The circus season at Quincy wound
up with stampede. Coles circus ex-
hibited there Wednesday night for
the benefit of Woodland Home. The
Whig says that just after the perform
ance opened, and while the second act
in the ring was in progress, the can
containing the oil which furnishes
the lamps around the center pole,
which was leaking, caught fire. The
lamps were instantly lowered, and an
attempt was made to smother the
flames with carpet, but without sue
cess. The carpet caught fire and
burned: The ropes which held up the
top of the canvas caught fire, and it
appeared to the astonished spectators
that the center-pole was in blaze.
The flames. famed by the high wind,
reached from the ground nearly to the
canvas, and it seemed that the entire
pavilion would be consumed. When
the fire was first seen CONSERVATION
seized large portion OF the audience
and grand rush was made for the
outside. Men, women and children
didn't wait to get out at the entrance
but slid down from their seats and
crawled under the curtain. Some of
the crowd were SO badly frightened
that they didn't stop until they got
home. The majority, however, re-
mained safe distance from the tent
to see the thing out The attaches of
the circus succeeded in extingushing
the fire after the ropes were consumed
and before the curtain caught Keo-

Wood Saving by a White Hot Wire.

The Able Moigno, in recent num-
Der of his periodical, entitled Les
Mondes. describes an invention which
he says has recently been patented by
Mr.. George Robinson, of New York,
for saving wood by an entirely new,
and what seems sufficiently odd pro
cess. Since it originated here it
ought to be no novelty to our readers;
but since it is such to us, we give it
the penefit of this notice. The pro-
cess consists in substituting instead of
the saw platinum wire, heated white
hot by means of an electric current.
The wire receives the same reciprocal
ing motion which is commonly given
to the saw, and thus burns its way
through the wood. 1t is practicable,
according to the inventor, not only
to eat logs into planks or heavier
forms OF lumber by this means, but
also to give curvature to the cut, and
to produce fantastic forms of every
description. since the saw, being with
out breadth, adapts itself to such pur-
poses better even than the band or
ribbon saw. Tnsomuch as the wire
burns its way instead of cutting, ii
leaves the surface ofthe wood charred;
but this is an effect entirely super
fetal, and occasions no injury to the
material. 1t would seem as if, how
ever, there were an important question
of economy to be settled, and we
shall wait before pronouncing an opin.
ion on this application of science until
we hear from it further.

In the case of Spratt VS.. the United
States, the Supreme Court to day af-
firmed the judgement Of the Court of
Claims, holding that the claimant, a
Confederate citizen, gained no title to
certain cotton by purchase from an
agent of the Confederate States, be-
cause these States were without cor.
porate power to take, hold, or convey
a valid title to any property whatever,
and that the claimant was ahargeable
with notice of reasonable intent of
sale by the Confederate Government,
to-wit: to raise money for the pur-
chase of munitions Of war. Justice
Miller delivered the opinion. Justice
Field dissented, taking the view that
pardon of the claimant reinetated
him in all his civil rights, aud gave
him assurance that he should stand in
the courts of his country in as good
condition as any of his fellow-citizens
who had never sinned against the au-
thority of the government.

A New Weapon.

The New Orleans Picayune gives
the annexed description of the neatest
instrument for a street fight that has
yet been produced: 1t is a weapon
with a sinister and cynical appearance
that would make even the bravest
man tremble. It consists first Of an
ordinary pair of brass knuckles, rath-
er sharp. in order to produce telling
effect. To one end is attached gim-
let knife, to the other, revolver,
whose trigger forms one of the divis-
ions of the brass knuckles. Thus
armed man might defy an army. Ii
he were to get hold of one individual
man, the effect is appalling; every
blow he strikes with the knuckles
would not only break the assaulted
persons skull, but lodge half dozeu
bullets in his heart, while the gimlet
attachment is cutting away at his
throat. A man who had been treated
to that weapon would be killed al
least dozen times before he knew
what was the matter; not only killed
but so battered, bruised and cut tc
pieces, that sardine- box would prove
a roomy coffin for his remains.

statistical turn of mind. It occur
red to Jones the other day that
Mary is very common name, and,
after very careful study, he hit up
on an original plan for ascertaining
the proportionate number of wo-
men bearing it. This plan was to
station himself at an advantageous
position on one of our thorough
fares, address by that name every
woman who passed in an hour, and
then compare the number who
answered to the name with the
whole number passing. Nothing
could be simpler, thought Wilkins,
and accordingly he began his ex-
pertinent the other evening just as
the theater going tide was flowing
along the street. First came two
demure looking damsels, "timid
and stepping fast" Jones let them
get by and then called out sudden
ly, MARY" but the young women
only hurried the faster, and the
ingenious Wilkins put down two
marks on the right side of his tally
paper. just as he lifted his eyes
he saw a lady with an escort just
in front of him, and blurted out
"Good evening, Mary" Greatly to
Jones astonishment the gentleman,
and not the lady, responded; and
these was what Jones saw: =
He concluded to give up the expe-
riment, because there were too
many risks about it-especially

The Pope has just been expelled

baptism of Freemasonry and sol.

