• MTJSIO.
Venice is the borne of the Vene
tian, and it is only here that the gon
gola has its nest and- rears its young.
It is also tbe headquarters for the
paint known as Venetian red. They
use it in painting tbe town on festive
occasion. This is tbe town where the
Merchant of Venice need to do busi
ness, and tbe home of Sbylock, a bro
ker, who sheared the Venetian lamb at
the corner of tbe Bialto and the
Grand canal. He is now no more.—
I oonldn’t even find sn old neighbor
near the Bialto who remembered Shy-
look. From wbat I can learn of him,
however, I am led to believe that he
was pretty dose in his deals, and liked
to catch a man in a tight place and
then make him eqnirm. Sbylock, dar
ing the great panio in Venice many
years ago, it is said, bad a chattel
mortgage on more lives than you
coaid shake a stiok it. He woald loan
a small amount to a merchant at
threA per cent per month, and secure
it on a pound of tbe merchant’s liver,
or by a cut-tlnoat mortgage on bis
respiratory apparatus. Then, when
tbe paper maturod, he would go np to
tbe house with a pie knife and de
mand a foreclosure.
Veoice i. one cf tbe best watered
towns in Europe. You cau bardlv
walk a block without getting your
feet wet, unless you rideiu a gondola.
Tbe gondola is a long slim ht.ok
without wheels, and is worked urouad
through tbe damp streets by a bru
nette, mnn whose breath should be a
sad warning to ns all. He is called
tbe gondolier. Sometimes be sings in
a low tone of voice, And in a foreign
tongne. I do not know where I have
met so many foreigners as I have here
in Europe, unless it was in New York
at the polls. Wherever I go, I bear a
foreign tongue. I do not know wheth
er these people talk in tbe Italian lan
guage just to show oil or not. Per
haps they prefer it. London is tbe
only place I have visited where tbe
Boston dialect is used. London' was
originally settled by adventurers from
Boston. Tbe blood of some of the
royal families of Massachusetts may
be found in the veins of London peo
ple.
Wealthy young Judies in Venice do
not ran away with the eoacbmen.—
There are no coaches, no coachmen
and no horses in Venice. There are
only four horses in Venice, and they
are made of copper, and exhibited at
St. Mark’s as cariosities.
Tbe Accademia delle Belle Arti of
Venice is a large picture store where
I went yesterday to buy a few pic
tures for Christmas presents. Some
pnintings by Titian, the Italian Prang,
pleased me very much, bnt I couldn’t
beat down tbe price to where it would
be any pbject for mo to buy it. Be
sides, it would be a nuisance to carry
such a picture around witb me all
over the Alps, np tbe Rhine and
through the cniniry.
Tbe Italians are quite proud of
their smoky old paintings. I have of
ten thought that if Venice would ran
less to art and more to suap, she
would be more apt to win my respect.
Ait is nil right to a on tain extent,
but it can be run iu the ground. It
breaks my heart to kuow how lavish
nature bus been witb water here, and
THE HI A ELSTIIOIH.
The maelstrom, which means, liter
ally translated, “grinding steam,” is
tbe most remarkable whirlpool in tbe
world. It is situated on the Norwe
gian coast, just southwest of tbe Luf-
foden Isles. It runs between the is-
'ands of Moskenese and a large soli
tary rook in tbe middle of tbe straits.
