so vicious in this respect that all the

a neighber of Dsck's master, called and
said that Dick must be sold out Of that

Too Safe a Safe.

From across the ocean, in the London
Builder, we hear, for the first time, the
following: Amechanic in New Orleans
constructed safe which declared to be
burglar-pr0of. To convince the incred-
ulous Of the fact, he placed one thous-
and dollar bill in his pocket, had him.
self in the safe, and declared that he
would give the money to the man that
unfastened the door. All the black
smiths and burglars in the State have
been boring and beating at the safe for
a week, and the man is in there yet!
He has whispered through the key
hole that he will make tue reward ten
thousand dollars If somebody will only
let him out. fr
Fears are entertained that the whole
concern will have TO be melted down
in blast furnace before he is released,
and efforts are to.be made to pass in
through the keyhole fre-prof jack
ct, to protect the inventor while the
iron is melting. The inventor swears
if he once gets out, that he viii in future

patience inside. He says he never
thoughtShe should wish, as he does
now, that some one would find week
place in his armour.

The Marietta Times says: Directly
opposite Matamoras, in West Virginia,
there resides with Mr.. Alexander Hays
an old lady named Louisa Miller, who
wiz have reached the advanced age OF
lot years on the 18th day of this month.
Mrs. Miller is quite active, much more
SO than most people of one-half her
age. Walks around on visiting her
neighbors, washes her own clothes,
makes her own bed and makes herself
generally useful in household matters.
Her recollection of the war of 1872 is
very distinct, and she relates many
things of interest connected with that
time. She and her husband lived to-
gether as man and wife for 6e years.
She was born near old M0rristown.
New Jersey. Philip Miller was the
name Of this 1ady's husband; at what
age he died we failed to learn, but
Judging from the fact of their living
together for SO years, would imply that
he also reached an advanced age.
