harmless. A1peT coming W NcW 1oihi
the journalist, dining with the editor OF
the Tribune, inquired his opinion OF
Seward. Seward has brains enough"
was the reply, 'to govern this country. |
No man has q clearer or better head;
but the trouble with Seward is that he |
is an internal scoundrel."
Sensational paragraphs about the
Great Exhibition of 1867 are beginning |
to creep into the papers, and we are told
that one of the novelties which will at
tract the most attention is new model
guillotine, invented by compatriot OF
Count Bismark. The guillotine is capa- |
BILE of cutting off six heads per minute,
and eight ifproperly handled. The ma
chine is worked by steam, and the knife,
instead of falling straight, cuts with
rotary movement. This reminds one OF
poor Louis XyTs telling DR.. Guillotin
that the Llade should be curved. The
new guillOtine can be taken to pieces
and put together again in ten minutes;
the engine works the wheels, and the
machine can steam to the place of exc
cution and take the body up to the
cemetery afterwards. " sa ," ~
In Bridgeport, Connecticut, a few
days since, young lady called into thei
store of a young gentleman, for the
purpose of being escorted up street by
him. Of course the young man was all
excited and confused, especially as he
was at that moment just going to the
Revenue office for license. He picked
up his hat and hastily started for the
door, remarking to the lady as follows:
Just wait few moments, until go to
the Revenue office for license, will
not be gone long" The lady called
him back, and astonished him by say
ing, "Hold on! l am not ready for
license yet. Wait few days" Ihe
young man is still waiting, but the
probability is, he will not have to "re-
main in doubt" much longer.
Switzerland has long enjoyed the
honor of supplying Europe with contec-
TONERS. Even now, and especially in
the departments of France, many con-
dictionary establishments, which are
thoroughly national, claim q Helvetic
origin, and yet the confection manutac-
ture of Marseilles exports sweetmeats to
Egypt, Turkey, and the French West
| Indies. Its progress has been constant
and rapid; towards the close of the
first empire there were at Marseilles only
four of these establishments; tnrning
out annually confectionery to the
value of 81 ,0O0f In 1880, that city reck-
oned 36 manufactures of sirops, bon
bons, and jam, the produce of which
was estimated at 500,0O0f. In 1910 the
number of confcctioners was 80; i'll 1856,
6S, and in the present year it is ll6.
This branch of industry has assumed
such an Importance that its products
are valued at $500, ,000f.-Galigndni.
On Saturday last, Miss Sarah Van
Sickle, aged seventeen years, only
daughter of Isaac Van Sickle, of Fayette
county, met with most distressing
accident, which resulted in her death.
She had started on horseback from her
fathers residence, on the National road,
a few miles east of Uniontown, to pay
visit to some relatives in Somertield.
She was accompanied by young man
named Seaton, and the two were riding
quietly along, when suddenly and from
some unknown cause, her horse became
frightened, and commenced kicking
violently, throwing her from the saddle,
her foot sticking in the stirrup. In this
manner she was dragged about four
hundred yards, and finally came i'll con-
tact with fence stake and became dis
engaged. She was carried to q house
near by, and medical aid summoned.
She fingered in great agony for nearly
three hours, when death came to her re-
lief. Her deeply afflicted parents and
two of her brothers arrived few mo-
ments after she had breathed her last.
The London correspondent of the
Chicago Journal refers to the article
that appeared in the Swiss paper, and
remarks that it is significant fact a
translation has never appeared i'll an
English paper. We quote: Il have
been Informed, however, that it en-
bodied not only serious but disgusting
charges against the Queen, whom it
even accused of an improper connection
with her latest son-in-law, Prince
Christian; attributing to this fact her
determination, in spite of the opposi-
ton of her own family and of the pub
lie generally, to keep him in England,
even at the sacrifice of her own daugh-
ter's honor and happiness. OF course
no one for q moment believes in the
double crime imputed to the Queen, but
think there is scarcely man in En-
gland who does not believe her capable
of almost anything short of that. Ihope
that the British Minister at Wash
ington will not ask for a suppression of
the Journal for publishing what now
have written"
