A Little Girls Feat.
TPittsburg Dispatch.1

lP1ttsDurS Dspatcnl
Last night was amateurs evening at
the Fifth-avenue Museum. AS usual
the house was crowded. The main
feature of the entertainment, however,
was the appearance of Miss Flora Coyle,
a pretty young miss of fifteen from the
Hancock public school, who astonished
the audience with performance that
has heretofore only been accomplished
by the widely advertised Georgia electro
magnetic girls. Miss Flora is little
girl of fifteen, well proportioned, and
perfectly self-possessed on the stage.
Her first feat was to take q stick two
feet long, held by stout young man
from the audience, and twist it almost
out of his hands. She did not clasp the
stick, but held the palms of her hands
against the ends. Two young men, one
weighing 100 and the other 17S pounds,
essayed to hold an ordinary chair down,
but the little miss, by placing the palms
of her hands against the chair forced
them around the stage. Three men
weighing in the aggregate 533 pounds,
then mounted a chair, but she forced
them around the stage with apparent
ease, though the chair broke with their
weight. Four men were then placed
upon it, but she did with them as with
the three. The audience hoWled them
selves hoarse over the performance.
While Georgia has produced two So
called electromagnetic girls, the per,
formance last night demonstrates that
Pittsburg can produce their equal with
out the apparent mystery that surrounds
the Southern couple.

accurately reflected by the sentiment
of the resolution, it was argued that the
New York Convention was divided
upon the Subject, and chat this might
seem like Officious meddling with other
peoples business. This view caused
the tabling of the resolution by deci-
sive majority. Delegates at large to the
Chicago Convention were appointed as
follows: o. NJ. Barnes of Lansing,
Timothy E. Tarnsey of Saginaw, D. Nj.
Powers of Kalamazoo, and A. p. Swine
ford of Marquette.
On the subject of the tariff the resolu-
tions declare:
ave believe in commercial freedom
the right of every man to buy where he
can buy the cheapest and sell where he
can sell the dearest-and we denounce
the present tariff, levied upon over 1000
articles, as masterpiece of injustice
and false pretence.

A Birthday Surprise.
G.. L. E.

I'D. NORTHWEST Please give space
in your paper for the report of a very
pleasant surprise given at Mrs. n. E..
Merchants, June 18th, 1884, (it being
her 4Sth birthday prepared for her
by her children, Mr.. and Mrs. S. p.
Merchant, Miss Tillie Merchant and
other friends. Mrs. M. accompanied
her son to Wauseon on that day, and
on returning home found her door lock-
ed apparently, no one at home), but
the key was put where she could easily
find it, and on opening the door, what
was her astonishment at seeing her
rooms filled with friends and the table
loaded with good things, of which all
partook heartily. Mrs. Merchant has
lived on her farm, in Freedom tip. for
80 years. and has been q widow about
IA years. She has lived alone, with her
two children, about - years, and as
they are grown now, they thought to
give their mother party as one little
token of love for her kind care in the
past. Following is list of presents:
Grandfather and Grandmother Skates,
sauce dish, quilt and apron pattern;
Mr.. and Mrs. X. Skates, flower vases;

Economy in Praying.

The season for raising corn was not a
very good one last year in and about
Austin, on account of the drouth. Sew
eral members of the Austin Blue Light
tabernacle called on their pastor, Rev.
Whangdoodle Baxter, to pray for rain,
he having neglected to do so. Whang-
doodle received the delegation gracious
ly. They stated that rain had been
prayed for in most of the prominent
churches of the white folks, and they
thought that he also should urge the
necessity of immediate showers, as the
corn was almost too far gone to raise
more than half a crop.
"You all says dat de white, piscopal
bishop and de res OBJ de preachers
prayed for rain?" queried Whangdoodle.
"Dey has done did hit,,' was the re-
ply.
"Fool niggahs!', exclaimed Whang-
doodle Indignantly, whats de sense OBJ
my prayin' for rain too den? Eff de
white folk gets rain, won't you get it
too widout my prayin' for hit?"

A Big Blast.

