Glass Type.

The usefulness of toughened glass,
says an English exchange, bids fair to
be greater and more serious than was
at first supposed. Some experiments
are reported to have been made in
France with view to showing whether
this substance can be pressed into the
printers service and substituted for the
metal composition of which types are
made. The metal does not at first
sight strike the observer as the best
that could be found. It is bright
enough when the letters first come
from the foundry, and before they haye
seen any service; but few days wear
gives them very much more dingy
appearance, and before they are finally
returned to the melting-pot they have
degenerated into very squalid form,
looking dirty in their bodies as well as
battered in their faces. The idea now
is to discard these long proved but I'M
attractive servants and fill their places
with glittering types of glass. The ad-
vantages in point of cleanliness alone
would, I'll alleged, be not Insignificant.
But the Patrie points out that there are
other and more solid improvements in
volved in the new system. The tough
ened glass, which is not to be made in
quite the same way as that used for
tumblcrs and wine glasses, and need
not, Of course, be SO transparent, is
naturally much harder than the old
metal, and can hardly be crushed out
of shape by those little accidents which
so shorten the life and spoil the beauty
Of the only type we now employ. 1t is
also capable OF being cast into more
delicate shapes, so that the difference.

tIi:k strokes can be more clearly de-
fined. Finally, it is now found that the
new material can be cast in exactly the

He Came Back.

Gov. Duval, of Florida, was the son
Of poor Virginian, a stern, strong,
taciturn man. The boy was a huge
youth of fifteen. AT the cabin fire, at
bedtime, according to the custom of
putting on a backlog, the old man
said, between the whiffs of his silent
pipe:
''Tab, go out and bring in that gum
backlog, and put it on the fire.
Tab went out and surveyed the log.
He knew it was of no use explaining
that it was too heavy, nor prudent for
him to return without having it on his
shoulder. His little sister, passing. was
not surprised that he requested her to
bring out the gun and powder-horn, as
possum or coon might have passed, or
the brother might have seen bear signs.
She brought the gun, and Tab started.
He found the way through the woods
into Kentucky, in 1871. After an alb
sence of eighteen years, he was elected
to Congress. A man of immense size
and strength, he started for Washing
ton, going by the way of his old home
to see the folks who had long since CIV
en- him up for dead. Entering the lit
tie cabin door near bedtime, he saw the
identical gum log. He shouldered it,
pulled the latch-string, and with his
load stood before the old man, pipe in
mouth, as quiet as usual.
Here is the gum backlog, father"
swell, you've been long time get
ting it. Put it on the fire and 60 to

Royal Entertainment in Bavaria.

King Louis, Of Bavaria, who, no
doubt, will be known in history under
the name of the Solitary, has lately Civ
en- an original festival, in honor Of the
Crown Prince of Austria. 1t was, as
usual, the night time that the royal
lover of the moon chose to give, in his
winter garden, an entertainment to his
guest. A method Of lighting of the
most ingenious character produced all
the appearance of a tropical sky.
Luminous balloons of all colors gave a
soft light to the entire garden, while an
immense star shone in the midst of
them like sum- In a kiosk, richly
decorated, table was spread with ex-
quisite viands around which were seat
ed the King, the Crown Prince of Aus
tria and the Princess Gisele and her
husband. From this spot the outlook
over mass of lilies embraced the
whole extent of the garden, at the ex-
tremity of which was column sur
mounted by laurel and standing in
the midst of fountain of sparkling
water. Upon the sides, on the right
and left. were paths ornamented with
statues, inviting the guests into groves
filled with musicians. A feast given by
Louis of Bavaria without music would
have been absolutely impossible. There
was, therefore, scattered among the
trees the quartet CT Walter, the double
quartet and the chorus of the theater
and the band of the Second Regiment
of Infantry. All these musical parties
performed vigorously, while now and
then flood Of electric light added to
the entertainments the fantastic charac-
ter which comes from that kind of il
lumination.-Berl Cor. British Re-

Fashionable French KleptOmaniac.

A kleptomaniac, widow of good
family and in comfortable circumstan-
ces, was yesterday sentenced to six
months imprisonment. She is believed
to have stolen articles from number of
drapers' shops, and was lately detected
at the Magassns du Louvre slipping two
lace handkerchiefs into her mutf. The
shopman who saw her do this, and
whose attention had been attracted by
her restless air, followed her into the
street and asked her whether she had
not forgotten something. She said she
had bought nothing, whereupon he
drew out the handkerchiefs. She offered
to pay for them, but he led her to the
desk, where she pulled square of soap
and cosmetic from her pocket. These
she at first asserted she had paid for,
but afterward confessed she had stolen.
On being asked whether she had any
thing else, she replied in the negative;
but a shopman, on searching her,
found six articles, four of them in a
false pocket. At her lodgings muff,
waterproof, and other things from the
Bon MarcAe were discovered, amount
ing in value to $84.
The Magasiss du Louvre, on learning
her connections, declined to prosecute,
but the Public Prosecutor insisted on
proceeding with the case. On her trial
the prisoner wept, and acknowledged
her guilt, adding that she had no need
to steal, and that she had lost her
senses when she did so.-Paris Cor.

