One of their engine houses has been furnished with a fine piano. —Thirteen Massachusetts sportsmen recently caught 40,692 pounds of fish in eight hours. —The latest Masonic statistics report there are 1,800,000 brethren of the mys tic tie in the world, and S,QQO lodges, scattered all over the world—in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, Oceanica and the Indian Archipelago. The Murfreesboro’ Monitor mentions the singular fact that on Monday night, the 31st ult., three men, one in Murfrees boro’, one in Shelbyville and the third in Nashville, committed suicide, about the same hour, by shooting themselves, and strange to say not one of them assigned any cause (or the rash act. —lt is observed that on Fridays the omnibus travel of Paris diminishes in proportion of twenty-five per cent., so strong is the superstitious avoidance of doing anything that can be helped on that “unlucky” day. It is also further remarked, that when Friday happens to fall on the 13th of the month, the om. nibus receipts decrease at the rate of fifty per cent. —A New York milkman recently had his milk forcibly analyzed by his cus tomers. The fifty gallons he furnished were found to be three parts of water to one of milk, to which xvas added starch to give the mixture sufficient thickness, grease to make it oleaginous, and a small portion of roasted sugar to give it a rich, yellow creamy color. —The accommodation for reporters in the preseut British houses ot Parlia ment leaves nothing to be desired. In addition to the spacious galleries fitted up for them in both houses, they have five well-furnished apartments in which -to transcribe their noteg, aod also a re' freshment room and smoking room. In the old houses they had to stand up and write on the crowns of their hats, and were even then lucky if they escaped arrest the next day. —An immense work is at present under way at the entrance of the Paris terminus of the Western Railway, in the Rue St. Lazarre. It is an iron roof constructed over the tbirty-oue lines of rails which start from that point, and which was formerly called the “Placede Europe,” under which the trains passed through two stone tunnels. The tun nels have been removed, and, a road will be constructed over the iron roof. —A curious apparatus for propelling balloons through the air has been de vised by Mr. Butler, one of the members of the Council of the new Aeronautical Society in London. It consists of a pair of wjjigs, operated from the car of the balloon, whose downward blow is calcu lated to strike with a force exceeding forty pounds, a power equivalent to an ascensive force of one thousand cubic feet of carburetted hydrogen. The ac tion required is somewhat similar to that of rowing. —The stables of the St. Louis Fifth street Rail Road were burned on Satur day at noon. There were one hundred and seventy head of horses and mules in the stable, only thirty of which were rescued. Sixteen cars and all the har ness and forage were also burned. The fire is supposed to be the work of an in cendiary, and a man has been arrested on suspicion. The loss on the building and stock will reach $50,000, on which there is $20,000 insurance. —Killing comes natural in Ireland, for half the places begin with Kill. There is Killboy (for all Irishmen are called boy) ; and what is still more un gallant, there is Killbride ; Killbaron, after the landlords ; Killbarrack, after the English soldiers; Killcrew, for the navy ; Kijlbritain, for the English pro prietors ; Killcool, for deliberate mur der ; Killmore, if that’s not enough i and last, though not least, Killpatrick. —The following, taken from the New York World, is a significant “sign of the times:” “This morning the gallery of the House directly in front of the Speaker’s chair, was occupied by 134 of the blackest contrabands ever raised in Virginia. Strange to say there was not a white person among them. They seemed highly pleased with their privi lege of appropriating such a larger space of the gallery of the House of Representatives exclusively to them, selves.” Wjell, why not ? It would be eutirely appropriate if no white people were ever again seen in ..that gallery— nothing, in short, but negroes and Jacobins.— Lynchburg ( Vd.) News. —Boston uses 15,733 gallons of milk a day, and her milk bill for a year is very near $2,000,000. Fully 10,000 cows are milked for the Boston market alone, and a good deal of water finds Its way into milk cans. There is an inspector of milk, whose duty it is to look after its purity, and last year he prosecuted sixteen persons for “extend ing” their milk. The amount of water that these persons added ranged from 25 to 50 per cent. —James Stephens, the Head Centre, or rather, C. O. I. R. (Chief Organizer of the Irish Republic), as he signs his name, has arrived in New York. He is holding his court at the Metropolitan Hotel. He has had a great ovation, such as New York alone is in the habit of bestowing upon her distinguished gnests. Mr. S. is sanguine of success in the “good -cause,”—says that a fight must come on this year, and if the Fen ians will but be true to their [the Irish] country, success must be theirs. He did not approve of O'Mahoney’s great expedition to Campo Bello, accepted his resignation, at the same time hauling him over the coals for his impudence. —Under whose care soever a child is put to be taught during the tender aud flexible years of his life, this is certain, it should be one who thinks Latin and languages the least part of education ; one who, knowing how much virtue and a well-tempered soul is to be preferred to any sort of learning or language, makes it his chief business to form the mind of his scholars, and give that a right disposition; which, if once got, though all the rest should be neglected, would, in due time, produce all the rest; and which, if it be not got, and settled so as to keep out ill and vicious habits, languages, and sciences, all the other ac vurupllshmetita of education will be to no purpose, but to make the worse or more dangerous man.
