The Fall Of the Coliseum.

The Boston Idrertiser gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the fall of the
Coliseum in the great gale. The watch
man, Samuel Wilson, tells an interest.
ing story in relation to the fall of the
building. He states that just as the
hurricane was at it's height and when
the blast was surging and beating
against the building, he went up to the
organ for an umbrella. At that time he
felt instinctively that the building
would come down, for although it did
not yield as yet, the noise of the blast
showed that the pressure was enormous.
He thought at first that he would go
again to the organ and place a pan there
TO catch some rain that was leaking,
but finally concluded not to do SO,
which decision probably saved his life
He had not left the organ moro than
two minutes, and was talking to a boy
near one of the east entrances, whom
he saw the orchestra end fall in with a
crash. In an instant the wind swept
through the Building and pressed out
the opposite end, while the roof began
to blow away in huge pieces like a
pack of cards. The air was filled with
flying timbers, threatening death and
injury to passers-by. Seven women and
three men had taken shelter IN the
building and were waiting for cab.
Wilson, thinking that the whole struc-
ture would come down, ran out of the
building. The women followed him,
but were almost unable to face the furi-
rious blast which ragged with such re-
lentless fury outside. Wilson afterward
ran back to save a dog in the office,
and which, like Tam O'Shanter's mare,
seemed so bewildered or panic
stricken that he would not stir. Here
he was surprised to find two women
who had run back. He told them to
run out, or they would be killed. They
ontreated, in accents of terror, to stay
where they were. He pushed them out,
and, passing amid shower of falling
timber, they got to place of safety.
On leaving the building a second time,
Mr.. Wilson witnessed the accident to
Mr.. G. NJ. Clark. He states tn 1t when
he first saw that gentleman he appeared
TO be up in the air, having been forced
there by the wild blowing up the wood.

The editor of the Bsyonne Herald is
almost broken. hearted because Mis.

Byron scandal; but hope comes as a
blessing, and whispers that the memory
of George Washington may be attacked,
and we shall yet enlighten the world

cury's most tropical style, and well pep
pered with appropriate poetry OF p
somewhat erot:c character. But we di-
gress. Now for the true history of the
Byron scandal. Sitting on the piazza
of the rLatourette House on Tuesday
evening, a venerable gentleman of the
Regency told the following tale of Lord
Byron's separation from his intellectual
but practical wife. .
1t appears that his lordship was one
day in his study, deeply wrapt in po-
etic frenzy, when the door was suddenly
opened, and the cold, calm face of Lady
Byron startled him from his ecstatic rev.
erie with the question:
"George, my dear, shall we have NUT
ton for dinneri Now, do put away
those horrid books. How do abomin-
ate poetry Can't you sell out that
business to Mr.. Moore or Sheridan
They will give you good price. Papa
says you ought to devote your time and
talents to the agricultural interests IN
stead of writing stupid verses about
Miss Chaworth. But what are You GO

me. It's very annoying to leave all that
responsibility to me. Shall we have a
potato salad, of which you are SO fond,
or -"
"Oh, my dear, have what you please,
but, for goodness sake, don't interrupt
me now"
"Well, indeed! You seem to think
you have no responsibility in house
keeping. What stuff is this (taking up
a manuscript)i Lara l suppose he is
another pirate, like the Corsair.
George, it's pteposterous in you writing
this nonsense, when the fishmonger is
down stairs and wants the bill settled.

Darling, here is my purse; now do let

"But, George, Lady little Tattle is in

you to receive her; won't you. !"
"No, l won'p (getting angry.)
Lady Byron, haughtily-"I hope / am

She retires Indignantly, and meeting
a genial confident and general spy, her
former governess, they worry the un-
fortunate poet BY constant Interruptions
into state of fenzy, and then send fol
a physician to ascertain the cause.
Byron, however, rather surprises her
with separation and takes a sudden
trip to the continent, because he knew
that hell had no fury like a woman
scorned. This is the true history of the
separation.

The Gold amblers..

The gold gamblers of Wall street had
a high old time yesterday, as may be
seen by reference to our money market
reports. The premium fluctuated rap
idly and extravagautly, 80 and % rep
reseuting the extremes. Some made
fortunes in moment, while others lost
them as rapidly. A more exciting
siege in Wall street than that OF yester-
day, showing as it does the eli
max of three days period of
remarkable huctuation, has not
been witnessed for long time.
People would fee! very little interest in
the result if the gamblers alone wore
affected. Unfortunately, their opera
tious affect business throughout the
entire country, and if they continue to
maintain the reckless, desperate char
acter that marked them yesterday, may
bring many an honest and innocent
business man to ruin.

away in silent ysstness at orr feet; the
sound of its waves scarcely reached our

From the Cincinnati Commercial, Rad.l
The Critical Importance Of Hamilton
County.

The Volksblatt is at pains to say, every
day, that il is supporting the Republi-
can State ticket Perhaps it is; but we
believe the Republicans generally in the
State are not delighted with the char
acter of the support given. THERE is q
consciousness throughout the State that
the pending election is one of extraor-
binary Importance. Our own opinion
is that the election is more important
than any that has taken place since the
Brough and Vallandigham campaign;
and that the rote of Hamilton county is of
more consequence this time than 1t has erer
been in the history of the country. The
vote in the State will probably be close.
1t is not only possible, but even probable
that the vote of this county may
be decisive in the State election, and
determine the character of the Legisla-
ture. The election of Pendleton would
mean reaotion-reaetion in the South
in the Democratic party-and reaction
means going back into the troubles
from which we are Just emerging. This
gubernatorial campaign is intimately
associated, in half q dozen ways that
all politicians understand, with the
next Presidential campaign; and the
next Legislature will have to ratify or
reject the Fifteenth Amendment, and
divide the State into Congressional Dis
tricts; aud if Democratic, will, of course,
make such shifting of majorities as to
change half a dozen districts from Re-
publican to Democratic.
The Volksblatt theory that the contest
here is merely local, is a stupidity or a
fraud. Hamilton county was never 80
distinctly the battle-ground of national
issues. 1t is the centre of the tho Re
publican line, and should be impregna-
BILE; but we have Mr.. Hassaurek, and
Fred. Mayer, and Michael Cooper, and
few others led away like parcel of
sheep by Washington Mclean, the man
ager of the Pendleton party. Mr.. Nc
Lean has Mr.. Hassaurek and squad in
bis hands, and expects to make them as
useful as one of Sam Cary's secret
leagues; the main object is to induce
Republican workingmen to vote for
Democratic candidates for the Legisla.
