WICKED BOY.

They say that the chief astronomer
at the Washington Observatory was
dreadfully sold few days ago. A
wicked boy, whose Sunday school ex-
perience seems only to have made him
more depraved, caught FREELY, and
stuck it, with the aid of some muci-
lege, in the centre of the largest lens
in the telescope. That night, when
the astronomer went TO work, he per-
ceived blaze of light apparently in
The heavens, and what amazed him
more was that it would give a couple
of spurts and then die out, only to
burst forth in a second or two. He
examined it carefully for few mo-
ments, and then began to do sums to
discover where in the heavens that ex,
tracrdinary star was placed. He
thought he found the locality, and the
next morning he telgraphed all over
the universe that he had discovered a
new aud remarkable star of the third
magnitude in Orion. In a day or two
all the astronomers in Europe and
America were studying Orion, and
they gazed at il for hours until they
got mad, and then began to telegraph
to the man in Washington to know
what he meant. The discoverer took
another look and found that tho new
star had moved about eighteen billion
miles in twenty four hours, and upon
examining 1t closely was alarmed to
perceive that it had legsl When he
went on the dome, the next morning,
to polish his glass, he found the light
ming bug. People down at Alexndria,
seven miles distant, heard part of the
swearing, and they say he infused into
it much whole-souled sincerity and
vigorous energy. The bills for tele.
graph dispatches amounted to $4,000,
and now, the astronomer wants to find
the boy, as he wishes to consult with
him about something.

BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE,

A curious story of the bringing to
life of man who had committed sui
eide by hanging at Val.de- Grace, Can.
ton, Friburg, is told by the Confdeye.
On the first diagnosis the doctors af-
firmed that asphyxti was complete !;
the body gave not the slightest sign of
life, it being blue and rigid. One of
the physicians present, however, would
not leave the corpse without making a
final experiment on it. He uncover
ed the breast, and attempted for some
time to induce respiration by artificial
means but without result. He then
applied the pole of an electric battery
to the passage of the pneumo- gastric
nerves, and caused strong current to
pass at intervals of four second. AL
most Immediately feeble signs of res
piration reappeared. Five minutes
afterwards the radical pulse and the
cardiac pulse became perceptable. The
epigoltist was tumified and it was nec-
essary to pull the tongue out of the
mouth with pair of pincers in order
to render the respiration freer. A few
ounces of blood were then drawn from
the mediocephalic vein. The dilated
pupils contracted gradually and the
signs of life became more and more
manifest. The patient was then able
to swallow a small quantity of alco-
hol. Finally slight muscular con-
traction was perceptible without the
intervention of electricity the siusibil,
ity of the cornea reappeared /; then the
feet became warm again, and soon af-
ter the regular pulsations of the carotie
arteries were easily perceptible.

DIFFERENT STYLES OF DANCING.


The fashion Of dancing is not at all
cosmopolite-Dot even national. In
Saratoga the different styles make q
medley.
If you see a 200 pound man and wo-
man perspiring around with their
pompous bodies tossed lightly and
springily in air, arms swayiDg, keep
ing good time, and making grand
Persian salaams for a bow in the
Lancers, you can set them down as be-
longing to the old Tweed Fisk Leland
Americas Club school.
If you see two heated young people
tripping fast away ahead of the music,
taking short steps, and jerking TIN ough
a square dance as if the house was on
fire and the sci must be completed be-
fore any one could take to the fre-es-
capes, you can set them down as from
the plantation districts of. the South
or the rural districts of Pennsylvania
and the West. 1t is the steamboat
quickstep.
If you see black eyed youth with
long hair, and young lady with
liquid black eyes, and she has her two
hands on the young mans shoulders at
full length, and she stands directly in
front of him, and they both go hop
ping around like Siamese twins with
wire springs under them, you can wa.
ger they are from Louisville, Memphis,
or Little Rock. They have the square
toed wrestling step.
IT you see young fellow grasp a
young lady firmly around the waist,
seize her wrist, stick her hand out like
the bowsprit of Sound yacht, and
both hump up their backs like pair
of mad cats on door-yard fence, and
then go sliding slam-bang against peo.
pie. over people, through people, up
and down the room, sidewise, back
ward, and up and down like a saw
mill gate, you can bet on them having
learned their dancing from the Morris
town, Riverdale, and Workers. socia-
bles. 1t is the suburban New York
saw-mill jump-up.
If you see couple sliding gently
and slowly and lazily through the Lam
GERS, just half as fast as the time, but
keeping step with the music, quietly
sauntering through the "grand chain,"
too languid to whirl partners, talking
sweetly all the time, as if they were
strolling in graveyard, you can rest
assured that they are from New York,
and from the most fashionable section
between Madison square and the Park.
This is the graveyard saunter step.
If you see fellow clasp a girl melt
ingly in his arms, squeeze her hand
warmly, hold her swelling bosom to
his, and they both go floating down
the room locked in each others en-
brace, looking like one person, his feet
only now and then protruding from
profusion of illusion and lace and SO
on, rely upon it you can set the two
down as belonging to the intense Boston
school. 1t is the melting Harvard
jacket-race embrace.
Massachusetts, take our hat!-ER

