The Tornadoes or tne Idtst Iterade-The Orest Storm, of tne Past. The occurrence of great and destructi ve storms is frequently marked in history. I'ernapj the mon terrible one on record is what ia known as the ereat storm of xsovemDer 2b-27. 103, in inclanu and throughout Europe. In that frightful tempest, lasting throughout the greater part ot two davf, the number of persons drowned in the Thames and Severn, and lost on the coast in ships blown from their moorings and never heard ot afterward, was estimated at pight thousannd souls. Thb loss of property sustained in London alone, by wind and flood, was estimated at the enormous sum of 3,000,000 pounds sterling. In the county of Kent a great number ot trees were torn up by their roots, the great Eddystone lighthouse was completely destroyed, and immense numbers of cattle wert killed and drowned. In the West Indies, from the 3d to the 18th of October, 1780, terrible hurricanes devastated the whole country. At Uar- badoes over 4,000 inhabitants lost their lives in this tempest, and the destruction of British and ether vessels in West In dia harbors was frightful. Another ter rible hurricane visited the Island of Bar badoes. August 10, 1831. In this tem pest over 2,500 inhabitants were killed and over 5,000 wounded. Many of our readers will remember the fearful hurricane which swept over Ohio and states lying to. the westward aa far as Iowa in June, of the year 1860. The violence of the wind which attended this great storm, was declared by many to have been without a parallel. Great destruction to trees, crops, roofs and ves sels, and some ljss of life were the results along the broad tract of this tempest, reaching in width for many miles. In the year lebb, tremendous gaies swept across the American lakes and the Atlantic coast, from the 0th to the 11th of January. The same hurricane reached Europe, and the steamer Amelia went down with a cargo valued at $1,000,000. Many wrecks and great loss of life were reported in various countries, showing that an unusual atmospheric perturbation pervaded the globe at the same time. , A frightful destructive storm was the tropical hurricane which struct the coast of Nova Scotia with terrible fury on the 24th and 25th of August, 1873. The loss of me was IrighttuI, and that or property was estimated at the time from four to rive million of dollars. About nine hundred houses were destroyed, the damage done to warves ana crops could carceiv be calculated ana the num ber of vessels known to have been de stroyed during the 24th and 25th of Au gust was 1,032. In the neighborhood ot the gulf ot ttt. Liawrence ana tne Atlan tic shores of Nova Scotia and Newfound land the loss of life was not proportion ately large, being estimated at less than five hundred in all. It is notable that the month of June) 1871, was prolific in thunder and rain storms, especially in the western states. The 16th of June there was an awful tor nado at Eldorado, Kansas, that nearly destroyed the whole town. On the 18th, at several points in Wisconsin, violent and destructive tornadoes were reported. The same day a terrific hurricane at Scranton, Iowa, demolished houses and carried light buildings ten rodst killing the inmates. The same day Westerville, Iowa, reported a terrible tornado, nd the vicinity of Springfield, Illinois, was vii-ited by an awful cyclone, pulling up trees and whirling lences in tne air. un the 19th of June the same year, (1871), there was a terrific thunder and rain storm, flooding the country iu Kansas and Minnesota, and on the 20th of the same month there was a great storm on Lake Superior, attended with furious winds from all points of the compas (whirlwinds), twirling the waves into spires, or water-spouts, and attended by a destructive tidal wave at Duluth, Min nesota. On the 9th of July, 1871, Dayton, Ohio, was visited by a violent ternado, in the path of which many houses were demolished and churches and bridges blown down, several persons being killed, and the total damage to property in tho city and country estimated at at least one million dollars. Cincinnati Commercial. Spirit of the Agricultural Press. It is a mistaken notion that book knowledge is opposed to the practical. There is much practical knowledge that cannot be obtained outside of books or their equivalent. The captain of a ves tal is a practical sailor; to is the man be fore the mast. But while both can reef a Bail equally well, the latter would run the vessel to destruction, perhaps, if placed in command. There is a science in navigation that cannot be learned by simply performing the duties of a com mon sailor. It murt be obtained from books, and the men who safely conduct the thousands of vessels from one port to another, across the boundless ocean, demonstrate how eminently practical this book knowledge is. It is just so in farming. Holding the plow, driving the machine, pitching hay, sowing grain and making cider, is all practical work, that must be learned just as a sailor must serve his time before the mast ere he can aspire te the command of the vessel. And betore the farmer can take the higher position of a commander, he must learn something of the science of agri culture, and this can no more be learned by holding the plow than the science of navigation can be by reefing sails.

