I We live in an electric ugh, There is no doubt of that The world is spinning so it's hard To know just where we're at. Electrical discoveries Have revolutionized The world, till if the dead could wake They'd be just paralyzed. Imagine ()nesse at first sight Of an electric oar 1 He'd turn and run from sheer affright Nor look back till afar. Imagine good George Washington (Whom we are proud to own The hero of his time), perplexed Before a telephone. Sir Isaac Newton would be dazed To see the telegraph ; The thought of talking under seas Would males Columbus laugh In scorn, and old Diogenes Would take to speedy flight, And drop his lantern, if he saw A. big electric light, Yet greater wonders are to come, So wise men prophesy ; This is the ape of miraoles, And long before you die, Dame Progress you may see, perhaps, A pair of bloomers don, And even Philadelphia May get a wiggle on. THE TIN BANK. Speaking of banks, I'm bound to say net a bank of tin is far the beet. And I know of one that has etood for years; In a pleasant home away out West. 13 1108 stood for years on the mantelpiece, Between the ()took and the Wedgewood plate -- A. wonderful bank, as you'll coneede,• When you've heard the things I'll now relate. This bank was made of iiloKinley bin, Well soldered up at sides and hack ; But it didn't resemble tin at all. For they painted it over an iron bleak. And that it really was a bank 'Twits an easy thing to see and say, For above the door, in gorgeous red, Appeared the letters B.A.-N-K. This bank hed been so well devised And wrought so winningly that when You put your money in at the hole It opuldn't get out of that hole again 1 Somewhere about that stanoh, snug thing A secret spring was hid away, But where it was, or how it worked Memo me, please, bet I will nob say.

A fair under tents was held at Boyd avenue, New York, aid the Boulevard, Jersey City, to raise money to help pay off the debt of the South Bergen Reform. ed Chnrob. All the yoling ladies of the congregation and the female members of the oburch organization took a deep in - Wrest in the fair. The great attraction on Tuesday night was a wood -sawing contest between four young women. The contestants were May Taylor, Emma Wademan, Gretbs, Dann, and Elba Spoteahil. The young ladies were each about 18 years old,. and they were presumably handsome, al. though they concealed their faces under great poke bonnets. All of them were athletic looking. Precisely five minutes before 9 o'clock E. W. Russell, the referee, mounted a platform, on which bad been placed four old-fashioned wooden bucks and saws. On eaoh buck lay a piece of hemlock just 'lee inches through. The crowd gathered around the plat- form. The girls took their places at the hooks, firmly grasped the saws, and ab 9 o'clock the referee gave the word to go. Somebody in alis crowd shouted "They're off 1" In about ten seconds Miss Spots-- ohil was in difficulty. Her saw had not been sufficiently greased, and it got stuck. Mies Wademan was soon in the same diffionity. The ether two kept right on, and in preeisely 45 emends Miss Taylor's piece of wood fell apart, and she was de. °tared the winner. She was loudly cheered. She oleo got a prize: SIIE BANGED FIER ii3OTER. At Ranolgenn, on Wednesday of last week, on the witness stand, after a, most rigid examination by the eoroner, Mies Bessie Harris, the pretty daughter of a wealthy farmer, broke down, and oonfess- ed that she hanged Albert Blackman, suitor of whom she was insanely jealous'. Blacerinan's body was found hanging to a tree in a lonely spot a short distance from the tbwn, and the general impres• sion at first was that he had committed suicide. The girl said that Blackman, who was a well-to-do young farmer, had been courting her for some time, in op- position to the wishes of her parents. Her father and mother did not object to the young man on account of any of his habits, as he was industrious, sober, and abundantly able to provide a comfortable home for their daughter. They maintain- ed that she was too young, being scarcely 18 years dld, and they had hoped elle would take a foamy to a relative living in another State, whose name she steadfast- ly refused to divulge. Finding that they could not change her affection for 13Iaok. mau by threats, they adopted a more certain method, and began a systematic attack upon her jealous nature. They told her that Blackman was simply making her ridioulaus, and that he was engaged to another girl. With the aid of her father she procured a rope. She told her lover she wanted him to give her a test of his love by letting her hang him, promising to out him down in time to save him. When all this was arranged, her father emerged from a lonely spot, and the two hanged Blaekman till he was dead. The confession caused a gen- sation. A HARD ROY. ---- Tere are very few people know," said a citizen intimately acquainted in Ohibese circles in Toronee, "that oub 05 84 China- men now here, only two are their own rn,tsbsre. "Ifow is that ?" eehey belong to the oompany that sends them out here, and it takes years to pay off their obiigations.

In China, you will under- stand, $300 is a foettme. The father and other brothers beim to go security for the payment of this sum. "Well, the young mail comae out, and is put in a laundry at perhaps 50 or 75 ciente a day. Out of that he has to live and pay the company their 0300.
