Th* Oldest Inhabitant Outdone by h Member of the Ananias Club. ‘‘lf I don't miss my guess very much - we will have snow before morning,” exclaimed Patrolman Josh Spears. “If you remember, the winter of 1762-63 was a very open one. In fact, I if I remember rightly, there was but little weather too chilly for a man to go in his shirt sleeves. Why, I was run- , ning around tlien barefoot, quite a chnnk of a lad. It was in many re spects a most remarkable winter. For instance, we cut hay on the Ist of Jan uary. Weil, the winter went away and spring happened along. It was Just like any other spring; but an old In dian chief who lived near our house in Brown county said that before the year was done the winter would make up for lost time. We didn't pay much at tention "to the warning, laughing it away as an idle jest, and soon it dropped out of mind entirely. -The 23d day of August, 1763, was the hottest day I ever knew. The sun raised blisters on the street pavements, and wells a thousand feet deep went dry. It was not safe for any person to be where the sun could get a good square lick at him. If lie did he would shrink up and die right there. About 7 o’clock in the evening a Light braezo came up, and the people ventured out In the western sky there was just sueh-a cloud as I pointed I out to you a few minutes ago. We didn’t know what it meant then, but i we found out later on. By 8 o’clock t iiat evening the atmosphere was cool and pleasant, and every one went to bed to cateh a little sleep, for the intense heat of the previous nights had driven sleep from our eyes. In the morning there was six feet of snow all over J,he town. Every bit of running water was now frozen, wells and cisterns were frozen solid, all grain und vegetable life were killed, and flowers withered before the snow like bananas before my friend Hart. Several Is mses where the win dows had been left opened were half tilled with snow. It was a cracking cold morning, the mercury was 60 degs lielow zero and.it seemed to be'growing chillier every minute. <•About 11 o’clock a high wind came up, and the snow was piled in drifts about the city. It was banked up against the Lutheran church to a lioight of 70 feet. As if that was not enough, at 2 o’clock in the afternoon the enow commenced falling again. It. did not come down like plain, every day winter snow. There were no flakes, but spheres about the size of base balls. They were as hard as chilled steel rnitli they struck the earth, and then they burst, not because of the liardness of | the ground alone— though It was frozen so hard that it could not be broken with dynamite cartridges- but there was a peculiar atmospheric condition a | that was heightened when the snow ball came in contact with the earth, and this brought about the bursting I mentioned previously. There was not the least bit of noise attendant on the j bursting—or, I might say, by a violent attack on the English language that the explosion was perfectly noiseless. But a thousand different colors darted ami dashed from the fragments. It . was the most wonderful pyrotechnic display I ever witnessed. It was broad daylight, too. The result of this 2 strange unnatural shower of snowballs was that over fifty feet .of snow was r piled upon that city" “Where —where were the people?’ asked Sergt. Joyce in a voice faint from * suppressed emotion. "Dead. Every one of them dead. In . tiiat city of 25.000 souls not a single person escaped. They were smothered by the snow or killed by the pellets i that came from the clouds. No living tiling, not even a dog, escaped, and when the glad sunshine came out again and melted the snow, tlie raging waters washed the buildings from the face of the earth, and to this day not a sign can be found of the once beautiful and en- , terprising city." At this moment a commotion oc curred at the front door, Sergt. John Lowe rushed breathlessly into the room with the intelligence that a man had been frozen to death on Blake street, near Indiana avenue, and the club tiled out to capture the body before it could get away.—lndianapolis News.

He Wanted toAccompany the Aer onaut and Drooped to the Ground From the Distance • of a Thousand Feet. New York, Sept. 2 —A special from Woodfield, Ohio says: Pio Lessor Carter, the leronaut, gave a balloon ascension at, the fairgrounds here yesterday. The balloon was a simple hot air affair, and was kept in position by ropes held by sland ers. When everything was in readiness the :eronaut gave the word to let go. The balloon shot upward, and the thousands of spectators were horri fied to see a man dangling at the end ofoneof the small linos. Millon Redin, a prominent young man of this county, attempted to climb into the basket, and Professor Carter tried to assist him by drawing him |upby a rope. When at a height of over a thousand feet, the balloon too', a sudden lurch and Redin’s hold was loosened,and his body shot downward. It was found half a mile away, crushed out of all human sem blance. STILL L'NDEII QL'AIIAN’fINE.

