Some practical jokers among the company of a Chicago theatre umused themselves, tho other evening, by filling the blunderbuss, used by one of their number in a piece called The ttunday Utmttr, with powder wads, etc., nearly to the'muzzle. On tho piece beiug fired, the actor was rendered almost insensible by tho concussion of tho bluuderbusB, and tho audience were completely territlcd by the duatenlng ex plosiou. several ladles being so seriously attorned that thev had to be carried out of tho house. To add to the confusion, the police of tho precinct, thinking from the report that somo terrible tragedy hud occurred, rushed in at the ditlerent entrances to the theatre. The matter was eventually explained, aud the play proceeded smoothly to its conclusion. During the progress of tho Paris Exposition one of tlii) eido-bhows that attracted tho largest crowds w as a representation of the decapitated head, a trick upon the same plan as that 01 me bphvnx, that t reated so much astonishment in the Vniied Kates some timo ago, but of which everybody now knows the secret. In this case the MU'-scers entered a room that w as sepa THE DAIL7 JSVENTNGr TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAr, rated from another by a grating.' In this other. room was a plain table, upon which was a head, apparently decapitated,' but which, on being in- icirogaied, would answer all sorts of questions. One day an i'.nglishman and his sister were among the spectators. The head, noticing them, remarked that It spoke English, when they pro ceeded to ask it several questions. Among others the lady gravely asked. '-Ilavo von a soul?" With a twinkle of tllo eves, the answer came solemnly, "No, I am art American." In WM the price of bread in Vienna had risen to its highest, un.l the "rolls" of tho baktrs decreased in sio day bv day. One day an actor named Seholz 'appeared St the Carl Thea tre la a kind of chemisette, which excited geno- rai iiuaniy, lor instead of being fastened with the ordinary buttons., a pair of the diminutive rolls baked at that time were used for tho pur pose. Sehol. was puuished by tho city autho rities for his joke. Not loug ago tho city authorities decided to found a museum of antf qntties relating to the history of the city, and called upon the Inhabitants to contribute 'to the Institution. Ono of the very first objects re ceived was Schol.'s historical bread-roll shirt button. A French narant, Dr. Magnen, has just been trying experiments with guinea pigs to llltistrato the baneful effects of absinthe. lie adminis tered to one animal, says a correspondent, four grammes of strong brandy-i-which Is an ingre dient of a Freuchmau's deadly drink with the natural result of making the poor little pig shamefully inebriated. To another unfortunate creature of the same species ho gave essence of absinthe pure and simple, and as a consequence extreme suffering was produced. "If the doso be weak," says M. Mnguen, "it causes vertigo; the animal linngs down its head, evinces sad ness, and remaiuB motionless. 1 Then a shudder comes over tho anterior part of the body, gradu ally followed by starts In the muscles of the neck. This symptom will by degrees extend to tho whole of the animal's fore parts; the crea ture will appear as if under the lnllueuee of electric shocks; its fore legs are stillly stretched to support tho body, while tho hind logs arc slightly bent, ns if to',scek a purchase. A larger dose Will induce violent nervous fits." The Impartial, a Spanish journal of Trini dad, gives the following account of tho state of affairs in that neighborhood: '-What has passed in the neighborhood of Trinidad for the past three months it is impossible to believe without having seen. ThU place of 14,000 inhabitants has a battalion of volunteers, a body of boinbe ros (armed firemen), and a section of cavalry, and yet it and the country about Is under the control of a party of incendiaries and assassins, who are lords of "the soil. Not a man can go to bathe in the river between the hill La Vigia and those opposite without exposing himself to be killed or captured. This pass, which is as smooth as the palm of the hand aud of no greater size than two klonietrcs long and one broad, has been the scene day after day of incendia rism and assassinations. Commencing at the shop, situated out towards tho river Canas, which wo have seen burned, there followed an attempt to burn the bridge on tho railroad: the firing of tho estate Abajo, at the far end of tho pass; of the other bridge on the railroad by Papoyal; the houses on the couutry estate of his Excellency Senor Don Justo G. Cantero; and, in conclusion, the hundred attacks on laborers on the ditlerent estates situated within this small radius all committed without interruption or without anything being done to punish the in cendiaries and assassins, who only attack the defenseless and the solitary." Trinidad must be an uncomfortable city for humdrum people, but it would be an admirable seminary for young Fenians. FURNITURE.
