A New LiFe-saving Apparatus.


A new invention has been tried in
Paris which is pronounced to render
drowning a thing of the past. II
consists in the employment of pueu-
matte India-rubber tube rolled round
the body with sufficient number OF
folds to contain the necessary amount
of air. The tube is placed concealed
in q double envelope forming shlrt'
It terminates with mouthpeiee, which
shuts with the aid of a simple copper
button. The operation is simple IN
the extreme, and the swimmer or i'm
mersed person has air enough for a
whole day. When the apparatus
comes to diminish in volumn, it is
easy to expand it again by the princi-
pie tube in deep water without any Ell
fort or difficulty. The trial was wit
messed the other day at the Henry the
Fourth baths, when the inventor, NJ.
Gosselin, showed its properties. he
stood upright, the hands raised ABOVE
the head, when the water did not come
above the shoulders he foated on
his back with his arms crossed. The
apparatus can be worn under the
clothes like flannel waistcoat. 1t ex-
tends from the neck to the knees, fast
ened in front by a row Of buttons. 1t
is composed of double flannel, in
the midst of which an India-rubbeI
tube circulates, starting from the tor
Of the chest, ascending the left side Ot
the neck, and following the centra
line of the neck; there it divides il
two branches, encircling the thighs al
far as the knees. From the centra
part of the principal tube twelve tc
fifteen lesser tube diverge to make the
round of the body, and meet in from
where the row of buttOnR is. ThiI
improvement on the life belt is said tC
be certain to supercede all existing ap
pliances in teaching swimming or say
ing life from shlpwreck.

Every man has need to be forgiven.
Help thyself and God will help thee.
Never apply remedy worse than
the disease.
The road to ruin is paved with good
intentions.
1t belongs only to great men to
have great faults.
IfyOu cannot bite, never show your
teeth.
A gracious manner wins the popu-
lace.
He jests at scars that never felt q
wound.
The fire heeds little whose cloak
burns.
There is no joy without alloy
To live in hearts we leave behind is
not to die.
Haste and rashness are the storms
and tempests which wreck business.

After the first rain, go ever the field

track of mole in this piece Of ground
during the entire summer.

Pulling Gen. Jackson's Nose.

In May, 1888, the cornerstone OF the
vet unfinished monument to Mary, the
mother of Washington, was laid at
fredericksburg, Va. Gen. Jackson was
to officiate on the occasion, and on the
morning of the day appointed he en-
parked on the steamer Sidney, Ia COM
pany with a large number of distlr-
guished guests, including the members
of the Cabinet
The boat stopped at Alexandria to re-
ceive additional passengers, and among
those who came on board was Il. b.
Randolph, who had been Lieutenant
in the navy, but who had been dis
missed by Gen. Jackson for some al
legged offense, of which Randolph
claimed (truthfully, we now believe,) to
be innocent.
Randolph made his way into the
cabin, where the President was sitting
reading a newspaper, and advanced as
if to address him, turning to draw his
glove. The President, not knowing
who his visitor was, but supposed it was
some person going TO salute him, and
perceiving his difficulty in getting of
bis glove, stretched out his hand, say
ing. "Never mind your glove, sir. -
But Randolph had freed himself of
it, however, and thrusting his hand in
Jackson's face, he exclaimed, L came
here to pull your nose, and, with the
words, he tweaked the Presidents nasal
organ.
A Mr.. S. Chelsey Potter, clerk in
one of the department, saw the action,
and struck Mr.. Randolph violent
blow, which staggered him at the
same instant two gentlemen III the
cabin seized him, and he was borne
down.
At the moment of assault Jackson
seized his heavy walking-stick, which
was lying on the table beside him, and
rushed upon Randolph, who was held to
to the floor, surrounded by his captors,
and endeavored to force his way to the
PROSTATE man, declaring with much
profanity that no man should stand be-
tween him and the villain who had as
saulted him.
The crowd on the boat had now
learned OF the outrage, and made a rush
for the assailant with the avowed inten-
ton of taking his life. To save him
from their fury he was quickly borne
from the cabin and placed on shore.
He stayed for few minutes in Alexan-
dria, called for drink at one of the
hotels, and then went over into Virginia
beyond the limits OF the District and
escaped.
The grand jury soon found q bill
against him, but he was never arrested.
as he did not return TO Washington I'M
til Jackson had left for the Hermitage.
Randolph lived until 1872, and died in
Washington.

How a Rat Whipped an Alligator.

A Wholesale drugstore on Magazine
street is the happy possessor of a young
and domesticated alligator. This little
crocodile has become quite pet and
plaything of the establishment he is
of an amiable disposition, fond of music
and dinner, and quite submissive, she'd
ding tears and showing repentance
whenever it is found necessary to cor
rect him.
1t was resolved by the clerks in the
establishment that as the alligator had
reached his third birthday, and in
creased to three feet in length, to util-
ize him, to put him to some other en-
ployment than that of a mere pet. At
first il was thought that he might be
turned loose to reduce the Republican
vote of this State, by picking up stray
pickaninnies, for whom he is commonly
supposed to have great love but this
was thought chimerical and danger
Gus enterprise and, therefore, was given
up.
1t was finally concluded to make use
of Crocky, the alligator, as a cat. The
store teemed with rats and mice, who
made daily inroads on the quinine and
ipecac and it is well known that alliga-
tors have special and inestimable
hatred toward rats.
A rat, to practice on, was caught, the
other day, imprisoned in barrel of
calomel. There he had spent at least a
week on this meager, insufficient and
injurious diet; he was thin, weak and
melancholy his health was broken, his
constitution gone.
Rat and alligator were put together
in box and numerous audience
crowded around to get the front place.
The two enemies soon awoke to an APP.
probation of the case. The rat safely
and snugly ensconced himself in cor
ner. The alligator hesitated second,
scratched his head (metaphorically),
and having made up his mind as to the
mode of attack, advanced slowly toward
the rat with wide open jaws. The rat
trembled, there was no escape, nothing
but the wide open mouth of the alliga-
tor before him. Without hesitation,
like Curtius, he jumped straight into
the yawning gulf, and getting a good
hold on the lower lip of the alligator,
swung himself to the ground.
The "Saurian gave a squeak and
oWubSS blOullNi, tliC luO
letting go, victor in the first round.
The alligator, however, was not daunt
ed, and advanced with the same tactics.
The rat this time, by most agile move
ment, leaped entirely over the alligator.
Getting behind him he now proceeded
to chaw and gnaw away. The unwieldy
animal could not get around to defend
his hind-legs.
BY a good use of his tail the alligator
again got free, and advanced desperate
ly, though with tagging courage, at the
daring rodent. With equal success, the
rat again sprang into the air, alighting
on the alligators back. The fight was
over then. The alligator could not
shake his enemy off, could not dislodge
him, and finally gave up the fight, lay
ing himself down on his belly in sub
missive attitude.
The rat was set at liberty, and given
the run of all the drugs anu medicines,
while the poor alligator was doomed to
disgrace and ridicule. His master no
longer feels proud of his rough pet, and
offers to go in bathing among q thousand
full-grown crocodiles, without the least
danger. -Ne,O Orleans Times.
