 The following authentic version of the burn ing of the manuscript of the first volume of Carlyle's French Revolution" was communi. cated by Mrs. Carlyle to friend many years ago "When Mir. Carlyle had completed the first volume, Mir. J. s. Mill called on him and stated that he had heard he was engaged in writing the history of the French Revolution, adding that he had himself intended to write on that subject, and that he would be glad to see what was already done in order that he might judge of the advisability of commencing the work or not. Mir. Carlyle readily lent his manuscript. But it happened shortly after ward that Mr. Mills cook ha occasion to bake some cakes, and finding the precious manu- script lying about she concluded that she might turn it to good account, andaccordingly partly as fuel and partly as Inning for the cake tins, she used up the whole of the manuscript. Mr. Carlyle never keeps notes,' said Mrs. Carlyle, but gets all his materials ready, works till he has everything in his head, and then winds it out like silk from reel' Mortified at the accident. Mir. Mill called on the great historian. Such thing never happened be. fore. said Mir. Mill. Yes, though, answered MT. Carlyle, Newton and his dog Diamond. , True, but Newton went mad over it. Well, well, We shall hardly be so bad as that, said Carlyle; and he soon afterward began at .he beginning. scarcely saying word about his misfortune at the time, but afterward, as the work progressed, grumbling about it often."

The father of the Princess, Prince Hugo Windischgratz, General in the Aus trian army, is a rigid Roman Catholic and rs. fuses to permit his daughter to marry Prot. estant. unless the Pope grants his special sanction. This the Pope has consented to do, but on condition that Duke Paul Frederick solemnly pledges shimsef to make Roman Catholics of the offspring of the union. a pledge that Paul Frederick, ss possible sue cessor to the Mecklenburg throne, and as prince of ancient Protestant family, cannot give. To compllcate matters still more, the Grand Duke says he will never permit grand children of his to be .raised in the Roman Catholic faith. All this makes the betrothed couple very unhappy. and they have been Vainly trying to bridge the difficulty over by negotiation.

He was dining with lot of literary sharps" at Boston once. ana, although he was introduced to them all. he forgot their names, and after the wine had circulated freely fer while Sharon joined in the conversation very liberally. historical incident was alluded to by him when quiet man Of venerable appearance corrected Sharon's statement. The senator was quite indignant, and resented the interruption, and even after the dinner was over the fancied in- jury ranked in his breast. He went to the host and asked:
 ''Who is that blank. old fool that tried to teach me history?"
 His name is Bancroft, quietly rephed the host.

AN EXTRAORDINARY SToRY.-An accident occurred on Monday ct Ramey, Clarion county, which proves to be one of the most extraordinary cases ever recorded in the his. tory of surgery or medical jurisprudence. James Gaupell, French Canadian, employed at Ramey's mill, fell from trestle about 12 feet to the ground. After recovering from the shock resulting from the fall he was unable to move his head. and Dr. Edwards, the attend
 ing physician, discovered that his neck was disocated and some of the spinal column had not been severed. The doctor reset and put the fractured neck in position, and set about devising means to put It in place, until the broken bones and confused fragments attain their normal condition. To this end a muslin bandage three inches wide was wrapped tight ly around the neck, and to it were attached two Jugs, one on either side. To these rope was fastened and run over a bully fixed to the ceiling of the room. A bucket was sus- pended on the otber end of the rope, and in it were placed various weights, so that the patient can adjust the contrivance as occasion may require by simply reaching to the bucket and removing or adding one Or two weights. He remains in 6 sitting posture, and should any slight change of position occur the ten- sion of the rope will still support the weight of the head. With these appliances tor his support, the unfortunate man will have to remain practically in the same position until the injured parts become united or death ends the case. Pitts6ury Telegraph.

Affairs do go oddly in this world Ire Jersey, whereby several persons were badly hurt, but only one, as it turned out, fatally. He was young man of singularly industrious habits and of a most unselfsh character. Upon his labors an aged father and mother and two sisters wholly depended for their support. It was the ambition of this young man to give to his mother deed of the house which the fam fly occupied. To this end he had foregone marriage, and toiled early and late; he per sonally attended to the smallest housekeeping details managing them all with the most painstaking economy. The family itself had seen better days, and he was the last prop left. His manly and self-sacrifcing spirit had gradually impressed itself upon the communi- ty in which he lived, so that he was respect fully and kindly regarded on every hand He had been in one place of service and trust for eight years, and only life and time seemed to be needed to enable him finally to secure the end toward which all his energies were bent
