The Augusta journal says in 1881 ia
cob Flagg, Of that city, an intern perate
man, had q most excellent wife, who,
tired of her repeated failures in the line
OF his reformation, finally left him.
Flagg advertised her thus: "Left my bed

An OLD FEAT REVIVED.

An item is now pervading the American
press, describing the wonderful doings of
tHerr Holtum, the Prussian Hercules
now exhibiting in England. A cannon is
drawn into the hall where he exhibits, by
two horses; he takes his stand twenty or
thirty feet from the muZzle; it is fired. The
conclusion shakes the building; cloud of
smoke envelopes the performer; when it
clears away, he is found unhurt, holding
the marked cannon-ball in his hands. 1t
would seem at first that this heroic perfor-
mer should be engaged as catcher by pro-
fessional baseball club, but his feat is, I'M
fortunately for his reputation, neither novel
nor difficult.
It was certainly performed in England in
1876. and this is the moduS 0perqndi. About
two ounces of powder are placed in the gun,
then the ball is rammed home, then the
balance of the charge is put in. When the
Gun is fred all the powder is ignited, and
Inc fash, smoke and report are orthodox,
but the ball receives propulsion only from
the small quantity of powder behind it, and
Is thrown but very few feet. So accu-
rately could the force be estimated that at
an experiment in England in 1876, a u
Mound ball was thrown against board fence
so as to leave slight dent on it without
knocking it down.

Great Damage to Trees slnd keAoeS'
During the thunderstorm yesterday alter
noon, cyclone passed through Gen. W, Y,

leveling trees, fences and everything II en-
It was first observed by Mr. A.
L. Maxwell, who had gang Of men en-
pIoyed In building a bridge on the Nash
vile and Northwestern railroad. lie heard
the roar of the approaching storm, and
called to his men to stop working and take
refuge in an open space where tney "oIlu
be secure from falling trees. The NOISE IN
creased every moment, and resemoieu the
roar of mighty cataract. suddenly an
immente volume of black clouds resembling
a waterspout, descended from the SKIES
whirling like an @riel ocean in storm. 1l
rushed down upon the forest accompanied
by rain and vivid lightning. Seizlng the
taIlest giants OF the forests by the limbs, It
wrenched them from the ground and whiri-
ed them like straws before IL. 1t passed In
a Southwesterly direction In solid, com
pact body about three hundred yards wide,
cutting a lane through the woods, as even
in width, as if lines had been drawn before
hand to guide its course. Wherever the
dense black cloud passed, PROSTATE trees
and fences and ruined cabins streWed the
ground. The workmen were unable TO
stand the force of the wind, and only saved
themselves from being blown away by lying
fiat upon their faces, behind the friendly
shelter of stumps and hillocks. The hurri-
cane lasted but few minutes, yet in that
time it had cut alane completely through the
park. =,
Several persons narrowly escaped DEAN
from falling trees and branches.
A boy was driving wagon along the turn
pike when a large limb was severed from
tree by the cyclone and dropped between
the mules and the wagon, breaking the
tongue of thu vehicle, but without iDjurinG
the team or driver. A tree fell across an
other wagon in which two boys were seated
smashing the rear part Of 1t, but without
! touching the boys.
The railroad track was blocked by mum
Der of fallen trees. AS soon as the storm
had passed away Mr.. Maxwell set bis mel
to work to clear the track and luckily sue
ceeded in removing the debris before the ar
rival of any train.
A touch of the same storm was felt IN Id
peighborhood of Belmont, the residence
! DR.. w. A. Chatham, where a number Q
trees were felled, and an clubhouse on tn
premises of DR.. c., covered with TIN, wa
partially unroofed.

sriIton,s Paradise Lost.

Among the truly excellent exhibitions OF
art, which for beauty and moral instruction;
claiming public attention may be ranked
Subera's Moving Mirror of the Holy Land
and Original TabIeaux Of Millions Paradise
Lost as witnessed by large number OF
persons last night at Masonic Hall. While
the generality OF travelling panoramas have
for their highest merit Of art luxurious
dalliance and gorgeous colOring, paying no
attention to the scenes and events, whether OF
nature, historic or otherwise which are
represented, Subera's panorama Is quite
different. Beauty without overdone color
ing, fidelity in every respect, to say nothing
of the wonderful and faultless execution of
these pictures, aud representation, in con-
nection with the events illustrated, renders
Subera's panorama highly and morally in:
structive. Millions Paradise Lost could
not be presented, so as TO be understood
and appreciated, better than in this
style and by these tableaux,
which are in their appearance marvels
of art work, producing in natural success
sion the richest and most sublime scenes
from tie great English Epic. Subera will
be here only tonight, and while there was
a good attendance of our best citizens last
night, vet, when we know the moral tone
and the beautiful precepts illustrated by
this panorama, we think our people Should
show a better appreciates for it.