And yet there is no convenience for a lady who is the mother of a large family like a pliant and well hung flipper. THE MAHYJIPtP MINISTER.

Comments, SuKKealions, Prophecies, Msr alialnr and DlnaTnosinv ojr IhsPren of the 4'onntry on the Reign of Terror. I Brooklyn Lagle. " A QTJF.STION OF FORCE AGAINST FORCE. It is not a question now either of right or wrong, it will become that hereafter. It is now a question of force against force, uapitaf has called on authority, Law has been invoked by business, to display its thunderc. The organized military has been set against the organ ized strikers. A new vocation has been created the one of dttressing mutinous labor. If the case of the strikers was a hard one, there is evidence enough that theie were hundreds or thousands in harder lot. lhe places they threw up because they were earning little, are sought for, tea seekers to one place, by those who were earning nothing. It is against the most distressed of their brethren in straits that the strikers fee! more anger now than anybody else. The men who have thrown up work for poor pay do not want to kill the men who paid them so little, as their think, half so eagerly as they want to kill them who are glad to get work at any price. Their hrst Quarrel was against camtal. Uhev are now warring on aa much of pauper ism as sees a chance to get a Jiving by labor. The rest of Dauoerism. esrieciallv the vicious part of it, is allying itself with the crime that is meditating raids on society in its dive.3, its gutters find boosing kens. AN INSURRECTION, NOT A STRIKE. (New York Herald.) The men who are blockading roads, burning cars, attacking troops, breaking open and sacking shops, throwing stones into moving trains, are fcot strikers) thejr are rioters; it is not a strike, btic art in surrection, and it has not a hope of suc cess. It may still farther cripple the railroad companies and disable them from paying fair wages; it may put the public to great inconvenience, loss and expense; but it will be crushed out; and when tne end-eonics, after all thedisjrraee such anarchical attempts bring upotl the country and upon the workmen, what good will have been accomplished; A QUEER SHARING OF GOODS. (New York World.) I!?ave in the matter of light and fire. which just at the present are not trying necessities withthe poor of Pittsburg, it is difficult to see how the wholesale burn ing of Droriertv can be looked upon as a sharing of tbe goods of the rich with the tiodr. It is only a man who Deneves with Jack Cade that the Hhree hoeped pot should have seven hoops" who can be brought to suppose tnat destruction is distribution, as to these distinguished but annoymona Internationalists it seems to be. THE STRIKERS PLAYING WITH FIRE. (Detroit Post.) This violence and riot brings the com munity and the rioters face to face. If the spirit which is now rampant among railroad employes shall win a victory, it will be at the expense of the prosperity of the country. No country can thrive when nronertv is at the mercv ot lawless ness and mob violence. Such acts as disgrace the country to-day are the same in epirH and character as those which make Mexico and South American re publics so contemptibly weak. It makes no difference to property owners, or those who are ambitious to own property, whether their property is liable to destruction at the hands of revolutionary politicians or revolutionary labor leagues. All countries where property is at the mercy of mob law go down into the gulf of destruction, and there is no help lor them If reckless men can thus imperil railroad property at a moment's warnirg, they are fast bringing the country to rt condition where people will not build and run railroads, or will do it under a despotic, arbitrary government that will make short work with such anarchy. That will mean a different sort of country and government from what wa have at present. It Will mean some sort ot gov ernment that docs not depend upon the Votes ol the mass ot people cut of wnicn such mob3 are engendered. This means a separation of society into classes, tbe degradation of tbe laboring classes, and a deprivation of opportunities to rise iu the social scale. It means, in ihort, a conversion of the America which is the favored home of the working classes into an America which will no longer enjoy that distinction. These strikers are playing with fire, and sooner or later they will burn the roofs over their own heads unless they bio out theif torches. SIMPLY OUTLAWS. (Cleveland Herald ) As for the men who defy the law, re sist its