Noah down to Capt. Cook," was launched nt Belfast on tho 14th instant whon tho Oceanic, ofr tho White Star lino, split tho waves, says tho Augusta Herald. Noah's ark was 540 feet long ; thc Campania of tho Cunard lino m 025 foot, tho Kaiser Wilholm dor Grosse is 048 fcot, and tho Great Eastern was 080 foot, but the Oceanio ia 24 feet lunger than tho Groat Eastern, or 704 foot ovor all. Tho Groat Eastorn waa of groator beam and tonnage, however, being 83 foot broad, 58 feet deop and having a dispiacomont of 22,500 tons. Tho Oceanio is 08 feet broad, 44 foot deep and has a displacement of 17,000 tons. The" Groat Eastern's engines developed only 2,700 horse power, and hor best speed was only cloven knots an hour. Tho engines of tho Oceanio aro built for 15,000 horse power, and sho is ezpeoted to sail across tho ocean day after day with hor triplo screws at the rato of twenty-seven milos an hour, which ia about tho same speed that the new mail servico from Now York to San Francisco is oxpected to maintain. The Groat Eastorn was a failure as an ocean carrier, because she took so much coal, was so awkward to han dle and cost so much for repairs. It was a seriouB problem to turn her around in an ordinary harbor, and to get hor in and out of her slip was a matter of thc greatest anxiety and danger, but the invention of steam and electrical steering apparatus has made such problems of navigation comparatively easy, and the captains of tho Campania, or thc Kaiser Wil holm, or any of the other great leviathans of ocean commerce han dle thom as if they were a team of horses. It is interesting to com pare tho Oceanic with tho steamer which Robert Fulton put upon the Hudson within the lifetime of many men. John Sherman was 7 years old. Tho late Senator Morrill was of age. Representative (?row, of Pennsylvania, was 10 years old. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, was (J. Senator Pettis was 9 years of age. Senator Hawley was 4 years old. Senator Cullom and Senator Allison were infants in arms when thc first steamship was launched upon the ocean. In 1880 there were Jive steamboats hailing from the port of New York. The journey from New York to Washington was made partly by steamboat and partly by stage, and il took as much time aa is now required to go to London. If gloomy and nervous, mid looking on the dark side of tilings, tako a fow (loses of Dr. M. A. Simmons* Liver Medicino, and tho gloom will disappear. Saved by a Horse Tho Rochester Union and Adver tiser of December 1, 1808, gives the following account of a (torso's intelli gence witnessed near that city : George Howard, 10 years of age, employed on tho farm of George Lent, about a milo outsido tho city on the Buffalo road, is at the Homoo* pathic Hospital suffering from in juries inflicted on him by a hog. That young Howard is not a subject for thc coroner instead of the hospi tal surgeon, is duo to tho fact that a horse, whioh is greatly attached to tho young man, kicked tho enraged hog away as thc brute was about to fasten its teeth in his throat. The hog, whioh made tho attack on Howard, was a large and particu larly ugly brute. He broke out of his pen yesterday afternoon and made a rush for tho barn. The door was open and young Howard, who had just placed tho horse in his stall aftor a careful grooming, was start ing to go out the door when tho hog entered with a rush. Tho brute mado a aavago attack on Howard and fastened his teeth into tho calf, toro and lacerated tho flesh. Howard foll back into tho stall and oloso to tho feet of tho horse ho had just groomed. Tho hog was springiro1 at thc throat of his prostrate victim when ibo horse raised his hind feet and gave tho hog a kick, which sent him ten foot and caused him to squeal with pain. Mr. Lent, who had been attracted by tho screams of Ib-.vard, was juat entering tho barn door and saw tb o h orso kick tho hog off tho prostrate body ol' tho young man. li I I III lilli I I I* I - til.ll>,>lll|)ll|>IIIMI?WlllW?H?f? ~-r-"-;-- J ' The Srlpjc- ss? Sulphur* In my dally pupers o! Deoember 22d I find that thero aro supposed to bo something liko 100,000 oases of grippo iii Now York City, and that It is also prevailing largely in Wash ington, Philadelphia and othor oitios, /?nd is now threatening Bostou. It is a fact that when it wis prevailing as an opidemio largely in our city a fow years ago, I ascertained, by in quiry of ray officers at "Byam's Match Factory/' that cf tho forty throo porsons employed thore not ono had boeu troubled by it. I have at various timos told the press how mauy at Memphis, Ten. nesseo, (including the agents of "Tho Howard Bouovolout Associa tion) escaped tho terrible opidoraio of yellow fovor thoro (as they olaimcd) by wearing powdorod sul phur in their shoos-also tho ovi dnnoo of a distinguished German modical writor translated into Eng lish, that woaring sulphur in this way has provod a complote protec tion against oholora and othor epi domio disonses ; also that those working tho sulphur minen of Italy csoapo tho, malaria which provails all about them; also that sulphur iu tho shoos has curod various oases of rheumatism ; also that sulphur taken internally or worn in tho shoes has sufficient powor to pass through tho body, tho clothing and tho pocket book, blaokoning tho silvor thoro. I find in tho London Lancet that no less authority thau tho President of tho Institute of Civil Engineers of London deolaros that tho sulphur ous vapor produced by tho combus tion of coal in that city kills tho disease gomm in tho atmosphere. It seoniB to mo a duty, at this time, to again suggest as widoly as possiblo through my own paper and othors that sulphur is vory oheap, and whothor it destroys or keeps out genna of disenso from tho body, or only aots upon tho imagination it cannot do much harm to try it. In tho Soott County (Mississippi) Register of Juno 15th last will bo found an account of how the agonts of "Tho Howard Bono volent Asso ciation," at Memphis, escaped yellow fovor by wearing sulphur in thoir shoes, s Half a teaspoonful of powdered sulphur in each shoo or stocking is considered to be sufficient. As our rendors know, wo did our best last spring to put thoso faots (for tho proteotion of our soldiers) before our army and navy officials at Washington. Wo do not know whether any thing was done about tho matter by our medical ollicors thoro, but we have received lottors from army offi cers and mon, that with sulphur in tho shoes thoy had no fovers and also found tho sulphur a comploto protootion against fleas. On thia samo December 22d we received in a lotter from Capt. Juliua A. Palmor, ot' this city, tho following : "By tho way, in viow of your fre quent recommendations of common sulphur, it came to my notice re cently that on California ranches whero walnuts are prepared for tho market thc shells aro bleached by thc usc of brimstone fumes, and that tho mon having ch argo of that work are never touched by the grippe, influenza or othor epidemics which attack their fellow-laborers on tho same estates."-Geo.

Peter Cooper, tho great philan thropist of Now York, was ono of tho most successful, careful and pru dont business mon of his timo. Ho was strongly opposed to tho methods of many morohants who launohed out into extravagant enterprises on borrowed money, for whioh thoy ? paid exorbitant rates of interest. Tho following anecdote illustrates tho point very forcibly : Onco, whilo talking about a pro ject with an acquaintance, tho lattor said ho would havo to borrow tho money for six months, paying inter est at the rato of 3 per cont per month. "Why do you borrow for BO short a time?" Mr, Cooper asked. "Because tho brokors will not ne gotiate bills for longor." "Well, if you wish," said Mr. Cooper, "I will discount your note at that rate for throo yours." "Are you in oarncst ?" asked tho would-bo borrower. "Certainly I am. I will discount your noto for $10,000 for th reo yoars at that rate. Will you do it ?" "Of course, I will," said tho mer chant. "Very woll," said Mr. Cooper. "Just sign this .toto for $10,000, pay able in threo yoars, and givo your oheok for $800 and tho transaction will bo complote." "But whoro is tho money formo?" naked fhn astonished merchant. "You don't get any money," wns tho reply. "Your interest for 3G months at 3 j ?or cont por month amounts to 108 por cent or $10,800. Thoroforc, your check for $800 just makes us even." Thc torco of this practical illus tration of tho folly of paying such an exhorbitant price for tho uso of money was such that the merchant determined never to borrow at such ruinous rates, und ho frequently used to say that nothing could have so fully convinced him as this rather humorous proposal by Mr. Cooper. -.?.>>--?-?

One winter Turvy's calf, which had not been weaned, Was I kept tied, a part of the time, to a post near the hay. Ono morning my attention was at tracted by tho persistent cries of tho cow. I looked out and saw Turvy standing at tho bars. She was call ing mo and was almost frantic. I snatched iq) a shawl, throw it around me and ran to seo what tho matter wan. Quick as abe saw ino coming sho turned and ran back to tho stacks. When 1 reach tho placo I found her calf almost ohoaked to death. Ho 1 had wound tho rope, with which ho was tied, round and round the post, and twisted it so tight that his tongue was lolling out and bloody foam dripping from his mouth and nose.
