 li- 1 14 (I ji â- ) ill? i A LONG DSIFT. VtoattiiC SeorU Fnm th« Jara Bniim«B. Tae following interesting aeooant of •ahea and pumice from the vqlcanie eiop- tkm on the ialand of Java in 1883, found •float at sea in Janaaiy 1 wt, u farniahed from the log of the Intolope of BtMt^on: Ffom the 14-Ji to the Ib'Jx, of Janaary, betven lati-ades 1 degree 'snd 4 de^^rees â- ovth, and longitodea 83 degrees and 84 degrees east, we passed through quantities of pnmlceB':one and ashes. Ac umes the Ma appeared to be literally covered by It. The Urge piecaa were heavily weighted with marine growths, and muiy pieces appeared to be on the point of sinking. We picked ap a smallquantlty of it, and MBoog it found a small and very peculiar shaped fish, somewhat resembling a turbot. W« OM^ mention that a large n umber of fish similar to the one we caught and a fish resembling an alewive, also lots of â- mall crabs, were among the pumice, and they all appeared to be busily engaged awtasBilng from piece to piece eating barn- soles, etc. The pumice Is, no doubt, part of that thrown up by the terrible eruption which occurred in Java Aug. 25 to 28 1883, and, therefore, has been afloat some 600 days. We were surprised to find it in this par- ticular position, and more surprised tc fiad any of it afloat at all after such a lapse of time. About the 28bh of September last the â- ea beach of Natal, south west Africa, was covered by pumice, cast ashore by the â- ea. The pumice must have begun if-s jour- ney about the 28 h of August, 1883, and In 397 daya it had drif :ed â€" taking Java as its point of departure â€" adistance of 4,400 miles, or 11 geographical miles per day. This is certainly a moaii instructive il- lustration of the w ^sterly current we always espec' whea crossing the Indian ocean toward the Cape of Good Hope. Bat how did the pumice reach ihe poal- tloD in which we found it in such q[uanti- ties. We can only form conjectures as to the probable course It took. The equatorial oacrent, which originally starced this large qaantlty of pumice and ashes and landed part of it on the African oast, runs from Java in one large body, to about latltode 18 degress eouth longitude 70 de grees east; here Itdivides into two branches oneflowing southwest, and the other weab- northwt^st, toward Madagascar. So say the writers on 03ean currents. Ships which arrived at Bombay daring last Aogusb and September, and passed «ast of Madagascar, rapo?t large fields of pumice off of this Island this comprises o le part of our conj ecture. The current proceeding to the north west and reaching to the north point of Madagascar azain divides itself, one brauch entering the Mozambiqae channel and running to the southwest the other, c jntiauing its course to the northwest event- ually strikes the African shore to the northward of Zinzibar, and is turned off' to the northward, and again, after having been whirled aroand, and held in bondage as It were,f jr atlmeby conflicting can en ts and the changing monsoons, part of it is carried to the position in which we found It la such quantities by the easterly cur- rents which prevail about the equator dur- ing the northwest monsoon; and hear it wUl again be held by changeable carrents until eventually it becomes snffioiently weighted by marine growths and sinks to the bottom. Part of the large fialdof pumice, which origiually started from Java, will no doubt be carried to the southward of Aguihas bank, off the Cape of Good Hope where the carrents are very strong, and turning sharply from the southwest to the south- ward and southeast, wUl reach the well know easterly drift, which flows all the year round, and is so favorable bo ships bound to Australia when they ace south of 40 degrees latitude, and eventually be landed on thecoaats of Aus- tralia and New Zealand. Trus in theend many thousands of miles will separate what was once a portion of Java. I may mention that we passed small quantities of it In the South Atlantic. The last we faw of it waa when we were about 500 miles to t.i uurth west ward of the Caoe of G^od Hopa. A Captive Kins« The authorities of the Maritime Hos- jital at Brest have, at the present mo- lient, under their guardianship a king, jBcently brought to France as a prisoner It war. His realms ara situated near *orto Novo, on the west coast of Africa; And while wandering about his dominions King Hambo, quite oblivious of his oath of fidelity, incited his subjects to rebel against the ^rench, when their Marine Infantry were recently landed in Senegal. He was slightly wounded by the Franch oldiers, and being captured, was shipped off to Fr ince in very depressed spirits. Although treated with every consider- ation in the Brest Hospital, this sable- ddnbed monarch declines, it is said, to ti^e a cheerful view of life, and appears tO;b8 pining after freedom. He can con- vey with no one, there being nobody who understands his language, nn he is obliged to make known his wants by adgns. iVhen requested' on his arrival tiie first night, to undress before going to bed, he very energetically ref useid to do â- o, and ever since he persists in keeping his clothes on night and day. 