This Ij belief in omens of the sea is not confined alone to forecastle men, bat is to a greater or lesser extent shared by cap tains animates. In conversation a few days ago with a grizzly bearded and ... ^ <v bpKiaed old mariner, who has trod the qdarter-decks of ships as master for up- -ward of a quarter of a century, a re porter broached the subject of the super stition of sailors. "Do sailors believe in opens ?” - said the Captain, repeating the reporter’s question, "well yon can bet yonr starry toplights they do. They ate the crankiest lot of men in thoworld, and ytm would be astonished to know what trifling matters sometimes causes them to give up going on a voyage. I have known sailors to predict the direct calamity of a ship because they happened toaaeeas while going on~b6krJf Then again, if a vessel is delayed in port and does not sail at the appointed time it is a bad omen, according to Jack’s ideas. They have good omens too. A fair day when they ship is a good sign, and if the sun is shining brightly on the day they sail it is a sign that the vessel will have a speedy and prosperous voyage. A baffling head wind leads sailors to the belief that there is a Jonah on l>oard and they do all sorts of things, such as burning a piece of an old sail or rope- yarn and the throwing overboard of a sea biacnit to exercise the evil effects of his presence, and when the wind does shift ■nd becomes fair they attribute it to their soroeriam, their good spirits return and all goes merry until something else happens to disturb their fears. "I remember an old fellow I once . shipped at Liverpool for the voyage home to New York," continued the cap tain. "He was a veritable old sea dog and the crew at once set him down as I a Jonah. He was called Liverpool Jack, and was the queerest chap I ever saw. He wanted the voyage prolonged as much as possible, and one day the men oanght him in the foretop whistling fer a head wind, and, sure enough, the fol lowing morning the wind shifted and came dead from the head. This, of course, necessitated the frequent tacking of the ship, and the curses of the crew were loud and long. That wind stuck to us for three days, and the crew decided to chuck Jack overboard, and I lielievc they would have carried the threat into _ execution had not the wind changed. Bailors also have an aversion to clergy men’s aons, and if they know that one is on board a vessel they will not ship un der any consideration. Why they dis like a vessel with a minister’s son on board I have never found out, but it is considered as one of the worst ‘hoodoos’ by the sailors. Out at sea if, as is fre- QSttiUf the dr, » •hark foUow 3 t&o wake of a vessel, it is a sign that some one on board will soon die, but it is one of the worst omens to kill it. Of all the sea birds what are known as a Mother Gary’. chicken, a dark bird somewhat resembling a gull, but about the size of a chicken, is held most sacred by the — forecastle men. Its presence foretells an approaching storm, and this sign hard ly ever fails. A seaman would as soon think of swimming across the Pacific Ocean ns to molest one of the chickens. Then, ogam, it is bad luck, as sailors say, to kill these gulls that follow ships out at sea, as they are considered the harbingers of good luck. If dolphins accompany the vessel, it is also consid ered a good oaten. ’’ ~I A singular iuoidont happened some - years sgo on l>oard an American ship. ^ A few days out from New York, a l>oob.v, a bird somewhat like a gull, but much smaller, alighted iu the foretop, and one of the sailors wont up and caught it. The booby was brought on dock, where it waa attacked by the ship’s dog. The animffl flew at the bird, wiiioh drove its , f bill Mara the dog’s throat, and thus the :two rebnviued until separated. The booby was thrown overboard and was not seen for some time, when suddenly It reappeared, perched in the foretop again. A sailor went aloft and captured THE SOUL Or BUSINESS. Rev. Kefcert OeRver es ike Relalleea el Private Virtue te PeMIe Cretflt. "The Lord God is a shield,” was the text that the Rev. Robert Collyer se lected for Us Sunday sermon. After speaking of the absolute necessity of man’s keeping constantly before him in j all tranaaotion of life the knowledge and , the fear of the Lord, Mr. Collyer said, ; if I am a merchant, I may fairly try to | make my calling gainful, bnt I must al- , so make it noble or I shall fall short of ; the mark and prize of my high calling, i and if I hare to give ihy business to my [ sons when I get tired of it or die, I should take at least aa much pains to form and mould and inspire them for all noble and true adventures as I do to de velop my businees before I give it over, j I must renumber that not all my creed, nor even my paternoster, bnt that public credit is the soul of business in good times and bad times alike. I must also remember that this credit taken alto gether, as the wise old German says, is a sacred deposit which should never be touched by rude and ruthless hands, and whoever brings it into peril wilfully and with his eyes open, and for his own private gain, is woree than the man who breaks into your store or cracks your safe. The virtue of a man of business shonld bear the same relations to his good name as the things he sells do to the coin or paper he takes in exchangi for his wares. Mere greed of gain only makes a man sharp sighted to his own interest with out thinking of the oonseqnence to bis fellow citizens or to the Commonwealth to which he belongs, until at last, as a quaint old writer says, he swallows all he can catch and never thinks of the bones wherewith he may be choked. To such a man nothing but his own loss is of any moment and the profits of a single year are more to him than the gain of a whole century to the woald about him. A man, no matter what his name or profession may be, has taken the first step downward in the corrup tion of morals when he ceases to care for the opinion of the upright and down right man who has God for his shield, and unless public opinion now marks and makes an example of snch a man there will soon be bo snob thing in onr nation as public opinion. Bnt we all know that every nation and every city that have a spark of virtue loft in them are ashamed of such men’s presence. The man who in the trials of man hood walks nprightly, and makes and sells things that are os genuine as a bit of heaven, knows of no way but the straight way, no word bnt the true word, will not look at mean things lest his eyes be defiled and will have no gain that is against the genuine good. He is like the man who plants trees of which he may never see the fruitage, but which he knows will give fruit when he is gone. Another TTond Call — it, and it was brought down, and it.ken into the forecastle where the sailors held . a trial and the bird was sentenced to jfeti <fcath. The executioner was the oar- panter, and the unfortunate booby waa beheaded. The dog disappeared after the encounter, but immediately after the bird waa killed it came on deck and began inning around in a circle. This waa continued for some time, when suddenly It made a dash for the stern of the ship and jumped overboard. Even the oap- fain, a Boston man, was affected by the Inetdeat, and for several days the deepest eort of gloom prevailed among those on bottd, and 0 majority of the crew pre- before the end of end none felt entirely easy *#111 the port was reached.

