THE FIRST SINGING OF THE OMAR
SEILLAISE."
London illustrated Newspaper.

London Illustrated Newspaper.
What marvellous power that strange
chant has exercised in France during
the greater part of century? What
wild vicissitudes have accompanied its
defamation by men and women who
have used it alike as a patriotic and a
revolutionary call to arms. Rouget de
Elsie was himself but n commonplace
young mana poetical lieutenant in the
army of Strasburg-but for once he
mounted to pinnacle of genius without
knowing it; for the "Marseillaise" was
simply a chant de bataile, and never in
tended to be a revolutionary song.
Dietrich who was mayor of Strasburg in
1892, asked the young soldier to compose
a new marching song. for volunteer
company going ON foreign service. He
finished the composition in one night,
and the next morning was heard to
rehearse it before the mayor and some OF
the artistes of the theater. At midday
it was sung in the market place, and so
great was its effect thai 300 recruits
Joined the 600 who were ready to go out.
That chant was to have history I'M
precedented by any battle song in the
world-to survive its author, and to take
new meaning and new name. Rouget
de L'Isle, himself prescribed as a roy
alist heard it in the Swiss mountains as
a menace of death, and recognizing the
well-known sound, asked his guide what
t was called 1t had then been named
the "Marseillaise Hymn" and was so
called till hymns went out of fashion, and
then it still returned the name of
"Marseillaise." Whether it has played
out its part in the history of France it
would be rash to endeavor to determine.

4 SENSATION At NIAGARA.


Boston Post.
The sensation of the season at Niagara
Is the projected trip across the Niagara
river of young lady, lately arrived from
Europe and known as the Signorina
Maria Spelterina. This young artist ar
rived in New York about two months
ago, and has since been quietly making
preparations to accomplish the feat that
gave Blondin a worldwide reputation.
She was borne in Italy, and made her
first appearance in public with her
fathers company when she was three
years of age. She performed until she
reached the age of ten upon the tight
rope, and then commenced the slack
wire and the rolling globe. In the last
two acts she achieved brilliant success,
performing for two years in Berlin and
Vienna. In 1871 she went to Russia
and made such a grand success upon the
high rope that she adopted that branch
of her profession entirely and give it her
sole attention. She is gifted with won
derful nerve, combined with cool daring,
and during her entire career has never
made single mistake, although on
several occasions she was only saved
from accident by great presence of mind.
Speaking Of the Niagara, she does not
regard the feat as anything at all extra
ordinary, as walking across the river
does not display the artists nerve hall
as much as the different performances
that she proposes to give on the rope
If sufficient strain can be got on the
rope so as to stretch it tolerably straight
she will perform ten or twelve different
acts. The rope is now being man
ufactured in New York, and when com
pleted will measure one thousand feet
and weigh one thousand seven hundred
pounds. 1t will require one Thousand
pounds weight of guys to keep it fairly
steady. The rope will be stretched acros
the Niagara Rapids about two hundred
feet below the railroad suspension bridge
and three hundred feet on each banI
of the river will be enclosed and ar
ranged with seats for the accommodation
of the spectators.

STUDIES LMONG THE SIOUX.

A Dakota correspondent of the Evans
vile, (Ind.) Journal says: They have a
keen sense of the ridiculous, particularly
the women, and somewhat of humor
think it was Running Antelope who said
that when he first heard of it he was
much surprised that the white men killed
their Savior, but now that he knew bet
ter he had changed his mind. I recollect
once, when friend and myself were
standing too near a circle where they
were having a square dance. two hags
whose heads were silvered by well nigh a
century, threw their arms around our
necks, and drawing us into the circle
compelled us to join in their gyrations,
much to the hilarity of the rest. But OF
all objects of study the women are the
greatest, from the prettiest, good-natured
young girls of seventeen to the toothless
old hays who, in this very tribe, have
been known to come on the battlefield
after the fight to kill the wounded
Much righteous Indignation has beer
expressed by American writer's with re-
gard to the scrvile labor which is re
quired of the women among the Indian
tribes, and this criticism is but to be
expected from people whose habits o
pampering their women exhibits itself il
the absurd etiquette which requires tina
a gentleman must offer to carry parce
for a lady if it he but an ounce weight
and is now resulting in the cry "wo

The way the Den.ocrdt winces
under its terrible defeat in Iowa
County tells plainly that that is
n very sore sport to it. 1t can't un-
derstand why democracy should
lose favor in Iowa County, while
gaining in many other places. A
friend suggests that in other places
Democratic papers are too honest
to charge the Republican party Will,
endorsing BelkDap, and thus are
respected and have more influence
among their read rs than our neigh

ABOUT 1880 o'clock last evening a

AbOl Low ~ ciOcK laSt evening q
wonderful coloring of the heavens
was visible at every point OF our
quiet little city. The first thought
of some was, "what is my future
destiny"-thcy having an idea that
the end OF this great world had
drawn very near. But others who
had witnessed similar sights before,
rightly Judged it to be the reflection
of some great connagration; and it
was soon ascertained that rick of
70 tons of hay, owned by John J.
Ross, Esq, situated in a field west
OF his residence was being consumed.
The loss, including shed, fencing .&c.,
must amount to about $500. The
light was so great as to be noticed
in Darlington. The people there
were led to fear our entire city was
in flames, and tclegraphed here in .
quiring about the fire. The origin
OF the fire is not known. The gem
eral impression seems to be that it
was case Of Spontaneous COM
bustion."
