With the aisistano. of Mitnael, Colgate waa quickly and aeenrely bound, much to bin horror and snrpriae. “Can yon carry him, Hannel ?” asked Thornton, aa he pat oat the light and raiaad the lodge oorer. “Tee; bat yon moat watch me.” “CertAlnly.” Manual busted himself for a short time preparing aome atraps, with which he faatened the prisoner to his back, and then on hands and knees be orawled out, followed by the Captain. “Keep eloae behind me, Captain, with yonr men, and do not rise till I give the rigHil.” V “All right, Uannel, keep on.” Ont through the darkneea, in the direc tion where Valdez and his friends were waiting, the part; orawled cautiously, ■topping now and then, by mutual con sent, to aioertain if the breaking of the dry twigs under their feet was attracting attention. They bad gone over half the distanee unobserved, when anddenly an Indian nprose in their path and demanded in a load voice, “Who oomes this wsy ?" The response wss a stunning blow from one of the sailors, which served to qniet the Indian; bnt it ronsed the oamp, for it warned the moment the one warrior tonohed the earth a hnndred sprang up around him. “Biae and fun, Captain !” Manuel, suiting the notion to the word, and apparently nnmindfni of the' burden which he bore, started off at a rapid run in the direotion where Valdez was oon- cealed. In leas time than it takas to write it the Indian camp was a scene of the wildest commotion, and the warrion like demons dashed down on the escaping party. Thornton, whose limbs were still stiff and sore from his recent bonds, could not keep np with the fleet-footed Manuel, nor did that burdened individual atop to seo the result to bis friend., but kept on till breathless, he threw his load on the ground, and explained the situation to Valdez. “I hear them fighting! Now or never, my men f Forward!” The Spaniards answered with a cheer, aid charged to the reseue of the hard pressed Thornton. W bile this was going on on the hill, the man in the earth-work hear the village opened a rattling fire; so that the distracted Kosuo could not iin- Sgine which was the point of most danger. The Indians gave way before the im- petsons onset, and Thornton, who was staggering from the blow of a war club, heard bis name called, and the next mo ment he was in the arms of his friend. Valdez, now thoroughly aroused, would have kept on, bnt Thornton, knowing ihe. odds be would have to contend with, ad viced him to fall back to bis former posi tion, which be did very reluctantly. “We can take the gag ont of this fel low's month now,' I think," said. Thorn, ton, as they stood beside the prostrate pi rate. “Yet. Yelling will do him no good now; bnt take my advice about it—make abort work and little trouble of him. Let a half dosen of yonr men load their inns- kete and tie done with him. The bluck flend hae forfeited his life ten thousand times;” “True, Captain; bat if we can carry him through, try bim fairly, and punish him according to law, all the better.” “I w—py— so, Thornton ; but you cold blooded Englishmen can be more deliber ate for the eake of a judicial ceremony than we of bolter blood. If men forfeit their lives, I believe the first honest man they have wronged should take the for feit.” “Yae; bnt if we can taka him through, all the better," I have a reason for it," (‘Very well,Thornton ; I agree to what ever yon any,” Valdez - theiMjflejailefi the plan he had adoptfed with the^aid of Kennel, and con- ataded :' “From what Manual baa learned, I am satisfied your sister and this Indian girl are eomi place in the lake ■ no donbt at this much dreedfd gacred Island. If my council weighs with you, I should say I there with all oat Iowa at onoe. We have at our disposal every cnnoo be longing to the Mikasaukees.” “Your judgment is sound and your ad vice clear. I have nothing to gain by Btaying to fight the Indiana, and if Julia were only in my keeping, I could return happy at once.” Captain Valdez had seen Julia's childish portrait, and the young Spaniard, with a knightly gallantry peonliar to Lis nation and that age, longed to be the chniupion who would free the beautiful gill, and in hia dreams he saw himself blessed with her love, and holding her hand as they stood before an altar and a white-rolied priest. The preliminaries were soon arranged, and the fleet of oanoea filled-with the boI- diers and sailors, while the oanocs that oonld not be used were cautiously out adrift. 