rri Snow at New Orleans. ;.Z A fall of snow in New Orleans wan astonishing event. Men would Bcarcely bo more excited if Clay statue were to evolve into the crater: of an eruptive volcano. That snow is a most wonder ful intoxicant cannot be a matter- of doubt to any impartial or unprejudiced observer of the antics of. Orleanians the other day. Foremost in the ranks of the snow drunk was the powerful small boy the Bobby of the mansion, the Mickey of Bank alley. Bobby scraped from rose bush, lawn and doorstep suf ficient snow to make his first snowball, and pelted therewith nurse, coachman and cook. Mickey scrambled with his ragged fellows for the meager fall of snow upon curbstone and pavement, and as he waited with red shining nose for the evening papers, he sent up many a merry shout and shied many a whiz zing Bnowball. As the fluffy shower began to freckle the gloomy atmosphere about noon pe destrians stopped in their mad rush along the thoroughfares to stand shiver ing beneath protecting sheds and gaze curiously at the snow as a thing rarely seen. Clerks and shopgirls thronged to windows and showcases and flattened their noses against the panes to Bee the flecks. Upon St. Charles avenue and Prytania street one might have thought from the number of ladies in shawls and ulsters npon galleries and at windows that some great procession was passing. There was quite as much enthusiasm, nervousness and color. Not a few of the schools and acad emies gave their pupils a half holiday, with instructions to Bee the snow and take advantage of the opportunity to study the phenomena pertaining thereto. There was not enough snow to cause any fan about the exchange. Eleven years ago, when the snow fell last, the Cotton exchange men were like bo many schoolboys. They rubbed each other's faces with snow, they had snowball bat tles, and the stately and bewhiskered cotton king thonght nothing of being shot through the ear with a globe of snowflakes. New Orleans Times-Demo crat. A Long Sleep-in Silesia. : A most peculiar case of prolonged sleep is at present occupying the attention of medical circles in Germany. A miner named Johann Latus is an inmate of the hospital at Myslowitz, in Silesia, where he was admitted four months and a half ago, and since then all efforts to wake him have been fruitless. Dr. Albers, the doctor attending him, is of the opin ion that the apparent sleep is really a state of catalepsy, though medical science has on record no previous case of such a prolonged nature. He has arrived at this conclusion on account of all the limbs being absolutely rigid. . The ap pearance of the' man, however, betrays no signs of this. The body lies quite e till, the breathing is regular, and there is a healthy color in the cheeks. In the last few days the body has become much ' less rigid, and the patient has even made some slight movement, without, how ever, the eyes opening or the condition of apparent sleep being in any way dis turbed. In the four months and a half -' that the sleep has lasted the hair has in creased in length, but the beard has re mained stationary. ' Nourishment to th 3 extent of two or three liters of milk is administered daily by a tube inserted into the throat. Vienna Letter. A Monster Wheel. The new 80-foot flywheel to replace the one which burst on the Amoskeag corporation at Manchester, N. EL, last fall, has been completed and put - in position for use . as soon as the engine is in readiness. Twenty thousand feet of brown ash was used in the construc tion of the wheel, as well as 18,000 by 3-inch screws, a lot of iron rods, tons of iron and quarts of glue. The small wooden sections are fastened together by glue and the screws, and to strengthen the whole there are stout iron rods pass ing through the sections in addition to this. The screws are driven by steam power. To make the whole mass as compact as possible narrow openings were iett Dec ween some or the sections. and into these were tightly driven well ntting wedges soaked in boiling hot giue. - - The time of its test is being awaited with interest by the mill people. It has been necessary to keep a large cans: of men at work upon the racks in the mill in order to prevent interference in the mills from ice. Lowell Citizen.

London Xiews. - ' A Chinese Gorernor. 1 Tshang Yao, the governor of the pro vince of Shantung, who died 'recently, was one of the highest dignitaries of the Celestial empire. - He had a highly ad venturous career. Born in lowly posi tion, he was obliged to flee in his youth on account of having murdered the tor mentor of an old man. He became a robber and soon stood at the head of all the brigands who made the province of Hunan unsafe. When, during the re bellion, the chief town of the province was threatened, the governor issued a. proclamation in which he promised the hand of his daughter to the man who would save the town from the enemy. At the head of 600 bandits, Tshang beat off the attack of the rebels, and led home on the next day, as a reward for his , bravery, the almond eyed beauty. Then he made rapid progress. He was not able to read or write, but was of great integrity, and died poor as he was J born. He was called by his people, on account of his charity, Tshang, "the blue sky." It is said, however, that he was not always just toward Europeans, and especially the missionaries. London News. A Turtle's Unavoidable Delay. During a windstorm in the early days of last June a tree on the farm of Mor timer Hamilton, . in Jackson county, Ind., was blown down, and in falling a limb struck squarely across the back of a large snapping turtle and forced it down into the earth. A day or two since the limb was cut away and the snapper, released from its imprisonment, trudged away, apparently uninjured, from its prison, where it had lam im movably fixed without food or water for over four months.
