Expensive Eis ctrieal Joke.

a young man went to Brooklyn thea
ter, purchased q seat in the row next but
one from the orchestra and was soon alb
SCRIBE in the performance, which included
the exhibition of g continuance called an
electric organ. Suddenly he felt strange
thrill run through his body. He struggled
violently to rsise himself from his seat.
but found that he could not move from
the chair and was entirely unable TO sue
cessfully exert any muscular force
whatever. He was terror stricken,
and for g moment thought he had
been seized with .stroke CT psrely-
sis. The spssm lasted few moments
and then as il passed CT the man sprsng
from the chair, rushed up the aisle and
out of the auditorium, pursued By the
laughter of the audience which had wit
messed his contortions. He soon dis
covered that he had been made the vic
tim OF 8 practical joke and that the chair
in which lie had been seated WAS con-
nected with the electric organ. It was q
part Of the scheme to play this trick upon
some one occupying a chair near the
stage; in full view of the audience. The
victim couldn't see where the fun came,
and brought suit against the theatrical
managers Tor 1000 damages.

ON TOP OF THE GREAT PYRAMID.
What May be Seem In Looking Across the

What May be Seen In Looking Across the
Desert-xhe Terrible Sand Storms.
Scribne1's Magazine.
The views from the great pyramid,
though at all times sublime, vary with
the time OF day and night and with the
courses of the sun and moon. The first
look is for Cairo. Il is plainly visible
with its tall minarets and broad domes OF
glittering metal and color, and beyond it
the dark Mokkatam hills are seen. A
forest of immense palms far sway upon
the border Of the Nile marks the site OF
ancient Memphis; still farther south are
the pyramids OF Sakksrah, the great
"S.epn pyramid, "the father OF pyra-
mids,n among them. Farther on is the
saesert; on The right is the desert; in front
is thMtiHSert; all around Is vast PLAIN,
now golden, now red, now in part black,
now gray, changing as the sun changes,
as the great shadows of the pyramids are
projected upon it, or as the moon comes
with its pale light and tones down
the grand chromatic display. The only
variation in the wondrous expanse comes
from the molds of sand here and there.
These last change agreeably to the whims
of the wind. Like draft animals, at one
moment they seem to be resting and wait
ing for their call to labor. Then the
airy messenger comes and gives the
word. At once the sand begins to rise
in slender spirals. Body and strength
are gathered as it continues whirling and
ascending, until it towers aloft like q
great blsck column. Now 1t is Joined By
wild company impellec by the wind, and
all hasten across the plain-all rising
higher and higher, all wavering. spinning
with awful velocity, until their destina-
ton reached they fare at the top like
wa erspouts, break and burst high in
sir, and are diffused-s terrible storm
upon the plain below. Woe 70 man
or camel on whom descends the awful
weight!

different grasses during the drouth of last
year in the northern states, says, among
other things: Alfalfa, or Lncern, has
made the most continuous growth and
remained most fresh and green during the
time of the greatest heat and drouth.
The stems sre more harsh and woody
than iE favorable seasons. Red clover
ranked next to the alfalfa in growth dur
ing the worst period of drouth and is
counted much more valuable plant for
this region. It's presence in pastures and
meadows has been great help.
Johnson grass-Thich is not counted
valuable fer US, as it is a very coarse
grass and kills TO the ground with slight
frost, although the roots have not sppar-
emily been injured during the past two
wintere-is worthy of note from the great
growth msde after the moderate rains Of