'I will keep in the advance, and if she be on the Sacred Isle, you must land to ascertain; I cannot.” “Why not, Manuel?” asked Thornton. “I would die. There was never a Mika- saukeo tonohed those shores and lived.”' “Very well, Manuel. We like yon too much to endanger your life, and respect yonr faith too uracil to ask you to violate it. Onide us to the Sacred Isle, and we will attend to the rest.” At a signal given by Thornton the fleet of canoes moved, and Manuel, guided l>y the stars, led the way. Colgate lay in the bottom of the great war oanoe, unbound, but too weak and disheartened to escape, and too oowardly to carry into exeention what he often thought of—that is, self-destruotion many years ago, our young men found a canoe on tlm shore, and in it lay ' a white mau, nearly naked, suffering with wounds, and ns bo himself supposed dying.” “I remember that,” whispered the white man, in a okoking voice. “I do not recall it to elioit a repetition of the gratitude that has ever stirred your heart. You were the strangor that fate threw on our shoreB. We did not hold a oounoil to deoide what should te done; but at once took you to our homes and our hearts, and nursed you baek to life. The wisdom yon brought front the great unknown wurld was lo us so great a blessing that onr people believed you a messenger from the better world. We never questioned you, nor asked a pledge, but that you should make our people your people nud our Clod yonr God. One day, ub you nnd I sailed .'on the lake, you told me the story of your life. Can you se- oall it now ?” “Yes, it is before me an ever oxisting reality. Day by day it is in my thoughts, night utter night in my dreams.” “I would not pain you by reoalling it, but it is ueceBsary to what I have to say," said Arlztah, in a soothing tone, then he ' went on, “You told me about your beau tiful homo in the land you called Wales, of your young wife and her death, whioh came not till she had left you two chil dren, a hoy and a girl. I know not tba feeling one has for children of the flesh, but if it be like tbs love I entertain for my spiritual children, they mnst have been neur to your heart. You sailed for a far off land, master of a groat oanoe, like a floating nation, and your The Mikasaukees saw the oanoea moving! I daughter accompanied yoii. You crussed away, bnt they were powerless to resist, and Btill more at a loss to divine the ob ject of their foes. The pirates remaining with them did not regret what they con sidered their osptain’s death ; but, with out a leader, they had neither courage nor object, and so stood bewildered among the Indians. While Thornton and hiB friends are moving toward the Saored Island, and Kosno and his Mikasaukees are wonder ing at the remarkable series of events transpiring about them, let us take a glance at our friend Costillo, the faithful first officer of the Julia. After Captain Thornton left, Costillo set himself to work to repair the damage the Julia bad sustained in the fight with the Heroules. This was soarcely done, when Senor Valdez, the oommandant of Tam pa, sent for him. . “I have just heard from the Hercules, Lieutenant Costillo.’’ “Indeed! What of her, Senor Com mandants ?” “She is now in Charlotte Harbor, nearly denuded of her crew. My informant, who is a most intelligent half breod scout, says that Morton is in command of the ship, and that he does not think there aro forty men aboard fit for duty.” “Where is Colgate ?” “Gone to take Okeechopee, with all (ho rest of his men.” “Would it be safe for me to attack the Hercules ?” “I think bo; slid I can snpplcmout .your crew by fifty inuro men, if neces sary.” Costillo held down his head. Were he chief officer, bo would not hesitate a mo ment ; but being only second in com mand, he feared to risk what might ho a failure, and so told Senor Valdez. “Failure! There can he none; and to show yon how confident I am of success, I will accompany you. What say