paul jones. Tlic Virginia Index is publishing a scries of interesting sketches, 1? v Mr, Tbomas CIia.se, of Chesteifb-ld, of "The Life, Character and Times of Paul Jones.' TIk-v throw much light 0:1 the character i t i'ani Juiii'K, and give, we doubt not, a most faithfuI account of tho famous bat* tlo of his ship, the lion Homme Richard, with the Serapis. After stating that the ships wore locked together, which was effected by Jones, because he saw that to l:o on i ,\Y Jit fur <r*m *Jmt Willi )i in* w *i 11 < I strong fiigult: like tin; Sci.tpi-, would neror do fur such :i crazy <>1<I Iiull; as the Bon 1 luiiniio liichaid, Mr. Chase proceed* : * Tlio woiking of tin* log guns li:i?l boon suspended during the time of lash ing the ships together, hut was now resumed. Of course neither ship could use hut her guns on one side, and these were neatly muzzle to muzzle?so near that iIiom! who handle 1 the ramrods sometimes hit each other. ' Fair plav, vmi Jmntm-il ^ :i iiL*<?o '' n11 lvn<rlicit11\?in would exclaim. 'Mind your eye, John Bull, or I'll,' Arc. 'The firing was not rapid, especially on Jones' part, for it could do the ships no hurt, except to knock the guns about a little, and knock oil' the gunwales, and occasionally raise a cloud of splinters from each other's decks. Jones and his men kept a very sharp lookout that Pearson and 1>is men did not cut the lashings and sever the tdiips. Neither of these fillips was damaged ' between wind and water,' nor could they now be by any uso of the big guns. Both had men in the rigging doing all (he mischief they could. T .. .1 l.:.. i i ... . I ...i .i? i . ?? ill UJi:> i\ I! J11 U i I '!?i \ ?P ?, IJ L'o 11 tlvi 11112 IR'M of it ; for !iis men were more terrible, mid liis spars aiul vanls wore longer, still Pearson would not surrender, insisting that Jones ought to. ' Capt. Lundais, with the Alliance, came up to help Jones, and lired a broadside ; bul of necessity it hurt Junes as much a8 it did Pearson. Jones immediately cried out,'Capt. L'unlais, let us alone; 1 can handle him.' lloth ships were often on fire, and as often was the fire extinguished. Ilitd it not been for the men in the rigging, this wad one of the s^fe'st sea fights, so far as those oil deck were concerned, that almost ever happened ? 1 mean after the Khips were la.-lied together. The flash of! ilie suns would <ro clvnr across each other's i . ' deck?, and the men, hv keeping a good lookout, could avoi<l bvinir hurt, onlv l>v 1 O I . . . stepping a little a-ide. ' Had the Bon Homme Richard been a ' : new, strong ship, as was the Sera pis, both j might have lain there and burned powder i and thrown shot until they rotted as to (sinking either with the guns of the other.' But the lion Homme liiehard was old and ! rotten, and was leaking badly before Jones' made her fast to the Serapis; nnd thus I last, Uic strain upon nor against the oilier | bli?|? and from the explosion of tlie! guns made her leak worse, and it was evident that she must ere long go down. 'Sonic of Jones' men nr.d one of his of fii-cis t-.M liiin she must soon go down, and suggested a surrender. ' You never mind that ; you shall have a better ship to go home in,' ,J.>nes pleasantly, replied. Jones and all his men, and Pearson and his crew knew that it' the lion Homme Richard was about to sink, she would capsize the Scrapie, and both must go down togther. It was, therefore, likely to be a test between .lone* and I'earson,? which, for the sakeof saving himself and men from a watery grave would strike first. 4 Hut Jones had recourse to a stratagem, which was completely successful. lie secretly sent his men below, one by one, with j lhe sti iciest possible orders to be fully prepared for boarding, and at a given signal to msb on d<-ck, and he would lead them or. ti.,. .1...1. ,.e e : i - i? .v? hm. v?.i > ?' iu<; ??<:ijiiiu 11.

Pearson, supposing they wejre killed or badly wounded, and that Jones M? must soon strike, was thrown completely Voff his guard. This was Jones' * : tiiriii^J&iving his signal, his men were ' reacljpin an instant, and with Jones ahead, ready sword, rushed like 4 hell V JioundtTtipon the deck of the Serapis, killing everything they could reach, and in a Very short time would have killed everything board; but Capt. l'earson, seeing thajLW fctime had come, cried with a loud voiccjffilftpt.

Now, no man was ever able to stand al these pleas, lie generally falls at No. 4 and only in extreme cases reaches No. 0. HOW A CHICK IS HATCHED. In conversation with Judge l'uller, ol Nurwalk, a few Jays since, he explained tin operation of the hatching process, which i so beautiful and philosophical, that as w have never seen it explained in Looks, repeat it to our leaders: The chick within the egg breathes througl the shell; in the silky membrane lining c the shell the blood circulates, and is thus brought in contact with outer air. The head of the chick is in a position a if it. had been brought around under lb wing and over on the back?a little one sidi of course?iu such a position that the least imt'.cular exei tion will press the beak agains the shell, and about iu the middle and whci anv violent striH/i'hi is ni;idi?. it will l>r<Til * OO " " 'I "v" a little hole in the shell. Now tliis littl< movement of the head, perhaps an eighth a ail inch forward, turns the chick in the s-liel so that when the head is drawn hack in it normal position, it is brought against another portion of the shell. The next struggl breaks a fresh hole, and so on, each struggle making a new opening in the shell. These struggles, as the chick gain, strength from breathing the fresh air,becomes more frequent. Finally, in the court of half a day, perhaps, as it goes on turninj itself in its shell, the little blood-vessel which originally funned a connection between the chick and the lining inembrar. of tlie shell, are drawn so tight as to proven circulation, or are twisted off; and whei holes have been punctured and the shel cracked about two-ihirds around, the she! fulls apart and the young chanticleer step out into a new world. Occasionally the lining membrane of tli egg is so tough that the shell parts from il and leaves it unbroken, except in the littl hols described; and so, if not seen in tim the chick dies. A pair of scissors will effect a liberation. It is dangerous to attempt to take a chici from the egg before it has, as will be evinc ed by the cracked shell, turned itself nearl or quite two-thirds round; otherwise th blood-vessels spoken of will be broken, am the chick cither bleed to death or bo Ion; iu recovering. The wholo process may be watched i the egg be kept warm in the hand, aiv observed as its struggles call attention t it. This will not interfere with reading o writing, and is instructive nnd interesting In one of the western villages, the edi tor of the local newspaper had a room at th hotel. Being absent one sight, nnd th hou6e being crowded, the landlord put stranger in his bed. The impertinent in gratitude of the fellow was manifested tl> next morning by the following lines foum in the room: " I slept ia an cditorls bed last night, And others may say what they please : I say there's oue editor ia the world That certainly taken his ease. When I thought of my humble cot, away, I eould not suppress a sjgh, * ? But thought as I rolled in the feathery nest How easy editors lie !" Courting a woman for ber money i purse istent Cupid-ity.
