Seeinr a crowd (ormin^. the reporter ' haalennl to vbwe a lot of rHotu idler.* i bad gathered around a Icif^raph pole, • against which leaned a pri --"arr.1 16 1 vrara old.

An effort ! to e*ra|K- allowed her unable to walk without aid. and ahe clutched the near- < c*t railway pillar for rapport. A wild cry escaped her lip*. At that instant i the delight of the spectator* wan rudely 1 interrupted In a gray -haired, powerful- I ly-fratnod workman, who flung theia I roughly Hide and forced his way through i i persecutor* abe rrcogniaed the now j - "Coom. me ia», c«..u wi° larther."

[< As the reporter watched the M range I pair, anil thought of the goal of suicide j > | toward which the feet of the girl were 1 surely tending, he suddenly felt tiiotu-ar j I ' presence of a helping hand. As he I i turn-d .juickly the callow youth behind ' , Liu seemed to sink into a deep, peace- I i ful trance: two ferret eyes, yery close ' j together, foenssed htaringly on the tip < i of the nose, which, like Karl Douglas' ' j drawbridge, "jnst trembledon the rise." i I Tlio mere fact thaAgRue band of this I | thouglitful young man had just been dis- 1 j covered astray in another man'* pocket I I utterly failed to disturb hi* meditations. I and as the reporter caught the stray hand firmly and calleiV the owner's at- ' trntion to' the cireiit*«taner. the act j I seemed vaguely a tjufcuionof the sacred rit» of hospitality. I Rudely aroused fn.l® hi* reverie, the stranger looked at hlra recovered hand ' with surprised reeognhiun. a* if it were i anewlv-born and wholly unjustifiable addition to hi* family circle, but exhibited no vnlgar embarrammcn. Taking < in at a glance the stale detail* of the re- I porter'* costume, he Swerved irrele- I venUv: 1 1 "Yer trousers must 'a^e ben hoff the ] werry pattern has me bold Tuns hat 'ome*.

I ^ | A|Vex»d Qneition. It would l*i n singular outcome if It , I be eventual'* deimiutrttUsl that the I pyramid, /nd obelisks of Egypt are on- ; ' lv massey'of concrete. A writer in the I e!i*k ^u Newi^Irk is compbsed of con- i i cretoA l'"e coarse portions ts-ing pnlvcr- i ; jr—Jf granite. Tim idea that tlio mass : oAo-iit be one rote was first suggested by . i JL ]w-cnllarily- of the hieroglyphics which ! i /Lave the appearance ot being moulded : Instead of being cuL The column was j ; then tested and found to be composed of ; hydraulic cement and powdered granite. . ; li is the opinion of tho correspondent, who has a practical knowledge of ccmcnta, that tho obelisk was moulded in I an upright position, the moulds produc- \ ■ Ing tho hieroglyphics being cut In wood I and forming part of tho retaining box. ] as tho concrete was laid up layer after layer, as rapidly as it set. A recent writer claims that the vast stones of the great pyramid arc blocks of , concrete. If this M true it aeUlo* the j Msed question In mechanics as to the method of raising such enormous stones to the height of the great pyramid. A company rt hod-carricrs by a single journey could carry to the summit sufficient concrete to make one of the immense blocks. Taking this view of tho matter the vast inclined planes which have been constructed in the imagination ' of eBginoers to carry aloft the large

