Dreadful Fall Of a Girl from the Ira.
nnZn-

From the st. Louis Democrat, November u.
The daring feats of a young girl
known as Mile Zagrino, who is only
fourteen years of age, have for some
time excited the admiration OF the
habitues of the Varieties Theater.
Mounted upon a bar hanging twenty
five feet above the floor, this beautiful
child would balance herself, with
arms outstretched and smile upon
her face, and then swinging in long
oscillations, stand upon one foot, look
ing more like creature of the air
than being of the earth.
Last night Mile Zagrino was going
through her usual trapeZe perform
ances, and had come TO that part
where she stands on one foot. with
the bar in rapid motion, when she
lost her balance. She attempted to
grasp the bar with her hands, but
missed it, and fell headlong upon the
floor inside of the orchestra railing,
striking on her right hand and break
ing her wrist. A deep cash was also
cut in her forehead, and her shoulder
was severely bruised.
y cry of horror arose from the au-
dience as the girl fell, and men started
up in the widest excitement. Every
cheek turned as pale as ashes, and
men and women became as tremulous
as though stricken with palsy.
On striking the floor near the bass
viOl, the girl lay still, and it was sup
] posed that she was dead. Her father,
who had been watching the perform
ance from the stage, at once came for
ward and lpaninU intO the orchestra
/ lifted up the lifeleSs form of his
daughter and placed her upon the
stage. She was then carried behind
the scenes, and three physicians sent
for. The audience were informed
that Mile ZagrinO was only slightly
injured, and the show went On-twO
comic songs being next on the pro-
gramme.
In few minutes the girl revived,
and was able to speak. She said she
felt no great pain except in her wrist,
and begged the doctors not to disturb
her. No other bones were broken eX-
cept at the wrist. Such were the
statements of the ushers, but the au-
dience were of the opinion that the
injuries were of more serious nature,
and considering that the fall was an
unbroken one of twenty-five feet, it
would be strange if severe internal
injuries were not the result. =
Since writing the above the girl has
been removed to the Everett House.
The physicians report that both her
wrists are broken, and that her in
juries are of a serious nature. The
wound on the head is quite severe.

The National Credit.

Everything seems TO be working IA
vorably towards an appreciation OF the
national credit. For the whole of the
three months, ending 30th Of September,
the aggregate receipts were S1l2, ,l95, ~,
and the payments 81, 2,767 ,9S2, Of which
sum thirty-seven and half millions
were for interest, and thirty-fiye millions
for the general expenditure of the Gov
ernment. The Secretary had thus an
accumulating balance Of fOrty-nine mil
lions during the quarter towards paying
off the principal Of the debt. With this
money he has bought forty-One millions
of bonds, on which he has paid premi-
um of IS. .322, ,79I. II we look at the spe-
cific items of which these aggregates are
composed, we shall find abundant reason
for qualification. The customs duties
amounted to % millions, against A mil
lions for the previous quarter, and 40 mil
lions for the foregoing one. The internal
revenue Welded AZ millions, against So
millions for the June quarter, 81 millions
for the March quarter, and 30 millions for
the quarter ending December, 1868.
For the quarter ending September
so, Of last year, the internal taxes yield
ed no more than SO millions. Nothing
more satisfactorily proves the efficiency
with which the internal revenue is col
Iected, and it is not possible but that the
national credit will steadily improve.

Use Of Lime in Agriculture.

The action of lime is two fold; first,
physical, and second, chemical. As a
mechanical agent it opens stiff elays,
rendering them friable, mellow and more
easily worked chemically, II acts upon
the vegetable matter of the soil and sets
free those stores Of valuable substances
which. without the action Of this agent
must have remained inert and useless.
n also enters directly into the compost
ton OF plants, and in many varieties
forms large proportion Of the weight OF
their inorganic constituents 1t neutral
ICES certain acids which are often present
in soils, rendering them useful to vege-
tation, instead of being positively injuri-
Gus, which they are in their original
state. The existence OF water in the soil
however, affects the action of lime very
considerably. Irthe land is wet and I'M
drained, lime will not exert the same in
huence which it would do in the case OF
thoroughly drained land. A greater
quality of lime is necessary to produce
given effect, and thus the neglect o.
thorough drainage entails considerable
greater expenditure in Inning than
would have been necessary, II the Iahu
