HARPER, C T.HANCOCK, - Proprietor. Local Reporter. Entered at Hie Fostnfficc at A'ew lierne . ?., cu xcoiid-dasi mutter. Farragut and Porter were the only two .American naval officers to hold the rank end title o( Admiral. "The rank will probably not be revived," opines the New York World, "until wchavc another war." Says the Philadelphh Retard: When . William Penn laid out Philadelphia he didn't lay out that in the year 1890 Philadelphia manufacturers would furn ish locomotives for a railway in the Holy Land to draw trains from Jafla to Jeru salem. I Robert Lonner is authority for the statement that in 1356 there was not a horse that had trotted a mile in 2;2C, and not over tweDty horses in the country in the 2:30 list. The great ehango which has occurred during the intervening years, notes the American Dairyman, is indicated by the fact that during the past year almost one thousand Borses were added to the already very large number who had covered a mile ib 2:30. The greatest record thu3 far Blade was iu 1S85, when Maud S. leached the wonderful speed ol a mile in 2:081. The railroad statistics of the United States furnish no end of interesticg fgurcs to those who care to investigate them. Nearly one hundred and sixty thousand miles of road are in actual peration, and these roads employ about three million people in various capacities. During the last year $1,000,000,000 was spent in railway freights, and, figuring upon a basis of 62,000,000 population, this would make $16 for every man, woman and child in the country. This sum would pay the national debt, or supply free education to all the children . in the country for a long period. The Sandwich Islanders believe, dc larcs the Chicago Ueruld, that Kala kaua was poisoned by the doctors and they feel very bitterly toward Colonel Baker, a friend and companion of tho King in hh illness, who, they think, should have made sure that the medicines administered to him contained no poison by first taking a dose of them himself. This was a duty due to Hawaiian royalty which the Colonel failed to pcrform,and though some very good reasons for it may be apparent to others, he will never be able to show the Sandwich Islanders why he should not have taken the alleged poison himself and saved the life fthc Kin. The proof of the adage that where there is a will there is a way to break it is seen in some statistics in a Boston legal journal. They show that in the United Stateslast year 4000 wilU were contested, 2400 of which were broken. Largo as they teem, there is no reason, confesses the Chicago Herald, to doubt the accuracy ef these figures. The contested will case ass become a familiar feature of every Probate Court, and the skill of lawyers in setting aside wills has become prover bial. Even the will of so subtle a law yer as Mr. Tilden was successfully con tested. The situation is an unfortunate ne for the man of wealth. At his death te can neither take his riches with him aorbe certain that they will be distributed afterward in accordance with the behests of his will. lias tho ancient city of Moscow, Rj3 sia, gone down on its knees to tho Mer- chant Jermokoff? This is the question :-. ow agitating Moscow society. It seems ( that a subscription for a certain charity was being raised in Moscow, and of the ,' plillion rubles required there was a de ' iffejt of 300,000. The Mayor bethought ' jtim to make an appeal to a rich merchant ' of his acquaintance for the required sum. Ho did so; the first time in vain. But - en another visit the merchant said: "Go lown on your knees and beg mo to give r too the money." "And why not?" re ' turned the Mayor. Like Lady Godiva, is sacrificed bil pride end gained the 'jooney .for the town. And now ' so ciety ia much concerned to know if SU honor was lostj and casuists; are arguing i ' on both sides of the question . Koscow hu got 1001010102 to talk about AH EXPSXXNCX XV JAPA.2T, Getting- Lodging in an Out-of the Way Corner Family Prayers. An out -of the-way corner of Japan is sketched by Percival Lowell, in the Atlantic, as follows: On the top of the opposite bank stood perched a group of houses, not enough to make a village, and far too humble to support an inn. But in the midst of tbera rose a well-to-do temple, where, according to the guide book, good lodging was to bo had. It may indeed be so. For our part, wo were not so muoh as granted entry. An acolyte, who par leyed with us through the darkness, reported the priest away on business, and refused to let us in on any terms. Several bystanders gathered during the interview, and had it not been for oue of them we might have been there yet. From this man we elicited the information that another hamlet lay halt' a mile further up, whose hmdman, he thought, might be willing to housi us. We followed straight on until some buddings showed in still blacker silhouette against the black sky; and there, after a little grop ing in the dark and a second uncanny conversation through a loophole for tho place was already boarded up for the uight v,e were finally taken in. The hjusc was a generous instance of a mountain farmhouse. The floors wero innocent of mats, and the rooms other wise pitiably barnlike. Vet an air of largeness distinguished the whole. It was clearly the home of a man of stand ing in his community, one who lived amply the only life he knew. You felt you already knew the man from the outer envelope. This in some sort prepared me for a little scene I was shortly to witness. For while waiting foi Yejiro to get dinner ready. I became aware that something was "oin'' on in what did lor hall; and, on pushiug the shoji gently apart, I beheld the whole household at evening prayers before au altarpiece lighted by caudles and glittering with Buddhas and bronze lotus dowers. The father intoned the service from a kind of breviary, and the family joined from time to time in the responses. There was a sincerity and a sweet simplicity about the act that went to the heart and held me there. At the close the family remained bowed, while the intoncr rev erently put out the lights and folded the doors upon the images within. Locked in that little case lay all the luxury which the family conld allonl, and to which the rest of the house was stranger. There is something touching in any heartfelt belief, and something pathetic too. Should Breathe Through tho Nose. "Have you ever noticed," said a phy sician, "how many of the people you meet have