Brown’s wife went to the dentists lately and took gas. The new set of teeth is not ready, nor is she ready ; and so there has been peace in the Brown family for several days. As Brown joyfully remarked, “ Her mouth ts closed for repairs.” An American paper says that a child, eleven years old, was recently sent as a parcel by rail from Kansas, where her parents live, to Philadelphia, a distance o£ 1900 miles, and arrived quite safely at her destination. She bad a ticket hung round her neck, and the railway authorities took and gave a receipt for her, just as if she had been an ordinary express parcel.
