/ Clergyman MISTAKEN for |. Burglar,

The pastor Of an uptown church in
this city recently spent an evening in
his study at his residence, and became
SO engrossed with his readings-sp
ing over many quaint and curious vol
ume of forgotten lore''-that he did not
heed the lapse of time until neighbour
ing clock tolled the hour of twelve,
when he arose and was about to retire,
but suffering somewhat in his head from
the several hours of close confinement
he thought he would first spend a few
moments outside to enjoy the cool air.
Reaching the sidewalk, he commenced
pacing up and down in front of his
dwelling like Don Quixote watching his
armor. While he was thus engaged a
policeman caught sight of him from the
opposite side and watched his move
ments, evidently regarding the reverend
gentleman as burglar with designs on
the house in front Of which he was pass
ing to and fro. Having sufficiently re-
freshed himself, the clergyman ascend
ed the stoop and was about to unlock
the front door with his night-key when
the officer fastened across the street,
ran up the stoop and laid heavy hand
on the minister's shoulder. The latter,
very much alarmed, demanded an ex-
PLANTATION, which the policeman did not
vouchsafe, but roughly grabbed the KEY
from the hand of the supposed burglar
and placed it in hispocket.
"What doyou mean, sir, by acting in
this manner? would have you know
this is my residence" almost shouted
the minister.
Come, now; none of that" sneered
the officer. "That is altogether too
thin. We are accustomed to that sort
of thing from you fellows"
but, sir, am telling you the truth;
I live here,'' urged the injured dominic.
'You can't play that; come along"
and the officer roughly grasped the cler-
gyman's arm.
"Then ring the BELL" said the gen.
tleman, g if you do not believe mel
The officer jerked the bell-handle with
great force, keeping his hold on his man
lest he should escape. The minister's
wife cautiously opened the door a few
inches and was very much terrified at
the sight of the policeman, and in the
darkness failed to recognize her hus-
band.
"This man, madame, claims to live
here" said the officer.
The lady, in her fright and confusion,
thought nothing about her husband, and
screamed out: mo, he doesn't; take
him away! Take him awayr' and
quickly slammed the door.
The astonished husband appealingly
called his wife by name, saying: "My
dear, don't you know me?'
The door was quickly reopened and
the husband entered, much to the as
tonishment, not to say disgust, of the
policeman.-Brooklqh Unioa-Argus.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

-Lowiston, Me-, manufactures l,5O0,-
900 bobbins valued at &100, 900. every
year.
"A wire 400 feet long can be made
from one grain OF silver. Such wire
Is finer than human hair.
Microscopic investigation discloses
1872 different living organisms in the
water drawn from a hydrant in Cleve-
land.
1t is calculated that $4,000, 600, 900
of gold and silver have been extracted
from the earth since the discovery OF
gold mines in California
Recently there was cut out of one
log at Orange, Texas, fifty-nine ties,
containing 1883 feet, and 7S7 feet of
boxing, making total of 2,675 feet, all
heart.
i'm Holyoke, Mass, are twenty five
mills, with $4,000, 900 capital, and EN-.
ploying $500 men engaged in making
writing paper. Their product is $50
tons day, more than one-half of the
entire American production of writing
papers.
The number of varieties of insects
is vastly greater than that of all other
living creatures. The oak supports $50
the pine. Humboldt, in 1849, calculated
that between 10000 and 1000 speci-
mems were preserved in collections, but
recent estimates place the present num-
Der at about $50, 900 species.
Among the statements called out by
the recent Tariff Convention at Chicago
was one to the effect that if the planting
of vines in California continues at the
present rate for half a century, the grape
and wine supply from this source will be
not less than four times the quantity pro-
duced by France fifty years ago. 1t has
long been predicted that California
would owe her title of Golden to the
products of her fields rather than her
mines. -. -r r -.-
In a recent article in the Contempt
rary Reviep, DIR. M. G.. Mulhall gives
some interesting facts regarding the
average wealth of the British people.
He estimates that since 1860 the British
people have built 10000 new houses,
have rebuilt or replaced 800, 600 old ones,
and are SO per cent. better lodged than
in 1860. The average rent of each house
is E43 per annum in London, Els in the
rest of England, nearly Els in Scotland,
and little under "a in Ireland. He
finds that each inhabitant was worth
ESQ in 1860, nearly ego in 1870, and
about ESQ in 1880. The ratio of paul
pers was per cent. in 1870, and per
cent in 1880. -
The hard, black German slate pencil
has been superseded of late years by the
round white pencil of clay slate. At the
quarry near Castleton, VT, about thirty
five workmen produce $4,000 pencils
daily, and it is proposed to increase the
daily output to 100000. The blocks
when quarried are sawed into pieces
seven by twelve inches, split to thick
ness of a half inch and smoothed by
planer. The block is passed under
semi-circular knife, and, after having
been turned over, the process is repeat
ed. The result is so Finch pencils. A
particle of quartz in the block would
break all the pencils. They are. pointed
by a grindstone, turned, assorted, and
sent to market in boxes of hundred.

Rather Enthusiastic.

The Wilmington (Del.) Daily Republican
lately contained the following item of popular
interest: DR.. J. F. Speck, who is connected
with the Wilmington Every Evening, speaks
rather enthusiastically Of st. Jacobs OIL DR..
Speck states that he uses the Oil in his family
as q household remedy, sort of universal
panacea for all aches and pains, and has al
ways found it to act most happily. His atten-
ton was called to it by the many testimonials
in its favor, and he one day used it upon him
self for sore throat. Two applications were
sufficient to effect cure. He also used it on
his little girl for sore throat with gratifying
success. The same child had scarlet fever this
winter which left the tendons of one leg much
contracted. The little prattler couldn't walk
without assistance and suffered much neon
venience and pain. Several applications Of
st. Jacobs Oil restored her limb to its normal
condition and she has not experienced any
trouble since. DR.. Speck states that he has
also seen the Oh act charmingly in toothache.
He thinks St. Jacobs Oil is q sterling remedy,
and does not hesitate to recommend II for
rheumatism, etc.

"A blind man of fifty has married a
girl of fourteen in Philadelphia, her
parents consenting, and Unitarian
clergyman performing the ceremony.
The motive on the part of the bride
seems to have been a desire to roam
about the country, for her husband is a
beggar and will take her on his jour-
neys as guide. Another girl of the
same age has married travelling ma

long talk she explained, with much he's

was traced by her peculiar feet to
Duncan's Island (Benvenue) some
twelve or fourteen miles distance,
but at this point all trace was lost.
Mr.. Horting telegraphed to various
places but as yet has received no in
formation of the missing animal. A
reward of S25 is offered for the re
covery of the animal and arrest of

Itu llllHlibto-
1t is a fact known to few people in
Juniata, that James Law, the first
Register and Recorder that Juniata
County had is still living. Juniata
county was separated from Miffiin
county in 1881. George Wolf
Democrat-was then Governor of the
Commonwealth. Law was appointed
Register and Recorder by Wolf, but
resigned and went west in 1882.
A few days ago he returned to Milf
fintown. He is now an old man.
He is native of this place, but there
are few people here, that were here
when he lived in this town. L. S.
Doty, Noah Elder, Col. Bell. George
Jacobs Sr., and John Robson, com
prehend the list of men here now
that knew Law when he wa. young
man. His father did business as a
merchant for a period of 40 years on
the corner where Harleys store now
is. Mr.. Law called at the Office
of the Register and Recorder the
other day, and had a pleasant talk
with J. Miller Mcdonald the present
Register and Recorder. And thus
the first officer that the office had,
