Simmons, Sec'y. MRS. langtry. Mr. Joseph Hattou, the well ia formed London correspondent of the New-York Times, writing of Mrs. Langtxy,who has adopted the stage as a profession, says that Mr. John Hollingsbead offered her $1,000 a week for a mo ith's ap pearance, which she declined, say ing, "I would rather have a mod erate salary in a company where I could learn my profession, and have a permanent position." She gets $300 a week at the Hay mar ket, ond $50 a week for each morning performance, which gives her about $400 salary. It ia un derstood she hopes in due time to visit the United States, where her husband has property. There is no truth in the cuerent belief that she does not live with him. It is true that his current income is not sufficient for her requirements and that is the only reason why she has joined the profession." A Miunesota preacher fainte'l away after having married a couple and bad to be worked over two hours before be was restored to consciousness If it acts that way on the preacher, just think of tne poor bridegroom 1 Impatience gives adversity its THE KING AND THE MILLER. Near Sans, Souci, the favorite residence of Peter the Great, there was a mill which interfered with the view from the palace. One day the king sent tf inquire whe-t tne owner would fake f-r l be mil'; and the unexpected answer catno back that the miller would not sell it for any money. The king, much incensed, gave orders that the mill should be pnlled down. The miller made no resistanae, but folding bis arms, quietly re marked: 4,The king may do this, but there arc laws in Prussia." And ho took legal proceedings', the resmc of which wan the kiug had to rebuild the mill and be sides pay a good sum of money in coropeneanon. Atieugh his majesty was much c'o,:rit'd at this nd of the gwvNt lv put the bent faci h? coni.i ujvn i". tr-d taming to lii tv: nr. .rs hr-. r,. itiaikcd : H am gla-1 to H;h? there are just Ian d upnpbt judgwi in my kin-d iu." A sequel to tuns incident oc curred fo?iy years ago. A de scendant of tbti milkr of whom we have just been spiking had come in possession of the mill. After having struggled for several years against ever increasing poverty, and being at leugih quite unabltt to keep on with his busi ness, he wrote to the King of Piussia, remindiugof the incident which we have jnst related, and stating that, if his majesty felt so disposed, ho fihould be very thankful in his present difficulty to sell tbo mil!. The king wrote the following reply with his own hand : "My Dear Neighbor I cannot allow ycu to sell the mill. It must always be in your possession, as long as one of jour family ex ists, for it belongs to the history of Prussia. I regret, however, to hear that you are i;i &uch strained circurnstaneee, and there fore send you six thousand dolhvs, in the hope that it may bo oi some service iu restoring your fortunes. Consider me your afiVc'ionate neighbor. Frederic William. HOUSES BUIIT OF COTTON. Of all substances apparently the least likely to bo used in the construction of a fire proof build ing, cotton would, perhaps, take the first rank, and paper the second ; and yet both these ma terials are actually being employed for the purpose indicated, and theii' use will probably extend. Compressed paper pulp is success fully ued in the uwiuiacture of doors, wall poinding and for other eimilar purposes, with tbe result that all link of warping and cracking is obviated, while increased lightness is obtained and tbe fear of dry rot is forever banished. Papier-macho, afx'er having servt-tl a useful purpose in an obtrusive manner for years aa a material for small trays, paper knives, and other such light arti cles, has now suddenly aasumod a still more important position in the industrial world. A still more sudden. and striking advance baa been made in the employment of cotton aa a building material. A preparation called celluloid, in which cotton is a leading ingredient, has been used lately as a substitute for ivory in the manufacture of Buch articles as billiard balls, etc., and now a Canadian manufacturer has in vented a process by which compressed cotton may be used notmereiy for doors and window frames, but for the whole facade of large buildings. The enormous and increasing demand for paper for its uornjal uses as a printing and writing material preveiilw the extended use of papier-macho r.8 a building material, for which i, i8 so wll suited in so many ways; out tne production ot cotton is practically unlimited. Constable Jones held an exe cution against a farmer, and when he called for a settlement the agriculturist took him out into a big pasture and pointed out a wild steer aa the particular piece of property to be levied upon. Jones chased the steer around for a while and then sat down and taking out bis book began to write. "What are you doing there!' asked the granger. "Charging raileage,'J replied the constable, without looking up. "Do I have it all to pay I" gasped the rancher. "You ' bet;" 'Tnen take this tame heifer here. I can't stand any such game as that." .
