Fir Extinguishers. - For many years steaiu. jets have been con eider ed excellent means for extin guiBhing fires in inclosed spaces, and examples of their, good, services have been abundant. The theory of their ao tion of course is, like that of the several Kinds of fire extinguishing powders which have been proposed at different times, that the steam in the one case and the stifling fames fronxtbe powders in the other displace the air in any par ticnlar space under consideration, and with it the oxygen as well, by which alone combustion can be sustained. v In at least one instance, however, the position was" taken that if the steam jets did not extinguish a fire promptly tney soon became a source, oi danger, and aa such were ) held accountable for the loss about a .year, ago of a cargo steamer oarrying several hundred tons of coal and as many more of miscel lantoua chemicals and old rope. Fire broke out in one of the holds, which were fitted with steam jet fixtures, and the jets were at once turreu on. On the Hay following i it was proposed to try a hose in addition to tne jets, ana one or the upper decx . hatches was therefore, taken pfff , The almost immediate result was a violent explosion, killing one of ' the officers and seriously injuring, another. All the other hatches were blown off at the same time, and the ship began to 1 leak, so that she soon had to be aban- doned. une'expianation advanced was wbi ioe eieam irom tna jew, passing over the incandescent cargo, formed water eas. which, with suitable air ad- mixtnrA. tinname BrtiloRivB. i with tha result noted, a The theorv is not a com-1 forting one, but whether it 'portrays a possible condition of things yet remains to be demonstrated.--Cassier a Maga zine. EASY. FOR MORPHY. A Story of tle Great Chess Master i and n Celebrated Palatlna On reading ,, the notes on PauI Mor phy's visit to Philadelphia I am re minded of an incident in connection Witn nls visit to Kicnmond about tne same time, which was related to met some years ago by the Rev Mr. H. of that city. I do not remember ever to have seen It in print. Mr. Morpby was Mr..H.'s guest while I in the city, and on bis arrival was first ushered into the library,' and bis attention was at once attracted , by a painting over the man tel. which was a fine copy of. a cele brated painting representing a game of chess between a young man , and the devil, the stake being the young man's sonl. The artist had most graphically de picted the point in the game where it was apparently the young man's move, and he seemed just to realize the - fact that be bad lost tne game, tne agony of despair being shown in every line of his features and attitude, while the . devil from the opposite side of the table gloat ed over him with fiendish delight. .The position of the game appeared utterly hopeless for the young man, and Mr. H. said he had often set. it up and studied it with bis chess friends, and ail agreed tne. young man's game was certainly lost.. ;. " t Mr. Morpby walked up to the picture and studied it for several minu tee, when finally, tnrning to Mr. H4 be said:': MI can win the game for the young man. ..',, Mr. II. was of course astonished and said.; "iit possible?" - Mr 'Moipby replied, "Get out the men and board and let us look at it." une position was 6et up, and in a lew rapid moves he demonstrated a complete I win for the young man, and 'the devil was checkn ated.

Yonkers Statesman. ' Did 'Dr. Jobasoa Cat Horse t . ' Dr. Johnson in bis journal mentions the interesting fact that he had on a certain day had "palfrey for , dinner," Mow tbese three wordn have caused not little trouble to the , critics, and for this reason, that they know not what palfrey really is. It has been suggested that palfrey is a clerical error made by the doctor himself for pastry, but the doctor wrote so legibly, and there is so much difference between the words pal frey and pastry that this position is not at all tenable. '. . ..- . Palfrey is defined in Johnson's cele brated dictionary as "a small horse fit for ladies, 'I and some have thought that the doctor (whose, feats as a trencher man were notorious) may bate broken a record on the day in question and dis posed of a small, horse. . All these and other conjectures are wrong, and we will proceed to give the correct explana tion. ' . The word palfrey (sometimes pamfrey by the interchange of 1 and m) is still in nse among the ( rustics of Scotland and the north of Ireland, and means young cabbages when they first come to table In the spring. Such cabbages have not begun to "close" or become solid in the center. They are generally spoken of as "early pamfrey" and are considered a luxury. Dr. Johnson probably picked up the word from bis friend Boswell or from aoma other Scotch acquaintance. Notes and Queries. Sir Colin Campbell., Bussian horsemen were coming on fast, and a grim silence fell on the higblandera. Then, as the beat of the hostile troops sounded deeper and loud er, a curious quiver ran down the long two deep line of the Ninety-third. The men were ; eager to-run forward and charge. 'Ninety-third.Ninety-third V ' rang out the fierce vofce of Sir Colin Campbell. "D n all that eagerness!" He had previously ridden down the line and told his soldiers: "Remember, there is bo retreat from here, men. You must die where you stand." And from the kilted privates came the cheerful anewer, "Aye, aye, Sir Colin; we'll do that!" ; The Russians were now within range, and the fire of the higblandera rang out sudden and sharp. A few horses and men came tumbling down, and the Rus sian cavalry wheeled instantly to the left, threatening the right flank of the higblandera. : Campbell, a cool and keen soldier, saw the skill of this movement. "Sbadwell," he said, tnrning to his aid-de-camp, ; "that man understands bis business." So, too, did Campbell, who instantly deflected bis line so as to protect bis right, and met the ad vance with a destructive volley, before wnicn tne Russian norsemen . at once fell back.- Cornhill Magazine. Rained by Males.' M. P.. Le Grand, an Alabama farmer, says that many negroes in the south are mined by mules, and he thinks he has proved it. He owns a great deal of farm land, which be rents to negroes on con dition that they shall do their work with an ox instead of a mule. As a re sult all his tenants are prosperous and pay their rent promptly. The ox, be ex plains, is entirely capable in all the re quirements of the cotton patch, but be has bis limitations, and his colored mas ter does not think of mounting him and riding off on useless errands or pleasure trips. As the negro cannot ride fo dis tant churches, cake walks or "hoe downs," and as be will not walk, he goes to bed and is rested and ready for labor in the morning. So far as the Inference from this ex periment goes, the negro, plus a mule, is a shiftless and unreliable citizen, but eliminate the mule and substitute an ox, and he becumeB regular ' in bis hab its, businesslike and prosperous.
