One of these days, when one of the boilers thnt are In charge of this kind of en¬ gineers, blows up, and several are killed, the public will any it was a ■ mysterious oc¬ currence, and there is no one to bhune, fur the boiler was full of miter, (ha engineer was a careful man and held a drifted States license, and the Inspector suites thiuV he ex¬ amined hiiii cirelully and found him well qualllled, when, at tho same lime', he hud never asked him one question.

Yacht Mi;asuiik.mkn.t.—The Forest and St renin savs a recent committee on yacht inciistiremenf Cnine to the .conclusion that any sys'i-in that taxed either breadth, depth or hulk, each by Itself, would favor or foster jiii| ilpppsUe quality, ami should therefore bo rcjei'ii'd.

And your committee have therefore come to the conclusion that length In some loriu modified by sail ureu in some form; should be the prluel|uU adopted.

Stop and Go Fishing.—Peck's Sun puts this In a good, light: The Cleveland mill¬ ionaire who committed suicide, did so-be¬ cause he could not sleep. How ninny mill- Ionulres are there who would give one of their millions If they could' sleep us well nights as Pat who takes care of their horses, or the poor man who works In their gardens. Every million dollars a mini nccumnlatea niter lie has n competency Is it weight of lend upon his brain. He docs not enjoy his money and no one else can. Wlnitrfoea It profit it man to gain a bushel of money,nnd lay awake nights anil see spooks, und roll nnd tumble on n soft hod until every nerve Is on n strike.

The spectacle ol a man who has got six million dollars blowing his bruins out, ought to make thousands who are rich ami who arc rustling lor more, stop and think, and then quit business and go llshliig.
