The PantOmime of Death.

Some years ago the performance OF
the pantomime company OF the German
Lehman were the chief attraction of the
Maslinissa, the greatest and most
thoroughly national festival of the Rus
SLAMS, which occurs in the last week of
the carnival. There was a perfect rage
for these pantomimes-ali St. Peters
burg fiocked to see them; and although
they were repeated every two hours, the
temporary theater in which they were
played, upon the Admiralty square, was
continually filled to s~uffocation. During
n of the morning performances, whilst
the pit was in full glee and uproar of
delight, the harlequin suddenly rushed
upon the stage, and exclaimed: Fire!
sauve qui peutH The announcement
was received with a burst of laughter
at what was taken for a stupid Joke.
The Misrepresentation was fatal, tor it
shortened the brief space during which
escape was possible. In a few minutes
the flames burst out from be-
hind the scenes; the wooden build.
ing was in q blaze. The audience,
wild with terror, rushed to the
doors. Unfortunately these opened in.
wards, and the pressure of the frantic
throng closed them rs cffectually as iron
bars and bolts. Exit was impossible.
Outside, a workman. who had assisted
in the building of the theater, stepped
forth from the crowd and called for an
AK, declaring that he knew every
joint of the boards and beams, and
could quickly open q passage for the i'm
prisoned audience. But the bu1schnik,
or policeman, on duty would not permit
this to be done till his superiors came
to decide upon the matter. At last ur-
gent necessity overcame every other
consideration, the punctilious police
agent was pushed aside, severa,
men seized axes and soon a large
opening vas made in the side of the
building. A dense cloud OF smoke made
the crowd recoil, and when it hat
cleared away a horrible spectacle pre-
sented itself. In closely packed masses
sat men. women and children, appar
emily still gazing at the stage, which
was a sheet Of fame. Rescue had com
too late. The sudden smoke, filling til,
crowded building, had stifed the entir
audieace- Not one was saved.

African Pottery.

The following is the usual mode OF
manufacturing African pottery by the
natives near Lake Tanganyika: Enough
ofearth and water for making one pot is
first pounded with a pestle until it forms
a perfectly homogeneous mass; then,
putting it on n fiat stone, it is given n
blow with the fist to form a hollow in
the middle, and worked roughly into
shape with the hands, keeping them
constantly wet. The inger-marks are
then smoothed out with a corn-cob, and
the pot is polished with pieces of gourd
and wood, the gourd giving it the proper
curves, and finally ornamented with n
sharp-pointed stick. After the vessel
has been drying four or five hours in a
shady place, it is sufficiently stiff to he
handled carefully, and a bottom is then
worked in. The time from beginning to
pound the clay till a pot, holding about
three gallons, is put aside to dry, is
thirty-five minutes, and providing ii
with a bottom might take ten minutes
more. The shapes are very graceful
and truly formed, many being like the
amphiheater of ICnIGi.

Diving for Irish.

Every time that q steamer anchors at
Alden numbers of little boys swim
round the vessel, and dive for the coin
pitched to them in the water by the
passengers. Their skill is undoubtedly
great, but the fishermen of the Nicobars,
and a few among the Sea Dyaks of Bor-
neo, are reputed the most skillful swim
mers in the world. The men of the
Nicobars capture fish by the hand.
They glide about in their light skiffs,
intently watching the translucent wa
ter; when they obtain a favorable op-
portunity, they take a sudden dive
straight down upon their 6nny prey.
The fish are generally so startled that
they dart hither and thither, now up
and row down, without continuing
their swift movements in any one given
direction. The diver has therefore lit
tie difficulty in coming within arms
length of them. 1t is, however, es.
teemed to be but a poor feat to seize
and bring up one fish. A mar should
be able to catch simultaneously two
fish-oue in each hand. This is fire.
