FARM, GARDEN AM) HOUSEHOLD. (Jupstionn nn?I Answers. to destroy sumac. N. M., Peruville, N.Y., writes: "Can sumac be killed bv cutting, and if bo what time of ihe year is best suited to kill them? Or if they cannot be got rid of in that way, is there any other way to do it save bv cTubbine them ? I have nearly thirty acres that are more or less covered." Reply. ?The present time is the best to cut any sort of brush. Being in full vigor of growth, the check driven by close mowing with a brush scvi.:r or hook is generally fatal. A weak growth may sprout from the roots, anil a second cutting close to the ground next month will kill all but the most persistent of them. These should be plowed lip, and the roots gathered with the harrow. No better course could be pursued than this in th e case above mentioned. KEMEDT FOR FLEAS. 4'Westchester" writes: "Is there any remedy for fleas, either to keep them from swine, the house or the person? If there is any exterminator or means to keep them, especially from the house or person, I -would be very glad to know." Reply?Swine may be freed from fleas by keeping the pens clean, removing the bedding frequently, and by sprinkling the floor with kerosene oil or a solution of carbolic acid. The swine may be rubbed on the back and beneath the legs and shoulders with a mixture of four parts of sweet oil and one part of kerosene ou. To Iree tue person irom fle.is is very easy by nsiug perfect cleanliness in tlio clothing and bedding, and by keeping dogs and cats out of the house. It is generally the case that the source from which the dwelling-house is infested, is the stables, pig pens or poultry house, or dogs, cats and small vermin. As soon as the cause is removed the pest will cease. CULTURE OF CELERY. W. T. W., Oswego, X. Y., writes: "I have a number of celery plants set out, and wish for some information as to the proper time to keep the earth around them. Some tell me to keep the earth around them all the time, leaving only the leaves above the surface, and some tell me to let them get up a little and then put the earth around them. I have some trouble with the worms eating the leaves off and even the stalks level with the ground. The worm is about an inch long and one-eighth of an inch in diameter, and striped, and seems rather dormant. Please tell me what will kill them." Reply.?The proper method of culture of celery is to set out the plauts in narrow trendies about six inches deep and three feet apart. The plants are set about six inches apart in the rows. As the plants grow and reach above the surface of the ground, the stalks of each should be gathered together and the trench filled with loose earth, care being taken j not to permit any earth to get into the hearts of the plants. As they are planted pretty thickly, they will grow up tall, and will need no more attention until full grown, when they should be again handled, the stalks crathered. and the sarth banked up against them, leaving but six incites of the leaves above the top of the bank. The stalks then undergo what is known as the process of blanching, and need no more attention until the time for gathering them arrives. If the plants have been set out differently from the above method, it may be necessary to earth them frequently to force an upward growth of stalk. The only remedy for the worms is to pick them off by hand, or to water the plants with a solution of quassia. Farm >'ote?.. " Dressing fob Fruit Trees.?A barrel of ashes with eighty pounds of ground bone, made moist with water, will dissolve and constitute a good dressing for most fruit trees. Colic in* Horses.?An officer who commanded artillery during the late war informs us of the following remedy for colic in horses which he has tried with perfect success in hundreds of cases: Rub the horse well between the fore legs and around the girth with spirits of turpentine. Immediate relief follows. Ashes.?Do not allow ashes of any kind to be wasted. It will pay to haul leached ashes several miles, when one has Jiis own team and a laborer at fair wages. Coal ashes whan spread around berry bushes of any sort, or around grape tines, will aid materially in producing large and fair fruit. A correspondent of the Pacific Rural 1 Prest says: " The ouly effectual remedy ' for wire-worm I know of ia a thorough : cultivation of the soil. Those that are troubled with them will find by examining their soil that it is cold, and by stir- 1 ring it thoroughly it will get warmer. By so doing they will kill the wire-worm, ! as it cannot live in warm ground." Prevention* of Swarming.?A corre- 1 sponuent 01 nie cscc weepers magazine, iu relation to the swarming of bees, Bays : "AfterI have had all the increase I desire, when a hive shows an inclina tion to swarm I move it to the place of some weaker hive. In that way I make all my colonies strong, and when I have accomplished tlint object but still have a hive that threatens to swarm I change places with another, that may also showsigns of swarming. The change of workers destroys the propensity of swarming for the time being, and by giving