AN OYSTER STUDY.
I.ooktny into Blvaltmlar Anatomy—ttou> an
Oyster fenli and Maintain* Itself.
[From the Baltimore Gazette.]
Every oyster has a mouth, a heart,
a liver, a stomach, cunningly devised in
testines, and other necessary organs,
A Washington oorres|K>ndeut says :—
Much depends on catching the Speaker’s
eye. Strange as it may appear, a mem- .
her in the remote part of the House with i 118 *' ftH a " living, moving, intelligent
a feeble voioe sometimes catches the j creatures have. And all these things
Speaker’s eye, notwithstanding a dozen are covered from men’s rudely inquisi-
others near the Speaker are shouting . five gaze by a mantle of pearly gauze,
and gesticulating wildly nnd doing their
utmost to attract his attention. The
recognition is usually made under nn
agreement with the Speaker, made,
perhaps, days before. The favored mem-
her has a bill in which there may bo
millions or not; but reasons there are
why ho shall have the floor at a particu
lar time. Ho asks, especially in the
dosing hours of the session, for unani
mous consent to call up the bill nnd pnt
it on its /final passage. Amid the rush
and rumpus members are generally
willing to have this done, ns it tends to
create an opportunity for others. In this
wny some of the most important nnd the
worst legislation takes place,
A gentleman fnmiiiar with legislation
by Congress forty years ago relates an
interesting incident. It was near the
close of the session. The House of
Representatives, sitting in the old hall,
was, as usual, in confusion. Members
in scores were trying to catch the
S|leaker's eye for the benefit of favorite
bills. Every one wits trying his best,
and nothing was being done. Our vet
eran rccollector, who had the privilege
of the floor, met in tho corridor an out
sider deeply concerned for tho passngo
of a bill for whioh he had labored the
entire session. It had passed tho Henate,
was not specially opposed, and was
meritorious, os ho believed. "I will givo
yon so much," naming a round sum even
Tor these days, "if yon will get my bill
up,” ho Baid.
The gentleman addressod returned to
the House, where tho oonfusion was
momentarily deepening. Seemingly
every member was ou tho floor trying to
catoh the Speaker’s eyo. "Had I,” said
a member of prominence, "n bill for
which I eared enough to make tho at
tempt, I would got the Speaker to recog
nize me."
"Wait a moment and yon shall l>e
gratified.”
The outsider’s bill was prodnoed And
plnoed ir the ha r d of the eye-catching
member. "Mr. Speaker I" was heard
from his quarter.
"The gentleman from Blank," was tho
immediate response.
"I ask unanimous consent that the
bill numbered blank bo put on its pas
sage. It is a worthy bill. Wo ought to
pass it,”
"There being no objection the motion
is carried,” said the Speaker. "Tho
Clerk will call the yens and nayn.”
The rules were a little different from
what they are now. The roll was cnlled,
and the bill passed. Going outside, the
promoter meets his anxious friend, who
was wholly ignorant of what was going
on. "Your bill is through and tho work
is done.”
"Meet mo at Corcoran A Riggs’s
Banking house to-morrow morning at 10
o’oloek and I will givo yon tho promised
fee."
The summons was kept and the money
paid.
After Congress adjourned the promo
ter, meeting the eye-catching member,
said : "How did it happen thnt you
caught the Speaker’s eye when so many
others were vainly trying?’’
"1 had nrranged for it days before,
but tho intended business having been
intrusted to another, who wns then tryiug
to hnve the Sptnker recognizo him, and
failing every time, l just wished I had a
chance to show those who took the busi
ness from my hands what a mistako they
had made, but I hod no bill to do it with.
THE GOLDEN AGE.
Army of the Potomac.
The preliminary arrangements for the
reunion of the Army of the Potomao in
Brooklyn, on Juno 11 and 12 noxt, are
being made. General Newton, presi- j
dent, has appointed the following local :
Executive Committeee from the mem-
Tere of the society resident in Brooklyn: '
—Major General Henry W. Slocum, 1
Major General E. L. Molineaux, Major
General James Jordan, Brigadier Gen
eral Calvin E. Pratt, Brigadier Francis
E. Pinto, Brigadier General S. L. Wood
ford, Colonel Samuel Truesdell, Colonel
James McLeer, Colonel Charles N. Man
chester, Colonel James H. Platt, Major
E. W. Brueninghausen, Major James L.
Farley, Captain Harry E. Ellis, Sergeant
Henry 0. Earowe, Corporal James Tan
ner, and ex officio members General M.
T. McMahon, treasurer; General Hora
tio 0. King, recording secretary, and
General George H. Sharpe, correspond-
ing secretary.
In addition to this committee it is ex
pected that a largo citizens’ committee
will be formed. Tho celebration in
Brooklyn promises to exceed in numbers
and brilliancy any previons reunion of
the society. General Horace Porter will
deliver the oration and Mr. John Savage I
the poem. The celebration will cover
two days and conclude with a banquet,
orobably at Coney Island.
Hcoszs.—When William B. Astor
died he bed 720 houses on his rent-roll
in New York City. The present num
ber of Astor bouses exceeds 1,200, the
whole estate being valued at 850,000,000,
producing- an income of 83,000,000 a
year. i

