step into the cool Jordan. We will look
around for and some place to lay down our

It will be remembered that early in

Europe on a special diplomatic mission
connected with the capture of Slidell and
Mason, the fitting out blockade in foreign South¬ waters

His first objective point was the
French Court, and ire landed at Havre.
He remained in Paris some time in con¬
sultation with our Minister and others.
Then he crossed the channel, and while
in London was the special guest of the
great American banking firm of Pea¬
body, Morgan A Co. the
One morning, while sitting in
private office of the firm, Mr. Morgan
showed him a copy of what purported
to bo a circular letter, which was ob¬
tained by Mr. Morgan at the Foreign
Office.
This letter which had been sur¬
reptitiously sent from Paris, foreshadow¬
ed the position which Louis Napoleon the
was to assume in his message to
Chamber upon American affairs. Mr.
Weed quietly pocketed the copy, packed Paris.

594 pipes of an inch diameter, That
conttructed by Louis XIV. of France
for carrying tho Bacq to Versailles is

elevation, and contains 242 arcades.
Eddie Williams of Franklin, Me.,
went hunting and tho gun he carried
“kicked” very hard when ho fired it. A
few days afterward he was taken ill and
died. The recoil of the gun had caused
concission of the base of the brain, pro.
ducing partial paralysis of the epino
and cigestivo organs.
The smallest baby in Chicago, was
horn i few days ago to Mrs. Danske,
tho wife of a teamster, Tho diminu

pound avoirdupois—and Mrs. Dansko
rocks it to sleep in the palm of her
hand. The baby is perfectly formed
and lus a healthy pair of lungs.

A Noisoloss Clock.
According to .the Jeweller and Metal
worker, a curiously considerate inven
tion 110,1 has bean produced 1 ^ by i a French
man in ho shape ol a noiseless ciock
for use more especially in sick rooms
^ - ^ , aCe of . hC Ui ‘ wl , V^ulu , . m , the ,
hands are set in motion by the unroll
ing of a cnatn, the end of which is fast
0 ned to a buoy floating in a tank of lio
uid. The fluid escapes at uniform rate
and can be utilized to feed a lamp wick,
thin giving tho apparatus the double
character of clock and lamp. When
tho lamp is lighted the necessary dim¬
inution o' liquid takes place by combus¬
tion, at diher times by a carefully regu¬
lated dropping. The idea is a good one,
and will commend itself to all who are
blessed with “nerves,” for use in other
than the sick rooms for which the clock
is primarily designed.

delivery o: the lecture the choir melo
dioudy inquired. “What Shull the Hat
