sfIuiature Needles.

The King of Prussia recently visited a
needle mandatory in bis kingdom, IN
order 10 see what machinery, combined
with the human baud, could produce.
He was shown a number OF snperhne
needles, thousands Of which together did
not weigh half an ounce, and maryelied
how such minute objects could be pierced
with an eye. But he was TO see in this
saspect even something still finer and
more perfect could be created. The
borer-that Ia, the workman whose busi-
ness il is to bore the eyes in these nee
ties-asked for q hair from the monarch 5
head. Il was readily given, and with a
gmlla he placed It at once under the
boring machiGc, turned hole in 1t With
tbe greatest care, iaErished Il with a
thread. and then handed the singular
needle 10 the astonished king.

A Parsee sensation.

From Appletons Journal
The Parsee community of Bombay has
lately been stirred to its uttermost
depths by circumstance which, TO one
not to the manner born, would seem
To he of but trivial nature. A Parsee
lady, the wife of one Of the most wealthy
and influential members of the sect, ap-
neared with some English ladies' at a
private concert given in the city, and
sang the well known song entitled Her
Bright Smile haunts me still. This
event, says the Bombay Gazette, caused
great sensation among her caste,
Young Zoroaster highly approving the
courage of the lady who thus assmilated
and fraternized with her English sisters,
while old Zoroaster, represented by the
Parsee newspapers, is furious and insult
| ing. venting his displeasure in very un-
heoomiug language. This is but single
nj mqnifeststiop of the social and political
feud which, for a number of years, has
divided the Parsee community ct Wes-
tern India. This sect, which numbers
about hundred thousand souls, among
whom are many of the wealthlest and
most intelligent of the native popula-
tion in and around Bombay, is repre-
sented by two distinct wings, which we
! NAV call Conservative and Liberal, each
protesting equal devotion to the faith OF
their great teacher, but differing In the
construction of its tenets. The conserya-
tive believes in a strict adherence to all
the ancient customs and obseryances,
however much they may be behind the
spirit of the age. For instance, be in
stats upon taking his meals in the good
old-fashioned way of his fathers-squat-
tiHg on mat beside his copper platter,
raised about three inches from the floor,
and heluing himself with his fingers. De
observes strictly all the rites and publi-
cations enjoined by his religion, says
his PRAYERS sixteen times each day, will
not eat food cooked by any person OF
another faith, and keeps his wife and
daughters in ignorance and secluslon.
The liberal, on the contrary, believes IN
conforming to modern progress, and
| liyes like an English gentleman, as far
as Eastern necessities will permit. lie
advocates the abolition Of some of the
disgusting ancient psages, the re-
duetion of the number Of obliga-
tory prayers, the education OF
women, and their admission into So
ciety. It is next to impossible for
us, with our Christian notions of equal
ity, to appreciate ths courage necessary
for a woman to separate karself from
her caste ss in the instance above quo
ted. and 20 into European society. A
| few years ago it meant ostracisB and
degradation, and it still means so among
those who cling to the ancient traditions;
but, thanks to the enlightened move
ment among her countrymen, the lady
will have many who will support and en-
courage her in her innovation. Caste
observance, which really has nothing in
eos,ren with the religion Of Zoroaster,
but was borrowed from the Hindoos, has
received its death-blow among the Far
sees; and that eniightoaed little commu!-
atty whose fathers came c4t OF Persia
uofs than thousand years ago gill
soop aid by their example in breaking
the shaakles which so long have bound
their adopted country.

