TIE TABLES TURNED on O'CoNNELL-Iu
her life of O'Conrell, which has just appeared,
the Nun of kcnmarc relates the following an
ecdote of the Liberator. 1t must be rcmem-
bered that after the killing of D'Esterro in n
duel, for which he never forgave himself,
OConuell registered a solemn vow i'll heaven
never to engage in duclling again, else
Glascoek's blood-thirsSy desire might have
been Gratified to his sorrow:
In 1929, O'Copnen found himself i'll an I'M
pleasant position through the threats of pu-
gilistic attorney named Toby Glascock. This
man had been thought deficient in intellect,
and having threatened to fight O'Connell, the
Liberator imagined that lis challenge might
be laughed at. But Toby was not to he put of
easily. If O'Conncll would rot fight, he
declared that he would send his servant to
horsewhjp him. The Libcrat"r deemed it all
visable to have hi;n bound over to keep the
peace. The little man, for such he was in
size, appeared in court for the purpose. His
owns stature, be said, ought to have saved the
stalwart Daniel from any apprehension. and as
to his servant, whom, it appeared, O'Conneil
dreaded no less than himself, he offered to pro-
duce him there and then. SO diving under the
table, he lifted up Il large bag, united the
strRgs, shook out the corners, and tumbled out
n little black boy on the table, clothed in green
livery and grinning from ear to car. This was
too much for the gravity of the court. They
all convulsed with laughter, apd e once
in his long career the witticst man in ireland
found the joke turned against him.

How To DESTROY MosQUIroES-Thc process
for destroying mosquitoes may be condensed
into few words. The strongest crystallized
carbolic acid should be placed in a bottle, and
covered with the same quantity of strong red
cod-liver oil; shake the bottle thoroughly I'M
til whitish coorcd foam appears; if such
foam does not arise, however, q small quantity
of powdered lire should he added, with a lit
tie water. Pour the mixture into a a dish or
other convenient article, and place directly
under ;he-opeu window, as it is from this
quarter the mosquito enters. Ghe effect is cx-
planned in this manner: the moment the mos
quito enters, it loses the scent of blood for,
as the combined odor of the oil and acid is
much more powerful than that of blood, it fol-
lows as n consequences that the mosquito be-
comes suddenly perplexed. The consequence
is, that after scrambling and skirmIshng
about in the dark, the mosquito is led, as it
were, instinctively into the mixture, where it
is either drowned or burned to death by the
acid.-Scientifc american.

FLOW EHs.-Frail children of the heauti-
tul, that bloom and fade so fast, flowers
claim il universal homage from the human
healt; ever breathing IL silent eloquence,
they awaken man to feelings of his better
nalnrr, recalling t" his mind the fragrant
bloom of his lost Eden, directing his aspi-
rations upwardstto that Other and better
land, where they shall never know decay.
The love of flowers is ever indicative of
delicacy and refinement, and but ill accords
with the throbbings of low and vicions
spirit. They inter largely into all the re-
lations Of life, the sorrowful as we'll as joy
full, and willie they add zest to the pleas
urable scene, tltey-also cheer by their
sweet influence, the gloom incidental to
many lot. The student amid the tolls of
mental pursuits, loves to refresh his mind
on the perfume of the rose beneath his win
dow; tlowery chaplets are borne away in
proud triumph in the vacation days of
June; they press the brow of the young
bride, when departing from the halls of her
childhood's home; they revive the droop-
ing spirit of the dying girl on whose blue
eyes and golden hair consumption took no
pty;" sprays of white roses mingle their
purity with that of her cold white face,
when dead, and immortelles keep watch
over her early grave.

ADVENTURES OF RETURNED CALIFORNIAN.
The tuneful mosquito has had his trombone
reconstructed and begins the new season in
animated style. Newark man received q
call the other day from his long-lo brother,
who lives in California. He assigned the
spare room for him. and, bidding him an affec-
tionate good hight, retired to rest only to have
hisslumbers disturbed soon after by an incipient
earthquake up stairs. Hastily looming his
trousers he proceeded to the long lost brothers
room, from whence the uproar came. When
the unbridled brother went to bed he had
thrown open his window to draw untrammeled
breath and preserve the idea of his native
freedom. Tho mosquito, seeming foreign pro-
duce from afar. whetted up his Knife and fork
upon the stone window sill, and, humming a
short grace before meat, took q chair
upon the Californian's nose, and, tucking
his napkin under his chin, set to work. The
sensitive foreigner said ungentle thing
ing from his couch, struck o light to meet his
unseen adversary face to face. No sooner had
he deserted him than with uplifted pillow he
smote upon the wall where sat the patient in
sect, who skinned swiftly away and left the
spot bare. Two more unsuccessful attempts
upon the poor mosquitoes life exasperated the
long lost brother and the scene became eXcit-
ing. Blow followed BLOWN quick succession
suit about the room. just as he had taken a
careful aim at the artful dodger, who sat upon
panel of the door enjoying the sport, the pro
prletor of the mansion popped his head in and
full in the face. He laid down unpremedita-
teddy, and called for the neighbors. When
outside relnforcements appeared, an entrance
was effected into the room, and fearful scene
OF r1in met the gaze of the intruders. The
only whole remaining article furniture was
the tedstead, upon which sat. the disconsolate
Californian, picking the fragments of the
looking glass out of his bare feet, and saying
terrible things. He was inconsolable, and
next day he left for California, without offer
ing to pay for the broken furniture.

The Baltimore Tunnel Finished.

The last brick of the arch OF the tunnel Of
he Baltimore and Potomac railroad under
Baltimore was laid ON Friday last, and the
trvStunc Of the arch was fitted to its place.
This tunnel is $50 feet long, and 1J,O00,0O0
oi bricks have been used in its construction,
beside, immense quantities Of stone for the
foundations and backing up Of the walls.
The arch at Fulton street," says the Ga
-ctts, twas completed within two minutes
81 The time when the Keystone was placed
IN The face Of the arch at Pennsylvania ave-
.'niie.'
Ihi, tunnel Is the Longest in the Uuon cX
,,l; the incomplete HooSac tunnel. The
contract 10 build it was made on the 9th of
August 1871. and the work was completed
on the 18th of May, lS13-one year and IL
little less than eight months. Ii is set down
Il, the most rapldly-complcted work Of its
magnitude ever undertaken in the Union.
When the tunnel of the same road under
Washington is completed, and in direct con-
s.cction With the rail from Washington
"'n Alexandria to Occoquan, Il considerable
facility will be added to the means of travel
between the South and North very much to
the advantage of the public, especially in
winter, when the ice lays its embargo upon
the river transportation.
The rails win be laid in the Baltimore
,unnc! and the trains be running through
III Il very few days. When the like facility
shall be Afforded at Washington, and the
delay Of about al hour which has occurred
in travel there is ended by Il straight shoot
through that city il will he a great blessing

afforded to persons going through Washing
ton that we give them in going through
