The late Mr. Simoox, of Harbourne, near Birmingham, was on one occasion in London, when be was obliged, in consequence of a heavy shower of rain, to take shelter under an arch- way. The rain continued for a ieng time with unabated violence, and he was coi juent!, »dliged to remain tn his place of shelter, ay though beginning to suffer from his prolonged exposure to the damp and cold atmosphere. ndec these circumstances he was ugreeably surprised when the door of a handsome house agente was opened and a footman in a splen- <lid livery with an umbrella approached with his master’s compliments, and Chat he had ob- served the gentleman standing so long under the archway that he feared he might take vold, and would therefore be glad if he would come and take shelter in his house—an invita- tion which Mr. Simeox gladly accepted. He was ushered into a handsomely furnished dining-room, where the master of the house was sitting. and received from him a kindly welcome. Scarcely, however, had Mr. Sim- sox seteyes on hie host, than he was struck i vague remembrance of having seen him but where, or in what circumstances, he found himself unable to call to mind. The gentleman soon engaged in interesting and animated comvermaiin, which was carried on with increasing mutual respect and confidence; while all the time this remembrance kept con- stantly recurring to Mr. Simcox, whose in- quiring glance at last betrayed to his host what was passing in his mind. ‘You seem, sir,” said he, ‘to look at me as though you had seen me before.”’ Mr. Simcox acknowl- edged that his host was right in his conjec- tures, but confessed his entire inability to re- call the occasion. “You are right, sir,’’ replied the old gentle- saan. “and if you will ledge me your word as + man of honor not to disclose te any one that which Lam now going to tell you, until you have seen the notice of my death in the Lon- ‘lon papers, I have ne objection to remind you where and how you have seenme. In St. James's Park, near Spring Gardens, you way pass every day a man who sweepsa cross- ang there, and whose begging is attended by this strange peculiarity: that whatever be the amount of the alms bestowed on him, he will retain only « half-penny, and will scrupulously return te the donor all the rest. Such an unu- sual ptoceeding naturally excites the curiosity one who has himself made the experiment, when he happens #0 be walking by with a friend, is almost sure tu say to him, ‘Do you see that old fellow there? He is the strangest beggar you ever suw in your life. If you give him six-pence he will be sure to give you five-pence half-penny back again.” Of course his friend makes the experiment, which turns out as predicted; and, as crowds of people are continually passing, there are numbers of persons every day who make the same trial; and thus the old man gets many a half-penny from the curiosity of the passers-by, in addition to what he obtains from their compassion. » [, sir,’ continued the old gentleman, ‘am that beggar. Many years agw I first hit upon this expedient for the relief of my then press- ing necessities, for I was at that time utterly destitute; but finding the scheme answer be- yond my expectations, [ was induced to carry it on until L had at last, with the aid of profit- able investments, realized a handsome fortune, enabling me to live in the comfort in which you find me this day. And now. sir, such is the force of habit, that although I am no longer uurler any necessity for continuing the plan, I find myself quite unable to give it up; and ac- cordingly, every morning, I leave baie ap- parently for business purposes, and go to a room where I put on my old beggar’s clothes, and continue sweeping my crossing in ee park till a certain hour in the a oon, when I go back to my room, resume my usual dress, and return home in time for dinner as you see me this day.” Mr. Simoox scrupulously fulfilled his pledge; but having seen in the London papers the an- nouncement of the beggar’s death, he then communicated this strange story to a friend.— Loudon Paper. —__<6e—-—_ Detaining the Lecomotive We heard the other day of an incident con- nected with the return of some of our Lafay- ette representatives from the late St. Louis fair, which, as it amused us, way amuse some of our readers. The Fair was ever; the Lafay- ette-county party set their faces homeward, and having procured tickets, had the baggage checked, and taken leave of St. Louts friends, sented themselves at the time for starting in one of the cars on the Pacific railroad; but on looking round and counting noses it was dis- covered that one of their number, whom we shall designate C., was absent rtucately somecause of delay detained the train beyond the usual hour; and ufier the lapse of some ten or fifteen minutes Mr. C. made his appearance, puffing and blowing, carpet sack in band, and seated himzelf rmong bis fri «+I was afraid I had been left!” he said, as be had sufficiently recovered breath past the regular time for leaving, isn’t it? what In the world is matter?’ *‘Why,”’ replied one of the party, ~‘it is past the hour, and we would have been gone some time ago. but you see we were waiting for you."’ ‘I wonder'”’ ejacula- ted C. ‘You bad better go and tell the con- ductor you have come aboard.’ pursued the gentleman who had before spoken. C_, being far more familiar with crops and stock than with the manners and customs of railroad travel, (xlbeit he will have the cars running very near his residence ere long.) nothing doubted, and immediately sought out the con- ductor. That official was bus attending to some duty. --Mr. Conductor, [ am here!’” re- marked C The official only looked at him vacantly, aud went on with his business. ** I say, Conductor, I am aboard now, and youcan ge ahead.” again said our friend, laying his hand on his shoulder.

