EGYPTIAN BRIcKs.-The German sa-
van has been to work again, and the re-
suit this time is very extraordinary
He subjected brick taken from the
pyramid Of Dashour to the microscope,
and, it is said, has discovered many in
teresting particulars connected with the
life of the ancient Egyptians. The
brick itself is made of the mud of the
Nile, chopped straw and sand, thus con-
frming what the Bible and Herodotus
have handed down to us as to the Egypt
ian method of brick-making. Besides
these materials the microscope has bro't
other things to light, among them the
debris Of river shells, of fish and insects,
seeds of wild and cultivated flowers,
corn and barley, the field pea, the CON-
mon fax and the radish, together with
many others known to science. The IT.
repressible savan is indefatigable, and
it would not at all surprise us if he
found some means of extracting the seeds
from the bricks and after planting them
treat their countrymen to pea soup and
radishes from the pyramids. Nothing
would surprise us from the hands of the
| German savan.-B0stom Globe.

A woman called at grocery store on
Thursday and made some purchases,
paying cash therefor. An hour or two
afterward she returned in some agitation,
inquiring if pocket-book had been
seen she had lost hers and hoped they
had found it. Nothing had been seen
of it, and a search was instituted, when
the lost article was found behind bar
rel in front of the counter. Another
half hour passed and again she appeared,
this time asking if any one had tamper-
ed with her pocket book while it was at
the store, as the money was not all there.
.How much is missing?" inquired the
trader. lone cent" was the reply.
..Here john" said the storekeeper, 'give
this lady cent from the drawer" She
took it and went ON her way rejoicing.
Later.-next day we understand the
woman brought back the money, saying
she had bought cents worth of Fair
pins the day before, and forgot it when
she missed the pocket-book.-Sdtem

WILLIAM B. AsroR's CAsTLB.-In
viewing William B. Astor's present res
idence in Lafayette place, / am forcibly
reminded either of an asylum or Jail.
The occupant has long been troubled
with the fear of robbery, which may
not be far from a streak of lunacy. He
carries but little money in his pockets
and l doubt if he has any jewelry still
less bonds, in his house. The "cracks-
men, are not apt to rob such places,
for they reason too correctly from mems
habits. But Mr.. Astor has converted
his house into place of defence, which,
as I said, suggests to a stranger that it
may be jail or lunatic asylum. The
basement windows are protected by
heavy gratlngs. These, however, are
common in first class houses The porch
is of heavy freestone, and this is the
only relief to the plain brick front,
whose breadth and height additionally
suggest the idea of an asylum. The
parlors on the first floor, as | am told,
have sliding shutters of iron, and these
can be closed at night and then be open
ed by day in such manner as to be ut
terly concealed. The second-story win
dows have gratings ; not of half length,
as in the case of nunneries, but reach
ing from top to bottom. These will ef-
fectually defeat the entrance of any one
who might climb a gutter or reach his
height in any manner. The third story
is unprotected, and in case a robber
should descend in balloon, an entrance
could easily be effected. [ make this
suggestion in order that the lunatic cap
italist may at once adopt suitable pre-
caution. Boston Globe.

NOW AND THEN.

The day after the Baltimore Conven-
tion had nominated Greeley and Brown,
Mr.. Greeley came out in his Tribune
with a jubilant article in which he CON-
plimented the Democratic Convention
for betraying its trust and stultifying
its party, as follows:
1.-The Democratic party has gained
triumph over itself which is worth more
than any material advantage which can
ever be reaped at the polls Having
thus assigned to that party the moral
share as its portion of the spoils of vic
tory to be obtained by the election of
the new ticket, the Philosopher went on
to estimate the chances of success, and
came to the happy and exultant conclu-
sion that 1--WE are surrounded by omens
of victory" % 'It is difficult to
see how any further doubt can rest on
the issue of the campaign"
Since that triumphant record of vic
tory in advance, two short months have
scarcely elapsed, and Mr.. Greeley now
sings different tune. His peans of
rejoicing are now changed to mournful
lamentations, as he beholds his airy
visions of success dissolving like sunset
clouds. His visit sdown East has
taught him that eall is not gold that
glitters," and both in Rhode Island and
in New Hampshire he has learned tnat
there are twice as many shells as clans.
The skeleton of an old organization
in North Carolina has risen before him
and frightened him with its CHASTITY
grin. The same fearful apparition has
fitted before his eyes in West Virginia,
and he breads to look for the ''star in
the East" in Maine, lest the same hated
skeleton should appear to him there.
A veritable nightmare has come over
his Tribune since his return from his
Eastern tour; and after denouncing fire.

