A Uni0ue Aerial TriD,

The Dispatch, of Erie, Pa, says:
Queer county, that Lancaster. Many
marvellous stories have been told, but
this decidedly takes the mule by the tail
and makes him turn about face in less
than York second. Think Of being
caught up by whirlwind and carried as
a dcad-head for two miles on the ragged
edge of an inky cloud that cuts the air ut
the rate of sixty-seven miles an hour,
and then being kindly dropped near
some convenient hospital. Romantic,
decidedly picturesque, amt it9 Cant
swallow it, eh? Well, we do not intend
to, but give it as matter of news. The
Williamsport Gazette is the guilty party
that uttered it. The mans name was
Jacob Eisenberger, and he lived at Park
ersburg, Lancaster county. Jacob went
out walking last Sunday. Storm came
up. Wind blew three cyclones. Jacob
was light, and wave of the cyclone
caught him, wrapped itself around him,
carried him above the tree tops fora dis
tance of two miles, pounded the air with
him, then dropped him heavily against .
seven-rail fence. Jacob had one of
his jaw bones broken, and was seriously
injured internally. He is now in the
Lancaster county hospital, and cannot
explain his novel aerial ride only save I"
say that he was insensible through the
entire performance.

A Tragedy.

Two brothers had grown up together.
Their names were Henry and Stephen
Hanes. Their father had died when they
were quite young, leaving a large fortune
to be divided between them. Stephen
was sober, steady going young man.
and boarded his money; while Henry
was profigate. One day. in 1867,
after Henry had squandered all his
money, he suddenly disappeard, and
nothing had been heard from him since.
Stephen continued to prosper and is to-
day very wealthy and much respected
citizen. A few evenings ago, while
Stephen was quietly sleeping-he, with
his family, having removed to palatial
mansion-he was awakened by hearing a
noise i'll his room. He Immediately
grasped his pistol and sprang from his
bed. The boots of a man were 2rotruJ.
ing from under the bed. He took de-
liberate aim and fired four times in quick
succession. No sound was heard. Had
he killed the burglar instantly? He
grasped the boots and gave tremendous
jerk, and then went backwards over the
washstand, and his own boots went
through the window. The cat was under
the bed and had been killed. He threw
the body out of the window and went to
bed. Yesterday he received a letter from

An Instructive Exercise.

A novel aid to instructive exercise has
been carried Oh during the last few weeks
i'll the garrison of Dresden, Saxony. De-
tachments of troops have been sent out
almost daily, deployed into attacking
formation, and ordered to advance
against an imaginary enemy. In rear of
them followed parties of sick bearers,
for whose special instruction the drill
was carried on, while further to tile rear
again a number of ambulance wagons,
distinguished by the red cross, were
drawn up, together with some country
wagons especially prepared for the trails
port for sick and wounded men. As the
assaulting lines move forward, certain
men were ordered to fall down from
time to time as though wottnded, and
were directed to take up appropriate at
titudes on the ground. After while,
the attack having been supposed to have
been successfully executed, the field was
searched by the sick-bearers, the
wounded men were discovered, their
injuries temporarily and hastily attend
ed to, and they themselves transported
to the conveyance in attendance. Each
sick-bearer was provided with an album,
in which were plates showing how dress
ings should be applied in various cases,
and how means for carrying wounded
men can be improvised ont of swords,
rifles, branches of trees, and so forth.

No Cause for COmnlaint.

He was singularly grave man, ever
for a sexton. For nearly half century
he had been a public functionary-hat
performed the conspicuous duties of {
sexton yet no one had ever seen hin
smile. Occasionally he joked, but he did
it in such funereal manner that nc
one could accuse him of levity.
One day he was standing on the
church steps, wiping his melancholy
features with red bandanna. A hearse
stood near, and three or four carriages
were drawn up behind it. The notes of
the organ floated out of the windows
with solemn effect. A stranger came
along and said
"Funeral %
And the old sexton gravely bowed his
head-it was.
"Who's dead p
The old man again wiped his brow and
gave the name of the deceased.
"What complaint P" asked the inauisi-
tive stranger.
Solemnly placing his bandanna in his
hat and covering his bald head, the old
sexton made answer:
"There is no complaint everybody
is entirely satisfied. Worcester Press,

claret.

A Pen Picture from the War Field.

Here is fine bit of descriptive writing
by one of the London Times corre-
spondents with the Russian army: It is
strange thing here sometimes, when I
take a ride out on the plain in front of
Kars, to notice the contrasting elements
which compose the scene. There is a
bright blue sky with a warm sun, and
the undulating plain stretches away,
only interrupted occasionally by short
dark horizontal lines, which indicate the
positions of batteries, past, present or
future. From one or other of these dark
lines, or from the forts themselves, a
cloud of white smoke is belched forth in
dead silence, which is followed only
after an interval of some seconds by
dull boom, accompanied in some IN
stances by the whistle of the shell as it
sails away on its deadly errand. Some
times a cloud of dark -colored earth is
thrown up, showing where shell has
burt. In the meantime lark is soar
ing overhead, and in the distance behind
me 1 hear a military band playing the
" Blue Danube" or some other fashions

JudiciOus Advertising.

The Springfield Republican publishes
editorially the following sensible remarks
on advertising:
Reforms Of all kinds seem to be in
fashion. The reaction from the craze of
speculation and initiation and politics
and low moral standing brings with it
application of good sense and economy,
of better morals and higher tone and
soberer views of things, in nearly Ill
departments of life. One of the out
groupings of this new fashion of common
sense is in the business of Advertising
a looping off of the more expensive and
sensational and vulgar modes of putting
the thing to sell before the attention of
the person who buys. The reform was
well voiced at a late meeting of the stove
manufacturers of the country at Detroit,
where the president denounced the in
effective and expensive advertising that
had been much indulged in by the trade,
the tawdry Autographs and other SEN
sational machinery, and recommended
instead the more exclusive use of the
best newspapers. eff we would make
the best possible use of our money!" he
continued, "we should patronize ably
conducted and responsible newspapers.
The newspaper is immeasurably the best
medium open to our trade; the most
liberal and expert advertisers testify to
its value, and in the employment of its
columns we would find a means of
escape from wasteful, undignified, and
ineffective methods, to which SO many re.
sort in their eagerness to secure atten-
tion and patronage" These are indeed
suggestions of experience and common
sense, and there are signs, as if by
instinct, that they are being
adopted by merchants, manufacturers,
and other classes of the community hay
ing occasion to engage in either pur-
chasing Or selling.