you ?” “Tis a bnrgainexolaimed Costillo, shaking heartily the proffered hand; then asking: “When will yon be ready ?” “In au hour, if the Julia can be got ready for uoa.” “She is ready now. I will go on board tQ prepare.” Costillo hastened on board, and the mo ment it became known the Julia was to attack the Hercules, the men sprang to their work with cheers. Provisions and ammunition were sent on board, and before the hour was up the commandantc came ou board with his com pany. aiul iho men were assigned their posts. “To have the Hercules here when they return—why, it would be an achievement most grand !” exclaimed the old soldier, as the Julia sailed out the bay. “Yes; and if we do not succeed, it will not be our fault. The Senorita is brave to remain behind.” “Yes,” said the commandant; she is in command of the fort.” . r*„ CHAPTER XXV. TUB OLD PBIEHTT STORY. Arlztah, as he sat down beside the white mao, reached out his hand, and taking np the golden locket, which the old man had dropped on his knee, he opened the lids and looked at the beautiful girl face within. The priest’s baud trembled, and an ashy hue overspread his bronzed face. : < m “What, affects ray friend? He seems not well," said the. White man. • “Yes, perfectly well now; but I have beeu startled.by this face. I have seen it in the flesh. ” “Seen it in the flesh!” exclaimed the white man. “Yea; bat be calm. I promised to tell yon a story. Will yon listen—nor importune me to-day more, when I tell you I have finished ?’* “You have ever been to wise and good that it would ill become me to ask for aught you did no} deem it proper to tell." “Then listen.” The old Priest laid his hand on the white man’s knee and con tinued, “Yon know the story of my peo ple, bow many generations ago they fled from the for off land of the Azteo and ■•tiled on this island ?” “Yoo, I know all that.” “And yon know that for long genera tions onr island was sealed to the world, till only the prieata knew a world existed beyond the waters that wash the shores of onr boantifnl home. We deairod this, for being happy among ourselves, wo had no daal— to look boyond. Ono day, not tko grout world of waters, aud at length foil iu with a bad man—a sea robber— whose force, compared with yours, was as two to one ; but you fought him, and he conquered. Some of your men who sur vived joined the sea robbers, aud others preferred to follow their commander, who was condemed to death. Ah ! I remem ber how my heart bled at the thought of man’s cruelty when you toUl*meof how tiny bound you hau«l and foot, and placed you over the Rkip’HsiJe on tbe end of a pi.ink, Dil l hurlfd their miariks of death at you as you fell iulo (he sea. But the God who dwei’s iu the kuj—tho God of tho white mau oud red—watched over you. Tbe missiles of death did uo harm, and you rose to tho surface, bound though you were, and looking to tho sun you bo- catuo as safe on the surface of tho great wat« rs as a child in its mother’s arms. The ship stiled ou, aud soon your bouud feet struck a reef that gave support, and you cluug there till tho sun—tho home of onr God—was soUiug. Then came Indians from the laud iu their cuioes, aud they found you and severed your cords, and carried you to the laud. Is not this as you told it?” “Yes, Arlztah, even as it was.” “The Indians rescued you from one death to doom you to auother. They kept you for a few days, and their wise men decided you should die, but again the Great Father saw your distress and you escaped. You passed through tbe jungles uud came lo the shores of a great lake. Here you found a cauoe aud entered it, aud you drifted, starving uud wounded, till your reason left you, aud in that cauoe my people found you ou tho shores of our Sacred Island.” “True, Arlztah.” “You have often spoken to me about your daughter. She fell iuto the bauds of tho robbors of tbe Hoa “Sbo did. ’ , Tbo w hite man dropped bis bond upon his bunds, nnd through his furrowed cheeks the crystal tears fell as he spoke, aud his voico was ehokod with sobs. “She fell iuto the h mds of the robbors, but she remained not there. Listen to me, my frioud. What I tell you, is os if I spoke in u d' oam.” The white man