LITTLE MISS RATTLE-TE-BANG.


LITTLE MISS RATTLE BANG.
1t was ages ago. so the rhyme-makers sang,
That little girl lived they called Rattl ete-b bang;
They called her by that, since she never could stir
Without causing slam, whirl, OF a whirr.
There's hammering sound to her heels and her toes
-clickety clack clacking wherever she goes
Oh, said believe she lived long time ago,
For our mild modern girls don't ever walk so.
Her papa and her mamma were at their wits end,
Every day of their lives mi schief to mend
For could be certain, not until she got through
When she rose from her chair, what Miss Rattle
might do.
Her mamma would muchrather have patched TWEEN
ty boys;
And her papa was perfectly wild with the noise;
So one mOrn when the cars came a-puflng their
way,
Why they both stepped on board, and went steam
ing away.
Twas that year when the dish ran away the spoon
And the wonderful cow jumped over the MOON
In no other I'm sure could little girl do,
What Miss Rattle-ty did in an hour or two.
In trice all the doors OF the mansion went slam.
Evry window flew up with shove and jam!
And then all of them fell with the dreadful crash
And the house. it got aired i'll the general smash.
Soon the cups and the spoons struck up jinge-and-
ring,
And the plates and the patters broke out tfugle.a-
ting,
While the stove and the shovel the poker and longs
Undertook to beat time unto both of the songs.
All the tables were seized With a cramp and a
cough!
All the easychairs rolled till their castors came o,
All the cushions were shook into pitiful plights!
All the pussycats SneeZed at such putting rights
For Miss Rattle rushed round with a buster and
brown,
Ann she scattered them all, right and left through
the room
While the rugs sailed high and the curtains sailed
low,
And very high wind blew above and below.
And wherever she turned their remained a path
AS lion had passed through the house in his wrath
But whether lion, or wandering bear
1t is certain some tragedy happened right there
When her folks got rested, and returned to the
house,
Both the house and the garden were still as mouse
And they found but some fingers shut tight in the
door, .c4c
Nothing else. flounce lying torn on the floor,
And little soft ringet Snarled fast on nail,
At these remnants of Rattle they both gave WALL
1t was hard for Miss Rattle-ty's parents 10 doubt.
But Oh! isn't it good that the race has died out?
For what if little girls NOW should walk with
bounce
And how bad it would be if they sat with a jounce!
And our heads had to ache with the noise and the
clang
That was made in the days of Miss Rattlete Bang

How an Insurance Company Opened it
own Safe.

After six whole days Of labor-ten hours
q day-a hole had been made through the
walls of the door of Terwilliger safe, and
the outer door opened. The 6nal event was
assisted somewhat by the careful attention
to details by Mr. Kellogg, the president of
the Phoenix company who, by frequent trial,
ascertaincd the difficulty, which had been
supposed before-the interference of the
chronometer lock with the protection of
knob. This interference was slight, but
was effective, sufficient to prevent the action
of lock that in itself was a whole, and de-
Tended and controlled the door and entrance.
A hole of ive.eighths Of an inch diameter
was made by patient drilling through three
and a half inches Of laminated material,
wrought iron, sheet steel and chrome steel,
offering varying degrees of resistance to the
use Of the drill. 1t is singular that the
debris Of the drill as far as it went through
the peculiar resistance Of the chrome steel
did not give any of the results that are ex-
pected from the drilling through hardened
steel, but the "chips" were merely angular
fragments, apparently broken off by heavy
blows or by strong pressure. In this case the
"OlO buO " pOio'o'Sh' PiS'U
sure, assisted by the action OF the oxy-hydro-
gen bow.pipe. The course of the drill is
thus from Sunday to Tuesday one and five.
eighths of an inch, but on Tuesday and
Wednesday only one-eighth Of an inch, with
the assistance Of the oxy.hydrogen blow-pipe.
The other distance was made slowly, the last
course of one.fourth of an inch requiring ten
| hours. The result was reached, aud the
outer door OF the safe opened, With all
the knowledge Of the builder Of the safe, and
all the opportunities of procuring the most
effective means of entering safe made by
himself, he was compelled to use all his
means and sixty hours continuous work to
open door that he made merely to secure
against the possible assaults of professional
burglars, who would have only the time be-
tween Saturday night and Monday morning
with the possibility of an occasional and
effective interruption at any time during the
| limit.-Hqrtford Times

The Turkish Volunteers in Smyrna,

The arrival, on Saturday last, of some
600 or 700 volunteers, from the Zeybecs OF
Anatola, on their way to the seat Of war,
threw the whole of Smyrna into consterna-
ton. Contrary to common sense, they were
marched through the very heart of the town
on their way to the konak, followed by their
numerous rabbe Of their oo-religionists, who
in their excitement and exuberance of spirits
gave themselves up to such little Pleasantries
as drawing their knives and threatening sues
of the "giaours as they CHANGED to meet.
This playfulness further exhibited itself in
knocking some of them on the head with
yataghans.
On reaching the entrance to the bazaars
they met an elderly Armenian, whom one OF
them struck at twice with his yatahgan, To-
flicting two severe wounds on his arm, A
little farther on, a very respectable aud we'll
known Greek merchant was met, aud he re-
ceiyed such severe cut on his head that he

weak mind and peculiar ways. He married
war widow, few years since, and was for
a time guardian for her two sons, who drew
pensions. Hayden treated them we'll and
honestly, as those best informed say, but Of
late au interested party has been working on
his fears, threatening him with a suit and
term 10 States prison for defrauding his
wards. Hayden has been greatly agltated
about it, and Thursday forenoon started for
the river, where his body was found about
noon. No doubt exists that il was case
OF suicide. His whole account with his
wards did not exceed $3.50, and as he
boarded them several years, there could not
have been any fraud.
