Made a Mistake.

Afarmer, as the story runs, who wished to halter fractious horse running at large in a field, thought to deceive the animal and accomplish his purpose of stratagem. So he tied the end of the halter secretly around his body, and then hiding it behind him, and bearing bountiful supply of oats in his hand approached the beast with cautious steps, Finally, getting near enough to pat the horse on the neck, he soothed him few moments, and then, suddenly producing the halter, clapped it over his head and secured it in 8 moment. As soon as the horse discovered that he had been tr1cked he started on wild run, dragging the farmer over stones and through brambles until he was nearly killed. Having been rescued and restored to consciousness, the farmer said "The horse hadn't run fifty yards before I saw where I had made mistake"

Bad for the Baker.

When Turkish baker is discovered to have sold bread of short weight his ear is nailed fast to his door post, and he is then benevolently snppl1ed with a sharp knife, to work, when he is tired of his fixed position, his own deIiverance. How nany English bakers would walk about with only one ear A few days ago one Randy, baker, of 5 Chapel Place, London, was summoned for an assault, and charged with having sold loaf three ounces light of weight. On ex- amining the seals, which were at the fur ther end of the shop, witness found an ounce weight sunk in the bottom of the scales, surrounded by a quantity of crumbs, which she took out and showed the defendant, who violently pushed her away, and struck her. Randy denied the charge The scales. he said, had been out of order, and he had been in the habit of regulating it with a weight. The magistrate, however, fined Randy e3, and expenses for assault, and particularly recommended the atten- tion of the inspector ot weights and measures to Bandy's balance.

The Legal Tenders.

The following is the bill prohibiting the further retirement of legal tender notes as passed the Senate, it being in exactly the same form as when it came from the House
 Be it enacted, etc., That from and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful for the Secretary of the Treasury, or other officer under him, to cancel or retire any more of the United States legal tender notes. And when any of said notes may be redeemed or be re- any source whatever, and shall belong to the United States, they shall not be retired, can celled, or destroyed, but they shall be reissued and paid out again, and kept in circulation. Provided, that nothing herein shall prohibit the cancellation and destruction of mutilated notes and the issue of other notes of like de- nomination in their stead. as now provided by law. All acts and parts of acts in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
 Secretary Sherman, a Washington dis patch says, has decided to construe lib orally the bill prohibiting the further contraction of legal tender notes. MT. Fort, who is the author of the bill, tele- graphed to Treasurer Gillian asking him how many dollars were ready to be retired from circulation under the opera tion of the Resumption Act. He replied, $1, ,6O6, ,096. MT. Fort subsequently, visited the Treasury Department and learned from Secretary Sherman that al- though these notes had been prepared for destruction, and had already been punched, an equal amount of new notes will be issued at the same time so that the outstanding circulation will not be reduced during the present month. The notes have been cancelled. If the Sen ate had posponed action upon this bill two or three days longer the outstand- ing legal tenders would have been re- duced by more than a million dollars on the 1st of June.

Fearful Death in a We'll.

The accident by the caving in of a well at Hochlega, Canada, says Mon treal paper, turns out to have been a terrible affair. Eight men were work ing in the well, two of whom were buried. Luc Dion was undermost, and was covered with the scaffolding, while above him Marcisse Deiardius was caught between two boards, which held him fast by the feet. Louis Lafontaine and the others were only slightly cov- cred, and were extricated without diff culty. In the meantime Dion had been confined in living tomb, with the water in the we'll slowly rising about h1m. After four hours exertion Deiardius was res- cued with both legs broken and other wise badly injured. The working party could hear Dion shout, Hurry up the water is rising fast P "Hurry up, or I will ba drowned p But the blue clay and quicksand filled up the space al- most as soon as 1t had been cleared by the workmen, and. notwithstanding their exertion, Dion's cries became fainter and fainter, until they were heard no more. It was not until after 20 hours of con- stant exertion that his body was reached. When found it had scarcely mark upon it, and the terribly distorted muscles, and mud and water mixture, told of the struggle he made to escape from hor- rible death. It is believed Dejardius may recover, although the shock is 8 severe one. Lafontaine and two others are injured slightly.

