Story of Greeley's Eccentricity.

Erastus Brooks, once editor of the New
York Express, told me very interesting
story about Horace Greeley They were
commissioners together in 1855, representing
the United States in the Partisan exposition
of that year. They were to be presented,
with the other commissioners, to the EN-
peror, and assembled for that purpose in a
drawing room of tine hotel whence they were
going in a body TO the palace. Mr.. Brooks
noticed that Mr.. Greeley's coat collar was
turned up, and that one of his trousers legs
was caught over his boot. Calling the edi-
tors attention to his disarranged toilet, Mr..
Brooks adjusted the collar, and, bending low,
put the trousers leg in its proper position. A
half hour later, audience being given, what
was Mr.. Brooks amazement and annoyance,
upon looking at his friend and comrade Gree
ley, to see his attire rearranged precisely as
it had been before Mr. Brooks set it right.
The irresistible inference in Mr.. Brooks
mind was, and continued so down to the date
of telling me the story, that the oddity Of
costume was intentional on the part Of Mr..
Greeley.-Joe Howard in Once Week.

Damming the Great Canyons.

No grander idea has ever been suggested
than that proposed by our National Survey
to dam the canyons of the Rocky noun
tains, in order to form vast reservoirs Of
water, that may be used as needed, to keep
the arid lands Of the great dry basins irri-
gated and fertile. The plan will, if carried
out, I've equally valuable In preventing floods
in the Missouri and Lower Mississippi val
leys. 1t is believed that Isl, 900 square miles
Of land may thus be reclaimed for cultiva-
ton. The extent Of this may be seen by tho
fact that the total extent of land now under
cultivation in the United States Is less than
100000 square miles. Dams can be con-
constructed strong enough absolutely to reg
ulate the spring flooding, retain the supply
and feed it out slowly, as may be needed, all
summer. We shall, by such works, not
greatly surpass the engineering feats Of the

entirely incorrect. have been at the bust

am in position to speak intelligently on the
subject. When the bricks leave the press
they are taken to the klns and piled in such
a manner as to permit the heat to reach every
brick. OF course, the layers near the fires
are always burned harder than those on top,
and it is the amount of heat that regulates
the grades. The bricks that get the most
heat are strictly hard; further up you Will

When Edison, genius and inventor rs hs

to going up and down ON the New York Ele-
waited railroad, trying to discover what
caused its noise and cure for it, he gave up
the job. Then little woman took it. She
rode on the cars three days, was denied a
place to stand on the rear platform, laughed
at for her curiosity and politely snubbed by
conductors and passengers. But she discov-