Itonds. lu the ten months of the current fiscal year the debt lias been decreased by $87,000,000, or about $28,- 000,000 leva than for (be correaponding months of the preceding fiscal year. The chief reduction lias, of course, been made in the three per cents. On June 30, 1883, there were outstanding about $32,000,000 of the throe and ono-half per cents and $318,204,3o0 of the three per oenta. The former have all been called in, and on May 1 there wore $264,621,950 of tha three per oenU out standing and subject to call. A part of thk amount, about $20,000,000, is in cluded in the last bond calls issued, so that it is very probable that at the end of the current fiseal year there will not l>e outstanding much more than $230,000,000. Aa the excess of income over expendi ture for 1883-4 applicable to debt reduc tion is estimated to be $105,000,000, aud, if anything, will bo larger in about two years, unless conditions are changed, all of the three per cent bonds will have been cancelled. If there is a revival of industry the process of can celling bondakrill be more rapid, as the national revenues are qniok to reflect changes in the oommeroial condition, though not in the financial and indus trial condition of the country. At all events, unless some marked reduction in the Rational income is made, in abont two years the government will have paid off all that part of its debt that k under its control, it must then wait until 1891, whan the four and a half per oenta become due, or go into the market and purchase its bonds at whatever premiom the holders choose to ask.—^V.

The officers, without assigning any satisfactory reasons for non-oomplianoe, declined to do to. The commission thereupon brought the matter to the attention of the Postmaster General, who wrote a letter to each of the Iowa offloers, in which he said:— “The examination k held under the Civil Service law, and according to ik provisions, nd the rale ado ed under it you are not at liberty to decline the service unless for imperative reasons, satisfactory to the Postmaster General* NOTES AND COMMENTS.

