A STATE FAIR DEsCRIBED.-When the
gates of the state fair were thrown open
yesterday morning, man who was built
on the plumb-line principle, and whose
hat would have attracted the curiosity of a
crowd mile and a half away, was stop
ped because he had no ticket.
He indulged in some rather loud talk,
and was taken in hand by a policeman
and led to one side.
Let us now come to an understanding"
he said, as he cooled off. is this state
fair"
"Yes, sir"
"Is there circus attached?"
"No, sir"
Will the president be here to-dayP"
Not that | know Of"
"Is the man with the prize packages
on hand in here?"
He is not"
,, g Is there any chance for me to secure q
position as special detectivep"
"No, sir"
This, then, is an ordinary state fair,
composed of machinery, live stock, bed
quilts, roosters, windmills, yeast cakes
new cheeses and the man who has had
his pocket pcked?"
Yes, about that"
Then, sir, | beg your pardon for my
rash and ungentlemanly conduct, and
bid you good day. If had understood
matters in the first place l should have
spared the public this scene. Tata sir.
and if we should ever meet again you'll

CATCHING FRoGs.-The Chinese have a
curious way of catching frogs, which
they-as well as many other peoPle-like
to eat They catch them with their own
children in this way: First procuring a
young and tender frog, just getting out of
his tadpole days, and at the age when he
is very lively, they tie around his waist
the end of tish-line, and bob him up
and down in the grass and among the rice
where the sedate old frogs like to hide.
One would suppose the grown-up frogs
would be pleased to see the young ones
having lively time, but so far from that.
no sooner does one catch sight of the
young sprawler than he pounces on hin
and swallows him, and swallows him
whole the monster! But he gets wei
paid for he is instantly hauled up into the
frog fishers basket. and his still alive
mouthful taken away from him, to be
used again on another old frog.

BOILING WATER IN A SHEEL OF PAPER.

BOILING WATER IN A SHEEL OF PAPER.
-Nata1re is publishing series of attractive
articles on "Physics without Apparatus.
In the latest number are given expert
ments for boiling water and melting lead
on q piece of paper: Take piece of paper
and fold it up, as school boys do, into a
square box without lid. Hang this up
to II walking stick by four threads, and
support the stick upon books or other
convenient props. Then lamp or taper
must be placed under this dainty caul-
dron In few minutes the water will boil.
The only fear is lest the threads should
catch fire and let the water spill into the
lamp and over the table. The flame must
therefore not be too large. The paper
does not burn, because it is wet; and even
if it resisted the wet it still would moi
burn through, because the heat impaired
to it on one side by the flames would be
very rapidly conducted away by the
water on the other. Another experiment
of a similar nature, but perhaps even
more striking, is as follows: Twist W
the edges of common playing card oil
other bit of card board, so as to fashion
it into light tray. On this tray place
layer of small shots or bits Of lead
and heat it, over the flame of a lamp
The lead will melt, but the card will no
burn. 1t may be charred little round the
edges, but Immediately below the lead i
will not be burned, for here again tn,
lead conducts off the heat on one side a
fast as it is supplied on the other.

A MARKET STREET RUNAWAY.


A FLYING HORSE CREATES A sEEsA-
TIoN FROM NINTH TO SECOND
STREETS.
Farmer Russell, of Kennett Square,
Pa, was jogging quietly down Market
street at 2 o'clock, this afternoon,
when, just below Ninth street, his
horse took fright and run away. When
opposite the Masonic Temple, Mr..
Russell was thrown violently out, and
his head coming in contact with the
curbstone, n severe cut was inflicted.
The horse, meanwhile, kept on
down Market street, and dashing from
one side of the street to the other Gre
ated CONSERVATION among the teams
standing along the curbstone. He col
lided with several, but beyond few
bent springs no accident was thereby
occasioned.
At Second street the runaway horse
was stopped by a aman named Brown,
but by this time he had broken his bar-
ness all 10 pieces, while one shaft OF
the dearburn TO which he was attached
was also broken.
Mr.. Russell, the owner of the team,
after being thrown out, was carried into
the saloon Of Gus. Beers, where his cut
head was dressed His injury is quite
severe, but not dangerous.

An Independent View Of the
Question of Change.

Question OF Change.
From the N. Y. Truth, Qnd0 Aug. Is. 1880.
The Republican party, in this
campaign relies upon the sell
assurance that the country is pros
porous, and the people want no
change. The present admlnistra--
tion is pointed to as model, and
the inference is drawn that Repub-
lican successor will equal, if not sur
pass it, in honesty and attendant
prosperity. O.
But Mr.. Hayes will retire from
the head of the government next
Mtrch. Then what?
Were the Republicans to give us
such another President as he, the
people might be content to leave
them in power. But the man they
propose is not the same. In the
place of Hayes they offer one who,
to escape the political and socia!
penalty of bribery, took refuge in
perjury; one whom his own party
organs and party associates have
stigmatized as corrupt; one who has
been surrounded with venality in
public places, and has not escaped
its taint. Hayes is pure; Garfield
is not.
A change must come. The term
of the present administration is
about TO expire, and another must
soon succeed it. The succession oil
Hancock will be less of change
than that of Garfield. The former
will continue the purity that has
characterized Hayes administration
the latter, from The very nature OF
his being, cannot. He has already
left his mark upon the history of the
country, and it is inconsistent with
any presumption that his admins
tration would be free from the moral
odors which steam up from his past
career.
The possible fear-a t,ar manu-
factured by the politicians rather
than one coming spontaneously from
the people-that under Hancock
public offices would overflow with
old rebels is less likely to be real
lied in the event of Hancock's elec-
ton than that Of Garfield.
The South would receive less OF
Hancock than they would OF Gar
field. Garfield would be ready, il
necessary to his purpose, to make
bargains with the South, such as he
made four years ago, at which Han
cock would shudder. Indeed, Tho
only possible chance the old rebe
element has of getting a control il
the administration Of the govern
ment, is through bargains they max,
with the Republicans to kill OIL Han
cock for a consideration. There i
far more danger of Southern inhuenc,
in national affairs through trade
with Republicans than through tn
legitimate election OF General Han
cock.
When Grant was a candidate 70
nomination, some of these Republi
cans taking up the threadbare cry @
the Sun, thought his selection woul
be step onward toward empire, bC
cause he had already held two terms
And yet, as General Butler says
they are perfectly willing to Civ
the Republican party six terms-col
secutive terms, too. If it is perm
cious to have one man repeated
elected to an office, then to have
party repeatedly successful must b
as much more pernicious, as part
is more powerful than an individua
The administration of HanCoC
would be as honest as that of IlayC
has been, and if emergencies aro'
Hancock would be much more COZ
petent to deal with them.
