THE DAUGHTER’S RUSE.“ I’ve been Mary Ann all my life,

and I should like my little girl to have an elegant name,” said young Mrs. Alexander, holding up her first baby for its father's inspection.

Mr. Alexander, tin elderly gentle­man, three, times the age of his wile, took tlie child awkwardly into his plump hands and held it at arm’s length, as he did tlie newspaper, to look at its small face.

"A very pretty child, indeed,” said lie, “at least for her age, my dear. And what do you think will be an elegant name?”

“I don't quite know yet,” said Mrs. Alexander, softly. “ I must think it over carefully. X want to be sure that she has really a beautiful name and one that is not common.”

Those were nearly lire last words the poor soul ever said.

She was feeling strangely weak and faint even then.

Before the day was gone the husband was a widower.

“It was a terrible tiling to him. lie had loved his wife as fondly as in an could love, and, though lie was so much older than she, the girl had married him because sbe liked him.

“He is nicer in every way than any young man I know,” she declared, “and handsomer too.”

They had been so very liappy, and now he was alone again—a man ap­proaching sixty, with a little morsel of a girl baby on his hands.

After those first terrible days wero over and lie could not even gaze upon the marble face any longer, when all the terrible paraphernalia of the funer­al bad been taken away, he used to sit for hours in tlie nursery staring at the cradle.

When a step sounded on the stairs or the door opened lie used to lift his head and half expect to see his wife’s figure enter tlie room.

A t any moment he could have been brought to believe that ail his sorrows had been only a dream.

Nothing aroused him until they be­gan to talk about the child’s name. “ It should be christened. It was wrong of a Christian father to leave the tiling undone so long.” said the nurse; and the old clergyman spoke, of it also.

Their talk brought back the wife’s lust words. She had desired her child to have an elegant name and an uncom­mon name. She should have it.

He set his mind to work. He thought over all the fine names in his­tory. A t last he fixed on one, that so far none of his friends had used, winch certainly was elegant—the name, also, oE a very beautiful woman.

Let us hope that the spirits of our departed friends are- pot permitted at all times to look down upon us; for the name Mr. Alexander chose for his little daughter was Cleopatra.

Cleopatra the child was christened, and Cleopatra was the name written in the family Bible; but nobody but her father ever called the girl so.

Patra was the diminutive her nurse gave her. and as Patra she made mud- pies in the garden, spilled the contents o f her parent’s inkstand over ins law papers, pulled the kitten about and stole the preserves from the pantry.

The wildest, merriest, most uncon­trollable of all children was little Patra.

But she would sit for hours together on her father’s knee, petting him and being petted by him, looking so like her mother in miniature that the old man could have fancied that his girl- wife had been changed into some beau­tiful little elf.

Slowly he grew happy again—as liap py as.people ever become after a crush­ing sorrow and disappointment.

lie lavished, all his love on his girl. He gave her all that Avealth could give.

A grim housekeeper ruled the estab­lishment, and Patra grew to be a young woman. And all was going well until that happened which fathers are al­ways the last to believe a possible oc­currence to one o f their “ little girls.” Someone fell in love Avith Cleopetra.

Mr. Alexander did not like the idea; and Avlio can blame him ? I-Iis daugh­ter avus his all; but lie might have al- loAved the girl to have her otvn Avay, but for Mrs. Prynne, tlie housekeeper.

Long ago, in Mr. Alexander’s com­parative youth, Mrs. Prynne, then Miss Smitliers, had been a sort of flame of his. Hothing had came of it but a passing flirtation; but Avomen are long in forgetting. The Avidow did not doubt that she might even yet possess herself o f the hand if not heart of the widoAver but for tills girl in Avhom lie Avas so wrapped up.

Mrs. Prynne disliked Cleopatra, as formal Avomen often dislike gay and charming girls. She knew that Cleo­patra had no love for her—that she would rebel against the idea of step­mother; and now she craftily set her­self to Avork to make the father think ill of liis daughter’s lover. Many Avere the evil tales she whispered about him—many the warnings she gave.

“He’s after your money,” said she. “That is the secret of his admiration for Miss Patra.”

And it was out of love for Ills daugh­ter, and to guard Tier against a great evil, that tlie old man at last forbade her to speak again to Henry Busli.

lyith a girl like Cleopatra this Avas enough.

It was not Icng before slie eloped Avith.her lover'and married h im ,.

Mr. Alexander Avas furious. In his rage lie said many terrible things. Among others that his daughter should neA’er again,darken his doors.. Thenhe was taken ill with a violent fit o f the gout, and was a prisoner in liis room.

It was the hour o f Mrs. Prynne’s tri­umph, for when Some days after, pen­itent and’ tearful, Patra came to the door, longing for her beloved father’s foigtA’eness, and; indeed, making quite sure of it, after all that had passed and gone, Mrs. Prynne drove lieraway.

“Your father is quite sick, Paira,” ’ she said, “and he has ordered me to ’ keep yon out You’ve made your bed and you most ly in it. You’ve brewed and you must drink. You can’t come

in. I ’ve my orders;” and the door was shut in her face.

Up in bis room the old man sat help­less, Avilh his foot on a pillow, longing for his daughter. She must come and he would forgive her; yes, and the Avorthless young rascal she had married, for her sake.

“My little Cleopatra! She must come to me; I- won’t send for her,” said he. “And she will come.”

But lie did not know that she had come—that she came over and over again to plead to be admitted, and to be turned away.

“It’s not papa’s money, love,” she said to her young husband. “Not that! Oh, no, not that! I f he loves me he can do Avliat lie pleases with my for­tune.”

And the young man, who was hon­estly in love, vowed that he desired her father to know that what he want­ed Avas his daughter, not is ducats.

“ Come, my clear,” he said one clay, when poor Petra’s courage A v a s al­most gone, “ I shan’ t let you iret-so. Come to the city with me and see the picture I told you about—tlie picture of your namesake, Cleopatra.”

“My dreadful name!” sighed Patra. “ Oh ! how could any one have thought of such a name for me! But I ’ll go witli you, dear.- I don’t want you to be miserable because I am. Oh, Hen­ry, 1 know papa could not be so hard with me. It is that rvicked Mrs. Prynne. She is in hopes papa will marry her. I know that. As if papa coulcl be so silly at his age! I f I could once get past the door and up to papa’s room all Avould be right again.”

Then she went away to put on her bonnet ancl shawl, and the two took the afternoon train, ancl soon stood be­fore one of the finest pictures in tlie collection.

“ I don’t quite understand it,” said Patra, at last. “Cleopatra, of course; but Avhnt is it ail about?”

“ Oil, you haven’t read ltoman histo­ry as thoroughly as I have, my clear, or you wouldn’t ask,” said tlie young husband, “That is Caesar, you know, ancl Cleopatra, avIio coulcl not gain an audience otherwise, had herself wrap­ped up iu a roll of splendid stuffs, which was sent to Ccesar as a present. Of course, as soon as they were placed before him lie had them unrolled, and behold, Cleopatra!”

“Ah, yes, I quite understand it now,” cried Patra. “The beantifui, wicked creature! Henry, it really seems as if fate sent us here,” and Patra clapped her little gloved hands. “ Oh, how glad I am to have seen the picture! It has given me an idea.”

“ What idea?” asked the young hus­band.

“I can’t explain,” said Patra; “not yet, at least — some day. Oh, old Prynne, you are not so smart but that some one is smarter than you.”

Ancl -she went home in excellent spirits.

* *Ring at the bell. Ring, ring, ring. “ What’s wanted?” cried Mrs. Prynne,

thrusting her nose out o f a crack in the door, for she answered every ring herself since Patra began to make those doleful little \dsits. “ Oh! well, young men, I think you’ve made a mistake. Nothing of that sort ordered here.”

