A City In Mid.Air.

An old farmer and his family, consist
ing of his wife and several children,
moving from Tennessee to Southwest
Georgia, had encamped last Friday
night few miles above Marietta. and
between midnight and dav, while all
were asleep in the covered wagon, he
heard some disturbance among his
teams, and on getting up to see about il
he was astonished at a bright red glare
that seemed to shine out and light IN
everything around, and, on looking up,
he says he saw terrible sight in the sky
"a large red spot, in the middle of which
he saw buildings on fire and mer
running to and fro. He SAYS he
plainly saw streets crossing each
other, and railroads and trains Oh
cars, but all appeared upside down.
The smoke and flames appeared to watt
away toward the west till they died out
in the darkness. He says he was
frightened, and called up his family,
telling them he thought Judgment dav
had come, and told them all to 90 to
praying.
In about half an hour it began to fade
away and had soon died out leaving
them in the same misty darkness as be-
fore. From his description the build
ings that he saw saw must have. been
the car-shed, the Kimball House and
the Post-o flee, andalso those that were
burning. He said it looked to him like
pictures he had seen of New York and
London, but a great deal Iarger-ssal-
most as big as the whole skyn was his
expression. 1t could have been moth
ing more nor less than a perfect mirage.
The atmosphere was very misty and
gave the fire a very singular and weird
appearance even to those in life city

Tony Pastor of New York, who is now with
his inimitable variety combination, making
tour of the principal cities of the Union, is
recognized as the leading character vocalist
and variety performer of the United States.
He owns and runs a frst-c class theater on
Broadway, New York City, and has gathered
about him the best troupe of variety artists
that could be obtained. The company has
just completed a brilliant engagement at the
Walnut Street Theater, Philadelphia, and aft
er the present tour they will reappear in Tony
Pastors own theater in New York City. Mr..
Pastor is the originator of his peculiar school
of character singing, and has made himself
immensely popular, having realized by his
talents large fortune.
The writer of this article met Mr.. Pastor re-
Gently at the Bingham House. in Philadelphia,
and found him as genial in private as he is
amusing before the public During our con
versation inquired as to his physical health,
aud he replied that, notwithstanding the
strain upon him in the discharge Of his pro-
fessional duties, it was excellent. He had oc-
casionaIly severe pains, either the result of
rheumatic attacks or colds, but any complaints
of that character never troubled him long, as
he had found out remedy for all such annoy
ing affections. / asked him what the remedy
was, and he replied, ''St. Jacobs OIL" then
learned MT. IdSLOT buaL ne COustueiCu
the Great German Remedy an excellent prepa-
ration fer the cure or relief of rheumatism,
and that il was about the only thing used
among professional people for that distressing
complaint. He took bottles of it with him
whenever he vent travelling, and would not be
without it, and knew that it was very popular
with number of members of mis- own COM
pany. A conversation held subsequently with
various members Of the organization revealed
the fact that St. Jacobs Oil had been perform
ing most invaluable service for them in the
way of curing them Of rheumatism. Nearly
every artist in the troupe used it, and was en-
thusiastic in its praise, and tho writer was
really forced to the conclusion that Tony
Pastor was certainly in luck in having so valu-
able an article known and employed by his
inimitably good company of performers, for it
enabled every one to be always in his place,
thus insuring comfort to the management and
genuine satisfaction to the public Tony
Pastor would certainly be in trouble without
st. Jacobs Oil. At least, other managers
whose artists have been temporarily unsup-
piled, have noticed the difference between st.
Jacobs Oil in stock and st. Jacobs Oil out of
stock-among the members of their compa-
nies.-N, Y. Clipper.

Feeding and Digestion.

DR.. G. Augustin Bowen, Woodstock,
Conn.,, at the annual meeting last week
of the Massachusetts Board of Agricul-
ture, said on the subject of winter feed
ing and digestion that animal waste
varies with the species and the individ-
ual, the active deer requiring a much
greater amount of food than the slug
gish bear; the young of all animals
need also more than the mature. The
blood, muscles, and fatty portions of
the body may be increased or affected
by the kinds of food consumed. The
rearing of queen bees from ordinary
eggs by special feeding is an illustration
of the influence different foods may ex-
ert. Milk comes nearest being a uni
versal perfect food; its large proper
ton of water gives freedom of motion
to all the atoms which make up the
structure; the casein supplies the mus
Gle and increases growth; the sugar
aids combustion, keeping the body
warm; the fat lubricates and prevents
friction, and the lime builds up bone.
Salt is a necessary constituent of food,
but the quantity required is very small.
Oilmeal is a cheap heat and fat-produc-
ING food and should be better appre-
ciated in this country. One rule of
feeding will not apply to all animals.
The stomach of the horse is small (Only
half the relative size of that of man),
and it must be supplied often and in
small quantities. Liberal watering i'm
mediately after eating is wasteful, as it
washes the food along too rapidly for
perfect digestion. The cows stomach
is capacious and complicated, and de
signed for storing large quantities of
food. Frequent feeding here becomes
unnecessary, and may cause imperfect
digestion. Twice day is often enough
to feed cattle; coarse food remains in
the large stomach from twelve to thirty
hours before it is remasticated. Never
let any animal become cloyed by over
feeding, as it is a slow and difficult
trouble to cure. Pigs make a better
use of their food if it is given often
three or four times day. The diges-
tive power in all animals is strong, and
coarse fodder may all be utilized if fed
with other and richer food in due pro-
portion. Calves do best to suck the
cow, as the saliva is then better mixed
with the milk. By all means. feed ami
mails regularly and well, and don't have
too many feeders.-N. Y. Tribune.

Enemies Of the French.