stones would be unnecessary. It is a fact that tha ancient world made a building cement which was as hard and durable as stone. The cement in the structures of ancient Rome sufficiently ; indicates the superior skill of the ancient I mason*. No cement equal to that ol the ancient times has yet been manufaoThe hydraulic cement of ancient times stiffened with ponnded and sifted gran- . itc, would prove very durable under the rahdeee skins of Egypt. In no country once as in Egypt- Rain water is a cor- , rewire force, and ft slowly disintegrates the hardeet rocks. When front is added, the forces of disintegration become no potent that the destruction is very marked. In Egvpt there is neither rain nor frusta, and toe monument* are only worn aw ay by storms or sand. Tho impact of aaml will eventually level the monuments of Egypt, if they are not first buried by it. The pyramids show the waste of the ages, and whether they be built up of concrete or fashioned from granite Mocks, ibev must eventu- ' ally crumble. ' Eanarr.-yi Married in Two Minutes. One of the quickest and most romantic marriage* took place at Napa. CaL. recent!: . T ne parties were Johh A. Chandler, nephew of Each Chandler. , grandson of General John Chandler, and nephew of Commander Frank Chandler, of Portsmouth Navy Yard, and Mi** Mamie Oslerioh, a compact solid little blonde beauty, with expressive. dark Mne eyes and guidon bain' and with a mouth and chin Dur-maAt tempting in the world. She came away a bird from bcr house and home, without a aonl knowing It, and meeting Chandler at the depot threw herself in his arms, raring. • Well. I did it. John, didn't I?" The couple were married in minutes by Judge B. Robinson, nod Tba death of Bishop Peck brlngi to mind an nnecdote. which the Syracuse | AMndonf tells a* follows: Some rear. ago Punsbon. tho famous English Myth - odist, waa to lecture in Albany. N. Y.. ! and Rishoo Pock was railed upon It i introduce the preacher. A large nudi- . core had gathered, when the ponderous , form of the Bishop (be then weighed > mora than 100 pounds) appeared at one and of the stage entrances. Fol- ; . , lowing him cluaclr came l'uasbon. , i ■ Abuse the applause of the audience, as I He two men stepped in eiew, came the words from a roan in. the rear of tha kali: e-Be George, the tug is larger than the ship. '

It Wasn't a Mash. Sorn after we left Meridian, on th across to Yicksburg. a solemn-look i ing* old chap ctunc into the smoker ant ! groaned and sighed and took o: a man terribly distressed, and whei we asked him when- he wcmM to fro i the worst, be replied: i "Gcotbunca, there is a powerful!) 1 i good looking yoiln" woman in lb.- ncx: j i and sho has fallen into the hands m . i a human l.y ens/" ^ ^ j ! "Yes. indeed. He's* wicked-locking wolf in sheep's clothing. If 1 mistak: not he represent* some New Englanc machinery house.

Gentlemen, something ortor lie did!" I We agreed. We all lounged in audi j that She was a •rood-look ing. happy j 1 face.) girl of Ah and we returned aud , j an indignation meeting. After s 1 line display of eloquence and oratory it ! was unanimously agreed that if" the masher got off at Jackson, where w. ; old man should go'in and loll that gi"I reached, and sure enough the human . livens got off and ran into the hotel. | lie was not out of sight « hen we all en- 1 tcred the car. and the philanthropist took a sent beside tho girl and began: ] "My dear young lady, rnv heart is sad — oh! so sad! — for you!

Graves, a jeweler nt Cony, Pa., t on exhibition a timepiece nliich is 9 of a curiosity. Ills a clock - which has been in possession of the 9 Graves family for over fifty rears, and - ' is bclicvod Ire the praveses to lie tho - oldest in Die United States. It was - purchased from a man who brought it i the water, aud probably stole it r | somewhere in Germany, as the worki ^ manship is evidently German. Only tlio I j works and case arc original, the missing ■ pendulum and weight* having been snpf j pliod by it* present owner. It is in . I good running order, ami ticks away the , | minutes and hours probably wish as - j much accuracy in modern Cony as on i I the banks of the Rhine more that four . j centuries ago. The case of tho clock. I I which consists simply of a square face r and eight deep. The whole is ol brass and iron. Over the front is a circular t dial plate on wbieh are engraved the f; hours, and" by removing this the date Is • s exposed, engraved in curious Romans B t figures — 1411. The queer old timepiece t Is, therefore. 472 : cars old. and was I made a good three-quarter- of a ccns tury before this oootinent held a place - on the map of the world. Tne entire - face of the clock was once plated with b gold by the hammering process, for this t was long before electro-plating was i known, snd particles of the precious b metal still adhere lo the bras*. The still

