A BosToN correspondent tells the fol-
lowing: Mark Twain, in one of his ar
ticles, speaks of the lady who treasures q
precious slice of bread from which Dick
ems had taken bite. This sounds like
the broadest burlesque, but the following
anecdote, which Is literally true, and
illustrates many peoples foolish desire
for relics, shows that Twain was hardly
burlesquing in his essay. The last time
that Mr. Dickens was in this country he
happened one morning to breakfast ct
the common table of the hotel where he
was stopping. When he had eaten his
egg, he dropped the empty shell INTO his
egg-cup, and, after finishing his breakfast,
he left the table. As soon as he had gone,
lady who had sat next to him arose, and,
taking up the cup, went to the hotel pro-
prietor and offered to purchase it Of him
ct any price; and the unwashed egg-cup,
containing the broken shelA is now kept
BY her as : souvenir Of the great novel.

Tho 1srribls Accident At Syracuse.

asEsTss3st i4 { 10y rE
A Syracuse On. ~ dispatch of June
~ gives the following particulars of the
recent accident In that place caused by
the giving way of the Central Baptist
Church building, in which ., festival was
being helds s5
Inc list Of killed numbers thirteen.
Inc number Of wounded foots up 100, of
whom twenty are seriously injured.
Inc occasion Of the gathering last night
was . FESTIVAL given by the ladies Of the
CHURCH and . concert by 9 The Little Old
Folks" At the rear Of the church are
SUNDAY echool rooms, occupying the first
MOOR, ana the church parlors occupying
the second hoor. This part of the edifice
was IN use for the festival and concert.
A. the time OF the accident supper was
being served in the central parlor, which
had been prepared for the occasion with
tables, etc. This room, which was forty
feet square, was filed with people, the
session room below bcing deserted save
BY . few persons. The number in the
supper.Foom Is variously estimated at
from S5O to 900, mostly grown persons. At
the time the floor gave way the children
ofthe congregation were in one of the ante
rooms, being prepared for the "Ancient
Concert" But for this fact the list of
dead must have been very much larger,
g many OF the helpless little ones would
have been crushed to death in the mass
OF humanity crowded into the "V"
shaped vortex formed by the falling tim
beers: At the moment of the falling of
the noor the scene within the parlor was
one OF happy enjoyment. While all
were pleasantly engaged, without single
sign OF warning, the floor suddenly sank
beneath them, and in an instant all were
buried In mass of struggling humanity
lntermlxed with falling timbers, furniture,
ETC., and in utter darkness, the gas hav-
ing been extinguished by the breaking of
the gas pipes. An instant after the fear
ful descent had been made, all was silent
q the grave, but immediately after heart
rendng appeals for help were to be
heard from hundreds of those who were
IN agony Immediately after persons
were seen issuing from the doors and
windows, which were smashed out by
heightened people, and an alarm was
sounded. The uninjured within the
church who were able to free themselves
from the mass began at once to assist in
resculng others. The hremen and police
were quickly at hand, and labored nobly
In the work OF rescue.
The scene within the building was ter
rible in its details. and that without the
edince heartrending indeed. Fathers
ana mothers searching for their children,
husbands looking for wives, wives in
curing for husbands, brothers for sis.
ters, and children for their parents, Of
whose fate 81! were uncertain and in
dread. Quickly and rapidly the work OF
extncating the people was carried on ny
aid OF lanterns. AS last as the living
and dead were rescued they were passed
out through the windows and doors,
where ready hands assisted to convey
the dangerously injured and dead to the
physicians offices and neighboring
houses.

What Is q Defective Flue?

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial gives the following practical
answer to the question:
"The question is often asked, What
is detective fue?' 1t is flue that has
open, upholstered joints in the brick
work through which flame or sparks can
pass into the spaces between the floors
and ceilings, or in which SCOT can accu-
mulate and take fire. If the joints in the
bricks of the flue are carefully covered
with mortar, NO joints built into or
touching it, and no floor or woodwork
allowed to come in contact with it, the
owner of such q flue can retire to sleep
with mind at ease on that score. Safe
flues in houses built by contract are ex-
ceptions, as the contractor sublets to the
bricklayer, and he does not feel respon-
sible to the owner, who gets defective
flue unless he stands by and bosses the
job. If he does not he must chance 1t.
I have had some eight or ten fiues built
for ovens heated to white heat, but
have always stood by to see that every
joint was well closed, as the first aue l
used fired the building. The last one l
built was SO dangerous-passingt through
a -loft-that, rather than trust it to
others, built it myself; and although it
made the loft unbearably hot, l felt per-
fectly safe, and used it for three years
constantly. Another cause Of frequent
fires is the careless use of matches. A
porter in store sent into dark cellar or
upper story goes with lot of matches
to strike while hunting what he wants
the match is thrown down; if it goes out,
good; if not, and there is straw, paper,
shavings, moss or rags lying around
loose, presto! there you have sponta-
neous combustion. Always take q Ian.
tern, and let it be globe lantern, fed
with lard or sperm oil. In looking back
through business life in Cincinnati Of
thirty years, find that fire originated
eight times on my premises, all, however
got under without calling out the en-.
gines. Only once was I burned out
thanks to q neighbor. Once, defective
fue; twice, defective stove pipes; once
pan of hot ashes left ON the floor over
night (servant girD; once, hot ashes in ar
out-houses (servant girD once, wood coal
spilled ON floor (servant girl; twice
matches used and thrown on shavings.

