A PoLYoLor BusINKss.-The wide
spread influence Of American skill and en-
terprise has outstripped the comprehension
Of the Americans themselves. The fabrics
of our mills clothe the savages Of both con-
tinents. They wrap the loins Of Africa, and
the tawny skins of South American pampas.
But wider still are spread the products OF
our skill in medicines. A late visit to DR..
j. C. Aver 4 Co.'S laboratory and ofice in
Lowell, showed us that the whole surface OF
the habitable globe pays it, tribute there
there they cater to and serve the require
ments of almost all nations. Their publica-
tons are in the many tongues that widely
severed peoples use. Their letters must DC
read from and written in many tongues, fcl
which there sits . long range Of correspond
ents with the indispensable accomplish.
ments for their duties. Their daily mail Of
half bushel Of letters brings them advices
orders and remittances from the circle OF thu
world. We we're overwhelmed with amaze
ment, and our readers would be by an IN
spection of this wonderfully extensive

Accident 70 Rarnum,s Show.

From the Erie Dispatch we learn that an
accident occurred to Barnum's train, on the
Twelfth street track, that city, on the eve
of departure. 1t appears there is triple
switch at the point where the accident took
place, which was turned right for the main
line, when two engines attempted to come
out with the cars. AS they struck the
switch, the engines jumped the track and
one went over on its side. The train was
running very slow, but the check was too
sudden to be harmless, and the platform
cars crushed into one another, pitching off
three of the cage carriages and slightly
damaging others. The carriage containing
the "happy family and the monkeys was
amongst those thrown of, and as the rear
end of the heavy train came crushing up,
one of the cars was squeezed out and turn
ed over on the monkey cage. This was be-
tween one and two o'clock in the morning,
and the night was pitch dark. The ends
Of two other carriages, one containing the
sea lions, and the other the "gorilla" and
an Gland were stove in. A scene of wild
confusion here ensued. Shouts aud yells
went up from the showmen and railroad
employees, the Abysinnian lions set up
their fiercest howls, assisted by the bark of
the sea lions, the horses commenced kick
ing with vigor that threatened to knock
the sides off the cars in which they were
tied, the happy family was unhappy, mon
keys came lodging out from beneath the
fiat car, gibbering with fright, and began
to run over the cars and cages with the
howls, yells and groans, it seemed as though
the inhabitants Of Pandemonium had bro
ken loose. When daylight came, the mon
keys were hunted up and the remnants of
the unhappy family gathered together.
One of the monkeys had strayed to the car
works, and other ouriosities were found in
unheard of localities, but all were brought
in, and early in the morning the train left
for Cory, to exhibit there. The monkey
carriage and the carriage containing the
sea lions, being wreck, were left behind
for repairs, and were on Saturday at the
shops in Erie, where large numbers con-
gregated out of curiosity.

Cheap Railroad Fares.

At the last session of the Massa chusetts
Legislature an act was passed whereby
every railroad in the State should be COM
PEELED to furnish morning and evening
train at proper hours, for instance not ex-
ceeding fifteen miles, and for such tariffs
they shall furnish yearly season tickets at
rate not exceeding three dollars per mile
year, good once day each day for six
days in a week, and quarterly tickets not
exceeding three dollars per mile per quar-
ter providing that the number of persons
making application shall not be less than
200. The object of this was to enable me-
chanics and persons of limited means to es-
cape from the alleys and crowded streets of
Boston and build up the suburbs. Plenty
of room would thus be secured and the re-
suit, it was believed, would be very favor
able to the interests Of morality, as we'll as
to the comfort of the working class.
The idea which led to this move is de-
rived frem the success of similar plan in
London. AS early as 1862 the three princi-
pal railways consented to convey not less
than one thousand passengers from any
place within ten miles of London and back
for twopenc Tor about four cents) day,
and since 1865 all the new railways con-
structed at that point have been obliged to
do the same thing, The result has been
very beneficial, both to the roads them
selves, the suburbs and the poorer classes.
Rents in London itself, which would other
wise have risen to a fabulous height, have
been checked, and the example set by the
English roads is in every respect worthy of
imitation.

A Picture Under DifIiculty.

