origin OF the panic. Behind the scenes were five
hundred school children who were to take part IN
the performance. calcium light in the gallery
flashed its glare on the stage, and immeoiateiy
the cry of fire was raised. The audience became
panic-stricken and rush was made for the STAR
ways. The lower circle of the house is but few
steps above the level of the street, but the steps
are narrow and soon became blocked by the surg
ing crowd.
The alarm rapidly spread throughout the city,
and those who had wives or chill dren there bur-
ried forward to their rescue. An effort WAS made
from the stage to check the mad career Of the
afrighted audience, but quiet was not restored
until number were trampled to death and many
were seriously injured. Ten persons were killed
and large number severely injured.
The performance consisted OF the alegory
"Great Republic" under the auspices of the
Cincinnati Relief Union, the proceeds to be ap-
piled to the relief of the suffering poor Of this
city.

The VILE FERTILIZER This fertilizer is
rapidly gaining widespread reputation. We
have seen letter from prominent planter
testifylng IN strong terms to its Incompatible
merits. We make the following extract:
l report results obtained from the Vile fer
tillzer. selected and planted in cane last Feb
ruaty piece of land measuring sixty-ive acres !,
and in which a crop OF COW pea vines were
ploWed under in the fall Of 1874. In, forty acres
OF this land applied about so pounds of Vile
fertilizer to the acre. 1t yielded 5000 pounds Of
sugar per acre.
Fifteen acres from the same piece Of s:xty-fye
acres, with nothing else but the COW pea vines
plowed under. yielded 227o pounds per acre. The
remaining ten acres, which had been covered
with about six inches deep of stable manure after.
the pea vines had been plowed under, yielded
1870 pounds of sugar per acre. I also used 600
pounds per acre OF the same fertilizer upon forty
acres OF first year rattoons, which yielded 24SC'
pounds to the acre. And ninety-one acres, also
first year rattoon with land in the same condition
as the forty, excepting the fertilizer, produced
935 pounds Of sugar per acre.
The above letter speaks for itself, and we deem
II unnecessary to add a word thereto of what we
have heard of the efficacy of this fertilizer.
The Office of the company is at 81 North Peters
street.

The Paris correspondent of the New York
lines relates story concerning the statue of
Napoleon, recently placed upon the Vendome
Column, which is we'll calculated to excite the
ire OF the Bcaapartists. The statue was badly
injured in its fail, ard manufac .urer of
bronze was charged with the work of restoring
it. He offered to do it for 90 900 francs, not
counting the cost of putting it up, which
might be reckoned OF some ten thousand more
The sculptor then came forward aud offered
to cast new statue and put it up for 40, 900
francs; and he particularly wanted to do this,
for time bad shown him certain faults in his
original work. The position Of his left arm
was very bad, and there were several folds in
his drapery that had been pronounced inar.is-
tic by competent critics.
He should very much like to revise his
work q little, now that an opportunity was
offered, and would do so for the bare cost
The government declined the offer. The
statne was repaired according to contract; but
among the workmen employed there was a
firm friend of the Imperial family. He pro-
tested agai1s. the statue, and was sent away
But be managed to fad means to get upon
the scaffolding, and. in the presence of some
officials, took common putty knife from his
pooket and nearly severed the Emperor 5
arm. The crevices had been filed in with
wax. But al that time the statue was in posi-
ton aud screwed down. It is asserted that
the whole statue is repaired in this way, and
that it will be full of holes al. er six months'
exposure
The contractors, who would like to hang this
meddlesome Bonapartist workman, plead
haste as an excuse, and say that they will re-.
pair the crevIces with bronze, now that the
statue is in position. The statue of the
Little Corporal" is now undergoing repairs
On the memorable 4th Of September it was
thrown into the Seine by order. Rochefor.e
pretended he had put it there to keep it from
the Prussians, and in SO doing had acted az a
friend Of art; buta document concerning this
statue has just come to light. signed by Gam
betta. and the terms used show that the in
tention was to destroy it.
