~ The Illustrated Christian
Weekly for July 18th contains a
variety of interesting matter, a
mong which are the following il.
lustrated articles: Egyptian Nile
Boats; Lake George; Life in the
Coal Mines; The Tree Chapel Of
Alonville.
The paper enters, with this
number, upon the second quarter
of It's existence, and the publish
ers, in order that they may better
introduce it to their friends, offer
to send it 10 any neac subscriber,
from tie present date to the first Of
January, for Serentytce cents ;
a rate which, it is believed, ren-
ders it the cheapest illustrated
paper in the country. The paper
is enriched by articles from Drs.
Adams, Skinner, Schaff, Buding.
ton, Cuyler, and Rankin, Profes-
sor Baird, ]. S. c. Abbott, DR..
Hall, and others. Darling, Hart,
Clifford, Rossiter, and Chapman
have contributed to the art de-
partment.
While the paper has never lost
sight of its Christian aim, it has
illustrated the breadth Of the
Christian religion by the range of
its topics.

InTrouble,

A young husband in Balti-
more is in a nice pickle. From
some cause he concluded that
his wife did not love him as she
should, and he determined to
test the element. Therefore he
wrote a note, telling her that he
was agoing to drown himself in
the canal, and that before she
read the contents his spirit
would be lowering over her, OBJ
serving how she took the death.
The would-be suicide entrusted
the note to- small boy who mis-
took the direction and carried it
to the next door neighbor Of his
wife. Not liking to commune
cate the dreadful intelligence to
the unlucky woman, the lady
handed the note to an officer,
with the instructions, if posi-
bic to prevent the rash act
The officer hurried off, and sure
enough found him on the bank
of the canal. Rushing up, the
officer seized the unlucky hus-
band and marched him off to
the station house, notwithstan-
ding his protestations that he
did not intend to commit sui
eide, etc. After the incarcera-
ton Of the husband, the note
was handed to the wife with
the information that he had been
saved. After upbraiding the
officer tfHrnot ''letting the darned
fool drown himself" the wife
made a charge of lunacy against
him, and he barely escaped be-
ing placed in the asylum.

Let Me Turn Over,

| was a passenger on a steam
er from Panama to San5. Fran
cisco, when the rush of traveI
on that line was immense. We
were badly crowded, and there
was no room for chairs or tables.
yet we were bound to have oul
game of cold sledge." J" A min
lister, smitten with the lust fol
gold, had deserted his flock, and
occupied a sleeping place on the
cabin floor. Being a large, cor
pulent man, and finding him q
sound siecner, four of us squat
ted around him, and commenced
10 play on his broad stomach,
scoring the points of the game
on his black vest. We played
several hours undisturbed, ex-
cept by an occasional snore of
uncommon force. I had won
considerable, and one of my
opponents, Jim Doyle by name,
becoming excited at my turning
up "Jack," brought down his
fist on the lower part Of the par
sons stomach with great force.
The pious old gentleman was
awakened thereby, and looked
up somewhat surprised; but see
ing the state of the case, qui-
etly exclaimed: "Go on with
your game, boys; but if you are
going to pound me in that man.
ner, you had better let me turn
.oyer!'

Extraordinary Wager.

A London paper says wager
once came off, the terms of which
were as follows: Il will bet any
man el00 that he cannot make a
million strokes with n pen and ink
within a month" They were moi
to be mere dots and scratches, but
fair down strokes, such as form
the child first lesson in writing.
A gentleman accepted the chal-
lenge. The month allowed was
the lunar month, of only twenty
eight days ; SO that for the com
pletion of the undertaking an av-
erage of $4,000 strokes per diem
was required. This, at 60 per
minute, or 5000 per hour-and
neither the human intellect nor
the human hand can be expected
TO do more would call for ten
hours labor in every twenty-four.
With a proper feeling of the res
pect due to the observance of the
Sabbath, he determined to abstain
from his work on Sundays, and
10y this determination he dimin,
ished by four days the period al
lowed him; at the same time, by
70 doing, he increased the daily
average of bis strokes to upwards
of 900. On the first day be
executed about $4,000 strokes;
on the second nearly as many
But at length, after many days
his hand became stiff and weary,
.he wrist swollen, and, without IN
terrupting its progress over the
paper, it required the almost con-
slant attendance of some assidu-
Gus relation or friend to bespfin,
kle it with a lotion calculated to
relieve and invigcrate it. On the
twenty-third day the million
strokes, exceeded by some few
thousands, "to make assurance
doubly sure" were accomplished;
and the piles of paper that exhib-
it them testify that to the courage
Gus heart, the willing hand, the
energetic mind nothing is impos-
sible. These interesting papers
are not placed in the archives of
the Royal Society, of which the au-
thor is a fellow, but were claimed
and received by the person who
paid the wager.

Posture of the Head in
Sleeping,

II is often a question among
people who are unacquainted with
anatomy and physiology, whether
lying with the head exalted or on
level with the body is the more
unwholesome. Most, consulting
their own case on this point, ar
que in favor of that which they
prefer, Now, although many de-
light in bolstering up their heads
at night, and sleep soundly with
out injury, yet we declare it to be
a dangerous habit, The vessels
in which the blood passes from
the heart to the head are always
lessened in their cavities when
the head is resting in bed higher
than the body; therefore, in all
diseases attended with fever the
head should be pretty nearly on
a level with the body; +; and people
ought to accustom themselves tc
sleep thus and avoid danger.

Words Of Warming.

Here are some words spoken bv
an able man, one in the largest
meaning Of the word. They
burn with eloquent truth, are rec
ommended for the reading of sen
sibla Republicans, who will heed
them rs the utttrances Of no less
IL man than Carl Schulz:
81 consider it one Of the most
pressing needs of our day that We
should return to the sound prac-
tice OF constitutional government.
The safeguards Of our common
rights and liberties cOntained In
the Constitution are too sqcred
and valuable a boon to be perma.
nently jeopardiz4d in providing
for a passing emergency. 1t is
time that the American people
open their eyes to the dangerous
character of this tendency, and
that neither a great name nor an
object appealing to cur sympathiCs
should be permitted to disguise
it. As for me, | have seen the
working Of irresponsible power
and personal government in other
countries, and | may assure my
that while remain a
citizen Of this Republic l shall
struggle to the last gasp to pre-
vent its introduction here!'

An artificial whirlwind blew
at Glen's Falls, New York, a
few days ago; it was caused by
a farmer, who wishing to burn
a fallow OF about fifteen or
twenty acres, ignited the brush
at several places on the outer
edge. The flames rushed to-
ward thescentre and assumed a
rotary motion, which increased
in velocity till a terrific whirl-
wind was formed, which tore
up small trees, root and branch,
and frightened all who witnessed
it. A column of smoke rose to
so great a height that itwas Wis
ible for several miles, and a
noise as loud as thunder accom-
panied this singular phenome-
non.
