A MAN LEAPS INTO A YURNAon.

The Scranton Pa. Republican says
that shortly before / o'clock Friday
morning, the men working on the
night shift at the blast furnace Of the
Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company
were Mortified by one of the most
shocking cases of self destruction that
has ever occurred in that city. The
victim was young man named Theo-
dore Marone, who took advantage of
the temporary absence of the work
men, and plunged into the seething
furnace, which, at the time, was at a
white heat. His cries attracted atten-
ton, and the workmen ran to the fur
mace and looked down, only to see the
unfortunate Marone, and waving his
hands and feet in the most intense
agony. A long-handled shovel was
lowered to him, but he was uncon-
scious Of its presence. One Of the
men ran Immediately and stopped the
blast, but human aid was of no avail
to save the unfortunate man in the
furnace, and he was dragged up as
quickly as possible, by means Of a
large hook, a charred, disfgured, and
unrecognized mass. He could not
have been in the furnace above few
minutes, but the intense heat was
sufficient to destroy life if he had not
been there more than second. lie
was conveyed to Mr.. Raub's under
taking establishment, where a large
box had to be constructed to enclose
his remains. His knees and elbows
were contracted and so rigid that it
was impossible to straighten them.
Theodore Marone was q native of
Pomarn, East Prussia, where his
father was q Professor in one of the
gymnasiums or schools, in which
Theodore was also employed rs
teacher. He'was subsequently en-
gagged in the war, 1866, between
Prussia and Austria, emigrated to
this country about four years ago,
He was then twenty-five years Of age,
and might have done well but for
disolute habits which beset him and
reduced him to a state of affect
misery. He found work in the en-
ploy of the Oxford Iron Company as
a common laborer, and often at his
daily toll when, comparing his posi-
ton with what he was at home, he
wept in the presence of his fellow
workmen. These fits of dependency
had terrible effect upon him, and
his friends feared no would lose his
reason while suffering from one of
them. He came to Scranton on
Tuesday last, and found shelter in the
Centre street lookup. While there he
attempted to take his life by heating
. poker red-hot in the stove and
placing it to his neck to destroy the
carotid artery, when he was detected
by one of the officers. He lay around
the furnace during the evening prior
to his destruction, in consequence
Of some men being at work there
with whom he was acquainted at the
Oxford iron mines.

A gentleman in Sacramento, wish
ing to go to San Francisco rushet
down to the wharf with carpet sacl
in one hand and d cane in the other.
When he got in sight of tho wharf he
saw boat apparently swinging OH
into the stream. He started on
run and when he reached the landing
the boat was eight or ten feet from
the shore, he leaped into the air and
gained the vessels deck. Not with.
out accident, however. The carpet
bag struck one passenger 80 violently
in the stomach that he doubled up
like a jackknife, and absorbed
whole flask of brandy in getting
Strengthened out, while the cane
struck another man in tho face with
sufficient force to suddenly induce
him to get down on his knees to look
after his hat. When he had recoy4
cred it, tho man who had occasioned
all this commotion, said to him in a
tone Of mingled apology and self
graduation, "Well, made it, ""Yes,
you did, said the sore-headed pas
songer, "but you darned old fool,
this boat ain't going out, she's coming
in"

BUSINESS Is BUsNEss. 1t is human
nature to favor those who favor you,
and do it honestly, is an undeniable
proposition. A liberal advertiser in
legitimate and reputable business,
is always a good fellow, as mean men
never advertise. When you hear a
man express contempt for tho news
paper, set him down as fool. II you
want to test him and prove him q
liar, give him q little puff, and see
how pleased he will be, and how
pleasantly he will speak to you.
There is nothing that stings deeper
or that is remembered longer than q
little uncomplimentary notice in a
newspaper. The recipient Of such
notice never will forget it. You may
60 on all your life saying pleasant
things about persons and never get
word Of credit; but when the first
paragraph Of reprimand appears, all
the good you have ever printed is lost
sight Of at once, and you have bitter
and relentless enemy over after.
Every person wishing 10 purchase
goods will search the advertising col
ums to sec where they can DO OBJ
tanned in the greatest variety and at
the lowest rate. While we arc satis-
fed that every man Of good business
sense will advertise whatever he has
to sell, we believe it is the duty Of the
publisher, other things being equal,
to do what he can, whenever occa-
sion offers, to favor those who favor
him. For ourself, we proposeto stay
by our friends.

