The following remarkable incident has
just come to our knowledge. Tt would
seem almost incredible were it not for
Lho absolute veracity Of the gentleman
making the statement. lLr. Rufus
4iLler Is q well known farmer of this
own, living at 1IechauicstOwa. Some
i've or SIX years ago, Just before retir-
ing, MIR. Miller placed in his eye what
Is known as an Cye-stODe, for the puT-
pose OF removing q mote, as he had fire.
quenuy done before. For the benefit of
those Of our readers who may uo5 know
what an eTe-sbOue is, We VIII explain.
1t Is a small, white, round shell, about
three siZtGou5ls OF an inch I'D diameter,
cOucavo on one side, convex on the other
and quite thin. 1t is taken from the
head Of q crab, one being found under
each eye of that Crustacean. In the
when Mr.. Miller awOke he
could not find the stone. He made o
careful and thorough search, but all In
vain, and he made up his mind that it
was gone for good. Recently he felt o
hard growth on the end Of the little
Gnger Of his right hand. He showed it
to some friends, who concluded it was
wart and advised him to let it alone. He
did so until It began to be sore, and he
commenced picking at 1t. He soon
found out that some hard substance was
under the skin, and digging away he
finally took out his Iong-l0st eye-stone.
He examined 1t so carefully that there
can be no mistake. He now recollects
that at one time he experienced q con
soreness in his wrist and sup
posed at that period the stone was press
ing in that direction. How this bit Of
Of lime ever made that long
journey without being lost or absorbed
is q mystery. That it did so there can
be no doubt.-JIiddZot0WB (CCBn.)

She Made q Mistake.

An individual in @ dress coat, Orna-
meutad with q sparse array OF brass but
tons and star, and single stripe across
his cuffs, was sweeping and cIrclmg
about the room IN the last of the new
step waltzas, and naturally attracted at
tcnti0n. He was introduced to one blue
blOo55d young lady, whOstilfly informed
him that she was not dancing that even
ing, and froze up his further utterances
with an icy stare. As he left, she turned
with celestial ire in her COUutenauCe and
said:
"E0w dare they introduce a Pullman
car conductor to me? Tho mpUdence !
Think of my dancing with him "
My dear, Ignorant, land-lUbberly
lass from the interior, said the con
yuIscd recipient of the angry burst,

Tbe Ouaen Inrited to 9. sit Doll

Since Dean Stanley died, a story he
often told Of Carlyle has been recalled
by many who heard him tell It. Some
years ago, when the Queen was at
Windsor, she said to Lady Augusta
Stanley that she would like to meet, In
a way that would not be ceremOniOus, q
few eminent men Of letters, and soon
afterward the day was fixed. The guests
were to be seven innUmber, two Of them
to be ladies, and, In all, were as follows:
Sir Charles and Lady Lyel, Mr.. and
Mrs. George GrOte, Robert Browning,
Charles Dickens and Mr.. Carlyle. Her
Majesty had before met them all except
Carlyle. Him she had often read and
appreciated, and her interest chiefly
centered in him. She started as the
subject Of conversation the probable fu-
ture Of the second French empire
subject on which Carlyle was greatly at
home, for, in those days, he was pre-
dieting, with singular clearness Of vision,
how the whole NapOleOnic drama would
be extinQuished in flame and smoke from
beneath the stage on which It Is acted.
Both were standing when the talk be
gan, and, as he warmed with his subject,
the Queen still remained on her feet
He desired greatly to sit down; was, In
fact, weary, and finally said to her: ''If
your Majesty would be seated we could
carry on the discussion WithmOre ease.
OF course, she had never realized his
fatigue, but at once the Queen Of En-
gland-and, probably, for the first time
in Ler life as a QUeen-tOOk a seat at the
in ritatiOn of a subject.

