A Singular Escape from Death. A recent number of the Reading (Pa.) Eagle says : Oar Top ton correspondent " H " says that on Saturday evening, as the laborers of Joseph Fanatermacher's mine, about a mile from Topton (where > Isaac Eck wai. killed by a bank-slide last \ Jnlyl, were abont to leave their work W for tne week, 0110 of them, named Jacob > Barrol, entered a drift in the side of an embankment thirty feet high, at the bottom of the open out, where he bad been at work daring tho day, to bring ont some tools which he bad forgotten. As he entered he saw the bank immedi ately give way and come tumbling down into the cut. Instead of retreating, aud thereby probably being caught aud • crushed by tho fulling earth, with great presnce of mind he rushed quickly into the drift in the hillside, the en trance of which woe immediately closed by the rnshing mass of many tons of earth and stone from shove. Ho qnickly did he disappear that his fellow-work meu thought lie had been caught by the land-slide and crushed to death. They at once set to work to dig up his sup posed dead body. Tho news spread rapidly, snd a crowd quickly assembled from the snrronuding neighliorhood, including his grief stricken wife, who harried to the spot to learn the fste of her hnsbaud. The men threw ont the dirt rapidly, and when near the month of the drift, one of the meu, hoping Barrol had escaped death, pushed his shovel handle through the loose earth into the hole and called to Barrol. To their delight he answered from his living grave, "1 am all right; only harry np and get me ont, for the air is becoming heavy." With renewed energy snd hard i work for another half hour, the men p removed sufficient earth and rubbish to effect an opening large enough to allow Rarrol to crawl out, which he speedily did, safe and unhnrt, amid the wild cheers of his comrades and the crowd around the cnt. He had been confined in the drift abont two hours and a half. After thanking his comrades and friends for their arduous efforts in rescuing him from his living tomb, ho accompanied his overjoyed wife to his home in the little village of Ringtown, near Topton. Circa Distant]*] Evidence. In the year 1660 two men named Perry and their mother were hanged for the murder of a man who bad never been ranrdered at all. Mr. Harrison, Lady Campden's steward, having been collect ing his rents, suddenly disappeared. John Perry accused his mother, himself, and his brother of having robbed Mr. j Harrison in the previous year, and of having again robbed him and murdered him on the night when he was missed. The mother and Richard Perry denied all knowledge of the matter; hnt at , , length pleaded gnilty to the first indict f ment under some pressure of policy. ! The other indictment was not then pro ceeded with, on the ground that the body was not fonnd. But John persist ed in his story, and at tho next assize they were all tried for mnrder. John then retracted his confession, snd said he must have been mail. Nevertheless, they were all condemned. Home years after Mr. Harrison appeared alive, and thus accounted for his mysterious ab sence: After receiving bis rents he bad been set upon by a gang of ruffians, car ried to the sea-side, put on shop-board, and sold as s slave to the Turks. After his master's death he escaped, snd with great difficulty working his way, first to Lisbon, and thence to Dover, he arrived in England, as onr law-book coolly says, •• to the surprise of all the country.— Oood Word*. ■las Fanrker'* Case.

Hew Hanging Feels, George W. Magee, of Padnoafa, Ky., bad been hanged by a mob and cat down jast before life was extinct. The reporter obtained the following infor mation as to bow the hanging felt: There waa no pain aa long as he was ascending.

The muscles of the arm refused to obey his will. His joints experienced a sensation similar to that one would imagine the piercing of red-hot needles would produce. The knees twitched and jerked convulsively. Then a delicious sensation of "eool numbness," com mencing at his extremities, stole over , him. He lost all desire to save himself. 4jjl Bnt gradually this contented feeling disappeared. He became conscious of pain again.

