The Secretary of War has ordered from a Masrachusetts j manufacturer 10,000 patent “trowel bayonets,’* probably for troop* en gaged in mortar practice. A National Firemen’s Convention is to bo held at Baltimore on the 20th proximo, with appropriate exercises, including, doubtless, sc lections from Barns. ihev tar the lamp post* and railings in Montgomery, Alabama, in order to get rid ol the loafers, believing that a tarry loafer will tarry no more. A Brooklyn blind beggar held out his band to a lamp-pcst lor alms, and not receiving any he turned to a barrel of cabbage and re marked: “Will you see a man starve to death ?’* A young man at Evansville coughed up a twenty five cent currency note the other day, and he has gone light back to the boarding house whoso hash ho formerly complained of. “Good morning, gentlemen,” says a book peddler, entering a Bellefontaioe hotel. No one responded. “Beg pardon if I have said too much, I withdraw tbe last expression.” Savannah, Georgia, has a dry-goods clerk who has been horse-whipped by seven differ ent women. He claims to be the much sought after individual alluded to in scripture: “And seven women shall take hold of one man.” A Western man who had been sitting on a wasp, and the wasp had just noticed it, arose partly to his feet, and with pathetic tender ness remarked “Ouch!” jast at the time that the lecturer intended to have the people laugb. The Louisville Courier starts a horticultu ral department with this remark: “If the head of ex-Senator Dorman is too small for a gourd and too large for a cane, as onr correspondent suggests, how will it do for a beet ?’* There is no absolute sin in horse-racing, we learn from a religious paper. Certainly not, but if there is anything provoking it is to ket your money on the wrong horse, and be ob liged to steal a ride home or co on foot. That is where the trouble is. Some naturalist has discovered that the horse-fly is tormented with parasites. This is as it should be. Now, if some one wonld only prove that the mosquito suffers from perpetual toothache, people would feel a re newed confidence in the universal fitness of things. Daring the late war Dr. , entering the hospital surgery, met Faddy Doyle, the or derly, and asked him which he considered the most dangerous of the many cases then m the hospital. “That, sir,” said Paddy, as with an indicative jerk of the thumb, he pointed to where, on the table, lay a case of surgical instruments. Witness the talk overbear.! by an emissary of the American Sunday-School Union when trying to establish a Sabbath-school in the far Southwest: “I know thare is a bug un der the chip, sure as you is born.

THE TJMATOSA WHICH MRS. FORCEPS HAD RIPEN ING ON THE ROOF. From the Danlury Ncwa. Those of out readers acquainted on Monson street will remember that the roof of Mr. Forceps’ saloon adjoins his house and is ap proached by two windows. One of these windows is in Mr. Forceps’ bed-room. On this roof Mrs. Forceps has spread hesitating tomatoes with a view to hastening their ripe ness. Last Wednesday night she put live more with their fellows, making thirty in ail. The Forceps have a niece visiting them—a young lady named Hall, of Thomaston. She has made the acquaintance of many of our young people, and on Monday night several of them got together to give her a serenade. Providing themselves with requisite instru ments, the young men took up a position near this addition we speak of and struck up on the instruments. Mrs. Forceps was first awakened by the music and nudged her hus band. He also awoke. The music was grand— not loud or course, but soft, low and harmo nious. Mr. Forceps was very much pleased, and got up to the window to hear it. Then Mrs. Forceps got up also, and retying her nightcap, stood beside Forceps. “They’re serenading Ellen,” said she. “I know it,” said Forceps.* “Who can they be,” she asked. “I don’t know, I’m sure,” said he; “but I suppose I could find out if I could creep out on the roof and look over.” “Why don’t you ?/’ said she, her curiosity increasing. “I’m afraid they might see me,” he said. “I do’nt think they would,” she said. “They wouldn’t bo looking upon the roof, would they ?" Mr. Forceps thought a moment, and then concluded no one could see him, as the moon had gone into a bank of clouds, and objects were quite dim, \nd then be softly opened the blind and cautiously crawled out on the shingles, completely encased in red flannel under-ciothes and a night cap of the same rich material. Tbe music still continues coming up through tbe night air in waves of ecstatic harmony. Mr. Forceps sat down on the roof and laboriously worked bis way to the eaves. Then he lifted himself up to turn over and look down, and just then he stepped on something soft and yielding, felt his feet give, made a desperate clutch at the shingles, was too iate, gave a piercing shriek, and shot off the root and went revolving and howling in among tho band, followed by the tomatoes, and madly cleaving the air with his red flannel limbs. He struck on his back on his bass viol, and with one leg tore the entrails from Rn accordeon, and with the other knocked all the keys from a silver mounted flute. . The.man who plays the bass viol was driven senseless into a pile of pea brush, and the flate player, with his mouth full ol blood and spliuters, jumped over the fence and fled. What became of tbe others Mr. Forceps does not know, he being too busily engaged in getting on bis feet and into the house to make a critical examination of the field. It is pre sumed the bass-viol man died on the spot, and was surreptitiously removed and buried by his companions, as there was no sigu of him about the premises in the morning. Perhaps the most recherche style in bon nets h the high-peaked crown, turned up on one side. This inode i$ pleasing and effect- ; ive, but is not designed for ail, as the style j will only suit a pretty lace. “Scotch” bon-, nets give promise of being well received by the elite Hat* are worn lower flown on tbe forehe*!* 1 Bar LATH DANIEL A HILL.
