Ice I'm Paris.

A correspondent of tho New York
Times describes the scenes in Paris on
New Years night, which was . memora-
BILE one for the Parisians. He says 1T
had been raining all day, and had carried
of nearly oil the snow tha: had fallen dur
ing the week, and the last of 1t was just
beginning to run into the sewers, when
the mercury foil, and in two or three
hours the streets were covered with ice.-
The transformation was first noticed ~
the people were leaving the theatres and
returning home. The first of those who
left the theatres went down as soon as they
touched the steps. and the others that fol-
lowed, rot taking warning, met With the
same mishap. The horses in the streets
suffered from the same cause; hundreds
of the poor animals had their legs broken,
tut many were saved by the drivers wrap
ping portions of their blankets around
their feet. One blacksmith stationed him
self st the corner of . street and drove
nails in the horses shoee. thereby saving
q great many. A consideiate shop
keeper stood by one of the theatre doors
and sold woolsn stockings, and the price
he asked Was readily given BY the un-
fortunate pedestrians. On looking at the
the ecene next morning he says that the
streets were strewn with the wrecks Of
cabs, wagons and vehicles of oil sorts.-
Some fifteen hundred accidents ore re-
ported, in which six persons were killed.
One hospital alone had 217 cases Of broken
and fractured limbs, and it was not until
late on the day of the % that travel was
resumed.

A Horrible l.yncning Anaar.

The lynching of two brothers, Amos
and Isaiah Courtwright, near Milwau-
kee, was an unusual horrible event of
its kind. They were old men, and had
been arrested for the wanton murder of
a woman. Expecting visit by mob,
they had through friends armed them
selves with knives and pistol, and barr
ricaded their cell door. Only one slept
at time, the other remaining on the
alert. The masked lynchers were so.
sudden in their attack, however, that.
the plan of defense could not be exectt-
ed. Isaiah, who was On the watch,
pounded, and stamped until he was in
sensible. Amos realized the fntllity OF.
resistance then, and tried to soften his
captors with prayers for mercy. TheX
were tied behind wagon when Isaiah
had revived sufficiently to be able to.
walk, and the party started for the place
selected for the hanging. On the way,
Isaiah suddenly drew knife, cut the
rope that bound him, stabbed one of the
mob fatally and desperately endeavoretf'
TO get away; but he was soon over
powered, beaten until he was covered
with blood, and then barbarouslv tor
tured' to death. A rope was noosed
around his neck and fastened to the
wagon, and bis body dragged along the.
stony road. He was dead before the
place for the hanging was reached.
Amos continued his supplications and
protestations of innocence until the rope.
choked off his utterance

The Laramie, Col.) Sentinel aays:F
Six years. ago Mrs. Mary Abart was
living in a little tent on the edge of a.
town. Her whole worldly possessions
consisted of this tent, straw bed. two
or three boxes, which served as chairs.
and table, little seven or eight year..
old girl, and two cows, and calves.
She sold the spare milk Of these two,
cows, carrying it around town with a.
tin pail, and with tire product, and
from work which she did for her neigh
bors, supported herself and child >
When. she could get So or S5, ahead,
she would buy another calf or yearling.
It is not our purpose, adds the Sentinel
to trace her progress up TO the present
time minutely; but the result is, she
now, in less than seven years, has sew
hundred head of cattle, fine farm,
with nice buildings and Improvements,
a comfortable, even lnxuriaut kcme.s
and, Instead of carrying milk around by
hand, rides in her own carriage. Her
daughter is young lady, educated and
accomplished. Today Mrs. dhafxss
is valued at from SAC. 900

Explosion or water.

That water is far more powerful ex.
ploder than gunpowder, under certain
methods of operation, has been proved
by Prof. Piazzi Smyth, judging from q
paper communicated by him to the Phil.
osophical Society, Manchester, Eng. a
subject OF investigation undertaken by
him. 1t appears on comparing the fal
larger space occupied by exploded wa
ter in the shape of steam than by explod.
ed gunpowder in the shape of its perm
anent gases.
The difficulty, however,, according to
Prot. Smyth, is to get the water to ex-
plode, and not to pass off merely. into
steam. In his efforts to accomplish this.
he at first melted a large ladle-full of
lead, put upon the fluid and almost red
hot surface 2 drop of water, and tried
various devices to bring it, under the
inhence of heat but even when forcibly
attempted to be pushed under the melt
eA lead, the water ran with vehemence
up the substance OF the wooden probe
employed, and refused to have anything.
TO do with tile fluid lead, which conse.
quently remained undistirbed. But on
bis taking smaller iron ladle. putting
9. drop Of water on the bottom of il, and
giving Herewith slight pat to the snr-
face of the melted lead, Instantly the
whole contents Of the great ladle were
shattered violently, and only few
grains were recovered showing, quite
the explosive capacity of
water.
