A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

On the night of July 5, Mr.. Robt. N. Arm
strong accidentally fell through the hatchway
of the steamship Tappshannock, and injured
ihself very severely, shattering his right arm
and inflicting other and serious injuries to
himself. Mr.. Armstrong was in the employ
of the Salamander Felting Company at the
time, and had charge Of some men, who were
wPrking for. the company on the boat. 1t was
about IL o'clock, and Mr.. Armstrong was
about coming ashore, and not noticing that
the hatchway was open, he fell through it, a
distance of thirteen feet. He will certainly
lobe his arm, and it is feared more serious re-
suits will follow, as he is yet in very critical
condition.
We cannot too severely condemn the negli-
gsnce which caused the hatchway to be left
open. 1t is impossible at night to distin-
gnish, without the closest scrutiny, the fact of
the place being uncovered; and as no one
would be apt to guess it was, it is no wonder
that Mr.. Armstrong fell through it.
We learn that many serious accidents have
occurred in this way, and it is high time some
attention was given the matter.

Papuan MatrimOnY.

The Philadelphia Press says: When the
gentle Australian concludes to shake off bach
elorhood, and become married man, or, be.
ing already married, concludes to do it some
more, he pursues course at once simple and
expeditions. Club in hand, he "lays for -
the woman of his heart, and when an oppor-
tunity for doing SO without being caught, oc-
ours, he caresses her with that weapon until
she falls insensible to his feet; then he bun
dies her on his shoulders, carries her to his
ancestral hut. tumbles her down in a corner
to recover at her leisure-and this constitutes
the entire marriage ceremony
There Is cheerful unconventonality about
this way Of getting married which contrast,
very favorably with the cumbrous methods of
accomplishing the same, in vogue in lands de-
nominated civilized, and doubtless many an
unfortunate Caucasian couple, matrimonialy
inclined, compelled to stand the fire of un-
meaning congratulations and to breast the
flood of absurd social customs, do greatly
envy the freedom from bother enjoyed by
their Papuan cousins of the far South Sea.

Mr.. F. Crossley suggests as the origin Of
the word humbug the Irish uim-bog, pro.
nounced "um-bug," literally "soft copper,
or worthless money" James II issued from
the Dublin mint mixture of lead, copper

intrinsically worth only two pence, and might
have been bought after the revolution for
