An Edlfying Spectacle.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean says that
there is at present performing in one of
the concert halls of that city q gentle
man known as Dibolo. "Mr. Dibolo's
mission upon earth appears to be to de-
vour red hot Goals and subject his
tongue to process of SINCE by drawing
across 1t red hot poker. To the unin-
ltlated his performance certainly tran
sends the laws of nature. He appears
upon the platform 1--WE cannot altogeth-
er call it stage) clad in the fiery garb
OF Mephistophiles. After little pre-
hminary speech in which he blows his
own horn with remarkable ability, his
satanic majesty takes lump of burning
charcoal, puts it into his mouth, and
eats it like a chocolate caramel. He next
takes stick of sealing-wax, which he
heats to a flame, and then chews it like
stick of candy. He then calls two in
telligent imbibers of lager-beer from the
audience, and bids them watch him heat
piece OF lead, after heating which he
sups the contents with red-hot spoon,
and, shortly thereafter, drops the solid1-
fed lead out of his mouth. His per-
formance closes by drawing red-hot
poker across his tongue. 1t is not by
any means pleasing exhibition, still il
illustrates principle lolg known te
scientific men-that the skin can be
trained, by the use of certain chemicals,
to stand the severest test of heat. The
mans mouth looks like blackened pit,
his eyes have wild glare, and his APP.
pearance is that of one "sicklied o'el
with the pale cast of fire."

An Indians Grave.

The Toledo (Ohio) Blade of Saturday
describes some Indian remains recently
found in that neighborhood as follows ::
cat point little below Manhattan,
on the banks of the Maumee, the water
has gradually washed away the road
bed to such an extent as to make it
necessary to remove the fence and
make a new road While engaged in
this work yesterday, the workmen un-
earthed O human skeleton, evidently
the remains of famous chief of the
Maumee or Ottawa tribe of Indians
The skull was of an unusually large
size, and in the lower jaw was a
row of double teeth, in better state of
preservation than many now doing daily
duty. A lock of the great chiefs hair
was also found, long, black, and thick.
When laid in his lonely grave, the chief
was enshrouded in the skins of wild
animals, which are now nearly gnawed
away by the tooth of time. Upon his
breast were number of once glittering
spangles ; the legs were also literally
bespangled, and around his neck had
been suspended o mammoth brooch.
The warriors wrists had been encircled
with pair of silver wristlets, as bright
and fresh when found, apparently, as
when the red men first left him for
the happy hunting grounds" perhaps
fifty years ago. The accoutrements of
war were also there-a tomahawk and
knife of stone, and arrow-heads of flint.
These ornaments, spangles, &C., would
probably fill pint measure, and alto.
gether 60 to show that the dead warrior
had been famous man of his age and
race. Stimulated by the hope of find
ing more relics, Mr.. Hertzler renewed
the search, and soon unearthed a stone
Ratchet, more arrow-heads, and cop.
per bucket, in good state of preserva
ton, except the iron handle, which had
nearly corroded away. This neighbor-
hood was once evidentlya favorite place
of assembly and sepulture, as many
Indian relics have at times been found,
and just across the river is an old In
dian burying-ground, which no doub
holds many interesting mementoes O.
that primitive race" ny '.t.s t@t. /

Mistaken for a Deer.

The Bay City mich. Tribune men,
tions the narrow escape of young man
from death, near Beaver Lake. 1t says
that Frank Rummell, who had on a
coat resembling in color deer, stop
ped to rest while strolling through the
wood with friend, and while sitting
on log heard the whiz of bullet, and
instantly felt it strike him. The ball
entered the right arm at the elbow,
passed through, grazing the bone, and
coming out of the forearm. 1t appears
that another young man named
Thomas, who was out hunting, saw
Rummell's arm move, and installing it
for the neck of deer, fred. He after
wards stated that he had once been
told by an old hunter to fire at the
neck Of deer always, and that if this
advice had not been given him he
should have fred at Rummell's body.
Had he done this Rummell would prob
ably have been killed, as Thomas aim
was very direct, and the ball hit its
mark, although he was twenty rods dis
tant when he fired.