officers, wantonly burn and destroy property, and to threats and violence add arson, robbery and murder, they are simply outlaws, and should be treated as such. It is monstrous that the business of the whole country should be paralyzed, travel stopped, the mails ihipeded, cities given over to a reckless and murderous rabble, and the power of half a dozen states and of the national government de fied by a mob of rioters. The nation is disgraced bv such proceedings as thoseat Pittsburg, lleadinsr, Baltimore and other places where the mob have had theif sway. Society will be in peril unless such lawlessness is supt repsed promptly and those inciting and participating in it are severely punished. It is not now a question of wages, but of the common safety. It is not an issue between rail road companies and employes, but be tween order and anarchy. THE VICIOUS ELEMENT ON TOP. (Cincinnati Garette ) Ajs it is here, so everywhere ; the idle, vicious and criminal elements are on top They have subdued the workingmen. These every where stand impotently by and see the subsistence of their families taken from them. All over the country there is a stoppage of movement which will bring immediate distress for food on the whole population, besides the monetary disturbance which will greatly increase the distress of business men and of all classes. As soon aa reflection and the realization of all this weak sacrifice shall come, the workingmen will be ashamed of their folly that accepted their worst enemies as leaders, and of their weakness that stood by as helpless as sheep, and let a few roughs drive them from their subsistence. HOW IT HAPPENED. (Buffalo Courier.) Given the presence of a curious crowd, a parcel of half-grown young miscreants, the cover of darkness, and a body of men AN D AUGUST 10, 1877. in uniform as a convenient mark for the missiles most pavements afford, there is nothing, to hinder a street conflict, at tended witn more or less serious results. From all accounts yet received the Balti more riot was an affair of this unpremed itated description. The pity of it is that when the military are goaded into using their arms, the victims are nearly always persons who had no quarrels with the troops, and merely kept with the crowd to see what would happen next. But their presence helped to swell the mob and encourage the real rioters. Such victims die as the fool dieth. Their fate suggests only this question What brought them there? . BOTH WERE WRONG. (Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazette.) The reduction of wages was made with out consulting the workmen, and the strike without consulting the officers of the roads. Both were wrong. Nor can matters be set right by the strikers de claring that property shall not be moved till their demands are met, any more than under the demand of the railroad officials that there shall be absolute sub- missson to their demands. We are not, in this, discussing the right or wrong of either party that is a matter by ltselr, to be hereafter considered. Now, the community wants peace. It has a right te demand it. Neither party can stand in the way of this demand. If the strikers continue their course, public opprobrium will tail on them, and so or the others. We must have peace at all hazards, " MUST BE QUELLEO AT WHATEVER PRICE." (Philadelphia North American.) Such violence must be met by the logic of force; must bt quelled at whatever price. When this organized revolt has been so quelled, as it will be : when the law has been vindicated ; when the pro moters ot neeedlens sutlenng have been made to snare that sullenng, and busf ne3s revives from an attack long assured, every activity will awaken and the country will make a great advance. All the discussions which view the railway riots to-aav as ordinary disturbances over look an important and the gravest factor. There may be sympathy lor those who are misled and those who are Killed under mistaken ideas participating in a great wrong. That sympathy is first challenged lor the nation, whose indus tries are nipped while in the flower ; for .

(Vicksbnrg Herald ) It is hard to get up a feeling for the ch corporations who pay their presi dents, vice-presidents, manager?, super intendents, etc., immense salaries, and who attempt to cut down the already pitiful amount paid to the laborers to a still smaller sum. Some of the officials on these railroads get as much as fifty thousands dollars avear, and all of the higher officials get salaries out of all proportion to the wages paid those who do all the hard work.

