MUSHROOM CAVES.=The famou
mushroom caves of Paris are, in re-
ality, deserted stone quawies in the
suburbs of the city. They are en-
tered by shafts, and consist of a Sc
ries of dark, low, long corridors
Their floors are covered with long
lines of narrow beds, made of rich
compost of earth and horse-manure.
The paths between the beds are kept
serupulously clean, and the mush-
rooms are carefully cultured. One
of these caves at Montrouge, just
outside of the Notifications of Paris,
contains seven miles of beds and
yields an average of 500 pounds of
mushrooms daily.
Near Frepillon, an hours ride
from Paris, there is another class of
caves or old quarries, that have a
lofty interior, with something of the
aspect of vast cathedral. In 1867,
one of these caves had run of 2I
miles of mushroom beds. During
that same year over 5000 pounds of
mushrooms were daily sent to Paris
from Prepillon. The crops vary ac-
cording to certain atmospheric and
other conditions, and at intervals
the great quarries refuse to yield a
profitable crop. They are then thor
oughIy cleansed, the very soil being
scraped out, and are left to lie fall
low for a year or two.

Nor TOO OLD.-While arguing a
case before the United States Su.
preme Court, in Washington, few
days ago, Mr.. Albert Pike made
very clever reply to an objection of
Attorney General Pierrepont. The
Attorney General had questioned
the evidence of one of Mr.. Pixies
witnesses, on the ground of the ex-
treme age of the seventy three
years and presumptive failure of
his faculties. Well, your Honors,
said Mr.. Pike, I don't altogether like
that myself; for 1 am sixty-ihree
years old, and in little while / shall
be seventy, and even seventy-thee,
and am somewhat sensitive about
old men with no memories. / see on
the bench before me one Justice
hearing this case who is sixty-nine
years old, another who is seventy
two, and would like to ask with
what force the Attorney Generals
argument strikes them, that a man
has no memory at their ages? Mr..
PierrepOnt yielded the point. Gu
riously enough, the client for whom
Mr.. Pike was arguing was ex-Gov-
ernor Rector, of Arkansas, with
whom he had once fought duel.

ADAMS BABY CLoTHEs.- Phil

item ~ a6s
In one case are some tiny gar
of linen and needle-work. The
paper pinned to them announces
that they are the baby clothes worn
by John Quincy Adams, exhibited
by Mrs. Charles Francis Adams. In
connection with these funny in
cident occurred while / was in the
museums After looking at all the
relics, I sat down on bench which
was part of the church pew once oc-
cupied by Washington, lafayette
and others, and watched the move
ments of party who had just come
in. Among them was a fussy old
lady in spectaeles and black alpaca,
who exactly filed my ideal of the
typical mother-in-law. She seemed
to resent everything she could not
understand, and received with
contemptuous sniff the information
which her younger companion gave
concerning the articles in the case.
Finally, one of them called her to
come and see John Quincy Adams
baby clothes. She only caught the
last words, and burst out, as one
who had been imposed upon past
endurance "Adqsn's baby clothes |!
/ don't beliegeit, How could he have
had any ? He never was Z baby,
and there was nobody to make him
clothes if he had been one !; and, be-
sides, they could nothaye been kept

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION
Twelve Persons KiIIed Outright and

PITTsBURG, October l2,--At the time
of the explosion there were fifty men
and boys working in the building,
which was literally torn to pieces. The

before the wreck was in flames. Partial

Andrew Sullivan, tiremen, Frank
Clapp, Peter Hendricks, John and Jos
Anderson, feeders, two others named
McCaflerty and an unknown man
whose head was blown Off and whose
has not been identified. A long list of
wounded men is reported. The scenes
on the outside in the vicinity of the
works for considerable distance were
of the widest and most heart-rending
character. The news ofthe explosion
spreaded liked wild fire throughout the
city in short time. People began to
gather from all points. Men
and children who had relatives
and friends in the establishment
rushed franticaIly forward. a scene of
the widest confusion followed and the
police, with rope extended across the
sire ct, kept the surging crowd from in
terfering with the successful work of
the firemen and their apparatus. The
chief Of police, with IA large body of
patrolmen, were kept busy in keeping
back the crowd and assisting in carry
ing out the wounded and killed from
under the debris. The Office Of the
works, on the corner Of Etna street,
opposite Mill street, where the eXplo
sion occurred, was considerably used
up. The building was improvised into