The mouth is at tho smaller end of the
oyster, adjoining the hingo. It is of oval
shapo, and, though not readily seen by
an inexperienced eye, its location and
size can be easily discovered by gently
pushing a blunt bodkin or similar instru
ment along the surface mentioned.
When the spot is found, your bodkin can
lie thrust between the dolicate lips and a
considerable distance down toward the
stomach without causing tho oyster to
yell with pain. From this mouth is, of
course, a sort of canal to convey the food
to the stomach, whence it passos into
the intestines. With an exceedingly
duliento and sharp knifo you can take off
the "mantle” of the oyster, when there
will be disclosed to you a half-moon-
shaped spaco just above tho muscle, or
so-called " heart.” This space is tho
oyster’s perioanlium, and within it is
the real heart, the pulsations of which
aro readily seen. The hoart is mnde ap
of two parts, just as the human heart is,
ono of whioh receives tho blood from
the gills through n network of blood
vessels, and the other drives tho blood
out through arteries. In this important
matter the oyster differs in no respect
from other wdrm or cold-blooded ani
mals. And no ono need laugh incredu
lously at tho assertion that oysters hnvo
blood. It is not ruddy, according to tho
accepted notion about blood, but it is
nuvortheloBS blood to all oyster intents
nnd purposes. In tho same vicinity,
and in marvoloiiBly proper posi
tions, will be found all tho other
organs named. But it iB very proper to
bo incrodulous about that mouth and or
gans. At first glance it would soem that
they are utterly useless, for tho mouth
cannot snap around for food, and tho
oyster has no arms wherewith to grab
its dinner or lunch. True, apparently,
but only apparently, for each oyster has
moro than a thousand arms—tiny, deli
cate, almost invisible. And cacti one of j
them is incessantly at work gathering !
up food and goutly pushing it into the |
lazy mouth of tho indolont, comfortable
creature. The gills nro tho thin flaps
so notably perceptible around tho frout-
face part of tho undressed oystor, below
the musole. Each of these gills is cov
ered with minute, hair-like arms, vory
close together, und perpetually in mo
tion, to aud fro, in the snmo direction.
They catoh food from tho water, strain
it carefully of improper substances, and
watt it upward over the mantle’s smooth
surface to the gaping mouth, which
plucidly gobbles it up until hunger is
Hppoosod aud then the body goes to
sleep without turning over. Any ono
can observe this siugular process of
feeding by placing a minute quantity of
some harmless coloring matter on the
gills. If it will not offend the oyster’s
dolicate palate the coloring matter will
bo seen at onoe propelled by invisible
hands toward tho mouth and thonce
slowly down into tho stomach. And
this is all I kxow about oyster anatomy,
except that-the liver almost entirely sur
rounds th<* stomach, and is of a dark
green color. It may bo new to many to
know that oysters aro born precisely the
earn.) way the shad and other fish come
iivio the world. A well-educated lady
ojvter will lay about 125,000,000 eggs—
so it is Baid ; I have not counted enough
of them to strike bucIi a large average—
and every one of these eggs will ulti
mately become fit for a stew or fry if
they escape the multitude of perils thnt
do environ the infant oystor.

Sad Nfws From flic Sea.
A letter just received by Mrs. Minor,
wife of Captain Saufortl Minor, of the
schooner Surah W. Hunt, of Hartford,
gives the particulars of the loss of seven
of the crew. On November 27, near
Campbell Island, Perseverance Harbor,
two boats, with six men eaeh, left the
vessel to search for seals fn shore. Tnoy
took no provisions intending to return
in a few hours. The captain and stew
ard remained on board the vessel.
Heavy squalls set in nnd the bouts could
not be found, nnd after three days’ un
successful search the captain nnd stew
ard manned the schooner and succeeded
in working her into Littleton, New Zea-
i.ind, arriving December 18, having
.-ailed i.'l) miles through Revere gales.
I lie Governor of New Zealand sent ont
a steamer in search of t lie missing boats’
crews, and found one. These six men
are now in the hospital. The others are
probably drowned or have died from
starvation.
He Did His Best.-—Sir Edward Mor
timer Archibald, who wus for many years
British Consul-General at New York, to

man whose aim and efforts were to
maintain a conscience void of offense.
Hia closing words at the dinner tendered
Wifeim at the end of his consulate were;
, “When I am rWd and gouo

