AN INTERESTING REIIc-The Independel t
says: I'VE believe we have not told our read
ers of the interesting discovery, a few months
since, at Jerusalem. of one of the posts sup,
porting the stone bolustrade which separated
the sacred portion of the Temple which was tor
bidden to the Gentiles. 1t bears an inscription
in Greek to this effect: All strangers are for
bidden to intrude within the bolustrade. Who
ever prcsumes to do so is alone responsible fer
what may befall him. This inclosure will be
found described in Josephus, and it was be-
cause Paul introduced the deciples who accon :
panied him from Cesarea within it that the
riot arose among the Jews on suspicion that
they we're Gentilcs, from which he was rescued
by the interference of the captain Of the band.
1t is believed that this support of the boustrade
is the most ancient, as it is of the most inter
esting, of the discoveries that have been made
at the Holy City. 1t gives the meansof an ap-
proximate estimate Of the proportions OF tie
houstrade, as we'll as a confirmation of the ac,
curacy of the descriptions of Josephus. A full
description of it will soon be made in special
memoir. 4 yet later discovery is that OF an un;
finished pillar of Solomon 5 Temple, mentioned
by Josephus as having been rejected on account
of flaw in the stone.

A Cow. ARDLY SENSATION.- From the De-
tr,it Tribune IA COW was the cause OF a most
remarkable instance of devastation few hts
since Breaking into the yard OF MIR. Lambert s
dwelling, and putting her head into an empty
barrel in an exploring tour for any contents 1t
might have, she was unable to extrlcate her
self and soon became thoroughly frightened
and began to rush wildly around. In this con-
dition she forced her way into the woodshed,
and thence into the kitchen, and thence into
the dining-room Of the house, becoming all the
while more furious. From this room she made
her way into the parlor, throwing down and
trampling under foot everything. that. came in
her way. Mrs Lambert aroused her husband,
who arose and went for help. The COW next
rushed into the bedroom, where Mrs Lam bert,
with little baby and one child, occupied a
bed, and another child was in crib IN front OF
it. The enraged animal mounted the bed, but
help arrived, and not an Instant too soon. The
window was raised from the outside, and Mr..
Mckenzie attempted to enter when the barrel
gave him blow which knocked him back against
the fence. The children were at last secured
and passed through the window end Mrs. Lam
bert soon followed The door Of the bedroom
was then closed and the cow Was lett to herself.
At last she became quiet and the barrel fell
from her head; the doors were opened and she
walked out The furniture, which was very
nice, is fearfully demorazed. The plaSterlng
was knocked from the walls and the panels OF
the doors broken out.

The NEWSPAPER BUSINESS. The Nash
vile newspapers have determined to increase
their rates of subscription having found that
at the present rates they furnish their papers
for less than the cost Of the white paper on
which it is printed Few enterprises are as ex-
pensive as newspapers and few are so laborious,
troublesome and unremunerative. Great as was
the cost of publishing them before the war. it
is much greater since. The price of printing
paper has increased considerably. Composition,
which means type setting, is almosstt double
what it was, while to the one item of telegraph.
ing must be added two hundred per ct. on old
figures Except in large cities, where the al
most in6nitessimal profit on each issue counts
up by means of an extended circulation and lib
eral advertising, the publication of newspapers
entails loss npon the publishers. Nothing is
more prevalent than unreasonable complaint
about the price of newspaper subscriptions. -
Many persons, indeed appear to think that they
ought not only to have the privilege OF directing
the course Of the newspaper they take, but that
it ought to be furnished to them for nothing.
A long observation and experience have sat
is6ed US that there rs no class who confer so
many benefits upon the public and are SO poor,
ly rewarded as newspaper men.-Rtchmond

THE STORY OF A HOTEL B1LL.-We find this
amusing story in the New Y ork correspondence
OF the Boston Herald.
''Not long ago. young lady who had come
here from New England with her mother, with
the view of taking lessons in music, went to
one of the uptown houses to stay for week or
two, until she could procure board in private
family, The morning that she was to leave
she sent for the bill for herself and mother--a
lady of nearly sixty, who occupied room No.
4j, al ljoining that of her daughter. Miss
was amased to find that her bill amounted to
SITS, because she knew it ouDgt not to be
more than SEQ or so at the outside: AS no
items We're given she returned the bill to the
office with request that the items should be
inserted The bill went back, with two or
three specifications, and 'sundries' set down at
SO. Once more she returned the account, de-
manding to know what the 'sundrres might be.
The clerk explained through the servant, that
Sundries' was the polite term for drinks,
which so enraged the young lady that she de-
mauded to see the extraordinary accountant III
person. He made himself visible in due sea-
son. and the delicate, spirltual-looklng girl con,
fronted him by asking if he supposed she had
drank in eight or nine days $40 worth OF liquor.
As NAV be imagined he was somewhat abashed
and said with confusion 1 beg pardon, Miss;
it's mere clerical error. This is A; the
.Iriuks should have been charged to No: 10
the next door, You sea room occupied by an
old fellow who drinks like fish Permit me
to introducesto you the old fellow replied
Miss pushing open the door, standing ajarr
and re revealing to his confounded gaze one OF
the gentlest and saintliest- looking old ladies he
had ever beheld The clerk said nothing, but
dashed down the stairs. and in minute re-
ceipted bill was once more returned, but with
the 'sundricS omitted.
