Curiosity Tn Buildings.

In my letter about buildings in New York l forgot to mention a curiosity in this line. 4 builder is erecting in Eighty-sixth street some houses on a new plan; they will be the smallest ever erected in this city. They face, foreign fashion, on . miniature courtyard, and the outer wall will give on the streets. They will be complete for housekeeping, perfect little nesis, being only twelve feet broad by twenty feet deep. By this contrivance the owner will eontriye to pack about fifty families In space comfortably large enough for about twelve. They say these toy houses will be the prettiest ever erected in this city. In striking contrast 10 these houses will be a fat house to be built in Twenty third street, at a cost of S550,000. It will be seven stories high, l75 feet broad, and s8 9~l0 feet deep, There will be six families on a floor, or forty-two families in all.

became wedged fast. If they left it so it would certainly throw the train from the track. If they remained to get it out, their own lives might be lost. But they did not hesitate to risk the sacrifice. Both men seized the bar and rugged at it with all their might. The engineer tried"to stop his train, but could not. He saw the danger of the men, whose efforts to free the bar, he says, "were frantic and like the workings of mad men, At last the bar was freed and the train passed on in safety. But John and Michael Sullivan had paid the penalty of their heroism. At the instant the bar was released John was struck by the engine and killed. Michael was also struck and mangled so frightfully that he died soon after. The saddest of the story is that both men leave families.

The bonds in question are of the denomination ot S1 ,009 each, and were issued by the State of Louisiana 10 the New Orleans, Opel- ouses and Great Western Railroad com> pany May l, 1854.

The Best Remedy Tor Chapped Hands

Is Hegemans Camphor Ice It should be rubbed upon the part affected If the hands are badly chapped apply every night, and protect the hands by wearing an old pair of kid gloves. Hegemans is the best and most popular of all the Camphor Ices made. Hegeman's Camphor Ice is also a cure for sore lips chapped face and sun burn. It is compounded with glycerine, which renders it more emolient than any other Camphor Ice, and it will be found a most soothing application to the face after shaving.
 Be sure to ask for Hegeman's formerly made by Hegeman S Co.,, New York, and now made by the Metropolitan Medical Company of New Haven, Conn., and do not be put off with any other compound, which may become rancid and ao you more harm than good. Hegemans Cam phor Ice never fails.

A PHYSICIAN in Greenpoint, N Y, while operating upon the throat of child about to sufiocate from diphtheria, was foolish enough to apply his own mouth to the opening he had made for the purpose of extracting the diphtheritic membrane by suction. He died of the same disease in consequence. Self sacrificing it was nc doubt, but unnecessarily so. Inasmuch as there was slight chance of saving the child's life any way, it was foolish to run such risk. .--Dr Foote's Heaith Monthly.

Dr. John Bulls Smiths Tonic Syrup :!
 FOR THE CURE OF Fever & Ague CHILLS and FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine Justly claims for 1t superiority over all reme- dies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN and P PERMANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing He refers 10 the entire West ern and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to cure If the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In great many cases single dose has been sufficient for cure, and whole families have been cured by q single bottle, with perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure if its use is con hnued in smaller doses for 0 week or two after tho disease has been checked, more especially in difdcult and long-standing cases Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient how ever, require c cathartlc medicine, after having taken taree or four doses Of the Tonic single dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient
 The genuine SMITHS TONIC SYRUP must have DR. JOHN BULLS private stamp on each bottle DR. JOHN BULL only has the right to manufao- ture and sell the original JOHN J. SmTa's TONIC SYRUP of Louisville, Ky. Examine well the label on each bottle. If my private stamp is not on each bottle do not purchase or you will be deceived.

A not very skillful attempt to repea, the Charley Ross trick has been made in New York. But we must not attribute the iniquity to the Americans.