straightened up, and looked into th9 face of his friend. “I am listening, Arlztah. Speak, that my heart can be eased.” “I dreamt,” said tho old priest, “that your daughter was pent by tho chief of the robbers of tho sea to be cared for by a tribe of Indians known as.tbe Mikasau kees till Colgate, the head man, should come to claim her as bis wife ; And in my dreams I saw this girl growing up to beautiful womanhood, loved and honored for her purity, yet ever dreading tho ad vent of the murderer of her father—the man who cluimed her as the right of a husband. In my dreams—for they must be dreams—I saw her escapiug from this tribe when tho time came for Colgate to claim her. I saw her floeiug with an In dian girl, her friend, and seeking our isle for safety; arid us jou first came, so I saw her drifting to our home. I dreamt, in this dream of which I speak, that last night a cunoe came to our island containing two women—the one bright aud beautiful, and white os the blossoms of the magnolia; the other complexioned like the sunset—dark, ruddy, aud black- eyed as when the sun sets. And my young men found them iu a canoe, as they found you long years ago.” “Ych, yes, Arlztah; bnt this was a dream.” “We will cull it a dream ! I saw in the dream the face of this girl, more mature and more beautiful even than this picture shows it.” Tbe white man openod the looket and glanced at the picture, and drew a long sigh as he did so. “Would that your dream were a reali ty,” he exclaimed ns he let tho golden locket drop from his clasp. “8oppo»iug it were real; supposing that my dream were a reality, and what I tell you as a dream were a faot, what then ?’’ “Yon mean what woujd I think if my daughter were hero in tho flesh ?” “Yea, that is what I mean.” “Then, Arlztah, I would say let me see her ouce again ! Let me hold her in my arms and clasp her to my heart; and pressing my lips to her cheek, let me call her daughter and die. 1 could do bo, knowing the would be safe in yonr bands.” The white man looked np earnestly aud glanced about him, as if his } nycro won d bring his daughter to his side. Listen ! What I said was not a dream—twas real. This morning the oauoe came to our shores. It contained the white girl'ami tho Indian. My sons brought them to tho heart of the island, and I hoard their story. Tho ono is your daughter—the other is the daughter cf Kosuo, an Iiuiiau chief. Will you remain on the island if she be henceforth with you “Yes, yes! I can die her* in bliss if Julia be by my side.” When the white tuan ceased speakiug, tho priest waved his hand, aud soon Julia, followed by her Indian friend, entered the plaza, aud the white man, glanoiug at them, fell prostrate to the e irth. [to be continued. J Going by tbo Thermometer. Some people are so Killy as to suppose that the uir of a room should be kept at a certain temperature. For iustance, we hang up a thermometer iu tho living room, Aud when a guest begins to fidget in his corner furthest from the “register,” mopping his forehead, rubbing bis eyes, talking of going, niul may be calls it “warmtusido tho house this evening,” we can shut him up directly by referring to the thermometer—“only 70 deg., that’s summer heat you know.” But if we will think of it, we shall see that a thermome ter is uo measure of the vivifying quality of the air. Suppose wo do keep our rooms at “summer heat” to a nicety? That warmth is better for tbe Heeds of typhus than it is for us, if our apartments aro not regnlurly purified by sunlight and blusts of wind. A house cauuot bo heated by a furnace with economy of health, however it may bo of fuel, uuless you let tho wind in often, at doors and windows, blowing Out every crevice. We were never made to exist iu a perfectly regular toui- peruture, and when wo have shut our selves in it, und with nil our arts have got oontrol of a little oubo of God’s earth and air—providiug we thumb dampers and registeis at the nick of time, mid have n dolieate nostril for carbonic acid—how uufit are we to stand things as they re main in the bulauce of the world ? Ah scieutiflo experiments, those fiddling trials by thermometer are all very well. They will servo a good turn, if to convince