ONE NIGHT OF HORROR.
Much loss and annoyance might be
avoided in this world by reasonable care .
in securing our property in such away 1
that it would be perfectly safe, and, while 1
such precautions do not cost much, the 1
neglect may be productive to us of serious
loss. Row often are we led to regret the
oversight of some trifling duty in this
direction, the performance of which
would have saved us many and bitter re
grets
Many years ago, when I was a student
in the law office of Bingham & Jenkins,
there were two of us, young law cubs,
who not only labored in the office days
but eamped in a back room adjoining du
ring the night. This room was one of
the suite to which the offices belonged
So we had to do up our bed lounge day
times, and put our blankets, etc., in '
some place where they would be out of 1
the way. Folding beds that look like an f
upright piano were not very common '
then, so we had to do the best we could. 1
I favored pultiog the blmkets in one end 1
of the fire-proof vault days, so tl at they 1
would be out of sight, but more especial- 1
ly becase they would be perl ctly silo 1
there in case of fire. It the city should 1
burn down and everybody bo left home
less and bedless, I maintained that we
could go io our fite-proof vault when it
got cool and take our bed out in good or
tier, while others looked on and envied
our forethought.
Bob, my room mate, agreed to this,
and, as he always made up the bed, 1
didn't try to learn the combination of the
lock on the vault door. My duties con
sisted in keeping up the fire and sweep
ing the room on legal holidays if it need
ed it. Sometimes holidays came so close
together that, »» would let them go by
without celebra ing in the above manner.
Every evening Bob would go to the
vault about ten or eleven o'clock, reverse
the nickul knob on the lock three or four
times to the left, then two or three tines
to the right, stopping on a certain num
ber, then back three or four times to the
left, and so on till lie handle lurried, its
bolts shot back and the luor would -wing
open. Then he would got the bedding
and make up our lowly couch. After
that we would frolic around in the lamp
light, shedding our clothes ns we chased
each other through the other rooms, and
when we got tired wo would sing some
little simple song that would reduce the
rent for half a mile in every direction.
Then we woul 1 go to sleep.
One day Bob had to go away for a
week between Christmas and New Year’s
so I got him to tell me the combination
of the vault. At the u.-ual hour that
night I got sleepy and lonesome, and a
the fires had all gone out, 1 thought I
woul I make up the bed and retire. It
was about the coldest night of that ex
tremely cold winter in a very cold state.
I took the lamp and began On the combi
natijn. I got to sixty-six on the second
turn and carelessly allowed the knob to
move a little too fur. Then I went hack
to place of beginning and reversed the
thing back and forth till I got to whole
the lock is supposed to click and the door
swing open, but it did not do so. A wild
feeling of doubt and uncertainty came
over me, and my fingers got still with the
great wealth of cold that now pervaded
(he apartments. I went through it again,
slowly ami carefully, warming my hand
eve ry now and then in my capaciou
mouth. I did this till iho clock in the
steeple struck 12. Then I put on my
overcoat, kicked the vault door with all
my remaining strength, and went to the
Central Hotel. Tho clerk woke up and
told roe that as it was Christmas time
the house was plumb full, and 1 could
not be acoommodated. 1 went to tho
Waltman House, and they told me tl o
“Y ule tide yarn" there, and ejected me
from the place. It was then 1 o'clock
A. M.
1 went back to the office, lit the gas,
and began again on tho combination. I
know that there were only three or four
million permutation* and combinations
of numbers, and so 1 thought 1 would
run through them all. It wouldn't tike
long, and one o’them of course would te
the right one- Winding up the dial on
a fireproof sarcophagus all night with the
thermometer 45degrees below is exciting,
but the excitement does not repay one
for the nervous exhaustion and resultant
f'-tlgue. Well, 1 screwed tint North
American do-fu.-.ny around to right and
left as long as I can remember, and when
the senicr partner came down at 9 o'clock
he said I sit there with a small lamp in i
tty hand mechanically turning the knob
Lack and forth and yearning for my bed
clothes.
W hen we Opened the vault we sou-d |
the bedding in there all right and perfect- |
ly safe. 1 never saw anything so safe us .
that bedding was. It seemed to me that (
it was almost too safe. When a thing is ,
so secure that you ean’t get it you seif, ,
you naturally think that the matter of .
security can be overdone. j
The foregoing incident, as I give it, is
I absolutely and entirely true, with oneex-
I ception. Bob was the hero of the whole
I thing instead of myself. I told him 1
was going to give it to the public, and he
i consented on condition that 1 would make
myself the victim, and ha was so sen.-i
live about it that 1 put it that way. Peo
i pie can laugh at me all they please. I
I am used to it, and I don’t care.

