LOu;syilIp's Welcome,

The city of Louisville is the most for
tunate locality, probably, in the United
States, ana it ought to have larger
population than Chicago or st. Louis.
Great fires and destructive tornadoes are
unknown here. Epldemics are rare,
and make but little Roadway, even
when they get pretty fair start. We're
it not for consumption, the mortuarv
report of this city would be hardly worth
publishing. Then there is its geograph-
zeal position for business its great rail-
road to the South-its water-route to the
gulf; Come down and see us, you people

A Chinese Idea of Hell,

The sixth court is situated at the bot
tom OF the great ocean north of the
Wuchiao rock. 1t is vast, noisy
Gehenna, many leagues in extent, and
around it are sixteen wards. In the first
ward the souls are made to kneel for long
periods on iron shot. In the second they
are placed up to their neck3 in filth. In
the third they are pounded till the blood
runs out. In the fourth their mouths
are opened with iron pincers and filled
full of needles. In the fifth they are
bitten by rats. In the sixth they are
inclosed in net of thorns and nipppd by
locusts. In the seventh they are crushed
to Jelly. In the eighth their skins is
lacerated and they are beaten on the raw.
In the ninth their mouths are filled with
fire. In the tenth they are licked with
flames. In the eleventh they are sub.
jccted to noisOme smells. In the twelfth
they are butted by oxen and trampIed on
by horses In the thirteenth their hearts
are scratched In the fourteenth their
heads are rubbed till their skulls come

In selecting corn for seed it il often the

is not the best method, for, while the
plant may be strong and vigorous and
bear large ears the corn may have been
fortified by pollen from feeble or rtuntcd
plants near it, and the seed may retain
and repeat these adverse qualities in

An Australian Heroine.

THE bravest girl in Australia is Grace
Vernon Russell. The steamer Gcorgette
was wrecked off the west coast, near
Perth; small boat had been capsizcd in
the surf, and women and children were
in the water. On the crest of
precipit0us cliff appeared the figure of q
young lady on horseback. To the sailors
on the stranded vessel IL seemed utterlv
impossible that a horse and its rider should
re able to descend that precipice. But
the young lady never faltered. She
plunged down at full speed, and, reaching
the shore, spurred her horse into the boil
ing surf. There were two lines of roaring
breakers. With splendid pluck she dashed
through them and reached the boat, to
which the affrighted women and children
were clinging. Her horse stumbled over
a hawser which stretched between the
wreck and the small boat; but she chung
to the saddle, and brought the women and
children to land. There was still man
left on board the boat. She plunged into
the breakers again and brought him safe
to the shore. While those when she had
saved were rescuing those who remained
on the wreck, the heroic girl drcnched
with the sea- foam and half fainting with
fatigue, galloped dozen miles hOre to
have relief sent to the half drowned, half
naked folks whom she had left ON the
beach. Her sister, Mrs. Brockman, took
horse, galloped that night through the
woods 10 the shore, taking Tea, milk,
sugar and -four for the destitute people;
and the next day the rescued we're
brought to Mr.. Brockman's house and
cared for. The anxiety and excitement
proved fatal to Mrs. BrOckman, who took
a severe cold, and died eventually of brain
fever. Grace Vernon Russell still lives.

An Ingenious Map.

ABOUT the list Of January, 1876, Prof.
Hitchcock. of the Geological Survey, and
his assistants began the construction of a
raised map of New Hampshire, the de-
sign of which vas to combine all the pres
ent knowledge of the geography of the
State which had been Obtained in the geo.
logical survey made by Prof. Hitchcock,
Prot. Huntington and others. This map
has just been completed, and on Tuesday
was placed in the State House..
The map is fourteen feet ten inches
long. representing 178 miles in length
(being constructed on scale of one mile
TO the inch) and ninety three miles in
width, from the mouth Of the Piscataqua
River to the northwest corner of Hinsdale,
showing the entire surface of the State,
1886 square miles. 1t also shows all the
rivers and brooks, ponds and lakes, hills
and mountains, and the town and county
lines, railroads, etc. The names of all
cities and towns, rivers and principal
brooks, lakes and ponds, mountains end
high elevations, are given conspicuOusly,
80 that any one can find at q glance what
they desire to look up. The height of the
hills and mountains is given on scale of
one inch to 900 feet, and actual measure
ments are given when known.
The map is constructed of pine and
Eastwood, and the process of the work
was this: A map was first drawn on paper
of the same size as the raised map, with
all the outlines IF towns, streams, ponds,
ETC., ana contour lines for each 500 feet
were drawn. Tracings Of the contour
lines were made on inch layers of pine
and bass boards, maintaining as accurate
ly as possible the relative size and shape
These are fastened upon each other. and
the valleys are beveled out with chisels.-

A Mathematical Dog.

SOME TINE ago l sent you my rccOllcc-
lions OF dog who knew ahalfpenny from
a penny and who could count up as far as
two. l have been able to obtain authentic
information Of dog whose mental pow
ers were still more advanced, and who,
in his day, beside being celebrated for his
abil ties. was of substantial benefit to a
charitable Institution in his town. The
dog refer to was little white fox terrier,
Prin by name, who lived at the Lion
Hotel at Kidderminster for three OF four
years but now, alas! he is dead, and
nothing remains of him but his head in a
glass case.
had heard of this dog some months
ago, but having to make = visit to Kid
derminstcr recently I went TO see him.
The facts give about him are based on
the statements of Mr.. Lloyd, his master.
and they arc fully substantiated by the
evidence of many others. l have before
me statement of the proceeds of "Dog
Prin's box, Lion Hotel; subscriptions to
the Infirmary." The contributions began
in September, 1874, and ended on April
%, 1875, and during that period tie sum
of f13 las. ca. was contributed through
Prin's instrumentality.
He began by displaying fancy for
PLAYING with coins, not unusual among
terriers, and he advanced to discovery
that he could exchange the coins for bis
cults. He learnt that for halfpenny he
could get one biscuit, and for penny,
three; and having become able to distin-
guish between the two coins, it was found
impossible to cheat him. If he had con-
tributed penny, he would not leave the
bar till he had had his third biscuit; and
if there was no one to attend to his wants,
he kept the coin in his mouth till he could
be served. Indeed, it was this persistence
which ultimately caused poor Prin's
death, for there is every reason to fear
that he fell victim to copper poisoning.
BY little training he was taught to
place the coins, after he had got the bis
cults, upon the top of a small box fixed
on the wall, and they were dropped for
him through slot. He never objected
to part with them in this way, and having
received the Qusd pro quo, he gave COM
plete evidence of his appreciation of the
honorable understanding which is so alb
solutcly necessary for all commercial
transactions.-Cor. London Spectator.

The fire was discovered in huildinl

the flames had spread before the tirenen
had reached the scene. The engines ar
rived and did their best to stop the flames,
but all efforts were in vain. Nothing
could be done. The flames then spread
to various haifdfngs ON Howe's Wharf,
which were guickly consumed, and the
fire broke out with a roar, into ninth
street, carrying everything before it. F. -om
there the flames SPREAD into Drury la. nc
and Mill street, following tlrat into DocA
street, taking both sides. Ere Iffis, how.
ever, the rear of the London House and
adjacent buildings had been attacked.
