Heaven, and prays for fash 10 strike
her dead.
After twice shrieking this horribtS
supplication, she dropped her arms
with gesture of sullen despair, and
stalked slowly, reekiug vet, into the
house In the hall, looking out upon
this scene Of demoniacal possession, sat
Bessie Lauson and her maiden aunt,
Miss Mercy Lauson, while behind them,
coming from an inner room, appeared
the burly figure Of the old Squire. Az
Mrs. Lauson passed the two women,
they drew little aside with q sort of
shrinking which arose partly from q
desire to avoid her dripping garments,
and partly from that awe with which
most OF us regard ungovernable passion.
The Squire, on the contrary, met his
wife with sarcastic twinkle Of his grim
gray eyes, and a scof which had the
humor discoVerable in the contrast be.
tween total Indifference and furious
emotion.
"Closed your camp.meeting early,
Mrs, Lauson,' said the old man; "can't
expect streak of lightning for such .
small service"
A tormentor who wears smile in.
ficts a double agony. Mrs. Lauson
wrung her hands, and broke out in q
cry of rage and anguish: 20 Lord,
let it strike me- o Lord, let it strike
mel"
Squire Lauson took a chair, crossed
his thick, muscular legs, glanced at his
wife, glanced at the levin-seamed sky,
and remarked with a chuckle, "1'm
waiting to see this thing out"
"Father, l say it's perfectly awful"
demonstrated Miss Mercy Lauson.-
Mother, amt you ashamed of your
self?"
Miss Mercy was an old maid of the
grave, sad, sickly New England type.
She pronounced her reproof in high,
thin passionless monotone, without .
gesture or fash of expression, with
out glancing at the persons whom she
addressed, looking straight before her
at the wall She seemed to speak with
ont emotion, and merely from a stony
sense Of duty. 1t was as if a message
had been delivered by the mouth Of an
automaton.

Senator Trumbull, Notwithstanding his quertis
lousness and inexplicable conservatism at odd
times, sometimes does good thing. One OF his
best is the amendment offered by Elm to the ap-
preparation bill, making the salaries OF female
clerks, holding clerkships In the departments,
the same as those of males performing the same
work. II is entirely Just and ought to pass. The
usual defense urged for paying women less aala-
services that the only way to lessen the number
of applicants is to reduce the scale OF wages.
But, in the case of these clerships, there are es
many surplus whiskers as chlgnons. Anothet
they are in some employments less eticisnt

A noticeable feature of this meeting
was the absence Of any of the Ring. It

Riot in. New York City.

A fearful riot recently occurred at
Elm Park, New York City, between
Catholic and Protestant Irishmen.-
The Orangemen, numbering several
thousands, with women and children,
were celebrating the anniversary of
the battle Of the Boyne. All along
the line of march the Irish Catholics
ieered at and insulted them.
No sooner had the Orangemen ar
rived in the Park than the Catholics,
several hundred in number, rushed
on them, tearing down the fence and
hurling stones and other missiles in
to the crowd. A scene of the widest
confusion and ghastliness ensued. In
ten minutes no less than one hundred
shots were fired. Women aud chill
dren shrieked and tainted. Men were
shot through the head, or had their
heads mashed to a Jelly. Many wo-
men with children in their arms were
fearfully cut and bruised. Some hun
dreds were wounded and a number
killed. The Orangemen, in return
ing from the Park, were assailed in
the street cars, and stones weighing
from five to fifteen pounds were hurl-
ed into them, manning men, women
and children Unfortunately. -Four
cars were badly demolished. The po,
lice finally quelled the riot.

to concentrate all the heat, and to pre-
vent its escaping by the aperture at
the top, she drew the strings closely
together, which are used to tieit round
the waist. By degrees the stuff dried,
became lighter, and the stove, cOntin-
uing to heat and rarity the air, cOncen-
trated under the framework, the pet
ticOat began to move, and finally rose
in the air. AstOnished, and to a GER
tain extent, alarmed, she ran out to
call her neighbors, and they, seeing
it suspended in the air, were
amazed. But one of the spectators
drawn thither by the excitement was
a paper-maker from Annoray, named
MontgOlfer, who was as much aston
ished as the others, but not frightened
at all, and returned home, and without
loss of time studied the works of Priest
ly on different kinds of atmOspheres.
The result was the discovery of the
first balloon, called Montgolfer's, of
which he was the inventor.
