EXTRAORDINARY Adrenture.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat relates
that:
Frank Mauzhardt. a resident of Car
bondale. ILL.,, met with most eXtrCor-
binary adventure on Friday last. He
was engaged in walling up q well be
had Just dug on the farm of Capt. >.
c. Scott, short distance east of this
place. He had laid up the wall to
within few feet of TIE top of the well,
but was at the bottom of the well for
some purpose; all of a sudden the
bricks began caving in at his feet, and
the entire wall settled downward and
began tumblmg in. No hep was at
hand Mauzhardt tried to eXtricate him
self by climbing up on the brick
as they fell, and in this way elevated
himself some five or six feet. The
brick fell faster and faster,
aud at last he was caught and held
fast. The brick then covered him up
for distance of ten feet. As soon as
the accident was discovered wOrkmen
went to his relief They called to him
and received answers. The work of
removing the brick continued over
four hours. At last the man was I'M
covered. He was standing upright.
One arm extended. the other raised
above his head. He was wedged in SO
tightly that he could not move. The
most singular part of the mishap was
that he was comparatively uninjured.
A slight bruise on his face and little
knot on his head was the only damage.
The workmen releasing him en-
cOuraged him all they could and he
kept urging them to work hard. He
says that his sensations during the four
and one-haD hours imprisonment were
peculiar beyond Imagination, but that
he was not unconscious for moment.

1t was a London astrologist, who
predicted the phenomenal atmospheric
disturbances of this season, fOretold
that among the results of the
phenomenon would be an unusual
religious excitement on this side Of the
Atlantic. It will not be fair TO say
that a conjunction of the planets is
responsible for Sam Jones or the
numerous evangelists who are moving
multituues of worshipers so nightly,
but it does seem that there is perfect
craze of faith cures and vision relations
sweeping over the country. Two
women in Cincinnati have set them
selves UP as objects Of worship, one
claiming to be Christ and the other
the Holy Spirit, and the most ridiculous
part of it all is that number OF the
prominent people Of aristocratlc
Walnut Hill are bowling before these
self constituted goddesses. Now the
news comes of widespread religious
excitement in Western Alabama
caused bv the pre- ching of a young
woman who claims to have died and to
have entered Paradise and was sent
back to preach to the people of earth.
The singular part of this girls history
is that she actually has death ce-titi-
cate from the physicians.
They testify that she actually died
while under their treatment and was
prepared for burial. Before being
committed TO the earth the young wo-
man awoke from her trarce and aston
isbed her weeping friends by suddenly
sDringing from the bier and dancing a
hornpipe across the floor. She told OF
having met while in heaven lady ac-
uaintance who lived long distance
off in another state, and who was sup
posed to be living and in good health.
Subsequent inquiry developed the start
ling information that the lady in ques-
ton was really dead. and had died Just
at the hour the Alabama girl claimed
to have seen her in heaven. Another

COUNTRY LIFE AND WORK.
THE REAPEEs.

When the tired reapers, with fragrant shcaves
Come out Of the corn. as the sun goes down.
And the sky i rich as the falling leaves
In crimson and purple and golden brown,
sit in the mellow and marvellous ewes
And watch, a. the loom Of the sunset weaves
Its cloth Of gold over country and town
And / think how the summers have come and
gone
Since we saw the shuttle across the blue
That wove the coloFs Of dusk and dawn
When the musk of the sleeping roses flew
On the wings Of the soHth wind over the lawn,
And the evening shadows we're longer drawn,
And the sun was low, and the stars were few
When Love was sweet in the lives we led
As the heaven that lives IN the latter spring
To grow in the flowers. the books we read,
The romp and rush ~ the grapevine swing,
liz words and work, 10 be filed Sud fed
On brooks Of honey and wasted bread
And sung III the songs that we used TO sing.
And out Of the shadows they come to me,
As flowers % the spring come. year by year,
The lovers we had When 70 love was free,
The stars were few and the skies were clear,
And We knew il Wa happiness just TO be,
Through the sheaves Of the ClOud-iand fair to
see.
While the weary respers are drawing near.
Though the red and white roses have lost their
leaves
in the ashes OF summers Of long ago,
They come through the mellow and marvellous
ewes,
With the harvest Of love that we used to sow.
As rich as the garisuds the sunset weaves
When the tired reapers web fragrant shcayes
Come out Of the corn and the sun is low.

