VARIOUS TOPICS.
THE largest safe in the world has Just
been completed for the United States
sub-treasury in New York. 1t is as
as large as an average farm house.
The moustache is again for the thou
sandth time the subject of legislation in
France, the clerks of the Bank of France
having been forbidden to wear this
manly appendage. The BARRIERS in tha
country ought to be well versed in tht
doings of the legisla tive power, the con
dition of their business being so depend
ent of the condition of the laws on the
question of shaving or no shaving.
IT will be remembered that Engineer
Collins, of the Lake Shore railroad, who
was on the fated train that met with
such disaster at Ashtabula, was charged
with having made way with himself from
remorse at his supposed responsibility
for the accident. The result of an in
vestigation, however, goes to show that
he was killed by hired ruffans in the in
crest of certain parties whom he might
have criminased.
Mr.. BERGH's sympathies have been 20
exbaustingly drawn on in behalf of
dumb animals that he actually seems to
have lost some of the natural feeling for
his own species. At the International
Humane Society he opposed a PROPOSE
tion to add children to the "animals"
that the society should protect, partly
because "his experience had made him
suspicious of humanity, and he had
found that cats and dogs are honorable
by comparison"
Ex.CHIEF JusTiCE SALMON p. CHASE,
is buried at Oak Hill cemetery, on
Georgetown Heights, near Washington,

of Freedom on the dome of the capitol.

Washington, with Alexandria beyo
can be viewed at glance. Near his
grave is the grave of Edwin NJ. Stanton,
and in the same neighborhood is buried
General Jesse H. Reno, who was killed
at the battle of South Mountain.

WHEN Henry NJ. Stanley delivered
his lecture ut Cambridge, some of the
undergraduates behaved very bad. Mr..
Stanley noticed the disturbance by
stating that nothing he had heard since
he left interior Africa reminded the
native from Mtesa's country so much Of
the shouts and shrieks of the csnnibals
as did the cries of the young gentlemen
of Cambridge university, and his report
to the great emperor Of the scene would
be very curious.
In consequence of the new law against
socialism in Germany, several of the OBJ
noxious papers are anticipating suppress
sion by announcing their suspension.
But among their advertisements they
ZACH announce the foundation of new
paper published by themselves. The
Por,carts, particularly violent socialist
organ, announces that new paper
called the Reform Journal is about to
appear. Other papers inform their read
ers that they will henceforth have to
change their style, while fully maintain
ing the party's programme.
THEY have gang of counterfeiters in
the west who are either very facetious
or conscientious, or both. They have
devoting their talents to the coming of
bogus one cent pieces of the issue of 1868,
and so far rs they have striven to initiate
the true coin their success has been COM
plete. But for some reason they have
purposely varied the device of the coin
in one or two details, one of which is the
introduction of the word mot" before
the inscription zone cent" making il
read "not one cent" The "not +" is in
small letters, and would not be noticed
except on close inspection.
WALKING as an exercise and recrea-
tion is becoming popular with the ladies
of New York, and club of fourteen
ladies has been formed, having for its
object the pursuit of this exercise. They
call themselves the Saturday Morning
Walking Club" probably because they
walk on Friday afternoons. They dc
not try long walks, their sole aim being
to secure healthful and pleasant exercise
in the open air, amid picturesque scene
ry as far from the city limits as possible
Their first walk, taken the other day wa
about four miles in length, and it is the
intention of the ladies to supplement il
with others, at least once week, as Ion,
as the weather permits.
A BAD penny always returns, it i
said, but one instance is recorded wher
good silver half-dollar returned to ii
possessor after a circulation of twent
years. A man living in Canton, Ohio
had in his possession about twenty-fiv
years ago q silver half dollar with th
date 1928, and that being his natal yes
be cut his name on it, and thought t
retain it as relic. But few year
after he paid it cut by mistake, and fc
twenty years it took its course in tn
general circulation. A few days ago b
sent his little daughter to neighborin
town on an errand, and upon her retur
she gave him some change, and with
was the identical half.dollar with h
name cut ON it.
Two objects are to be sought in churc
music, religious impression and religion
expression. 1t is a crude notion that 4
music is legitimate in church excel
