i can’t think what indneed mo finally 0 that bazaar. It was a scefie inwaY tmanited to n. person like

' indneed me uo interest

To say the least of it, it is

Such are my opinions in theory, if 01 in practice, for I Tmdohbtedly did

■ 3 that bazaar; partly, I think, be- e I was tired of saying Iwonld not.mted to send them a sovereign to rut of it, but they wonld’ not let me My two cqttsins. Mis, QBAspnccSi:

“And you would not wish people to

“xou are hard on me, MissGrahame,” id I."Not at all, Mr. Chester,” said the

"Men are so odd, are they?” I mut-

Tet when the next day came

“No, I am glad,” she replied'. ‘’Glad that you have yielded, and glad because you are making me enjoy a' small tri­umph.”

“Which is—” said X.“That I read your character aiight,”

said Miss Grahame. “Xsaifiyou womldcome, after all.”

‘TTou are dangerous, Miss Orahame,I replied, ‘ ‘and be reading my othercharacteristics, I fear.”

“Or those you affect to have,” she said.

“Am I so affected?” I asked.“ Come, Mr- Chester,” she said, “I

must mind my business, and cannot stay answering your questions- Now come,what will you buy? Which shallit be—tea things, a drawing slate, adoll dressed, or the latest fashion, or a—”

“Unless you ■wish to drive me aWpy to despair, don’t tease-me to buy. MissGrahame. What on earth is that?” Iasked, pointing to a long wooden box, with the front of a house, five windows and a door pointed on it.

“That ? Oh, don’t you know ? that’sa doll’s-honse.”

“Is it?” 1 remarked, not a bit wiser. "Yes, look here,” she said ; and she

threw open the whole side of the house, windows and all—a process peculiarly airy and unexpected to the inhabitants, I should imagine.

There were five rooms within—twositting-rooms, a kitchen, two bedrooms and a hall—all most exquisitely fur­nished, Aom the smallest kitchen req­uisite to a set of dressing-case bottleson the toilet-table of the best bedroom,before which a doll in a dressing-gown was seated, at an angle peoiriiar to wooden joints.

I could not tell'whieh I admired most,the exceeding^ clever workmanshipand skill displayed in this completeminiature residence, or the grace andvivacity with which .Miss Grahame showed me all its merits from cellar to garret. I praised the doll’s house and the oicerone, and actually yielded to her entreaty to purchase something.

“Yon shall choose it,” I sa id ; “only -for goodness sake use discretion inyOur choice.”

She selected a man of india-rubber that squeaked and was squeezable from among the heap of rubbish on her stall. It was a valuable possession to a man of my taste.

Thence I wandered to anotber stall,and by-and-by found myself to be thepossessor of a set of pen-wipers, mpre or less hideous; a smoking-oap, which ■Was particularly useful, as 1 never smoked, considering it a nasty habit; a pair of slippers of an outrageously Ugly pattern, and a book-marker.

“Surely,” I thought, “I’ve bought enough now; so I’U be off.”

I ought to mention hero that this ba­zaar, though for a local purpose and connected ■with Dorkhampton, was be­ing held in London, the committee thinking thereby to secure more money. Now, tbougfi I never went into societyregular^, whenever the season cameround I moved up to town, into smalland inexpensive lodgings, which I pre­ferred to more stylish ones, knowingthem to be clean. I liked to Lein Iron-don when so many scientific men werethere and so mach of interest goin^ on.Why I allude to my being in lodgingsat the time will appear later. I most now return to the bazaar.

As I was saying, I bad just made upmy mind to go home, and was thread­ing my way through a crowd of over­dressed people to the*door, when I was again caught by Miss Grahame.

“Oh, Mr. Chester, you are just in time!” she exclaimed. “The doU’s- house you admired so much is being raffled for, and I have pub down yonr name for a chance.” '

“No, no. Miss Grahame,” said I."Yes, Mi’. Chester, yes,’’she repeated.

*^oiL ]^ow you ndmire you,can’tdeny that,”

“As a work of art it is very curious,” saift I ; “aa a personal poss&siori i t issimply loathsome. I beg, to deolino the honor.” _ *

‘^ u t it is only half a guinea,” she urged.

