A New York paper contains sketch of the career of George NJ. Pullman, the in- ventor of the Pullman palace cars. He lived in Albion, N. Y-, where he was born, until he was twenty-five or there about, and followed his fathers business, the removal and raising of buildings. He was very careful in dress, good-looking, popular and exemplary in conduct. He was very ingenious and fond of figuring out schemes and drawing diagrams of many kinds, to show their feasibility. He was so liberal in his dealings that he never saved any money, and indeed, in so small town, naturally did not make a great deal. Several years before the war,
 when the level of the streets of Chicago was to be raised, Pullman went there and took the contract for elavating the Sher- man house certain number of feet. It was thought to be a prodigious task, and many persons predicted that it could not be done. Pullman went to work scientifi- Cilly llOWCNCl, tCAlCNCA ODJCCG.
 That gave him such a reputation that he had all he wished to do. When the min ing excitement occurred at Pike's Peak he hurried to Colorado, and started a miners supply establishment, which was very successful. While there he devised the plan of sleeping cars, sold out his in- terest in the supplies, and returned to Chicago. He showed his diagram to a number of experienced persons, and they all encouraged him in his undertakings. After working long while in perfecting his plan, he had it patented. Thereafter his progress was rapid and his fortune sure. He is man who likes big opera tions, being a natural speculator, and makes and loses largely with equal equanimitY. s..i ss N.

A Penny Fraud.

In the year 1864 there were very few pence coined at the mint, says an English paper. This arose simply from the fact that there was little or no demand for them. A short time ago this fact seems to have dawned upon some ingenius per- sons supposed to be the flower-sellers round the Bank of England. It is cer- tain that the subsequent "bullying the market" commenced with them. The story became circulated that through ac- cident or oversight quantity of gold had become mixed with the bronze used for coining, and that this had been made into pence in that year. Those in the fraud-for fraud it was-eagerly offered twopence apiece for as many 1864 pen nies as they could obtain. The story got abroad. Everybody endeavored to get these coins, and the original collectors rapidly sold their pennies at three and four times their value. The fact that there are comparatively few pence of that year in circulation materially assist ed the deception, and the "speculators" did good trade. It is perhaps needless to say that there is not an iota of truth in the story of the gold.

Wonderful Clock.

A clock-manufacturing firm in Calcut> ta, India, have lately completed very ingenious time-piece in the shape of an eight-day clock, which strikes the hours on large, full-toned gong and chimes the quarters on eight bells. In connec- tion with the clock there is perpetual calender which gives the correct days of all the various months, including the twenty-nine days of February in the leap- year. 'i
 There is also a military procession worked by the clock, representing various branches of the British army, consisting of artillery, cavalry and infantry, and the staff in review orders. There is also a sentry on duty who salutes drummer, who beats the drum, and bugler who raises his bugle to his mouth every few minutes. All of these figures are ar. ranged at the top of the dial.
 There is also a musical instrument, which plays while the procession is marching in review.
 Near the bottom of the clock is placed a military band which is concealed by a curtain, and which is raised every hour when the music is playing and the pro- cession moving, and falls again immed- lately after the clock has struck, and re- mains drawn until the next hour.
 The case, made of ebonized mahogany, is about six feet high, three feet six inches deep, highly ornamental with brass trimmings. The circles on the dial to show minutes, hours, days of the months, etc., are engraved and silvered. The center and sides of the dial are rich ly enameled. At the sides of the case are massive brass ornamental handles and ornamental fret-work.

He Got His Customer.