Land-Leeches.

A TRAVELLER in Assam, Mr.. T. T.
Cooper, describes as follows the land
leeches which abound in the forests of
that country: "Of all the hardships and
unpleasant sensations experienced in the
Assam jungles none have left q more dis
agreeable recollection than the attacks Of
land-leeches. Often on sitting down 1
could count a dozen of these little ami
mails hurrying from all directions to their
prey. In length they are about an inch,
while their thickness does not exceed
that of an ordinary sewing needle. Their
mode of progression is very curious.
Fixing one extremity, by means of its
bell-shaped sucker, firmly on leaf or On
the ground, the leech curves itself into
an arch, and the other end is then ad-
,vanced till the creature resembles loop,
again to expand into an arch, but the
movement is quicker than words can de-
scribe; the rapidity with which they get
over the ground is quite startling. As
they occasionally. rear themselves per.
,pendicularly and sway about from side
to side, taking a survey round them in
quest of prey, the observer cannot fail to
conceive dread of the blood-thirsty lit
tie creatures. could never resist watch
ing them whenever took seat. At
first they would hold themselves erect,
then suddenly, as though they had just
discovered my whereabouts, they would
throw themselves forward, and with
quick, eager strides make toward me.
Another kind of leech found in Assam is
the hair-leech, SO called from its great
length and extreme tenuity. 1t lies in
wait in the grass, and as animals feed en-.
tiers their n6strils and fixes itself firmly

Poisonous Plants.

~AS tAA0 oC0oVA "a tAAV yOoA 8AO0t Au1AA-
bers of people indulge in vast deal of
sentiment about rambles in the woods,
rocky glens, purling brooks and similar
adjuncts of rural life. These are all very
well in their way, but they have some
Snakes, tOads, wasps, hornets, ants, ticks,
"leafy woods" are to most persons great
drawbacks to the enjoyments Of ruraliz-
ing. These annOyances, however, are
when compared with the disagreeable
and dangerous effects produced BY some
poisonous plants and shrubs.
We should like to give descriptions of
some of the more common plants of this
which are the only correct and precise
ones, would not be generally understood
by a large majority Of our readers, and
descriptions might mislead, and perhaps
lead to bad or injurious consequences, we
refrain as much as possible from attempt
ing either, simply noting the common
names of most of them as they are known
in various parts of the country, and ad-
vising our friends never to taste or eat
plants that are not we'll and definitely
known to them to be innoxious. For want
of caution in this respect we every summer
see accounts in the newspapers of serious
consequences, sometimes resulting in
death to the imprudent.
Of our native poisonous plants. one of
the most annoying and unpleasant in its
effects is the RhWs torscodendron, various
l.. vim p>oforss~ ivy md
poison oak, although it is not related to
either the ivy or oak families. There are
two varieties of this plant, one growing
erect as a small shrub, from two to 1--WE
feet high, and the other growing as a
vine from eight to thirty feet high, cling:
ing by small rootlets to trees, fences, and
such like objects. When growing as a
vine it is the Il. radicans of some bota-
nists. In both varieties the leaves are
compound, being divided into small leaf
let's, as in the pea or wistaria; in this
species there are three leaflets, toothed
or lobed in various ways on the edges,
and somewhat downy on the under side.
Those Of the erect variety are from six to
eight inches long; those of the climbing
variety are from One-half to twO-thirds
that length.
This plant should not be COMPOUNDED
as it sometimes is with the ampelopsis,
or Virginia creeIer, or American IVY
which has large digitate leaves, that is,
apex of the footstalk.
Another species Of poisonous rhus is
r. oesesatG, or poison-sumac, also known
as poison.elder and swamp-dogwood, al.