The Cincinnati Disaster,
Tiieiie were only nine fatal accidents to
trains in 1882 in Great Britinn.
A dispatch from Cincinnati says that
after the fall of the two undermined
buildings them the scene was a sad one.
Itsa rs: When the patrol wngon put out
its first load at the engiuo houso, fifteen
minutes after tho accident, most painful
see’ios ensued. Mrs. Kyle, so suddenly
bet eft of her son, was the central figure.
Hotted by the stove, bareheaded,
hurriedly clad, holding in her lap a little
h ind satchel, the only property sho bail
brought away, sho was tho embodiment
cl a mother’s grief. Around her were
icveral women, shedding tears of sym
pathy. They, too, were thinly and hastily
dressed, ono having a quilt wrapped
about her. All had dishevelled hnir,
their faces blackened by tho dust of the
fulling building. Mrs. Kyle was obliv
ious to all about her. Hho kept monuing
incessantly, while her feat ures wore dis
torted by tho intensity of her bereave
ment
"Oh ! if ho could only have died n
natural death,” she cried. “To think
of my poor boy Willio crushed in that
way. Oh I he must bo alive. Can’t they
help him ? My God 1 can't anybody
help my poor Willio ?”
Then, again, sho would bewail him ns
dead aud muow her screams of agony.
Her husband entorod, and tenderly
placing his arms about her leaned down
to offer her consolation, but ho hnd no
words. Tho two liereft ones, father and
mother, remained a moment silent, with
their faces touching, and thou tho strong
man walked away, nnd leaning against
the groat whoel of tho firo engino buried
his face iu his hands and sobbed like n
child.
Them, too, wore the Woehnker chil
dren—a girl of twolvo and a boy of
twenty—begrimed like tho rest nnd
weeping tor their father and mother.
The boy at one time seemed frantic with
grief nnd rushed away as if ho would
throw himself into tho water, but was
stopped by a fireman, who persuaded
him to become calm. Silent spectators
of this painful scene were tho blue-
coated military patrol, bearing their
guns, and to complete the pioturo wns a
reporter sending the news by telephone
to his newspaper. Abovo the moaning
of Mrs. Kyle his words were heard—
"Yes, Willie Kyle to lost.” "Four?”
"Yes. four of the Burke family,”

I have been suffering (luring several years
from revere illness, nnd a general breaking
down of my physical system, nnd hnvo tried
tho treatment and prescript ions of many doc
tors far nnd near, ami traveled to the Hot
Springs an l oth r mineral spring) famous
for their remedial qunhtioi, drinking tho
waters nnd bn'liing systematically In tholr
healing depth--, but nil ta no avail, nn I
steadily failed in health; ami although in
formed by my physicians that mv nllmonts
nnd weaknesses wore tho remit of kidney
disease of a dangir u< character, thoy could
givo mo nothing to euro bic. During the
jiast two years iny sufferings at time* worn
dreadful, and I Imd the nu si indescribable
pains in the regions about tho kidneys, tho
paroxysms of which were so sovero as to
render It impossible r :no to sleep. While
in this deplorable aud disc mragul condition
1 was persuaded to try limit’s Kotnody, and
after using less than half a bottle my great
sufferings and l nroxysms of pain were en
tirely relieved, and I could sleep licttcr and
longer than I bud in two yens boforo, ami
although I urn now on my ’third bottle only
my improvement is very remarkable, nnd f
regret, that I did not know of the wonderful
curative powers of Hunt’s Remedy before,
as if woul I have saved me years el' suffering.
1 heartily roeimmend it, to' all alllieted with
any kidney (Ur,on to or disease ot the urinary

When I was a boy wo Imd a big yallor
dog thnt hadn't as much seuso as n sheep
or as much pluck ns a chipmuck. Tlmt
clog wouldn't hnvo fought a canary
bird; wo knew it and he know wo kuow
it, but ho kept up an awful sight of
bluster and blow, just the same ns if wo
, didn't all know just wlmt it wns worth.
Every day a big black onr, as cowardly
i as ourn, used to go by with a butcher’s
j cart, and them two dogs would run up
an’ down, on different sides of tho fence,
I lmrkin’ fit to kill, an’ just as if thoy
j would tear caoh other up if it wasn’t for
the fence. One day tho two got after
I each other, an' it happened some ono
i had left the gate open; so all of a sud-
dent they ciuuo opposito to each other,
with nothing between. Well, sir, them
two dogs just stopped on’ looked at each
other for a minnit, then they put their
tails between their logs an’ cat sticks in
different directions, ns if Old Nick was
after ’em. There’s piles on’ piles o’ men
that's a heap more anxious for a fight

Until a mortal wound has pierced vou

Ratsbd the Roof.—Tho Mayville Dis
patch gives this flood incident: “All
the distilleries were forced to close down
on ucconut of the water, but they nre
not much damaged, unless tho material
and machinery inside nre hurt. At ono
of these a quantity of whisky in bnrrela
had been rtored in the upper story of tho
distillery. The water rose above it and
lifted the whisky, which lifted tho roof.
The roof floated down street. Whisky
that is strong enough to lift the roof off
, the distillery, to supposed to bo n pretty
i good artiole, and this is the truest big
■whicky story ever recorded.”
