THE ROCK ISLAND PANIC.
The general drift Of the comments upon

hundred thousand to u million dollar,
and in doing so TO have fcmorsclessly
broken down dozen or more smaller iirms
dependent on him. He was pronounced
\ CONFIDENCE MAN OF THE fIr.r MAGNi-
TUDE.
The basis of these allegations is the old
story, that, while employing one set of
brokers TO run up stock TO prices which,
a, when Spcycrs was bidding LEO for

WONDERFUL BILLIARDIST.-Garn
the renowned billiardist, has been play
ing extraordinary pranks with cue and
balls in Buffalo. The Express of that city
says: H
A glance showed the man to be an en-.
thuslast. From the moment he took the
cue in hand and rolled the balls upon the
table, he was apparently on fire with ex-
element. His eye blazed, and every mo-
ton was made with quickness and
spring Indicative of highly strung ner-
vous system He played billiards on the
table, on top of the cushions, in the air,
and on the floor, performing marvels
which without being seen would by most
men be deemed impossible. Cyrille Dion
explained the shots intended to be made
To fitly describe all the wonderful per-
formances would be very difficult task.
He sent his ball flying into the air over
two cues held some distance above the
table it allghted, by some, to us, mex
plicable force. stopped its progressive
career without touching the cushion, and
returning with twist and caromed on
the balls at the same end from which the
shot was made. Then he placed a hat on
the table, and shooting his ball over a
raised cue it descended again to the table
described nearly circle around the hat
and caromed on three balls stationed in
The corner. Then Dion held ball in his
hand some three feet above the table,and
the wonderful billiardist caroned on that
and the balls at different points on the
table He then shot at ball on the Ia
BILE and hitting it, his ivory jumped upon
the tor of the cushion and running along
some distance caromed on q ball which
had been placed there. Sixteen balls
were placed in corner at the head OF the
table and rapidly shooting them one af-
ter another about all the cushions, they
finally came together in the opposite cor
ner of the lower end. These are only
few of the wonderful feats he performed.
He would shoot his ball straight for the
opposite end of the table, and tIaversing
nearly the entire distance it would, With
out touching either cushion or any other
ball. suddenly return to the starting
point The master hand made the ball
perform all manner of inconceivable turns
and twists, describing semi-circles, the
figure s, the letter s, and so on, and car
oming on balls stationed on the table in
the most difficult positions, upon the
cushions, and even upon the floor. When
tie exhibition was concluded the specta
tors all concurred In the opinion that Buff
falo had never previously witnessed such
billiards.

BEER, BRICKS, AND BUILDINGs.-Mr
Taylor, of Birmingham, the founder OF
freehold land societies, says:
persuade man to keep sober. tell
him that with every quart he consumes
twenty five bricks. / show him how, in
the course of two years at quart day
he swallows as many bricks as would
make nice cottage. My old GRANDPA
Their died when nearly hundred years
old. He lived in one house nearly eighty
years. and at the time of his death, he
had not so much as brick or chimney
pot, although he had paid rent all his
life. Now had he belonged to build
ing society, his grandson might have
been better off than he is.
| have said that quart of ale is equal
to twenty-five bricks, and paper of to-
bacco is mortar to lay them with. There
they are, the twenty five bricks and the
mortar, going from many a mans pocket
over the public house counter every day.
Such men will never be freeholders. In
Birmingham we have bought freehold
land at the rate of Is Cd. per yard-two
quarts of ale and paper of tobacco ex-
actly!
| remember some time ago telling the
coal beavers and limestone quarrymen, in
a meeting at Dudley, that every quart of
ale was equal to halfa-yard of freehold
land. One man got up at the far end of
the room and said, "What is that you say,
mister!' replied, "Why, my dear fell
low, with every quart of ale you drink
You swallow half-a- yard of land" swell,
them said he, II have swallowed many
field in my time"
Upon calculation, we find that the loss
of money alone co man spending Cd. q
day in drink "a pint of ale for instance)
amounts, at the end of twenty seven
years with compound interest at five per
cent? to the large and handsome sum of
five hundred and nine pounds, sufficient
to buy half million of bricks, which
would build say twenty five houses; or at
one shilling and penny per square yard,
it would purchase an estate of two acres
of bnilding ground, or land enough for
forty respectable houses and gardens; or
it would purchase three good houses all
complete.
Workingmen! is there not some in
ducement here to leave off drinking ?
Remember that in the above calculation
there is nothing whatever put down for
loss of time and health this would
amount to far more than the actual cost
OF tho drink

FRENCH POSTAGE STAMPs.--Since the
establishment of the French Republic on
September 9th, the postage stamps on
letters from France have continued to be
those of the old Empire. A recent letter,
however, received from Paris, "per bal
Ion monte, has upon it one of the new
stamps of the French Republic. These
new stamps, however, cannot be very
abundant, as the letter mentioned has
one stamp of the Empire and another of
the Republic placed upon it. The rev
device consists Of a female head of Lib
erty encircled with a wreath, and the
legend reads "Repub. France" instead of
" Empire Francois" The side borders
still exhibit the pattern known as the
!" Gates of Troy" but differ from the old
in minute particulars, and are less dis.
tinct. 1t is, however, evident that new
die has been prepared. @

How TO MAKE PAPER TRANSPARENT
The Engineering and Mining Journal saws
that artists. architects, land surveyers. and
all who have occasion to make use Of
tracing paper in their professional duties,
will be glad to know that any paper ca.
pable of the transfer of drawing in or
binary ink, pencil, or water colors, and
that even stout drawing paper can be
made as transparent as the thin yellowish
paper at present used for tracing pur-
poses. The liquid used is benzine. If
the paper is dampened with pure and
fresh distilled benzine it at once assumes
transparency, and permits of tracing
being made, and of ink or water colors
being used on its surface without any
" running" The paper resumes its opac-
ity as the benzine evaporates, and, if
the drawing is not then completed the
requisite portion of the paper must be-
again dampened with the benzine. The
transparent calico, on which indestructi-
BILE tracings can be made, was most val.
liable invention, and this new discovery
OF the properties of benzine, will prove
OF further service to the art profession, in
allowing the use of stiff paper where
formerly only slight tissue could be
used.

In Lee County Qowa,) man named
Rafer had large and ferocious dog,
which some young man of the neighbor-
hood determined to kill. He accordingly
entered the premises and shot the dog,
which was chained close to the door of
the house. Mr.. Rafer, hearing the report
of the pistol SO near at hand, naturally
concluded that burglars were about the
building, and that the pistol had gone of
accidentally, as one of them was making
his entrance. He arose, seized an axe,
and quietly began to examine about the
premises in the dark. Pretty soon he
found himself near somebody, and struck
the intruder with all his force. A terri
BILE scream followed, and he discovered
that he had struck the axe into the face
and shoulder of his wife, whom he had
left in bed, but who had got up to look
out OF the window, to see if she could
catch any glimpse of the burglars. The
probabilities tare that the injury will
prove fatal esa
