A MAN, Boy AND HORSE STRUCK by
LIanTNINd.-A terrible tragedy occurred
near Allendale, on the Port ROYAL Rail-
road, last Wednesday afternoon. A young
man named M. o. Fits, n law student in
tho office of Joseph Irving, Esq, started
out Tuesday morning on business tour
through the neighborhood. While riding
lcisurely along Wednesday afternoon. he
overlook little white boy, about twelve
years of age, travelling in tho same direc-
ton. He Immediately halted and invited
the little fellow to take seat behind
him. The two then proceeded slowly
along. Soon after passing II log cabin
by the roadside, in which nh old negro
lived, small cloud approached and G
light shower of rain commenced to fall.
Young Fits urged his horse under the
overhanging boughs of large tree and
halted. A few moments afterwards,
there was binding fash of lightning,
and horse and riders fell upon the earth.
Almost Immediately. there was terrific
peal OF thunder. .IIorrified beyond mea-
sure, the negro rushed to the tree
Horse, man and child were all lying mo-
tionless. The negro sped az fast NJ his
legs would carry him To DIR. Irvings, n
mile distant, and told his sal tale. As
quickly as possible, the doctor proceeded
to the spot, but tho unfortunate young
man and the child were beyond human
aid. The horse was also completely
dead. Death was, undoubtedly, instan-
taneous. Thcre were no marks or bruises
about either the voung man, the child or
the horse. nor was there anything to in
dictate whore tho electric lnid had
touched them. except small singed
place on tho childs hair, near one of the
ears. The tree had not been struck.

COSTLY HosfITALTTY.---We are not sure
that Boston upon n late occasion wanted
to see Gen. Grant; but Mt any rato she
paid roundly for tho rapture, tho honor
or the bother-whatcvcr it might be.
The keepers of that renowned inn, the
Revere House, have rendered their bill
for boarding and lodging the General
and his tail; and the lesson which it
teaches liz that you cannot have Prcsi-
dents et al for guests without making
dreadful inroads into the municipnl
money chest. We have peruscd the
particulars with kind OF awe. The cost
of keeping T. G. for four days was $I2O.
Belknap came lower; he, like Robeson,
General Jewell, Babcock md Wilson, il
rated mt $40 n day, or $500 for the whole
illustrious crowd. We do not know
what there is about Secretary Delnno
which should make him more extensive;
but whether he ate, drink, smoked
bathcd or slept more than the others or
not, it is certain that his keeping cost
S18 days more than your common
Secretaries. During their short stay,
they consumed wine and cigars valued Mt
.25, and there is nm item of s12 for
extra meals, with large number of fires
Mt So each. The sum of 1925 appears,
being the cost of bringing up the Presi-
dents trunk from the depot. All the
meals, wo note, were ''privatc," which
doesn't say much Cor the sociability of
the party. We really do not like to
think of all these jolly fellows eating
solitary and alone. Babcock, poor man,
without meaning it, added considerably
to the "dem'd total" by leaving a faucet
running in his room, so that the rains
descended and the floods came and the
water went through the floor and ruined
the frescoed ceiling of the parlor below
($1OO) Being superintendent of an
aqueduct when he is at home, the Gene
ral should have understood better the
workings of those water-f1tures. Bnt
the glory of this big bill was in its ulti-
mate charge: "To banquet to President
Grant and party-$1 ,OOO" However
hungry, we think we should attain q
tolerable sense of repletion inst by read
ing the bill of fare of that banquet with
the aid of a French dictionary. Even
the strawberries were $3.50 per quart.
Then $3.50 for "tiowers. bright flowers, to
strew in the conqueror's path" Then
$50 for rent of picture to hang in his
room. with SIT paid for insurance against
the Presidents looking at it too hard, or
falling into it, or against the superfiuous
water perhaps from Gen. Babcocks q
basin. We read in ancient history of
tho luxury of the Roman EMPEROR
well, this, too, seems to have been a
very C;esarean time. We condole with
Boston. Presidents do come high.

