THESE new fifty dollar gold coins are
too heavy to carry around conveniently
When a fellow has forty or fifty of them
stuck around over his person, he feels as
soggy as an ammunition wagon, or ike
truth crushed to earth. Help US green
backs, or we sink !-BrIHSiCjc Ne1CS.
ONLY three persons have life-passes on
the Hudson River Taiload. One Is
John B. Jervis, the first engineer of The
road; another is his wife; and the third is
Gov. Kimball, of West Point. The
passes are made of solid silver, on which
is engraved the name of the holder date
when given, and occupation.
A RECENT writer upon acoustics says:
" Sound, from physical point of view,
may be defined as vibration appreclable
to the ear. It's highest limit is variable,
owing to physiological differences be
tween different ears; but 73, GOO single or
&c, 800 double vibrations per second
probably represent the highest note ever
heard"
In New Hampshire it is only murder
in the second degree for a man to kill his
wife by whipping her with whipstock,
beating her with an ox-goad and pound
ing her with heavy walnut cane. such
at least was the verdict in the Kimball
case, which has just been tried. The
only extenuating circumstances shown
were that it took the murderer three
hours to complete his task, and that he
was compelled to chase his victim all
over the house. Had he killed her with
cne weapon at a single blow he would
probably have been convicted Of murder
in the first degree.
WHEN that cultivated and intellectual
middle-aged person, Miss Mary Ann
Naxon, of Cambridge, Mass, had the
collar of her offensive little poodle IN
scribed "Im Mary Ann MaXons oOg
whose dog are you?" she thought 1t was
rather a clever joke on the casual cltlzeN
who might encounter the pup aud IL
vestigate his reason of being. She was
of that mind for several days. But one
morning the poodle bowling as though
he was carrying all parts of Sirius in the
cbor,1s of the morning stars, and sudden,
as if fired out of a gun, shot into the
Maxon presence, with his tail tucked
very close, and a business card tied on 10
his collar Divining that some one had
set this poodle up in the oarrleT-uoVe
business, Miss Maxon seized the mlsslVe
and read: ''Turpentine is what ails me
what ails yOu?'
THE following is from Turkish major
general: "The battle was very fierce
and lasted for three hours, and glory to
God, five of the enemy were killed" An
admiral, in announcing the loss of an
irOn-clad, says: "The steam launches
approached to within short distance, and
may God preserve the remaining ships of
our feet. At this time the imperial
iron clad called the Sword of the Lord
received blow from a torpedo of the fish
kind, which preceded from the steam
launch, and it exercised such aninhuence
on her stern that she sank, and, thanks
to the Most High, all the officers and
crew escaped. This sad occurrence was
doubtless a necessity to the great God,
and, as is well known, He always gives
victory after such defeat" A fight in
the Caucasus is thus reported " We had
ten martyrs and twelve wounded, which
we cannot but ascribe to the spiritual aid
of the prophet and to the favor shown by
the Almighty God to our gloriOns sui
tan, the refuge of universe. ."-IoT0nto
