A celebrity Dead. The following was translated by Mr. C. F. Millerl of this' eity, from the Swedish Now York North Star, for the Daily Times : The celebrated American skater, Jackson Haines, expired Juue SSd, in the town of Old Karleby, Finland. His last words to his friends by his bedside were: " Bury mo at Stock-! halm, Sweden.” Born tttul ruisßM in tho Uuitca i States, knowing and known in all t he European countries, everywhere win ning laurels. Of all countries he loved Sweden the best, and of all cities Stockholm was ’his choice, there he I delighted in spending his leisure time, there he wished to die. Jack son Haines’ birthplace was Boston, Massachusetts. As his father was in good circumstances ho wished his j son to become a merchant, accord ingly he was put in an office, but the ice ami skating rink were by far more ! attractive to him than the desk, and the office Boor burnt the feet that were made for sliding on ice, encased in steel shoes, lie soon made a repu tation in Boston, then in New York, and finally excelled every member of these cities’ skating clubs. Gradu ally he conceived the idea that ska ting ought and could be made equal ly as attractive a branch of art as dancing. This he proved to the world by his subsequent career, us no one that has ever wit nessed his feats in public exhibi tions on tile ice would doubt that his motions, at least, rivalled in beauty, ease and grace the best performances of any ballet-dancer. His pieces when not, comic—were beforehand as accurately calculated, studied and practiced as a ballet-piece. He al ways described figures, that he had previously drawn on paper, to which i lie affixed some suitable music which i regulated the length and number of steps to be taken. Asa consequence he very seldom appeared in public without accompaniment of music. The writer of this hud once the pleas ure of seeing his sketches. Some represented houses, others land scapes, but mostly rggular returning curved ornaments, something like u piece or lore or rich embroidery. Comparatively only a few of the be holders knew that Jackson Haines had adopted this plan in order to at tain the greatest possible ease in mo tion. But no one will now say that he did not succeed. The “King of Skaters,” as ho was called in Eurojie, was at his death, which was caused by inflammation | of the lungs; 36 years of age. Cast a Line far yourself. A young man stood listlessly watch ing some anglers on n bridge. He was poor ana dejected. At last, ap proaching a basket filled with whole some looking fish, he sighed “If. now, I had these, I would be happy. I could se.ll them at a fair price, and buy me food and lodging.” “I will give you just as many and just as good fish,” said kilo owner who chanced to overhear his words, “if you will do a trilling favor.” “And what is that V” asked the oth er. eagerly. “Only to tend this line till I come back. "I wish to go on a short er rand.” The proposal was gladly accepted. The old man was gone so long that the young man began to be impa tient. Meantime the hungry fish snapped at the baited hook, and t lie young man lost all his depression in the excitement of pulling them in; and when the owner returned, lie hud caught a large number. Counting out from them as many os were in the basket, and presenting them to the young man, the old fish erman said: "1 fulfill my promise from the fish you have caught, to teach you, when ever you see others earning what you need, to waste no time in fruit less wishing, but to cast a line for yourself.” —- - - The change in the climate of Color ado is most likely owing lothc evap oration of water from their system of irrigation, and its condensation by t fie cobl nignt air from the mountains. The days being warm and the nights cool, currents from the mountains set in toward the valleys at nightfall, und continue until morning. It was pre dicted in early days that irrigation would supersede irrigation by promo ting rainfall. - At a religious revival of the colored people now in progress at Palestine, Texas, a song is sung of which those two lines are specimens: •‘Whit kind of shoes Sh dein you wear. I>at makes you walk so light an’ quare?” COLUMBUS Female College! FIRST SESSION BEGINS First Monday in October. College established on the University plan.