ARREST OF DESPERADOES. Winchester, Ry,. Sept. 2.—Capt. Gaither, with about thirty soldiers, arrived here last evening, having in charge twelve of the notorious French Eversole faction, who have been a terror to the law-abiding cit izens of southeastern Kentucky for the past two or three years. After turning the prisoners over to the jailer of Clark county’, Capt. Gaither and his men went on to Lexington last night. All the prisoners are un der indictments for murder, but this fact docs not appear to have a very depressing effect on their spirits: French and Eversole arc young men, and their appearance does not give any indication of the desperate characters they have all proved themselves to be.

A PROFESSIONAL BACKSTOP. How a Haseball Catcher Should Train for HI, Season's Work. The training of the catcher has in it less variety, and is in consequence far more tedious than tliat of the pitcher. The work of strengthening the muscles of the shoulder and arm is the same as that described for the pitcher; but in tile throwing practice the catcher ' should devote his attention to the ■ shortarm throw. He should liegin at the short distance of perhaps fifty feet, and increase that distance very gradu ally. In fact, he ought, even when he i can readily throw the full distance j from home to second with comparative I ease, to do most of his throwing at two thirds that distance. After the nine lias begun to work in the field it is not I advisable for tiie catcher to throw to ■ second anything like the number of i times the majority of amateurs attempt dailw Only after the nine has been out of doors for two or three weeks is ■ so much of the full distance throwing ■ safe for any catcher who wishes to have i his arm in good condition. The position of the feet in throwing is all important. If he boa strong man of moderate weight ho can and should ■ throw without changing the position of the feet. Totliis object his gymnasium practice should be devoted. Standing steadily upon his feet in the exact po sition assumed at the moment of catch ing the ball, lie should, with a slight swing at the hips, be able to send the ball down. Throwing in a cage with a low ceilit the best tiling possible f>r him, an it >r c-s him to throw hard i and on a line. I A point of catcher’s practice, w hich , does not enter into the work of the i pitcher, is that of toughening the hands. Rowing on the machines, climb ing the rope, swinging on the Hying rings and handball, if there are any courts for that'excellent game, will all tend toward this end. He should con sider, however, that it is not merely toughening the skin of the hands that is desirable, but also hardening the flesh so that it is not easily bruised. For this reason he should “pass ball'’ with out gloves regularly every day. At the outset he should receive no swift balls, and should stop at the first feeling of pr.) thing beyond a moderate tingling of the palms. His hands should receive their full preparatory hardening before he goes out into the field, for ordinary carefulness demands that he should do no catching behind the bat after the season commences except with hands thoroughly protected by well padded gloves. What is called a stone bruise is one of the tenderest and most lasting mementoes of carelessness in this respect.. In his gymnasium practice he should wair the mask. This seems to most catchers a useless bore, but the cap tain or coach should insist upon it, and the mask should become almost a part of the catcher himself. All his throwing and catching should be performed w ith his eyes behind its wires, in order that, from becoming thoroughly accustomed to it, it may add no inconvenience to bis work. The breastplate need not be so rigor ously insisted upon, but even this should bo worn frequently. The right hand glove must always be worn when practicing throwing, in order that this also shall offer no unusual difficulty in the later work. Many a catcher may think that it looks silly to stand up with a mask and glove on to throw at a mark; but there is every reason for doing this, and he will himself ap preciate the value of such practice when lie stands accoutered on the field behind the batsman and. with a runner on first. As often as it is convenient the catcher, particularly if a novice, should have some one swing the bat before him wliile he is “passing ball’’ in the gymnasium. By the tin*) he gets out of doors he should be thoroughly ac customed to the close proximity of the batsman.—Walter Camp in St. Nicho las. The Material of Dumas’ Stories. For the backgrounds of his stories Dumas went naturally to the epoch of Intrigue, his mots de la fin would not easily have come from the bars of a helmet in the rougher older days; it is the thrust of the rapier he loves rather than the downright blow of the heavy sword, the coup d’estoc rather than the coup do taiUe. His is the true drama de cape et d'epee, as the French have always called it, and his dialogue is its exponent—the cloak to dissimulate, the eword to attack and defend. The whole epoch of Louis XIII and of Mazarin was mask and dagger, con spiracy and duel. Dumas leads us among a gilded dramatis jiersonaj; he loves a noble, and though he, distrusted princes the royal blood was never quite a common ichor to him. His artist side responded eagerly to the pictur esqueness of the court.—E. 11. and E. W. Blaslifield in Scribner’s. Apparent Idleness. Sometimes apparent idleness is only a change of work.
