ‘
marking at the same time,—
“ That was a near thing, man."
All the men knew and enjoyed the joke,
and sometimes roared with laughter ; but it
was well for the urchin thathisfriend never
found him out. This same man was really
wounded afterward, and while the bullet
was being removed from beneath the skin of
and the moment the bullet was extracted—a
small spherical Lonea-t'he boy. held out to his
frienda six pound cannon ball, saying,—
“Sec what the doctor has cut out o’ye !"
This occurred while the heavy fire was _
going on around.
W.
WONDERFUL WHEAT FIELDS. -
The Richmond (Ky.) Herald says that a
party in Kingston were telling yarns of wheat
fields. One man related: “I have seen fields
so thickly grown, and with such heads, that
the cradlcrs could throw their hats in front
of them and they would lie on top of the
wheat until out up to." “Oh, that’s
nothing,” said Uncle Jimmy Maupin. "I
raised a field once that was so good and
thick that a squirrel could run across without
breaking through." Townsend, the Direc-
tory map, tells one that beats them all.
. While Mayor of Mississippi he went out with
Governor Lowry to look at a field of wheat,
They got on top of. the fence to look over the
field, when the chernor's hat blew’ofi, and
rolling along the top of the grain lodged
about sixty feet ofi. Townsqld ordered his
dog, which was of the retriever variety, tc go
in and get the hat, and the animal, running
on the grain, brought the hat to the Gov-
emor.

SPEAKING PLAIN.
There is sometimes “much ’too much"
ceremony between lovers-and sometimes
much too little; and quite as often one ex-
treme asthe other. How amusing it is to
meet a couple who have been, aighing a
twelve-month, hesitating at more words——

tance, ortbe sot proposals of papa’s and

HOW SCREWS ARE-MADE.
The process of making screws is a very
interesting one. The reign-largcwire
in' big coils is, by drawing 'througha
hole of less diameter than itself, made
the needed size. Then it 'gOcs into a
machine that, at one motion cuts it a
proper length and makes a head on it.
Then it is put into sawdust and " rattled"
and thus brightened Then the head is
shaved down smoothly to the proper size
and the nick put in at the same time.
After “rattling” again in the sawdust
the thread is cut by another machine,
and after another“ “rattling" and a
thorough drying the screws are assorted
by the head (the fingers of 1those who do
this move almost like lightning.) grossed
by weight and packed for shipment.
That which renders it possible form
chines to do all this is a little contrivancv
that looks and opens and shuts like a
goose’s bill, which picks up a single
screw ata time, carries. it where needed.
holds it until grasped by somethingelse.
and returns for another. This is one’ of
the most wonderful pieces of automatic
machinery ever seen, but it has done its
distinctive work at the rate of thirty-one
screws a. minute; altho'ugh this rate is.
only experimental as yet. Ninety-three
gross a day, however, has been the regu-
lar work Of one machine.
LINCOLN AS POSTMASTEB.
....._
Very few people, probably, are aware
that Abraham Lincoln was once a Post-
master at a country settlement called
New Salem, near Springfield, Ill". In
rummaging among some old papers in
the Post Office Department the other
day, the documents showing a settlement
of his accounts were found, and by re-
ference to the records it appears that on
the 7th of May, 1833, _when he was about
24'years old, he was appointed to suc-
ceed Isaac Christmau as Postmaster, and
filed a bond of $500, with N. Alley and
A. Trent as sureties.
He served from‘ that date till the 30th
of May, 1836,-but it was more than six
months before his accounts were settled.
there having been a dispute with the
Auditor of the Treasury, who finally do-
cided in Lincoln's favor, and a draft for
$208.36 was sent to him in care of the
Postmaster at Springfield, Ill.
The Post Office at New Salem was
abandoned, and the peow at the cross
roadswere compelled to go to Spring-
field for their mail, else Lincoln might
have served longer in the. post.‘ His
compensation for nearly four years
amounted to only $345.
THE ADIRONDACK WILDERNESS. '
The urgent necessity for protecting gen-
erally our present forests at the heads of all
important rivers, and, especially of preserv-
ina in its natural condition, the Adirondack
wilderness, the chief sources of the Hudson,
is now beginningto bewidely acknowledged.
The “ Scientific American” draws this pic-
tuie of some of the results which would
follow the continuance of the old system of
stripping the mountains by cutting down
the forests :— V .
_ “There is no question that the general
tecting forests would produce effects of the
most disastrous character to the valleys of‘
the streams'fiowing therefrom; creel. like
those which, during the put few months,
have brought death and desolation to so
many European river valleys. The rainfall
of the Adirondack region is great ; the drain-
ing slopes are steep; 9nd without the con-
trolling and restraining influence of the ex-
isting swamps and forests about their
sources, the rivers which drain this northern
wilderness would show only great and
sudden alterations of flooded and empty
channels, destructive at once, to the agri-
culture of their valleys, to the manu-
facturing interests that cluster along their
banks, and to the commerce of the Hudson"
thochannelof whiohhasalrcadybeen
in from unprotected hill slopes and other
spaces stripped of their original forests.”
