COLLISION IN BROADWAY.


|nlirnc nculous Escape Of ur. Peter Cooper from
IDiury.
A singular accident occurred at noon to-day
ht the intersection of Broadway and Liberty
Xfueet, by which Mr.. Peter Cooper's carriage
was upset. but he escaped all injury in most
miraculous manner. There is difference in the
.grade of Broadway and that of Liberty street,
Vthe trap blocks of the former being somewhat
fbigher than the wooden surface of the latter.
.yTbis noon, as Mr.. Cooper was driving through
1Liberty street, horse attached to
an 'old-fashioned carriage which Is
familiar to the eye of most New Workers, he
WAS preceded by heavily-laden draft truck.
4 AS the wheels of the truck came in contact with
>tbe higher trap blocks at Broadway, the horses
I kwere unable to proceed, and the truck receded
NcrowdiDg Mr.. Coopers conveyance back upon
<anotber truck in the rear. The body of the
3carTiage caught upon the platform, and the
d horse still being pushed back, the carriage was
completely overturned, and Mr.. Cooper was
thrown out.
4 Fortunately gentleman of Elizabeth, n. j.,
saw Mr.. CoOper's perilous position and as he
fell caught him In his arms, bringing the phi
1aDtropist to the ground on his feet without a
scratch or a bruise. The escape from injury or
(. possible death was most miraculous, and had it
not been that the horse was very gentle and did
not attempt to move, Mr.. Cooper could scarcely
: have escaped injury. The horse once belonged
to General "Baldy" Smith, and has been In Mr..
/ Coo er's possession a long time, by whom he is
i highly prized.-N. Y. Post, last eUening.

Montmartre derives its name from Mons
Mdrtis, because the Romans built temple
thereon in honor of Mars. The hill itself Is
between three and fonr hundred feet above the
level of the Seine, commanding an excellent
view of Paris, and also furnishing an eligible
location for the batteries of foreign or domestic
enemy beseging the capital. Numerous gypsum
quarries are opened here, and the little village,
with its groups of windmills which crown the
summit of the acclivity, presents pleasing and
picturesque appearance to the approaching ira
weller.
The church formerly belonging to the Abbey
of Montmartre was founded by Louis VI in the
year 100, and is still much visited by devout
pilgrims, more especially during September. The
cemetery of Montmartre is an object of con-
siderable interest, being the first one esta-
lshed after the suppression of burial places in
the city, and was called originally Champ du
Repos. The spot was once a gypsum quarry,
and the broken character of the ground adds
much to its beauty. The total area, including
recent additions, Is ffty-four acres A lofty
stone cross stands near the gateway, and behind
it, on a gentle eminence, are many tasteful
monuments belonging to prominent aristocratic
families
On the other side of this eminence, and
divided from the rest by wall, is the Jewish
cemetery; beyond which, to the right, is q beau
tiful chapel in the Byzantine style of archtec-
ture, erected to the memory of the Countess
Potocka. A prominent feature of the place is
stone obelisk surmounted by cross, which
marks the grave of Duchess de Montmorency
The fOsSes cOmnlunes, or common graves, are
near the further boundary of the enclosure.
Electric bells communicate through subterraneau
pipes from the most distant parts of the ceme-
terry with the central office, that the superin-
tendent may, by touching a key, summon any
of his assistants to attend upon funerals as they
arrive.

KIDNAPPING.
GypsIes Attempt TO steal n child.

The Reading Eagle says: Yesterday morning
about 81 o'clock an attempt was made by
woman to steal a baby boy, son of Mr.. Charles
Fisher, machinist, who resides in Sixth street,
above Franklin 1t seems that Mrs Fisher went
into the back yard to draw some water, leaving
her babe lying in q cradle In the front room, and
while she was absent the gypsy entered the
front door, which had been left unlocked, took
the cradle quilt and placed it In her basket and
was in the act of placing the babe in the same,
when the mother entered. She took the child
from the gypsy, and ordered her to leave, but
was too much frightened to give the alarm and
have the woman arrested. As an excuse, the
gypsy said che had taken the child up to look
at it, and poured forth upon Mrs. Fisher the
viest of epithets before leaving the house.
When the attempted abduction became known
at the depot, where Mr.. Fisher works, consider
able excitement was caused and tor q time 1t
looked as If some of the employees would visit
they gypsy band, and annhilate them. The
band has been encamped at Heiners Spring for
several days past, and the woman who thus
attempted to make desolate the fireside of one
of our citizens should be brought to justice at
once.