OCTOBER STORM

The storm which occurred on the 14th
inflicted great disaster at numerous points.
At Chicago the Western Union people pro-
nounced it the worst storm they had en-
countered in five ears, and for hours the
wires were useless A number of build
ings were wrecked and damaged and in
in process of erection RACED to the ground
by the fury OF the gaze, among others
block Of twenty twostory houses was
blown down. At KAukee, H., there
was great damage 70 buildings, shade
trees and crops; the iron tower OF the
water company, l25 feet high
was blown over crushing a barn,
movable was the sport OF the wind. At
Oiell, H., the Chicago q Alton r. II. ele-
vatOr was unroofed and the smoke-stack
blown down, shops, barns, fences and trees
were wrecked and blown about like puff
balls. At Streator. H., church steeples,
stacks, chimneys, sheds and fences were
wrecked and houses unroofed. At Racine,
Wis, trees, fences, lumber phi, :, sigus and
awnings were wrecked and IN the country
farmers stacks blown over the land. At
Lyons, Ia the smoke stacks of the Lyons
Lumber Co, and the Water Works Co,
were blown down and other damage
done. At Peru, Indiana, roofs
were blown of aud the town
greatly shattered. Fort Wayne. Ind, had
a disastrous visitation, many prominent
signs, &c, scattered in every direction.
AT MoDroeville, Ind, a brick barn was
blown down and Mrs ;. NJ. Williams, wife
of the owner killed In Michigan state
telegraph wires were generally down, and
Detroit trees, roofs, plate glass aud cleo
trio light-towers suffered. At Buffalo, \.
", the gale was furious, the wind blowing
20 miles an hour, the water in the harbOr
rose several feet, railroad tracks we're food
ed plate glass windows broken, telegraph
and telephone wires becoming a general
wreck. The uncompleted music hall, cost

aggregate loss inflicted beyond immediate
estimate. On all the lakes except
Lake Superior more or less damage oc-
Cured but the crippled telegraph service
renders details meager. The grain-laden
schooner Geo. NJ. Case, from Chicago TO
Buffalo, went to the bottom of Lake Erie, 3
miles of Port Colborne, the Captain and one
of the crew being drowned. Louisville,

Turkish Architec.nre.

A correspondent of the London
Standard. writing from Constantinople
thus truthfully speaks of the difference
between the outside and inside views
of the Turkish capital:
The first glance of any visitor,
whether he come from east or west,
mnst be one of admiration-of that l
need not speak. But when, more ia
miliar with the magic of the sight, a
man returning from the true Oriental
world begins to look closely, he is
struck with the utter absence of those
graceful qualities which elsewhere
characterize it. The Turk has no feel
ing for beauty, or color, or elegance.
There are several schools of MOslem
architecture. all SO replete witt charm
that even in this their day of degrade
ton one may confidently expect that
new mosque will please the eye. None
of these exist in Turkey. In describing
his recent travels, Baker Pasha speaks
with enthusiasm of the Saraeenic ruins
he found strewn along the march of
the Gilman conquerOrs. They took no
copies nor felt the influence. Arrived
at Constantinople, the pOnderous de
formity of Saint Sophia impressed
their kindred souls and became n mod
ell, Their mosques are built as sOlidly
as fortresses upon this most unfortu-
nate prototype. With photographs be-
fore him of the six grandest mosques
in Stamboul. man acquainted with
them all might be obliged to look for
unimportant peculiarities to distinguish
one from another they vary in size, Of
course, and in details; they have more
or less minarets more or less court
yards, and so Oh; but the general idea
is always the same, and it is one ex-
tremely ugly. | am not talking Of in
teriors. The exquisite fancy Of Orien-
tai architecture nowhere finds room.
All is gross, heavy. shapeless-vault
piled over vault to the low pitched
dome which crowns the informal mass.

creamerIes located in the four Northwestern
states are distributed follows: Iowa, ESQ:

Naturally, therefore. the people Of Iowa take
no little interest In the question Of pure butter
and both the manufacturers and consumers are

Last winter. Hon. II. H. sherman, residing at
Monticello, was made state Dairy Commissioner.
In the course Of q pleasant interview az Des
MoiHes, he stated to me that he had made a
Thorough investigation Of the Xix 3undred and
fifty creameries OF the State. and only ten Of
them were found guilty Of evading the law re-
gardjng oieomargariue. Evidently Iowa is de
tcrnined to have pure butter.
