Half an Hour of Darkness at Midday and Gas Lights Necessary, ‘THE PHENOMENOX DUE TO SMOKE FROM FOREST PIRES ‘MIXED WITH 4 DENSE LAKE POG—PERIL OF STEAM- ERS—CURIOUS FREAKS OF WELLS AND SPRINGS. A darkness like that of Egypt fell on Chicago about 9 o'clock Saturday, and scared timid folk into the belief that the end of the world had come. A spectal from Chicago to the New York World says: It was about as dark as it is ordinarfly at 6 O'clock in the morning at this time of year. The town seemed enveloped im thick masses of inky vapor and the air was stagnant and very humid. Gas had to be lighted in many places where people Were at work or else labor was suspended until the darkness passed, which ft did in about half an hour. Old-timers, who remember the weather away back in 1837, or pretend a had never days the forest fires, and unusual fog, made ‘The signal- service people said that there was nothing —por- ‘tentous in the phenomenon.

A fog never de- scends, for it has its origin in the lake generally, and it travels astraight line through the air with the wind. The clouds were mixed with the smoke from the forest fires in Wisconsin, which has been anging over this region for a wee! at_made the oe all the Worse; in fact, either alone would not have produced any very astonishing appearance.” Relights indoors continued all ce he burning of day. Out on ‘the ‘the gloom was simply 1m- penetrable. A lookout stationed on the bridge ot & steamer could not see her bows, and he had to depend entirely upon his compass and his whistle to avoid the beach or belated craft. There was @ Uttle incident off Grosse Point about noon that Serves to illustrate how impenetrable the atmos- phere was. The big tug Morford was workin: slowly south toward the harbor and the City 0 New ‘York was coming in the opposite direction. AS the to boats approached each other their sig- nals were sounded with greater frequency, and they finally got so close together that they were brought toa standstill. Neither captain dared to xo ahead, for neither knew the position of the other and was not willing to risk a collision, The boats drifted so clove together finally that conver- sation between the sailors was distinctly audible aboard both. Then the captains hatied each other and chatted for upward of ten minutes about their bearings. ‘They talked in an ordinary conversa- tional ‘tone, but neither could see the other nor could they see each other's vessel. Even inside the harbor there were times when fog signals had to be used by tug captains, especially when they Rete approaching bridge draws or rounding sharp Ss ‘the heavy rain which setin at 10 o'clock last night extinguished the forest fires in Wisconsin and ended the remarkable drought that has pre- vVailed so long in Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and parts of Iowa. Many places have not experienced @ good soaking rain before in many months. There has been great distress for want of water in these localities.” Wells have gone dry, springs have ceased to flow, and streams have disappeared en- Urely. ‘The farmers have been compelied, in many eases, to haul water a dozen miles or more to keep their stock alive. Such a scarcity of water has never been known in the West. It has been ac- companied by many strange phenomena. While the ‘drought was at {ts worst, an old well near Mattoon suddenly filled almost to the top, and is now Supplying the Illinois Central Company with suMictent to haul away. A well 40 feet deep, dry and abandoned all summer, near Fisher, 15 miles | from here, suddenly filled with water to within B feet of the surface. The Sangamon River, at a — in the same neighborhood, was perfectly iry, but all at once to run with water and without 8 drop of Tain in the country. ‘he Strange spring which burst out on Rising’s farm, near a Station, five miles from Champaign, a few days since, astonishing the whole country, still pours out abundant Water, which, dammed up, has formed a great reservoir, supplies the neighborhood. ir week a sinoky, murky atmosphere has hung ov all this part of the country, and every day ti suffering peopie expected rain that did not fal Factories were obi to close for lack of water to make steam. Artesian wells were bored in Many places without success. In some of the Worst afflicted counties cattle died for want of Water. Prayer-meetings for rain have been neld regularly for weeks in many of the towns. It is almost impossible to exaggerate the amount of Suffering there has been, or the Joy that is felt at last night's rain. Dispatches from Indiana say that the rain bas been falling there for forty hours, and is the first good rain in six months. Railroads there had been obliged to haul water in tanks for many tniles in order to have supplies in the drought-aMicted regions for their engines. The farmers whose crops Were a failure last season are greatly rejoiced. ‘The most of the forest fires in Wisconsin were in Clark County, where the pine timber was as dry a5 tinder from the long-continued drought, and a large area was burned over. Trains that ran Ubrough the fire came out bilstered and blackened.