The Flushing. Long Island Time

The Flushing, Long Island Times
tells this: The wife of prominent
judge in this county, while riding home
by rail recently, was approached by
the conductor for her ticket. With
out looking up from the pages of the
book in which she was absorbed she
thrust her hand into her pocket and
handed him what she supposed to be
ticket. In a moment or two she be-
came conscious that he was still stand
ing by her side, and looking up she
beheld, to her infinite notification and
the no small amusement of the pass
engers, the conductor gazing with the
utmost disgust upon fine-tooth comb !!
1t was remarked by the passengers
that the scenery along the route was
remarkably fascinating to Mrs. Judge
the remainder of the journey.
An experienced husband in Lafay-
ette sent two switches home to his wife,
from which she was to make selec-
ton, but before doing it he changed
the tags, putting the S25 one on the
$40 switch, and vice versa. After a
critical examination by herself and
lady friends, the choice fell upon the
one labeled s25, and she decided to
keep it, Notwithstanding her husbands
plaintive protest that he could not af-
ford to pay more than $40 for such an
article.
After Mr.. Casey had finished read,
ing the Declaration" on the Fourth
at Mound City, Illinois, a man rose
and moved that the speech be pub
lished, as it was one of the best speech,
es ho had ever "heern" in his life.

A DEsPIsABLE MULE.

The negro and mule, writes friend
in Clinton Louisiana, are inseperable
companions in the Southern cotton
fields, and like the Hawaiian string
and bow, useless each without the other.
The lazy indifference and careless cru
city of the one, and wonderful powers
of endurance of severe labor, bad
treatment and neglect of the other,
complete the compatibility of the two
races necessary for the production Of
four millions of bales. A characters.
tic anecdote may be relished by those
who have had experience of the two.
The spectator had taken refuge from
the suns perpendicular rays under the
shade of spreading beach, sab teq-
niue tagi and lay recumbent, enjoying
the fitful breezes and the sombre frothi-
hess of the country newspaper, Along
the dusty road which passed by this
retreat came jogging negro, mounted
on a mule, both apparently asleep.
As the somnolent pair approached the
spot, some wicked spirit of the place
gave the paper flirt, which no sooner
seen and heard than the mule, as
mules only know hcw, instantly
"swapped ends" and leaving the negro
sprawling in the dirt, took his depart,
ure under full sail. The negro, hall
raising himself and wiping the dusl
from his eyes and mouth, watched the
retreating mule for some time in ST
lence, but at length. unconscious OF
an auditor gave expression to thiI
philosophic soliloquy:
Oats what makes me 'spise

Way down South, in the days be-

that Sam, who could not read, was

AFRoNrIER EDITOR.


A Bismark, Dakota Territory, Coz
respondent writes: l was escorted
around Bismark the evening of my ar
rival by Mr.. Lounsberry, the editor of
the Bismarck Tribune. He had been
Colonel in the army and was full of
bullet wounds, and he had voluntari.
ally left good position on the Mime.
apolis Tribune ard puts his little pile
OF savings into newspaper venture at
this lonely settlement, nearly twelve
hundred miles northwest of Chicago.
He showed me, with pride, his office
arising under the hammers of the car
penters, and his press and fonts of type,
and the compositors he had paid to
come with him more than six hundred
miles from St. Paul.
Said 1: "What did all this cost
your"
"Four thousand dollars before
shall issue number of my paper"
Don't you feel little nervous
about the prospect here ?"
"Well," said Lounsberry, "I have
studied it all. There is bound to be a
large town at the Missouri river cross
ing, and | have some years left and
can wait"
did the railroad give you an
help?"
"Only transportation"
"Well," thought l to myself, "if
such chap as this tries such hope,
| won't drive nail in his oross.'
Go on, Lounsberry, and may the
world grow up around you and sub
scribers be plentiful. There is some
thing in this northern country when
there are such game fellows to begin
with.
1t was even touching to see this
most banished Of all newspaper men
who must have loved society like all
our tribe acquainted already with
every male being in Bismark, and
looking on all with equal charity and
consideration, as they seemed to be
proud and tender with him.
"Advertise ?" said Shaw, the leading
merchant; Eyes, sir! Advertising is
the life of business"
A little town needs to keep the edi-
tor up to his work for, Lord bless us,
we expect heap of comfort out OF
that newspaper of his'n."
"Come in, Lounsberry," said Ed.
Martin, the great gambler whose place
was full of sweat cloths and faro box
es-a mighty plank shanty, lined with
tables of chance-"and is this George
Afford? We all know him. Gentle
men, anything in the house is yours.
This newspaper is tech of mater that
makes the whole world kim"
So did Mr.. Shang, the gambler, who
had killed his man, show some mysteri-
Gus tenderness for the institutions of
society moving up, and his loud, bully
ing voice was brought down to con-
veisational tone as he addressed us.
Here where there was no law of any
description-Dakota having made no
provision for county government at
this distant point-the coming news
paper seemed to strike American hu-
man nature, and give it the attach
ments of society, and a certain pining
for authority and protection among
the worst classes. All around about
the little hutted city the vast plains of
grass extended to the sky, and the
stars seemed wide apart in the enor-
nous armament as they looked wide
open downward upon the preposterous
town. But there was not trader in
Bismark who did not look as saucily
back, and say, "By Cad old blinkers
up there, you'll get used TO us after
awhile; we've come to stay"

THE RACES.

In the races there was the best field
of horses ever on the grounds, thirty-two
in all having been entered, among them
some of the best in this part Of the couu-
try and consequently there was some Of |
the finest trotting ever witnessed here.
Although the races were not SO evenly
matched, and closely contested, as some
previous ones, everybody,-the horse
owners, the drivers and the people,
seemed perfectly satisfied with them
and went away feeling that the judges
had been impartial and given, in every
instance, the heats and purses to the
horses to which they belonged.
