Mr.. FEssLER has taken a contract to put down
an Artesian well on the land connected with the
Lunalilo Home. This locality being at g consider
able elevation above sea level it will be necessary
TO raise the water to the required height by pump
ing. A first-class pump of the style used in the

These pumps are Of remarkably simple construction.
The piping above them has 4 larger bore than the
barrel of the pump, and should anything go wrong
with the valves the whole apparatus lifts out with
the pumping rod, and can be brought to the sur
face, repaired, and lowered again without any
trouble.

A HORRIBLE FAIL.
A Rope Walker Killed While walking
Blind Folded. rft 7


New York Sun, Tuesday,
Prof. ID. ]. Dare, the "man fly, Rymnast
and rope walker" was advertised to give an
exhibition upon the tight rope yesterday
afternoon, at Flushing, L. l., during which
he was to walk backward and forward blind
folded, tied from head to foot In sack, and
with his feet In cheese box.
Al 3 O'Clock large crowd had assembled,
q long wire rope was extended across Bridge
street from the Times office to Bovine Is
feed store, opposite, and fastened around
under the caves of the building. A lever
which frightened the rope was held In place
by being caught under the edge of the roof
After going through the simpler portion OF
the exhibition, handkerchief was tied
around his head, and he proceeded TO walk
across bllnd-folded. At this point the stick
slipped, the rope slackened suddenly, and
he fell astride It. He rebounded and fell
thirty feet to the macadamized road striking
upon his head and left shoulder, and fraG-
turing his skull. He was carried into Shaw's
restaurant close by, where he raised his head
twice or thrice, calculated, ooh, my God ~
and expired. He was afterward taken to
the Fountain House, where he now lies.
telegram was sent to his wife and his aunt
Mrs. A. II. Odell, at 239 Ninth avenue.
They will arrive at o'clock, and telegraphed
to his father, the Rev. DIR. Seman, editor OF
the Norwich Sentinel.
The real name of the deceased was James
Seman. He was about feet o inches high,
spare but athletic, with dark eyes and nous
taehe. He was % years of age, and had been
engaged as professional gymnast for about
twelve years. He fell three months ago In
Hollister, CAL, and was so badly hurt that
he lay unconscious for ten days. He was
employed In 1871 by Barnum, but has since
been giving exhibitions on his own account.

people can understand that It Is possible for
a man 10 get all he wants Of this worlds
success All honor to Judge Hilton for this
step; but as this great mastiR lies down to
rest, all the rat-terriers Of commercial life
think 1t looks big to take nip at him.
What grand thing It would be FOR Ameri-
can commerce II in all our country number
ofthegreat thouses-the hardware, the drugs,
jewelry, dry goods, importing establishments
would disband, the wealthy proprietors say
ing "We have sufficient for ourselves,
and sufficient for our children, and
sufficient for our grandchildren, and suf
ficient for great philanthroples. We would
give opportunities TO others who have no
chance now" That would hasten the time
when at the table of the worlds supply
every man would have knife and fork and
plate, instead of having a few men with
elbows spread out so far that others can not
get near, and who sit there and stuff, and
stuff, and stuff, taking down into their
voracious paunches the whole banquet Of
life, from soup to almond nuts, and leaving
nothing for others but the shells. / thing Il
is one of the most exhilaratihg facts that ih
this century we have found o man who had
enough money to stop.

GLADsTONE's GRIEF.
How the News of the Assassination WA
Broken to the Premier.

Broken to the Premier.
Mr.. Gladstone attended Saturday evening
reception at the house of the Austrian
Ambassador. While he was enjoying the
festivities of the occasion, the first telegram
from Dublin conveying the intelligence Of
the crime was received and was Immediately
despatched to the ambassadors residence.
II was delivered to Sir William Vernon
HarcOurt, who undertook the task of COM
municating the news to Mr.. Gladstone The
Premier was quietly called aside and taken
into private room, where he was informed
of what had occurred. The natural pallor
of the old mans face became absolutely
CHASTITY, and he staggered to seat without
word. For moment 1t was thought he
would faint, but he gradually recovered
and demanded in broken voice to know
the particulars. z-fi f#==t
At first he would not believe the story.
After he was convinced there was no hope
that the reports were exaggerated, he
rallied his energies and making brief excuses
TO his host drove directly home and spent
the entire night in writing and reading tele-
grams and forming plans to meet the situa-
ton. The members of the Cabinet were
summoned to his house ON Sunday after
noon, and so much other vitality important
business was transacted that 1t was O'Clock
in the morning before the Premier retired
He was up again at o. The ministers found
the Premier almost crushed by the blow,
but on the alert to meet the crisis. He
listsgad to their suggestions almost silently,
and made few comments, although he
penciled an occasional note.