the habit of keeping their lips parted a little? Just observe people's mouths iu your walks about the city and you will be surprised at the truth of what I am telling you. Or perhaps ou will not be surprised now that I have put you on your guard, but you will find the number is exceedingly large. I ven ture to say that more than three-quarters of the men and women to be met in the streets of this city will be found to have their mouths partly open. To some ex- tent this is due to the catarrh, which is I almost a national disease, which renders nose breathing in at least some cases not an easy thing. Then I think it is largely i the result of had habits. The habit of I opening the lips a little is easily ac- (luired, and, like all habits, not easily I bioken. Then, again, there are some people who have the habit of humming I to themselves as they walk, which na- j turally tends to throw the mouth open. Of course, the general habit of which I am speaking is an extremely bad one. The nose is the instrument given us to breathe with, aud only when tho air ' passes through the nose and is strained , there, especially in cold weather, is it in ! lit condition to enter thb lungs. Much more attention should be given to the j formation of the habit of nose breathing than is generally the case. This is a fact that. "ought tj be forcibly impressed on the mind of every parent and every teacher. After violent exercise it is natural and inevitable to breathe through the mouth, just as the dog throws open his jaws and hangs out his tongue when exhausted by some special effort. But the dog and all other animals when in normal condition breathe only throuah the nose, and men, women and children ought to do the same." N. Y. Tribune. Origin of Clam Chowder. I am frequently asked, "What is clam chowder?" and I have replied that more than thirty years ago I heard the poet LoDgfellow urge a French lady to eat 80ineclam chowder because it was French. The lady looked up in astonishment and uttered a most significant Comment done ! Unto this Longfellow replud that the French originally settled on the borders of New England, aud Mother Necessity soon taught them how to stew clams and fish in layers with bacon, sea biscuits (crackers) and other ingredients in a kettle (chaudicre). Now, from the French tho Indians learned the Roman Catholic religion and a little of the French lan guage and a great deal of the dish which the newcomers had invented. The Indi ans were not apt iu tho pronunciation or in the significance of French, and when they heard the Gaul speak of the chau dierc the Indians supposed it referred to the food, and his nearest approach to the pronunciation was chawder the name which only English fishermen and settlers learned from tho Indian, and which the Anglo-Saxon of the New World further corrupted into chowder. American Register. Stories are not uncommon of letters having gone the round of the globe and then reached their proper destination. Something stranger than this has just occurred at Birmingham, England. Mr. Groves, one of the oldest officials of tho County Court in that city, has just re ceived a letter which had been addressed to him and posted at StaIord In the month of July, 1858. The letter bears the stamp mark made at the Stafford Post Office in that month, and the Bir mingham' postmark of tin succeeding any . ,vflber- i also the Birmingham posi A.

The Almanac. The word "almanac" is probably taken from the Arabic "Almanah" meaning reckoning. Tables represent ing almanacs were first used by the Arabs as astronomical guides, manu scripts of some of thoso of the middlo nges can be found in various English and European libraries. The British museum preserves manuscript almanacs of the fourteenth century. It is believed that Purback, the Ger man astronomer, published the first printed almanac at Vienna in 1457. "Poor Robin's, Almanac" the most famous was first issued in 16G3. Under James I. almanacs wero monopolized by tho stationers' company and the uni versities and astrology and superstition wero there principal content. France has issued more almanacs than any other country. William Bradford, of Philadelphia, issued in 1087 tho first American almanac. Franklin's celebrated "Poor Richard's Almanac," first published by him in 1732, and continued about twenty-five years, bocame very popular in this country as well as in England and France, where its proverbial and wise utterances were reprinted and translated." "The American Almanan and Repository of useful knowledge" was, published from 1828 to 1861 at Boston. The"National Almanac" which was a continuation of the above was published at Philadelphia for 1863 and 1864 only. There are now upward of 250 alma nait published in the United States; more than one-half of which are issued by patent medicine concerns, issued solely to advertise their remedies. Settled Htm. An old fellow who had served one day on the jury stepped into the court-room several days afterward and exclaimed: ''Jedge, got that two dollars yit?" "What two dollars!" asked the aston ished jurist. "The money you owe me for serving on your jury. Been haugin' round here two or three days, but I see that you don't intend to pay me." "Go to the circuit clerk." "That's played out, Jedge. I went to see the Governor and he told me to come over here. Now you want to put me off. Blamed" "Mr. Sheriff," said the Judge, "arrest this man for contempt of court." "Never mind the money, Jedge. I'm will in' to trnst you. What, take me to jail? This settlos mo with the Demo cratic party," Arkanmw Traveler. Improvement in Olvlng Apparatus. Some practical improvements in div ing apparatus have been efi'eoted by a French engineer. Instead of the heavy electrio hand lamp heretofore used by divers, he affixes a light but powerful glow lamp on tho top of the helmet, so that the diver s hands are Doth at all times free for work. Tne lamp is con nected by a conductor with a battery either on sharo or in a vessel' above, as tho case may be. Tho next point is a sew method" of connecting the helmet with the dreas without any loose parts, and this is effected by means of only one watertight joint instead of two, as in the ordinary dress, v In the new method the upper part or collar of the India rubber dress is gripped in between the lower rim of the helmet and the upper rim of the breast plate, and there held fast . by gripping pieces attached to the breast PROFESSIONAL DR.
