T\vo citixens in Ukiuh recentlj
struggled for the posession of a. wafr
ernielon. The stronger of the twair
was victorious , and was about to walk
off with the prixe when his antagonist
pulled a knife and stabbed him to the
heart. Danger lurks in the watermel
on from c-very conceivable point o.
view. Tlie safest plan is to eat clams
San Francisco News-Letter.
Tin- : Great Easter/i / , the largest ves
sel ever built , will be one of the at
tractions at New Orleans during the
World's exposition. The scheme oi
the managers is to charter the big ship
and have her bring over from Europe
a cargo of articles for exhibition free
of charge ro the exhibitors from fairs
now being held at London , Manches
ter , Edinburgh , Cork , Turin and Cop
enhagen. The Great Eastern made
one visit to New York many year
ago , when she was visited by hundreds
of thousands of persons.
IT is consoling to the people of the
United States who have been deplor
ing the decay of our once glorious na
vy to know that England is in the
same boat with us. The Pall Mall
Gaxette asserts that the boasted su
premacy of England on the seas is now
a thing of the past , and to regain it
will cause the expenditure of 50- ,
000,000. The British navy is declar
ed to be far inferior to that of France ,
but we question whether it would re
quire 50,000,000 to put the English
navy in the lead.
THE problem of steering- balloons
is not solved. Captains Kenaud and
Krebs , of the French army , in the ex
periments at Meudon , have simply
shown skill in studying air currents
and making use of them in fine weath
er. They have profited by the zeph
yr circuits produced by sunshine in
warm afternoons. Captain .Tovis , the
aeronaut , accomplished the result
which they vaunt. When the world
sees a balloon that cannot only make
head against a high wind , but tack
against it , it will believe in the solu
tion of the problem that Krebs and
Renaud have been studying.
Mi : . KEELY on Saturday last gave
an exhibition of his mysterious motor
in the presence of a large number of
stockholders in the motor company.
The test was made at Sandy Hook by
means of a small cannon , the motor
form taking the place of gunpowder ,
and it is said that it was highly satis
factory. Mr. Keely assured the as
semblage that by the 1st of December
he expected some grand results , and
that the present year would see the
motor perfected. He proposes to ap
ply it to telegraphy as well as to the
movement of machinery. Mr. Keely
may not , after all , be so much of a
crank as some people suppose. He
certainly has some good backers ,
among the number of wealthy brokers
and manufacturers being Philadel
phia , New York and Brooklyn. Bee.
SUPPOSE a newspaper man , every
time he hears of a man who has severe
ly criticized him or his paper in pub
lic should retaliate by holding up to
the public gaze the faults and short
comings of the said criticixer. What
would be the result ? Why the criticizer -
cizer would think he had been terribly
outraged and would thirst for the edi
tors gore. Then the poor scribe would
get shot or shoot somebody. The pa
tient beast of burden , the country jour
nalist , never does this except under
great provocation. It isn't because
he is afraid to clo it but because he is
not mean enough. He allows men to
go around trying to destroy his busi
ness. He hears his paper called a
worthless sheet because the editor in
doing his duty has stepped on some
body's toe. He is threatened with
death because he commented on the
lawless act of some ruffian , yet he goes
on fighting the battles of the town , >
helping along public institutions , do
ing good to those who persecute him.
Where , oh. where does the poor edi
tor receive his reward. Certainly not
on this side of the dark river. Ex.
THE German soldiers are the proud
est in Europe. The army is consid
ered school for 500,000 young men
They are never compelled to do men
ial work. A Prussian oflicer who
would compel a soldier to do the
work of a servant would bo cashiered
Some of the rich German private sol
diers keep servants of their own.
A YOUXG man in prison at Karlaus ,
Bohemia , has constructed a marvel ol
ingenuity in the shape of a watch
eight centimeters in diameter and
two in thickness , made from the only
materials available to him straw ,
thread , two needles , and a small piece
of paper as dial plate. It goes for
six hours and with little
, a more nec
essary material could bo made to gofer
for twelve.
A3iAX in Southern Arkansaw wrote
the following notice and tacked it on
a tree : "This here is to notify mer
chants not to 'low my wife to get
nothin at than stors on credit fur me

a caution , i lived with her as Ion
as i could an' i don't believe she could