&-z- The Wisconsin Tornado.

The tornado which visited Wisconsin, doing so serious damage, first struck the ground at Belmont, La Fayette County, at o'clock P. M., and passed over Lake Michigan north of Milwaukee at 2 o'clock P. M., making 150 miles almost directly eastward in three hours. The day had been progressively still and warm, and during the passage of the tornado across the State there was no wind blowing except that whirling around the storm centre. The tornado had besides forward motion of fifty miles an hour Gan unusually rapid forward movement for tornado) and its circling motion, of unknown velocity, cycloidal motion, making an undulating path. The actual width of the track of the tor nado was small, being from few yards to two or three hundred, but it's cycloi- dal motion from north to south was nearly six miles, and the cycles were completed in about every six miles of forward motion. From this it will be seen that the tornado must have moved over the country at rate of speed of more than one hundred miles an hour in addition to its revolving motion, which waS doubtless far greater. The tornado was in the form of an inverted cone of gigantic size, with it's point rest ing on the ground, although this was not always true fortunately for those in the course of the monster, very much of the time the cone point was raised above the earth from one hundred to one thousand feet. In this manner it passed over several miles at a time and thus were many farmers spared from ruin. In these instances the country over which the tornado passed was treated to 8 frightful shower of wood splinters, branches of trees and dead annals
 Whether on the earth or suspended hun dreds of feet above, this whirling cone held in its embrace countless millions of fragments of buildings, trees, straw, hay, cattle, sheep and swine, thus afford ing it's observer view terribly grand. Numerous stumps of trees are left in the track of the tornado with all the bark peeled of. Two oak posts eight feet long, sunk six feet in the ground to support the uprights of a windmill oyer 8 well, and upon winch posts the wind could have no grasp ex- cept upon the two feat above the earth, were lifted out and carried away without disturbing the surrounding earth. Trees were lifted up and carried mile with tons of earth adhering to the mass of roots. Horses, cattle, sheep and swine seemed to float as lightly m the air as the leaves of the forest. The loss of human life, so far as known, is about fifty. More than two hundred persons are more or less injured. The loss of property is very great, but no estimate can be given with any degree of accu- racy at present, but it is sure to be nearly $2, 100000.

A Tramp's Game.

Three tramps entered saloon and called for drinks. After drinking, one of the trio acted as though the liquor had suddenly made him insane. He stripped himself of his garments, and rushing to water trough in front of the building. plunged into it, and seemed determined to drown himself. The saloon keeper, not at all relishing the idea of mans using his horse trough as ferry across the Styx, more espe- cially as the quality of his whiskey might be spoken of derogat1vely in con nection with the matter, ran out and made determined effort to prevent the suicide. The other two men assisted, and after while the insane individual permitted himself to be removed from the trough, carefully rubbed down and dressed, and he and his companions then went on their way. A few minutes later the saloon keeper discovered that his till had been robbed by one of the other men, while he was struggling with the would-be suicide, of it's entire contents. about $6.50.

A Mammoth Cave.

A new mammoth cave has been dis covered in Wyoming Territory. A fort night ago dozen herders planted a windlass near the mouth of the cavern on Table Mountain, and man went down with lantern, clinging to rope and spinning around dozen times before he reached the bottom, where passage 100 feet long led to subterranean chambers and vaults of enormous dimensions. The ceiling was fully sixty feet from the floor and was studded with countless stalac- tites of all sizes from few inches to fif- teen feet in length. The floor was cov- cred with cones and stalagmites like in- verted icicles. In many places the stal- actites were joined together, having the appearance of huge hour-glasses, and forming 8 number of pillars from foot to ceiling, adding to the grandeur of the scene.

PeraItO's Great Ride.