Among the hostile sects which the
French have now to count in North At
RIGA is that of the Senoussi, founded
forty years ago by the Sheikh of that
name. This sect, which Is now under
the leadership of his son and successor,
Ell Mehedi, has its center of action at
Djerbub, in the province of Tripoi,
and, according to a correspondent of
the Repu6Eiqste FrancdiSe, its ramifica-
tions extend all over Algeria. Djerbub,
the seat of the brotherhood, is about
three days march to the west of Syoua.
It is a small town, surrounded by RAM
parts, and in the center is the religious
house known as the Zaouia, with the
tomb of Senoussi, to which Pilgrimages
are made from every part of North At
RIGA. Upward of four thousand people
reside in the Zaouia, at the head of
whom is FL Mehedi, regarded by his
followers as the reformer of the Mo-
hammedan religion, whose coming the
prophets have announced for the end
of the thirteenth century of the hegira
November II, 1882. Ell Mehedi is a
sworn enemy of the Turks, the Bey of
Tunis, and the French, whom he would
fain sweep into the sea with the army
which he asserts will be at his command
next autumn, and he expects to found a
great Arabian empire in North Africa.

Queer Ideas Of Curative Oils.

Some people still hold to curious old
superstitions concerning the curative
properties of the oils of certain animals
and to hear the druggists tell of the
strange articles called for by some OF
their customers is to be reminded of the
vagaries INDUCED in by the aboriginal
medicine man in his native wigwam.
For instance, there are persons who pin
great faith still to the virtues of rattle
snake-oil, and who believe it is a specific
for rheumatic affections. A travelling
quack, who announced that his cure-all
was partly compounded of rattlesnake,
reaped big harvest of silver coin from
crowds on the square not long ago.
There is a frequent demand for pickerel-
oil, which is said to be a cure for deaf
ness, and which is fried from the hvers
of pickerel. Mudturtle-Oil is also fire.
quently called for by people who have
stiff joints. 1t has been but two or
three years since all these oils were
staple articles in drug-stores. Pickerel-
oil sold for fifty cents an ounce, and turtle
oil one dollar a pint. These oils are
rarely found to-day, and probably from
this very reason are accredited the more
wonderful qualities by the oracles.-

THE MODERN BONNET.



Dome of st, Peter'si tell me that
u is broadly conceived, crown, brim and bow,
u 1s grand with a grandeur grand, you know I;
bnt, somehow, hardly seem made on the
% the grandest kind Of a grand young man;
And this, perhaps, is why at the play
My thoughts from Hamlet or Lear will stray,
Ana why TO the bonnet in front turn
With thoughts that breathe and words that
burn
The modern ibonneti an, who designed
This torment of tOrments to those behtnd2
For women may weep and men may rage,
The bonnet shuts out both player and stage;
And soon, with its artlees turns and jerks,
Its mods and dips and feminine Quirks,
Makes the poor wretch in the seat behind,
Who has paid for his place, as good as blind.
And still its challenge appears to be:
. Pooh, for the playl just look Mt mel
My ostrich plume. so long and lnds0me,
is worth in itself young king ransom.
Two feet across and one foot high
Is little enough for such as l.
Oh, it spreads itself like a potentateI
And yet, do you know, pity the pate,
The silly pate, that is under, or in,
And doesn't know it commits n sin.
She never suspects that the rights of man
Are ali at war with her bonnets plan;
and to gaze for three long mortal hours
At its wide eXpanse, its plumes, its flowers,
As more than man will care to do
view,
Not TO speak Of the tickets cost,
And the time and tone and temper lost
And now think of a-maiden fair,
Crowned with the wealth of her cliuging hair,
Who weareth turban close and trim,
Her sweet face glowing beneath its brim;
And say to myself: If ever wed,
Twill be with a turban maid, instead
OF the poor, misguided feminine soul
Who haunteth beaver aureole."

1T is believed Chat the Central Pa

1t is believed that the Central Pa
ciic Oakland ferry depot, which was
formally opened with public ball not
long since, is the longest of any in
the world. The train sheds on either
side are $50 feet long. The two open
sheds at the sides are each $50 feet long.
The total represents the original esti-
mated length of the whole building.
But to these were added two thirty-feet
sheds, or, as they are termed in railroad
phraseology, g bents,'' so that the total
length of the depot building is close
upon 100 feet. The breadth is 240
feet. The mole is 6, $50 feet long from
the Oakland shore. For a distance of
$500 feet it is wide enough to carry four
railroad tracks and a carriage-way, or a
width of about one hundred feet; thence
to the end of the mole it increases to
a width of $50 feet. It is estimated at
the offices of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company that over one million
cubic yards of earth, gravel and rock
have been used in the construction of
the mole

the surrounding land only in being a swamp
in reasonably wet weather, while pretty
much all Of Louisiana is swamp at an seasons
of the year. AS the people of New Orleans
strenuously objected to putting themselves
into water While living it was not likely
that they should die happy if they thought
they were to be entombed in it after death.
When water don't come all the way to the
surface in the cemeteries, it is invariably
found at depth of two feet below the sur
face, and in order to give dry burials the
dead are buried in mounds above ground
As general thing every head of family
has his own crypt in the cemetery; they are
built of brick or marble, about the size of an
oldfas hinned conntrg baset house, .
Where the parties are too poor to build a
crypt they bury in the cemetery wall. The
walls that enclose the cemeteries are usually
about eight feet thick and ten feet high
These walls are honeycombed with cells.
each, cell being about two feet square and in
length the thickness of the wall Each cell
is numbered and when the dead are placed
in these cells they are sealed with a slab of
marble orion and left to baks.as it were,
