The Silbon Family.

One of the most sensational acts of
the unusually thrilling programme pre-
sented by Manager w. w. Cole, this
season, is the mid-air feats of the Sill
bon family, who, for several years,
have been recognized as the premier
gymnasts of the country. 1t is safe to
say that no such substituting as is that
of Master Eddie Silbon, who plunges
from the apex of the canvas to the out
stretched hands of his brother, who
swings picturesquely on trapeze bar
below, has never been seen in any age
or country. The Silbons are justly
termed -four human meteors." Their
standing challenge of $4,000 has new
er elected reply from any contempt

AND now comes an old farmer of
Ninty-Six, S. c., who deposes and says
that earthquake shocks, similar to
those that have been experienced since
the Charleston disaster, have been of
frequent occurrence there since Janua-
ry 1885, but no one knew what they
were. Dimes to dollars that the peo-
pie around Ninty-Six are still voting
for Andrew Jackson for president and
have not heard of the death of George
Washington.

A Good Mans Tenderness.

Boys are sometimes tempted to
think that to be tender hearted is to
be weak and unmanly. Yet the ten
derest heart may he associated with
the strongest and most forcibe mind
and will. Take, for example, the story
told OF him to whom we owe our won
derful railway system. George
Stephenson went one day into an up
per room Of his house and closed the
window. 1t had been left open long
time because OF the great heat, but
now the weather was beco ming cooler,
and so Mr.. Stephenson thought it
would be well to shut it. He little
knew at tie time what he was doing.
Two or thee days aiterward, how
ever, he CHANGED to observe bird fly
ing AGAINST that same window, and
beating against it with all its might,
again and again, as if trying to break
it. His sympathy and curiosity were
aroused. What could the little thing
l1Eant? He at once went to the room
Md opened the window to see. The
window opened, the bird flew straight
to one particular spot IN the room,
where Stephenson saw u nest-that
little birds nest. The poor bird look
ed at it, took the sad story in at u
glance, and huttered down to the floor,
broken hearted, almost dead.
Stephenson. drawing near to look,
was filled with unspeakable horror.
There sat the mother bird, and under
1t four tiny little young ones-mother
and young all apparently dead.
Stephenson cried aloud. He tenderly
lifted the exhausted bird from the
floor, the worm it had so long and
bravely struggled to bring to It's home
and young still in it's beak, and care
fully tried to revive it; but all his
efforts proved in vain. 1t speedily
died, and the great man mourned
for many IL day. At that time the
force of George Stephenson's mind was
changing the face oil the earth, yet he
wept at the sight OF this dead family,
and was deeply grieved because he
himself had unconscious!y been the
cause OF death.

invention is that Of an Engishman named
Glenn. Mr.. Glenn'S invention is by no means
new, and as LONG ago as 1880 Mr. Stephen II.
Horgan, tho then Photographic editor Of tbs
New York Graphic, invented and used pro-
cess of picture chart telegraph by which he
was enabled TO give an accurate picture Of a
boat race on tho Thames, near London, with
in few hours Of the time at which tho race
was rowed. The race came Off at l p. III. in
London, and the pictures Of it wero in the
II: so edition Of The Graphic. The difference
in time suiiiced to receive the cabegram OF
twenty words required to explain by the
chart the different positions Of the boats and
to get up the cuts 1t was the quickest piece
of this kind Of work yet done and doubt If
it hss since been rivaled
This Mr.. Horgan who invented this process
is one Of the brightest of the art newspaper
men Of New York. He has charge Of tho
illustrated department of the American Press
Association, and ho can write as well as
sketch and photograph. Ee began Life as .
photographer, and was . travelling photoC
rapher, when one day man Came in to have
his picture taken. He took it, and noticed
that tho man looked at it very critically, and
that he seemed to be very inquisitive about
his instrument and his use OF chemicals.
When he saw the finished photograph he gave
Mr.. HorEan his address, and told him that if
ever ho wanted to come to New York to call
upon him and he would find . place for him.
The time soon came, and he was employed In
the Bogardus gallery.
When The Graphic was well under way a
competent photographer was needed, and Mr..
Horgan was chosen out Of a large number Of
applicants, though he was the youngest man
who asked for the place. He soon took
charge of the entire Photographic business of
The Graphic, and it was Le who invented the
process Of photo-lithosraphy which is now
used by The Graphic, and the secret Of which
enables them to do their work SO quickly. At
one time the editor Of The Graphic had ar
ranged for Mr.. Horgan to go up in balloon
and take a photograph Of New York from
above. a great deal Of money was spent in
preparing the apparatus, but the balloon in
which the trip was to be taken collapsed a
few days before the time set, and the idea
was given up-Frank G. Carpenter in Cleve-

This community met with great
shock ON Sunday morning through the
news that the estiinabtc wife of Rev.
G.. N. Kennedy of this village had sud
denly died. Mr.. Kennedy, had brought
his newly welded wife to our village
about ten months ago, and RON the
time of her first appearance among us
she had won her way into the hearts
of all those who knew her. The blow
has fallen heavily upon her fond hus-
band and has crushed many a bright
dream of the future. The remains
were taken to her fathers home In
Ingersoll, Ont, where the relatives
had been appraised OF tise sad occur
renee. THE sympathy OF the entire
community goes out to her aged faith

Mr., Kennedy had host of friends
here who stepped up promptly and
rendered all the assistance necessary
and who gave him their heartfelt
sympathy. Rev. j. W. Taylor and