lowing as Il substitutes:
Whereas, according to the evidence

The bells were tolled at Pennington on
Wednesday, the day Vice-President Will
son was buried at Mattel, and the villag
ers on foot followed through the village
a massive bowlder of ten tons weight
which was drawn by ten oxen from a
distance of nearly two miles, and placed
on the one-acre lot belonging to the late
Vice President, which includes his birth
place. This acre was part of the place
owned by Mr.. Goliath, but which was
sold many years since to Luther Hayes,
q leading shoe manufacturer, who, find
ing that Mr.. Wilson desired to possess
it, presented him with the acre i'll ques
ton long time ago. Apropos ofwhich,
the following from the Utica On. Y.)
Observer is interesting We stated
that the Vice President was born In a
gypsy camp. This statement having
been denied, we take occasion to reiter-
ate it. It is literally true. There were
in Stafford County, New Hampshire,
early in the century, two wandering
tribes of rowing vagabonds, who dwelt in
huts and tents and travelled from place
to place, picking up scanty subsistence
by making and selling baskets and eking
out their uncertain livelihood by fortune
telling, tinkering, etc. To one of these
tribes the Colbaths belonged, and in their
hut the departed statesman of New En-
gland was born .

The Prince Of Wales, Income.

1t is now close on twelve years since
the establishment of the present
Prince took place, ON his marriage in
1868. AS is well known, the Parliament
added 100000 year to the inherited
EGO, 900 from the Duchy OF Cornwall,
making together an annual sum OF Gl00,-
600. The Princess received an annuity
of 100000; and there were besides the
abundant savings from the Duchy dur
ing the minority, which reached the
handsome sum Of 9540,000. Of this
amount ego, 900 was laid out In the pur
chase of an estate at Sandringham;
100000 on suitable outfit; EGO, 900
on house, ETC., for the estate; while
100000 more, it was seated, would be
absorbed by repairs to farm-houses and
Improvement of farms as they dropped
out of lease, which would leave a balance
of ESQ., on hand. Lord Palmerston,
indeed, declared at the tine that the
working balance would be scarcely ap-
preciable. The figures, however, seem
loose enough, and allow the widest
margin, especially in the case of the
100000 for repairs to farm-buildings,
etc., which would be held over till the
occasion served. In a recent semi-offi-
cial expose, in which the state of the
Princes affairs were set out, it was said
that large additional sums had been sunk
in the esoate, but which had brought no
return. This probably refers to the sum
SGT sppurt fol dis 1ooPi11e of sr 1l. l.o'.''~.
in repair and the general improvement OF
the estate. Till it was thus used, how
ever, it must have borne interest. So
that the whole income from all sources,
including the Princess jointure, would
thus have amounted to 9115, 900 year.

Trifing Causes for Se,f.Murder.

Little matters are more frequently the
cause OF suicide than great affairs. An
irritable nervous system, q brain too
highly wrought, are apt to magnify into
the greatest horrors, trihes to which the
healthy Organization would scarcely give
thought. Many girl has taken away
her life rather than endure a scOlding,
and schoolbOys have drowned themselves
to avoid the performance of some heavy
tasks. A noble lord of high degree once
shot himself because he was afflicted
with the itch. He had evidently never
heard of the Duke of Argyle, or the IA
nous scratching post of history. A
London reporter put an end to his life to
save himself the trouble of making out
long report. and the story is told OF
gentleman who gave IS reason for his
suicide that he was tired of the trouble
of putting off and on his clothes. The
latest case of self-slaughter for trifing
cause is that of a married lady In Lon
don, who suicided because she was
greatly troubled and depressed about
changing her residence. It is curious
fact connected with felo de SO that so
few OF those persons whose obituaries
we should SO gladly write ever shuttle off
this mortal coil. Who ever heard of
creditor drowning himself, an annuitant,
or poor relation How often have we
| wished that such and such poet would
put his wailings into execution, and
sleep beneath the willows? But none of
these people ever do drown; it is your
poor innocents, who never owned a cent,
nor drew pension, nor wrote line of
poetry your sensitive plants, who start
at the creaking of door, or tremble at
the sight of rat, or bailiff. Out OF
their ranks alone come the "one more
unfortunates, denizens of unknown
graves. Inter Ocean,.

a Tall Chimney Strengthened in 2 Novel
WaV.

