Death OF the Western Dry Goods King,
John ShiIlftO,

The Cincinnati Commercial of September II,
contains the following: The community, after
a day of festiyity, was startled and saddened
last evening by the intelligence of the sudden
demise of Cincinnati's famous merchant, Mr..
John Shillito, the chief of the great Western
dry goods palace of John Shillito & Co. His
death occurred at his beautiful Mt. Auburn
villa, about haIf-past 6 o'clock, and its an
nouncement spread with rapidity among people
ofall classes. His name has, for years, been a
household word in the lofty as well as humble
spheres of life, and the intelligence of the death
of the man who, for fifty years, has been so
closely identified with our business and indus
trial interests, was, therefore, impressive to
every person who heard of it, and it will be re-
ceived with deep regret not only in business
circles here, but throughout the county, for his
reputation as a business man of rare solidity,
energy and enterprise, and as a wise financial
manager, is not merely confined to the city and
the West, but is a national character.
The root of the illness which terminated in
Mr.. Shillito's death was the contraction of a
severe cold about four years ago, and of which
he was unable to rid himself. The cold at
tackled tie bronchial tubes and the immediate
cause Of his demise was, we understand, the
bursting of one of the blood vessels. He had
been suffering for two weeks, and, although
taking a drive almost daily, he had not been at
the business place during that period. Up to
within minute of his death he was conversing
with his wife and sons, calmly and in peaceful
possession of his faculties. His son Wallace
arrived yesterday from New York, and had
during the afternoon a long and satisfactory
business talk with his father. His daughter,
Mrs. Rogers, had been sent for owing to his
illness, but was an hour too late to see him
alive. He was thought quite ill three days ago,
but yesterday thought himself much better.
There was no change for the worse until he was
seized with a paroxysm of coughing, ruptured
an artery in his chest, and then, sitting in an
easy chair, with a word to his wife, he died
without a groan or %struggle--a calm andpeace,
full death. DR.. Bradford was his attending
physician.

A Great Discoveryin Bridge Building.

@We have made one great discovery,
which every railroad or bridge builder
in the West ought to know about" said
the engineer. "What is 1T" I asked.
"Well we used to try to drive the piles,
but we discovered that we could sink
them better by ~hydraulice. That is, we
now place a steel hose on the lower end
of the pile, then start the engine, and
the stream of water tears up the sand
and gravel, and the pile drops of its own
weight fifteen feet into the ground.
Once there, nothing can novel it. Now,
this is the way to place piles in the
lakes and rivers out West. Why, with
this discovery I a bridge a river as
cheaply as I can make the same distance
of elevated railroad. No more suspen-
sion bridges, except over high streams,
after this; no more Howe-truss bridges,
either. Why I can bridge the Miss
issippi for 100000 with o bridge that
will look like piece OF iron lace hanging
in the air. N York Correspondence

A Child Murderer.

One day last week two children,
about 8 years of age, a boy and a girl,
became involved in a quarrel on n of
Judge Corker's places, when the girl
whipped the boy. The latter, not salts
fed with the turn affairs had taken, re-
paired to a closet in the room where
a pistol was kept, and, taking the
weapon, fred upon the girl, the ball
taking effect in her left eye, producing
death in about two hours. The Coro-
ner's jury rendered a verdict of man
slaughter but on account of the youth
fulness of the party no arrest was
made aynesboro (Ga.) Herald

Origin Of Lawn Tennis.

This game. which il played at a
season when the world appears at its
best, combines a most perfect exercise
for all thu muscles with q singular
charm for girls as well as boys, for men
and for women. Tennis is very old
game, for Galen-an old Greek medical
gentleman-has written of it to the eff
feet that it was In his time o healthy
exercise and quite nice.
ALI of us, who enjoy playing ball
games, would like to know who had
wit enough to invent them. Herodotus
thinks they were first played by the
Lydians, in the reign Of King Atyx,
many years before Christ was born,
in order to make the people forget
their hunger at a time when they
were suffering from a dreadful famine.
The game does not seem to have that
effect now.
Tennis, as it is now played in the
tennis courts Of England, France and
Italy, was perfected and played, sub
stantially as now, 200 or 300 years ago.
1t has been called both the king of
Games and the @Game of Kings" This
last name was given it because it was a
fayorite amusement with Princes and
mobiles, and both in England and France
edicts were published forbidding the
common people to play it. Henri II. is
considered to have been the best tennis
player of all the French Kings. Henri
of Navarro rose at daylight, after the
cruel massacre of st. Bartholomew, to
continue a game of tennis. Henry
Will, of England, was p~assionately
fond of it until he became too stout, and
you may think it would have been bet
ter for him if he had kept up his inter
est in it and given less attention to mat
rimony. Edward Halle, the historian,
who probably never went to a spelling
school, says of him: @The Kynge thys
TYNE was moche entysed to playe at
tennes and at dice, which appetite GER
tayn cratic persones about hymn per
ceyuinge, brought in Frenchmen and
Lombardes to make wagers with hym
and. SO lost much money; but when he
perceyued their cratic, he eschuyd their
compaignie"-which was a very proper
thing for him to do.
Tennis was originally, and still is
played in halls, or courts, built for the
purpose at great cost; but the more
modern game of lawn tennis, which il
now rapidly becoming popular in THU
country, can be arranged for a compare
lively small cost. Dealers will supply
a very good set for $15, which will fur
nish amusement for club of ten or ff
teen persons during several seasons
More expensive and much better set
can, of course, be had, and it may b
said of this, as of most other out-of
door sports, that the enjoyment il
somewhat in proportion to the excel
lence of the materials. The only ma
terial absolutely necessary, however, t.
enable four persons to play an enjoy
able game, are four racquets, IN India
rubber ball, and a cord suspended be
tween two posts. These can be had, o
very good quality, for but little NOR,
than half the cost of a " set."7W. II
