Long Life Of ClergYmen.

From certain tables of vital statistics
which have been compiled it appears that,
out of 2,442 clergymen of different de-
nominations, sixty attained ages ranging
from ninety to one hundred and three
years, while only fifty-two died under the
age of forty! One out of every seven of
the whole number was Lightweight years
old or upward at death. Between one
third and one-half of the whole were
seventy years old or upward at DEATH
Considerably more than one-half were
over fifty years OF age at death and sew
en-eighths were over forty years of age
at death.

Safety Locks.

An ingenious application of photo
graphy has been made to indicate when
locks have been tempered with, although
it does not actually prevent tampering
In many cases, however, to make it GER
tain that tampering with lock will be
uniformly discovered, is enough to pre-
vent any attempt to open them. The ap-
plication has been made with success to
cars on the railroads acting as bonded car
riers in the transportation Of goods, in
bond, under the act of Congress author
izing such transportation. Simple pad
locks are used, provided with the Custom
House seal This is a small piece of glass,
which is passed over the keyhole, and held
by spring in such way that it cannot
be removed except by breaking the glass.
The seals are made by etching in New
York large sheets of glass so that they
shall be covered with irregular figures
that cannot be duplicated These are
sent to the Treasury Department at Wash
ington, where they are photographed.
These photographers are taken, and then
the glass and the photographs are cut into
small squares, and each square of glass,
with its photographs, are forwarded to the
officers in New York. When car is
locked, one of these glass seals is put over
the keyhole, and a photograph forwarded
to the officer of the destination to which
the goods are shipped. A comparison of
the photograph with the seal at once
shows whether the lock has been opened
or not

B1yn In the town of C. there lived
a very humorous fellow by the name of
Joe Miller There were few persons,
young or old, in the little town, who were
not at some time Joe's victims. Joe was
a frequent visitor at the only inn in the
place, and was well known by all custom
ers. 1t happened that, as business was
pressing, the landlord determined to hire
a barkeeper, and accordingly the next day
found new man serving the customers
at the inn.
When Joe arrived for his usual cock
tail he eyed the new barkeeper very close
ly for few moments, evidently to satisfy
himself that he'd never seen him before,
and walking up to the counter, he de-
manded glass of ale The new man
Immediately set it before him. Joe swal-
lowed it at a draught, and after wiping
his moustache, asked the B. X:
Whose ale was that ?"
Smiths" promptly replied the ven
der.
"yery good ale" said Joe "Be kind
enough to hand another"
He got another, and punished it as the
before mentioned.
Whose ale did you say that was 7?
repeated Joe, this time more serious than
before.
+" Smiths" replied the barkeeper, aston
ished at the earnestness Of Joe.
ooh, yes; just tell Mr.. Smith that
called and got a couple of glasses of his
ale; he's brother-in- law Of mine Good
day"
And Joe walked leisurely out of the
barroom, leaving the astonished and pet
riiied b. X. to come to what conclusion
he might concerning Smith and his broth
er-in-law

A NICE GIRL.

