collecting n Bib

A gentleman who had gone from New
York to Boston to collect some money
due him there, was about returning when
he found that one bill of 500 had been
overlooked. His landlord who knew
the debtor, thought tia doubtful case; but
added that if collectable, a tall Yankee.
then dunning ledger in another part OF
the room, would annoy it out of the man.
Calling him up, he introduced him 10 the
creditor, who showed him the account.
"Wall Squire faint much use trying,
| guess know that critter. You might
as well try 10 squeeze lie out of Bunker
Hill Monument, as TO try TO collect a
debt on, Of him. But, any how, what'll
you give, supposin' l do try"
"Well sir, the bill is sl00. I'll give
you-yes, I'll give you half, if you col
lect it,"
"Agreed," replied the collector: .'ttere's
no harm in trying, any how"
Some weeks after, the creditor hap
pened TO be in Boston, and in walking
up fremont street, he encountered his
very enterprising friend.
"Look here!'' said he; 81 had consid-
cradle luck with that bill Of your'n.-
You see, stuck TO him like dog TO a
root, but the first week or two, it wasn't
no use, not bit. Ii he was at no me he
was short; if he wasn't at home / could
get no satisfaction. By aud by, says /,
after going sixteen times, I'll fix we; so
! SO. down on the door step and sot all
day and part of evening, and | began

Fashion.
We know women now who are dying.

We know women now who are dying,
dying, dying by their own hand, and pi-
-ously saying their prayers every day,
and for their death the magazine pub
fishers are accountable at the bar Of the
Eternal. They are numbering them as
truly as ever David slew Uriah by the
hand of the Amalekites. Nohuman agen-
cy can teach these poor victims of fash
ion-plaie mongers, that the long whale
bones sticking down into their sides, the
tight strings tied around the small o. their
back, and weight of skirts dragging on
them, are crushing their lives out, drag
ging them to their graves. They will
not believe they are entailing misery and
disease and death upon their children
But, yet, many Of them do know it. and
with all their Wanted love for their off
spring, would rather see their little ones
suffer ten thousand deaths, than they
themselves should fail to look '.like Pro-
metheus in my picture here"-a long-si-
ded funnel set on a jug.

GROWTH Oh CINcINNATI.--There is
nothing in all history or observation to
parallel the growth of Cincinnati.
The man-Asa Holcomb--is yet liy-
ing, who saw the first cellar dug in this
city.
The man--Jereniah Butterfield-is
yet living, who assisted Israel LUDLOW in
surveying and laying out our Streets
sixty years ago. He landed here in
1856, on his way to St. Louis, when
not single white dwelt between the
Miamis. He survives TO behold the
county in which he resides, comprehen-
ding population of almost 100000 in
habitants. There is nothing in the past
or present, to vie with this picture of
progress.-Cisfs .AdU.

Lieut.. Lynch of the United States
Exploring Expedition to the river Jor-
dan and the Red Sea in ls4s, visited
the garden Of Gethsemane about the mid
die Of May. He says -
"The clover upon the ground was in
bloom, and altogether, the garden, in Its
aspect and associations, was better calcu-
lated than any place know to sootll a
troubled spirit. Eight venerable trees
isolated from the smaller and less imPo-
sing ones which skirt the pass OF the Mt.
of Olives, form consecrated grove
High above on either hand, towers LOT
ty mountain, with the deep yawnlng
chasm of Jehoshaphat between them
Growing one Of them is Jerusalem,
living city; on the slope of the other is
the great Jewish cemetery, city OF the
dead. Each tree in this grove. canker-
ed and gnarled and furrowed by age, yet
beautiful and impressive in its decay is
living monument Of the affecting scenes
that have taken place beneath and around
it. The olive perpeiuates itself, and
from the root of the dying parent stem,
the young tree springs into existence
These are accounted one thousand years
old. Under those of the preceding
growth, therefore the Saviour was wont
TO rest; and one Of the present may mark
the very spot where he knelt, and pray
ed and wept. No caviling doubt can
find entrance. Here the Christian, for
getfuI of the present. and absorbed IN
the past, can resign himself to sound
yet soothing meditation. The few pur-
pie and crimson flowers, growing about
the roots of the trees, will give him am
pie food for contemplation: for they tell
of the suffering and ensaDguined death
of the Redeemer."

A SPEc.-A youth, "away down east"
just landed from the coaster in which he
had worked bis passage TO our good city,
dropped into a cheap yictualling cellar,
and called for bowl Of fish chowdered.
The savory dish was forthwith set be-
fore our hungry adventurer, who dipped
into it with will. The STRIPPING, how
ever, had not got half way through with
his mess when, to his surprise, he fish
edup an ivory comb! "Gracious glory!"
whispered the young kenebecker to him
self, "wal, if here arn't streak o'luck,
any how, TO begin with; six cents for a
bowl Of chowder, and fine tooth comb
-raal ivory worth good ninepence
anybody's money-,hrown in!' Our
thrifty but not very squeamish youngster
pocketed the prize, finished his chowder,
paid six cents from his wallet, all in
cents-then went on his way refreshed
and ejoicing.-Boston Post.

perhaps be found in the following para
graph, which we cut from an English
paper:
"The ship Elizabeth Anislie has been
destroyed by fire at Cumsingmoon, in
India. She was laden with cotton, salt
peire. and opium. A cask of spirits
first caught fire, and almost immediate

IMPERFEcT EDUcATIoN.-Leigh Hunt
says he never got through the multipli-
cation table when a boy, and does not
know it yet, though he is now GO years
of age. Hunt also states another re-
markable fact, which is that the early
education of the celebrated West, Presi.

SO neglected, that when at the zenith of
his fame as painter, he scarcely knew

city on the 18th ult. as one of the most

Gravity.

A heavy body falls through l5,O954
feet in one second in the latitude of Lon
don, in vacuum at the level of The sea;
the double Of this quantity, or 80. 1905
fee: is the measure Of gravity at that
place. At Paris, under the like circum-
stances, the fall of heavy body is 400
434 metres, or 10000 imp. feet; and
the measure of gravity 9,s0s67 metres;
or 32,l8l2 imp. feet.
The spaces described in different times
by falling body, are TO each other as
the squares of the times from the begin
ming of the descent; or, which produces
the same result, they are as the squares
of the velocities acquired at the end Of
those times.
Gravity and specific weight are not
always interchangeable terms-gravity
being power of which weight is the
effect.-Sci. finer.

The MoNTEsquIoUs.- This case,
which was originally set for Monday,
30ih ult., was called up yesterday by the
defendants counsel, and continued by
order of the Court, to the next term, in
November; and we understand that
Judge Colt thinks il doubtful if he can
even then make final disposition of H.
We believe it is the practice of the
bar TO discontinue criminal prosecution,
when two juries have failed to render a
verdict. The costs of this case are i'm
mense, and as it is almost, if not abso.
lutely, impossible to ge! an impartial r-
ry, (and there is no change of venue
from this county, and as there is but
little probability of the accused ever suf-
tering the penalty of the law, we are un.
able to see any good reason why the
proper authorities should not stop the
case where it stands. Such course
would, IN our opinion, meet. in all prob
ability, the general appreciation Of the
citizens of st. Louis, because the friends
of the accused seem TO believe they are
innocent, and their enemies believe that
il is impossible to convict them, under
the circumstances, and that the further
prosecution of the case can therefore
only result in burdening the people with
