ORIGIN OF TINTED PAPER.

More novelties are the result of acct.
dent than is generally supposed. The
origin of blue-tinted paper came about by
. mere slip Of the hand. William East,
an English paper maker once upon time
set his men to work, and went away on
business. While the men were at dinner,
Mrs. East accidentally let a blne-bag fall
into one of the watts of pulp. Alarmed
at tho occurrence, she determined to say
nothing about II. Great was the astonish-
ment Of the workmen when they saw the
peculiar color of the paper, and great
the anger Of Mr.. East when he returned
and found that a whole vat Of pulp had
been spoiled. After giving the paper
made from 1t warehouse room for four
years. Mr.. East sent it up 10 his agent In
London, TO be sold for what II would
fetch" "For what IL would fetch" said
the agent, not understanding the mean
ing; swell, IL certainly is a novelty, but
he must not expect too much" SO he
sold the whole at considerable advance
upon the market price, and wrote to the
mills for as much more rs he could get.
rhe surprise Of Mr.. East may be imag.
ined. He fastened to tell his wife, who
found courage 10 confess her share in the
fortunate accident and to claim reward,
which she received in the shape of n new
cloak. Mr.. East kept his secret, and for u
short time supplied the market with the
novel tint, until the demand far exceeded
the supply, and other makers, discovering
tho means used, competed with him.

Ono night We visited the circus. ani he WAS in

youthful athlete. ''Now, that boy, with Ill his

I have before related our call on Henry Clay,
in 1861 when he WAS stopping at tho American
Measures, which Clay advocated, and the IA
nous Pierre Soulo, OF Louisana, violently op
posed. I praised soule's abilities, which Mr..
Clay at once denied, ending with the e1c1.ma-
ton: sHe is nothing but actor, Ell" }" when,
suddenly reco11ocsing that the great tragedian
was present, he added quickly: II mean q
French actor, Nr. Forrest" AS we passed down
stairs after the interview Forrest laughed very
heartily rs he said: Sand think tho best actor
of the two was tho old man himself"
Once few Of us wero asked to dine with .
man about town, and when we reached tho
rooms, at tho sppointed time, we found our host
had forgotten !::s invitation. We did not remind
him of lis neglect, but sought our homes, wi,er

But nevertheless re have few things to learn,
and among them is how to make, not house,

house can be made in the midst Of highly COM

walls will melt or crumblo into duat if not from

Therefore, to be 6re-proof in our Own build

A few nights since tho locomotive Of train
on the FenaBylyania Railroad was run between
Pittsburgh and Altoona by an engineer who had,
unlnowing1y to tho conductor, become consid-
erably intoxicatad in the former city. At times,
at tie most dangerous places, the man put the
engine to its utmost teEt-forty-ire and fifty
miles m hour. But whenever he aaw red light
lie reversed the locomotive, an3 brought into
operation the patent air-brake. Tho. stoprasee

painful arnazemcnt. The conductor had become
informed Of the ngineer's condition, but he
could find no one to wlo4n he could entrust the
responsibility of running the train. He atudi-
ously kept his secret from the passcngors lest
its Infringement would fill them with terror.
notwithstanding the dangerous hands in which
probably hundred lives had been placed, the
train reached the end of the engineers run
With safety. It is needless to add that the
