Case of"Loys at First Sight.

Our readers have heard of eItraor-
binary cases Of love at first sight"
but we doubt whether they have ever
heard of case of this kind associated
with a death and funeral. A we'll
known resident of Hagsrstown died
under distressing circumstances last
week. Friends at a distance were
notified of the occurrence, and among
others who responded to the sum
mons was a young lady residing in
Altoona, Pa, who came to remain
with the bereaved family for couple
of weeks to give solace to their sorrow
by her presence and her assistance.
And another sympathetic friend was
a widower, of Pittsburg, who was re-
lated to the bereaved family. The
widower and the lady had never met,
had never known Of each other, were
in no manner related, but, after an
acquaintance of day or so, the
widower made profession OF love to
the lady and was as promptly &C
cepted. The couple on Saturday took
their departure for Altoona, the home
of the lady, with the view OF gaining
the consent Of her father to the pro-
posed marriage, which it is intended
shall take place Immediately. We
believe this is the first case Of the
kind on record. Although Love is
known to have practiced all kinds of
pranks in uniting its victims, wsnever
knew that he attended funerals for
business purposes.-Hagersto,0n Globe.

SMALL
The Insignificant shops in Which the Fa-
nous Sheffield Cutlery Il Made

The Sheffield cutlery-one of the
glories OF England-is not made by ma
chfnery; it IS chiefly made by hand.
There are at Sheffield a few firms
which manufacture cutlery right
through from the making Of steel TO
the finishing OF tools, and employ
wage-workers, and yet even these firms
i am told by my friend, Z. Carpen-
ter, who kindly gathered for me infor-
nation about the Sheffield trade-let
out some part of the work to the small
masters" But By far the greatest
number OF the cutters work in their
homes, With their relatives. or in small
workshops supplied with wheel power,
which they rent for a few shillings a
week. Immense yards are covered
with buildings, which are sub-divided
into series OF small work shops. Some
OF them cover only a few square yards.
and there | saw smiths hammering, all
the day long, blades OF knives On a
small anvil, close by the blaze of their
fires. Occasionally the smith may
have one help or two. In the upper
stories scores Of small workshops are
supplied with wheel power, and in
each Of them three. four, or five work
ers and q master" fabricate, with the
occasional aid OF a few plain ma
chimes, every description OF tools
files, saws, blades Of knives, razors,
and 50 on. Grinding and glazing are
done in other small workshops, and
even steel is cast in a small foundry,
the working staff Of which consists
only Of FIVE or six men. When walk
ing through these workshops easily
imagined myself in a Russian cutlery
village, like Pavlovo Or. Vorsma- The
Sheffield cutlery has thus maintained
its olden organization. and the fact is
the more remarkable as the earnings
Of the cutters are very low as o rule;
but, even when reduced to a few
s.hillings a week, the cutler prefers to
vegetate on his small earnings than to
20 as q waged laborer in a ''house."
The spirit Of the old trade organiza-
lions, which we're so much spoken Of
fge-and-twenty years ago, Is thus still
alive. -Priace Krotapkin, ia Nine
tsenM Century.
