 I said the rest, but there was one miss ing on the foreman counting us over; and then, calling to us to follow, he ran like a madman down the street to the next open ing, where the secret of the explosion lay before us; the trap was shut, and the foul gas made by the chemicals could not escape.
 heard him grind his teeth as he drag ged it up, and after it the grating, when it was as he hoped the missing man-an old man-had made for this place and climbed up, we getting it open just in time to save his life, for he was nearly stifed, and did not recover for weeks.
 This was.my first sewer adventure, and nearly my last, and all due to some mis- chievous person closing the trap left open for ventilation; but I've had an escape or two since, for gases as deadly as those in coal mine collect, ready to flash off at the first coming to light. I could show you mates all blistered and drawn, and distorted by the awful blaze; but think you've had enough for once of the horrors of a sewer.

BUILDING UNDER DIFFICULTIES. - Building in Chicago is attended with difficulties. Frost. and snow and bleak winds, however, have not broken the in- domitable courage of those who have determined that the rebuilding shall go on. Men untitled to the eyes drive the long lines of teams which are hauling away the debris and bringing in new building. material; carpenters thrash their chilled arms around their bodies, and take up the saw and hammer again /; masons heat their bricks with furnaces and warm their mortar with hot water, and go on rearing their walls; and work men of all kinds huddle around little bonfres at noon, and hastily eat their cold lunch, and then patiently go to work again. By such undaunted courage hundreds of thousands of loads of debris have already been cleared away in the eight weeks just gone, and host of buildings, big and little, have been reared. completed and occupied. One day, with the mercury at zero and the wind biting furiously, outdoor work was in measure suspended but as soon as the rigor abates it will be re- sumed; and so, with occasional inter- ruptions, it will go on through the wiu- ter. May the season be 8 mild one is the frequent prayer of our rich and our poor.-E.cch0nge

Successful Advertising.

We copy the following from little annual issued by R. G. Dunn & Co.,.
 The objects to be kept in view by ad vertisers are
 1. That their announcements shall reach the class of people aimed at
 2. That they shall reach as many of that class as possible.
 3. That the advertisement shall come directly before the eye, and not be lost in crowd.
 4. That it shall be made as much to the interest of the buyer to look for the advertisement as it is for tle seller to advertise.
 In successful advertising--that is ad- vertising which is so dispensed as to make the above points-there is only one other condition required, and that is one which the advertiser alone can supply-the goods offered for sale must commend themselves, as we'll for excel lence of quality, as for cheapness and other advantages.
 Some advertisers may be fitly remind ed that it is not the mere spending of money that pays, but the spending money judiciously. Advertising literally does not mean advertising indiscrami- uaIoly. A i've OuS1ueSS mousse WILL no more neglect judicious advertising than it will neglect its collections. Advertis- ing gives the impetus to trade, that tact holds the helm. As matter of experi- ence it is beyond dispute that iudicious advertising pays to an extent beyond any ordinary comparison with its cost. The progress of population anl settlement is so rapid that "good old house" which does not advertise is in danger of losing much sound custom. Some people thing it smocks of dignity to say they live without advertising. They may live upon this kind of dignity, but life is one thing, and success in life is another. A good reputation in business means that you shall be aoidely as well as favorably known. Agood advertisement is worth a good price. A bad advertisement is worth nothing.
 It is not unnecessary to caution the advertiser against postponing his adver- tisement until the purchasing season is upon him. He is very likely to do this if his chosen medium be a weekly paper, and the consequence is that as buyers are then too busy to look after adver- tisements, his money IS thrown away.

A BROKEN HEART CURED.--Julia Val let vs. Thomas Grace. This is an action of the case brought to recover damages for breach of promise to marry. De- fence That defendant has never made any promise to marry the plaintiff {; that it is conspiracy on the part of the plain tiff and her family to extort money from him; that the plaintiff first proposed marriage that he replied, ''You wouldn't marry an old man like me, would yon ?" when she replied she would, if there was only money enough that he never gave her any presents but what were solicited by the plaintiff that he never took her to ride except when asked to take her on occasions when she was going the same way that all he said in relation to marriage was when she, during the win ter of 1870, suggested that would be 8 good time to get married, he said that if he was going to get married he should prefer the Fourth of July, which was the only occasion of his manifesting any warmth of passion {; and that he has not made or broken any such promise as the plaintiff alleges.

On the Plains.

