THE STEWARD OF THE SENORITA BEING BEATEN ELY IS CAST ON AN ISLAND. clphia Press To-day. United States Commissioner Bell yesterday held Captain Robert Wiltbank, of the briganti Daphne, lying at Wilmington, to bail on the charge of cruelty and abuse to Frederick Lealto, a young colored man. According to the story of the latter he shipped as steward of the Senor- ita, under Captain Wiltbank, in January last.

The deaths which are frequently reported from the consumption of supposed edible fungi render this question an important one. Prof. Ponfick,of Breslau, has lately made experiments on the common mushroom, and the practical re- sults obtained are interesting and valuable. It appears that all common,mushrooms are poison- ous—a fact not sufficiently understood—but cooking deprives them in a greater or less degree of their poisonous qualities. The repeated wash'ng with cold water which they usually undergo to clean them takes away a portion of the poison, and boiling does the rest; but the water in which they have béen boiled is highly poisonous, and should always be carefully d ispored of. Experi- ments which Prof. Ponfick made on dogs showed that if a dog ate its own weight of raw mush- rooms it fell sick, but recovered; if it ate 1}, per cent the poison had a more vielent but not fatal effect, and if it ate 2 per cent it was inevi- tably fatal, Thewater in which mushrooms had been boiled was far more poisonous than the raw mushrooms; while the mushrooms thus boiled could be taken without hurt to the amount of 10 per cent of the weight of the dog’s body. Washing with cold water does not remove all the poison, so that mushrooms thus pre] were poisonous when taken in large quantities. Dried mushrooms are still dangerous for from 12 to 20 days, and also the water in which they have'been boiled. They require to be dried for at least a whole month, and are really only sate after four months’ drying.

The aban- which cur when we and a magnetic sleep uced when we are asleep 1 the ordinary way. It does not foliew that if we fall Into a magnetic sleep we shall have netic dream and, if | we do dream magneticaily, it does not tollow | that we shall remember what we hav metic sleep is far deeper th y sleep, and in the slow process of awaking from it we may forget the spectacle which it has 1 abled us to see. Sometime: wever, the im- pression which the vision has produced on our feeling remains; and on these occasions, it the vision has been one of coming disaster, (as it commonly isin the worst of possible worlds, according to Schopenhauer), we e what is called a presentiment of evil, and our presenti- ment is sure to be realized sooner or later. At other times our magnetic dream—that is, our perception of realities—may be transtormed into a sort of allegory which is capable of dif- ferent interpretations. Of this kind were the predictions of the Delphic oracle, which fre- quently could not be understood until they were fulfilled. Schopenhauer was not of opin- ion, however, that our mysterious yisions in their original torm invariably pass from the memory; and he gives an example of one which he himself had an opportunity of studying. ‘his instance seemed to him all the more re- markable because it related to a matter of little importance. One day he was writing a letter in | great haste, and when he had finished the third | page he intended to strew writing-sand over what he had written. In his hurry he seized the inkstand instead of the vessel containing sand, and dashed the contents over his letter. As the ink poured from his desk he rang for the maid to wipe it from the floor. When she was enguged in doing so she said: “Last night I dreamt that I should be wiping ink-spots from the floor here.” ‘That is not | true,” answered Schopenhauer. “It is true,” | she replied, ‘ahd when I_ awoke I mentioned it to the other maid who sleeps with me.” Just then the other maid happened to enter the room in order to call away her fellow-servant. Scho- penhauer, advancing to meet her, at once asked: “What did this girl dream last night?” don’t know. ‘Yes, you do; she told you when she awoke.” ‘Oh, to be sure,” the maid then sald, “she dreamt that she would be wiping ink: spots from the floor here.” Schopenhauer gravely points out that this anecdote is not only sufficient evidence for magnetic dreaming, but that it establishes the truth of the doctrine | that everything happens in accordance witha fixed and necessary order. hol 1 he m: by hi after some n the children, or the lady cousin Perhaps she ha too, axing she tells it, looking lovely che d All sorts of are inireduced and di i plan for th the opera of the ni on freely, bound r So the talk runs fac yno rules, for by common consent conventiondlism is thrown asid disregard rule is very comfortable. in the world, and woman, too, for patter, feels more at case in. slippers than ots. and there is such a sort of thing as when the stiff leather and are yet to Be donned, that st hour. winality about the n bieaktast table tempered in the gentle sway of a cultured And what can be It Is not affected ‘ou; no mere blind copying of the thing or the sty! ich some autocrat of icty has set the stamp ef fashion. Enter this, that or the other English breakfast room? and if the people can aftord it you will find your cup site thing, your plate, your knife and z-cup all elexant; but their ance is of acertain sort that has obtained the imprimatur of some social potentate. Even » talk runs in certain confined channels, dis- enough marked, it may be, but not origi- talk alike. But here one ses that, jad to miss it. People sometimes talk olitanism as if it were a great and irable thing, Ask the cosmopolitan himself what he thinks about it, and he will tell you, unless he has seen the world to very little purposi he wearies of the sameness it bi and prefers one touch of originality to wide reaching infi sof life, after the world model. This originality makes it hard to de- seribe the breakfast table, by which is meant the material thing Itself. In one thing we are cer- tainly backward. Our china is rarely good unless it is not ours, but is borrowed from Eng- and. It is not easy to account for this, for we are inventive enough to have developed new forms. and we have in our country all the ma- terials requisite to the production of the best re Still, itisatruth. Let us be consoled, er; we don’t eat china. What we can eat kin e delightful thi ludi culture, mind tent wit his his the low despite all that Is icely 2ooked. AS a tic souls that dote on the utter, it may be mentioned that it is whispered a reform is to be effect saucers. Rumor even says. without hinting how they are to be replaced, that they are to disappear from the breakfast table. Oscar has pronounced them gshapeless. Be it so; it is STATESMANLIKE Diversions.—Both partridie- shooting and cover-shooting are statesmanlike diversions. From Sir Robert Walpole to Sir Robert Peel, great English ministers have bet addicted to them. But it is only quite of late years that such enormous bags have been in fashion. Ticknor, who visited Woburn in 1819, has left us an account ofa day’sshootingin which eleven guns killed about four hundred head, and were thought to have done wonders. When Lord Palmerston, in 1810, went down to Con- yers, jn Essex, to shoot with Mr. Lamb, after- ward Lord Melbourne, he only killed one brace of pheasants, and says that Lamb was luckier, who killed tour brace. The day, he tells us, was terribly stormy, and, of course, there are many places where no more would be killed now. Bat at his own place, Broadlands, he never affected to keep up the enormous head of game which contemporary game preseryers love, though he was warmly attached to the sport, and would insist on going out partridge- moons ars ogee roo blind ea oo a temperate regions.

It {s not so much in its tone as in what is on the board. Our transatlantic cousins have everything very nice; they distance us altogether in the form and material of their lates and other crockery; they have not learned to discard good steel for plated iron that will not cut, and they believe in a light meal at the breakfast hour. “Cold bread takes the place of our hot, fresh rolls; beefsteaks are rarely seen.
