Jennie June writes that "Jay Gould
at one time offered q million of dollars
for the purchase of the Times, but MIR.

"A joke is going the rounds in press
circles at Toronto, Canada. The editor

following Monday, returned the compli.
ment by securing the services of Mr..

The Washington gymnasium has q
new member in Algernon G. F. Sartoris.
As the feat of standing on the head, with

iously for the debut of this little young
foreigner, who is said to turn q tolerable

Some people imagine that Mark
Twain is exceedingly smart. We knew
him when he was grinding platitudes for
the Virginia Enterprise, and he was q

at his editorial table for hours, drumming

itors were waiting for copy, and when
reminded of his duty by The foreman
would say: "This working between
meals is killing me!'' And he was the
heal'hiest man in the Territory.-Oakl1nd

orally suspended above this gloomy gulf:
Most of the streets in the southern
part of the city have underground
streets corresponding with them, which
are called by the same names, and on
which the numbers of the houses and the
site OF the public buildings above are in
dicated. Under the large edifices, whose
weight threatens to crush in the roof of
the Catacombs, the corridors have either
been solld!y filled in with masonry, as
under the Luxembourg, or huge pillars
have been constructed as supports, as
under the Hospital and Church Of Val.de-
Grace. 1t has been generally supposed
that the Catacombs extend under the
Seine, but this is an error, for the porous
nature of the stone from which they are
excavated would have caused the imme-
date inundation of the works had such
extension ever been attempted II.

In 1867, Mr. Berger, a Partisan, lost
his wife, whom he had married three
years before. He has been almost heart

before. mo, no, help" he shrieked,

Court of Rhode Island, made of the Leg
islature the somewhat remarkable re.
quest that, before he took his seat, the
salary of the Office, which was 5000 q
year, or 81 600 more than that of the As.
sociate-J Justices, should be reduced to
$4,000, because, he says, the Associate
Justices have almost as much work to do

$500 is difference enough between the
two. lie delayed taking his seat for
the express purpose Of making this re-.
quest, as the salary of the Judge cannot
be changed during his term of Office, and
so the Legislature passed an act reduc-

work of repairing the Catacombs and
keeping them in order has been continu-
ously carried on new pillars, new arches,
new sustaining walls have been con-
structed in every direction and there is
no longer any danger of SO terrible a
catastrophe. In 1886 the Csmettere DIES
Innocents was suppressed for sanitary
reasons, and the idea then arose of util-
izing the underground and deserted
quarries by dcpositing in them
the remains removed from the
cemeteries. The part lying under
the PlG"e de Mont SOuris was appro-
priated for the purpose; a house known
by the name of La Tombe Issoire, from
q famous robber who once infested the
road, was purchased on the Route dor
leans; a shaft was sunk and the cavities
walled up and prepared to receive the
dead. The CatacomDs were consecrated
in April, 1886, and the work of removing
the bones thither was Immediately COM
menced. The suppression of all the
intra-mural cemeteries speedily followed
and the bones they contained were
brought here and deposited, SO that the
number of dead now enshrined in the
vaults of the Catacombs has been vari-
ously estimated from 100000 to Is, OOO,-
600, and am inclined to think that the
last and largest estimate is the most
nearly correct. Vast indeed is the null
titude whose moldering bones are
heaped up here with such chill and

This was scene in play. to be sure.
