L Thero is in addition to the foot murks indication of some heavy object having been dragged over the rocks after the creature whose tracks are there. This object was probably a club, to judge from the marks it made. The ledge of rock on which this valua-ble record of a prehistoric age is to be (teen was detached with the greatest cure, but an unfortunate fall broke the piece right across the footprint most clearly defined. The breakage will be repaired as skillfully as possible with cement and the rock forwarded to the Museum of Geology and Paleontology at Dubuque, Mr. Mardingham, who owns the quarry, presenting it to that institut-ion. Philadelphia Times. A Prehistoric Giant. While blasting stone from the Mar-dingham quarry near Fort Dodge there was discovered July 13 tho prints of a gigantic foot on a shelf of rock, which had been covered with earth and vegeta-tion, bnt which was displaced by the explosion. The foot is apparently that of a human being, though provided with nails of great length and curved slightly nt tho end, as can be seen by the deeper indentations at the ends of the marks. Tho prints are seven in number, vary-ing considerably in distinctness, each pleasuring a fraction less than two feet iu lenirth and broad in proportion. The toes aro shorter than is usual in tho hu-man foot und spread much wider apart, but the heel is narrow and rounding. The prints all point in the same direc-tion and are from four to four and a half feet apart, the most clearly defined inking about two.uicJifia.intothe rock. HFDB : MEAT : MARKET.

The Speed of Naval Ships Death of an ' Aged Painter Electricity Super-ceding the Cable. , ..... On Tuesday a very' successf ul perform-n- c of the "Antigone" of Sophocles was given atB;adfield college, near Reading. For the flint time since the overthrow of the ancient world a Greek play was pro-duced under much the name physical conditions as prevailed at Athens. An accurate copy of an ancient theatre had boon constructed out of a disused chulk pit, the spectators sitting on broad, low steps, which rose tier above tier of semi-circle from the level of the orchestra. The blue sky of a perfect June day overhead, the scent of the incense burn-ing on the altar round which the sena-tors ohant in rhythmic cadence the strophes and antistrophes of the chorus, and the stately pageant of the stage beyond, combined to produce an impres-sion which few of their audience are likely to forget. The effect of tho voices in the open air was excellent, the boys having been trained to make every word heard, and the occasional half inter-ruptions from a bird singing in the leafy borders of the rural playhouse only in-creasing the cliarm of the whole perform-ance. Tha acting throughout was re-markably good and very unraodorn the players wisely refraining from any attempt to copy tho maunoriams of Mr. Irving and Miss Terry. The dresses and the stage arrangements generally left nothing to be desired. London Spectator. TROUBLES OF A MILLIONAIRE. The Deplorabln Fate, of I ho Man Who Owned the t Facli.ry In America. William X. Whitoly, the famous in-- i ventor and manufacturer, is a mental wreck. His troubles hepan in 1H8, when he was apparently at tho height of his remarkably prosperous career. He had just finished building the largest factory in tho world with the single ex-ception of the Krupp gun works for the manufacture of harvesting machines, of ( wluuh he was the inventor, and upon j which he had built his fortune, esti-- mated at from three to five millions, He got into trouble with the Knights of Labor in that year, when the organi-zation was at the height of its power, and a fierce boycott caused heavy losses during that season. Tho opening of the next found him heavily in debt, and tho failure of the Fidelity bank at Cincin-nati, with which he did a large business, forced him into the bands of a receiver. Active competitors took advantage of all this trouble and disorganization, and, after worrying along, getting hold of the works again and again failing, ho wound up penniless. He wasfi man of strong character, as was amply shown by tho way he dictated ' politics in this city and congressional district. In lWflhe started a newspaper, purchasing a metropolitan plant, and ran it a year, until his first failure, selling it at a cent and waging bitter war in its columns against the Knights of Labor and all others who saw fit to oppose.him. He took his financial difficulties wonder-fully to heart, and was known to go for a week at a time without a wink of sleep and nothing more than an occa- - sional