has faith in his star-believes he

internal machine can battle. As
an illustration of bis confidence
and recklessness of self, a Paris

the barracks of Prince Eugene of
Paris voted 1,121 noes to 1861

A Singular Mania,

Louisville hasamong its notable
characters a man named Charles
Watkins, who has a strange mania
for which name is yet to be in
vented. He will break into a house
at night just for the luxury of
standing by the bedside of per-
son and looking at him or her, as
the case may be, while lying asleep,
He has been known to do this on
several occasions, aud after stand
ing there and gazing for hours,
leave without disturbing anything,
and close the doors carefully af-
ter him.
The Courier Journal says that
"about six months ago ne got him.
self into serious trouble in this
way, being arrested as burglar
and held to answer. He entered
the room of a young lady after
she had retired and gone to sleep.
Taking his favorite position be-
side the bed, he stood gazing at
the beautiful sleeper till perhaps
conscious of the presence near her,
she awoke and was frightened ter
ribly. By the faint light of the
moon as it shone through the
lattice, she saw this stranger
standing still and motionless at
her bedside. She screamed and
tainted, and the inmates of the
house, aroused by the noise, came
rushing in just in time to catch
the intruder. The affair caused
good deal of excitement, and
no little gossip at the time, but
subsequent facts have proved that
the man was harmless, and went
there just to satisfy this singular
longing of his. He has been
caught in several such places since
then, but at no time has he ever
disturbed anything or anybody.
He was presented to the court as
a suspected felon, q charge hardly
justified by the facts in the case,
and held in $500 to be of good be-
havior for twelve months. His
case is a strange one indeed"

who had become sick of seeing
tobacco-spittle on the floors, an
nounced that hereafter any young
men who came in with such stuff
In their mouths were at liberty to

hands, when several boys actual

Put that Rascal Out.

While the congregation were
collected at church on a certain
occasion, an old, dark, hard
featured skin and bone individual,
was seen vending his way up the
aisle and taking his seat near the
pulpit. The officiating minister
was one of that class who detes-
ted written sermons, and as for
prayers, he thought they ought to
be the natural out pourings Of the
heart. After singing was conclud-
ed, they were, as usual, called to
prayer. The genius we have in
troduced did not kneel, but leaned
his head devotionalIy upon his
pew. The minister began by
saying:
"Father of all, in every age by
saint adored--"
"Pope !" said a low, but clear
voice near old hard features.
The minister, after casting an
indignant look in the direction of
the voice, continued:
Whose throne sitteth on ada
mantine hills of paradise"
"Milton, again interrupted the
voice.
The minister's lip quivered for
a moment but recovering himself,
he began:
I'VE thank Thee, most gracious
Father, that we are permitted
once more to assemble in Thy
name while others, equally meri-
torious but less favored, have
been carried beyond that bourne
from which no traveller returns"
"Shakespear!" again Interrupt
ted the voice.
This was too much, ''put that
impudent rascal out" shouted the
minister.
''Original!" CALCULATED the voice,

"Jim, You May Have
Her"

Quite late at night, a short time
since, a clergyman in New York
was aroused by a heavy knocking
at the door. In answer to inquiry
"Who's there?" voice answered
"Avast there: is the parson in?'
On teing assured that he was, the
same voice said: 81 want you to
come down and splice a couple. "
On coming down the minister
found that they were genuine sail
ors, and although he was a little
shaky about it, he followed them
to the lower part of the city, and
into a room prepared for the oc-
caSion. He found the bride and
her mother In waiting. In an
swer to the question: "Who is
to be married?" the sailor who had
been spokesman all the way
through, announced himself as
the candidate, and the young
woman as the bride. The parties
stood up, and after prayers had
been said the minister commenced
the service and proceeded so far as
to request the parties to join hands.
To the surprise of all present the
candidate for matrimony declined
to do SO. He looked at his bride
with great deliberation from head
to foot. then turning to his CON-
panion, said, "Jim, / don't want
her; you may have her if you
wish" Jim sprang to the side of
the young woman with alacrity,
shouting, "All rightl" and dthecer-
emony went on to the conclusion.
The party who was half married
remained till the benedictiOn was
pronounced, and then with sigh,
as if he had made a great sacrifice
for his friend, walked out, closed
the door behind him, and the next
was off on voyage.

Two Dogs and one Bone.

That is a curious and instruct.
i've case of George and Oliver Bar.
rett, who lived in Wisconsin,
They were brothers. They both
had wives, and the two families
lived in the same house. OF course
the women quarreled often, and
of course the brothers took the
part each of his own wife. Under
the house was cellar, with an
outside hatchway leading to it, and
about this hatchway there was
trouble between the women. To
put stop to it the brothers con-
structed a board partition in the
hatchway, thus making two en-
frances to the cellar-one for each
family. And then one family
wanted the cellar-Goor kept open
and the other wanted it closed.
To remove this second difficulty
George Barrett made slat-door
for the cellar, so that light and
air could enter with the door shut.
With this compromise Oliver was
not satisfed--at least somebody
wasn't and possibly it was his
wife. Indeed, it is safe to say
that ten to one it was his wife.
So Oliver gathered his ak one
Sunday and cut away the slat-
door. Just then George came out
of the house with a butcher-knife
in his hand, and the decisive bat
tie of the war was fought. Oliver
struck at George with the ak two
or three times, and George let his
knife into the side of Oliver, who
ran hundred feet or so and fell.
divers fnneral came off in day
ortwo and Georges trial followed
in due time. The plea of insani-
ty was added to that of justifiable
homicide for the benefit of George,
but the jury rejected both one
plea and the other, and as soon
as the judge gets ready to report
we shall know when George is to
be hanged. This story is not
without its moral. 1t teaches that
two brothers whose wives are not
deaf and dumb and blind and par
elyzed In all their limbs should
never attempt to live in the same
house. Look, too, at the Siamese
Twins. They are generally be-
lieved to be own brothers, and
their wives are own sisters, and
yet it is said there have been times
when one house was hardly large
enough to contain even them. In
fact, everything goes to show that
where there are two women in the
family there must also be two
houses or fight.

