A young lady from Texas was spend¬
ing a summer in Kentucky, when
had a queer experience with a tramp.
She was sitting oat m 'he shade of the
yard reading George Elliott’s “Mill on
the Floss,” when a regular, ragged
tramp, red-nose, asked if he could get a
drink of W’ater. He could. Must he
go around to the gate, or could he climb
the fence? Both, if he chose to. He
said “that’s the way I like to hear peo
pie tali.” She went and biought him
the water, and after drinking it he
paused and asked what she was
reading On hearing its name, he said:
“Overrated. I never liked it. All
depth or no depth, I don’t know which.
Strained characters or no characters,
don’t know which. The novelist has
tried to write a story without a wed
defined plot, and has failed. Gold¬
smith’s success as a plotless and charm
ing writer was a bad example.” You
shouldn’t tear my favorite book to
pieces. I like George Elliot and all
her works.” “You don’t like ‘Mill on
the Floss?’ You have been noddiDg over
it for the last half Lour. You only p;e
letid to read it because you imagine
that in doing so you develop liter¬
ary taste.” ‘ J think, sir, you are
impudent.” “But truthful. Here’s a
book you should read,” and the tramp
took from his ragged coat a tattered
copy of Burton’s Anatomy ot Melan¬
choly, “Dr. Johnson said that this book
was the only work that could induce
him to get out of bed, mornings, sooner
than his regular time of rising.” “And
that’s why you like it,” remarked the
girl, taking the book. “If Dr. John¬
son hadn’t made that remark yon
would not find the work so charming.”
He said: “That's all right; give
some more wate-.” She asked him
why he tramped, x-e said,
She said: “Why don’t you quit?”
answered: “I will now, on one condi¬
tion. That you will consent to be my

a Depth of 1,108 Feet
Under the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
The work of boring for hot
under the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in
York, will be resumed in a few days
The machinery now to be used has euf
ficient power to force the drill to
depth of 3,000 feet. The
already bored is 1,108 feet, and
drill is now as at first, in geDeiss rock
interspersed with quartz About
feet from the surface a vein of iron
eight feet in thickness, was
With the exception of geneiss rock and
quartz, this vein and a few stata
ehist, thickly studded with garnet,
have been the only formations encount¬
ered. Water has been obtuined from
time to time, but only in small quan¬
tities. The boring is done with a
made of steel, set with diamonds,
affixed to a hollow tube 21 inches in
diameter. These diamonds are fifteen
in number, and are placed drill, equi-dist
ant on the bottom of the

known as black diamonds, and are
very expensive, as they can be
as often as they 7 become worn. The
wear on a drill of this kind in
through common rock amounts to
10 cents per loot. Machinery used
boring for these drills causes the
tubes composing the drill proper to
make 250 revolutions per minute, and
forces the little diamond pointed head
through the hardest rock at the rate
17 feet per day. At the distance
every 15 feet the drill is taken up
the rock which has been literally
ed out of the earth, is removed in
shape resembling an immense stick
candy. The company who have charge
of the work say they will find water or
oore all summer.
The Vienna town council has wisely
concluded to accept a singular bequest
made to the city of Vienna by Mr.
Henry Lustig, who died in Paris two
years ago. Mr. Lustig has contrived
to make himself a kind of posthumous
Peabody without, taking a penny out
of his property for that purpose. He
simply insured his life for 30,000 francs
and directed that sum to be placed t t
compound interest until its annual it -
come shall amount to 5,000,000 francs,
which will be the case in about tv\o
hundred years. When this income ie
reached it is to be spent on orphan asy¬
lums and hospitals and for the benefit
of students in Vienna and some other
cities. If the city of Vienna had re
toned to take charge of the money and
to see it disposed of according to the
will of the testator, the whole was to
go to the city of Paris, by which, as
Mr Lustig said in his will, he was sure
it would be readily accepted Men ot
all creeds and confessions are to receive
the benefits of this bequest in due course
of time, but on no account is any cler¬
gyman to have anything to do with the
disposal of it. Mr. Lustig in this par
ticuiar evidently belonged to the school
of Girard.
Bisset, the animal trainer of Perth,
taught an ourang to wait on the table
and perform other household duties
longing to servants. A chimpanzee
lias been trained to feed and attend
a bake oven on board ship. A
chimpanzee in the London zoological
gardens could lock or unlock a
or drawer and thread any needle.
taking her meals she used knife, fork
spoon and drinking cup with the same
ease as a human being. The chacma
baboon has been taught to blow
lows and to drive teams of wagon
horses.