us at lust that there is uo possibility of so- questering auy real good to ourselves. Wo may crawl into sung quartern over night, but our best life consists in being reudy to take the brunt of the world us it happens to turn up in the moruing. NDIAN ITEMS A ShAkspeiirinn Somnambulist. A somnambulist, having been for boiuo days deep in Shukspoaro, cauio down stairs tho other night at half-past eleven (an hour after he had retired) iu extreme dishabille, his eyes “iu a lino freuzy roll ing,” and brandishing iu bis hand a boot jack, while the following explosion burst from bis excited lips: “Is this it dagger that I boo before me? No, it is a rut without a tail, one who has lovod not wisely, but too well, in childishness and mere oblivion. My father—mothiuks I see my father—a motley fool, a miserable Varlet, with spectacles ou nose ami pouch on side, creeping like snail unwillingly to school, and soekiug the bubble reputation even at the cauuou’s mouth. Como ou, Macduff! Now is the winter of our dis content. Come, let mo clutch thee ; per dition catch my soul, but I do love thee. What! wouldsfc thpu slander her and tor ture me, between the wind uml my nobili ty ? No more of that, Hal, an’ thou lovest me. Infirm of purpose, givo me the dag gers. I’ll do—1*11 do—murder most foul, fill all thy boues with aches, make thee roar, for I have touched the highest poiut of all my greatness. Avaunt, and qu ; t my sight; to bod—to bod. ’Tis now tho very witching time of night. How many thousands of my poorest subjects are at this hour asleep, like quills upon the fret ful porcupine, so Withered and so wild iu their attire! Gaunt thou not minister to a tuind diseased, doomed for a certain term to walk the n : ght, Nans teeth, huh eyes, suns everything? Nay, then, fare well ; I go and it is done ; the bell invites me to bed—to bod. My kingdom for a horse.” It is needless to say that a doc tor was immediately called in to minister to this victim of somuambulism. Can't Judge by Appearance*. Lawyer—Mr. Sergeant, were you ever in Benjamin Kimball’s bar-room? Witness—Yen, s-i-f! L.—Did you ever soo auy liquor there ? W.— No, H-i-r! L.—Did you see anything containing liquors there ? W.—Not as I know of. L.—Did you see any decunters or tum blers there ? W.—No, s«i-r! L.— Did you sec any barrels or kegs there ? W.—Yes; I saw' some /cuffa there! L.—Ah, yes!

L.—Yes, sir; but were there no marks upon the outside—tickets, or labels, s or printing, or w ritiug of some kind ? W.—Yes ; well there wua ; I imucmhor it neow ; I veow I should have forgot it, if you hadn’t pul mo in mind on’t! L.—Oh, yes, you do remember! Just state, then, sir, before you forgot, what there was printed or written. W.—It was different ou nil of ’em ; none of ’em hud it alike. L.—Well, sir, te’l ns what it said on the fir at cue you saw. W.—Well, I mostly forget noow ; but I b'lievc it said gin ou the first ono. L.—Giu! Then, sir, I guess wo can find out what there was in tflose kegs, if you didn’t look iu. Now, sir, tell us wliut it said on tho next'oue. W.—Well, on the next one it said Ben Kimball ; but I didn't suppose lien Kim- ball waa inaide the hug ! Fultz Wheat.—Mr. John A. Parker, of Tappahannock, Va, says ho finds that sowing oue-half bushel of this wheat to the aero is amply sufficient. It branches better than any other kind he ban yet seen, and nt Iho time of writing (January 18) ahowa much better than any fields of other kinds on which ono and a half bush els per acre were aown. “Tho little par cel sent by the Department three years ago has caused a revolution in wheat rais ing here.’’ Wafer Gingerbread.