of light. When about half a mile from
the ground his body ceased its gyratoly
notion, assumed perpendicular posi-
tiou and came down head fret " otrnNk
the earth some distance from ", and
then rebounded, falling again within n
few feet of where it struck. Then, from
paralyzing fear, the crowd broke forth
into shrieks Of terror, women ran wildly
about screaming and actually tearing
their hair, and rush was made for the
spot where the man had struck the
ground There was an indentation not
less that eight or ten inches deep, and fill
ed with blood and brains which had burst
from the skull then, like cannon ball
let drop from an immense height, it
crushed into the earth. The dead man
was then taken up and carried to the
Albert House where the poor wife, who
had often safely traversed the air with
her husband, cared for it.
The excitement in The town was OF the
most fearful and intense description, as
may readily be believed. Those who
had come out for pleasure returned
home in sorrow, and the town wore the
aspect of place which had been visited
by some fearful calamity in which its
own interests had suffered. There was
no more Of the fair that day, and the
remembrance OF the dreadful occurrence
will long be story told by the inhabi-
tqntS when those who Witnessed it shall
long since have died.

who is to blame If Amanda, up

delicate, do-nothing hands, is to spend
all her time and educated brlliancy in
catching a husband, and spending for
him her annual ten thousand, why is

A SINGULAR AFFAIR.--Near the little
town of Wromin, in Lithuania, there
used to be a lake eight versts long by
five wide. 1t was famous for its fish,
and was worth from this source 1900
roubles a year. -Four or five weeks ago
during perfect atmospheric calm, the
waters OF the lake became violently per.
turbed. Waves rose high in air and
dashed furiously to and fro, while poig-
nant odor of sulphur prevailed the whole
neighhorhood. For three days this went
on, and by that time the surface Of the
lake was covered with fish, who had
been killed by the sulphur, Fearing n
pestilence from the great numbers Of the
dead fish, the inhabitants of the neigh
boring villages began to collect and cover
them with lime. Meanwhile, the lake
began to sink, the sulphurous smell in
creasing daily, and at latest accounts the
bed of the lake was almost quite dry.
The theory is that the limestone and
chalk bottom of the lake has given way,
and that the waters hove made their
path into subterranean canals. Doubt
less by this time they are serving as n
cascade in the gas-lit regions inhabited
by the Coming Race"

The New York Thieves.

The manner of the removal of quar-
tette of New York thieves at Chicago, is
thus told by correspondent. Aaron
and Tracey went to Chicago and put mp
in the hostelry of Tom Foley, on Fourth
avenue, where all the western mob OF
thieves stayed while in Chicago. During
the progress of the fire they, with Nun
day and Brown, who had joined them,
went out to rob. They struck through
the burning streets, aid last reached
Clark aud Randolph streets at the Sher-
man House. This was before this mag
niticent hotel caught fire, but the flames
were rapidly sweeping toward it. There
was large jewelry store further down,
and a bank nearly opposite. The fire
had touched these and the doors had
been broken open to let the tiremen run
their hose through the buildings. Tracey
and Aaron went for the iewelry store,
while Brown and Munday struck for the
bank. Both parties were captured. Two
lamp-posts were convenient, and some OF
the citizens special police elevated Tracey
and Aaron thereon, but a sweeter fate
befel Messrs. Munday and Brown. They
were captured by some OF the infantry
from Omaha, men who speak to THIEF
with the butts of their muskets, and ask
HIM where he is going with the muzzIe.
The consequence was natural. Munday
and Brown were stood up with then
backs against the wall of house, and
the rifles of the soldiers did the rest.
So ended the Chicago career OF the Aaron
gang of thieves.
A Chicago reporter says that he saw
the body of a man suspended by the
heels to lamp-post in Butterteld street
The man was dead his brains had beer
beaten ont. The same passenger saw 1
man lying bleeding III the middle of {
crowd, 40 one of whom would ossis
him. He had been shot by the polio,
for stealing.

The Sun and the Rose.

The Sun, who smiles wherever he goes,
Til tho flowers all smile again,
Fell in love one day with bashfil Rose
That had been a bud till then.
SO he pushed back the folds Of the soft gree,

That covered her modest grace,
And kissed her AZ only lover could,
Till the crimson burned III her face.
But wo for the day when his golden hair
Tangled hor heart in net,
And We for the night OF dark despair,
When her check with tears wac wet
For she loved him as only maiden could,
And he lett her crushed and weak,
Striving in vain with her faded hood
To cover her guilty cheek.

FISHING IN THE UPPER NnH.--A new
and exciting kind of fishing is to be had
on the Upper Nile. A big, steady boat
is fitted with windlass in its bows, and
long whale-line, to the extremity Of
which is fastened good-size buoy.
From the buoy tethered, by powerful
wire gimp Of several yards, O fine fat
goose, under each pinion of which is
tied strong shark-hook. The buoy is
turned adrift, and the struggles OF the
captive goose carefully watched. Before
long, goose, buoy, and all disappear with
a rush, the line is dragged out, aud the
boat is rapidly towed down stream.
Then commences the struggle. A croco-
die is expeditiously dispatched. = After
he has wearied himselfb by tugging. about
the boat for twenty minutes or hall en-
hour, the line is wound in, and as the
monsters heed appears on the surface a

The sampiing Game.

Yesterday, a portly, impudent and
smooth tongued individual, calling
himself Breton, and representing that
he was n merchant ut Independence,
Kansas, with ample capital and a
large trade, visited quite a number OF
our leading wholesale houses aud par.
took freely of their Inequalities. He
first honored Turner, Frazier s. Co.
with his presence, sampled all Of their
best liquors. smoked a few choice cigars
and quietly took his departure. He
talked about making sons large pur-
chases, but the firm refused to take
any orders until nc gave them satisfac-
tory evidence Of his reliability as O
good paying customer.
He next visited the house Of G. ID.
Smith s Co. Sam Smith kindly took
him through the establishment and
freely supplied him with the best
liquors in the house. He wanted to
purchase $500 worth Of wines and
liquors, but Sam wanted the cash or
good security, so the Independence
merchant retired, promising to return
during the day and satisfy the firm OF
his reliability. H.
Mr.. Breton also visited during the
day the drug house Of Il. r. Smith q
Co., and other Wholesale establish
ments. In no case did he succeed III
obtaining any goods, hut he Jared cap

were concerned. L4r Ei.5~H -
