oo Sunday morning by . the Rev. Mr.
Hand (Methodist) as the only one of

From time immemorial pickled cab"
bije has been denounced by doctors as
outrageously indigestible. ' Of late,
however, that dietetic preparation has
Erown to be quite respectable. It has
risen to the dignity of an alkaloid pro'
dacer. M. Tuyapogu has isolated the
substance, and finds that it suppresses
the delirium due to a prolonged use of
alcohol. So the whiskey seller, in pla
cing pickled cabbage upon his lunch
table, has been'for years unconsciously
engaged in providing his guests with
proper scientific treatment.

Enelish law makes a difference be
tween ordinary lectures and those de

recently decided, on appeal, at Glas

if he pleases, without the consent of
the professors. The lectures are con
sidered public property. '

A Natural Curiosity, .
We saw a wonderful curiosity this

Front street, in the shape of a puppy
which bail no forelegs. There were
two well formed hind legs but; not a
vestige of anything of the kind in front.
There were three pups in ; the litter

is still alive and one (that' showed us

A Rough Passage.
The steamship Benefactor ; Capt. Tri
bon.which arrived here to-day frpmNew
York, had a fearfully rough passage.
She left New York on Sunday last, and
experienced a very heavy gale on Sun
day night and Monday, which died oat
on Monday night. During this gale
one of the crew was washed overboard,
but. fortunately, with the next roll of
the vessel he was washed on board
again and rescued from a watery grave.
Tuesday commenced with calm, fair
weather, but it soon began lo breeze
up, with the wind from E. S. E.. which
soon increased to very squady weather
wlth"thisk7 roUing . clouds overhead.
Passed Cape Hatteras at bair pasc a
o'clock Tuesday . afternoon and at C
o'clock on that night ho re to on the
port tack, the ship laboring heavily and
shipping heavy seas. The day close-
ed with heavy squalls and a dir
ty cross sea running which
caused the vessel to labor very much.
On Wednesday there was a severe gale
all day accom pained by torrents or
rain. The sea ran mountains high and
the ship labored very heavily, shipping
an abundance of water. On Wednes
day night the main stays were carried
away and the ship was in imminent
peril of being dismasted. Thursday
morning the weather began to moderate
andtheiib apd mainsail were set and
the vessel headed for the land, she
having been blown by the gale nearly
to the Easterly edge of the Gulf Stream
and to the Northward of Hatteras, so
that she passed that Cape three times
in making the passage. The weather
continued to moderate through the
entire day, and for the remainder of the
passage they had good weather. It was
rumored here that she bad 16 passengers
on board, but she had only two.
Tlio December Skies.
The heavens will be alive with inter
esting events among our celestial neigh
bors, the planets, during this month.
The moon occults Jupiter and Uranus
on the same morning, and hides from
view the star Aldebaran on another
occasion. A telescopic view of the oc
cnltation of Jupiter presents a scene of
wondrous beauty. The prince of
planets, surrounded by bis beaming
satellites, seems to plunge headlong
into the moon's domain, and to be sud"
denly blotted from the sky. It is only
for a short time. He soon reappears
as majestio and stately as ever, pursu
ing his course among the stars, and
soon, with his companions, to disappear
in the coming daylight. The opposition
of Saturn is a noteworthy event on
the monthly record. There are also
the quadratures of Mars. Jupiter and
Uranus, the greatest eastern elongation
of Venus, and the inferior conjunction
of Mercury. Mars holds a conference
with Regains, and Jupiter draws near
to Eta Virginis.
The sun crowns the month with two
great events. On the 31st he reaches
the winter solstice, when' he turns his
smiling face northward, and ? gives
promise of the brighter days and more
gentle breezes that will surely follow
his approaching steps. On the 30th the
sun is in perigree, or at his ' nearest
point to the earth, being 3,000,000 miles
nearer than when most distant, thus
tempering the severity of winter in bur
northern climes.
