THE SCENES
attendant upon the breakup of the
meeting battle description. Some tried
to cheer the more broken spirited by
suggesting various possibilities of the
prophetic dates extending for some time
longer. Foyen, whose joy and happi-
ness in anticipation had been boundless,
stood up and said, in a voice broken
with sobs:
cit is no use! 1t is no use We
are either disappointed or we are not
disappointed, and if we are not disap-
pointed then we did expect Jesus with
faith. Nothing but Jesus can cheer our
I never expect to see my home again, or
do another stroke of work. I feel bit
ter, bitter, disappointed. The tears
poured down his cheeks, and his grief
seemed to be intolerably great. This
is the feeling of my heart. Nothing
can satisfy me but the coming of Jesus.
L don't know what I shall do if Jesus
don't come. Lord, help me! hate
to go to my home again"
They wept and fell on one another's
necks. Many of them did not know
where to go or what to do, as they had
relinquished their lodgings, and given
away their furniture and everything. In
the extremity of their distress, their
affections still clnug to Thurman. The
men all came to him and gave him the
kiss of peace, according to their fashion.
One of them pressed him to come and
stay with him. Thurman said, sadly +:
"I don't feel like seeing anybody now.
/ wish could sink into my grave"
The women gathered around him, and |
he shook hands with them, for Thurman |
kissing the women, reserving that en-
tirely for the men. A number of people |
had to remain where they we're. Others
went to the houses of those who were
fortunate enough to retain homes. One
man named Miller, who had disposed of
over Sc, 600 of property, asked permits
sion of brother to sleep on his floor
that night. An old, white-haired wo-
man eaid that she had place to go to
tonight, but what she should do next
God only knew. The children were
crying, babies squalling, and women
wringing their hands in anguish, as at
about half-past one the assembly dis
oersed, pursuing their melancholy way
20 such quarters as they could go to.
Thurman accompanied Foyen to his
house on the corner of Clark and Wis
,onsin streets, but what his movements
n the future will be he does not know.

A Terrible Balloon Adventure.

Galignani's Messenger says: NJ. Eu-
gene GODDARD made an ascent last week
at Bayonne in his balloon Saturne. He
had with him in the car Vinson, keeper
of woods and forests NJ Julien, pyro-
technist of Algiers, and the editor of a
Bordeau journal. The start took place
at half-past 5 in the afternoon. At a
quarter to 6 the party found themselves
at the frontier, the cold being exceed
ingly keen. At night, the travellers,
who had got among the mountains,
we're obliged to throw out all their bal
last to surmount the Pyrenean peaks
The wind then began to fresheD, the
speed of the ballon became extreme,
and toward o'clock the snow COM
menced falling. Tossed about by diff
ferent currents, and incapable of de-
termining the situation, their anxiety
was extreme. After four hours of suf-
fering, toward in the morning, M.
GODDARD thought he saw some lights, and
prepared to descend but the valve, be-
ing choked up with snow, could not be
opened He then told his companions
that they had but one chance for their
lives, namely, to cut hole in the silk,
and get down at all hazards. The op-
Grafton was effected, and the Saturne
descended with such great Iapidity that
all four were stunned by the fall M.
Vinson, who was the first to recover,
saw his friends lying senseless by his
side, and, calling for assistance, was
fortunate enough to make himself heard
by two persons, who aided him in reach
ing Pampeluna, which was not quite
two miles off. He Immediately gave
notice to the authorities, and an alarm
having been sounded, the inhabitants
of the place went out in quest of the
other three, and found them in a state
of consciousness, but incapable of NOV
ing. They were all conveyed to the
town, where every attention was paid
them. NJ. GODDARD appeared to have
suffered most, as his legs were much

WHATEVER there ls of terrible, what
ever there is of beautiful in human
events, all that shakes the soul to and
fro and is remembered while thought
and flesh cling together, all these have
their origin from the passions. As it is
only in storms, and when their coming
water is driven up into the air, that we
catch q sight of the depths of the sea,
it is only in the season of perturbation
that we have glimpse of the real in
ternal nature of man. It is then only
that the might of these cruptions, shak-

An Unfortunate Debutante.

