\ THEATRR STRUCK BY LlGHrNiSG--
FREAKS OF TIE FLUID on TIE STAGE.-During
the storm prevailing yesterday afternoon the
Front-Strcct Theatre was struck by light
ming, hut fortunately no material damage
was done, though a portion Of the cupola
surrounding the building was "ku0cked
into cooked hat" A vivid streak of light,
ming descended almost pcrpendicularly al
about q O'Clock L. NJ, while Il rehearsal OF
the exciting drama OF the French Spy
wa, in progress the stage being occupied at
the time by 4 number @! actors, Including
some ladies. The lightning, after tearing the
top of the cupola into fragments, bhckenine
the zinc and wood, fortunately did not sci
fire to the structure, owing probably to the
heavy rain which was falling at the time.
The electric fluid was attracted byan iron
eas-pipe which had been run up into the GU
polu, and formerly used to furnish gas Tor
the light which some years ago was display
ed from the top Of the building every eve
ming While performances were gong ON.
Following the course Of the gas-pipe. the
lightning passed down into the theatre, flash
cd along the footlights, momcntarily lighted
up one of the scenes Of the French spy, ana
skipped along the gas-fiXtures until 1t reach
ed the front door. through which it passed
to the street, where ii buried itself III the
earth. The strangest feature OF the Nlslta-
ton was that nothing WAS burned in the
building though the electric flame was OF
considerable bulk and apparently over foot
in length. In the bar-room 4 colored man
was shocked, and one or two other persons
in the building felt the effect Of the clectri.

had been vacated hut few minutes by the
musicians, otherwise there might have been

a polfT1cal LAwsufr, suit 81 now
pending In New York city, whose prospee-
tive decision will have peculiar significance,
us tenuinS to regulate the market value of
journalistic assistance. The well.known
Journalist }. @. Thompson has sued Gen.
erai Franz Sigel for about sc, 040. and in his
affidavit he makes the following statements:
In 1868 and 1870 sigel employed Thompson
to secure FOR him an appointment to high
diplomatic Office under the Government, and
IN those two years, as we'll rs the one inter-
ycning (1S69), Thompson was engaged in de-
lending him against aspersions cast upon his
military record. When the General was nomi-
mated for Register of the city and county of
New York he engaged Thompson to assist him
IN the campaign by inserting personal puffs in
tue newspapers. and distributing cartoon
cai!en the " Sanlcse Twins" about the city in
S'Scls interest. On the eve Of the cam
lAieh an address to the people of New York
appeared over Sigcls name, the authorship
OF which Thompson now claims. as well as
That OF an after article called "Criticisms Of
the Campaign attributing the success of
the ticket to the Generals popularity. SINH
lar services have been rendered the present
year. according to the plaintiffs showing.
TO all this Si9cl's answer is a general denial,
with the addcndum that whatever Thomp-
son did for him was as an act Of friendship.

Greelcy's First job in New York.

In 1880 Greeley left Poultney, and
after sojourning Il year around Lake
Erie, and working IN various printing
offices, turned his steps toward the city
of New York, where he arrived III the
early morning of Aug. II. 1881, tall,
slender, pale, ungainly, his entire stock
of this worlds goods consisting of a
shabby summer suit, a very small bundle
tied up in pocket handkerchief, and a
ten dollar bill, the whole ready cash in
cluded, being dear at $50. And now
this raw country lad, without an ac
qualntance in the great metropolis.
commenced search for work at the art
preservatlve of all arts. Up and down
the stairs of printing Office he went, in
most instances n single side glance at
his shambliDg figure being enough to
bring out in growing tones, " We've no
other respects, the counteDance and
voice OF the tall, thin lad ought to have
satisfied those to whom he applied for
chance Mt the case or the press that
though he might be poor printer he
was neither liar nor rogue. And yet,
so keen an observer of men as the late
David Hale, then OF the Journal cf CvH-
merce, did not hesitate to tell poor Gree
ley that he was q runaway apprentice,
and he pretty thoroughly frightened him
by threatening his arrest on the spot.
At length, after visiting more printing
Offices than he had previously supposed
the whole country contained, and just as
he was eating up his last shilling at a
cheap lodging house, he, following the
direction of some young Irishmen whom
he accidentally met, found small job
of work which, as he afterward ascer-
tanned, was so difficult of execution, and
was paid fo- at such low rates, that
other printers had refused to do it and
so it fell into the hands of the compare
lively inexperienced Green Mountain
apprentice.

A New York Stock Corner.

New York city has just passed through
another Of those " corners" which every
few weeks so eflectually arouse her.
This time it was in Northwestern Rail
way stock, and drew into it some of the
leading brokers and spectators of the
city, including Daniel Drew, Jay Gould
and others. BY the corner Northwestern
stock was forced up from say 6Oa65 to
200, many Of the settlements being
however made at from 1875 to 175. Gould
and Smith, former partners, but now
operating against each other were prom
inent actors in the fight, and out OF this
grew the arrest OF Gould charged with
approprating to his own use S9,500,-
900 belonging to the Erie road.
During the corner Northwestern
stock would vary from 100 to l6O and
200 in few hours, but the combination
was strong enough t keep it from 60
ing down to legitimate figures until they
had accomplished their object. The
losses of sc me of the spectators must
be immense. One man it is said had to
draw upon his bank account fully two
million dollars to settle ; another to the
tune OF ST., 5000, 900 and so on through
the chapter. II is claimed that the ring
made from SS,000,000 to S12, 2,000,0 900,
but Of course they alone know the
amount which the corner has put to then
credit. 1t may be more-lt can scarcely
be less then the figures given above.
The "corner" unsettled the stock mar
ket to such an extent that in Wall street
little sympathy if felt for the losers, and
the only regret is that all concerned in
the corner did not lose by it.
