Gossip Extraordinary.

There is an extraordinary rumor which
comes from the lips OF SO grave a gossip
as an Episcopal clergyman, who is in
deed not gossip at all, and believes the
story to be true. 1t is that Mrs. Alex
aga E aha Al s tst Tie pfapsfpss 70 marry
groom is clergyman who has been in
charge of tle yet unfinished cathedral
at Garden City. This is superb church,
built somewhat in the form OF tomb,
which is to serve at once as the cathe
dral of the diocese of Long Islands and
a monument for Mr. Stewart. The
plan is one to which there would have
been no objection, il the cathedral had
been fixed at some point in New York
or Brooklyn, where it might have been
a noble ornament to the great city, but
it has been planted in barren plain,
ten miles back of Brooklyn, where Mr..
Stewart was trying to build up subur-
ban city cheap houses. The story
excites no little establishment, because
Mrs. Stewart must be between seven
ty and seventy five years Of age, Mr.
Stewart would have been nearly seven
ty- five if he had lived, and Mrs. Stew
art was said to be of almost his age. The
alleged bridegroom, SO to speak, is about
forty-five.

Couldn't! Cos he Sung So.

Leaning idly over fence few days
since, we noticed little four years.old
+" lord of creation" amusing himself by
watching the frolicsome flight OF birds
which were playing around him. At
length beautiful bobolink perched him
selfupon dropping bough which ex-
tended to within few yards of the place
where the urchin sat, and maintained his
position, apparently unconscious of the
close proximity to one whom the birds
usually consider dangerous neigh
Dor.
The boy seemed astonishcd at his i'm
pudence, and after regarding him steadily
for minute or two, obeying the in
stincts of his baser part, he picked up a
stone lying at his feet, and preparing to
throw it, steadying himself carefully for
a good aim. The little arm was reached
backward without alarming the bird, and
Bob was within an ace or two of damage,
when 10! his throat swelled, and forth
came natures plea! "a link-a link
al in-k-bob-o link, bob-o link, a-no-
weet- weet know it, | knowit link,
n. link don't throw it throw it!' DC
And he didn't. Slowly the little arm
subsidized to it's natural position, and the
despised stone dropped. The minstrel
charmed the murderer! We heard the
songster through, as did the boy, with
a sorrowful countenance. Anxious to
hear an expression of the little fellow S
feelings, we approached him and en-
quired:
"Why didn't you stone him my boy I
You might have killed him and carried
him home
The poor little fellow looked up doubt
ingly,a if he suspected our meaning, and
with an expression of half shame and
half sorrow, he replied:
CoaidRti Cos he sung sou
Who, then, will say that music hath no
charms to soothe the savage breast
Melody awakened humanity, and human
ity mercy The angels who sang at the
creation whispered to the child 5 heart
The bird was saved, and God was glori-
fed by the deed. Dear little boys, don'l
stone the birds!

Penelope, in avoice of deep compass

Notes Oh Shoemaking.

Twenty five years ago, in New Eng.
land, all shoes were made by hand, and
man seldom sat at the bench all day, hut
usually piled some other trade Till night.
fall, and then went to his last To-day
thousands of men and women are en-
ployed daily in perfecting piece of the
shoe by machinery. whilst they are
unable to do anything on the shoe BY
hand
Forty.Gve millions ofpars Of scwed
shoes and So, 0eO 900 ofpairs Of pegged
shoes we're made and sold by the manu-
facturers Of the United States In 1871,
and eighty five per cent, OF the work
done on these shoes was done bv ma
chinery. The nppers are cut out by
hand, simply because of the variableness
of the quality Of the leather in the same
skin. The soles are cut out by machin
try, and the binding, FASTING, closing,
crimping, stitching, heelng and polish
ing are all done by machinery without
the aid Of human hand.
Tho strongest sewed shoes are stitched
with wire screw thread, each stitch
being actually screwed in and the screw
cut Off by an automatic machine, the ex-
act thickness of the sole, whether it be
thin, as in the shank, or thick, as under
the ball of the foot, or still thicker, as
through the heel.
Nine hundred pegs are driven in
shoe in a minute. Four hundred and
fifty thousand bushels of pegs we're used
last year, aud all made by machinery.
The pegs in four pairs of mems shoes
cost one cent.
So perfectly is everything made for
this kind Of manufacture that neither
time nor a scrap of material is lost, Last
fall a shoe manufacturer was burned
out in Lynn on Wednesday. Thursday
ne received his insurance and rented
another house Friday he ordered his new
machinery from Boston, only nine miles
off, received it on Saturday put II up
on Monday, and on Tuesday had all his
force at work turning out as many pairs,
of shoes as he had done before the fire
$4,000 pairs every day. There is a
royalty of two cents on every pair Of
peggcd. and of three and quarter cents
Oh every pair OF sewed shoes made by
machinery.
There were over $4,000 900 worth OF
leather exported in 1877 and yet heavy
duty is levied upon leather
There were 10000 900 lasts made in
the United States in 1877, all turned by
machinery
