Occurs in Holmes new novel, in the
Atlantic Monthly: 1.-THE old clock that
Marmaduke Storr made in London more
than hundred years ago was clicking
the steady pulse beats of its second
century. The featured moon on its dial
had lifted one eye, rs if to watch the
child, as it watched so many generations
of children, while the swinging pcndu-
lum licked them along into youth, ma
turity, gray hairs, Misunderstanding
through the prayer at the funeral
ticking without grief through all the
still or noisy woe of NOTWITHSTANDING
without joy when the smiles and gaiety
of comfortcd heirs had come back

That Remarkable IsumOrisf,

Mr.. AT. Burnett, acknowledged as the
greatest living delineator of character,
the man who can laugh on one side of
his face an 1 cry on the other, will favor
the Wheeling public with two of his
iovial entertainments, at Washington
Hall, on Friday and Saturday evenings,
Dec. 2Sth and Goth. The facial express
sion OF this distinguished ya"oSi apl,o,
is truly wonderful, and Mr.. Burnett is
doubtless the only living man who can
mantle one half his cOuntenance with
the appearance of woe, and at the same
time show us broad laugh depicted
upon the other. In his rapidity OF
change of dress and character he with
out an equal in the world. He cannot
fail to please all who possess either a
sense of the ludicrous or touch OF SEN
timent. He will be assisted by the pop
/ ular recitationist and comedienne, Miss
Helen Nash.

a Smart Fellow i'm London

Has discovered way to enable ladies'
to wear ear rings without having their
ears pierced. The fastening is managed
thus: The rosette in front of the ear
ring top is the head OF a screw, which,
by being partly withdrawn, allows the
wires to separate, and, on being screwed
back, when adjusted, presses the wires
on the lobe of the ear; the wires are so
constructed that they do not uncom-
fortably press the ear; in fact, the fas'
tening. instead of entering the flesh
clasps it. This ingenious invention will
recommend itself to those who are pref
udiced against ear piercing, if they are
not fearful that the ear ring will be nm
safe thus worn.

A Paris Correspondent

n 4 ufIs SOrEcsPonoe1s
OF one of the London journals stir
up a question long mooted In regard TO
the effect of hard brain labor on lOngev-
ity. He notices that most of the tai
ented men of France reach a mature
age:
Look, for instance, at some OF the
men of the Academic Franchise: NJ.
Viennet, although 80 years of age, is
vet in the full enjoyment of his intel
lectual faculties. NJ. de Segur, at sc, is
rs alive to all that is going forward as
he was 80 years ago; de Pongerville, IS,
completed the other day the revision of
his fine translation of "Lucretia," the
fourth edition of which has just ap-
peared; Lebrun, at 81, is as hale as ever;
yillemain, the father of the Academy,
whose election took place in 1921, is 76;
every now and then we hear of his be-
ing seriously i'll, but for all that, he has
not the remotest idea of either
vacating his fautenil or of giving
up ihis functions of perpetual secre-
tary, which he fulfils with the most as.
siduous punctuality. Lamartine is rs,
yet his step is elastic, and he holds him
self as upright as when he saved the
country from red republicanism in 1s4s.
Flourens, 75, has been ill for ten years,
yet attends regularly. Count Chas. de
Montalembert, and Ponsard, the popular
poet-although both ill-are still in the
full possession of their brilliant facui-
ties. NJ. Guizot, II, and NJ. Theirs, GO,
still represent the July monarchy with
all their wonted vigor, and each of these
veteran Orleanists statesmen enjoy ro-
bust health. Berger, ~, the staunch
legitimist, is as bright and active as any
man of half his age. Victor Cousin, the
delightful biographer of the celebrated
women of Louis XlV.'s time, although
suffering from chest disease, preserves
his heal h by an annual visit to Cannes
during the winter. The Duke de
Broglie, 81, son-in. law of Madame de
stael, is still Us polished and strong as
though he were made of steel.

In his article on Walking" Prof.
Smyth has the following somewhat fam
ciful speculaiions: THE tradesman in
walking give signs of folding cloth,
measuring tape, and taking down bun
dies. The ponderous arm and heavy
fall of his hand betray the blacksmith;
and the quick, nervous grasp with
which she adjusts her dress, gives un-
mistakable signs of factory operative.
Travellers who visit the field of Water

with wonderful accuracy he is able to
designate the visitors nationality by
simply inspecting his handwriting.
Mach more easily can the profession or
nation be detected by the gait. The
grave Spaniard, the phlegmatic
Dutchman, the vivacious and san
guine Frenchman, the reserved
and formal Briton, the in
quisitfve, impetuous, and self
confident American, each betrays the
national gait in his style of walking.

A Logograph

Is kind of charade, in which one
word is made to undergo several trans
formations and to be significant of sew
eral things by addition, subtraction, or
substitution of letters. The following
on the word "cod," by Lord Macaulay,
is good example of the loSograph:
"Cut of my head. how singular act;
Cut off my tail, plural appear:
Cut of nv head and tail-most curious fact,
Although my middle's left, there's nothing
there;
What is my head cut off sounding sea!
What is my tail cut OH flowing river!

Parent of softest sounds though mute forever.

yIi,eric. OF n Baldhead.

One who knows, sends the following
experiences to the Cincinnati Times, as
a warning to young men not to let the
BARRIERS manipulate the hair too much,
and advising them to marry before
shining pate" is seen. After explain
ing the many and oft-repeated efforts
made to cover up the bald spot, he was
finally compelled to wear wig, which
he was always opposed to for personal
reasons: "a wig wearer stands in con-
slant dread of losing off his wig in the
presence of others. No one would think
of pulling of my wig Intentionally. In
fact, have deliberately resolved that
whoever does it dics-cither on the spot
or at some subsequent period. Yet there
are accidents, such as the playfulneSs of
friend who is ignorant that you wear
n wig. THE more natural 1t Is, the
more danger there is of its being pulled
off in that way.l One icy Sabbath in
January, meeting crowd coming from
church, my feet slid from beneath me,
and, massa, was on the cold, cold
ground. My hat flew off-also my wig.
The air was keen and piercing upon my
bald and shining pate, but felt the
hot blood mount to the very top Of 1t
as l saw a smile run along that long
line of church-going faces. A small
boy handed me my wig with a grin,
saying, ~ say, Mister, you've lost your
head" 1 could have Heroded the boy
with fiendish satisfaction. l am bach
elor, yet fond of the sex, and DESTROYS
of producing good impression-hence
/ studiously conceal the fact that wear
another gentleman's hair. / once court
ed a widow who had mischievous
boy. She evidently favored me until
one day the little rascal climbed up the
back of the sofa on which was sitting
in n somewhat tender way with his
mother, and pulled my wig off. The
widow tainted at the apparition pre-
sented, and / rushed frantically from
the house. Another time was seated
at a card table with some ladies. My
partner was a charming girl whom l
( fondly believed was in love with me.
We were playing whist, which never
fails to excite ME greatly, particularly
if my partner makes n wrong play.
As the game progressed noticed all
eyes upon me, some with wonder
and Others with Unsurpassed merri-
ment. cast a glance into a mirror
opposite, and was Mortified to perceive
that in the excitement and abstraction
of the game had pushed my wig back
until nearly the whole of my bald crown
was revealed. Ny partner, the "rare
and beautiful Maiden" has looked
coldly upon me ever since, except when
l have caught her laughing in her
sleeve, and then know she is recalling
the ridiculous figure cut ut the card
table. I could fill a volume with the
story of my miseries and annoyanoes,
but / think have told you enough to
satisfy you that = very unhappy indi-
vidual is the man with bald head, who
