Terrible Scene in a Theatcr.

A terrible scene took place in the
Teatro del Circo at Madrid few DAYS
ago During the performance a m Il.
man forced h IS way into the house,
armed with hatchct and contriyed to
limb from the auditorium upon the
stage, where, brandishiug his weapon
furiously, he amour, ed himself TO the
terrified audience as "the Ayenger of
Man ind. Upon one of the PENDANTS
approaching hin with the object of per-
suading him to withdraw from the stage
he smot' the unfortunate man 10 the
earth with one deadly blow; and he
managed to keep the police of, when
they attempted to arrest him, by whir
ing his Ratchet round his head with such
force and swf ness that none of tie
agents of au hority dared TO rush in
upon him. Presently. however, party
of soldiers made its appearance in he
theater, under the command of an Of
ticer, who Summo ed the raging maniac
to give up his weapon and surrender
himself, but in vain; whereupon the
detachment received orders to fire at
him with bla cartridge, in the hope
OF 1rlgh enlng INN INTO submission. All
this while he was yelling at the top of
his voice, flourish 6 his hatchet, and
threatening to kill any body who should
approach him. Recognising the impos.
siblity of oyerpowering him without
riSking the soldiers lives, the officer in
command gave the ordcr to load with
bal and fire upon him. A minute later
the wretched man lay Il corpse upon the
stage, three bullets having passed
through his head; and, this hlehiy-scn-
sationaI dramatic episode having been
thus brought TO a close, the audience re-
returned to their places, from which
they had fled in terror when the mailman
made his first and last appearance upon
the stage, and the evening performances
were resumed at the point at which they
had been interrupted by Mankind \
Avenger." - London le'eQr0Dh.

Heat on RuiltliDp.St0nr,

The powers of the various kinds Of
building-stone to resist pressure and at.
mosphcrc influences are well known,
but there scarcely ever occurs an exten.
sive fire which does not emphasize the
need of better information us to the
effect of heat upon stone. This need
Hiram A.. Cutting, State Gcologst of
Vermont, has undertaken 70 supply by
a series Of experiments the first result
of which is to confirm and give exact.
ness to the general impression that gran.
lite is poor hcat-rcgistcr, and the second
to show that there is wide choicc-even
in granite in this respect. lie tested
twenty two specimens of the best known
Quarrics, and found that while all were
unaffected by the 500 of heat, damage
usually began at G0O', was serious and
frequent at 500, and at 1000, al the
specimens were ruined, the stone from
Mount Desert standing the ties p rhapa
better than any other. lie gives it rs
his opinion that the effect of water on
heated granite is rather apparent than
real. The Importance of this inforna-
llOll IL very BicdI, CHptCl"lly W w licIS
and insurers. In spite of these hints,
this favorite stone will probably con-
tinue to be used in " fre-proof y build
ings, and possibly without serious dan
ger, if it is only used in very solid walls,
but to use it in buildings supporting
columns, especially within the walls, is
only to invite the quitting of the whole
interior of the building if fire should
break out.

A Success nj Pioneer.

An old Elmirian writes to the 1drer-
tiser from Kansas as follows: | have
been in the West twenty-five years, and
do not know that am any more liable
to be blown up here than the editor of
the Adv'rtiser is in his sanctum have
been in Kansas six years, the grasshopper
year included, and have made enough
during that brief periol here, so that
men who have lived all their lives in
Chemung County, and are now the old
men there, and have delayed and shaved
all their lives among the stumps and
stones for precious living, cannot to
day buy out my last five years accumu-
lations. And can point the editor to
young men, literally within stones
throw of Elmira, who to-day are work
ing hard on the best farms there are
there, and who are barely making a
living from hand to mouth; and who if
they were here, could put themselves on
a basis at once to grow up with the
country, and become thrifty and indie
pendent farmers within the next five
years.

THE classes in Yale College are di-
vided into four divisions, according to
scholarship, and the statistics in regard
to the use of tobacco in the junior class
we're recently taken. Of twenty's in
the lowest division, all but four smoked ;
of twenty-,even in the second, eighteen
smoked; of forty in the first, only ten
smoked Whether this results from the
fact that those who smoke do not like to
study, or that those who study do not
like to smoke, is not entirely clear; but
the effect of smoking on German scho ar
ship is not usually regarded as so
marked as this.

Tom BUFoRD's second trial for the
assassination of Judge Elliott of the
Supreme Court of Kentucky is set for
the 9th day of July next. "Shad,"
who, during the past lew years, has
spent the greater portion Of his time in
the mountains of Kentucky and con-
tributed extensively to metropolitan
journals of the States crimes and crimi-
nails, has made Judge Elliott the central
character in his forthcoming novel, en-
titled 1.-THE Gentleman of Adair; or,
the Science of Delay" Kentucky cele-
brities comprise its dramotis persona, and
it is understood that the undercurrent
of the story will satirise the practical
working of our judicial system.

down his picket line, and encountered
genuine son of the Old Pine Tree State

LONDON Life, so-called society
journal, has taken up Victoria Wood
hull and announces that she is about to
marry a prominent Eaglishman and
become one of the "queen's of society"
The Woodruff manages to get herself
written up very literally in English
papers, beginning with her egregious
sell on the eminently respectable Er
aminer, which gravely announced her
probable choice by the American
people as their next President. A re-
iigious paper, the Christian Union, fol-
lowed with high eulogy of her virtues
as pietist. How the woman secures
such notices is a mystery-but she is
careful to have numerous marked
copies sent to the newspapers OF THU
country.

THE philosopher Of the Cincinnati
Gazette says: Our esteemed contem-
porary, the Commercial, declares that it
is not in favor OF free trade in general,
but is for free tr ,de only in an article
which it uses. But if every one were
in favor of free trade in the article
which he consumes, and for duties on
those only which other people use, the
result would be free trade.
