A large eurj uSiue tooting leistiiTv down the street,; tig in Imrmart, ami drawing it sled uisjn which, in a elate of supreme bliss, was tie- eiiterinising urchin wno had conceived the Idea of util izing dog-power. They conducted themselves with a calm dignity, that boy and dog, aud, when the hoy met 41 couple of other boys of his acquaint-, once and stopped Ins conveyance for a little chat, there was just a shade of, cOOdeseenstonin ids manner to those -whohad to walk. The youth on the sled entered into earnest conversation With one of the boys on the ground, and while the two wore thus engaged theot-ber hoy took occasion, unobscrv •ed, to pall out a piece of string and ■attach un old oyster-can iirmly to the ■dog's tail, leaving interval enough between tail and can to allow the latte: a degree of play. J'he inter view terminated and the boy on the sled started up ids dog. At the first .move the animal discovered that his tail wasn’t all right, and ig the lirst rattle of the tin he took iu the situa tion and acted precisely as <ither dogs have been known to do under similar cimurestanees. He just raised up his hair all along his back, curled his tail under him, laid his ears over, open.-I his mouth, struck up some thing from Wagner, and started! Commodore Vanderbilt, when he takes a special train and travels sixty miles an hour, doesn’t make half so ■good time as that dog did. He straightened himself out and gather ed himself up in awful leaps, and when he straightened then* wasn’t an inch of space between I lie ground and ilia abdomen, and when lie gathered IM looked like a horse-shoe magnet, three feet high. The boy gave one jj#p when the dog started, and tlieu tightened his grip on the sled ; he slid down into the position known among the youth as “Ccllybuster,” and there iiestm-K. The procession dog, can, boy and sled went down tbe street like a whirlwind, swerving neither to the right nor left. When the wagon crossed tlic dog's path he flew under it, and on suon Joccasions the boy's hair would flop up like the wig of the end man at a Biiustrel show. Final Iv a coal wagon canto in sight, I and it becameapiarent that it would be a close shave unless the dog t timed a little, but the dog never swerved - he was too intent on reaching the end of the world. The wagon didn’t cross the (street quick enough ; there was a crash against one of t ie l hind wheels, and a hoy with a bloody nose and one runner of the sled remained in the imtm iliate vicinity, while the dog and the rest of the sled passed Into the dimmest kind of perspective. • ♦ • A Hi'alllhiM AKfinbtakf. Accord!uk to Lucy Hoojkt, the re cent grand official Dali at the Elysec- 1 tu Payi*, was as noted for its may, nitieient rite) .lay of diamonds and , dress as for the absence from it of j beautiful women. Diamonds were as plentiful us pebbles on tly* seashore, but not one really beautiful woman was present. There were tnugnill eenkdreS'es. all lace ami velvet and rich embroidery; there were poetic dresec- all shimmering green, with water lillies, or silvery gauze with moonlight effects of cloudy drapery, or snowy white adorned with soft fringe- of lillies of the valley ; there were eo*tume-like dresses that, hint ed of Joan of Arc, or Marie de Med ieis, or Mine, de Pompadour; there were some tine eyes, fine shoulders ami graceful figures, but as for strik ijjjf loveliness of tho ladies there was none of it. The woman who did not have on a diamond neeklae-' did not look exactly in full dress. One lady, a Russian princess, won l magnifi cent emeralds, the centre stone of a brooch she wore being one huge round emerald, cut without facets, and about the size of an English walnut. Attached to this brooch, in the guise of a pendant, hung a j/car slmped emerald corresponding in di mensions. A cornet of emeralds and diamonds, iutersjiersed with pendent ]>eaj' slia|s| emeralds, made up the ornaments of this mueh-jeweledla ly. President MucMahon’s wife appeared in a dress of silver-frosted azure tulle, caught up in front en tablier, witli a wreath of water lillies, over a skirt of light blue silk, bordered with a deep plaited flounce. The corsage was or namented with silver lace and water lillies. In her hair she wore a spray of water lillies and a bandeau of sil ver-frosted tulle, confined by a tiara of diamonds, and around tier neck was clasped a diamond necklace. As to the gentleman, they were almost us well worth lookingatasthe ladies, in their uniforms blazing with stars, Hrosses and gold lace. VoHrier-Jmtr p ol UKATII BKHIVII THU HCKXKH. A Terri til) Heal Tra*ra> in a Chlraxo Theatre. j’lph.'-a Tritmne, VVlrrriary '2,1.1 K The audience which laughed over gahe (K-rformanee at Hooley's theatre ia-t evening, little knew of the pain- Ijful event which occurred behind the Scenes before the curtain rose. Had any hint been given of the desperate Mature of the accident which hap piDened just as the orchestra eommenc- Sed the overture, it is a question which gfeven the droHeries of Crane, forced, gtfndeed, for oner in his life, would ■have been able to keep the house in Spueh a condition of merriment as it ■enjoyed. I The orchestra had, as such, just opened the overture. The actors wore below in their dressing rooms, preparing for the rise of the curtain. The stage was set in readiness for tho commencement of tho play, when a crash was heard, which shook the entire prooenlum, ami was audible in the front of the house. Noises of this kind, made by falling . scenery and such things, are not un common, and no attention was paid ito it below. Ouo actor called out, ! “The steamboat has exploded too | soon.” Another remarked,‘‘They are crowding in so fast they have to itonio through the roof,” while sitni | lar jocular remarks were made. Those on the stage, however, were j aware in u moment what had hap pened. Before them, his skull J mashed to atoms his brains scuttcr ied over tho broken flooring.of the { stage, with blood gushing from what remained of his eyes, oars, mouth, I and nose, was one of the scene sliitt ers, John Goodwin. The alarm was given, aud everybody gathered I round. Mr. Crane had him carried | beiow, and sent onr for a surgeon, for the poor fellow’s pulse still beat feebly. A minute later, anil not a sign of life remained. The unfortunate young man had , evidently climbed to the carpenter's I shop, some sixty feet above the stage, before the hour of opening the theatre, and Imd fallen to sleep. The first note of the orchestra had uwak -len him, and lie had risen to come | down to attend to business. It was pitch dark upon the narrow platform upon which lie lay; there was no ' guard-rail, and in stepping forward, lie had gone in tlie wrong direction, and actually stctuied off of the nar row platform, falling upon his head. The flooring of the stage was broken j by the concussion.
