Curiosity Gratihed.

She was very pretty and quite young
nineteen or thereabOuts-and when
she tTipped into the real estate Office,
and with a smile and Il blush began
making inquiries regarding a little six
room cottage in Brooklyn, the real es-
tate agent looked over his spectacles
at her and thought he had not seen
such a handsome woman for years.
Question and answer followed each 9TH
er in rapid succession, and at their con-
clusiOR the lady seemed as delighted
with the house as the agent was with
his prospective tenant. Then the lady's
hand diyed into the mysterious folds
Of her poIonaise and drew forth a dainty
little purse, from which she began to
count forth crisp notes with which to
pay her first months rent of her new
house. At the sight of money the
agents presence Of mind returned to
him, and remembering the ru of the
Office, which applies to cases where un-
protected females apply to rent resi-
dences, lie began questioning his fair
customer:
''Ah, yes, madam; that is to say miss;
all, who is to rent tbe-the house?
Your father?"
"Why, mol"
"Your mother, then?"
''Why, no. What difference does it
make to you?"
20, nothing, nothing; but then we
always like to know who is going to
occupy the premises we rent"
We'll, Fam going to live there my
self"
'Alone?"
Certainly not"
"With your parents, I suppOse?"
''N-n-O-" with a faint blush).
"Who with, theu?"
"With a-a-gentleman. "a profu-
sion of blnshes.)
"a gentleman? A relation, I sup
poser"
mo, sir; he's not a relation but"
Madam, must decline to rent the
premises. No, madam, it's no use, I
really"
"But he's the gentleman Pm going
to marry" Cheeks carmiue and eyes full
Of gentle fre).
And then that real estate agent went
and stayed in the back Office just long
enough to call himself a qualified old
fool eight or nine times, after which
he frisked back to his customer
and promised newly-papered walls,
freshly-whitened ceilings, hot and cold
water on each floor, bronze gas-fxtures
throughout, CRATES in the fireplaces,
and every thing else she might want
in the house, and handed her the re-
ceipt for the first months rent with
a bow and smile that, if the grandmOth-
ct of his grandchildren had happened
around just then, would have cost him
a heap Of domestic trouble.

Andrew Jackson and the Fon.

/ When Andrew Jackson was a young
man attending court at RogersviIle,
Tenn, he lived at hotel famous for
{ its good cheer. One day, as he set on
the piazza, youth came riding along
/ dressed in the pink Of fashion, his eyes
! fixed on vacancy, replying not to the
salutes which it was the custom Of the
times for strangers to give each other.
At Il glance Jackson saw the fop, and
determined to play the partOf Boniface.
He welcomed the silent stranger with
distinguished pOliteness, and the COM
pany about the fire made room for him.
But the aUtOmatOn was not to be won
/ to conversation. He walked up and
down the room contemplating his own
graces and presently exclaimed, COM
mandingly: Landlord 1 want supper!"
Supper was spread and the stately youth
| devOUred it. Then he resumed his
walk, answered not a word to the fire.
side circle of lawyers and judges, and
Jackson grew more and more wrathful.
Landlord want to g to bedI" was
the next demand; and he added, II
want a room to myself" Jackson rep
resented that the house was full, and
there was no single room to be had;
the young fellow was not to be moved.
Jackson disappeared, and shortly re-
turned, announcing that the guests
room was ready. The two went off
through the front door, all the company
following, and stOpped-at the corn crib
through the cracks of which light was
shining. ''There's your rOOm," said
jackson. ''Do you wish to insult me
sir?" ''No oinsult all, sir. You vowed
you would not sleep in a room with any
one, and demanded a room by yourself.
There it is, sir" 81 vow 1 will not
sleep there" said the dandy. "By the
Eternal you shalI!" exclaimed Jackson,
and grabbing the youth, he sent him at
one toss into the crib and locked the
door. And there he staid all night, and
in the morning he was released and
dismissed breakfastIess by the impetu-
GUS Jackson.

The Great Wall Of China.

