This was what a Division-street woman did Friday uight. Filled the pan at the pump, and then left it standing on the steps of the stoop, while she went into the next house to see how many buttons would be required to go down the front of the redingote. And a mighty important affair that was, to be sure. And there was her husband tearing through tho house in search of a handkerchief, and not finding it, of course. And then ho rushed out into the yard, wondering where on earth that woman could be, and started down the steps without seeing the pan, or ever dreaming that any one could bo so idiotic as to leave it there. Of course he stepped on it I or, at least, that is the supposition, as the neighbors who were brought out by the crash that followed saw a horrified man. and a high dish-pan, and three very demoralized mackerel shooting across the garden, and smashing down the shrubbery. And he was a nice sight, was that unhappy man, when they got him on his feet. There wasn’t a dry thread on him, and his hair was full of bits of mackerel, and one of his shoulders was out of joint, "and his coat was split the whole length of tho back, and ho appeared to bo out of his head. He was carried in tho house by some of the men, and laid ou a bed, while others I went after a doctor, and sixteen women j assembled in the front room, and talked : in whispers about the inscrutable ways ! of Providence, and what a warning this was to people who never looked where the were going.— Danbury News. ..

EOWIIS UIDTHI fflTB 4 BEAD’ ill. ‘Yes, gentlemen,’ resumed Squire Rlowhard, ‘I have had an eventful life, aud have engaged in almost all kinds of lusiucss and every profession, except the ministry, and came darned near be coming a preacher!” ‘That beats the devil!’ said Goody. ‘IIow?’ thundered Blowhard. ‘Why although ho has been known to quote scripture, I never heard of his preaching. 7 ‘Goody, you’re an impertinent ass, and should hold your tongue, and listen rather than talk, iu order that you may learn something.’ Goody skulked to tho rear, and tho Squire proceeded: ‘Yes, gentlemen, I’vo been engaged, at some timo or other, in almost everything except stand ing a ’ ‘l’ll bet you were never an editor,’ said the schoolmaster, (who sometimes contributed to the columns of the vil lage paper, and prided himself on his erudition.) ‘Why do you think so?’ demanded the Squire, in imperious tones. ‘Because,’ modestly answered the schoolmaster, ‘your education being limited aud your reading by no means extensive ’ ‘Education and reading I’ thunder ed the Squire—not waiting to hear tho conclusion of the pedagogue’s remark— ‘what in the dickens.haa that gotjto do with it ? You are behind the age. — Any body who can buy an old press and two or three founts of type can run a newspaper now-a-days.’ ‘Very well, I believe that he may get along for a time, but the people will soou fiud him out.’ ‘Suppose they do —he can then go somewhere else.’ ‘Yes, yes—that’s quite common. But did you ever edit a newspaper ?’ ‘Of course I did; and you exhibit your profound ignorance by asking the question. I thought every well inform ed gentleman was perfectly cognizant of the fact.’ ‘The Squire’s on his high horse, this morning, and trying to talk big,’ whis pered a co m try man. ‘Yes, gentlemen,’ resumed the Squire, ‘one o r the most unfortunate events of my life grew out of iny connection with tho press. ‘How was that ?’ chimed iu a half dozen voices at once—all knowing that lie was ready to spin a yarn. ‘lt happened in this wise: I was running a weekly paper in a flourishing town out West —areal live newspaper —I wouldn’t have any tiling to do with any other sort —it was before the days of railroads, telegraphs, hoop shirts, bustles, paniers, and all that darned foolishness, aud when -men mado and drank honest corn spirits without wateriog it. Bourbon had never been heard of, and men never had delirium tremens. It was my pride to got up all the sensational news I could, and if nothing local actually occurred, I could always draw upoo my imagination and announce the drowning of an old woniaD, the arrival of a chiokcn wagon, or something of the sort. By dint of such paragraphs and puffs of every body aud every thing, from a hotel to a poanut stand, I managed to get up a consider able showing of local matter. ‘There was another paper published in the place, which, without making any noiso over it, pursued the even tenor of its ways, aud frequently got out news ahead of mo, and had the knack of making people believe its statements were reliable—consequently, when it puffed any body or any thing, I