Willie Bowen. aged nine, years, is a Hlatepioker onihe piers of the Delaware and Hudson 0 anal oompanyat Honesdale, Pa. Two ponderous iron rollers, one alose over the other, revolve slowly a fe.w feet above the boy's head whore he works. . A pieoe of slate from the ooal that is oarned from soroen to screen on endless oanVas belts got betweon these rollers yesterday. The boy reaohed up from the scaffolding on whioh he stood to take 4he slate out. His hand was oaught by the rollers and drawn slowly , in? until tho little fellow wis Raised from ,htfl feet and was suspended over the oanal tell feet above it.

There is in Kaufman, Texas, a little negro girl, about five years old, bearing in n&ftny respects a striking resemblanoe to a logger-head turtle. , The nose is hardly more than an idea, while the eyes have that peouliar and unintelligt' bio stare as if looking everywhere and seeing nothing. From tho baok of tho neck downward an improsslon is easily distinguishable resembling the breast bone of the turtle. All the limbs are deformed, ending In web-footed claws, aa if drawn up by an application of hot Water. This monstrosity, strange as it may seem, possesses the power of speeoh and shows a degree Of intelligonoe en tirely at variance with all heretofore preoonoelved ideas of an intelligent oonntenanoe. With an appetite wliioh is insatiable in its demands, and a fond ness for raw meats, especially fish; a oonrage, or rather an incapacity to ap preciate danger; a love for aquatio sports and a wila loy In the water ren ders the negro girl, if tnoh she may be oalled, a phenomenon uneqnaled in this or any other country, Prank of t Florida River. There is a curious fact oonnfoted with the Btote Fe river that Is not generally known. The river in some places sinks apparently entirely under ground end rises again abruptly. Major Mike Whet stone, well known in that section and at the Keys, once bethought him that he would build a mill, a&a proceeded to Hout his design. The mill WM when lo I ana behold, the river then flowing so placidly and eon tente31y by him) took what an old fel low once- called a ?circnmstanoe,' drop ped beneath the mill and reappeared some miles further down.

E, Walker, writing to n religious journal, says that the mourn ing garb, the conventional habiliment ot sorrow, In exceedingly inappropriate under tho sublime teachings of Christ! ? anity. Why array otfe'i self In somber blank when death has invaded tho homo? Ia the grave shrouded In gloom? Havo we no light concerning what lies be Jond? It our Morrow utterly without ?pet or Are we anxious to prod aim unto the world that we hAve been ?mit . ten In heart? Is it a bid for their sympa thy and commiseration? Heal grief is unobtrusive. It sheds its tears In con cealment and sllenoe. Too often the ex pressive mourning garb oovers the hoi low hypdmsy that would thus feign its
