A Scotch Sermon.

A Scotch minister thus discoursed on
the carelessness of his flock: s. Brethren,
when you leave the church just look
down at the Dukes swans; they are very
bonny swans, and they'll be sooming
about an aye docking doom their heads
and LAYING theirsels wi the clear water
till they're a drookit; then you'll see
them sooming to the shore, an they'll
gle their wings bit flap and they're dry
again. Now, my friends, you come here
every Sabbath an I lave you a. over WI
the Gospel till ye're fairly droon' WI it.
But you just gang AVA hame and sit
doom by your Preside, gle your wings a
bit flap an ye're as dry as ever again.

Firenrn0f Dress.

Mr.. Oestberg, Swede, has been con-
Quoting some sensational experiments In
various parts of the continent with his
fireproof suit. This is made in two lay
ers, the inner one of India rubber, the
outer of English leather, the head being
protected by helmet resembling that
worn by divers. At the girdle is fixed a
piece of hose, which serves both for air
and water. The air pipe, fed from two
blowers, is placed inside the water pipe,
and brings the air, after being cooled by
the surrounding water, into the inner
part of the dress. The air initiates the
costume, passing away through the two
small openings made for eye pieces. The
current of air not only keeps the inclosed
body cool, but drives smoke and flame
away from the eyes. At the back the
water pipe divides, one branch serving
as an extinguisher. the other passing
into the outer coating of the dress, the
stream being distributed over the whole

Forcing q Sale.

It was a job to sell old Twister any
thing at decent profit, and, indeed, to
sell him at all half the time. He only
hauled over goods, asked prices, said
they were too high, and walked off. One
day our head salesman saw him coming
in and told the boys to keep back and
he would certainly sell him something
before he left the store, and so we stood
back and waited.
What's the price of these goods y
said Twister, taking hold Of some that
were hung in an open case.
"These, Mr.. Twister, are twelve and
one half cents yard" said the sales
man, naming half a cent under the
price.

the salesman.

The house and furniture proved too
much for his constancy and he profered
his old love EGO to forego her time-honor-
ed claims. That lady, however, chad too
much spirit to accept the offer, . and the
result was that the services of one of Her

tiers, and twelve business men were in

An Englishman's Introduction to Sit
ting Bull.

Those who have visited Washington
have seen Greenough's sitting statue of
Washington in the east park of the Cap
itOl grounds. Most of those whose
eyes have been SO fortunate as never to
have rested on it know that it is colos-
sal figure Of George, naked to waist,
sitting out in the sun and rain, without
any hat or umbrella, In a marble chair,
on top of a granite block. His out
stretched hand is lifted appealingly, and
the common explanation of this is that
he is pointing to the Patent Office, where
hangs the last suit of clothes he wore as
COMMUNICATIVE chief. OF late they have
wheeled this great stone image into the
area Immediately in front OF the main
porch of the Capitol.
Standing here, in loose plaid walking
coat, and looser trousers, was real
John Bull, looking around with one
eye-glass the other morning, when his
vision rested full on George. Turning
to Maj. Ben Perley Poore, who happened
to be near, the Englishman said :
saw, beg pardon, sir, but what is that
large marble fgure?"
That, SIR" replied the Major, with
great gravity, " is Sitting Bull.
cav really, now Wonderful And
you've got him up SO soon! Aw,
what an extraordinary people, to be
sure!"
With this he left the Major and start
ed down the steps, and the last seen of
this astonished Englishman he was walk
ing around the granite base, whereupon
Washington is . seated, reading the in
scription which one full walk around is
needed to complete +" First in war, first
IL peace, first in the hearts of his coun-
trymen." That inscription must have
puzzled J. Bull considerably, and caused
him to repeat, with emphasis, his former
ejaculation cav, what an extraordina

Story OF the Fenian Escape.

Thomas Henry, one of the Fenlan
prisoners who escaped from Freemantle,
Western Australia, In the American
bark Catalpa, has furnished New York
reporter the following particulars of the
escape:
We were expecting for about two years
that we would be rescued from prison.
We always kept on the alert for move
ment of any kind which could be turned
to our advantage. We were notified OF
the sailing of the Catalpa, and expected
her in March, but we did not hear OF her
arrival until few days befor the 18th OF
April, the day on which we effected our
purpose. After breakfast, on the 10th,
about ten minutes to o'clock, we left
the prison gates unobserved, and entered
carriages provided for us. Our party
numbered about eleven, including out
siders who kept in front and rear to
keep sharp look out for enemies. We
reached Rockingham at l:3O a. M,
where whaleboat from the Catalpa was
lying, and got on board the boats. The
crew were then In charge of an officer
from the vessel. During the journey by
land we were not molested, though we
met several persons. When we were
two and half miles from shore the po-
lice came up and captured our horses and
carriages, which had been Left on the
beach. We had great trouble in finding
the Catalpa, and the police got boat
and were searching for us. A storm
arose and blew us out to sea, and our
provisions were destroyed, and we were
all wet. Night came on, and we were
in a deplorable condition. When day
light broke we saw the Catalpa and made
for her. When about seven miles from
the vessel saw the colonial steamer
Georgette and police cutter searching
for us, but they could not see us owing
to the rough cross seas. The police
kept the Catalpa in sight while the
steamer went to land. We were then
twenty miles from land, and near Rot
tenness, and rowed with all our strength
to the bark. At this time both the Ca
talpa and police boat had discovered us,
but we headed the police cutter and
reached the Catalpa first, and scrambled
on board. The crew of the bark gave %
cheer, and we rushed over to the. other
side of the deck and drew our revolvers,
and presented them at the heads OF
seven men IN the police boat. The
steamer Georgette was commissioned by
the Government officials to follow us.
The bark could net go to sea that night
as the wind was dead ahead. The next
morning the Georgette bore down on us
and demanded that the Captain Of the
Catalpa give up the prisoners, which
the latter refused, and the Georgette
sailed for the shore.
