The i liuzettc's figures show sixty-one at tempts to wreck trains, ami twenty I one attempts to rob them. Mussachu ! setts and Illinois head the list in the I nuiulier of attempts to wreck trains ; and Ohio follows. In these three advanced states were made more than one-half of all the at tempts to wreck trains and the state of New York follows. The only expla nation offered for this preponderance of train wrecking in well settled and. generally speaking, well governed slates is that the mileage of railroads in others, and that tramps, who are re sponsible for most attempts to wreck trams, nourish in thickly settled ! regions.

OaMmr of as InawttoiM Owuttemaa CalhariM'a Tour of Inauecttaa- Some great man in Russia, lYinee Potemkin or another, was commis sioned by Empress Catherine II. to colouize the repion adjoininp the river and provided with the requisite funds. These funds he diverted from their proper use. When the empress came on her tour of inspection she passed down the stream in slow and impressive fashion, borne in a state barpo. Kvery afternoon she siphted a ueat and charminp villape on the bunk. and. poinp on shore, was hailed by a bund of prosperous peas ants in gals attire. Passing from house to house, she would see an abundant meal smoking on the Ixwird, frequently including a roast sucking pig. There was, it is true, a cer tain similarity Wtween one villuge and another; but this was easily ex- ; plained by the fact of all being de signed by the same government archi tect. Ami so the inspection went on. with complete satisfaction to all par ties concerned, till a malicious person in the imperial suite happened to lie think himself of his penknife and while the intelligent cottagers were busy answering Catherine s questions he slyly amputated the tail of the Ruckiug-phy la the next cottage the family wasuliout to repute on the tail less sucking-pig: The main result was that the empress ever after looked with great disfavor on, not IVtemkin, but the ingenious gentleman with the penknife.

II is. apparatus was composed of a pole surmounted by an iron nnl supporting twelve curved branches and terminating in as many metallic boxes tilled with iron on- ar.d 1 inclosed with a wooden lios-like cover. ; This was traversed by twenty-seven iron-pointed roils, the bases of which were connected with the ore hoses. This entire system of wires was united with the earth by a large chain.

In the middle of the rMm was m rais,'d brick platform, on which t-tood two lurtre. oid-fushioned lx stoves, with the stove pipes running for a lonp distance overhead, so as to curry heat to distant parts of the nnim. On the side opposite the entry und in line with tiie stoves was a wooden plat form 1'V the wall, on which stood the master's desk. The seats ran back from the open space across the center, toward either end of the room. There were only two rows of lieuches. with aisles at the sides arid one in the mid dle. The desks, therefore, were lonp, capable of seatinf a Ion? row of pupils, instead of the short ones of modern days, with seats for one only, or two at most. So there was a chance for a pood deal of disturbance when one of the middle boys wished to pet in or out. The pirls occupied Keats at one end of the room and the lys at the other.

A lady who rented a house in Forty-fifth street from the Astors was told that she could have an v re pairs or alterations she wished, btit no chandelier. She had the house deco rated from top to bottom, and many expensive repairs made, and there was not a remonstrance, but she J:ad to supply all the chandeliers, at a cst of sixteen hundred dollars, herself.
