It revolves continually while in operation, so that turf, stones, corn buts, or any oth er obstruction of the kind cannot clog it.

AY QuW\cy\\v£* President Garfield's portrait is to be placed upon the five-ceut interna tional postage stamps. A 7-ycar-ohl boy. in Harrisburg. Pa., while “playing circus,” a few days ago. stood iq on his head so long that lie was atlaked with brain fever, and died in a few hours. A remark by Revivalist Harrison, in a San Francisco meeting : “Some times I think I shall not die. Hut when my time comes angels will come and place me under their wings and bear me gently away.” Father Bfeheny, the Roman Catho lic pastor at Manayunk. Pa., declared in a sermon that he had never worn a stitch of English cloth since he arrived in America, and that, rather than send his relatives a dollar that might go into a landlord’s pocket, he would let them die. One intoxicated man said it was a bundle of rags that lay on a window sill 200 } ards away, at Austin, Texas, and his companion said it was a woman's head. They made a bet, and decided it by shooting at the object; hut neither won, for it was a boy's head which the bullet grazed. Blackjack is a Missouri town of some sentiment, notwithstanding its name, for it has just had an elopement, involving a furious pursuit of the dying pair by the girl's father on horseback, a charge of shot tired scatterimgly into their backs, a runaway by all tlx* scared horses, a light between the tv o men, and the final triumph of the lovers. During the siege of Sebastopol a Russian shell buried itself in the side of a hill, without the city, and opened a spring. A little fountain bubbled forth where the cannon-shot had fallen, and during the remainder of the siege afforded to the thirsty troops who were stationed in that vicinity an abundant supply of pure cold water. Thus the missile of death from an enemy, un der the direction of an overruling Pro vidence, proved an almoner of life to the parched and weary soldier of the allies. The superintendent of the Bingham tom Juvenile Asylum is a firm be liever that a propensity for crime is hereditary, lie cites the case of a boy whose parents and grandparents were thieves, but who had never known them nor their ways, and had been reared most carefully. Kleptomania was developed in him, however, and he will steal things which cannot be of any value to him, siinplv from im pulse. The sermon that the Rev. James L. Hill delivered at Lynn, several days ago, was not remarkable in quality; yet the preacher became so affected that he had to lean on the desk for support, the sexton fell flat in an aisle, the choir could not sing the doxology, and a number of women were carried out iu a fainting condition. It was coal gas from the heater, ami not elo quence from the pulpit, that produced this commotion. The American negroes now per forming as minstrels in London do not encounter any of the social prejudice which they are accustomed to at home. “The spectacle,” says a correspondent if the Clipper, “of colored men and white women walking arm-in-arm up Piccadilly is one that is Calculated to laze gods and men. How it .affects lie swell*', who have been in the habit >f making Piccadilly their pet pro menade, I can only conjecture.” The Tombstone Epitaph refers to a curious custom in that remarkable settlement, of a huge negro with a be’! stalking arond at certain hours to an nounce llie beginning of a fresh game of keno at a house of which he is a retainer. This is a feature of the manners of their grandfathers which will doubtless interest future genera tions of Tombstoncrs. and is fittingly preserved by the local chronicler. A brother and sister, aged 15 and 17, went for the first time to a circus in Little Rock, and were so dazzled by the glories of the show that they resolved to go olf witli it. The girl put on male attire, and in that garb introduced herself and brother to the circus manager as twins. They could sing fairly, were a remarkably hand some pair, and the manager hired them at $2 a week and expenses to perform in the concerts after the reg ular ring exhibitions. On reaching New Orleans they had seen all tin y desired of circus life, and were glr.d to be sent back by a benevolent clown to their anxious parents. Capt. Maxwell, a British naval offi cer, <vho has been cruising with his ship in the western Pacific, writes home that a striking peculiarity of the Ellice Islanders is the entire absence of arms among them. lie did not, see i club or a spear, or any weapon what ever, cither in the hands or houses of these natives. At Ponapi, in the Caro line Islands, he was greatly impressed with the magnitude and solidity of the residence of former chiefs now in ruins. On one islet he found four complete squares built one in the other, with walls, some of them thirty five feet high and twelve thick. FIBE PROOF MESSENOEfI BOXES Bob Oblonis, a character of note in St, Louis, is dead. llis father was a blue Presbyterian minister, his wife was from a wealthy and respected family, and his own conduct was above reproach until he was about fort)-. Then he killed an enemy in a street encounter, and was sent to a peniten tiary for twenty years. llis wife bought a residence directly across the way from the Gubernatorial house in Jefferson City, and labored with Go vernor after Governor to obtain a par don, until the seventh granted one. But Oblenis did not return to respec tability. lie became a gambler, and a leader of gamblers, exerting a con siderable political influence in St. Louis, and amassing a fortune. He died at seventy, soon after becoming a seemingly devout Christian. Ikofessiotuif imk Dentist, Junc 10—*81. Gatnesviixk, Ga. TOIIN J.