them plenty of box room they will store honey, and if they are again inclined to swarm, you may move back again and it will have the effect." Keeping Down -ttte Wesds.?The Lomlou Garden remaks : " Tho only remedy for weeds is prompt destruction iu a young state. -Weeds are easily eradicated if never allowed to advance beyond the seed-leaf. Once let their roots run deep and wide, and their tops rise high, and then the weeds are mas tors iu the garden. It provokes one to 1 see the complacency with which some | ^ cultivators allow we*xls to establish I > themselves in flower beds or borders, or on roads and walks,and their subsequent futile efforts to subjugate them. Prompt destruction will vanquish tho very worst 1 of them. Plantains, grass, thistles and | docks, are perhaps the most difficult to < eradicate. But if by any neglect these , have gained a strong footing iu any garden, constant beheading alone will j destroy them. No plant can live long if j never allowed to form leaves or stems, | and the shortest, surest, easiest way to j eradicate the worst weeds is by incessant cutting off all their visible parts."

SANSON AND VIDOCQ. A Curlou* Dinner Party nt Which the Frcnch HeiuUnnin and the Celebrated Detective were Present. In a work called "The Recollections of Sir Jolm Bowring " we find the following: Appert once invited me to a dinner such as could only be given in Paris, the Riiests being Sanson, the hereditary executioner, Vidocq,the thiefcatcher, and some authors, artists, and i /7 TYtn/lA m> ncii. uauovu uuu ? iuuuv| iiiavio that occasion their first personal acquaintance, though they seem to have bad much connection with each other in their separate and singular spheres of action. Sanson talked very willingly of the management of the guillotine and of his son and successor, whom he afterward introduced to me. He said that the families of the different executioners in France almost always intermarried, and that there was a strong clanship among the members of this life-destroying community. He asked me to his house in order that he might exhibit the operation of the instrument of execution, and I went thither, accompanied by Lord Durham, Mr. Edward iillice on/1 ATv "nowonn Tinmor whnm lir <Tip way, I had known in Egypt, where his wife was introduced to old Mehemet Ali, whom she much amused. Snnson's house had quite an air of respectability and comfort. He showed us volumes which contained detailed records of what occurred at every public execution that had taken place in PariB. The books were very neatly kept, and bore the signatures of the parties who had assisted at the dread exhibitions. Some one asked Sanson whether, after decapitation, he had ever seen any movement in the head after its separation from the body, as a theory had been put forward that sensation was not immediately extinguished by the operation, but he said that he had never observed the slightest movement. He conducted us to a large outhouse in which the fatal machine was kept. It was painted scarlet, was prepaied, and the usual assistants were summoned, in order that we might witness the whole mode of proceeding. We were struck by the heaviness and sharpness of the knife, which, falling from a great height, could not but do its bloody work most effectually. While seated at dinner with M. Appert, Vidocq questioned Sanson as to the manner in which many acquaintances had met their death. He mentioned, among other things, that, when connected with the police, he had associated himself with a band of robbers and murderers, whom he promised to deliver over to the authorities while they were engaged in ft large Bcheme of plunder at the Batignolles. An arrangement was made by which, on his firing a pistol from a window, the house was to be surrounded and the felons captured, as they were. Vidocq said they never discovered his treachery until they saw him in the street on their way to execution. Probably no man knew more of the organization of the thieves and burglars in Paris than did Yidocq, whose own offenses were condoned when he was admitted into the service of the criminal police, of whom he became a most efficient instrument. He had also a little private profession of his own, and was frequently employed by individuals to assist in the detection and conviction of robbers. In his person there was no'. hing remarkable, but he was singularly self-possessed and disposed to be loquacious. Sanson, on the contrary, was a tall, heavy man, of taciturn habit, from whom informatian was only obtainable by its being specially sought. The son had rather a cadaverous appearance, but took little share, when his father was present, in the colloquies that passed. A Mexican Border Outrage. Colouel raschal of Corpus Cliristi, Texas, gives tlie following account of an outrage by banditti from across the Rio Grande: Hugh Scott, president of the Corpus Cliristi and Rio Grande railroad company, visited San Diego, about fifty-five miles from Corpus Christi, in company with a young man from Philadelphia, who was there for the purpose of disposing of some railroad iron. On their way back in an ambulance, and when ibout six miles from San Diego, they were halted by five Mexicans, who tied them to the ambulance and robbed them af their watcheB and money. Before releasing them the Mexicans saw another mibuluuce approaching, and leaving with Scott and his friend, a shepherd, whom they had captured and were holding as a prisoner, they interrupted the rehicle containing an old sheep-farmer, living at San Diego, and his son, who aad been to Corpus Christi, and the day before had sold their wool crop for $800. riie Mexican robbers shot the son ;hrough the head, killing him instantly, fhe old man showing a disposition to a-i.i. i i_.