The Boy Who Peppered the Nostrils
of 1000 People.

The spirit of malicious mischief
which has given no respite to the tor
tured spirit of George Russ found an
aperture for wholesale exit in the
numerously attended party at the Har-
ris Works on Friday night. After
long and patient watching, his ex-
pectant vision took in the grand op.
portunity to relief himself at one fell
swoop of the overburdened desire to
inhict his mischievous ingenuity upon
his fellow creatures and achieve that
sudden distinction which comes to
those who enter with the true spirit
OF energy upon the consummation Of
well-laid plains. On Friday afternoon
George purchased quarter of d pound
of cayenne pepper aud placed it safe
ly IN his outside pocket. That night
he attended the party. He had NO
invitation, but George stands not upon
the conventionahties Of that society
which refuses him recognition. He
had business there and he went. Cau-
oioocty hO ChtOlCu tAG CIONuoU IOUIu,
threading bis way here and there, me-
andering to the right, to the left, for
wards, backwards; and as be progress
ed in his travels the quarter of
pound Of cayenne pepper which he
had bought in the afternoon, spread
itself in serpentine shapes upon the
floor of the room. Then George with
drew to a retired corner and enjoyed
the sneczjng an! the excited remarks
of his two thousand victims. He
went home happy that night and
doubtless would have been so still had
not Marshal Crotzenberg pulled him
from under the sidewalk on North
Main street last Saturday afternoon
and taken him to jail. This morning
he was brought to the presence of
Justice Smith to answer to Grimm al
charge, and the upshot of the affair is
that he is sentenced to forty days in
Jail and a fine Of Sl4.90. The sent
ence is severe one, but the offense,
given perhaps more in spirit of mis-
chief than malice, was of an aggravated
nature, and George must furnish the
example for scores of other boys who
are ripe for just such fun.-Janes-
viAe Gazette.

Railroad Disaster at Horizon.

OSHKOSH, September ll.-An
accident that might have proved serious
to quite number Of passengers occurr-
ed at Horizon Junction on yesterday
The morning train on the st. Paul
Road was approaching the switch at
the junction and struck a freight car
projecting on side-track. The bag
gage car was stove in. and the entire
side of the second-class car carried
away before the train could be stopped
All the steps on the side Of the train
wele carried away. The second class
car was occupied by number of
gentlemen who were quietly enjoying
their Havanas when they were flashed
into broad daylight by the sudden
crash and disappearance of the side
Of the car. It is remarkable that no
one was injured by the collision. The
freight-car, through the carelessness
of some one, had been left so as to pro-
iect over the main line several inches.
It was considerably wrecked.

The Polaris.

New York, Sept PA S John
(Newfou dIand) dispatch says: "Grave
doubts are entertained for the safety
of the missing crew of the Polaris.
Nearly three months have elaps sed
since they left their camp. The Es-
quimaux who had wintcred with b I'D
dington's party counted by moons, 90
that the exact time of Budd u ct on's
departure is not known. 1t is believed
to be the middle of June. No records
were found indicating the intenti ons
OF the party, except a memorandum,
written in pencil, dated May Is, 1873,
and stating that Chester, the mate,
bad finished making oars from the
bhlwarks of the Polaris, and had made
good job of it. The Esquim aux
were very reticent. They wished to
be taken to Ponds Bay, whence they
came. 1t was clearly a'mistake to-
leave them behind. It was stated
that Joe, the interpreter, could net
talk their dialect, but when questioned
at Good Haven, he. did not get time
to converse with them. The instru-
ments are supposed to have been
broken by the Esquimaux. When
the Tigress returned to Good Eaven
she was ordered to prosecute a search
in the track Of whalers to the west
ward and northward The season is
an open one. Very little. ice is ahoat
1t is not known when the Tigress will
return. She had thirty days coal on
Aug. 81. The whaling ship Hector
is expected daily from Cumberland
Sound, and may have welcome tidings.
The Juniata is coaling, and viii sait
north Immediately. She will have
considerable difficulty, owing to the
lateness Of the season. The whalers
all return about the middle of Septen-
Der.

