! LIFE IN New YORK-The ready-witted genius
who does the itemizng for the New York Globe,
has an eye to the good things said and done behind
| the scenes at the City Hall and elsewhere. The
following is pleasant bit of matter of fact, inter-
larded with a slight sprinkle of romance:
| Last evening while several OF the Aldermanic
| Committees were in session over the way, de-

The services of Alderman Franklin were soon
put in requisitiOn, who in the presence of Mr. Cor
Oner Walters and several of the City Fathers soon
legitimZed their proceedings in cO-partnership-
Alderman Fitzgerald giving away the bride, and
Alderman Franklin taking, as are informed, the
first kiss from her bIushing cheek This was the
signal for general round of sautes, during which
the bridegroom seemed entirely at a nOnplus, in
view of the entire abandon with which their Al
dermanc Honors went into the business; his face
took Iudicro-sOlemn expression, and crowding his
hands to the bottom of his trOwsers pockets, he
took Julia by the arm, slipped ring upon her finger,

Stephen and Julia toddled off together, happy as
clans at high water.
Gs-"I say Dick, don't you think that if the
women had to do the fighting, instead of the men,
they would make bloody work of it -
No, why do you ask -
" Because | think they would, they have such an
engaging way with them.'
THAT'S very true, but then they have also such
a captivating way, that there would doubtless be
more prisoners than killed"
PARIS, July I7.-Y yesterday, the sale of horses.
carriages harnesses, &c, ofthe Duchess of Orleans
and the Count de Paris, on account of the Govern
ment, commenced. Generally speaking, the horses
AS in number sold well. A good deal of COMPETE
ton arose for the pony of the Count de Paris,
which was knocked down for about 25 guineas to
an American gentleman To-day the carriages
were sold, and like the horses, went off at fair
prices. A good deal of sympathy was elected by
the sale OF certain articles, among others Childs
caleche, with hood and an infants chariot to be
drawn by the hand-COr. London Times

" Johnny's got it, carting mud and clam shells up
the alley, with the cat for a horse"

make but go and get it. We're going to have
company, and must fry some fish for dinner"
ATTACKED BY WILD BEEs-A letter from Dr.
Wilson of Bombay dated April LIST, 1913, states
that while he and Mr.. Henderson, one of the mis-
sionaries, were making researches into the natural
history and antiquities of the adjoining island Of
Salsette, they were nearly stung to death by the
wild bees. The Doctor, however, obtained some
folds of blanket, which he accidentally found
within his pillows which shielded him considerably
from the wrath of these wild insects until he OBJ
tanned assistance from his friends. He was much
reduced when they found him, but soon after re-
covered. Mr.. Henderson appears to have been
slightly injured.
THE ZoDIACAL LIGHTS AND LIGHT OF THE Sun.
Mr.. Lake has applied the experiment noticed in the
AthenRum of 18th March last TO explain the cause
of these phenomena. After stating that the electric
fluid stands only the outer surface of sphere,
and citing Mr.. Surgeons experiments proving that
every vertical column in the atmosphere when I'M |
disturbed is eectrOpolar with its positive pole up
wards to show that the same electric state is found
on our globe, round which the fluid circulates, ne
inerS the luminous streams observed in his expert
ment that during this circulation light must be de-
velOped, and to this attributes the selt-lummoslty
that has been observed at times in the earth and |
Venus. And shall we not ASCEND httle hlgher,
and apply these laws to the sun, with It's dense at
mOsphere There we have evidences OF similar |
effects The circulation of the fluid on that sphere
being more rand and through denser medium
than with Ms exhibits greater intensity of Light
and seeking as on EARTH the higher regions of the
atmosphere. vet controlled by the centrifugal force
resulting from the suns motion on It's axis, and the
attractions of the planets, it produces the zodiacal

S1NGrLAR PREsENTIMENT.-The wife of Noble
Reard. who was killed on Friday by falling from
one of the masts of the ship Yorkshire, had sin
guIar presentiment of the catastrophe. When her
husband left home she was in excellent spirits yet
soon afterwards her mind became oppressed with
melancholy. Though ordinarily of a cheerful tenn
permanent, she could not avoid shedding tears, and
when gentleman entered her door to inform her
of the accident she inquired at once if Mr.. Beard
was dead. Mr. Beard was very moral, temperate