Her Spring Hat.
How the Average Woman Constructs
Her Head Gear.

How the Average Woman Constructs
Her Head Gear.
A woman who is considering the mat
ter of her spring hat is an interesting
subject for contemplation. First she
buys a straw frame that looks as if it
had been struck by hurricane and
tken sat down ON by a Coroner's jury.
After that, when she rides in the street
car, she drinks in the details of every
spring hat that enters, and learns them
all by heart, and does mental sums over
the cost of the ribbon, and makes up
her mind to have flowers in hers like
those worn by the woman in the corner,
and lace like that gaudy-lookng crea-
ture in the middle. And when she
walks dawn the streets and studies all
the hats that come along, and when a
woman passes her with one on, she
twists her neck around to see how it
looks behind, and is Disguised to see
that the woman is also dislocating her
neck to see how she trims her hat
When she arrives in front of millinery
store she fingers until she has analysed
all the spring hats in the window, and
she determines to trim hers nineteen
different ways, and decides not to
have flowers like the woman who sat in
the corner. Then she shoots into the
store and asks to "see hats" with the
air of a person who has whole female
seminary to rig out with eighty dollar
head gear. She examines every hat in
the establishment, everhauls ten BUSH
els of flowers, gets about twenty dollars
worth of work out of the saleswoman,
and then says she will "look further. y
Then she goes home with her mind
fixed on thirty eight or nine different
styles in which she wants to trim her
hat. After while she begins to think
she ought to have feather in it, and
she passes two or three sleepless nights
trying to decide whether to put one OF
or not. At last she decides she will
Then she lies awake for two more nights
endeavoring to determine whether il
shall be red or blue. She fixes on blue.
She buys the trimming, and sews it or
in seventy successive positions, hel
mind filled with deepest anxiety as to
whether the feather should go on the
right side, the left side, or on top. She
puts it on the right side but just ther
Mrs. Brown passes the front window
with feather on the left side of hers
and so she changes it. The next morn
ing Mrs. Fersuson calls, and her feather
is on the right side, and then anothel
change is made. At church the mex
day Mrs. Smith has feathers on boil
sides, and Mrs. johnson has one on top
Then more sleepless nights and painful
uncertainty. At last she takes the ha
to milliner, pays $40 to have it trim
med. When it comes back she pro
nounces it hateful, +" and picks it al
to pieces, and broods over it, and feel
life to be burden for week or TIVE
longer, until suddenly she hits just tn,
right thing and becomes once NOR
happy, and puts the hat on and goe
out to make other women miserable be
cause their hats are not trimmed ex
actly like hers. AS wife, woman is
blessing; as mother, she is an in
estimable boon as an organizer o
spring hats, she is simply an object o
compassion.

A House Built in n Day.

The newspapers of Lancaster, Penn,
publish an account of the building of
a brick dwelling house in that city in
ten and a half hours, the materials hav-
ing been prepared and collected on the
site previous to the commencement.
The house is twenty feet, by thirty on
the ground floor, two stories in height,
and contains eight rooms. There were
in all upward of one hundred workmen
employed. The cellar foundation was
already laid, and at precisely 6 o'clock
in the morning the men went to work.
The Examiner thus describes the labor
A photographer was present with
his Photographic apparatus and took
views every fifteen minutes of the
building and the workmen while in mo.
ton, which, of course, produced some
ridiculous pictures-men, white and
coiored, in almost every position, are to
be seen represented. At 8 o'clock A. M.
the structure was advanced to the
height of one story, with two floors
ground and secondhand, partitions in,
and lathed and partly plastered, doors
hung, stairways up, and view taken
with the Doctor in the midst of his
workmen. The scene is busy and
a comic one-the bricklayers erecting
scaffolding, for the second story. Ter

CarbOlic Acid In Disease.

