Joseph JeffetKm Declined a TTnlqae Money Making Proposition. k Several Jweeks ago when Mr. Jefferson iiras playing Rip Van Winkle at the Walnut Street theater he found among kis mail one morning a letter from a fur- -aiiture man. The epistle, which was trritten on a letter head adorned with a large cut of a folding bed "closed" and "opened," read as follows: Sir. Jefferson: v SIB--I saw you play Rip Van Winkle last " -aight, and I have a proposition to make *o you. When the curtain goes up on the v thini act, and you rise all stiff and son after your long sleep, you might say a few $ Words something like this: "Oh, how stiff I am!

A curious instance of delay in deliver­ ing a newspaper by post has been %ronght to light at the general postoffioe. Some alterations are being made in the newspaper department, and on the re­ moval of an iron girder which had sup­ ported the roof a few papers blackened •with age were discovered. One was a a copy of the Wakefield Journal for Aug. 17, 1866. It was addressed to Buckingham Road, De Bean voir Town, and as it was posted long before the t halfpenny stamp was invented it bore the old red penny stamp. The paper had evidently reached London "in course ]^ of post," and by some unexplained chance had got into the hiding place where it had lain all these years. It has y now been sent for delivery, but whether the addressee has been found after the long interval does not appear. Perhaps ; he or she, like the paper itself, has in the meantime died; at any rate, the Wake- y field Journal has no place in recent press directories.---Blackburn (England) Tunes.

J., has been suc­ cessful in performing an operation ot great interest to medical men. A short time ago he clipped off the tops of two fingers with a pair of ehears. In experi­ menting for a remedy he successfully grafted chicken claws on his disabled fingers. A couple of weeks ago the . claws, which had been carefully band­ aged to his fingers, began to grow, and since then they have shown a decided development. Stoga can now use his new fashioned finger nails with consid­ erable effect. |?V .sf'% -j It is the only bow (ring) which cannot be pulled from the watch. To be had only with Jas.
