bet, after taking the eXhumed bones OF
Thomas Paine from America to England,
left them at warehouse in Liverpool,
and no one knows what became OF them.
The facts are that Goblet took the bones
to his own house In Faruham where they
remained slowed away" till after Cob
bets death in IS&5. when his estate. real
and personal, went under the hammer
At the sale the box was brought into the
upper hall OF the house no one knowing
the contents Of the package. GA opening

underneath. The auCtioneer on reading
the plate, uttered an exclamation of
astOnishment at the discovery, and then
said: Il have never sod human flesh. and
never Will sell human bones" Where

box removed. Such is the account OF the
affair As read by the undersigned, now

The fact that young Englishman,
calling himself Savers, cheated the Fifth

having his check cashed, has caused
ripple Of excite ment among the hotel

it was almost impossible to follow the

He added I'VE have to take our chances
and cash checks, or else lose a great many

ont some way about a guest before he
comes to Sc tile. so as to know what TO do
in case a check is given. There are some
men who always pay their hotel bills by
giving checks Now, if we refused to cash
their checks they would never stop at our
no el again. Frequently it is a species Of
gross vanity on the part OF some men TO
give checks-as a rule they are not 50
wealthy. but have little bank account
and a new check book 1t appears quite
millionairy TO them to flip out check book
and draw a check for 500 or 800 and have

The following was related by DR.. Barn
aby in l1G4 The character Of the inhR bit
ants Of Massachusetts Bay is much i'm
proved in comparison with what it was;
but puritanism and spirit of persecution
are not yet totally eXtinguished- The
gentry of both sexes are hOSpitable and
good natured. There iS an air of Civility
in their behavior, but il Is constrained by
fOrmality and preci>eneSs. Eve nthe
women, though easineSs of carriage is pc
cuharly characteristic OF their nature, ap-
pear here with more stiffness and reserve
than in the other colonies.
The lower classes are more in the eN-
treme of this character, and are imperti-
nently curious and inquisitive. | was
told 10y a gentleman Of Philadelphia, who,
in travelling through the provinces Of New
England, having met with many imperti-
nenCes from this extraordinary turn of
character, at last fell upon an eXpedient,
almost as extraordinary, TO get rid OF
them. He had observed. when he went
into an ordinary, that every individual in
the family had question or two tn pro-
pose to him relative to his history; and
that, till each was satisfied, and they had
conferred and compared their intorma-
ton, there was no possibility OF prOcur ing
any refre>hment
He, therefore, the moment he went into
any Of these places, inquired for the mas
ter, the mistress, the sons, the daughters,
the men servants and the maid servants:
and, having assembled them together, he
began in this manner: Worthy people, |

And piercing through the darkness of my

Rests softly on my brow.

And walk along with Him.

How true and sure the woe,

Machine Gun for Police Service.

DIR. Gatling is getting up a new machine
gun for police service. 1t will be CON
structed on the same principle as his large
field gun. but will be very compact The
barrel Of the gun will be only twelve
inches long, and the whole thing when
mounted on police wagon will not weigh
more than fifty pounds. Woe to the dy-
namiters then His idea is to have two or
three Of these guns mounted on a police
wagon, which can be driven rapidly to
the scene of a threatening riot. Each gun
will fire at least 200 shots minute, and
the doctors idea is that the mere knowl-
edge that such weapons are in the posses
sion of the police will of itself prevent any
violent act by a mob.-Washington

the least as though she were
pleased with the entertainment or

opera, Miss Ella Russell having been an
especial favOrite with them. The two eld-
est daughters of the prince of Wales were
present at the last matinee at which the
young prima donna appeared. These two
young damsels are renowned as being the
worst dressed young girls in London, and
that Is saying a good deal On the Oc-
casion of which speak they were attired
in yellow calico dresses and brown fur
capes, and looked like two awkward
schoolgirls more than like two future