'EAag Hambo seems to have conceived a strong attachment for the doctor of the ward in wl^eh he is placed and, now that he Is becoming convalescent, he evinces his at- tachment by diligently bnuhiog iSvki gentleman's clothes wlMnever he gets an opportunity of making himself nsefal in ti^s numner. It is net intended to de- tain Uie eaptlve monarch in Franee. 'When quite recovered from his wound he will be restored to hts falthf ol sahfestB. Business Enterprise. After the iuoorti^ot gold in (Mitovnia In 1843, says the )vcTland, and before any commnideation was had with American or European c^mmeielal pvts, the de- mand for supplies cl almost every kind bee tme often oppressive. There were no railways, io teli^raph, no steamships by whic^ comainnicatlon could be made no intimation when any ship would approach the coast, yet it was of the utmost import- ance to the merchant that he obtain the earliest opportunity to board an incoming vessel, and make such purchases as wonld in a measure forestall the efforts of Ills rivals. For this purpose each of several trading house* kept in constant readiness a good boat and a set of oarsmen, with whie^ to ineet any craft that came intd the liar- bor, and secure the first chance. In the front rank of these competing houses were those of C. L. Ross and of Howard and Menus. One day, a shout was heard "A brig is coming in!" In a moment Howard had the rudder- lines of his boat, and Boss those of his, and eveiy oarsman sprung his "ash " to the utmost. It was about three miles to the brig, and the race was closely contest- ed. Boss was only a hundred yards ahead, when he grasped the ropes and sprang over the bulwarks. The captain stood at the rail and Roes accosted him in his peculiarly rapid manner, â€" "Got any red woollen shirts 1" "Yes," s»id the captain, "a hundred dczen." Without asking a sinijle question as to the further contents of the vessel, Boss said, â€" "^hab will you take for your entire cargo â€" every-thing in the shipl" "A hundred per out. advaaea on thg New York invoije." "It is done," said Roes, as he handed the skipper a hundred dollais "and this binds the bargain.*^ As the captain received the money, Howard reached the deck. There were no red woolen skirts in the country, and every miner must have a pair, even if they cost him a hundred dollars â€" and Ross knew it. Don't do it. Do not wait.

What l8 CataTli r Catarrh is a muco puurulent dischargfe caused by the presence and development of the vegetable para- site amceba in the internal lining membrane of the nose. Thie parasite is only developed under favorable circumstances, and these are Uorbid state of the blood, as the blighted corpuscle of tubercle, the germ poison of syphilis, mercury, toxcemea, from the reten- tion cf the effete matter ct the skin, suppressed per- spiration, badly ventilated sleeping apartments, and other poisons thai are germinated in the blood. These poisons keep the internal liains; membrane of the nose in a oonsttnt state of irritation, ever ready for the s°eds of the germs, which spread up the nos- trils and down the fauces or back of the throat, caus- ing ulceration cf the throat, up to the eustachian tubes, causing deafness, burrowing in the vocal cords, caxising hoaiseaess usurping the proper itructure of the bronchial tubes, ending in pulmonary consump- tion and death. Many attempts have b^en made to discover a cure for thisditttressingdiBeaseby the use of inhalementa and other ingenious devices, but none of these treat- ments can do a particle of good nnt 1 the parasites are either destroyed or removed from the mucous tissue.

Notwithatanding the statement that fig- ures never lie, calves are often false. The experience of the manufactorera of the "Myrtle Navy" tobacco is a valuable lesson in political economy. Previous to their commencing that brand, the tobacco made of the finest Virginia leaf was always held at fancy prices, and put up in some fancy style of manufacture It was thought that only the rich would buy such tobacco, and at the old prices none but the rich could buy it. The makers of the " Myrtle Navy " xeaolved to strip the manufacture of the tobacco of all its fancy «oetB and put their profit at so low a rate that no com- petitor could possibly undersell them with the same quality of article. From tiie very first until now tiieir rate of profit has been a uniform percentage upon tiie cost. It s their enonnona sales whidi make their low rate of profit a satisCactory one in the aggt«. gate, and also gives tiiem their firm hold uptm the market.
