ELIZABETH lIEACHEM.
Lib Meachen (as she iz Familarly
called in the township whare she
resides) iz one ov the rarest gems
ov extenuated mortality that has
ever been mi blessed luk teu en
kounter.
She iz not so old az Bascomb bi
about two years being about 194
years old. Next ti> Lot’s wife she
iz the best preserved woman the
world kontains. .
I reached her place ov residence
early in the morning, and in one
minnit after i told her mi buzngss
her tongue had a phull hed ov
steam on, and for three hours it run
like a-stream ov quicksilver down
an inklined plain.
1 asked her a thousand questions
at least, but not .'one of them did
she nnsiyer, but kept talking all
the time faster than Pochahontas
kaif pace down hill ten saddle.
Az near as i could find out she
had lived 194 years simply bekauze
she coudn’t die without outing
short one ov her storys.
I asked her ten sho me her tongue
-—I wanted to sec if that member
waz badly worn : but she couldon’t
'"stop it long enuff teusho it.
This woman haz reached her
enormous age without eny parti
kujar habits.
She haze, outlived every body she
haz kum akrost, so far, -by out
talking them
The ouly subject that .1 cold for a
moment kart the flood over her lan
guage with, waz the fashions ; but
this was a subyfeet upon whitouh i
unfortunately warx’t mutch.
Asa last hope ov drawing her
out upon sum fakts azteu her mode
ov life, i tutehed upon that all-ab
sorbing topick teu both- old and
yung—l refer now teu matrimony.
Her fust husband it seemed, waz
a carpenter, and, teu use*her own
words, “ waz too lqzy, teu talk, or
teu listen while she talked, and so
he died.”
Her eekond husband was a pret
ty good talker but a poor listener,
and, tharefore he died.
Her third husband waz a deff
and d'um man, and, az she remark
ed, u either he or she had got teu
die, and the man died.”
Iter fourth husband undertook to
'out talk her, and died early.
In this way she went on describ
ing her husbands, 12 in all.-
Az i roze ten depart i sed teu her,
solemnly; . .
“ Elizabeth Meachem, yu have
heen'mnteii fuarrid, and mutch an

life do yu think tire marrid state

EitOiig by the Card.
A man from a back county de
termined to spend a few weeks in
Mew York, for the purpose of see
ing all the sights ; and in order . to
strike liis , acquaintances at home
with a proper idea of the greatness
of his visit, lie took lodging at the
As tor House.
When lie was ushered iuto dinner
the, first day, he was surpised at the
dumber of people who sat down, as
well as the vaSt-ness of the dining
rootn> . lie was-equally surprised to
see tliat each man had a printed ac-.
count of his dinner before him, and
thgt each one, as ho thought, ate
according to the directions. He
was quite hungry—as well he might
be after waiting three hours over
his time—so he attacked the head -
of the bill with vigor, and ate down
as far as lie could, but soon came to
a stand. Just then the gentleman
on his right requested th# waiter
to bring him some oyster pie;
which he heard, and instantly refer
red to liis kst to see where it was.
“What !” exclaimed he with- as
tonishment, turning to bis neighbor,
“are you all the way down there ?
Why, I have onb? got to boast
beef, and I feel already as if I
should burst 1” >
A Marshall, lowa, paper says
this is true: “A small child of
.Mr. John House was lying at the
.point of death \vhen suddenly he
revived. Directly after the child
revived J- hash of lightning passed
through the room, and wAn iinmedi
atelyfoTTowed* “by a. whitish object,
about the size and shape of a ddve
with expanded wings It moved
to the bed on which the child was
lying, and for a momentliovered
Over the child aud then disappear
ed. In about fifteeu minutes the
child expired.
Josh Billings says : ‘There iz
one thing about a that looks
like wisdom—they don’t kackle
much until after they have laid
their egg. Sum folks are always
a bragging and a kackiing what
they are going to do beforehand.’
UniiPowder.
