Chariots Of Ancient BritOns.

When Caesar first landed in Britain,
the most fourishing branch OF the manu-
featuring industry was the coach, OF
rather the chariot, building business.
The Romans had seen pretty samples
of chariot work in Gaul and Belgium,
but the British Car, or chariot, was q
hie Improvement on the continental arti.
'ele. It was to the foreign car as the
curricle is to the gig. When the Ro-
mans captured Cassibelannus, they took
with them no less than six hundred cars,
and the British car, soon after it was
known, became the fashion for people
who could afford to keep one.
Cicero thought there was little in the
island worth transporting to Rome, ex-
cept those masterpieces of workmanship
and painting, the British war chariot.
"May I trouble you," he writes to a
friend in Britain, "to bring me over one
as q pattern I" There can be no ques-
ton that when a dozen or 30 dlstm-
guished gentlemen in ROME first ap..
peared on the highway in the novelty OF
novelties, a British chariot, with Its
coachman ON the pole, and half dozen
grooms running by its side, there was a
sensation in polite circles only to be
paralleled by meet of the four-in-hand
at Central Park, New York.

A Strange Theft By q Mouse.

A very amusing incident occurred one
night recently at the residence OF b. a.
Bennett in New Preston. Mr.. G. @.
Kenney and wife, of New York, were
STAYING there for short time, and on
the night in question they retired to their
room at IN early hour. Mr.. Kenney took
the precaution to place large roll OF
bills in the heel Of his boot. The out
side bill happened to bea ten-dollar note
Accordingly, after arranging his money
carefully in the boot, and thinking no
burglar could find it, he retired for the
night. What was his astonishment In
the morning to find the ten-dollar bill
was gone! Search was made throughout
the apartment, but no trace of the miss
ing money could be found. 1t was Ger
tainly very mysterious. Onlyone OF the
roll of bills was gone. After spending
many hours in the search, Mrs. Kepney
removed stand and noticed one corner
of the lost bill protruding from small
mouse hole. The little burglar had en-
tered the apartment and succeeded IN
dragging the bill the whole length OF the
room to it's hole, where it luckily caught
on nail. The hole was 80 small that
the bill could only be extracted In small
pieces. The burglar is still at large, al
though the owner of the house offers
large reward for his apprehension

Words Of Wisdom.
Upright walking is sure walking.

Upright walking is sure walking.
Virtue and happiness are near kin.
Small faults indulged are little
thieves.
You never lose by doing a good turn.
The boughs that bears most hang
lowest.
One hour to-day is worth two to-mor-
row.
Not to hear conscience is way to
silence it.
Zeal without knowledge is fire without
light.
Proud looks make foul words in fair
faces.
Learning makes man fit company for
himself.
From the lowest depth there is path
to the loftiest height.
We often hate for one little reason,
when there are a thousand = why we
should love.
AS indiscreet person is like an un-
sealed letter, which every one may read,
but which is seldom worth reading.
Gold is but poor legacy in compari-
son with immortal thought. The one ls
human, worthless the other divine, in
valuable.
Lost, Yesterday, somewhere between
sunrise and sunset, two golden hours,
each set with sixty diamond minutes. Nc
reward ia offered, for they are gone for.

HThe Champion idiot"

Most of these incurable idiots are
unable to speak-says writer In the
New York Herald, speaking Of recent
visit paid by him to the asylum for idiot
children on Randall's Island, New York
incapable even of learning more than
few words or, at most, sentences. The
champion" among these is unques-
tionably Johnny Rouse. He is now
thirty-eight years old, and has been In
the Idiot asylum fifteen or twenty years.
johnny was born in the Sixth ward in
this city, and it may be said that ne
never had an idea in his life. His only
sense seems to be that of sensation. He
has been blind for some years, but his
hearing is not impaired, and he possesses
a faculty which is something like memo
nv. "What time is it, Johnny?" asked
Mr. Osborne. He reached out for the
stewards watch chain, and, not finding
it, he seemed puzzled. When the watch
was put in his hand he placed it to his
ear and, after listening to it awhile, he
exclaimed: "Two." With Johnny
Rouse it is always two o'clock. and
"two" is perhaps the only word he can
utter, except "boom," with which he
accompanies a rifle practice in which ne
is constantly indulging. "His mother
was here to see him last week, " said the
nurse, "and she said she wished he was
dead. But it's the way with all of them.
It's seldom they come to see their chill
dren here, and when they do come they
say Il wish the poor thing was dead. "
A more remarkable curiosity than
Johnny Reuse cannot be found the
world over. He is diminutive in size,
being scarcely four feet nine inches in
height, with q face of corresponding
meagreness. His head and face are OF
the true idiotic type, and both together
are not much larger than an ordinary
baseball. There is no brow and only an
excuse for a forehead. The top OF the
head measures less than two inches In
any direction, and the coal black hair,
which seems stuck on like wig on the
back part of the Uranium, only adds to
the absurdity of this pitiful freak OF
nature. When the Herald reporter saw
Johnny Rouse he was in high spirits and
seemed intent upon going somewhere on
q picnic. He frisked and capered like q
child, and "boomed away the happy
moments which to him make up the
span of an aimless existence. An emil
nent New York physician, the reporter
was told, has made Johnny's organiza.
tion and history the subject Of learned
paper and has. made plaster cast OF that
wonderful head.

