AN UNDERGROUND CHURCH. curl
GUS structure is rapidly rising, or, rath-
er, sinking, in England. 1t is church
designed to accommodate the crowded
fishing population in one quarter OF the
city. Land being difficult to procure !;
it was determined to build q church
under the street. The floor of this
underground edifce lies thirty feet be-
low the surface of the road, and is reach
ed by decending q fight of stone steps.
In form, the church is a long parallelo-
gram, 1872 feet by 80 feet. The alter IS
at the north end, opposite the base Of
the stairs. The structure is to have an
organ in the west aisle, which is divided
from the nave of the columns of Bath
stone. Attached to the church..is vestry
room, also subterranean. The cost OF
the whole building, $4,000, is borne by
a clergyman of Brighton.

INDIA RUBBER SIDEWALKS. -India
rubber sidewalks are coming in to fash
ion out West. For small towns they
are admirable-com combining economy with
durability. The first experiment was
made in Danville, Iowa, where three
hundred yards were put down on one of
the principal streets. All the boys in
the place ran over it, but there was no
noise. a leading merchant stopped in
front of his house; then jumped on his
heels. The elastic forces hidden in the
rubber threw him over the gate to the
roof of the piazza. But after few trials
he was able to alight on the steps with
the graceful accuracy of flying squir-
rel The chief drawback to the walk is
its odorous familiarity In hot weather,
but it can be neutralizeG by a weekly
wash of borax and coaI Jar. It's princi-
pal advantage is that it can be stretched.
AS the town grows, it is pulled out to-
wards the suburbs. Two yoke of cattle
can lengthen it three miles day.

A GRAND COLLEGE OF MUSIC.-A well
known merchant of New York, bache-
lor upwards of 80 years of age, at whose
birth, it may be supposed, ''the morn
ing stars sang together and so gave
him early in life love for music which
remains strong and fervent In lis old
age. has donated 100000, and signed
a will bequeathing all the rest of his es-
tate, valued at 81, 600, 900, except life
interest in about $25O,000 of the estate,
to several relatives, for the establishment
of college of music in New York City.
The college will be dedicated to the
DAUGHTERS of America, but it is not to
exclude males. The building will occu-
by site 300 by 200 feet, said to be
ground now occupied by the Hippod-
rome. An effort Will be made to secure
Richard Wagner at the head of the IN
stitution, and Theodore Thomas and
Drs. Pierce and Damrosch are mentioned
as members Of the faculty. Work on
the permanent building commences next
fall, but the school will be started before
that time in temporary quarters.

THE TWENTY CENT CoN.-The de-
sign for the twenty-cent silver piece, au-
thorized by the act of Congress of March
3, 1875, was selected and approved yes
terday by Hon. 81. Linderman, Director
of the Mint. The diverse design con-
tains sitting figure Of Liberty with the
word 'sLiberty" inscribed ON the shield,
the whole surrounded by thirteen stars.
and beneath the figure the date ''1875. %
On the reverse the figure of an eagle
surrounded by the inscription, Omitted
States of America" and beneath the
eagle the words, ''Twenty Cents. At
DR.. Linderman's suggestion, the edge
of the periphery of the coin will be per-
fectly smooth, in order to distinguish it
from the twenty-five cent coin which
bears reeded and futed edge. AS the
piece is too small to admit the legend,
"E Pluribus Unum," or Gin God we
Trust" both have been omitted. The
new coin is mainly intended for circula-
ton in the Pacific Coast States, where
the want of such coin has been long
felt in making change, and where the
lowest coin in circulation is the dime, or
ten-cent silver piece.

In Redmon, Iowa, few days ago,
man killed the hen that might have
laid him golden eggs if he had let 1t
live. In dressing the fowl he was sur
prised to find in it's nasticating apparatus
a nugget of gold weighing twelve grains.
A few days after neighbor killed
chicken. and in it's stomach was found
similar, though smaller, specimens of
the valuable metal. the specimens were
tested by jewellers, and pronounced
pure gold.

When the particulars of this singular
affair were made known to the commun-
ity, great sensation was created
Nothing was found among the dead
mans effects giving any information as
to his family or his life, nor throwing
any light upon the manner in which he
had accumulated his wealth and the
reason for his living in the most abject
poverty with fortune in his wretched
room. Every effort is being made to
find the dead mans relatives, who, If
found, will no doubt be able to clear up
the mystery of the missionary's LIE.
AS it is, it certainly has no parallel out
side of the creation of fiction.

RULES OF THE ROAD.

The great leading rule is that no one
has the right to be in the middle of the
road, except when no other person Is
present to claim his right to the use of
one half the highway, which claim he
has precisely the same right to assert
when travelling in the same direction
that he has when he meets another
This is the law of every State in the
Union, and so far as we are informed,
of every civilized country; and all per-
sons violating it are liable for all dam
ages resulting from their conduct.
When teams meet, the American law
is that each, turning to the right, shall
give half the road. The custom and the
law of England require teams to turn
out to the left-as expressed in the old
doggereI:
The rule of the road is paradox quite;
In riding or driving along
Ii you keep the left, you are sure to go right
Ii you keep the right, you go wrong.
In passing, the person in front is re-
quired to turn to the left, so as to allow
the person in the rear, who is travelling
at more rapid pace, to pass by on his
right.
Where teams approach at right angles,
or interesting roads, it is the duty of
the person who, by turning to the right,
would pass to the rear of the other team
to pull up, and allow the other to pass.
In wide streets in towns and cities,
these general principles should always
be observed, though, from the necessi-
ties of the case, persons are less strict in
keeping on the proper side of the street
being frequently obliged, with proper
care for the rights of others, to pass to
the other side, to avoid a crowd or other
obstruction.
A person with light vehicle meeting
or desiring to pass heavily laden team,
especially if the latter is going up hill
will generally turn out without requiring
the man with his loaded wagon to give
half the road, but the law imposes no
such obligation in any case, and under
all circumstances requires each to give
half the road, unless by accident or
some obstruction it is found impossible
to do so.
If person happens to be in the
wrong place on the road or street, "a per-
son coming in collision with him is not
entitled to damages if, by the use of
ordinary and reasonable diligence, he
could have avoided it.

An honest old gentleman from rural
county, who came down to New York
to spend the sabbath with friends, was
asked by one of them what the people
up his way thought of the Beecher scan
dial. He replied that he never tried it,
and didn't know anything about it-that
he and all his neighbors burned kerosene.

A HAWK SToRY.-A few days ago two
hunters were riding toward this city on
one of the foothill roads, when they OBJ
served a chicken hawk in the midst of q
flock of crows, and each crow in turn
seemed to be giving the hawk pick.
The unequal contest excited the sympa-
thy of the observers, and they thought
of giving the crows shot. While they
were bordering over the matter the hawk
made quick dart from the midst of his
enemies toward their buggy, and on
reaching the ground near them skulked
beneath the brush fence. The horses
were stopped, and one of the party
alighted and picked up the bird. It
was found to be nearly frightened to
death, but bore no marks of violence.
1t was brought to the city and placed in
cage.-Aaysvaue (Cal.) Appeal.