An exchange paper tells the following story
As an evidence that the qualities of nerve and
downright pluck are not confiGed exclusively to
the heroic men of creation. there is here offered
q narration Of circumstance wherein . young
girl bore herself bravely under such trying cir
cumstancss as would have severely tested the
most logged determination ever shown by the.
average genus homo. On Sunday last this young
lady was at church, when, during the delivery
something of q crawling nature was making an
expeditions journey mp her leg. Startled. a.
may well be believed, she was for the nonce
bersft OF power Of action, and there forthwith
chased each other through her mind extremely
lively and fearful apprehensions touching snakes,
rats, and host of disgusting creatures, but
with q determined effort she recovered her
presence Of mind. and by the time the. thing
had got q short distance above her knee abe
clutched it, through her dress. with vice-like
grip. and held on like grim death. Since the
fret revelation of the distressing circumstance
she had not uttered sound nor indeed given
any outward sign Of the mental torture which
she must have suffered, but sat rigid and com.
posed, firmly grasping that 'horrible thing,
which she knew WA some living creature, when,
upon being ciutched, it gave forth squeaking
sound. For full three quarters Of an hour the
girl sat there, composed as ever, still retain
ing her hold till the close of the service, when
she departed homewards, never relaxing her
grip until reaching home. when giving hurried
explanations to her mother, she tainted dead
away. A quick examination by Ia mere revealed
the presence of q rat, as dead as door nail, as
the cause OF the unhappy adventure. which for
lively interest, and the revealing of remarks
BILE spirit in the mind of young girl, is not Of
ten matched at this latter day.

THE GREAT CENTENNIAL nurLnINa.

Forty-two plans for the great Centennial Ex-
position building, in Paramount Park, Philadel-
CHA, have been submitted by architects, and
yesterday the committee having the duty of Sc
lection met in that city. Their first business is
to select the ten designs which they regard as
most suitable and to the architects who submit
these, $1,000 each will be awarded. The Com
mittee will probably complete its labors, to-day,
so far as this preliminary selection goes, and
will then devote its efforts to securing the best
out Of the ten.
In this very important part of the great un
dertaking, it is to be hoped that plans may be
adopted for building which will avoid all the
defects of those used at London, Paris and vi
emma, while securing their best features and
that it shall be something new in form and ar
rangement. The advantage which we have of
the experience Of the Expeditions already held
should enable I'd to improve their results very

When woman puts three mackerel to soak
in dishpan, whose sides are eight inches high.
AMI leaves the pan on a stairway, she has accom-
plished her mission and should go hence This
Tas what Division street woman did on FRIDAY
night. Filled the pan at the pump and then left
it standing on the steps to the stoop, while she
went into the next house to see how many but-
tons would be required to go down the front of
redingote. Aud mighty important affair that
was, to be sure. And there was her husband
tearing through the house in search of hand
kerchef, and not finding t,of course. And then
rushed ont in the yard wondering where on earth
that woman could be and started down the steps
without seeing the pan. or even dreaming that
any one could be so idiotic as to leave it there
OF course he stepped on it, at least that is the
Eupposition. as the neighbors, who were brought
out by the crash that followed saw q Mortified
man, and high dish pan, and three very de-
noralized mackerel shooting across the garden
and smashing down the shrubbery. And he was
a nice sight, that unhappy man, when they got
him on his feet There wasn't dry thread on
him, and his hair was full OF bits OF mackerel.
and one OF his shoulders was out of Joint and
his coat was split the whole length Of the back,
and he appeared to be out of hls head. He was
carried in the house by some OF the men and
laid on a bed, while others went after doctor.
and sixteen woman assembled 10 the front room
and talked in whispers about the inscrutable
ways OF Providence aud what warning this
was to people who never looked where they were
going.-Ddnbur,y hetcs

The Reading Times says that the coming Au-
gust Term of Court will be one of the most i'm
portant that has ever been held in the county.
The criminal business will be very large, COM
prising all the commitments for three months
the longest term of the year-and a number of
cases having been continued from previous
Courts. There will be several cases OF murder
and homicide, and many other cases OF a serious
grade. The same paper says that there are
numerous complaints in regard to the manner in
which the Jurors have been drawn II seeme
that the Jury Commissioners have used the old
list of names prepared for 1871, a number OF
whom have died, others removed from the
county or to other townships, 80 that they con-
not be found Frem this cause II is feared there
will be an inauficiency OF jurors, and hence trou-
BILE and delay in the trial OF cases.