SAD CALAMITY.
Two Little Boys Killed by the Failing In Of n



At quarter-past IL o'clock, Tuesday, two
little sons of Boney and Amelia Brunell, Henry,
in his eighth, and James Thomas, la his sixth
year, were found crushed and smothered under
an old deserted cave In the shore bank, south
OF the Wexford Academy, which the heavy
rains had caused to fall in.
The old cave was a short distance from their
home, and the children had been there one or
two days before to play. Tuesday morning, be-
fore going TO bis work, their father forbade the
boys going there again. and charged their older
brother, Joseph, In bis tenth year. TO watch
them. At o'clock Joseph was sent for the
doctor, to attend his sick mother, and when he
returned the younger boys were missing. At
halfpast IL o'clock Joseph discovered that the
cave had fallen in, and told his father on his
return at noon, that he feared his brothers were
under IL.
TIE distressed father secured the assistance of
two OF his neighbors and soon dug out the
bodies and took them TO his house, where the
doctor examined them, but life was extinct.
The neck OF James was broken by the falling
timber. The unfortunate lads were then pre-
pared for the grave, and were inferred on We'd
nefday In Elm Grove Cemetery. gideHce

SALT FOR SwINE.-While all other
domestic animals are regularly supplied
with salt, the hog is generally neglected.
He requires, however, to be as constant
ly supplied as the OK, the horse, or the
sheep AMI suffers as much for privation
as either Of the above named animals
do. His food is almost invariably given
to him in a fresh and unseasoned state,
and to this fact we may doubtless attri-
butte all the violent and fatal diseases to
which he is subject and which stagger all
remedies, however promptly and skill,
fully administered. If the food be not
regularly seasoned, there should be q
trough or box in every sty, in which sail
may be deposited regularly for the use o.
these animals. Seasoning the food ju
diciously would be much the best way
As seasoning the food of the hog is men
| toned aoove, let it be understood tha
salt only is here alluded o, for if any
person should try seasoning with pepper
they will make great mistake; for a
much pepper as will suffice for man
dinner will kill hog

ly after being occupied. The impurities
which emanate from the human body
from insensible perspiration are made
up of minute atoms, which if allowed tc
remain long, are absorbed by the bed
and will then, to greater or less extent
vitiate the air for considerable time
afterward. Let the occupant throw the
bed open on rising, and, as soon as is
convenient, open the windows ana ven
tilate the sleeping room. One hours
early ventilation is worth two hours late
airing.

The secret the growth of any place,
is mainly to the inducements held out
and encouragements given to strangers
to settle there. Encourage active and
worthy men, whether they have money
or not, stimulate every good enterprise
by giving it all the friendly aid in your
power. Cultivate public spirit and
help your neighbor. If he gets fairly
down before you know his situation set
him on his feet again. His misfortune
is to be pitied, not blamed, and his tai
ents are worth moneyto the community
Besides, it may some day be your turn
to need corresponding sympathy.

An ELEPHANT ON A SPREE. The huge
elephant "Mogul," attached to OBrien's
menagerie, which recently went "on a
tare j" at Danielsonvile, Conn, indulg-
ed in a similar eccentricity on Thursday
at Meriden. Soon after the close of the
afternoon performance he pushed through
the tent, smashed three baggage wagons,
scattering the pieces then pierced a
mule with his trunk, killing the poor
beast instantly, and playfully tossed his
carcass about; and next scattered sever
al piles of lumber like so many chips
A dozen or more revolver shots had by
this time been fired at him without the
least effect ON his tough hide. He then
took to the street, amid the greatest ex-
element, and finally broke into an orch
ard, where an attempt was made to chain
him to tree. At first he met this by
striking off the branches, but at last, in
his rage, tore up the whole tree by the
roots, breaking off one of his tusks in
the effort. He was finally chained to an
other tree, aud early Friday morning
was cast, and finally conquered into sub
mission by means of pitchforks and hot
irons, although he had to be kept chain
ed down all day Friday. The animal is
81 years old, weighs five tons, and is
valued at $4,000, but is getting so ugly
that he will probably have to be killed.

STAY WHERE You AREAS gener-
sl rule. the best place for young man
to begin life is right where he is. He
need not go a hundred, or two or three
hundred, or thousand miles away from
home to try the world; that particular
spot where he lives is part of the world,
and just as good place to try as some
other particulai spot three hundred miles
of. 1t is a very common mistake for
Youngsters, who have not yet butted their
tender heads against the hard angles Of
the world, to imagine they possess supe-
rior talent, if they only had an opportu-
nifty to exhibit it; if they live on farm,
there is no chance to show their genius
if they live in country town, it is Ell.
tirely too small for them to spread their
wings in. They yearn for great city,
where talents are appreciated, and mag
inc that there is field for them to rise to
eminence and wealth, and yet they had
better stay right where they are, and
make their beginning in the locality
where they were raised. If they really
possess genius, or special aptitudes, they
may at first develope them, and test the
metal they are made of, in the limited
sphere of their native place, and il the
experimentproVes satisfactory afterwards
transfer them to wider sphere of action
Thousands of young men who go to great
cities to try the world, find the world in
such cities too much for them, and learn
too late, that it would have been better
for them to make their trial in an hum.
bier and safer sphere.

full only of gladness. What, he thinks,
has she to trouble her? And this when
the poor wife has, through long anc
weary day, been toiling with family work
and vexatious care till her head is aching,
and foot and hand and heart are sore

silently, very likely with somber com

the day, or the badness of the times (;

with heavy heart and tired step, got
the little ones into bed, and, as best she
could has worn away the long hours of
