KILLKD WHILE PLAYliiG BASIlBAtL fStatesvih'e Landmark. ; Astudent at Davidson ColIega, a youth from Sumter,S.C, whose name we hatea't learbed, was playing base ball last FridiyJ when he fell with great force on his stomach. He suf fered a great deal, as a matter of icourse, but nqthir-e serious was though! of the occurrence at the time, and last Saturday morning he died, lie i3 the second victim o bass ball among the students of Davidson Col lege. Some years ago Mr. Watson Hurnple, a son of Iter.

Says lie tonc: .- Och, A SHEEP IN A SHIRT. Nathville American-I An incident which was both rich and racy, and quite laughable, actu ally did occur near Smyrna, Tennes see, a few weeks ao, which was about as follows: One of our neighb,or?,Mr T. D , sheared fhe Ions wool off of his favorite pet sheep.- As the shades of evening began to gather the air grew chilly. Mr. D., being a man of much sympathy, and in order to make his pet as pleasant as possible, took a shirt and pulled it over the body of the sheep and outtoned the collar around the sheep s neck, and let the sleeves hang loose, like a pair of wings. Mr. D. s faithful dog espied this wondeiful freak of art and nature, and made baftle at the poor creature at once. The poor sheep jumped the vard fence and ran for his life. It ran into the public road just as Mrs, IU II. Nicholson and he infant child chanced to be riding by. Her horse grew frightened, and ran for several hundred yards, but, as fate would have it, she remained firm in her sad dle, and neither she nor the c lild was hurt. On the following morning this wonderful, celebrated sheep nade its appearance in Joe Derrberry's field, where its visit caused a general stura pede; where the snapping of trace chains and knocking down fences, and the word "Whoa! whoa! hoa!" bursting from the mouths of plough boys) made music in the ait. During tjie flay Mr. D. was seen hunting a sheep that could be easily identified, because it hud d shirt on. A DANGEUOUS AMUSEMENT. In a party in St. Joseph, Mo., was a young man "noted for his brilliant conversational powers," and a beau tiful girl "from one of the upper counties ;" and in the course of a struggle for the possession of a trin ket" 'the giil eauk her ivory teeth! ir.to the llcby rart of th y oung man's arm." lie politely concealed bis pain till he returned home', when, on removing his garments, blood was found trickling from the wound. rNext morning the lacerated arm was found swollen to twice its natural size, and he was kid up for several days. The St. Joseph paper, lh re lating the incident, refers to anoher and worse one of a similar nature that occurred at Cape Girardeau a few years ago, in which a young gen tleman actually died from a playful bite 011 bis thumb by a young Udy. The paper remarks: "It frequently happens that the bite of a woman is poisonous." 1 -DANGER OF LONG SKIRTS. tEscbaoge. The danger of long skirts is advanced on the belief that it was a woman who fits? stum bled and fell in the jam on the Droo hn bridge. In this ceo. is saidr foo, thai! tlie stum- nection it bllng of a woman causeu me iaiai block at the Brooklyn Theafre in 1S7G, and tpe same cause is assigned to the fatal block iu a Catholic church a few years ago. And so it seems, in all our accidents, since ihe time of Madam Eve, we put the blame on the woman, and that no matter what may happen a woman is st.ll ;at the bottom," as! poor creature, she really wasin his panic,and, in most others, with a great heap of sturdy men piled oa top of her. POOR CARLOTTA." The exEmpress Charlotte cf Mex- ico, sister to theKtng oftue Belgians, is in a much more tranquil sfate of mlna than formerly. Her splendid black hair has whiiencd,but her health is good, ind she has recovered from the attack "f madness which followed her being told of the execotion of Miximilian. She is very fond of mu sic, spending many hours in playing duets wUh cne cf her maids cl honor, atti alio ihows muqh interest in her garden. When the weather is fine he walks a great deal ia the park surrounding Lei Chateau de Bouch ant, and plays with a dog which the Queen of the Belgians one day res cued from some boys mho were tor taenting it, and gave it to hersister- in-law. Thirty mes took rejuge ia a barn during a thunder stotta near Raven cs, 3lissouri ; the barn was struck by lightning and three of the men were killed and others injured. RUNNING A- NEWSPAPER. AWFtT L FATE OF A M4N WnO Til OUGHT HE COULD DO IT. ; The man who knows haw to run a newspaper came into the office yes terday, i He sat down in the chair, and pulled all the exchanges into his bp, and began his criticism., 'I ought to have been an editor, said he, 'just to show you fellows how easy it ia to run a newspaper.- Why don't-you pitch into the .com mon council f Peoplo want aope kind of excitement. Give the police thun der for not atten Jing to business.' -1 It will wake the people up. Cjcsar, wouldn't make it hoi for'em if I had anything to do with at paper!' ' S'pose you run th's office for two hours fo suit yourself !' All right. Just Ietmedoit:. I'll show you the hottest article you ever saw. Give mo the pencil' : , Wo left him sitting in the editorial chair. ; We met Jm Jones, a driller frcm AlamagpozelomJ ' Where's the editor?' said he. 'Up stairs at hisUesk, was the re ply.. ;. ; Jones had blood in his eyes,' and he bounded up two steps af a time, while we waited at the foot of the stairs for developments. In about two minutes we saw the dictionary fly out of the upper window, then there was a sound as of a chair be mg smashed, followed by loud yells, and in two seconds moie the door flew onen and Ibe wuuld-bc editor came rolling down stairs, i . 4 Y hat s your hurry! we asked, as he flew by us. ' Sit dowh and tell us how to run a newspaper' we contin ucd, as he struck he sidewalk. But he never slopped. Ie ju3t Hew fell in the across tue sidewalk and utter. And such ai 1 ight ! His nose wat. kaoLMl rMwtM odq eve was black at a thunder-cloud, bis hair stood on end, his coat was ripped down the back, and one sleeve torn out. Jones was coming; down the stairs, and the would be editor jump ed and run up the railroad with Jones close at his 'heels, yelling ' I ain't the editor at.cveiy jump he took. He hasn t returned. We fear his youthful dream of running a newspa per has been nipped in the bud by the frost of adverse circumstances. MY ANGEL. New Haven Eegister. Just stroll around to back kitchen doors on Monday, if you want to see how pretty she is.- There she stands, queen of the wash-tub, princess ot the clothes-wringer. Watch her as she plays a light pianissimo solo on tbe washboird, ever and anon increas ing to crescendo, and occisionally bursting out in a staccato movement that rips the buttons eff the wrist bands. Her-hands are parboiled,her elbows dimpled, her face redolent with sudsy steam. If she hastily wipes her hands on her pron and scodts out of sight, bid her u lasting good-bye. But if she rests with her hands on her hips and bids you "good morning' in a cheery toni don t linger a great'while. She means to give jou a dose of warm water, just as soon as you get near enough. Call on her in the evening; and if she can't play the piano as well as she does the washboard, never mind; Go ahead. Say your iitile say A NEW YORK SEN'S ATI ON.
