A Laughabie Accident.

On Saturday night not long since,
a party of Marquette young gentle
men took the steamer City Sa,adnsky,
for Grand Island, prepared with a
small boat, tent, and every, luxury in
.he way of eatables, drinkables and
smokeables expecting to spend a quiet
Sabbath in some lone sequestered spot
among the pictured rocks. Leaving
the steamer at Munsing.. they had a
fine wind directly after them, and went
skimming along the clear blue water,
enjoying their sail so well that they
ran twelve miles before landing; aud
alt the time they were looking forward
to the beauties they should see on
shore, and the pleasant day they ex
pected to spend. At last they sailed
into q beautiful little cove, and having
laid out a sumptuous repast, were sit
ting down to enjoy it,, when Mr.: s.,
the wit of the party,t leaned back with
wide stretched jaws to enjoy tremen-
dous grape, when, snap went his jaw,
having sprung out of joint with his
mouth open to its widest extent. His
wild appearance may be imagined as
he, trying in vain to close his jaw,
looked around upon his friends, now
diving into the good things, and mis-
taking his open mouth, agonized ex--
preston, for some kind of a joke. 1t
was some time before his indistinct
articulations could be understood; the
party meanwhile roaring with laughter
at the appearance of S., when finally
they became aware.of' the truth, their
vision of pleasant day vanished, and
they hastily bundled their traps and
afflicted brother into the boat, took to
their oars, and pulled twelve long
miles back to Munsing S, in the mean
time, sitting in the stern sheets steer
ing the boat, Eith distorted jaws, and
the strong south wind blowing so fresh
ly into his mouth, as to make it ne
ces >ary' to stuff in handkerchief to
keep from being sufocated. Arriving
at Munsing, a doctor was procured,
and With the help of several men, the
unlucky jaw was put in place. 1t can
be imagined whether the long silent S..
talked, when he found his mouth clos
ed again. and what is likely to have
been his first exclamation. Marquette

Am Eccentric Tourist.

THE most singular being 1
ever met WITH said the guide
who accompanied me through
the mountains OF Switzerland,
was an Englishman. He might
have learned, somewhere, that
| had killed many a channels,
and had robbed various eagles
nests above there on the Tyro-
lean mountains. At any rate,
he suddenly engaged me,
through the landlord of the
Victoria Hotel, at Interlaken,
fourteen days; and one morning
with the first rays of the sun,
we proceeded into the noun
talns, without saying a word,
and without his having ans
wered my English morning
salutation. But after an hour
wandering he suddenly stop
ped. Pointing with his AL
pine staff to the snow-crowned
submit of the Silberhorn, and
thence describing a circle as if
he would intimate that the
whole mountain chain was 10
be traversed, he gazed at me
tor a while in silence, and then
pronounced, slowly, only these
two words--'Show eagles 7
He then went on. From this
time not syllable passed his
lips during the entire journey.
For fourteen days we wan :
dered through wind and storm,
snow and ice--searched all the
passes, peaks and glaciers
but not an eagle did we see;
yet I did not hear mortal
word more from the lips of this
man--not a complaint, not an
exclamation Of Joy. When we
returned, fourteen day after
ward, late at evening, to inter-
laken, he silently counted me
out, in fine gold pieces, the
wages agreed upon, nodded his
head, and went into his cham
Der. We never saw each other
again.

The teacher finally reduced the

only after a great struggle on
her part. The conflict inspired
them with such mutual respect

THE NORMAN FACE.

The beauty of the Norman is
a proverb all over the world.
Nor has the universal admira-
ton which has been bestowed
upon it in the slightest degree
exaggerated its lofty and ex-
quisite character. The men,
in their way, are as handsome
as the women. They have the
fine oval face, sedate bright
eyes, and clear complexion of
the old race. You look in
vain for evidence Of their Teu-
tonic descent in these sculptu-
red features the skin and hair a.
lone suggesting a Renaissance
of their Saxon ancestry. The
women are remarkable for the
dignity of their carriage, which
harmonizes strikingly with
their tall and commanding
figures, and the gravity and
reserve of their expressions.
Like the men their faces are
oval, with the slightly aquiline
nose, large, flashing eyes and
curved. lips Their compilations
are peculiarly transparent, the
cheeks mantling over with a
blush, rich in color, but deli
cate in its diffusion. A smile
sits in their eyes, but the most
inquisitive observer cannot de-
tect in their looks or manners
the slightest indication of levi
ty. A sweet seriousness is
their predominant characteris-
tic. 1t is strange enough to
an Englisbman to NEST groups
Of these people, men and wo-
men, reproducing before our
eyes that famous Norman head
with which we are all so fami-
lar. 1t carries us back at once
to the eleventh century. Wher-
ever we turn, we see, as in a
magic glass, William the Con-
queror moving up the streets
and highways.

SELECTIONS.

The readable character of a
paper in general, depends as
much on the Judgment and taste
# the editor in making his Sc
leciions, as upon any other. 1t
requires knowledge Of human
nature to judge what readers
ought to read, and what they
will read, and what, out of the
vast material found in exchang
es should be selected for the i'm
provement of his paper, and the
pleasure and profit Of his read
ers. Some editors have the
great presumption and vanity
to imagine their readers would
rather be confined to the peru
sal Of original articles from
their pens, than be INDUCED
with articles that emanate from
other pens, and have been in
serted in other papers. 1t is
quite possible that their views
would undergo material alter
alton and their pride be some
what mortified, could they pos
ses themselves of the judgment
of their readers. The editor of
a paper must at times perform
the Office of a gfeaner and pick
up a little here and there in
the world of exchanges, to en-
rich his columns with intelli-
gence that will be appreciated,
and to give it the rich variety
Of thought and sentiment,
without which his paper would
be pronounced dull and prosy.
The proper use of the scissors
is a knowledge indispensable to
the editor. What to select,
and how much to use, require
no little Judgment and expert
ence. .4
