Passing through Avenue b a few days ago, our at
teption was attracted TO crowd in front of carpen
ter's shop. The object of interest was poor fellow
who had fallen in fit. From his apron. rule ard
other indications inferred, rightly tina. no belonged
in the SHOP from which, aterward learned, he had
been bor for the benefit of the air. He presented
pitiable sight, and, leaving the spCt the more hastily
because the hearess wittcisms which two or three
brutes in human form were venting at every contor
ton otbe unfortunate carpenter We entered the shop
70 INQUIRE Of one Of his fellow workmen who remained
in it The cause Of the fit. The place seemed to be
coffin factory, rather than an ordinary carpentsts
shop and on every side scores Of those ominous
licking cases for the Enclosure Of human bodies They
were oil Of pine material, cbeapiy made, and a. yet
III colored. We put the intended inquiry, and was
answered by the man as civiy as was consisen. with
his III eirupted coptinusnc at his work OF naiog
together the sides and ends Of coffin. Didn't know
what kind Of ct it was-didn't know the cause
couldn't leave go bis work to find out-ask the boss
That WIS the. substance Of lis reply. We comph-
melted him upon the faithful use which he made OF
his employ rs tne at which he gIihned, and, with
hard lick at nail with his hammer the oiner rejoned
that he worked By the piece. $50 did him, he addd
with hasty gesture with his banner over his shou'
der, toward the sidewalk. "Theres coffin he jes'
done Lucky for him, he'd jest druv the last nail
when he dropped down into tine fix you see hin in aud
all he got 10 do when he comes to agn to take hi
nav for it, If he kicks the bucket this time, it's al

che erfuly a. he said this and only a few moments
had clap. ed when his unfortunate feow-woikman was
brought into the shop ifeless, and laid in the box
which his own hards had made. He tad died Of
apoplexy.
THE NEW PERSIAN MEIoS-Mr. Carpenter Of
Rive Yesterday exhibited 10 The TRIBusf Office ore
Of these new ard valuable contributions TO hortcu-
ture. grown BY C. X. Riker of Stamford, Conn that
measured eighteen inches in length and twenty -four
inches in circumference. These melons are, IN form
and exterior color, like The old-fashoned muskuelsn,
but the flesh is of greenish color, like the flesh Of
the nutmeg variety 1t is said these melons were TO-
toduced into his country two years ago by gentle
mar who happened to notice the very superior favor
of melon served at table in Persia, when he slipped
a few seeds into his vest pocket of which Mr.. Car
tener accidentally obtained some and out OF the pro-
duct made free distribution Of seeds that stock
this year being diffsei through many channels, will
cause rapid spread in the production of one Of the
bes. melons, probably, ever introduced into the
country. The flavor is not only delicious, but the
fruit has quality for keeping better than any melon
now cultivated. which will add 10 ia value 70 the
market gardeners.
