Boston’s Disappointment.
The Fall of the .fiihllee Coliseum -
Thi' Plan to be Changed.
11l news is proverbial for rapid travel
ing, but never did any travel Canter than
the report that the Coliseum, or at least all
that part of the. mammoth structure which
bad been raised above the ground, had
fallen before the fury of the wind. The
crash came atß> 4 ' o’clock, and in less than
an hour Lite cause of the alarm of fire was
known in all the theatres, streets and ho
tels of the city. The work of weeks, and
of hundreds of men, had been in a moment
ruined, and it will take the same army of
workmen many days to clear the ground
so that work can begin again.
►Shortly before 8 o’clock, boards began
to fl y off from the tower, and an enormous
creaking aroused the fears of the watch
men. Two drunken Germans were wan
dering around under the roof, all unsus
picious until the watchman warned them
of the dying timbers, and the danger they
Incurred by remaining whero they wore.
Another white squall came up; more tim
bers fell and the building swayed. Then
there was a momentary lull, which was
followed by a whirlwind more furious than
the last, and at 8:05 o’clock, with au awful
crash, one limber was wrenched from an
other, and the enormous structure fell.—
An alarm was sounded from box 81, speed
ily followed by a second alarm, but on the
arrival of the firemen it was found that
there would be no need of their services;
iio one was under the ruins, and there
was nothing on the ground to catch fire.—
They returned, and those most deely inter
ested and hundreds of others who had come
from motives of curiosity, clambered over
the pile of broken lumber anil boards and
canvassed the situation. There were many
who thought that there would be no Jubilee,
and that the great enterprise was a failure.
Much an opinion was certainly not unwar
ranted. There lay the sides of the build
ing prostrate, and the high tower was
lying a pile of broken timbers—one might
almost say kindling wood. Eight inch
timbers were sticking up with broken,
jagged points, which had been snapped
in two, and a large piece of the side of the
tower was lying on the pile at an angle so
sharp that the bovs would have been de
lighted to slide down its smooth surface.
The immense truss was twisted and broken
short off in three places. The position ex
plians how the building fell. The guyH
were placed through the tower and fastened
to the piles, and on the other side they
were fastened to the second truss. The
tower gave way, falling upon the guys,
which snapped, pulling the truss on the
heap as it fell. Had the guys been over the
building independent of it, the truss would
have been standing now. Or, if the truss had
tieen fastened close to the tower, leaving
uo space between, the wind could have had
no effect upon it.
A gentleman of the Executive Commit
tee, who was driving on Harrison avenue
at the time of the squall, says he never
saw such a wind. The dust was so blind
ing that he told the driver to stop for a
moment to see where they were. There
was a perfect whirlwind, so that gravel
and even small stones were blown into
the carriage. Ten minutes later and there
was another squall worse than the first.
The horse stopped of his own accord, and
before the gust was over the crash of the
falling Coliseum was heard.
The committee, feeling satisfied that it
would lie dangerous to run any risk of
■postponing the Inauguration of the festi
val tor a single day beyond the time origi
nally announced, have reluctantly decided
to relinqnlsh the plans upon which men
have been engaged since the frost came
out of the ground, and to build a struc
ture similar to the one erected three years
ago, but on the scale contemplated for
the ’jubilee of this year. The building will
be, therefore, a perfectly plain frame in
stead of a handsome building with high
lowers The loss is estimated at from
$20,000 to $40,000.
A. Fight wrrn AN Aixioatob. —A SUrkc
(Florida) letter totheSavannah News, sends
lo that paper the following account: On
the afternoon of the 30th, as Mr. William
Kelly, an old citizen of Bradford county,
was returning home from Starke, he espied
an alligator basking in the mud by the
roadside, lie dismounted and, taking a
hatchet from his cart, approached the rep
tile for a fight. Id the twinkling of an eye
his feet were knocked from under him, and
his leg caught in the monster’s mouth.