In Leigh Richmond’s advice to his ^ daughters, he wrote: "Girls, be cheer- yjnl, but not gigglers; be serious, bnt not ^^qull; be communicative, but not for ward; l>e kind, bnt not servile. Beware of silly, thoughtless speeches.” In Mansfield, Conn.,- within the last twenty-seven years, twenty-eight persons have died whose ages averaged ninety- seven years, four of whom were over a hundred, and one, Mrs. Mary Sohth- worth, was a hundred and five. The Cuban revolutionary leader Carlos Agnero is not yet thirty, and has been in arms against the Spanish anthorities al most continuously since he was fourteen. He weighs only one hundred and fifty pounds, and belongs to a rich family. The last census in France gives the number of insane persons as one in every 444 inhabitants; but Dr. Lamer, in a recent Icotare at the Sorbonne, says the real proportion is 7 to every 300 or 360 inhabitants. Dr. Lanier remarked that in countries presenting the same degree of civilization the proportion of insane people is identical. Taluaok declared in his sermon last Snnday that "the i>oorest men in New York city are those who are worth a million dollars or more.” Despite the prophetic warnings of so exalted an oracle as Talmage, hundreds of people are sacrificing health aud honor to be come memliers of the great army of the poorest men in New York. At Monte Carlo it is the custom to fill the pockets of suicides with bank notes so that it may be seen that-they did not kill themselves on account of losses. They tried flie trick on a presnmably dead Irishman a short time ago; but he was not deoil at all, and skipped off with the money in the most lively style. Thk New Orleans Picayune relates that an old lady, eighty years of ago, residing in that city, was dependent upon a daughter, who was h school teacher there. Hard work, ill pay, no pay, and the worry of keeping decent and honest and out of debt, set the daughter crazy. She is now in the asylum, and her mother earns a miser able living making button-holes and do ing fine embroidery. raiSIBENTIAL FAVORITES. .iBtsrwrttaw'Vi iter* wl /ailed at the Intel.have Bennett the Elder. Ben. Perley Poore in his reminiscences says; '' ^ " V- ILLJ'IIPB James Gordon Bennett in 1828, when iu his thirtieth year, liecame the Wash ingtou correspondent of the Now York Enquirer, which was then on the top most ronnd of the journalistic ladder. It is related of him that during his stay in this position he came across a copy of "Walpole’s Letters,” aud resolved to try the effect of a few letters in a similar strain. The truth of this is donbtfnl. It is more probable that the natural talents of the man were now unfettered, and he wrote without fear of censorship, and with all the ease which a sense of free dom inspires. He whs naturally witty, sarcastic and sensible. These letters, however originated, were undoubtedly a great hit. They were lively, the^ alsranded in personal allusions and they deaeribed freely not only Senators, bnt the wives and daughters of Senators. This sort of thing was a novelty then; the descriptions of toilets, the cravats of the President and the hunting saddle of his niece tickled not only the fools, bnt also wiser people, who liked the sensa tion. These same letters established Mr. Bennett’s reputation as a light lanoe among the hosts of writers, and he found a ready sale) for the poetry and the love storiee which flowed from his pen dur ing his leisure hours. rhe Soudan. I desire and expect that yon will per- form the duty." Orart.rt White, the minstrel, says that the first band of negro minstrels was organised late in 184$ in the bdard- ing house of Mrs. Brooks in Catherine street, New York city. It consisted of Dan Emmett, Frank Brower, Billy Whitioek, and Dick Pelham.

It k a vast country, lying in, perhaps, the hottest region of the world, whose people are certainly the blackest in person and fanatical in religion.

Cookteff With (Ml Stem. ' A - . > Mis. Lincoln, the Boston lecturer on eookery, says: When one tells you that there k "no trouble” in using an oil stove you may be morally certain that aha does not know what she k talking about. To be sure you are saved addi tional heat and dust in the summer when you have so much of both from nature herself; but unices yon are careful you will have a smoky atmosphere and a disagreeable odor. Yon needn’t have either if you choose to manage properly; the “no trouble” people will have it all the time. The way to avoid it k to keep the burner perfectly dean, and entirely free from the gummy burner deposit which even the best oil will have on the polished brass burner. Every day the burner shonld be washed in hot, dean suds, thoroughly dried and tha wick re placed; the little brass network abont the base of the burner shonld be care fully wiped and kept free from every particle of dust. The wick should be out squarely and evenly with sharp scissors, and not even a thread shonld be left that k higher than the net. When the blaze k extinguished, the wiok should be turned down at least half an inch below the edge of the burner. If it k left above, or even with the top, it will abeorb oil, and the oil will run over the top, making it greasy and soiled, and emit an unpleasant odor. The best quality of oil shonld be used, as, after all, it is as folly economical; there k less sediment in it, it will born to the last drop, will not smoke so badly and does not leave such a rank odor. The stove shonld be filled after nsing, and when it is first lighted the blaze should be watched, beeguse it increases in intensity and very soon begins to smoke. It can then be regulated and left for some time, especially if yon are baking; if yon have water on boiling, aa soon as the water reaches the boiling point the flame will increase again and most be turned down. The reason for this nobody pretends to explain, bat the foot remains. Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh leas than a single lovely action, and that while tenderness of feeling and susceptibility to generous emotions are accidents of temperment, goodness is achievement of the will and a quality of life. fTAn has now 10,000 small farms averaging twenty-five acres, and the whole must be Irri gated. — Brit-Ha**.

My wife wns troubled with catarrh of the bladder, suffered intense pain In the kidneys and loins, and urination was accomplished with the greatest of agony. My friends thought that she could not recover. We tried dootors and medicines, and although better at times she would grow worse again. She’ was obliged to use the urinal as many a* fifteen times in a night, and was growing worse daily. -At this Mine my attention wai called to Hunt’s Remedy, and I concluded to try it: and after using one bottle she was a good deal better, the iiiffamrfiation was reduced, and the water more natural. Rhe began to gain in«appe- tite, and felt no pain in the back and kidneys. She could a'tend to her household work with out ]>ain, and this had been a great burden to do, even the lightest kind of work. After using six bottles she was completely cured. Since then 1 have had occasion to use Hunt's Remedy for kidney.and liver complaints, and found it to be just as i epreeented, and I con sider it a most vroiftlerful medicine.
