a Horrible Sight,

The telegraph recently gave an &C
count of an explosion in the Cincinnati
Gas Works. There was one victim of
whom we find this description:
Far up on the iron frame work which
supported the immense reservoir, in a
corner against one of the iron columns,
there hung man perfectly naked, with
the exception Of one boot; his face
was blackencd. his hair burned from
his head, and his flesh crisped and
scorched by the terrible heat. There
he hung, removed from human aid, the
most pitiable sight that ever we beheld.
1t was fifteen minutes before the gal
liant firemen placed.their ladder against
the column, and lifted from his peril,
Gus position the poor sufferer, who
bore the stamp and impress of death.
1t was with difficulty that the poor man
was assisted down the ladder, and car.
ricd to the office of the Gas Company
A physician was present, and imme-
diately proceeded to administer such
relief as he was able to under the cir
The agony and torture
which he suffered was terrible in the
extre ne, and it being evident that lie

friends Catholic priest was summon

about six o'clock in the evening, when

One of the most amusing cabals-.a
purely literary one'-was that got up
by the students against poet of the
First Empire, glorying in the name of
Nepomucene Lcmercier, because he had
violated the unities. The students
were as severel y classical then 40 they
are romantic now-behlnd the times in
both cases-and they Kissed The piece
tiercely. Napoleon, l., hearing of the
affair took the side of the poet and or
dered that the piece should be played
again. the director having hesitated
about repeating it. Again it was play
ed, and again it was bisscd. The En-
pcror got excited, "Play it again, and
l will go and see it," he said. A mum.
Der of friends accompanied him. The
first two acts were listened to in silence
When the curtain rose for the third
time the moment at which the Kisses
broke out on tho previous evenings,
leaned fol ward to see wheth-
Ell the students still dared to oppose
their wish to his. A strange spectacle
met his eyes On every side, above
below the spectators had produce
night caps from their pockets, had
drawn them over their ears, and were
sitting with their heads nodding ON
their breasts. The Emperor burst out
laughing and the cause Of poor Nep.
omucene was lost for ever.