Being an old man, the fight would have
gone against him had not a colored man
by the name of George Ruff, who happened
to be passing along, despatched the alliga
tor with a pistol. Mr. Kelly’s leg was
considerably lacerated, so much so that Is
is probable he will never again attempt to
chop a Samian with his little hatchet.
There is~no art, with perhaps the ex
ception of mnslc, which is more extensive
ly cultivated among us than the art of
drawing. It is introduced into all of the
higher public schools, and Is considered
indispensable in private schools of any pre
tention. Thus every year a large num
ber of amateurs graduate, whose per
formances would not discredit profession
al artists. To draw well is to write so as
to be understood by all people, the lan
guage of the eye being the only universal
one.

Love Without Nonsense.
Not a Bit Like a Novel-A Capital
TakeolTon the XHak-PrcsMui e style
of Doing It.
Once upon a time there was a fair young
maiden, whose name was Mary, although
they called her Moll, for short. Bhe wasn’t
a tall, kark-eyed maiden, with clear, trans
parent skin, and lips like cherries, and
cheeks suffused with blushes. 81ie didu’t
have glossy black hair, sweeping back in
wavy tresses and her form wasn’t a bit like
Hebe’s. No, there were noneof these things.
On the contrary, she wasshortand thin,and
had red hair and freckles, and she also sport
ed snaggle teeth, aud wore pads; butstillshe
was a right nice girl, and there was a young
mau who fell in love witli her, and his
name was Bill, although his friends called
him William when they wanted to hurt his
feelings, for he didn’t like it much. He
wasn't fine-looking, and had neither curly
brown hair nor a moustache. Not much.
Bill laid himself out on soap-locks, and
wore a goatee that he had dyed twice a
week.
Now, this Bill was in love with Mary,
but did he go and make a deliberate ass of
himself? Did he, I say, go into a grove
with her, and in the soft moonlight, by the
streamlet that murmured sweetly by, and
with the tender zephyr sighing through the
foliage, fall down on his knees, seize her
jeweled hand, breathe his deep affection in
the tender accents of Cond attachment, and
swear “ by yon bright orb above us, always
to be thine ?” Did he, I say ? You can just
bet he didn’t. You can lay out your whole
revenue safely on that. William know too
much about the price of pants to go flop
ping around on the wet grass with his
good clothes on ; besides, he never cared
anything about streamlets or any kind of
cold water, except with his gin. No, sir, it
was exceedingly strange, but this infatuat
ed William met her at the alley gate, and
he stood right up on his old legs and says :
“Say, Moll, old gal, s’poseu vvti get hitch
ed ?”
But how did Mary behave ? Did she go
drooping to sleep over on the bricks in a
dead faint, or did she hide her gentle head
on his shirt bosom to conceal her blushes ?
No, she didn’t, and she didn’t say, “I’m
ever thine, my own love, dear William!”
Oh, my, uo. She looked right in his yel
low eyes and says “ I’m in, Billy ! I’m the
gal for these sort of t hings. Go in !” And
instead of referring him to her father, she
only said : “Won’t the old man bust right,
out when you tell film ! Isa ! lia !” and she
laughed. But she didn’t ask William to
try to mollify her fond father. No, no. She
very wickedly advised him to “ poke the
old man in the nose If he gave him any of
his lip.” She was a funny girl, this Mary.
Now, the old man wasn’t wealthy, for lie
sold soap-fat for a living, and so lie didn’t
think Bill was nosing around after his
stamps; so when Rill asked him, he neither
ordered him fiercely away, nor did the
dewey moisture gather in his eagle eye as
he passed his hemstitched up there and
said : “ Bless vou, my children, blows you !’’
Oh no, nothing or the sort. lie just blew
his old red nose In his bandanna and told
Bill to take her along, for he was glad to
get. rid of her, he was, and William would
be the same way mighty soon, for she was
awful rough on victuals, and always broke
plates when she got mad.