Onr Railroad System. The railway system of the United States was one of the objects of which the engineers of Russia, Germany, Aus tria, Australia, and many other govern ments made a particular study last year, during the exhibition. It appeals from a report made by Mr. Morris, the com-mir-siener from New South Wales, that the engineers generally concurred in an unqualified admiration of American railways and railway materials, the superiority of which, in many respects, they ad mitted. Instituting a comparison with England, Mr. Morris explains in part, why this country is so far ahead as to railways, by saying : " Some improve ment is being made every day in Amer ica ; and when it is remembered that there are in the States and Canada more than eighty thousand miles oi railroad, it is not surprising that ths engineers, many of whom are English, on so many miles, should be in seme things in ad vance of theirEnglish brethren, who have only seventeen thousand miles of railroad to design for." Mr. Morris recommends tVin o-pnpral use of our engines, our switches, etc., in Australia, and remarks " I would av once for all, in recom-.. mending trials of American railway plant, I am actuated solely by a desire to save the colony money, and to provide, al the same time, superior material to that hitherto imported.

The great sea-wave ; which after the recent earthquake at Peru, swept across tne racihc to the bandwicn islands, af fords fresh illustration of the vital energy which still pervades the frame of our earth, it those theories be sound accord mg to which each planet during its ex treme youth is as a sun glowing with fiery heat, and in extreme old age is, like our moon) cold (save where the sun's rays pour upon it), even to its very centre. we should regard the various portions of the middle age ot a planet as indicating more or less ot vitality according as the signs of internal heat and activity were greater or less. Assuredly, thus viewing our earth, we have no reason to accept tbe melancholy doctrine that she is ap proaching the stage of planetary decrep itude. She still shows signs of intense vitality, not, indeed, that all parts other surface are moved at this present time by what Humboldt called "the reaction of ber interior." In this respect, doubtless, changes slowly take place, the region of disturbance becoming after many centu rtes a region or rest, and vice versa, But regarding the earth as a whole, we find reason for believing that she still has abundant life in her. lhe astronomer who should perceive, even with the aid of the most powerful telescotie. the s-icrna of anv change in another planet (Mars, ... . t tor example, our nearest neighbor among the suoerior planets), the progress of the change being actually discernible as he watched, would certainly conclude that that planet was moved by mighty inter nal forces. Now, it is not too much to say, though at first it may perhaps seem so that the mighty sea-wave which, on Mav 10, rushed in upon the shores of the (VfYtiin af KflnHarinli lalanlo n'fin 1 1 liava been discernible from Venus, supposing hu tiuserver iur uuu ueeu waicmug tne .1 a i i i . i . i earth with a telescope as powerful as the best yet made on this earth, lhe wave was caused, as we know, by a tremendous disturbance in feru a few hours earlier. Here, at least, was the centre of subter ranean action, for a land wave also travel ed from that region along the Pacific coast of Mexico, and was felt in tbe Sand wich isles, where the Kilanea volcano was set in motion almost at the same time that the sea-wave came in. But there can be no doubt whatever that, as in the case of the great Peruvian earthquake of August, lobs, the sea-wave had its origin not in the local subterranean disturb ances, but in the great upheaval by which lauiciue and other places were destroyed We shall, no doubt, hear before long, as in that case, ef the arrival of the great wave at the Samoa isles, at the Japanese archipelago, on the shores of N ew Zea land, Australia, and so forth. Now, the great circular wave which spread on May 10th last from the 1'eruvian shore as a centre, athwart the entire Pacific, was probably not felt bv a single ehin in the open sea. anv more man tue sun vaster wave of the 13th and 14th of August, 1868, and for the same reason. With a height of seme fifteen feet (or thirty feet vertical difference between crest and hol low), the ware had yet so gentle a slope that, though it rushed at the rate ot three or four hundred miles an hour across the Pacific, the rise and fall of a ship upon its sunace wouia oe aitogetner impercep tible. The great sea-wave, as Mallett tn II 1 . Vi 1 1 f . . long since pointed out, consists, in the deep ocean of " a long, low swell of enor mous volume, having an equal slope before and behind, and that so gentle that it might pass under a ship without being noticed." And we are told, irt fact, by modern writers that during the rush of the great sea-wave across the Pacific on Aug. 13, 14, 1858, though where the wave reached island rhores it seemed as though the land were first sinking bodily into the ocean and then rising bodily out of it, " there was not one among the hundreds of vessels which were sailing upon the Pacific when it was traversed bv the sea wave in