At o'clock in the morning Franc cesco Peralto, the Mexican rider, mounted OF 8 fleet horse, dashed away from the judges stand at Fleetwood Park, and began a ride of 3O5 miles, which he hoped to accomplish in 15 hours. He accomplished the task with 27 minutes to spare. Thirty four horses and six mustangs had been provided, as MT. unless forty horses were used. Of these dozen at time were kept in readiness beside the judges stand. Here Carillo, the friend of Peralto, and his rival as 8 rider, saddIed each horse, looking care fully to the girths, and drawing the s5ssch strap with a skill and degree of tight ness only attained by long practice. Pe- ralto changed horses at the end of each mile, sometimes springing from the back of one to that of the other without touch ing the ground, and always changing so quickly that the average time between the stopping of one horse and the start ing of the next was four seconds.
 The first mile was ridden in 22O and the fifth in 2.18. The best time was made on the one hundred and fifty fourth mile, which was covered in 2.10 by a wiry little sorrel mustang, known as Little Tom. Just at the start of the two hundred and second mile vicious horse, in bucking and rearing, fell, throwing Peralto to the track Horse and man were up together, and off in the opposite direction to that in which they had at first started. The three hun dredth mile was completed at 618 o'clock, and the three hundred and fifth in 2.14, at 6.31 o'clock. Peralto rode away to the club house, where he was rubbed and put immediately to bed. He was in good condition though his pulse beat at 140, and he had lost nearly 10 pounds during his tremendous ride.

SPARE THE BIRDs.-A French paper earnestly depreoating birdnesting, says i: "A birds nest contains on an average five eggs, which would, in the natural course, become five little birds. Each little one eats daily fifty flies or other insects, and this consumption extends over four or five weeks. Taking it at an average of thirty days we shall find the number of flies destroyed by each nest of birds to be 7,5O0. Now every fly eats daily quantity of flowers, leaves, etc., equivalent to its weight, until it attains it's maximum of growth in thirty days it will have eaten; "a flower day, afower which would have become fruit Each fly (the term is used we presume for in- sects generally then having, we will say, eaten thirty fruits in thirty days, the T. 500 flies which 8 nest of birds would have consumed, cause loss to us of 225, ,000 apples, pears, apricots and peaches.

The Bank of England "Out."

An old gentleman, white haired, and apparently very respectable, says Truth, walked up to one of the paying-cashiers' desks in the Bank of England, took a chair, mopped his forehead, put his um- brella on another chair, and complained of the heat. He then asked the clerk for check, and begged him to be so good as to fill it up-e2O was enough, he said. He then signed it, and in reply to the question, "How he would have it?" he answered, "In gold" The twenty sovereigns were paid over to him. He put on his hat, buttoned up, and, wishing the cashier a very good after noon, walked slow1 y out. The cheque was signed 'Blower. '' On examina- tion of the signature book it was found that no such man had an account there. The cashier had been in the bank twenty five years. Blower has not yet been seen Ef# k t3

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters defy competi- tion. Of the host of rival tonics that have cropped up during its long career, not one has gained and retained such large share of pub lie favor, though many have enjoyed an ephemeral popularity. The reason is this, that whereas many of these medicines were advertised to perform cures of the most start ling nature, they have, when tested, almost invariably turned out to be of little or no value, while the great inyigorant, whose rep utation they were intended to rival, has never disappointed those who have placed their m M has m n 5hs positive specific remedy for liver complaint, dyspepsia, malarious levers, debility, consti- patton, and numerous other maladies, arising from general weakness and disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels. ,.- 2

AN ACCOMMODATING C1ocK.-T

AN ACCOMMODATING CLOCK. There is clock at Worsley, Lord Ellesmere's seat in England, which at 1 o'clock al- ways strikes 13. The reason is that one day the great English canal maker of the last century, the Duke of Bridge water, to whom the estate belonged, found number of mechanics in his en- ploy idling about after 1, when they ought to have returned to their work. Ina ring the meaning of this he was told that they had not heard the clock strike, it, being much more easy to miss hear ing the single stroke than half dozen or so. The next day the clock struck 13 and has done 50 ever since.