“It’s a present for Mr. Alexander,” cried the tallest voting man, carefully holding his end o f tlie brilliant roll—a Persian carpet.

“ Well, it looks handsome, though fuzzy,” said the housekeeper. “I’ ll tell him. Who shall I say it’s from?”

“ We are to giAre it to him himself, i f you please,” said the young man; “ and its from the Shah of Persia.”

“Lor!” cried Mrs. Prynne. “The Shaw of Russia, to be sure! Well, Mr, Alexander is always treated mightiy polite by the great foreigners that come here. I ’ll run up and ask. He ain't well.”

“ We’ll have to go up with you,” said the young men. “The Shall is very particular about having his errands clone. Yon Avouldn’t like to see our heads cut off, would you, ma’am?”

“ Oh, clear, no,” cried Mrs. Prynne. “Wliac a despotentate the Shaw of Russia must be, to be sure. Walk up.”

Mr. Alexander sat in Ins chair, ach­ing all over, heart and body, when the door burst, open ancl Mrs. Prynne en­tered in great haste.

“It ’s a trick of some kind.” cried the squire. “Mrs. Prynne see to the door —look after the silver I”

Mrs. Prynne flew out of the room and as she dicl so the roll of carpet stirred and out of it crept a little slen­der figure, rumpled - ancl dishevelled,. and pink in the face, that ilew to the cloor ancl locked .it, and then flung it­self on its knees before the old gentle­man.

“Oh, papa, papa!” it cried. “ Okl Pi'ynne Avould not let me in, so I had myself wrapped up in the big Persian rug that Avas Grandpa’s wedding pres­ent, like Cleopatra in the Roman his­tory, you know, papa, and Henry’s cousins brought me in out of the car­riage.

A Cuban Girl W ine Drinking.The dinner ended with a cheap Cata-

len wine for those who Avanted it, all drinking out of the same vessel. And this latter performance is quite a noA'- elty in itself. The botella, or decan­ter, if it may be so called, is of glass, cone-shaped, and Avill hold, perhaps, half a gallon. It has a short glass handle, and opposite is a long' slender glass snout. Ho glasses are used, bub the botella goes its merry rounds after this ord r. First, the Montero’s wife, then the guests, then the daughters, and last the sons. Holding the botella high in air, a slender thread of wine leaps out and into the drinker’s throat. The vessel is never touched by the lips, and the lips never close until the draught is finished. In other words, the Avine is thus shot squarely into the throat, and it ‘is a pretty sight indeed to see a winsome Montero’s daughter Avitli her pretty face upraised, her ripe lips parted, displaying her brilliant teeth, her perfect throat exposed and moving voluptuously as the draught is taken, and the glittering thread of wine •traces an arc of color from her ruby lips to the blood-red bottella above. As this little scene was presented I thought how engaging a piece of work could some artist do with only the sim­ple material right herein this lowly Cuban home. After the meal came cigarettes and cigars, the latter for th.e Montero and his AVife, and cigar­ettes for the senoritas and the rest. But to be a gallant guest you have to do here what might seem sadly out of place elsewhere. By custom perforce, then, the don and myself, after light­ing cigarettes and taking a whiff or two, presented them to the senoritas, and this order of tilings Avas continu­ed until the buxom damsels had smok­ed enough, which, and truth compels the assertion, was for no little time.— llavanna Cor.

—------------ ------------------------W h y Bachelors Abound in Mexico.

When a Mexican lady is widowed, says a correspondent of the Kansas City Journal, a family council is imme­diately called, her male relatives and those of her husband charging, them­selves with the education of her sons, and the care of herself and daughters quite as a matter of course. Though the Avidow and her grown-up daugh­ters may be accomplished as Avell as poor, nobody dreams of the possibility of their doing anything toAvard sup­porting themselves, and the proffered aid is calmly accepted as an hereditary right. Even if the AA’idowed mother is Avealthy, she can by no means be inde­pendent, Custom Avhicli here rules with iron hand, prescribes tliai the en­tire superintendence of her property and the education of her children shall be delegated to her male kindred, and unless she is really an aged Avoman, she must reside with her relatiA’es. So thoroughly arc Mexican gentlemen imbued with this idea of AVomanly de­pendence that they do not regard the care of any number of bereaved fami­lies as an unjust burden, but, on the contrary, when a man marries he vir­tually contracts to befriend all the fe­male kindred of his huly love, and to provide for them, if need be. This sort of knightly courtesy makes mat­rimony a serious matter, and perhaps accounts for the number of eligible bachelors Avith Avhieh Mexico abounds; but, badinage apart, it Is a beautiful custom, and tlie strong proof of the in­nate chivalry of Mexican gentlemen is found in the fact that the estates of AvidoAA’s and orphans are invariably ad­ministered Avitli scrupulous honesty.

W h y Cowboys Hate Mormons.Aliles City Correspondence Philadel­

phia Record: The climate of Montana is not particularly healthy for Mor­mons, principally, I believe, because the soil contains so many wide-awake bachelor eoAvboys avIio are badly in need of AviA’es themselves. The royal coAV-puncliers of Montana hate a Mor­mon male as they do a snake. Being unable to get a single helpmeet them­selves, although able to support a doz­en Avliere a Mormon cannot support one, it riles them to have some long­haired. rascally elder come along with four, five, and, possibly six Avives, and settle down Avith the utmost gall and cheek on a government claim. There are about 25,000 more bachelors in Montana than there are women alto­gether. Heaily all o f these 20,000 have splendid ranches, farms, or claims of some kind, and need only a Avife to complete their cup of happiness.

It is no exaggerated picture I am draAving, for the vast territory of Mon­tana contains innumerable bachelor homes, and these bachelors AA'ould make the best of husbands, if given half a chance. The little town of Malden, a feAv miles north of here, contains not a single unmarried lady. ** The small village only ten miles AS'est of us is simply a community of bachelors. These thousands of young men, mid­dle-aged men, and old men all have comfortable bank accounts, and Avould marry on the slightest provocation, so to speak. Each one is calculated to make some woman happy, aud Avould give the damsel who cared to risk her future Avith him all the ready cash she could possibly spend in this AVorld. Ho wonder our bachelors hale the Mormon males avIio have move than their share of female blessings,

The Salt Mines o f Nevada.I f the salt formations of Nevada

Avere in railroad communication, there Avould be no market in tills country for tlie foreign article. , In Lincoln county, on the Rio Virgin, there is a deposit of pure rock salt Avhicli is ex­posed for a length of Iavo miles, a width of half a mile, and is of uuknoAvn depth. In places, canons are cut through it to a depth of GO feet. It is of ancient formation, being covered in some places by basaltic rock and Arol- eanic tufa. The deposit has been trac­ed on the surface for a distance of nine miles. It is so solid that it must be blasted like rock, and so pure and trans­parent that print can be read through blocks of it a foot thick. At Sand Springs, Churchill county, there is a deposits o f rock salt I I feet in depth, free from any particle of foreign sub­stance, Avbieh can be quarried at tlie rate of five tons a day to the man. The great Humboldt salt field is about fifteen miles long by six wide..-.

When the summer heats have evap­orated the surface water, salt to the depth of several inches may be scraped up, and underneath is a stratum of pure roCksaltof unknown depth. Soda, borax, and other valuableminerals also exist in large quantities near these lo­calities. and branch railroads will soon­er or later bring them into market. A considerable business in gathering borax is already established on the line of the Carson & Colorado railroad.

W ater Tests.Test for Hard or Soft Water.—Dis­

solve a small quantity of good soap in alcohol. Let a fetv drops fall into a glass of Avater. I f it turns milky, It is hard; if not, it is soft.