The routes usually chosen for travel across the Plains, says Gen. Custer, may be said to furnish, upon an average, water every fifteen miles. In some in- stances, however, and during the hot season of the year, it is necessary in places to go into what is termed "a dry camp" that is, to encamp where there is no water. In such emergencies, with a previous. knowledge of the route, it is practicable to transport from the last camp sufficient quantity to satisfy the demands of the people composing the train, but the dumb brutes must trust to the little moisture obtained from the night grazing to quench their thirst.
 The animals inhabiting the Plains re- semble in some respects the fashionable society of some of our larger cities. During the extreme heat of the.summer they forsake their accustomed haunts and seek more delightful retreat. For, although the Plains are drained by streams of all sizes, from the navigable river to the humblest of brooks, yet at certain seasons the supply of water in many of them is of the most uncertain character. The pasturage, from the ex- cessive heat, the lack of sufficient mois- ture, and the whitening hot winds which sweep across from the south, becomes dried, withered, and burnt, and is ren- dered incapable of sustaining life Then it is that the animals usually found on the Plains disappear for short time, and await the return of milder season.
 Wherever water is found on the Plains, particularly if it is standing, innumer- able gadfies and mosquitoes generally ol> pests to the animal kingdom exist, that to our thinly animals, such as the horse and mule, grazing is almost an impossibility, while the buffalo with his hugh shaggy coat can browse undis- turbed. The most sanguinary and de- termined of these troublesome insects are the buffalo fiies"; they move in myriads, and so violent and painful are their assaults upon horses that herd of the latter has been known to stampede as the result of an attack from swarm of these flies. -
 But here again is furnished what some reasoners would affirm is evidence of the external fitness of things.' In most localities where these flies are found in troublesome numbers, there are also found focks of starlings, 8 species of blackbird {; these, more, I presume, to obtain @ livelihood than to become the defender of the helpless, perch themselves upon the backs of the animals, when woe betide the hapless gadfy who ventures near, only to become choice morseI for the starling. In this way I have seen our herds of cavalry horses grazing un- disturbed, each horse of the many hun dreds having perched upon his back from one to dozens of starlings, standing guard over him while he grazed.

Romance.

Oh she was maid of a laughing eye. And she lived in garret cold and high, And he was threadbare whiskered beau, And he lived in a cellar damp and low, But the rosy boy of the cherub wing Hath many shaft for his slender string; And the youth below, and the maid above. Were touched by the flaming darts of love. And she would wake from her troubled sleep Der his tender billet-doux to weep; Or stand like statue, cold and fair, And gaze on a lock of his bright red hair. And he who was late so tall and proud, With his step so firm and hls laugh so loud, His beard grew long, and his face grew thin, As he pined in solitude over his gin.
 But one soft night, in the month Of June As she lay in the light of a cloudless moon, A voice came floating soft and clear.
 To tine startled maiden's listening ear. < o then from her creaking couch she sprang, And her tangled tresses back she flung; She looked from the window far below, And he stood beneath-her whiskered man l. She did not start with foolish frown, But packed her trunk and scampered down, And there was her lover, tall and true, In his threadbare coat of it's brightest blue. The star that rose in the evening shade, Looked sadly down on weeping maid The sun that came in his morning pride, Shed golden light on laughing bride!

ADRoIr RoaUEs.-A hat and fur dealer in Boston was recently victimized by two rogues. The fellows were in the store at the same time, and while one was negotiating with the man in at tendence for the purchase of a hat, the other seized Russian sable cape, worth about $75, and left with it. 'sHas that fellow stolen anything from you ?' asked the buyer, coming to the front of the store with the hat he had been examiu- ing on his head. "Yes," said the sales- man, " he has stolen sable cape.' "I think I can catch him." said thief No. 2, and suiting the action to the word, he was gone in twinkling, and never eame blek,

Is DEAD.-Carroll Sanborn, the re- nowned burglar, is dead. He breathed his last in the jail at Lawrence, Mass. Early in October, Sanborn got mortal wound in fight with constable named Donovan. The latter was bent on arrest ing his man, and succeeded. It is said that Sanborn made friends of all who ap- preached him while in jail, and that he gave up freely all the property he had stolen. He seems altogether to have been a singular character. In all re- spects, save his mania for burglary, he lived pure and even an exemplary life. He touched no intoxicating drink and no tobacco. He was scrupulously faithful to his wife and tenderly attached to his family. His clergyman and physician concur in extolling his amiable and att tractive disposition and gentlemanly manners. They say that he really did not care to accumulate wealth, and had none but kindly feelings for his fellow men. His sole fault was his inextinguish- able passion for midnight burglary, 8 form of colossal kleptomania, which, strive as he might, he. could not control. The unhappy man escaped the last dis grace of being doomed to the State Pris- on. He pleaded guilty to the charges against him in the Superior Court but he died in the arms of his wife before the Bench had time to pronounce his sen tence,.

