COMBINATION.


PULLMAN d 1IAMILTON'S GREAT LON
DON SHOW. On Saturday last O novel and
tertaining exhibition, under canvass, was given
in the afternoon and evening, and those who at
tended were almost unanimous in pronouncing it
to be one OF the most pleasing entertainments
that has ever been offered TO the public. At one
O'Clock balloon ascension took place, when Mons.
Gascon went ijgh into the heavens, having for q
seat trapeze bar only, on which no performed
some very daring feats. The exhibition wos nov
el, scientific, and interesting in the highest de-
gree. The optical illusions really wonderful.
Apparently living, solid bodies were transfxed
with swords without injury; figures hoated
through the air or remained suspended in strange
attitudes, and inviting chairs when attempted tc
/ be sat upon, gave support The sprightly
''Siegrist Midgets'' went through series Of aero
batic acts that certainly have never been cqualed
in this place.

a hundred yards from shore, rest on your,
oars and look ove.l the side to find yourself
hanging, like feather in empty space,
with sixty feet Of water below you, trans
parent as the air. Row farther out, and
suddenly the green bottom falls off in a
submarine preciplce, leaving the unfath-

L DisgU Usted Tramp.

! few days ago q tramp, who was spar

conceived brilliant idea for raising the
Mind. He knew she Weels- Fargo stage
would pass along that road in about half
an hour, 50 he took of his coat, tore his
shirt and pockets rolled around in the
dust, aad finally tied himself, with much
d ficulty, to trea. His intention was to
'rllste to the stage1passengers how he had
been foully deals with by highwaymen
bnd have a subscription to repair his losses
aaken up on the spot The stage however,
took short cut by new road that day,
and didn't 60 by at all. After waiting
until dusk, the diaIyusted tramp concluded
to remove his bond $, but, before he got the
first knot loose, a s3rizzly came down out Of
the mountains and picnicked off the grea

Remarkable Convultions of the Earth

The Gazette d Italia recounts a some
what remarkable change in the surface of
the earth at the village of Ortagli, a short
distance southeast ofFlorence. In the course
of few days the tract on which the VIII
lage itands has gradualli sunk, until the
debression amounts to about fifteen feet.
1t has not been sufficiently regular to pre-
vent the houses from making threatening
Emergencies from the perpendicular, and
the population has taken refuge in the
| fields. Strange to say another tract of land
about 200 yards from the village is, on the
contrary, gradually rising, at times nearly
rapid enough to be noticed with the eye.
Several Italian servants are on the ground
studying the strange phenomenon.

On the I'd of this month, while John
Mautz's force Of men (railroa1 carpenters)
were returning to this place, after their
days work was done, they stopped at Skin
ner's Spring, for the purpose of getting
drink of water, and while engaged in
procuring the same, one of them espied
an immense snake, of the copper head
species, whereupon the whole gang ceased
to think of the object for which they had
come, and Immediately turned their atten-
tion to the capture of the snake. After a
great deal of trouble they succeeded in
capturing the same, which measured, in
length, nearly four feet. 1t was brought
to town, and presented to Sam Westall,
who has had it on exhibition in Ben
Whitmer's store for the past week. The
snake draws as much attention as would
a Bengal tiger or a gorilla, fresh from the
wild5 of Africa. Sam says the show
free, and that he has no objections to sh
and explain all the qualities of his Roya
Highness. From appearances, Sam must
be making arrangements preparatory to
starting first-class museum. The snake,
though, is worthy OF notice, being the
largest one seen in this part of the countr,
for many years.

The Dreaded Disease.

yellow fever is amost mysterious and in
many respects an incomprehensibled disease,
The few genera facts that seem 20 have
been learned about it, after close and varied
observation, are not infreqHently contra
dicted by new experience. One Of its
widely supposed peculiariEies is that il
cannot live at certain elevations-2,5O 800
feet above sea-Ievel being sufficient, it is
thought, to exclude it completely. Yet,
long before Cortez invaded Mexico, the
natives of that country suffered terribly
from an epidemic which was, beyond all
rational doubt. identical with what is now
know as yellow fever. This epidemic-it
was called atlazahuMl-prevailed repeat
edly, with great viruleLce and mortality,
during the sixteenth and eighteenth cen
turtles, onithe table lands Of Mexico from
seven thousand two hundred feet above the
sea. If it has ragged at that height, it may
rage at an equal height again, and thus
The e and now universally accepted
th1 c overthrown. It is surprising
how very little is known Of the yellow
fever as 10 its symptoms, consequences,
general course and treatment, for, while 1t
has been recognized about two hundred
years as distinctive disease, it has been a
| fearful scourge, at least since the begin
ming of the fifteenth century. 1t used to
be called the plague, and it is a little less
hideous and destructive than that frightfuI
pestience, now happily confined to the
hot and filthy East.