Test for Earthy Matters or Alkali.— Take litmus paper dipped in vinegar, and if, on immersion, the paper returns to its true shade, the water does not contain earthy matter or alkali. I f a l'e.Av drops of sirup be added to a water containing an earthy matter, it Avill turn green.

Test for Carbolic Acid.—Take equal parts of water and clear lime Avater. I f combined Or free carbonic acid is present, a precipitate is seen, to which, if a feAv drops of muriatic acid be added, an effervescence commences.

Test for Magnesia.—Boil the water to a tAventieth part of its Aveight, and then drop a few grains of neutral car­bonate of ammonia into a glass of it, and a feAv drops of phosphate of soda. I f magnesia be present, it Avill fall to the bottom.

Test for Iron.—Boil a little nut gall, and add to the Avater. I f it turns gray or slate, black iron is present. 2. Dis­solve a little prussiate of potash, and if iron is present, it Avill turn blue.

Test for Lime,—Into a glats of the AA’ater put tAvo drops of oxalic acid, and. blow upon it; if it gets milky, lime is present.

------------< »> ------------Banana Bakeries.

“Banana bakeries are played out here,” said a fruit dealer o f Eulton market, Avhen shoAvn a description of banana bakery in Michigan. “ They Avere abandoned by Hew Yorkers twenty or tAventy-five years ago. Rip­ening bananas by artificial heat did Avell enough before better appliances wero found out. There is heat enough In the banana itself to cause it to ripen. Put a lot of green bananas in a barrel ■close it up tight; and then start the barrel on a voyage to this port from any of the banana-grOAving countries, and AA’hen the barrel is opened here the fruit Avill be found all burned up. Bananas ripened in an OAren must be sold and eaten at once or they Avill soon rot and become a total loss. The process now adopted is to hang the bananas within an air-tight closet or room with tight windows. Hot a breath air is allowed to get at them while ripening. The natural heat of the plant will, as soon as the door is closed, raise the temperature inside lo as high as 85 degrees, no matter what it may be outside. Witli this tempera­ture the fruit Avill ripen in four days and he ready for sale.

“One of the large importers of this city uses his celler for ripening his bananas. The bunches are hung from the ceilling, and after the celler is clos­ed the air becomes so oppressiA'e dur­ing the process of ripening, from the heat thrown out by the fruit, that a man coming from the outer air Avould be scacely able to breath therein.”

The Detroit club that has been car­rying the high feather in base ball playing this year, will probably not want to hear from Chicago again soon. They went to that city last week with great demonstrations and were beaten in three straight games.

Nothing like havlngskilled men lay­ing around loose. The "Warden of the Ohio penitentiary broke the key in the lock o f the prison safe. A convict worked out tbe broken, key and then piched the lock, 'as a mere matter of accommodation.

The State Pair Society has started Prohibition in this state by adopting a rnle that at no future time shall liquor be allowed to be sold upon tbe grounds of tbe Society. The soooner the same rule can be made operative through all departments o f the state the better.

While the political situation in Ire­land may be not the most satisfactory, the constant agitation has been at least one source of profit. A stream of cash running from $10,000 to $50,000 a week has been going there from this country to aid the agitation.

Copiah county, Mississippi has, by a decisive vote, concluded that no more liquor may be sold within the county. While Copiah county lias become de­cidedly notorious for her political brawls and murders she Is in this a number of pegs ahead of some of her Northern neighbors o f greater boasted civilization.

Atlanta, Georgia, prohibits the sale of liquor by the dram, and tbe crowd of fellow's who appeared with their pitchers, jugs, and decanters to buy the stuff by tbe quart is simply amaz­ing. It comes cheaper that way, and of course they can get drunker and stay so longer than before,

Indianapolis must be an elegant place to live in, judging by the following state "of affairs, described by the South Bend Tribune as existing there:

“A t a meeting o f tbe council this week a committee appointed to inves­tigate the aliegedsaleof bad meat and bogus butter in the city markets re­ported that oleomargarine without la­bels, boar meat, bull meat, crippled meat and meat otherwise unfit for use was sold; that the health officers knew it, and that butchers disposed to sell good meat had been driven aw'ay from the markets by such competition.”

Women Sitting- on Juries.Tlie good people o f Washington ter­

ritory having resolved on having wo­man suffrage, have taken along w'ith it the performance o f other civil duties by women. Tlie law must not discrim­inate." It must know' no privileged classes. Voters must perform all the duties that the right off suffrage en­tails. Among these is serving on juries in the courts. And the women of Washington territory have been already introduced to their lights and privileg­es, and one of their number, Mrs. W. F. Thompson of Seattle, reports pro­gress thus far.

Mrs. Thompson was among the first to receive a summons to serve on a jury. It flustered her greatly. She said to the sheriff: “I can’t serve use­fully; you w'ant some one who can keep track of both sides of a case and then discriminate between them.” The . sheriff didn’t know' abont that, but he did know that she must answer the Summons. And she did, and then she appealed to the judge. But lie was even more inexorable. He smiled and said it was out o f his pow'er to excuse her. Tlie law made it necessary, and she must go on the panel, and on she went.

The first ease she was called on was a prosecution for gambling. She was challenged by the defense, as were other w’omen. But the supply of wo­men jurors was greater than the chal­lenges allow'ed, the gambler was con­victed, and next morning a lot o f other gamblers came in and pleaded guilty. There were seventeen criminal cases at that term and thirteen convictions, the other four forfeiting bail. Of the ac­tual service let Mrs. Thompson tell:

“ I sat through a term of five weeks ; was on twro cases which occupied a week each; was locked up. W e were all locked up one night on a Chinese case, and as wre passed into court next day some of our fellow-townsmen In court were interested to see howT the women stood it. The verdict was that we looked brighter and better than the men. We were also escorted several times through the streets by court offi­cials to meals at Uncle Sam’s expense. •On one case which we took down into the jury room the first ballot stood eleven to one, with the blissful pros­pect of staying out all night, as it was clearly a case of eleven obstinate ju­rors. But when certain transactions crept out, and a woman protested that she would not be a parly to cover up the fact should they return to court, twelve votes were cast next time and tbe case settled. The men were all that could be desired, with tbe excep­tion o f one, who insisted that a “real nice woman” would not sit on the jury. He made himself very conspicuous in his efforts to “ let them have enough of it.” But somebody else got enough of him before long,'and lie was excused front further service before half the term was over.”

Whatever may be thought or said about this idea for general application, it must be admitted that the sheriff struck the right woman when he sub­poenaed Mrs. Thompson, and that she did her duty “like a little man.” In fact she did it a great sight better than a good many big ones that we have known.—Detroit Tribune.

A BURMESE FAIRY STORY.

A V is it to :t G iatit in a E ar C oun try—A H a ir o r H is H ead .

Fairy tales are popular among them, and there is one w h ic h comes from over the border in Siam which was told us by a Siamese. Tlie exaggerations all bang together artistically and are in the same key, as it were: “There was once a icing who heard that there was au enormous giant in a far country, and he declared that he should never rest till he got a hair of the giant’s head. So lie sent his fleet, and they sailed and they sailed and they sailed for weeks and weeks and weeks, and at last one day In the after­noon it became suddenly dark, and they stuck fast and could get neither forward nor backward. Now tlie fact was that they had got inside a hole in a sort of carrot, tlie smallest vegetable in the giant’s kingdom.

“And beliokl the next morning the giant’s children went out to fish, and as they went they picked up two or three elephants on tlieir way for bait, but they were only able to catch a few of the very smallest fishes in the country—‘some­thing equivalent to our minnows’ (said the narrator). And as they were going back they saw the carrot growing hy the water’s edge, and pulled it up to put it into tlie curry, and inside it was the whole fleet. After they got home the giant threw the fish and the carrot into the pot in order to hoil them, when the fleet rose out of the root to the top of the water with all the men in it. ‘What are those curious insects V’ said the giant; peering down into the pot.” Then came a good deal more, which the narrator ha forgotten.

