A Business that is All Profit.

The New York correspondent of the
Hartford Times writes: "Speaking of
shops that never seem to sell anything
(and there are many which excite won
der as to how the proprietors live and
thrive, and pay rent from year to year,,
close to that way-down-town bird store
is an old stuffed animal, hide, and horn
shop, which have passed at intervals
for years, without ever seeing customer
inside of it. Last week went in there,
under pretence of pricing pair Of
gigantic moose horns (Which should
buy if / could sell them as girders for
the East River Bridge), and this led on
to my asking the German if he ever sold
anything? Veil, zomdings zomdimes" /"
" But do you make any money! 80,
yah, I makes money; idz all provids.' y
This was a revelation, in any business,

The Blunder of O Lifetime.

1t is only great men who make great
blunders. Sometimes they retrieve them,
but occasionally this is beyond their
power. Such was the case with Napo-
leon in his fatal Russian campaign, and
thus it appeared to be the case with Ed
win Booth. At the age of thirty, and
in the midst of degree Of success
such as the theatrical world had never
before witnessed. he projected that play
house which became his ruin. Three
years were spent in its construction.
The locality is admirable, and TIE
building is in all respects perfect 1t
was intended for the highest walk of
the drama, and Edwin Booth became its
manager. Rarely is genius adapted to-
the sober duties of business man.
Booths splendid dream was soon broken
by the vulgar necessities of an empty
treasury. He was, in fact, bankrupt,
before any of his friends imagined the
extent of his losses, and this gave the
world another Booth sensation. The
theater was sold under the hammer,
bringing 100000, which was great
sacrifice. This, however. was the
amount of the mortgage held by Oakes
Ames, whose estate still holds the prop
erty. Booth was so shattered that his
friends feared that his reason might be
affected. His calamities indeed, were of
a crushing nature, since in addition to
his own failure, there was that of his
father in law. who had been estimated
at million. The latter (manager of
the McVickar of Chicago,) had been
distinguished for his success in dramatic
affairs and had accumulated an immense
property, but his fortunes also took an
ill-turn, and he soon followed his gifted
son-in-law into bankruptcy. liza

A Curious Little Animal.
Philadelphia Times.1

Professor Cope's right-hand man, J.
A. Ryder, in ramble through the park
the other day discovered a curious lit
tie thousand-legs-like" animal, with
twelve pairs of feet, which he finds to
possess some extraordinary features
hitherto overlooked. Professor Gervais,
of France; George Newport, of Lon
don, and Professor Wood believed the
animal to belong to the tribe of the
thousand legs, or myriapods, reference
to which, according to a Philadelphia
naturalist, is an error. The animal is,
in fact, neither myriapod nor an in
sect, but stands midway between them.
With the body and general appearance
Of the first it has the legs, feet and head
of the latter, and, to complicate mat
ters suill more, it has peculiarities which
relate it with worms, spiders, mites, and
peculiar animal called peripataa, found
in New Zealand and Africa. It also bears
a strong affinity to the so-calIed bris-
tie and spring tails. 1t lives in loose
dirt, under leaves, and is about one
eighth of an inch long, with a body
about as thick as sewing thread, of q
white color. From the extraordinary
| combination of features presented by
this singular little animal, Mr.. Ryder
thinks he will consider it type of a
new order, under the appropriate name
of Symphyla, meaning that the features
of number of races or families have
been blended together. This discovery
is one of the most important in relation
to the manner of evolution of the in
sects which has been made for many
years, and was almost the result OF an
accident. He has also described a new
species from the park, this being the
| third one known. 7sst

Pneumatic Motors for Street Railroads


For two years company in New York
has been struggling to have system of
pneumatic motors adapted to street
railroads. For various reasons success
has not attended their efforts. Theide
was to place strong tanks under the seats
of the cars, which are charged with air
compressed to about four hundred and
fifty pounds to the square inch. This
is the motive power which is applied to
machinery under the car, which thus
propels it, as if it was locomotive
The plan of using air instead of steam
for motive power is very old, and num-
bers OF trials have been made in various
countries, but hitherto it has never
proved successful. In the present in
stance two Scotch engineers, Messrs.
Hardie and James, nave brought the
system to great perfection, and ore of
these cars, loaded with passengers, ran
from the Harlem River to Twenty-third
street, New York, and back, with the
single charge of compressed air with
which the car started. This was dis
tance of ten miles. Such a feat with
compressed air has never been accom-
plished before, and shows the perfect
success of Messrs. Hardie and James
system, but its adaptation appears to be
as far off as ever. This has been due to
various causes, one of the principal ones
being want of unity of action be.

Remarkable Lightning.

A correspondent writing from New
Albany, Ind, says: In the Northern
Cemetery of this city is q marble slab
upon which is photographed the image
of a cedar tree as perfectly as the sun
could make an image upon the photo
grapher's plate. This image was pro-
duced by the lightning of a recent
storm. The lightning appears to have
struck the slab, and has left the imprint
of the tree standing few feet away
from the stone so perfectly that every
limb and branch is recognizable. The
strangest part of this singular freak OF
nature is the fact that the imprint OF
the tree appears also on the opposite
side of the slab almost as perfect as upon
the face. This is considered very re-
markable phenomenon by those who
have seen the slab, and as yet cannot be
accounted for.

The Impositions at Niagara.

The State of New York has awakened
to an acknowledgement of the shameful
methods of the sharks who are exhibit
ing NIAGARA Falls to the sightseers of
the world. Not one in hundred who
visits Niagara is not indignant at the
way he is swindled every time he turns
corner. Everything about Niagara
except the waterfall is disgrace to the
State of New York and to the Ameri-
can people. Visitors hurry as speedily
as possible from spot designated by
nature as the most wonderful, but pros
tituted by man to purposes Of extortion
not much above the methods of high
wayman. Lord Dufferin did not hesi-
tate to say to the Governor of New
York that the condition of affairs at
Niagara, is intolerable.'' At the last
session of the Legislature, Governor
Robinson caused an inquiry to be made
by a commission, including among
others Mr.. Dorsheimer, Mr.. F. L. Ohm
sted and Mr.. Gardner. Their report to
the Legislature at Albany suggests that
the State take back what it surrendered
a hundred years ago; that the islands
and the islets be stripped of all build
ings; that the American side be dedicat-
ed to a state of nature; that the
matchless fora of !, the district be re-
tsored; that the village be separated
from the rapids and the falls by trees:
that the river be made accessible, and
no longer be disfgured by buildings or
artificial landscape gardening. New
York will honor herself, and be entitled
to the gratitude of the world, if she
will move in fhis nnattar and clean ont
the pack of extortioners who now in
habit Niagara Fails. Reform will be
needed at almost any, cost. It is posi-
lively disgracefm that regions like the
Yosemite and Upper Yellowstone,
which not one person in a million can
ever hope to see, are kept sacred for the
use OF the people, while Niagara, within
easy reach of teeming millions, is'shut
off by the money-mak kers, as if it were q
circus and score or more of side-shows.
