It is an old Baying that “rats desert n sinking ship,” but it is a most sing ular fact that they do not wait until n boat or barge is sinking until tney de sert it. They appear to be apprised of the danger sov.rnl hours before any aei'IdentsKiocurs to the vessel. One oasc that came under my observation was when I was piloting a towboat in the lower Mississippi. We were oom- ing up stream late one evening when I noticed a horde of rats coming off one of the barges we had in tow. I told some of the members of the Grew tliat wo would have bad luck. We went ahead, and just before daylight the burge from which the rats hud tied struck a rock and sunk. No damage was done to any other part of the shipping. The same phenomenon oc curred just before the fntnl lire of the steamer Oliver Belrne. On the last day of tlie boat’s career, about two hours before the lire, a drove of rats were seen to run astern over the lower deck and Jump overboard. HI1II0I1’. Iton.uuipiiou cure.

When a sailing, master wishes to buy oysters in the ports of the Ches apeake he runs up to the masthead an oyster basket, and presently has plenty offered at the vessel’s Bide. Down at Chincoteague island the basket at the masthead is sometimes accompanied by a flag of concentric squares in different colors. During the closed season for oysters the flag and basket indicate that the master es to buy clams.—New York Suh.

But ah! wlmt matter now: the grace Is vanished of her gentle touch: The heart that eared for all so much, Tlie noble mien, the loving face Have passed unto a higher place. The walks, the lawns, the rustling trees, • The mimic wood for many a fern Expect no more bor slow return; Now names, new voices catch the breeze, And all is changed save memories.

A snake not often heard of. a l least iti Amorim. is tlie liver colored snake v. ilii two heads, or perhaps they sllnalfl lie railed mouths, llmupll it does not have two mouths at the same time. They are reversible mouths, occupying the opposite end every six months. It lies with tin two ends crossed on each other, ns with folded hands. Every six months tlie change ot tlie seasons levers, s tlib flinctiomi of the two ends, tlie head heemning the tail and tlie tail becoming tlie bead. The mouth at one end heals or closes up all hut n smnll opening, while tlie opposite end becomes the mouth for the next six months. A friend of mine iu India who told me about this lomuri-.able snake said he refused for a long time to lielieve thnt the functions of the two ends were reversed every six months, hut one day lie found one of these snakes in the jungle and carried It home, where lie had a physician examine, it. The result was, the physician confirmed the stories of the creature mid my friend was skeptical no longer. I learned no other name for this singular reptile than that of “the liver colored snake.” -Hartford Times. A daunt* In NuinOt-on',, Will. Peter the Great is said to have made u will in which he exhorted his heirs to approach us nearly ns possible to Constantinople and to word India, hut the authenticity of this document has been disputed, uml it is shrewdly suspected to have been forged late in the Eighteenth century by August von Kotzebue. Of the genuineness, however, of the last will and testament of the first Najsi icon there can lie no manner of doubt. One of its clauses was ns vindictive ns the testamentary iu junction of Queen Austrigilda to her jiusliand to have her two doctors killed and buried with hor. The exile of Longwood absolutely bequeathed 10,000 francs to a fellow called Cantillou, who had been tried in Paris for nn attempt to murder the Duke of Wellington.

If Snpftrhitcndcut Byrnes would only run down n very plausible swindler who has juatS tjogmi oporutioua iu the old Ninth ward, the janitors of the many upurtmeutf houses iu that part of the city would‘sleep bottor these hot nights, Tho inau is a jj^nius in his way, and owes his Success to tho perfect manner in which hi) lias worked out the details of his sediemo.

As he looked at tljto apartments tho man rattled off a plausible story that was well calculated to deceive. Ho wished a fiat for • his old motbor, who was an invalid at. present residing in the coun try. He, was wealthy, being in busi ness in Brpadwayj and us he wished to make his motlior'a last days as comfort- able.aa possible, only the best rooms in the house' would suit him, The jani- tress showed lief sunniest apartments and the mun appeared delighted. Ho ordered the rooms thoroughly cleaned, and was about taking his departure when the juuitress suggested that it was customary to loavo a doposit. The *man put his band in liis pocket, and with an exclamation of impatience remarked that he left his office in a hurry and forgot to bring any money with him. Then lio remembered that ho had a cheelq which of course was just the same, tt was for ten dollars, and ho requested the janitress to take three dollars deposit on tho rent, one dollar on the keys, anil givo the woman two dollars for tho cleaning. lie would leave tho whole amount, only he would have to pay for Ihe moving beforo ho got buck to his office. The junitmu was so improved with Ms offlmud man ner that she regretted she hadn’t four dollars in tho house, and felt rather sinull when site came back and told the man she had only three dollars. He seemed a little disappointed at first, but took the money uml said he would trust her for the balance until ho returned in the evening. The janitress congratu lated herself upon having secured a good tenant, and it wosu’t until the rooms were all ns cleau as the proverbial new pin that she took the check to a store to have it cashed.

It has fleshy roots, which penetrate to a great depth, mak ing it suitable for rather dry places.
