THUNDER STORMS ON THE HUDsoN.-

described as terrific and appalling :

to that of hens egg, according to the
imagination or impressibility OF the OBJ.
server. More or less damage has been
done by the storms. The effect on the
river itself was remarkable. The vivid
and continuous play OF the lightning so far
blinded the pilots in some cases that the
steamboats, had to be stopped. These and
other phenomena will be variously ascribed
to the comets and to Vennor.

by A. 3. Newcomb and Louis V. Caziari.
They state that the investigation has devel-
oped that the defendant has unlawfuily drawn
from the United States Treasury, on
checks, and appropriated TO his own
use, the sum mentioned. They believe
further investigation will disclose
further large sums taken by Howgate !;
that he has, with the full knowledge of the
facts, and while the investigation was still
going on, suddenly, and without declaring his
business or reasons for leaving, left the Dis
trict without indicating how long he will re-

that Howgate intended to dispose of his real

AWcll-Planned Scheme.

The Russian Socialist, Prince Krapot-
kin, who has Just been expelled from
Switzerland, was aided to escape from
st. Petersburgh in avery ingenious way.
One day he received, in his ration OF
bread, tie following message from an
unknown hand: ssWhen you hear Beet
hoven's sThird Waltz played upon a
piano in the house opposite, ask per-
mission to 90 out into the court.' Al
though the Prince did not quite under
stand, he nevertheless kept strict watch
for the sound of the waltz. Three days
afterward, in the afternoon, some one
began to play it. He Immediately asked
to be taken into the court. Scarcely had
he reached the yard in company with his
two sentinels than he saw the large gate
to the prison yard open to allow loaded
wood-wagon to enter. The wagon had
not entirely passed the gate when, ap-
parently by accident, it discharged its
load of logs at the entrance. The
Prince, seeing his opportunity, gave q
bound before the wood was entirely out
Of the cart, and cleared not only the
gate but two bullets which were fired at
him by his guards. The fallen logs
prevented an Immediate pursuit. At
The gate was a Cossack horse, saddled,
awaiting the Prince. He mounted it
and galloped away. Since then the
Russian police have never been able to
find out who it was that played so well
the "waltz of evasion.'

The Value OF Competition in Business.

Competitor forces every one who would
achieve the highest success in any business to
avail himself Of all legitimate means to that
end a. T. Stewart started in small way
in selling dry goods-with increased capital,
a wider experience as buyer and better
knowledge Of the wants and tastes OF the
public enabled him to procure specially sIn-
telligent labor. The public was well served
and he was largely benefited by his enter
prise. Look at another distinctly American
industry; the primitive American stoves
were clumsy affairs. To-day they are every;
where recognized as the best in the world
for convenience, utility and beauty. Look
at the great success of the makers of the
CHARTER OAK STovEl Starting in small
way in 1s47, the business gradually devel--
oped and increased. To-day It's the largest
factory in the world Of its class, and brought
to st. Louis reputation for good stove
work which is now worldwide, more than
400, 900 CHARTER OAK STOVES being IN con-
slant use, abundantly testifying to. the fact
that they are well worth buying and making
the homes of the people comfortable. GID

A correspondent Of the San Fran
cisco Eaanainer, in speaking of the big
trees of Calaveras County, says: "In
the stump of one of these trees ball
room thirty feet across is built,
and it requires ladder of eighteen
steps to ascend to the top of the log, on
which was built ten-pin alley. It has
been burned up, but the body Of the
old, charred monarch Of the forest still
remains. Think of it--a hollow log,
through which one can ride on horse
back 100 feet and come out through a
knot-hole! There are some ninety OF
these big trees, measuring from soto
100 feet in circumference, and reaching
up to the skies from 800 to 450 feet.
From the rings that denote the annual
growth of these trees science has esti-
mated some of them to be 1900 years
old, while they stand over the fallen
bodies of much older growth, covered
over with earth and large growing
trees, as it is one of the peculiarities OF
this timber not to decay. 1t appears to
be species of redwood. 2
