The following anscdote Is told of the
early years of Louis Napoleon When
n very little fellow, he used to pass OH
his way to school a blacksmith's shop,
around which he sometimes loitered.
One day he made the discovery that
the blacksmith was In the habit OF
lighting his pipe with a long rod OF
iron, one end of which was generally
left sticking in the forge, that 1t might
be drawn out red hot for this purpose.
This gave Louis a bright idea, and,
watching for a favorable opportunity,
he drew the rod out Of the fire and re-
placed 1t with the hot end left sticking
out, so that when tho smith returned
in a few seconds, after a temporary
absence, and, unconsciousofthe change,
took hold of the rod. to draw 1t out of
the fire to light his pipe rs usual, he
burned his hand badly. His exclama-
ton Of pain and surprise was respond
cd to by q burst Of uncomfortable
laughter from the irrepressible Louis,
who had hidden himself away some
where to enjoy the success Of his nice
little practical joke. and who thus, de-
spite of himself, had revealed his secret
and his hiding-plaee. The consequence
was that he received the best beating
that he probably syer got in his life

"THE SILENT ALkRM."-The local
Of the Carson Register reminds us that
the alarm candle, or silent alarm. as 1t
Is sometimes called, Is the invention Of
G.. r. Alexander mot "George". OF
this city. While not losing sight Of the
importance of his invention, Alexander
has not been very assiduous in his eff
forts to bring 1t before the public. 1t
Is coming into notice, however, and
Alexander will profit by its general
introduction. He has lately made
some improvements In the new light,
by which to avoid all unpleasantness
from ~arsenical fumes, which some
feared would prove an objection. The
fundamental principles are preserved,
and the alarm candle must prove, to
persons particular about their hour Of
waking. useful in the extreme.-IPhhe
Pine Nesre. -..
No doubt but that many persons
who have seriously been considering
the adoption Of the "silent alarm"
candle for use while travelling on rail-
roads, or early rising to so OIL the night
shift In mining operations, will be
pleased to hear of the important i'm
provemsnts which are being made.
The arsenical fumes have been, so it Is
said, quite an objection to the new light
in the lower levels, and are likely to
cause asphixia if brought in contact
with carbolic gas-an element quite
fatal in deep mining-but which will
be entirely obviated twenty years hence
when the Sutro tunnel penetrates the
Comstock.

RAnRoADs.-The Supreme Court Of
California has recently decided that
when n railroad company runs its road
through \ field without building a
fence to prevent animals from getting
on the track, 1t is bound by an implied
promise to pay the owner of the land
for any Of his cattle that may be killed
on the road through want Of proper
fence. The Court says that it is the
right of the owner of the land to pas
ture HIS cattle and horses In his fields,
and that the law does not regard it as
negligence on his part If he pastures
them in a field traversed by a railroad.

, WAeEs.-One Of the lower Courts Of
New jersey recently decided that a
domestic servant who had been dis
charged for willful and persistent disc
bedience Of lawful orders was entitled
to recover of his employer his wages
UP to the time Of his dismissal.
On review, however, the Supreme
Court of New Jersey reversed this de-
cision, holding, generally, that If a
servant whose wages arc due and
payable periodically, as quarterly,
monthly, or weekly, refuses to serve
in the manner contracted for, or Is
rightfully discharged at any interyen-
ing period between the days when the
wages are due, he can recover nothing
for that space Of time which he has
served since his last periodical pay
ment Of wages.

The house near Ashland, Virginia,
In which Henry Clay was born, in l777,
was recently burned. A Richmond
contemporary says: cit was situated
on a small tract Of ordinary land, near
the Old Slash Church, in the county Of
Hanover, about five miles distant from
Ashland. A picture of it before us
represents it as al old-fashioned, one
story frame house, with. sloping roof.
It has a large chimney at either end,
which, according to the fashion of the
times In which they were built, have
enough material In them for three
modern chimneys. At one end Is n
shed room built over the chimney.
This shed had from age settled and
separated from the main building, thus
leaving q gap into which dry leaves
and other combustible matter had from
time to time fallen. A spark dropping
upon them occasioned the fire, which
resulted In the destruction Of the hum
BILE birthplace Of the great American
commoner.n
