GIGANTIC REVOLVING TOWER.
French lngenOity Is Again to the

French lngenCity Is Again to tho

France started the ball with the
Eitfel tower, says London Invention.
England endeavored to go one better
with the Wembley, which is still in an
embryo stage and appears likely to re-
main so, while our American cousins
struck a bright and novel idea in the
Ferris revolving wheel, which was aft
erward introduced into England, and
last season went merrily round, except
when it occasionally stopped and re-
CURED more or less coaIng ere it re-
sumed its daily round" AS a fact,
our readers will remember it once had
"a night out" on its own account. Now
French ingenuity is once again to the
fore, and this time the idea is to con-
struct a lofty building that will spin
slowly, like majestic top. The festive
Farisians are, it is stated, to have this
novelty in their midst, the site chosen
being near the summit of Montmartre,
the highest point within the fortifica-
tions of the gay city. The conception
of this big revolving tower (about half
the height of the EiffeD is credited 10
NJ. Devic. The motive power for turn
ing the structure, a complete revolution
of which would occupy about two min
utes, would be hydraulic force. The
upper part of the building would be oc-
cupied by public ballroom, in which
dancing would take place from eleven
p. m. TO two a. H., while below this it
is intended to cor struct an artificial ice
skating rink.

CALLED HIM DOWN,
The Old Judge Got Tired of Hearing the
Loud-Voiced Young Orator

Out in one of the pretty towns of
eastern Washington is a good looking
halfway sort of newspaper fellow who
is SO stuck on himself" and is so full
of egotism that he is an offense to the
gods themselves, says the Northwest
Magazine. He is also very loud-voiced.
Wherever he may happen to be-in q
busy office or drawing-room-his self
important voice and proprietary manner
fill every inch of space and make life
burdensome to everyone else.
A few days ago a local political club
was organized. At the clubs first regu-
lar meeting goodly number of solid
citizens was present and deep interest
was manifested. One or two very sen.
sible addresses had been made, when
our would-be Adonis arose and began
to speak. He took the position that the
others were all wrong. They didn't
understand these great questions and
he would set them right. And then, in
Il loud voice, he began to demonstrate
his monumental asninity. After awhile
an old gray-headed judge arose directly
in front of the orator, and pointing q
finger at him, said
John, if you would only go out on
some illimitable desert and let off your
wind there you would confer 4 lasting
boon on your suffering townsmen and
relieve the atmosphere of stupendous
quantity of noXious g3S.'

"Was it some kind of cake or some

Two Horses,

The editor of the New York Christian
Advocate learned not long since from
coachman that horses are not unlike
human beings. He writes: riding
in friends carriage one day, we no.
ticed that the coachman made constant
efforts to restrain one of the horses and
to hasten the other. As the pair were
handsomely and perfectly mated, we
said: What is the difference between
these horses, that you are constantly
touching mp one and holding in the
other? Said he: The one that | whip
cannot possibly overwork himself. 1
will not say that he is lazy, but he is so
made up that he never can and never
will do himself any damage. 1t would
be impossible to whip him so hard that
he would hurt himself. The other can
trot n mile in less than 2:25, and would
trot from the love of it until he dropped
dead. Hot OF cold. he does his BEST"

LINCOLN'S HAT A FOOTBALL.
After the Result of the Election Ens
Been Announced.


The favorite hat worn by Abraham
Lincoln was tail ''stovepipe." 1t has
been described as a foot high, with %
brim almost as wide as southern SOM
brero. Many anecdotes are connected
with that famous tall hat. In it Mr.. Lin
coin carried many OF his valuable pa
pers, the briefs of his law cases and
other documents, says the Youths Com
panion.
On the night Of Mr.. Lincoln's election
to the presidency several ladies who had
gathered at the old homestead at
Springfield testified their glee by using
the hat as a football.
A few of US went to assist Mrs. Lin
coin about the supper which was to be
given some gentlemen who had come
in to hear the returns. 1t was after mid
night before enough had been learned
to warrant the belief that our candidate
was elected. We went nearly wild with
joy and congratulated Mr.. Lincoln most
heartily.
Some one saw the famous "stovepipe"
in the hall, and, selling it, threw it up
to the ceiling. Another caught it, and
then it went the rounds till it fell on the
floor, when one gave it kick and then
another and another gave it send off
till it was so battered that it had lost
all resemblance to its original shape.
Mr.. Lincoln looked on and smiled good
naturedly at the childish performance.