It is the custom in the large cities to
take photograph of all rogues arrested, to
hang up for the inspection Of all officers
and the public. A New York paper gives
the following account of the taking the
picture of an obstinate thief
"Charles Williams who escaped from
Officer Cahill on the evening of May 18th,
after stealing box of laces worth 500 from
the store Of F. Wetkhelen, No. 110 Grand
street, was re-arrested last night and was
arranged to-day before Superintendent
Kelso, who ordered his picture taken.
Williams said he would not consent, and
Captain Irving ordered Detectives Kelso
and Reilly, with two officers, to 60 to the
gallery and force him to submit. He was
taken to the gallery and seated in the chair,
but when the cloth was removed from the
camera he Immediately closed his eyes and
opened his mouth, making continued
grimaces. When the offices attempted to
hold him he kicked over the camera and
stand, knocking out one of the lenses and
otherwise injuring the instrument.
Detective Kelso then brought from the
Central Office pair of handouts, and De-
tectives Dunn and Walling came to their
assistance. The handouts were placed on
him and held by Dunn, while another Off
Ger put strap under his chin and over his
head to keep his mouth shut. This plan
was tried four times without much better
success, the prisoner pretending to faint
several times, but, as soon as they attempt.
ed to take his picture, closing his eyes and
making such grimaces that it was impossi.
BILE to take a correct picture. The officers
had to be satisfied with picture with the
eyes closed, as in the case of Jack Shep.

THE Beer Business.

There is no doubt that the consumption
of malt liquors is constantly increasing in
this country. Mr. Henry Clusen in the
opening address before the brewers con-
gress lately in session in New York, stated
that in the United States there are more
than three thousand breweries, giving en-
ployment to thousands of people, and rep
resenting $lOO,OOO,OO0 of capital. These
breweries consume 23,0O00OO bushels Of
barley and 100000 pounds of hops,
which require for their cultivation over a
million acres of land, thus becoming an
important item in our agricultural inter-
ests. The direct and indirect revenue
paid into the Treasury through the man
ufacture and sale Of malt liquors has
steadily and rapidly Increased in 1868 il
was s1,50O, 600 in 1870 It was $4,000, 900,
and last year II had reached the enormous
sum Of $7soO,oOO. ~ ~ .lol1 ',''..i ,'.

Terrible Tornado In Ohio.

Late particulars from the scene of the
storm which visited Logan county Ohio,
on Saturday evening the Sth inst, show
that the storm was more terrible and de-
structive than the first report indicated.
A sultry day was followed by the appear
ance of cloud in the West, at 5 o'clock
in the evening, which gathered in blackness
and size with fearful rapidity. A heavy
wind set in, and at $50 o'clock the wild
wind struck the earth five miles from
Quincy moving ENTHUSIASTICALLY. The
destroyer was hardly five minutes in reach
ing Quincy, through which it passed, max
ing a clean sweep of houses, trees and
fences along its path, which fortunately
was comparative narrow. In this village
fifty or sixty dwellings and stores and two
churches and as many more shops, stables
and outbuildings were unroofed rocked
upon their foundation, or demolished. The
air was literally filed with flying weather.
boards, furniture, lath and plaster. A
parlor stove was caught up by the wind
and hurled through the air, and falling
upon..a woman crushed her so that she died.
The Baptist, Methodist and Episcopal
churches were completely destroyed. The
tornado, Oh the way to De Graf, struck
Boggs's Touring mill, five stories high, con-
tanning three thousand bushels of grain,
moving the building nine inches upon the
foundation, and carrying away the roof and
portion of the fifth story. 1t ploughed
its way through De Graf, scattering de-
struction in its path, but hurting fewer
persons and injuling less number OF
buildings. After leaving De Graft it passed
several settlements, and finally rose from
the earth, and was seen for miles carrying
in its funnel-shaped form timber, rails and
debris, which it had gathered in its de-
structive march. The papers this morning
give the names of thirty-nine persons injur-
ed in Quincy and eleven in De Graf, the
list not comprising all the injured in the
former village. Mrs. Rail, reported to have
been killed in De Graf, is yet living. Two
of her children were killed. Mrs. Click,
in Quincy has since died of her wounds.

E8- Friday morning the 9th inst, Jacob
Sham, residing near Unionsville, in Penn
township, Lancaster county, left his home,
taking gun and telling his family he was
going to shoot crows and look for work.
AS he did not come home at noon search
was made for him, when he was found
dead about quarter of a mile from home.
He had shot himself through the head, the
bali entering above the nose and coming
out at the back part of the head, which
must have killed him instantly. He had
been very much depressed in spirits for
some tune past, and the supposltion is that
he committed suicide. n1l nGl loG oH.
