I never knew hoys’ school in which thero was not a tendency to rowdyism. Aud lumbermen, sailors, fisher- mcD, and all other men that lire only with whither be went. After an hour of despair ing, wandering and shouting, he came upon a house, and having rapped on the door ho found himself face to face with his wife. He had returned to his own house in his be wilderment. When wo remember that Jones had not slept for two nights preceding this one, on account of his mortal quarrel with Bnrton, and he had now been beating against an arctic hnrricane, and tramping through treacherous billows of snow for an hour, we cannot wonder’that he fell over his own threshold in a state of ex treme exhaustion. Happy for him that he did not fall bewilder ed on the prairie, as many another poor way farer did on that fatal night! As it was, bis wife must needs give np tho vain little searches she had been making in the neighborhood of the shanty. She bad now a sick husband with frozen hands and feet and face, to care for. Every minute the thermom eter fell lower and lower, and all tho heat the little cook-stove in Jones’ shanty could give, would hardly keep them from freezing. Burton had stayed upon that forty-acre lot all day, wailing for a chance to shoot his old partner Jones. He bad not beard of the ar rival of Jones’ wife, and so he concluded that his enemy had proved a coward and had left him in possession, or else that ho meant to play him some treacherous trick on his way homo. So Burton resolved to keep a sharp lookont. But be soon found that impossible, for the storm was upon him in all its blinding fury.— Ho tried to fellow the path, but be could not find it. Had he been less of a frontiorman he must mit yon here; they do not want yon in heaven; bat I will sell you two hundred barrels of brim stone for cash, ten per cent, off, and yon can start a little hell of yoar owa, with no agents or middle men.' ’’ men, aro proverbially a half-bear sort of peo- . . , . .. , ,. . , ... .

One of the * secrets ’ of the manufacture of shot is the mixing of the lead with a certain proportion of a combination of mineral sab- stances called ‘temper.’ The ‘temper’ is fused with the lead, and gives the molten metal that consistency which makes it drop. If it were not for the * temper’ the lead would be moulded by the sieve, and would form lit tle pencils instead of round shot. When ‘ BB' shot, for instance, are to bo made, the lead is ponred into a pan perforated with holes cor responding to that size. The little pellets come ponring down in a continuous shower, and fall into a tank filled with water on the ground floor. In their descent of two hundred feet they become perfect spheres, firm and denso, and they are tolerably cool when they strike the water, although the swift concus sions make the tank foam and babble as if the water was boiling furiously. Tho shot must fall in wator, for if they should strike any firm substance they would be flattened and knock ed out of shapo. To get the little pellets per fectly dry after they have boon in the • well is the most difficult aud troublosome process of the whole manufacture. An elevator with small buckets (very much like thoso used in flour mills) carries tho shot up as fast as they reach the bottom of tho ‘ well,’ and deposits them in a box sixty feet above tbo first floor. Tho water drips from the buckets as they go up, and not much is poured into tbo receiver above, although it is intended to be a sort of dripping machine. From this receiver the shot runs down a spout into a dry-pan, which greatly resembles a gigantic shoe, mado of sheet iron. The pan rests at aD anglo which permits the wet shot to roll slowly down to the chamber below, and the pellets become per fectly dry as they pass over the warm sheet iron. am arrived and do angel Gabriel come tootin’ | In great storms tbe wind forseveralhnndred along, he’ll sing out troo his trumpet, • All I miles on both sides of the minimum pressure yon colored gommen rise fast!’ And say, blows toward the line directly or obliquely. .

When there was nothing The Hotel Clerk. I can shake bands with a Governor, sit be side an Alderman, and smoke witb a State Senator, and never feel my littleness, but whon I come to stand in the presence of a modern hotel clerk, I feel that awe and inferiority which tourists feel as they staDd in Yosemite Valley and look np at the monntain-tops, a thousand feet above. Thero is something about that young man standing behind tbo office counter of a first-class hotel, which is calculated to hold the common man at a dis tance ; you may gaze at him if you wish to rn fact ho is there to be gazed at—but don’t attempt to be familiar. I would as soon think of diuing with the crater of a volcano as of going up, extending a baud to a hotel clerk and asking him if his family wore enjoying tolerablo good health. I sometimes dream of being thus familiar, and when I wake up I feel as if I had been frozen. The dignity, asperity and condescension of the modern hotel clerk! Did you ever notice how bo resgnts tho at tempted familiarity of travelers t If a man calls him ‘ old boy,’ or yells: * Say, you fellow there!’ no well-bred clork lets on that he bears. He goes right on reading the morning paper, and finally that familiar traveler has to put on a beseeching look, and timidly ask: • Please, mister, will you kindly permit mo to disturb you while I humbly inquire if the Tole do train leaves at 8 o’clock, or at 8:40!’ He will raise his eyes from the paper, drop them, raise them to the clock, gently move them round the room, and reply : * I guess so.’ With what dignity they receive and assign guests! If the traveler asks for a room ou the first floor, on account of his legs, tbe clerk lays back on his dignity and assigns him to the top story os punishment, and if all the earthquakes that ever quaked were to attempt to alter that clerk’s determination, they would get beaten. I used to believe tbat hotel clerks were like hotel waiters, that a bribe would fetch ’em, but I found ont my error, wben trying to pass a crumpled ten cent note into tbe young man’s hand, be drew back witb such a look of scorn and contempt on his face, that I didn’t dare to register at all, but I slept in a barn, and breakfasted on cbeese and crackers. I heard afterward tbat be was killod by a railroad col- lison, but I don't see bow any such thing could have even disturbed his dignity.—Max Adder. courso of air currents is snch as will equalize tbe atmospheric pressure upon tbo earth's sur face, and that whenever inequalities exist, the winds aro set in motion, tho air thus finding its lovel—just aa water or any other visible fluid does.

Housekeepers should know that a small piece of paper or liueu cloth, moistened with spirits of turpentine, and put into a bu reau or wardrobe for a single day, two or three times, is a sufficient preservation against moths. For cleanihg glass a newspaper is one of the best articles to use. The chemical op erations of some of the ingredients of print ing ink give a beautiful polish. Slightly mc-isten a piece of paper, roll it up, and rub the glass, then take a dry, soft pieco and repeat the process. No lint will re main, as is the case when cloth is used. The Egyptian Capital. Bayard Taylor writes from Alexandria, Egypt, to the New York Tribune: In the older streets, and especially in the native bazars, all is gay, diversified, Orien tal. The faces, costumes and dialects of Syria, Tripoli, and Tunis are mixed with those of Egypt, and even groups of wan dering Desert Arabs are a daily sight. I saw several this morning, evidently very tch puzzled by a collection of large chil dren’s dolls in a shop window; their faees were an interesting study. But with what simple dignity they wore their i-agged burnooses! What fine, statuesque graco in every deliberate movement or gesture! These pictures, which meet you at every turn, give to the newer portion of Alexan dria, which is architecturally liko Leghorn or Marseilles, a semi-oriental character. Of its 225,000 inhabitants, at least 100,000 are of European blood. It has more than doubled iu twenty years, and the rubbish of unfinished or demolished buildings meets your eye wherever you go. Tho hanking capital of the city is estimated at 8125,000, 000—not much less than that of New York, where, however, the amount of business is pot always an evidence of the basis upon which it is carried ou.
