EBENSBURG, PA. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER %, 1882

twenty-five degrees above the northern hori-
Lon when l first saw II, and when 1t had
reached a point nearly in the direction of the
sun from my place of observation, 1t burst
to fragments. 1 heard no sound Of an ex-
ploson, though the smoke was plainly visi-
bic for quarter Of an hour
About the middle of the forenoon of the
18th of November, 1889, a very vivid 6re-ball
suddenly made its appearance over southern
New jersey; though at the time the sun was
sending forth its brilliant rays from an un-
clOuded sky. It seemed to fall almost direct.
ly downward and the fash was witnessed
by hundreds Of people, from Massachusetts
to Virginia. terrific explosion ensued, as
though thousand cannon bad been dis
charged in concert. The solid earth seemed
to tremble, and as the waves of the mighty
sound rolled away in the distance, nervous
and superstitiOus mortals who happened to
live near the spot where the explosion took
place, thanked God that the world still sur
vived. People at distance who haerd the
rumbling jar, but did not observe the fash.
listened with fear and apprehension, believ-
Ing 1t to be the shock Of an earthquake. A
column of smoke several miles In length and
thousand feet In diameter fioated In the
atmosphere for a considerable time. The
velocity OF this meteor was over twenty miles
a second.
The ignorant and superstitious in all ages
have ever looked upon these mysterious
bodies with fear and alarm believing them
to be fOrrunners OF warnings of pestilence.
famine, war, and dire calamity. Thus the
great meteor of 1860, witnessed by thousand $
over large extent Of country, was declared
to be the precursor of the great civil war
that followed. Strange that people of this
enlightened age should look upon the works
OF Nature In this light. They are but the
agents Of the Almighty Creator, performing
their destined parts in accordance with his
holy will and how do we know but that in
stead OF being messengers of divine wrath
they may be replacing worn out and exhaust
ed ingredients Of the earth, or renoYating
and cleansing the atmosphere, and thus rem.
dering the earth healthy and productive, OF
the air we breath pure and invigorating. In.
stead Of bringing disease and destruction
they may. for aught we know, be the means
OF promoting health, sustaining life, and
saving the world from calamity. At any
rate there is no probable cause for alarm
and why should we fear when we are as
sured that the wondrous works Of Nature
are ever guided by Him who doeth all things
well.

Rum THE MAsTER.-The terrible power
which the appetite for intoxicants has over
its slaves is vividly illustrated in the follow
ing incident:
One wintry afternoon trembling man en-
tered tavern in New Hampshire, carrying
small package Of clothing. Going to the
bar he said:
Landlord, am burning. Give me a
good glass of GIN
John, you see the old score-nOt another
drop until that is paid"
" Landlord, you don't mean that. You

you have got my tools. All I have got ia the
world is this little bundle of clothes Please.
landlord, give me for them one glass Of gin.
:" don't want your old clothes, " answer
ed the man. Pay the old score first -
The drunkard staggered back. a gentle
man then said
"What will you give me for enough To
buy two glasses of gin7 1 see Won have a

Ihe miserable wretch hesitated for a mo-
ment, then said

give them to you / shall burn to death
Stranger, it's harder to burn TO death than

He sat down and bryan to draw them of.
The gentleman did not, however, intend to
take them, but he was testing the STRENGTH
Of the terrible appetite. Others were look
ing on, and they said the man should have
bis gin.
They supplied him literally, and he drank
all he could and took the rest away. When
night came he had drank the last drop, aud
he went TO sleep in barn. The frost king
came and took the Door man in his arms
The next morning be was found in the
barn frozen TO death.

The .Esthetic Poet

About six weeks from now Oscar Wilde
will be homeward bound, and he will have
some S25, 900 in his pocket to reconcile him
to the fact that "the Atlantic ocean is u
great disappointment" He is booked for
lectures in half dozen such benighted
places as Cheyenne and Leadville, and
eastern people are wondering whether
he is drawing best In the frontier mining
towns as natural curiosity or as
a poet of the tlesly school. In San
Francisco, his agent here says, he had
an audience of 900 people on the 9th ult.
This elk he has shed his aesthetic light in
Sacram ento San Jose, Oakland and two or
three oiner towns. On his way back east
he will take in Virginia City, Salt Lake
City, Denver, and Kansas City, besides the
places mentioned above. Then he will
devote two weeks to Kansas and Iowa, q
week to Ohio and Pennsylvania, two weeks
to Canada and New England, and will give
his final performance in New York, when
he will mix up art topics and his experience
in mining towns in harmonious proportions.
