A good story is told Of q writer for al
English penny magazine, who, in con
sideration of thirty shillings a week,
was furnishing cheerful serial, wherein
the proneness of the characters to COM
init crimes in the first chapter was only
equaled by their promptitude in meet
ing violent deaths in the last. This
apprentice lacerator of the popular sen.
sibilities didn't put pepper enough in
his cream tarts to suit the editor, so he
was told one fine Tuesday that his SER
vices would not be required after the
end of the week. Burning to avenge
himself of his enemy, he gathered all
the characters of his story on board a
frigate, steamed out fifty miles from
land, set fire to the magazine and blew
hero, heroine, heavy villain, minor per.
scnages, all, into eternity. Then he
wrote at the bottom, "To be continued
next week." drew his thirty shillings
and left the Office with a sweet smile.
The next incomer was man OF genius
and fertile in expedients, SO he sent out
yacht with lot of new characters on
board, which picked up all the persons
essential to the plot after the explosion,
and on went the story, as merry as a
marriage bell.

Persons who prot ess to have lost all
faith in poor humanity" may take a
crumb of comfort from the experience
of a Mr.. Hirsch, who is at present a
resident of Louisville, Ky. About
seventeen years ago, this gentleman be.
friended young man named Sonnen-
berger by advancing him, on his per-
sonal security, goods to the amount OF
$3.50. Sonnenberger was to have gone
on Southern tour with peddler's
pack, but instead of SO doing took ship
for California. At the lsthmus of
Panama, he met the brother Of his
benefactor, from whom he obtained the
loan of a mule 20 transport his goods.
Nothing further was heard of him up to
a recent date, when letter came to
Mr.. Hirsch announcing that his former
protege, after q weary pilgrimage over
the world, had at last found fortune in
the diamond mines of South Africa, and
was now DESTROYS of paying the amount
of his Indebtedness, principal and in.
terest. Cases OF this kind, although OF
rare occurrence, have q tendency to
show that a chain of untoward events
has often prevented many an honest
fellow from giving practical evidence Of
gratitude for acts of kindness rendered.

Bristol, in Tennessee and Virginia,
is an anomaly among towns. 1t has q
population of only 5000, but is located
in two States, the line passing near the
centre of the main street. The rogues
and lawless know where it is to an inch.
The line used to be deeply venerated,
and in former years it would have been
considered a symptom of the decay Of
the Republic for Tennessee constable
to cross the street on the sidewalk, on
the sacred soil of Virginia, to arrest
criminal. But the line is not now re-
garded with tender generation. When
a man kills another and steps over the
lines for protection, the officers step
after him and fetch him back; killing
is, consequently, not SO popular as for
merly. Each side Of toe line has a
separate Mayor and Board Of Aldermen,
and regulates its own affairs in the
sense contemplated by the constitution.
There are two papers published, one on
each side of the line. Each side also
has its own schools and churches.

Ph0sphOrOus BrOnzes.

A great advance has lately been made
in the construction of bronzes by the
addition of small percentage Of phos-
phorus, although the precise function
of this substance has not been hitherto
we'll understood. According to Levi
and Kunzel, however, one cause Of the
inferiority in bronze consists in the
constant presence of traces of tin in
the state of an oxide, which acts me-
chemically by separating the molecules
of the alloy, thus interposing sub.
stance which in itself has no tenacity.
The addition of phosphorus reduces
this oxide, and renders the alloy much
more perfect, improving its color, its
tenacity, and all its physical properties.
The grain of its fracture resembles more
that Of steel, its elasticity is much aug
mented, and its resistance to pressure
sometimes more than doubled. Its
durability is greater, and, when melted,
it is Of greater fiuidity, and fills the
mould in its finest details.

A manifesto has been issued by the
Count de Chambord to the French peo-
pie. The Count claims as of yore the
right divine, and says: II shall never
abdicate my claim to the throne of
France. shall never forsake the mon
archical principle, which have pre-
served intact for forty years, and which
is the best hope of frances greatness
and liberties. Cesarism and anarchy
threaten France because her salvation
is sought in personal questions and not
in principles. shall ever uphold the
flag of France and aid in restoring the
ancient prestige of her armies. The
happiness of France is my only ambi-
ton, and l will never consent to become
revolutionist when l am the legiti-
mate King.

necessary to vacate the apartment after
stopping up the openings, and placing
in different parts of the room several
plates containing quantity Of common
salt on which little vitriol has been
poured. The vapor Of chlorine will be
instantly evolved, and will annihilate
all infection with which it comes in
contact. 1t may be used even in rooms
containing sick persons, If the quantity
evolved be SO slight as not to incon-
venience the lungs of the patients.

The benevolent ladies of Newark, N.
j., have established a day nursery for
children under the age Of five years,
with view of benefting mothers who
cannot afford the luxury of female
help" and who may wish to spend q
day in shopping or visiting friends,
without being burdened with infants.
The cost per week, including Sunday,
is not to exceed seventy cents. Mrs.
Booths baby nursery in London is re
ported to have been great success until,
by mischance, one Of the babies fell
from its manger, and was 20 severely in
jured that death soon followed. Mothers
are apt to lose confidence in an "insti.
tuition" where the lives Of their off.
spring are endangered, and unless the
Newark ladies provide wire MEETINGS, or
cages, for the care Of the little ones,
their success is not likely to be Of long
duration.

At Philadelphia, on Monday after
noon, while workmen were excavating
cellar, they dug up number of gold
coins, which were wrapped in brown
paper, and are supposed to have been
placed there by a collector of old coins.
Some are very ancient. One of them,
the intrinsic value of which is about
$40, has upon it the letters +. V. A.,
and Immediately under them the num-
bers I, 4, !, separated by raised lines.
The characters upon. it are two lions
and two castles. The coin is roughly
made, and seems to have been struck
upon die, the coiner using hammer.
Another of the coins, about as large in
diameter as the halfdollar of the
United States, but not as thick, has
upon it representation of the head of
Ferdinand vi. of Spain, the date being
l749. One of the boys secured twelve
or fifteen of the pieces, Of various kinds,
and another almost as many. About
$500 worth in gold were gathered up.
The oldest piece having date upon it
was made in the year 1878. The Span
ish coin is in excellent condition, the
soil being sandy, and the paper in
which they were wrapt we'll preserved.