At the age of about twenty-five yearn the oork tree ia barked for the first time. A oironlar incision ia first mode through the bark near the ground, and another, alao around the troe, cloce by the branches. These cuts are followed by other* equally deep, made longitudi nally, and dividing the bark into broad planks. The tree is then left. Th' oir- I'ulation of the sap has been stopped; the bark begins to curl outward; aud shortly each atrip is peeled off by the hank. This process is repeated every ten years. Thus gathered, the bark is prepared for market in two ways. Ry one method the " tables," na they are called, are beeped one upon another, their concave sides being put under most, in deep trenchee, and being plenti fully moistened, are pressed beneath huge bowlders till thoroughly flattened out. They aro then dried carefully be fore large fires, and turned constantly. When fiat and dry they are complete. Rv the second method the damp pres sure in the pits is dispeuaed with, the " tables" lieing simply laid with their convex sides toward the fire, and suffered to remain until their warp is lost and they become flat. This tree and its uses were known to the Greeks and Romans. In the time of Pliny it was employed for nearly as many par poses as at present, as floats for fisher men's nets, water-proof soles for shoes, buoys for anchors and for swimming jackets. The use of oork for stopping bottles was not entirely unknown to the Romans, being mentioned by Oato and ( Horace, though its application to this purpose does not seem to have been very common, as we fiud everywhere direc tions given to close up wine casks and other vessels with pitch, clay, gypsum or pottenT earth, or to fill the upper part of the vessel with oil or honey, in order to exclnde the air from those Honors which they wished to preserve. Htoppers of cork seem to have been first introduced after the invention of glass bottle*. and these do not appear to have come into nae before the fifteenth eentnry. In 1553 oork was u"ed in France principally for soles, and in Germany wax stoppers were used by the apothecaries nntd abont the close of the seventeenth century. Where the tree is indigenous the in* habitants apply cork to many purposes. Tlins, in Bpain for beehives and kitchen pails, pillows and window lights in Morocco for drinking vessels ami plates, tuba and house conduits; in Portugal, roofs for bouses, lining for garden walls, and fences for poultry yards; in Tnrkey, cabins for the cork-cutters and coffins for the dead; in Italy for images snd crosses, pavements along the walks and buttresses for the villsge churches; in Algeria for shoes and wearing apparel, saddles and horseshoes, armor and boats, landmarks and fortifications, furniture in mansions, racks in stables snd steps for houses; while we nae oork in onr : own country for floats, shoe-soles, wads for howitzers, bangs, stoppers, bst foundations, life boats and life preser vers, models for architecture and as a material for Hpanish black. Death of a Rsbber King." The Hungarian )>aper* announce the death, in the prison of B**moe- Ujrar, of the celebrated bandit Roaza Bandor, known in Hungary as the "robber king." He waa born at Bsejedin in 1813, and both hia father and grand father were robber* by profeaainn. Hia achievements, however, aoon eclipsed those of hia family, and he waa admired as much aa he waa feared. The rrckleaa courage with which he attacked the po lice and even military escort*, on the high road in bmad daylight, hia gener osity toward the poor, and hia gallantry toward women, made him a sort of na tional hero. Home thirty years ago few people of the wealthier claaaes ventured to travel iu Hungary without paying tribute. Hia bands were well armed and organised, and the ttryany lr ymuek, (poor fellow), aa the bandit* were called in thoae days, found many rfvmpathizers and accomplice* among the peasantry. He was first imprisoned in 1834, bnt escaped in the following year by the assistance of hia miatresa, a peasant woman named Rati, whose hus band he had killed by blowing hia brains out with a pistol. During the revolu tion of 1848, RoasaHandor waa pardoned by Koaauth, and he then organised a free corps which did good service against the government troop*. After the suppression of the rising, 'Handor resumed bin former career. He did not again fall into the hands of the antbori tiea nntil 1864, when he waa betrayed by one of hia companions, whom he shot aa the soldiers were advancing to captnre him. After a trial which lasted three years, Handor waa sentenced to be bang ed ; bnt the sentenced waa commuted to imprisonment for life. He remained eight yeara in the fortress of Knfatcin, and waa then aet at liberty in virtne of a general amnesty. Bnt be aoon resumed hia old pnnrait*. In 1868 he attaoked, with some of bis companion*, a railway train at Frlegyhaxa. The government sent a body of troops under Oonnt Oed eon Raday, to oaptnre him ; and four years later he waa again brought before the criminal tribnnal, together with a number of his accomplices, among whom were several magistrates and high civil functionaries. He waa again sentenced to death, and the sentence was again commuted to imprisonment for life. The prison to whiob be was then sent is the one in which he died.— Pall Matl Gaiettr.. Wlto Invented Movable Type* 1 The honor of the invention of mova ble types baa lieen disputed by '.wo cities, Harlem ami Wont*. The claims of Harlem rest chiefly upon a statement of Hadrien Jen ins, who gave it upon the testimony of Cornelias, alleged to be a servant of Lawrence Coster, for whom the invention is claimed. The claims of Ments, which appaar to be mora conclusive, are in favor of Peter Hebmffer, the assistant and aon-in-law of John Faust, better known aa Doctor Faoatna.