Tbe strong currents rushing between
tbe Great West Ford and tbe outer
ocean tbroogh tbe Lofford Isles pro
duce a number of whirlpools, of
wbioh the maelstrom is by far tbe
most dangerous. Snob extravagant
stories have beeu told of this great
eddy—bow everything that enters tbe
borders of its current is instantly
sucked down into a bottomless abyss
—that its very existence bas been
doubted. However, au examination
of it was made in 1869 by tbe Norwe
gian bypograpbio survey, and an offi
cial report made. From, this report
we learn that in summer time tbe edr-
rent is comparatively calm for a short
time nt flood or ebb tide when boats
may venture upon it. In calm weath
er steamers can cross it at any state
of the tide, or large ships if a steady
wind is blowing. But in winter or in
storms it is highly dangerous for any
vessel to attempt to pass the whirl
pool Daring a storm from tbe west,
for instance, tbe current rans contin
ually toward the east at tbe rate of
six knots an hour, without change for
rising or falling of tide, and tbe
stream will boil and eddy in sueh
mighty whirls that the largest steam
er could hardly successfully contend
witb the waters. Of course tbe dan
ger is not in suction into tbe heart of
tbe whirlpool, as' many have sup
posed, bnt of being dashed to pieces
agninst tbe rooks. Dead whales are
sometimes thrown npon the neigh
boring coasts which hove evidently
been killed in that way. Tbe depth
of tbe whirlpool is only twenty fath
oms, but just outside tbe straights
sounding reaches from 100 to 200
fathoms.
WHICH IS COBBBCT.
HOW HE PRACTICED (ECONOMY.
A factory owner in Illinois went np
to Chicago not long since to raise a
couple of thousand dollars on a third
montgage, bnt be only found one cap
italist willing to advance tbe money,
und he wanted security outside of the
mortgago.
"Give you a chattel-mortgage on
my $3,000 turnout,” said the man.
"Tbe borae might die.”
"Weil, my wife bas $6,000 worth of
diamonds.”
"Yes, but in case of disaster she
might make- trouble.”
“I’ve got $10,000, worth of paint
ings in my pictark galley.”
“No good."
“Might take a second mortgage on
my opera house.”
“Not without outside seourily.
Haven’t yon been a little reckless
witb your income to indulge in so
mncli extravagance?"
“Extravagance! Great Scot 1 Why
I’ve cut down w^es three different
times within a year.”
No Time lo Spare.
Many of tbs simplest words in the
“King’s English” have, tbroogh affec
tation and folly, been so changed in
their pronunciation that one roust of
ten refer to the dictionary or glossary
for the correct pronunciation of even
dissyllables.
A gentleman sitting witb a friend
who is a railroad ticket agent, writes
“I’d just like to know wbat d-e-p-o-t
really spells,” said tbe ticket agent.
"Why?” - 1 asked.
“Because it is pronounced in a doz
en different ways every day at this
window. Now yon j^st sit here and
listen. I’m going to open the window
for the sale of tickets.”
A very stylishly-dressed bnt rather
nflected-looking young lady appeared
at tbe window.
“Is this the Boston and Albany
daypo ?’’ she said.
“It is, miss ?’’ politely replied tbe
clerk.
Then there appeared a dapper little
fellow, highly perfumed, dressed in
the extreme of fashion, his dainty
mustache curled, and every hair in his
head laid “jnst so.” He wore gold-
bowed eye-glasses, and carried a tiny
cane.
“Ah, may I ask, please, when the
train for Bnffalfi leaves this dippo ?”
Then a large old lady wearing
gingham dress and a green snnbonnet
came bustling np with a basset on
either arm.
Is there any train going to War-
ster after six to-night from this dee-
pot.’’
“That’s three,” said the agent, “and
I’ll wager anything that tbe young la
dy coming will ring in another
change of the word if she speaks it nt
all.”
“Is there n parcel and package win
dow at this depoe?" she asked, giv
ing marked emphasis to the final syl
table.
An artificial looking woman, witb
the powder in blotohes on her red
face, came next.
“I am going to New Yawk,” she
simpered, “am I in the right dippoo ?
“That’s tbe newest and worst of all 1
cried tbe agent, sinking into a chair
with an affeoted gasp.
A stout old man, with a shirt and
collar of unblefiobod linen, and a long,
loose coat of brown linen, came to tbe
window.
“I’m a-lookin’ for the Boston and
Alberny station-honse. Hev I found
her ?”
