In upwards of 100 districts in the northern and west-ern parts of the colony simultaneous action is to be taken for tbe destruction of the rabbits, in accordance with the rabbit suppression act, recently adopted by the legislature.

People at Porter ore talking about the queer performance of an old clock that has been in the possession of Mr. Isaac L. French or his father for seventy-fiv- e years and always behaved a? an old, steady going clock should act until a few years ago it got out of repair, since when it has been discreetly silent, until about twa weeks since, when, without any warning, it woke up and struck seven. It did this three days in succes-sion and then relapsed into its usual dumbness. Superstitious people are won-dering what the clock was trying to tell them and skeptical ones are heard say-ing something about rats. Lewiston Journal. KEELY'S DISCOVERY. Is It a Fake, Miracle, Fbautasma of the Brain, an Hallucination or What Is It? A CUP OP NAILS FLOATS ON WATES. Superstitious Miners A Southerner Not Afraid to Work An Heroio Act Eecalled, Pittsburg Bulletin. Keely's methods, and his failures, have combined to engender distrust and eves arouse ridicule, but in the light of last Saturday's display before Professor Leidy and others it will not do to deny that Keely has discovered that which no other mun has discovered. And if the divine ' art is needed to summon this new genii from the vasty deep of illimitable space then the power of music has been in-vested with fresh interest, and its ability to simply soothe the savage breast has bec-- immeasurably transcended. And if, as was shown on Saturday, a single musical note can, through Keely'a dis-covery, cause a brass cup full dnails to float in water, another miracle has been wrought by the brain of man, and the close of the Nineteenth century will be marked by a discovery which will place the name of the Philadelphia, Keely, alongsidetUci of his prod ecessor, Frank-lin .JZ. A Winter Without a Snow Plow. It is a fact probably without precedent that there has been no use for snow plows on Vermont railroads during the winter just closed. It is true that the narrow gauge plow was run over the road once or twice not to open the track, however, but to provide for the possibio contingency of a heavy snow-storm. The Central Vermont plows were not called out at all. Brattleboro Phoe-nix. luparttltiaos Miners. A remarkable story is told in connec-tion with the explosion at the Morfa colliery In Wales. It ia stated that re-cently tbe firemen of the pit men who nre always selected for gravity and responsibility have heard inexplicable noises, "shoutings" as they are described, in tbe workings, and that these have not been beard by one person alone, but by several, when ia company examining the pit. Further, a miner returning to the surface felt himself to be accom-panied by some invisible presence, which, although not seen by him, was perceived by tbe banksman to land on the bank, Bnd hastily make it way to the shed 'where the injured and dead are now carried. It is alleged that these strange phenomena were described previously to the explosion and caused several oolliers to refuse to descend, ia spite of their thus becoming liable to prosecution. New York Sun. April 21 was the anniversary of the ex-ecution of J, Joaquin da Silva Xavier, the first Brazilian martyr, who made an unsuccessful attempt a century ago to deliver his country from the yoke of tbe Portuguese. It is the intention in Brazil to make this day the national holiday of the new republic. Baltimore Sun. The journeymen hatmakers of London were recently asked to vote upon the question of whether or not the museums and art galleries should be opened on Sundays, it having been alleged that such an opening was not favored by real workingraen. The vote was 083 in favor to 63 against. . Electric motors are now applied on war ships for hoisting ammunition, In-stead of using the pony" steam engine. The new method insures more conven-ience, cleanliness, economy of space and coolness of atmosphere. A Southerner Mot Afraid to Work. Alton Angler, who has been appointed United States consul at Rheims, France, is a popular citizen of Atlanta. Sixteen years ago, after squandering a fortune, as it was supposed, he applied to the railroads for work. All the upper offices vera filled, but Mr. Angier was told that he could earn hi living as a train hand. He pluckily accepted the offer, and people who were accustomed to meet him in society felt queer when they itaw him enter a passenger coach to build a Are for their comfort. Of course, it was never intended that he should spend bis lifo building fires, and pretty soon ho began to rise. Now he ia general pas-fng-agent of the Western and Atlan-tic Savannah News. For wedding and birthday presents go to tho Variety Hall, C4 West Second Kouth street. An Act of Haroiim Recalled. Capt. BondSbelton, who was present at the recent wedding of his nephew, lord Louth, is or was the young cor-net of dragoons who, when the Birkenhead struck on the rock (1853), helped to save tbe women and children, and when this was dono marshaled his men on deck, formed them into Hue, and went down with them firing a royal sa-lute. The men all perished, but he was picked up by a stray boat after long suf-fering in the water. The then king of Prussia, tbe grandfather of tho present German emperor, when lie heard of this deed, ordered a parade of 100,000 men at Berlin, and had the account publicly read aa a record of military heroism, Exchange. |