“The men tried to shout to the giant and tell Mm what it was that they wanted, hut tlieir voices were too weak, and he could not hear a word they said. At Ifngth he lifted them up to his ear in liis hand, and a whole boat’s crew marched in at the hole, and went ever such along way up inside, and then they all shouted together and told him they had come from tlieir king to ask him for a hair of his head. So at last he was able to hear what even then seemed to him only a whisper. Unlike his kind, the giant was apparently as good na- tured as he was big—he gave them the hair, lifted them back to the sea, where the hair, when put on hoard the fleet; nearly sank it, ‘after which he puil’ed out liis cheeks and gave a tremendous blow, wh ich carried the fleet straight home hundreds of miles at one go.’ —Good "Words.

O rder o f T ilings in E ngland*The hinds, as they are still called, the

helots oil the estates, are as stolid and brutish a race as any peasantry in the world, and seem like the slaves of the south before emancipation, content with their condition, because they have never known or conceived any other. They are bred to suppose that what they see Is the natural order of things, and that change is not only wrong but impossible, that their lot is ordained of God, as ine­vitable as death, and deliverance as far off as the stars.

The parson preaches this doctrine as religion; the squire lays it down as law; for the squire is also the justice of the peace, the highest and often the only of­ficer of the law the laborer ever sees.

N ov e l O rganizations o f Y o u n g P eop le .A novel church organization with an

excellent purpose, but with a very clumsy name, has been set on foot in Brooklyn in connection with St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. It is called the “Neaniskoi,” which is a Greek word conveying the idea of young men just budding into manhood. The youths who compose tliis society are pledged against pro­fanity, intemperance and impurity of life. They promise to abstain from visit­ing places of evil resort, of whatever grade, and they declare their intention of extending, as far as means and in­fluence will permit, religious education and culture among their associates. Among the young ladies a society of somewhat similar purpose has been organized, also bearing a clumsy Greek title. This is called tlie “Ergetai,” which means the lady workers.—New Orleans Times-Democrat.A P oison ou s P ed a g og u e o f PomerahSsi.

OMNIBUS HORSES IN PARIS.

S lip p in g an d F a llin g o n tlie S treets—TUree D istin ct P eriod s o f E xisten ce.A few days ago while sitting in the

reading-room of the American exchange here, and idly Watching the busy rush of vehicles passing to and fro along the Boulevard des Papucines, I overheard some Americans commenting on tlie pe­culiarities of French vehicles and horses observable from that view. .

“ Why are those horses allowed to slip and fall so much? haven't the owners care enough to get them rough-shod this Icy weather?” asked an American.

“They are not allowed to rougli-shoe horses used on the Paris streets,” was the reply. “The streets are cemented, you see, and the slioe3 would cut them to pieces. All the liorse-slioes are flat, without any points to grip the ground. No wonder they slip, hut you know in France beauty is the main consideration, utility and comfort are minor matters. By the way, have you observed the en­tire absence of buggies? You never see a phaeton buggy in Paris. There are a few high buggies and what we call road- wagons, hut nearly all the vehicles are carnages. But what magnificent horses you see here!”

“The beasts they drive in the cabs, for instance,” replied tbe other laughing, as he pointed to a “coclier” mimercifully bela­boring a delapidated specimen of wish-I- had-some-oats.

“Oh, no! of course I don’t mean those broken-down relics used by tbe cab com­panies. They are not fit for cart horses in America, and the men who starve them and then whip them all day long ought to he treated in tlie same way un­til they learn some mercy. I wasnot re­ferring to them, however. You know in Paris a horse has three distinct periods of existence, just as in America a cat lias nine lives. He is bom aristocratic and dies a pauper; or, rather, like a criminal. First, when about five years old; he is bought hy the omnibus company, and—

“What! Do you call an omnibus horse an aristocrat?”

“Most assuredly, in Paris. There are not better fed, better groomed, nor bet­ter treated horses in the world than the Paris omnibus horse. See! look at that team of three plump, strong, healthy Percherons trotting three abreast with- that omnibus, which is exactly filled.with passengers. But don’t interrupt me now until I get through my classification. The first period of a horse’s life is his easiest- and happiest,, when from about 5 to 12 years of age, he is oared for by the Paris Omnibus monopoly. Then after he has passed twelve of possibly fourteen year's lie is sold to one of the cab companies. These cab companies own a large number of cabs and accompanying outfits, which they rent to drivers for from 12 to 15 francs a clay. Under certain police regulations then the drivers are allowed to make’as much money as they can with these cabs, but at the end of each day must pay the rent of the outfit. They are allowed to charge a franc and a half (30 cents) for every trip or 2 francs an hour, and of course the harder they beat their horses the more trips they can make, and as they do not own the horses themselves, they have no mercy. The cab company does not xmd’ertake to prevent tliis tor­ture. It would be powerless to do so, and the police authorities never interfere. Then when the horse has been nearly beaten to death, the cab company sells it to the butchers who drive it—the last trip—to the horse abbatoirs where it is knocked in the head with a long ham­mer. The first blow fells it to the ground and makes a little hole through the fore­head. Then a tope is attached to its hmd legs and the dead horse shows up, skinned and carved, and you may eat a piece of that aged beast which lias just fallen down there, to-morrow for your dinner, and imagine you are dining on roast beef.”

“Oh pshaw, that is all nonsense. They don’t eat horse flesh anywhere. That is certainly only a newspayer story.”

“Don’t they? well it has only been a few weeks since I visited tlie horse abbatoirs and saw them kill the horses— the sorriest lot of beasts I ever saw—and then when I returned I asked for a horse steak at the hotel' where I was stop­ping. The waiter looked astonished at my request, and told me that horse meat was used only at, the cheap restaurants and by workingmen, for it brings only seven sous (cents) a pound. But I told him I wanted to try it, and lie finally pretended to send out for one, and when it came I ate it and then saw that I had been eating horse meat several days,, supposing it was only extra coarse beef. Of course the best restaurants do not keep it, but it is a great deal more com­monly used than you think in Paris, and lias been, ever since tlie German siege of Paris.”

While Garfield, youngest son of Geo. S. Ricaby, was playing with some companions Friday evening a dog pass­ed by: As the dog came near the lit­tle fellow spoke to it and extended his hand for a friendly pat when the dog bit him severely just above the wrist. It is hoped no serious results will fol­low. Such occurrences as these make the muzzling of Jill dogs a necessity and the ordinance thereto a timely remedy.—Dailg Pailadiu m.

In all parts of the state they are hav­ing tnad-dog scares, some of them genu­ine. Most to wns have laws requiring clogs to be muzzled and enforce them. Buchanan hits nothing of tlie kind.

D uring the storm Monday lightning struck in several places in this vicini­ty. Among tlie places reported are Frank Hamilton’s barn, in Dayton, which, with its contents, including two horses, was burned. The building was worth $230 to $800, and the loss will reach $750 to $1,000. One horse be­longed to Mr. Hamilton and tlie other to Dr. Salter, of Three Oaks. A tree near the Union school building, and a shock of wheat in Mr. Curtis' field just south o f town were also victims of the electric fluid. A shock of wheat in Koenigshof’s field, near Dayton, was burned, and a few shingles and parts of tlie cornice on Alonzo Potter’s house in the south-west corner of this town­ship, were torn up. A tree in Charley Mathew’s woods, south of Dayton, was completely riddled, and tlie rails of a fence close by thrown in all directions.

