Irish HILLS.

Samuel Ireland tells of the miracle OF
St. Denis walking from Paris after his
decollation with his head under his arm,
but makes the miracle still greater by his
mode of telling the story. He says
'During his peregrination, he carried has
head under his arm with much GOODNESS
and deliberation, and often kissed 1t by
the way"
1t was an IrishmGn who asked Tor the
entrance out of the Boston Music Hall ;
who said that his son was so clever that
he had Just made two chairs and a table
out of his own head, and had plenty of
wood left for another; who told his sweet
heart that lie thought so much of her that
he couldn't sleep for dreaming OF her;
who, having been married at nineteen,
said he would marry again SO young,
if he lived to see the age of Methuselah;
and who exclaimed, on seeing a, very
small coffin: 'tBy the st. Dennis O'SligOl
is it possible that that coffin can be in
tended for any living crathcr."
1t has been related that the Emerald
isle has produced a physician who, being
called to examine man who had been
killed by a neighbor, said Oracularly,
''This person was so i'll that if he had not
been murdered he would have died half
an hour befure;" an orator who, be
coming very angry at an Englishman,
cried, 81 will punch my fist through
your impencrablc head and let
the brains out of your empty
skul;n an editor who wrote of the
wrongs of his native isle, ''Ilcr cup
of misery has been for ages overflowing,
and is not yet full" and a discriminating
historian who stated that in the first place
Ireland was divided into three kingdoms,
next into two kingdoms, and finally it
was divided into one.
Sir Richard Steele is reported as having
suggested that the Irish habit of making
bulls was owing to the climate, and be
continued: 81 dare say if an English
manw born in Ireland he would do the
same"
A Scottish professor in the University
of Edinburgh was experimenting among his
pupils with some cOmbustible substances,
and, as he was mixing them, they eXplo-
ded, shattering the phial which he held
into fragments. He held up small piece
of the glass, and said very grayely,
Gentlemen, I.havc made this experiment
often with this very phial, and never
knew it to break in my hands before. "
The following somewhat ambiguous para
graph appeared in an Edinburgh paper:
eve regret to find that the announcement
of the death of Mr.. W is a malicious
fabrication" 1t was the Mayor of a
Portuguese city who once enumerated,
among the marks by which the body of
drowned man might be identified"
marked impediment in his speech" and
John C. Calhoun, in commenting upon
the clause in the Declaration of lndcpend
ence, to the effect that all men are
created equal, remarked that ''only two
men were created, and one of these was a
woman. "-ApplctOR's Journal.

ThE personal appearance Of the two
lady Operators who are now causing
sensation in Wall street, New York, is
thus sketched: Mrs. Jennie 9. Clatlin,
though married eight years, is young
lady of twenty -four years. Her features
are full. and a continuous smile plays
upon her countenance. She is, to all APP
pearance, keen, shrewd, whole-souled,
and firm foe of the ''girl of the period, y
whom she describes as sickly monde
script. She is plainly dressed and speaks
business in every gesture. Mrs Victoria
c. Woodruff is her sister. She is some
five years older than Mrs. Ciallin, and has
a keen, bright eye. She is of sanguine,
nervous temperament, and serious finan-
cial shock would not tel on her constitu-
ton. She states that since she has been
in the business in New York-two or
three years although their operations
were conducted solely through agents in
the street. they have made about $780,

WHAT PRINCE ARTHUR SAW IN
GEN, SPEyNER,S BUREAU.

Washington Correspondence New York Herald .
The good-natured Treasurer, recalling
his own boyhood, thought the young
Prince would like TO see some of the young
ladies about as well as the vaults, and 50
he conducted him through some of the
rooms in which there is nothing but girls.
Now, the girls in Spinner's bureau arc the
handsomest in the Treasury building.
Beauty is always one of the points
which decides whether they shall
or shall not beGTnployed.
An ungainly, ill-fayorcd woman isas oh
noxious to Spinner as a Wall street gold
gambler. TIC Treasurer has an idea that
a handsome woman can do her work bet
ter than q hOmcly one. is was to have
been expected, the Prince was fairly daz-
lied when he entered the room in which
the ladies arc. Seeing so many Of them
made him blush Slightly, but Spinner
came TO his aid, and assured him that
they were perfectly harmless andnO gush-
ing demonstration need be anticipated.
As he passed through the corridors from
room TO room such of the employees q:
were there stopped 70 gaze at hin.
Among them were q large number OF
young ladies, who, being away from
their Offices, were free from restraint.
They commented variOusly upon thu
appearance Of the Prince. Some said
he was a dear, handsome fellow, and
looked lust like q Prince; others thought
he was not as good looking as some OF
the clerks, or as some of their Congress
sional friends. Some of the more i'm
pressiYe wanted TO kiss him for hii
mother. One girl wished she had lock
Of his hair. Another hoped he woulC
drop his pocket handkerchief, so she
might pick it up and keep it as remem
branCc 4 brunette was curious to know
if he had sweetheart, and pictured L
her companions the kind Of a woman sht
thought he would marry.
After doing the Treasury Department
The Prince returned TO the residence o
the British Minister, where he lunche'
and tried to recall the beautiful faces h
had seen in Spinner's bureau.

A Far MEN's Convention was held last
Friday at Lewiston, Maine SAT an
early hour, says the Journal, s'lnen i'm

running over the vehicles sides, fitted
through the streets, while here and there
a 300-pounder focus of all eyes toddled
heftily along followed by the smiles of
an admiring crowd of lean and hungry
miserables Miss Hardy, the Maine
giantess, gave reception at noon; "she
was invited to rise, and the two latest
men in the convention arose and stood at
her side, while the dwarfs were next in