SHE WOLVES IN KOKOMO.


Kokomo Tribune.]
In one respect, women are very
much like wolves. When pack Of
wolves are in pursuit Of human be-
ing, deer. or any other game, they
show great knowledge in the chase.
They spread out so as to havo advan-
taee of any short turn the game may
make. But let one of the pack get
wounded, blood be drawn from the
weakest or the strongest Of the pack
by a secret huntsman, then every wolf
stops the chase, the whole pack as
sembles and tears the wounded mem
ber Of the family to pieces.
And SO with women. Let one of
them get scratch, no matter how in
f1icted, whether by the villainous
tongue of scandal or otherwise, all
the women leave off their work wheth-
er it he washing dishes. putting frills
on dress, darning stocking, max
ing hustle, going to church, to an
Orphans Home meeting, or on the
way to pray out a saloon keeper
whatever the labor il, it is dropped
and all rush together to tear to pieces
the woman on whom blood has been
drawn. The disposition to do this
seems to be innate and We would be-
lieve God planted the nature for
good purpose if we were not positively
sure that the most guilty of the pack
always give the first whoop and pull
out the first arm, or leg. or eye. 1t is
this Internal custom, this outrageous,
horrible practice, that leads us to the
side of the weak. Mr.. Beamer has
powerful church at his back; Mrs.
Beamer is woman; all the women,
with here and there an honorable ex-
ception, are against her. The church
is against her. So help us God, in

Justice. We will do no injustice to
Mr.. Beamcr. What we want fo know
is the truth. Until that is known, we
do not propose to join the pack of
wolves, women or men, and help de-
YOUR one poor woman. When it shall
be shown to us that Mrs. Beamer is
alone to blame, then we will place the
blame ubon her; put, until this is
known, we shall not unite with the
majority to put down a lady who has
always peen acknowledged to be .
lady of large common sense, of rare
business qualifications, of strict dis
cretion, of spotless character. The
Tribune often gets on the side Of the
minority. Since the majority cried,

the old license law, the manufacture

and pauperism from to 9 times faster.

of intoxicants increased twelve times
faster than the increase of population,
and pauperism from to 9 times faster.
INCREASE OF TAXES AND CRIME.
With such facts as these staring us
in the face, it is very clear that if our
next Legislature expects to present
and enact license law, as the domi-
nant party stands pledged to do in its
platform, intemperance, pauperism,
crime and insanity will be fearfully
increased, and our taxes largely augu-
mented.
Jeremy Rentham says, THAT is the
best end of government which secures
the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber;" but the license system is exactly
the opposite of this. In order to fill
the pockets of a few saloon keepers,
the many must have their taxes
dOubled-society must be subject to
the debasing annoyance of intemper-
ance, and all the depriving vices which
follow in its train. License never did
and never will control the liquor traf-
| fic. All experience proves that license
is only another name for free whisky"
and every horror which proceeds from
it.
| WHAT MUST BE DONE
What can be done, then, to prevent
our coming Legislature from pursuing
such suicidal course, should be the
all-absorbing question for this alli-
| ance now to determine.
This must be done-Organize thor
oughly and agitate necessarily. A
temperance organization should be put
in immediate and vigorous operation
in every county in the State. These
county organizations should hold
meetings in every school house in the
county Speakers should lay the lacts
plainly and forcibly before the people,
arousing them to the Importance and
necessity of action. Short, pithy
tracts, embodying proper statistics,
and clear strong reasons should be
distributed among the masses. At
every meeting petitions should be pre-
sented for signatures and forwarded
to both branches of the Legislature,
praying that the present law should
be maintained, and such additional
legislation added as will render it more
efficient to protect the people
against the giant curse of intemper-
ance.
HOPE FOR GOOD RESULTS.
Pursue this course vigorously and
the best results may be anticipated;
neglect it, and the results may be dis
astrous in the extreme. Let the cry
be, as it was in the days of Hampden
and Prym, when the people were bat
Ting against the tyranny of King
Charles and Stafford, petition! peti.
tion | have great faith in petition
1t is the only efficient way by which
the masses can reach the ears of the
Legislature. Then let the people
speak to the Legislature in thunder
tones by petition, and we venture te
say that the Legislature will not turr
deaf ear to their cry.
