The Old Man'i Wagon, AND WHY IT STOOD LOADED FOB SIXTY- : ONI YEARS. . In tho vitiligo of Hamburg, Ponn., soys the Now York Sin, stands S groat, hesvy furm wsgon, loadod witli lumber, undor an old, dilupidntod shed; and this samo wagon, with its load, has boon standing llicro sixly-one yom this snmmor, -.-- - Join Jluily, tho man who owns the wagon, is now about D8 years of ago, ond has lived boro very nearly all bis lift). Ho is a quiet rnd unassum ing person, who bears his years well, and is known all over this section as one of tho most eccontrio men in the State). This morning I was shown the great four-wheelod curiosity standing undor the shed. My guide was an old and reliable citizen of tho placo. The shed stands very near tho house, and is situated about the centre of the town. Inside of the shod stood the wsgon, loaded with pine boards, just as il had bcon left in 1812. Thosiirht was anything b It inviting. Cobwebs and dust hung heavy from the board sides and roof of tho old shed, and th despoiling hand of timo bad wrought ruin upon the entire surroundings 1 he wheels bud warped and the iron tires had fallen down ; and as thoy dropped, so tbey remain now. The heavy spokes of tho wheels stick in the ground fully six Inches, and it is thought they will rot in a very short lime, and thus throw tho entire mass to the ground. 1 turned to the gentlemen with me and asked bim the fuels concerning such a remarkablo curiosity. He rt . plied : 1 am ncurly seventy years old and was about nine ycursof ogo when 1 Bailey made bis vow. 1 remembe quilo well when ho was building the old houso thore (pointing to tho pres ent residence of Mr. Jiailey), for 1 car ried water to tbo men. In those duys wo bad no railroads, and express and mail lines wont to the lurL,e cities by horse and wagon. Most of our building mulenul was bought at Philadelphia and carted to this pluco by horso and wagon. Bui- cy was a young man then, but a ban working, independent, self-willed per tin. Ilis house was nearly tlnmhed, and the last load of lumber had boon brought from tbe sea coast. Jiuily was not married, but was looking with longing eyos to a bright and blushing woman whom he bud visited or courted but three times, and had obtained what bo thought was sufficient encouragement thai all was right. But thoro was a rival In the case. Another young mans aneo- lions drifted to tho sume spot, and upon several occasions lover .No. 2 had been very kindly received and enter tained; and thcro grew up a jealousy. Lover No. 1 commenced building a houso. Likewiso No. 2. Doth pro ceeded in the work until a load of pino boards for finishing purposes was needed. No. 1 bad a wagon, and as tbo only place the boards were (o be bad was at Philadelphia, Huiley pro ceeded tbithcr, got what he wanted and returned. Lover No. 2 being on speaking terms with tho pure tils of l,lie gin, iiiurriuu tnw ukjuui hi iiibiuw in tho ahsenco of No. 1, and when tbo latter returned ha was mortified bo- yond measure. He drove his wagon undor tho shed, as was cusioinory, un harnessed his horsca, put thorn away, ar.d as he left the wagon, bo declared it should stand as long as time lasts on into eternity. My informant invited mo in to soo this strnntro character. He was sit - ting on an old hickory arm-chair.look ing out upon bis great-grand-children at piny in the yard. He is too old to move about much, and ho very rarely gels out. An impediment in his spcoeb renders it almost impossible to understand bim. I asked him about the wugon, and bo smiled faintly and replied that a great many hundrei' peoplo had asked bim tho samo que. lion. Ha continued by saying that I bad in all probability board tho cor rect history; that he had kept his word so long, and ho hoped he could keep it always. 1 asked bim what "word" be had kept, llo said that whon bo drove bis wagon under the shed be took an onlh bo would never unload it or allow it lo be unloaded, nor would lie ever uso oitbor tho wag on or boards. It is a stipulation in his will that nobody shall molest tho wgon, but on tho contrary it sbull bo protected all the time, and, if possiblo, preserve it until all this world is no moro. Bailey msrriod another woman soon after his first trouble, and alio died six - , . ynarg ago, aged eighty years. 1 hey have several children, who scorn deter mined to carry oul tho uC?'ros oi tuo ojd man. They doclure that wnen the proporty pusses into tueir nanus the father's will shall bo respoctod, The Largest Steam Engine in she Woni.n Pittsburgh claims to have In progress of construction a pair of engines which will be the most pow erful in the world. Reducing tho capacity of somo ol tho largest pump ing engines lo a unuorm tut ui ono foot in tv.enly-four hours, it is found lhat Iho one At tho lehlgb r.ino mines will lift 3,450,000,000 gallons; tho pair at tbe Chicago water works, 4,0U0, 000,000 gollons; the pair at Haarlem, Holland, 10,000,000,000 gallons; while the now PiKnburgb engines will lift 14,240,000,000 gallons.