A sad accident occurred to young
debutante at an amateur musical enter
tainment in Washington a few nights
ago. The beautiful creature walked to
the foot-ights with the grace of queen
and the ease of a professional. She
warbled the first stanza like Nilsson.
The accompanist struck up the inter
lude, and of course this was the time
when the fair singer should raise her
'lace-kerchief to her face. With a
regal curve of the left arm she did so,
her eyes fixed on the admiring audience,
when horrible dicttE, n most delicately
constructed silk stocking displayed it.
self III wavy folds. It seems that her
maid in her excitement had placed
stocking in the place where the other
article ought to be, and hence her ludi-
crous mistake. She stood transfxed,
resembling an auctioneer of hosiery at
bankrupt sale. The audience roared.
The buttons flew, and stalwart men
grasped their sides in fearful agony.
Fashionable ladies forgot their propri-
ETY., and Just screeched. OF course the
best thing under the circumstances for
Mile. Blank to do was to faint. She
did it as we'll as Clara Morris could.
Up rushed Senator -; he seized
pitcher of water and soused the pros
trate form of the unfortunate singer.
This he'd the desired effect, and so it
would any female when her $500 dress
was ruined. With whizzing sound
she left the platform; the entertainment
was ended; the fair singer has taken
herself to a nunnery.
WHAT THE SUTRo TUNNEL Is.-The
Sutro tunnel, of which SO much has
been said in connection with the Com
stock mines of Nevada, is gigantic
undertaking only partially complete.
The Comstock lode is a assure several
miles long and of unknown depth. To
reach the ore, shafts are sunk all along
the vein, some to the depth of two
thousand feet. The lowest mines are the
richest, but the air in them is SO vicious
that laborers can work but few mo-
ments at a time, and only after long
intervals of rest, thus rendering the
landing of the ore highly expensive.
Sutro's plan comprehends n tunnel from
the foot of the mountain, meeting the
lode at right angles, and then following
it for eight miles, This would make n
highway into the bowels of the earth,
draining and ventilating the mines.
The tunnel is only about third done.
1t is fourteen feet wide by ten in height,
and Will cost eight millions OF dollars.
The builders compensation is to be the
tolls charged on ore raised through the
tunnel.

LONGEVITY. There are frequent and
remarkable INSTANCES of longevity
among the Russians. A man born in
1850 has just died. He was six feet
five inches in height, and was possessed
of immense strength up to the time OF
his death, which resulted from fall.
Another man born in the same year is
still living. Among the notabilities at
court are a number of octogenarians,
and one lady, nonagenarian, who
reads without spectacles, and walks
without stick. Her eyesight must
always have been remarkable, rs the
Russian alphabet looks as if it were
drunk, and must be hard thing to
keep the run of.

Funny Men Of the Press

The clowns of journalism are now
legion, and recognized constituent of
the fourth estate. Every now and then
a new one jumps into the ring with a
here I am cap, bells, and motley !"
and proceeds at once to the prosecution
of his department Of q" funny man of the
staff" He performs by dint of every
abuse Of language, by every distortion
of phraseology, by every perversien of
the true line of thought, by every con-
ceit of fancy that suggests itself to an
imagination warped by malpractice in
his line of business. He'll catch a
quaint idea roaming loosely through
his hair brain, and set 1t agoing for the
amusement Of his readers, as il it were
a cur with tin kettle at his tail. He'll
set off q fre-work of an idea, swapping
and sparkling on its way, to be seen
and wondered at for q moment, but to
end in smoke and fzzle-played out
and forgotten after its transient mission.
Sometimes his cur won't perform-won't
run with the kettle; and sometimes mis-
firework doesn't sparkle in fact. his
fun falls fiat, and he's miserable he is
a disappointed artist, and feels that he
is failure, and everybody considers
him failure, especially his employer
or his subscribers, if he is publisher.
Our clown is become an essential to the
press as the jester is in the plays of
Shakespeare, to relieve their darker
shades, as the lights contrasting the
shadows of a picture, that both may
stand ont in clearer relief. His jokes
come into the column as the neigh
Dor paragraph to the chronicle OF a
murder most foul. He airily disports
his rattle-brain fantasies on the same
sheet that sets forth the conclusions of
the grave and reverend seignors of
church and state in the journalistic
record of events. His Jest is in the
interlude, like the sardine in the sand
witch, that comes between the more
bulky and substantial that relieved
the labored, artistic feats of the hip
podrome.