EXHIBITION OF VARIOUS METHODS OF SAVING LIPE AT FIRES. _ Phe German*¥arners gave a public exhibi- tion yesterday, intended to show the practical use which can be made of certain descriptions of apparatus for saving life and property at fires. The place selected for the Purpose was their Gymnasium in Orchard street, and the hour 4} o'clock p. m. A large crowd witnessed the experiments, testifying their admiration by shouts of applause at oe successful termi- nation of each feat. The first thing tried was tke canvas bag, which was similar to that used ata former trial at the City Hall, and which was then fully described. Mounting to the third story by means of their portable fadderr, this instrument was hauled up by means of a cord, which was dropped for the purpose, and fastened to one of the open windows. One per- fon after another, both adults and children, was then placed within its open mouth, and safely descended through it to the sireet, the lower end being held out at an angle which gradually retarded their velocity until they reached the ground. Vurious articles of fur- niture were alzo sent down in the same way without injury. The second were the story- ladders, strongly but lightly built.with a large curved hook xt one end. Standing on the ground, these ladders were raised by one man, who placed the hook over the window-sill of the second story; he then mounted it, closely followed by one or two comrades, each havin; a se Cures belt around his waist, attached to which, by a hook. was a roll of stout cord. While one held on to his companion by the belt to prevent his fall, the same ladder was instantly transferred to the third story, to which the two mounted again, cntering the window, where they were supposed to be ready to rescue any = whose escape has been cut off, and pass him unharmed to the street by means of the canvas bag or the ladders. The Italian ladder, which was the next ar- ticle exhibited, consisted of sections of 3} feet in length, and having only four rounds in each, one part fitting into the other so as to make it very secure. A small wheel at the upper end gave it easy motion as it was pushed up the side of the building until the top of the house was reached. The gymnasts then as- cended and descended upon it, showing with what facility they. at least, could make it available in an extremity for reaching the highest building, in the rear, or at any place where long Tal rs could not be introduced. The last contrivance was the well-known taut blanket, or canvas, which is intended as a der- nier resort, where persons are compelled to throw themselves froin the windows of a burn- ing building to avoid suffocation. It was held by the four corners, strongly supported by as many Turners, while one of their number jemped into it from the third story, and landed without injury The entire exhibition was novel and highly satisfactory, showing that in the hands of so experienced gymnasts, at least, these contri- vance~ can be put to excellent use in saving life, when the ordinary means have failed. It was stated by Dr. (iaerdner, under whose su- pervision the exhibition was made, that it was not the purpose of the Turners to organize a distinct company or to interfere in any way with the established routine of the firemen, hut they would probably invite the Common Council and Board of Engineers to witness their experiments at some time and place con- venient to themselves, and if. after full inves- tigation, their plans should be approved, they would co-operate with the department in every way to give efficiency to the now undertaking. N.Y. Times. ——_—-2+e—_______ On the 27th ult., John M. Roberts, a jewelerjef Pittsburgh, Pa., brought suit in the istrict "Court of that city, against James Swisshelm, of Swissvale, for a gold watch, seal, and key, valued at $150, furnished by said Roberts to Jane (. Swisshelm, wife of said James. After a statement by plaintiff's coun- sel, and examination of witnesses, the counsel for Mr. Swisshelm referred to various authori- ties, and asked the Court to charge, first, that plaintiff cannot recover unless he prove that the goods sold and delivered were necessaries and that defendant's wife had separated froin him for good cause; second, that the contract of the wife can only bind the husband fur necessaries in case he neglects or refuses to furnish her with such necessaries; third, if the wife voluntarily deserted and abandoned her husband, and persists therein, without good cause, the defendant is not liable for debts for necessaries or otherwise; fourth, the defendant is not liable for the debts of the wife for any purpose, unless his assent appears by express evidence, or by proof of facts and circum- stances from which it may reasonably be in- ferred. The jury found for the defendant. The verdiet goes to show that if a woman volun- tarily separates from her husband, and leaves his house, he is not responsible for her debts, even though they were incurred for the com- mon necessaries of life. ig The Pittsburgh Post, in speaking of the coal oil discoveries of western Pennsylvania, says:—‘' It is known that at Fredonia, in New York, there is a natural gas which is used for lighting the town. But Fredonia lies some thirty or forty miles immediately north of the point where this natural oil is found. There is an almost certain connection between thesc two products. We find first the vast bituminous coal region, perhaps a hundred and fifty miles long by fifty or more broad. Twenty miles be- yond its termination the coal is found in the shape of oil. Some thirty or forty miles fur- ther north, and in the same line, it is found in the shape of gas. This surely is very remarka- ble, we wonder that it has not excited the attention of scientific men, so that we might have some reliable rationale of the subject. Meanwhile we hope to hear that the oil region of Venango has turned out to our northwestern friends of a veritable California.”’ Tux Ruope Istaxp Bovnpary Linz.—The Senate, yesterday, by a vote of 19 to 11, concurred in the fe of the Boundary bill, with an im- portant amendment proposed by Mr. Fairbrother, of North Providence. Ihe amendment gives to Rhode Island the whole of the town of Pawtuck- et, anda large portion of Seekonk, or part that which lies west of a prolongation of the east line of Pawtucket to the boundary of Barrington. It leaves the towns of Swanzey and Westport as they now are, in Massachusetts, and also retains 11 Rhode Island that portion of Tiverton which lies east of the Wattuppa pond, where so much oppo- sition came from against being transfer: to Massachusetts. Wohetber this line is more ad- vantugeous or not to the people of Rhode Island, Weare un to say; but as it makes the change less it removes much of the opposition that existed, both in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
