Playing IN the Dirt.

A wise man gives mothers this good
advice in the New Haven Register: As
the warm weather comes on it will soon
be timely-and, as the boys say, "Don't
you forget it?' The best plaything
for your children is dirt. This teaching
may not seem orthodox, but it is true,
nevetherless. tits hard to see the clean
dress of the morning wrinkled and be-
mired. Il is hard to see the rosy cheeks
and the dimpled hands, that we dearly
love to kiss, covered with dirt almost
deep enough to plant potatoes. this
is annoying, but it is almost q necessity
to the children's health. The earth is q
good mother. From it we came; upon
It we live; and to it we shall return.
Children naturally love the earth. II
they have no little spade they will inn
provise one from . stick, and dig in the
garden. They viii run their fingers in
the dirt and stir it up, breathing the air
that escapes. It seems to be almost in
instructive with them. Fresh earth IL
their delight, and mud-pies Q luxury.
1t is well TO ,dress your children in the
morning for dirty work. A cheap cali
co 4pron and the oldest pair of shoes
they have should 90 on. II it Is pleas
ant let them play the whole morning in
all the dirt and mud they like. They will
have an immense amount Of fun, and
come in with glistening eyes, rosy cheeks
and bard, firm aesh." W.

A Chinaman Shipped by Express.

Among the articles of a through bill
of lading received yesterday from New
York by Mr.. Peter G. Burum was q
live Chinaman. He is a brother to
Lookum You, the tea-merchant, and
came through all right. A week or two
ago Lookum You called on Mr.. Burum
and said that he had brother in New
York whom he wished to bring South,
but as he could speak neither French
nor English, he did not know how to
manage it. Mr.. Burum got all the par
ticulars from Lookum, and forwarded
them to q merchant in that city, and
also 3 tag directed to himself here. The
house in New York soon found the
heather, and, putting Burum's tag in
his button-hole, put him aboard the
Port Royal steamer, and he arrived on
the train as an article of merchandise.
Lookum met his brother at the freight
depot, and brought him up town and
tenderly cared for him.-ASgmsta (GG.)

SOME experiments have been made
at Brussels in breaking in horses by
means of an electric bride. The appa-
ratus, called the Engstrom bride, after
its inventor, consists simply of couple
of reins, along which run electric wires.
At the end of the reins small electric
battery is attached, which is entirely in
the power of the experimenter. By
pressing little knob the electric cur
rent acts on the corners of the horses
mouth, and after few consecutive or
intermitting shocks the animal becomes
docile. A very intractable mare was
broken in after one experiment with the
bride. The inventor asserts that runa-
way horses can Immediately be brought
to standstill by this apparatus.
A NEW explosive agent has been dis
covered by Prof. Emerson Reynolds in
the laboratory of Trinity College, Dub
lin. 1t is a mixture of Is per cent. of
chlorate of potassium with 25 per cent.
of IA body called sulphurea. 1t is white
powder, which is very easily prepared
by the mixture of the materials in the
above named proportions. The new
powder can be ignited at a rather lower
temperature than ordinary gunpowder,
while the effects it produces are even
more remarkable than those caused by
the usual mixture. 1t has been used with
success in small cannon, but its discov-
erer considered that its chief use would
be for blasting, for shells, for torpedoes,
and for similar purposes. DIR. Reynolds
pointed out that one of the advantages
this powder possesses is that it can be
produced at a moments notice by a
rough mixture of the materials, which
can be stored and carried about without
risk so long as they are separate.

times express not . little curiosity I'm regard TO
d.. R.V. Pierce's original method OF disttn-
gushing all forms of chronic disease without
personal consultation. Some even suppose that
he accompanies this through clairvoyance, or
some other species Of professional jugglery.
All this is utterly false. He claims to deter
mine disease by the rational methods Of science
only. Says Comley, in his Biographical Ency-
clopedia Of New York State, speaking Of this
distinguished physician: " He perceived that
in each Of the natural sciences the investigar
tor proceeds according to system Of signs.
The geologist in his cabinet accurately deter
mines and describes the cleft Of rock, which
he has never seen, from the minute specimen
on his table. And the chemist in his laborato-
~ notes the constituents OF the sun with the
same precision that he anaiyzes q crystal Of
rock salt. The analogous system developed
by DIR. Pierce in Medical Science is worthy Of
his genius, and has made his name justly cele-
brated." For q full explanation of this in

Over Niagara Falls.

