AN UMBRELLA AS PRopERrY.

AN UMBRELLA AS PROPERTY. Ap in
cideut that beiell a recent traveller on New
Hampshire railroad, is thus told by the Ports
mouth Chronicte: "He had occasion to get
out of the Car at New Market junction, leay-
ing his umbrella lying across the seat he had
vacated. Returning. two nicely-dressed ladies
sat in the seat ahead, and as he resumed his
sitting, one of them said: You may pass me
that umbrella, if you please He replied, Is
this your umbrella, madame. Il will take
charge of it, said she, and the accommodating
gentleman passed his umbrella over to the
lady. Then pause. Now, If you please,
suggested the gentleman, Il viii trouble you to
return my umbrella. It's silk one and a
good one, Ipaid just $40 for it, and I'd dis
like very much to part with it, The passen-
gers by this time had become interested in
the conversation, and as the umbrella was re-
turned to its owner, the lady who had shown
such a peculiar interest in it was observed to
flush deeply, while the owner regretted that
he h;,d found it necessary to rebuke her."

A GOVERNOR HoAxED. Besides being
arrested for violating the game laws of Kan
sas, Governor Woodson of Missouri has other
troubles. The Chicago Post thus tells Of one
OF them: ga few days ago the superinten-
dent of the workhouse in st. Louis received
from the governor pardon for one William
Mulligan, convicted at the April term of the
Criminal Court Upon examination and in
quiry the superintendent ascertained that
there was no person by the name of Mulligan
in the institution, and furthermore, that there
had been no April term of the court, and con-
sequently that Mr.. Mulligan could not have
been sentenced thereat. The governor, it ap-
pears, has been sadly hoaxed, and the plain
deduction from the fact would seem to be
that mode of procuring pardons that renders
such a hoax possible, "a mode wherein the court
which sentences and the prison officers who
have the custody of criminals are not consult
ed, and no opportunity is given the public to
protest or approve, and no public authority is
quickly reformed altogether"

In a strictly American 'crowd," one of the
most beautiful things never observed, is a
wholly unselfish consideration for the comfort
of Others. You may search for it in the street
cars, at the theatres, on the steamboats,, in
the omnibuses, at the hotel counters, upon the
railway train, and even in the sanctuary, but
you will fare no better than Brooklyn de-
tective in pursuit of a criminal, or the fresh
man who sits down to his first boarding-house
plate of chicken soup with the expectation of
finding some chicken.

Nichols Dust and Gas Tight
Wrought Iron Furnaces

FUNHE invention of the WROUGHT IRON FUR
Il MACE, was the result of thorough and pains
taking investigation by DR.. JAMES r. NICHOLS, Ed
itor of the Boston journal of Chemistry into the OBJ
jecions or defects in nearly all the Hot Air Furnaces
now in use. During the past three years Five Hun
dred have been sold. They have proved competent
to supply delightful, pure current of air to
Churches, Stores, School Houses and Dwellings, and
in every place where used they have been perfect
success and given entire satisfaction.
The great distinguishing features of this Furnace
are its Simplicity OF Construction, the perfect safe
guards against the passage of Dust and deleterous
coal gases into the rooms warmed by it, The heat
radiating surfaces made of Boiler Iron rivited
together in the same manner as Stea j oilers and
not particle OF gas dust can p IS through The
original of this Furnace constructed three
ago by DIR. Mic OILS, for private use, as Safeguard
against those nfractions of the laws of health To
which he himself as well others were subjected nv

three years of my Furnace satisfied that no
deleterious gases OF dust can flow into the rooms

In the NICHOLS WROUGHT IRON FURNACE
We have coal burning device much cheaper than
any Steam Apparatus, less troublesome, one which
supplies air pure and healthful that from
Steam or hot water. 1t does away with all the ser

Furnaces and its sanitary adva tages such as to
commend it to the attention of all intelligent Honse