“ Only half a guinea!” said I. “What an exorbitant sum for the chance of pos­sessing » doll’s-house I”

"But you won’t win it, Mr. Chester; indeed yon need not be afraid. There are thirty-nine chances to one—I havegot forty to get. Please yield. ”■

“Impossible!” said I.“Well, let me put your name do-wn,

and if I can get forty without it I willerase yours; if not-—” *

“i f not,” I groaned, “ah me, what then?” •

So I stayed there a little longer till this matter should be decided, wander­ing about with a Damooles sword hang­ing over my .head. At last the blow fell. A whole'chorus of voices belong­ing to the young Moores and Granvillescame yelling out, "Cousin Ohester has won i t ! Cousin Chester has won the doll’s-house!”

It was true—ludicrously true; I had won it.

In vain 1 reproached. Miss Grahame declared i t was not her fault that X hadbeen destined tq have it. I cuped it as it stood there looking so fresh and clean; I scolded myself for letting my name go down for attending the bazaar at all,

“What in the name of patience can I do with tbe thing?” I asked.

“Well, Cousin James,” said Mrs.Moore, insinuatingly, “I shoxdd hope that question might be answered -with ease. I know my little- Maby would gladly own so splendid a to y ; I badalmost promised to buy it for the dear child’s birth-day next Saturday week. She would Value it doubly from you.” '

“But, my dear Mrs. Moore,” broke in my cousin, Mrs. Granyille; "I am really surprised tp hear you speak of Mary in connection ■with a doll’s-house. She is really far too big a girl to think of playmg vvith toys any longer, and if she still cares for them, I should say the less yon encourage that fancy the better. Now for my little ones, who are so much younger, this present would be far more suitable.”

“Indeed, I do not see that,” said Mrs. Moore. “Of course Cousin James can give it to whom he pleases; but I should •have th ou gh t-”

I did not care to hear more, but slip­ped away unperceived, while the worthymatrons carried on a wordy quarrel asto ■which of their interesting offspring should have my property.' Meanwhile I made up my mind that neither ofthem should—no, not if 1 had to bum or break it instead. Hl-natuxed, grasp­ing women, 1 thought.

At the door’l met Miss Grahame. ♦ “Will you accept the doll’s-house?”

I asked.“I !” said Miss Grahame. "Oh dear,

no. "What good would it be to me? Reep it, Mr. Cheater— keep it seven years, and see if tbe old adage comes true about a useless thing being useful at last. Only let m e remind you it must be removed from these rooms to­night.”

Heve -was a new difficulty. A boy and a barrow could not manage it, it was so big. I nearly went mad whenthey wanted me to convey it on the top of my neat brougham 1

At last Miss Grahame suggested a green-grocer’s cart, which stylish vehi­cle was at last hired to convey it to my rooms for half a crown. Ihnrried there in my carriage to prepare my landladyfor its reception.

■“Mrs. Jones—1—in fact—I want to tell you—I’ve been to a bazaar, and bought—at least won—I meaffthere’s a doll’s-honse coming in a little -while, that must stay here till I go into the country again or do something with it.”

“A what, sir?” said Mrs. Jones.“A doll’s-house-7-fe doll’s-honse .they

called it. Let it stand in rire passage, please.”

Mrs. Jones was m ute; she had evi­dently not taken inmy meaning. Mean­tim e! drove off to a seientifio meeting, and in the intellectual treat there pro­vided forgot all my incubus. But as IrctnmeG an^ entered tke Iionsej xiiipcr~ ceived, I heard voices raised in dispute, and high above them aU Mrs. Jones’s shrill tones.

“Drat this ’ere lumbering doll-house I it takes up all the room. Our passage is small enough without its being crammed, and I ’ve nearly broke my shins tumbling over the wretched thing. A nice toy for an old bachelor like iviTn iI should be ashamed of himself if I was him. I f he was going to get married it would be another thing; only, if so be, he may go out of this house. I won’t have no feminines a-running up and down m y stairs. 1 only lets to single | gentlemm. A doll-house, indeed!”

All this. Spoken with a resounding

sniff between between each sentence, I heard as I hurried to my room.

Daily the dose was repeated, until at laat.Ahe hitherto placid Mrs. Jones came and told me that I mast Lave that ’ere doU--house in my room, she couldn’teuduro it any longer in tke passage ;and, if I wouldn’t have it there, shewas sorry ta have to turn out a gent aS had lodged with her so many years run­ning, but I mast go. That very day she’d lost a lodger through it—(con- fopnd it)—a-litersry gent as hadhp'ard of her rooms being bo quiet; and when he came to see that there doll-house, he says, “Oh, children, e h ! Thank you, my good woman, your room won’t do for me.” And when I says, “It’s notmine, seeing I ’ve no children, but it’s a

kere, aa old!, X mean, amiddle-aged baclielor.*' “Oil, a irma- t ic !—worse and worse,” says h e ; and off he went like a shot. You’ll excuse me, sir; but out of the passage it must go.”