There is one practice that has be­come common within the past few years that is in a sense a swindle. It is tlie benefit system of operating trav­eling entertainments. By experience tlie managers know about what per­centage o f the receipts will cover the local expenses, such as hall rent, hill posting, expressage, and all other items aside from hotel bills and salaries of actors, and so arrange their contracts that some church society or other or­ganization will pay these expenses and lend the influence of its members to attract a crowd, when in not one ease in a dozen will there be anything left. By this means the show company avoids paying license, the owners of halls are induced to take half price or nothing for hall rent, and all of tlie bill peddling and posting is done with­out expense. A sample contract is that made by the Urso company with tlie hand. By its stipulations the com­pany takes the first $75 and half of the excess. The band pays hall rent, li­cense, piano rent, and other expenses, amounting to not far from $15, so that the receipts must reach at least $103 before the hoys get their money back, saying nothing of the work they have clone, a tiling not likely to occur. It maybe urged that if local organizations will not do this, that we will have no good entertainments, We certainly coulcl not have any more poor ones, as they do not exist, and if there be an evidence that a profit is to be gained they will come here just as freely on their own responsibility. This prac­tice of nearly every company being operated in this way will be hard to break, but the sooner the farce is dis­continued the better for all communi­ties.

Wm. Davis was horn in Ebbensburgh, Penn., Jan. 22,1S2G, and came to Mich­igan in 1S4C. He was married to Mary, daughter o f Stephen Salee, o f Xiles township, April 12, 1S49, and settled on a farm lie had purchased in Pipe­stone township, where lie resided eight years, when he sold out and bought a farm o f his father-in-law, upon which he resided at the time of liis death. Mr. Davis was a man of most retiring nature, hut his many excellent quali­ties made him conspicuous. His fellow citizens elected him clerk, then for sev­ered years supervisor; For many years he was President o f the Agricultural Society, and he was most efficient, hon- oi-able and honest in whatever lie un­dertook. He will be much missed in the community. He leaves a wife, an adopted son, two brothers, John, of Xiles township, and Miles, of Pipe­stone ; two sisters, Mrs. Mary Delong and Mrs. Rachel Fisher,—Niles Star.

TH REE O AKS ITEMS.July 13, 1880.

The long lookeil-for shower reached this vicinity yesterday, just in time to cool off our citizens for the annual school meeting which took place last evening. The amount of rain-fall was entirely sufficient for agricultural pur­poses, but entirely insufficient to prop­erly tone down tlie electric powers of some of our would-be educators who were compelled, by force of circum­stances,.to work it off in loud speeches in the evening. A stranger passing through our town on the fast express, at forty-five miles an hour, has little conception of the surplus oritorical power which is every day going to waste among our citizens. Some of them have been educated to use tbe annual school meeting- as an escape valve for their long pent up oratory, and last evening several such orifices were opened, but they all appeared to have been constructed upon the “ pop valve” principle, instantaneous open ing and closing. The questions under discussion were of somewhat naughty and dirty character. The naughty referring to the retiring school board.in employing all the teachers for tbe en­suing school year,and the general trans­action of all school business. The dirty work, the retiring board were not so anxious to complete, and left tins work very generously for the new members to break themselves in .. This work con­sisted in cleaning the school house privies, and work of this character, which was left for the new board. One person who failed to make a speech on one of these mooted questions, has been given notice that he will neither be en­dorsed for Governor or member of Con­gress. Two gentlemen arose at the same time to discuss the latter ques­tion, when a dignified member o f the retiring board addressed the chair, that they were both out of order, when one of tlie speakers very generously consented that the meeting should be adjourned or held open, until the worthy member and his colaborers had time to put them in order, at which time the retiring board did retire, nose in hand, to finish up unfinished busi­ness of the year. At this moment there were about forty aspirants for the office of trustee, who sent to the desk tlieir withdrawal, declining, ow­ing to tlie weak condition of their di­gestive organs, and the meeting pro­ceeded to re-elect Dr, Sovereign, as trustee, with instructions to leave all duties for coming years to new hoard, including the cleaning o f privies. The meeting raised by vote $1,200 or $1,500 for school purposes. They are not car­ing which, as the “solons” disagree on the parliamentary usages and law. Take tlie Whole affair, it was a dark night indeed for the Featherbone city.

G alla n t Gen, D an S ick les Speaks—W liat H a n c o ck Said a t Gettysburg*—K eu n lon o l th e V eteran T h ird A rra y C orps U pon th e Field*

July 1. 3, 8, ISOS, was fought in Adams county. Pa., the fight of Gettysburg, one of the great battles of the civil war."W h en ever th e name is mentioned, the mind instinct­ively reverts to Gen. H a n c o ck .By the way it was a black horse and not a white one. as is generally sap- posed, that Han­cock rode on that historic field. His( sable steed was so covered with dust that it looked white they say. and that gave rise to the white horse fiction.

"Washington swore at Mbamcuth, so also did Hancock swear at Gettysburg, and that furiously. A certain part o f otu‘ army was badly demoralized at one point c f line Hancock went thundering over there upon his black horse. He saw a colonel whom he knew, with a brigade. Longstreet’s men were cdvancing in plain sight It was a moment of suspense. A t that portion c f the lines there seemed to be no order or any­thing. Those who should have given com­mand had lost their heads. In this emer­gency the colonel said to Hancock:

‘ 'General, we can’t get any orders here Don’ t you think I better try and delay Long- street as much as possible, with my little brigadef’ Gen. Hancock gave a glance at the coming foe, and replied instantly: ‘ ‘Yes. and------quick.”

That is one of the real incidents of battle­field which writers do not put into history,

because they fancy they do not sound fine, nor look well in type.

This twenty-third, anniversary o f the fight at Gettysburg was the greatest occasion there since the batt’e itself. The Third army corps had a re­union, the old Third army corps, that is,

: the volunteers who ■ fought the fight "From Hew York and Hew Jersey, f r o m H ew Eng­land, from Penn­sylvania, Indiana and Minn< sota.they g a t h e r e d a n d

camped upon the field. Many distingui bed men were there, ton

The ornt.-r o f the occasion was Gen. Daniel E. Sick’es. Gen. Sickles badbeen on the Gettysburg battlefield before. He bad not forgotten it, for be left a part of himself there. Here it was he lost his leg. It was amputated upon the battlefield. He com­manded the famous old Third corps during the fight The 2nd of July was called the Third corps’ day because it was on this date that they made their great fight The soldiers and their commander were young men then, reckless boys many of them.How they are all gray heads together.

The autumn after the fight, part of the.,- battle ground was"1 made a national Si 1- w diers’ cemetery. was dedicate 1 to thbg tffC y use by Presideat Lcoin himself, m hi-. - ~----------'most famous oration, P I t was here that htl used the h i s t o r i c f ^ ' - ^ £ Sf3 ;5i’ words: “In order that’ *" ' * 0 _ -government of the 3d m a ss . b a t t e r y . people, for the people and by the people might not perish from the earth.”

In the Gettysburg cemetery lie the bo lies o f 3,600 soldiers. The different- states en­gaged in tbs fight have placed monuni, nls to their dead upon the ground. That of the Thirteenth Mossacliuseetsrepresents acolor-

bearor. This monu­ment stands near the Mumurasburg road. Hear the point called

fr Massachusetts was ~ — * ■■ f f -=" largely represented os1st m ass . CAVAURY. t'lat fateful day, awl

lost heavily in every arm of the service. A quaint monument is that of the Hirst Massachusetts cavalry ampUg the rest at Gettysburg. It consists of merely an upright, rough, four-cornered stone. A horse's head and crossed saber : are carved upon it in much the same man­ner as the dying lion was carved upon the cliff at Lucerne, Switzerland, by Thorwald sen. Below an inscription upon a densely black ground designates the number of the cavalry regiment and the brigade and di­vision to which it belonged. The words “on detached service” are added below.