HNHOUGH that class of girls is by no
Il means extinct, still they are not so
numerous as might be wished. There is
nothing SO sweet in life, half SO delight
full, or so loveable as a nice girl. Not a
pretty, or dashing girl but nice girl
One of those lovely, likely, good hearted,
sweet faced, amiable, neat, natty, domes-
tic creatures, met within the sphere of
=" home" diffusing around the.nfuence of
her goodness, like the essence of sweet
flowers.
A nice girl is not the languishing beau
ty, drawlng on the sofa, and discussing
tho last novel, or opera, or the girafeing
like creature sweeping majestically thro'
the drawing room. The nice girl may
not even play or dance we'll, and knows
nothing about using her eyes, or coquet-
ting with fan She never languishes,
she is too active She is not given to
sensitive novels, she is too busy. In the
opera she is not in front to show her
shoulders she sits quiet and unobtrusive
at the back of the box, most likely. In
fact its not often we discover her. Home
is her place.
Who rises betimes and superintends
the morning meal? Who makes the toast
and the tea, and buttons the boys shirts,
and waters the flowers, and feeds the
chickens, and brightens up the parlor,
and the sitting room Is it the languisher
or the giraffe, or the " elegante ?"
Not bit of it; it's the nice young girl
Her maiden toilet is made in the short
est possible time, yet how charmingly
done, and how elegant her neat dress and
collar
Breakfast over, down to the kitchen to
see about dinner, and all day long she is
up and down, always cheerful and light
hearted. When sickness comes it is she
who attends with unwearying patience in
the sick chamber. There is no risk, no
fatigue that she will not undergo; no sac
rifice that she will not make She is all
love, all devotion. l have often thought
it would be happiness to be i'll to be
watched by such loving eyes, and tended
by such fair hands.
One of the most strongly marked char
acteristics of ga nice girl" is tidiness
and simplicity of dress. She is invaria-
bly, associated in my mind with clean
frock, plain collar, and the neatest Of
neck ribbons, bound with the most mod
est little brooch in the world. l never
knew "nice girl" who displayed pro-
fusion of rings and bracelets and who
wore low dresses Or splendid bonnet
say again, there is nothing in the
world half so beautiful, half so intrinsi-
cally good as nice girl" She is the
sweetest flower in the'path of life. There
are others far more stately, far more
gorgeous, but these we merely admire
as we go by. 1t is where the daisy grows
that we like to rest.

Now, how could that be
"Why, it's riddlev' exclaimed Mr..
Funnidog, delightedly.
"And one that you will not guess in

Professor, confdentially.-" Come, ladies
and gentlemen, solve the problem"
"I see" calculated Mrs. House
wife.
Hush whisper in my ear, cried
Puzzleton, with all the excitement of
child with new top.
"Don't let 'em hear it. Niece by mar
rige. Stuff and nonsense The thing
is not any foolish kind of catch at al"
and once more he glanced with hostility
at Funnidog, as much as to say, Such
as he would ask you"
Nothing can be more simple than
my question:" said the Professor GIVE
got niece that's all, says one brother.
'Thank heaven, I've got no niece says
the other. How can that be? You all
give it up? Well the invalid was his
daughter"
"Oh, see," said Mrs. Housewife
despondingly. I" How very stupid in us
not to find it out.
"Yes, indeed, mann, answered the re-
morseless savant. "That failure only
shows how difficult it is for ordinary
minds to grasp more than one idea at
the same time. The attention is solely
fixed on the different varieties of nieces.
"And also," observed Mr.. Alones,
(who was much displeased at being class
ed among ordinary minds ") "and also" j"
the attention is naturally distracted from
the point at issue by the brutality of the
fathers remark. Now, that is in itself a
catch, in my opinion"
"Well, sir, 1 will give you another
simple exercise for the understanding,
that has no such distracting element"
observed the Professor, coolly. GA blind
beggar had a brother. The brother died
What relation were they to one another ?
Come, tell me that"
"Why they were brothers," exclaim-
ed the Colonel with the rapidity of a
small boy at the bottom of the class, who
hopes 10 gain promotion.
"No, sir" answered the Professor
regarding Thunderbomb with interest, as
a significant type of some low order Of
intelligence; "they were not brothers, OIL
l should scarcely have asked the ques
tion., .......
"They might be brothers-in-law," sug
gested Funnidog.
Undoubtedly they might" replied
Puzzleton, with plying smile but they
were not" ..
"Stop bit," said Mcpherson, hurri
edly, like one who has not got his answer
quite ready, but yet doesn't wish to b.
anticipated. "The blind beggar, yor
say, had brother and he died. Well, o
course, if one was dead, you know, they
could not be brothers any longer"
"The idea is novel;" observed the Pro
fessor, gravely, but you have not hit OIL
the exact solution. The fact is gentle

either male or female They were broth

CNrSO2a'S Stellar OIL
FOR
ILLUMINATING PURPOSES.

