A PonOELIAN FIDDLE.-VOnice is considerably excited at present over a very unusual sort of a fiddle, the only one of its kind, probably, ever made. The manufacttu'er of this porcelain fiddle was formerly a workman in a Saxon porcelain man ufactory. After his return, old and feeble, to his old home, he at, tempted to carry out a long cher.. ished project for making a fiddle, the box of which should be of solid china. With the aid of a boy, it is stated, he has in fact succeeded in producing a fiddle of this kind, which has a tone of rare purity and astonish ing richness, combined with charm.. ing harmony and extraordinary power. The box part, or resonator, is exceedingly light, and the strings are made of metallic wires, while the bow, departing from the usual form, is curved, making: almost a semi-circle. The success of this clever Venetian, who had enjoyed the advantages of the skill acquired in a German porcelain factory, may be the means of directing musicianis to the advantages of the clear, ringing, but fragile china and glass for simular uses in acoustics.

'will will last five days, during 'which time free theatrical representations and bull fights will be provided for the people. A banquet will be giv en to a thousand of thme poor of Madrid in the Prado, and there will be historical processions in the Plaza do Toros, the nobles of Spain being invited to take part in the cavalcades. All children born on the 28d 'will be dowet'ed, and 50,-. 000 pesetae 'will be distributed amn jjhemor SNIP.E SHOOTING EXTHAORDINARY. The greatest shooting exploit over perforncd in this country was re contly achieved by a gentleman long a resident of this State, and the owner of some of the largest plan tations, sugar and cotton. For years past tho exploits of this gen tleman have been regarded with the highest admiration and wonder in all sporting circles. Leasing out his splendid sugar estates on the Techo, he has reserved the privilege of occupying a shooting box, which he calls his "snipery," where ho spends every year a month or so, to enjoy without disturbances his favorite amusoment of shooting this fine and agile bird, which abounds on his own and the adjoining plan tations. The results of his sport,and skill in past years have been fro quently referred to as wonderful. To bag three hundred snipe on the wing, of course, a day has been a common achievement-common for him, but never accomplished by any other sportsman. In his last on, terprise, however, he surpassed his previous exploits by devoting six successive days to this sport. The result was a bag of nineteen hund red and sixty snipo. Allowing six hours per day for the hunt, this vould give a snipe a minute, which is about equal to the hog killing operations of the great slaughter houses of Chicago. Besides the pleasure and pride of such an achievement, the robust appearance of tho gentleman by whom it was performed, when we met him yes. terday on our streets, attest "the happy effects upon his physical con dition of the exercise and excite mont of his Nimrodian enterprise. He wlll return to his enjoyment of the luxuries and pleasures of his family residence at Biaritz, France, with a keen and invigorated relish and capacity of enjoyment.-Neto Orlean Picayune. AN OUTRAGEoUs AFFAIR.-An un pleasant story conies from New York, telling of the arrest in a popular dry goods store of two re spectable ladies, sisters, who were minocently there in due course of shopping. In this instance the ladies were, without cause, suspect. ed of shoplifting by an employee known as floor-walker, were rudely ushored into a private office and subjected to being searched. Noth ing was found about the ladies to warrant such a proceeding, reports say ; but the indignities did not end there, for the -too officious accusera had gone too far, though the dry. goods meIpromised to say nothing. of the matter if the ladies would confess they had intended to thieve. They could not do that and were. handed over to a policeman and' actually passed a night in a misera. ble police cell, surrounded by crimi nals. Suits for damages were insti-. tuted, and dismissed on the ground That the proprietors of the store had not approved of the acts of their employees in the matter. Even if the suit had been successful, no amount of money could pay for the wounded feelings and sufferings ex, porienced by the, much injured ladies. This affair should prove a warning to the ladies and clerks of New York, for we believe it is only in that city that such things can be and not excite special wonder. A DEEnI CA PTURIED BY GIRI.s.-A few days ago, says the Toronto (Canada) Globe, Rosa and Gertrude Brockenridge, daughters of Mr. W. B3reckenridge, of Belmont, while in theo vicinity of Long Lake, noticed a large deer madly rush into the water, evidently pursued and slight ly wounded. Without a moment'a hesitation the two girls procured a' boat, armed themselves with clubs and set after the deer. They. soon encountered the aggravated animal, when tho girls courageously comn. menced the attack with their clubs, and after a short contest brought' his deership to bay, and had him convoyed to their home -a proof of their prowess.
