Tlirrc l a "celebrated case" in Irou county,
Hi., which has at last been brought to on end.
It was all about tho ownership of a little brown
pnle, worth alout 00. It had been pending
(urn-am and had been tried mvny times in
different courts. There were soventy-nve wit
omcs iiibpojiiacd in tho esse, and the costs in

Tlie Cunailinn Government intends to send

TELEGRAPHIC.
A London Journal tells of a gentleman who
rifitcd tho telegraph office in Old Broad street
Dot long ago. Ha was desirous of ascertaining
bow far communications on a single circuit
eould be extended. First the operator connec
ts with a Gorman town, then with Odessa,
ten with Teheran, then with Agra, and finally
to the visitor"! great delight, with Calcutta,
1,000 miles away. Perhaps ir the gentleman
takes goud care of his health, his old ago may
tad him chatting through a perfected tolo"
hone over an equal distance.
TALENT.
Talent that is purely physical payi nowadays.
Bra, tangtry, who can't act a bit, made $50,-
OOOlast year, and Sullivan, who can only fight,
made $100,000. One is tempted, after reading
the later fact, to indulge in a little moralizing
and a few comparisons, now many mem
bers of the learned professions earned a quar
ter aa much ? Precious few. It is not surprhv
lug that the profession of pugilism is over
crowded when it presents chancca like this one
which csme in (Sullivan's way of making a for-
tone in a year.

Snip nuiLDINU IN MAINE. 1
The shipbuilding industry in Maine has
proved more satisfactory this year on thi
whole than was expected last spring on accoua,
of the prevailing low freights. Last year there
was an unusual number of tons built, and this
year tho total comes within 370,78 tons of the
total for 183X Tho work has also been more
evenly distributed, for, whilo there has been a
decroaso of 5,080, 9 tons in the Hath district,
thero has been a gain in eight of tho other dis
tricts. Tliero wcro 171 vessels built this yoar,
against 108 last yoar, comprising 0 steamers,
13 ships, barks, 0 barkontines, 2 brigs, 133
schooners, and 7 sloops, aggregating 71,708.13
tons againat 75,084.91 tons last year.
PHILOSOPHY.
We havo so many systems of philosophy that
almost any man cau bo suited. AU he has to do
is to look around and tuko his choice. Terhaps
for a good, solid practical every day philosophy
thctlrst Napoleon stood at tho head of his con
temporaries. IHs idea was that the concentra
tion of force on one given point at a given time
was bound to win. This principle is applica
ble to every act of life. Whether a man is do
ing mechanical or intellectual work he will find
that he can doit exceptionally well if ho con
centrates his best mental and physical powers
and directs them to tho matter in hand. This
is equally true of writing a paragraph, making
a speech, driving a nail or loVivcling dirt. To
do his best work a man must put his whole
mind into it. This wis the Napoleonic method,
and thero is common sense, gonitis and magio
in it.

A HTltAN;U (TSTO.ll.
At Monte Carlo it is tho custom to fill tho
pockets of suicides with bunk-notes, so that it
limy be seen that they did not kill themselves
on account of losses. A recent loiter from
there relates how a presumably dead Irishman
succeeded in getting his pockets filled a short
time ago. After Insiiiu a small sum at tho
gambling tables, bo suddenly jumped tip, -
slaimed, "I am mined !" and rushed into tlio
gardens. Almost immediately altcrwaru too
guards heard a pistol shot and then a cry of
pain, and, rushing to the spot, found tlie irisn
mandesd. It was dark, with no ono around,
10 they filled his pockets with moLey and left
him to be found in tho morning. They had
icarcely gone out of sight, howev, r, before the
Irishman was on his fret again anil snipping
awny in tho most lively style.
ANOTIIKIt FALSE PROPHET.
Things are getting complicated in tncbou-
dan. Another Falsn Prophet has arisen, who
lavs that El Mahdi is not tho genuine. False
Prophet, anil mat. no, mo new nrnvm, m mo
onlv trno and original rrophet. In pursuance,
of thia theory bo pitched in and defeated somo
ofEl Mahiil's troops. Now, if tho new Falso
Prophet and the old Falso rrophet will only
play the part of the Kilkenny cats, the Soudan
question will be settled without any annoyance
to England. The now Falso l'ropnot is saia to
have the powor of making himself invisible,
and like the Frenchman s flea, when Ms ene
mies go to put their fingers on him he isn't
there. But that does not seem to do a gooa
way to win victories. The British troops have
been making themsolvei invisible in meoou-
dan for sometime and yet they have not suc
ceeded in accomplishing much in that country.
