Rather Mixed.

Johnson" What is the matter with
you, Ned you look melancholy"
Ned-"Yes; the fact of the matter is
I have got mixed up so in my family af-
fairs that I don't know who I am"
Johnson" Rather a strange remark.
Explain yourself"
Ned-"I will. You see, I married a
young widow who lived with her step
daughter ; my father shortly after mar
ried the step-daughter. Ny wife was,
therefore, the mother-in-law and daugh-
ter-in-law of my father. I am the step
father of my mother-in-law, and my
wife's step-daughter is my step-mother.
Well, my step-mother-thst is to say,
my fathers wife, and my wife's daugh-
ter-had a son. He is my step-brother,
of course ; but, being the son of my
wife's step-daughter, my wife is, of
course, his grandmother, and L am his
grandfather as well as his step-brother.
My wife also had a boy. My stop
mother is consequently the step-sister of
of my boy, and also his grandmother,
because he is the child of her step-son,
and my father is the brother in-law
my son, who is the son OF my step
mother. I am my mothers brother-in-
law, my wife is aunt of her own son, my
son is the grandson of my father, and I
am my own grandfather"

Death I'm the Flames.

A horrible holocaust occurred in Cincinnati
last week, resulting from the burning of BENZ.
Hey d Co. 8 shoddy factory and rag warehouse,
corner of Second street and Broadway. About
twenty-five girls and middle aged women were
employed i'll the establishment, and the moment
the fire was discovered, which originated in the
second story, all employees were notified of the
impending danger. The women were most
ly employed in the third story, in what is called
the assorting-room. The younger girls at once
responded to the call to get out OF the buiHling,
and made good their escape, but six older
ladies, ranging from forty to sixty years of age,
~stopped-some to change their clothing and
others to measure up what work they had done
during the morning. The room below was soon
filled to suffocation with smoke, and when the
belated women attempted to go, the flames had
cut of their only means Of egress. 1t was not
known that anyone was still in the building
until the crowd below saw two grey-headed wo-
men appear at one of theI windows. Bales of
rags were rolled together on the pavement, and
the women were shouted to to jump. Mrs.
Barrick, one of the old ladies, after turning her
head and looking back at the flames rapidly in
creasing in volume, stepped upon the window
sill and leaped down the forty or fifty feet,
lighting on the bales, and in striking broke her
left ankle. The other, Mrs. Syron, after seeing
the accident which had betallen MRS. Barrick,
stood still on the window-sill, and in response
to a cry from Officer Burke to slump, for Gods
sake" was heard to say something which
sounded like 'sNo, no, 1 can not" Then turn
ing, she rushed back into the flames, and was
seen no more until her dead and charred body
was found lying near those of a Mrs. Doggett
and Mrs. Jackson. The other two who persisted
in the flames were Miss Margaret Welsh and
Miss Curran.

Passion for Military Titles.

1t is an amusing anomaly that citizens
of q republic are passionately fond of
titles. Even before the war, foreigners
were astonished at our military preten-
sions. Almost every man had General, "
or Colonel" or "Maior," or Captain"
prefixed to his name. "What a terrible
battle has been fought near here, where
all the privates are kilt !" exclaimed an
Irishman, on landing in one of our cities.
In the Republic of Venezuela, this
passion is ever more extrayagantly dis
played. An Englishman, travelling in
that country, was rowed across the river
by two Generals, and supplied with poor
meat by a third. In a list of four hun
bred subscribers to a book, he counted
the names of two hundred and seventy
eight Generals. The rest were those of
Doctors.
He thought himself among a nation of
heroes, until he learned that to become
o General in Venezuela it is unnecessary
either to be, OF to have been a soldier.
The title is distributed indiseriminately,
with the compliments of the govern
ment." Once an aspirant for the Pres:
idency, thinking to get up q ''boom,"
announced that he would, if elected,
make everybody a General. He lost his
election, as both those who had and
those who desired the title, did not wish
even the slight discrimination abolished.

Growth of British Cities.

The opinion, quite generally enter.
tanned, that London Is n OF the few
large British cities which grow rapidly,
is very as the figures plainly
show. 1t is nearly eight years since the
last census, and the Registrar General
consequently supplies various estimates,
annually, of the population of the prin-
cipal towns, founded on the ratio Of in
crease between 1861 and 1871, in order
to form a basis for calculation of yearly
rates. From this it appears that Lon
don now contains $500, 1868, an increase
since 1871 Of 366, sos; Liverpool, $685.

Victoria and HI. hand Killed.

Intelligence from FL Paso says: The Indian
Chief Victoria and his band have been killed.
On the afternoon of the 18th the troops over
took and surrounded the Indians, the latter be-
ing in position upon two hills known as Las
Castillo. one of which they were forced to aban-
don. On the morning of the 18th the fight was
renewed, resulting in the almost complete an
initiation of the whole party. Chief Victoria,
fifty warriors, and eighteen women and children
were killed, and seven women and children
were taken prisoners, and $50 head of horses
and mules were captured. The Mexican loss
was three killed INT three wounded, showing
the Indians to be almost entirely destitute of
ammunition. Within the past year Victoria and
band have murdered upward of 400 persons.

