Saved by a Ubbbzb ?Tbere is cer?
tainly a providence whioh protects
lovers, as drunken men are protected.
The man in a weary state of inebria?
tion is rarely injured by a fall, and a
receut incident in Paris would indicate
tbat lovers are equally fortunate when
life and limbs are in danger. Tbe he?
roine of this incident was a girl who
lived in a room ou the third floor of a
building (to tbe Boulevard Meuilmou
tant, who was ao unfortunate as to
quarrel desperately with her lover in
her apartment. The woman of any
nationality wben angry at a mau is
prone to aeek her own injury by way
of vengeance on the faithless wretch,
and French women, have the traft, in
common ? with their sisters of Other
countries. Tbe young French girl
mentioned, made perfectly furious in
some way by her lover, dashed to tbe
window, and, ere he could stop ber,
leaped through it headlong to tbe
pavement, three stories below. The
horrified * man rushed down to the
street, expecting to find the mangled
remains of tbe woman he had injured,
but he didn't find the remains in jnet
the condition autioipated. He found
an unharmed and still mad woman,
ready to receive him with all tbe honor
of war. Tbe story of the sppareotly
miraonloos escape was simple. The
girl iu jumping from the window went
feet foremost, and to this owed ber
life. There was a bard wind blowing,
and it transformed her ample skirts
mto a balloon on tbe instant, letting
tbe young lady down gracefully and
gradually into a snow-bank. And so
tbere is another very literal illustration
of the Bouuduesa of the proverb that
"it's an ill wind whioh blows nobody
good."
Fa it Mtsa ON a Huge Scale.?Dr.
Hugh J. Gleun, a nutive of Augusta
County, Va., but now a resident of
Jaciuto, Colusa County, Ca!., raised
and harvested the past season, ou bis
own farm, 600,000 bushels of wheat.
This would load eighteeu 1,000 ton
ships, or 300 oanal boats. All this
whaat he has now in his own ware
houses, ready for shipment when tbe
water in the Sacramento Rivor rises
sufficiently. The doctor pays 890,000
freight to put hie wheat in Sau Fran?
cisco. The doctor ia a wonder to tbe
agricultural world and to himself. He
runs uinety gang-plows and a whole
County's population in tbe harvest
field, with a dozen thrashers. His
farming is not confined to wheat alone.
He markets $100.000 worth of stock
each year. Dr. Glenn is a praotioal
farmer, and manages all bis immense
business himself. He oao mend a
trace and make s key to an ox-box with
bis jaok knife just as easy as drawing
bis check for $100,000, which he can
do every day in tbe week.
Tbe insatiate assessor has begun to
circulate his tax blanks, in wbioh tbe
unhappy property-holder is ordered to
report not only everything be baa tbat
is properly taxable, but all tbe bad
debts that are due him, tbat tbry may
also be taxed. Taxing a man for that
wbicb ho has not, and which he in all
probability will never get, is a refine?
ment of cruelty whioh might justify
rebellion, let alone perjury, and it will
serve no one bnt tbe dishonest tax?
payer, who is already fat from shifting
his burdens to the shoulders of the
tax-payer who ia honest. The high?
way robber may be honorably met and
overcome, bat this tax blank wbiob
is thrust into people's faces has the
State behind it, ana no good oitisen,
even if he is not afraid, wishes to re?
sist his State.

- A Mtbtkbious aud Tbaqio Conflict.
An attack wm made, it ia supposed by
detectives, about half-past 1 o'clock,
Tuesday morning, near Kearney, Mo.,
a atation 6n the Haonibal and' St.
Joseph Railroad, upon the premise* of
Mr. and Mrs. Samuels, to secure the
arrest of the notorioua James boys,
who are the sons of Mrs. Sitmnela,
aud are charged with various robberies.
A despatch from Kaunas Oity says:
"The bouse is in a thick wood,
there are no houses withiu a half
mile, either way. It is a most dreary
apot. The family wss first awakened
by some uoise, when Samuel arose aud
went outside to ascertain tbe cause.
He found the house ou fire; after put?
ting it out he returned inside, where
he discovered a baud grenade, a Nmall
bomb-shell, lying ou the floor and
Mrs. Samuels utt* wpting to throw it
into tho tire, not kuowiug wnut it was.