BORN DRUNK.-Among the names
registered at the Tombs the other night
was that of a youth about Is years of
age, who had been arrested for drunken
ness. But he was not drunk nor had
he been drinking. He was, moreover,
in good, sound health, but gave all the
external indications of being intoxica-
ted when arrested by a police officer.
Upon protesting to the keeper of the
Tombs that he was not intoxicated, it
was revealed that the unfortunate youth
had been born a natural drunkard, OF
rather that he had always acted like
such thing. He said that although
in good health, he had never been able
to walk without staggering. His speech
was not unlike that q persons in de-
cided state of intoxication, and when
excited he would mutter and reel. The
unfortunate youth was detained until
the next day, and was not sent to the
Courts to be gazed at through judicial
spectacles.
A subsequent investigation of the
case proved that the lad had been tell
ing the truth about himself, but his con-
dition revealed demonstration Of the
natural law that the child is very fair
copy of his parent. 1t appears that
prior to marriage the father had been a
secret but confirmed inebriate, and when
the facts became known to the woman
thus suddenly and unexpectedly, she
wept in a most terrible manner. AL
most heart-broken, she contemplated the
future misery in store for her. Months
passed away, when it was discovered
that the child, at three years of age,
acted strapgs; and at the end of six
months the unhappy woman fully real
lied all Refsforebodings. The effect
produced upon the mother was not with
out its influence upon the father, how
ever. Realizing in the midst of tears
of bitter anguish, the sin that had been
visited upon the clild, the man reformed.
He has now several bright children, and
most exemplary ones, too, they are
But the boy that was brought into the
Tombs was not drunk, but had entailed
upon him life of misery, as it was a
blasted destiny.-N. 7. Tribune.

Gratis would feel somewhat disgusted
and lukewarm in his cause, when he
told them, as in July last, that they
must be contented with the moral share
of the expected victory; but the Port
land assurance must certainly have made
alnends for all that, and econciled"
them, if anything would. 1t must be
that they have lost faith in the success
of the old white hat and coat, and do
not believe the second Franklin" will
have any spoils to divide.

THE KEY OF DEATH.

The following singular tradition is
related of key in collection of curl
osities presented in the arsenal at Venice.
About the year of 1000 one of those
dangerous men in whom extraordinary
talent is only the fearful source of crime
and wickedness beyond that of ordinary
men, came to establish himself as a
merchant, or trader, in Venice. The
stranger, whose name was Tebaldo, be-
came enamored of the daughter of an
ancient house, already afianced to an
other He demanded her hand in mar
riage, and was, of course, rejected. En-
ragged at this, he studied how to be re-
venged. Profoundly skilled in the me-
sehanical arts, he allowed himself no
rest until he had invented the most
formidable weapon that could be imag-
ined. This was key of a large size,
the handle of which was so constructed
that it could be turned down with little
difficulty. When turned it disclosed a
spring, which, on pressure, launched
from the other end a needle or lancet of
such fineness that it entered the flesh
and buried itself there without leaving
any external trace.
Tcbaldo waited at the door of the
church, in which the maiden whom be
loved was about to receive the nuptial
benediction The assassin sent the
slender steel unperceived into the breast
of the unsuspecting bridegroom. The
wounded man had no suspicious of in
jury, but seized with sharp and sudder
pain in the midst of the ceremony, h,
tainted, and was carried to his Owl
house amid the lamentations of the bri
dal party. Vain was all the skill of tn,
physicians, who could not divine tn,
cause of this strange illness, and in
few days he died.
Tebaldo again demanded the hand 0
the maiden from her parents, and re
ceived second refusal they too, per
ished miserably in few days.
The alarm that these deaths. whicl
appeared almost miraculous, occasioned
excited the utmost vigilance of the mag
istrates and when, on examination 9
the bodies, the smallest instrument wa
, found in the gangrened flesh, the terro
was universal every one feared for hi
own life. The maiden thus orphane
! had passed the first month of mournin
in a convent, when Tebaldo, hoping
6 bend her to his will, entreated to spea
, with her at the gate. Her reply Wa
] decisively in the negative.
Tebaldo, beside himself with rag
attempted to wound her through tt
gate, and succeeded. The obscurity
the place prevented his actions from b.
ing observed. On her return to b,
room the maiden felt pain in her breas
and, uncovering it, she found upon it
y single drop of blood. The pain increa
f ed and the surgeons who fastened
] her assistance, taught by the past, was
y ed no time in conjecture, but cuttir
: deep into the wounded part, extricatt
8 the needle before any mortal mischi
: had commenced, and saved the life
4 the lady. The State inquisition used e
+ cry means to discover the hand tn
dealt so insidious and irresistible blow
,, The visit of Tebaldo to the gate cause
n suspicion to fall heavily upon him.
v His house was carefully searche

he perished on the gibbet.

BARRIERS should frequently wash their
hands. A stranger, whose nose had
been gripped for the eighth time by the
offensive fingers of his tonsorial manager,
blew the soap from his mouth, and sud
denly inquired: "Was the body iden-
tilted % "What body ?" asked the
startled shaver. "What body 2" re-
peated the stranger in surprise. "Why,
haven't you been on coroner's jury ?"