which any unusual motion was perceived." How, then, it may be asKea, can we suppose that a wave which was not per ceived by those actually sailing upon the ocean traversed by it. could have been visible with suitable telescopic power from a distant planet? The very circum stance which rendered the rise and fall of ships upon the sea-waves of 1868 and of last May imperceptible, assures us that the progress of the wave would so have been visible. Besides itsenormous range in lencth. for when it struck the Sand wich isles its crest must have formed the arc of a great curve, having for radius thedistance of sixty-three hundred miles, separating that group from Teru, the wave haa great breadth, otherwise, its height being about thirty feet, the rapid advance of the wave would bare caused a rapid rise and fall, instead of a slow mo- - ai,.nm t,iw niuiarniriiu u , ,, i, i iik hihiiit. ,.- . 1 J. III. . I lines. Probably the distance from val ley to valley, on either side of the mighty crest of the wave, was not less than two hundred miles in the open sea. So far as mere dimensions, then, are concerned, the great wave would certainly have been visible from a Planet placed as Venus is When most favorably situated for observing the earth. To show this, it is only necessary to point out that Venus is then much nearer to us than Mars ever is. that the entire diameter of Mars isbut about forty-five hundred miles, while the radius ot tbe great wave, when it reacnea the Sandwich isles, was fully six thou snnd miles, and that its probable breadth Of two hundred miles very far exceeds the breadth Of many of the well-known markings upon the planet Mars. But it mav be asked how the wave would become discernible at all viewed m it were, from above, new siiguio an observer in Venus know that the highest part of the wave was thirty leet or so near er to him than the hollow of the valleys on either side ot it? The way in which the wave would become visible corresponds in some degree to the way in which those strong radiations which extend from sev eral of the lunar craters are visiuie, though they have very little elevation, cast no perceptible shadows, and are many of them undiscernible when other lunar features are clearly seen, and be come discernible only when those other features arc scarcely visible at all. Un der the sun's rays, "the two opposite fces of the advancing waves would be differ entlr illuminated. One face, a hundred broad, be it remembered, would riitrh th6 lisht more fully than the ocean as yet undisturbed, while the other wrmld patch th light less fully.

Pacific be traceable, aud the tran sience of the phenomenon quickly recog nized, it would afford observers on that planet the clearest evidence of the ac tivity ot subterranean forces within ur earth. Those among the observers liv ing on Venus who were not contei t merely to observe, but exercised aleo their reaboning faculties to determine the meaning of what they saw, would per ceive that on or about Aug. 13-14, 186S, and again on May 10 latt. tremendous throes had shaken some portion of tbe southern half or' that long double conti nent lvine north and south which they have long since recognized on our globe; that the waters of the. ocean bad thus been mightily disturbed; and that a great wave, or rather a succession of great waves, had swept across the largest -f the VOL. XXIII. NO. 4, errestrial oceans. They would bo able even, by noting the velocity and varia tions of velocity of the great wave, to determine the depth ot the Pacific ocean. and the manner according to which the depth varies in the neighborhood of dif ferent island groups. It is net altogether impossioie, indeed, that what we have here described may actually haveoc- cured though on neither of the oc caaions when the Pacific has of late been A 1 -m r swept Dy a sea-wave was venus verv suitably placed lor- observing our planet, Apart from thoughts such as those. there is much in a phenomenon like this great sea-Wave well worth con sidering. When we lecognize in the sub terranean rorces I our earth an energy competent to disturb the entire surface of the Pacific, we perceive how vain are the fears ot those who imagine that the earth's Vulcanian energies are nearly ex hausted. There is nothing to shew that at any time of which geologv affords evidence throes more mrghty than these which have shaken Peru and Chili within the last half century have disturbed any portion of the earth's frame. In former times indeed, when geologists were &c- customed to regard the processes of an entire era as completed in a single throe, men might as well believe that the earth had sunk into relative quiescence. But now that close study has enabled them to separate the effects of one process from those of another, to recognize not in full, perhaps, but in great degree the innu ence ot time as an important lactor in geological development, they are able to make a juste r comparison between past and present disturbances. The result is that, although we cannot doubt that the earth is parting with the heat which is the source of its Vulcanian energies, we find every reason to believe that the I033 or energy is taking place so slowly that at 1 - 1 . . tne uimiuution uuriug muuy geucruLions is altogether imperceptible.