Death of an Eccentric Woman.

LOUISVILLE, KY, September s.
Last night at IL o'clock an old lady
about so years Of age, named Mrs
Malinda Crockett, died at her resi-
dence, on the corner Of First and Col
lege streets, under strange circum-
stances. For the last twenty-five
years the old lady has lived on the
corner of the above named streets, and
has seen but few persons during the
time. 1t is said she had gone crazy
on the subject of money, and she is
said to be worth quite large sum of
money. During the past five years
there has not been one in her room
except on young lady, whom she lock-
ed in with her for whole day and
compelled to read the Bible. Her
bed is said to have been alive with
vermin and in horrible condition.
No light has been seen in the house
for the past five years, and it is thought
she has been without fire most Of the
time. She has been supplied with
food by the neighbors living near.
The cause of her death is not known.
No doctor Was called 10. She was
the daughter of Colonel Thomas Buck
ner, who was Sheriff of this (Jefferson)
county about fifty years ago, and wife
of Colonel Crockett, of Fayette county.
She was highly connected.-St. Louis

The Havana Calamity.

New York, Sept. 9.-F. Alexan-
Dire & Sons, Of the New York and
Mexican steamship line, have received
a telegram from Havana to-day, ad-
vising them Of the great confagration
there and the destitution of a large
number of the inhabitants, and ap peal
ing to Americans for aid.
HAVANA, Sept. 8. = The fire of
Saturday night, by which the plaza
Vapor was destroyed, was very dis
astruus one. The total loss is variously
estimated at from s3,00O,OOO to S.
100000. The insurance only amounts
to S524,000, nearly all in English
companies. Notices, have been prompt
ly given that all insurances will be
paid on the 18th inst. Owing to tie
rapidity with which the flames spread
very little property was saved. In
less than three hours from the time
the fire broke out the entire square
was mass of ruins, aud upward of
$500 people who occupied the bull d.
ings are homeless, and nearly all have
lest everything. Great distress pre-
walls among them, and numerous SUBJ
scriptlons have been started for their,
relief. A large amount has already
been raised.

THE MURDERER BENDER. dis
patch dated Kingston, N Y, Septem-
Der 5, says: Information has just
been received that a straggler has been
identified, by lady residing near Area
Green county, N. Y, as Bender the
Kansas murderer. He stopped at her
house for something to eat. While
eating he was recognized and question
ed by the lady He denied that he
was Bender, and hastily left the house
and started for the mountains. On
his way he was met by boy, to whom
he said if any one inquired for him he
would be at certain place. Search
was made for him there but he could
not be found. The lady insists that
it was Bender with whom she boarded
while teaching school in Kansas. The
mountains are now being secured fo
the supposed Bender Buffalo En-
press.

1 Manif1cent Gas.Well Discovered.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, September 10
At Butlcr, which is some forty miles
from here, parties boring for oil day
or two ago were startled by q fearful
rumbling, which shook the earth.
The sand pump was flung into the air,
aud the pondrous iron tools were al
most lifted from the depths below.
After the withdrawal No oil greeted
the gaze Of the workmen, but mighty
rushing, waving column of gas shot
into the air some hundred feet or
more. The atmosphere was stirred
as ii by whlrlwind, aud was the aw-
fps.souud made by the liberated vapor
issuing from the rocky prison that had
shut it In for countless ages, that at a
distance Of three miles off men stopped
their work and listened in wonder.
The sound was compared to some
monster steamer blowing off her levi
athan boilers. To approach near the
we'll was a feat attended with almost
total temporary deafness, aud, incredi-
BILE as it may seem, it was found i'm
possible to hold a pocket-knife, edge
down, over the Aperture of the we'll
No exact calculations were possible
in such case, but from the fact that
weight Of $500 pounds was insult
cient to bring an iron cap within six
inches Of the opening Of the we'll, it
was inferred that the gas escaped With
a pressure of 600 to 800 pounds per
square inch. AT 100 pounds per
Square inch it was alculated that the
quantity Of gas escaping from this we'll
was 100000 cubic feet per hour,
and all this wealth of Illuminating
material is projected into the air. A
project is on foot to carry the gas to
this city through pipeline of forty
miles, at a cost of 100000.

