InmortaIity of Jokes.

Somebody, we believe it was Colesworthy-
once SAID, "a printed thought never dies" If he
had said Joke, printed or imprinted, never dies,
he would have come nearer the mark. A joke is
the most vital of all earthly things. Not only does
it never die, it grows old, rather it is
renewing its youth. Here, for instance, in the
first paper at hand is the joke about Jonas feeling
rather down in the mouth while in the whales bel
ly, which laughed over in our boyhood. Regular
y, every year two, it comes up again fresh, and
good as new. There is Just much laugh In il
as ever. So the joke of two lrishmen who reck-
ened as they had ten miles to 90, IT was Just five
miles apiece, is as old as the poles, but comes
round to US yearly as jolly ever. Thus jokes go
the rounds of newspapers, get re vamped and re-
juvenated and flourish in immortal youth
Mankind, generation after generation, "laugh
and grow fat " over the same jokes. 1t would sur
prise you to 90 back to ancient annals and see
how many of the current Jokes of the day had
their origin in the early twilight of history Wen
dali Phillips tells that the ancents laughed at
the same jokes at which we laugh-One of the few
arts which have not been lost. A joke survived
the fall of Troy, the sacking of jerusalem,
witnessed the conquest Of Cunstantinople by the
Turks, and to-day Is diverting mems minds, while
Russia has turned Turk, and the Turks are almost
Christians! Why, the Wandering Jew is nothing
but Joke. The Catholic Church prefesses to pOs-
sess one of the horns of Moses, which certainly
must be joke, of great antiquity! The horn of
d" Nose" of the present day is no joke.
And then the ubiquity of jokssi They are as
universal as John Smith, aud a great deal more
popular. The same joke that moves to cachina-
ton the lantern jaws of the Yankee, has also tick
led the bluff Engishmen, delighted the sprightly
Frenchman, moved to mirth the phlegmatic Ger
man, and softened the sombre Spaniard. Oh,
glorious Z" institution" is u joke Jokes must be
immortal. Wen ask the spirits Portland Trans

Wild Race of a Locomotive.

Yesterday morning collision occurred on the
Miami road, at Milford. The mail train coming
into the city was some thirty FIVE minutes behind
time at Milford station. Conductor Osgood was
on the platform helping the ladies' to and from the
cars when the whistle of the Hillsboro freight train
was heard, and the locomotive seen coming around
the sharp curve above Milford at full speed. The
conductor of the freight train was on the engine,
anu told his engineer TO check up. The signal
was gwen, but the breaks were insufficient 10 hold
the wheels, and the cars came booming down the
slippery track with abated but dangerous speed.
i he wheels were reversed, and the conductor and
engineer jumped from the engine. breakman
on the mail train shouted to the passengers to get
out, but before they could escape the descending
locomotive came into the car with terrible crash,
aud trent nearly through, splntering wood and
iron, but-and there's the marvel-kiIling not one
OF the twenty passengers, the most of whom had
got well forward before the iron horse csme thun-
dering over their seats
When Mr.. Watt, engineer of the mail train
heard the crash of the collision, he supposed his
own train would be driven over him. and, with his
assistants sprang of. The furnace had Just been
crammed with wood and there was full head of
steam on. The force of the blow uncoupled the
locomotive and tender from the baggage car, at
the same instant jerking the Ieuer and hrotcing
the throttle rGlIe Iride openi Away sped the To-
comotiye like an arrow, or, if might so say like
a fiat Of Omnipotence, sweeping down the track at
seventy miles hour! God help the hapless
train met or overtaken-help the city, but full
fourteen miles below for that distance will be de-
youred in fifteen minutes!
The escaped engine came bowling by Plainville
visible for an instant TO the appalled, villagers
switched off into the double track, as lightning
from steel rod to another divergent and thuri-
dered on to the city whose spires must now have
been seen from the iron disc of this fiery comet
but there none to see, for rider, driver, or
living human soul had the engine none On
straight on the city,! the city!!
Happily the furnace door flew open, the draught
ceased and a little way above the upper engine
house, on a heavy up grade, the locomotives
breath spent it came to a dead stand and
stood there silent and cold, forming much part
of the wintry landscape as the whitened rock and
shrouded trees on the hill above.

Minute Wonders of Art,

Mr.. Power SAYS he q golden chain az

hundred links, not more than an inch ID length,
fastened to and Pulled away by flea. And my
self Isays Baker, in his essay on the MICROSCOPIC
have seen very lately, near Durham yard, in the
Strand, and have examined with my microscope,
a chaise (made BY one Mr.. Boverick, watch-na-
kerl having four wheels, with all the proper appa
ratus belonging 10 them turning regularly their
axles together with q man sitting in the chaise /;
all formed with ivory, and drawn by flea without
any seeming difficulty, weighed 1t with The great
est care was able, and found the chalse, man and
flea, were barely equal to one single grain.
weighed also, at the same time and place, brass
chain made by the same hand, about two inches
long, containing two hundred links, with hook at
one end, paddock and key at the other, and found
it less than a third part of grain. ] likewise
have seen quadrile table, with drawer in it, an
eating table, a sideboard table, looking-glass
twelve chairs with skeleton backs, two dozen knives
and as many forks, twelve spoons, two salts,
frame and castors, together with gentleman, lady
and fuotman, all contained in cherry stone, and
not filling much more than half of it' At the
present day there are to be purchased cherry stones
highly polished with ivory screws, which coDtaih
each I20 perfect silver spoons, bauble worthy
the patronage of juvenile part OF the commu-
Ir;ty. We are told that one Oswald MerIhger
made cup of a pepper-corD, which heie twelve
hundred other little cups all turned in ivory, each
of them being gilt on the edges, and standing up
ON foot and that, so far from being crowded or
wanting room, the pppper-corn would nave Held
