Do -Ma in the Sea.
The following is a list of the missing
steamships from the .Presidcnt, in 1841, up
to the disappearance of the City of Boston :
The/Jeer/tient, which left New York, March
.‘ 11, 1841, having among her passengers Ty --
Tone Power, conaretedian ; a son of the Duke•
OfRichmond, and other notea persons, is in
this dismal catalogue, and so is the City of
Vlasgow, lost in 4851, and the Pacific in
1856; but we recollect no other vessels of
similar character that have so vanished and
"left not a wrack behind." Consequently
the chances would seem thetas in'theeases
of the troopship Birkenhead and the packets
St. George, Central America, Sarah Sands,
Austria, Anglo Saxon, and London, a .9.;reat-
er or less number of the passengers of the
'missing ceaft may, have been saved. Such
it will be remembered, was also the fact as
regards the _Eddy Elgin, sunk by collisioa
on lake Michigan, 'Sept. 8, 1850. -Of her
385 passengers, 287 perished, among whom
were Mr. Herbert Inghan, M.P., the found-
er of the illustrated London Hews, and his
- son. Of the passengers and crew of the
Hungarian on the other hand, which was
wrecked on the coast of Nova Scotia, Feb-
ruary 19, of the the same year, ellen board
were lost. The Birkeuh" cad, wrecked off
Simon's Bay, Seeth of - Africa, Febrile -1y 26
1852, lost 481 and saved 184. The 84.
George, -which was 15oend for Liverpool
from New York, was destroyed by fire at
sea, Dec. 23, 1852, lost 51, while 7Q were
rescued and taken . to Havre by the Ameri-
can ship Ortando. The Central America,
which foundered an her way from Havana
to New York, Sept. 12, 1857, carried 570
persons of whom only '452 were saVed. Of
the 438 on board the Austria, burned in the
middle of the Atlantic, Sept. 13. 1854, but
67 survived. The Sarah Sands, which sail-
ed from Portsmouth for Calcutte in August
1857, took fire in Nov. aed afterwards ex-
perienced a tremendous gale'carried all on
board safely into the port. Me Anglo Sax-
on, -wrecked on a reef off Cape Race, during
a denee foge, April 27, 1.863, lost 237. out of
446 individuals. The London, which eves
foundered in the Bay- of Biscay, January 11
1866, on the passage freen Englanel to Mel-
bourne, lest 320 lives, amongst whom were
Dr. Wooley, Principal of the University at
Sydney, and Mr. G. V. Brooke, the trage-
dian. Two instances have befallen during
the past few yea.rs, when the ioraanticinci-
dent, so much used by novelists and dra,rua-
tists, of a single life being saved -from
among all on board, a lost ship, has been
really exemplified. These were in the case
of the _Dalhousie, -wrecked off Beeehby Head
October 19, 1853, and the Dunbar, -wreck-
ed off Sydney, August 20, 1867. In the
latter instance the survivor was thrown by
a gigantic wave into a tiny aperture high
up in the face of a precipice -L -the chance of
such a thing ocean:Mg being' about the
same as that of throwing -a pea in a nail
hole in the side of a wall—where he lay in-
sensible fer many houre, but was filially
discovered and saved by e deririg fellow,
who caused himself to be let down from the
top of; the aclivity• by ropes. --Hew York

. Signs of the Hands.
A little work on "Modern Palmistry '
brings together zt, large amount of amusing
gossip, but see cannot say how much you
may believe of it. Tne person - who will
carefully study the -wrinkles, furrows, lines
and hollows on the hands, will be able te
tell fortunes as well as any modern. gypsy.
If the palm of the hand be long, end the
fiegers well proportioned, etc., not soft, but
rather hard, it: denotes the person to be in-
genious, changeableand given to theft and
-vice.
If the Lands be hollow, solid, and well
knit in the joints, it predicts long lifebut
if over thwarted, then it 'denotes short life.
Observe the finger of Mercuiy—thet is
the little finger ; if the end of it exceeds
the Joint of the third finger; flee man will
rule his house ; and his wife will be pleas-
ing and obedient to him ; but if it res-sisort,
and does not leach the joint, he will have a
shrew, and she will be boss.
Broad nails show the person to be bash-
ful and fearful, but of a gentle nature. -
NatTOAV nails denote the person to ee in-
clined to Mischief, and to do injury .to - his
neighbors.
Long nails show a person to be good ne
tured ; but distrustful, and loving reconcili-
ation rather than differences.
Oblique nails signify deceit Lula vant of
courage.
Little round nails denote obstinacy, an-
ger; and hetred.
- If they are crookell at the extremity, they
show p: ide and fierceness.
Round nails show ea- choleric person.- yet
soon reconciled, honesty, a lover of seeret
science.
Flpshv nails denote the person to be mild
in temper, idle and lazy. ,..
Palle :old black nails show the p6,1S011 to,
be vereedeceitful to his nieighbor and sub-
ject to many diseases. -

The Yak; a bovine animal inhabiting
Thihet, ba e been subjected to a series of ex-
periments in France, with a view to aseers
taining whether the plopagatiott can be
made profitable. Several, years ago a herd
of these animals was presented to the So-
ciety of Acclimation. The yark is about 7
feet long and 4 high. It resembles the ox,
but has a bushy tail like the horse, its hair
curls like some kinds of wool, and it indulg-
es in a peculiar grunt, which might easily
be 'mistaken for that of a pig. The wander-
ing tubes of Tartars hold the yak of high
value, becanse it is e sure footed beast of
burden, and the female yields a rich milk,
the butter, from which has become quite an
article of merchandise. Its horns are some-
times as white as ivory. Its meat has a
flavor somewhat resemblingthatof venison.
The wild yak of thibet is found near the
snow -1 ne of the mountains, and it is not
improbable that this animal woule be found
of great use if introduced into the metintain
regions of the western part of the United
States.

A LONELY POST OFFICE.—The lonliest as
well as the most novel Post -Office in the
world, is located on the southern extremity
of South A merim. Fe* r malty y ears a small
barrel has been fastened by an iron chain
to the outmost rock of the Hiounblins 'over-
hanging the Straits of Magellan, opposite

,I17.14E Worse-le—The Revolution tells of a'
regiment of rifle -women :—The annual met-
ing of the Government Benevolent Society
of Scotlend was held the first week in Feb -
teary, in Edinburgh. Admiral Ramsay, in
seconding the adoption of. the reeert, said he
thought women should be admitted -to study
law, medicine, and theology, if they were
willing to pey for it. He not know
hoer ladies would do to -enter his own pro-
fessiens` He would not like to -say they
would- prove themselves unable to come
mand a fleet, or that they wotild be wanting
in courage to encounter all the dangers • ot
naval watefarre,' but there existed a great
deal ofprejudice against the fair sex becoth-
ing connected with either the army or the
navy. , On the Coast of Africa he mice saw
e: regiment .of rifle-women—and, black as
they were, he must say he never saw a finer
reeirhent. Allsthe officers were women,
there was not aCilegle man in the whole re-
ginient. They Were most courageous, and
fought bravely ; infact., a friend told me
that, when theyeeent into action they fought
like so Mary tigresses.
