/ Competitive Trial of Sheep Hops. At the international sheep show in Philadelphia, one of the most interest ing features of the exhibition was h trial of the skill of sheep dogs in managing their fleecy charge. The dogs were ex pected to tnko five sheep from a pen. drive them around a course about a quarter of a mile long, and put them in another pen provided for the purpose. The first attempt was made by an Eng lish dog called “ Lad,” which, in Shef field, England, is said to have earned off the first prize from twenty-eight competitors. A correspondent of the “New England Farmer” thus describes the scone: Everything being in readiness, the bars woro taken down, and at a word from his master “Lad” jumped into the pen and sent the sheep out in a hurry. They were very wild, and the large crowd present had a tendency to make them worse. They at once started around the north side of the course, followed by the dog and his master, but had not gono a third of tho distance when the ram nt tho lead made n break, and wont through tho crowd on tho outside of the ring, closely followed by the others, with, the dog at thoir heels. In a short time tho dog returned with four of them, but the fifth wns still missing. Aftor bringing them back, he wont in search of the absent one, which he soon found and brought insido the inclosuro. Hut instead of going toward its companions this re fractory mm started in tho other direc tion, but wns not followed by tho dog, who went again after tho stray four. After getting those started, another broke nwny, but was soon brought back, when all four ngain started around the course, the intention of the dog boing evidently to pick up the stray ram when ho came up with him. When tho dog went to got tho ram, it showed fight, and took refuge between two stono slabs. The dog barked furiously, and in vain at tempted to dislodge the stubborn ani mal. Tho dog was about giving it up, when his nuistor instructed him to go back and fetch tho mm with him. The dog started with renewed conrago, and charged tho infuriated ram. Instead of the ram running away, it lowered its head and repelled tho attack of the eaniuo. After being repeatedly buttod, tho dog caught tho mm by tho ear, and by dint of sheer forco led the nnimnl to the pen. This trial consumed about twonfy-five minutes. A Scotch collio named “Oscar” did not havo so severe a tusslo as “ Lad," and accomplished his task in twonty-ono minutes. Other dogs were nlso put on trial tost, and the awards were mado later in tho week. All of the dogs nro endowed with in credible intelligence and sagacity. Do Not Fret. Men get out of order by excessivo in dustry, from stoady watch, from care, and so render morbid tho whole nervous system and for tho time being will draw fear from tho future. Too much is too much of anything. Homo men are born hopeful; they go upon life ox actly as a buoyant boat fiouts upon tho waves. It goes up whon they go up, it falls when they fall, but it is evermore on tho surface. I havo known men bankrupted andlthey came up next morn ing smiling. Thou there are other men whose hope is at a minimum. Tho future is novor radiant to them. Ono great fault is throwing into tho future in flamed desires. It is not wrong for men to desire riches. Certainly it is not Wrong to desire that which is the prin cipal motive to industry. But if this is carried to an excess men become mean, dotostublo. There are multitudes of men that never think of enjoying them solves while they are acquiring riches. They put it off to the future and they live in n perpetual nnxioty and fret over the acquisition of property. Property is n very good thing, but it never had a value that justified a man in sacrificing his happines or his soul for it. How many men there nro suffering care as to how thoir children should stand in life, how their family should stand, and if next year they shall bo as prosperous ns they are now ? llow many persons there are that brood and brood unnecossarily as to the future of their children, fearing that they may not turn out well. “He has told a lie ; he is on tho road to the devil.'V jjWell, 1 don’t believe there over was a child that did not lie. It is part of their inherited nature, and it is an evil, and a groat evil, and is to lie plucked up by tho roots. I, when I go into my garden, never cry and say “ There are so many weeds ! I am never going to have a garden, never, never, never!” I dig up the weeds and say “ I will havo a garden." And so parents fearful of their children may take cour age. Now as to the remedy for the evils that grow out of this care for tho future —-and first we must put tho direct re sistauco of the will. It makes a great difference whether a man takes a poker by tho hot end or tho cold end. There must be a vigorous determination that you are not called to joy; that all the universe is made for you, and that you will not submit yourself to the degrada tion and bondage of perpetual intrusive fear; that you will say: “ I will not per mit myself to suffer.” The best way of escaping all these carping cares is to trust in the Lord. All things are for you.