The Cleveland Leader, in a recent issue, re-
lates rich depot scene there which we re-
produce:
When the Lake Shore train arrived from
the East last evening thele was an Irishman
on board who was in a great hurry about
bis baggage He hardly waited for the train
to stop before he jumped of, and running to
the baggage car, demanded his trunk He
was told to exercise little patience, when
he jumped over one Of the tables which en-
closes the baggage, and began arrow with the
baggage men. He accused them Of attempting
to steal his baggage, and wanted to fight them
all. He was forced outside of the enclosure,
when depot officer Warren attempted to rea-
son with him. he wOuld't listen to rason,
and threatened to whip Warren. The latter
being unwell and not in good trim for such
an encounter, officer Robinson took the job
off his hands.
For few moments there was pretty live
ly tussel The depot was full of passengers,
and the mix-up was terrible. There was a
confused minging of Robinson. Irishman,
Irshman's trunk, passing bandboxes, carpet
bags and Clark Warren. Irishman's trunk
had Robinson and Irishman both down at
one time, and carpet-bags and bandboxes
crowned the scene. Warren came to the
rescue, pulled trunk off from Robinson, tossed
carpet-bags to Pete. Drone, omnibus agent,
booted the Irishman and stuck his foot through
a bandbox. Irishman rallied, whacIed Rob-
iuson with hand valise, struck Warren with
a hat-bOx, driving his head through it, and
then stumbled headlong over his own trunk
Warren then fell on top of him, and The
belIigerent Irishman, narrowly escaping be-
ing crushed, was secured and taken to the
lookup.

HERE is a bit of English eccentricity
in sufficiently bad taste even for John
Bull. Mr.. Queensly, the Cambridge
sauant, a great admirer of the Greek
poets, has given orders in his will, that
after his death has body shall be dis
aected and has skin taken of and tanned in
such a manner as to convert into a paroh-
ment, on which the Wiad of Homer shall
then be copied, the singular MS. then to

OUR MONITORS AND FIFTEEN-INCH
GUNs.-There was a trial of the Moni-
tor Passaic and her ffteen-inch gun in
the neighbOrhood of New York on Sat
urday 10Th. 1t was found that the Pas
sale could run about nine miles an hour,
which is pretty good rate Of speed for
an invulnerable iron. clad. But the trial
was rather of the great gun than the
vessel, and it was shown that the gun can
be fred inside the turret without pain
full shock, and that by aid of the admi-
rable machinery used, the monstrous
weapon can be handled by four men,
These results are highly important and
satisfactory, going to show decidedly
that our Monitors and ffteen-inch guns
are likely to be masters of the situation.

SAVE THE PAPER.-An exchange calls
the attention of the public to the fact
that wrapping and writing paper has been
cheap, and therefore it has been used
prOfusely and WastefuIly. Let the half
sheet be used when it will answer the
the purpose intended Turn the envel-
opes, and use them a second time. Pick
up the scraps and save them to be made
over. Paper has advanced 80 per cent,
chiefly because the material for making
is scare. Save all such material that
you can If this kind of economy should
be generally practiced, it would not fail
to considerably modify prevailing prices,
and be of immense advantage to the
reading and publishing community.
