Strange Financial Disaster in Massa
chusetts.

A strange financial disaster has fallen
upon North Hadley, Massachusetts
During several years the farmers have
mainly devoted themselves to tobacco
culture. A few remarkably good crops,
sold at very remunerative prices, made
the growers reckless in their money
transactions and over confident of the
future. They were ready to endorse
each others paper for the asking, and
became inordinately speculative. A
short time ago one firm failed, and then,
the panic once started, others followed
in rapid succession. The Springfield Re-
publican says: :" Real estate has fallen
one-third in the town, and business is
almost hopelessly stagnant. OF course
the community is utterly FRUSTRATED
under such series of misfortunes in
the business sense, though individuals
bear it courageously. There was dan
ger at first that the town would lose
their minister, the Rev. James M. Bell,
but, by weekly pledges of money,
which is paid in every Sabbath, enough
has been raised to keep along for the
present. And the interesting fact about
this is that the parties guaranteeing
the parsons pay are in the majority,
the folks who usually have given little
or nothing toward supporting the
church.

A Singular ElOpement.

A romance in real life is reported from
Halifax, in Yorkshire, England, namely,
the elopement of bride on her we'd
ding day with the gentleman who ofici.
ates as .best man" at the ceremony,
and who was, moreover engaged to be
married to her sister. After the mar
nage had taken place, the wedding par
ty adjourned to the house of the bride 8
mother. One by one they left the room
where they were assembled, until the
bridegroom found himself sitting alone
with ais mother. in-law. Some time
having elapsed without the reappear-
ance Of the bride, and the bridegroom
having exhausted his conversational
powers, he went in search of her, and
was rewarded by finding her in public
house with the ssbest man." The
bridegroom himself being a teetotaler,
was given to understand that his pres
ence was de trop in that establishment.
This led to an argument, during the
course of which the bride and the chest
man" slipped out of The public house,
and have not since been heard of.

LIQUID Sulphur.

A mine of liquid sulphur is now be-
ing worked near Palermo, Sicily-that
is, the sulphur is being removed as it
runs from the assures ia the rock, at
the rate of some forty or fifty tons a
day. The sulphur proceeds from a
mine in the interior of the mountain,
which interior is in molten state. The
laborers, it appears, are often obliged
to stop up the assures from which the
molten sulphur runs, SO as to give it
time to cool sufficiently to be removed,
after which the assures are again I'm
stopped. It seems, that on a recent oc-
casion, on opening one of those assures,
no sulphur was found, and the idea en-
tered the heads of the workmen to re-
open the hole by blasting. They sue
ceeded in re-establshing communiea-
ton with the interior, but the pressure
had become so strong during the OBJ
struction that the expansion of the gas
produced terrific explosion, involving
serious loss of life.

A Curious Relic.
From the Oshkosh Northwestern

from the OSHKOSH Northwestern.
A farmer named Griffin applied at
Boynton's jewelry store on Monday, of
fering to sell large silver medal about
q. inches in diameter, which he had
turned out of the sod while blowing in
his field. He said he turned it out of
furrow about ten inches deep, and on
sod ground that he was breaking for
the first time. The medal was some
what rusty and discolored when found,
blt was easily polished to its original
silvery brightness. The medal is Gu
riosity, and but very slightly worn and
that only on one side. The other side
seems perfectly preserved, with no
traces of the effects of time and weather
upon it's surface. On one side of the
medal is the bust of George the Third
in bas relief, over which is stamped in
circle, +" Geoygius III del Gr0tia."
On the reverse side is presenteda church
in the background shaded on one side
with pine and on the opposite with an
oak grove. In the foreground is lion
lying upon the ground with head erect.
and in defiant posture. while wolf
stands baying at him, evidently afraid
to make an attack. The outer rim
OF the medal is In perfect preserva-
ton, and little hole in the top of the
medal shows that cord once attached
it to the breast Of perhaps some proud
and meritorious possessor. There is
no date upon it, although it was appa-
'rently cast in the days of George the
Third. How it came on MIR. Grifhnss
farm ten inches beneath sod that was
never before broken. is the mystery. Tn
all probability it was lost there in the
early days of the country by some for
eign traveller who possessed it as re-
ward for services done his country.
Mr.. Boynton purchased it for the value
of the silver it contained; but as curl
osity it is of far greater worth.

Cinderella's Glass Slipper Not Glass
at ALI.

Was it really glass slipper by means
of which the darling little Cinderella
tt iumphed over her unnatural relatives
and won the hand of the Prince? No,
that is a pathological blunder. The
story of Cinderella was a tradition be-
fore it was put into print in the French
of Charles Perrault. In medieval
French the phonetic equivalent of verre
GLASS was vaire, kind of variegated,
or spotted fur. The first man who
translated the spoken into the written
legend is answerable for the introduc-
ton of verre instead of vaire, and hence
for changing the slipper of the ancient
story into the now universally accepted
glass slipper. The verre is manifest
absurdity. The pretty Cinderella could
not have danced in it. The fur slipper,
on the contrary, has abundant excuse
for it's appearance in the story, for was

Although nowadays we see a great

many lean and lank ones, who sigh for

An Aged Cypress.

The cypress of Montezuma, near til
City of Mexico, is forty-four fee

ward Of twenty centuries. In the church
yard of Santa Maria del Thule, in the
Mexican State of Oxaca, is a cypress
which measures 112 feet in circuit, and
is without sign of decay. At Paienque
are expresses growing among the ruins Of
the old city, whose streets they may
have shaded in the days of its pride. By
the usual methods, a writer in the north

young, itwould still be 4,OA years old.

IN THE JAWS OF DEATH.

Considerable alterations had been

All security added for the security OF
officers and crew. The fore and main
matches had been fitted with heavy
iron grating securely bolted to the
G onbisgs, while over the main a
ap ecies of iron cage had been con
stxaeted, fitted with door and secured
by bolts.
The ship carried three masts, boat
swalne, and sixteen men, which with
the captain, steward and cook. completed
the Iransit's complement.
The chief mate, John Maynard, was a
handsome young son of the ocean,
axalwart and brave, The second mate,
Hr. Halpin, was good, efficient officer,
while the third officer was yet young
boy scarcely twenty.
Half dozen sailors, armed with cut
Easses ground sharp as razors; buckled
round their waists, and with loaded
nuskets, stood on either side of the
gzngway as the coolies filed over side
frona the large tonka boats alongside

kaTraeoons.

was suffered to depart without further

dangerous secret.
On the morning of the tnird day
Capt Sylvester crawied into the run of
the vessel, leaving the door open be-
hind him, his object beingi to look after
the safe gtowage of the specie. With
CUT moments warning he came upon
the Chinese steward, who was too intent
upon what he had before him to notice
the approach of his master.
The Chinaman by some means had
managed to break open keg. contain

his pallid face.
