THE FESTIVE OYSTER.
At the New York Microscopical Society
Professor Samuel Lockwoood, Ph. D.,
Secretary of the New Jersey State Micro
scopical Society, read a paper on the
"Natural History of the Oyster.” Aftei
speaking of the great systems in physi
ology known as the negative, the profes
«or took up the ingestion, respiration and
< irculation of the tjyster, which he illus
trated with the help of the blackboard
*nd diagrams. In regard to the inges
tive system, he showed the course which
the water took in conveying food to the
mouth of the oyster, and described the
acfaon of the hps of the oyster in elimi-
Vetoed from the water.
Hie position of the stomach was then
s own with the involuted intestines, and
where the faecea were discharged at a
*pot where the effete water that had
bfen taken to the mouth, returned in ?
stream thus carrying the fcecal refuse
mt of the shells. Further on he showed
w peculiar internal structure of the in
by which the great surface was
inf ti^ vaila^e {or the absorption of food
the general system.
In regard to the respiration, he showed
how the water entered the gills, and by
a senes of innumerable millions of little
lashes in action, like oars, carry the water
through the minutest part of the gills
eliminating the oxygen from the con
m< ( air. In respect to the circulation

DRIVING OVER TORPEDOES*
Lewis E. Dawson, a Philadelphia pt>
liceman, claims the honor of having
taken Gen. McClellan safely through, ok
rathyr over, one of tho greatest dangers
>f his life. “It was the time the rebels
evacuated Yorktown,” said the
rm, '‘before the seven days’ fight in the
Peninsula. I wsc then driving McClel
land private nmbulance, a sort of Ger
mantown wagon, that he had had fitted
>p for his own use. It would carry four
persons comfortably, and I had a team
of four splendid homes to draw it% Wtell,
the rebels skipped out of YorktoWn one
Saturday night, bnt before they went
they filled all the roads in and around
the town with torpedoes—-buried ’em
under a thin scum of earth, you know,
so that you couldn’t see the blained
tilings till you stepped on ’em, Olid then
after that you never saw anything else.
The Sunday after the evacuation was a
beautiful day, but that night it rained aa
it just knew how to rain down oh the
Peninsula, and the mud—well, it knew
how to make mud, too. It was about ft
foot deep, I reckon, when I started on
Monday morning from McClellan's head
quarters, four miles out, to drive to
Yorktown,
“There were four officers in the
ambulance—Gen. McClellan, Ooh Col
burn, his chief of staff; Gen. Franklin,
and Gen. Fitz John Porter. It was still
raining, and the ambulance curtains Were
closed. We got along all right till we
came to the entrance to the Yorktown
fortifications, and there, right in the nar
rowest part of the way, was an ammuni
tion wagon, broken dor'll in the mud,
and beside it was a stick planted in the
mud, with a Httle red flag hanging from
it. I knew what it was as soon as I saw
it; the rain had washed the dirt off one of
them bloody torpedoes, and the soldiers
had found it and marked it; you bet they
wasn’t going to dig it up without positive
orders.
“Well, I stopped my team and Gen.
McClellan stuck his head through the
curtains and looked about him. There
were some soldiers standing around, and
among them was a Lieutenant.
“ ‘Don’t let our men take up any of
these torpedoes. Make the prisoners do
it.’
“Then he looked at tho wagon, and
asked me :
“ ‘Do you think you can get past ?’
“ ‘Yes,’ I said. ‘I guess I can, if I
straddle that torpedo.’
“ ‘Well,’ said he, ‘go ahead. I expect
we’ll all be blown to thunder together.’
Those were the very words he used. So
I threw my long whip down between the
horses to keep them apart as far as possi
ble, and drove ahead, and we got into
Yorktown without touching the torpe
do.'”
“And what did McClellan say then?’
“He never said a word. When we got
into Yorktown he left the ambulance and
went into a house, and presently he sent
.m orderly out to tell me to go back to
headquarters. I had no sooner reached
there than I received orders to turn
around, return to Yorktown, and follow
the army, so I Lad to drive over that
i 'lamed torpedo three times. I got kinder
used to it at last and was ready to bet
that I could do it every time.”
Loss of Life at Sea.