After q breach Of I, I,GJ0yeaTs the auue-
duct built by the Emperor Augustus to
supply Bologna with water has been re
stored to use. Nineteen hundred years
ago the imperial engineers tapped the
Setta near its junction with the Reno,
about eleven miles from Bologna, and
brought Its water 70 the city through an
underground passage. They followed
the course of the Reno, tunneliug Jh8
hills, sinking their work beneath the beds
Of the pTecipitOUs torrents which rush
from the mountains into the river, and
bringing the waters to the gates of the
city, where they were divided, one pOr-
ton going to supply the public baths,
and the other probably destined for the
fountains of streets and public squares.
The work of tuuneIug and the mason
ry were SO thoroughly well done that
both stcneWOrk and brickWOrk are still
rs solid as the rock itself, the only con-
siderable breaks being where the tUrbu-
lent Reno had washed away with It's
clayoy banks several portions Of the
aQueduct, or where the headiOng tor
rents which rush down into its stream
had eECaFated their own beds and ear
ried away the artificial subsEucture.
The restoration Of this important work
As due chiefly to Count G0Zzadiui, who
caused an accurate survey Of the aque-
duct to be made about twenty years
ago, and in 1864 published the results of
the investigation In an elaborate me
NOR. Since then the work Of Tes5or-
alton has been going on with @ thorough
ness and skill calculated 30 make the
lew work as enduring as the old. The
aquedUct was originally made Of brick
and stone cemented with lime and vol
canic sand, and the unbroken portions
remained as hard as Granite.

The PAY Of Teachers.

The Rutland CVt) Herald and Globe
says very wisely in regard to the pay Of
teachers: "Ihe low wages that admit
Of no savings, if the teacher has a fam
iIv, is the blight upon q profession that
contains within its exercise more posi-
bilities for good, in multiplying the
best manhood and wOmanhOOd through
the unceasing manipulation. Of charae-
ter in its plastic immaturity, than even
the pulpit, for the teacher comes into
closer contact With the growing youth
Of the country than even the
parent. Three-fOurths Of the teach
ers who serve for meager wages
have no call to their profession, for the
very reason that they take no perma-
nent interest in it; they never expect
to follow it for q ife-calling, so they
cannot give it the necessary pains, the
essential enthusiasm; but once let 1t be
understood that good work and excep-
tiouaI gifts for teaching are sure Of a
reward that did not by its meagerness
compel ceibacy, or the domestic econ
onv Of a church-mOuse, and more men
Of exceptional tact, talent and manhood
would follow teaching for hte-Work. -
The Tribune has for many years adj
vanced these very arguments, and is
glad to see many indications of q grow
ing public sentiment concerning better
wages and stricter reQuuemCnts.-A'Glg
York Tribune.

The officers Of the Government receive
some very amusing letters now and
again. General Walker, the SUperin-
tendent of the census, received a dOleful
account the other day of a lost lover.
The letter was o bona fde one and was
from q lady, an unmarried lady, from
one Of the Southern States.
She said her lover left her fifteen years
ago, taking with him, as a loan from
her, a few hundred dollars that her
uncle had left her. She gave the name
Of her lover as also her own, and said her
lover might possibly be dead. She had
certainly not heard from him since he
weutawav, although she had taken great
pans TO discover his whereabouts She
had been waiting for the names Of the
census to be published, but she was get
ting tired of waiting. Therefore she
begged that General Walker would look
over the names and tell her where her
tUalt lover could be found, or If he was
dead to tell her where he was buried.
She inelosed stamp for q reply. Gen
eral Walker has not yet had time to so
through the fifty millions Of names to
O1iige this faithful woman, but If he
does it at all it viii be some rainy Sun
day when he can't go to church t'Usb-

Guernsey Cattle.

The importation and sale of this breed of
cattle is very rapidly on the increase
They are continually obtaining large num-
beers OF new friends, who are very enthusiasts
tic in their praises, and who all agree in the
statement, that in few years they will have
as great, ifnot greater reputation than the
celebrated Jerseys For butter dairy, we
do not hesitate TO highly recommend Them
the color of their butter being very rich, both
in winter and summer Guemseys are con
siderably larger than Jerseys, their large size
making for them many friends their butter
at the same time is equally choice, but they
are not, however, as symmetrical in form
Skin is of rich yellow hue; head large nose,
yellow or buff, as rule; eyes banded with
same color; horns larger than the Jerseys;
color yellow or Mwn, running to the differ
ent shades of red. The improved Guernsey
of to day is very different from thecourse
uncouth Guernsey of old times, but in size,
shape and color, with the exception of pure
white, approaches nearer the Short Horn
type than almost any other breed. Ano-
ther advantage they possess over Ihost dairy
breeds is, that when dried off they iatten
quite rapidly and prontably 1t is also held
that the milk of II Guernsey COW is richer,
butter made is of more golden color
and that it holds its color longer than any
other during winter. We are glad TO
see the Guern ;ey breeders have formed them
selves into an association known as the
"Guernsey Cattle Club" for preserving the
breed in its purity, and the registration of
pediprsps