THE cosr OF ROYAL nONoRs.


The income Of the newly married
pair in England is reported at $500,
900 year, with town and country
house in England, and two also in
Russia, good slice of which comes
from thetroyal exchequers.
Another favorite Of fortune is Gen
eral Wolseley, late commander of the
English skirmishing party in Ashan-
tee, who is to be promoted to a
Maior-G Geieralship, in addition to re-
ceiving an annual pension Of $37 500,

PooR, BRoKEN-HEAHTED MAN. The
Tribune draws melancholy picture
Of the distinction in law between
man and woman in the matter Of
broken hearts: "Does n mere man, "
it asks, "whose timid heart has been
persuaded to throw itself at the feet
Of a coquette only to be cast aside,
ever get a thohgand dollars, or q
hundred dollars, or one dollar even,
with which to mend the rents and
tatters in the same2 Never The
balm Of gold is denied him: even the
poor consolation Of making a grace
ful and an impressive appearance in
court and the illustrated papers is
not for him. There is a stony and
barbaric air Of oppression about this
state Of things that takes US back to
the dark ages, and causes the dis
interested philosopher to shudder at
the wretched, crushed, and helpless
condition Of man" 90 OH

How A DUTcHMAN WAS "M1sTooKED. "
"A day or two since several Com
stockers who were seated in one of
our breweries slipping their lager,
began boastful way to tell Of the
great mon for whom they had been
mistaken. One stated that while
travelling on one occasion through
the State of New York, gentleman
came into the cars and walking up
to him slapped him familiary on the
back, exclaiming, "Why Mr.. Astor,
how do you dor" Another stated that
upon getting off a steamer at Aspin-
wall, when or his way to California
few years ago, q gentleman had
rushed up to him, seized him by the
hand, and cried, Commodore Van
derbilt, it gives me great pleasure to
SEQ you here, sir" While these
stories We're being told, it was
observed that o Dutchman seated
near the party was growing quite
uneasy. He listened very attentive
ly to the conversation, hitching his
chair gradually nearer the group OF
men Of remarkable appearance, and
showing evident signs Of anxiety, to
contribute his experience to that
which had already been related. At
last he, saw an opening, and thus
told his story; "Well, yendlemen,
dot reminded me Of dot time ven /

DDN'T LIKE IT.-Who cnn help
admiring the Roman stoicisn Of the
Arkansas Judge who said, after one
lawyer had shot another dead in the
court room, "Look yeer, if you keep
on o fooling around in this yeer way,
I'll commit some Of you for CON
tempt" Equal to this in patient
suffering was the gentleman who
lives in Cont street; who, when he
entered the basement dining-room
the other evening, found no one
there, and no preparations for The
meal. He went up to the parlor and
there he found his wife sitting on the
sofa with young mans arm about
her waist.
"See here" said this mild hus-
band. ~ don't like this kind Of
thing. Why isn't my supper ready"
Because / didn't like to make It, "
said the loving wife.
"What are you sitting theYe, a.

because l do like it.
"I tell you what it is, Annie" and
his face assumed q fierce look Of
passion, ''if this state of things CON
tinues much longer I'll got mad, you
bet your life."

A GHosr.-Au apparition of ghostly appear
ance was seen in the neighborhood Of Eighth cad
Wilson strcets, last night, about ten CLOCK. or
course, several causes Wers assigned for the ap-
pearanoe of the ghostly visitor by some Of the
more superstltious residents. and the opinion was
freely expressed that il was the return of the
sWalnut street ghost" which created such
sensation in that neghhorhood a few months ago
The opinion of others, however, and the most
reasonable one IN our opinion, was that It was
the freaks OF II somnambulist. 1t was attred
in whto from head to feet, wearing n loose gown
which reached within few inches OF the pave
msnt, and on the head it wore cap similar to the
'night-caps" usually worn by ladies'. The figure
moved gracefully and noiselessy along the side
walk, apparently unconscious of the presence Of
persons passing along the street. and finally dis
appeared, "yery mysteriously." by turning eyOGpd
q corner. and was no longer visible upon the ar
rival Of those Watching IT'S movements. 1t is very
probable that it was one OF the fair sex OF that
neighborhood who 10 afflicted with the terrors of
somnambulism, although she selected very dis
agreeable night Tor her perambulations, it being
rather stormy when she was going her rounds,
and the fact OF her being SO thinly clad would
lend additional horrors to the malady, both men,
tally and physically.
