Miraculous Escape Of Young
Lady and the good luck ola Stock
broker.

A most miraculous incident oc.
Cured during the thunder shower
on Tuesday morning, and, among
the many curious freaks perpetrated
by loose electricity, is one decidedly
unique. Miss Katie Fagan,a young
lady residing with Mrs. Winters, at
the Winter House on Third street,
was standing pretty close to the
stovepipc in the kitchen and had a
large basin of apples in her right
hand, when a vivid flash was seen
without. simultaneously with it,
what appeared to be
A BALL OF FIRE
as large as a small marble, darted
down the outside of the pipe, skip
ped across the stove and, knocking
the pan of apples out Of her hand,
passed up her arm to the shoulder
and then disappeared. The arm
was instantly and completely par
alyzed, and so remained for ten
minutes, but by rubbing briskly the
blood again commenced to circulate,
and aside from sensation as if
caused by
THE PRICKING OF A NEEDLE,
soon resumed its usual vigor. The
young lady was, of course, much
frightened, and excited by the oc-
currence. 1t certainly was most
fortunate escape, and the most rea-
sonable hypothesis upon which to
account tor her good luck in not be-
ing killed outright, is that that ball
of lightning was around looking for
A CERTAIN sTocKBhoKER,
a boarder, (Which his name is Char
ley and not finding him, just
thought it would have IA little fun
with the young lady. We do not
know whether there is anything
about the mysteries of ladies' dresses
that would act as lightning con-
ductor, but suppose that hooks and
eyes are used, and if they are That
might have been the attracting mag
net. We congratulate the lady on
her most fortunate escape, and

The Dangers Of Dancing.

THE Pal Nal Gazette says: "At an
inquest held in London on the body of
young lady who died suddenly, few
hours after attending an evening party,
of apoplexy, the Coroner remarked that
1t was pity to say anything against so
healthy and pleasurable exercise as
dancing, but 1t most certainly produced
ap0pleXy in certain cases. The cases in
which death is directly produced by
dancing are happily rare, but the seeds
of death are often sown in ballroom,
not so much from dancing as from the
circumstances under which it is carried
on. For instance, what can be more
likely to produce apoplexy or some seri-
Gus illness than the practice of eating
ices when thoroughly heated by violent
exercise? Again, the atmosphere OF
many o ball room, crammcd as 1t often
Is with three times as many people as it
can comfortably contain, is enough, of
itself, to poison anyone not acclimatized
TO sutfocation by previous training.
Then there are the sudden changes of
temperature to which young ladies, INSULT
cient!y clad, are exposed on leaving the
heated rooms as they return home, over
tien under which such changes of tenn
perature are likely to affect them II they
have any tendency to lung disease. The
late hours also which are necessarily
kept in the season cannot be otherwise
than very prejudicial to the health of
both young and old, and probably cause
many Illnesses that are unjustly credited
to other sources. There is, in truth,
great need of reform in most of the
social habits of the present day, and the
wonder is not that one young lady is
killed by dancing, but that any, save
the strongest, survive the amusements
and dangers of summer in London

at Mr. Bledsoe and his companion, both

told the jury that it remained for them
to say, from the evidence, whether Jacob
Shelmire had executed the will in dis

they found that he had not.
One of the most remarkable things
connected with the trial was the sudden
disappearance of Bledsoe and Passmore.

What Rats Are Good For.

Of what use is the rat to man? Well,
| not very much that we know of; vet a
few items may be mentioned. Probably
we must not attach much Importance to
the alleged prophetic power of the rat
That II he gnaws o persons clothes, that
person will speedily die; that if he sud
denly quits house, the house will very
shortly be burned down; that if he de-
serts ship, the ship is in sinking state.
A mill at PEBBLES was suddenly deserted
by whole colony of rats, about twenty
years ago; two hours aftorward the mill
was burned down. But it must be said
that the logic is very weak which proves,
from these facts, the possession of any
prophetic power by Mr.. Rat. We have
evidence that he has sometimes been
made useful as an r. E. or an r. A.
James, in his Military Dictionary,
says; " kats are sometimes used
in military operations, particular.
ly in enterprises for the pur.
pose of setting fire to gunpowder. On
these occasions a lighted match is tied
to the tail of the animal Marshal Vau-
ban recommends, therefore, that the
walls of powder magazines should be
m lde very thick, and the passages for
light and air so narrow as not TO admit
rats. We do not know whether a cruel
sport can be called useful employ
ment OF rats; but an account is given
OF strange proceeding at Rome.
A large number of rats were dipped in
spirits of tuTpentine, set on fire. and
made to rush down an open flight OF
steps near the Vatican; they reached
Ihe bottom as masses of charred flesh,
amid the shouts of the populace. Rats
are worth three shillings dozen to
furnish supply to those brutal am
bltlons in which rat-killing terriers
show their power. Rats are also caught
Tor the value of the skins. There is a
tlrm IN Paris which buys the skins for
this purpose. The fur is dressed into A
very good substitute for beaver while
the pelt or membrane is dressed into
leather so fine, elastic and close as to be
used for the thumbs of the best gloves.
II anyone believes that rats are not used
Ior human 1ood he must change his
OPINION. In Parls the chiffoniers or bone
eat them. Gypsies eat such
rats as are caught in stacks and barns,
ana are less strong in flavor and odor
than those that feed omnivorously. In
china split rats are bought as a dainty. |
An English surgeon of some note had |
them cooked for his own eating In a |
man-of-war, where the rats made havoc |
with the biscuit, the sailors had regu. |
ar battle and brought down numbers of |
hem; Jack made rat.pie, baked it and
liked 1t. AT the siege of Malta the
French garrison, when famished, offered
IS much as dollar head for rats, or
wo dollars if barn-fed. During the
'iege of Paris, in the late Franco q erman
var, many tasted rat who had never
asted 1t before.-AU the Year Round.