— Half a pound of flour, half a pound of the courses! brown sugar, quarter of a pound of butter, one doshcrt spoonful of allspice, two dessert spoonfuls of ground ginger, the peel of half a lemon grated, and the whole of the juice. Mix all these ingredients together, adding about half a pound of treacle, so as to make a paste sufficiently thin to spread upon sheet tins; beat it well, but ter the tins, aud spread the paste thinly over them. Bake it in rather a slow oven, and watch it till it is done. Withdraw the tins, cut it in squares with a knife the usual size of water biscuitp, aud roll each round.tho fingers as it is raised from the tin. nr MRS. 8. V. CHANDLER. A friend relates that in “tho olden times” there was nn Indian doctor named Jacob, tall aud stately, that used to couie to her house, aud was thoroduriug tho to tal eclipse of the suu iu 18111. She asked him “if ho had ever seen the like be fore?” “Yes, when ho was a little boy, liviug iu Florida, it wus ro dark tho little birds wefit to roost iu the trees.” “Did he know what caused it ?” “Yes, tho sun aud moon golug so,” and he put up his bauds aud made one pass in frout of thti other. On another oooaBion lie was thero when she had a cough, aud said, “Me wish I know you siek ; me bring you pretty lit tle flowers, make tea, sweat, and you get well right away.” “Can you cure big siek, Jacob?" “Yea. Last week ino at ono country house ; stage stop full of peo ple; one white mnu in much trouble; face so sad ; thinks his little boy won’t live till morning ; fever; skin burn band; hot. I ask him 'he want my inedicino.’ He say ‘yes.’ I go*fit woods, find pretty little flower, make ten, give little boy, ho go to sleep. Next morning little boy dot dead; go away with white mau, woll. White man so glad; no more much trou ble. Jacob glad too; heart beat light.” On another occasion lie promised to come, and did not. When sho saw him agaiu she asked, “Jacob, why didu’fc you come?” “Mo no come, Miss Put soy; mo big drunk.” Wo liuvo recently interviewed oue of Judge Colquitt’s old servants on Indian matters. Says she lived near the Oconee, whon tho Oconoo was tho boundary !.ue, which no whito was to cross to settle, and that sho has run from the Indians so oftcu it has nearly killed her; it made her heart hurt ro. She was about seven or eight years old when the luilian war, that be gan in 1812, ended, and her youug mas ter, Mr. Dine, was killed fighting in the Iudian Territory. Chilly McIntosh and his two sisters went to school in Monticello with her Miss Nancy, and General McIntosh used to ride about the country on borsebuok, fol lowed by bis two carriages, nn Indiau wife in each carriage, and was a very likely man. When Jim Henry was takeu prisoner Judge Colquitt said he should not bo hung, because he was the bravest man aud the best warrior in the State of Georgia ; that he came one night to surprise Columbus, and hid two hundred warriors on tho Ala barna Hide of the river. He disguised himself iu woman's clothes, and, with n pitcher in liis hand, wont into tho Ogle thorpe to sec and hear what was going on. He hoard the women aud children crying so, and the men trj ing to quiet thorn— telliug them not to be seared of Jim Heffry; that they would protect them that tho fears and terrors of tho women and children touched his heart, made him feel bad, and so ho went away, and took his two hundred warriors and went and burnt ltoauoke. Said lie: “Judge, if it had not been for tho crying of the women nnd children, your town had been slayed that night.” Jim Henry was such a terror tho womon used to quiet their babies by telliug them “Jim Henry was coining.” He told her‘master that ho hud buile< great quantities of silver aud silverware in twelve places, which he had marked so le could get them again. Her niHste asked if he w air not going to tell any ono whore tho silver was. lie said “uo, not tiuless he came back to get it himself.' 'That the Indians liked a dog bettor than they did a nigger, and looked stern when they met h nigger in the street; that they said God made tho red mnu first, then tho whito man, next tho dog, and last ho mudo tho nigger. N. B.—While they looked upon tho ne gro as au inferior, it did not provont tlioir owning slaves, being kind musters, und sometimes even having negro wivos. 8ho said Faddy Carr had the prettiest darkeys sho ever saw in her life. They were nearly all half breeds, black nnd In dian, and they bad the prettiest smooth skins, and the glossiest, prettiest hair, she evor saw ; hair straight like the Indian’s, and tho l Tightest black eyes. 'They all smiled, and looked so happy. A lady of Columbus had brought two beautiful half breod girls from Milledge- ville when small children, and had raised thorn till they wore grown. 