An Indian Girl Seized and Killed by
Cuttle.Fish.

Early last August party of Cape
Flattery or Makaw Indians, returning
from a visit to their friends (the Song
ish, of VictoriD, encamped the first
afternoon out on the beautiful Bay of
Metchosen, V. /. The weather being
very fine, most of the party went bath

of perhaps eighteen summers, who had
accompanied her grandfather on the
trip. Desiring seclusion, she went
round point away from the other
bathers, and, being known as bold
swimmer, is supposed to have taken q
header into deep water. However
taken, it proved to have been plunge
nto the arms of death. for when the
swimmers reassembled around the
campfire the girl was missed, and, not
withstanding . diligent search that
evening, could not be found. The fol-
lowing morning with sad hearts the
party left; but very soon those in the
foremost canoe on rounding the first
point saw the water being calm and

INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS.

"A girl tried to commit suicide in
Augusta, Ca, by jumping from
bridge. She was grabbed and held by
man, who was compelled to use con-
siderable violence to restrain her. Aft
erward she had him arrested on q
charge of assault.
AT Toronto, recently, two stran-
gers walked into the house OF Mr..
Williams, an undertaken, on Gear street,
sat down and ate up the dinner pre-
pared for the inmates, whom thev over
awed with revolvers, and quietly de-
parted.
AS Mrs. C. C. Tracy. of Northamp-
ton, Mass, was descending the stairs
from her chamber to her sitting-room,
ring on her right hand caught on the
gas fixtures pendant in the hall by the
side of the stair railing. and swung her
out in the hall, where she hung for sew
eral minutes by one finger.
"A family in Plymouth, N. H., de-
serve to carry off the palm for obstina-
cy. While the father and son were at
work on building, two years ago, they
got into dispute, and both quilted the
task and left their tools sticking in the
cracks, where they remained until a
few days ago, when the son finished the
job. While at work they removed the
windows of a sleeping-room, but the
female occupants, not to be outdone in
stubbornness, hung up quilts and occu-
pied the room through heat and cold,
"A Afive-year-old child left its seat in the
Baptist Church at Grand Rapids, Mich,
walked up to the pulpit and up the
steps, and stood beside DR.. Graves, the
pastor, who turned toward the lad, say
ing, "What do you want, my little
manp' The child innocently replied,
"a glass of water" The pastor poured
out glass of water, the child drank it
and left the platform. The incident
created considerable merriment among
the audience, which the child, in re-
turning to his seat, noticed, and, think
ing the peoble were amused at some
mistake of his, he made bow to the
pastor. and said, ''Thank you, SIR"
and went to his seat, satisfied that he
had not committed an impropriety.
"A terrible affair recently occurred
in the family of Mrs. Hepburn. of Pitts
burgh, Pa. As supper-time drew nigh,
on the evening in question, Mrs. H.
left her two children, a boy aged five,
and girl of three, in an upstairs room
while she went to the kitchen below.
She had been gone but few minutes
when she heard the report of pistol
in the room occupied by the children.
Fastening thither terrible sight met
her gaze. Her little girl was lying on
the floor insensible, its face covered
with blood from pistol-ball wound in
the head. The little boy, it appears,
seeing revolver lying on the table,
took it up to play with it, and in doing
so it was discharged, the contents lodg-
ing in his sister head. The child was
fatally wounded.

Weakness Of Circumstantial Evidence.

Shortly after the Ashtabula accident
a Mrs. Webber, of this town, who is a
poor woman with two children, APP
peared in the Office of wcll-knoWn
lawyer, and, stating that she had every
reason to believe that her husband had
been killed in that disaster, requested
him to begin suit against the railroad
company on her behalf to recover the
five thousand dollars which the law al
lows in such cases. The evidence
which she offered in proof of her hus-
bands sad fate was only of circum-
stantial nature, as nothing was ever
found of the body, which was supposed
to have been burned. She had been to
Ashtabula, and in the debris of the
wrecked train she had found a bunch
of keys which she positively recognized
as having been in the possession of her
husband. One of these keys, in further
proof, she had ascertained, exactly
fitted the clock in her house, and an
Auburn man was ready to swear that
he made just such key for Mr.. Web
ber Another key fitted exactly chest
which she had, while still another of
the keys fitted exactly to the lock on
the door. But the strongest proof of
