A Music MASTER FATALLY shot,
Mr.. Emil Seifert, professor of music, who
was shot in Buffalo, N. Y. on Tuesday
last, by Mr.. Russell Dart, on account Of
unwelccme attentions to his daughter,
Miss Linda Dart, is still alive, although
not expected to recover. MIR. Darts chill
dren were among his pupils, and he be-
slowed the most careful training on one of
the daughters, Linda, aged II. A few
weeks ago Seifer.'s wife and two children
went to Europe, and Seifert made his
home chiefly at Mr.. Darts residence. Mrs.
Dart, it is charged, discovered that Seifert
was paying attentions to her daughter,
and on Monday last was ordered to leave
the house. He went away, but returned
in short time while Rev. Mr.. Van Box
kelen, formerly of this city. but now of
Buffalo, was making pastoral call on the
family, and asked to see Miss Dart. Per-
mission was refused, and as he drew from
his breast pocket carving knife, police
officers were sent for and be was removed.
On Tuesday he returned and was met at
the door by Mr.. Dart. Seifert, it is said,
placed his hand in his breast as though to
draw q weapon, whereupOn Mr.. Dart pull
ed out his rsyolyer and fired, the bullet
taking effect in Seifert's abdomen and
causing fatal wound: In the year 1874
Seifsrt was concert master and instruc-
tor on the violin at Peabody Conservatory
of Music, in Baltimore remaining there for
two seasons. He received number of
private pupils, ard at different times gave
concerts at Lehmann's Hall and elsewhere.
He did not. however, remain long here,
and after short stay in several cities, set
tied in Buffalo last fall.

PRESSING HER SUIT WITH A KNIFE
Abram Smedes, aged %, works for G. w.
Owen, near Walden, N. Y. Sarah Will
liams, aged 10, was a servant in the same
house. One day last week Smedes and the
girl was left alone in the house, the rest OF
the family being away on a visit. While
the young man and Miss Williams were
eating supper the latter said:
''Abram, want a husband and you must
marry me-"
Abram laughed. He said that it would
require two to make such bargain. He
thought the girl was joking. But she IN
sisted on pressing her suit. When Smedes
positively refused his consent to become
her husband she grew exceedingly angry.
"You won't marry me? Then you'll
never see the sun rise. ;again - she ex-
claimed. 80. 8. 49,
Smedes went to bed at about O'Clock.
Some time in the night he was awakened.
Miss Williams stood over him. In one
hand she had a lamp and in the other
large butcher knife, which she held as
though in, the. act OF striking. Smedes
sprang up and seized the girl by the wrist.
Fer heavens sake, what do you meant"
he exclaimed. -.
II mean to cut your throat - the girl
replied.
Smedes tried to take the knife from her.
A struggle ensued. IL girl dropped the
lamp. Smedes succeeded in putting her
out OF his room, but she retained the knife.
He closed the doo., but there was no lock
tn it. The girl remain d standing close on
the outside.
'I'll wait till you come OUT" she said.
''I'm bound to kill YOU"
omedes remained the rest OF the night
holding the door, When day broke he
heard the girl 20 down stairs. He then
went stealthily down aud left the house.
The girl was taken into custody and found
to be insane.

THE GRAIN MARKET There has been
a good deal of Speculation recently as to
the outlook of the wheat market, but the
opinion of the sShipping List" that it is
much more promising for farmers and
dealers than it was two months ago, seems
to be well founded. The yield in the Uni
ted States this year will not fall short of
485 900, 600 bushels, of which 800, 1000 600
bushels will be needed for home consump-
ton, while the requirements OF Europe
must be considerably greater than was sup
posed while the harvest Was in progress.
The United Kingdom will need at least
Ia, 900 900 bushels OF foreign-grown wheat
and France 80 ,000, 600 bushels. The crops
of both Germany and Austria are short,
while Russia, as was stated in late dis
patch from the American minister at st.
Petersburg, instead of having any grain to
export, will have to buy from outside to
feed her own population. 1t has been many
years since the cereal crops Of Russia were
SO short that she could not carry on a large
export trade in them. If, as now appears
certain, she is really out of the market as
an exporter of grain for the present year,
thai fact will have so important an inf1u-
ence as to maintain or increase the recent
stiffening of prices. The now ascertained
shortage in the whole European product
runs up to many millions of bushels be-
yond the early figures, and nearly all this
deficiency must be supplied from the UNI
ted States. Last year our exports were
1870. 0GO 900 bushels, and they will in all
probability be quite as large for 1880.
These haJtering prospects convey an as
surance of a brisk business.-Bdltinaor

JERUSALEM is LOOKING UP.---The
streets are to be lighted with gas and a
horse car company is going to run a line
of 'bob-tails' to the top Of the Mount of
Olives. There will be some pretty steep
grades on this route, unless it IS laid out
with long detour either to the north or
the south. Extra tOW-hOrses must be used,
or else the passengers will have to get out
and push. On the down grades the vehi-
cles will be IN danger of similar disasters
to those which recently occurred in Jersey
City and on Staten Island. In one Of these
a car came down on run, and the 9TH
or vehicle tumbled over from precipice
into the vale of woes below. The spectacle
may soon be presented of car rolling
wheels over head down the steep slope from
the graveyard east of the city wall into the
Valley of the Kidron, the driver and pas
sengers vainly running after it with view
of putting on the brakes. The horses in
that section are even worse-looking than
any which serve as motive power for street
cars in this country. The sound CT bell
punch in the highway of rusty old Jerusa-
lem will be as great novelty as party of
householders enjoying their leisure by
lounging in the light of street lamp. The
world moves, and even slow Jerusalem
must bestir herself. Solomon had many
costly novelties to show the Queen of She
ba, but in all his stables there was nothing
like a street car.

