About three hundred children, boys and
girls, belonging to the different sunday school.
in the city. appeared on our streets last
"Wednesday in holiday attire to devote them
selves 10 the abandon Of a suburban picnic.
The heat Of the sun was greatly tempered by
a refreshing breeze from the south, and the
little ones. a. they marched to Shuman's grove.
keeping time to the music Of the cornet band.
presented a gay and animated appearance. As
soon as the restraints of the march were re-
moved after arriving at the grove they in
dulged in every imaginable childish amuse-
ment some boating. others in the game Of
croquet, and still others in the more exilera-
ting exercise Of swinging. The walk, the ex-
ereise. and the refreshing atmosphere Of the
country soon began to create an appetite OH
the part of the little ones, and the big ones,
too. we guess, and the shaded spots were soon
swarmins with little parties uniting, from six
to dozen or more. the might be, ~
ing ample justice to the innumerable and va
ried iainties prepared for them by parental
hands for the occasion. In the afternoon quite
a number of visitors from the city dropped in
and participated in the amusements. which
continued until the sun began to guild the
western horizon, when the little ones were
loaded in wagons and sent to their homes, to
tell of the happy hours they had passed at the
grove. Upon the whole ii was very pleas
ant affair. and We think that the officers of the
different schools should establish rule to give
the schools a picnic each year, and as the
schools grow larger and older the picnics will
become more interesting and the children will
look forward to them wi.jSdelight.

mined to make another effort to get up cele
bration on the ith Of July. Having met with
severe reverses last year on account of the
RAIN their ar,lor was somewhat cooled in this
respect. but they are now making very ex-
tcnsye arrangements for grand carnival of
pleasure on that day. In the evening grand
ball and illumination will be given at Eagle
hall, which, from present indications, prom
ises to surpa.s anything of the kind ever given
in tho city. We are requested by Messrs.
Schattner & Bromwcll TO say that the invita-
tons already circulated for a bal! on that
evening are incorrect in one particular. viz ::
the price Of tickets has been fixed ut l.50 in
stead of $3.50 The Oyster Bay has secured

Mr.. II. {. Day. who assessed the city Of
Wichita. informs us that his rolls figure up
something over S5S0.000. The standard Of
valuation was lowered about twenty five per
cent. below 1872, or represents. we should
Judge 4 fraction less than one-haf the value OF
the property. From the county treasurer's
books we see that the assessment Of last year
was $685.. 4S5. which was taken ut a valuation
of at least twenty-five per cent. in excess Of the
valuation of the present year. so it viii be seen
that the city has almost doubled in real and
personal property in one year.

was subdivided into mist before reach

ed. Water quenches fire by physical
contact with the burning body, cover
ing it, and thereby excluding the con-
tact of atmospheric oxygen also it
instantly reduces the temperature of
ignited substances by vaporism. By
the sudden change from q liquid to
vapor it robs the substance of the heat
necessary to keepup combustion, which
is thus extingrished.
The burning of our warehouses, at
the time of the great fire, filed with
chemical products, was in one sense an
interesting exhibition. We cannot say
that it was calculated to awaken much
enthusiasm so far as we were personally
concerned, as the spectacle was little
too costly for that. 1t was paying too
high for the pyrotechny, no matter how
grand the display. The nature of the
substances burned was peculiar, afford
ing intense heat and flames of divers
gorgeous colors. Numerous packages
of the salts of strontium, calcium, mag
nesium, potassium, copper, barium,
ETC., were consumed, which produced a
variety of brilliant illuminations, and
these, with alcoholic preparations,
carbolic acid, nitrate of ammonia, and
hundreds of other highly combustible
bodies, gave to the flames a fierceness
and coloring not observable elsewhere

A YOcalist's Misfortune.

Ossian T. Dodge, the vocalist and
Secretary OF the Chamber of Commerce
of the city of st. Paul, Mimi, has OBJ
tanned divorce from Mrs. Dodge. In
lawsuit about the custody of the chill
dren he makes this solemn statement
on oath: Ever since she was married
she has carried a six-barreled loaded
revolver IN her possession, with which
she has a great many times threatened
to blow my brains out and to oshoet me. :"
He further deposed that Mrs. Fanny
was in the habit of beating the son.
whose custody shenow desires, over the
head with a bathing brush 20 inches
long, and SO severely as to break the
handle of the brush" When this wea-
pom was not at hand, the affectionate
mother used the tongs. Ossian has
been the victim of grief before. When
he first set out as vocalist he urged q
friend who edited a Boston paper to
give him Gift in the way Of notorie-
ty The editor complied with the re-
quest by sending a despatch over the
country in effect that Dodge, often hav-
ing been tenderly cared for in the fam
lily of our acquaintance, had repaid the
kindness by eloping with the wife of
that acquaintance and after working her
ruin had cruelty deserted her. The
story was told in terms SO pathetic that
it created quite sensation and gave
the vocalist more notoriety than he
bargalned for. II took him many days
to undo the work of his editorial friend
and caused him to lose his temper more
than once.

A Spanish gentleman. having in duel
killed young Moorish noble of Goan-
ada, Immediately fed from Justice. He
was eagerly pursued, but profting by q
turn i'll the road, he jumped, without
being seen, to the rear wall of garden
in which he entered.
The owner, who was also Moor. hap
pened to be at tkat time walking in the
garden, and the Spaniard falling on his
knees before him, related all that had
happened, and asked permission to con-
ceal himself.
The Moor listened with much pity and
generously promised his protection. He
then concealed him in an arbor, and he
left assuring him that at the hour of
midnight he would provide the means
for his escape.
Some hours afterward they brought
the Moor the dead body of his son, and
by the description they gave of the muir
derer, he knew it was no other than the
Spaniard then concealed in the garden.
He disguised the horror that he felt, and
retired to his room, where he remained
until midnight. At that hour he pro-
ceeded secretly to the garden, he opened
the door of the arbor, and spoke to the
Spanish gentleman in the following
terms:
Christian, the young man you killed
in duel was my only son, my only love,
my only hope. should take revenge
ON thee, but have solemnly promised
my word Of honor to save thee"