cracker to eat, while he was shut up in a little experimental room at work ' with his tools. Ho had an abiding faith that he could invent a new harvester that would sweep the field, and again make hiro the "reaper king." Aside from his beloved raachiue tho only object of his affection was his daugh-ter Nellie, a golden haired girl of 16, re-markably intelligent and highly edu-cated. She alono could approach him when he was in one of his intensely despondent moods, and she alone could persuade him to eut or drink. The girl suddenly sickened and died, and theblow wrecked her father's mind. He sat at her bier guarding her body like a dumb and faithful watch dog, not, permitting the undertaker or embalrner to touch the corpse. . He insisted that her coffin should be a simple pine box, made by one of his old workmen in the old shop, He would have no crape on the door. and it was only by physical force that he was restrained from himself loading the coffin on dray and hauling it to the cemetery. Springfield (O.) Cor. In-dianapolis Journal. Life Fared by a Iog' Barking. The inmates of the houso of Mr. W. H. French, of Woodbridge, which was destroyed by fire Monday evening, have a dog to thank for their lives. The fire started iu the carriage barn or wood-sous- e, which are all connected with the farmhouse by an L, and by the time that the occupants were awakened to their danger, which was about 1 o'clock in tho morning, all the buildings seemed to be enveloped in flames, and there was need fit hurry to escape. The discovery wns first made by Mr. French's daugh-ter, a young lady about 18 years of age, wi:o was awakened by the vigorous bark-ing and whines of the pet dog of a lady who was visiting them for tho time. Miss French perceived in a moment from the actions of the animal that something was wrong, and then hearing the crackling of the flames knew what it meant, and that prompt action was r.eccssary. Jt was but the work of a moment for her to give tho alarm to the rest of the household, consisting besides herself of Mr. and Mrs. French, a lady and her little child visiting them and a hired man. Tho startling news was not given any too soon, but fortunately no lives were lost. Help came from the neighboring houses, but by this time the buildings were pretty well destroyed. Now Haven Journal andCourior. A Fine looking-- Couple. Mr. Marion Crawford is an exceeding-ly handsome young man, and is as per-fect physically, with his six feet of man-liness, as a Greek, statue. By incessant physical culture he has doveloped each muscle to perfection, and he has dis-tinguished himself as a brilliant fencer. His wife is as perfect in her way, and one of tho most beautiful of American women. She has a 'statuesque figure that is lithe and graceful as a reed. Those who know Gen. Berdan remem-ber liis wonderful gray eyes and his superb physique, both of which are fem-ininely duplicated in his daughter. When Gen. Berdan went to Turkey, after superintending the construction of his musket invention in Russia, be was accompanied by his daughter. It was there that Marion Crawford met the lady he was fortunate to wiu for a wife. Miss Berdan created a sensation in offi-cial society in Constantinople by hep beauty and grace of manner. It was there that the wedding took place which united two of the handsomest natives of the United States. Mr. Crawford is a nephew of Miss Julia Ward Howe. Pittsburg Dispatch. "Young and Gentlo and Kind." Yeeterday was a memorable one to veteran drover Ldiao Cochran. He per-sonally conducted the sale of a lot of ptock at his stable yards iu the east rvard, and extolled the qualities of every uimal offerod until the presence of a red bull was announced. This animnl Isaac proceeded to affectionately tonch up with his stick and umbrella. "Alive! Look at him young and gentle, kind and" The stick flew one way and the ., bull another at this point. He was af-ter Tsaac. The latter threw his um-brella and finally his hat at the bull, all . ' to no purpose. The animal was gun-ning for Mr. Cochran; it was he who had pricked him too hard with the um-brella. Mr. Cochran cleared a five rail fence lit one bound, and theti the animal be-gan adjourning the sale, which he did in abort order. Some climbed the posts, others sought safety on tho roofs of adjacent sheds, while more crawled , through the knot holes. Tho bull find-ing ho was lord of the manor, turned his attention to Mr. Cochran's hat, wluoh he tore into shreds. Above the din and noiso of tho troublo, however, could be heard Mr. Cochran's voice calling: "Alive! Look at him