Anything for a quiet life. T had it in my rooms; but it was very much in the way, and it was worse and worse when scientific men came to consult me on matters that required undivided atten­tion. The undisguised contempt with ■which they greeted the doll’s-house and its story nearly drove me mad. Ibegan to loathe i t ; I dreamed df i t ; it haun^d me in my studies:

At last, one day -when I was over at Dorkhampton, I thought I would call on the Moores and ask their advice as to ridding myself of this burden. Giveit to them I would not on any account ;but perhaps they might offer some sensible advice. I was gro'wing des- perate about the thing.

There was no one of the family athome, the servant said; but Miss Gra-Lame XYas in—tyotiIG. I see k’er ?

I hesitated, drew out m y card, and finally ascended into her presence, told her my trouble, and asked her advice. She laughed as she listened to my pit­eous stoiw.

“I t really seems a tenable burden to you, Mr. Ohester; I will give it my se­rious attention, I promise you.”

Then we began to talk on other snb-jects, and I found lier to be^ to my sur-prise, a woman of quiet intellectualpower; what she knew she knew thor­oughly. She had thought -much, read much, couldreasonwellf and was withalfull of girlish spirit and fun, combinedwith lady-like, -winning grace and truecourtesy. I say to my surprise; for among all my studies I never studied a woman’s mind. Now I saw how fair athing i t could be. - --------------- ’

I le ft; but somehow, my call was re­peated—once—twice—again and again.. The new study was interesting to me. I was almost forgetting the first cause which I had consulted MisS Grahame about—the doll’s-house.

One day she sa id : "Mr. Chester, Itliink I have found a capital fate for thedollls-house; give it to tbe Children’sHospital; it would h e a most valuable gift to those little sufferers.”

“I too have found A fate for it,” I re­plied. “I was stupid, not to think of 4t sooner. I have just Jiad it moved to one,of tho many empty rooms of my!Dorlch> zupton. honse, and it now restswitl| you whether its sight shall be apahriul memory to me forever, or a

joy. Miss Grahame, years ago I tbongkt I loved, but she whom I loved was false j and in my wounded pride I closed jay heart thenceforth against all woman* hood and love. I scorned,’ Jdisbelieved, I scouted all belief in woman’s truth, purity and faith; but now—now I love again, Isabella Grahame, is that love to be the means of restoring me to yotith, life, hope?—or is i t to be the ordained punishment of my long years of selfish engrossment and unbelief? You ninst decide form e.”

The sweet eyes opposite minegrave; the lips quivered.

“ M r . O h e s t e r , I — d o y o u xfeftlly m e a n this -?

“D is my futurh life that I d o f M eyou, to do with as you will,” T replied. “If you refuse me I shall never hope again."

“Will you have patience with my womanly shortcomings ?” she s'aid.,

“N o; for patience will not be need- ,ed,” I sa id .. '

“Then—”“Then yon do love me?” said I. “Yes,” Laid Miss Grahame.And then the wilderness of my love

bursif forth and blossomed as the rose.^ tic ^

Pour years after tho events related above I was sitting in my study, busilywriting a paper that I meant to read atthe next meeting of the British Associ­ation, when my Trife entered the room.I knew she must have something espe­cial to say when she thus disturbed me.

“What is it, my love?” I asked. “James, dear, do you not think, as

to-morrow is oar darling’s birth-day, she might have the dolTs-house ? Why should you kee]|||^ locked up so care­fully any Iongei^*when our little one might have so much enjoyment out of it?”

“If’'you think she is pld. euough to .appreoiflte it le t her have It, lea ,” wasmy reply.

My wife went away pleased and satis­fied. We had had several loving altSi?-cations about the doH’s-house, shewishing our little one to have it and 1 wishing to keep it unbroken and un­spoilt, as a happy memorial. Of course my wife had triumphed iu the matter; but then women always do in matters on which they set their mind.

The morrow came, and our darling received the doll’s-house. In the courseof the morning my sweet wife drew me away from the study and took me upinto the nursery to show me a picturethat my eyes can never forget nor myheart cease to cherish. Onr little gold- eu-haired maiden was seated in won­dering awe before the doll’s-honse, that incubus of my baobelorhopd. Her soft cheeks were flushed with delight, her rosy Ups were parted, her blue eyes full of joy ; as she went from room to room of the fairy palace th e gentle mother guided her little fingers to each successivQ beauty, as she once hadguided my cold and criticising eyb.

