Yet how del lea to and efficient they are! Compare the in. struments employed by Frankliu, and cveu by Faraday, with those which are in constant use to*day in our physical Inborn* tories. Franklin, by the utmost effort of bis imagination, could not conceive, prob ably, of a mirror galvanometer that can delect the electrical action of a drop of distilled water ou two so-called chemically pure platinum plates, or of a machine that can develop from the feeble magnet- , ism of the earth a current sufficiently ! strong to light the city of Philadelphia. ‘ Let i im who wanders among the histor leal instruments of many of our college collections stand before the immense fric tional electrical machine of Franklin day, or gaze upon the rude electrometers and galvanometers of that time, and con trust Franklin’s machine with the small Toepler-Holtz electrical machine which, with a tenth of the size, gives a spark ten times as strong as Franklin’ii; or the ele •• trometors and galvanometers of Faraday with the •mirror-galvanometers and elec trometers of Sir William Thompson. Vet, at the same time, let such an ol> server think of the possih*lilies of the next fifty years, for the advance of science is not in a simple proportion to the time, and the next fifty yean, will probably see a far greater advance -.ban the 100 years since the date of Franklin's elec trical work have seen. Is not the state of our imagination like that of the shepherd boy who lies upon his back, looking up at the stars of heaven, and trying to im agine what is beyoud the stars? The ouly conclusion is that there is something far more than wo have ever beheld. Grtllna Tlierc. [Bob Burdette.] It doesn't take a great while get a boy out of a place where he wants to stay. Man comes out into the orchard. “Chil'ea come right down out en that are tree this minute!” “Which tree?” “Why, that un yer in!” “Tlds one?” “ Yes, that one. ” “This one here by the fence?” “ Yes, that un yer in. ” “This one with the red apples?” “ Yes, that un, an’ I (lout want to tell ye agin!” “ Well, we’re coinin’ down. ” “ Well, come down mighty quick. ” “Well, 1 am. ” “Hurrah, then!” “Must I come clear down?” “Ckardown on the ground, and g«t thar mighty quick, too!” “ Well "—slowly sliding down the trunk. “I am down.

In case the iu- terviewer is a stranger, or a dog, however, the first word or prefatory bark isn’t com pleted until the tree is’ns desolate and solitary as a garden of cucumtiers, while the adjacent road is full of howling boys, casting into * the orchard Parthian shots of casual stones and derisive remarks. !tlr. Willlum Day uuii (he ('at. [Peck’s Sun.] William Day, of New Hampshire, wn* strolling through his orchard the other day to see how many apples had been car ried olT by the boys living in his neigh borhood, when he espied a wildcat crouch ing on a limb in one of his trees. Now, William, like a great many other people, can never pass an animal, especially a cat, without firing a brick at It, or hitting it with a club. When lie saw the wildcat lying so comfortably in the crotch of the tree, with its eyes closed in slumber, lie straightway hied himself to *a rail fence for the purf ose of getting a stick with which to awake the sleeping animal. Mr. Day will never agaiu meddle with a wildcat, for lie had no sooner given it the first fond caress with the rail than from a little round ball of fur It spread out as big as a buffalo robe, and with a spring it struck Mr. Day on top of the head, and, without stopping to ask that gentleman’s permission, proceeded to re move his clothes. When Mr. Day’s friends found him there was wasn’t n stitch of clothing un his body, and up to last accounts they had counted 105 claw marks ou his person and were still finding them. A Fortune (row a Flower. iNew York Post.] The gorgeotts dahlias which so brill iuntly ornament the gardens at this time, i and arc so effectively used in decorations, ore of Mexican origin. They were first i introduced into Germany by Dahl; llicii name was then “Bidens Magnificat” after ward they were called dahlias, in honor of ! the man who found them. They were, ■ when discovered, quite single, having only one ray of petals about a golden disc; the colors were scarlet, yellow aud white, the I latter being distinct from the others, hav- j ing smaller flowers, and lielng of a dwarf J Imbit. with leaves much divided aud fern 1 like in character. The English were the j first to attempt the doubling of the dahlia, which was prized by royalty, and so jealously guarded that those iu charge of j them were sworu to secrecy as to their . cultivation; It was considered a great privilege even to see them growing.

[New York Sun.] All old ue-rro. who Is very short and as i fat as a traditional alderman, put his bead . iuto the forward cabin of a Cortlandt I street ferry-boat, a dsy or two ago, and J looked warily aliout.

Every once and ft while be put his hand up to Ills mouth in tin apologetic way and chuckled very far down in his throat.

When the boat moved out of (he slip he gave one more searching gla -.ce toward the doors, and then, fixing b»th eyes on the ceiling, began to whistle “The Mocking Bird ” The people stared at him in amazement. It sounded like a full toned fiutc in the hands of a good player. There seemed to lie an immense range to it, and ho went from chcp bass tones to the sharp and shrill pining tones of a piccolo. First he whistled the tune through carefully, and then he fell to giving it all sorts of varia tions. The notes rang through the place loudly and when he had finished he was vig orously applauded; then he went off at a rattling rate and whistled a dance tune, and then fell hack again to imitating birds.

Cleveland Leader.] One of the lending secretaries at the White House tells me that the business ot the executive hns increased largely since the days of Lincoln and Grant. “Up until the time of Hayes,” says he, “hardly a scrap of paper was kept here to show what the president did or why he did it. Now we keep a record of every tiling and we make a poiut of answering every letter. Notes are kept of the contents ot all im portant letters received, and by our records here, in case of an appointment, we can tell just why and upon whose rccommeu dation the appointment was made. In ease the appointee turns out badly the president is relieved of the blutne nnu it is throwu uj>on those who recommended him.
