The neighbors thought, from the terri.
BILE crash, that house had fallen down,
and rushing into the street, were aston
ished to learn the real nature Of the disass
ter. Half dozen men, on being appraised
by the hysterical female occupants of the
row, that there was a child under the
boiler, fastened to procure q lot of scant-
ling, as levers, and pry it off. The poor
child was crushed and mangled beyond
recognition. Her little fingers were still
around the rope she had been turning,
and, with her disengaged hand she
seemed still reaching out for her play
mates. The tive children were probably
killed by the boiler as 1t bounded from
the street, and instantly. Their taking off
was as If they had been transhxed by a
thunder-bolt from cloudless sky.
The names of the children were Cora
Kohl, Emma Forbus, and Alice Thorn
ton. Two of them-Alice and Emma
lived in the row of buildings in front of
which the boiler fell; the other, Cora,
lived on Baymiller street, above Poplar
1t was Alice who was crushed by the boil
er. She had just been dressed to come
douIn tarun, and uUaH playing ON tho eido-
walk till her mother came to take her.
Little Emma had all the medical attention
that could be given her, but her case was
considered hopeless from the first, and it
was not believed that she would live
through the night.

My arm stiffened in moment, as the

The Pole Kat.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.

MY friend, did yu ever examin the fra
grant pole kat clussly?
l guess not they are a kTitter that
won't bear examining with microskope.
They are butiful beings, but oh how
deceptive
Their habits are phew, but unique.
They bid their houses out ov earth and
the houses hav but one door tew them,
and that IL front door.
When they enter their houses they don't
shut the door after them.
They are called pole kats bekause it il
not convenient tew kill them with klub,
but with pole, and the longer the pole
the more convenient.
Writers on natral history, disagree
about the right length ov the pole teW be
used, but would suggest that the pole
be about 1855 feet, espeshily II the wind IL
in favor ov the pole kat
hav kaught skunks in trap. They
are eazier tew git into trap than tew git
out ov it,
In taking them out ov a trap crate
judgment must be had not tew shake
them up the more yu shake them up the
more ambrosial they am.
One pole kat in township is enuff es-
peshily if the wind changes once in a
while.
A pole kats skin IL wuth 2 dollars, in
market, after it IL skinned, but it IL wuth
8 dollars and fifty cents tew skin him.
This IL one way tew make 12 shillings,
in wet day.-N Y. Weekly.

DYEING BLACK SILK,-A German au-

the following directions for dyeing black
silk piece goods: Clean the silk in the
usual way with soda, wash off the fluid,
and pass the fabrics through tepId bath
containing little tumeric and vitriol
Wash them once more, and leave them
during one night in bath of solution
of nitrate of iron of the strength of So
B. On taking out, wash them well, and
put them in a bath containing fustic and
logwood, increasing the heat by degrees.
If the silks be overdyed by the last pro-
cess (this will be detected by its brown
color, put them through slightly acid
bath, If not, put them in lukewarm
bath, containing soda and the double
muriate of lin in the proportion of two
parts to three; leave them in this bath till
the requisite shade is produced,