The Niagara Falls Gazette says: Two
brothers, John and Patrick Kelley, re-
siding at Chippewa, Ont, visited this
place Monday, crossing the river in Or
binary row-boats, one brother arriving
some time later in the day than the 9TH
er. After the business which they came
over to transact had been dispatched,
the two. men started to return about
haf-past 6 o'clock in the evening. One
of the boats having been taken back to
Chippewa, the two brothers started to
cross the stream together in the remain
ing craft. 1t is known that both the
fated men partook more or less literally
of Intoxicating drinks while in the vii
lage, and in this fact lies the only expla-
nation of their suicidal folly in choosing
the route they did when they. left Port
Day for their Canadian home. For, in
stead of rowing up the river the usual
distance before attempting to cross, the
men pulled directly to Chippewa village.
Two or three men who were at Port
Day when the two men started out noted
the dangerous route they had taken,
but as both the Kelley brothers were
known to be well acquainted with the
river, they naturally supposed that
when they found they could not cross
so low down the stream they would
pull up and cross in one of the
usual tracks. In apparently ut
ter ignorance of the rapidity with
which the treacherous current bore the
boat down the stream the two brothers
pulled steadily on their way. As the
boat was swept lower and lower the at
tention of others on the bank of the river
became attracted to the impending ca
tastrOphe. When the boat, as seen from
this shore, had apparently gotten well
over into the strong Canadian current,
it had drifted far down the river and at
last, when too late, the brothers appear
ed to realize their position. The boat
was headed up the stream, and the men
bent to their oars with desperate energy.
Finding that they were powerless to stem
the current, and having drifted into
close proximity to the first of the terri
BILE reefs at the head of the rapids, the
two men were seen to deliberately turn
their boat around and with steady
strokes pull their craft safely over two of
the reefs. The watchers on this side of
the river then lost sight of both men
and boat, but others on Streets Island,
and in the Loretto Convent, on the Cam
ada shore, say that the boat safely
jumped the third reef, when boat and
men disappeared in the boiling rapids,
and were never seen again.

Miss Beach's Struggle with Robber
for Possession Of Q Pistol.

In Van Buren, Street, Mrs. Maria NJ.
Beach lives with her daughters. On
Wednesday afternoon last she was call
ed to a side door by woman who first
raped, and, after the door had been
opened in response, made several ordi-
nary inquiries. Her presence there sub
sequently proved to be part of plan to
rob the house, for while Mrs. Beach was
engaged in conversation q sneak-thief
had entered the front door and was ran
sacking the parlor; but her eldest
daughter came down stairs and discover
ed him. She fearlessly encountered the
intruder and received a blow in the eyes
which felied her to the floor. The ruff
fan escaped unrecognized.
This proved to be but the prelude to
a still more startling affair yesterday
morning. Miss Beach, who sleeps with
sister younger than herself, was
awakened in the middle of the night.
Listening, she soon became aware that
somebody was crawling on all-fours to-
ward the bed. She made q movement
to get out of bed. As her feet reached
the floor, she was caught by the ankles
and thrown down by the intruder, aman
who had doubtless come in search of
plumber. The girls outcry aroused the
other sister, who jumped up and escap-
ed from the room, screaming at the top
of her voice for help: She ran out doors
and cried out, but could arouse no one
until it was too late to render aid.
Meanwhile the elder sister was strug-
Cling with her assailant in the room.
Her efforts were all in the direction of q
pistol which she had under her pillow,
but which fell on the floor out of her
grasp before she had time to make use
of it. Then a struggle ensued for its
possession, the courageous girl finally
succeeded in clutching it. BY sudden
plunge the would-be thief freed himself
and made precipitate exit, bullet
whizzing in his wake and penetrating
the door. He escaped.-Syracase IN.

Eva's Story.