When aU was examined her mother said: “Now go and thank dear papa, ISSY.”

In a moment the little head was nest­ling on my shoulder, the innocentheartswollen to overflowing with its delight.Happy childish tears swept like Sum­mer rain from the pretty eyes as she clung to me in unspoken thanks for her great birth-day present. AS I pressed her to me and kissed that street face 1 could not help smiling at the thought of how I had once hated the sight of that doll’s-honse. ■

I was glad for tho hundredth timetbat X*did. go to tlie bazaar; and. 4-.lviawas what became of the doll’s-house.

A Bor Lost.Thera is a boy lo s t! He went away

into the forest, and has never been found or heard of since. His parents weep, and hope for the time when he will be found.

There is a boy lost—not from sight— but he is lost unto the world. He sought his companions among the low and dissolute, and became’ like unto his assooiates. He is lost! H is pa­rents weep and -lament, and hope for his return to respeotabilily; but alas ! they hope against hope.

The object of their love and solici­tude is in a whirlpool which carrieshim farther from their sight, and in afew years he will disappear forever.

A boy lo s t! When last seen he was extracting money from thp till of his employer. He was a pretty boy, and much beloved. His grave is, or -vml be, among felons.

A boy lost! He disappeared gradu­ally. I'irst a cigar reflected the light by which he was seen in his do-wnward course. He was next reflected by the glass _ which contained the ^ark ling and intoxicating draught. His .voicewas last heard in the gambling-saloon. He is hopelessly lo s t! Oh, how many boys have been lost I Scarcely a family in the land but mourns a lost boy.

ABOVa THE ARCTIC OISOLB.^he l^arvels of tho Frigid Zone—•Inter*

ceresttns: Hxpeelences In tine Seskreb for the Open Polar Sea—*Sanronuded by Icebergs.

Dr, IsAAO I. Ha3tes, in one, of his lec­tures descriptive of his search for the open polar sea, described the glaoierS and icebergs of Greenland vividly. All the interior of Greenland, the lecturer said, is pue vast field of ice, which grad­ually and imperceptibly moves down­ward toward the sea, the centre moving somewhat more rapidly than the sides,and by the fractures thus created giv­ing to riie ice those fantastic shapeswhich from time immemorial bare been at once the marvel and admiration of explorers. When the glacier reaches the sea it-passes on as before over the inclined plain beneath the surface, un­til so much of it is immersed that it is no longer able to resist the buoyancy of the water, and breaking from the glacier, 'with a roar that can be heard for miles, the iceberg rises to the sur-: face and floats away, sometimes as far as the coast of.Ne-wfoundland, while the glacier continues its ceaseless move­ment downward to form new icebergs from age to age. The masses of ice thus detached of course ■vary in size, but in all hf them there is seven times as much, ice under water as appears above the surface. From the deck ofhis vessel Dr. Hayes once counted as many as 500, some as large as the hall in which he stood, others as,' large as Trinity church, still others ns large as the pify of New York, and yet others twelve limes the size of New York.One in especial arose 317 feet abovethq surface, andFe computed its weight to have been-not less t lW twenty-seven millions of tons.

With regard to the midnight sun, Dr. Hayes related an incident which, had he not actually -witnessed it him­self, might possibly have been received with incredulity by. his audience. As he traveled Northward the days grad-nally lengthened until darkness ceasedaltogether, and the sun was never out of sight. The passengers on board the ship were obliged to create artificialdarkness by drawing curtains aroundthem when they desired to sleep. Thedumb .animals on board were in a piti­ful state .of consternation; the dogs howled unceasingly, and evinced a de­sire to bay the sun. But the most re­markable eflect was created upon anold rooster, the last of their sfiock of fowl, whose life had been spared in consideration of his age and consequent toughness. This venerable bird, day after day, watched the heavens, but found no opportunity of heralding the approach of dawn, by his wonted crow.His mind at last gave way, and onemorning, in full view of the astoundedvoyagers, the unhappy bird flew upon thb Trail of the ship, stretched his necktoward the sun, and giving the merestapology for a crow, sprang: into the ocean and was seen no more.

