The Last Ten Thousand.
PART I.

PART l.
 On a wet, gloomy afternoon in the April of 187-, Mir. James Heath sat in a house in Adam street, Strand, and in the curiously- furnished apartment which he called his office. The very dirty window curtains of the room were of the richest silk. The costly Turkey carpet was covered with dust and Uttered with bundles of old law papers and newspapers, besides letters and other documents, which, having been torn up, had evidently lain on the floor untouched for weeks or months. On the walls of the room were hung a number of valuable oil paintings, water colors and engravings. Madonnas and Holy Families of the early Spanish and Italian schools, pets of the ballet and the prize ring, Dutch boors, landscapes, portraits and racing scenes-mingled as they were without the least regard to style or subject, the general effect was altogether novel and surprising. About the chamber were a number ofchairs and couches, mostly of antique patterns, but all of them made of the most costly materials, and covered, like the carpet, with dust. In the corners of the room were piles of well-bound volumes, and two massive sideboards-one of oak, the other of ebony-were piled with miscellaneous heaps of books, glasses and silver plate. Everything about the chamber, in short, was dirty, costly and incongru- ous.
 Finally, muffed up in thick over coat, and with his back to the fire- place, in which there was no fire, sat MT. Heath. He was 6 rather stout man of about sixty, with keen, gray eyes, white hair, and very rubicund complexion. On the table before him stood, among a number of papers, . bottle of brandy and a tumbler, and he was engaged in reading long let- ter, which was written in a rather sprawling, boyish hand:
 DEAR STR: must have i've hundred pounds pounds bestdes. This, with what owe you at present. will mako four thousand pounds propose. in consideration of that one Chou. sS .as sSs rSS. aof o if. together with tho whole intcrest under the policy of assu!snce for the 3ooo pounds.

 MY DREAM.

 still,
 An infant,angel to my youthful eyes. His form was perfect ere the nameless chill Of death had made him fitting for the skies. Young were my years, could not compre' Nor, understand why death should damp his
 brow;
 did not deem death was an old mans friend, Much less an infants,-but know 1t now. know it, though life ever was to me More joy than sorrow, still my living tells That in deaths vOiceless, vast eternity, There is place where God forever dwells!

 It was cold and checrless day in spring, One Of those days that chill and chill the

There was smile upon his baby brow, He fearless seemed, n rose was in his hand When To an angel at his shallop's brow steered the frail bark to Gods eternal
 strand!
 The flame lit shrouds, that long had let me Expired just as his death boat touched the

PART II.

In the second week of the following June, MT. Heath, who had . small house in Noting Hill, was sitting in his parlor at little after eight o'clock in the evening, when the servant came in to say that MT. Bailey wished to sec him.
 "Show him in at once" said Heath, who rose from his seat and went to the door to meet him.
 A shabbily dressed little man, who looked something nke lawyer's clerk out of employment, came into tho room.

 Not many months at the fnrthest. Strange that the last 10000 should come altogether in this way; might have been three or four years getting it together. Perhaps longer. Who can tell? We make more bad debts than people think, and, like the snail crawling up the post, I might, now and then, have slipped down at night twice as far as I had crawled during the day.
 "But here the whole thing is done. The last ten thousand made, as the saying is, by the stroke of my pen.

Accordingly she went at once to the city, where she learned that the two American railways in which nearly all her money was in- vested had ceased to pay dividends. That, in short, the shares were almost unstable, as 1t was highly probable that the concerns would be sold under foreclosure of mortgages. Mrs. Os- wald did all she could under the cir- cumstanoes. She gave up her house in Porchester Terrace and took lodg- ings in St. Paul's road, Camden Town, where she devoted herself to the task of nursing her son, who was now fast sinking into consumption.

A Eamn,s stronc nIun.

The famous strong man, Topham, of
Isington, may be considered fair Illus
tration of those cases of exceptional develop
ment Of strength-without exceptional
muscular development. Topham could
take kitchen poker and twist it
round his neck in such way that
four or five strong men were unable to I'M
twist it-a feat which he accomplished as
readily as the twisting He could squeeze
O pewter pint pot fat in his hand, double up
a crown piece with his fingers, and break a
short piece OF tobacco pipe by side pressure
between his two fingers opened out i'll v
shane This last feat, us depending on the
action of muscles very seldom trained t. do
any work, is specially remarkable; it serves
to confirm the belief that Topham was able,
rs it were, to charge his muscle with an ex-
ceptional supply Of nerve force. They were
certainly not unusually developed, though
of course they We're above the average size

Invention FOR Telegraph Operators


1t is latent signal transmitter called the
teiescine. In I'LL former means of commune
cation of JEis kind tho moment the signal
was operated at one stand it was transmitted
to tho second or receiving stand. Such was
the casc with the telephone, and telegraph,
aud push button, and railway signals, etc.
This made it necessary that there should be
some person or instrument at the receiving
stand to receive the signals at tho instant
they were operated, or else the sending opcr
ator would have to wait until the receiving
operator was at tho receiving stand, and,
Also the receiving operator would have to
leave whatever lie was at to keep the oper-
ator at the sending stand from waiting.
Now the principle OF this latent signal is that
instead of heing transmitted Immediately, it
remain; locked UP, SET or stored at the receiv
ing stand and subject Il. the control of the
receiving operator, after it has been set or
prepared by the sender. In other words, it
is 4 sort of coordination telegraph End phon-
