An escape tWnn death as wonder ful as auy ever related by the pen of fiction was made by an individ ual on the Detroit and . Milwaukee Railroad a few nights ago, as chron icled by the Fret Press of the for. rrter city, tt seems tnat an un known man was permitted to ride on top of a freight train on his 'ftp- to pay his way to brand tttptaV, and was willing b do anything he was called on to do in coirjren. tion. I he brakemau forgot to tell him of tlie several low bridges on the route; and about midnight, when the engineer, having discov ered cattle on tlie road, whistled "dowu brakes," tlie stranger was the first Up from the caboose. In running forward over the cars, he suddenly observed the dark form of a bridge close above him. There was scarcely time to think, atid as bf instinct, lie sprang, off when within a foot of. tttt Averhaugiiig trVcture, and striking a sloping embaukraeut, fell down, aud rolled to; tlie track wM JP. of, the wheels caught his boot Iteel, crwrfifld it off close t the sole, and whirled him around so that the next wheel sheared off the Tim Of his hat.

Here's a story that 'ays mosv of 'em in the shade. It'is iaken fronia Nrew York aper. In Troy. N. Y., they have a colored man, the seventh son ot a seventh daughter, who has the faculty of moving the wall of his abdomen ; shifting his, ribs directly over his bowels; changing the position of the heart to the right breast, and Misjieuding tlie pulse and heart beats. In addition to the abnormal teats, he has traveled all over the world ; has been awarded a diplo ma at the Kdinbnrg Medical t'ni versity; speaks l-'rencb, bermaii, lirtnguese, Hottentot and Hebrew; hati had ,two- wivies and twelve Children ; bends a bar of iron severt eigths of an inch ih thickness, over his fore-arm; and has fought twice in the prize ring. If there is any. thing erse that this wonderful ne gro can do, itjs not narrated ; but wha little he Can do is only anoth er proof of the remarkable achieve ments ot American genius and en terprise It may be added that he lias a brother in Paris who is six feet and two inches high, and has tlie wonderful power of shutting himself up like a telescope to the height of three feet two inches. An English writer asserts that "the decay of wood arises Trom in ternal and hot' external moisture; fence the danget of shakes, a they admit it ofterftb 1 tlie very" cerittf ; and so long as free evaporation is allowed decay will not very readily sot in. It wdaid be very absurd to say that ito faint ought to be used in the interior of a house, but it is certain that a 'piece of wood painted on both side Will not last nearly so long as one1 not. fnted at all.
