An Amusing Incident.

The conservative and courteous Bish- op of some two-thirds of tine common wealth of the Keystone State gives hu- morous incident that actually occurred during one of his visitations at one of the principal towns not hundred miles from Harrisburg.
 Good Judge l.. Is not only ain earnest churchman but very fond of showing his neighbors the way to church also. At any special service he was sure to have couple or more of his legal friends ill his pew with him, being very attentive himself both to the service and to his friends, showing them the places in the prayer book, and trying to keep them contented.
 At recent visitation of Bishop H. the Judge was seen passing the books, and at every change ln the service handing over other books. and then devoutly con tinuing his own duties. It was Sunday morning, and by the time the solemn Iitany was reached the visitors, having no especial interest in the affair beyond pleasing the Judge, and consenting to listen to good square sermon which he had promised them, whenever in the sa- cred programme it should be presented, began to tire of the performance, and, with freedom more becoming the court room or street than the sanctuary, one of them, finding 1t impossible to keep up the connection of things, blrrted out in good stage whisper, Judge, this beats the devil!'
 "That is the intention Good Lord, deliver us, ," replied the Judge, in pretty positive tones. and in a sort of monoton that came near to seeming addition to the church's liturgy not in the book HaT2oer's Magazine.

Brief and to tie Point.

A lady resident of Milwaukee visited one of our prominent families, bringins with her pair of twin sons, of whom she is very proud, both being handsome, sprightiy and precocious httle fellow, in degree that would excite the pridt of any fond and appreciative mother A short time ago gentleman sent, as D gift to the lads, a pair of "Colorado jacks, which, of course, tickled thei boyish faneies immensely after they had learned the important lesson of non-tn- @terference with the business end Of the animals. One of the boys had been giving a lady caller glowing descrip- tion of the pets. which led to the query;
 "Are your jacks gentle, Frank ?''
 We'll, yes, ma'am,' said Frank. "They are awful tame in front, but you bet they're awful wild behind. "-Dat- 6uque Herald.

 cost $115, GOO, and wtts said to be, when opened, the longest suspension bridge ill the world, CT l ,266 feet between towers.
 The Cincinnati Suspension bridge, by Roebling, stands next to the East River bridge, and Is 1, ,057 feet between toWe,s,' and ,, 252 between the ends the bridg.. IS 1U3 feet above low water, the towers are 230 feet high, and each Is taller and larger than the Bunker Hill monument, and the structure cost Sl 800, GOO 1t was built by company, and charges 3 cents toll per man. Tins bridge has been ill most useful operation since about 1867 It was eleven years between its com mencement and opening.
 Roebhng, the proiector of the Brook lyn bridge, was the greatest bridge builder in the world He started the making of wire cordage in America, and built suspension bridges to carry the aqueducts of canals across rivers, and engineered the Pennsylvania raiiro d across the mountains. The Brooklyn bridge, between towers, Is ], ,595 feet long, Behind the towers there are 940 feet each side, back to the anchorages. The whole length of the bridge and approaches Is 6,000 feet. Itis one of the widest bridge in the world, S5 feet, with a promenade l3 feet wide, two railroad tracks and four carriage and two horse-car tracks. It is l35 feet in the center above the water. The rock on which the towers rest Is about Il nety feet below the surface of the water on the New York side, and half that depth on the Brooklyn side-the most stupendous thing about the struct- ure. Each tower Is 134 feet long by 56 wide, and at the top these dimensions arc reduced to 120 feet by 40, or the size of ;. very large house. Each toweris 268 feet above high water. It is ], 1886 feet from 1 the beginning of the causeway on Chat ham street out to the anchorage on the. New York shore. The architect of the bridge received his death wound almost at its inception. n.-Buldetin' Monthly.

On the Blue Danube.

4 correspondent, describing a trip down the Danube, in Austria, says e. Tie floating grain mills on the Dan ube are its most curious feature. Fancy two canal boats moored parallel to each other in mid-river, about fifteen or twen- ty feet apart, and supporting between them the crank of gigantic mill wheel, turned by the current of the stream. Fancy, moreover, the sides of one of these boats carried mp one story higher than the other, then roofed over Ia Noah's ark, with windows and doors as needed, and you will have fair idea of these Danube grain mills, some four or five thousand of which, in groups of ten or twelve together, are scattered along this watery highway all the way from Vienna to Belgrave Each mill is inscIi,sd with its owners nane."

Edwin B0o!h's First Appearance on
 the Stage.

Edwin Booth $. first appearance on the regular stage was made Sept. 1n,f 1849, at the Boston Museum, in the little part of Tressii, in Cibber's version of "Rich- ard H." Junius Brutus Booth, his father-the rival of Edmund Kean, and one of the greatest tragedians that ever at the Museum, and Edwin was in at tendance on him as dresser. Tressil had been cast to the promptar of the theater; but 1t chanced that this person wished to avoid the duty of acting 1t, and that he succeeded in persuading Edwin to undertake 1t, This arrangement was made without the elder Booths knowl- edge, and he only became awaie of 1t by reading in the play-bill the announce ment of his sons first appearance, duly underlined ''Fool p was all he said when he read this announcement; and this remark was not understood to sig nify encouragement. When the night came, and Edwin had dressed his father for Gloster, and himself for Tressil, the eccentric parent-who,. beneath an out ward aspect of indifference, loved this son with the fondest affection-took a chair, lit clgar, and, viewing the youth with a critical eye, made this inquiry, Do you know that you are supposed to have been riding hard and far?"
 Yes, sir.
 Where are your spurs ?'
 "I haven't any,"
 "Take mine"-holding out one booted leg.
 The boy took the spurs, and went on for his little scene with King Henry VI When he returned, his father was still sitting negligently in the chair, and smoking the clgar- "Give me my spurs, ) he said, again holding out his leg; and this was all the comment that Edwin Booths first professional appearance ever elicited from the parent whom he idolized. He learned subsequently though, that his father had been down at the wing, and had watched the first effort with evident interest and satisfac. ton, and then hastened back to his non. chalant pose in the dressing-room. There never, surely, could have been a more singular being than Junius Brutus Booth, This little trait of character is but one of thousands that marked him as unique person. -HGgper's Magazine.