mechanism is in all important particb ulant the same a* that of the ordinary 1 weight clock of to-day. There is no b provision made for a minute hand, howr ever, and only tho hours with their t fractions are noted on the dial. Above' f the wholo is the gong as largo aa the - crown of a man's hat, and on this the old clock still strikes the hours lond ■ enough to attract the attention of - j paascra-by. ^ | ^ r Social Life at Vauar. There is not much formality about , • the social life at Vassar. says a l'ongh- ' koepsio letter io the Harvard Avoid, j • a* ul the students live in one building. 9 There is alwa: s considerable fun and ! ' enjoyment in the. sen lor class, g*-v <*r- ' 1 tain corridor is their exclusive property. ! ' They have a elaraparlor, also sacred io 9 seniors, which tawed es e room for both : ' business and s<^al meetings, and is ' ' finely furnished. Outside of the senior , ' class, the plearanUMt life is the parlor ; r life of the student*. A few girls room ' alone, but the great majority bare par- ! " lore, five girls composing a "family," ! each with ber room, but all having the ' same stody parlor. The nature of the I girls determines whether or not the j " room is really for study. Perhaps this ' • system is conducive to cliques, but it affords a good chance to learn humanity • and to adapt one's self to circumstance... • Then there is the chapter life (neither ; very social or very interesting), the ■ spreads.- much fan. but discouraged by 1 1 the faculty, and class and club life, " -whose interest varies with different j > classes. Vassar is divided into many . ' cliques. It is not possible, it soem* to i me, for .any general sociability to exist, • for "birds of a -feather must flock to- ! gethcr." and yon cannot make them do ! ' otherwise. ! i Bad for Mrs. Giddigad— Young wife: I : "I'm always saying something stupid. Mrs. GidtUgad was here to-day. and . when sho went away abe said; "Now, J I've been here throe times and you , haven't been to see me onoe. I shan't come again until you have called on me." And I blundered out: -Thank .' you.' Waan't it ridimlous?'' Husband i "Not a bit of h. On the contrary, it , was quite aprotxM." 1 A Twinraesr landlord has just been ! forced to pay»700 for kis^iig arGadb • tel. As it is only ten rents to kiss the j prettiest girl at a church fair, this man J financial folly. i

Tidies and Table- Oct en. Handsome table-covers are made ob . alternate squares or 'half squares ol t basket flannel and of vclTetecn; one. 1 made of two shades of brown Is very I pretty, and one of brown and lemon color is particularly effective. The i spread should be lined; it is not nece*- ' I sary that the entire lining should be ill j , expensive material; unbleached factory ' ! cloth will answer provided that ilie far ! i is deep. No border is requisite, hut I ' if one prefers to have il. t hi- should bi " | of velveteen, and the facing of a contrasting color. If the blocks arc neatly 1 put togetliy, no needle-work is ncccs- ! sary lo adhniAhc spread; but of course i this point may ")w determined accord- ' ing to the taste and means of the maker. « A simple but very hsndsomo scarf for a small table Is made by taking three 1 strips of broad ribbon: Lave their cestet ! ' striiw of a contrasting color; for inI stance. If the t wo outer piocc* are of the ; I ombre or shaded ribbons *o much in use i a year or two ago. let the center bo ol ; 1-iitil; basic the rilihon 10 a lining of . ; idesia. or silk, or even tocanton flannel, and where the edges join woak fanrv I - stilobea. A great variety of scarfs could 1-c made in this form, aud be ornamentI ! ed by putting sprays of flowers in embroidery or painting on each point, or a I ' vino or scroll could be worked wiih i good effect on the center stripe. I ' Tidies which can bo washed are always useful. Tho following will be found pretty and inexpensive: Material, I one square of Java canvas and one ball of No. 10 Dexter cotton, white. Commence at a corner; leave an inch and a i half each war for the fringe, buttonhole ! stitch around the corner, taking three t ing stitch, taking two rows of threads. ] Then draw out each way two double - threads - f the canvas. Then make the i ! blocks fourteen doable threads each way, and poll out three double thread* each way. I icing careful not to draw it through the fringe, hut cut it close to ■ the slanting lines. To work the blocks. ■ begin in the middle and pass th.- u.wdle ~i to the" middle each tune, making live ■ j threads on <-aoh side of tlie block all : very pretty-sixed tidy. Draw your Besides tidies "and lauibrequinsfor the i reme or fisli cord, or carpet -warp, very - handsome window lambroqnin* are made ; also, and when puc consider* how short I not appear tiTbcjnucli of a task.' One i industrious woman, who never sits w ill: I . idle hands, has made a licdspread also, I with broad bands of ribbon run in il; It a reallv elegnn- •» of f.-.nrv work,

