Romance IN 3 Poor Hous. !.

Quite romance was developed at the
Pittsburg city poor house by Deputy
Mayor Hartman. Nearly eight years
ago the wife Of Antonio Weber, janitor ol
st. MichAel's school, on the South Side,
mysteriously disappeared. For some
time previous her mind had been
diseased, and after every effort failed to
discover her Whereabouts, she was R.veu
up for dead. Since then her husband
has lived alone, never ceasing TO regret
the inexplcable disappearance Of tis
wife. Recently the deputy mayor, Who
was familiar with the sad story, We
amazed ut being recognised by . woman
at the poor farm, who soon conyineed him
that she was the long missing wife ol
Weber. Then her story came out She
seemed 10 have g suddenly regained her
normal condition of mind q abe had losl
it. The presence Of Mr.. Hartman ap-
parently acted - . spur to her dornDnt
Intellect, and she begged 10 be taken 10
her home and husband. The records Of
the poor farm show that she had been
picked mp on the streets about eight
years ago. She was then demented, and
could NOT remember her name or where
she lived. Since that time, until she %.
countexeds Mr., HAriman, her mind hal
been under cloud. The poor woman,
Who has now become entirely sane, VA
taken home, and her reception by hen
happy husband can be moro raadily
IMAGINED than described.

A REPORT on the scheme for completing the
system Of drainage in Paris has just been sent
to the printers. The subterranean galleries
which underlie the Paris streets contain con-
dluts for distributing pure water to the popula-
don, and for carrying Of the waste from the
houses and streets, as well a. gas pipes and
tubes for telegraph wires. The sewers are, how
ever, far from being yet complete, and the above
services are liable to frequent Interruptions
which deprive the inhabitants of some quarters
OF Paris Of gas, water or telegraph communica-
ton. At the end Of last year Paris contained
i56 leagues Of main sewers and 65 rnmifcations.
To complete the network an additional 100
leagues will be necessary to increase the total to
800 leagues.

The shipping Of the whole world did not
double in the whole seventeenth century. Since
that time il has increased tcn-fold, and has
doubled in the last twenty-five years. It now
measures n, 000, 900 tons. There has also been,
besides the increase in tonnage, great increase
in speed in the last two centuries. Vessels
average at least four times tho speed Of that
period. SO that, with ten-fold increase in ton
mage, the total maritime commerce may be
called forty times that Of 1880.

In the Office Of the treasurer of the United
States is . glass case which contains the keys
which we're used in the olden times to lock the
treasury vaults. Mr.. Gilfilian says that in the
old times the treasurer, when the vaults were
locked mp, carried the keys home with linn, and
several times the house of the treasurer, who
had the keys in custody, has been broken into
by thieves to get these open sesames. Under
the present system the vaults are locked by
time and combination locks. There are inner
and outer doors to the vaults. The officer who
knows the combination to open the outer door
does not know the combination of the inner,
and vice versa. When the combination is
changed the changes are noted by different
clerks and handed to Treasurer Gilillan in .
sealed enyelone.

The case Il "Bradley against Logan is re-
ported by the Canada Legal Ne,cs: The action
was brought on promissory note by citizen
of the United States. The plaintiff described
himself as Esquire" I" the law requiring that
the plailtif shall state his occupation or quail
ity. The defendant objected that the plaintiff
gave himself no title. 1t was proved that there
is no such title in this country. But the court
said: "The exception Of the defendant is want
ing in this, that 1t does not say in what respect
the description is defective. 1t complains Of
the total want Of description; but the quality of
esquire is sufficient in itself, and in our law has
. significance, and see no proof that the
plaintiff is not an esquire ~ We understand,
though the title has no significance in the
United States." Abbott's Law dictionary says:
ut 10 familiarly employed in the United States,
but is title Of courtesy merely" Webster says
tits 50 general title Of respect in addressing
letters"
