A tall, lank, Jerusalem sort Of fellow,
pretty we'll Under the influence Of Mr.. Alco-
hol, was observed swinging 10 lamp post
on Fourth street last night. He was talking
pretty loudly 10 the aforesaid post, when q

"Come, sir, you are making too much

"Noise who's that said noise r asked !he

exposed his silver numbers 10 full Wow.
"Youi and who in the d-l are you7 It
taih't me that's a making Of the noise. No,

"You are tight as brRa ina new wall"
said the officer, amused at the good nature of
the individual.
"Me tight? Who said I am tight? No,

his mid, to the paLic-stricken individual. In
the course Of half an hour he had the pleas.

boarding house, and pointing out to him the

~ Scientific authorities are beginning 10
doubt the permnnence of suspension brid-
ges. The recent fall oftwo in Canada, one
at the Montmorencie Falls and the other Al
the Desjardins Canal, has led to investiga-
tions, which indicate that the ineessant vibra-
tory movements to which the iron sappoTyn
are subjected, together with the action Of
the elements, cause granulaiion and loss
of tenucity in the iron wire which must in
the end destroy its supporting power. II
the results are reliable, the fall OF any sus-
pension bridge is only a question of time
1t is to be hoped that the ablest scientific
minds will probe the matter thoroughly

THE GOOD WORK GOES BRAvELY os.-Ef-
fective measures are in progress in Brooklyn,
New York, for thorough reorganization Of
the Whig party. 1t is understood thaS an
election for General Committee will soon
be held, and clubs formed in every ward and
town in the country. 1t is intended that a
Whg ticket alone will be run against the
Democrats next spring. There is much in
the condition of the country to favor such
movement, md to give vitality to the glorious
old party.

tbs GREAT MoouL.-The aged King Of
Delhi, feeble tool in the hands Of the late
occupants of Delhi, was captive in the
hands of his English conquerors, at the latest
advices. The report that his two sons "hnd
been shot" appears correet-with the addi-
ton that they had fallen in battle, md not
rs the words might seem to imply by the
vengeance Of the British. This Sovereign,
who is between eighty and ninety yenrs old.
could scarcely bnve been an active promoter
of the late revolt. Mnhomet Surnjooden
Shah Gagee succeeded his father, as KiEg
| of Delhi, in 1887, and hns been retained, BY
the East India Company, ms a King in name
only, for the last twenty years. A pensioned
decendent OF the last race Of Mahommednn
Kings of Delhi, his Court presented oil the
worst evils of Eastern depravity and luxury.
In his own Palace, at least he was allowed
to retain all power of life and death, aud
was cruel rs well rs luxurious. The stipend
annually granted to "His Majesty "was twelve
and a half .akhs Of rupees, equal to S625, 900.
The East India Company committed great
mistake in allowing such ample mems, after
they had virtually annihiated the regal au-
thority. 1t would not. surprise rs 10 fnd
them providing for the gradual diminution
and final extinction Of all the large alowan-
ces which they have hitherto made 10 the
deposed Native Princes. tF.

"SUNDAY CoRN."--An American infdel
boasting in a published letter that he had
raised two acres of "Sunday Corn" which
he intends to devote to the purchase of inf
del books adds: Gall the work done on it
was on Sunday, and it will yield some seven
ty bushels to the acre, and don't see but
that Nature or Providence has smiled upon
my Sunday work, however the priests or the
Bible may say that work done on that day
never prospers. My corn tells another story"
To this the editor of an agricultural paper
replies: "If the author of this shallow non.
sense had read the Bible half as much as he
has the work Of its opponents, he would
have known that the great Ruler of the Uni
verse does not always square up his accounts
with mankind In the month of October"