*ii _ .i i Jglll, WHS tUSU milieu, UUU 1110 lilUUC-J WttB ;akeu. Iu the meantime Scott and his friend and the shepherd succeeded in releasing themselves. The former two escaped and went to Corpus Christi, (vhile the shepherd went te> San Diego xud reported the outrage. A company )f men were raised in San Diego and pursued tho thieves. Near Conception they discovered that the Mexicans had stopped long enough to kill the owner :>f a ranch. They were then pursued for ibout one hundred miles, but escaped, their trail leading across the Rio Grande river. A Female Chemist, We often read of women who unsex themselves in appearance in order to engage in some masculine employment, such as that of a sailor or soldier, or even a farm hand. But a Russian jour- : nal t4il)a the following incident, winch is ; etill more curious than any of these : A young Russian has for ?ome years been prosecuting his chemical studies at j the university of Leipsic with unusual zeal. The young man, of an aristocratic | exterior, made friends of all who came , in contact with him. Recently he passed j a most brilliaut examination, which was | rewarded with the dignity of master of j arts. Soon thereafter a young lady called on j one of the most prominent professors of | the university, addressing the celebrated ! savant in the following words : "I desire, professor, befoi^ I depart' from Leipsic, to expres? to you my most! hearty thanks." The professor, perfectly astonished, j observed: " Thanks?but for what ?" "Listen, r>ir. I was mnrried to the J old Prince . My husband died i some years ago. He diod insolvent, so ; that I was left even without the daily ; bread. I resolved to seek the necessary : means of subsistence in scicnce." The professor then interrupted her, saying: "Yes, m^st gracious lndy ; nevertheless I cannot see why you should address auy thanks to me."' The lady continued : " Observe, then ; it is now more than three years tiiat here 111 LiOipsic i nave j been a student. The Htudent wlio lutely | psissed the examination, aud whom yon i con-idered worthy of distinction, is none > other than myself." A FATAL FIRE. Several tiirln nnd .Hen Burned to Death at a Fire in Cincinnati. The following telegraphic account is given of the recent fire in Cincinnati by which a number of persons their lives : The building consumed was a fivestory brick, near the corner of Eighth street and Broadway, and was used as a cigar box manufactory. Nearly all the employees, mostly girls, and fifteen or eighteen in number, were at work in the third or fourth story when the alarm sounded, but so rapid was the spread of the flames in the dry, combustible material with which the place was stored, that instantly all means of escape to the lower floor was cut off. The terrified inmates rushed from one part of the building to the other, not daring to jump to the ground. Two of the girls, more prompt and courageous than the rest, ran to the burning stairway, dashed through the flames and fell exhausted and badly burned at the bottom. Their injuries were not fatal. The others ran from window to window, imploring the crowd outside to do something to rescue them, but every effort failed, owing to the marvelous rapidity with which the flames spread through the building. One man succeeded in raising a ladder, but falling bricks and burning pieces of timber drove him away. Gradually the victims were driven upward toward the roof, where all possibility of escape was cut off. Three minutes later the whole bnilding was on fire, and the cries of the inmates were drowned in the roaring flames. It was scarcely .ten minutes from the time the alarm was given until the fire was bursting out of every window and shooting upward from the roof. As soon as the flames were under sufficient control the firemen began to look for the bodies that were in the ruins. They soon discovered in the cellar a mass of smoking remains, which proved to be the bodies of four unfortunate victims." They were lying almost in a heap, as if death had overtaken them when huddling together in terror in a corner of the building. Three of them were soon identified by scraps of clothing or peculiarities of teeth, but the fourth was burned beyond recognition. Three men jumped from the second story and escaped unhurt. One other received such injuries that he died in, three or four hours. It is stated by those who saw the beginning of the fire, that Frank Studier, one of the