In the Sewers.

In the famous sewers OF Paris, the
travelling conveniences are superior to
many above ground. The hand cars
for passengers are neatly made and
furnished with cane seats. You may
sit rs in an Irish jaunting-ca facing
either side. OF the two other seats,
one faces front, the other rear. Each
car or truck has four lamps. The pro-
pelling power is men, four to q truck.
They roll directly over the sewer, the
rails being laid on either side. The
sewer in some places equals a good
sized mining. ditch in dimension, with a
pretty rapid current. Icannot give the
depth of water. l had no ambition TO
take soundings. One investigating
passenger tried it with his cane, but
found no bottom. After that / was
afraid of his cane. The air throughout
averaged q good, strong smell. The
men smoked. The ladies' held per-
fumed handkerchiefs to their noses.
Many ladies visit the sewers. 1t is con-
sidered entirely the "correct thing to
do. At the Place de In Concorde we
left the cars and took the gondolas.
The sewers and stream are here much
wider. Each gondola will held about
twenty persons. Our fleet numbered
about Ave or six gondolas. Each one
carried large globulsr lantern. SO we
sailed in the dim, dark passage. Save
an occasional stationary light, it, was
dark ahead, dark behind, dark below,
damp and obscure above. The barges
rocked little, but not sgreeably. The
motion was not exciting. It seemed
like that which might come on . sea of
molasses in slight agitation. An hour
and quarter in the sewers of Paris i
enough. You can always recollect the
taste and smell afterward. When wo
emerged from the artificial bowels of
Paris to the Garth we doubly appreciated
air and sunlight, and had no inclination
10 repeat our experiment.

Calculating Machines.

Staffel has invented an arithmetical
machine in which three cylinders are so
arranged that they can work all the
simpler rules of arithmetic, carrying
multiplication up to millions by
millions; if the machine is required to
give an impossible sum, such as sub
tractipg large number from O smaller,
or dividing q smaller sum by a greater,
it refuses, and rings a bell as an ad-
monition.
Colmar invented an arithmometer in
which the action is rather by plates
sliding in grooves than by rotating
cylinders; like Staffcl's, it can perform
addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division and evolution. Wertheimer,
by means of metal plate with indexes.
notched teeth and holes, has contrivcd
an apparatus for adding and subtract
ing sums of money. Baranowski's in
vention is for calculating wages,
prices, interest, and other sums
of money; it is known as the
Ready Reckoner, and is worked by
means of a handle which reveals figures
or numerals in openings in brass plate.
Schott, Lalanne, Roget, Maurel, Roth,
Slovinsks, and Scheutz have in like
manner invented machines for solving
nrithmetical problems. OF these,
Schuetz's excites great admiration
among scientific men. Mr.. Babbage
highly extolled it, and deplored that it
had found a purchaser in America in
stead of in England. 1t can compute
mathematical tables, calculate to sixteen
places of figures, and stamp on a plate
of lead the result up TO eight places,
producinga a matrix or mold, from which
cliche cast in type metal can be OBJ
tanned suitable for printing from. It
does its work at the rate of twenty-five
figures or numerals per minute, calcu-
lated, recorded and stamped in metal
an error either in the calculating or the
printing being almost impossible

TYPICAL OCCURRENCES.

Brothers Who MEET IN Prison.
The Sheriff of Polk county, few days
ago, took W. 2. Pressely to the peni-
tentiary for burglary ct Knoxville.
Another prisoner was brought in for
five years for q similar crime. When
stripped by the Warden of the peniten-
tiary it was discovered that they were
brothers, who had not seen each other
for thirty years.-Burlt1agton (Tot0a)
Ha,ck-Eye.
HER DREAM FULFILLED.-As singular
instance Of the verification of a dream
occurred in'Polk county some days age.
A young daughter of Mr.. Hill dreamed
one night that she had been burned to
death. The next morning she went
with her brother into the corn-field to
keep the birds from the planted corn.
AS 1t was cold they built fire, and
while they we're warming themselves the
clothes OF the girl caught fire. Her
little brother tried to extinguish the
flames, but could not. She died the
next day.-Tampa (Fla) Guardian.
A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL.-Mr. Fl. r.
Gaulding has little daughter IL years
old, to whose nerve and courage he ia
indebted for the life of his 3-year. old
boy. The circumstances were briefly
these: The boy was playing by the
cistern in Mr.. Gaulding's yard. There
was plank off, and through this aper-
ture the little fellow fell. He caught O
plark, however, in falling, and held for
some time before he was discovered.
But his hold weakened, and, with a
plash, he fell into the cistern. His sis
ter saw and appreciated the situation.
Most girls would have screamed and
run off in quest of help. Not 80 with
this little girl. The screams and strug-
giles for life of her baby brother gave
her the courage Of q man. She saw a
ladder and, with all her might, she
dragged it to and placed it into the cis-
tern, and then went down into the wa
ter, reached out and caught her brother
just in time to save him from a watery
grave. BY this time help arrived, and
both were landed safely from their
perilous position. All honor to this
little eheroinel-Batnbridge (Ga.) Dem
ocrdt.
The CHEvALIER Clown. - Some
weeks ago the clown Of a company OF
rope-dancers, who were performing in
front OF the Pont d'Austerlitz, in Paris,
fell upon the stones and was killed. He
was le Pere Pigeon. His body was
borne to the garret in Montrouge, where
he had lived. No relatives claimed the
remains and so an Inspector of Police
entered the room TO make ready for
the pauper burial. Nosing about the
room the Inspector was made wild to
find $1,000 in gold and silver coin hid
den in a crack. With the money was
will. Also the baptismal certificate of
lie Pere. Here was revelationl LIE
Pere Pigeon, the cracker Of Jokes, was
found by the certificate to have been
none other than Chevaier de Bastard
member of one of the oldest and no.
blest Burgundian families. Inquiry
showed that when Chevalier de Bas-
tard had attained his majority his
guardian placed $4,000, his patrimony,
in his hands; that he had squandered
the money in high living; that he had
at last awakened TO find friends and
money flown. What could he do?
Following natures bent, he became 9

A S0rrowfnl Case.

We clip the following from the Chi
cago Inter Ocean: "The suicide of
Martin Arndt, at the Douglas monu-
ment Sunday night, revealed one OF the
saddest cases of misfortune and dis
couragement often brought before the
public eye. His business was pressing
linen coats, and, by working ten hours
and walking five miles each day, Arndt
could make $3.50 per week. He sup
ported a family on this pittance, and
finally, in moment Of supreme assur-
ance, had the temerity to ask for half
cent per garment more than he had
been receiving. This request was
granted for one lot, but Immediately
afterward another man offered TO do the
work at the old price, and Arndt was
thereupon discharged. he tried to get
employment elsewhere, but could not,
and, believing if he died, even by his
own hand, that his family would receive
several hundred dollars from q society
to which he belonged, he blew out his
brains. It is rarely that more sorrow
ful case is presented, and it suggests, nay
compels, the reflection whether there ia
not something radically wrong in q
system that produces such tragedies.
Let those who are in the habit of spend
ing tens and hundreds of dollars for the
simplest pleasures think for q moment
of this poor workman-honest. sober,
industrious-who struggles on month
after month, and who finally comes to
the conclusion that there is no room for
him on this earth, because he loses q
place worth less than 50 a week to him.
We are all accustomed to rail at fortune
more or less, aud bemoan the lack of
riches. but how all idle complaints are
hushed into silence for very shame be-
fore this spectacle. How many more
such cases are there in Chicago to-dsy2 ?"