I n . 1859 Dr. Hayes’ first expeditionsailed i orfchTYord, and breaking thro*the ice in Baffin’s Bay, penetrated asfar as latitude 75 ®, thm, up to that time, being the furthest point ever at­tained by explorers. On the icebergs which he encountered polar bears were very numerous. These animals, he said, are far from being the ferocious monsters which voyag^ers are so fond Ojf depictipg. They aje, iff fact, veiy timid creatures. As aq instance of their cowardioe,’ he related an account of Ms suddenly meeting one in the middle of an arctic night, that is to say, broad dayflgbt. Without a mo­ment’s hesitation the doctor turnedand ran, never stopping until Ms breath was utterly exhausted, he then lookedbehind him to see, as he said, Bow longa lease of life remained for Mm, and to his unspeakable relief saw the bear was running also, but in tbe oppositedirection. -

Pbosbess of m I ast Eiveb Beu>6e.The work on the foundations for the

anchorages for the cables has lately been commenced; the towers on both sides of the river are advancing toward completion. The bridge will be-sup­ported by four cables—two outer ones and two near the middle of the floor­ing.

By a cable is m-eant six thousand wires laid out straight* together and wound round with other wires, the whole composed of galvanized temper­ed cast steel, haying a strength of onehundred and sixty thousand poundsper square inch. The cables have each a diameter of sixteen inches, and go through the tower near the top (to­gether upholding the superstructure of the main span the aggregate weight of wMch, including the cables, wiU be five thousand ions), are carried straight to the anchorage, entering the masonry at an ele-yntion of eighty-two feet above the river, and, after passing into the wall for twenty-five Jeet, form a con­nection -with the chains. »The latter,consisinng of cast steel bars, thirteenfeet, long and ten inches wide by o»eand a half inches th io^ go through the masonry in a curved, line, and are fas­tened to the anchor plates at the base.

The four anchor plates are to be laidside by side at the base of tbe anchor­age, imbedded in the masonry. One of them was lately fijoished.

The plate weighs twenty-three tons, and is of a singular shape. It is sev­enteen feet and a half by sixteen feet over all, with sixteen radial arms ex­tending from a- solid center. In this center piece are eighteen openings through which the links pass, connect­ed with tho four cables spanning theriver, and the wire work suspendedfrom them will weigh not less than five thousand tons. The links are held in each anchor plate by two massive iron pins.

Fuetiho as a Fine Aet.The science of 'society amounts to

little true art unless a certain genius goes with the knowledge. And whowill deny that there is a certain natural gift for social influence, as there is for all beautiful arts? Some persons have a rare social ■witchery, who have not any other form of genius; and somewomen of very moderate abilities inother respects, have an art of pleasing that amounts to fascination.

o fA EDN FOR LIFE.

One of the fleetest runners, most ath­letic hunters and intrepid rangers thatever lived, was WRjniAjr Keenan, of Kentucky.

Some seventy or eighty years ago, St. Olaie led a regularly organized ar­my of two thousand men in the 'West, for the purpose of punishing the nu­merous Indians who had massacred Col­onel Obaweoud, almost axmihilated the forces of General H abuab, and com­mitted innumerable outrages upon thefrontier.

Through gross mismanagement thiscampaign proved far more disastrousand disgraceful to our arms than either of its predecessors. Thedefeat of Gen. Bbaddook, forty years before, was not more complete. The attack, as usual, was made at night. The long grass, bushes and logs seemed ablaze with the savages. "

Instances of individual bravery were not wanting, and the officers mingled in the hottest of the fight in the effort to rally their m en; but the army was Hopelessly “demoralized,** and tkey re­treated turbulentl^ before their uzire> lenting enemies, like a panic-strioken mob._ B was on the day preceding this ac­

tion, that Keenan met with, the adven­ture we propose to narrate. He was attached to a corps, and was universal­ly admitted to be the fleetest runner inthat body. ‘ On the march into the wil­derness he proved this on more than one occasion; and, by common con­sent, he was looked upon as one of the leading spirits of the company. Un-misfcakable signs in tbe VYOods provedto the advancing army that they wereon the eve of battle; and, in order to give notice of the approach of the sav­ages, the light corps was advanced to the front of the first line of the infant­ry. Its sentinel duty was performed so" well that no demonstrations were made by the Indians, although subse­quent facts almost proved that this was the time fixed upon for the assault.

Just as the day was dawning, andobjects were becoming dimly visible, Keenan .turned to. a comrade beside Mm and whispered in an excited under­tone :

“I tell you there, are Injuns in those bushes yonder, and they are creeping up to u s !”

“ Let’s crack awaj^ at ’em, and dig dirt!” suggested Ms companion, show­ing some trepidation. .“I don’t like the looks of the copper-colored imps.”

