AN exchange has unearthed the fol-
lowing from the Leisure HotCT Of Oc-
tober 6, 1853. 1t shows that the pres
ent triumphs of water-gas were antici-
pated thirty-seven years ago: an this
age of wonderful discoveries one Of the
most astonishing that has been for
long time announced consists of the
alleged conversion of water, by
simple magneto-eIectric process Of de-
composition, into a non-expIosive iIIu-
minating gas. Tt is to supercede the
use Of coal gas for lighting, heating,
and cooking, and of coal fuel for loco
motives and steamboats,. About Cd per
1000 feet is, we believe, the estimate,
while even at this low figure there
would be room for considerable profit.

Narragansett Pier-an old wife and q

The love and reverence of children
for their parents, the perfect love that
casts out fear, and which can never be
enjoyed by fathers and mothers who
have been harsh and hasty or selfish;
the friendship between brothers and
sisters which makes each happy in the
others company; the pleasant free
and-easy intercourse in which every
one can speak his or her own mind
without giving ofense-these are the
things which go to make all feel that,
"be It ever so humble, there's no place
like home. "-NeiC York Ledger.

GAN after-dinner speee h, says
Daniel Dougherty. Should always be
brief. It ought never to exceed ten
minutes in length. It should begin
with some light pleasantly and end
in sentiment. The instant that you
have uttered all the thoughts you had
in mind sit down. Don't hesitate and
fish around for more ideas or reproduce
the old ones. If you do you viii spoil
your ease of manner, and manner means
a good deal in an after-dinner speech.
If you say nothing pleasantly every
body at table wild consider that you
have said it well. People at a table do
not look for profound thought or solemn
propositions. And above and beyond all
things they object to being wearied."

shoe has the number of holes usually

is coIored, aged thirteen, and his name
is supposed to be Harry Allen. He
was brought from the mountains of Vir-
ginia because his parents, who lived
there in a semi-civilized state, could not
keep him at home. He would run away
ever since he was old enough to climb
up the mountain side. Sometimes he
would be in the woods alone for a
month at a time. He lived on berries.
roots and live birds, which he could
catch with the facility of eat. These
birds he always ate raw. His hands
are like claws, and the pupils of his
eyes diIate like those OF a cat.

A JOvIAL gentleman near Sheffield,
England, was lately fined 600, with
costs, as between solicitor and client,
for committing what the justice de-
scribed as a most outrageous contempt
Of court by frightening a solicitors
clerk who was sent to serve o writ upon
him. 1t was alleged that the gentle
man had set his hounds upon the clerk,
but the Judge held that the defendant
had not intended any serious mischief
should happen to the clerk, but merely
to brighten him. He was, therefore,
fined for his contempt of court in at
tempting to brighten the server of the
writ.

immortality and hereafter lead a Chris

BOGUS PoRrERs
The stealing Of articles from the sidewalk in
front of grocery and other stores is an art to
which not few colored men have devoted
themselves. To accomplish this successfully
the man who is going to do the stealing attires
himself in the garb of a store porter and wears
q white apron in order to avert suspicion
Then at the proper moment he picks up the
box or package aud walks leisurely down the
street until a corner is reached. Turning this
he quickens his pace until he is a safe distance
away. Many dealers who have lost goods from
their sidewalks of late can attribute the loss To
these bogus porters. The goods they steal are
usually disposed of to small dealers in remote
sections of the CITY,
These are some of the games l worked up
during my brief expedition among Washing

fill good-sized book. Suffice it to say that
there are many crooked people here, and they
are as wary as gray squirrel and as keen
sighted as AN eagle. 4