He ignoruntly picked it up and threw
it into a large iir. -pl.ice Cue whole
family came in and eltuont immediately
it exploded, wounding tour of the
family. Mrs. Samuels tost an arm, a
child eight years old was killed, and
two others were loj ued I'hia baud
grenade bad been thrown in through
the window.
"All tbe members of the family
agree iu saying than neither of tbe
James boys wer? present Ou tbe
other hand, there are uumi-fskable
evidences of a severe tight, the feuoe
being riddled with bullets aod tbe
grouud covered iu pla es with blood,
it is well established that au xtra train
went over the Hmnibal and St. Joseph
Riilroad, stopping at Kearney the
uight of tbe tragedy, aud train men
suy that eight rasa aboard had two
prisoners.
"It was impossible to ascertain
where the train went, but the supposi?
tion is that it has guue to Chicago. It
was said at Keu.ruey, yesterday, that u
wouuded man was in that neighbor?
hood, and tue Sheriff summoned a
posse of tweuty for duty last nigh, it
is supposed, to capture him. The
j barbarous method of the detectives is
generally condemned "
I A Hi kg ulah Case of Conscience ?
I A few days since a man died in the
alms house at Richmond, Va , leaving
$800 in money and other property, the
money being ou deposit in New York,
the property is bequeathed to relative?
iu England and Ireland, but a codicil
is left directing his executors, before
carrying into execution the bequest*
made in the will, to pay to the follow?
ing insnraooe oompauiee of London,
Euglitnd, to wit: To the Atlas Fire and
Life Assurauce Company, ?100; to the
Pbceuix Iusurauoe Company, ?100; to
the Suu Insurance Company, ?UM; to
reimburse them for money received by
the deceased in Liverpool in the'year
1849, to which he believed he was not
striotly entitled. Tbe dec-ased, whose
name is not given in tbe Richmond
pspers. is said to have been a mau of
culture, and was for some time a con?
tributor to several prominent Northern
journals. He was a very grave and
dignified man, aud perfectly tempo
rate. The will is in his own baud
writing, and is expressed iu strictly
technical language. He was au Irish?
man, and lived iu Charleston, S O,
for some years.
Tho Iron' Age says that a wedge or
plate of iron has been discovered im?
bedded in the masonry of tho great
pyramid. It has been a great puzzle
to those who attributed the first use of
iron to a date not much more than
2.'JO ) years back, how Mich sharp and
well defined hieroglyphics could have
been cut ou porphyry, granito and the
hardest stone aj are found ou the
touib.H, temples and surcopbagi of an?
cient Egypt. But the piece of iron
found in the great pyramid allows that
this metal was produced aud wrought
lathe age of Kiug Cheops, whioh is
placed by eome authorities as far back
as 5,400 years ugo. The similarity ol
earlier inscriptions on stone to those
made in the time of King Cheops,
suggests the supposition that iron may
have been iu use more than 0,000 years
ago.
Ciiuiton Discipline?The severity
with which Archbishop Maiming is en?
forcing his will upon the Catholics in
England is shown by the faot that in
the recent "Catholic Direetorj*," pub?
lished in London, the uamo of L >rd
Curnoys has been stricken from tho
list of Oatholio peers. Lord Oamoys
has for a long time been one of tho
most celebrated of Catholic noblemen.
When Arohbishop Manniug published
Ins letter on the Vatican decree.*, bis
lordship dissented from tho Episcopul
ooostruction of tho doctrino of Papal
iu fallibility. Thu Arcbbinhop conse?
quently replies by striking bis name
from the list of Catholio peers, thus
virtually certifying to the world that
he no longer recognizea him as a mem
bur of the church.
A Frenoh woman is about to marry
a pony. During the past season Mile,
de V-, ono of the finest sportswo?
men of France, was present with her
father at a series of celebrated raoes.
Her attention was attracted to a small
and remarkably bundaome pony, and
she requested her father, who is im?
mensely rieb, to purchase it. Tbe fa?
ther and daughter called npou tbe
owner, Compte de D-, but upon
learning their errand, he declined to
part with the animal upon auy terms
whatever, saying that be bad sworn
that it should belong to no one but his
wife. The call led to a further ac?
quaintance, and it is announced that
the lady will soon be the owner of the
pony."