There were some twenty rangers standing beside Keenan at the time, the rest being considerably in the rear; None except the one referred to ex­pressed any desire to flee, but they were all anxious to secure shelter forthemselves.

“They don’t outnumber us much, added iHeenau, a moment later ;

“so let’s all strike forkiver, and there’sa powerful^ehance for fun.”

As he spoke, the ranger sprang 'for­ward several paces to a spot" where thegrass was mmsually luxuriant^ andtaking quick aim, laid the foremostIndian dead in Li's track. Then, drop­ping flat upon his face, he commenced reloadmg his rifle with rapidity, not doubting for a second tkat "his com­rades would maintain their position immediately behind him and support Mm in the skirmish.

Keenan, however, was mistaken in supposing that not more than twenty- five or tMrty Indians were, before him. Fully ten times that number were ad- ■yaneing; and they now poured forward in such overwhelming force that his companions only escaped with their lives by precipitate flight. Not sus­pecting -this stampede, Keenan was ,ramming the. charge home iu its place,when one flying ranger called o u t:

“Run, Keenan, or you are a dead man.’’

Springing to the ranger sawthe savages witMn a dozen paces of him, while his comrades were over a hundred yards .away, running at the top of their speed.

Not a second was to be lost. Tam­ing on his heel, he strained every mus­cle to its -utmost, and ran as he never had run before, knowing that Ms only safety lay iu reaching his companions. He made directly to the fording place in the creek, which lay between him apd the camp; but, aware of his inten­tions, several of the fleetest made des­perate attempts to “head hirii offi”But bounding forward, several of his extraordinary leaps carried Mm beyond this danger, and he was rapidly ap­proaching the creek, when several In­dians, who had passed him while he was lying in the grass, sprang np dhectly in his front, feeling, no doubt, that thobird was caught in the snare beyondall possibility of escape.

Making an abrupt turn to one side, Keenan darted away like a frightened panther, the whole horde speeding af­ter him. His astonishing fleetness put all his pursuers considerably in the rear, excepting a young chief, whose speed was as remarkable as his own. In the circuit which the ranger waseompeUed to make, tbe race betweenthis chief and, himself was continuedfor fully a quarter of a mile. The dis­tance between them at the start was about Wenty feet, and the most power-fid exertions of the fugitive could notwjden it one inch. Both put forth theirwhole soul in the race, and it would have been a thrilling sight to havewitnessed this -wonderful trial of speed.

The cMef held his tomahawk aloft, as if he were about to throw it, and Keenan kept glancing over his should­er in order to be prepared for it. The terrific rate at which these two ran car­ried them so far in advance of the oth­ers that Keenan had resolved to turn and try the mettle of his enemy in a hand-to-hand conflict, being positive that he could finish him before any of the others could come to his assistance.

Feeling in his belt for his knife, he found it was lo s t ! Keenan said, in re­lating the incident afterward; that this sudden discovery fairly raised his hat from his head. He had unconsciously abated his speed for a moment, so that the Indian was within reach of him ; but the sixock ■which he had received added such an Impetus to his flightthat, for the ffrdt time, he saw that he was gaining grptind. But, like the re­nowned pioneer, Capfc. John Smith, hepaid little heed to' his footsteps untilall at once he found him self in front ofa large tree, wMch had been, blown oyer, the upturned roots being covered ■with brush and othar impediments to the height of ten feet.

Now certain of Ms rictim, the pur­suing Indian nttered an exultant yell.Keenan did not hesitate for a second, but calling all Ms strength into play, he made one mighty effort, and, boundinghigh in the air, went cle.au over tree,limbs and brush, without suffering a scratch. Not pausing for an. instant, he continued his flight, while the in­voluntary yells of amazement from his enemies showed that not one o f them had attempted the feat. . Shortly after,he reached the camp.

