Ridiculous Rates.

Malley, Nicely & Go. surely have req son to be sick of their promise to sell genuine antique Oriental rugs to the highest bidder, but they never squeal Gas the boys say) and they're in 1t to the end. The sale yesterday was certainly a blooming success in point of low prices. People are getting two and three rugs for the money they brought to buy one with. 22 out of the 36 rugs sold yesterday before o'clock averaged SIP each; rugs that, for the most part, have brought over $20 at auction, or about h value. At first people were scared at the value of some of the rugs. Thought they couldn't own one anyway. But present selling indicates that they are bound to come within the means of everybody. If lovers of Oriental rugs stay away from this sale they do so at their own loss. That's sure.

A Curious French Time Piece.

lFr0m Cn e JeWellerS ClrCular.J
 The latest among these curious time pieces is constructed as follows. A sum- flower of silver protrudes from white crystal vase, graceful in shape and soberly decorated. The stalk is of brown gilt, the leaves green, the petals yellow and the heart of the flower deeply oxi- dized. Hour and minute marks are en- graved around the heart of this sum- flower which faces the looker-on. A lady-bird of spotted red enamelled gold apparently rests on the flower, on the line dividing the heart from the petals. This pretty insect, which moves percep- tibly by means of mechanism hidden within the flower, shows the time. By only close inspection can one detect the time divisions on this original dial, which is granulated all over and is bluish- black. As to the hollow circular line on which the lady-bird travels, it is completely invisible.

What Drowning Feels Like.

From the British Medical Journal]
 There are several authentic records
 of the experiences of persons who have
 been snatched from a watery grave when life was all but extinct. One of the most interesting is that of Admiral Beaufort, as described by himself. When a youngster he fell overheard in
 Portsmouth harbor, and before relief
 reached him lad sunk below the sur face. All hope had fled, all exertion ceased, and he felt that he was drown
 ing. We give his account of his sensa-
 tions in his own words: From the
 moment that all exertion had ceased,
 a calm feeling of the most perfect tram
 guilty superseded the previous tumul-
 tuous sensations-it might be called
 apathy, certainly not resignation, for l drowning no longer appeared to be an 1 evil. no longer thought of being res
 cued, nor was in any bodily pain. On | the contrary, my sensations were now of | pleasurable cast partaking of that
 dull but contented sort of feeling which
 precedes the sleep produced by fatigue
 Though the senses were thus deadened,
 not so the mind; its activity seemed to | be invigorated in a ratio which defies all description, for thought rose after thought with a rapidity of succession | that Is not only indescribable, but prob ably inconceivable by any one who has l not himself been in a similar situation The course of these thoughts can even
 now. in great measure retrace-the event which had just taken place, the
 awkwardness that produced it, the bus tie it must have occasioned, the effect 1t would have on a most effectionate
 father. and a thousand other circum-
 stances minutely associated with home
 were the first series of reflections that occurred. Then they took a wider
 range-our last cruise, a former voyage
 and shfpwreck, my school, the progress had made and the time had mis-
 spent, and even all my boyish pursuits
 and adventures. Thus travelling back
 wards.

 DEATH OF EDWIN CASE.
 Mir. Edwin Case died yesterday at his residence on Humphrey street after years of suffering of a cancerous affec- ton of the face. which was incurable. all efforts to stay the progress of the malady being unavailing. The deceased was a very estimable gentleman and possessed many warm friends who prized him for his true worth of charac- ter. He was a man of quiet. unobtrusive life, and an excellent citizen. He was staanch republican and fad been iden- tifed with that party from its birth. Years ago he held a government posi- ton in the internal revenue department. This was at the time of the war, and in years immediately following the war. The internal revenue office, while he was connected with 1t. was for some years in the old Brewster house, which was on Chapel street, few doors below Union street, where the Collins building is now. The deceased leaves a wife, who was unremittingly devoted to the care and comfort of the deceased during his long and painful illness. He leaves also three daughters.