Gen. Sickles delivered his oration standing in the open field, beside the monument of the One Hundred and Fourteenth Pennsylvania regiment Gen. Sick­les was a lawyer in p r a c t i c e In Haw York city before the war, and not a West Pointer, though he, made one of the besi- of the minor com­m a n d e rs . After­w a r d s he went as minister to Spain from 1860 to 1S74.

The monuments are placed directly upon the battle ground. They indicate where the respective regiments designated by them stood in position during the fight. Some of thsm'undoubtcdly stood in several places before it was over. Twenty-one additional monuments were dedicated during this anni­versary.

Gen; Sickles returned from Spain to re­sume his: old law practice in Hew York. He

is still occupied with it. Next ta

fry his speech the prin­cipal oration of the

’ occasion was made -by Col. A. Wilson

-g 'l ' Harris. It was in dedication, of a

"* monument to mark the spot where Gen. Reynolds, o f Penn­

sylvania, fell. The state, mindful o f him, ret up the stone.. Ho two o f the monuments are ezneily

alike. Tiiere is nothing particularly strik­ing about them, though they are substantial,, and most of them tasteful. Within narrow limits there is much, variety. The great memorial mark of this battlefield Is that upon the hill in the cemetery. It is a column sixty feet high, with a statue of liberty upon the top—a national monument.

The Gettysburg battle is considered by historians as the turning point of the war: It was an invasion of the ncrfch by the southern force under Lee and his most trusted, generals. In the terrific third days’ fighting fortune hovered now above this banner, now above t'-at, At last Lee drew off his shattered army and re­treated hack across the Potomac. Neither side had anything to boast of as far as losses were concerned. At first it was a toss-up in the engagement which would win. I f the die _had fallen the other way nobody can guess, what the final result w o u ld have been.Gettysburg is only 115 miles from Philadel-] phia, and that is only

- two hours’ ride by rail.• from Hew York. Ill

In answer to the invitation Congressman Barksdalo writes:

GEN. F ITZ JOH N P O R TE R Tlie C elebrated Case o f T his C oun try

Settled at Xast.Twenty-three years ago this summer a court

martial convened at West Point, ordered that Maj.-Gen. Fitz John Porter be cashiered and dismissed from the Unue l States army. He was further disqualified from holding auy position under the United States govern­ment. Tms severe sentenc i v as passed at a

time when the af­fairs of the union w ere so critical that men did no: always act ni.h c o o l Judgment T he offe.ee a - leged M as d s > bedienco of the o r d e r s of G.m. John Po. e at Mui- a ssa s Ju: cliou Aug. 2ti nut 251 lhOi. He fail'd n< s u p p o r t Popes movements. Presi­dent Lincoln ap­

proved the sentence, so did Secretary of W ar Stanton; so at that time did Gen. Grant,

Years afterwards, however, Gen. Grant and many others changed their minds on the question. There are those who do not hesi­tate to say that others higher in office than Gen. Porter deserved disgrace and even death at that time, if anybody did. It has been said, indeed, that half the important officers o f the army deserved to be shot for their incapacity during the first years of the war. The rea on alleged for Porter’s negligence was that there was a ring o f eastern officers devoted to Gen. McClellan who were determined that no western man should be the general of the army. If Pope succeeded he, coming from the west, -would at Once become the rising man o f the hour. Therefore, he was not supported with alacrity.

Such pitiful jealousies and criminations and recriminations look very contemptible now in the great light that the tremendous events of those years have thrown npon the civil war. But that such feelings did exist abundantly is itself part of the history of the war. Gen. Porter’s case will be settled by every man according to bis own beliefs and prejudices.

Certain it is that ho was a gallant officer and soldier aside from this event. He was born in 1S22, iu He w Hampshire, graduate! at West Point in 1S45, went through the Mexican war with distinguished bravery, and was in many battles o f the early part of the civil war. He was n colonel iu the regular army, and a major general of volun­teers.

From the time of receiving his heavy sen­tence twenty-three years ago Gen. Porter has never ceased his efforts to have it re­called. The ease is as celebrated as that of Jarndyce and Jarndyce in Dickens, He Was a young, strong man when it was passed. He is now gray-haired and old. He has said he did not care on his own account, hut because of his children. He did not wish them to be freighted with the woe of being the sons and daughters of a disgraced man. His efforts have at length been re­ward e 1. In 1S7S nil army b i i r l met and removed the heaviest of the disabilities. The recent act of congress signed by the presi­dent puts him on "tho regular retired list of army colonels. Gen. Porter is one of the police commissioners of Hew York eitv.

TEE CHICAGO RACES.MAGNIFICENT RACING CLUB HOUSE

IN THE BREEZY CITY.

P ictu res o f W a sh in g ton P a rk Club H ou se—Gen. P h il. Sheridan , P re s id e n t o f th e A ssoc ia tion —Ik e M u rph y , L u ck y B a ld w in ’s SG,000 a T ea r Col­ored J ock ey .

Xt^vas a shrewd stroke of business to elect Gen. Phil. Sheridan president of the Wash­ington Park Racing club, in Chicago. Hew Yoi k itself coaid not find so picturesque and so valuable a figure to set up at the head of any of its horse associations. But Chicago is young Hew York, with most things on a new, broad scale. It attains the best in whatever it undertakes.

About the last of the year 1S32, a number of C h icgo gentlemen, with the greatness of their windy city at heart, met and discussed Ilians for a horse club. Its objects were to promote good feeling, raise the standard of horses and horse breeding, and lastly, and perhaps away down, in each gentlemen’s heart, greatest of all, “exhibiting horses at; me >tings,” in other Words, racing.

In 18S3, January, the association took sba e regularly, 'under the name of "Wash­ington Park club.Very soon after Gen. Sheridan was elected president of the dub. He was not the general of the army then, but became so soon after, and since then, he has not been too proud to continue the Had­ing officer of the C h i c a g o horse club. The general is 53yeara old now, GEy pHIL sheridan. and good for manymany more Chicago horse races, lot us hope. He was only 20 when he graduated at "West Point He took tnhon.es away back, when ho was a hoy in Ohio. Gen.. Hancock called him “ A whirlwind with spurs on.” He him­self was the observed and admired of all at the recent summer races of tho Washing­ton clnb. Ha sat In the judges’ stand on ! watched the running with deep interest, very gray as to his hair now, since the twins have made so many demanls on him, but erect, jaunty and bright eyed as ever. Tne general looks like a rather tall man when ho is sitting down. But when ho stands it is perceived that his lower limbs are short. "While he was in the judges’ stand his brother, Michael V., wandered about among the horsemen.

CLUB HOUSE.The grounds of the club contain o'ghty-

tbree acres, and comprise one of the largest race tracks in the country. The landscape is beautifully laid out with trees, shrubs, walks, flowers, and miniature lakes. The grand sland- has a seating capacity of 10, 000. The club house proper has accommodations for members- and their families, dining rooms for both ladies and gentlemen, and a sumptuous table service, whose silverware is stamped with a stirrup and whip bent in the shape o f a “W .” There are magnificent stables and plenty of lodging rooms for jockey;.

Fifteen thousand people attended the great race o f the summer series lately. It was a running race fo r young horses. The1

old. Involutes were largely bucked. There were nearly all the runners that had cov­ered themsolves with glory at the Louisville- Derby—Bea Ali, Blue "Wing, Pre-ciosn. and others. Ben Ali, who won at Louisville, was first favorite in the betting. Everybody believed Up or Blue "Wing would come out ahead. The horses ' o f two Chlifornia stables occupied much prominence in the talk before therace. One owner was J, Hi Higgins, to whom be­longed Ben Alt and Ban Fox, the other was the eccentric Lucky Baldwin, with his racers from his Santa Anita stables To him belonged Silver Cloud, the horse that, amid tremendous cheering and excitement, came in winner.

