The Aquarium is again opened,
after briet suspension OF perform
ances, With new attractions. An
excellent double-trapeze act is done
by Miss Geraldine AMI Mons. Leo
pold, after which is introduced the
sensation of the pcrformance-the
shooting of the young woman out
of a cannon's mouth. Thus is given
a literal exemplitication OF what it
is to be "fred out" The cannon
seems to he made of wood and is
mounted after the manner of NOR.
tar. 1t etands III front of the stage,
pointing at an angle of abont thirty
five or forty degrees, between the
npturncd faces of the spectators and
the raiters overhead.
At the close of her trapczc act,
Miss Geraldine comes down Ii Q
rope head foremost by twining one
leg arohhd it and with her olsen
gagged toe describing an Archime-
dean spiral. She is then assisted
to the raised muzzle of the cannon,
into the bore of which che slips,
feet first, lying on her back. Her
head and neck are just visible when
the gun is charged. Then she gives
the word, the report of the cannon
is heard, and sic flies towards the
spectators, going some twenty-five
or thirty feet in IA straight line be-
fore she drops to the net spread TO
catch her, When she again steps
upon the stage and smiles her ac-
acknowledgement OF the applause, her
bright garments are not at all black
ened by powdcr-a fact which is
doubtless due 20 the interior me
chapism OF the cannon. This act
and the performance by the trained
horses are to be tho attractions at
the Aquarium for season.
THE YEARS TOBACCO SALES IN
DANvILLE The fiscal year in the
leaf tobacco trade in Danville en-
, ded on the 3Cth of September, and
we ascertain from the reports made
at the end Of each month that the
total amount of leaf tobacco sold
in the maaket during the twelve
months was 26,727,282 pounds
| The average price was So Il a
hundred, SO that the total amount
of money paid ont for this tobacco
was S2,347, 7,203.99.
In the fiscal year ending the 20th
September, 1877. the sales amour.
!, ted to 16,426. 296 pounds, which
brought $2,O33,977. or an average
of $l2.38 huudred.
Thus it will be seen that the in
crease of business in the year just
!, closed, as compared with the 5usi.
ness of the year next preceding
was very large iE the quantity o.
tobacco sold, being over 10000, ,1O(
pounds, while the average price
;. paid being smaller, the increase il
money value was not SO great
Still the salee OF last year amount
ed to 100000 more than did those

RUN DOWN OFF STATEN ISLAND.
Osrs.en ueeeverirs Damages nrcn . New
York Steamboat Company.

The New York Harbor Towboat Company
was sued by John A. Eustis and w. II. Downs.
the oarsmen. for running them down while they
were rowing in skin OF Staten Island. The
case was tried before Judge Sheridan this week.
Eustls is q lawyer. and at the same time ono
OF the best scullers in the country In 1874 no
was stroke OF the Wesleyan crew in the inter-
university race at Saratoga. He IL now the
stroke Of the Atalanta four and pair. Recently
he md downs won tho honors ut a regatta on
the Harlem.
On the 18th OF October OF last year tho two
rowed race on the Kill Won Kull against pair
representing tho Dauntlcss Boat Club Among
the steamers that we're hired to carry spectators
to the place was the Peter Crary.a vessel belong
ing to the defendants. the IIarbor Towhoat
Company As Eustis and Downs were rowing
back from the race the Crary followed them
closely. and behind the Crary were hall dozen
other steamers, The oarsmcn in their fraii
shell began to fear that they might be swamped
in the swell created by the rapidly approaching
Island shore. where thoy would have been safe.
TO do this II was ne'essary to row across the
Sw 81 srek 6e ho sie ne w%s
and the oarsmen. leaping overheard. were
sucked under the steamboat, and Downs's life
was impcrilled. He was gasbcd in the hcad by
ono. OF the paddle wheels. The damage to the
shell was sixty dollars. suit was instituted by
each each OF tho oarsmep for y 900 % how
far tho shell was ahead Of the Crnry at the time
the attempt was made TO cross the lnttcr's bows.
Eustis and Downs said the distance was over
800 feet and that they would have had plenty Of
time to cross had the Crary altered hcr course u
little or slowed up; but the steamboat kept
straight on. and ran down the very boat 1t had
come out To see.
The officers Of the Crary testified. on the con-
trary. that the shell was almost beside the
steamer that II was stcercd across their bow
suddenly without warning. and foolishly. and
that they made all possible efforts to stop but
thHt the interval and time were too short.
Mr.. Blake, the referee numerous harbor md
Sandy Hook pilots. and other experts were
called as witnesses in relation to the right OF
way possessed 10y steamers and rOwhOats In
respect 10 each other. Some said that the row.
boats must keep out OF tho way ot steamers.
and others that stcnmers must Keep out of the
way OF rOwboats. One venerable pilot who had
been thirty years in service. said that. in his
opinion, rowboats must look out forthomselvcs,
and IL they are not smart enough 10 get out OF
the way steamers and sailing vessels have the
right 10 run them down.
The jury gave Eustis and Downs each $3.50
and allowed s6j additional for the damage to
the shell

A PARABLE.-Onc there was q mule
1t had a pair Of timber legs with heels on
the end of them. Mule thought his master
did not gave him enough to cat. So one
day as the boss was passing behind him he
lifted up his heels and boosted him to the
other side of the barn. This is what Mr..
Mule calls strike. Eo thought he could
get all the corn he wanted now. Presently
wanted water" He didn't get it though
He wanted corn. He didn't get that. He
went to bed that night without his suppcr.
Next day he didn't have to work; he didt't
have to eat, Gather. All he had to do was to
stand and think. He couldn't imagine wbv
that master of his didn't como to feed him.
The next day was the same, and the next.
Before that mule got anything to cat again
he had grown so gaunt and gentle that he
W; was willing to keep his heels on the ground
The strike had ended.

LAPS AT PIc-NICs.-The lap is unqucs-
tionably most useful and admirable organ
When expanded, the lap will admirably
hold fifteen quarts of chestnuts, peaches, ap-
pies or other desirable fruit, and there have
been women whose laps would hold the en-
tire supply of hair pins required for their
back hair-though, of course, laps ofthcsc
enormous dimensions are somewhat rare. 1t
is, however, at pic-nics and tea parties that
the splendid capabilities of the female lap
are especially displayed. 1t is an easy mat
ter for lady, while engaged on a pier
to hold plate Of salad, another of picked
oysters, third of ice cream and a fourth of
cake, together with cup Of coffee, on hor
lap at one and the same time. In fcats of
this kind the female lap is unique. The
young man who tries to hold food on his
knocs invariably CONES to grief. The ut
most he car hope 10 do is to balance for a
brief period plate of salad on the ridge of
his legs, from which it sooner or later slips,
with the most painful consequences. AS
for holding tca-cup or coffec-cup on his
knees, he recognizes the impossiblity of the
thing His only resource is to deposit it on
the floor, or on the grass close by his side, af-
Ter Wnlcn nc usually steps on IL, OF aI lcaSt
kicks it over. This indicates in the clear
est manner that man is not pic-nickirg an
imal Without laps, pic-nics are danger
there is no way in which art can remedy
the masculine deficiency of lap. Let wo-
men go to pic MICS ic they choose. They can
do SO without violence to their clothing
but man is trying in the face of nature
when he undertakes to sit on the grass and
to manage six different kinds of food. 1t
is true, that pic-nics consisting of women
alone would not be popular. Young men
arc needed both to eat the legs of chickens
and to 60 mile and half in the sun to
bring water for the lemonade.-N y.