The following story is told of an enter prising New York jobber: The merchant in question, having heard of the arrival of a country trader who was known to be large purchaser and of unquestionable credit, was resolved to get him to visit his establishment, and, once there, he felt sure he could secure him as a custom CT. He accordingly sent out one of his drummers, of whom he had quite num- Der, adapted to every taste and disposi- tion. The one sent, however, returned without success. No. 3 was dispatched, with no better result, and again No. 3, and so on until all had gone and come back without their man. The merchant now determined to go himself, and ind- ing that brandy and water and free tick cts to the theatre were of no avail, for the country trader did not take one or go to the other, he was reduced to the necessity of employing ruse, which, as the sequel shows, was simple as we'll as effectual. On taking his departure after pleasant interview the merchant took care to commit the "mistake" of taking the traders hat instead of his own. Next morning, as was expected, the merchant received a prompt visit at his store from the country trader, who came to look up the hat which he supposed had been hurridly exchanged. This was what the merchant wanted, and through this means sold good bill of goods and se- cured regular customer.-Dry Goods Chronicle.

Plaques of Mice.

At intervals of a few years, the Brazil an colony of Lourenco suffers from a re- markable visitation of field mice, the latest of which has just been described by Dr. H.Von hring. These creatures, or dinarily not numerous, appearedi enor- mou quantities, and in few days de- stroyed the fields of corn, potatoes, clover, oats, barley, gourds pumpkins, and even weeds, actually damaging houses to con- siderable extent and running furniture and clothing. The periodical occurrences of these plaques seems to be due to the chief food supply of the mice, the seeds of the bamboo-grass, which at regular intervals of six to thirty years, natures over @ large territory, and then disappears. The field-mice increase so rapidly that, if all the conditions which keep them in check were removed, single pair would bear a progeny of 23,O0O individuals in single summer, and every living thing upon the earth would be consumed, in a half dozen vaars

The New York Graphic declares that 'protests against the slaughter of song birds for millinery purposes have had very little effect in diminishing the de- mand for pathological decorations. As an example of what the ordinary ob- server may see any day in the week, when the sky is clear and the ladies are not afraid to wear thclr best bonnets, the following critical analysis of the head gear of eleven different ladies who rode up town the other afternoon in Madi- son avenue horse car is given by an ex- pert from notes taken on the spot. On the bonnet of the first were the heads and wings of three European starlings. Num- Der two had an entire bird Species un- known) of foreign origin; number three, seven warblers, representing four species; :; number four, large tern; number five, the heads and wings of three shore larks !; number six, the wings of seven shore larks and grass finches; number seven, one-half of a gallinule; number eight, a small tern; number nine, turtle dove; number ten, vireo and yellow breast ed chab; number eleven, ostrich plumes. As to the last it cannot be said that os- trich plumes are properly included in the category of song birds, uor does the pro- curing of the plumes involve the slaugh- ter of the bird. Evidently it is time for Mir. Bergh to turn his attention to this matter"

Carp Culture.

The carp culture in the highlands of Central France is form of industry which merits a good deal more attention and imitation than it has hitherto ob- tained. On that high plateau there are ponds of all sizes, many of them large enough to be dignified by the more grandiloquent name of lakes, but to the country people they are one and all ''etangs' and nothing more. These are one of the chief sources of wealth of the country, which is mostly but poor soil for cultivation, as great portion of it has only recently been reclaimed from moorland and heather. These ponds are stocked with carp, and once every three years great fishing takes place. All the able-bodied men of the country side are engaged for certain day in October to meet at one of the ponds, that on the highest level being taken first. The sluices of the pond are opened three days previously, and the water allowed to run gradually off, leaving the bed of deep mud which seems to be one of the neces. saries of carp existence. When there is only a thin Till of water left rickling down the center of the erstwhile pond, the fishing begins. On all sides the carp lie foundering, panting, gasping on the expanse of mud. In some places the fish are two or three deep on top of one an- other. The number of carp in these ponds is something quite extraordinary they do not seem to suffer individually from their great numbers, for the fish are remarkably fine and heavy. The men wade through the mud, catching the carp by the gills and flinging them on the bank. There they are weighed by men who have come with carts from the near est town to buy the fish, and after the weighing the carp are packed among straw in the carts as tightly as possible. When the carts are full they return to the town, and the carp are then placed in tanks. Reciew.