—[llcnry Ward Beecher. Seven Days nt Sea Without Food. On her last voyage the Austrian bark Leandro, bound from the. West Indies to Boston, sow something floating on tho waves that looked like a wreck. As the xessel eamo neai'or it was seen that the flonting object wns part of a cabin of a vossol, and that there were two human beings upon it. A boat was sent to the wreck. Lashod to it were two men, emaciated, with blackened, swollen lips and blistered faces and hands. They were unable to speak, and ‘one of them was insensible. Ho did not regain con sciousness till nine hours after he was taken aboard the Leandro. He was B. MncDonald, first mate of the bark County of Bichmond, and his com panion was Henry Lang. Tho cast aways were cared for on the Austrian bark ai d taken to Boston. They were tho only survivors of the County of Bichmond, which went to pieces during a violent hurricane. In a letter to his brother, describing tho disaster of the bark and his subsequent sufferings, Mato MacDonnld says : At soven o’clock in tho morning the vessel took a heavy lurch to leeward, and tho cargo shifted so much as to throw the vessel almost on her beam ends. All hands were then ordered to get tho boat out. We got her down off the fore house and partly over to lee ward when the ship took a heavy sen on board, which filled the boat and com pletely tore her in pieces. Then it was every man for himself, for it was evident that tho vessel could not float, much longer. We had nothing to mnk raft of, as everything movable lmd been washed from tiic decks. T got a ladder which lmd been on tho forward house and lashed to it two boards which 1 got from tho forecastle. Then, with the as sistance of one man, T got it over the weather side, ready, ns soon as the ves sel showed signs of going down, to drop into tho water. I had not long to wait, for in about ten minutes she heeled over to leeward and commenced to settle. 1 then let go the ladder and jumped after it, and succeeded after a hard struggle in reaching it. When I looked back the vessel lmd disappeared, having gone down stern first. All l saw wore four men struggling with the waves on bits of wreckage, like myself. One man, Honry Lnng, swam toward mo and got on the ladder, which kept us above the water pretty well. In that position wo remained a few minutes, when wo saw something large floating to windward. Wo both let go tho ladder and succeeded in getting to it, and found it to be the top part of tho fonvnrel house, with the beams and nil attached, which had been washed off as the vessel foundered. We got on top of tl o house, lashod our- selvos to it by means of bits of rope which wo carried around our bodies, and then lionted awav from where the vossol went down. Wo saw tho steward lashed, fnco upward, to something, lie shouted to us, but wo could render him no assistance. We were soven days in that position, exposed to the burning sun by day and cold winds by night, without either food or drink, until wo were picked up by tho Austrian bark Leandro, by whoso coptain we were very kindly treated and taken to Boston. HUMOROUS. Make Friends. Life is very critical. Any word may be our last. Any farewell, ovon amiil glee and merriment, may bo forever. If this truth were but burnt into our con sciousness, and if ruled as a deep con viction and real power in our lives, would it not give a new meaning to our human relationships ? Would it not make us far more tender than wo some times are ? Would it not oftentimes put u rein upon our rash and impetuous speech ? Would we carry in our hearts the miserable suspicions and jealousies that now so often embitter tho fountains of our lives ? Would we be so impatient of the faults of others? Would we al low trivial misunderstandings to build up a wall between us and those who ought to stand very close to us ? Would we keep alive petty quarrels year after year, which a manly word any day would compose ? Would we pass old .friends or neighbors on the street without re cognition, because of some real or fan cied slight, some wounding of pride, or some ancient grudge ? Or would we be so chary of the kind ^words, our com mendations, our sympathy, our comfort, when weary hearts all about us are breaking for just such expressions of interest or appreciation as we havo in our power to give ?—[Christian at Work.

