list, who was assisted by the Misses Wade

strumental music, closed with Il concert
on Thursday eve of last week. While
home talent was very literally represent
ed we were made exceeding glad to note
so many singers from abroad, some of
whom mark high. 1t would be mock
modesty in us not to mention the fact that
every thing in the power of our people
was done to make time pass pleasantly
with our stranger guests. The limited
attendance upon the convention and con-
cert, we hope will be remedicd next time.
These unions lend harmony to the voice,
strengthen confidence in personal ability,
and acquaint and unite more fully the
brotherhood of song. While we take oc-
casion to mention some of the many fine
voices which took part in the exercises of
Thursday eve we trust no one will take
exceptions to any sleight commissions
which may occur, we must not fail to
mention the "Trill' renderedin song by
Prof. Whitney on Wednesday afternoon

which was generally unnoticed by those
present.

of an opera solo by Prof. Whitney was

A Fight With q Maniac.

Our Warrington correspondent tele.
graphs that an outrage of an cxtraOrdina.
~ character occurred yesterday in the
express train which leaves Lime street,
Liverpool, at 10 80 a. m. for Chester. This
train does not stop between Edgehill and
Chester. When it left the first-named
station there were three occupants in one
compartment, Mr.. Ellis, of Liverpool ian
artist, and q man named Thomas Holmes
and his father. both laborers, and the
worse for drink. Shortly after the train
passed Ruscorn, the younger Holmes, who
had been restless for some time, drew out
a knife and attempted to cut the throat OF
Mr.. Ellis. The latter thought that money
was wanted, and he gave him his purse.
This the mailman threw out of the window,
and watch that was offered him shared
the same fate. In the struggle Mr.. Ellis
received knife wounds in the neck and
face. He and the young mans father
cndeavOred to overpOwer the mailman,
He afterward attempted to get through
the window, and eventually succeeded,
after biting Mr.. Ellis thumb on his right
hand, and injuring one of his fingers. Al
this time the train was near Froisham
anu tue SlSnal DelnS against IL, IL nau u
draw up, and the mailman fell from the
carriage into the six foot way just as
the train was stopping. Information was
at once given to the police, and the man
was taken into custody, and will be
brought before the magistrates when
in a fit state to appear. The injured
man was attended to as soon as possible
by DIR. Robinson, of Frodsham. From
inquiries made it would seem that young
Holmes buried his wife last Sunday, since
which time he has been drinking. He
and his father intended to get out al
Garston, but got into the wrong train al

Practical Joke ON . Broker.

A popular stock broker, whom we shall
call Waffies, was q victim, the other day,
of pretty serious joke. 1t seems that he
and another member of the Brokers'
Board, named Keith, have been for some
time washing" or making q fictitious
quotation for wildcat stock called Jim
Jams. Cninitiated spectators in the Board
room could never understand why Waffles
would regularly shrek +" soldl" whenever
Keith offered 500 shares of Jimjam at
$3.50, when q dozen other brokers were
frantically Offering the same stock at four
bits. Now, Waffles is near-sighted, but,
as Keith has had bad cold recently and
always wore light yellow overcoat and a
silk handkerchief round his neck, the
former had no difficulty in finding him
whenever Jimjams was called.
Last Wednesday Keith was too sick to
leave the house, which fact accidentally
came to the ears of another broker, named
Smith. Smith thoughtfully considered
the circumstances while, and then Dor
rOwed light overcoat. Then he bought
q silk handkerchief. When he had gotten
into these he pulled his hat over his eyes
and repaired to the Board. Jimiams was
soon called. 1.-TWO dollars and fifty cents
for thousand!" yelled Waffles, looking
at Smith. "Soldl'' 1.-TWO dollars and
twenty-five cents for five hundrea!''
shouted Wafiies eagerly. "Sold" scream
ed Smith. And SO it went on until Smith
had unloaded 5000 shares, which he had
previously contracted for at four bits.
When the sales were called, in few sec.
onds, Waff1es started, rushed up and took
. close look ut the man with the yellow
coat. He then gave y groan and SIT down
in cold perspiration. San Francisco

nestle cares. One of her whims is the
collection of large wardrobe, and her
manner of keeping It; one of the rooms
of the house is filled up as q show. room
or rather store.room for keeping her
dresses. As she delights to show the
apartment to her friends, there is no par.
ticular privacy about it. She emulates
the mOdistes and man-miliners In this,
that her costumes areall displayed on lay
figures. A lady who recently saw them,

are omitted from costumes intended for

tons to prevent dirt coming from the
house furnace-there are triple doors to
go through to enter the room, vestibules
for each window, and evap0rators and
patent appliances for absorbing dust in
every corner. Visitors are requested to
be "dusted" before entering the room,
and the affectatiOn of horror of dust has
become a mania. Thu dinner parties
given by this lady and her esteemed hus-
band are among the most enjoyable in the
metropolis, but her dementia concerning
dust and dresses is evident. The gentle
man is 80 amused by his wife's within that

ness enterprise Is 90 wide that true pict-
ure of the two classes would look almost
incredible.
The farms of the Swiss, German,
French or English peasant proprietors, as
they are termed, are much smaller than
the farms iii America, and are more thor
oughly titled. Nothing indeed can et-
coed the industry of the Swiss and Ger
man farmers. From the small child to
the old grandfather all have certain fixed
duties, which are diligently and faithfully
attended 10. Mr.. Hewitt says they
labor early and late. There is not an
hour of the year they do not find unceas.
ing occupation. In the depth OF winter
they find something to do. They carry
out manure to their lands willie the frost
il in them.
We have few examples of such untiring
work. 1t is not perhaps SO necessary, yet
if American farmers were to take few
lessons in German and Swiss industry and
economy they would doubtless be benefit
ed in more than one way. The ease with
which our farmers grow their crops and
cattle gives them more leisure. for mental
culture, but it has tendency to disturb
that steady, systematic labor which makse
the farms of the European peasants, 50
productive and beautiful, and which fur
nishes them with everything which a
plain simple living requires.-Detrott

Hang Your Gates Higher.

In regions of country where snow OBJ
structs the free swinging of gates it will
save vast amount Of shoveling snow to
hang the gates higher on the hinge post.
When it is not necessary to open and close
q gate frequently it may be removed from
the hinges SO that the gateway may be en-
tirely clear. When the hinge post is suf-
ficiently high to receive another set of
hinges, say one foot or more above those
that are already secured to the post, by
employing another set of hinge hooks the
gate may be hung foot or more higher
than its proper place in the summer. By
this means the gate will swing freely over
the snow, except when 1t falls to an un-
usual depth. When the hinge post is
short let piece of timber or large scant-
ling be bolted to the hinge post, then
drive another set Of hinge hooks into this
timber, on which tie gate can be hung
two or more feet from the ground, If it is
desirable to have it swing so high above
the ground.
Hinges are frequently driven SO firmly
into posts or growing trees that it is diff
cult to draw them out Whenever it is
desirable to draw out such hinge bore a
hole trifle larger than the hinge close to
it on the under side. The hinge can then
be driven downward into the hole and
taken out with facility. A large nail or
a spike, even when it is driven clear to
the head, can be taken out simply by bor-
ing hole close to it as deep as the spike
Is driven into the timber. and then with a
steel punch or nail set about crowding the
spike into the h0le.-N. =. Herald.
