Remarkable Kite Flying.

A special despatch from Romano
ing, w. Va, tells the following
strange story: Amos Evars. of AL
pena. w, Va, is the hero of one Of
the most remarkable adventures
which ever fell to the lot Ofany man.
1t has been the custom for the male
portion of the village to make huge
kites and fly them with thick cords.
This year it was determined that all
previous efforts should be outdone.
A monster kite of the following di-
mansions was constructed: Extreme
heighth, nine feet four inches; width
across the top, four feet three inches ;
width across the bottom, two feet /;
extreme width across the middle, FIVE
feet six inches. The framework was
built of tough hickory shaved thin,
and stayed with one eighth-inch cop
per wire. A double thickness of
heavy muslin was stretched on each
side of the frame, and the place for
fastening the flying cord was doubly
braced with yellow pine scantling a
quarter-inch thick. Into this was
screwed a ring bolt, which was
clamped on the other side with an
iron pin. The ring itself was five
inches in diameter, and capable of
bearing four or five hundredweight.
The kite complete weighed ninety-siX
pounds. The tail was made of six
teenth-inch rope weighted with lead.
Instead of the usual flying cord, two
hundred yards of closely wound ma
Mia rope, very light, but as strong as
double link chain, were procured.
When the kite was finished there
was general jollification. The kite
was secured to tree, and Evers, who
was pretty drunk, watched it while
theothers were imbibing. Evers, after
while got tired holding the rope
and wound it round his own body.
There was pretty stiff breeze blow
ing at the time, and when the men
came out of the grocery the kite was
high in the air and Eyers hanging on
to the rope. He quickly disappeared
from view, and, as no trace of him
could be found during the next few
days, he was given up for lost. Eight
days after his flight he walked into
the town and told how he had been
carried to Mill Brook, Hampshire
county. seventy miles, as the crow
flies, from Alpena. In his journey he
crossed seven rivers and two ranges
of the AlIeghanies, He was discov-
cred by two gentlemen in an uncon-
scious condition. who attended to him
and accompanied him back to Alpena
There is no doubt about the truth Of
the story.

The True rnwarane.. Of Local Option,


Writing on local option, CORE
spondent gives the following in relation
to the stand taken by the bright and
witty Senator from North Carolina
Now, with my friend Zeb. Vance's
opinion on the subject, will desist. If
you remember. some years ago the
question OF local option or prohibition
as q State measure was submitted to
the people OF North Carolina and was
defeated to the tune Of 10000 MAORI
ty. The temperance people did
everything in their power to get
Vance to esponse their cause.
They csjoled and carressed him,
but he studiously avoided committing
himself TO either side until within about
two weeks prior to the election, when,
with his keen vision and sagaciol Is dis
cernment, he saw that the sentiment Of
the people was overwhelmingly against
sumptuary and prohibitory restrictions
as to their habits. lie wrote to the
chairman of the temperance commit
tee. substantially as follows:
" My Dear Sir,-Your valued favor
Of - date, duly received, and contents
of same claim my careful attention.
Reply ing, / pray leave to state that
upon the temperance question nov
agitatiDg the minds Of our people my
heart is with them, but my stomach is
against them, as must have my cock
tail before breakfast

that the Catholic Church is hostile to

Mr., Gladstone.

II is evident that Mr.. GLADsTONE's
position just at present is not an envia-
bic one, and there appears to be good
foundation for the declaration Of the
Pou-Aau Gazette that he is riding for
. fall. Not only is his Cabinet divided
against itself, but some Of the most
prominent Liberal leaders outside Of
the Cabinet are refusing to follow
him on the Irish question. However, it
10 never safe to count upon GLAD
STONES fall until his fall is an accom-
plishsd fact. More than once during
his long and brilliant public career
something has turned up to save hiu
whsn his overthrow Was considered 10
svitabls. And II Is not impossible tina
similar good fortune may attend him il
the present crisis. II the gathering
wss.cloud in the Balkans should At
ford him an opportunity for adopting
. vigorous foreign policy, the Irisl
question would quickly assume an en-
tirsly new phase. The more threaten
iDgafiairs become in the East the greater
will be the chances Of Ireland for OBJ
tanning concessions from the English,
The probabilities are that il war re-
suits from the eastern complications all
the Powers will b drawn into it. In
that event the most rabid Tories could
hardly fail to appreciate the wisdom Of
copcilisting the Irish, than whom none
have done more to reflect credit upon
British arms.

The Price Of lee.
To the Citizens Of Richmond :


The severe winter which has Just
passed must have left on your minds
the impression that the price of ice this
summer should be very low. It's our
wish that it should be. 1t is our
wish to see ice at as low rate as pos
sible, and therefore we deem it but our
duty to show you clearly our position.
On the LIST of January last the Ken
nebec river, which is our source of sup
ply, was frozen to the thickness Of eight
or nine inches, the ice being as clear as
crystal. Everything promised full hsr-
vest. On January 18th warm rain fell,
and what is called in Maine "a general
tbaw" set in. The river in consequence
broke up and jammed the entire dis
lance Of the ice fields, packing in depth
from five to fifteen feet, and in some
places to the bottom of the river. The
lam Of useless ice was never able to
move, because four days later, Janu-
airy Stb. severe cold wave which swept
the country froze the damned ice
solid. AS n result, Of the forty-four
regular dealers on the Kennebec but
twenty three succeeded in housing
about two thirds of their capacity,
while the other twenty-oDe secured
none. What ice the fortunate dealers
secured was cut and housed at an ex-
pense nearly three times the usual cost.
Some Of this ice had to be hauled seye-
raj miles in order to reach the houses.
At some places gorged ice had to be
cut, hoisted up, and hauled out in
order to prepare the river for a second
freeze.
In view of the above facts, and also
ofthe fact that the Hudson-riyer crop fell
far short of last years product, the
Kennebec dealers have advanced their
prices 200 per cent. over last years
figures.
In consequence Of this advance and
also the advance in rates Of freight and
other expenses connected with the
handling of ice. the ice-dealers Of this
city are compelled to advance their
prices to the following rates from
April LIST:
Five pounds to twenty-five pounds
daily, one cent per pound; thirty
pounds to one hundred pounds daily,
three. quarters Of a cent per pound !;
over orc hundred pounds daily, sixty
cents per one hundred pounds.
1t will here be noticed that while the
prices on the Kennebec have increased
goo per cent, the Richmond prices
have been advanced only about ~ per
cent. over last years prices.
We shall endeavor in the future, as
in the past, to supply the citizens OF
Richmond with nothing but tirSt.claSs
ice.
The above prices will be adhered to
by the following companies

DR.. A. E. Dickinson has just ira

Spouse to an inquiry from a Dispatch
reporter as to his impressions of Florida
DR.. Dickinson said The damage Of the
late cold to Florida is very inconsidera-
bic, apart from the destruction Of about
one half of the present years orange
crop. Not one tree in fifty OF the
larger ones was killed, and they are all
loaded with blooms. The immigration
to Florida is immense, and it would
seem that every neighborhood means to
have its own railroad. In . word,
Florida is on q boom.
