MICE Power PAYS THE BEsT.-Some
time ago we heard Of gentleman in
Kirkaldy, Scotland, who taained a couple
of mice to spin cotton. The work is so
constructed that the common mouse is
enabled to make atonement to society for
past offences, by twisting Irvine, and reel
ing from 100 to 1875 threads per day.
To complete this, the little pedestrian has
to run 10 l-2 miles. A half penny
worth of oatmeal, at Is. Sd. per week,
serves enc of these treadwheei culprits
for the long period of five weeks. In
that time it makes Ito threads per day.
At this rate mouse earns Is. Sd. per
annum. Take off sd. for food, and Is.
fer machinery, there will rise Is. clear for
every mouse, per annum.

SWIFT AND THE TAILOR.

A tailor in Dublin, near the residence
Of the Dean, took il into his head that be
was specially and divinely inspired to in
terpret the prophecies, and especially The
book of Revelation. Quitting the shop
board, he turned out preacher, or rath-
er prophet, until his customers had left
his shop, and his family were likely to
famish.
His monomania was well known to
Dean Swift, who benevolendy watched
for some convenient opportunity to turn
the current of his thoughts. One night
the tailor, as he fancied, got special rev.
elation to 90 and convert Dean Swift !;
and the next morning took up the line OF
march to the deanery. The Dean, whose
study was furnished with a glass door,
saw the tailor approach and instantly sur
missed the nature of his errand. Throw,
ing himself into an attitude of solemnity
and thoughtfulness, with the bible open
before him and his eyes fixed on the tenth
chapter of Revelation, he awaited his ap-
proacb.
The door opened, and the tailor an
nOunced in an unearthly voice the mes
sage -" Dean Swift, l am sent by the
Almighty to announce to you"
"Come in, my friend" said the Dean,
1 am in great trouble, and no doubt the
Lord has sent you to help me out of my
difficulty"
This unexpected welcome inspired the
tailor, strengthened greatly his assurance
in his own prophetic character, and dis
posed him to listen to the disclosure.
"My friend" said the Dean, " have
just been reading the tenth chapter Of
Revelation, and am greatly distressed at
difficulty have met with; and you are
the very man sent to help me out. Here
is an account of an angel that came down
from heaven, who was so large that he
PLACED one foot on the sea and the other
on the earth, and lifted up his hands to
heaven. Now my knowledge of mathe-
matics," continued the Dean, "has en-
abled me to calculate exactly the size and
form of the angel; but am in great diff
ficulty, for l wish to ascertain how much
cloth il will take to make him pair of
breeches, and as that is exactly in your
line of business, have not the least doubt
the Lord has sent you to show me-"
This exposition came like an electric
shock to the poor tailor; he rushed from
the house, ran to his shop and sudden
revulsion of thought and feeling came
over him. Making breeches was exactly
in bis line of business. He returned to
his occupation, thoroughly cured of his
prophetic revelations by the wit of the
Dean.

rnr srnRM AT sANpusKY.

From the sandusky Register, Extra Of
this morning, Issued ct Eve o'clock, We
gather the following particulars Of the
damage done at that place by the terrible
storm Of last night. The cars which left
this city last evening were notable TO reach
ssndusky, on account of the damage to the
Railroad track at that point. Passengers
for Cleveland this morning had to be con-
veyed by Omnibusses to the train, which
started from this side of the piling. The
Register says:
We have been visited during the last
twelve hours by one Of the most severe
and damaging storms of wind, with rain,
which ever swept over our Bay and city.
The wind, which for some hours had been
blovin0 from the northeast, causing the
water in the Bay TO rise very high, began q
little after noon yesterday to blow per-
feet gale. The water has risen until our
wharves are all flooded by the waves, car
rying off sll sorts Of property which was
left upon them.
Many of the more unsubstantial Of the
docks are entirely destroyed, together with
the temporary buildings which we're upon
them; vessels have broken from their
mornings and are pounding themselves to
pieces; the Railroad tracks along Railroad
street are completely torn up and destroyed
in many places; the cellars along Water
street are from two to three feet deep in
water. and there is general inundation
of everything near the water edge.
At this Writing-twelve, midnight-the
storm is still raging with undated fury.
Nothing can yet be told as to the damage
done: but il is known to be considerable
The damage to the C. & 7. Railroad track
and road-bed is reported as being very
great. Great anxiety is felt for the ship
ping in the lake.
The Register establishment has come in
for its share Of the disaster. The water
became so high before the first side Of the
paper was worked, that it extinguished the
FIRE in the furnace, and the press refusing
TO 70 without steam, we were obliged to
suspend operations in the press room.
The compositors are in the fourth story,
and are able to work yet, though they are
a little damp up there. The water now
stands several feet-some two or three
in the engine room, and paper this morn
ing is entirely out Of the question.
We print few slips upon hand-press
to let our readers know that there is
enough saved from the inundation, to war
rant US in promising our regular issues
sesin, soon as the engineer can get mp
steam,
