Robbins Circus.-Frank A. Rob-
bins Circus and Menagerie exhibited in
Shepherlstown on Wednesday to fair
sized audience. One of the cars jumped
the track up the road, causing a deten-
ton of about four hours, consequently
when they arrived about eight o'clock
there was a large and admiring crowd
of spectators to witness the unloading.
At twelve O'Clock there was a very
good street parade, and two hours later
the show began. The menagerie was
up to the average Of travelling shows,
and the circus performance WAS quite a
good one. The bareback riding, both
of the men and women, was excellent,
as was also the tuIa bliIg, Juggling and
trapeze work. The seven performing
elephants were shown off in an admira-
BILE manner by Messrs. Cook and Car
roll. The show was conducted in first
class style, ahd was thoroughly re-
spectacle. Col. George S. Cole. the
press manager, is Il particularly clover
gentleman, and we commend him to

Deliberate Suicide.-On last
Thursday week, Mr.. James Miller, re-
siding near Amos Markers, at Head OF
Opequon, was, as every one thought,
happily married to Miss Sarah c. Taylor,
residing in the same neighborhooG. On
Thursday afternoon, just one week after
the wedding, he borrowed his fathers
gun, saying he was going to Bloomery,
w. Va. Instead of doing so he went
several hundred yards from the house,
in the woods, and after deliberately re-
moving his hat, coat, vest and boots and
tieing string to one of his toesiand then
to the trigger, laid down and fired the
gun, the charge entering his chin, shat
tering his head and skull. He was re-
spected and worthy young man, aged q
years. His bride was 20. His remains
were not found until Friday. No letters
or statements were found, nor are there
any reasons assigned why he committed
the act. 1t is supposed it was mind
trouble. 1t is stated that his wife lett
his house on Saturday after the we'd
ding, and had not returned up to the
time the act was committed Wnches-

The Planets.-Uranus is morning
star in October. Jupiter is evening star
until the 9th, and then begins his course
as morning star. Saturn Is morning
star, and Is the most eligibly situated
for observation OF any Of the planets
during October. This beautiful planet
may be easily found, for Castor and
Pollux are on the north and Procyor on
the south, and he is the only bright star
between them. Venus and Neptune are
morning stars, while Mars and Mercury
are evening stars. The October moon
fulls OF the 18th. The apparent
movements of the sun will interest the
amateur astronomer. During October
the days continue to lessen rapidly. On
the lst the length Of the day was IL
hours 4s minutes; on the 3lst it will be

of the seasons advance. Observers will

Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1886-02-11
Diving as a Science.

OF course, the difficulty and peril at
tending the divers vocation can only
be known by those who practice it. At
the same time, science is proving her
self SO great wizard that it would be
rash to declare that the day may not
come when very great depths may be
reached by the diver; soundings sufli-
GENTLY deep to bring within reach of
his impressive and gallant industry
many richly-freighted wrecks whose
contents are now left to be scattered by
the tides and buried for eternity under
the sands and shingle of the sea. 1t
may, perhaps, be said that diving, as a
science, has not kept pace with other
discoveries or improvements; yet the
dress in which the divers descend and
the apparatus that keeps them alive
when they are below mark some APP
proach to rapidity of invention and
progress when it is considered in what
late age we find the old-fashioned div
ing-bell lingering in this century. 1t
was by means of the diving-bell that
the old submarine and other surveys
were made. Good work was unques-
tionably achieved by their agency
Thus, in 1877 the divers were enabled
TO furnish full report of the condition
of the old Royal George, which had
sunk off Portsmouth as long before as
1882. They reported her as mere
mass of ribs and timbers, with apertures
which were cabins when she was afloat,
full of black mud. The diver of to-day,
however, moves freely in the depth to
which he ventures to descend. He can
walk or creep, and, though it is very
rarely that he can see, yet he is enabled
to feel his way with sure hand. He
can secure tackles to great weights, and
by signals can cause them to be raised
to the surface with the ease at least with
which cargo is discharged from the hold
of vessel in dock. Dire accidents
may, it is true, befall him, such as prob
ably the occupants of the diving-bell
had no occasion to fear. The pipe
through which he breathes may get
twisted round a piece of wreck, and he
may be so situated as to be unable to
free it sufficiently to be drawn to the
surface. The line by which he COM
municates his wishes to the people in
the vessel above may also get foul of
some obstruction, and prevent him from
communicating his desires. He may be
las, indeed, he too frequently is-at
the mercy of men who may not give to
their duties that strict and unremitting
attention by which alone his life can be
rendered tolerably safe. Yet divers are
necessarily practicing their calling, and
accidents on the whole are rare; whence
it is not unreasonable to conclude that
further invention and improvement in
the direction of diving, SO as to enable
man to live and labor in a depth
greatly in excess of what he would now
dare to contemplate, need not necessar-
lily be attended with fresh perils.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

There is a society in this city known
for its good works. 1t has well-paid
agents. Some of them are very well
paid. A few years ago one of this class
was regarded as almost useless, and
there was talk of discharging him. He
was kept on because he was known to
have some money, and talked of remem-
bering the society in his WILL One day
about this time he happened at the Of
flee of the society and gave the chief Of
ficer thereof his will, to be kept in the
society's safe. He, however, allowed
the official to read the document, which
was carefully drawn, and gave the so
ciety the handsome sum of $4,000 out
right, and the remainder of his estate at
the death of two relatives, who were to
have the income thereof.
This, he explained was not less than
$4,000. There was no more talk of
cutting off his salary. Since that time
no matter how long ago-the man, still
an agent of the society, died. The Off
GERS of the society sent Sc bouquet to
his funeral. We are not sure that they
did not have under consideration the
wearing of Grape for him. The denoue-
ment came few days later. He had
made second will the day after that
first one which was so ostensibly hand
ed to the society, and in it he gave all
his property-not quite $40, 0o0-to his
wife. In fact, it was one of those cases
of mans dealings with man that make
angels weep. boston 1raCeller.

EXPERIENCE VS.. INEXPERIENCE
1t is a matter of regret that in intro
ducing Hoods Sarsaparilla, its proprie-
tors are obliged to overcome a certain
distrust by some people who have I'M
fortunately bought worthless CON-
pounds mixed by persons ignorant OF
pharmacy. Messrs. C. |. Hood & Co.
are reliable pharmacists of long exper-
fence and they make no claims for
Hoods Sarsaparllla which cannot be
substantiated by the strongest proof.
And we say to those who lack conf
dence, read the unsolicited testimonials
in favor of Hoods Sarsaparilla, and
then prove its merits by actual personal
test We are confident you will not be
disappointed, but will find it medicine
of grant value, which can be implicitly
relied upon. 100 Doses 81.
