The Philadelphia House Marking.
4 SOLUTION or THE MYSTERY

\ SOLUTION OF THE MYSTERY.
The Philadelphia Bulletin says the excite
ment IN regard to the marking of the houses
in that city has greatly subsidized. Daring the
past few days the matter has been carried on
as a sort OF Joke, and although there has been
considerable marking, the principal portion
q it has been done by boys and others merely
for amnse ment. The character of the marks
has been changed also, according to the dis
position Of the parties occupying the houses
marked. II was stated few daY ago in the
Bailet6t that the marking originated among
newspaper carriers, and this now seems to be
the true solution of the whole atflir which
has created 50 much connection in the

A DanburY Accident.

One of the most painful of the acci-
dents happening on Independence Day,
occurred to family living on Osborne
street. Two of the young sons had i'm
provised cannon from an old gun bar
rel. The father gave them a pound of
powder, and took lively interest in the
firing. 1t was not an ornamental piece,
but it made a most astonishing noise,
which is of more importance.
"Ram her down tight this time" sug-
gested the exultant father, a little i'm
patient to increase the sound.
But what will the neighbors think I"
mildly protested his wife. you'll jar
their heads off.
Fudge on their heads. This is the
glorious Fourth, and it don't come but
once year. Ram her down, boys, an
make her sing"
They did. They worked like veterans,
and put in a lot of grass, and hammered
away at the wadding like pair of pile
drivers. Then they fixed it for touching
off. The father was sitting on the fence,
waving to and fro, and smiling with all
There was siss, flash, and then dis
charge which seemed to shake the very
center of the earth. At the same instant
the patriotic father left the fence back
ward, and went crashing end over end
into the next lot, his eyes and mouth
driven full of dirt and saEd. The piece
had expl )ded, and portion of the bar
lei, weighing nearly two pounds, flew
across the yard with such force as to
completely rend the seats from two pairs
of new overalls hanging on line, and
then ploughed into the earth just in front
of the owner of the garments, knocking
him over rs stated. When he got on his
feet, and his eyes and senses sufficiently
cleared to learn what had happened, he
unhesitatingly said
"Come, now, there's been enough of
this cussed foolishness for one day.

Umbrellas i'm the East.

All over the East the umbrella has
been used from remote ages, though at
first mainly as an emblem of royalty.
But for centuries past these useful APP
pendages have afforded shelter to all
classes from the fierce storms and burn
ing sunshine of those fervid climes. In
form and size the ordinary umbrella is
nearly like our own, but the material is
silk, or paper beautifully painted or
glazed, and thus rendered perfectly wa
terproof. Though not very durable,
these umbrellas are light and pretty, and
so very cheap-about twenty cents each
that one does not mind their wearing
out occasionally. They have been made
and used in China, in just the same
style, for fifteen centuries, and in the
neighboring countries for perhaps nearly
as long time.
The state umbrella is quite different
affair-much larger and of the richest
materials. 1t is placed over the royal
couches, thrones, and chairs quite as
generally as carried in the open air.
They are borne by high officers over the
King and other members of the royal
family wherever they go, and umbrella
holders are recognized members of the
royal household both in Burmah and
Siam. One of the numerous titles of
his Majesty of Siam is "Lord of the
White Elephant and Supreme Owner of
the Umbrella that is. of the umbrella
of state, which it would be high treason
to raise over any head but that of the
giver. 1t is of crimson or purple silk,
kyn richly embroidered in precious
stones, lined usually with white
satin, inwrought with silver flow
ers and seed pearls in exquis-
ite clusters, and trimmed with heavy
gold fringe and costly lace. Sometimes,
on great occasions, umbrellas are carried
In tiers OF two, three, and five, one above
the other, diminishing in size toward the
top, and forming a perfect pyramid ;
while from the rim of each umbrella de-
pend scores of tiny gold or silver bells,
which, moved by the passing breeze,
make sweet music, that floats upon the
air like the sounds of an Eolian harp.
In Bur:nah the kings umbrella is white,
and tdat of the court red while in the
royal city, but elsewhere they carry gold
or gilded ones; and always over the
dead bodies of the nobility are placed
gold umbrellas, usually the gift OF the
sovereign. Both in Burmah and siam
there are many state umbrellas, all OF
precisely the same pattern, and one or
more is carried over the kings head on
all occasions, whether sitting or reclin-
ing, riding or walking, at home or
! abroad.

A COnY Island Romance.

