A Paris collector of "chit chat" for the London

the following interesting case of "do," viii ch is
TOO good to he lost:
A LADY,, having entered one of the large shawl
store shops in the Rue St. Hunore, desired to he
suited with cashmere shawl; none ofyour trump
ery knickknacks but an article to the tune OF 5000
frs tf240E This was at las, accomplished; when
Madame, giving her name and address as the wife
of Desirsbode the celebrated dentist ordered II to
be brought bv one of the clerks to Nj. ID. apart

ed herself informed that enlightened frenchman,
that having brother who was sadly a martyr to
the toothache, and who held the "forceps' in un-
utterable dread, she had prevailed on the ynuth
(who was in busines,) by means Of stratagem'
TO come to his IN. D,'s abode, at the same time
requesting Nj. d. to divert the youths attention,
at hrst by abiding to business, &c. and other to-
pics of the day.
All this was punctually promised on the part OF
the dentist, and in due time "rsp' announced the
arrival of the martyr" The lady. taking the
hint, Immediately started of, and meeting the
shawl and its bearer in the ante-roon, laid holn OF
the former, at the same time telling the clerk TO
take the bill in to her husband, who would settle
w. put on no account until ne was dShCd loT It,
The lady having paiked out the clerk palksd IN,
when the following took place M. De.i'

The youth delighted to find such an agreeable com
panon, was in no hurry TO be off, or TO give his
small account" when the matter turned on teeth.
Here was chance for the clerk 30 have his mouth
examined by first rate dentist for no con,dera.

"You have tooth ache now and then. per-

and that instrument again deposited on the Ia

now ensued battles all description: the victim
with his mouth full of blood, could not utter a

himself by looking daggers at the tooth extrac'

Mr.. EDITOR 81 have been promising
myself for the las, three days to send you

treat, but so many are the amusemenis,

I'll now have been unable TO steal suffi-
cent time to enable me TO collect my

For day or two after my arrival, the

ry one seemed elated with the prospect
of a pleasant evening. The air was pure

return, not only freed from all their rheu-
matte and other pains, but have the plea
sure Of riding over 1873 miles Of the best
railroad in America, and viewing the Pc.
tomac scenery, which is unsurpassed, II
equalled, by any in the world.
After arriving in the cars opposite Han.
cock, the passengers are conveyed in
stages to Bath, which town, but for the
encouragement given the springs, must
ere this have been pile Of smouldering
ruins, as the houses are mostly frame, and
in very dlapidated condition. The main
hotels, however, are EXCEPTIONS 10 this re-
mark, as their active, accommodating,
and energetic landlords pay as much at
tention to their houses as their iables-all
of which justly merit our support, for their
abundant supplies and neat and cleanly
condition.

subject, it viii be perceived that for Pc
Rod of ten years preceding 1884, the av.
erage amount OF land sales did no, exceed
So. 000, 900.
For the increase which took place in
ls34-5 and q, we are 10 look 10 that Pc
culiar condition of the country which
grew out OF one OF the most extraordinary
excitemen,s in business and speculation
that have ever occurred IN the history OF
commerce and currency. II was the fruit
OF wild spirit of adventure engendered
by vicious system Of credits, under the
evils Of which the country is still laboring,
and which il is londly hoped will not soon

equal to more than 30 years purchase,
taking the average Of sales Of The ten pre-.
cedlng years, il may be safely asserted
that the result Of the public land sales can
hold out nothing to alarm the manulaciu-

nues, and consequently in The course Of

ton, majority Of two-ihirds OF both

AMUSING is not little extraordi.
nary how many Of our most important
discoveries owe their existence TO chance.
Every body knows the anecdote about
Sir Isaac Newton and the apple, DIR. Jen-
ner and the milkmaid, John Bunyan and
Perkin, &c. &c. But every body does
not know the anecdote of Sir Peter Pun
top, who found the bottom Of coal nine
by chance. proceed therefore to relate
it. Sir Peter had been quarreling with
one of his workmen the day previous to
the catastrophe | am now narratng rela.
ting to wages. There are two ways OF
descending into coal pits. The usual way
is to be wound down in machine; but
they to whom the exit and entrance are
matters Of custom, content themselves in
descending by grasping a rope, which
communicates to a counteractng pully.
The weight ofthe individual thus carries
him dowEwards without dislocation. Sir
Peter, on the day in question, adopted the
latter expedient, as usual, in utter dark
ness. Judge of his horror when, on
reaching the extremity of his journey, he
found that his feet failed to touch the
ground. He instantly thought that the
workman with whom he had quarrelled
had in revenge cut short the rope. He
screamed and bawled till he was hoarse,
but all the operatives had sojourned TO
their dinner. AT length his strength fail
ed him; he let 60 his hold, expecting to
ho dacbad m atono in tho unfat nued n.
byss, and found that he had been for
full half hour screaming about three in
ches from the ground. Here was chance
discovery which netted Sir Peter sorely
insomuch that he felt half angry with him.