times they have a dance, and once the
watchers from the high Office buildings

organ grinder on the roof to play the

have it.
Once in awhile some of the young

Fooled by nm Old GacecE

White, of Kentucky, while speaker of
the house in the Twenty-seventh con-
gress, was so pressed with business
that, when he had to deliver his vale
dictory, he got one of those men who
are always on hand to make little
money to write his address. 1t was
handed him just II little while before
the time he had to deliver it, and he
put it in his POCKET without reading it.
When the time came he rose and, slow
ly unfolding the manuscript, read the
address. 1t was very brilliant, but it
was Aaron Burr's famous valedictory
to the senate. The speaker never re-
covered from the shock. He went
home, was taken i'll, and it is supposed
he killed himself for shame.

WNoNA, n. D., Feb. 1S.--A horrible
sextuple tragedy was discovered one
mile from this place to day on the
ranch of Rev. Thomas Spicer. The
mutilated bodies OF Mr.. aud Mrs.
Spicer, their daughter, Mrs. William
Rouse, with her year old twin boys
and the aged Mrs. Waldron, mother
of the postmaster of this place, were
found scattered about the ranch
There is as yet no positive clue to the
perpetrators of the crime.
The appearances about the ranch,
the condition of the bodies and some
other circumstances have led to the
suspicion that the murder was com
mitted by Indians and this suspicion
was in part started from the known
fact that one Indian was seen in the
neighborhood of the ranch yesterday.
Then the bodies were terribly mutt
lated with axes and clubs, which fact
Is taken at least 20 partially corrobo-
rate the suspicion of the Indian muir

MUSIC IN NERVOUS DISORDERS.
Alleged Gure OF Child Due to Chopin's
Somber Waltzns.

The value of music in the treatment
before now been called attention to by
physicians. One advantage perhaps of
this therapeutical agency is that in the
event of its doing no good It is not like
the Gazette Medicale attention was
drawn TO the remarkable result attend
ing the administration of music to
little girl of three, who was afflicted
with serious nervous disorders, result
ing in epilepsy and paroxysms of fear,
which kept her awake all night. The
ordinary remedies, including bromide
of potassium, were tried without any
effect, and at last the physician recon-
mended the mother to play some soft,
rather melancholy music to her daugh
ter before putting her to bed. Chopin
was recommended, especially the
waltzes in the minor key. The remedy
worked like charm, for it is said that
from the night the child went to bed
under the influence of music she lost
all her nervous symptoms and slept
without waking until the morning. In
order to prove that this was not the re-
suit of mere chance, the music was
omitted on one evening, and the child
passed night of misery, not SO intense
as before the adoption of the treatment,
but still very marked.

Just before the Christmas holidays, as
in this case, and a visit to the Cuban port
in the winter season is not without its
attractions. The proposed trip, how
ever, rather disturbed the Spanish min
ister. He knew the Delligerent pro-
pensities of Chandler and Call and he
FASTENED to the state department. with
a dispatch from Madrid, anxious to
learn whether the investigation was
proposed with peaceable intent.
Secretary Foster listened to the ex-
cited minister with great suavity.
There is no occasion for ALARM" he
said, reassuringly. "You know that
the holiday recess is approaching and
these senators are simply arranging for
a pleasure trip. I am sure there is moth
ing else in it."
A great light of intelligence broke
over the Spanish minister's face.
"Oh," he exclaimed, "a peek-neeb, a
peek-neell!"
And he went away much relieved.
