Joseph GillOtt,s Good Fortune.

L uIthb VI biCot
Joseph elliott was Sheffield artisan,
who, soon after he became of age, was
compelled by stress of poverty, occa-
stoned. by long depression of trade, to
leave the parental hearth and to seek
his fortunes elsewhere. He found his
way to Birmingham, and, entering the
town on foot, stopped for rest and re-
freshment at an old public house in
Digbeth. Long after, when Joseph Gil
lott had become millionaire, and was
buying up valuable properties in and
about the town, this house came into the
market for sale. elliott bought it; and
when it was being raised to the ground
he directed the workmen to cut out a
particular square of the settle, or seat,
running around the tap-room, and to
send it to his house to be made up into
a chair that should be handed down as
an heirloom in his family.
1t was the first seat he had sat on in
Birmingham, and the place where he had
spent his last penny before pushing on
into the town whose fame and wealth he
was destined SO largely to share and to
increase. He soon found employment as
maker of buckles, trade then enjoy
ing temporary squirt, and soon, with
characteristic energy, was working on
his own account. In the garret of a very
small house in Bread street-a locality
marked down for destruction as "slum"
elliott made buckles and other "steel
toys" "He made very excellent goods"
said the merchant who used to buy of
him, and "came for his money every
week." His work showed evidences of a
taste beyond that commonly possessed
by a workman, and this insured him
plenty Of orders; while a native in
genuity enabled him to execute them in
the readiest way, with the least expendi-
ture of time and labor, and with the
directest aid from mechanical means.
He was engaged to q young woman in
his own rank of life, whose two brothers
John and William Mitchell, were work
ing in about the same style as himself
on the "new thlng"-just beginning tt
be inquired after-steel pens. Their sis
ter was helping them, and in the conf
dences of courtship would often explain
to her lover the nature Of her pursuits
No doubt the brothers were working b!
"rule Of thumb" producing by painful
labor of clipping, shearing filing ant
punching by hand, a fairly salable arti
Gle. But elliott saw at once that tn,
press could be made available for nearl,

The exploits of umbrella thieves in
Philadelphia during the Grant week were
exceedingly audacious. A man standing
in the main hall of the Continental
swinging an umbrella between his legs,
was relieved of all the public property he
had. Before he could turn about the
thief had vanished in the crowd.

A novel fight recently occurred at At
lanta, Ga, between a rooster and two
small but vicious dogs. 1t lasted several
minutes, during which the bird lost a
great deal of his plumage, and most of
his tail; but at last he beat the dogs all
hollow, and they retired, sadder and
wiser animals.

The Other Side.

Some gentlemen talk in very poetic strain about the duty of cheerfulness in a wife. They tell, over end over again, like fiddler playing on one string, the old, old story, that mau can be driven away from home by the fretfulness Of his wife sooner than from any other known cause. But how can any woman bear patiently what so many men do as & matter of courseP The husband goes out, for instance, just to make bnsi- ness call in the evening, and comes back at two 8. m., trying to bring all the lampposts iu the block with him, aud in a maudlin stutter asserts that he only drank one glass of milk. O., when 1t has been decided at breakfast to serve yesterdays cold meat for to-day's d:n- ner in the shape of the sucoulent aad nourishing hash, he brings home three friends and tells them that his wife can cook the beef of old D lgiand to turn. Or he has fit of economy and cant take his wife to the concert, but manages to take another lady to the theatre. He finds a thousand reasons why he should be as cross as bear, but not single reason why she shouldn't be as chipper as squirrel who has just laid in his winter store of chestauts. If men would be more manly and not waste all their ill temper on the family circle they would have less to complain of in their wives.-N. y. Herald.

He Paid It.

In the city of Halifax there dwelt a lawyer, crafty, subtle as fox. An In- dian of the Miami tribe, named Simon, owed him some money. The lawyer had waited long. His patience at last gave out, and he threatened the Indian with lawsuit process and executions. The poor red man got scared and brl ught the money to his creditor. The Indian waited expecting the lawyer would write receipt. "What are you waiting forp" asked the lawyer. "Re- ceipt," said tho Indian. GA receipt" said the lawyer; ga receipt? What do you know about a reoeipbp Tell me the use of one and I will give it to you."

Why He Broke His Engage ment.

