provisions. He could spell to,erabty, but found it
difficult to read An easier place was found, and by
spelling slowly the sense was determined until the
last word was reached, which was" governor" The
voter here came to full stop--a dead halt That
word was !" poser.h He was requested to spell it,
told to try it again. he did so, but hesitated again
He stumbled among the three syllables for some time
and at last was requested to pronounce the word.

CoLossAL FOUNTAINS. The fountains of the Crys-
tai Palace at Sydenham. England, are among the
greatest wonders of the world. The huge fountains
throw vast jets of water to height Of three hun
dred and eighty feet. Two towers erected on the
highest part of the grounds. each two hundred and
seventy feet high; powerful engines take water from
artesan wells five hundred and seyentyive feet deep
and throw it to the top Of these towers whence it de-
scends and feeds the fountains. The total weight of
each tower when the fountains are playing, is over
three thousand cons Besides the two colossal foun-
tains there are ten lesser Ones that throw Jets
hundred feet high, well as almostceuntless smaller
fountains in addition to watertempes cascades ETC..
end several thousand small jets. requiring one hun
bred and twenty thousand gallons Of water per min
ute to supply them Ten miles OF iron pipes are re-
quircd to conduct the water that feeds these works
fhe sight wheu they are all in full play is said to be
s most magnificent. The spectator sees before him

each other, the Crystal Palace building browning thu

DANGEROUS CuRIosrrY. An accident which, though
comic enough might easily have had tragcal ending,
occurred the other day at Madame Tussauds exhib-
zion. IA medical student who, examining the guio,.
iae in the Chamber Of Horrors took 1t into his head
Chat the sort OF yoke which fits down on the shoulders
OF the criminal would not be sufficient to conilne
person who struggled His curiosity on this point led
him TO watch till the place was empty and actually
put himself in, letting down the yoke He soon
found that he was quite unable to lift it, and it at once
flashed across his mind, that the sharp axe which
was suspended over his neck could not be very firmly
fixed or 1t would not fall Gas it does) with touch;
He afraid to struggle lest the shaking should .
bring il down and at once deposit his head IN the
basket Of sawdlst below him, into which his eyes
were Of necessity steadily looking. Having stayed
some time in this plight he was overoyed TO near the
approach 81 visitor whom he suppliantly implored
to release him. "I'm thinking said the gentleman
"a Scotch visitor Of the metropolis to his wife y y
thinking he's hired to show how the thing acts, and
think we'd better not interfere" So the luckless stu
dent was left till NJ Tussaud came in and made fas
the axe before releasing him. The axe mas been re
moved and laid by the side to prevent future acct
dents. [London Weekly Register. -

A LESSON FOR WIvEs-The following touching
simple and sorrowful memorial of his wife was writ
ten by one of the greatest statesmen OF England
Sir james McIntosh-in private letter to Il TREND
"She was woman he writes who, by tender
management OF my weaknesses, gradually corrected
the most pernicious OF them. She became prudent
from affection and though of the most generous
nature she was taught trugaity and economy by her
love for me. Daring the most critical period OF my
life she preserved order in my affairs from the care
of which she relieved me. She gently reclaimed me
from dissipation; she propped my weak and irreso-
lutte nature she urged my incidence to all the eXer
tons that have been useful and credtahle to me; and
she was perpetually at hand to admonsh my heed
lessness and improvdence. To her owe whatever

never for moment forgot my character. Her feel
ngs were warm and impetuous, but she was piacshe
| tender and constant. Such was she whom have

worth had refined my youthful love into friendship

for corn, a single grain in each hill, has produced
the enormous yield of $4,000 stalks. about eight

five stalks to each seed, the number of hills being

AN AUSTRIAN VIEW OF THE INDIAN DIFFICULTIES
However much the English may have sinned in In
dia it is impossible to consider their present position
without experiencing feeling Of admiration. Sur
rounded by treachery and mutiny, menaced' by
doubtful friends much as by open and deadly en-.
emies. small band braves all danger; and appears
to acquire fresh courage in proportion its difficult
ties increase. The British troops seek their enemies
wherever they are likely to find them, attack them
in spite of their inferiority in point " numbers
and defeat them completely &C handful Of Span
iards once did the hosts of Montezuma.
The British in India evidently feel that they do
not fight simply for wife and child, goods and chat
tells, life and honor but for the veal of their native
country, which, if deprived of India, would speedily
lose its rank among nations. The English prove
that they equal to the present great emergency
and are worthy champions Of civilization. The King
of Delhi is mere puppet and no one can fancy that
in him lies the germ Of better future for the
tries watered by the Ganges Would it be to the
advantage Of Europe that England should lose Ben
gal? Would Russian stakeholder in Calcutta be
preferable to British Proconsul2 1t is our belief
that the superiority of will be much felt in
the East Indies it has been elsewhere. The
tual success Of the English cannot be doubted and
that success will be the triumph of European civil
cation, which has still many and most important du-
ties to perform in the East .es-+