Forty yean ago the trappers of the Woe tern plain* sold the pelt* of beavers, otters and martens, and Killed tho bison only for food. Myriads of these shaggy monsters roamed the prairies. Wash ington Irving, in his "Tour on the Prairie* " haw u herd, buundlctiK ami undulating a* an ocean, ail surging northward. They were two days ana nighto in crossing the Smoky ZIiJl river. There was then a limited market for buffalo hidea, and the herds were haul ed by Indiana only. They dried the meat for winter use, and used the skins for tepee* and blankets. Uncounted millions of the animals wintered in the parks of the Rocky mountains and on the fertile plains of northern Texas. The cows calved in April, and by the first of May the shaggy armies were headed for the Missonri. They advan ced northward with the season, brows ing upon the juicy grasses. They crossed the Missouri river and ran away up into British America. With the approach of winter they swept back into the sonny parka of the Rocky mountains and spread themselves over the plains of Texas. The discovery of gold in California opened a pathway to the Pacific, and this pathway opened a permanent market for buffalo hides. The settlement and rapid development of Kansas snd Ne braka forced the herds bock toward the mountains. Then gold ws* found near Pike's peak, and a stream of emigration poured into Oolurado. Reaver, otter and furred animals began to diaap|x>ar, and the brawny Kansas buffalo hunter took the place of the half -breed Cana dian trapper. Millions were killed for their hides alone. The vast herds began to scatter. Ten years later the laying of the Pacific railroad forced them from the line of the Platte and Arkanaa* into northern Texas on the south, and Wy oming and Dakota on the north. The profeaeional hnnters followed, and for years reaped a rich harvest. Bat the rush of gold seekers to the Rlsck hills snd the settlements along the line of the Northern Paciflo road is driving the northern column into British America, and the development of Northern Texas is exterminating the southern column. 1 Experienced hunters predict that within j eight years not a buffalo will le left in ' Texas.—AVto York Sun.

AD anecdote of tho Emperor Charles VI. ia worth prearving: During the reign of that monarch an Italian officer of itiatinctiou waa dispatched to Vienna with newa of a battle in which the impe rial troopa had been completely ranted. On bia arrival at the frontier he waa in formed by the governor of the flmt fortified town he entered, that, although the object of hia journey waa to an nounce a defeat, he must, on the con trary, proclaim a victory wherever he went, and be preceded by twenty or thirty oouriera, each blowing a born. Obliged to conform to thia ridiculous cnatom, the officer continued bia route, and, on reaching Vienna waa inatantly admitted to the imperial preaence; upon which he exclaimed in a loud voice: Victory, aire, victory I" adding in a lower fone for the eapecial benefit of the emperor, "Sire, your majeaty haa I oat the day I" On receipt of thia intel ligence, Charles VI. male a aign to the envoy to accompany him into the next room, and there demanded the particu lar* of the diaaater.

A Pretty Bird Ntery. It bM for * long time been BO enigma to the ornithologist* how certain specie* of m*ll singing birds, which spend the winter in Egypt or Algeria, and the summer in southern and western Europe, ever succeed in crossing the Mediterranean, as many of them are not able to fly one-qnarter of a mile without renting. The Bedouins of northern Africa say that they travel on tbe backs of the larger birds, whiling away tbe dreary honrs of the sea voyage by their ■ong, and Bedouin poetry swarms with allusions to this charming iniitura of the song leas stork carrying on his pow erful back a cluster of small songsters acmes the sea. And, singularly enough, the peasants of sontheru and western Europe say erectly the same. Bnt in spite of tbia remarkable unanimity, none has ever dreamed of finding a fact at tbe bottom of those tales, until late ly. ens great ornithologist after the other—Hengliaa, Both, Hedenbocg, etc, —declares himself willing to accept tbe explanation ; nor have traces of posi tive proofs been altogether lacking Hew Tear's Bells.

A journeyman printer told a New York reporter how, being short of funds and without work, he " beat" bis way on tho railroads from Bau Francisco to New York.