Scalped.

OSHKOSH, Sept. 9.-The girl,
Amelia Grunmell who had her scalp
torn off In shingle-mill, is still alive,
and will probably recover She was
working under shaft which was 60
ing at the rate cf 200 revolutions per
minute, when her hair, which was
very long, caught in the knuckie-j joint,
and in an instant it was torn entirely
from her head, taking with 1t all the
flesh and muscles on her head. From
a line drawn around from each eye
brow, her skull was left white and
bare, without trace Of blood or flesh.
The strangest part Of the accident is
that she felt little or no pain, declaring
that when it was being torn off all that
she realized was tickling sensation
in head. She coolly walked out Of
the room and waited patiently for a
buggy to take her home. Her only
regret was the fright it would give her
mother. The scalp, with its beautiful
long locks of hair, was carled aud en-
twined around the shaft at the joint,
and when the mill was stopped it was
taken down but no one had sufficient
presence of mind to replace it upon
her head. 1t is nearly perfect, and
the DOCTORS have determined to tan it
with the hair on, SO that if the girl
RECEIVERS it may be used as wig.
The case is one of the most remarkable
on record, and has created a feeling
of intense horror here Cor. Chicago

FOREIGN LIST.
A Persian Lady.

The mother of the Shah of Persia i:
thus described by a recent writer, who
being lady herself, may be presumed
to have had quick eye to discern the
peculiarities Of the PersiaR toilet Sht
says: THE Shah's mother was dressed
with great magniicence. She wore 9
pair Of trousers made of gold brocade
These Persian trousers are always very
wide, each leg being wider than the skirt
of gown, so that they have the effect
of an exceedingly ample petticoat, and
as crinolines are unknown, the elegantes
wear ten and eleven pairs of trousers
one over the other (They call Euro.
pean lady's dress trousers with one leg }
The trousers Of the Shah's mother were
edged with border of pearls embroid
cred on braid. She had a thin blue
Grape chemisette, also trimmed with
pearls, nearly meeting Me top OF the
trousers, which are fastened with a
string. A small jacket Of velvet was
over the chemisette reaching to the
waist, and on the head a small shawl,
studded with pearls and diamonds, and
pinned under the chin. Her arms were
covered with handsome bracelets, and
her neck with costly necklaces. Her
hair was in bands, and hung down in a
multitude of small plaits. She wore no
shoes, her feet being covered with fine
cashmere stockings. The palms Of her
hands and the tips OF her fingers were
stained with henna, her cheeks were we'll
rouged, and her eyelids and eyebrows
were covered with antimony.

The Atlanta (Georgial Herald gives
the following advice TO a man with q
capital Of $1,000, and which reads very
much like counting chickens before they
are hatched: with $500 he can pur-
chase 1000 good hens; an additional $50
will buy him 100 cocks. Let him then
rent good piece Of grassy land near the
city. and expend $40 in fixing up chicken
coops, nests and fencings. II be can
then with the balance Of his money pur-
chase a cheap horse and secondhand
wagon, he is ready for business. His
hens will furnish him, at a low estimate,
an average OF COO eggs a day the year
round-though, for certain purposes, let
us say so dozen per day. he can secure
steady sale for them al an average OF
cents per dozen, or s. 90 day, OF, N
round figures, $4,000 a year. The food
Of those fowls may be literally put at
$3.50 per annum, aud, with the little gar
den patch which should be cultivated,
the bee hives which should fringe the
house, the COW that should be carefully
attended to, the man and his family
could easily live on $1,000 q year. Put
ting his rent at $500 cash per annum,
one would have profits Of $l5O0-quite a
handsome thing. The man with thou
sand dollars is really affiuent. il he only
knew it.