Gambetta is bachelor but he has not lived so long without having at least contemplated marriage. The story of his engagement to an heiress in Western France, and it's sudden breaking of, give us fresh glimpse of his character. From the time of his leaving his humble home at Cahors till his rise to the high est rank of public personages, Gam betta lived with faithful, loving de- voted aunt, who has followed him to Paris, and made, everywhere he went, a pleasant home for him. She was at once his maid all work and his con- genial companion and he was as deep ly attached to her as she to him. His engagement to handsome and accom-. plished girl, with a dot of seven mil lions, was shock to the good aunt but she yielded gracefully to the inev- itab1e. When the arrangements for the marriage were being discussed, how ever, the young lady took it into her head to make it condition of their union that the aunt should be excluded from the. new establishment. She was scarcely elegant enough to adorn gild, ed saloons. Gambetta explained how much his aunt had been to him; the rich beauty was only the more obdurate G ambetta took up his hat, and with ( profound bow, ''Adieu," said he 'wt were not made to understand each oth er." And the marriage was put of forever. s,,

Soon after 1t had been started on it's curative mission 1t was discovered that it's botanic properties far surpassed those of the approved mineral remedies of the day. Not the least among the good consequences of its general use has been to disabuse mems minds of many absurd medical fallacies, and to demonstrate the superiority of vegetable renl- edies. It conquers and prevents malsrial fe- vcrs, dyspepsia, chronic constipation, ten dency to kidney and bladder ailments and rheumatism, and Is of the greatest value In oases of bodily trouble arising from weakness, Old people are greatly aided by 1t, and it is highly serviceable to convalescents and la dies in delicate health.

How Lots Wife Died.

For centuries Lots wife has been held up as an awful example of the effects of sinful disobediencs, though among mil lions of worse women who have lived since, history does not record that one has ever been visited with her peculiar fate. We are glad at this late day, therefore, to receive some scientific hght upon the remarkable occurrence which has always been accounted miraculous manifestation of Divine wrath much more severe than seemed necessary to be commensurate with the measure of her transgression. All that the luckless wo- man did was to turn back in violation of her husbands command, when she be- came O pillar of Salt. But Rev. Dr. De Haass, formerly Consul at Jerusalem, in lecture delivered at Syracuse last week, says it was probable that Mrs. Lot inhaled the volcanic sulphur that was failing upon Sodom. and instantly perished from it's effects. He adds that it was not wonderful that she was then converted into pillar of salt. as the 1ac- tion of the atmosphere on the exhala- tions in it would cause salt to crystalline on the surface and also upon corpse lying there. That Lot and his daugh- ters did not meet the same fate was probably due to their superior physical strength, which enabled them to dis tauce feeble woman in their flight. Disheartened and deserted, sue turne d back in hope of finding that her home had withstood the flames, and met the fate that history has assigned to mirac- ulous agency. We are glad to be able to say something of a much slandered wonsu, on the authority of an orthodox and intelligent clergyman who has been on the ground. Livingston Freeman.

An authority in the London Layat

An authority in the London Lancet emphatioally, points cut the danger of the morning tub used iu cold weather without discretion. He cautions the old, and weakly of any age, from the danger of too sudden or too prolonged cold bathing; be exposes the absurdity of the blind faith in reac5ion he explains how persons are deluded by producing factitious redness by hard rubbing with coarse towel, for the circulation thus excited is only temporary, and tho effect of cold on the nerve centres is masked, not changed, by the device i; and, finally, he declares that it is better by far to use warm water to wash with, an to sprinkle the cold lightly, in such quantity es may be most agreeable, if cold effusion does not at once cause horid redness and defined and proper glow. As to cleanliness, it must be patent to everybody who observes how dir}y the hands become in cold weather that the cold bath is mistake. The Lancet points out that "a good wash in slightly warm water, with plenty of soap, is fur better, and has the special advantage of being safe"

What Is a BObbing 7

Nov, if the deacendents of our ex- cellent progenitors across the water will come over to some quiet part of New England, off from the main lines of travel, they will find a great many words and pronunciations precisely such as were heard in Old England in the first quarter of the seventeenth century, but which have only been preserved by ex- portation to America. Among these is the word "bobbin," which, came into the English language from tue Latin 6onabus, meaning a drumming, noise, through the French 6o5ane The bobbin was tue smali spiudle npou which was wound the threa1 used in making bobbinet lace, and was not i'm probably brought into England by the exiied Huguenois, who first brought the art of weaving into impoltancs in Eng land.
 There is in the process of cloth making by hand an operation called "quIlling. The "quill" is hollow cylinder, about four inches long and something less than half an inch in diameter, usually made of several wraps of paper pasted together, of 8 size to fit closely on the slightly conical spindle upon which it is used. This spindle is whirled rapidly by band running over large wheel three or four feet ia diameter. The whole establishment is called "quill- wheel, "and a girl sitting beside it turns the large wheel with her right hand, and with her left guides the yarn or thread as it unwinds from skein upon the swifts and winds up on the quill, thickly at the middle and running down to nothing at the ends. That quill, with the yarn wound upon it ready to be put in the weaver's shuttle, is "bobbin," pure and simple. Chicago Inter Ocen''.