From the annual report of the Super
vising Inspector-General of Steam Ves
sels, Mr. Dumond, there is obtained
much interesting and instructive infor
mation regarding the loss of life and
property through accident to that class
of carriers. During the fiscal year the
total number of accidents resulting in
loss of life was: From direct collisions,
16; explosions, 15; fires, 7; “snags,
wrecks, and sinking,” 3, making a total
of 41. The number of fives lost was:
By explosions, 53; by fire, 60; by collis
ions, 34; by accidental drowing, 46; by
miscellaneous casualties, 6, and by
“snags, wrecks, and sinking,” 6. The
total number of persons carried dirring
the year, including officers and crew, was
354,070,447, showing that the loss of life
was only 1 to every 1,727,172 persons
carried. During the year 1851, the year
previous to the enactment of the steam
boat laws, of which those now in force
are codifications, 39,000,000 passengers
were carried and 700 live s lost, being 1
fife in every 55,714 passenger's carried.
These figures are cited in proof of the
excellence of tho present system of in
specting steam vessels. That they show
a marked improvement since 1851 is, of
course, not to be denied, but they are
very far from proving that the system is
as perfect or the officers engaged under
it as efficient and faithful as they should
be.
“ In choosing a wife,” says the Phre
nplogical Journal, “be governed by
her chin.” The worst of it is that, after
having chosen a wife, one is apt to
keep on being governed in the same
way. . _ „ .
DALTON, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1883.
Indian Cwn.
Dr. Byron B. Halstead, at the winter
iu Northampton; of the Massa
chusetts Board, epoke of Indian com,
the yield of which the present season
will approach very near two billion
bushels, raised olii< fly in six States, nnd
oh ah area thirteen times ns largn as
Massachusetts, which produced two mil
lion bushels and was the first iu the
world to be planted with corn by civil
ized man. Corn is of a plastic nature
end can adapt itaelf to widely diftatont
indttences. The many sorts now grown
was probably developed from a single
source and from a variety much inferior
to our best kinds now. Coin is divided
into flint and dent varieties, field or gar
den, or sweet, pop and husk-covered,
the latter believed by many to represent
the original habit of growth. From four
to forty rows axe found in an ear, al
ways an even niunber, Varieties fire
cultivated that reabh a height of only
two feet, while others shat their tbps so
that a man on horseback can sfeaicoly
reach ihc-til. Tho kernels are many
shaped and many colored, and the grain
varies in weight from fifty-six to sixty
four pounds per bushel. The kernel is
made up of the chit or embryo, and
Starch and oil for feeding it during its
early growth. Like most of all other
plants it has its roots, stem and leaved.
The Value of tho entire crop of the
United States is not less than seven hun
dred million dollars’ worth for each of
the hundred days of ita growth; though
as corn grows but little during cold
spells, the money value is increased
most rapidly during the hottest days
just succeeding showers, when there
must at times be twenty or more mil
lions of dollars’ worth grown iu a single
twenty-four hours. The sexual charac
ter of tbe plant was described with its
mole blossoms on tbe spindle and the
female organs on the ear, giving us the
power to cross-breed and make new vari
eties by careful selection and manipula
tion. Much can be done to increase the
average yield of the country by selection
of seed and growing seed especially for
planting. A variety with the habit of
producing one fine ear is better than one
that may produce several small ears.
The cob should be small, the husk soft.
Early growth is also an important char
acteristic. The person who is fortunate
enough to originate a new variety of
marked superiority to an; now existing
will be classed among the benefactors of
the race. America is the peculiar home
of the corn plant; England would gladly
give a thousand fortunes could she suc
cessfully raise this grain, which is every
inch a king.
A Forgiving Woman.
The forgiving disposition of some
women was wonderfully illustrated iu the
Court of General Sessions of New York
City tbe other day. Albert Arthur was
tried upon the charge of attempting to
kill his young wife, Nellie Arthur, a va
riety actress. The evidence was that he,
prompted by jealousy, attacked her in a
private box of a theatre in which she was
employed, and stabbed her eleven times.
She lay at the point of death for weeks,
but when she quitted the hospital it was
found that she had forgiven her cruel
husband, and was unwilling to testifv
•gainst him. Diu-iug his trial, the evi
dence of other witnesses being sufficient,
she went frorjuently to the prisoners’
box, and sent him luncheon at recess.
Arthur was convicted, however, and the
probability is that he will spend some
in years State prison.
