A Sketch of Oh aries Lamb.

1t was as fit for thought as could be,
and equally as unfit for action; and
this rendered him melancholy, ap-
prehensive, humorous, and willing tc
make the best of erything, as il
was, both from tenderness of heart
and adherence of alteration. His
understanding was too great to ad.
NIT an absurdity; his frame was not
strong enough to deliver it from a
fear. His sensibility to strong con-
trasts was the foundation of his hu.
NOR, which was that of a wit at
once melancholy and willing to be
pleased. He would beard q super
stition and shudder at the old phan-
tasm while he did it. One could
have imagined him cracking a jest in
the teeth of ghost, and then melt
ing into thin air himself, out of SYM

First Man Dressmaker.

The first man who made name as
a woman's dressmaker was Rhom-
berg, the son of q Bavarian peasant
from the neighborhood of Munich.
One day in 1870 beautiful carriage
appeared on the boulevard of Paris,
with an escutcheon in the shape of a
pair of corsets and an open pair OF
scissors painted on the panel of each
door. This was Rhomberg's coat OF
arms. He owed his rapid success to
his genius for concealing and rem
edying defects of figure. He left an
income of $4,000 francs a year to
his heirs.

Forests and Health.

In the French departments where
forests have been cut down there has
been marked decrease in the num-
Der of births and an increase in that
of deaths during 80 years. In the
last five years the excess of deaths
over births was 1852, and the
mortality in the departments was
nine times as great as in the rest Of
France. M. Jeannel infers from
this that the forests are an impor-
tant factor in the health of France.

M'GoNIGAL's DILEMMA.
Much Confused BY the Striking Of
the Town Clock.

WuCn CONFUSED pf tne Striking OF
the Town Clock.
''Phwat's the manin' of that2" said
Policeman McGonigal to himself as
he lazily pushed aside several bun.
dies Of shingles beneath which he
had hidden to escape from the rain,
and possibly to take nap. "Phwat
is the manin that the new town
clock do be afther stroiking wan three
times running?" runs a story in the
Washington Star.
1t was late at night and Mr.. Nc
Gonigal had been hired by the local
temperance union to watch Casey's
saloon for stray deacons and other
outlaws. AS he crouched among the
bundles of shingles in the back yard
waiting for the hour of two a. m,
when his relief was due, his last
waking remembrance was that the
town clock struck swan. In few
minutes, as he believed, he heard the
bell again toll wan" but when the
third wan" came booming through
the air the McGonigal blood was up,
and the remark quoted at the begin
ningof this tale was uttered. Some
blaggard is striving to sport wild
me, or mebbe it's dreaming Oh am"
To assure himself of his lucidity of
mind he rapidly and accurately ran
over some detective formulas, in
humble imitation of the late Sher-
lock Holmes. ITS cabbage they've
had for supper; Oh know it by

been drinking began; Oh can
tell it by the dhry feeling in me
throat" Reassured by these prac-
tical tests, he became positive that
his mind was as clear as usual, but
he was unequal to the solution of the
problem of the three vans" of the
clock. To solve the puzzle he crept
up to the back door of the saloon,
where his presence excited no COM
ment. Calling softly to Mrs. Ca
sey, she approached with mug of
beer wherewith to propitiate the ma
jesty of the law.
Ibid we hear the dom clock stroke
wan the mint ago, Mrs Casey?"
"Oi did not, but l heard it strike
half-past wan, Mr.. McGonigal.
'"Then Oh was dreamin'," said Nc
Gonigal. 'Oi thought Oh heard it
stroke wan. Did we hear it stroke
wan awhile afore that, Mrs. Casey?"
''Oi did at wan"
That's right; so did Oh. Ye
didn't hear it stroke wan afore wan,

"Oi did not; Oh heard it stroke

decreasing, the business of the great Penn

the present buildings are insufficient in
capacity and many additions are neces-

The next of the Pennsylvania Railroad
CompaBy's series Of popular ten,day ex-
cursions to the seashore will leave Pitts
burg on August 9th.
The reason of the great favor in which
these excursions are held is easy TO see.
The rate of SO for the round trip is phe-
nOmenally low. considering the distance
and the high character of the service; the
limit Of twelve days just fits the time set
apart for the average vacation, and the
dates of the excursion are most convenient
ly adjusted. There is also the widest field
for choice IL the selection of the resort.
Atlantic City, Cape May. Sea Isle City
and Ocean City are the choicest of the At
lantic coast resorts, and any one of them
may be visited under these arrangements.
A special train of parlor cars and dav
coaches will leave Pittsburg on the above
mentioned day at S:55 A. NJ, and connect
at Philadelphia with special train via the
new Delaware river bridge route, landing
passengers at Atlantic City in twelve hours
from Pittsburg; or passengers for Atlantic
City NAV spend the night in Philadelphia
and proceed to destination by regular
trains from Broad Street Station or Market
Street Wharf the following day.
Tickets will be sold for regular trains
leaving Pittsburg at 4:30 and $40 z. NJ,
from all stations at which .hey stop, and
from stations from which regular connec-
tiCn is made with them. The trains have
Pullman sleeping cars attached and arrive
in Philadelphia next morning, whence
passengers may proceed TO the seashore on
any regular train that day.

Captured a Horse Thief.

The Altoona Tribune of Friday says:
On July 18th Howard Nagle, boy aged Is
years, cOOlly appropriated horse which
was grazing on common at Millville and
rode away. The owner, w. +. Peters, of
Millville, got on the trail of the youth
full horse thief and later made Internal ation
before Alderman Huff, charging him with
the offense. The warrant was placed in
the hands of COnstables Ed. Stains and
Roe for service.
Yesterday the officers left the city in
search of the offender. AT GallitZin they
learned he had been there and had gone
from there to St. Augustine. At the lat
ter place the officers learned that the Of
fender had gone to Hastings, and after a
fevered hustle they arrived at that place
at 10 O'Clock, p. NJ, in time to detect hin.
in the act of offering the stolen animal for
sale at S25. The horse and the youthful
thief were brought to this city yesterday,
where the animal was given to its proper
owner and the offender locked up.
Last night Nagle was arraigned for a
hearing before Alderman Huff. Seeing
that the evidence against him was con-
elusive, he plead guilty, and was held in
500 bail for court. The security not being
forthcoming, he was taken TO Jail last
night by Constable Kreider.
