Not on the Bills.

An accident of a happily unusual
character, which might have been at
tended with serious results, occurred at
the Gobelins theatre, Paris, few nights
since. On of the audience, who was
seated in the upper gallery, happened to
overbalance himself and fell headleng
into the parterre just as many of the
people were leaving the house between
the acts. A scene of indescribable con-
fusion ensued, and those who remained
in the building looked for the involun-
tary author of the incident, expecting to
find him seriously injured, if not
actually dying. Curiously enough
that individual was nowhere to be found,
having quietly disappeared among the
throng who were issuing from the pit.
A shoemaker and young girl who were
Immediately beneath the spot where the
unlucky victim of the force of gravity
alighted were less fortunate, for he
struck against them as he fell and in
flicted some slight injuries.

Who Will Get the Cotton ?

In report of some things said by q
physician just home from Memphis we
find this reference to cotton: "There
are thousands of bales of cotton at pres
ent lying in Memphis in the cutters and
and dirty streets. They are saturated
with yellow and mslarial fever poison
and will take it wherever go. Eighteen
men in the employ of the Iowa Central
who handled them died of yellow fever"
Memphis is too completely demoralized
for the world to expect that any local
authorities there would take steps to
prevent the expectation of that contain
mated cotton; but it certainly never
should come out of that city. 1t should
be burned there and the national board
of health should see that it is. If they
do not we shall certainly hear next sum-
mer of the sudden, unexplained and
mysterious appearance of yellow fever in
some factory town.

About Four Names.

It was circumstance often remarked
upon in the course of the war that there
should be two men prominent on the
opposite sides with names 80 nearly iden.
teal as Jefferson Davis, commander-in-
chief of all the confederate forces. and
and Jefferson O. Davis, military leader
of high rank in the union army. Tt is
probable that the newspaper head lines
announcing the death of Gen. Jefferson
@. Davis in this city on Sunday last gave
a momentary impression to nine. tenths
of their readers that the ex president of
the collapsed confederacy had passed
away. There was in the two armies an
other similarity of names not quite so
well known, but fully as striking-that
of Gen. George B. Mcclellan, of the
union army, and Gen. George B. Nc
Lellan, of the confederates. The last
named gentleman halls from Oktibbeha

The town of Red Rock, Pa, was destroyed
by fire on the evening of the 10th inst, and
over three hundred families rendered home
less. Oil well No. 4 had been cleaned, pre-.
paratory to torpedoing and was left open.
Superintendent Mason passed by with a
lantern and the gas ignited and set fire to
the rig. The well made flow and burning
oil ran down the hill to $50 barrel tank
which caught fire. The fire communicated
with a $4,000 barrel iron tank which was
soon in a blezs and burned steadily until S
o'clock on the morning of the 18th. Rivers
of oil flowed down the valley and through
the main street of Red Rock, burning ell the
business and private houses in the town.

rounding country, and nothing but black.

A Potent Mapiciau.

There was a party in Rockland, one
evening lately, and man from Thomas
ton, who was present for the purpose of
amusing the guests, offered to perform a
sleight-of-hand trick with an egg, as he
had witnessed it at public entertain
ment. The egg was produced by the
hostess. The young man took the fruit
in his hand, and then it suddenly occur
red to him that he had forgotten how the
trick was performed. He stood before
the guests, looking like silent allegory
of misery, until in a fit of anguished
absent mindedness he unconsciously
pressed the egg trife too firmly with
his hand. 1t wasn't young egg by any
means. Ono. 1t was old and staid and
sedate, and SO very powerful that the
company wondered, as they rushed out
of the room and thrust their heads from
the windows for fresh air, how the young
man possibly could have broken a thing
SO strong. They cleaned off the Thomas
ton young man by dragging him over the
grass by his heels.-Rocklond Courier.

Queer Ending of a Rebellion.

The Kashgar revolt in Chinese Tartary is
at an end, Hakim Khan being completely

killed. It seems that Hakim Khan besieged
Tashkourgan with FIVE thousand men, the
Chinese garrison numbering only two thou
sand, but all of Hakim Kahn's Kirghiz
force deserted leaving him with only sixteen
hundred Sarts. With this force and fraught
with vengeance Hakim Khan repaired to
the country of the Kirghiz who had desert
ed his command, which he ravaged and
then started for Russian territory laden with
booty, but the Chinese from Tashkourgan
overto ok him on the 21st of September in
the Kilel Art defle and slew 1000 of his
men.

A Terrific Explosion.

An explosion of three tons of nitro.gly-
cerine and mica powder, on Fox island,
Detroit river, on the 18th, shook and broke
things as if violent earthquake had oc-
Cured. The report of the explosion was
heard forty miles away. At the scene of
the explosion nothing whatever can be
found of the magazine, but in its stead there
is hole sixty feet in diameter, and fifteen
feet deep, with good number of mica pow
der cartridges lying around unexploded.
The shock was felt SO severely at Fletcher,
on the Canada Southern railroad, forty.four
miles away, that people abandoned their
houses in alarm. Fortunately there was
nobody on the island at the time of the ex.

A Dramatic Scene.

At meeting of the Peace commissioners
at Los Pinos agency, Colorado, on the 9Th
inst, Ouray refused to deliver up the In
dams who participated in the Meeker mas
sacre unless they are to be tried in Wash.
ington. He said the Colorado people were
enemies of the Indians, and to deliver ID EN-
up to be tried in that state would be equiva.
lent to surrenderiug them to the hangman.
The scene at this point was dramatic in the
extreme, aud is pictured as follows: emo
one moved or spoke for a few moments, when
Colorow lighted big pipe, the pipe of
peace Each Indian present drew his knife
and laid it on his knees, the question of
peace or war being the one pending. Colo
row passed the pipe to the next man with.
out smoking and it went round. When the
circle was finished, he jumped to bis
feet, Strengthened up to his full
height, pulled his belt around until his
knife sheath was in front, pulled his knife
out, threw it with force on the floor, ,quiv.
ering and ringing. Instantly every Indian
present dropped his hand to his belt and
laid his hand ON his knife OF pistol, the
whites did the same and the two parties
stood fronting and defying each other for
some moments, each waiting for the other
to make forward move. There were but
six white men, while there were 25 Indians
in the room and Ii soldiers in the adjoining
ROOM" Finally Ouray delivered his speech,
in substance, as above
