Among the many distressing cases one hears of one
alone I will mention—that of a pier girl travelling in
the name cart iage with a friend of mine, who had lost
her father, two brothers and a stepbrother, her whole
family being swept off in one day. One should be
thankful this accident happened when it did, if
accident there must nei de have been, for the great
Fog6!wese, the annual feast of the Saxons, held at
Dresden night and day for one week, bad attracted
many others who wculd otherwise have met the same
sad fate as their fellows. There is great difficulty in
obtaining details, hut this is unavoidable, owing to the
rigour with which the soldiers are b.und to keep the
public back in order not to interfere with the progress
of the search. I was fortunate enough to be there
early, and the soldiers pas-ed me through, which
enabled me to take a minute view of everything; but
the scene is one so sad, no heartrending, as agonising,
with the plain, outspoken anguish of the bereaved
around you, that he most be a hardhearted man indeed
who can survey the catastrophe unmoved. For me it
will be one lifelong remembrance.

homed), proverb, "BOW smutty thou art," for neither '
one is sooty; and I speak of a coal not of a wood
burning country. The cooking in an ordinary German
gentleman's house is all over by one or two o clock,
which is the gm- ral dinner hour; and the afternoon is
as much at the disposal of the ladies for visiting, coffee
parties (estactly the counterparts of our afternoon teat.)
'Music or reading, as it is in England.
A German professor wishing to marry on what
would be a hopelessly small income in England, does
not "marry a cook," in the sense of a woman who
knows nothing but cooking, but a young lady who in
the most ordinary cases has had a very sound ground-
work of education on which subsequent intellectual
culture may be based, according to her mental tastes
and powers, far more securely than is generally
the case in England. When she left school,
however, at about seventeen, she did not drop
down into an idle life at home, or take to
schools and hospitals to work on her superfluous
energies; she took her share of the household duties.
I do not mean she scrubbed floors or cleaned bedrooms,
but she went with her mother occasionally to market.
She first saw and then took part in the cooking, and
was very soon able to do the smaller part herself
cakes, puddings, and help in preserves; experience
only can teach the superintendence of roasting, baking,
boding—times and quantities—but it is experience
easily gained.
Nor It. it onlyhooking the ladies help in—the light
work of the housemaid, dusting the ornaments, washing
the best china and glass, falls to their part, and thus
the upper housemaids' "occupations gone," and when
the mistress has duly gained her experience in the
kitchen the first-rate cook is not required. There is a
housemaid less, and a cook at half the wages only
needed, a distinc, and direct economy.
Then as to " waiting at table ; " the German ladies
do help, but not as standing about to wait as our green-
grocers and vergers do in cathedral towns, or a half-
dozen black.coated gentlemen in London. The servant
brings in the &tales and sets them on the table, the
party pass them round, and the family often change
the plates, and the room is all the quieter for it.
Now, what is to hinder our English ladies doing the
like? For there is no neglect of accomplishments, so
called, or needlework caused by it, nor does it any way
hinder the German lady from joining in society. There
is in some cases less out-door work done, but there are
many who work for and visit the poor a great deal.
May I suggest as a question worthy of consideration
whether the judgment of damsels of eighteen, fresh
from the isolation of the schoolroom, is quite as ripe
and equal to supply social, economical, and religious
advice to poor married women with families, as it might
be after a few years of household experience at home?
May I also remind the young ladies that if they are
competent to manage the house without the expense of
first-rate servants, they are likely to be acceptable wives
to sensible men.

THE " CRICKLEWOOD MYSTERY"
EXPLAINED.
The unfortunate ocenrrence which has been so called
is at length satisfactorily explained. As long ago as
the 28th of June a young woman named Elizabeth
Warburton was found in an insensible condition on the
Midland Railway at Cricklewood, near Hendon (Lon-
don), having, as it was ascertained, either fallen or been
pushed fruits the carriage in which she had been riding.
She was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, and for a long
time she remained unconscious ; even since regaining
her senses she has not been in a condition to be ques-
tioned until Tuesday, when in the presence of her
parents and a police officer she made a statement to the
following effect :—That on the night in que-tion she
took a ticket at Kentish-town station for Mill-hill, and
was accompanied to a sec id-class carriage by her sis-
ter, to whom one of the railway officials remarked, "I'll
let you go down because I know you are not going by
the train." She states that she walked put several car-
riages, and, stopping atone said, "I'll getin here, because
it is near the guard's van." She did so, and remained in
conversation with her sister until the train started.
No other person was in the compartment with her.
She remembers passing two stations—viz. Haverstock-
hill and Finchley-road, and states that at neither of
these stations did any other person enter the compart-
ment. Shortly after leaving Filribley-road she got up
from her seat, leaned both arms on the door, and
looked out at the open window. She felt the door
shake, she says, and turned giddy. She thought she
was falling on to the seat, but fell out of the carriage,
beyond which she remembers nothing.
In order to test the accuracy of her memory, ques-
tions were put regarding the articles she had in her
possession at the time of her getting into the carriage,
ain't to these her answers were perfectly satisfactory.
All the property, with the exception of a small parcel
containing handkerchiefs, stockings, &c , was found
near the spit where she -was discovered lying. She
states most distinctly that she was not assaulted by
any one, and that no one got into the carrisge at any
part of her journey. With regard to the bruises and
other marks upon her body, the medical gentlemen
state that all of them might have been caused by a
fail from a train going at the rate of from twenty-five
to thirty miles an hour.
It is stated that the young woman is now so near
convalescence that she will be able to be removed in a
few days from the hospital.
The escape of the young woman was an exceedingly
narrow one. She was discovered by a boy, who, before
getting assistance, removed her from the up-goods line,
upon which she had fallen, to the bank, and almost
immediately afterwards a train passed over the spot.
Miss Pm arburton is not a servant at Mill-hill, as has
been stated, but a governess.