1t is well known that rubbing the
body with hogs fat has the effect of re-
ducing the temperature of the skin in
scarlet fever. DIR. Ketz of Heilbronn
directs to incorporate one or two gram
mes of carbolic acid into 100 grammes
of lard, and, with this, to rub the whole
body, excepting the head, two or three
times day, according to the intensity
of inflammation characterizing the case
in hand. The effect of this kind OF
treatment is to produce pleasant feel
ing of GOODNESS, to keep the skin softer,
and after each application the tempera-
ture of the skin falls somewhat. The
carbolic acid operates to destroy the
germs and spores of the disease.

The Atlantic Balloon.

Donaldson, the balloon man, is pre-

reporter of him. 81 should think the
one that is building would be sufficient

to lose nearly all power, and be unable
to carry all the party" says Donaldson,
Professor Wise, the mariner, and the
correspondents will have to take to

loon alone. There may not be enough
power in the balloon to carry over all
the party, but there may be enough to
carry me thousand miles further. 1t

the balloon except under the direst ne

Rows, Engine of Mischief.

The boys of Lynchburg, Va, have
been pnzzling and annoying the police
and all good citizens by loud explosions,
attended with some injuries to property
in different portions of the city. At
last the police have succeeded in getting
possession of one of the internal ma
chimes, which is thus described: A heavy
beer or ale bottle is filed with gunpow-
der. 1t is then wrapped tightly with
strips of cotton cloth ; over this Irvine
is tightly coiled, and then a quantity OF
paper is wrapped around it, and an
other complete covering of stout hemp
Irvine is put around very compactly. In
the neck of the bottle fuse is fixed,
and the machine is attached to n lamp
post, awning-post, or some such sup
port, the fuse lighted, and the fireman
makes hasty retreat. The bottle ex'
plodes with report almost equal to 9
cannon, and the fragments of glass are
strewn in every direction. Windows are
Jared and broken, and families alarmed
while the danger from the fragments Of
flying glass can be comprehended.

The Chinese COnsplratOrs.

The seven Cinnamon arrested in San
Francisco on the charge of conspiracy,
as members of powerful organization
for evil purposes, recently disclosed,
have been admitted to bail in $4,000
each for their appearance for trial. The
Bulletin says: can examination was
set for this morning, but on application
of the Prosecuting Attorney it was post
poned, to permit the police further OPP
portunity to inquire into the character
and operations of the society in ques-
ton. The safe seized at the head
quarters has been conveyed to the police
Office, and is supposed to contain papers
and records which might involve start
ling revelations regarding the internal
affairs of the Chinese colony. From
what has already been brought to light,
it is certain that sort of independent
government, limited in extent, but
amounting to an absolute despotism, is
maintained in our midst, and that pen
alties and punishments are commonly
inflicted, even extending to the taking
VI iAIOs II 10 hOO ILL IlODfOlO oiI"u AAA'hJ
victims have met their death by the de-
crees of this organization of Thugs,
from the easy facilities which the Chi
nese have of concealing their operations
from the knowledge of lawful authority.
The fact that the existence of the socie-
ty has been kept secret so long is evil
dence of its power and the terror which
its operations have excited among the
Chinese. The safe referred to is Sc
cured by several locks, the keys of which
are held by several persons, each being
bound in the solemnity of heather rites
not to open the safe except with the per-
mission and in the presence of the Off
GERS of the society. Whether the police
authorities will prosecute their investi.
cations to the extent of breaking open
the safe has not yet been determined,
but the circumstances would certainly
warrant such course. The case alto
gether is one of the most important the
authorities have yet taken up in con.
nection with the Chinese grievances, as
it pertains to the abominable traffic ii
women. "

In 1873, crude, cents, and refined 10

got so much oil it is like white ele-
plant on their shoulders, as they have
nowhere to put it. In the oil country
money is much more easy to get than

be compelled to let the oil into Oil
Creek, for want Of place to put it in.
