Sharp as Well as Njse.

A Hindoo priest called in all the m en-
bers OF large family, one Of whom was
known to have committed theft, and
addressed them thus Take each of Won
one OF these sticks, which are of an equal
length, and put them under your pil.
lows tonight. l do not at present know
the offender, but you must return the
sticks to me tomorrow morning and
the one belonging to the thief will have
grown an inch during the night" The
family retired to rest; but before he
went to sleep, the man who had commit
ted the theft, thinking to outwit the
priest, ounningly cut off an inch from
his stick, firmly believing, by this means,
to attain the length of the others by
next morning. The sticks were return
ed, and, by comparing them, the priest
was instantly able to pitch upon the of
fender, to his great surprise and dismay.
Here is another instance of similar
acutt ness:
In certain city large quantity of
cotton had been stolen. The cotton
dealers brought their complaints before
the king. Notwithstanding all the search
that was made, the thieves remained un-
discovered. An aimer said that, if he
were commanded, he could discover the
thieves, and the king ordered him to do
SO. The aimer went home, and, under
Pretence of making a feast, invited all
the men of the city, small and great.
When all the people met together, and
had seated themselves, the aimer Joined
the company, and looking every man in
the face, said:
"What ill born, impudent blockheads
these men are, who, having stole the cot
ton, are come to my feast with it stick
ing on their boards T"
Some persons instantly put their hands
to their boards, and thereby discovered
themselves to be thieves. The king re-
warded the aimer for the Continuance.

Fire.PrOOf Wood.

In the general discussion now going
on as to rendering buildings proof
against fire, we are surprised to see that
no reference is made to any process for
rendering wood less combustlbley When
the wood pavement in Main and Market
streets was put down our readers will re-
member that we were told the wood was
"buInettized," and that it would neither
rot nor burn. Being skeptical on this
subject we picked up some pieces and
put them in the furnace under our boil
er, where, to our astonishment and salts
faction, we found they would only
shoulder and gradually waste under the
intense heat, not at any time breaking
out into blaze. A building with tim
bers burnettized would be more fire-proof
than if it had iron beams, for they would
not throw down the walls by their ex-
panding and contracting. The process
of burnettizing is well-known one, and
comparatively inexpensive. 1t should
be more generally used in preparing
timbers for building, as well as for other
purposes.-PO'keepSie Eagle.

Runaway Horses.

Realizing that it is very easy to give
directions about stopping runaway
horses. much easier indeed than it is to
put them in practice, the ChristiGn Union
ventures the following hints
IT you are in wagon and the horse
takes fright, and gets ON full Jump be-
fore you can bring your strength to bear
on the bits, there is nothing to be done
but to fsld on and try your best to stop
him, saving" if necessary, on the bit.
Failing in this, you can perhaps keep
him in the road until his wind gives out,
or should q good opportunity occur you
may turn him against a fence or the
side of house, or. in fact, against any
thing that will stop him. This last is
dangerous recourse, but we have seen it
done with success. When span of
horses are running the difficulty is in
creased, and more strength, more Skill
and better luck on the part of the driver
are very desirable qualities. A strong
hand and determined will nearly al
ways suffice to stop runaways, if moth
ing breaks. If the lines break or the
bits give way, an active person may,
without much difficulty, climb over the
dash board, get on the animals back,
and check him by graspins his nose
Leaping from the carriage while the
horse is running is almost certain to in
volve more CIR less injury. An active
person may do it safely, but it is the part
of pluck, and generally that of wisdom,
to stay by the carriage as long as the
traces hold. When the horse is fairly
stopped, treat him kindly, and if posi-
BILE, let him stand until his nerves are
quoted. If horse is running toward
you, courage and adroitness may enable
you to stop him. If you can secure a
hold on the reins, or one of them near
the bits, you are all right. Hold on,
aud within few rods at most, the horse
will stop, unless he is most extraordi-
nary animal. In the case of span, if
you stop one horse, the other must stop,
too, If nothing gives way. We can tell
those who have never tried it that il is
not pleasant pastime to stand by the
roadside and watch the approach of a
frantic horse, making calculation the
while to catch some part of the harness.
Still it can be done, and is done many
times during every year. A runaway
was stopped in this city a short time
ago by boy, who climbed into the
wagon from behind, passed forward and
along the thills till he could reach the
reins, when he placed himself astrlde the
animal and stopped him within three
squares. An equestrian has better
chance every way to check his horse
than has the driver of a vehicle. One
trouble is, that the motion of the ami
NAL causes his name to stream out and
embarass the riders hold on the lines.
This, however, is minor difficulty, and
an equestrian who has firm seat ought
to be able either to check the horse or
steer him clear of all obstacles until he is
glad TO stop.

New York Theatres.