Powerful Aoting, Tho little old theatre nt Albany, N. Y,, has been tho scone of many curi ous theatical stories. On oneoocssion Jr. Edwin Forrest, tho Amorican tragedian, then a young man, and moro famous for bis muscle than bis geniiiH, gave a trcmedoiia display of really poworl'ul aoting. Ho was sup posed to represent a Roman warrior, and to be nltuckod by six minions of a detested tyrant. A t the rcheursuls Mr. Forrest foundagrcut doal of fuult wilb tho supers who condescended toj play tho minions, They wero too tame; they didn't lay bold of hi in ; lliey wouldn't iro in as if it wero a rotil fight. Mr. Forrest stormed and inreatenea ; tno supers BRamea ana oonsulled. At length the captain of iho supors inquired, in his local slung, "Yer want this to be a bully fight, ohf". "1 do," replied Mr. Forrent. "All right," rejoinod tho coptain, and tho rehoaroul quietly proceed ed. In the orcning the little theatre was crowded, and Mr. Forrest was onlhuttiaHlically r :cived. When (he fighting scene occurred, tho great tragedian took tbo centre of the stage, and the six minions entered rapidly and deployed in skirminhing order. At the cue, "Seize him 1" one minion sumcd a pugilistio attiudo and siruck a blow straight from the Bhouldor upon tho prominont nose of Iho Roman hero; another raised bim about six inches from tho slogo by a well dircot ed kick, rnd tho others mude rosdy to rush in for a decided lussle. For a moment Mr. Forrest stood astounded, his broad ch -'t heaving with rage, his great eyes fltinhing firo, his sturdy legs pluntod Ii ko columns upon the stage. Then came the few minutes of powcrfi I acting, at Iho end of which ono Btip?r was seen sticking headfore most in tho bass drum in iho orches tra, four were having their wound dressed in tho green room, and one, finding himself hi the flies, rushed out Upon tho roof of tho thcalro shouting hire" at the top of his voice, while Mr. Forrest, called before tho curtain bowed his thanks panlingly to thosp pludiug audionoe,who looked upon the atluir as part of Iho pioco, and "hud never before soon Forrest acl so etilen didly." Upon another occasion, how ever, tho poworlul acting was the part of the supers. For the sake of poet' juslico lot us bopo that they wero the eume supers. The hero was Mr. tfoo. Jonos, atterwards known as the Count Inlmnnea M r Jnnnn won ImnArwona- inir tho theatrical Rritisb sailor (Irons lorined. of oourso, into tho theatric Yankee snilor), who fights a brost' aword combat wilb four pirates and roscues a lovely damsel in dis rcss. Ilv nm mnnna or ntlmr Mr. Jtine- hud offended the freo and independent I supers who played tbo pirates, at t' Iho result was a material alteration in the denoument of the drama. The lovely damsel was in distress; tho four pirates were about to bind her and boar her away to their socrol cave: the feelings of the ajdience were wrought up to the highest pitch, when suddenly Mr. Jonos (us. tho Yankoe tur) dashed upon tho sccno threw him sell before tho unhappy damsel, flour ished his cutlass, and shouted, "Come on, villains!" One Yankee sailor is mora than a match for four such lub berly sharks !" "I guoss not," replied one of the pirates, and the four of them cooly took tho astonished Jones by hi. legs and arms, and, in spite of his des perate Btrugglon, carried him bodily olf tho stage, locked bim in tho pro perty closet, and, roturning, boro off the inuiden lo their mountain cavern behind tho scenes.