About two weeks ago the Brook field Coal company completed a tunnel to their mines. Previous to this the com pany had hauled out their coal by mule- power, when tne tunnel was in reaui ness a small locomotive was introduced, but it did not work well with soft coal or coke, and anthracite coal was tried as an experiment. For three trips it proved successful. Then it was observable that the tunnel was filling with sulphuric gas. At the fourth trip the brakemen wereoxercome bv the noxious gas, sua fell to the ground insensible. The en gineer managed to get the locomotive riif orifl travn t.fiA alarm A lurtrfl nil m - Kpr'nf ,,. instantlv rushed in to rescue the miners. All were affected and fell uncon8ciou8. This state of affairs con- tinued until twenty-three men had en- tered the tunnel. Squads of four were then formed. They entered the tunnel, caught up a miner and carried him out of the bank, and- turned him over to the physicians present, who did all in their power to resuscitate the men. In this way the work went on till thirty uncon scious and six dead miners were brought out. The excitement spread to the Cleve land shaft and Wood's bank, adjoining. Eight men fiem these two mines, labor ing under the impression that other mi ners were in the tunnel, rushed in, and all succumbed to the deadly gas. f these, five were shortly afterwards brought out insensible and the three others dead. Among the first to enter the tunnel to save his comrades was John Jones, the mine boss. He had proceeded about a quarter of a mile when he fell, and an hour later was taken out dead. He was J0 years old, and leaves a wife and large family. The scenes that took place as the dead and dying miners were being brought out were agonizing, .nioiners ana wives, sisters and brothers ot the miners ran around distracted, crying and wringing their hands over the dead bodies of their dear ones. One woman lost her husband and two grown-up sons. Her griet gave vent in shriek after shriek, as she alter nately embraced her dend. It was a scene that never could be forgotten. The excitement seized upon the crowd, and fnr the time many acted like lunatics. Grim, coal-black miners huddled together like so many sheep, completely panic stricken. The engineer of tne locomotive, after he had given the alarm, threw up nis arms, staggered wildly, and, uttering in coherent words, became insinsible. A grief-stricken wife threw nersen on t.h dend body of her husband, rolling over with the corpso tightly clasped in her arms, all the time crying hysterically, and cursing God and every living human being. . , Three sisters surrounoea tne ixxiy oi a holnirerl lirot.hpr. and refused to allow the physicians to strip the body, to afford greater facility in their endeavors to re vive the sparic 01 me. Aauaiority ot the sunerers were men with Tamilies, and their untimely death falls with double force upon their poor wives and children. The manner in which most of the victims encountered death, trying to save the lives of their imperiled comrades, speaks volumes in praise of the heroism of the miners. Sharon (Pn.) Cor. Chihago Timet. Railroad Points. The reports of the gross earnings of twenty-tbree railroads from January 1 to June 30, 1877, show a loss compared with the same period of 1876 of ?2,22 1, 366, or about 6 per cent. But an analy sis of the reports shows that fourteen roads, earning $28,337,900 in 1876, have lost $2,806,099, or about 10 per cent., while nine roads which in 1876 earned $7,633,400, have .gained $581,233. Ol thirteen roads whose -earnings are only reported up to May 31, nine have lost $1,803,462 and four have gained . 171, 325. It is a noticeable fact that the roads reporting again are principally those in the southwest; the prominent rnnt.inn the Canada Southern.

