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. Hudson, Wis., April 7, Bill Nye. In Erie. Penn., Mrs. Varley, aged 65, is very anxious to appear young.

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.
