A Buffalo despatch says : In his anneal report Superintendent Welch, of the Nia- gara reservation at the Falls, says : " It has been found by examining tke shores of Goat Island that the river has worn it away for a distance of 1,800 feet, and as the island is composed largely of gravel and quicksand a plan has been formed for saving the rest of the island. This protec- tion consists of cribs filled with stone, the cost of which, exclusive of the stone, is estimated at $3.15 per running foot. The Three Sisters Islands are also found to be gradually wearing away." e � An Irish ` paper mentions the general dimensions of the unmentionables that were smuggled to William O'Brien to show that a suspected friend of O'Brien's couldn't have been the man who wore them in, as he couldn't possibly inhabit them.

The prunes grown by Mr. Greyell, are of the Russian variety; they are large, well formed, dully ripened and equal en flavor to any cooking prunes on the market. The tree which bore thaw is eight years old, and stands the climate fully as well as the plum tree. A frost which occurred in the earlier part of the season damaged the plums on the neighboring trees, but did not injure the prunes in the least. Mr. Greyell is making arrangements to plant five acres of prunes next spring. 4 An Amateur French Scholar. Two lads who were standing a few days ago before a store window, in which the sign " on parle Francaise" was dis- played, were overheard trying to decipher the legend. Finally the younger of the boys, with an accent that would make ordinary hotel menu French seem classic, read•the'line over aloud and said, in a superior conclusive way: " I tell you, Billy,it's a kinder French skatin' parlor they keep in there."

As for persons in fashion- able society,' who despise their native Scottish songs, and prefer to soak their stomachs with the sentimental syllabubs of the most recent London market, one can only pity them, and pray for their conver- sion to a better mind. It is a sad factthat the upper classes, whom the crowd are fond to imitate, are often the most de- naturalized and denationized part of the community; but men of sense should know that the real value of Scottish national song, acknowledged by all the greatest poets and musicians of Europe, cannot be permanently affected by the squeamish conceits of a few provincial worshippers of the gilded idol palled fashion."

The Boy and the Big Bridge. As I was ascending the bridge steps to take a train for New. York the other after- noon, I noticed just ahead of me a woman leading a little boy by the hand. The boy, who appeared to be about 4 years old, was trying to hold back and crying bitterly. "I don't want to go on the bridge," he yelled, while he tugged away to get back to the street. It was with great difficulty that the woman got him on the train. When she sat down he climbed into her lap, and throwing his arms around her neck,moaned and cried most piteously. " I don't want to go on the bridge," he kept repeating all the way over. I asked the mother why the boy was afraid to go on the bridge, and she replied that there was only one way to account for it. "The boy," she said, " was born a few months after the great accident on the bridge just after the opening, in 1883. My husband was killed in the crush that day. I was with him but by some miracle I escaped. Very early in life my son evinced great fear of the bridge, andalways. pried when grossing it. I generally use the ferry, as I hate to make a scene, but I am in a hurry today and so came over this way. I hope he will recover from this fear as he grows older, but I am beginning to think otherwise. He has no idea how his father died, and no one has ever spoken of the bridge accident in his hearing."— ' Rambler" in Brooklyn.Eagle. Might Have Done Better.
