A Mr.. johnson, of Manchester. Eng
land, having committed the unpardona.
BILE offence against the Trades Unions of
adapting machinery to the manufacture
of bricks, is thus paying the penalty of
his crime:
ellis life has been in dahger for
twelve months; his property has been
fired; his servants have left him; his
friends dare not come to his house; his
coachman dare not drive him home.
Mr.. Johnson's sleeping place is pro-
found secret. On the one night when he
ventured to attempt to remain in his
own house in n suburban quarter, n
violent explosion of gun-powder took
place in his drawing room, and only
accident prevented the whole honsc from
being blown to aton,s.'
And yet this man has been constant
in his efforts to elevate the condition Of
the workman, socially, politically and
morally.

PRAYING FOR RAMA French paper
tells the following story:
You know the old saying among
farmers, Plenty of rain in May is better
thnu great cold in December Now this
year, if December was cold, May has
been almost destitute of rain, and from
all parts of the country, desoluted 10y the
persistent drought, the inhabitants are
entrenting heaven to let loose its cnta-
racts. The villagers of Janvier recently
assembled in great force to hold a mass
and invoke the divine assistance. The
ceremony was very imposing. When it
was over, while the cure was laying aside
his sacerdotal vestments, the heavens
were suddenly overcast. The sexton
rushed i'll to him with joyful air aud
exclaimed: Your prayers are quickly
heard; it is going to rain i'll torrents. ,
please God, nol,' replied the naivc
pastor, looking with alarm through the
window, Il have forgotten my umbrcl-

y strange story comes from Lisbon.
NJ. Nicra dc Castro, formerly Deputy,
and an author Of some note. had stran-
gled his wife. He found that she was
carrying on an underhand correspond
ence with NJ. Maria de Garrett, who was
considered one of his most intimate
friends. and in the end she confessed her
actual guilt. The husband then half
smothercd her with chIoroforn, after
which he completed her death by s,ran-
gniation. De Garrett, to whom lie sitter
wards sent Il challenge for duel EoM-
rance. declined to fight with him, but
intmated that he was willing to lose his
wife as an expiation for the injury in
flictcd, adding that he should pass il Ger
tain spot at such an hour. The injured
man, however, did not carry his revenge
further, but went to the Prefecture of
Police and constituted himself prisoner.
The other, it was rumored. had entered
a Trappist monastery. The murdered
lady was only nineteen.

An exchange says that "tle Treasury
Department is now trying d plan that is
expected to render counterfeiting the
currency almost impossible. It consists
OF covering the face Of the bank bill with
printing so finely executed that counter
feiters cannot afford to copy it. In one
case, one word is repeated 30, 900 times -
Tho plan is admirable-if we want to
know that our bill is genuine, we have
only to count the number of duplication
OF this ''word," and refuse the bill unless
there are just 1900.

move his appointec, of course without
avail. Now it appears why Governor