Have you heard the story of Eva?
She has been the object of great out
pouring of popular sympathy in Paris.
Eva Kleacht is Russian girl, who was
q lion-tamer in circus which has lately
been making the tour of the world.
On the voyage from Bahia TO- the
Mauritius the steamer was wrecked and
most of the company was lost, but Eva
and few others were picked up by an
American sailing ship and taken to New
York. In that city the Russian consul
furnished her transportation to Paris,
where she expected to find employment.
But she sought work in vain, and pre-
ferred, rather than live dishOnorably, to
give herself into the charge of the po-
lice. as q person without visible means
of support. Now, vagrancy is punished
severely in France; Eva was taken at
her word, and was sent to the "Depot, !"
where, after q time, she was transferred
to Saint Lazare, the prison for women.
A journalist who was passing through
the courtyard as she was about enter
ing the prison van was struck with
Eva's proud and noble air, and inquir-
ed her history. It was told him. He
interested himself with other people in
her behalf, and the result was that
Franconi, the director Of the great cir
Gus bearing his name, went to the pris-
on, offered her employment and proper
position, and she was speedily released.
She now appears nightly at the circus
as horse-tamer, for it appears that her
accomplishments are varied. She says
that she does not regret her course in
any manner, and that she would have
suffered long imprisonment rather than
have had any thing but proper recog-
milton from society. Her sturdy indie
pendence has made her quite q heroine.
What q romance might be written con-
corning her life, and how true it is that
truth is stronger than fiction.-Paris

The New York Tones says: The fact
was reported in tho Times yesterday
that q poorly clad woman had died in
an ambulance on Tuesday night while
being conveyed to the City Hospital
from the ladies' waiting groom in the
Fulton Ferry-house, where she had been
seized with an apoplectic fit. It was as
certained yesterday that the woman's
name was Barbara Allen, that she was
supposed to have been very poor, and
resided in q room on the top floor of the
house No. 1@ Madison-street, in this
city. The people from whom she rented
the room knew little about their tenants
history. She told them that she was an
Englishwoman, that she had been
divorced from her husband about eigh-
teen years ago, and that he was captain
of vessel plying between New York
and Liverpool. When found in the
ferry-house she had with her basket
containing scraps of broken meat and
bread, which led to the belief that she
was a'beggar. Yesterday, on searching
the body at the Raymond-street Morgue,
Keeper NcGuire found in the pocket of
an inside dress $15.O7 in money, and a
handbook showing that she had ST.
995. 8S to her credit in the Blocker Street
Savings Bank, the last deposit having
been made on January 1, 1878. Sewed
up in her clothes were found slips OF
paper giving the number of bank-boOks
and the names of banks in which she is
supposed to have money. The banks
are as follows: Seaman's Savings
Bank, Bleecker-Street Savings Bank,
Brooklyn Savings Bank, Broadway Saw
ings Bank, and the Bowery Savings
Bank. The first deposit made in the
Bleeker-Street Savings Bank was in
1861, and no money has since been
drawn out. Coroner Simms ordered a
pOst-mortem examination of the body,
by which it was ascertained that the de-
ceased, who was about seventy-fve years
of age. had died of apoplexy. The
house at which Mrs. Allen last boarded
is the private residence of Mr.. John
Cliff, civil engineer. His wife is a
very charitable woman, and for several
years past she was accustomed to assist
Mrs. Allen in small way. Miss Cliff,
her daughter, said last evening that the
Mrs. Allen was too proud to beg, and
she had never known her to solicit aims,
although she had been accustomed to
receive proffered assistance gratefully.
About two months ago the old lady
came to Mrs. Gift and desired to take
a room, and board there. Mrs. Cliff
granted her the privilege, and Mrs Allen
paid her board regularly. Miss Cliff
said that the deceased had been in the
habit of receiving assistance from St.
Paul's Episcopa! Church. She had
frequently expressed the fear that she
would some day die of apoplexy, and
exacted a promise from Mrs. Cliff that
she ''would not bury her in the Potter's
Field" Her room contains several old
barrels and boxes, which had not been
disturbed last evening. Miss Cliff said
that had her mother known that Mrs.
Allen had SO large sum of money, she
would not have allowed her to wander
around alone in her old age.
