The possibility of a fall of less than forty feet, incurs lor the Jier- fovmot only the neglect or contempt ol the nudicltco, "which hangs with lirenthless suspense on the thrilling feats of hoys or women, perehed high ill air, from whence n fall would certainly dash them to pieces, or crush them Into hopeless cripples. Ad mitting the existence of such n snvngo thirst lor excitement in the breasts of Tam many audiences, is It right for the nmttngc- moni to luimor it? We think not; and an Indictment for manslaughter ought cer tainly to ho granted against the men who cruelly nml wickedly permit such danger ous exhibitions. A mil is evidently cer tain. The history of the stage Is full of Instances where ioolhnrdy gymnasts have lieell hurled to death from their “lying in tho air.

Hut tlio most horrible and disgusting pltnso of the last development of tho populnr taste is tlio hungry engernrss with which the hous es are llllcd when it Is announced that an unusually dangerous feat Is to bo perform ed by a child or a woman. The Gregory brothers, three lads, nnnwflecd themselves to attempt a somersault forty feet in mid air, nml on the first night tho place was crowded beyond precedent. They succeed ed, but the danger was bo apparent, and it was so palpably evident that some time or other those hoys would fall In heart, hand, or eye, that a net Lwns put under them, ntul tlio third niglit the younger brother, it little chubhv-faeed boy not old enough to know fear, loll nml was saved to an nlU'ctlounto father nnd a palpitating public by tho ob|eetiniml)lo net.

'Tlie lliitetimnn's Insurance. A good story Is told of a German by tha llama of Schmidt, who had taken the pro- cnutltm to Insure tliu life of his wife for $3,000, nnd his stable for 8000, believing the former might die and tho latter Is; burnt, and he could not got ftlottg without some compensation from tlio loss, llotli policies had been taken fVom tlio same agent. In a fair months after tho stable Itnd been insured ft caught fire and wns ucs- troved. Schmidt quietly notified the ageilt nml hinted to him that ho would exiiect tho nine hundred dollars nt tho onrllcst possible moment. Tlio agent nt once sent tv builder to ascertain the cost of erecting n now stable, of the same dimension, hav ing lenrued tlint tho property hud been In sured for moro than It wns worth. Tho builder reported tlint lie could replace tho stable with now material for $10(1, hut un fortunately thero wns ntv ordinance pre venting the erection or tVmno buildings— tho old stable having been of wood. Ifo was asked to estimate the cost of n brick stnhle, and reported the amount nt $730. Tho agent then notified Schmidt tlint lie would build tv new brick stable In place of the old lYninu ono; hut Schmidt became very indlgiinnt at tho proposition, saying: •‘I do not understand dls Insurance bus iness. I pay you for nine hundred toiler, nnd when my stable burn down you make mu n new uuc. I no want n new shtnblc. I want nine hundred toiler,” The ngent reasoned with Schmidt, hut all to no purpose. When the stable was about finished, Schmidt went to consult a lawyer, thinking ho might stilt get thu amount of the policy, besides having the new stable. The lnwyer, however, Informed him that tliu company Imd a right to mnku good tlio loss by building tv new stable, nml expressed surprise that lie should talk of bringing suit against them. “Hut,” said Schmidt, “I insure for nine hundred tellur, nnd this feller put up detn shtahles for seven hundred and filly —I do not understand this Insurance bus iness.” Finding tlint ho could not compel thu payment by law, Schmidt determined to get out of the business altogether. Cnll- g upon the ngent, Schmidt said :' “ Mr. Agent, I want you to shtop dem insurance on intpo frow. Ido not under stand dis Insurance business.” Ageiit, surprised—“ Why Mr. Sclimidt You nre doing tv very foolish thing. You have paid considerable on this pulley nl- rendy, nnd If your wife should die you will get $1,000,” “ Ytnv, dnt tsh vat you tell mo now,” said Schmidt. . “ Veu I pays you on my shtublu yuu say I get nine hundred tellur ifit burn down. So it was burnt, nml von not give mo mine monish. You say, ‘Oh dntvnsh an old frame shtnhle; it nut wort anything:! made you a brick shtahle,’ anil you not pay me mine nine hundred tollnrs.