yonug and gentle nd kind." West Chester Local News. Hinta on Irowntng. The incidents of tlu's year's drowning season aro unusually numerous, painful, and if we may say so annoying. From Red Bank we hear of a Brooklyn canoe-ist, now dead, who could not swim, but who wont on the water at night when the wind "blew a perfect gale." On tho treacherous waters of Jamaica bay, where the tido races faster than a strong swimmer's speed, a young man who conld not swim jumped in after a float-ing oar, and two companions followed htm. Of course the sequel was fatal. In another rase three relatives leaped into tho water in a brave but foolish and nsolexs attempt to rescue one another. Such incidents are themselves a better warning than any words that can be written. If sentences of capital punish-ment for ignorance of danger or folly in risking it are not sufficient to make peo-pl- o wise or prudent it is almost useless to point a moral. Yet the moral is simple never trifle with unknown danger ami surely no man need be ashamed of acting upon it. If you can swim across tho lake at home, beware how you venture into tho surf or tides until you hnvo tested their quality for yourself. If you know how buoyant still salt water is experiment a little with fresh water bnfore you attempt in it equal distances or familiar feats. And reflect before you aro drowned whether or not either water will not yield its full measure of delight under conditions which guarantee safety, even if they do not populate cemeteries. New York Times. ' Man and Melon In Collision. A prominent lawyer in this city had a client the other day who related a story which shows that the watermelon may accomplish great damage when used as a weapon under certain circumstances. The lawyer's client is a conductor on a Central railroad freight train. A few days ago, as the train was going up the road at a sjieed of twenty mile3 an hour, the conductor was standing in the top of his caboose looking ahead out of the window, with his head resting on his arm. The train rushed by a small station whom a lot of watermelons were being loaded into some cars. As the freight train passed one of the hands engaged in loading, in a spirit of fun, pitched ono of tho melons at the conductor's bead in the window in the ca-- noose. His ana was well taken, and the' consequences were disastrous. The melon struck the conductor squarely on the face and arm, knocking out three tenth, cut his face open and almost broke his arm. Tho joker's melon almost finished tho (lonductor. The speed at which the train was running was responsible for the un-usual force of the blow. Savannah News. Tlio gpsrd of Naval Flu (pit. The speed of English naval veasels is generally determined by a ran over a measured mile. This is as if a sprint runner were allowed to take a flying start, and as if the speed he attained by spurting 100 yards on a good track were assumed to be the speed he could make iu chasing a pickpocket in tho street. It is notorious that these vessels rarely if ever attain in actual service the speed with which they aro credited. It will therefore be understood bow much more accurate was t he tost imposed ipon tha new cruiser Philadelphia when who was Ziuido to run forty miles and back along tho coast of Long Island. The record she made was of course materially aided by the work of the most skillful engi-neers and stokers employed by the Cramps, and by tho rise of picked coal, but thero seems to be little reason for , doubting hor ability to run twenty knots Bn hour in actual service.- - Jtaalu ot itu'Aged J'rinfcr.

At tho time of bis death he was foreman of The Alta's press room, a position which ho had filled since 1857; but for several years prior to that time ho had rendered faithful service in the same department of this paper.

I saw Adam King, the newly appointed consul to Paris in plaeoof Mr! Kathbone, of California. I asked Mr. Hooper, nj ho filled the place of vice consul for many years acceptably ami is wonder-fully up in everything about Paris, and ha told me that the consulate was worth nlwut $17,000 a year. Ho said that ho kept, the books for Mr. Walker, our con-sul there for several yeurs, and that ho netted about $17,000 out of tho position. He said that the consulate at Frankfort, which Capt. Mason holds, was probably worth $6,000 to $8,000 a year. The Lon-don consulate, held by Mr. New, is morn profitable than any of theso, and Mr. New has conducted himself in a very agreeable way in London, and has also been fairly thrifty with tho proceeds of his office.-G- ath in Cincinnati Enquirer.
