Betting on a Sure Thing.

A lake steamer was being repaired and
repainted, near one of the wharves of a
western city. A single narrow plank
served for communication with the shore.
A large quantity of white lead was pro-
vided for the painters, and oae night be-
fore going ashore, two of them whom we
will call Smith and Jones, thought they
would appropriate some of it to their own
use. So they tied strong twine around
their over-alls, at the ankle, and filed in
the space between their trowse-s and over
alls with forty pounds more or less, of
white lead. Going ashore in the dusk of
the evening, and walking clumsily in con.
sequence of the unusual leading, Jones
tumbled overheard into the lake. OF
course he sank like a mill stone. The
alarm was given, and Immediately there
were boats got out, and every preparation
made for the rescue. Meantime, Smith
stood on the shore loudly bewailing:
"Oh dear, dear Jones is drowned
His poor wife and five children-what
acW become of them And Jones is dead!
Oh dear, dear!'
"Wh are you blubbering about p
said a bystander. "Don't you see they
are getting ready to haul him out E? He'i
got to rise three times, you know"
Wh-what's that you sayf" asket
Smith.

times"
"Got to come up three times" repeat

changing his whining tone to one of ex
oited interest," you stamps he don

An Editor as Is an Editor.

Major John Wilcox P. NJ. of Ed
dyville, and editor of the Gazette
there, found himself last Monday out
of paper for his regular issue and the
rail and dirt roads impossible on ac-
count of the flood the day before, SO
that rather than disappoint his read.
ers and fail in his regular publication
he walked to Oskaloosa, ten miles
distant and carried a bundle of paper
home on his back.
But wo will let the Major tell the
story in his own language from his
paper.
"What would sickly, fastidious
yankee editor do? What would
anybody do under the circumstances,
but stand back and say it "couldn't
be did" and issue circulars that no
paper could be published for the
week. But We will tell you what q
western editor did do under similar
circumstances: He rolled up his
sleeves and waded through, and re-
turning tho same day brought on his
back the required amount Of paper,
and though he waded twenty miles
through mud and water, his subscri-
bers are reading the regular issue of
their local paper, and he mono the
worse for tho tramp than he was for
many greater ones while carrying a
knapsack, haversack, canteen, blan-
ket and Springfield musket through
the Cypress swamps and over the
corderoy's OF Dixie"

l New York Coachman
r.lopas with an HeiresS.

From the New York Sun, July 23.
About six months ago, John Cor
son, learning that Mr.. Jackson, OF
Glen Cove, needed q coachman, pre-
sented himself at the gentlemen's
door. John was soon installed. He
was greatly liked by all the family,
but most Of all by one of the daugh-
ters, about twenty-five years of age,
who came to look upon him with an
ardent affection. John, on his side,
had fallen deeply in love with the
young woman, and they soon camo
to a secret understanding. which cul-
minated on Saturday last in their se-
cret marriage in the Episcopal
church of the village. They..return-
ed home and assumed their daily du-
ties az though nothing had happen
ed, until Tuesday last, when they de-
parted with all their personal proper
ty to some region where parents
cannot annoy them. All efforts to
discover them have so far proved fu-
tile. Mrs. John Corson, that is, is
said to be an heiress in her own
right, having inherited large for
tune by the death Of rich relative !;
and as she is beyond the age of pa
ternal interference, her lucky husband
may snap his fingers at the old folks.

A Steam Carriage.

Ii we may believe the reports that
como to us in pretty well authentica-
ted shapes from California, Mr.. Fred
erick Marriott of the San Francisco
Ne,cs Letter, has at length solved
successfully the problem of arial
navigation.
Mr.. Marriott, in addition to editing
and publishing one Of the most racy
journals on the Pacific coast, has
been also studying this subject for
eighteen years, and at last seems to
have perfected q model of q boat, or
what might, perhaps, be more ap-
propriately termed a "hying fish"
which will, when the motive power
(steam) is applied, ascend and move
off in the air in any direction desir-.
cd, and with the speed Of the wind.
We clip from a California ex-
change, the following account Of the
trial trip of the model:
On the occasion of the trial trip,
which took place in . large room Of
the Avitor Works, at Shell Mound
Lake, steam was raised, and the car.
riagc, obeying its propellers, rose sew.
eral feet from the floor, and started
forward at . rapid pace. Persons
having the guys in hand stopped it
at tho end Of the hall, and turning
it around, it sailed back. While yet
the machine remained, as it were,
perfectly dormant, resting upon the
hoor with less than sufficient buoy
cy to raise itself-requiring addition
al aid to relieve it from connection
with earth-the machinery was put
in motion and the propollers COM
menced their revolutions. At once
lie was impaired to the whole body,
and it rose promptly and gracefully
and took its fight into the air under
guidance ~r Iho ruddex, sAus sstsL-
fishing the astounding fact that it
had power and could fly, and giving
proof that the grand problem had
been solved. The carriage mounted
nearly to the roof with . firmness
and steadiness equal to the move
ments of m ocean steamer on smooth
wator. The guests cheered long and
loud, and many fairly danced with
delight at the success.
