A WOMAN AND TIE GERMAN DEVIL.

Charles Warren Stoddard thus
writes to the San Francisco Chronicle,
giving a droll legend Of the Strasburg
cathedral:
Gwen the name of the architect Is
not positively known, which is rather
blessing to his family, inasmuch as
it is asserted that he was in league
with the devil. This unhappy man,
burning with ambition, designed
many plans for the proposed structure,
which was to be the glory Of the Con-
tinent. In his feverish sleep he was
enchanted by visions of cathedrals,
such as the world has never seen, but
there was ever before his eyes one
vailed picture which haunted him
night and day. AS he approached
this mysterious object in his dream,
it invariably disappeared in cloud
Of mist, and at that moment his ears
were filled with sounds Of laughter
such as is never heard out of the fifth
act Of C melodrama when the CORY
handed villain Of the piece drops
through the trap in company with the
humorous and combustible gentleman
in red. OF course it was the
There was bargain struck in course
Of time, and the architect promised,
not only his own soul, but the soul OF
the first one who should cross the
threshold of the cathedral after the
conservation, and in return received
the plans of the present structure.
But the Germans know we'll how to
outwit the devil, perhaps because they
have had so much to do with him.
The architect died in great agony, af-
ter having confessed all, and woman
of ill-repute, who was at that time
awaiting sentence in the Archbishop's
prison, volunteered to sacrifice her
soul for the good Of the community.
She was conveyed in box to the door
Of the cathedral, and, in the presence
!. Of vast concourse Of spectators, ,crept
, from her place Of concealment into
the sanctuary. There was deathlike
stiffness for a moment. Everybody
held his breath and wondered what
was coming next. Then wild shrek
echoed through the building and the
( worst was over When the Archbishop
4 and the priests, with burning tapers
1 and the acolytes, with smoking cen
r ser, entered the sacred edifice, they
: discovered that the devil had seizet
g the unhappy creature and broken hel
J. neck on the spot. But the unhapp!
4 one was not the woman Of ill-repute
It she was all right and jolly as possible
t for she had taken pig in her arms,
Q pig in a woman's dress, and this wa

A BREATHING CAVE.

In the range Of mountains In Wes-
tern North Carolina known as the "Fox
Range a most singular phenomenon
exists. It is breathing cave" In
the Summer months a current of air
comes from it SO strongly that per-
son can't walk against it, while in the
Winter the suction is just as great.
The cool air from the mountains in
Summer is felt for miles in direct
line from the cave. At times most
unpleasant odor is emitted upon the
current from the dead carcasses of
animals sucked in and killed by the
violence. The loss of cattle and stock
in that section in Winter is accounted
for in this way: They range too near
the mouth Of the cave, and the current
carries them In. AT times, when the
change from'ihhalation begins, tile all
is filled with various hairs Of animals
not unfrequently bones and whole
earcasses are found miles from the
place. The air has been known te

by a terrible roaring, gurgling sound

in allaying thirst, and when its
qualities are fully understood it
viii probably be kept for sale in all
the saloons and beer halls in the land.
Altogether there are about a hundred
tons of chewing gum manufactured in
this country yearly for home use. No
perceptible evil has grown out of the
increased consumption. If it allays
thirst it is good thing.
One can enjoy it when he can't do
anything else, and it gives person the
appearance of calm reflection as impress
i've as that of a three-year-old steer on
the sunny side of straw stack in Janu-
ary. 1t is estimated that the gum crop
of the United States, if exclusively put
to that use, would pay off the national
debt in fifty years, if the public credit
ors would only choose to accept it as
legal tender.

CHINESE AcRoBATs IN SAN FRAN
CISCO.

An article in the San Francisco eau
says:
The Chinese tumblers lately intro
duced into the Jackson street Chinese
Academy of Music are, indeed, ,marvels
in the line. A number Of athletic Mon
golians appear, stripped to the waist,
and begin sort Of combat on the
stage. At first the fighting appears
to be promiscuous, but six or eight
finally ally themselves against one
man, and try to overcome him by
springing against him and striking
him full in the breast with the soles
of their feet.
He meets this curious mode Of attack
by standing like statue, while the
others fall heavily upon the floor. A
number Of tables are next brought out
and piled 'one above another, until q
height of about twenty feet is attained.
A performer, whose weight is not less
than $50 pounds, mounts them, and,
springing into the air toward the floor
and the stage, strikes both feet with a
heavy thud upon the bare breast of
man standing about ten feet from the
foot of the tables, throwing him vio-
lently to the floor. How man can
sustain such a blow is a mystery.
Again the agile acrobat ascends to
the top tlble, and, springing upward,
turns somersault, while all the tables,
except the lower one, are suddenly
taken away. Upon the only table
left he falls with force apparently
great enough to break every bone in
his body; but he leaps up again i'm
mediately and turns back handsprings
across the stage.
Again he climbs to the top Of the
tower Of tables, while a second lies
down upon table, few feet from
the base of the tower. Turning a
somersault in mid air, he falls upon
the other body, the two breast to
breast, and bounds off again with a
second somersault. Other acrobats
climbed to various attitudes, and fell
upon the stage, ,alighting squarely up
on their backs with force that is as
tonishing.
These feats are all executed by men
In a semi-nude condition, 80 that there
is no chance for padding their clothes,
The manager informed the CAL re-
porter that the tumblers were trained
from childhood, and became habitu
ated to the terrible conclusions only
by years of practice. He added thai
many were killed in training, OF

DURING their sessions at Columbus last
week the Grangers occupied the State
Senate Chamber, which it seems is fire.
quently used for the meetings of outside
bodies, contrary to the statute and rules
of the Legislature. The officer whose
special duty it is to sweep out the State
house and keep the halls clean, however,
complain that the Changers abused the
privilege, and left the Chamber in such Il
condition as to excite his undisguised in
dignation. He charges that the repre-
sentative farmers left traces of their Wig
orous efforts as tobacco chewers on the
marble floors; that they pasted the walls
and cabinets over with posters and liter
ally covered the marble edges OF
the Clerks desk with pencil-marks.
There may be some grounds for this COM
plant, but it will be difficult to con
vince the honest farmers thoughout the
State that their representative men are
less cleanly in their habits, or that they
conduct themselves with less dignity
than the wise Solons who congregate in
that same hall every winter. The far
mer is plain and unostentatious person
but it can not be claimed that he is not {

not know how to behave himself eithe

ALL ABOUT CHEWING GUM.

The permanent prosperity of a COM
munity does not depend 50 much upon
the quantity of any one thing it is able
to produce as it does upon the variety of
its products. Every new industry is
therefore a new spoke in the wheel of
fortune. There was time, for instance,
when Chicago depended almost solely
upon a perennial crop of mortgages.
When the soil became exhausted she in
cremated herself and took new start
in life. She now relies upon pork, wheat
and John A. Logan. Should the measles
attack the first, the weevil the second
and conscientious scruples the latter sim
ultaneously, Chicago would have another
setback like that experienced when her
bonds and mortgages found no longer a
resting place in foreign markets. In that
event what would Chicago do? Cincin-
natl is more happily situated. In case Of
a decadence in any one of her command
ing interests-of pork, leather, furniture,
Theodore Thomas, or the public fountain
she can always fall back on her South
ern Railroad and settle down, like the
Khedive of Egypt, with the certainty
that for the next three generations she is
provided with about all the business she
will want to attend to in financial way
But these philanthropical reflections
are only Introductory to statement a'
to a new source of wealth to the United
States, or at least one about which little
is known, and one which any city car
