being three month"; interest on $Sl ,e5e, 600 Of
United States 4 per cent? bonds, was paid
through the CLEARING house in New York city.
This represents an income of ss,45o a day, Of

or nearly A cents per second, sisspihg OF wax

A Human Missile.

Ismalley,s London Letter to the New York Tribune.l
The catapult is simply a platform of
a size to hold a human body. Rubber
springs are concealed beneath and at n
end is a hinge on which the platform
makes a partial revolution. / describe
the thing as / have seen it; complies
tions may exist, but they can't much
affect the principle. The force of the
spring, | was told, had been calculated
to a fraction; it was far safer than the
flying trapeze, or other co~ntrivances
where a momentary failure of the nerve
or presence of mind of the gymnast
would be fatal.
On this platform, raised some twenty
feet above the floor, Zeo places herself,
lying on her back at full length. When
she has adjusted her body to her liking,
with a number of preparatory bitches
and fluctuations, she gives the word to
her assistant by her side, and he pulls q
lever. The springs beneath thrust the
platform and its human freight sud
denly upward as if about to describe a
complete circle. The human part OF
the machine, not being in any way at
tached to the rest of it, does in fact de-
scribe a complete circle, and something
more. The momentum and direction
impaired to the body by the upward
thrust are sufficient to cause it to per
form a somersault in the air during its
progress forward; and the body is ex-
| pected to fall fat into a ne about fifty
feet from its starting point, and some
ten feet lower than the catapult. When
] saw this exploit everything worked
smoothly, and the female missile wa
accurately projected into the net. But
it happened the other afternoon, accu
rate calculations to the contrary not
w~ithstanding, that the missile was flung
through the net and down ten feet on t
the floor. The good-looking youn!
woman who a moment before had beel
smiling at the spectators was a heap o
quivering and apparently ifeless feal
and broken bones. ass $50 &

Dublin is a small village north Of Columbus,
Ohio. 1t has a. very strong anti-whisky ele-
ment, and for some time its two. saloons have
been sorely annoyed by their deeds but the
climax was reached the other day, when, a ID
Westerville, a new saloon that had just started
up, was blown to atoms by an explosion. The
destruction was accomplished by placing q key
ofpower in the cellar. On it was placed a laige
stone, and upon the stone was placed a stout
timber bracing against a heavy joist. The ex-
plosion occurred between four and five in the
morning, and effectively raised the building,
producing a complete wreck, the debris falling
back into the cellar. No one was in the buhd-
inp at the time.

Beaconsneld's BIZ. Words.

L -
Whatever progress Lord Beaconsfeld
may make in wisdom ashe grows older,
h~e.certainly does not improve in symplic-
ity of style. Here is a sentence from
HE Lordship's manifesto concerning Ire
land: "Having attempted and failed
to enfeeble our colonies, by their policy
of decomposition, they may now perhaps
recognize in the disintegration of the
United Kingdom a mode which will not
only ACCOMPLISH, but precipitate their
purpose" Why not say: "Having
failed in the colonies, they hope to
succeed in IrelandT The author of
"Contarini Fleming" evidently thinks
that Ireland is to be saved by a liberal
use of polysyllables. If he could only
work '"valetudinarian" and "ratocina-
ton" and "transubstantiation " into a
speech or State paper the empire would
be safe %foreveri

BLOODY work.

A dispatch from Caddo, 1. T., says: Some
time ago Edmund Thomas was assassinated
near Atoka, in this territory. Thomas friends,
all Indians, armed themselves with long
range rifles, and having discovered Thomas
murderers near Turnbull village, east of here,
attacked them. A regular battle ensued, and
the woodland prairies resounded with rapid
firing. Thomas frieLds shot and killed
four brothers named Ohoate, and another In
iian. The Choats party on their side killed
three of their assailants. Other Indians on
both sides were shot and wounded. 1t is
thought the trouble will not end here, but that
a bloody vendette will result.

A Dangerous Joke that Is t~thifersally

r. EaAa Z
There are some persons in this Thought
less world who are SO found of amuse-
ment that they often take no thought of
the injury they may infict upon others
in obtaining it. An instance of this
sport with-a serious ending has lust
come to light in Patterson, MI, where
Henry Banta has a team of gray horses
that are afraid Of a locomotive whistle.
Hecharges that 1t is a habit of engineers,
when they see him coming, to suddenly
whistle, " Just to make the animals
dance" On Wednesday noun last, when
Mr.. Banta was off his guard, the alleged
Joke was repeated, and now Mr.. Banta
lies at his home seriously injured. His
wagenaisa made-intez kindling wood, and
the value of the herses,is seriously inn
paired. We are sorry to, say we have
noticed similar thought1ess practical
Jokes by engineers on railroads in this
vicinity. The companies ought to make
their f~un-loving engineers understand
that the tcompanyosis responsible in
damages in case of injury resulting
from such Jokes. Mr.. Banta would have
a clear case under New York law, if he
could make. ajuty believe las he prob
ably could easily do) that the engineer
sounded his whistle to startle his team
or even if he was careless of the danger
liable to result to MI. Banta from blow
ing the whistle. It would besa 2i0, 000
Job for any railroad in this State and

closing the door, held it to. Peter shot through
the door, the ball entering in the right breast
of Thomas and lodging under the left shoulder
blade. The doctors pronounce the wound fatal.
