Somewhat Mixed. :

Max Adeler, in the Philadelphia
Sunday Dispatch, and the "local" of the
Troy Wing appear to be just little
mixed on recent Troy accident, thus
A Mr.. Hudson, of Troy, n. Y, had
recently a narrow escape from being
crushed by heavy box which slipped
from tackle that was raising it. The
Wing explains the matter thus Hear
ing the warning of the workmen, he
started back and threw up his skull, in
which he was carrying a tin vessel. This
probably saved his life." For three
long and weary weeksswe have brooded
over those remarks night and day, ex-
haustlng the sources OF gigantic intel
lect and an ingenuity which has been
bafiied hitherto by nothing, and yet we
cannot grasp the idea fully. We do not
know how it was that Hudson managed
to carry tin vessel in his skull, nor
why in the name of all that is physiolo-
gically respectable he wore his skull in
his stomach. But even if these things
were revealed to us and with the eye of
fancy we could behold the spectacle Of
Hudson walking along the street after
putting tin thing in his skull, and
then swallowing the skull and its con-
tents, we could still be unable to com
prehend why Hudson's life should have
been saved from falling box simply
because he threw up his skull. Worse
STILL how could Hudson hear ''the warn
ing of the workmen" if he had his ears
down there inside Of him? 1t must
have been more interesting than circus
to watch that man Hudson while he
was doing this thing but we cannot
understand it.

For the Children-A Short Calculation

A writer in one of our religious papers
offers this calculation 1t is estimated
that there are millions of young persons
in America who, from want Of interest
or simple solicitation, give not one dol

tan enterprises, yet should they
contribute but ten cents a week, would
produce the yearly income Of over
twenty millions. Why, then will not
Christians awake to the consideration Of
this subject, to proper cognizance OF
the immense dormant power, and move
at once in the use of means to reach it,
so us to insure the glorious dawning Of
that promised day when "to the poor

If fifty persons give 10 cents each, the
amount will be IS per week, or $500 per
year.
If fifty persons give 20 cents each,
the amount will be SO per week, or
$500 per year.
If thirty persons give 10 cents each
the amount would be SD per week, or
1924 per year.
If twenty persons give SO cents each,
the amount will be SO per week, or
$500 per year.
If ten persons give 81 each, the
amount will be SO per week, or 500

sad Marine Disaster.

The EUentng Wisconsin, of the 25th of
September, gives the following in rela.
ton to the loss Of schooner and rem
persons on Lake Michigan
By the arrival of the propeller st.
Louis, Capt. Sisson, we have received
intelligence of a serious disaster near
the Manitous, involving the loss of a
fine vessel and all on board except the
captain. The schooner Charles II. Hurd
left Chicago with cargo of about u 900
bushels of corn, and when near the
Manitous, during the heavy gale Of Fri
day night, sprung leak and toundered
between two or three miles Off the head
Of South Manitou Island, going down
III deep water. Her entire crew, with q
single exception, were drowned. The
person saved gives his name as W. 0.
Harrison, and says he was captain Of the
vessel. He drifted ashore on the North
Manitou Island, Saturday afternoon in
an exhausted condition, and at the time
the st. Louis left had not recovered sut-
iciently to give a coherent account of
the disaster The captain had his wife
on board. Her body was picked up off
the South Manitou lighthouse, Sunday
forenoon, by some fishermen. The Hurd
carried crew of ten persons, nine OF
whom lost their lives. The captains
wife added, makes the total loss Of life
ten. The vessel was three-master,
fore-andaft rugged. She was built ut
Detroit in 1868, by j. NJ. Jones, and
owned by Messrs. Ralph IL Harmon.
Her rate was A |, and valuation $27 900.
The disaster is supposed to have been
caused by the opening of her seams in
the heavy sea.

A Japanese Ladies' BOudOir.