The lofty chimney stack at Messrs.
Peter Mathews & Sons chemical works,
at Pitchcombe, Worcestershire, says the
London Building NeaOs, has lately be-
come very much out of perpendicular,
but almost without any building or en-
cheering works being carried out, the
stack has been brought back to it's origi-
nal position. The stack is 1872 feet high,
and was built in 1882 by Mr.. Gideon
Morris. It had gradually fallen from
its upright position, and Mr.. Augustus
Mathews consulted Mr.. FL. J. Taylor,
electric engineer, of Nailsworth, who
tested it's position, and found it to be
three feet ten inches out of perpendicu-
lar, but undertook to restore it to its
original position by a process requiring
on scafolding. The terms were agreed
upon, and accordingly Mr.. Taylor COM
menced operations few weeks ago,
assisted by three workmen. The CHM
ney is of an octagonal shape, and the
operations of Mr.. Taylor consisted IN
cutting out one course OF bricks from
five of the sides, and inserting thinner
course, and then letting the chimney
fall upon the latter and so pull itself
upright. For this purpose he erected a
platform about forty feet from the base,
and with hammers and chisels he and
his men cut through the chimney,
which at this point was OF the thickness
of about two feet. AS the bricks were
removed from each side, thinner
course was substituted, and the inter
vening spaces were filed with iron
wedges. This work lasted for about
three weeks, and unfortunately the
weather was most unfavorable, being
frequently very boisterous, and naturally
causing considerable alarm, both to Mr..
Mathews, and the venturesome engineer
himself. However, the chimney STOOD
through it all, and when everything was
In readiness the wedges were withdrawn
by Mr.. Taylor and his three men, and
tie stack was brought within an inch or
two of its perpendicular position. The
finishing stroke was performed on the
evening Of the 9Th instant. 1t required
nice calculation to carry out this work,
and Mr.. Taylor is complimented on the
exactness with which he did it. He es-
timated that quarter of an inch would
bring over the stack seven inches at top,
so that he had to let it down about an
inch and half, and had he exceeded
his calculation by one-eighth of an inch,
the stack would have been brought too
far over, and there is little doubt that it
would have completely collapsed, and
killed those on the spot who were re-
moving the wedges, as the weight above
where the work was being carried on
was estimated at $50 tons. The erection
of a new stack would probably cost
something like 98OO, whereas this has
been Strengthened at about tenth of the
cost, and Is now stated to be in as good
a condition as new one.

THE DYING YEAR.

The year is dying, soberiy the trees
Are mellowing-with dull, sad fHce
They lean against the sadness OF the sky
The glory OF the summer has gone By,
Gone is the smile of gladness from the place.
0 sad TO SEQ the sun come later up.
And sad to see him pass betimes away,
And sad the pallid ghnts he throws across
The leaf-strewn garden sad the sense OF loss,
The all-pervading fragrance OF decay.
Yet at the open window, as I sit
With closed eyes, aud hear the gentle rain
Fall on the damp green earth like lovers slghs,
And feel the breath of earth upTise
From far and near, from hillock and from plain.
The same soft drip Of Lightly falling showers,
Upon the moss-greens growing everywhere.
The same strange Silly warmness In the lift,
The cawing of the rocks, the gentle drift
OF odorous distillings IN the air.
Dafodiis growing on the fields green breast,
Buds all a-blow, and the enchanted breath
Of violets peeping in the damp hedgerow,
Kindled to being-O mystery, that so
Death looks like life, and life so like to DEATH