“Yon hev,” said my friend with per
fect gravity. And a moment Inter we
were both laughing heartily, tbe old
gentleman who bad “found her” hav
ing disappeared.

Uncle Bastas—“Well, I kaint do

The Caroline Islands, about wbioh
Spain and Germany recenlly bad tbe
little misunderstanding, are of tbe
group generally known as Ml
cron earn, and have for half a century
been a favorite field of labor for Am
erican missionaries. Tbe natives now
have about fifty churches, witb many
schools and other evidences of moral
and intellectual advancement', and
they no longer dress in savage cos
tume, having fully adopted Christian
apparel. The secretary of the Ameri
can board of foreign missions says
that tbe missionaries, in civilizing and
teaching the natives, bavo made the
islandg'wbat they ore.
A Hair Hestorer Won’t Bo.
“Wbat you want,” said the barber,
ns he ran through tbe few remaining
hairs on the head of a customer,
“wimt you want is a bottle of my hair
restorer.”
What I want,” replied the custom
er, “is a divorce.”
Kew York Mipttoh.
Something worse than opiom or
chloral is reported in tbe New York
Medical Society. Several city physi
cians found out that a few persons
were using hyosoine to'prod nee a sort
of intoxication that resulted io pro
found slumber. Tbe drag is a hydro-
browate, and has to a limited extent
been need in medicine in lieu of atro-
pbine for relief io epilepsy and other
diseases of the nerves. • It is obtained
from a German plant, and is usually
on sale by German apothecaries. The
snpply bas been small, And tbe price
nbont seventy-five cents a grain; bat a
suddenly increased demand deputed
tbe stock and sent tbe price to $1.
Tbe doBes most be infinitesimal in
order not to be dangerous, and tbe
peril of sel'-dosing lies in tbe liability
to kill by carelessly swallowing or by-
podermijally injecting too ranch. The
experimenters witb it proved obiefly
to be medioal students, drug clerks
and others acquainted witb its sopor
ific qualities. Hard drinkers em
ployed it to force sleep, and very ner
vous persons drove off insomnia with
In order to test its effects it has
been systematically administered to
tbirty-six insane patients in the State
hospital for tbe insane, by Drs. Lnng-
don and Peterson, who say that the
effects prove the very great danger of
byoscine eating. They found that it
would indeed compel sleep in most
cases, but that its habitual use would
surely briog muscular paralysis nml
delirium of a particularly violent sort.
The society will ask tbe legislature to
forbid its sale except on prescription.
An exoarsion party of New Eng
land veterans several hundred strong
visited Virginia a few days ago, and
were treated by tbe ex-Confederate
veterans and tbe citizens witb mark
ed attention and hearty hospitality.—
Daring their stay at Harrisburg, tbe
visitors iu a body marched to the
oometery and deoorated tbe graves of
tbe Confederate dead. Sueh mani
festations 'of fraternity and sympathy
between the North and South, be
tween a happy and re-nnited people,
are tbe best antidotes to the poison of
spleen and malice generated by parti
san politics. In heated political con
tests many things are said which are
wrong and harmful, and calculated to
wound tbe feelings, bnt all this is
temporary, it most give way to tbe
power of public opinion. Tbe heart
of the nation is all right.
Luck and Labor.
If tbs boy who exolaims “just my
luck I" was trnthfnl, be would say
“jnst my laziness I” (or “just my inat
tention.” 5fr. Cobden wrote proverbs
about Luck and Labor. It would be
well for boys to in»mr>n>,e tiiem:
Luck is waiting fur someiniug to
turn up.
Labor, with keen eyes and strong
will, will tarn np something.
Lack lies in bed and wishes the
postman would come and bring him
tbe news of a legacy.
Labor turns out at six o’clock, and
with bnRy pen or ringing hummer
lays the foundation for com; e'eure.
Luck whines.
Labor wbistles.
Luck relies on chances.
Laboron character.
Luck slips down to indulgence.
Labor strides np to independence.
