There has been, on an average, one man,
woman, boy or girl killed by "ruuaways" in
the streets of Chicago every day thus far this
year.
A Pennsylvania paper asks us TO believe that
in tearing down barn, recently, the tracks
made by a bare footed boy when the barn was
built, siXty-two years BEFORE were still distinctly
visible on some Of the boards beneath the roof,
shape of the foot, prints of the toes and every
thing.
The Constantine (Mich.) Mercury says that
the wheat of that section is not equal in quality
to that of last year. Its average weight to the
bushel is ffiy-eight pounds; last year it was
SiXty-two.
The total number Of passengers leaving New
York by steamer for Europe from April l to
July 81 amounted to 1S,30S. II is estimated
that $40 would be the fair average expense for
the round trip, thus making S3112,S6O as the
sum required for the out and home passages OF
those persons who have crossed the Atlantic
this spring and summer
A correspondent of the American Rural Home
on the way from Decatur to ,CassopOlis, Mich,
passed a farm surrounded by an immense hedge
of black walnut trees. Its owner on taking
up" the land had ploughed a furrow round his
eighty acres, in which he dropped black walnuts
that now had grown to large sized trees. 1t

"Big joe is the name given to famous
grizzly that roams at will in the mountains this

he is one of the largest of his species. Parties
who have measured his track say it is fully
eighteen inches in width. number of men
who have made the hunting of grizzlies bust
ness for several seasons have seen the monster,
| but concluded they did not want him. In other
words, they were "not for joe"

LIFE IN A ROLLING MILL.-A newspaper cor

"The weather is warm, and the subject likely

that one hall OF the world does not know how

Improbable TO discover it. Away from home

who receives her kindly, and asks after her err

and says;
'Is it thou who hast written those fine Mar

LONDON STREET SCENE.-A writer in the
South London Press tells the following amusing
story;
The scientific explanations one hears in the
streets are sometimes worthy OF being recorded
mot for their scientific value but for their
originality. CHANGING to be in the WalwOrth
road few evenings ago, noticed an itnerant
professor of electricity who had evidently got
hold of tough customer. The latter was a
stolid-looking individual who grasped the han
dies of the machine with the determination to
have, as he expressed it, his "full ha'pyrth."
Whether there was "screw loose" in the APP
paratus, or whether the man possessed nerves
OF more than ordinary power, | know not; but
some how or other the electricity had no effect
upon him. The professor kept piling up the
agony, but with no effect. "Don't you feel it
been put on. mo, don't feel nothing" was
the placid response Another turn. ''Now
don't you feel it?" "No," was still the reply.
The professor looked bewildered He had put
on all the power the machine was capable of
aid with no result, Such q thing had never
happened before. What was to be doneI He
had stood at the corner of that street for two
years, and his credit was at stake. At last his
countenance frightened. A happy thought.
Lets look at your feet" said he. The patient
complied by holding up one foot. "Ah,
thought sol" said the professor triumphantly.
You might stand there until you were blue in
the face, and not feel nothing. Leather'S nom
conductor don't you know; but you've got
such great hole in your shoe that as fast as
the electricity comes in at your hands it goes
out at your feet You go and get your shoes
mended and come again."

PLoUGHIEG SToEEHENGE.--A writer to the

there are two small mounds, which seem IN

meridian line of Stonehenge passes precisely
through the middle of the Cursus. This Cursus

RUSSIAN OFFICIAL CoRRUPTIoN.-A CORE
spondent of the Chicago Tribune says that the
following fraud was practised upon the Car
Alexander while yet crown prince. There was
a certain fortress placed on the military map of
the Caucasus. The crown prince, on visiting
this latter country, expressed to Prince Woron-
Zotf, the commanding general, his desire to visit
said fortress. The general himself, who had
never seen the fortress, addressed himself to the
chief engineer, who informed him that the fort
ress existed only on the map. How to dissuade
the crown prince from his notion to visit the
mythical fort was not an easy task. The general
resorUed first to the strategy Of frightening back
the crown prince by the story Of the fort being
in the centre of a very dangerous band of
maraudng Circassians; but, when this did
not have the desired effect, he at last impro-
vised sham attack by a division of his
Russian soldiers turned into Circassians,
and stationed on the imaginary route to the
fort. The sham fight lasted for an hour or so,
at the end of which time the prince was CON
graduated by the commanding general for his
great bravery in the terrible fight, There was
great many sham deaths on both the Russian
and Circassian side, and many were the decora-
tons which the Emperor Nicholas father of the
imperial prince, distributed at the latter's
recommendation, among officers and soldiers
who took part in this expedition. Only some
years afterwards was the deception exposed
through an officer who had fallen out with Gen.
Woronzof The millions that had been drawn
from the imperial treasury for the erection of a
fortress in the conquered country, went into the
pockets Of the Typographical chief engineer and
his assistants, | have the above from Russian
and not Polish source, and from gentleman
who was himself an officer in the army. OF
course it has meyer been published for the
vigilant eye of thecensor would never have per-
mitted it.