The great wall of China was mea-
sured in many places by Mr.. Unthank,
an American engineer, lately engaged
on a survey for a Chinese railway. His
measurements gave the height at
eighteen feet, and a width on top o.
fifteen feet. Every few hundred yards
there is a tower twenty-five feet high.
The foundation Of the wall is Of solid
granite. Mr.. Unthank brought with
him a brick from the wall, which is
supposed to have been made 200 years
before the time of Christ. In building
this immense stone fence TO keep out
the TaTtars, the builders never attempt
ed to avoid mountains or chasms to
save expense. For ! 800 miles the wall
goes over plain and mountain, and
every foot Of the foundation is in solid
granite, and the rest of The structure
solid masonry. In some places the wall
is built smooth up against the bank or
canons, or precipices, where there is a
sheer descent Of 1000 feet. Small
streams are arChed over, but in the
larger streams the wall runs to the wa
ter's edge, and a tower built on each
side. On tie top of the wall there are
breastworks, or defences, facing in and
out, so the defending forces can pass
from one tower to another without be-
ing exposed to any enemy from either
side. To calculate the time of building
or cost Of this wall is beyond human
skill. So far as the magnitude Of the
work is concerned, it surpasses every
thing in ancient or modern times Of
which there is any trace. The Pyra-
mids Of Egypt are nothing compared TO

Frauds Under the Bankrupt Law.

The New York Register in bank
ruptcy has made up a report revealing
the TascaIity that is continually COM
mitted in bankruptcy proceedings. He
says that it is almost the universal
practice in that city for persons know
ing themselves to be insolvent, to make
large purchases Of merchandise, make
fictitious debts TO friends, and then
make a general assignment to some per-
sOnal friend who continues the business
at the Old stand.
The bankrupt continues to live in
style, and at the end of six months
is put through involuntary bankruptcy
and discharged, his general creditors
getting nothing, and himself and
friends beneGting at their expense. Nor
are such practices confined to that city.
A case in point is related by the Indi-
annapolis Journal: A merchant bought
$4,000 worth Of goods on credit, and
soon after had himself put into bank
Tuptcy by friend, procured a friend to
be made assignee, who had the stock
appraised at 5000, which another
friend bought at fifty cents on the dol
lar and transferred TO the original
merchant on the very day he received
his discharge, thus securing goods
worth So, ,OOO for 81, 800. When one of
his creditors, purchasing at his store,
asked a reduction on the article, giving
as a reason that lie had lost so much
money by him, the debtor exclaimed:
'DO you think was such a fool as to
60 into bankruptcy for your beneft?"

A Rich, Poor Man.

In their own stOIid way, Russian
peasants are cOntented enough. The
clerk Of a savings bank recently estab-
lished in provincial town in Russia,
met with an odd illustration of this fact.
lie was one day startled by the entrance
OF heavy-lOOking peasant-slouching,
grimy, unkempt-thev very last man one
would expect to see in a bank, except
for the purpose Of rObbing it. The ap-
partition came timidly up to the coun-
ter, and requested permission to de-
post some money in the bank. The
clerk, who imagined the extent of the
deposit to be about five roubles, or
thereabOut, consented, as a matter of
course, wheTeupon the gentleman in
sheepskin produced a tattered, filthy
leather bag, and poured out before the
clerks astonished eyes a perfect pyra-
mid Of bank bills of all values from one
rOuble to fifty. The amazed clerk has
tily summoned his two colleagues. and
The three, aftera long spell Of counting,
satisfied themselves that the total
amount was not less than twenty thou
sand rOubles, or fifteen thousand dol
lars. The peasant who stood watching
the operation with a look of childish
curiosity, pOcketed his receipt and
walked off as eOOlly as if nothing had
happened; but the next morning he re-
appeared and again addressed himself
to the same clerk, stating that he had
two boxes full of gold which he wished
to deposit. At this point the banker
himself came forward and accompanied
the unwashed capitalist to his home, in
tending to take charge Of the gold. Ar
rived at their destination, the peasant
led his companion TO a small, mean
looking hut, and opening a shed on one
side Of it, displayed two battered wood
en- boxes, through the breaches in which
gold pieces were escaping in all direc-
tiOns, while beside them lay the dirty
bag which had held the bank bills Of
the day before. It seemed that the
money had descended to the peasant
from his father and grandfather, and
had been buried for safe keeping. So
little did the peasant realize the value
Of his possession, that he was content
to live in hOyel, in apparently the
deepest poverty, without u wish for
beyond his mean, sOrdtd life.

Cnttinc Tie Gordian Knot.

At GOrdium, in Asia Minor, Alexan-

The yoke of a cart which had formerly
belonged TO King Midas was fastened
to the beam with a leathern thong, and
the knot was implicated i'll so curious
manner that 10 one could discover
the ends of the thong. An oracle had
said that whoever succeeded in loosen

him, lie presently drew his sword and