LIBERTY ENLIGHTENING THE
WORLD.
This new Wonder of the World, which
is now being loaded on the French trans
port Isere for shipment to this country,
is the largest statue in the world. Some
idea of its magnitude tnav be obtained
from the fact that forty persons found
standing room within the head. A six
foot man standing nn the level of the lips
only just reached the evehrow. Wh le
workmen were employed on the crown of
her head they seemed to be making a
huge sugar caldron, and they jumped
wi'h ea-e in and out the tip of the nose.
Fifteen people n ight sit round the flame
of-.he torch, which elevation can be
reached by a spiral staircase witbin the
outstretched arm.
mi T i n •» ir • ■ •
The London Dait>/ Ne'.ru. in sneaking
of it, says: “It is out and away the larg
est statue of modern times. The Colos
sus of Rhodes was nothing to it. It could
carry the ‘Bravari’t’or the ‘Hermann' in
its arms. It towers to the sk’e* from
the yard of the Rue de Ch izelles, where
it has been eight, years in construction,
and ths view from its coronet sweeps
rtlear of the six-story houses and beyond
the walls of Paris."
The weight nf this stupendous statue
is 440 000 pounds, of which 176.000
pounds are coppet and the remainder
wrong!)'-iron. It is expected to arrive
in New York about the 25'h nf May,
where it will he erected on Brdlne's I--
land, this being the location selected for
it by Gen. W. T Sherman, who was ap
pointed by the President to run' o the se
lection. When placed in position it will
loom up 305 feet above tide-water, the
height of the statue being 151 2 feet,
that of the pedestal 91 feet, and founda
tion 52 10 feet.
This imposing statue, higher than the
enormous tower- of the great Brooklyn
Bridge or the steeple of Trinity Church,
which is the loftiest in the city of New-
York, —higher, in fact, than ary of the
Colossal statues of antiquity,—by its rare
artistic proportions, a- well as by its stu
pendous dimensions, will add another to
the Wonders of the World. A word
should to said c.f its artistic merit. The
po-e, stride, and gesture, with its classic
fuco, are pronounced perfect; the drapery
is Loth ma—ive and fine, ami in some
parts is us delicate and silky in effect as
if wrought with a fine chisel on the
-ma lest scale.
The cmception and execution of this
great work are duu to the ire it French
Colptor, M. Bartholdi, who has devoted
eight years of his life and mo-t of his for
tune to this great work, and whose gen
erous impulses, wliich must tie on a scale
commensurate wytlt this noble worn,
prompted him to make such a gift to the
United States. Tho committee in charge
of the construction of the base and pedes
tal fi r lite reception of this great work
are in want of funds for its completion,
and have prepared a miniature statuette,
an exact counterpart of tho original, six
■ riches in height, the figure being made
of bronze, the pedestal of nickel silver,
which they are now delivering to sub
scribers throughout the Unite 1 States
fur the small sum of $1 each. Aside
frem its being a lasting souvenir cf thia
colossal statue, it will o nameut our
homes and bcur testimony that we have

the grandest works of modern times. A'l

A MAN- WHO SUFFERED MENTAL AND
PHYSICAL AGONY EIGHT YEARS PRO- |
CLAIMS HIS HAPPINESS.
Mental agony is dreadful, but when that I
an J physical ailment co nbine, it is simply I
terrible. Such was (lie condition of Geo.
W. Frampton, of Huntingdon, W. Va., I
for eight years. He was a sufferer of ne- !
erases—that is. the leg bone at the ankle i
was inflamed and mortified, which caused
running sores. He says: •• Pieces of bone
the size of a silver three cent piece came
out of the sores on my leg. The discharge
from the sores was almost continual, and I
I was unable lo walk. For eight years I
have been doctoring. I had been under
the treatment of a physician at Newport,
Ky . for ayear; another at Burlington, O .
attended me for three years, and a doctor
here at Huntingdon worked with me for
a long time. None of them did me anv
good, and they all finally said mv case
was hopeless. A few months ago I com
menced trying Pkrusa, and now I am
well. I can walk as good as anvboJv,
and have perfect use of my limbs."
Mr Alf. Laisk, Woo-ter, Ohio, writes:
” Dr. Hartman, Columbus, O. I have
been a great sufferer from that dreaded
disease, chronic catarrh of the stomach.
I have thoroughly tried your Manalin,
and it has done me more good ten fold
than all the doctors’ prescriptions, and I
have u-ed legions of them.
Mr. Edgar Harte, Smeltzer P O , Elk
county. Pa., writes: ’• I have bought sev-
i erst bottles of your Perixv, and find it
, I to be of great benefit. I also gave it to
: some of my friends; they experienced
I the same result.”
Mr, L R. Wotlen, 4; and 47 Ross
street. Pittsburgh, Pa, writes: “lamtak
-1 ! mg I’ercsa with good results, and can
| i highly recommend it to all. I have ap
; phed at the different drug stores for one
’■ of your books. They claim they have
j none on hand at present. Please’do me
I the favor to send me one.”
1 W. W. Rus.ell. druggist. Canonsburg,
. Pa., writes: I hand e your medicine,
PeRCXA. I have-old immense quantities
> of it, and consider it a staple article. I
H have a great man v customers who think
I there is no m dicine like it for a tonic or
1 I i>r b hiding up the system. I recom
. mend it as a sate and reliable remedy.”
Calista Fishel, Malvern, Ohio, writes :

of Pkrvxv and Mvxaux to anv one