and ono which will never wrarout. The ; stand scarf* are pretty when crocheted t ' with scarlel or fimeslosia. The lining. ■ | of course, cost* less than the ftihnnv 8outheru Proscription. I In the suburb* of Nalcher. I found a Northern man. He was digging worms j alongside the fence »od getting reaily to ' go fishing, and his wife sat oirthe back sleps smoking a corncob pipe and kicking w ith her bare feet at the chickens man had black patches on the knees of gray pants, a leather bell in place of suspenders, and be chewed pluglobecoo ■ and squirted the juice around with a rigor which would have earned him two dollars a day in any other locality. and the furniture would have been no load at all for a skeleton mule. "Yen, Cm from the North— from 111anoy," he said, as we sat down in tlio *hadc for a talk, "and I made a great mistake in moving down here," "How came you to move?" "Well, some of tho folks back there ; got down on mo because they missed ' some hog*, and it got so hot I concluded 1 "And how do you like tho South?" ! "Not a ML li'* no country for a goahcad man. There's nothing here to 1 rouse a man's ambition to rip and tear and bust thing*. I've accumulated four 1 dogs, three fish poles and a shotgun since striking thi* oountrv, bid 1 feel homesick and disootiraged." ' "How does your wife feel?" "Clear discouraged. Why I'd hardlyknow her to be the same Sarah Jane Baker. She's ran rich! down to a 0

skeleton, and she's got heaps on her mind." ' ' "Say. we've been herebetter'n a year " and not one of th» ladies in Natrhe* r has called on her!" »1 "No!" " "Solemn fact, stranger! When wo ? first came she greased her shoes and ; washed hrr best calico and called on every ladv in town, to show 'em that she wasn t prond norstnek up, but nary one of them has returned the call. They know we are from the North, you see. t and they cut us on that account". 1 tell - ; you, the Northern family has to suffer . down here. They are entirely ortricbciaed from society. Sarah, Sarah Jane!" 1 1 Sarah came around lo our side of the house in answer to his call. 1 reraeni- • ber that I judged she hod on jn*t the o j single garment of a dress, and half the h ; buttons were missing from that. Her s bare feet went spas! spat! spat! anil I r j farther judged that they hadn't been v j washed since th* winter break-up. u j "What you want?" she growled oul" ! "Sav. Sarah, haven't we been ostricb- " i cized here in Natchez 'caus wo' re from e ; the North?" e "Dead right yon are, old man." she 0 replied a* she blew a cloud of smoke s from h* mouth, "but what do we keer? ' We kin .' hold our bead* up and bust V } around fur ail thaL If they don't liko - I us let 'em look t'other way. Come, r ye'd better be off to the river after suekb era.

' Two ancient prophecies of startling • i character are ripe this yea r. One is from the writings of Nostradamus, a 0 j French astrologer of the sixteenth eenI lurv, which may be thus rendered: "In i eighteen hundred aud eighty-three, when : woods ia vernal green shall be. against - misfortune and mischance a larue man 1 shall protect our France." The Conrtc ■ do Cbambord is lame, and may be taken J to raprescnltiio "boiteaux." 'The see1 ond Mood-curdlor in: "When Easter 1 falls in our lady's lap, to England shall ' [ come a great mishap."
