a correspondent OF The Coprriey. de
Flats UnLs tells a characteristic story OF
Count Bismarck. It appears that lhe
Count is not fond OF ices and coniec-
tionery, but that he has healthy Ger
man appetite for beer. on The evening
Of the. bell at the Pruzsian embassy he
called for his favOrite beverage. 81. de
Guilty took him into the garden and
showed him keg EnUgiy placed under
a tent. Bismarck drank, lit cigar
and sat down. Whenever thirsty
promenaders approached the tent he
cOurteously filled their mugs, not neg
lscting his own. In this useful and in
nOcent occupation he spent the greater
part Of the evening.
An infidel on his death bed felt him
self adTift in the terrible surges of doubt
and uncertainty. Some OF his friends
urged him to hold on to the end. ~
have no objections TO holding on was
the poor mans answer; "bnt will you
tell me what 1 am to hold by ?"
There is the fatal want. Infidelity
furnishes neither anchor nor rope TO
the sinking soul. 1t gives nothing to
hold on by.
In English papers we find advertise
ments of excursions to the Paris Ex-
position, arranged especially for me-
chanics,-not for pleasure but for BUSH
ness; in fact, to learn their own bust
ness. These excursions Tnestly

France is dangerously outstripping
England in her fayoTite field OF mechan-
ISM, anu t0dL l0e STeht fdlT proves IT.
We lind from statistics that the French
shops are now supplying Great Britain
with locomotives by hundreds every
year, and so on with various wrought
products, from engines down to pins.

About fortnight ago two wires on
the New York Central began to act
very nureasonably. At 10 o'clock in
the morning they would "strike work {"
and resume at four In the afternoon. A
careful examination of the line pro-
duced no result. The superintendent
himself looked into the matter. and saw
nothing. 1t WAS q complete puzzle.
An old Albany operator, however,
was more successful. About sixty
miles west OF that city he found a
point where the wires passed over the
roof OF a building, almost touching il.
As the sun rose the wires fell, and at II
o'clock they lay snugly together on the
tin roof. As the sun fell, they cooled
and rose, and by o'clock were in their
proper positions. or course, the trou-
BILE was no sooner explained than recti-
lied.
They have found either coal. bed or
a "mure's nest" in Frederick county,
Maryland. As seems inevitable in all
cases of real or pretended discovery Of
mineral wealth, a local monomania is
the immediate result, and every man