A Tarantula's Nest.

The nest of a tarantula (spider) has
been found ia California OF the most
singular construction. 1t is about three
inches in length by two in diameter,
built in adobes, the wall being nearly
half an inch thick. Inside of this is a
projection, which nearly divides it into
two apartments, about an inch in diane
ter. The inside is lined with white
downy substance, not unlike velvet, and
presents one of the cleanest and most
tidy little households imaginable. But
the most curious part of it is door,
which fits into an aperture, and closes 1t
hermetically. The door is secured by a
hinge, formed of like fbrous substance
as the lining of the house, and upon
which it swings with freedom. The nest
is occupied by dozen little tarantulass,
which seem to subsist on a yellow secret
ell substance, that appears upon the
walls of the front apartment. The ar
rangement of the door for the protection
of the little inmates indicates great IN
stinctive architectural knowledge.

Ppeple of Weight.

The champion fat man of North Care
lima is Captain James F. Jones: He is
six feet one inch and kicks the beam at
CAT pounds. Barnum has been after
him.
A pair of boot lasts have been made
for Leonard Wilcox. of Rome, n. Y,
who is seven feet in height and weighs
600 pounds. The lasts are twenty-five
inches in length, seven in height and
eighteen around the instep.
Near Avon, Mo-, is Miss Evans, who
is q curiosity. She is only ten years old,
but is, probably, the largest girl OF her
age in the world. Her height is about
five feet, and she weighs 14S pounds:
Her features are even and pretty, and
her manner is lively. One would take
her to be about eighteen. She can do
more work, Notwithstanding her super.
abundance of flesh, than most girls at
twice her age.

Cross and Crescent" " in a Back Yard.

Few persons suspect the interest which
the Younger portion of our population
feel in the progress of the European
struggle, and the familiarity with its de-
tails which they evince in their daily
conversation and intercourse. An up
town gentleman on reaching home the
other afternoon found his wife out and
the house all upside down. The beds
had been stripped of blankets and coun-
terpanes, the tables denuded OF their
covers, table cutlery, broomsticks, and
various kinds Of household hardware
were strewn over the stairs and floors;
in short, it looked as if burglars had been
through the establishment and LETT IN q
hurry.
Just as he contemplated the devasta-
ton, Bridget, the cook, came rushing up
stairs with despair depicted on every
lineament of her face. "Och, Mlsther
b" she gasped out. "I'm SO glad
viz have come home. Shure THIN boys
is murtherin' each other in the back
yarrud."
In an instant he threw oren the back
window, and the sight that met his eyes
showed the situation at glance. All
the bows in the neighborhood, from SIX
teen down, were there engaged in SET
Ting the Eastern question in style that
would have made Won Moltke howl
with envy. For moment tNe Turks,
led on by one boy in baggy trowsefs
(which proved to be his fathers red
flannel drawers) and armed with cheese
knife in one hand and dirty white
towel on stick representing the banner
of the Prophet) in the other, appeared
to have the advantage, and had cornered
the Russian army, composed OF SIX boys
with rakes and pitchforks, between the
hen house and the back fence. Several
other boys with bloody noses and black
eyes sat on the grass-plot, personating
the Christian victims of the atrocities In
Bulgaria. The czar had already lost one
of his front teeth, and the Khedive OF
Epypt was to be seen seeking safety by
inglorious fight through back lot. car:
rying off the parlor table cloth, rolla

this moment England interfered IN the
shape of ten boys, who had been con-
cealed in the back ares, but who now
charged forth with rolling sticks, nat
irons and pokers, simultaneously with o
Grand onset of Cossacks and Mamelukes
Who had lain in reserve behind the fence,
