A Young Lady KILLED by a Wad
from "a Cannon

On Tuesday night, at Portsmouth.
n. H., Miss Ann Maria Martin. daugh-
ter of Mr.. Thomas Martin, died from
the effects Of singular wound received
on Saturday, when salute was fired
from the yacht Zinga. Expecting a
display of fire works from the Zinga, as
she was coming in, large number OF
people had gathered on the wharf A
salute from a two pound cannon was
fired on board the yacht. The wad was
OF waste cotton, and of course was very
dense; and although the muzzle of the
gun was judged to be depressed far be-
low the wharf, yet, being pointed tow
ards the people the wad struck Miss
Martin, broke several steel hoops in
her skirt, and one of them cut fearful
cash across the lower portion of her
body, allowing the intestines to protrude
She was taken home as soon as possible
though the bystanders had no idea of
the nature of the terrible injury she had
received. To some who crowded
around her and annoyed her with ques-
lions, where she was hurt and how
much, she replied in great agony =
"1o on do not know how much | am
hurt. Take me home that l may die
with my mother"

A Singular Phenomenon.
The Ottawa (Canada) Citizen says:

d.. AhS OOO@"@ \Cc"h"NNJ O'''"N'N
Gone day last week, while some La
borers were removing stone from a
quarry in this vicinity, they came upon
stone measuring between three and
four feet in length, some eighteen
inches in width, and about eight inches
thick, bearing on its surface the unmis-
taxable impress of two human feet, the
largest that of an Indians right, and
the smaller that of squaw.s moccas-
sind foot, sunk about three fourths of
an inch in the solid stone. We have
seen the stone, and the strange i'm
pressions it bears, but have to leave
the enigma to be explained by those
better posted in things beneath the
earth than ourselves. To the curious
it affords a theme for study, which
would no doubt be interesting. The
stone has been preserved, and is as SOL
id as any piece Of granite finding a
place in the new parliament buildings"

American Citizens Going TO Eu-
rome.

According to the New York Herald,
the number of American citizens going
to Europe this year is unprecedented.
Already ten thousand must have left in
steamers, and the season is not yet over.
tits estimated thateach traveller spends
on an average $4,000. The total
amount spent by ten thousand persons
would thus be $4,000, oOo-ftty mil
lions American travel must therefore
benefit Europe in very great degree.
Since the Atlantic has been bridged
by steam, and America has been brought
nearer to Europe than many parts Of
Europe are to eachother, the inter-
course between the United States and
the Old World has increased in Won
derful degree.

Written for the B.Centenual Celebration Of the sc

Two hundred times has June renewed
Her roses since the day
When here, amid the lonely wood,
Our fathers met to pray.
Beside this gentle stream that aged
Though painless woodlands then,
The calm, heroic woman prayed,
And brave, undaunted men.
hymns on the ancient silence broke,
From hearts that faltered not,
And understanding lips that spoke
The free and guiltless thought.
Theyprayed and thanked the Mighty One;
Who made their hearts so strong,
And led them towards the setting sun,
Beyond the reach Of wrong.
For them he made that desert place
A pleasant heritage
TIE era born race
From peaceful age TO age.
The plant they set-a little vine
Hath stretched its boughs afar,
To distant hills and streams that shine
Beneath the evening star.
Ours are their aelds-these fields that smile
With Summers early flowers;
o, let their fearless scorn of guile
Andlove Of truth be ours

For centuries past the Jews of
Mesopotamia have been in the habit Of
making yearly pilgrimages to the tomb
Of Ezekiel, within some so miles of Bag
dad. On their arrival some weeks ago
however, Nouri Moustapha Pasha, the
new governor of the province, publish
ed prohibition against the practice,
alleging that the tomb was equally ven
Grated by the Musselmans, and that he
intended to build over it mosque for
the special use ofzIslamite pilgrims, by
whom it would for the future be exclu-
sively visited. In vain did the excluded
Israelites urge the prerogative of cen
turtles; the new governor was deaf to
every argument that could be used
Thereupon the Jews despatched a de-
putation to Constantinople, to carry
their complaint direct to the Porte
This has been done, and a vizier1al let
ter was despatched to Bagdad, ordering
the bigoted prohibition to be at once
removed.

POISONOUS WALL PAPER.-An intel
igent writer informs us that arsenic is
sometimes used in the manufacture of
paper hangings, for the purpose of
heightening and improving the color.
A quality Of paper, of an apple green
color, very beautiful, and giving a cool
appearance to chambers, has been found
positively dangerous to life, being col
ored with arsenical admixtures. All
who occupy rooms hung with this pa
per, as well as the paper hangers them
selves, have been seriously effected by
the poisonous exhalations which it
throws off. Caution should be used in
the choice of green paper hangings.

he was the most extensive vessel owner

for his strict integrity as he was for
his business activity.

How a Browning ESoy was Re-
sgssciGased.

The Watertown Democrat gives the
following of the manner in which boy
named Henry Steinfeld, who was near
ly drowned at that place, few days
ago was restored. He was taken from
the water apparently dead:
The following treatment was en-
Iployed in the effort to resuscitate Hens
ry Steintield, which was successful: The
boy was Invested of his clothing and
was Immediately wrapped III blanket
Irung out of hot water. Artificial res
ipiration was then used for short
time. He was next placed on a bar
rel, the face being downward and roll
ed backward and forward until large
quantity Of water and air was expelled.
w arm water was constantly poured on
the blanket which soaked through, Civ
ing him the benefit ofits heat without
the risk OF exposure. Friction was also
constantly kept up. Artificial respira>
ton was again resorted to, and again
he was placed on the barrel, and in
about 2 minutes after the treatment
was commenced, the first signs of life
were noticed. The first efforts at re-
spiration were so feeble and far be-
tween that artificial respiration was
employed to fill up the intervals until
the breathing became matter of fact,
when he was allowed to struggle for
himself.

IT'S true that l have fiirted

With many pretty girl,
And praised each golden ringlet,
And kissed each flowing curl;
IT'S true that have told them,

That W 18th them life was heaven
Without them, must die;
But when they proved unfaithful
Perhaps may have sighed,
But really, 'pon my honor,

And am only happy