Jetfbsson’s Official Delicacy.jEEEEBSON was clear in his great of­

fice, and he lived up to Ms great prin­ciples. Being asked by a neighbor towrite something that should help him into Congress, Jefferson said, “From a very eai^y moment of my life, I deter­mined . never to intermeddle ■with elec­tions by the people, and have invaria­bly adhered to this determination.” Much aa he loved Ms old friend and secretary, WmijiAii Shout, he would not assist_ him to sell the little public stock wMch he possessed, saying, “I would do anything my duty would per­mit ; but were I to advise your agent (who is" himself a stock-dealer) to sell out yours at this or that moment, it would be used as a signal to guide ”speculation.” Invited to share in apromising speculation, h© declined, onthe ground that a public man should preseiye Ms mind free from all possi­ble bias of interest, "When the fugi­tives from the St. Domingo massacre arrived in 1793, destitute and misera­ble, he "wrote to Monbob, “Ne"ver was so deep a tragedy presented to the feel­ings of ihan, ■ I deny the power of the general government to apply money tosuch a purpose, but I deny it with ableeding heart. It, belongs to the State' governments. Pray urge ours to be Hberai”

THE *‘BEAIN LIFT.**

A New filedicitl Discovery—$eHooB Besul( of c.n Experiment—A Distin^ished JBd* itor in Fbctroinis.

[Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer.] FfAivaTiTOiT, O., 1,—Mr.

SooBBY, e’ditor of the Telegraph, of thiscity, is lying in. a dangerous conationto-night from an experiment made upon him by his friends with a patent“brain lift.” The machine is the invention of a man named D obbough. It consists of a metal cap, about eightinches inlength, which fits upon the head, closely em­bracing the frontal, parietal and occip­ital boues. The small end of the tube is about four inches in diameter. To this is adjusted an air pump. Upon ap­plying the pump a vacuum is produced and all pressure being moved from the top of the head the coronal suture opens, the soft part of the^brain rises, and the new and original ideas whichwould otherwise be buried forever "can be be removed with a pair of pincers. The apparatus was designed to aid the editor of the lelegraph, who, of late, has sbown great loss of mental power, and the_ application was made to him while sitting in Ms sanctum to-day.— The operator inadvertently put on too much pressure. The squamous portion of the head caved In gnd the top came off. The patient,was lifted about two feet, aud in setting back into his chair the OS coccyx was driven in, forcing the vertebral through the medulla oblon­gata. . Upon examination it was foundthat the brains of Mr, Scobey had as-sumed the nature of punk, . There was an entire absence of grayish matter.—Mo trace of phosphorus was discovered.Dr. Jas. E. NbaIi, who was called, pre­pared a mixture of coal tar, cabbageleayes and pounded codfish, and afterlifting out the right lobe and a small ^portion of the left, filled'the cavity withthe preparation, The top o f the headwas then covered with sheepskin and an embrocation of cantharides applied.— The patient is now in a comatose state. His last words wore, ‘Uarry the news to Shakespeare.” Strange as i t may seem,he didn’t leave off ehe'wing spruce gum during the painful performance.

"I know some sayit’s 'dilatorious to the nervous cistern,and subscribed cold water ; but I need the fragrant herb, and two cups just equalizes my temperature. Some say, too, that it shortens life, and when tfie "Widow S hoot died, at one hundred and ten, if was remarked that if she hadn’t drank tea she would have lived to be" an old woman. I ’m sure she survi-ved her factories wonderfully., and the tea, I know, did it ,”

“But we are exposed to the pekeodil- lies of the Chinese,” said Dr. Spoonee,"and do not often get, our teas pure,”

“Well, I always hope for the best,” replied Mrs. P ., sipping her cup, with­out remarking the doctor’s pun. “Some­times it is not so good -as others, and then again it is, but the .price is very equable, and I have to give just as much for half a dollar’s worth aa I did before the duties were taken ofij whichwas made such a fuss about iu the pa­pers, I hope your tea suits you, ”

A “puff” for Mr. Geimes in a NewYork paper runs thu'S : "We are pleased to learn that Mr, Wm. _P, Grimes has been appointed to the important and lucrative position of toll-taker on the Bidge turnpike. Mr. Grimes-was born ut iloxbprough while yet quite an in­fant ; and it was Ms fortune to have a step-mother before he passed his child­hood, hence Ms early years were spent in acquiring knowledge and getting spanked. The direction taken by his opening, mind encouraged his father to afford Mm an opportunity to discipline his vigorous intellect "with exercises at a saw-horse. Here his soul expanded add ripened, and for many years he pursued'Ms researches into the remotest domain of his art while separating into proper length thefirewood of the J ones family. Feeling, at a later period, that

rang© of Lis intelleciual "vision "was too limited, he was elected conductor of .the mules of the canal boat J. P .O'JBrien, and there are old scientistsupon the towpath who tell with admi­ration of the original and startling manner in "which Grimes used to twist a mule’s tail and swear when any one of the animals needed encouragement.— Subsequently the study of geology en­gaged his attention, while, at the same time, he dabbled a little in eivii en­gineering. He -would combine the twoby digging away at a bank of earth, ex-amining the substance with a shovel as he placed it upon a wheelbarrow, and then he would wheel it up and add it to the towpath for the purpose of strengthening that promenade. He was called from this position to Ms preseutoffiee. "

