whoro Are You aoingg

An anecdote is told of Finney, the 'reviv-
alist, and a canalman, to the following eff
feet:
He was "holding forth" in Rochester, and
in walking along the canal one day, came
across a boatman who was swearing furious
ly. Marching up, he confronted him, and
rather abruptly asked;
Sir, do you know where you are gOing2
The u1suspecting man innocently replied
that he was going up the canal on the boat
" Johnny Sands"
No, sir. you are not" continued Finney.
" You are going to he'll, faster than canal
boat can carry you"
The boatman looked at him with astonish-
ment for moment, and then returned the
question:
Sir, do you know where you are going p
Il expect to go to heaven"
"No, sirl you are going right into the
canal p
And, suiting the action to the word he
took Finnsy in his arms and tossed him into
the murky waters where he would have
drowned, had not the boatmau relented aud
fshed him out.

Curious Remains.

Az interesting discovery has recently been
made at Pompeii. In one of the rooms of a
house was found a heap of silver and copper
coins, five hundred or more in number, which
has been tied up in bag. At the same time,
and near the same spot, were found two large
shears, and horse-min of the ordinary de-
scriptiou, together with little heap of corn,
the grains though somewhat shrivelled, fully
preserving their shape and but little dimin-
iShed in size.
On the next morning the exertions of the
excavators were rewarded by the discovery
of an oven, the mouth Of which was closed by
a large iron door. On opening the door, there
came to view the entire batch of loaves, such
as they were deposited in the oven seventeen
hundred and eighty-three years ago. They
were eighty-two in number and in all char
acteristics except weight and color, precisely
as they came from the bakers hand. Previ-
Gus to this time, but two loaves had been dis
covered. These loaves are circular, about
nine inches in diameter, rather fat and inden-
ted evidently with the elbow in the center;
but they are slightly raised at the Sides and
divided by deep lines radiating from the cen
ter into eight segments. They are of deep
brown color, and hard, but exceedingly light.
The scoop with which the loaves were placed
in the oven, was also discovered.

THE FUGITIVE FROM DRAFT.


TrrrestieoR the Warden Of TIE Cinqle Ports.
A mist was driving down the Chicago river,
The day was just begun,
And able bodied men were seen to shtyer
In the hot rising sun.

And gazing wistfully on outgoing steamers,

Were al alert that day,
And many man, to an inherent fear born,
Wanted to get away,
Awake all night, they had anticipated
An order telegTuphed
From Washington, and duly circulated,
Forthwith to draft
And now they strolled at sunrise from their sta
tions,
Toward the Court house square,
Each answering each, with sullen salutations,
As they met there.
Down by the lake, all taking up the burden,
Replied the crowded shore,
As if TO summon back the heeting "skcared" ones
Who left the day before.
Him shall no sunshine from the field Of azure,
No drum seat from the wall,
No morning gun from any forts embrazure,
Be able to recall.
For in the night, unseen, he hasteRed toward
The shores Of Canada,
Hated Of man, and designated " coward"
There les him stay.
He passed into Old England's big sheep pasture,
Along the sickly strand;
And as he entered, damper grew and nastier
The sneak-inyiting land.
Meanwhile, recruiting neither paused Dor waited
The sun rose bright o'erhead;
But all the morning papers intimated,
That q mean sneak had fed Chicago Post.

America in the Great Exhibition.

The American Court is lately becoming one
Of the most popular hooks in the building; it
is crowded excessively most of the time, and
the cow-milker, the clOthes-drier, and the pa
per-rag machine, threaten to rival the jewelry
cases in attraction. The clothes drier is an
ingenious and characteristic Yankee-notion
There is fixed standard from which arms ex-
tended, something like the ribs of an invert-
ed umbrella, the cords on which the clothes
hang running from one to another at intervals.
This whole framework is moveable, sliding up
and down the standards, and stopping at any
point desired with very slight exertion Of
strength on the part of the operator, and fold
ing up like an umbrella, to be slowed away
when not in use. It is in constant operation,
with an American representing the clothes to
be dried. When the frame is drawn up to
its full highth" and gyrating rapidly, it exer-
eises a very collective influence on the crowd
so much so that many go away disappointed
from an attempt to see what is going on be-
low it. Those who are fortunate enough to
obtain view Of its operations are satisfied
that the neat little clothes wringer" exhibit
ed there, almost supersedes the necessity for
any other drying apparatus. By turning a
crank, (and it is all the same whether this be
a cambria handkerchief or a codnterpane), is
passed between two gutta percha rollers and
the water so effectually squeezed out that
there is scarcely a peTceptible feeling Of mois-
ture left in it. The Cow-Alilker" is over
whelmed with orders, and the patent has been
sold, it is said for very large sum.-M =

A WRITER in the Boston Post says of lint /;
Every ounce OF lint sent to the army does
mischief. Its only use is to cover up the
blunders of bad surgery. 1t is seldom used
by the best Surgeons here. In the army it is
crowded into wounds by men who know no
other way to stop hemorrage, and there it
remains till it becomes filed with filth and
maggots. 1t retains the discharges till they
putrefy, and produces intolerable stencil.

of Erin's Isle, which is worth repeating:
Some two years ago there was quite strug-
gle between two certain prominent Demo-
Gratis of Weaveryille, as to which should go

Judge M and Squire j, each had
ballots printed with the names of their friends

beaten, and before retiring he consoled him
self by loading his hat with bricks. Next
morning, in good season; acting upon the
principle that a hair Of the dog is good for
the bite" Just as he was calling for the de-
coction, Billy MeBlarney stepped into the
saloon and saluted the Judge, when the fol-
lowing dialogue ensued:
The top o the morning to ye, Judge. And

Good morning, Billy. Yes, the Squire

"And sure; voted the ticket wild yer

But, Billy, my name was last on the list

This was rather puzzler to Billy; he
scratched his head, for an instant then sud
denly exclaimed:
