Nineyah was fourteen miles long,
eight miles wide and forty six miles
round, with wall one hundred feet
high and thick enough for three
chariots abreast. Babylon was fifty
miles within the walls, which were
seventy-five feet thick and one hun
dred feet high, with one hundred bra
zen gates. The Temple of Diana at
Ephesus was four hundred and twen-
ty feet to the support of the roof-it
was one hundred years in building.
The largest of the pyramids was
four hundred and eighty one feet in
hight and eight hundred and fifty
three feet on the sides. The base
covered eleven acres. The stones are
about sixty feet in length, and the
layers are two hundred and eight.
1t employed $50. 900 men in building.
The labyrinth in Egypt contains
three hundred chambers and twelve
halls. Thebes, in Egypt, presents
ruins twenty-seven miles around, and
$4,000 citizens and 40O,-

Emperor Nero carried away from it
200 statues. The walls of Rome
were 13 miles around.

offered her fruit to Il vessel captain

AZ piees for=her apples. He gave her
pleasant look aud said:
"Well, well. Why you look as
young as you did ten years ago. Same
bright eyes and red cheeks-same
white teeth"
"Take an apple for two cents, cap
tain" she replied.
81 presume you are fifty years old, y"
he continued, "bnt who'd know it?
Lots of ladies at thirty look as old as
you do"
Take an apple for cent, cap

rose.
"SOme rich old fellow will come
along some day, searching for bux

PRoF. CRooKEs, of London, has &C
tually succeeded IN weighing the
light of a candle although light has
hitherto been considered impondera-
BILE. The principle of his delicate
and complicated instrument is based
on the fact that fine thread of glass
suspended at one end may be turned
round twenty or thirty times without
breaking and has tendency to un-
twist ITSELF By fastening such a
thread in a tube and throwing a ray
of light on the interior, it has been
found possible, with the aid of other
scientific applianc 5, to register the
revolutions and tensions caused by
the introduction of the light of a
candle into the tube, the result of
which is that it weighs about
0 001728, or nearly two thoussndth
part of grain. Taking this as an
approximate starting point, we find
that the light thrown out by the sun
on the earth is equal to about thirty
two grains to the square foot, or fifty
seven tons to the square mile, or 8,
900, 100000 tons on the whole earth,
q force that, but for grayitation,
would drive our planet into space.

A Mormon by the name of Fulmer,
who had been chosen among the
faithful to go on a mission to Ari-
zona, called upon Brigham Young.
"Married?' queried the prophet.
Not any, said Fulmer, DER whose
brow forty odd years had left their
imprint.
Must marry, Brother Fulmer, be-
fore you go to Arizona to build up
the kingdom"
Don't know anybody who will
have me" was the reply.
"Pll find some one. Do YOU know
Brother Brown in the Seventeenth
ward? Well he has several dauoh-
ters; you 20 to Brother Browns and
tell him : want you to marry one of
his daughters"
Fulmer left and obeyed counsel to
the letter. Knocking at the door, he
was admitted by Brother Brown, who,
upon learning what was wanted. call
ed in his several daughters to be Sc
lected from. FuImer taking his
choice, Brown told the girl to ret
ready in fifteen minutes. "I'Il do as
you say" was the meek reply, as she
walked out.
"Thats the way raise my daugh-
ters; if they disobey me, there's war

A WRITER in a leading German
quarterly says that the peasantry of
Russia are in a worse condition than
they were when Alexander II abol-
ished serfdom fourteen years ago.
They do not live so well, and idle
ness, drunkenness, tramping, blood
shed, and arson have increased to a
frightful extent. The writer at
tributes this result to the bad man.

peasant is the slave of the Commune,
which controls his person and his
property in such way as to leave
him no liberty. The Commune is
more despotic than the master used
to be.

Spiritualism I'm Japan.

lady who casts out evil spirits from
suffering people, and cures them of
all their complaints. When fever is
epidemic she is an important person

accomplish imposed upon her. An
other old woman. rejoicing in the
name of Oshakakababa, is cente-

The blundering Democrats of Con-
gress are in bad way. They are
driven to defend themselves against
the charge of having sent Marsh off.
They undertook to make it appear
that the Administration frightened
Marsh off, but it turned out that
Marsh was away several hours be-
fore the President knew anything of
his testimony. Now they have arti
cles of impeachment against Belk-
nap, who is unquestionably guilty,
but not a scrap of evidence. The
prosecution is not prepared to prove
anything, and, so far as Congress is
concerned, the rascal Belknap might
walk off. But he has been proceeded
against through the Courts, and put
under bonds to stand his trial.
Meanwhile Marsh, the important wit
ness, and his wife, who is wanted in
other cases, are in Canada.-Cincis-

The Duel Between Clay and
Randolph.

The eccentric duel between Clay
and Randolph has had many differ
ent versions. hut the following are
the facts: Randolph appeared bright
and early on the ground, dressed in
morning gown and slippers. After
the distance was measured off and
the antagonists had taken their posi-
tiOns, the seconds said, "Are you
ready, gentlemen" Then followed
the usual "One-two-three." CLAY.
being an expert marksman. took
deadly aim and fret, carrying away
a portion of Randolph's garment, in
close proximity to his back. Atthe
same time Randolph discharged his
pistol in the air, but finding that he
was not wounded, and seeing the dent
made in his garment, he ran up to
his opponent, at the same time ex-
tending his hand, and in his shrill,
squeaking voice, said, "Henry Clay!
Henry Clay! you owe me new
coat" Clay accepted the protfered
hand, and in his eloquent and digri-
fled manner replied, John Randolph,
| thank God Almighty that 1 am no
deeper in yonr debt" After this
event the great statesmen were fast
friends until the death of Randolph,
which soon after took place in Phila-
on which occasion Clay WAS
Mt his bedside, and one of the chief
mourners ut his funeral.
