A Poor Dishwasher Inherits Sc, OOO, 900.

One George Woodruff was, the other
day, dirty, greasy, impecunious dish
washer at fourth-rate San Francisco
restaurant to-day he is a millionaire
a six millionaire, in fact. One day,
while reading q morning newspaper, his
attention was attracted to an advertise
ment headed PERSONAL stating that
one Of his name would find it to his adj
vantage to address a certain party in
New York. The name was familiar to
him, and he concluded to answer the
He did so, giving his
address, and in due time received a
letter stating that his uncle had died in
New York, leaving property to the
of 100000, which the deceased
had willed to him. He was astonished,
and could hardly believe that the news
was true until it was confirmed. Upon
the confirmation he cast off his greasy
clothes, and forsaking the sacred pre-
cincts of the kitchen he donned new
raiment and dpartcd for his estate in
New York.

The PeriIs OF o cean Travel.

The New York World, writing of the
inability Of ocean steamers to save their
passengers by the small boats in case Of
disaster, says there is hardly a steamer
adoat that could save half those on
board. Within a few days one came
into harbor at New York, carrying
LOO passengers. If any accident had
occurred, compelling them to take
refuge in the boats, not over 700 could
by any possible means have found
places in them, and the owners and
officers allowed her to 90 to sea, know
ing that 1000 lives would inevitably be
lost, if no other steamer was at hand
to give aid, in case of an accident. Even
the crafts" which vessels usually claim
to be supplied with, ara often so cheap
ly and poorly constructed as to be Of no
use whatever, as in case Of the Nets,
whose raft could not be lowered. 1t is
surely time that laws, which could not
be avoided or misunderstood, should
be passed, in order that the fatal eff.
fects of ocean accidents might be les.

Ingenious Device Of a Nevada Sports
man.

Alexander Hammil, of Silver City,
Lyon county, day before yesterday per
formed a most ingenious experiment
with q United States breech- loading
rifle, with which he had previously
been practising by firing at target. 1t
appears that he in some manner got
two sets Of cartridges into the gun, and
discovering this to be the situation, he
did not care to fire off the double
charge. Having duly studied over the
matter, he took the gun to blacksmith
shop, screwed the barrel fast in vice,
and then, opening the breech, be
picked out all the powder till he came
TO the lower ball. Then he heated an
iron rod red hot, and with it commenced
to melt the ball out.
By frequently heating the rod be sue
ceeded admirably till he melted hole
clear through the ball and touched the
powder of the cartridge beyond, when
there was a sharp and unexpected ex-
plosion. 1t shot both ways, one ball
going out at the muzzle and the other
at the rear. The ball which came out
in the rear took but a small piece out of
Alexis cheek, and DR.. Kirby has every
confidence that the poultice in which
Mr.. Alexis head is now bound up will
draw out the ounce or two Of powder
blown into his face. Aleck is as yet
undecided as to whether the expert
ment in melting out the bullets was a
grand success or disastrous failure
but he swears his plan was most inge.

The Metric System.

At a late meeting of the British AS.
ISOLATION Sir John Bowring stated that
another great stride has been made to-
wards the attainment of uniformity in
the weights, measures and coins of our
countries, by the passing of law in
Austria, in June, 1871, rendering the
use of metric weights and measures
permissive from the lst of January,
1873, and compulsory from the lst Of
January, 1876. The metric system is
gradually ditiusing itself all over Eu-
rope. AT this moment fully two-thirds
of that continent, measured by popU-
lation, have adopted the metric system
of weights and measures, and the other
third has manifested sufficient interest
in the question 10 justify the expecta'
ton of its early adhesion to the general
agreement. But in this third there are
comprised Russia and England, two
countries which, by their poI ulation
and commerce., exercise an enormous
influence in the whole world. At this
moment, in Europe alone, nearly 20O,-
100000 people have already recognized
the metric system as the international
method Of measures and weights, l6O,-
100000 of whom had adopted it in
compulsory manner. Should Russia
and England finally place their legisla-
tion on the same footing, the other
smaller States will certainly follow, and
Europe will have attained perfect unity
as regards weights and measures. But
in other parts of the world also consid-
cradle progress has been made. In
Asia, the whole of India may be said to
have adopted the metric system, though
some time may elapse before the act
passed by the Indian Government can
be carried into operation. In America,
the United States have introduced it
permissively whilst Brazil, Chill, Mex
leo, Grenada, and other American Re-
publics have adopted the metric iystem
absolutely.

One Of the most terrible accidents we
have ever been called upon to chronicle
occurred in this village on Sunday
morning last, by which Lorenzo T.
Payne, of New Albion, lost his life.
Between | and . o'clock Sunday morn.
Mr.. Payne started to go home. He was
here with horse attached 10 a sulky,
and as he was getting into the vehicle
his foot slipped and caught in the wheel
or the springs. At the same time the
horse started, and Mr.. Payne's body
was thrown between the thiils and hung
there, dangling between the horses
heels, his head dragging upon the
ground. The horse started near Nc
Cures saloon, and ran toward the
Rock City Hotel, where it turned and
ran around the hay scales, and then
straight across the street and down
Railroad avenue. Several parties in
the vicinity of the saloon and hotel
made fruitless efforts to stop TIE fright
ened horse. The animal kept in the
middle of the street down to Thomas
Hotel, where it took to the sidewalk
and followed it TO near the depot.
There it turned to the lett and ran up
the switch to the main track, which
it followed to the crossing near Beech.
dale Park, jumping the cattle guard at
the crossing, but stopping at the culvert
beyond. The parties who had witnessed
the starting of the horse followed as
fast as they could, only to find the life.
less form Of Mr.. Payne still hanging 10
the i'll fated sulky. He was quite dead,
and his body was carried inside the
Beechdale Park, where it lay until the
Coroner's inquest had been held. From
the chin upwards, all the features were
entirely obliterated; the top of the
head was torn of. Sunday morning
the course of the runaway horse could
be distinctly traced from the spot where
it struck the track, by the blood that
spattered the ties and the stones. The
legs and arms were badly broken, and
the body was mass of bruised flesh

Soap Babies.

There are philosophical results TO be
obtained from the scccessful blowing of
soap bubbles, and we therefore cheer
fully recommend the following direc-
tons for their manufacture to the at
tention of our young readers Take
three. quarters of pint Of water that
has been boiled and become cold, and
put into it an ounce of CASTLE soap, cut
up fine. Put this into pint bottle,
and set it on a saucepan on the fire;
there let it remain an hour or so, now
and then giving it good shaking till
the soap is dissolved. Let the fluid
stand quiet for the impurities and col.
oring matter Of the soap to settle; then
pour Off the fluid and add to It four
ounces Of glycerine and your soap-bub.
BILE solution is ready. In an ordinary
way you may blow the bubbles easily
with a tobacco pipe, but if you wish to
obtain a scientific perfection, glass
pipe can be employed with better sue
cess. BY adding larger quantity of
glycerine, you may make these bubbles
SO strong that you can play battledore
with them.