A Tanotno.—The Detroit Presshas_ the following: “One of the sanitary police, in going through an alley yes­terday, came to a barn,and as he halted he heard a voice say, ‘take off that coat, young man.’ There was a pause, and about the time the coat was off the father continued : ‘You have needed a tauning this long while, and. I am readyto give it to you ; you’ve been (-whack>going out (whack) nights, and (whack, and a howl) you’ve sassed your(whack) mother, and you've sassed (whack) me, and you’ve been trying to run (whack, jump and howl) the boqse ;but (whack and a yell) you can’t do it.’ There was no more whacking and howling,but the officer didn’t stop, being convinced that Detroit had' at least one old pioneer left.”

Points oft' the Port Bow.One day in Ms garden he observed an

apple falling from its tree,whereupon a conviction flashed suddenly through his mind that the earth was round. Bybreaking the bottom of an egg and mak­ing it Stand on end at the dinner table, he demonstrated that he could sail dueWest and in course of time arrive atnnotliei: hemispbere. He started a lineof emigfranfc packets from Palos,Spam»and landed at; Philadelphia, where he walked up Market street with a loaf of bread under each arm.

To this universal genius are we indebted also for the exploration of the sources of -the Nile,and for an unintelligible but corres­pondingly valuable scientific report of a ■visit to the valley of the Yellowstone. He took-no side in our late unhappy war, but during the Revolution he pen­etrated with a handful of the Garde Mobile into the mountain fastnesses of Minnesota, where he won that splendid series of victories which, beginning ■with Gnilford Court House, terminated in-the glorious storming of Cbapnlte- pee.

the way in wMeh she put to the test her hushand,'s judgment of pictures,and his friends’ foo. She says:

East week Crinkle had T heneb’s great work, for sale atliEAViTr’s, sent up to the honse to be seen by a select number of critics. The man brought it in the afternoon an^ put the frame on one nail, and left me to put the can­vass, in, so I putthe picture behind thepiano, intending to go up and fit thepicture in after tea. I was a little doubtful about the room, too, for i twas covered by French wall paper, allpurple and red tints, aud thought Crin­kle would prefer to hangit down stairs. So I waited till he come,merely leavinga little table under the frame witlx JE&iJS-kin’s and Paine’s works on it handy.Well, about six o’clock home comes mvcritic, bringing Mount and S cott and M artin w ith h im , and n p th ey go straight to look at th e 'FurAer. A« soonas Crinkle got into the room he lit the gas and turned the reflector so that the beams fell directly upon the open frame and pretty much everything else in shadow.

‘®ow’s that?” heaskeded of the oth­ers, who were backed np against the opposite wall.

“Bight, right,” says Mount, who had his Sussex spaniel between h is legs,It being one of Ms lunacies to believe that a Sussex spaniel can enjoy Turn­er’s pictures and "WagnbU’s music if hisinstincts are kindly guided,there beingso much meat in these masters.

Crinkle then joined in. “Now yousee,” said he, “jiiet as I claimed. Thevery boldness completes the ethereality. There being no definite dabbling of detail the scope is limitless-.”

“The water I accept,” adds Mount, “but the sky is beastly.”

“Well, don’t take it to pieces that way,” breaks, in Martin. “Sky, water, bosh. Let’s talk about the picture.**

1 had followed them in unobserved and was standing in the middle of the room, out of sight. But when 1 heard this I codldn't help d^nciog in ecstasy.

“The same old pujrple und reds,” Iheard Mount say. “Just like the ‘Slave SMp.’ Good, but it wants Bus­kin -to explain it.”

“Oh, bother,” adds Crinkle, "the moment Baskin or anybody else can explain it, it isn’t worth explaining.”

All this was so exhilarating to me that I went around that room in u tri­umphant gaiiopade. But it wasaeoes-saiy to subdue my emotions momenta­rily, and s o ' as gravely as I could I walked out-with the canvasin my hands saying: .

“Gentleman, this is- unjust to my wall paper; allow me to put the pie- ture in the frame.”

Mount,i7ho is uick,said, don’t jI prefer it as it is .” But that misera­ble Crinkle went up close to the frameand nosed it all over to satisfy himself, while I broke out in a hymn of victory.