A Pneumatic Tube Over

From the Boston transcript.

The following extract from a let
ter received by one of ourfriends
describes the operation of pneu-
matte tube between Glasgow and
London. Probably few of our
readers are aware of the existence
of the process by which messages
and packages are almost instan-
taneously transmitted between
these two cities:
81 had occasion to send a teie-
gram the other day, and in few
minutes received reply, which
led me to suppose that a serious
error had been committed by my
agents, involving many thousand
pounds. / Immediately went to
the telegraph Office and asked to
see my message. The clerk said,
we can't show it to you, as we
have sent it to London But /
replied, you must have my origi-
nal paper here; | wish to see
that He again said, mo. we
have not got it; it is in the postoffice
at London what do you means'
l asked. Pray let me see the
paper / left here half an hour ago.
WELL said he, if you must have
it we will have it back in few
minutes, but it is now in London
He rang bell, and in five min
utes or SO produced my message,
rolled up in pasteboard.
at seems that for some months
there has existed pneumatic tel
egraph betwixt Glasgow and
London and the other principal
cities of the kingdom, which con-
sists of an iron tube, into which
the messages are thrown and sent
to their destination. / inquired
if l might see message sent. 'Oh,
yes; come around here He
slipped a number of messages in
to the pasteboard scroll, popped it
into the tube, and made signal.
l put my ear to the tube and
heard a slight rumbling noise for
seventeen seconds, when a bell
rang beside me, indicating that
the scroll had arrived at the gen.
eral postofice, 400 miles of! It
almost took my breath away TO
think of it. If could only go to
Boston with the same relative
speed you might count on my pass
ing an evening every week at l24 !
Beacon street and returning home
to sleep. Who knows but we may
be conveyed in this marvellous
manner before many years?
"Perhaps you have been aware
that there has been a large tube
between the general postoffice in
London and the station in Eustace
SO uare in operation for a number
of years. The mail bags for the
Dorth are all sent by this convey
ance, SO that the postofice receives
letters up to a few minutes before
the train leaves. three miles off.
The transit takes less than two
seconds. Surely this is an age of
wonders.

love that baby-boy and why?
| loved his mother long before
She ceased to sing her lullaby,
To china dolls upon the floor.
Whene'er she threw her playthings by.
l fingered at her side the while;
And waited with jealous eye.
To catch her first approving smile.
And when she bloomed maiden fair
The promise of her budding grace,
l often stroked her golden hair,
And wooed the roses to her face.
And once beneath maple-tree,
When we were dreaming side by side,
Sweet girl, drew her close to me,
And told her she should be my bride.
No whisper from her lips replied,
But in her eyes the answer shone;
She nestled closer to my side,
And pressed her heart against my own.
Twas all we said, what have told,
The while beneath the maple-tree;
And yet volume would not hold
The meaning Of those words to me.
We parted there at even-tide,
To meet as we had met before;
Nor heard the breezes when they sighed
Their raven cry of "Nevermore s'
All fatal winds that bore away
My bark upon the worldly tide >!
I foated mid the fair and gay,
And she became anothers bride.
But now hear across the street
A youthful mothers roundelay;
And echoes in my heart repeat
The ditty of another day.
The shouting of cherub boy
Commingles with the mothers glee;
How time has viEified the toy
She rocked upon her mothers kneel
I breathe no idle wellaway,
Nor longing sigh for others joy;
But while hear that roundelay,
love, love anOther's boy.

perience We once rode with a

on one of the coldest nights in

nigh as stiff as a stake, our teeth
chattering like castanets, she kept
up an animated conversation, ev-
cry now and then excIaiming /:
"Oh, isn't this delightful! Don't
you enjoy it-g' When we ar
rived at our destination, notwith-
standing we were dressed a great
deal warmer than our fair compan-
ion, she had to lift US out of the cut
ter and conduct US to the tropical
atmosphere of the kitchen of a

we were frozen to death, and she
drove the corpse home. 1t must
be that girls are tougher than we

A Disguised Tourist.

A good story comes from the
Mississippi. 1t is of a chap who
was padding to Vicksburg in a
dugout, and had been informed
of certain locality called Rick's
Bend, which is eighteen miles a.
round, and in one place about a
hundred yards across. He was ad-
vised to land at the narrow point
and drag his craft over, but he
passed the spot, going down with
out observing it and padded on
eighteen miles around till he
struck it on the other side.
Landing at once he dragged his
boat across, and went gliding on
down with a light heart till he
came within a few PAGES of the
same spot where he had dragged
across before. Thinking it was a
new cutoff, he went ashore and
tugged his canoe over again.
When he got back to the river a
second time he sauntered around
a little to stretch himself, and soon
discovered an old newspaper, out
of which he had taken his break
fast that morning. 1t was now
about sundown, and as he had
padded thirty-six miles without
any fattering progress, he scut-
tied his dugout with a hatchet,
built a camp, and waited till next
day for a steamboat.