8ho was very anxious to keep them, and it broke their hearts to go. 8ays aunt Violet: “I did lovo them girls; they wero so nice and pretty, nnd used to come to Miss Nancy’s often ; but when the law went forth that all must go, and i.one oonld stay, they came to toll Miss Nunc, good byo. They sat on their two fi-e Indian ponies as straight as arrows, droHsei mighty nice, with two or three skirts all braided and scolloped with different kinds of bruids. Miss Nanny asked them to sing for her before they went. One of them took out a large jews-harp, as large as her band, and played mighty sweet, and tho other sang pretty just like a bird—only mourn ful like a dove. 8ko a mg a great many verses about goiug away, and the end of ull of ’em was— It was such acts of violence and wrong to tho poor Indian that brought upon our beautiful Southern luml—our beloved Dixie—that dire punishment of Heaven, that has so appalled the hcarta of all na- tions and peoples. Wlion the Indian did love the white, the uffeotion wua like that of DAmon to Pythias, showing what nn element of pleasure und strength they might have boon made if we had treated them fairly, nnd nevor learned them tho use of the fire-wator, which was the Iudian’s great est enemy.

Giant Powder.—About 000,000 pounds of giant powder wore made on the Pacific •Slope in 1878, and all sold iu California and tho adjacent Territories. The Coin- stook Mine alone u.ed 100,000 pounds. No. 1 soils for 75 cents, %nd No. 2 for 50 cents per pound. Tbe sales show an in crease of 30 per cent, over those of 1872.

It is intended to take tho place of sw itch sig nals ; opening t^e switch causes a copper plate, a short distuuce oil iu the roadway, to become ' electrified. A metallic brush on the engine transfers the current to tbe whistle, which is opened, and remains open until steam is shut off by the en gineer. If the engineer is neglecting his duty, the fact is at once made kuowa by tho continuous sound of tho whistle. Electrical Phenomena in Plants.— Dr. Burdon Sanderson has communicated norno very remarkable investigations to the British Association for the Advance ment of Science on iho irritability uml contraction of the well known plant, the Venus Flytrap. By a remarkable series of experiments, made with tho aid of 8ir William Thompson's galvanometer, be has shown that in certain organs of this and other sensitive plauts thero exists a cor respondence of function between them aud tho motor organs of animals to n re- markable degree. He especially investi gated the question ns to whether these contractile actions are Accompanied by the same electrical changes as those that oc cur in the contraction of tho muscles of animals. —Iu view of thegroat economical value of the fur seals of Alaska, nnd of tbe iro- t >ortauce of a thorough knowledge of their mbits and moveim nts, with reference to ih i command of the market of tbo world, it is proposed by the United States Treas ury Department lo send some oue to tbe North Pacific Ocean for the purpose of obtaining materials for.

Whut becomes of these seals after they leave the islands is entirely unknown, al though congregated there in such num bers for several months. A few are taken iu the spring nnd fall as they puns along the coast of Bntish Columbia aud Wash ington Territory, but whether these are related to tho Pribylov army or not is un certain. *Tho same species ii found to a limited extent on the Atlantic side of tbe oceau, but uo voiy extensive captures arc made. Should this commis ion be appointed, it is to be hoped that some of these prob lems nny be solved, and that wo may not remain longer iu ignorance of the general natural history of so important au animal, which furnishes a revenue to tho United States of about $800,000 a year, while a profit almost of millions is made by the company which has charge of the interest. —We regret to loaru that the salmon eggs whi li were shipped from London in Janunry last to Australia,and which reached their destination in tho course of five or six months, almost ull perished before be ing planted iu their now quarters, os out of 120,000 eggs only about C50 young fry wero placed in the water.
