REMARKABLE EsCAPE.-As Mr.. NJ Merwin, of
Durham, in this State, was crossing the Susoue-
hannah river, at Oreonto, Otsego county, New
ork, with nearly 300 head of cattle-some of them
heavy fat oxen-about forty feet of the bridge gave
way, on which were nearly sixty head and fell with
tremendous crash distance Of about sixteen feet
Some 80 OF the cattle were so firmly entappled in
the ruins, that it fifteen or twenty minutes be-
fore the first could be exricated; but singular to
relate, only one animal was injured and that one
not so much as to prevent his driving. Mr.. NJ. was
on horseback, and across, that at the noise
OF the crash, the horse sprang, and just saved him
self and rider from going down as the bridge gave
way, at the spot from which they sprang. The in
babitants of the village near by, rushed to the
scene, and were astonished to find so little harm
done. Mr.. M. is indebted to them for their prompt
assistance Hartford Courier.
A MURDERER WHO REFUSED A CHANCE TO Run
VIM. johnson, who murdered Nicholas Altmeyer.
a adeat-mute, last Spring, Second street, near
ater was on trial in the Circuit Court Yesterday
At the adjournment of Court the prisoner was over
looked. He remained in the court room until he
got tired, and then instead of running for dear ie
as m ost men would Lave done, he started to Jail on
his own hook. johnson got nearly there when an
officer espied him, and walked to the prison with
him. When we mention that Johnson's chances are
considered rather desperate his refusal to attempt
to escape will appear more curious.-Louispille
Courier, Oct. 20.

MAGAZINE FOR THE BLTND.-The proposition to
establish magazine for the blind is made by E.

ton for the education Of this unfortunate class
The circular of Mr. W. states that the cos of stand

10 prevent them from coming into to the extent
desired. The establishment of a magazine it is he
heved, would meet this difficulty, and place
wholesome literature within the reach of those who
especially require it. The originator of the scheme
appeals to those interested in the blind to aid the
project by their contributions.

GARDENS ON THE TOP OF HoUsEs.-The New Y ork
Eren'ng Post has been entertaining its readers with
long, elaborate dissertation the propriety of turn
ing the upper stories of dwellings into banging gar
dens. 1t states that as glass roofs are but little
dearer than the other kinds, every upper story
might without much expense, be turned into hot
house, where all the vegetable luxuries of the
son could be produced, without the least assistance
in the way of wedding, pruning thinning out
from the boys of the neighborhood. The idea is
to cover the garret floor with concrete to prevent
water from leaking through to the floor below.
THREE-DAY VISITS STYLE.-All visits to the

departure. The Prince of Wales has rightly OBJ.
served this practice, in his tour through the United
States never stopping more than three days in any
place, unless Sunday interviewed. Many families
would rejoice to have this fashion introduced into
the United States.

VIcissTUDEs OF ROME AND HER PoPEs.-The Papacy
IS not so near its end many hope and expect. 1t
has survived many a tug as hard as the present.
In 1877 the combined German and Spanish armies
OF Charles V. stormed and sacked Rome, enacting
in its streets the most diabocal crueties burning
torturing, robbing, ravishing, and destroying for
ten days. Some six thousand of the inhabitants
perished, 10000, 600 crowns Of plunder were col
lected, and Pope Clement VII. paid 400 600 ducats
for his own ransom. Luther thought that the end
OF Rome had come. But it has survived and recov-
cred. Sixty years ago it was in the hands of Ma
poleon, who seemed to hesitate whether to crush it
or not. In 1920, 1881, and 1913 it was prey to
revolution, Garibaldi himself, at the last date, ex-
pelling the Pope, who escaped in the disguise of a
footman on a coach box. A republican government
was then established, but another year saw him
back again, and now he looks for support from the
despotisms which would themselves tremble at his
fall. His temporal dominion may be even now at
end; but that dominion is really his weakness,
and not his strength, and when he is well rid of it
he will reign as head of the Roman Catholics with
more substantial influence than for long time past

- A SPLURGING DEFINITION OF sSPLURGE"-The
Rev. DR.. Cox has given the following, which, il
strikes US, well defines the term by illustrations:
The word splurge' is coinage probably not
yet in any dictionary; yet meaning, as if great
rock OF the mountain, disintegrated from its sum
ianched, into sylvan lake at its foot, there max
ing an uproarious splash, boring its momentous
way through the parted and the frightened waves,
and alter dashng the spray in all directions, bury
ing ITSELF In forgotten repose under congenal mud
at the bottom; so gone forever from sight, from
thought, from upper air, and all the ways of men:
t1s tnus meaning-the low aim Of making a considera-
bic sensation at least once in society