Easily Understood.

Every BOBBY knows that it is rude to
take another persons seat as soon as it
is vacated, and that it is an unpardon-
able offense to sit in one chair and put
his feet in another. The subtle phi1os-
ophies of the rudeness of those actions
he probably would take a lifetime to
learn. Even after he had received such
indignities many times he would be
puzzled to know why they gave him
such offense. Chesterfield himself
probably never analysed the actions, or
resolved them into their elementary
significance the first meaning, 81 pre-
fer your room to your company the
second being equivalent to saying, az

son entering house or room, always
speak first to the lady of the house,
and always take leave of her first.
Why should we do so? Because the
house and room are for the time hers.
She gave the invitation or permission
to enter. You are for the time her
guest, and under obligations to her.
She is entitled to your first and last act
of respect and attention. Having paid
her that attention, be sure not to
monopolize her time and conversation,
because she has other guests to enter
tain as well as yourself. Several lady
correspondents have asked if it was
proper to invite a gentleman escorting
them from an evening party to come in.
Ask yourselves, "Why should I ask
him to enter?" Has he not been with
you all the evening, and walked home
besides? Can he not call some other
time, and unless he has been agreeable,
why should you ask him even to call
again? 1t is as much his duty to ask
permission to call as yours to invite
him to do so. What right have you to
disturb your parents or the members of
your family at a late hour with casual
acquaintance who has accompa MED you

The Ladies' New-Fansled Demi- Trains.

The "latest novelty" in woman's attire
does not sound comfortable. She has,
it seems, adopted garment in which it
is almost impossible to walk or sit
down, or to enter carriage, and which
can only be worn by throwing the body
in the most painful contortions accord
ing to instructions specially given by
the dressmakers who manufacture it.
The Paris correspondent of the Queen
gives the following account of this new
article of dress. "Demi traits says
the correspondent, care inconvenient
for the street and even for getting into
carriage, and they are SO tied back
and banded with elastic that walking
and, above all, sitting down are not the
easy, careless movements of yore.
Some dressmakers give instructions as
to the management of these demi-trains.
The best manner of gathering up the
train is to turn to the right, bending
slightly backwards, and to take hold of
the dress as low down as possible with
the right hand. When you straighten
and stand upright again the skirt will be
slightly lifted, and thus become no
longer than short costume. When
you wish to let the skirt trail again you
must throw it back with n sweep of
the right hand This will be found a
much more graceful way preserving the
train from contact with the streets than
by lifting it each side with both hands. ,"
Man dressed in coat or pair of trousers
involving SO much trouble and agony
would hardly feel up TO performing
those duties which woman kindly pro-
poses to take on her own hands; she is,
however, very strong minded, and de-

A GREAT reduction of wages has taken
place in Germany the past winter.
Two thalers, or S1.50, has been the
wages of city laborers since the war;
before the war it was one thaler, but
this winter it has been cut down to two
thirds of n thaler. Dull and stringent
times are said to be prevailing through
out the empire, and if this be true it
will be Impossible for the authorities
to restrain emigration as soon as busi-
ness revives in America.