The Salt Lake Tribune gives the fol-
lowing account of tremendous blast
recently set off at Salt Lake City, Utah,
on the both of April: About 100 persons
assembled at the limestone quarry,
discharge of a big blast. Stone had
been guarried out so as to leave a pal
ing 100 feet wide and over 100 feet high.
This face was nearly perpendicular, but
had a bench or step extending rp from
the base forty feet. From this point a
tunnel was run in on the dip of the
ledge forty-three feet, and at the lower
end crosscut forty-three feet long was
made. At each end of this crosscut a
we'll was sunk nine feet deep, bringing
the bottom about on a level with the
floor of the quarry. In one of these
wells 100 kegs of powder was placed,
and in the other 125 kegs. This powder
was placed in bulk, and wires so ar
ranged as to enable the two masses to
be fired at the same time by electricity.
The powder and the wires once i'm posi-
ton, the wells were filled with tamping.
The manner in which the tunnel cross
cuts and wells were arranged made it
easy to confine the exclusive force of
the powder so as to be more effective.
Wires were stretched up the hill about
700 feet to safe place, and portable
battery was carried to the spot. The
crowd of spectators viewed the quarry
and such features as were visible, and
then retired to the valley below, 1000
feet away, where they had a good
chance to witness the explosion. Mrs.
Frank Pascoe touched off the powder
just at o'clock by merely pressing a
key of the machine, and at once the
whole face of the quarry was raised and
fell in an immense mass of broken rock,
from the size of an egg up to that nearly
of house. Mr.. PascOe estimates that
the blast brought down and loosened up
between 80, 900 and 10000 tons of rock.
The report of the explosion was not
heavy-in fact, less than is often made
by stick of giant-but the tumbling of
the rocks made the earth tremble for
quite distance. The amount of smoke
which rose in an immense cloud gave
some idea as to the amount of powder
used, and for time obscured the view.

A Remarkable Escape.

Mrs. Mary A. Daley, of Tunkhan-
mock, Pa, was afflicted for six years
with Asthma and Bronchitis, during
which time the best physicians could
give no relief. Her life was dispaired
of, until in last October she procured a
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery,
when immediate relief was felt, and by
continuing its use for short time she
was completely cured, gaining in flesh
so pounds in few months.
Free trial bottles of this certain cure
of all throat and lung diseases at J. c..
Saur's drug store. Large bottles 81.

The first fly of the season is here, and
he calls for some remarks. There are
nearly always some remarks made
when the early fly puts in an appear
ance. The first expression is generally
one of wonder as to where he comes
from. Like Minerva, he springs full
fiedged into being, without any inter
mediate stages of youth or infancy, and
is ready for business the first warm day.
Though he is unlike the fabled goddess
in that he is not supposed to have
sprung from skull he loves to spring
on to one, particularly bald skull. A
skull from which the capillary adorn-
ment has fled is at once the fly's recre-
alton park and pasture lot. 1t is there
he takes his morning walks or plays tag
with other flies. Although scientists
and naturalists have striven to show
that the fly is dispensation of Provi-
dence the general opinion among the
ignorant masses is that it were better to
bear the ills we had and knew not of
than fly to Others that we are sure
about.

Boats, Bycycles and Hay Fever.

For them flowers have no odor, and the

Humor in the stomach.
A GUEST.

Much of the distress and sickness at
tributed to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhna
and other causes Is occasioned by humor
in the stomach. Several cases, with all
the characteristics of these complaints,
have been cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Other cures effected by this med
icine are so wonderful that the simplest
statement of them affords the best proof
that it combines rare curative agents
and when once nsed secures the conf
dence of the people.

country, in giving it sound finan-
cial basis. But the difference be-
tween the actual value of the silver
and the gold standard is not so great
rs the profits on the bonds would be,
SO that the country is the gamer by
the substitution of the policy of the
Legislature for that of the Govern
ment. 1t is better, also, that the
country should assume the burden
of providing its own currency, and
pay the debt at once, than that it
should place itself as Il debtor in the
hands of foreign capitalist. If
the redemption of the silver certif-
Gates now is going to be Il costly
piece of business, how much more so
would he the redemption of the
bonds in quarter Of century
hence! Moreover, let us consider
the great indirect loss to the country
from having, in all that period, n
currency that would not pay our
debts abroad.

The crisis in currency matters
has. caused large amount Of gold
TO be exported by the last steamer.
In one case Chinese merchant
could not get draft for his remit
tancc because the bank would not
take fifty dollars in silver that he
offered with several hundred dollars
in gold. 1t is too much to expect
the bank to receive silver when the
Government repudiates its own coin
age Of that metal. The fact of the
matter is that the nation has gone
astray in the matter of currency,
and the only just way of getting
into a safe path is for the country as
a whole to bear the expense Of es-
tablishing true standard. Let the
Government open an exchange where
all can get rid of silver that they do
not want without individual loss.

DEAR SIR We take pleasure in in
forming you of the good work done by
your Hand Grenades at our Factory in
Alameda, yesterday. 4 fire caught upon
the shinglc roof of a large frame struc-
turc, and burned furiously, and for a
time endangered our entire works. The
fire was burning over about one hundred
feet of surface when the alarm was
given and the men all being on the first
floor, seized the Grenades and had to go
up three flights of stairs 10 the top of
the building, which is sixty feet high,
and there was difficulty in gaining ac.
cess to the fire on account OF the steep.
ness of the roof and the absence of
cleats, which occasioncd considerable
delay. When the men reached the fire
they instantly eXtinguished it by the
Use of your Hand Grenades, although
the shingles were well burned. We be-
lieve your Grenades saved the building
from total destruction. Please send us
an additional supply Immediately.