' When a woman puts three mackerel to soak In a dish-pan, whoso sides sre eight inches bigh, and haves tbo pan on a stairway, she has accomplished her mission and should go hence. This was what a division stroot wo man did Friday night. Filled tho pun at the pump and the lefl it stand ing on tho steps to tho stoop, while she wont into tho next house to sco how many buttons would bo required to go down the front of a rodingote. And a mighty important affuir that was, to be sure. And Ihero was bor husband tonring through tho house in search of a hundkorchief, and not find ing it, of cotitw. And then be rush ed out into tho yard, wondoring where on earth that, women could be, and sturtod down tho stops without seoinj tho pan, or even dreaming that any one could be so idiotio as to leave it there. Of course ho stepped on It ; or at least that is the supposition, as the neighbors, who were brought out by tho crash that followed, saw a horri fied man,and a bigh dish pan, and threo very demoralized mackeral shooting across the garden, and smashing down tbe Bhrubbeiy. And be was a nice sight, was that unhappy man, when Ihey got him on bis feet. There wasn't a dry thread on bim, and bis hnir was full of bils of mackerel, and one of his shoulders was out of joint, and his oout was split the whole length of Iho back, and he appeared to be out of his bead. Ho was carried in tbe houso by somo of the men and laid on a bed, while others went after a doctor, and sixteen women assem bled in tho front room and talked in whispers about the inscrutable ways of Providenco, and what a warning this was to people who novor looked whoro they were going. Legend of the Woman of Stones, Before tho Muckslucs fell from their first estate, they were hoppy people. Itlydclknclokke gave thorn freely all things to enjoy, without the toil of woman's hands. Pleasant roots bad they, and all manner of flesh of oik, of deor, of anlulopo, of fisb wilb many green and goodly herbs which tbe earth abundantly produces. All these things did they eat. without swoal, or toil, or chase. Their days were full ol songs, and their nights of sweet loro, and luughtor, ana the dunce. Their medicines talked wilb tho Chief on high, and their words 'wore wise. .o pestilence, no biacu death, nor blight, nor deadly pains. ever passed among thoir villages. But a maiden of the Muckalus wrought an odious thing in tho sight of men. In wrptb and vensroonco, DiyrJCIKnci okke slow her with bisbsmmer.where- ith be creatod and fashioned tho world. He smolo her unto doalh, on tho spot ; but her guilty lover escaped. Sho was turned into slono, on tbe mountain side, and iho great hammer, likewiso, boside her. There ihey have lain through many.many, many snows, plainly visiblo on tho mountain on everlasting reminder to the unhappy Muckalucs of tho folly and weakness of womnn, and of the onco happy es tate which they lost forever through her wickedness. On the mountain, lowering bigh, which thoy call "Nay lix" just ot Iho edge of the chafing and leaping waves of Upper Klamath Luke is soen tho gigantic form of the Wo man of Slono, extending fur up tho slopo, and beside her head the Ham mer of Creation.

The Penvor News of a lute date contains tbe following ; "The Ulce were nipped ycslorday ; lhat is, thoir preparations for a .grand parade in honor of that scalp wore ruthlessly brokon In upon by Special Agont Thompson, who blocked the game and (iut a stop to the pandemonium they iad inaugurated. Everything was in readiness for a grand pow-wow that would have frightonod all the horses in town out of thoir wits and harness, and sent sensitive women into hyster ics for a week. Tbo Indians who road the JVeu-s had seen that a parade had boen arranged for yesterday fore noon, by Mr. Thompson's permission, and so from early candlelight till Ion o'clock tbe entire outfit were active with the busy notes of preparation. They got out thoir bags of paint, and took oft their rags of clothes and be smeared thomsolves with tho former until they lookod moro elegant of ap purcl than evor tbey do with anything of civilixed construction. The bucks wore attired airily in suils a la mode ocbro, yellow and red, biased on tbo flounoes, headed with a little daub of whitewash, and cut so low in tbe neck that thore was nothing left of the ori ginal garments. Some of the lads were guudily clothod wilh a simple piece of twine tied negligee about tbe loins, which gave them a primitive appearance. Altogether they were a motley crew, so fur as their apparel went; but this, taken with their hea thonish noises and and singing and beating of drums, was enough to cast dismay into even an Arapahoe camp. Tbey got into line about ten o'clock, and sailed down towards town. . Kve ry buck that owuod a gun or a revol ver had it along, anticipating a glori ous time shooting off his powder in tbe faces of the whites in town. Whon they bad arrived at the bridge they were met by Agont Thompson and In terpreter Curtis, who told them they would do moro barm than good, and that the be-t thing tbey could do would bo lo go right away home. Tbe old squaw carrying tho scalp took the bint, and made a counter march, and the remainder of tho rab bio slowly turned their horses' tails toward the town and went back lo their village somewhat disconsolate. Tho streets all around town woro thronged with Easterners and curious sight-seers all tbo forenoon, who were looking for the gentlo suvttgos, but (hey wero all doomed to disappoint ment." Winning Without a Driver There was rather an unusual inc' dont at tbe Sleubenvillo race grounds, says a Pills burgh paper. It was in tho pacing raco tor a purse of $300, froo to all. There wore fivo enlri.s. The winning horso was Oopperbnt tom. Ho took tho first heat, and in the second beat tbo sulky of Copper, bottom came into collision wilb an other, and was instantly overturned. The driver of Conporbollora was of course thrown out, and it was expect ed thut t opporbottom would run away. Contrary to cxpcclation.bow. ever, the horso never broke onco, and came in amid tho wildest of cheers ahead, in as good stylo as if his driver bad been behind him. I he onthusi asm of the crowd was immense. They cheered and cbeored the sell-possessed horse which bad declined to got frightened, like most of its kind, whon released Irom a drivers care. The judges were at first going to give iho heut to tho horso which came in second, because Coppcrholtom camo in without o driver. The crowd get ting wind of the possible ruling against tho gallant Cnppcrbottom, guthcrod around Iho stand, while Irom everv hand went an cries of "Conner- bottom ! Coppcrbottom I" Tho judges saw if they should give llie rnco to tho socond horso that the crowd were just in llie mood to pull tbo stand down about their oars. Tbey then rotired, and after consul tation, ruled tho boat a doad beat. Tbey would have been obliged to give the heat to Coppcrbottom, as ho nev er broke onco, had It nol been for the claim of foul put in by the driver of tho sulky wilh which Coppcrbottom collided. As it was, it was one of the rare events of tho turf whoro a horso hns lost its driver, but yet has kept its piuce in the race as ti Doming naa huppenod. Paper in the Boston Fire.

