where are you Going.


At Che departure Of the 9 o'clock
evening train for Pittsburgh, says
th Oil City Dsrrics. to avoid n IS
takes on the part Of the travelling
public, il is made the duty of the
brakemen to inquire the destination
ofpassengers as they are passing in
to the car.
The replies they receive are often
impudent and sometimes amusing (;
the destination Of many are in such
diverse direction, Notwithstanding
they are all taking the same train.
Standing by the door the other night,
the replies to the brakeman's ques
ton were quite amusing Some NUT
tered replies quite dificult TO under
stand, but which might be understood
to be points down the river Some
informed the brakeman it was none
of his business. One gentleman
snapped out that he was going to
that warm place. The brakeman
said the train for Titusville had gone.
Another told the inquirer to go to
the Internal regions himself One
lady said she was going to the abiding
place of angels. She was informed
that that was q through train for
Pittsburgh aud didn't stop at small
stations. They had so few paSsen-
gers for that point it did not pay. A
bystander asked If she bad her ticket
She left, saying she had, but didn''
get il Of the ticket agent. The last
parsonage to get on was a gawky
youth from the region about Emlen
ton. The brakeman stretched out hi:
hand to intercept him as be entered
the door, and asked him the usua
question, Where are you going =
The youth grasped the outstretcb
ed hand, shook it heartily and said,

Paul Boynton is the name Of
daring individual, who is to be drop
ped into the ocean, 200 miles from
the land. He is now at Atlantic
City, N. j., where be is under an en-
gagement with the Camden and At
lantic Railroad Company, to take
charge Of the life guard establishment
there. He is an intelligent young
man of about twenty-seven, of aver
age size and well developed. The
Merriman life-saving suit in which
he will make his hazardous expert
ment, consists of pantaloons and
boots and o jacket with 8 hood at
tached. Seven small .ubes with
mouth pieces, are constructed with
air chambers in different portions of
the dress. The hood, as it becomes
inflated, is drawn tightly over the
face, leaving the eyes, nose and
mouth visible, and making
perfect air pillow for the head, which
is not only comfortable, but also
serves to keep the face constantly
above the waves without the slight
est exertion. @. S. Merfiman, Of
New York, the patentee of the dress,
has offered $500 to Mr.. Boynt9n to
make sea voyage in his suit 10 order
to demonstrate to the public its iner
its as life preserver. He has ac-
cepted the proposal, and on or about
the 25th OF December be will be car
ried from New York by an outward
bound steamer to a distance not less
than 200 miles from land, when he
will be dropped and left to the mercy
of the waves until be shall meet with
some passing vessel. He will carry
with him in rubber bag sufficient
rations, consisting Of dried meats,
etc, for one week, as well as good
vuantity of fresh water. He will
also carry signal lights and flags,
with a sectional staff twelve feet
long for raising them, all Of which
are to be slowed away ia the uDlim-
tied portals Of the rubber bag, which
is about two feet square, and is o:
little or no Inconvenience, strapped to
and doated as the side of the swim.
mer. This feat may be considered
by many as deliberately challenging
death, but Mr.. Boynton is very san.
guine of success, and even says thai
be would willingly allow himself te
be left thousand miles out if neces
ssry, without the slightest fear re
! garding his safe recovery.

A interesting experiment was per.
formed on the 18th instants in Fan

chance Of relief Dr.. Hoffman had
trsnsfused blood from animals, dogs
and lambs, to the human subject with
success in six different cases, and il
was determined to make the expert

neetion formed with the carotid arte-
ry Of living lamb by q glass tube
with vein in the patients arm. The
bright blood leaped through the tube
and entered the system Of the pa
tlent The stream was kept up for
one minute and forty seconds. Then
the compression was removed aud
the tube taken away. Friday, Mr..
Dubois had sufficiently recovered bis
strength TO enable him TO visit
warmer climate this coming cold
weather with good prospects Of re-
gaining his health. The lau.b Is alive

A Borne Princess.