victims, was standing on the street when he saw the gins uj uie upper Mwnes uppeuiiiiy iui help. He called out that he would soon help them out, and darted up the stairway, but was soon suffocated and fell in the flames. Almost before the firemen were aware that the inmates of the upper Btories were cut off from the streets, the walls were falling. Had there been time for deliberation the girls might have exchanged certain death for a few broken bones by jumping from the second and third stories. The building was a perfect fire-trap, beiug pierced from top to bottom by a narrow stairway and elevator tunnel, stored with everything that was combustible, ana lurmsueu wnr no form of fire-escape. Several adjoining buildings, used as dwelling houses and small workshops, were also burned. The total loss by the fire will be from 875,000 to 8100,000. The insurance is very light. Two firemen were overcome by the intense heat of the sun and of the burning building, and were carried to their homes in an unconscious condition. Exports &n<l Imports.

A powder horn picked up on the battle-field of Bennington by Samuel Culver, a soldier of the revolution, is an interesting relic of the struggle of the colonies for independence. It is a large horn, more than a foot in length, and a map worked out on it from Lake Ontario to New York. We find on it distinctly marked in the form of printed letters, the words: Lake Ontario, Oswego, Lake George, Wood Creek, Fort Edward, Saratoga, Stillwater, Skewacet, Albany, New York, with some other names. The signature at the bottom is "Capt. (Corooral^ Charles Hovedelette. N. B.. 1758." This indicates the owner nnd the date. The name is hardly English or French ; it may be Hessian. It is a valuable and interesting relic, and helps to expound the history of those times. The maker of this map evinced a skill iu making letters which cannot be excelled at this day; he doubtless understood the geography of the country from Canada to New York city, as well as could have been understood by anyone in those times. A Tornado iu Mid Air.

They rolled and tumbled as ocean tornadoes will distort with the waves, and were evidently flung like feathers by a terrific tornado, which passed over the center of the village, but too high up to disturb objects upon the earth. The trees near the district sclioolhouse were made to bow, but the mad forces were too far up to exert their full power upon them. Had the tornado run one huudred feet lower, it is believed by those who observed it that buildings would have been demolished in an instant of time.?Ocneseo (N. Y.) Republican. The Baby's Strike. They had n strike up at Mr. Middlerib's the other night. The baby struck for six hours' walking every night, in stead of four, which it has been getting. The family at first refused to accede to this preposterous and unreasonable demand, but the baby being a monopoly, there being no others to supply the place of the striker, it was able to enforce its demands, ns all sleep was shut off until a settlement was effoeted. The only show of violence whs the threat, on the part of the baby, to make it warm for the household when it was about four years older and green apple time eamo arouud.?Burlington Haw key c. WORKING GIRLS AFLOAT. Fifteen Hundred Pretty? Modest, Well-Uebaved Dlluei Enjoying Themselves. The New York Sun of a recent date has the following account of a free excursion to the seaside given to the working girls of New York and Brooklyn : When the Columbia steamed away from the last of her New York landings peataTvlav morniner she carried 1.200 working girls, and at her Brooklyn landing 300 more taken aboard. Tho Columbia arrived at Rockaway beach at about one o'clock, and the excursionists poured over the gang plank at each of the landings. At the second landing some of the officers put out a narrow plank beside the gang plank, and helped many of the girls over it. The bystanders applauded their gallantry and the girls laughed as they were assisted to the pier. At Rockaway everybody was alert to see the expected visitors. The girls thronged the wooden walks and hurried to the beach, where a fine surf was rolling in. A few went in bathing at once, but most of them soon returned to the buildings along the shore and presented their chowder' I tickets. Two hundred of them sat down j together at tables in a grove near the second landing. Praise was showered on them on every hand for their attractive appearance and modest behavior. A 4- n r\t mVla u'tinf XXU iCOOU U uauuonuu VI VUO nvuu I into the water. Over 3,300 bathing suits had been placed at their disposal free of charge by the bathing house proprietors. A few of them were good swimmers, and struck boldly out beyond the breakers. A largo number stood up to their waists in the water, keeping fast hold of the safety ropes. The majority, however, stayed very near the shore and paddled in the shallow water. Most of tliem remained in the water a longer time than is usual, as though reluctant to give up a pleasure to which they were unaccustnmtvl Ono of the swimmers was Marv Johnson, of 