ACCIDENT AT A CIRCUS.
A High Diver Has a Narrow Escape From
Drowning In a Big Tank.

One OF the new features which was to
have been presented at circus at New
York recently was us follows:
William Andrce was TO dive from the
dome of the Garden into the pool tied up
In a sack. He was to make an entire
change Of costume under water and emerge
in the character Of Mcphistopheles with
In two minutes from the time of striking
the water. In the forenoon, while rehears-
ing, hc met with mishap, which came
very near costing him his life.
In performing his feat Mr.. Andrce Is
tied up in n gunny sack and elevated over
the middle Of the pool by means Of "A rope.
There Is a trip snap on the rope, which is
sprung when the proper height has been
attained, and the swimmer falls headlong
into the water.
He was dropped according to programme,
and the other employees waited anxiously
for him to reappear. I'll
One minute passed, and no sign of the
daring performer could be seen. A min
ute and a half--a minute and three-quar-
ters-two minutes-then the startled show
people saw the bag come slowly to the
surface and again slowly descend.
Lewis Golden, the high diver, dived into
the water, fully dressed as he was, and re-
appeared, bearing the inanimate body Of
Andree.
Then 1t was seen that Andree had be-
come entangled in the covering in such a
manner as to render him absolutely help
less, and he was all but dead. Medical at
tendance was at hand and he was resusci-
tated.-New York Herald.

The Spanish Army.

Havana must be a brave sight these
days. There are more officers of the rank
of general in the Spanish army than in
any other known. When troops are sent
to any place, the gorgeously attired field
marshals and others of minor rank swarm
like flies in summer. Gold lace, decora-
tions, batons and red cloaks are SO much
in evidence that 1t is relief to rest the
eye by gazing on private soldier. An
American girl who went to several balls
at Melilla, in north Africa, during the
Spanish operations against Riff tribesmen,
told afterward how she never danced with
anybody of less rank than a field marshal
If the Spaniards had less military etiquette
and fewer commanders they might be
more successful in keeping Cuba quiet

BOSTON, April 18.-In the senate the bill

especial reference to the Boston con-

No Further Dancer.

BOSTON, April 18. - Tho freshet has
reached its elimination, and in almost all
parts of New England the waters of the
rivers and streams are slowly reccding
within their ordinary boundaries. The
Connecticut at Brattleboro and Bellows
Falls, VT. fell several feet, and there is
now little anxiety regarding the great
mass of logs which broke away Monday
at McIndoes Falls. The farm lanas
up and down the valley are so widely sub.
merged that u large financial loss for the
farmers is estimated on account of the
drifting in of sand and debris The effect
of the freshets up north are being felt
with increasing force around Springfield,

The monarchy of Madagascar is
elective, and on April l, 1868, the
choice of the Hova Government fell
upon cousin of the cruel Queen, who
assumed the name of Ranavalona IL.
The new reign began with the inaugu-

Christianity was recognized as the ma

port are crocodile skins, india-rubber,
wax and coffee.
Mr.. Waller, the late American Con-
sui of Tamatave, obtained monopoly
of the india.rubber trade, and conse-
quently the United States is much in
terested in the trade carried on be-
tween New York and the port of Mad
agascar. Doubtless the circumstance
that the American cruiser Castine has
been ordered to proceed to the east
coast of Africa has something to do
with the interest which is felt in the
trade carried on between Madagascar
and this country.
The cultivation of the silkworm is
an occupation particularly suitable to
the women and children of Madagas-
car. And very beautiful silk is manu-
factured on the island. This branch
of trade is capable of very great de-
velopment, as silk cocoons can be pro-
duced to meet almost any demand.
The productions of the country are
such as may we'll excite the cupidity
of foreign conqueror. Silver and
copper exist in certain portions OF the
island, and specimens of gold sand
have been brought from the central
provinces. The interior districts
abound with iron, and iron ore is so
abundant in the mountain of Ambo-
himangivo that it is called by the ma
tives the "iron mountain.
The valleys of the island are exceed
ingly fertile. They are clothed with
rich and luxuriant verdure and
abound with rice, the staple food o;
the natives. The rivers of Madagas'
car are numerous and many of them
are of considerable width. The
