The Saturday Review calls the follow
ing sentence by Miss Annie Blackwell,
"portentious twaddle.' What we call
the universe having no original or indie
pendent existence, but being the ultima
ton into the plane of derivation Of the
casual possibilities inherentin the divine
esentiality."
In the Merideth (Connecticut) quar-
ries have been found the foot prints Of
gigantic birds, made centuries upon
centuries ago, when the sandstone was
wet sand. Probably no tracks ever dis
tributed have made more deep and last
ing impressions.
In Catlin's Indian cartoons, now on
exhibition at New York, there is view
Of Chicago as it existed in 1884, when
the artist stopped at the hotel, which,
with few frame houses and some Win
nebago wigwams, occupied the site of the
Garden City.
A female pussen of cullah was
asked a few days since why she never
wore white, as black women generally
were fond of decking themselves out in
snowy apparel Kaise,' said she,
allus thinks white dress makes a Niger
look like fly in a pan Of milk.
An English inventor announces q
piano that can be played with pedals.
OF these there are sixty-eight cubical
blocks of wood, and each one when
struck gives chord of four notes. This
performer plays in slippers, and while
he does the piano with his feet be plays
the flute with his mouth and fingers.
An edifying spectaclel
The porter on Western sleeping-car
whose bread depended largely on the
oscillations of his blacking-brush, was
somewhat crestfallen to see a legless
man take possession of one of the berths,
At first he was decidedly stumped as to
how he could collect change for blacking
the boots of the manned passenger, but
he solved the riddle by polishing the
ends of the crutches. The owner re-
warded the ingenious porter with a fifty.
cent stamp.
Squirrels are so great nuisance in
California that bounty Of ten cents per
head is paid for their destruction. A
single hunter has killed and trapped ten
thousand in one season, for which he got
one thousand dollars bounty He sent
the skins to Paris, where they sold at
fifteen cents eack, swelling his receipts
to two thousand FIVE hundred dollars
for his captures. The skins are said to
be more valuable than those of the rat
or kid in the manufacture Of gloves.
Grass widows are highly favored in
England. 1t has been judicially decided
in that tight little island that married
woman is entitled to vote at municipal
elections, if she happens to be living
apart from her husband. The law, as
now interpreted, is that every woman
can vote for the municipal officers if she
is an independent householder; or,
having a husband, if she is not under
his control; which puts the grass widows
on a political footing with spinsters and