The proprietor of this Oil has for several years
felt the necessity of providing for, and presenting
to the public, as a substitute for the dangerous
country an oil that is SAFE and BRILLIANT,
rious and costly experiments he has succeeded in
providing, and now oilers to the pubic; Snch
should be used by every family
lST, Because it is safe beyond a question, The
primary purpose in the preparation of STELLAR
OIL has been to make it PERFECTLY SAFE,
thus insuring the lives and property of those who
use 1t.
2D, Because it is the most BRILLIANT liquid H.
luminatOr now known.
3D, Because 1t is more economical, in the long
run, than any of the dangerous oils and fluids
now in too common use
4TH, Because 1t is intensely BRILLIANT, and
therefore economical giving the greatest posi-
BILE light at the least expenditure to the consum-
er. Its present standard of SAFETY AND
BRILLIANCY will always be maintained, for
upon this the proprietor depends for sustaining
the high reputation the STELLAR OIL now
enjoys.
To prevent the adulteration OF this with the eX.
plOsive compounds now known under the name of
Kerosene, &c, &c, 1t Is put up for family use IN
Five Gallon cans, each can being sealed, and
stamped with the trademark of the proprietor; it
cannot be tampered with between the manufac-
tnrer and consumer. None is genuine without the
TRADEMARK.
STELLAR OIL is sold only by weight, each can
containing five gallons OF six and half pounds
each, thus securing to every purchaser full meas.
ure. 1t Is the duty and interest Of all dealers and
consumers OF Illuminating oil to use the STELLAR
OIL onty, because 1t alone Is known to be safe and
reliable.

Say We are told of two men who met
each other at an inn, and greeted each
other affectionately. The hotelkecper
inquired of one how he was related to
the other, who replied
Brother and sister have / none,
Yet this mans father was my fathers son."
This is perfectly plain statement, and
yet there are few whose minds are clear
enough to see at once that this jingle Of
words is only roundabout way of saying
that this man was the speakers son.

, 1t affords me much pleasure to give you,
in these few lines, a very sincere testimoni-
al for the Piano Fortes of your manufacture.
We have now used the Patent Arion Pianos
in our Conservatives, for year, and have
had fair opportunity OF testing their du-
rability during that time. The Pianos
have been played upon almost constantly
from morning till night, and Piano must
indeed be go Cd one when it will bear
such constant use without showing signs
of detection. AS for remaining in tune, it
outrivals any Piano known to me.
Their peculiar sweetness of tone in the
treble, las compared to other Pianos with
the ordinary metal agraffe arrangement
is so striking that | have had pupils re-
mark, while taking their lessons, that al
though they had at shome what what they
supposed to be one of the best makes of
Pianos, still the treble was very wirey
toned compared with the Arion.
What makes them still more desirable is
their uniform volume of tone, which enable
an artist to Fperform composition in its
true character.
In total, | can conscientiously endorse all
that is claimed by the Arion Piano-F Forte
Company for their superb instruments, as
consider them superior to any other make
Congratulating you upon the great sue
cess you have obtained in the manufacture
of so perfect an instrument, | remain yours
Very truly,

Director.

On Sunday the gauge of the Ohio and
Mississippi Railway was narrowed
throughout its entire length of $40
miles. Sunday was chosen as the day
in which to accomplish this extensive
work, on account Of the general absence
of necessity for running trains on that
day, Two lines of spikes, marking the
narrow gauge, had already been driven,
and all the needful tools and materials
distributed, and all the work to be
done was to shift the rail seven inches,
place the spikes, and drive them home.
Eight men to each mile of road were
employed, and it was expected that so
rapidly would the work be ompllshed
that on Monday morning the regular
mail trains would start from CINCINNATI
and st. Louis and the rolling stock and
machinery be distributed to their proper
places, so that trains could run on time
to-day. Twenty-eight locomotives have
been reduced to suit the narrow gauge,
and $50 freight cars, 800 new box cars,
and 81 passenger cars have been DON
tracted for, while 40 new freight en-
gines have been purchased.
