They have been three years boring an
arresian well near St. Louis. The depth
reached is 3,S32 feet, or only 138 feet
less than three fourths of a mile. But
no pure wa.er has been reached at that
depth, and il is nov proposed to plug the
hole up and lose see, 900. the cost so far.
The boring was done at the rate Of about
80 feet per month The artesian well at
Grenoble, in France, is one of the most
famous in the world, and was begun in
1888, with the expectation of reaching
water at depth of not more than twelve
or fifteen hundred feet In 1S41, at a
depth of 1872 feet, water was at last found
and has flowed ever since at the rate OF
Ave hundred thousand gallons in twenty
four hours. There are numerous wells
in other parts of Europe and also in this
country, but the deepest one 10 the world,
except that now under consideration, is
at sugar refinery IN St Louis, begun in
the spring of 1S49, and continued until
1854, when the work stopped at depth

The Man that Denied al Gifts, and
Set an Example Of Honest Industry.

In the winter of 1864 the City Coun-
ell of Richmond rendered Gen. Lee an
elegant mansion as some small token of
the high estimate in which he was held
by the city which he had so long defend
ed. But the grand old man replied 81
do not expect to be in Richmond during
the continuance of the war, and my FAM
lily are as comfortable as they have a
right to expect to be in these times. l
must, therefore. with my thanks for your
consideration, most respectfully decline
your offer. IF you have money to give,
hope you will bestow it upon my pri.
vate soldiers, who are more needy and
far more deserving than myself.
At the close of the war offers OF pc
cuniary assistance poured in upon him
from all sides but he steadfastly refused
to receive them.
AN ENGLISH NoBLEMAN,
Thinking be would rejoice in some place
or retreat from his Affections, wrote to
offer him a spleuded country seat and a
handsome annuity. He Dobly replied !:
Il am deeply grateful, but l cannot con
sent to desert my native State in the hour
of her deep adversely | must abide her
fortune aud share her fate"
LARGE SALARIES OFFERED.
Soon after he took charge of Washing
ton College he was visited by the agent
of an insurance company, who offered
him the presidency at a salary of ten
thousand dollars. He told the agent
that he could not give up his position in
the college, and could not properly at
tend to both. "But, General" said the
agent. I'VE do not want you to discharge
aDy duties. We simply wish the use of
your name; that will abundantly COM
Pensate as.
"Excuse me sir" was the.prompt and
decided rejoinder. al cant consent to
receive pay for services do not render"
He received many offers of this sort,
and Just before his death a large manu-.
featuring company in New York offered
him salary Of ffty thousand dollars
year if be would become their president.
But to all such offers he had the same
ieply-his duty 10 the college fully oc-
cupied his time and he would not receive
pay where he did not render service.
HOUSE AND ANNUITY TO MRS. LEE
DECLINED.
He refused to receive from the college
anything like so large a salary as they
desired to pay him, and when, last year.
the trustees decided to Mrs. Lee q house
and annuity of three thousand dollars.
the General respectfully declined on
Mrs Lees behalf to accept it.
He DECLINED ALL eRATUITIEs,
And thoughloviug people. for whom he
had toiled so heroically, would most joy
ousIy have settled on him a handsome
property, he preferred to earn his daily
bread by his personal exerrion, and to
set to his people an example of honest
industry

Coon Mr. Sueaks had been talking to
little Calvin in Sunday school about the
evils which result from using tobacco,
and told him how, when he was little
boy he met a gentleman in the. street
with cigar il his mouth, and had asked
him 70 throw it away, aHd how the gen
tleman said, My boy, you have taught
me lesson" aud never smoked again.
So little Calvin tried it. He asked the
first man he met to ~please throw away
that filthy cigar" but the man said, "I'll
learn you manners. you little fool you, I"
and he cuffed little Calvin's ears till his
nose bled So little Calvin thinks things
are changed since Mr. Sneaks was young.
