Throwing Pies BEFORE Swine.

All the railroad lines between New
York and Philadelphia are completely
stTewn every day with paper boxes,
thrown from the car-windows after
the lInch-contents are gone, and men
are constantly employed clearing the
debris from the rOadways.
This reminds one of an adventure at
a Western country railroad station
where, when the train stopped, sever
al of the passengers were astonished
to observe seven or eight swine racing
from a field near by up to the railway
track, halting beneath the car-win-
dOws. Attention was distracted, how
ever, by the entrance of a boy with
mice fried pies, only five cents
apiece" This really appetiZing-look-
ing merchandise was eagerly pur-
chased, especially by any one who had
ever eaten fried apple turnover in
New England. But, alas the folly of
trusting to appearances ; for no sooner
was the first mOuthful beneath the
teeth of the purchaser than flavor of
strong butter, grease, and general mas
tiness met his taste, causing him to
hastily raise the car-window and not
only eject the mOuthful, but the re-
mainder of the pie from which it had
been taken,-a proceeding which the
hogs waiting beneath were evidently
well acquainted with, as they devOured
the discarded viands with much gus
to, and to the disgust of the passen-
gers, who thus found that they had
become swine purveyOrs, as doubtless
others had before them, judging from
the animals action.

81. D. Conway writes from London ::
''i have heard from a source which have rea-
son to trust, that the rumor that Queen Vic
tOria has sent an autograph letter to the En-
peror OF Germany is true. The letter con-
tanned an earnest and solemn appeal to the
Emperor 10 use his power and influenceto save
Europe from the calamity of war From the
same source | have heard that 4 very remark
able reply has been received by her majesty,
one not likely to be laid before the English
public. In 1t she was reminded that a few
wears ago when Germany was attacked and had
to enter upon deadly strife, Osuch impressive
appeal for peace came from her majesty, and
that war was then prolonged by the continual
supply OF strength to France by England-just
enough to prOlOng bloodshed after the hope OF
q successful resistance was passed. However,
L my information is correct, the Emperor says
that he will not, on that account, tail to do ms
best to preserve the peace OF Europe.

The Republicans claim that, even admitting

A Rr,e. Of Terrible Accidents.

In Sacramento, CAL, on Saturday
night, the 18th, during performance at Moor
opera house, the floor gave way, killing seven
and wOunding about one hundred spectators.
The opera house was over livery stable, and
the floor poorly supported. The house was
Just opened by a vaudeville troupe. The stage
and gallery were precipltated into the stable,
the stage lights were extinguished and the
confusion fearful. In clearing away the debris
the following were found dead s. A. Perry,
janitor; Frank Myers and W. J. Foster, COM
posters OF the Union Office; Henry Vaca, Ezra
Wilson, formerly county treasurer; Michael
Freeman, and two unknown. The performers
escaped with some bruises, Eddie Peak, OF
the Swiss Bell Ringers, and Mrs. Wilson, va
riety performer, being mostly injured, but
neither seriously. Many OF the wounded were
taken from the ruins in critical condition and
= number will probably die.
During a church festival in a hall in Perry
vile, n. Y, the north bent OF the floor gave
way, precipitating over fifty ladies and child
rem ten or twelve feet to the floor below. Mrs
H. L. Kee,er's right leg was broken, the bone
being badly shattered, and her left arm and
foot were bruised. Mrs. John Cress and Mrs.
David Wells were severely injured about the
chest and body. Mrs. Cora Names knee and
snkle were sprained. Others were painfully
rui ied. Mrs. Cress may not survive.

Hunters Paying Rent for Lakes.

From the Sacramento Record.
DURING the last two years profess
sional duck-hunters have hired the
lakes i'll the vicinity of Sacramento for
the hunting season, and prevented am
ateurs from shooting thereon. In
some instances they have made money
by the transaction, but as a general
thing did not. The result promises
TO be that the competition for the pos
session of the best shooting grounds
will cause the rent to become so high
that the hunters will not have as large
incomes as they did before they began
renting. The amateur shooters of the
city are considering the desirability of
of forming clubs for the renting of
lakes next year, the larger the club,
the larger the number of acres leased,
and as they have considerable feeling
over what they term the freezing.
out policy of the professionals, it is
probable that if the organization of
of clubs is carried into effect those
who shoot for the market will have a
brisk competition in the bidding fer
the possession of lakes.