COL T. B. Thorpe, one of the long ago
writer's for the best periodical of its time,
The RniekerJOcker," furnishes one of his
interesting sketches to Appleton's Journal
of recent date, entitled "The Old Thea
tres of New York, 175O.1S27," from
which we extract the 70 lowing, ans
wish we had room for the article entire
awhile the British feld possession of
New York City, John Street Theatre
was called the Royal Theatre, and Ma
jor Andre, who was an accomplished ar
tist, painted many of the scenes. By
this appropriation to royal uses the
building was saved from the degradation
OF being converted into stable or bar
racks. AT the close of the Revolution
the name was changed to the New
York Theatre While Washington was
resident in our city as President, he fire.
quently attended the theatre and one
of the members of the company was
so much favorite that Washington
complimented him by attending his ben
eft At this theatre was produced the
first American play ever put upon the
stage.
ION the Sd of March, 1894, Mrs. Hat
ton, member Of the stock company, and
a sister of Mrs. Siddons, to win the pa
triotic sympathy of the public, wrote a
play called Tammany, at the first per-
formance of which the society 30 named
was present in body. Evacuation
Day was for q generation the favorite
anniversary of the New Workers, and
the year ending the first decade was ded-
icated to unusual rejoicings. There were
at the time q number of ships of the
French Republic in the hsrbor, which
joined their salvos of artillery with our
own, and filled our streets with gayly-
dressed officers. On this occasion John
Street Theatre presented spectacle
in front OF the stage that possessed a
national interest. On one side the boxes
were entirely filed with the French ma
val officers, in full uniform; opposite,
and in equal numbers, were American
officers, representing every arm of the
service, also in full uniform. Subor-
dinates, sailors, soldiers, Of both nations,
crowded the pit. Along with the i'm
posing ceremony of 'entwining' the flags
of the two republics, was introduced the
singing of the Marseillaise Hymn
The electrified audience rose, simultane-
eusly; the French effcers vociferously
joined in the chorus. The Americans
caught the spirit of this demonstration,
and clapped their hands, and gave cheer
after cheer of appreciation and encour-
agement. Shout followed shout of
Long live FranceP = which was replied
to by 'Vivent les Americ.'insp The play
that followed was the 'Grecian DaHgh-
ter; and, when the heroine saved her
father by striking the tyrant to the
earth, the suppressed sentiment of liber-
ty and fraternity broke forth with re-
newed peals and shouts of enthusiasm,
such as were never before and will never
again be heard within the walls of the
atre."

DIAMOND There is an end
of the Arizona diamond hoax at last. A
party sent out from San Francisco TO
make geological survey of the diamond
region has returned and made its report.
The chief of the expedition, Err. Clar.
ence King, asserts that in the places
where he found small diamonds and ru
bies there was abundant evidence that
the process known to California miners
as Sailing" had been performed. In
other words, the gems had been brought
and placed where Mr.. King found them
He unhesitatihgly declares that no dia
monds or rubits can be found in the
neighborhood, except those that have
been brought there with intent to de.
ceive," and that the whole story of the
Arizona diamond field is the work of
swiDdlers, We have never credited the
preposterous reports which have appear
ed from time TO time in reference to
these Arizona gems, aAd those who have
gone to search for them have dons so
IN spite OF our repeated warnings.

THE Court OF CLAIMs.-It appears
from the official stat ment of the United
States Court of Claims that during the
year ensing Dec. l, l20 cases were de-
cided, seventy of which we've on account
of proceeds of cotton captured by Uni
ted States military forces. The aggre-
gate amount claimed for the cotton was
$2,270,U00, and the award of the Court
in these cases was $l,4l3,00O. The high
est award was $474.00U, or 100000 less
than the amount claimed. The Court
allowed S4l 600 for proceeds of sale OF
$4,000 in Bank of Louisiana notes, be-
ing the amount of claimants deposit
with that bank at the date OF the seizure
OF the same, under the order Of General
Banks. In August, 1888.

The Poor Horse.

In Brooklyn, New York, stable was
burned and in the flames seventy-tive,
out of one hundred horses in the build
ing perished in the flames. The seventy
five horses were roasted to death. A
New York paper in speaking of the af-
fair says: The poor animals had no
power to tell their TEXTURES, or even to
ask the men whom they had so faithfully
served to avoid i'll future placing horse
life in such danger. 1t is hard enough
to be slaves to humanity without beng
subjected to such torment. But the
risk of fire is not the only hazard to
which great portion of the horses en-
ployed in our cities are exposed. They
are kept by hundreds together in close,
damp, underground cellars, where man
can hardly breathe. 1t seems not to be
considered by some of our large owners
that horses require far more oxygen than
man, and that to deprive them of it by
stabling them in crowded confined
places, is to invite disease and shorten
their lives. There are thousands of val
liable animals in New York city thus
abused, and it is no wonder that they
fall easy victims to contagion, or if in
case Of a fire they are consumed by
scores. They deserve better treatment
in this respect, and the owners would
serve their own interests by making bet
ter provisions for their dumb servants.

FAMINE IN CoREA.-Advices from ia
pan state that a terrible famine is raging
in Corea, which insists OH keeping its
ports closed against the entrance of for
eign vessels with food. The regent has
seized all the crops for the public general
benefit, but these do not suffice to feed
every one, and multitudes are dying. If
this report is true, the apprehended In
vasion OF Japan by the Coreans will
probably not take plaes.
