The Electric Light.

Major E. G. Browne, an Englishman,
writing about the acquisition of Bur
NAH by the British, describes the effect
of the electric light
ga great ray of soft light" he says,
''shoots across the heavens from horizon
to horizon. A flood of light is cast on
spot in the village, but it's off with more
than lightning rapidity to illuminate
another. 1t leaps and bobs and bounces
about the earth in most uncanny fashion.
The villageis illumined. It visits every
portion of it and seems to enter at the
doors and windows. At first the people
rush away, but finding that in many
cases the light follows they throw them
selves face down with their faces to the
earth. In few minutes the village and
river banks are cleared, and the terrified
people take refuge in the bush or at the
back of the houses. But this only lasts
q very short time. Curiosity is stronger
than prudence. So far the light has
struck no one dead. Perhaps it may be
harmless; SO the children, clinging to
each other, venture into the glare, then
run to their mothers arms screaming
half with fear and half with delight.
Some of the big boys then rush out,
have god stare, and having dared so
much once more disappear. The ladies
seem to gain confidence next to the chill
dren. Their curiosity cannot be re-
strained any longer, SO they get togeth-
er in groups and hide their faces and
scream and giggle. Some of the more
cheeky ones actually put out their
tongues at us and began dancing and
gyrating about. The men, last of all,
emerged from their cover, and
still not half liking it walk cautiously
about and gradually the village is gay"

CAPT. YOUNG,S CLOSE CALL.
A Nearly Fatal Accident to a Diver
While 100 Feet Below the
Surface.
[From the New Haven Union !

Capt. Young had terribly close es-
cape with his life while at work in 100
feet of water near Faulkner's Island on
| Monday. He had gone down to put
chains under a sunken vessel. A system
of telephoning has been arranged for
divers SO that by means of a wire, which
is inside. the air pipe, oral communica-
ton can be held with those on the boat
above; and to test the efficiency of this
improvement Capt. Young had new air
pipe with the telephone addition made
for use on this occasion. He remained
under the water some time and succeed
ed in placing the chains under the sunk
en- Helen Augusta, when suddenly the
supply of air which is pumped to divers
at this depth by steam power gave
out.
His clothing, which before was so in
fiated, was pressed about him. A hor-
rlble death from suffocation or the great
pressure of the water at such depth
seemed i'm Imminent; nine He had strength to
but that was all. He felt himself rising
higher and higher toward the surface
of the water, his hand touched the fore
rail of the sunken craft, and the horrible
thought of what would certainly be if he
became entangled in the rigging over
head came before his mind. From that
time he remembered nothing until he
recovered consciousness an hour after
ward.
The attendants of the diver OWNED
something wrong, and hauled him up as
speedily as possible. In doing so the air
pipe was drawn in, and the attendants
saw that one of the brass couplings of
the hose had broken. This furnished
key to the matter. Grasping long and
keen knife, one of the attendants jumped
overheard as the inanimate form of the
diver appeared, and, as soon rs the sur
face was reached, slit the heavy rubber
suit in various places, so as to allow the
air to circulate freely about the incased
body. The helmet and heavy garments
were removed as expeditiously as pos
sible, and for nearly an hour the men
chafed the hands of Capt. Young and re-
sorted to other means to restore him be-
fore success crowned their efforts. He
was then brought to this city and med
ical attendance summoned. The face
and body of the diver presented hor-
rible appearance. The veins were swoll-
en- till they protruded from his flesh, on
each side of his neck at the jugular
veins were large protuberances, his eyes
were blood-shot and bulging from their
sockets, and his entire form was cover
ed with livid blotches, giving him the
APP earance of man who was suffering
from the smallpox.

The Mango Tree Trick.

This performance was given bya re-
nowned South Indian juggler in The YER
anda of the large mess house in Olom-
bo. Before the coniurer was worked up
to perform this seeming miracle, le ex-
hibited some slight-o hand marvels His
partner, with the gourd pipe, made a
hideous specialized cobra" go though
its feats. A woman of the troop was put,
tied up with cords, into basket vlaced
ON the cement floor. She screamd as q
sword passed through the sides # her
prison. Yet when its lid was openfd she
had disappeared, to return and sitby its
side.
At length the renowned conjure, with
due solemnity, proceeded to his npst re-
markable performance. He exhibited q
dried mango seed to the spectators, and
then planted and watered it in a mound
of earth brought for the purpose. Aided
by no sleeves, dress or paraphemalia,
he waved over and covered the smdl plot
with q silk handkerchief. Wbn he
raised this for the first time q young
shoot with leaves had appeared. Again
the silk bandanna covered it; again 1t
was lifted, and disclosed the crisp young
plant putting forth few more leaves
and stock. sAll the spectators wezo care
fully watching and observing the move
ments of the great artist. He was him
self tremendously excited and when sue
cessively with more waves of the hand
kerchief the, mango tree had grown in
stature to a couple of feet high, with
clean, green leaves on stalk which
sprang from the interior of the stone
that was firm with its roots in the updis-
turbed moistened earth, there was tu-
multuous burst of applause. de then
handed round leaves which he broke
from the sturdy little tree. All the be-
holders declared this performance most
wonderful, and all sorts of arguments
and theories were started to explain how
such a seeming impossibility could be
effected.

The Palmy Days of Minstrel sy.

a newspaper letter says Il was read
ing that the wife of Jack Haverly, the
once wellknown negro minstrel manag-
er, induced him to give her $40 every
night out of the receipts of the show, SO
that when he went into bankruptcy she
possessed a fortue of about $50, 900. He
begged her to lend him the money, but
she refused him, and to-day they are liv-
ing comfortably on her savings. An
hour or two afterward / met Bill Foote,
who was q boomer for Haverly when
that sky-rocket of q manager was high in
the air. Foote now runs a boarding
house in this city, aud is the custodian
of Dockstader's Theatre during the
absence of Dockstaders Minstrels on a
tour. "Oh yes; those were 'halcyon'
days." said he. "There was time when
the manager of a minstrel company had
to do hardly anything else than open the
doors of hall and let people pay to
come in. The five or six years after the
war were especially profitable. New
towns of three to five thousand inhablt-
ants were constantly being discovered by
wide-awake agents, and places of that sort
were dead sure to yield fine audiences
for anything in the way of minstrelsy.
But it isn't so now. The meat is all
gone out of that cocoanut, and the man
who can make negro minstrel company
pay has got to hustle for it. :"

A Social AutOcrat,

Two ladies who live neighbors or
Trumbull avenue have never called or
each other because, as they both moved
there at the same time, they could
never decide which one was to make
the first call
For the same reason they have neveI
spoken to each other, but have waited
to be formerly introduced. A few days
ago there arose a slight disturbance be
tween the children of the two families,
and the least ceremonious of the twl
ladies took this occasion to step over
to her neighbors veranda and offer an
olive branch of peace.
81 am sorry that my little girl should
have annoyed yours. She acknowledges
that she was in the wrong. 1 will see
that it does not happen again"
The other lady stared icily through
her gold eyeglasses, and, turning to
the nurse girl at her side, inquired in
her most supercilious tones:
as she speaking to me?"
The girl repeated what had been said
to her mistress.
Tell her 1 accept the apology" said
that lady haughtily, and, turning, she
withdrew to the house.
