Oac of the most notablo events connect,
ed with the manufacture of irou waa th
making of the great iron chain which in
1778 KB .vtched across the Hudson river
atWet I'uint to preveut the passage of
British vessels. IxmhIux, In his "Field
Uook of the Kevolution," gives a very lu
tereating account of this work, of which
we can quote ouly the leading facts:
"The iron of which this chain was con
structed was wrought from ore of equal
parts from the Sterling and Long mines in
orange county.
The chain was manufact
ured by Peter Townsend, of Cheater, at
the Sterling Iron works, in the same
rounty, which were situated about twenty
live mile back of West Point. The chain
was completed about the middle of April,
1778, and on the 1st of May it was stretched
across the river and secured. It was fixed
to huge blocks on each shore, and under
cover of batteries on both sides of the
river."
"It It buoyed up," says Dr. Thacher,
writing In 1780, "by very large logs of
about sixteen feet long, pointed at the
ends, to lessen their opposition to the force
of the current at flood and ebb tide. 1 be
logs are placed at short distances from
each other, the chain carried over them
and made fast to each by staples. Then
are also a number of anchors dropped at
proper distances, with cables made fast to
the chain to give it greater stability." The
total weight of this chain was 180 tons.
Mr. Lossing visited West Point in 1848
and saw a portion of this famous chain,
and betellsustbat "there are twelve links,
two clevises, and a portion of a link re
inaining. The links are made of iron bars,
(to and a half inches square, and average
in length a little over twikfee Ji weish
about 100 pounds eah." rt-i3'

CHUCKEli'S TROUSERS.
How far it Is expedient to convert a rail
way carriage into a dressing room Is a ques
tion wbich would be quickly solved in the
segntive in continental countries, where
guards walk along the footboards and col
lect tickets while the train is in motion.
But In England a passenger who likes to
change his attire in a first class compart
ment is, as a rule, pretty secure from in
terruption. At least so thought Mr. B&rnaby Lhuclc-
er, as he alighted from a hansom at Pad
dington and rushed across the platform,
holding a railway rug and a carpet bag,
which contained a complete change of
raiment to wit, dress clothes.
Mr. Chut'ker bad received an Invitation
to dine at Windsor, with some friend of
Influential position, but being a busy man
he had not found time to dress at his office
In tbe city or at his chambers at the West
End. Stepping Into the train he slipped a
hilling into the baud of the guard and
aid:
"Keep this compartment; I want to
dress."
"All right, sir," answered the guard, and
the next moment tbe train started.
Mr. C'bucker then unlocked his crp
bag and drew o". a .-.V -msuuli; with other
euuipmcuts necessary to bis bodily adorn
ment. It must not be supposed that he did this
without reluctance, for he was a great
stickler about all tbe proprieties of life.
He objected to seeiug things out of season.
If be had caught his best frieud changing
his pantaloons in a railway carriage he
would have thought meanly of him for
being of disorderly habits, and so now he
Judged himself with a candid severity for
not having Isvtter regulated his own time.
"If an accident occurred." mused be, as
he removed bis coat aud waistcoat, "I
wonder what would be thought of me for
being half undressed in a train?"
This reflection made him reddeu. He
was a shy, middle aged man, with large
red ears and a fat, ilorld face. The effect
of pulling off bis boots always suffused bis
countenance with crimson and it did j
so now. insomuch that, what with tbe i

Tint lady began to scream. Her nerves,

stared at her. The gentleman armed him
self with an umbrella to protect his wife.

his parti, caught up his own umbrella ana

Alnsl he was not to gift off so easily.
Already there waa a commotion on the
platform.
The husband of the fainting lady bad ex
plained matters to the statiou master; some
Dorters aud guards had overheard him,
and a rumor was circulated that there waa
a lunatic on Ilia train. Some iiassengera,
noking their beads outof the carriage win
dows, protested against travellug iu the
company of a man who might .commit
some mad act set the train on lire, throw
himself out. or emit awful noises. The
statiou master was obliged to pacify these
murmurs by striding toward tbe alleged
maniac's carriage. The all unconscious
Mr. Chucker was rudely aroused by the
door being .Budileniy Qieued and a gruff
voice exclaimmg:
"NoWj sir, what's tbe matter with your"
"Nothing's the the matter with me,"
stammered Mr. Chucker. "What should

rube closer to him with a guilty look.
"Would you mind stepping out, sirf"
"Why should It My ticket ia for Wind

lowering his voice; whereupon tbe station
master echoed in amazement: .

Of course I had, man. i va two pair

many people sturlug at him.
But white he was speaking, some low
churl, seixiug a corner of his rug, gave it a
twitch, and abruptly exposed Mr. Chuck
ler's dishabille to view.
There was a shout of minglod laughter
and dismay among the passengers, some
of whom, being ladies, deemed it expedient
to squeal.
Out you come," roared tbe blushing
station master iu a paroxysm of Indigna
tion, aud be clutched Mr. Chucker by the
wrist.
"Weill but-but let me d dress first,"
pleaded the victim, as he felt not only his
arms but bis legs in the grasp of different
bands. He made a short struggle, but
this did not improve his ositiou. for bis
resistance was ascribed to the maniacal
outbreak, and emboldened bis aggressors
to drag him out of the carriage feet fore
most. He tumbled out lu a heap, and was
then carried acrosa the platform, kicking
and roaring in the sight of a hundred pairs
of astonished or amused eyes.

"Poor mau!" criod someold ones.

bad been conveyed, under strong escort, to
the station master's room, and had been
suffered to don Lis pantaloons, he con
trived to get a hearing and to explain bow.

"Well, but why didu't you tell us this
before?" cried the nonplussed station mas
ter. "Because you wouldn't listen to me, you
beast,!" screamed Mr. Chucker.
"Well, you've missed your traiu and

"and that'll be a lesson to you."
"Lesson of what?" asked Mr. Chucker,
exasperated.
"Lesson why why lesson not to take

James river plantation, in Vlrulula, iu the

more were brought to the plantation. This
was the origin- of the cattle business in

Industry to the fulluMt possible extent an
order was passed forbidding the slaughter
of any animal of the kind under penalty of

One Way of Making a Living.
There seems to ho no limit to the variety
of ways in which a dollar can tie earned by
a sharp witted iii'in. I know one who
makes a comfortable living by attending
auction sal- of fu nil tore. He is not iu
collusion with the nuctionrX-r; in fact be
will ouly attend such stile as are genuine
and peremptory, where every article is sold
for tbe highest figure bid.no mutter how
low that may be. My friend simply trades
on the weakness of human nature, espe
cially of the feminine variety. Many
women attend these sales, and are really
desirous of securing certain articles, but
shrink from the puliliciiy of trying to out
bid some other would-br purcliaser.
Tbey prefer to give two or three dollars
advance on the price paid by the successful
bidder. Tills man secures nil be run of the
best bargains offered, and then disposes of
them at a small advance upou his outlay
to one or other of the disappointed bidders.
It ia not unusual fur him to clear from ten
to twenty dollars a day. There is no loss,
for even if the article are left on his hand
be gets his money back by sending them to
a general miction room. New York Tele
