A TERRIBLE DRAMATIC CRITIC. is for
tunate for the actors in our theatres at the
present time that theatrical criticism does not
take the form it did some years ago-ln one
instance at least in this city lion: James
Blair, who was representative IN congress
from South Carolina from 1921 to 1922, and
from 1929 to 1884, attended a play at the
Washington Theatre one evening". early lr
March, 1884 when in state OF partial lntoxl-
cation. The performance dlspleased him 10
that degree that he drew his pistol and fired at
the actors on the stage, the bullet passing just
above the head of Miss Jefferson, daughter of
Joe Jefferson, Sr. The actors stampeded from
the stage, and quick curtain was rung down.
Presently Mr.. Ingersoll, the stage-mapager,
appeared, looking pale aud agtated, and said
10 the audience: Ladies and gentlemen, If
there is to be shooting at the actors On the
stage, it will be impossible for the performance
to 90 on About three week afterwards
March 27, 1884 Mr.. Blair blew out his own
brains with his pistol at his boarding house,
on Capitol Hill Wash Chronicle.
SOLUTION OF A PUZZLE. A lady friend sends

which appeared in the Examiner on the 10th

Or,, to explain the hiernglyphics-
- If thegrate B mt put colon;

A Live Pdnther i'm Tuscarapvas
COunty-The FerOciOus Animal
Attempts 10 Kill a Man.

Just as we go to press we learn that
great excitement exists in Franklin and
Lawrence townships, on account OF the ap-
pearance, in that part of the county, of a
live panther. The animal has been seen by
several persons at various times. A few
days ago Mr.. Henry Haas saw it in the
bushes, between Bolivar and Strasburg,
and supposing at first thatit was a tox--as
he caught glimpse of its head only-he
was about to shoot at it; but when he saw
its entire body he lowered his gun and
made tracks for life. 1t was broad day
light, and he says that he thinks the ami
NAL measures not less than six feet in
length.
On last Sunday, Mr.. Stanbury was rid
ing on horseback, on the road from Stras-
burg to Bolivar. When he arrived on
whst is known as Domer's hill, he saw the
panther approaching him at the top of its
speed. Believing that death stared him in
the face, he put whip to his horse and fled
as fast as the faithful beast could carry him,
The enran9ed panther pursued Mr.. Stan
bury for a distance of half a mile. when it
gave up the chase, and retired to the woods.
The hills in that section abound in rocks
and wild solitary forests and ravines, and
would afford tolerably safe lurking place
for panthers. The citizens, we are inform
ed, are talking about the propriety of or
ganizing grand hunt, for the purpose of
capturing or killing the animal. We will
report progress. -1uscdrdtods Chronicle.

2 A writer in the Memphis (Tenn.) Aua-
lGncbe describes a great natural wonder,
said to have been discovered by two Eng
lish noblemen in Arkansas, near the st.
Francis river, and the boundary which sep
arateS Missouri and Arkansas. 1t Is called
moving 'smass of rock" In that section
is a strip of limestone, or green stone,
ranging from between one to two miles in
width. 1t is interspersed here and there
with plats of land, in many cases over an
acre in length, peculiarly rich in soil, and
making the strange and perhaps hitherto
unknown conformation of a swampy and
rocky soil. The water from the st. Francis
pours in, especially in the spring and fall
seasons, in a heavy volume. The stream,
although its current is swift beyond paral-
lei, takes zig-Zag course through
the rocks, being particularly swift
at the above mentioned extremity, and
again empties into the St. Francis. At
this extremity is solid mass of rugged
and picturesque rock, almostoval in shape,
washed on all sides by rapid current, and
moves directly and regularly back and
forward; always in motion and creating a
deep and heavy sound, which can be heard
for miles. At first its motion is hardly
perceptible to the ordinary vision, but as
sound increases and the strange eye rests
more directly and minutely, the object be-
comes palpable. On either side of the
immense movable substance, which, as we
have said before, is surrounded by a swift
current, are here and there eddies threat
ening instant destruction to everything
coming within its yawning and awful reach.
The mass of rock is covered with wild
vegetation, which grows up thickly and
spontaneously. .ee
Aportion of the rock lies directly under
the base of the mountains, and as it is al
ways moving. is washing the sides gradu-
ally, away. What has produced such an
unparalleled wonder demands investiga-
tion from the scientific world. IT gases
can cause earthquakes-if currents DIVA
ter can cause whirlpools and mammoth
maestroms, why not certain currents of
electrical character cause ponderous
masses of rocks to revolve? The PROPOSE
tion is, can science explain this wonderful
freak of nature? What causes the rock to
revolve? Is it peculiar combination of
gases, or what is il?