There have also been great firesin the dry forests of Southera lilimois and Indiana resulting from the long drought. The rain has put them all out. American Cowboy vs. English Jockey. ‘From the London Standard. At the Agricultural Hall last night (November 15) the mam feature of the “World’s Athletic Car- nival” was a 20-mile riding match between Marve Beardsley, a noted express rider before the Amert- ean continent was girdled with tron roads, and J. Rellew, a young English jockey of great promise, at present serving bis apprenticeship to Mr. Wood. Each man used ve horses, changing Will, and the race Was run on the tan’ track, seven laps to the mile. Beardsley was one of the horse- men in the recent contest, and this, of course, gave hhim a fainiliarity with the track, which stood “nim in good stead as against his antagonist; but this Was @ minor advantage compared with bis im- mense superiority in what may be termed the equine gymnastics practived by the cowboysof the ‘West in imitation of the red men of the prairies. Marve Beardsley won the match solely by his capacity for remounting quickly, the sort of Work for which, of course, an Englishman bas no special training." Jumping'from one horse at a bound, he Tushed at his new mount, near oF off side indiffer- ently, caught hold of the bridle and saddie, and, starting 1U'at a gallop, scrambled into the saddle While going at full speed with ease and agility. Young Kellew, who rides admirably, might safely De backed against Beardsley ina Of dis. tance zace, irom the capacity he exhibited of nursing and getting the best out of his mount; but for rapidly changing from one horse to another he was, as compared with his rival, ‘simply nowhere. Moreover, once his bridle broke, and he was thrown, and very narrowly escaped being tram- pled on. He was up, however, like lightning, Tushed back @quarter'lap for a fresh horse, an Was off In graud style before all the spectators Were aware of What had occurred. ‘This lost lin & lap, while another lap was lost from Marve Beardsiey’s splendid agility in remounting. This loss was effected early in the race, after Rellew had led for a short time, but as between two and three laps the English Jockey again and again caught and passed Beardsiey, though the track Was barely wide enough to accomplish the feat, and, though he was beaten, he certainly lost no credit by his defeat. Beardsley uitimately won by two laps and one iength, = “o Why Andrew Johnson Declined Wi Indianapolis Letter in the Chicago Tribune.

Inside of the boat floated by the ballcon, or on the bottom of the boat, six electric lamps were attached, which were con- nected with an electric battery ‘on the ground by means of wires running along the rope which held the balloon captive. On the ground there was a Morse telegraphic “apparatus.

Full-Fledged Witches, SUPERSTITIONS IN SOUTHERN INDIAN. RED-HOT HORSESHOE. About sixty years ago many of the people resid- ing in the neighborhood of East Enterprise were Possessed of a delusion that witches were a reality and that a number of their neighbors were full- fledged witches, possessed of remarkable powers, even to the saddiing and bridling a man and with sharp spurs riding him all over the worst roads a distorted mind could imagine. The next morning the poor man would be so tired and sore that he could hardly move. At other times the a housewife would churn half a day and would not get a particle of butter. The only remedy was to take an Old horseshoe that had been worn on the left foot of a bald-face horse and heat it hot and drop it into the churn, which was pretty certain to expel the terrible witch. ‘One who tried the experiment said: “When I dropped the red-hot shoe into the churn I heard something ran off the root of the house, and 1 Smelt hair just as sure as you are born, and in ave minutes I had a churn nearly full of butter. The next day I saw the woman that I believed had be- witched the butter, and her hair was crisped on one side in the very shape of a horseshoe.” If the above remedy failed, the next thing to do was to draw a life-size pi ire of the supposed witch and nail it upon a tree and run a silver bul- Jet out of a silver dollar and shoot the image. ‘The last act was considered a complete cure. ‘One of the ardent believers in wit man — ee oy of had eense in other matters, in our hearing what a tryt1 ordeal he had ee through afew evenings be fore.

When the hens tailed to hatch their it was laid on the witches. The witches always did their worst work on Friday. If the rail fences fell down when they were covered with sleet and ice the witches were blamed with it.

It ts no uncommon thing for a mature condor to have a 15-foot spread of wing. Their bodies are very heavy, and on the ground the bird 1s clumsy, It cannot rise for flight without running rapidly forward 50 yards or so to give it necessary momen- tum, especially if it 1s gorged with food, which 1t always will be if food ¢an be obtained. ’ As a con- sequence, every condor that alighted in one of these inclosures was as much a prisoner as if he were chained down to the ground, and the sports. man Kept hm there to serve his pleasure, Wien he wanted to ride after a condor the owner of the pen, generally with a friend or two similarly at liberty, they at once started at the Cop of their speed to take the long run that would enable them to rise on the wing, and after they had made one- uarter of the distance the huntsmen put spurs to Uheir horses and dashed after.

