IN THE ROCK HOME OF DEATH.
crewsome Journey Through tho Cata-
combs OF Paris.

Grewsome Journey Through tho Cata-
combs OF Paris.
Down, down, down. ALI are in the
rock home of death. A moments pause,
silence falls en- the chattering crowd. .
says the Gentleman's Magazine. Then,
affrighted with their seconds fear, they
sway onward through rocky gallery.
Rock on either side of them, rock above
chem; here bare and arid, there slimy
with oozing water and foul growths,
The passage broadens out, IT narrows,
and ever and ever there is the black
line on the roof that marks the road.
Suddenly black shadow on the left or
to the right. The eye plunges into the
depths of the side roads, and recoils
aghast at their mysterious gloom. The
lights file on. A thin glitter seams a
dark gap with flicl1ering, broken line
of light. "Ah!' says the guide. Eyes,
q chain"
Still forward, the shadows to right
and left grow in size; some have a
sentry silently guarding their obscurity
! from rash obtrusion; where there is no
sentry there is a chain.
A sudden check from in front breaks
the continuity of the forward move
ment. ,1.,,. d. ~, ..
We move on again, and To-! the rocks
on either hand contract, change color,
break out into the grewsome design of
a symmetrically built wall of bones and
skulls. From the level of our heads
down to the level of our feet skull rests
upon skull and leans back against the
myriad bones behind. The shiverinp
candlelight falls with unequal rays
upon the formal tiers; it flashes coldiy
upon the grinning teeth, penetrates the
mortarless crannies of the wall, and
ever shows bone of many shapes and
curves. Now it lights up rent in
some skull-a ghastly, jagged wound
which haunts one with the thought of
foul murder. Anon it shimmers with
erratic play on the trickling water that,
pnrsuing its silent way from year to
year, has erusted with smooth gloss
the skull beneath.

A Family of Fish.

A New Yorker sitting on the edge
of small Adirondack lake was at
tracted by school of tiny fish that
seemed to move in remarkable union.
Watching for a long time he discovered
that the infant fish were guarded by
the parents, for whenever the young
began to stray they were driven back
into the school by a large fish on one
side or the other, and whenever a
strange fish approached, one. OF the
guardians rushed at him and drove
him of. The watcher noted the move
nents of several small schools for two
hours, and vows that tho little crea-
lures were tended like q drove oegheep.

SOUTHINGTON.

Jan. 6-Our town meeting is to be held in the town hall on Monday. The few days that the men have in the winter when the shops shut down gives them rest and a time to look about, which they like.
 The sky was a light blue Thursday with here and there a fieecy white cloud and the sun doing it's level best to keep us all warm, in spite of the wind blowing cold and making one wear an overcoat.
 The boys have had lots of sport slat- ing on the crust. Is there anyone here who may not enjoy the full privileges which resi- dence among such happy, prosperous people gives opportunity of?

 Everyone here is doing about what suits everyone else and so life on it's social side and it's common everyday go-ahead way is being liked and no one has a word against it.

The manure was spread even on the snow and when the snow melts it will drop on to the ground and be evenly spread in way that it could not be done If he waited to have the snow thaw and get out the way. It was fine sight to see alongside the big surface of snow all about it stretching away for half a mile.

The horses ran as far. as Mrs. Eliza Mansfield's, where they turned into the gateway and were captured and lodged in Joseph Pierpont's barn to await further developments.

Linco1n,s Joke on Seward.

[Noah Brooks in the Century for January. ]
 On the 9th the First corps, commando ed by General Reynolds, was reviewed by the President on beautiful plain at the north of Potomac creek, about eight miles from Hooker's headquar- ters. We rode thither in an ambu- lance, over rough corduroy road; and, as we passed over some of the more difficult portions of the jolting way, the ambulance driver, who sat well in front, occasionally let fly q volley of suppressed paths at his wild team of six mules. Finally, MT. Lincoln, lean ing forward touched the man on the shoulder and said:
 "Excuse me, my friend, are you an Episcopalian"
 The man, greatly startled, looked around and replied:
 "No, MT, President, l am Metho- dist"
 "Well" said Lincoln, "I thought you must be an Episcopalian, because you swear just like Governor Seward, who is a church warden" The driver swore no more.

herself in good faith, was married to
Wadsworth Porter.
Then il was that George Adams,
''Dlore alive and iiendish than ever
to quote from letter subsequently
written 10y Mrs. Adams Porter to Min
nie-turned up in San Francisco. The
notice of his death, published here,
was only a part OF his villainous plan
for extorting more money from his
wife. As Mrs. Adains-Porter was go
ing from the old American Theatre
one night across to her hotel she saw
Adams standing on the corner. He
had been ''iayfng for her." 50 he in
formed her, adding, by way OF jocular
graduation to his own shrewdness,
that she had fallen into the trap he
had set for her" As Il result OF the
conference which ensued Adams secur-
ed 500 from his wife on condition that
he would go away and cease his perse-
cutions. That is supposed to have
been the last meeting between Minnie
Adams Brooke's father and mother.
IL Is now claimed that the estate, in
stead of being worth 400 with inter
est for nineteen years, will aggregate
i'll the nsighbOrhood of SlS,001. Doc
umentary evidence will be forIhcon-
ing, it is asserted, showing that Jennie
ams-Porter-Parsons had $1,000 on
deposit here in san Francisco.

About Strong Hen.

Thomas Thompson lifted the barrels
OF water, weighing together 1855
pounds Oh March -, 1872 He also
put an iron bar on his neck, seized hold
of its two ends, and bent it until the
latter met. On another occasion he
raised with his teeth table six feet
long, supporting at itS farthCst end a
weight of 100 pounds. lie also tore
without serious effort a rope Of diam
cter Of two inches, aud lifted q horse
over bar.
Some years ago 4 negro appeared in
London who, with one hand and his
arm straight, lifted from the ground a
chair on which was seated a full grown
man having on his lap child.
1t is on record that "A German called
BuchhOltz lifted with his teeth IA can
non weighing about 100 pounds, and
fred it off IN that position. While
performing at Epernay, in France, the
same feat, the barrel of the gun burst.

There are stories OF other strong men

count, in a private entertainment, bent
an iron bar by beating it with his right
hand against his left arm, protected by

Charles LouvieT, carpenter ofParis,
found it child's play to roll IA tin basin
between his fingers into a cylinder.
On one occasion he carried of sol
dier on guard who had gone to sleep
in the sentry box, depositing both on q
low churchyard wall close by. An
equally amusing story Is told of a Dane,

while standing in window on the
ground floor, lifted with one hand half
