One night recently the electric lights
at the Collender billiard hall were a
little late in starting, and the proprietor
notified his Chinaman to 90 up and
start them. After getting step-ladder
and finding that he could not reach the
lamp, 10 the surprise Of all present he
disappeared and in a short time
appeared again upon the top of the
beam to which the lamp is attached
with a gas.lighter in his hand. John
had made his way to the back yard and
clim bed to the roof of the building.
Then he opened one of the side win
dows of the skylight and crept inside.
When discovered he was crawling eau
tiously along one OF the beams. Stop
ping in the middle he struck match
and lit the taper and then reached down
to the electric light and tried to "touch
it off," After fumbling about the ap-
paratus for a minute or more he gave
up the job in despair and retired by the
same route In which he came. Present.
ly he appeared in the billiard hall again
and with an expression of disgust and
batiled ingenuity on his face, approach
ed the proprietor and said: "No can
Ilghtee 'lec:ee; no gasee; no can
The proprietor kindly en-
deavored to explain to the Chinaman
the difference between gas.light and
electricity, and after half hours
tedious lesson gave up the task, almost
prostrated with nervous exhaustion.

Mrs. Sprague andher daughters re
turned to their homeat Edgewood som,
weeks since, and haze been spending
the spring weeks there quietly. The
last Of Mrs. Spragufs personal effects
have arrived here from Canonchet
Governor Sprague al last consenting &c
to their removal by Der trustees. In
appearance, that lad y of undying fame
and beauty has never been 50 striking
as now. The same grace and loveli-
ness that always distinguished her
still remain, and with her pride and
spirit unbroken sheis as charming az
ever.
At one time grief and sorrow seemed
to have left visible impress on her,
but from that she allied, and is now
more queenly be$uty than when she
first ruled over Washington society,
and all the town raved and ran af or
her. Old mber Of society here
point to the spot in the East Room of
the White House where Mrs. Sprague
used to hold her cart. Mrs Langtry,
under her favoriB oak tree in Hyde
Park, had not half such a court about
her as Mrs. SprARup in the heyday of
her fortune.
Then she used otten to stand near the
big chandelier at tie south end of the
East Room, and this one world came to
her and admired her. Her social sue
cessor has never appeared, and though
1t has once in while been said of some
beauty that she had received
the mantle of Mrs. Spragne, the asser-
tion was merely an extravaganza com.
pliment that nothing afterward carried

About 6 O'Clock last Saturday even
ing, while five men were busy at work
on a building that is being erected OIL
Delaware avenue near Adams street,
the scattold, which seems TO have been
insecurity fastened gave way, carrying
two of the men down with 1t, and al.
most burying them under tie falling
lumber. The others managed to hold
on to the walls until they were rescued.
The men who fell were both badly hurt,
and one of them named David Forward,
who resides in the vicinity of Twenty
second and Market street Is seriously
injured. When Forward found that
the scaffold was falling he made an et.
fort to save himself by selling hold of
the wall, but this having just been put
up gave way and fell upon him. For.
ward was taken out in an insensible
condition and removed to shed, where
his injuries were attended to by DR..
Draper, who thinks that he will recov-
or. The other man who was injured is
Thomas Fitzgerald, a colored
man, who lives on Orange street near
Tenth; he received several cuts On the
head but was able to walk home.

60 back to their old homes. ~ don't
like them to shoot too near here" said
Mr.. Mathewson, for then the crippled
birds return and lay around and die.
If tire match is far off it Is only tie
perfect ones which have not been hit
which return" There are birds which
have gone through number of match
es, and Mr.. Mathewson relates that on
one occasion his young son looked int
the box as tho shooters were gettinG
ready and saw there an old pigeon
known as Badly. "Pap, said th
youngster, "Baldy has got off -four
times, and l don't think it's fair lie
should run the risk again." I'll fix it"
answered Mathewson. "Never you
mind; they won't want Baby" "W lat
did you do?" 1 asked. "Why, Just
clipped off little piece of one of mis- |
wings, 80 little that you wouldn't hive
noticed it, but enough to prevent the
bird from making q good fly. He had |
to sail along the ground quite ads
lance before rising, and of course
wouldn't do for mark"
At Mathewson's there are in pigeons,
fantails, tumblers and carriers. "See,
here" remarked Ringwalt, show soon
will l be able to let that pair of young
fantails / Lad of you out?''
" Well, if they are clipped too short,
and you want to give them full liberty, |,
pull out the stumps and the feathers
will grow out pretty soor. But If you
want to keep them around for a while
yet, and the feathers have grown, Just
clip off one wing of each bit they
can't go far. If the feathers haven't
grown, and you wantthem to stay let
them alone, and theywon't be able to
fly for two or three weeks. Itdon't take
long for young pigeons to get accus.
toned to their new hOmes.

A POLITICAL PROPHECY OFT RE-
PEATED.-We are nOt sdre that he
did say it /; but it is attributed to our
Jocular and whilom Democratic friend
Jacob Moore, Esq, of Sussex, that he
opened his heart to an interviewer the
other day, and commenced with the
prophetic sentence
"God is on our side and we are
bound to wiH."
There was once time when the
former States Attorney General could
have said that with some show of con-
Rdence. But that was when he was
q young and ardent Democrat of
whom the Sussex Democracy were
proud. Since that day the phrase has
become patent, and we should not be
surprised if the present occasion was
the fourth or fifth time it had been
used, and as often the election result
ed in favor of the Democrats.
Mr.. Moore is in the habit of speak
ing with great confidence, and has a
large influence with his Republican
friends. But he stands great chance
of losing his reputation, or rather
gaining the reputation of false pro-
phet. He that speaks without know
ledge is apt to be found in just such
positions, and Mr.. Moore is old enough
to be more wise. tits great risk to
assert that the "Lord is on our side"
the language of Guiteau ought not
to have found lodgment in the mind
of SO able gentleman in Delaware
and the "crank" was just as confident
that he was "bound to win" 1t
turned out otherwise though, and
MIR. Moore will probably find he has
again been too sanguine of his party
success by the help of the negro. Mr..
Moore was careful to avoid what he
might with less risk have said. But
the reader will observe that he did
not say ''he was on the Lords slde.''
No indeed. Neither did Guiteau
Mr.. Moore might have enlightened his
friends thus. But he did moth,
preferred to leave them in the dark al
to the side he was on. But assumed
TO know and to say "the Lord is on ou
side and we are bound to win" Iha
will do to tell the colored voter, but i
that individual is as curious as tn
white voter he will want to kno,
where Mr.. Moore got his information
and how it came that the Lord ha
just got on the side of Mr.. Moore, t
which, reasoning from analogy,
must have been heretofore opposed.