A New Deadly Weapon., A new deadly weapon, called tbo Sand Club, is desciibcd as follows by a reporter of the Herald in writing up an acoount ot a murderer in Cali fornia, in whose possession was found one of the diabolical instruments af ter his arrest: Tho sand club was. originally made by filling an eel skin with sand. 1 Ins lorined a vory plia ble and deadly weapon. A blow could ' be stuck wilh it which would easily ' break a bone without leaving tbo- slightest mark on tbe skin. It is only wmn a low years Ibat the sand clno bas bcon in use or at least known to tho police authorities of tbo Unitod Slates. Attention was first called to. tho curious weapon in New York. Several bodios of murdored men wore found at different times, the postmor tem examinations of which showed doolh by external violonco, but no marks could bo found on tho ou'side of tbe body. A burglar was finally captured wilh a santf club in his pos session mado out of an eel skin stuffed ' w ith sand. Being closely questioned he explained its uso. When tbe vic tim is struck, for instance, on tbo ' head, he drops insensible and soon dios from congestion of tho brain. ' Oltentimos tbe skull suffers no injury from the stroke, and if the person, siruck recovors a state of sensibility he gradually relapses into a condition ol maudlin idiocy. Sometimes a man struck in the body will bo knocked down by the . peculiar forco of tho blow and fool no immedioto results from it. In a few weeks, however, the flesh will begin to mortify undor the line of tho blow and rot down to the bone. Heller, tho celebrated pi anist, is supposed to buvo root hia death in Mexico from a stroke of this diabolical weapon. . The Art of Hanging. As long as capital punishment is the las; of the land and banging tba mode of accomplishing it, there is sat isfaction in tbo thought that mon are to be found who, regarding it as a scientific process, or an art, if yon will, aro ready wilh advice tomakoit perfect. An English clorgyman, Rev. S llaughton, who is also a Fellow of Itoyal Society, bas been publishing a work on the "Principles of Animal Mechanics," in which be does not dis-. dain lo devoto a portion of tho sparxx to this subject. He s.tys that the method in use is unworthy of tho present stato of science, and the long drop, wbicb cuuses instantaneous. death by tbe fracture of the vertebras, is recommended, tho length of the drop lo bo obtained by tbe following ruio : uivido z.jiu cy mo weigut ot the "patient" in pounds, and the quo-, licnt will bo the required longth in. foot. This rule is simply obtained by supposing (as was found to be actu ally the case in ono instance) that 2,240 footpounds of shock is sufficient, to catiso fracture In any oaso, no al lowance being mado for differences of ago, weight or sex ; thus, by this rulo tbe lighter the criminal or "patient tbo longot must bo bis drop, und tbo longer tho timo of his agony in the. air. Besides an immense number of measurements, nf dissect ions and ex periments on tho bodies of animals, in order to obtain data for his calcula tions, Dr. llaughton bas mado expe riment on the living subject, some times of a somowhal amusing char acter. But tho above is tho practical result at which ho has arrived, and we would suggest that thore is ample means in this country lor testing its valuo. Watermelons Healthy. A writer in the Hartford Post oombats the gon era! impression that watermelons aro. injurious and says: Tho impression scorns to prevail that watermelons aro injurious. Since many of them are now in the market of excollont qnali. ty, it seems but right thut their mer its should be understood. Of oourso,. ono unripo or anywise tending to de cay should be discarded. But Dr. W. W. Hall, in his excellent treatise on "I.oallh by Good Living," recom.. mends tho uso of watermolons "in lorms of disosso in which il may be dosirablo to act upon the kidneys," under which be classes cholera, diar rhea, dysentery and yellow fever (pp. 213-4,) and strongly recommends thq usd of this frnil in such oases. In sup port of this viow ho cites a nnmborof instances of thoir beneficial effect, ono ol which will sudicoasan illustration. A ludy was attacked wilh a debilitat ing and alarming bowel complaint, ordinary romodios proved unavailing; sho was tormontod with excessive thirst; accidentally a very fine largo watormolon was at band; she ate it ravenously; tho symptoms changed almost in an instant, and In two or throe days shs was in her usual health. The watormolon acted upon her kid neys, changed the direction of the drains upon tho systom, and shy wa oavod.