The Farmers Friend gives the
following incident Of American nobil-
iy.
Mrs. Flerida White, well known in
the fashionable world forty years
ago, was one Of the most beautiful,
accomplished, and attractive women
of her day. She was the daughter
of General Adsir, and her husband
was Joseph NJ White, the second
delegate sent to Congress from the
Territory of Florida
Highly educated, full Of genius.
and with the bearing Of queen, ber
society wsscourted by the most ele-
waited circles in Washington, New
York ard Boston. She was q bril-
liant eOnYersationalist, ready and
effective at repartee, and a sincere
warm hearted gentle woman Of the
most gracious and generous impulse.
On one Of her visits to Rome she
was presented TO the Pope
"Kneel, my daughter" said be, as
she stood erect in her imperial grace
before him "Ali kneel to me except
the daughters Of sorereigns.p
Il am princess in my own right,
your holiness - she replied.
How can that be, when you are
an American born ?"
''In my country the people are
sovereigns, and | am daughter Of
the people"

The polytechnic Bulletinr thus
describes the manufacture Of theF-
mometers at the Tower Manufaetur-
ing Company's establishment, Ches-
ter, Pa.
The glass tubes, as received, are
about yard long. A boy hicks
them with a hard steel knife, and
breaks them into the lengths requir-
ed. The bores, which are fiat, are
compared, by means Of lens, with
those of ten stardard sizes, and the
tubes assorted accordingly. They
are then passed to the bIow-pipe Ia
bic. Each glass blower has foot
bellows, and uses an oil lamp. Melt
ing the glass at one end of the tub,
he blows it into bulb by pressing
the sides of hollow India rubber
ball attached to the other, proportion
iGg the size Of his bulb to the bore Of
the tube, and aseertaining the size
by using a pair of callipers. While
the bulb is yet hot, the tube is inver-
ted in mercury, which, as the bulb
cools, rises and partly fills it. The
tube is then Withdrawn and a short
India-rubber tube attached to its open
end. Into this mercury is poured I;
that in the bulb is boiled to expel the
air, which rises up through the mer-
curry in the India-rubber tube, aud an
atmosphere. of the vapor of mercury
now fills the glass tube and bulb. As
this coudenses, the mercury in the
India-rubber tube takes its place,
when this tube, with. any mercury
remaining in it, is remoKed. The
bulb is now warmed, and the open
end Of the glass tube hermetically
sealed.
The bulb and a PORTION Of the tube
are immersed in melting ice, and the
height Of the mercury marked; they
are then transferred TO bath at six
ty-two degrees Fair, aud the height
marked; next to bath at ninety-two
degrees Fabr., and the height again
marked The lengths Of the three
spaces of thirty degrees each are now
carefully measured. If they are ex-
aclly equal, the bore Of the tube is
assumed to be uniform, and the de-
grees laid off on the brass scale Of
the thermometer are all made of the
same length. If the spaces of thirty
degrees each are not found to be ex-
actly equal, then, by means of an in.
genious dividing engine, the degrees
on the scale are made to increase in
length as the caliber of the tube di-
minishes. When the plate has been
divided, and the figures and letters
punched, it is passed. literally, be-
tween rollers, to remove the burr left
by the tools. Were it rolled length
wise, the accuracy of the dividing
would be impaired. The plate is
then silgered and lacquered, the glass
tube attached, and the whole slidden
into the well known japanned tin
ease. The establishment turns out
two hundred dozen thermometers a
week

AUTUMN DAYS.
rnon Mr.. wmrlrsr's 5 NEW volrnE or rorNs.


The summer warmth has left the sky,
The summer songs have died away;
And, withered in the footpaths lie
The fallen leayss--but yesterday
With reby and with topaz gay.
The grass is browning onthe hills;
No pale, belated flowers recall
The astral fringes OF the rills,
Ana drcarily The dead vines fall,
Fros. -biackencd, from the roadside wall.
Yet. through the gray aad s5mber wood.
Against the dusk OF fir and pine,
Last Of their fioral sisterhood,
The hazei's yellow blossoms shine
The t.wny geld Of Aries mine
Small beauty hath my unsung flower,
For Spring to own or Summer hail;
But in the seasons saddest hour,
To skies that weep and winds that wall
Its glad surprisals never fail.
o. days grown cold! o, life grown Old
No rose of June may bloom sgain;
But likcthe hazel's twisted gold;
Through early frost and later rain,
Shall hints OF summer time remain.
And as within the hazel's bough
a gift OF mystic virtue dwells,
That points to golden ores below,
And in dry. desert places tells
Where low unseen the cool, sweet wells.
SO. in the wise diyiner's hand.
BE mine the hazels grateful part
To feel, beneath a thirsty land,
The living waters thrill and start,
The beating Of the riyulets heart.
Sumceth me the gin to light
With latest bloom the dark cold days;
To call some hidden spring to sight,
That in these dry and dusty ways
Shall sing its pleasant song Of praise.
o love the wand may fail;
But thou eanst lend surer spell,
That, passing over Barca's vale,
Repeats the old-time miracle,
And makes the desert lend a well.