was mortified to find that the people, whom I always regarded as a set of | stupid asses, placed as much confidence | in it as auything outside of the Bible. I TWO DOIiLARS A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Of course, I knew they were asses, but dared not tell them so. ‘This was the state of things existing when the incident I am about to relate occurred. It was my ‘publication day’ —Thursday. My force was weak and I had boon delayed in getting to press -—in consequence of which, it was after midnight when I got through making up tho mails. Evoiy body left the of fico before me, aud when I got through, I steered homeward—it being too late to get iny accustomed drink. It was bitter cold and a fierce nor west or blow ing. Hurrying along the street, through the darkness and gloom, I presently stumbled over something. Stooping to see what it was, I was horrified to find the body of a man frozen hard and stiff.’ ‘Didn’t you run, Squire ?’ asked Bill Jones. ‘Run, thunder ! Never having been afraid of living man, I would hardly run from a dead one. lustead of run ning, I stopped to meditate. I was in a beautiful fix ! Every sheet of my paper printed and deposited in tho post office, all the printers gone home, so that I could not issue an oxtra—and I knew that the other paper, which would be issued at noon ucst day, would con tain all tho particulars, headed with glaring capitals. All this was gall and wormwood to my sensitive nature.— But what should I do? A brilliant idea seized me—l was always fertile iu expedients—Gen. Jackson gave me credit for that at the battle of the Horse Shoe.’ ‘Yes, yes, no doubt he did,’remarked the schoolmaster, ‘but what become of tho dead man ?’ ‘l’m coming to that now. After re flection, I was satisfied that the only way to head off iny competitor was to conceaj tho dead body until ready for my next issue. Tho weather being iu tensely eold, favored this plan, as the body would leep. Recollecting a va cant house about a hundred yards dis tant, I determined to deposit it in the cellar. a man of action, I shouldered it at once, and hurried along the street. There was some difficulty in openig the door, and just as it yield ed to my efforts, two stalwart Irish po liceman seized me, thinking I was car rying a dead hog.. They soon ascer-> tained that it was iho body of a man —but no amount of explanation, affir mation, oaths and prayers could con vince them I bad not killed him. I was most cruelly locked up, without being permitted to sco my family or consult with a lawyer. I did not have to wait long for morning, however. The few hours intervening were employed in better reflections, but that which goaded me almost to madness was the thought that my cotemporary would be able to get up ten times more sensa tion over my arrest, imprisoment and examination than I ever could have made out of the dead man, even if I had succeeded in my little trick. ‘When brought before Jhe examining court, tho two Irishmen wero tho only witnesses. Their testimony seemed to be conclusive on the mind of tho magis trate. He wouldn’t talk about bail, and I had to go to jail. As Court was coming on iu a short time, I did not mind this much, especially as I thought thero would bo no difficulty about. my acquittal. The Irish policomcn again appeared as witnesses, and I was per mitted to make my statement, j%st as a defendent may now do in this State, without being sworn. Humiliating as it was, I stated the facts fairly and truthfully. My counsel made au able argument in my defence, and I consid ered myself secure until the d—d So licitor tore my statonient all to pieces —he discredited it by proving by the paper maker from whom I bought pa per, by postmasters and every body else, that I did not have half or even quar -1 ter the circulation I claimed. I saw tho thing was very damaging to my oase, and was not much surprised when the jury returned a verdict of ‘Guilty,’ ! hut reoumnending me to tho mercy of ; the Court. Tho Judge was a tender i hearted, humane man, ntid deferred passing sentendf until tho end of the term. In tho meantime, my friends got up a petitiou and 1 wrote a moving letter to the Governor, with whom I had often played poker, and who, like Bullock, was very oMig’ng. Before Court adjourned, tho messenger return ed with a pardon—so that, had it not been for Executive leniency I should have been sent to the Penitentiary as a punishment for my industry in getting up stunning locals. ‘What became of your paper ?’ ‘I sold out in disgust. I knew it was useless to remain there any longer, as I should never hear tho end of my adventure with a dead man. Moving into another State, 1 set up as a root doctor.’ * ‘Tell us how you succeeded.’ ‘l’m too dry now.’ ‘Well, then, let’s all irrigate,’ and they turned tho corner in search of one of their accustomed haunts. HOW GUIVI’OWDIIIt IS IQADE. How do you thing you would like to live fearing every moment to be blown up ; none daring to speak aloud to jar anything, for fear ofstartingan explosion that would send you in an instant to the other world ? You don’t think it would be very pleasant ? Well, it isu’t, yet hundreds of men live in just that state —work, receive pay, and live year after year in the very sight of death as it were —all, tiiat the world may. have gunpowder. — You can easily guess these inen go about quietly and never laugh. You know tha‘ gunpowder is very dangerous in a gun or near a fire, but perhaps you don’t know that it is equal ly dangerous all though the process of making. A powder mill is a fearful place to visit, and strangers arc very sldom allowed to go into one. They aro built far from any town, in the woods, and eacli branch of tho work is done in a separate building. These houses aro quite a distance from each other, so that if one blows up it won’t blow up the rest. Thou the lower parts of the building aro made very strong, while the roofs aro very lightty set on, so that if it explodes only the roof wi.y suffer. But in spito of every care some times a whole settlement of tho powder mills will go off almost in an instant, and every vestige of the toil of years will bo swept away in a second. But, though you feel like holding your breath to look at it, it is really a very interesting process to sec*. It is made, perhaps you know, of charcoal, salt-petrc, and brimstone. Each of these articles are prepared in a hoi. by itself, but the house whoro they are mixed is the first terrible one. In this building is an immense millstone, roll ing round and round in an iron bed, and under the stone are put the three fearful ingredients of gun-powder. They are thoroughly mixed and ground toge ther. This is a very dangerous opera tion, bocause if the stones come in con tact with its iron bed it is very apt to strike lire, and the merest suspicion of a spark would set off tho whole. The materials are spread three or four inches in the bed; the wheel, which goes by water power, is started, and every man leaves the place. The door is shut, and the machinery is left to do its ter rible work alone. When it has run long enough, the mill is stopped, and the men coinc back. This operation leaves the powder iu hard lumps or cakes. Tho next house is where tho cakes aro broken into grains, and of course is quite as dangerous as the last one. But the men can’t go away from this, they aro obliged to attend to it every mo ment, and you may be sure not a laugh or a joke is ever heard within its walls.

We have to record tw* successes this week. In Essen,a strong hold of Roman influence, a congregation is established and a priest found Divine scrvico is to be begun forthwith in the Protestant Church of St Paul, and Herr Hoffmann (another new name), is elected piarrer for five years. Then, in Breslau, service is also begun in tho Church of St. Bernard, granted by th* town council. Notwithstanding th* carefully diffused declaration on th* part of the clergy, that all who attend* ed this scrvico were ipso facto excommu nicated ; the church has been filled to overflowing. The third Old Catholic Congress is fixed for September 12th and 14tb, at Constance. The order of proceeding is the same as last year at Cologne—public meetings and session* i delegates with the invited guests.” — A Midsummer-Night Horror.—Jot quin Miller relates a story horrible enough to satisfy the most ardent lover of sensation horrors. It is about a min ing camp in a lonely district in Cali fornia, where the scurvy broke. They had no way of treating the afflicted ones, when one of the miners happened to re member a cure he had fbrmoly heard of, called the “earth cure.” . So they dug six deep pits in the shadow of ft huge pine, and buried the patients up to the chin, having first taken of all their clothes. The earth was shovelled back and closely patted down abovfr' them, and tjie six heads in the moon light had a ghastly look, “like men rift ing iu resurveotion to meet the judg ment.” The buried men, likft all hard working miners, soon dosed off into a deep', stupor-like sleep. Their compan ions, who were watching them, grew dozy too, and went to their bods, and! slept soundly till morning, when they, went to see how their companions wer* • getting on.