Tue rainfall is measured by means of an instrument called a rain-guage, which consists generally of a funnel opening for collecting the rain as it fall", and a smaller tube below, into which the co lected water runs. Supjiose tho funnel opening be ten inches diameter, then, because the areas ei ci rcies are proportional to the squares of their diameters, tho one-hundredth part of an inch of rainfall would fill the tube to the depth of one inch, and a very small quantity ol rain could be measured accurately. In prac tice the ratio between tb dimeimions is not generally so great as abovn stated, but the principle is the same. The rain is collected into it smaller area of base than the area on which it falls, and this arrangement has the double advantage of permitting accurate measurement and having a email surface from which the water can be lost by evaporation. The rain-gauge should not, be placed 111 a sheltered locality, and its height above the ground should be 110 greater than sufficient for due exposure and safety. trictlv sneaking, tho average rainlall of a whole county will seldom lie exactly equal to that of any one spot in the county; but unlets the location of tho rain-gauge lie improperly chosen, the dif ference will be small.

New York World : Those who go to Harry Hill's perhaps not niHny who read this pajer will have noticed a fa vorite performer there who sang songs in high falsetto voice, and who accompanied herself on the drum. She was sure of the recall, and, most times, two or three. Her song-and-drum solo of Saturday night was not less well received than Ufual, but she did not resoiid to tho clapping of hands and the stamping of feet that gathered in force as she still failed to appear ; and it was only by a ruse that tbe manager was enabled at last to divert his motley audience's atten tion from their insistent demand. But, whether or not. the manager had suc ceeded, this little actress could not, for the life of her, have faced the crowd that night. Mile. Claire, to ber name was on the bills, though that is not what tthe is called at her now cheerless home, is married to a shiftless person, nnd sup ports husband and child on the pittance that she got for her stape work. This evening she left tbe little girl, bnrt ly ten months old, in her garret-room, hick una feverish. It needed, above all things, a mother's care ; but variety performers. no 1ph than seamstresses and shop girls, and such worthless folk, have no right to indulge in the finer feelings when em ployers need their work. So she left the child in its father's charge and went to the theater. Close following her depar ture came a relapse, a convulsion, and what little life the child had was gone out to its Maker. The husband sought the show-bouse. "How is the child?" was ber first inquiry, and while his Hps declared to her that it was still sleeping' his manner lielied his words. He dared not tell all, lest her stage-work be imper riled. But to tbe other " ladies " of the troupe he mentioned the fact of the dead child at home; with strict injunctions that they were " not to tell her a word of it yet.'' Their faces and whispered words fanned the suspicion which was growing on her mind, but just then the stage-manager shouted, " Miss Claire will favor us with a song and drum chorus," and the drummer-girl stepped out belora the foot-lights with a curtsy, a salute, and a mirthless smile. She rattled off her part, and ruhhed back to the little dressing-room just in time to catch a half sentence, which told the truth. With a faint cry she dropped to the floor, the sticks falling from her pulseless band, her jaunty hat and leather rolling away beneath the heels of her hurrying sisters. The house meanwhile clamored for an encore. The stage-manager was beside himself, shouted to the orchestra for a clog-dance, and the crowd was satisfied. But behind the scenes the woman lay in her insensibility. Then she was taKen to her dead child, the shouts and stamping of the heedless throng following her m she stumbled out the door. Harry Hill had one drama of which the gaudy pou ters gave no hint. Snake and Insect Rites. If stung or bitten by an insect, snake or animal, apply spirit ef hartshorn very freely with a solt rag, because it is one of the strongest alkalis, and is familiar to most persons. The substance which causes the so-called poison from bites or stings is, as far as is ascertained, gene rally acid. Hence the hartshorn antag onizes it in proportion to the promptituda with which it is applied. If no hartshorn is at hand, pour a cup of hot water on a cup of cooking soda or saleratus, or evaa the ashes of wood just trom the stove or fire-place, because all these are stronj; al kalis, and hartshorn is only best becaus it is the strongest.
