Paragraphic. How Patrick proposes to get over Ills slnglo blessedness. By proposing to Bridge It. The Secretary of the Treasury will eel I 5500,000 In gold on each Thursday In November, or a total of 82,000,000 during the month. An Impertinent fellow was met by a gentleman whom he had Insulted, who observed that he owed htm a good drub bing. "Never mind, sir," said the fel low; "I'll forglvo you the debt!" , ' 'I want you to understand that there Is to be no levity on the atage to night." said the manager of aclty thea tre to the supernumeraries as tho curtain was rung up. "What's a levity, Bill?" nrked one supernumerary of another. "Oh," tnld the olhn, 'I don't knowj suppose It's ft cross 'tween a farco aud a comedy!" At Pittsburg, early Sunday morn ing, burglars entered tho house of Jacob Tell, and after carrying of tho silver ware and other articles, set fire to the house. Mr. Tell awoke his lamlly, and all escaped by Jumping from the, win dows, excepting his son Joseph and the servant girl, Margaret Lynch. Joseph rushed down stairs through tho Dames, and was dangerously burned; the girl, who slept in tho third story, perished, and her disfigured remains were found after the fire was extinguished. The Ore at Selinsgrove.Pa., on Fri day night, began In the stable of Geo Schnurc, and Is supposed to have been the work of an Incendiary. It destroy ed about sixty buildings, comprising over two squares in tho centro of the town. A high wind prevailed durlilg the fire. Among the buildings destroy ed were the Keystone and National Ho tels, the Central School House, the Methodist Church and the Times print ing office, The total loss is estimated at'$120,000. Recently, on the train between Jft. Pleasant and Burlington, Louisiana, a litttle girl traveling with her parents at tracted the attention of the passengers by her brightness. A gentleman went to her scat and asked her If she would not go homo with him, adding that he had a nice little boy that she could play with. The little girl's eyes sparkled and her cherry lips rounded up when she said. "I am going to have a little brother of my own tho first of Decem ber." Some of them laughed, and some didn't, but they all looked pleasant. A man who had missed his way overtook a boy going with a pot of tar to mark his master's sheep. He asked Mm the road to Banff, but was directed by so many turnings that ho agreed to liRi Ilia luliln.l l.ln. nr, II... 1, -.,., Finding the boy pert and doclla, he gavo him some wholesome advice, add ing occasionally, "Mark mo well, my boy." "Yes, sir, I do." He repeated the Injunction so olten that the boy at last cried out, "I cannot mark ye any rualr, as the tar have gl'en out." The new safety catch for collieries, Invented by M. Llbotte, is said to have lately proved its peculiar value at a col liery near Montaur-Jarchlenne, wliero the pit rope broke when drawing up the cage loaded with four tubs of coal the catch or parachuto acting instantly; It forced Its claws In tho elding beam 8 1-5 centimeter deep, and, alter only sliding down one-half meter, brought the cage tn a stand xtlll, and kept sus pended a mass weighing not less than fivo and one-half tons, Including tho cnge, the tubs of coal, and the wire rope. Well Answored On ono occasion, the Rev. John Martin was examining a c'ass In hydrostatics, and nsked a not very popular student. "Jr. Spencer, what would be the 'consequence If thrust you into a pond?" the examiner's object being to ted the student's knowl edge of the law that water rises In pro portion to the weight of the body Im inersed. The student not being able to give a solution, It was put to hU neigh' bor, Mr. Plunket. "What would bu the consequence It I thrust Mr. Spencer In to a pond?" " 'Pon my word, sir," was the reply, "I think Is would be of very little consequence." It Is now proposed to tunnel the Alps at ano'her point, namely, at the fa mous Mont St. Bernard, the plercement to be tbout 0,880 yards long, the tun nel to be constructed In four sections by means of side galleries, so that tho work may be completed In three four years, thete galleries to remain open afterward for ventilation and other uses. A peculiar feature In this work Is the contemplated establishment of a station within the tunnel by widening a suitable area of level central portion. One of tho objects which has led to thU singular plan Is that, possibly for economy's sake, two light trains which had made tho ascent separately, might bo oloed together for the decent on the other side. It Is atso argued that.wlth such au arrangement, many travelers lu me summer season would be glad to attain the summits of the grand St. Barnard by the Inclined passages affor ded by this arrangement, and at the mouths of which stations for refresh meats and even, for lodging might be provided.