CLUB HOUSE FIREPLACE.In a. city as cold as Chicago artificial heat

other than that obtained at the gorgeous club bar, is sometimes required even dnriug races- To meet this need the office o f the club house is proviled with arrangements for an onen fire. The fireplace is a fine speci­men o f American artistic accomplishment.

Tho race was intensely exciting. Lucky Baldwin has a certain little colored jockey whom he pays 86,000 a year to rids his horses at races. He seems to bo the greatest jockey America has produced. He is said to be superior to Archer, the Englisman. Either his luck or his skill is something mar­velous. They call him the “ wonderful little nigger." At the Chicago races Silver Cloud was not expected to win at all. But Ike Murphy, the little colored jockey, was upon his back, and he daslud in a length ahead of Blue Wing.

The Chicago Herald says cf the scene that followed:

“ As Murphy came in under the wire he was greeted with a Storm of app’au-e, an l when he dismounted men ran up to him and patted hint on the hack One man in a blue suit threw his arms around his neck as though he was about to chew his ear. Tho great jockey was presented with a beautiful saddle and was nearly borne off the track by men who thought he would w.n and had hacked up their guesses with greenbacks and Coin ’ ’

The result of the race was a surprise to the knowing ones who had bet their money on Bill J Wing and Beil Ali. It was a sur­prise to Jockey Murphy, who said:

“I didn’ t expect the horse vou'd win at all. After he had run a mile he saw that iie was behind and then he began to sulk. Tuat’sano’d trick of his, and I just ton -bed him up and gav • him a word of encouragement. The wav he shot to the front nearly took my breath away, and I had to laugh to my-.elf all th1 way down the stretc l. The liorso wanted some encouragement, that’s al

JUDGES’ STAND.. “Lucky” Baldwin, who wins about §9,000 in stakes, dfofnot back his horse to win. He had little hope/of seeing Silver Cloud get a place, much less winning the race. After lie had congratulated his jockey he riveted his ping hat on the back o f bis head and be­gan to stroll about the grounds as though ho were lost Old horsemen who saw him said that the Californian was “kicking” himself.

“Silver Cloud won the race just because Murphy was on his back,” said a man. “The next time I see that fellow on a horse I’m going to play him, no matter if it’s a saw­horse he’s cn."

The pilgrimage of the five little Hewark boys to Pasteur’s establishment to bo treated for rabies which they were supposed to have root tved from a mad dog bite is still fresh iu the reader’s mind. Their case attracted universal attm fon, hut to no individual did it have that special interest which it re­ceived from D.v Valentine Mott, of Hew York. He is a namesake and grandson of the celebrated Dr. Mott who, prior to his death In 1805, was one of the fsw jiraeti- tioners with a national reputation. The present Dr. Mott it a graduate of Columbia coll *go and Bellevus Medical college. He watcjc.l Professor Pasteur’s researches and the result of his experiments from their in­ception, an 1 beingsatisfi.nl that they were fruitful o f good to humanity he resolved on founding a Pasteur cure in the now world, so that p itients would be saved the tedious and expensive trip to Paris. "With this end in view he went to Paris last spring, and re­mained under Professor Pasteur’s instruction for some time. He became a firm bo lever in the correctness of the great savant’s theories, and has applied himself, with the a il of his father and his assistant, Dr. Baldwin, to their development on this side of tne Atlantic.

One of the principles of the Pasteur theory is tho well-known one that the human sys­tem can, by taking gradually increased doses of any poison, become so habituated or hardened to it as to be unaffected by it. This i? exemplified in the tobacco and mor­phine habits, or in the case of what is com­monly known as “poison ivy,” which is highly poisonous to some people through the mere touch, while if they but chew the leaves of it it renders them proof against it3 poison.

To carry out this principle of tho Pasteur method the patient who has received the rabid virus from a mad dog's bite, and which, if it is allowed to run its course, is liable to bring Its victim to death through the terrible hydrophobia, is inoculated with virus of gradually increasing strength until he becomes so habituated to taking this kind o f poison into his system that not only is the original virus received from the dog’s bite rendered innocuous, but he can invite rabid dogs to bite him with impunity.

Dr . M o t t d r i l l i n g a r a b b i t ’ s c r a n i u m .How to dilute the virus is one of Professor

Pasteur’s discoveries, and it is at this work Dr; Mott has been engaged for months past. He brought With him from Paris a rabbit that had some poison flowing through his body. 0.1 his arrival in this country this rab­bit died from hydrophobia, as was expected,, Theusome o f the Virus from his body was introduced into the brain of a live and IraltUy rabbit through a small hole drilled in his cranium. Then, on the death of this last rabbit the operation was repeated to another, and so on, the virus becoming; by transmission from one rabbit to another, weaker- and weaker, and the length of time required for the virus to show its effects on each rabbit becoming more and more ex­tended in the same ratio. Virus from each rabbit is carefully labeled and preserved in sterilized jars for future use as medicine.

THE FIRST INOCULATION IN AMERICA.- This scene may become a historic one. I t was the occasion'of the first treatment o f a uatient for rabies ju America by the Pas-

tour method. Tho Coy was first inoculated with virus after its transmission through fifteen rabbits. The operation is a simple and painless one, a more abrasion of the skin of the left breast and a touch of the Virus, as in vaccination. This operation will be repeated onpe each day for ten days, tho patient receiving on tho last day virus ten degrees stronger than that at first used, by which time tho boy’s sj-stom will have addicted, as it were, to tho rabies habit, and tbe original rabies he received from tho dog will be rendered harmless:

Tho very first operation Dr. Mott per­formed on himself, in the presence of a num­ber of physicians, to provo that tho treat­ment Was harmless in the case of a healthysubj ;ct. ______ ___________

T rin ces A m E x p ected to V isit T hisC ountry.Uneasy lies the head thatdias any aspira­

tions for the throne of Frauce, and restless, a'so, seems to bo the republican form of government which it was expected would be sufficiently oilv- to quiet the troubled waters of Fi eti-h politics for all time. Looking at it from this distance, it does seem as if the government of Franco was not ovor- burdened wi'lt popular approval, or its sup­

porters would not be disturbed by the presence of a couple of 'repre­sentatives of what is believed to bo effete methods of government. The thru; parties con- silered most dan­gerous to the re­publican form of government are ilie representative? of the Or ean'ist. Mon­

archist and BoUrb n families. These fac­tions are so all,: a ronistie, to one am ther as to prefer even anarchy to the success of the'>;hor.

The 0 1 'must party is rich, bat not very m:morons, and far from active. Tn.» Mm- ai chiral party is in favor of a king by divino right, hut has none to go to. The members of I Ills party have bo m brought up to bats mil despise the lions} of Orleans, yet the elder branch having fallen, the hated head of that Family is a’.s i the heir of Henry V an-1 t.f all their kin-s. They prefer the re­public, prefer anything to having the grand­son of Louis Philippe ami the great-grand­son of “Louis Egali o” prof-me tils throne of St. Louis.

The strongest party, the B inaoartist-', want an empire, but arc much in the same position as tho Monarchists. The heir of the great Hapoleon is the haled P.on-P.on, tho most Unpopular man in all France. B .'sides this, It is objected, his father married a German princess, ho an Italian Many ardent Imperialists say that they can even place no hopes in tbo sons of a man like that until i hey have proven them­selves posses ed of the virtues that en­deared tho founder of their family to the French. Hid the young sm of Hapoleon i l l lived, they say he would surely have been the emperor; but he brave, handsome boy went to liis death

in Zuluiaiul to gain a little glory, and by his last acts endeared his memory to the hearts of his countrymen.