All aninin's, says Professor Mivart in the “Contemporary Review,” are di reetly or indirectly supported by plants, and the range of plants and the very ex istence of species are often wonderfully affected by the appearance on the seem of even one new kind of nnimnl. Thus a great grazing district at the Capo, called the “Midlands,” was, in Bur- ehell’s time, covered with luxuriant greensward, with a few trees and bushes, with willows and acacias along the side of its streams, The introduction of sheep first destroyed the grass and then most of the shrubs—a change which affected the rainfall, so that this region lias been invaded by the hardy plants of the adjacent Karroo desert, and is fast becoming an extension of the desert it self. Saint Helena, when discovered by the Portuguese, in tho year 1502, was entirely covered with forests (the trees drooping over its high precipices over hanging the sea) and with a rich Horn of absolutely peculiar pants. In 15111 some goats were introduced, and in fifty years hail multiplied into thousands. Yet in 170!) trees still abounded, and tho pe euliar native ebony tree was still si abundant that it was used to burn lime with. In another hundred years (1810) the goats had entirely destroyed the great forests, yet so rich was the soil that it was hoped, with tho destruction of the goats (and they were destroyed) the island would regain its wood by quarter of a century. But tins was not to be, for the government of that dav most unhappily planted tho island witl trees and shrubs from other countries which have so grown and spread that now the old indigenous flora is almost confined to a few patches on the central ridge of the island, at a height of 2,70(1 feet. AVliat has been lost may be judged by tho fact that of the forty-five kinds of flowering plants anil twenty-three spe cies of ferns which yet survive, no less than forty of the former and thirteen of the latter are absolutely peculiar to the island. Ucmilnc Esquimau Dogs. Lieutenant Doane, of tho United States army, who wont out with the Gulnare, brought back with him two cute little Esquimau pup pies, which ho has presented to Captain Howgato. They are interesting little creatures, and as frolicsome as kittens. They are covered with fur, as soft and fine as Saxony wool, and they are as fond of petting as children. The heads are black, and the bodies a dingy whito, which is, howover, gradually yielding to soap and water, and promises in time to rival the snows of thoir Arctic birthplace in whiteness. Their eyes beam with intelligence, and their ears are pointed, like those of foxes. They are extremely good-natured, and man-, fest a great fondness for human sociotyi which proves that they are an important factor in the domestic circles of the Frigid Zone. They were fed meat on their arrival, and, not being accustomed to diet of that kind, it nearly ended their lives. Then the weuther was very warm in the middle of the day, and the poor creatures panted as vigorously as a United States member of the genus canine in tho dog days. When the ■writer saw them they had just dined on raw oysters, which they had enjoyed immensely, and were trifling over their dessert—a twenty-pound block of ice, that t ,ev caressed with all the apparent fondr.ess one bestows on an old and familiar friend. If they survive such extremes^of climate and nro not so many pounds of hydrophobia to the square inch, fine sledges drawn by Esquimau dogs will become one of the vagaries of fashionable metropolitan life in tho near Broken-Roue Fever. Dengue, or brokon-bono fever, nlso known os “dandy fever,” "bucket fever,” and “bouquet fever” is said to have made its first appearance as a malady the West Indies in 1827, at which time it was also communicated to the Southern portion of tho United States Tho disease, as has been previously been stated, received tho name "dor.guo’ from the Spaniards of tho West India islands from thoir word dengue, donot mg pnuler,, which expresses stiffness— a pain in tho bones and stiffness of tho body, being tho principal features of tho sickening disease. During tho past few months reports lmvo como from every quarter in tho Southern States regarding tho pro valence of this trend ilosomo, but not noceossarily fatal disease. But few, any, deaths have been made known from its effects. Nearly o.ery citizen of Savannah had a touch—some light,some severe—of tho malady, and not ono of them can give a definite explanation of tho tortures of the disense. It 1ms spared no ono—adults, children, little men, large men, black men, whito mom colored men, business men,J spotting men, printers, editors, lawyers, 1 judges every one being subject to its fond cm brace.. As for a cure or a preventive for tho little nuisance, wc are not prepared say wlmt is good or what is not good in either case, but leave the) mat ter to the physicians, who, by tho way, lmvo been reaping a rich harvest from the unlucky victims of the disease. Some persons have gono so far as to say that tho fevi is more violent on those who have defied it before falling into its dutches, but for this wo cannot vouch. Wo can say howover, that any one, sooner or later, who are among its victims, does not wish a second battle in order to show better fight. [Probably for tho above reason, more than anything else, that is its severity on thoso who defy it, wo do not wish to agitato Mr. Fovor, as our ranks have already been visited by the merciless monster, anil to his majesty w say “farewell.”