a pretty pink domino which made her
particularly conspicuous. She supped,
and when she left the ball she found she
had drunk too much champagne. A po-
liceman put his hand on her shoulder,
and she sank down Mortified at the idea
of being taken off to the station house
When lhev picked her up she was dead !;
she had died from fright. So the body

The LEGEND Of Gambrinus.

The popular legend Of Gambinus, as
related by John Fiske in the Atlantic
Monthly, Is as follows:
Gambrinus was fiddler, who, being
Tilted by his sweetheart, went into the
woods to hang himself As he was sit
ting on limb, with cord around his
neck, preparatory to taking the hnal
plunge, suddenly tall man in a green
coat appeared before him and offered his
services. He might become as wealthy
az he liked, and make his sweetheart
burst with vexation at her folly /;
but in thirty years he must give up his
sole to Beelzebub The bargain was
struck, for Gambrinus thought thirty
years long time to enjoy ones self IN,
and perhaps the devil might get him IN
any event-as well be hung for sheep
as lamb. Aided by Satan he invented
Ginning bells and lager beer-for both
ofwhich achievements he IL held in
grateful remembrance by Teutons. No
sooner had the holy Roman Emperor
quaffed the new beverage, than he made
Gambrinus Duke of Barbant and Count
of Flanders and then.it was the id-
dler's turn to laugh at the discomfort of
his sweetheart. Gambrinus lived clear
of woman, says the legend, and SO lived
in peace. For thirty years he sat be
meath his belfry, with his chimes, medi-
tatively drinking beer, with his mobiles
and burgers around him. Then Beeize-
bub sent Joco one of his imps, with or
ders to bring back Gambrinus before
midnight. But Joco was, like Swivel
ler's Marchioness, ignorant of the beer
taste, never having drunk of it even a
sip, and the Flemish shopper were
too much for him. He fell iHRo drunk
en- sleep and did not wake up till next
day, at which he was 80 mortified that he
had not the face to go back TO hell at
all. So Gambrinus lived on TRANQUILITY
for century or two and drank so much
beer that he turned into beer barrel.

The Holmeses, in spite ofthe complete
exposure of their spiritualistic tricks,
seem determined not to give up the profit
able business, and have procured the
publication in Philadelphia paper Of
long letter, the writer of which declares
"that upon the night of the 9th instant
despite Mr.. Owen and DR.. Child, the
real Katie King came from the spirit
world and assumed bodily form in his
presence that he saw the beautiful
and distinctly visible face of a young
girl at one of the openings of the cabi
net,' and that the apparition spoke in "a
distinctly audible whisper" The Phil
adelphia Bulletin, however, declares that
three nights after this alleged material
ization" an editor of that paper attend
ed one of the seances at which face ap-
peared at one of the openings of the cab
met and was pronounced by Mrs
Holmes to be "the face of beautiful
girl" The editor, in spite of the dim
light, had no difficulty, by furtively
using an opera glass, in discovering that
the beautiful face was only an india-rub-
Der mask.

Water.

There is no more prolific source Of
disease than bad water; but to distinguish
whether the fluid is unfit for consump-
tion or not is somewhat difficult. Water
from certain river, spring, or well,
may be repulsive to the senses, and yet
harmless to the stomach, in comparison
with other water which has much more
attractive appearance. Perhaps the
best mode of determining the question
is to examine the condition of the or
ganism dwelling in the proposed source
to be utilized. If, for example, an in
dustrial establishment or collection of
dwellings empties refuse into the stream,
and as result fish disappear or are
found dead upon the surface, it is certain
that the water is strongly and injurious
ly affected. The gradual infection may
be noted by the fish first rising to the
top, apparently i'll at ease, and subse-
quently dying. In Initiated water also
mollusks perish, and their bodies de-
compose rapidly. In the air they merely
seem to dry up and retain life, though
torpid for some time, becoming revivii-
ed by return to water. Crosses cannot
live in corrupt water, and their exist
ence is a sign of purity in fluid, while
alg@ deprived of their green color indi-
cate absolute corruption. NJ. Gerardin,
in reference to this subject, in a recent
note to the French Academy, states that
the best method of measuring the degree
of purity or of infection in the water is
by determining the amount of oxygen in
a given quantity. Water containing a
large percentage of the gas is pure and
good; but when little of the latter is
present, the water is decidedly deleteri-
Gus to health.

FAST TRAVELLING ON CANALs-A
short time ago the steamers City of AL
bany and City of New York met at AL
bany-the City of Albany loaded with
6,9o1 bushels of wheat, five days from
Buffalo. The City of New York deliv-
cred freight just three days from New
York sooner than Albany gets it by
rail. More recently, the City of New
York ran from 1lion to Syracuse, sixty
six miles, in fourteen hours. Stoppages
at Utica and Rome, to discharge freight,
consumed two hours. The City of Buff
nlo has just made the trip from Utica to
Syracuse (about sixty miles, in thirteen
hours, which is set down as the fastest
canal time on record.

 Says Mark Twain: ''When was boy there was but one permanent ambition among my comrades in our village on the bank of the Mississippi river. That was west to be a steamboat-man. We had transient ambitions of other sorts, but they were only transient. When circus came and went, it left us all burning to beome clowns; the first negro misntrel show that came to our settlement left us all suffer ing to try that kind of life; now and then we had hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates. These ambitions faded out, each in it's turn; but the ambition to be steamboat man remained"
