A Narrow Escape.

The Mayor and City Council of Terre Haute, Ind, had narrow escape from death the other day. They were ex- amininp a new six-foot sewer, and were passing through it with lighted can- dies. when the foreman of mill above, not knowing that they were there, be- gan to let off steam through waste pipe emptying into the sewer. For tunately there was some trouble with the valve and he let down the lever to attend to it, thus giving the party time to escape. But for this circum- stance the deluging of the sewer with hot steam, at 100 pounds pressure, would have killed every member of tho party.

HOR go LKE.

The eel season is now at hand, the recent
rains having started them in the Susquehanna
and all the creeks and streams on their fall
journey back to tide water, and the eonse-
quenee is that large numbers have been
caught in different parts of the country within
the past few days. The eel travels up stream
in the Spring, and returns down to the salt
waters In the fan, always going in large
schools. There are great many peculiarities
connected with the eel thar but few people
know Of. For instance, there are some eight
or ten kinds Of them, of which several never
enter into fresh water. Some Of the varieties
are, when full grown, ten or twelve feet in
length, weighing one hundred pounds. The
kind here, the common fresh and salt water
eel, Ia usually from twelve to twenty-four
inches in length. Eels, It has been proved, have
both sexes In one, and spawn somewhat after
the manner Of other fish. Like the turtle,
they can travel out Of water for some distance,
from stream to stream, SO that in almost
every riyulet, however small, they can be found.
The gills, or breathing organs, are covered uo
by most delicate curtain, which acts like q
valve and q reservoir for water, thus enabling
the fish to take In quantity Of water, so to
speak, to keep its gills moist during the time
Il Il out of the stream. It has heart in its
tail, the same as Is known to exist In the SAL
mon, with pHlsations ct about ninety four to
the minute.

SU1LED SPECIE PAYMENTS.
It was just exactly a century before our war
that Frederick the Great, already 50 called,
was involved In the seven years war, a most
tremendous eouAict and one which promised to
strip bin utterly of his Vauntea title, II not Of
his kingship. He was beaten On every hand.

Paper money was then unknown on the CON

debased the currency with paper, azeenturT
later. But all this, like our emission of paper,
was done solely as war measure.
But amer the war, and when Frederick came
to undertake those measures for the restora-

required, let US see If he inflated or debased
his coinage. The seven years war closed with

The degree of alloy was moreover marked
upon It, and ample warning given that before
long even that should be set right. A year

A correspondent says: 81 was recently in
formed of an amusing incident which took
place recently in the Sistins chapel at Rome
during the performance Of some special eere-
monies. An American lady was standing be-
side an English woman, both being in a rather
disadyantageous position, being stationed some
what In the background. The English woman
was much annoyed by the conduct Of some per
sons in front Of her, who persisted IN standing
up, to the total obstruction Of her view, and
she INDUCED, to one of her eountrymen who
was placed near her, in Volubls abuse Of
those horrid Americans who were always 50
pushing and so rude and especially Of that
very horrid American womanWho would stand
up right in front Of her and prevent her see
ing,' to all Of which TRADE the American lady
beside her was. forced to listen in silence. At
last the English woman's temper got the better
of her, and she so far forgot herself as to lean
forward and to give the offending females
dress pretty hard pull, as hint to her to SIT
down. At once the person thus rudely en-
treated turned round and dealt the English
woman q smart slap In the face, pouring forth
at the same time volley Of abuse in purest
Partisan French, much to the amusement Of
the quiet American spectator of the scene,
who, when nsrrating the story to me, added,

to assault her adversary, but Twas very glad