A man and his wife, who had been
separated for more than two years, met
on the steamboat Arrowsmith yesterday
morning. Both were going to Coney
Island. Mr.. George Augustus Gum,
the husband, boarded the Arrowsmith
for O days excursion. In his rambles
through the boat he met his wife-his
first and only love-and prostrated him
self at her feet. She was accompanied
by sister and two other ladies. A feel
ing akin to love at first sight sprang up
and the young man and woman con-
founded those around them by their low
ing demonstrations. Mutual explana-
tions were indulged in and mutual mis-
understandings seem to have been
buried.
When the boat was fastened to the
wharf in front of ex-senator Norton s
hotel, husband, wife, and friends walked
up the sandy passage together. After
taking some refreshments at the hotel
the party went to the beach with the
intention of bathing. Gum was very
anxious that his wife should go in bath
ing with him. Indeed, he was so anx-
ious as to excite the suspicion of Mrs.
Gums sister, who urged her strongly
not to go into the water. Acting upon
her sisters advice she declined to bathe
Notwithstanding the seeming rebuff,
Gum hired bathing box and bathing
suit.
On his way to the surf equipped for a
swim, Gum encountered his wife and
her friends. He said to his wife $50
you'll not go in, won't youl knew you
dare not.
Then laughing in his wife's face he
said, "What kind of mourning would
you like to wearl"
Red, white and blue" replied his
his wife coquettishly.
knew you were Irish when 1 mar
ried you, and think your best mourn
ing will be the green above the red.
Good bye you'll be widow in twenty
minutes" SO saying the husband dart
ed headlong into the surf. He spoke
truly, for Gum disappeared, and before
help could reach him he was drowned.
The suicide was dentist about 2S
years old, of large and lucrative practice,
but of late, owing to family matters, ne
elected it and himself. f.-NeD York Sun.

A BELLIGERENT RODENT.
The Chief Engineer OF the Navy Van
quished by an Enormous Rat.
Washington Cor. New York SUM-


Washington Cor. New York SUM-
No less a person than Engineer-in-
Chief of the Navy w. w. w. Wood
came hobbling, like wounded soldier,
and with his ankles bandaged, into We'll
ker's this morning in search of break
fast.
"Gout, gout," said L; "too much of
Robesons old Madeira"
"No, no." he replied solemnly. "Rat,
rat I" and he proceeded to tell me of a
desperate combat, lasting nearly an hour,
that he had had with monster rat the
night before. The family being away,
and the rats not getting anything to eat
for some days, had become hungry and
desperate. Mr.. Wood was sleeping alone
in back room, the bed being near a
door. About l o'clock in the morning
he was awakened suddenly by severe
pain in his foot, and heard something
Jump heavily to the floor. A light re-
vealed the fact that deep cash had
been made on the ball of his left foot,
from which the blood was flowing freely.
AS there was no cat in the house, Mr..
Wood at once concluded that it was a
rat, and that it had made its exit. After
washing and bandaging the wound, he
again stretched himself on the bed and
fell into doze. The rat came at him
again, this time making an ugly cash in
the heel of his right foot. After band
aging the second wound, Mr.. Wood went
in search of the rat, resolved to kill him
if possible. But his ratship had eaten
his way into bureau in the front room.
A screw driver was brought into use and
one by one the drawers were opened,
and there in the lower one was found, to
use Mr.. Woods own word, "Mr. Rat
half as big as the water pitcher, and
looking directly at him with pair of the
wickedest eyes. Then he made a des-
perate jump directly in my face" Mr..
Wood had shut the door and the only
thing he had to defend himself was a
small rattan. The rat made desperate
fight with him, more than dozen times
jumping to the top of the bureau, and
thence in Mr.. Woods face and at his
throat. The combat lasted nearly an
hour by the clock, when, finding that
he could neither kill nor wound the in
furiated thing, and that he might get
more seriously injured, he withdrew,
leaving the rat in possession of the field,
and, indeed, the victor.
Wood waited for morning and his
servant man to arrive. In the meantime
the rat went desperately to work gnaw-
ing at the door, in order to again attack
the chief engineer, and had got more
than half way through when she servant
came, and the two entered the room,
armed with stout sticks, to renew the
combat. Removing all the furniture but
he bureau, into which the rat had again
retreated, they drove him out and re-
newed the fight. The infrriated Great
ure fought as desperately as before, now
jumping at the throat of one of his as
sailants, now at the other, inficting ugly
wounds on both and it was not until
after the battle had lasted twenty min
utes that the rat was killed His big
head is now exhibited at the Navy De-
partment as q trophy.

WHOLE NO. 1868.

The Emperor of China, who never
does anything in moderation, has ttOenty-
four umbrellas carried before him when
ever he goes ont hunting-perhaps as
protection against wild beasts. But
then, as he has an equal or larger num-
Der to herald his coming on other occa-
sions, we may conclude it is only love
of displaying his wealth or grandeur
rather an absurd display it would seem
to us. The heir to the crown has ten
umbrellas, and other princes and mobiles
five, three, two, one, respectively, accord
ing to their rank. So one may usually
read the rank of a noble he sees ap-
preaching by the number and style Of
his umbrellas, as he discovers the rank
of a mandarin, or civil officer, by the
color of his buttons. ns.-Fdnaie Roper
Feudge, 81. Nicholas for August.