The British Soldier

Recruiting for the British military SER
vice ought to be very easy work, if the
following paragraph from the Arnay and
NdUy Gazette tells the truth: ''Fhere is
great joy in Aldershott and all over the
world, no doubt, as Sir John Pakington's
memorandum circulates from station to
station concerning the accumulated two
pences which will be poured into the lap of
the soldiers of the Queen. 1t will give
manya man chance of wiping off arrears
and Starting fair; it will prove the
basis OF little. bank account to others !;
to somehow many, we dare not antici-
pate-it will be so much money to spend
in the alehouse, the canteen and cognate
resorts. The conduct of the soldier, and
the way in which he uses his money, will
be fair tests of the conditions of the SOL
dier's mind. Now, he is by far the best
paid soldier in the world. Fed beyond
comparison with rations such as no foreign
army dreams of, with system of rewards
carried to the greatest extent possible,
we'll lodged and well clad, a provision Sc
cured for old age if he remains in the
service, with status in public estima-
tion greater than it ever was before, with
prospects such as never existed of promo
tion in and from the non-commissioned
classes, and with a certainty of employ
ment if he leaves with good character, the
British soldier, with his eanteens, institutes,
lectures, recreation grounds, gardens, med
ical supervision and care, is, beyond doubt,
one of the most looked after, if not the best
off, of the human family"
And yet he is after all only 8 slave-and
burden on the English public.

THE superintendent of prominent in
sane asylum in Boston notices in his last
report an alarming increase in the number
of its inmates, whose insanity has been
produced by drunkenness. He writes that
''the excessive drinking ofwines and ardent
spirits has brought insanity upon many
persons during the last year. This indul-
gence seems to be increasing very greatly,
and its consequences are indeed alarming.
More persons, and chiefly young men,
either positively insane, or who have been
seriously damaged, mentally and physical
ly, by this cause, have come under our pro-
fessional observation, or have applied here
for advice and relief during the last year,
than we can remember before in the same
length of time" The managers of insane
asylums elsewhere, we think, can endorse
this statement.-Phild.L Ledger.

long, and eleven or twelve inches wide,

A small sawmill mounted on substantial

be used in moving the boat from place to

A year ago or so a ruffian in New Y ork in
playful moment cut his mistress throat
from ear to ear, and she died in great agony.
He was arrested, tried, condemned, and
will soon be hung. The beautiful con-
dition of his mind appears in the announc-
ment that he will "meet his fate in the
spirit Of true Christian. The Sisters of
Mercy are welcome visitants to his cell !;
and, under the influence of their gentle
teachings, his sorrows are made joys, his
heart-griefs burdens that pain not, but
strengthen for the coming struggle, and all
things that breed dark forbodings to sug
gest thoughts of b stter things to come in
better world beyond the grave" The
into a nameless grave, forgotten, unwept.
is ofcourse not one of those " heart-griefs,"

The Louisville Suspension Bridge across
the Ohio will, when completed, be the larg-
est bridge across that river, surprising the
one recently completed at Cincinnati. The
foundation stone of the Louisville bridge
was laid last week. The total length of the
bridge will be 1920 feet, or nearly one mile.
The graded approaches will be 2500 feet in
length, and the superstructure, consisting
of iron suspension trusses, will rest on 25
piers and two abutments. The longest
span will be three hundred and sixty feet
thirty six feet longer than the longest
span of the Victoria bridge at Montreal
This bridge will be adapted to the use Of
steam and horse railroads, carriages and
foot passengers. The lowest projecting
points of the long spans will not be less
than ninety feet above low water. The
highest known rise of the Ohio river is
forty-four feet, so that even in the event of
another like it, there would still be fifty
two feet between the lower part of the
bridge and the water.
