Saved by a Ureezb ?Tbere is cer?
tainly a providence whioh protects
lovers, as druukeu men are protected.
The man io a weary state of inebria?
tion ia rarely injured by a fall, and a
receut incident in Paris would indicate
tbat lovers are equally fortunate when
life aud limbs are iu danger. The he?
roine of this inoident was a girl who
lived in a room ou tbe third fljor of a
building on the Boulevard Meuilmou
tant, who was so unfortunate as to
quarrel desperately with her lover iu
her apartment. The woman of auy
nationality when angry at a mau is
prone to seek ber own injury by way
of vengeanoe ou the fatthlesH wretch,
aud French women have the trait, in
common ? with their sisters of other
countries. Tbe young French girl
mentioned, made perfectly furious in
some way by ber lover, dashed to tbe
window, and, ere he oould stop her,
leaped through it headlong to tbe
pavement, three stories below. Tbe
horrified - man rushed down to tbe
street, expecting to find the mangled
remains of tbe woman be had injured,
but be didn't find tbe remains in just
tbe oondttion anticipated. Ue found
au unharmed aud still mad womau,
ready to receive bim with all tbe honor
of war. The story of the apparently
miraculous escape was simple. Tbe
girl iu jumping from the window went
feet foremost, and to this owed ber
life. Tbere was a bard wiud blowing,
and it transformed ber ample skirts
mto a balloon on tbe instant, letting
the young lady down gracefully and
gradually into a snow-bank. And so
there is uuother very literal illustration
of tbe soundness of the proverb that
"it's no ill wind which blows nobody
good."
Farming on a Hoob Scale.?Dr.
Hugh J. Glenn, a native of Augusta
County, Va., but now a resident of
Juciuto, Culusa County, Cel., raised
and harvested the past season, ou bis
own farm, 600,000 bushels of wheat.
This would load eighteen 1,000 ton
ships, or 300 oanal boats. All this
wh.-at he has now in his own ware
houses, ready for shipment when tbe
water in the Saorameuto River rit es
sufficiently. Tbe doctor pays 890,000
freight to put his wheat in Sau Fran?
cisco. The doctor is a wonder to the
agricultural world and to himself, lie
runs uinety gang-plows and a whole
County's population in the harvest
field, with a dozen thrashers. His
farming is not confined to wheat alone.
He markets 8100.000 worth of stock
each year. Dr. Glenn is a practical
farmer, and manages all bis immense
busiuess himself. He can meud a
truce and make a key to an ox-box with
bis jack knife just as easy as drawiug
his check for 8100,000, which he cuu
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 has tbat
is properly taxable, but all the bad
debts that are due him, tbat they may
also be taxed. Taxing a man for tbat
which ho has not, and which ho in all
probability will never get, is a refine?
ment of cruelty wbioh might justify
rebellion, let alone perjury, aud it will
serve no one but tbe dishonest tax?
payer, who ia already fat from shifting
his burdens to tbe shoulders of tbe
tux-payer who is honest. The high?
way robber may be honorably met and
overcome, but this tsx blsnk whiob
is thrust into people's faces has tbe
Slate behind it, ana no good oitiseo,
even if be is not afraid, wishes to re?
sist his Stats.

Au attack was made, it is aapposed by

"The bouse ia in a tbiok wood,

A Sieqular Canb of Conscience ?
A few days eitioe a man died iu the
alms house at Richmond, Yu , leaving
$800 in money and other property, the
money being uu deposit in New York.
1'liH property is bequeathed to relatives
iu Eugland aud Ireland, but a codicil
i? left directing his executors, before
carrying into executiou the bequests
made in the will, to pay to the follow*
tug insurance compauies of London.
Eugland, to wit: To the Atlas Fire sod
Life Assurauce Company, ?100; to the
Fbceuix Iuhurauoo Compauy, ?100; to
the Sun Insurance Company, ?100; to
re-imborse them for money received by
the deoeased iu Liverpool iu tbe'yeur
1840, to wbioh he believed he was not
striotly entitled. The dec-ased, whose
name is not given in the Richmond
papers, is said to have been a man of
culture, and was for some time a con?
tributor to several prominent Northern
journals. He was a very grave aud
diguifiod man, and perfectly tempo

writing, and is expressed iu ntrictly
technical language. He wus uu Irish

for some yeurs.

Tho Iron' Age nays tbut a wedge or

bedded in the masonry of the great
pyramid. It has been a great puzzle
to those who uttnbuled the drat use of
irou to a date not much moro than
2.00.) years buck, how mi on sharp and
well defined hieroglyphics could have
been cut ou porphyry, grauite and the
hardest stone tu are found ou the
tombs, temples nud surcopbagi of uu
eient Egypt. But the piece of iron
found iu the great pyramid xhows that
this metal wus produced aud wrought
in tho age of King Cheops, whiou is
placed by some authorities an fur buck
us 5,40'J years ugo. The MmiJunty ol
earlier inscriptions on stone to tlio.se
made in tho time of King Cheops,
suggests the ?Opposition that iron may

Ciiuicuii Discipline?Tho so verity
with which Archbishop Manning is en?

Cutnoys has beet- stricken from the
list of Catholic peers. Lord Camoys

most celebrated of Catholic noblemen.

Tun Mboklenboro Centennial ?
The citizens of Mecklenburg County,

on the '20th of May next. It may not
be generally known that tbe people of

selves a free aud independent people.
This was done over a year before any
notion was taken by tbe Continental

without resources, so that tbe sum,

of three years on the, victim's life.