How to Carve a Turkey.

The gentleman who does the carving firmly takes the carving-knife in his right hand, then picks up the steel and sharp ems the knife little thereon then- with the left hand, takes the fork and inserts 1t in the breast of the turkey, one tine each side of the breast-bone, just about where the highest point is. With the turkey on it's back with the fork well in the breast of the bird /; with the head of the turkey toward his left hand-without any fussing, spattering, haggling, or saw ing-he cuts of the first joint of the wing farthest from him. Then he cuts away the second joint, giving fair play and full sweep to the knife, when comes the work of shaving from the breast. After the wing be cut and carved, with a nice dexterous movement he cuts off the first joint of the leg, letting the drum stick fall neatly down upon the side of the platter then he slaves off three or four slices from the second joint, that there may be enough dark meat to go around. Then he cuts the second joint out, all in 8 nice, artistic manner, being careful not to take out the fork or loosen his hold thereon.
 After he has taken off the wing and the leg and duly carved them, he lifts the turkey, changes ends with it, and serves the other side ia the same way, taking care not to spatter the gravy or flip the dressing all over the table and into the laps of the guests. After the limbs have been cut away, in thin slices he slaves the breast down with the point of the knife carving out all those little tid-bits which people of good taste generally like. Then he cuts into the dressing, and, if he pleases, follows up the work of dissecting without having taken the fork from the breast-bone till the bird is completely disjointed. In order to do this we'll, he must have a steady hand, sharp knife !; one with stiff back preferred. The point wants to be keen and substantial. He must do the work quickly-in less time than has been occupied in writing this much of this article.
 Then he asks the first lady on his right what part of the turkey she prefers if she will have it with or without dressing, gravy, &c., &c. When she is helped he asks the first lady on his left and helps her; then the second lady on his right :; then the second lady on his left, and so on to the foot of the table. He then helps the gentlemen in the same man. ner assisting his wife Cf he has one), who should be seated at the foot of the table, last of all, excepting himself.
 Never cut a. turkey or meat of any kind in chunks always cut it in slices. Never undertake to carve with 8 case knife, or dull knife, or one Timber like piece of tin, for such a performance will only secure for you the name of a 's5otch" and for your guests any quantity of grease-spots and just cause for com plaint.

BUYING HOTEL. In his Washington correspondence, "Gath flows over the rim in this style "Did you hear of that chap who attended the sale of hotel recently at town in Ohio He hadn't cent in his pocket, but he stood up and bid boldly, 'Twenty-eight thousand dol lars.' It was knocked down to him, and when the question was asked, Who is the purchaser ? this audacious scamp re- piled, 'The Pennsylvania Railroad. Of course he was not required in person to put up the money from an imperial buyer like that, whereby he was able, in the course of couple of days, to sell the whole to another party for thirty five thousand dollars, and clear the diff ference. The country is now full of scamps buying hotels for the Pennsylva- mia Railroad"

LIQUOR DR1NK1Na.-In the United Kingdom, in 1870. there were 150, ,599 taverns. In that year the sum of s112,- SS5, 6O3 was spent for drinks, which was a larger amount by more than e20, 900 than was spent in 1S5S-61. There was one seller of liquor to every 33 houses. The amount of grain consumed to pro duce the drinks in 1869 was 62,772, ,572 bushels. This it is estimated would, if made intobread, have produced enough loaves to pave road ten yards wide more than 1 800 miles long. So says the Rev. O. H. yibbart (es quoted in the Boston JvaraGF

. How NEW JERSEY Cor Our OF THE UNIoN.-The origin of the allusions to New Jersey as foreign country is said to be as follows: After the downfall of the first Napoleon, his brother Joseph,
 who had been King of Spain, and his nephew, Prince Murat, son of the King of Italy, sought refuge in this country, and brought much wealth with them.
 Joseph Bonaparte wished to build pala- tial residence here, but did not desire to become citizen, as he hoped to return to Europe. To enable him as an alien to hold real estate required special act of the Legislature. He tried to get one passed for his benefit in several states, but failed. He was much chagrined, es- pecially because Pennsylvania refused. After this he applied to the New Jersey Legislature, which body granted both him and Murat the privilege of purchas- ing land. They bought a track at Bor, dentown, and built magnificent dwell ings, and fitted them up in the most costly manner. Rare paintings, statu. ary, &c., were profuse, and selected with care, and the grounds laid out with exquisite taste.