EXPLOSION OF A LADIES STOCK Ex-
CHANGE.-Mrs. Howe's financial opera
lions in Boston as banking institution
for women have been initiated in New
York by Mrs. M. E. Warren, who for
some time has been receiving deposits
from credulous females to be invested in
stock speculations, on an agreement for Il
mutual division of profits. She started
the business a year ago, and for long
time paid OUT very large profits, but about
the middle of October she gave notice
that she would pay depositors in full in
sixty days from date, and in future would
do only a strict commission business.
About the LIST instant her Office was closed.
and a notice on the door stated that it
would be reopened on the Sd instant By
that time Mrs. Warren had flown. with
all the valuables she possessed, as we'll as
the deposits remaining in her hands Some
of the ladies confess to losses as high as
$1,000, but many had entrusted her with
$25 and $50, the savings Of those who
worked hard to sustain themselves.

- SPINNING OIL FROM WATER.-Hueh
Potts, living in the Bradford oil region of
Pennsylvania, finding himself out of work
last summer, leased. a piece of ground near
Tarport. The Tuna creek runs through
the property, and as there was more oil
than water in the bed of the creek, he
adopted measures for saving the oil. He
constructed boom across the creek, and
by the time he had made a tank, the oil
stood six inches deep on the top of the
water. He went to work pumping oil in
to the tank by hand, and in three days.
had saved $50 barrels. Since then he has;
filled five tanks, besides selling several hun
dred barrels Of oil. BY his method of:
saving wealth that was running to waste,
he has made $4,000 since he put up his
dam. The boom was carried away by a
freshet, but he has renewed it, and 2O00
barrels have collected in the pool. The COLD
weather having CONCEALED the oil, so thu t
it cannot be pumped, he is about to in5e ct
steam into it, so as to reduce it to paI nm

A TRUNK THAT BAFFLED THE BAG
ENTHUSIASTICALLY elephant figuring
in Kiralfy's spectacular play, Around the
World in Eighty Days, was recently a pas
senger on train for Chicago. He was
placed in the baggage-car, along with the
other trunks, somewhat to the dismay Of
Harry Menges, the baggage-master. who
feared that the trunk of the elephant could
net be managed IN the usual way. The
car becoming too hot, the stove door was
opened, and the elephant foolishly inspec-
ted the glowing Goals with his trunk, be-
fore Harry could interfere, and COM
menced a stampede, throwing things
around like professional baggage-smash-
er. Harry took refuge on the top of a
pile of baggage, in remote corner of the
car, calling Justify for help. The keepers
finally qpieted the brute, and the baggage
master got basin of water to wash his
face and hands, after the fright. While
hunting up piece of soap, the elephant
thrust his trunk into the basin, sucked up
the water, and in moment elected it with
great force over the face and person of the
unfortunate man. Such trunk he never
wishes to have near him again.

ACTRESSES AS COOKs.--Saturday last
the cooks on the steamer Fashion deserted
her, without giving the Captain due no
tice, because of their wages having been
reduced. The boat left Galllpolis with
forty three passengers on board, all of
whom expected to arrive here with empty
stomachs. But, fortunately. among the
passengers we're the Wallace Sisters, who,
upon learning the situation of affairs, at
once volunteered their services in prepar-
ing dinner for this large number of people.
Their services were gladly accepted as
might be expected ,and with the assistance
of some Of the boat employees it is said
meal was prepared that was as thoroughly
enjoyed as the rendition Of one of their
favorite plays. These charming little ia
vorites, with sleeves rolled up and at ear
nest labor in the pantry, must have pre-
sented sight interesting in the extreme
1t was needless TO add, that the persons
who had the pleasure of eating on this oc-
casion will not soon forget their surprise

Long Ago

Long ago, when life was younger, and lifes burden
When the gladness Of existence had a summer
fountain s flow.
Side by side we trOd dim woodland, river bank or
haunted meadow,
Long ago.
Long ago faint odors held us in the purple fields of
Subller in its sweet suggestions than all other
blooms ablow;
Hand in hand we sat together where the clover
heads hung over,
- Long ago.
Long ago in magic distance there silver voices
singing;
And the cow-bels sweetly tinkled where the
COWS came home arrow;
Waisdeep in purple blossoms did we listen to that
ns's' Long ago.
Long ago old joys possessed us with an underlined,
strange yearning;
Loving and beloved, we rocked not, in loves
golden after-gow,
How youth passed us like a dream to the dreamer
unreturning,
Long ago.
Long ago the hand I clasped there had its loving
hanoclasp broken;
And the voices ceased from singing; and the
cOw:beils, faint and low.
Died away as died the echoes of the words that we
had spoken
Long ago