a lady Of Hon James Brooks party,
in Japan, looked into a japanese bou-
dour, and this is her inventory Little
or no furniture no chairs no bedstead
nothing but mats to sleep on. A
toilet-boX was on the floor, near the
wall--about the only article of furniture
in the room. In this box there were
five drawers, and two lacquer basins on
top. In the top drawer there was a
metallic mirror, like our hand glasses.
In the second drawer she kept her
powder, paint, wax, tooth-powder, and
brush. Two little drawers came next
in one she had her false hair, and in the
other fancy pins, gilt paper, and other
fixings for her hair In the lower
drawer was her pillow, which is placed
under the neck when sleeping on the
mats, so as to prevent the hair from
being rumpled. 1t is made of wood,
and covered on the top. The powder
looks like starch, and when they use it
they mix a little water with it, and rub
IL IN like paste: and they have two
brushes that they use to rub it off with.
The paint looks green and turns red
when put or the lips and checks.
A SENSATIONAL crime has come to light
in the northern district of Mount Her
mon. About two years ago report
spread far and wide that several chill
dren had disappeared, and the Ruala
Bedouin were so terrified that they used
to stow away their progeny in boxes
and baskets. The report was that
monster had been seen--a greyhound
in shape, a lion in size. The realistic
believed that a lion might perchance
have strayed from the eastern desert,
while the knowing ones suspected, as
usual, some Druze plot. Latterly it mas
been discovered that Druze woman
from the village Dahr.el-Ahmur, be-
tween Rashyerya and Rukble, deter
mined to revenge herself on rival in
love, had poisoned and cut up no less
than eight children. At last head
was found in well at Rashyerya, and
the crime was brought home. The
Druzes wished to put the murderess to
death, but the authorities rescued her
and sent her to Damascus. On June
9th she was marched through the ba.
zaars in irons-a disgrace she endured
with the greatest cynicism. The mum.
Der of deaths has been exaggerated to
fourteen, and the first victim was said
to be her own son, who had accidental.
ly witnessed something compromising.

The Mysteries of Chinese Missionary.
From the San Jose Zeal. Independent.

FROM 9lle san jose Ntul independent.
Perhaps it is not generally known
that the Chinese have secret orders es-
tablished among themselves, whose de.
signs and objects are much the same as
those Of more civilized nations. On the
evening of the Fourth branch order
was established with appropriate mysti-
cal ceremonies in Chinatown, at the
Joss House. Large numbers Of the Ce-
lestals gathered in the evening and
proceeded toward the building. \ few
outside barbarians attempted 10 gain
admission. A chinaman was accosted and
asked the meaning Of the gathering.

his head, and a lot of unintelligible
gibberish chanted by the assemblage.
An impolite Chinaman happened TO
place his back against the knot hole,
and further observation was lost.
The people living in the neighbor-
hood of Woolwich, England, the site OF
the royal arsenal, have been lately
gravely disturbed by the discovery that
the ground beneath their feet was LA

them down into cavern or subterrane-
Gus reservoir containing thirty feet OF

different points have proved that a con-

other and safer habitations. For the Sc

Career of Il DuStman.

The name of the -prize-fghter who
some years since sat in the British
House of Parliament was John Gally,
name very familiar to Englishmen
twenty-five years since on account of
the following circumstances Any one
having a knowledge of London will re-
member the great dust.heaps collected
by the celebrated Coleman, the London
contractor for the dust of that city and
suburbs. In the course of time Coleman,
having amassed considerable property,
built statue in the centre OF "Cross-
Roads, and proposed to run for Parlia.
ment. This gave occasion to a song that
was written as a burlesque upon the
aspirations of the dustman, and was
sung at all the concert-rooms under the
title Of the " Literary Dustman.' In
one of the last stanzas Coleman is sup
posed to mention the celebrated prize
tigh ter thus:
And when ! sits in Parliament
For that mean 20 try, sir
For Mr.. Gally fought his way,
And weretore shouldn't /, sir.
John Gally, the member OF Parlla-
ment referred to in this doggerel, was a
Bristol man, but represented the Dor
ough of Pontefract, in Yorkshire, some
thirty-five years since. Various anec-
dotes are related Of him. He belonged
to the Jockey Club, the members of
which are generally confined to the no.
bility, and the entree to which it is very
difficult to obtain. Once, having lost
f27 600 at the Derby, it was remarked,
Now Gally will have to lose his mem
bership, for he certainly cannot meet
this. But, to the amazement of all,
the next morning he came into the club
and paid down the sum in fnll. His
stud alone was estimated at over
$4,000. He died few years since.

I have noticed. Mr.. Editor, for some
weeks back, that Mr.. William Dean, Of
White Clay Creek. has filed considcra-
bic space in one Of the Wilmington papers,
by writing letters for said journal on va
rious topics. Mr.. Dean seems to be dis
turbcd about many things, and does not
rest easy. His rcstivcness marifcsts itself
upon various subjects. and he seems to be
impressed with the idea that things nre
going wrong, generally. He lectures the
Legislature upon representation. upon
temperance, and other subjects he lec-
lures the Democratic party. and threatens
II with dire mishap unless il should square
its course in accordance with Mr. Deans
notions Of propricty and moral honesty.

Mr. Editor, may have some quaint old