Tho Crown I’rmce of Germany, who
takes deep interest in the village schools
near his estate at Potsdam, visited the
school at Bornstedt the other day to see
‘he newly-appointed master. He had
scarcely entered the room when a mes
senger arrived with a telegram summon
ing the master to come to his mother
who was dying in a neighboring village.
Tlie Crown Prince insisted that the mas
ter should instantly depart. “But the
children —the school—how can I leave
them ?” cried the agonized and perplexed
man. “Tut! never mind such things,”
answered the Prince; "I will teach the
school until the vicar comes to prepare
candidates for confirmation. Go 1 run !
<nd may you find her yet alive!” So for
more than an hour the heir to the Im
oerial throne examined and instructed
die children, until tho vicar came, to
whose eare he then entrusted the school.

HE WOULD GO TO KEA.
The Hemnnre of Comnuindcr Cor»t*ire'»
boyhood
Commanded Gonrihga, of a United
States Navy, is deseended from an an
■eieni Swedish family named Gorings.
His father went to the Barbadoes imme
diately after taking his degree at Oxiord,
and there settled down as a clergyman
of the Church of England. He married
a daughter of A fellow clergyman ; and it
was in this charming seu-homs Hint the
two young feared tludr flv® chil
dren. They had everything heart could
vish for—position, means, health and
’Prosperity, Tlie worst troubles they had
to encounter were vicarious—for they suf
fered Only through their parishioners—
and their days of joy grew to months and
years, and still the sttn shone.
The first jar came when the second boy,
Harry, walked into his father’s study one
day and announced that ho could not
stand school-going, but must lie a sailor,
adding with the honesty that has never
left hiin i
“I tell yon, papa, because if you do
not let me go, I will run away.”
Mr. Gorringe thought it over, and
next morning had a talk with the l>oy
out of which grew the following treaty :
He was io return to school and stay one
year, which would bri 'g him to the age
of fourteen ; then, if ha still felt his hap
piness lay in a sea life, he was to be
shipped with a friend of his father's to
learn nis chosen profession. The subject
was then dropped, and matters went on
so quietly that Mr. Gorringe forgot all
about it. Not so the boy; on the last
day of the year of probation, he went to
his fathex and quietly said :
“The year is up, papa. ‘
“What year, my boy?”
“My year of waiting and now I
want to go to sea,”
Poor gentleman He went in dismay
to his wife—as the wisest man will do
when family puzzles arise—and it was
decided in solemn conclave to send the
boy a sailoring under a captain who
would disgtist him with Bea-life ohde ami
forever. A vessel was in from England,
commanded by an old commercial friend
of the pastor ; and to him he unfolded
the cose. He shipped his son as cabin
boy; and after- putting a sum of money
and a kit of “storo-elotlief” in the cap
tain's charge, bode ndfeU to him and
went home heavj-heaited.
Captain Gorringe says his first taste of
sea-life came as he hung over the rail,
with a lump in his throat, and looked
and looked at his home. As ho gazed at
it through a haze of tears that twisted
and distorted its outlines into all sorts of
fantastic shapes, a rough hand took bin
by the ear, and a rough foot kicked him
forward with an mth-gamished order to
go aloft, or else take a taste of rope’s end.
After this he did see sea-life in ite most
trying phases, but reached England un
dismayed, and was there arrested by his
uncle, and shut up until a letter from the
West Indies assured him that his nephew
had not run away, and that the whole
social system of the Barbadoes had not
gone to wreck, even though its pastor's
son was shipped ns a sailor before the
most on a merchantman.
By the time this letter came the first
ship had sailed; but the plucky txiy en
listed on another and started for India.
Connecticut Valley Sandstone.
Mr. Elias Nason reports, in a Boston
paper, that some very fine sjm cimens of
tracks have lately been uncovered in the
famous quarry at Turner’s Falls, Mass.
One of the slabs has on it a series of
15-inch tracks (three toed), the stride
measuring five feet. Mr. Nason was per
mitted to take with him several beautiful
specimens, one of which exhibits the
delicate tracery of the feet of an insect
escaping over the soft mud; another ex
hibits the ripples of the wave, another
the drops of rain, and others have well
defined imprints of the tracks of liirds.
He also saw tho impressions of sererol
kinds of ferns and grasses. Mr. Stough
ton, who is working this geological mine,
considers some of the largest slabs to be
worth from SSOO to $1,000; but tbe cost
of excavating them is heavy.
