observers of double stars living, and an ac-

NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR 1CEIN SKATING.

A new kind of floor for skatlng-rinks has
been put down in London. 1t is the Invention
of DR.. Calantarents, of Scarborough, and con,
sists mainly in a mixture of the carbonate and
suIphate of soda, forming a crystalline mass
which offers about the same amount OF resist

A VICAR FINED FOR AssAULT.-Thomas
R0tcliff is the vicar of the English church at
Stapleford, Motifs. About three weeks ago he
saw n woman in the churchyard at night,
and ordered her to go out OF 1t. As she
refused, he assaulted her, dealing her a
blow on the shoulder from which she fell.
The case has been in court, and Mir. Ratcllii has
been fined a guinea. The woman says she won't
10 the churchyard with her two boys, to cut
away the grass on her chIld's grave, and found
the lgates locked AS the key was not to be had
at the cottage where she had been accustomed
to find it, she climbed over one of the gates
While she was cutting the grass, Mr.. Ratoliit
came out of the vicarage, and told her she was
trespassing She denied this, and he then
struck her and took from her the shears
she was using to cut the grass. Mr.
Ratclif in defence said that when he
had told the woman she was trespassng
and reminded her Of the published
notice stating at what hours the yald would
be open she replied with abusive and indecent
language, and struck ut him with the shears.
He had merely taken the shears away from her
in sqlf-defenc9. The magistrates agreed with
the woman's side of the story, however, and IN
imposing the fine reminded the vicar that If
the woman were trespasslng his remedy was In
civil court.

A Shower OF Coin,

Bankers and brokers were hurrying
away from Wall street at half.past
three O'Clock in haste to get to their
homes, to the seashore or the country:
clerks, office boys and messengers were
running to and fro, and Wall and Broad
streets and Exchange place were filed
with moving throng, finishing up the
work OF the day. Just at this time two
men came from the basement of No. 40
Broad street. One was Mr.. c. H. Dex-
ter, the painter and carpenter, and the
other one of his assistants. AS soon as
they reached the sidewalk the two men
plunged their hands in their pockets,
pu led them out filled with small coin
and began scattering the money broad
cast, literally throwing it away. Almost
as quickly as it is written q crowd of
messenger boys and young clerks sur.
rounded them. Fighting their way
through the throng the two men moved
slowly toward Exchange place, where
they separated, one going up the narrow
court toward New street and Broadway
ard the other up Broad street in the
direction OF Wall street. At every step
their hands were dipped into capacious
pockets, raised in the air moment. and
then came little shower of pennies,
nickels, dimes and quarters. The crowd
increased prodigiously. 1t was com.
posed mostly of boys, and they struggled
and fought good natureJly, tumbling
over and trampling upon each other in
their eager scramble for the money. At
the corner of Broau and Wall streets the
crowd and the excitement eliminated.
Here Mr.. Dexter stood a few moments,
a mob of about thousand busting,
shouting youngsters about him, while
he scattered balf- dollars, dollars and a
few shining golden quarter eagles in a
little rain about him. Like the Scrip
tural rain, it fell upon the just and tie
unjust alike, for some of the big boys
wickeGly robbed the little fellows of
coveted pieces. The rain was only n
shower after all. In fifteen minutes it
was over, and Mr.. Dexter stepped into
his carriage and was whirled away. =

Tom COrwiR's Reply to Crary.

Congress had its comedies as well as
its tragedies, and the leading comedian
was Thomas Corwin, a representative
from Ohio, who was type of early
Western culture and born bumorisf
He was a middle-sized, somewhat stout
man, with pleasing manners, a fine
head, sparkling hazel eyes and a COM
plexion SO dark that on several occa /.
sions-as he used to relate with great
glee-he was supposed to be of African
descent. "There is no need of nv
working" said he, "for whenever can,
not support myself in Ohio, all should
have to do would be to cross the river
give myself up to a Kentucky negro
trader, be taken south and sold for a
field hand" He always had story
ready to illustrate the subject of a con
versation, and the dry manner in which
he enlivened his speeches by pungent
witticisms, without smile on his own
stolid countenance, was irresistible.
His greatest effort was reply which
he made to Mr.. Crary, of Kentucky.
who had undertaken to criticise the
military ability of General Harrison,
John Quincy Adams went over to Mr..
Corwin's desk and advised him to re-
ply; without success, at first, Corwin
say ing JudG he WIS something like
Balaam's ass-he could never speak un.
less kicked into it." The next after.
noon, however, he did reply and his
speech, as model of humorous retort
has. never since been equaled at the
capitol. His description of Mr.. Crarv
as he appeared on parade as a militia
general, and after the fatigues of
muster, when treating his brigade to
watermelons and whisky at country
grocery store, as the ancient heroes as.
suaged their thirst from the skulls of
their slaughtered enemies, was a de-
licious piece of satire. Then turning
to the history of General Harrison. Mr.,
Corwin gave an eloquent picture of his
patriotic services with convincing
force. No member of Congress ever
received such personal discontinue
from speech, and Mr.. Crary never re-
covered from Corwin's onslaught.
Even at his home the farmers ALWAYS
offered him watermelons in their season.
by quotations from Cor.
wins speech. He retired from public
life an extinguished orator.-Atlauttc
Monthly.