119tli street and Fourth avenue," ft middle-aged woman who has only one leg. 8he laid her crutches on the shore and hopped through the surf. On Thursday last she went down to Rockaway because her physician told her that she ought to take her little sixyear-old girl down to the seaside for the benefit of her eyes. She lost her ticket, and could not return until she was taken to Capt. Pease, who allowed her to return on the Columbia, and, in addition, gave her three tickets for yesterday's excursion. She said that she tried to give two of them away to her neighbors, but they would not believe they were worth anything. When she came out of the water she said yesterday was the brightest day she had seen in America. There was no boisterous or otherwise improper conduct observable among the hundreds of spectators on shore. The bathers laughed and screamed as they tumbled in the surf. Many who did not go in the water walked along the shore, finding endless novelty in the freaks of the water as it made frequent darts up the beach after retreating steps. All looked with interest at the large transatlantic steamships as they moved seaward in the distance, their long black hulls being half concealed in clouds of denso smoke. At half-past four o'clock the Columbia again touched at the landings to bring the excursionists back to New York. The girls hurried from the beach, some of them apparently with regret, and some of them looking tired with their day's sport. Again the Plymouth Rock fired a salute, and both steamers, with their decks crowded, started back to New York, where they arrived at about halfpast six o'clock. On the passage up lemonade was again served in unstinted quantity by Mr. Spencer. The band played and the glee club sang. When "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," 'as sung, some of the words having been changed to make it allude to the steamer Columbia and Capt. Pease, the girls joined in the chorus. How Cooke Stopped the Stage Thunder. During the early day of Cooke, the celebrated actor, he would have attendj ed every performance at the theater, but I his funds would not permit, and many I wflrA thfl Hp.iinmp.H lift dAvififvl fnr n mir reptitious entrance. One of these, told by himself, is extremely ludicrous. One night he slipped through the stage door before the keeper was posted, or any of the employes about, and, groping his way behind the scenes, sought for a place -where ho might remain concealed until the curtain rose, when he hoped to be able to ensconce himself in some obscure spot unobserved and get a glimpse of the performance. In a remote corner he found a very large barrel?nothing could be better for his purpose. Dropping himself into it he found at the bottom two twenty-four-pound cannon balls, about which, however, he did not trouble himself. Little did he imagine that he had taken refuge in the machine by which the theater produced its stage thunder. But so it was. Just as the last bars of the overture were being played, the property man tied a piece of carpet over the top of the barrel, without perceiving in the dark its living occupant, raised it in his arms, no doubt wondering at its extraordinary weight, and carried it to the side scenes. The play was "Macbeth," which opens with thunder and lightning. As the curtain bell sounded, away he sent the machine rolling. Horribly frightened, and pounded by the cannon balls, Cooke roared out lustily, and fighting to release himself, sent the barrel on to the stage, burst off the carpet head, and rolled out in front of the audience, scattering the three witches right and left. Fljlng Power of Bees. The following experiments were made with bees by Herr Donhoff: He took some bees from the hive, just as they came out of the entrance hole, aud placed them under a glass bell, at a temperature of sixty-six degrees Fahrenheit. First they rau hastily up and down the sides of the glass and flew about the jnr. Some time after, their movements became less hasty, and finally they all sat quietly together, or moved slowly and clumsily, being unable to fly about. A few were allowed to crawl upon a pencil, which, on being jerked, threw them into the aiy ; they fell down perpendicularly without moving their wings in the least)' Two or three were then killed and their honey-bags found to ho empty. To the others Herr Donhoff then gave a solution of sugar, and after feeding for a few moments, he again threw them iuto the air. They no longer fell down perpendicularly but a little further off, also moving the wings. A minute afterward they did not fail at all, but new to the window. On repeating the experiment at a lower temperature, they lost their power of flying even sooner, ami ?? longer period elapsed before it returned after they were fed on sugar-water. In higher temperatures the power returned sooner. Herr Donhoff thinks it probable that the bee looses the power of flying because it does not possess the necessary strength to be converted into muscular action, and that this strength returns to its system because in sugar it finds tho necessary vital support.