The Buster.

An article in the Arkansaw Traveller.
of Little Rock, about an excursionist
that appeared on the horizon there. con-
tains few words that will strike most
people very funny as follows: can ex-
cursionist is not very presentable after
his cheap buster has lost its original
glaze and stiffness. A limp buster makes
man look as though he has been riding
free and is ashamed of himself" How
true tits. An excursionist whether from
New York, Kalamazoo, or Pentwater, is
marked man. His linen buster gives
him away. IF it is an old buster. people
say he has fshed it out of rag bag.
and if it is new one they say he bought
it for the occasion, and it looks bad.
whether new or old, after it has been
slept in, in q car-seat for night or two.
An excursionist wants to appear as
though travelling was an every day &C.
currence with him, and he wants people
to think it is great bore to him to be
on the road so much, but one look at his
linen ulster, with the dirty linen cuffs
sticking ont at the sleeves, and the
tail wriinkled as though it had been usen
to swab a gun barrel, gives him away to
all eternity.

How the Judge Crossed the Stream.

Well, we were riding along the road
one chilly day in November, talking
about court business and legal talent,
when we struck small stream that APP
peared tobe about thirty yards wide.
"Holleo.' said Judge Norton, of
Missouri, ''this is new stream to me-;
How shall we cross it?" Taking advan-
tage of his ignorance, I pretended to
survey the situation, and after emerg-
ing from the thicket I solemnly
inquired: "Judge, can you swim?"
"Like fish," he replied, while his eyes
5winkled in the expectation of displaying
his ability in that direction. 81 can't, "
said I, $50 suppose you strip off and
swim across, testing the depth as you
go, and give me the advantage of your
experience" GAM right" he said dis
mounting from his horse. Then he re-
moved all his clothing, tied them to-
gether, placed them safely between his
teeth, and started cautiously into the
creek. I choked my handkerchief into
ny mouth to keep from laughing, while
;be Judge gravely waded across through
exactly four inches of water; but you
would have died to see his look of xnut-
terable disgust when he reached the
opposite bank. His feet ware blue with
mud, but his ankles were scarcely touch
ed by the water. It was three straight
lays before he spoke to me again.

Not A Minister.

An Arkansas paper tells a story on
John A. Meeks, travelling man for o
st. Louis house. He had just stepped
off train at small town in the south
arn part of the State. when he was ac-
.osted by a countryman, who asked def
erentially: "What is your name please?"
''Meeks.''
swell Brother Meeks, I am here with
4 spring and am at your service.
Are you ready to go now? Where is
your baggage?" Meeks didnot question
the man who had addressed him, sup
posing him to be a merchant of the vii
lage not far distant. He had been won
lering if any means of transportation
would be within reach, and considered
himself fortunate in securing a spring
wagon. The trip to the village was
mainly characterized by silence. The
lriver made one or two illusions to
religious matters, which Meeks answered
Iaconically. When the spring wagon
arrived at the village, Meeks was driven
TO the residence of prominent citizen,
Mr. George Young, where an excellent
supper was waiting. Mr.. Young and
his family were delighted to see the
young man. Young laughingly alluded
10 the large trunks of his guest, remark
ng that the old saddle-bag days we're
over. Meeks smiled over q chicken
zone, and affably agreed with his host.
After supper the party repaired to the
parlor, where miscellaneous conversation
tempered by religious tone, was en-
gagged in. Finally Mr.. Young, handing
Meeks Bible requested him to read a
certain chapter, which the young man
lid. Then Young, clearing his throat
1t one of his children and nodding to
.nothee, remarked:
"Brother Meggs, lead us in prayer"
"Meggs, thedeuce!'' exclaimed Meeks.
Ny name is not Meggs. What in thun-
Ter does this mean, anyway? I am a
st. Louis drummer
"What!' exclaimed Young; are not
7ou the man who was sent here to
preach for us tomorrow
81 am sent here to sell you goods, but
hanged if I'll preach for anybody"
A rap at the door interrupted the con-
,ersation. A young man, fatigued and
muddy, entered and introduced himself
Is Preacher Meggs. The mistake was
hen explained. The driver of the
Fpring wagon had taken the wrong man.
Poor Meggs ''hoofed" it seven miles.