Nevertheless the French sonate adopted a law on June 22 for the “expulsion of the princes.” It is brief and as follows:

A rt 1. The territory of the republic, is and shall reinaiu interdicted to the chiefs of the families that have reigned in France, and to their direct heirs in tils order ofprimogeniture1.

Art. 2. The government i? authorized to interdict th» territory of tho republic to tbe other members o f these families. Such in­terdiction shall bo pronounced by n decree of the p'esi lent i f t e repull.c, issue 1 inrv.tmo'l nf tit »

tvIwi v r m vioat.oi of the inter­diction, ..ball be

, f. und in France, in A geria.or iu the ro i unes, shall be p .n s V d by fm- pr.s,'iimont f o r I.om two to five year-!. At I he ex- plrition of his lentence ho shall bMaken again to the f .-ont'er.

Art. -1. The niem- b?i s o : the famili s that Have reigned

in France e mnot enter the army or navy, or exerc so any puuiio .uuuuou, or hold any elective officii.

The four persons immediately affected by tho law are those whole portraits are given herewith: The Comte do Paris and soil, the heads of the Orleanists, and Prince Hspsloan and toil, the rep. esentatives of the B jnap irta family.

The Comte de Paris, who served during our civil war jn the army of the Potomac, lias already ue?li cabled an invitation to come over by some of his old army com­rades, nnd it is fully expectol that he will come. The comte has made friends on thi: Side of the Atlantic, and hi? literary labors in the reviiioa of his history of the civil war would bo facilitated by coming here. The young Due d’Orleans is 17 years of age. He has grown much of late years. His face is intelligent and lull of resolution and vivacity, and his dark e.-os look you full in the face with manly frankness. He has a resolute- and decided disposition. He is an inde­fatigable walker, an excellent fencer, swim­mer and rider, and a remarkably goed shot He speaks correctly and fluently four or five languages.

Prince Jerome Hapolo n hns expressed himself on several occasions d u r in g the'past few years as anxious to come to this coun try, and will doubtless avail bimself of the ex- cell mt opportunity fo r t r a v e l i n g offered by a forci­ble expu sion from France. P r in c e Jerome is in his every taste and characteristic as different from the first Hapoleon a? one mail can bo from another. His cowardice made him cut such a ridiculous figure dur ng the Crimean war that the sobr’quet of Plon-Pion he won then has stuck 10 him ever since. He takes af'er the founder of his family in but one resp et, liis personal ap­pearance. Of this res blance Prince Je­rome is very proud; he •• rather taller than the “iittlo corporal,” mil is just about us flisby as his famous uncle was in his latter years, liis cheek? and lips are closely shaven, and his features large and rather handsome. Ho one who is familiar with the pictures of Hapoleon I would fail to recog­nize his lineaments in tho face of his heir. Both of the sons of Prince Hapoleon may. come to this country when they are ex­pelled, aud it is certain that Prince Victor, who is now making a tour of the world will be here soon.

Several republican journals, while in­sisting on the execution of the law, in regard to the princes, now deni' > i that tho ministry shall show the same energy in dealing with the Anarchists and enemies of public order which it has displayed toward the royal Dretenders.

THE JEROME COTTAGE.Ex-President Arthur’s cottage is one of

a cluster which surround the aristocratic and exclusive Pequot house. It is located on the right bank of .the Thames river, Con­necticut, and but a mile or so from its en­trance into Long Island sound. The spot is yegardedjis au exceedingly salubrious one.

and it is hoped that Jn tlio retirement of bis retreat the handsome ex-president may be restored to his old-time vigorous health. Oa the occasion o f his start for this place the ex-president told his friends who had come to see - him off that he was not: troubled in any way whatever, except by his stomach, and added, with a laugh, “ You know how strong that used to lie.”

He looks very pale and wasted, however, and seems a much sicker man than‘ Mi friends Or his physician will admit him to he. His flowing side whiskers, which were onco the distinguishing feature of his face, are gone. An incipieni mustache gives him a youthful nppearanc which is counter­balanced by the feebleness of his step.

Congress, aided by the state of FTevv York, is about to erect at Newburg on the Hud­son, a memorial to commemorate the closing scenes in the revolutionary war* Tho site chosen is one of the most picturesque on the continent. It is a bluff overlooking the river, and from it can bo ssou YVest Point aud the towering peaks from whose altitudes the signal fires told the story of tbe birth of the revolution* It is also the site of Wash­ington’s headquarters, while the whole region around it abounds in historic interest.

TIIT2 WASHINGTON MEMORIAL.Tho engraving from the drawing of the

architect. Mr. John H. Duncan, of New York, will give a very good idea of this unique structure. It will measure thirty- seven by thirtyrtwo feet, with a total height of fifry-three feet to the ridge of the roof. The material used in construction will bo granite gneiss.

In the center of the structure will stand a life-size bro.*ze statue of "Washington by 0 Donovanupon a pedestal of polished red granite.

The top of the tower will furnish a look­out or belvedere, approach to which will be hnd by means oE two winding staircases in tbe corners of the tower. .Two hundred or SCO persons at a time will find accomodations here, and the view which the tower will command will be atti*act.ve to tourists from all time to come. The roof will be < f iron and dark red tile, supported by thirteen mafslvd column7, typical of the thirteen original states, and upon these columns it is intended in time that the bronstj coat of arms of the states shall be placed. Upon the east and west walls ofthe tower niches will be provide! for four figures in bronze* to bepat in x?lace later. The present idea is that statues of Washington’s four favorite gen­erals may occupy these places, or allegorical figures may be substituted* Oa the western wall and at the right of the archway, as seen ip the sketch above', a bronzj tablet will b e sc-j in, to bear such commemorative inscrip'.ion as shall be agreed upon as ap­propriate.

A W ONDEEFUL 0CCUEKEI7C5

(Detroit HoivsJTho interest awakened In an important

occurence at Jaclcson caused a representa­tive of this paper to visit that city. He registered at the Hurd House and encaged Hon. Frank L. Smith, its proprietor, aud ex-member of the State Legislature in conversation.

“Mr. O. D. Denio, it man very well- known in this community, was probably the worst wreck pliysicially of any manthis country lias ever seen. He was-------- ”

Mr. Smith stopped suddenly, and going to the door called in a man who was pass­ing. I t was Mr. Denio, who said :

“ I am wliat people caU ’resurrected.’ From a slight attack of rheumatism, growing out of a cold, I grew worse until m y limbs were swollen fearfully, aud my right side entirely paralyzed. Any one who has had rheumatism knows w bat I suffered. The doctors were very faithful, but they did not help me. They iidmiiiis- tered morphine constantly, but it could not kill the pain. Indeed, during my ravings I declared I would shoot tlie doctors if I ever recovered, which, of course, I was not responsible for. I looked and longed for death. Butyetyou see me in perfect health. Do you want to know wliat is was tliut saved my life, virtually raised mo from the grave after the doctors and roj’ friends luid abandoned me, and keeps me well all the while? Hibbard’s Khemvtf tic Syrup, the best medicine ever given to suffering humanity.”

Hewspaner men are naturjillyskeptical, and so "the writer called on tlie well-known house of Carroll & Board- mail for whom Mr. Denio worked when he was first taken si'ek. Mr. Carroll said:

“ Mr. Denio was one of the sickest men that ever recovered. He was’puralyzed from rheumatic poison, nnd no one ever dreamed he would get well. Hols well though, and it is simply marvelous.”

“ Dr. Charles II. Lewis, residing at 209 Blackstone street, attended Mr. Denio during his sickness,and said Mr. Denio had been a very sick man, bad gone beyond tbe reach of the medical profession, and had been cured, ns he declared, by the use of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup.

The above facts are true and t hey can be relied upon by all readers. We have in­vestigated the entire case thoroughly and know it to be so. It is a lesson to all suf­ferers and should bo carefully remem­bered and acted upon.