—[Savannah News. About Peanut*. Tho modus operandi by which tlu nuts are separated, elenned and classed it somewhat us follows : The third story oi tho building contains thousands of bush els of peas in bags, and there the con tinual roar of tho machinery is doftten- ing. Each maehino has a duty to per form. First, there is a large cylinder in which all tho nuts are placed, in order that the dust and dirt may bo shaken on them. They pass from tho cylinder into tho brushes, where every nut re ceives fifteen feet of a brushing before it becomes free. Then they pass through a sluiceway to the floor below, where they are dropped on an endless belt, about two and one-half feet in width, and dashing along at the rate of four miles an hour. On each side of the belt stand eight colored girls, and, os tho nuts fall from the sluice on to the belt the girls, with a quick motion of the hand, pick out all the poor-looking nuts, and by the time the jelt retches the end two-thirds of the nuts arc picked off, allowing only the finest to pass the crucible. Those that do pass drop through another sluice and empty into lings on the floor below. When the bag is filled it is taken away by hand, sewed up and branded as cocks,” with tho figure of a rooster prominent on its sides. The peas caught up by the girls are tliou thrown to one side, placed in tho bags, and carried into auother room where they are again picked over, the best singled out, bagged and branded as “ships.” These are ns fine nut as the first for eating, but in sliaiie and color do not compare with the ‘ < cocks." Haring gone over them twice, wo now come to a third grade, which are called and branded as ‘ ‘ eagles. These arc picked out of tho cullings of the “ cocks ” and “ ships,” but now and then you will find a respectable-looking nut among them, though the eyes of the colored damsels are as keen os a hawk, and a bad nut is rarely allowed to pass their hands. The cullings that are left from tho “eagles” are bagged, sent through the elevator to tho top story, anil want little ment is in thorn is shaken out by a patent sheller, which is not on ly novol, but as perfect a pieco of machinery os was ever invented. These nuts being shelled by this now irocoss, the moat drops into bags below .roe from dust or dirt of any kind, and aro then shipped in 200-pound sacks to the North, where they are bought up by the confectioners for tho purpose of mak ing taffy or peanut candy. It may bo hero stated that ft peculiar kind of oil is extracted from the ment of tho nut, [Detroit Free Press.] Mrs. C.

In travel here one en gages a horse to ride and a woman for the baggage. Only those who hav neither wife, mother, daughter, nor de pendent fomalo relation shoulder bur dens as a common thing. Transport by animals also is a, department of female occupation. Coining from Cettinjo here one meets pack-horses, mules, donkey going u]i in droves, with a gang of women following. Tremendous weight they carry, slung by straps that cross tho upper chest, anil as they go they knit or spin. These dwellers by tho frontier are much better looking than tho un mixed race of tho interior, but uot less hardy, strong and independent. The have no shame or hesitation in begging and universal mendicancy on the part of women and girls must, I imagine, liavi its influence on morality. In leaving Montenegro, the traveler carries with him a deep regard anil admiration for the gallantry, the manliness and tho shrewd intelligence of this str mge peo pie. He is constrained to wish them well and to hope that they will acquire means to live at peace hereafter. (lot No Show. IIo doesn’t live in Galveston now, but ho usod to.

Talking of boos makes ono think of wax. Tho whito wax industry of Sze- chuen, Chinn, howover, does not depend on boes. It is a peculiar auil growing industry. Baron Richthofen estimates tlio value of tho annual crop, on tho avorago, at about $3,250,000. In 1879 upward of $-105,000 worth of this curious ontomologieal secretion was exported from tho ono port of Hankow ulono. Whito wax is tho mere exudation of an insect in n state of disease, aggravated probably by tlio operation of an uncon genial climate, and favored by tlio presence of a troo for which the creature lias an affinity. In tho Keencliang dis trict an overgreen, known as tho Ligus- trum luoidum, thrives in abundance, and on its twigs, iu tlio spring of tlio year, cimntloss llios swarm liko a brown film.

Tho viscid sub- stnnco rises to the surface, and is skim med off, molted, and allowed to cool in deop pans, It wns accidentally dis covered that, by transporting the insocts from their native district to the more vigorous one of KoatingFu, in the north of the province, their capability of dis charging wax was largely augmented—a property which [was promptly and ex tensively availed of by tho Szo-chuen tradors.