OF Appetite.

A Young patient was brought to Super
intendent Coles In the first stages OF de-
lirium tremens, with the warning that he
was q s bad case" and must be sharply
looked after. As soon as hewas GONZALES
cent, he began to beg for liquor, which
was, of course, denied him.
Mr.. Coles gathered up the young mans
clothes in his arms, including his boots
and shoes, and carried them down stairs.
ssThere, my boy" said Nh. Coles to
himself, "when you want to get out OF
this establishment, you've got to sum
mon me" and perfectly satisfied that the
Young man could not get out without his
assistance, MI. Coles applied his thoughts
to other subjects.
The patient was determined to procure
some spirits. His Dol was two stories
from the street, but there was q pipe
that ran from the roof to the ground-a
water-spout.
81 can descend by that" he said.
He looked around for his clothes. They
were gone. He found nothing but pair
of old slippers. The money he had in
his pockets when he was brought to the
asylum, was in the bureau-drawer of his
room. Mr.. Coles had not thought to
take that away. The young man tore
the sheets of his bed into strips, and
wound the strips around his legs, making
a pair of pantaloons, then he took a com
forter from his bed, made holes In 1t for
his arms, and thus made a tolerably nice
dressing-gown.
With the dressing-gown made from the
comforter, the p~antaloons made from the
strips of his sheets and the pair of slip.
pers, he thought himself well dressed
Only one thing was wanting-a hat. Go
ing into the bathroom, he found a large
sponge. He cut a slit in this with hi
razor, and putting his head into the slit
he had a fur cap at once.
Then, raising his window, he stepped
outside and slid down the water-spou
with the meney he had in his possession
when h. came into the institution In tn
crown of his sponge hat.
Half an hour later, Mr.. Coles went III
stairs to converse with his patient. bu
behold, the bird had flown.
"Well," said MI. Coles, "he mus
have gone out naked, and of course woult
be Immediately arrested. 1 will find hin
at the police station"
But Mr.. Coles, in passing a BARRON
on his way to the station, heard a nois
of great hilarity,. and thinking that h
recognized the voice of his patient, DROP
ped in. There he was, with his dressing
gown, sponge-hat, and his skin-tigt
pantaloons, the centre of an admiring CT
Gle, drinking whisky punches, and IA

The End afHietorta.

The following letter, received by Gen. Buell.,
at Ell Paso, from Mariana Samnigo, at Paso
Del Norte, explains itself: "Dedr Sir: At this
moment I received a letter from my brother,
from Carasaline, which says the following: 4
have the pleasure to communicate to the Gen
eral that we have to-day received the very good
news that Joaquin Terras has destroyed nearly
all of the Indians of Victoria and his party.
This 1 have learned from the young Ascornte
who arrived here with a picket force to escort
some wagons. which were sent from here with
provisions for troops. The affair occurred as
follows: On the 14th, in the afternoon, the
forces met the Indians. An attack was Or
dered at once, but notwithstanding the immedi-
ate execution of the order, the Indians took
possession of two hills. Los Castillos Golfer
rases surrounded them at once, and finally the
Indians had to retire themselves to one hill.
In the next night the troops took their position,
and at sunrise opened fire and continued until
O'Clock in the morning, when everything was
finished, leaving Victoria with fifty Indians and
eighteen women and children dead. Moreover,
some seventy women and children were taken
prisoners and two hundred and fifty animals
recovered I give you this news with pleasure,
and remain yours, MARIANA SAMNIGo."

A Queer Statement.

A correspondent sends us the follow
ing item, which hardly needs comment:
statement that in certain counties in Eng
land, whence the chief supply of geese
is drawn, young children are frequently
detained from school or work that they
may lie in bed by turns for the sole pur-
pose of Matching goose eggs placed there
with them" Here is another proof that
the Americans are a progressive people
and ahead of their English neighbors, as
it is an acknowledged fact that it does
not require force to keep the American
children in bed long enough to be late
from school or absent from their work.

The First Watch.

At first the watch was about the size
of a dessert plate. 1t had weights, and
was used as a "pocket clock" The
earliest known use of the modern name
occurs in the record of 1862, which men
tions that Edward vi. had "one larum
or watch of iron, the case being like.
wise of iron gilt, with two plummets of
lead" The first watch may readily be
supposed to have been of rude execu-
ton. The first great improvement-the
substitution of springs for weights-was
in 1860. The earliest springs were not
coiled, but only straight pieces of steel.
Early watches had only one hand, and,
being wound up twice a day, they could
not be expected to keep the time nearer
than fifteen or twenty minutes in twelve
hours. The dials were of silver and
brass, the cases had no crystals, but
opened at the back and front, and were
four or five inches in diameter. A plain
watch cost more than 81, 800, and after
one was ordered it took a year to makeit.
