A Curious Romance.

Norfolk Street, Strand, says the London
Court Journal, has a curious commemo-
rative monument. An observant specta-
tor will notice that the first floor windows
of large house at the corner of Howard
Street presents peculiar appearance.
The shutters are up, and they are COW
cred thickly with dust, while through the
chinks can be seen the blinds, also thick
with dust and mouldering away with age.
Those shutters and blinds have been in
exactly the same position, untouched for
about fifty years. During that time no
human foot, it is believed, has entered
that room. And the reason is this
Fifty years ago a certain nobleman was
engaged to be married, the day was fixed,
the wedding morning arrived, the break
fast was laid out in that spacious and
handsome room, the bridegroom was
ready to proceed to church, when it was
discovered that the bride was missing;
note in her handwriting was found ad-
dressed to the bridegroom, briefly in
forming him that she had eloped that
morning with his "best man." gay and
gallant captain of dragons; the jilted
bridegroom did not say much, but he
went alone into the room in which the
wedding breakfast was laid out, with his
own hands put up the shutters and drew
down the blinds, locked the door and
took the key. He gave orders that the
door should be nailed up and barred
with paddock bars and that no one should
enter the room again. When the house
was let it was stipulated that the room in
question should remain untouched and
the sum of two hundred pounds per an.
mum was paid to the tenant to compcn-
safe him for the deprivation of the use Of
the room. The nobleman has been dead
for some years, but It'll believed the room
has not been entered sincehe closed it,and
there are the wedding meats" moulder.

KING GEORGE AND THE REPoRrER.-
Preachers and lecturers often feel vexed
at the blunders of reporters. These SER
viceable gentlemen sometimes miss the
speakers line of argument, and put into
his mouth thoughts and words which he
cannot recognize as his own. It is quite
possible that the speaker may be more to
blame than the reporter, and may fail to
make his ideas Ineligible to the hearer.
We have read reports of speeches
which were much pleasanter and more
clearly expressed than were the speeches
themselves.
A capital story is told of King George
ii. of England. A printer had published
spurious speech as the Royal Address.
The Ministers were indignant and deter
mined to punish him severely for his i'm
pudence. But the King, hearing Of their
intention, said, good-humoredly, II hope
the mans punishment will be Of the mild
est sort, because I have read both, and 20
Ear as I understand either of them, I like
The spurious apeech better than ny Oun.-

PRACTICAL USE OF Doas.-It is fact
perhaps not generally known that there
is firm doing business in San Francisco
who purchase the thousands of dogs
slaughtered by the Pound Master of that
city, or that may have been otherwise
killed, for which they pay forty cents
each. The carcasses are conveyed to
their manufactory at South San Fran
cisco, where the skins are removed and
sold to the tanneries, the hair taken off
and re-sold to the plasterers, the hide
tanned, made into gloves, and sold in the
market. The denuded carcass is then
thrown into huge caldron, and boiled
until the bones are easily separated from
the flesh, when they are ground to a fine
powder and used to clarity sugar. The
oil that rises to the surface Of the boiling
mass Is skinned of and manufactured
into cod liver oil, and the remainder is
used for the purpose Of fattening hogs.

THE TRAINING OF RAILROAD MEN,
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has, within the past few years, adopted
the policy of taking number of edu-
Gated young men into in employment
for railroad management, 80 as TO produce
a regular supply of not only educsted
but practical officials. At the present
time there are from twenty to thirty
such men employed in Altoona, some
of them in the drawing room, Others
in the shops and on the road. The
testing department and the wheel
foundry are both under the charge of
such persons. Many of the sections Of
track are also supervised by them, and
the practical result is that there is grow.
ing up about this line corps of expert.
enced and accomplished officials, such
as cannot be found on any other railroad
in the country. OF course, these men
are laughed at good deal by the older
and more experienced men-perhaps at
times with some justice; but although
there may be at. times some amateur
railroading, those who are laughed at do
not seem to mind the sneers Of the older
men, and the evil Of inexperience, If it be
one, will cure itself in time, and when
cured the policy will bring with it an
immense additional advantage of having
body Of men who are both experienced
and educated In the ordinary sense of
that term. There is such thing as
valuing too much the knowledge which
comes from study alone, and that which
is learned from practical experience too
little, and perhaps the practice of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company may
have erred in this respect; but generally
there has been shown an appreciation of
the value Of intelligence, Of knowledge,
and Of education, such as no other rail-
road has indicated.

LEGISLATIVE PRINTING.
THE CONTRACT AWARDED TO J. Is. PARMESTRR FOR
$i7,50O-TIE CHEAPEST PRINTING FoR THIRTY
my IFIk0RAPH 10 TIE TRIBisEI


ALBANY Feb. s.-Thc contract for Legislative
printing was awarded to-day, by Secretary of state
Bixeow and Controller Robinson, Ia j. Is. Pamenter
of Jho Troy Pres, at the rate of $4,000 year
This is said to be the favorable contract Ia the
State ever awarded since the printing has been done
by contract This gross sum il 10 include all print
ing done for the use of the Legislature, all extra
work ordered by the Legislature for the use Of the
State officers societies &c, 10 he paid for under the
detailed bid. This extra printing will amount To
ture II purpOscly eXtravagant. This form OF con-
tract would seem to put an end to the pernicous
practice that has prevailed of paying for all extra
work outside of the contract as well as all work
ordered to DE done under direction Of the Clerk.
As the contract must by law be awarded for two
wears the remainder of this session and the portion
of the session Of 1873, extending to two years from
to-day, will he counted one legislative session.
The contractor will be paid i'll regular monthly pay
ments, D per cent of all payments being retained
until the completion OF all the work under the
tract While the prices for extra printing in Par
menter's bid more than 80 per cent higher than
in the Others the lump bid il very much the lowest.
That of Hugh Hastings, for instance was $S5, 900.
The figure Of the present contract is lower than the
amount paid for Legislative printing In any year for
the last 80 years. The amount expended Of late
years has considerably exceeded 100000. The
argus Company will do the printing for Mr.. Par
menter.