Chittenden obtained this sample from a woman after promising to conceal it until he should leave the country. ‘The captain did not say what he fave in return for this most interesting curtosity, jut it is Known that a similar one was secured it exchange for six slaves at $300 each, elghty elk- skins at $3 each, ten, boxes of oll at $3 a box, two dance dresses valued at $45 a piece, and a canoe 84 feet long, valued at $90, the whole amounting 10 $2,250, The collection also includes a very extraord!- nary set of gambling sticks used by the natives. ‘The usual set contains fitty sticks, Dut. this one 18 composed of only twenty-six, They are cylindri- cal in form and about 4 inches long. ‘Twenty-four of them are beautifully carved with the images of fish, birds, and beasts found in tuat region. The Pechliar feature of the set is that two of the sticks are carved with human figures almost exact counterparts of the figures found on the old Egypt- fan monuments and in Assyrian carving. One Tepresents @ high priest with his ax raised to slay the sacrifice. The other Is the figure of a mummy. ‘The fire-making implement of these is narrow piece of walrus tusk about afoot and a half long, shaped like a bow, and on which are en- graved hunting scenes, To this is attached a seal- skin string. is made by ‘turn of the string around a stick of hard wood, and by these means revolving it against another piece of hard wood.

A Trick in Hifle-Shooting From the Buffalo Courier. “No, sir, 1 do not claim to be an expert at fancy shooting,” said Capt. Jack Crawford, in answer to an inquiry. “There is too much trickery—a sort of sleight-of-hand business connected with it. I do pretend to be a crack snot, and to excel in ac- curacy and rapidity with a Winchester rifle. ‘The Winchester Arms Company have offered repeat- edly to back me for $5,000 against any man in the world in that sort of skill. I have fired twelve shots in three and a half seconds. But here, let me enlighten you as to one of the neat little tricks used in fancy shots.” Here the scout. produced what appeared to be, as he held it at a distance, a brass shell Upped with a leaden bail. ‘Looks like a bullet, don’t iv?" he said, with a laugh. “Well, It isn’t, "It 1s simply a papter-mache protuberance ropriately colored to look like lead. Now, I'll show you Whats behind it.” Picking open theend he disclosed to view & quantity of shol—about 200 he sald Were in the shell, with Just. enough pow- der at the butt todo the work. “How are 1 used? You have probably witnessed the feat of crackingglass-balls thrown in the air by shooting at them “with a Winchester, and while riding a horse going at a gallop. Well, that’s the kind of a ‘al’ cartridge that is used, and the spectators look on with Wonder and admiration, supposing that It is done with a single ball, and that {s some- ‘thing, my boy, that no man in the world has ever done ‘or wilt do, because 1t 1s @ physical impossi- ty.” wee Grant Wanted to Be a Major. From the Chicago Tribune. Col. A. C. Babcock tells a story about Gen. Grant's entrance into the Union service in 1861, Which appears to be new, He says that Grant had given up hope of securing evenan humble com- mission from the governor of Illinois, and had gone over to Indiana to see if there was any chance un- der Gov. Morton, He was stopping at Lafayette, Ind., with the father-tn-law ot ged ‘Hitt, now Con- from Illinois. When Gov. Yates decided {Oappotat Grant a colonel telegrams were sent to Galena, but he was not there, and it was some- me before his whereabouts were discovered. A telegram was sent to Hitt, and he wired that Grant was at Latayette. When’ the offer of a colonel’s commission reached him Grant was dumbfounded. He had not expected so high.a place, and did not desire it. He feared that he could not fill the re- quirements of that office. He told the friend with Whom he was stopping tat he would like the place Of major, aud might even try to bea lieutenant colonel, but he thought he was not equal to the chief command of a regiment. His friend sat uy with him all night, arguing Grant's capability an hs duty to accept'the offer. ‘The result was a tel- ram to Springfield that Grant would be there on the first train. Col. Babcock says he has this story from Congressinan Hitt, and he has nodoubt EDUCATIONAL Ree sae eae 8 and to pupils’ tween ‘Sand 6 and7 p.m. 1017 st.
