Tho following Is from tho Jackson
(Tonn.) Whiq of Moy 9: JjOvo laughs
at bolts and bars and yet, at tho sumo
lime, '.hero is mnny a slip betwixt tho
cup nnd tho lip." Tho following true
story pungontly illustrates both of the
above truisms. It happened a fow
days ago in an adjoining county. A
comoly youth fell in lovo with a rural
belle. Sbo smiled upon his suit and
doubtless sighed nnon his waistcoat.
They resolved to become "twain jf

the young couple stole awny amid tbo

the next morning succeeded In pro
curing tbo services of a parson. All
things wore made ready to tie tbo
silkon knot, and the hopes of the lov
ors beat high with tho joys of a spoedy
fruition. But right hero the parson
manifested some doubts as to the pro
priety of tbo proceeding, and insisted
on sending for tho cruol parent at.d

with the ceremony. After mach argu

struck consternation and terror into
the hearts of tho would bo-brido and

and, looking down tbo lane, saw at
its further eud the infuriated father

tne excited party, rushed the father
daughter and lover. The young man
soon dovourcd the distance between
him and his intended bride, and with
a grasp of Iron tore her from the pa-
routal arms and assayed to boar her off

The Iron Works of the Pharaoha.
An English gentleman, truveling in
these parts (near Sinai), was struck
with the small blue stonos discovered
in tho dried up water-courses which
in tbo rainy season oonvoy tho thou
sand streams that hurry to tho sea,
and, having the cu.-iosily to bring
so mo home, he soon discovered that
thoy were turkoisesot no common or
der. This determined him lo make
further researches. Kvontually holms
built a houso near tbo junction of tbo
Wady Kenucb, tho Wudy Mokattco,
or tho written valley, and the Wady
Mcgham. Here, aided by tho friendly
tribes ho has taken into his pay, he
has discovered the old tttrkois mines of
tbe anciont Egyptians, the rocks ttrnL
tbey workod Air the stones, the very
lofi9 they Uftud, and their polinhing
and grinding places. Being a mnn ot
much energy, ho has brought to boar
upon this fortunate disoovery the ad
vanced knowledge of our times, and
he is obtaining and Bonding ovor to
this country some of tbo 11 no at speci
mens of lurkoisos that exist.
Jn such a lonely snot, ho naturally
has not confined bis attention to this
subject only, bnt has traced out tho
system of fortifications by which tho
r haraohs protected thoir works and
workmen, and, what is still moro won
derful, has come upon tho remains of
vast iron-works, so vast indeed, many
thousand peoplo must havo been em
ployed upon thorn, unions the plan
used was on cuilo as grand a scale aa
that of our largest lurnaots in tho

It is however much to be desired
now that the attention is directed to

Underground London.
Underground tho city of London is
certainly the most wonderful In tho
world. It is a labyrinth of drain
pipes, water pipes, gas ptpce and
undorground railways. There aro
points in the soil in London where it
would be extremely difficult to find
room for another pipe. Ono company
alone the Gas Light and Coke Com
pany supplies two districts with
uoarly 400 miles of pipe, varying in
diameter from three inches to four
feet. Those aro main pipes, mcroly,
and from thorn every bouso and struct
lamp roooives on an avcrngo six or
eight feet of small piping. In addition
10 itieso and tne undorground tele
graph wires, thore aro no loss than
:utot drain pipes of various dimen
sions. Jjoaa furaihar to us, but no loss
important, and tho lead and iron tubes
leaden pipes with outer oastings of
iron aiong wuich written moisages,
packed in little felt and gutta-percha
cases, aro blown from station lo sta
tion. Tho convenience of those mes
sages Is immense. A steam eneino
forces in a blast of air, and in about a
minute it travels a distance of U80
yards. There are at prosont 13 sta
tions on tbo undorground railway, and.
as the poople walk upon tho streets of
jjonaon, electricity ts nasumg mos-
sages above their heads, and littlo
missives are whiuinir and drifting
just under their feel. As many as
1,000 pass to and fro mono day. The
drainage system of London presents a
world of underground stroots some
two or throe thousand miles in extont.
All tbo drains empty Into thrco great
sewers running parallel with tho
Thames, which sowers connect in tho
neighborhood of Victoria Park, and
through Barking creek discharge into
mo river. Hon are constantly em
ployed k coping these drains in ropair.
Londoners nover pour a pail of wator
down a drain but at tho depths of
that tnystorioua aperluro somobody is
making way for. A strangor, proper
ly costumed, can explore the depths,
which resemble vaulted galleries, in

Oatohing Bati.
Let ns now take tho case of a bouso
badly in (en tod with rats. How shall
wo get rid of thorn 1 0f course. If they
come from some publ(o sower or other
colony, the supply is probably unlim
ited, and the first thing must be to cut
otrouleidcrs. But if we are troubled by
none but natives, it will not require
much skill to capture overy ono of
thorn old, cunning follows and all.
In the first plaoe we must resolve to
tnko tirao to it and capture the whole
lot, and to Ibis end no attempt must
be mado to capture single animals,
sinco this will tond tnmake them sus
picious and will put tho old ones on
thoir guard. Then provide a large
box or barret ; place in it a quantity
of old carpet, brush, &o., and also some
food, such as meal, choeee.h erring, Ao.
Jtoro a two-Inch holo in the side of the
box, and then Icavo it for so mo days.
Tbe rats will soon find it out and
fronuent it. First a young one will
go in and have a good feed and come
out all right ; tho old ones seeing that
ho Is nol hurt, tbey too, will go in,
and in a short time ovory rat about
tbo pre m t sos wilt frequent it. When
this occurs, seo that it is well sup-
Elii'd with food and arrange ovor the
ole a block having a corresponding
aperluro cut in it out having also a
series of wires stuck around tbo bole
nnd pointing inwards, juntas they aro
arrangod in the common wire traps.
Every rat will go into it as boforo
and nut one can get out.
Various methods may be adopted
for killing tbem. If you are a sports
man, you can let them out one at a
time and shoot them or kill them with
terriers, A few slips of sulphured
apor thrust through the holo and
arncd, is, howover, a vory simple
plan and will give them a most effect
ual quietness. We have known a
caso in which sixty-seven rata were
caught at one llmo In a box arranged
as doBcribod. In this instance ibe
promises wore effectually cleared of
me vermin.
In this system the groat agent is
education. Let tho animals be taught
during a poriod of aoveral days, that
there is no dangar in the boxes,
barrels or traps that we wisb them to
froquent, and they will rush in pell
mull 11 thoy expect to procure lood by
tho operation. Who has not soon
rats attack corn, potatoes, and other
things when covered op in a box and
protected with considerable oareF
Thoy will not only push covers aside
and out holes through boards, but they
will scorn to entirely ignore the pros-
onco of wiros, traps, and otbor etcetera
of the rat cathrr's art. So long as
tbis feeling of sec urity is not disturbed.