So, you see, there really was no necessi
ty for William to come at midnight’s
solemn hour, in a cnb, and throw a rope
ladder up to her window, and whistle three
times on his fingers, and then go up, hand
over hand, and bring her down in one hand
and the Inuik in the other, and a Land ■hii-w j
and an umbrella under each arm, and a
whole lit of bundles,and then get into the
cab and fly lo some distant shore. That’s
the way it would have been in a novel;
but Dili said lie wasn’t on that lay, and so
he just went out in the yard, and out of
pure joy, he 9kinned the cat three or four
times on the grape-vine arbor, and then
went and got in his butcher cart, and drove
Mary right down to the magistrate, to get
the job done for a quarter—for he said he
was some on low prices, he was.
But the very queerest thing of all was,
that BUI had no tail, dark, ruffianly rival,
with a scowling visage and black whiskers,
who flew at him with a drawn dagger and
horse-pistol in each hand, and a fmuttered
curse upon his lips, and cried wildly for
“ Revenge.” Ila! ha 1 and said: “ Death!”
and “ Villian, thou diest!” Not anv- There
was another fellow in love with Moliie, to
be sure, but he was a weak-eyed young
man, who had sandy hair, and wore spec
tacles and a choker collar, and always look
ed scared when you hollared at him. Ho,
when he saw that Bill had the best of the
girl’s affections, he looked all serene, and
said: “Go In, Billy, if you hanker for her
and as Bill was a trifle on the hanker, he
sailed right in.
Bo William, you see, had no trouble at
all—and yon couldn’t get up an agonizing
novel about him if you tried. He didn’t
have any urgent business that called him
to a foreign land, and so lie had to bid her
a fond good-bye, and swear always to be
true, and then go away and forget her, and
fall in love with a dark eyed Italian girl,
picking grapes In a vineyard, with a square
towel folded on her head, while his forgot
ten and forsaken Mary gradually faded and
pined away, and battled the physician’s
skill, and grew paler, and at last, when the
June roses were in bloom, lying gently
down to die, while through the open window
flooded in the balmy odor of jessamine and
honeysuckle. And William didn’t come
home at last, and, filled with deathless re
morse, go daily to the sweet cemetery and
strew flowers on her grave, and teach his
children to lisp her name. Not at all. That
is the way Mrs. E. D. E. N. Bouthworlli
would have done it, tint she wasn’t round.
Billy was a butcher, who wore a white
shirt and a shiny hat, and he stayed at
home aud killed beef and sold it at a big
price, atid stuck to Mary, and she kept
healthy and wasn’t much on the pine, or
the fade, while if any fellows got to lurking
around, William went, right out and bat
ted them In the eye, he did.
And then, at last,, when all was over,
Mary didn’t, sit In the room, while they
dressed her In white, and mixed orange
blossoms in her waterfall, and then go gen
tly down stairs with six brldesmalnds at
her heels, and stand up with her William,
and weep gently while she was being mar
ried by the minister, and then get lots of
presents, and then go to her new house,
and live through all the happy years with
Riliy, and never know sorrow or trouble
any more. Why, of course, she didn’t, for
it wasn’t her style, yon see.
Bhe just rushed up stairs and put on her
pink muslin and her old sun bonnet, and
had nary bridesmaid, and went to the ma
gistrate’s and never wept a particle, aud
got no presents but fifteen cents from the
old man to pay her car hire, and when she
got to the magistrate’s she just rose off the
the bench and told Bill she dldnt see much
use in splicing, and that she didn’t like
him anyhow; and so she went home, and
Bill he went with her, and told her he
wasn’t sorry, as he didn’t want her, and he
guessed she was harden her clothes, any
how, and so they never got married, and
the whole thing turned out wrong; but I
couldn’t help It; fori ain’t going to put
facts on record that stint so. Bat it ain’t
a bit like any novel that lever read, so
so there must have been something strange
about this fellow and Mobile that I never
could And out, so I’ll have to let it slide
as it Is.
The majority of swindlers and adven
turers infesting the metropolis for the past
two or throe years, have been, and arc, It is
said, English instead of Italians, Poles and
Hungarians as formerly.
A New York gentleman broke off his en
gagement with a lady recently after the
wedding cards had been printed, because
she would not follow his advice as to how
the bridal party should stand at the altar.
