? A l*lne Nut in His Lungs.
^ . The case of Br*. Both well, who died
t with a cork in his lungs, has been paralleied
by an Oakland (Cal.) man, who
survived the very operation which proved
'' fatal to the Brooklyn preacher. Charles
0re Pinkham is a car driver, who, when a
, lad of eleven years, in Tuolomne County,
swallowed a big pine nut. It was at a
crush th?not, it slipped down his throat
and o bis wlrd-plpe. Tt went Into '
' jthe right lung, where it stuck. It was a
very large nut, as big as the front joint
of the little finger. Pinkham, whose
tei ?nly *,rAC0 ?* accirtent is a very husky
voice, in talking of his case to-day said:
"J\kyen r HOhomo to dislodge the nut I

men to hold mo, and they used to stand

he until it would slip hack into tho lung. I
o- could breathe with my left lung. Afc
last the doctors saw I could not live
it- much longer, and Dr. Walker determined
8. to try an operation somewhat similar to
J- that tried on Dr. Both well. He cut into
s, my windpipe, down to my breastbone,
s- jit took two days to do it. The first day
|. .a silver tube was set in my throat, and I *

he applied his lips to tho wound and
re suckelt the nut out. I recovered, but
to ifor seven years I did not speak above a
whisker. I carry the scar yot, and my
Id voico.is a little hoarse, but that is all I
ic have to remember my escape by. The

It secius somewhat of an anomaly to
enumerate earthquakes among the perils
of the sea, nevertheless,submarine earthquakes
are quite often a source of considerable
danger to navigators. Instances
tike the catastrophe in the Sunda Straits
and the seas surrounding the Island ol
Java are not common, but in some parts
of the ocean earthquakes and volcanic
disturbances are of quite common occurrence,
although not often the cause ol
disaster. The Atlantic, from 8t. Paul
Rocks to the Windward Islands, and th<
waters around these islands, are espe
clally subject to these disturbances. Th<
Swedish bark Eleanors had an ox peri
ence with an earthquake in that vicinltj
on a recent voyage. Captain Pctereei
says that one evening between 7 and f
o'clock, while the ship was sailing along
at a three-knot rate, with a light wind
and a calm sea, a noise was heard on th<
Krt side like a heavy surf, and almost
mediately the water began to boil ant
bubble like water in a huge kettle,brcak
ing violently and reaching as high as thi
Kop-deck. No distinct shock was felt
t the ship contined to tremble as long
as the disturbance lasted. It contiuucc
for about an hour, and after the same in
terval the bubbling and foaming of th<
water began again. It was then dark
and the sound could be plainly heard
but it was not possible to observ
whether the water was muddy. Nex
day the sea was calm and weather fine.
Last fall a number of violent shock
"Vera repofted from this region. On
was felt at Barbados snd in varioi
places throughout the region botwee

America and the island of Martinique
The Americas bark P. J. Carleton, Ca|

shock. The sea becamo like a boil in
pot, greatly confused and tumblin
about in a seething mass, and a gratin
sensation was experienced, as though tb

vessels reported similar experiences r
about the same time. A particularly v

Where the Cnrfew is Still Ran?.
For many a century there has be<
rung in the ancient city of Sandwic
the old Cinque Port of Kent, the Curfe
bell, which marked at one period so di
tinctive a feature of English life. T
Church of 8t. Peter has maintained tl
custom up to the present day, but a
verse fortune now threatens to extingui:
this honored relic of past ages. A 8an

what strained between the rector and tl
sexton of Bt. Peter's, and as the fut
from which the latter was paid is no
ol&imed by the church wardens the sext<

At the Easter vestry his re-election w

from carrying out his duties as ringer

him. We trust, says the Pall M
Budget, the rector will not allow this i
foresting custom to fall into deiuetud
and perhaps, if he be anything of i
antiquarian, he will see to its observau
himself.

The Frontier Cavalryman.
Our frontier cavalryman la the beau
Ideal of an irregular. The irregular
horseman of all ages was recruited from
among roving, unintelligent classes, and
had, except in his own peculiar province,
as plentiful a lack of good as he had a
superabundance of bad qualities. Our
trooper is intelligent, and trained in the
hardest of schools. Few civilians, who
find it so easy to criticise the operations
otthe army in the West, would make
I much of a success in hunting a band of a
i few hundred Indians in a pathless wilderness
or a waterless desert bigger than
New York and New England combined.
And yet, thus handicapped, what splen?
did work our cavalry has donel While <
i ne civil department of the Government
! has for years been busy sowing the seeds *
I of strife and furnishing the red man *
I arms of precision, the bese of catridges <
; and plenty of them, how ably our hand- j
t ful of bluecoats, under orders of another,
I have managed to quell the Indian upriE- *
ingsl A force of fifty thousand men (
t constantly on foot would have been none |
, too great to do justice to our Indian
> problem since the war; the actual force '
j lias been less than a third of this num- i
. ber. Let whoso is tempted to criticiso ,
e the army make himself familiar with
, some of the deeds of heroism of the past I
, twenty years by our soldiers on the !
e Plains. Criticism blenches before their (
t recital. But the so ldier is no booster.
