Henry Wilson's Percentage.

The bells were tolled at Pennington on
Wednesday, the day Vice-President Will
son was buried at Natick, and the villag-
ers on foot followed through the village
a massive bowlder of ten tons weight
which was drawn by ten oxen from n
distance of nearly two miles, and placed
on the one-acre lot belonging to the late
Vice-President, which includes his birth
place. This acre was part of the place
owned by Mr.. Goliath, but which was
sold many years since to Luther Hayes,
a leading shoe manufacturer, who, find
ing that Mr.. Wilson desired to possess
it, presented him with the acre in ques-
ton long time ago. Apropos of which,
the following fDm the Utica On. W
Observer is interesting 1--WE stated
that the Vice-President was born III
gypsy camp. This statement having
been denied, we take occasion 10 reiter-
ate it. 1t is literally true. There were
in Stafford County, New Hampshire,
early in the century, two wandering
tribes of rowing vagabonds, who dwelt in
huts and tents and travelled from place
to place, picking up scanty subsistence
by making and selling baskets and eking
out their uncertain livelihoodby fortune
telling, tinkering, etc. To one of these
tribes the Colbaths belonged, and in their
hut the departed statesman of New En-
gland was born

Trifilng Causes for sclf.Murder.

Little matters are more frequently the
cause of suicide than great affairs. An
irritable nervous system, brain too
highly wrought, are apt to magnify into
the greatest horrors, trifles to which the
healthy organization would scarcely give
a thought. Many girl has taken away
her life rather than endure scolding,
and schoolboys have drowned themselves
to avoid the performance OF some heavy
tasks. A noble lord of high degree once
shot himself because he was afflicted
with the itch. He had evidently. never
heard of the Duke of Argyle, or the ia
nous scratching post OF history. A
London reporter put an end to his life to
save himself the trouble of making out
a long report. and the story is told OF
gentleman who gave ss reason for his
suicide that he was tired of the trouble
of putting off and on his clothes. The
latest case of self-slaughter for a trihing
cause is that OF n married lady i'll Lon
don, who suicided because she was
greatly troubled and depressed about
changing her residence. 1t is curious
fact connected with felo de SO that so
few of those persons whose obituaries
we should so gladly write ever shuttle off
this mortal coil. Who ever heard of a
creditor drowning himself, an annuitant,
or poor relation How often have we
wished that such and such poet would
put his wailings into execution, and
sleep beneath the willows But none of
these people ever do drown it is your
poor innocents, who never owned cent,
nor drew pension, nor wrote line OF
poetry your sensitive plants, who start
at the creaking of door, or tremble at
the sight of rat, or bailiff. Ont OF
their ranks alone come the Zone more
unfortunates, denizens of unknown
graves. Inter- Ocean.

A Tall Chimney Strengthened i'm Novel
Way

The lofty chimney-stack at Messrs.
Peter Mathews IL Sons chemical works,
at Pitchcombe, Gloucestershire, says the
London Building Ne,Os, has lately be-
come very much out OF perpendicular,
but almost without any building or en-
cheering works being carried out, the
stack has been brought back to its origi-
nal position. The stack is 1872 feet high,
and was built in 1882 by Mr. Gideon
Morris. 1t had gradually fallen from
its upright position, and Mr.. Augustus
Mathews consulted Mr.. III. j. Taylor,
electric engineer, of Nailsworth, who
tested its position, and found it to be
three feet ten inches out of perpendicu-
lar, but undertook to restore it to its
original position by a process requiring
on scaffolding. The terms were agreed
upon, and accordingly Mr.. Taylor COM
menced operations few weeks ago,
assisted by three workmen. The chin
ney is of an octagonal shape, and the
operations of Mr.. Taylor consisted in
cutting out one course of bricks from
five of the sides, and inserting thinner
course, and then letting the chimney
fall upon the latter and so pull itself
upright For this purpose he erected a
platform about forty feet from the base,
and with hammers and chisels he and
his men cut through the chimney,
which at this point was of the thickness
of about two feet. AS the bricks were
removed from each side, thinner
course was substituted, and the inter
vening spaces were filled with iron
wedges. This work lasted for about
three weeks, and unfortunately the
weather was most unfavorable, being
frequently very boisterous, and naturally
causing considerable alarm, both to Mr.
Mathews, and the venturesome engineer
himself. However, the chimney stood
through it all, and when everything was
in readiness the wedges were withdrawn
by Mr.. Taylor and his three men, and
the stack was brought within an inc1 or
two of its perpendicular position. The
finishing stroke was performed on the
evening of the 9Th instant. 1t required
nice calculation to carry out this work,
and Mr.. Taylor is complimented on the
exactness with which he did it. He es-
timated that quarter of an inch would
bring over the stack seven inches at top,
so that he had to let it down about an
inch and half, and had he exceeded
his calculation by one-eighth of an inch,
the stack would have been brought too
far over, and there is little doubt that it
would have completely collapsed, and
killed those on the spot who were re-
moving the wedges, as the weight above
where the work was being carried on
was estimated at $50 tons. The erection
OF new stack would probably cost
something like $500, whereas this has
been Strengthened at about tenth of the
cost, and is now stated to be in as good
a condition as new one.

Victor HugO's Devil.Fish.

The octopus or poulpe is a cephalopod
mollusk, having round purse-like
body, and eight arms united at the base
by web, by opening and shutting
which it swims backward, after the
manner of the Jelly fishes. Each arm
has double alternate series of suckers.
by which they seize their prey, and
moor themselves to submarine objects.
They are solitary, active and voracious,
seeking their food chiefly at night.
They are the pOtyDj of Homer and
Aristotle. The common poulpe of the
European seas has body about as large
as the clinched fist, with the arm ex-
banding three or four feet. In tropical
America they grow very large one was
found dead on the beach at Nassau,
Bahamas, ten feet long, each arm meas
uring more than five feet, and estimated
to weigh about $50 pounds I; and they
are believed to exist there even larger
than this. In cold waters they are
small, and not to be feared by man but
in the tropics, MS on the coast OF Brazil.
the large species are very powerful and
dangerous. The common poulpe of the
French coast has given rise to the myth
cal "devil-fish" introduced by Victor
Hugo in the "Toilers OF the Sea-" The
novelist has mixed up polyp and poulpe,
misled by the name given by Aristotle,
and thus manufactured an impossible
creature.-Appleton's american Cyc1o-

THE DYING YEAR.

The year is dying, soberiy the trees
Are nlelIowing-with dtnl sad face
They lean against the sadness OF the SKY:
The glory OF the summer has gone by,
Gone is the smile Of gladness from the place
O sad TO see the sun come later up,
And sad to see him pass betimes away,
And FAD the palid glints he throws across
The leaf strewn garden; sad the sense OF loss.
The all-pervading fragrance Of decay.
Yet at the open window, az l sit
With closed eyes, aud hear the gentle rain
Fall on the damp green earth like lovers signs,
And feel the breath of earth uprtAe
From far and near from hillock and from plain
The same soft drip OF lightly falling showers,
Upon the moss-greens growing everywhere.
the same strange Silly warinness in the lift
The cawing of the rocks, the gentle drift
OF odorous dstillings IN the air.
Daffodils growing on the fields green breast,
Buds all a-blow, and the enchanted breath
OF violets peeping in the damp bedgerow,
Kindled TO being-O mystery, that 80
Death looks like life, and life 30 like to death {.