Interesting Items from Home and Abroad. A London dispatch says the Turks won a great victory over the Russians at Plevna. The czar's troops were routed after two days' fighting, with a loss of 8,000 killed and 16,000 wounded Frank Walworth, who murdered his father in a hotel in New York a few years ago, and was sentenced to imprisonment for life, has been pardoned by the governor At Scranton, Pa., men employed in the blaBt furnaces and machine shops of tho Lackawanna Iron und Coal Company resumed work, and throats were thereupon made by the other employees, who were out on striko, that those who nad gone to work would be removed by force. At eleven a. m. a crowd numbering several thousand persons marched to the machine shops of the company, burst open the doors and drove the men from their work. They then proceeded to the engine room and assaulted and severely injured the engineer. A machinist who tried to escape through a window was attacked with stones and pieces of iron and left for dead on the threshold o* his home. The crowd then rushed to thejjom pany's office, where they met Mayor McKune, who entreated them to desist. He was immediately set upon and felled to the ground, and would have been killed had not the Rev. J. W. Dunn, a Catholic priest, interceded. The mayor and the clergyman were both injured and songht safety in flight. Hearing of the mayor's danger, a company of about-thirty special policemen, armed with rifloB, hurried to bin assistance and halted at the corner of Lackawanna and Wyoming avenues, where an immonHO throng had assembled. Persons in the crowd began throwing stones and jeering the company. A signal of the mayor, motioning the crowd away, was interpreted by the policc as an order to fire, and two volleys were poured into the donse throng. The people fled precipitately, and when the smoke of the rifles had cleared away a terrible sight was disclosed. Charles Dunleavy lay at the corner ol the street with the top of his head blown off. In the middle of the street was Patrick Langan with his bowels protruding, whilo Patrick Lane was terribly mutilated, and died in a few minutes. Charles Phillips, a cripple, was terribly injured, and two members or the Citizens Committee were shot, but not fatally. Many others were injured, but were instantly romoved bv friends. At Wiikesbarre, Pa., a crowd of seven thousand persons attacked a mail train that was about to leave the Lehigh Valley depot. The engineer was stoned and forced off the train, and the conductor would have been killed but for the interference ol friends. The strikers then took possession oi the engine and ran it up and down the track, blowing the whistle and cheering. Many passengers were detained in the place. A hotel at Grimsby, England, at which a newly-elected member of Parliament was stopping, was attacked by a large mob, who attempted to set it on fire Gov. Hartranfl with two thousand troops proceeded to the mining regions of Pennsylvania on the da} after the scenes of bloodshed and violenoe al Scranton and Wilkesbarre.