This whole region is supjiosed to have
been originally covered by the sea. As
the waves receded, birds and quadrupeds
whose species are extinct left tbe impres
sions of their feet upon the mud, which,
iiardening into stone, has held them
through the ages for the examination of
the scientists of the present day. Com
pared with these tracks as to age, the

STORY OF “RIP VAN WINKLE.”
There acetns to be good reason for be
lieving that the atory of 'Rip Van
; Winkle” existed in similar ferrn long be
i sere Washington Irving gave it to (hi
American public. Mr. Griffis, in hi
work entitled "Tbe Mikado's Empire,’
says: “The atory (of Chinese origin) is,
ns told by Japanese story-tellers, ns fol
lows: Lu-wen was a pious wood-cutter,
who dwelt at tbe base of the majestic and
holy mountain Tendai, tbe most glorious
peak of tire Naulin range in China
Though he thought himself familiar with
the patlis, he for some reason one day
i lost his way, and wondered about, having
his ax with him. He did not care,
however, liecanse tho beauty of the land
scape, the flowers and the sky seemed to
possess his senses, and he gave himself
up to the ecstasy of the hour, enjoying
all tbe pleasant emotions of holy con
bmplation. All at once he heard a
crackling sound, ami immediately a fox
ran out before him and into the thicket
again.
“The wood-cutter started to pursue it.
He ran some distance, when suddenly be
; emerged into a space where two lovely
ladies, seated on the ground, were en
gaged in ploying a game of checkers.
The bumpkin stood still and gazed with
all his sight at the wonderful vision of
beauty before him. The players appeared
to bo unaware of the presence of an in
truder. Tho wood-cutter still stood look
ing on, and soon became interested in
the game ns well as tho fair players.
Aftet some minutes, ns he supposed, he
bethought himself to return. On at
tempting to move away, his limbs felt
very stiff, and his ax-handle fell to pieces.
Stooping down to pick up the worm-eaten
fragments, he was amazed to find, instead
of his shaven face of the morning, a tang
white beard covering his bosom ; while,
on feeling his head, he discovered on it
a mass of silken, white hair. The
wrinkled old man, now dozed with won
der, hobbled down the mountain to his
native village.
“He found the streets the same, but
the houses were filled with new faces;
crowds of children gathered round him,
teasing and laughing at him ; the dogs
barked at the stranger, and the parents
of the children shook their heads and
wondered among themselves sis to
whence the apparition had come. The
old man, in the agony of despair, asked
for his wife and relatives. The incredu
lous people set him down os n fool,
knowing nothing of whom he asked, and
treating his talk as the drivel of lunatic
senility. Finally, an old grondam hob
bled up and said she was a descendent of
the seventh generation of a man named
Ln-wen. Tire old man groaned aloud,
and, turning his back, retraced his
weary steps to the mountain again. He
was never heard of more, and it is be
lieved he entered into the company of
the immortal hermits and spirits of the
mountain.”
B. M. Baumann, a traveler, says :
"I mav odd that during my recent
rambles in Japan, not only did I hear
the tale, as told by Mr. Griffis, con
firmed by the natives, bnt I was also
i shown a Netsuke or ivory representation
of Rip as a very old man with long hair
and beard, leaning on an ax."
A Monopoly of ’49.
Mr. Henry L. Goodwin, of East Hart
ford, Conn., made a good share of his
large fortune by a curious sort of mo
nopoly. He was a California "forty-
I niner,” and in those early days, when
Ban Francisco and its vicinity had a
! wretchedly poor supply of drinking
water, he was one evening charged half a
dollar by a man who owned a well for a
j drink for his oxen. That made him mad
i and he resolved that he too would be
-1 come known as man-who owns a-well.
With the aid of bis partner, an engineer, i
he bored eighty feet deep on his town
lot and there struck an inexhaustible I
supply of the best water jet foundonths j
whole coast. Then be established a free
i drinking fountain for all pas--ers-by but I
for all other purposes he sold tho water, I
six gallons tor a cent. Cattle owners ,
could have their stock watered for fifty ;
cents a yoke per week. For a long time |
everyone who wanted pure water had to
go to Goodwin’s well for it, and a hand
some fortune was realized therefrom. —