Sow it is Made—A House Where
Men Never Laugh.
flow do yon think you would
like to live, fearing every moment
to be blown up —not daring to
speak load, or jar anything, for
fear of starting an explosion that
would send yoy in an instaut to the
other world ?
You.don’t think it would be very
pleasant ? Well, it isn’t; yet hun
dreds of men live j ust in that state —
work, receive p.ay, and live, year
after year, in the very sight of
death, all that the world may have
gun powder.
You can easily guess- why those
men go about quietly, and never
laugh.
You know that gun powder is
very dangerous in a gun, or near
a fire, but pei’haps you don’t know
that it is equally dangerous all
through the process of making.
A powder-mill is a fearful place to
visit, and strangers are very seldom
allowed to'go into one. They are
built far from any town, in . the
woods, and each branch of' the
work is done in a separate, building.
These houses are quite a distance
from'each other, so that if one blows
up it won’t blow up the rest. Then
the lower parts of the building * are
made very strong, while the roofs
are very lightly set on, so that if it
explodes only the roof will suil'er.
But in spite of every care, some
times a whole settlement of the
powder-mills will go off almost in
an instant,' and every vestige of the
toil of years will be swept away in
a few seconds.
But though you feel like holding
your breath to look at it, it is really
a very interesting process to see
It is made, perhaps you know, of
charcoal, saltpetre and brimstone.
Each of these articlesis prepared in
a house by itself ; but the house
where they are mixed is the first
terrible one. In this building is an
immense millstone, rolling round iti
an iron bed, and under the «tone
are put the three fearful ingredients
of gunpowder. There they are
thoroughly mixed and to
gether. This is a very dangerous op
eration, because if the stone comes
in contact with its iron bed, it is
very apt to strike fire, and the mer
.est suspicion of a spark would set
off the whole. The' materials are
spread three or four inches thick in
the bed ; the wheel goes by water
power,is started, and 'every man
leaves tlie place. The door is shut
and'machinery left to do the terri
ble work alone. When'it has run
long enough the mill is-stopped and
the men come back. This oppora*.
tion -leaves the powder in hard
lumps or cakes. •
The next house is where the cakes
are broken into grains, and; of
.course, is-quite as' dangerous as the
l!tst one. But the men can’t go
away from this ; they are obliged to
attend to it every moment, and you
may be sure no laugh or joke is ev
er‘heard within its walls. Every
one Who goes in has to take off liis
boots and put on rubbers, because
one grain of the dangerous powder,
crushed by the boot, would explode
the whole in an instant.
The'floor of this house is conven
ed with leather, and is made per
.fectly black by the.'dust -of the
gunpowder. ."It contains a set ol
sieves, each one smaller than the
last, through which the powder is
sifted ; and an immense ground and
laboring mill, where it - is ground
up, while men shovel it in with
wooden shovels. The machinery
makes a great deal of noise, but
the men are silent, as in the other
houses. The- reckless crashing of
the machinery even seems to .give
greater horror,- and One is very
glad to get out of that house.
The storing house is the next
one ou the list, and there the gun
powder is heated on wooden trays.
It is very hot, "and no workmen
stay here. From there it goes to
the packing-house, And is put up in
barrels, kegs and canisters.
Safely through all these houses,
it goes at last to the storehouse.
One feels like drawing a lorlg breath
to see the fearful stuff safely pack
ed away, out of the hand of men, in
this curious house.
. Yojfive heard of things' being as
dry as a powder-house, but you
wouldn’t think this house verv dry,
It is almost imbeded in water,
The roof is one big tank filled
with water. Did you ever hear of
a water roof before ? Instead of
steps-to go in, there are shallow
tanks oj: water, thorngk which ev
ery one must walk to the door.
Iu none of these,powder-lvouses is
any light evei* allowed, except sun
light. The wages are good, the
day’s work is short, ending always
at Bor 4 o’clock. Bat the men
have a serious look, that makes
one think every moment of the
danger, and glad to get away.
Though curiouily nifty take a
man once to visit a powder mill, he
has no desire to go a second time ;
he feels all the rest of his life that
for once he has been very near
! death. —American Sportsman.