A late Chicago paper has the following: During the recent riots there were many instances of individual bravery which almost rise to the dignity of hero1 ism. A good many who shared in sup; pressing the revolt distinguished them, selves by their personal achievements. The police of the Twelfth street station i spoke in the highest praise of the con| duct of George Emerson during one of | the fights at the viaduct. [ It will be remembered that the first serious outbreak occurred at and in the ' vicinity of the Halsted street viaduct on ; last Wednesday evening. When violence and bloodshed seemed imminent, \ word was dispatched to the Twelfth i street station, and Lieutenant Callaghan r with eighteen men hastened forward tc ; quell and disperse the rioters. An omni, bus of the West Twelfth street line, dr^j. en by Emerson, was taken to convey . the officers as rapidly aB possible to the - scene of the disturbance, Emerson brave| Iv offering his services and promising to [ drive wherever they might wish to go. ! Jtie drove down naistea street 10 wiimi ' one block of the viaduct, when he turned ' east to Union street. Thence he drove, undaunted by the gathering mob before him, directly upon the tracks. The 1 vehicle was observed, and as soon as it . was seen to contain police officers it bet came the object of a fierce attack. Stonet ? in showers were hurled against it. The horses were struck and became almosl \ unmanageable. The roof of the stage r was broken in, the sides were batterec r as if they had been the work of volley? 1 of musketry. The officers, so hot was the ' assault, were obliged to abandon the i omnibus with all speed, and endeavor tc i make a stand against their assailanti upon the ground. Then the bloodshec > and violence already chronicled begai [ in earnest. Emerson might easily have ! driven away out of the reach of danger, but he heroically remained at his post, telling the officers that he would wait tc convev them back to the station. He had escaped injury thus far, thougl the stones and missiles had fallen thici around him. While the policemen were battling with the mob he occupied hit seat, with reins in hand, endeavoring tc quiet his frightened horses. The police at first drove the mob to the southerr part of the track and out upon Fifteenth street. Emerson now seemed securec against danger, as he was out of the range of bullets and stones. The mob rallied, however, after being driven across the track, and turned and drove the policemen before them back over the tracl they had just traveled. Emerson sa^ that the rabble would bo upon him agair in an instant, but he remained firm al his post. The police were forced pasi him and north on Union street. He found himself in the very center of the ; angry mob. They turned upon and stoned him until he fell headlong and ; insensible to the ground. Then 6ome j miscreant fired a bullet through one ol i bis arms. Others out the lines and traces and stoning the horses started them into [ a run-away. Mr. Emerson, bleeding and , unconscious, lay where he fell for some . time, the rioters having proceeded on ? their chase after the police. He was ' discovered by an expressman when quiet | was restored with his hands grasping the pieces of the reins. He was conveyed to nim home, where for some time it was not thought that he would survive his injuries. Ho recovered slowly, however, and on yesterday was able to leave his bed. Four infants Elope. i An extraordinary instance of juvenile ' precocity has just come to light in St. Louis. A lawyer of that city, who returned the other morning from a visit to Louisville, reports that at Terre Haute, Ind., his train took on a detective with two little boys and two little girls in i charge. The boys appeared to In about i twelve years old, and the girls about a 1 year older. They are the chilaren of respectable parents residing in St. Louis, and were on their way to New I York for the purpose of getting married. These two childish couples had been ; " sparking " for some time, and knowing | the utter impossibility of obtaining ' paternal consent to marry, concluded to , run away to New York and try their | chances there. By hoarding their nickels for several weeks they saved enough | to pay the fare of the party, and when everything was in readiness they boardi ed a train at the St. Louis bridge, and ' took a section of a sleeping car. I It was about midnight when the trail] . arrived at Terre Haute, and their slum. bers were rudely disturbed by th< officer, who took the quartette in charge, ' and putting them on the western-bonne1 1 train, escorted them to St. Louis. Tht boys were a good deal disconcerted bj the contretemps, and willingly returnee t to their homes. It seems tl^it the father of one of th< ' lads obtained an inkliug of what wa.' ; going on, aud on missing his younc hopeful, made inquiries and learned th< \ route he lind taken. A dispatch was sen' i to the police at Terre Haute, and the ? children were captured nnd sent back tc ^ St. Louis. l Wlint Can be Cured i Need not he endured, although what can't mus 1 be.
