AMONG the true stories which are
annually related about the strange
freaks of lightning there are some that
place very severe strain upon the
credulity of the most credulous. AS for
instance the one now current in Con-
necticut town, to the effect that flash
of lightning drew all the nails from a
mans shoes without hurting him. 1t
is supposed that the man was in his
shoes at the time.

IAN Interesting Law Suit.


A lawsuit over lneteorite has stirred
the usually tranquil life Of Kirchberg,
in Nuremberg. Some time ago every.
body there was startled one night by a
loud report, and ball Of fire was seen
to fall near the Rennecker sawmill. On
the next day stone weighing ton was
found among the logs by q laborer in
the mill. News Of the occurrence was
published far and wide. Among the
scores Of pilgrims to the stone among
the logs were wise men from Stuttgart
and Tubingen, who believed that they
had q rare specimen Of celestial geologi:
cal formations. Their competitive offers
for the stone bred quarrel between the
laborer and the owner of the mill as to
whether the finder of the stone or the
owner Of the land on which it fell could
claim it rightfuly.
Tubmgen professors had .it,shipped to
the university, after having agreed to
pay $500 for it if it proved to be duly
tested and. accredited meteorite. The
laborer thereupon enjoined the mill
owner from receiving the money for the
stone, and the mill owner got lawyer,
who is trying to raise the injunction.
Meantime, the Tubingen professors hav.
said that the stone has few attributes of
q meteorite, and have refused to reship
it; so laborer and mill owner are about
to begin proceedings to compel them tc
return it, both maintaining that the uni
versity is trying to get the meteorite fo1
nothing.
There are four lawyers in the case al.
ready and nothing has been decided, Sc
the costs bid fair to exceed the value OF
q dozen meteorites. New York Sun.

A EriEhtful Panic.

During Q late circus and menagerie
exhibition in Kentucky there suddenly
came upa violent storm Of wind and
rain which threatened to interfere with
the performance. At first there was but
little excitement among the spectators,
but finally tho stakes Of the outer can
vas gave way; then the immense center
pole of the large one commenced TO
sway and groan and the sides to flop and
give way; the lions commenced to growl
and roar, the elephant to swing his huge
proboscis and the horses to neigh and
stamp; the women shrieked, the confu-
sion was indescribable and the excite
ment terrific. Everybody rushed pell-
nell for tho entrance, gentlemen and
ladies in q confused mass calling alter
nately for help and friends.
OF course on the top seats some jumped
to the bottom, some fell through, some
were caught and suspended while falling
and q great many cut their way through
tho canvas. At this juncture the ale.
plant broke out among the people and
created . perfect panic of terror. The
rain was falling in torrents, tho light
ming flashed and the thunder czashed.
Men In their fright ran against the ticket
wagon, over ladies, wildly to and fro.
Many Of the ladies tainted and fell, but
fortunately none were killed or scared
to death After the storm had sbated
the great canvas was explored, but nc
one was found to be seriously injured

Tho Books Of 1891.

The last number Of The Publishers
Circular gives the usual analytic table
of books published in England during
1891. The grand total is 5,706, made up
of 4,429 new books and 1,2T new
editions. These figures show a slight
decrease on those of the previous year, a
larger decrease on those Of 1889, and a
very considerable decrease when com.
pared with the grand total Of 1888, which
was 6,591. There has been no material
variation Of recent years in the proper
ton of the several classes, except that
novels are still growing steadily. Since
1880 the total number of novels NEW and
old) published in year has increased
from $50 to 1915, or more than twofold,
and miscellaneous Including pamphlets)
has increased from 1853 to 731, again
more than twofold.
On the other hand, arts, sciences and
illustrated works have decreased from
40 to only ZIG, or less than one-fourth;
and theology has decreased from 975 to
627. The annual output Of poetry seems
to remain constant at between 100 and
ITO volumes; while the new editions of
old poetry, which come into competition
with contemporary verse, also remain
pretty constant between 40 and 70 vol.

Swallowed an Oyster Shell.

The Rev. W. D. Shea made narrow
escape in Macon Wednesday night. He
went to q restaurant for some oysters
and swallowed piece of shell, which
very near cost him his life. The shell
lodged in his throat, decorating the

Shea soon revived. His throat was con
siderably lacerated, and altogether the

The New York Democratic State
convention met on Monday, and
elected the Seventy-two delegates to
the national convention. Every con-
gressional district was favorable to
Hill, as we'll as the state at large,
and the resolutions istructing
the delegation to vote as a unit
for Hill were passed unanimously.
There has been q wonderful change
in the Democratic sentiment in that
state, as is shown by the fact that
Cleveland's friends do not control the
party in any one of the "a congress
sional district. 1t seems unreasonable
to suppose that the Democrats will
nominate Cleveland, when his state is
SO emphatically in opposition. Hills
wonderful strength in his party in
New YORK couldn't fail to bring to
him the support Of many other states.
The probability Of Hill's nomination
for the presidency increases, and the
fighting Democrats must have more
admiration for him than for
Cleveland. He has that disregard
for the rights Of the people and the
willingness to resort to fraud and
trickery to win party advantage that
must make him admired by the Demo-
Gratis of the South, who by that style
Of methods will supply the bulk of
the electoral votes necessary to elect
a Democrat president. Hill is the
coming man Of his party; he is a
Democratic: so entirely Democrat
that he will never be elected pres
ident of the United States.

Something New in Canoe Racing.

Something New in Canoe Racing.
In the last couple Of seasons we have
noted the growth of the war canoe, pro.
PEELED by paddle entirely, and the sport
had by o few races with them has created
something of an interest in padding
races generally, which were giving away
very extensively to the sailing events.
There is now some talk of building en-.
larged war canoes, to hold from q dozen
to thirty or SO, and racing them. There
are few fairly large padding canoes
now in existence, but they have served
heretofore on moonlight and other
nights as mediums for the introduction
OF the gentler sex: to the Vaccinations OF
the sport. These may be manned fo1
racing, and, per contra, the ones con.
templated for racing may, on occasion,
be sacrificed to love and beauty. In
either event, it looks as though the re.
gattas Of the summer would be made
doubly interesting by these large canoe
races, each boat with a crew of probably
twelve to fifteen paddlers. -Harper's
Weekly.
