On THE Construction OF CIsTERss. The man.
ner Of constructing cisterns for rain water in
Venice was last week described by Ne. Gfimaud
before the Academy. He recommends it strongly
to the attention of those whom it may concern.
There are in Venice over 5000 cisterns, which sup
ply the city with good, pure water. Their CON
struction may be briefly stated as follows: In the
first place a hole is dug shout ten let deep lthe
nature Of the soil at Venice prevents a greater
depth and in the share of inverted krnnicated

ALEXANDER DUMAS IN SICILY.-A lively para
graph is given by a correspondent of the London
Post to Dumas, who was at Catania, in Sicily. He
says:
The greatest hustle which the place witnessed
was called forth by the arrival of Alexander Du-
mas, in his yacht bearing his dogs, and his birds,
and his monkeys, and himself and his She admiral,
(the woman who accompanies him on his cruise,
dressed in an admirals uniform) his photographers,
his secretaries and amanuensis; his servants,
dressed, some like Cireassians, others like Greeks,
others like Spaniards, others again like Indians.
What precious row, to be sure, they did all con-
triye TO make. When Alexander the Greatest is
himself on board, he does nothing but lo on the
deck in his shirt sleeves and without any hat play
ing with his dogs chatting with the sailors OF the
other vessels or with the she-admiral. When he
lands, the gallant she-admral, Amile, always ac-
companies him. and they are constantly driving
about in an open carriage, bowling and gossip
ping and laughing with all whom they meet. Its
i lhafellow we'll metz with the veriest stranger,
and a tye-minutos' acquaintance ripens with such
marvellous rapidity into the closest friendship that
the final farewell is taken at the end of the fifth
minute, amid the heartest shaking of hands ana
kissing andl hugging. The entrance OF the other
Alexander into Babylon was doubtless very
grand affair, yet doubt if it caused as great 9
sensation as did the arrival OF the modern Ale2san
/ der into this town of Gatania.

Yesterday his wife came here after

A Romantic Young Lady and a
Fast Young Man

Moonlight, since the world began,
has been the food Of love. Cupid dane
es in her silvery rays, and his most an
tic tricks are perpetrated under her
mellowing influence 1t will be 50, phi
losophers say, and it always should be
SO, poets and lovers respond.
A poetic young lady Of our city, one
of the wild, rattle-brained sort, but en-
trely above suspicion, made the ac-
quaintance of young gentleman on the
State Fair ground, and he was smltten.
He asked to visit her, bnt some strange
freak got into the young lady's head
and she declined his visits at her home,
and so arranged as to meat him in the
evenings, and ramble with him by moon
light, often until the small hours APP
preached. What he said or how he
said it, we dom, know, but we presume
he asked to accompany her to her apart
ment, for one Sunday night she took
him to her room, stepped out and turned
the key in the door behind her.
Having performed this exploit she
awokc her father and mother, complain
ed of insults offered and told them how
she lad the libertine under lock and
key. Armed with canes and tongs the
paternal and fraternal burst into the
room, furious and in eager haste to
chastise the intruder. The young
stranger, although fast, is a youth OF
coolness and courage. He started back
in an instant, under the glare of the
light from the lamp and the fire from the
two pair ofeyes, and drew "a revolver,
telling them that if they advanced a step
he would fire every barrel at them
He let them rave on, and the old man
began to see the absurdity of his posi-
ton. Then the young lover told them
to reflect. He was in the young lady S
bed shamber, brought there by herself
Was she not more in his power than he
was in herss His love, he said, was
cooled-indeed il was below freezing
point; and he was willing to let the af-
fair rest just where it was, and that each
party should return to their own quar-
ters, with their arms in their hands. 1t
was agreed that nothing should be said
about it, but, some hints having leaked
out, we have the substance ofthe above
from one of the actors and believe it to
be true. Young ladies should not get
quite so romantic. q e flas 40

ssWhat do you mean by such unlady
like conduct" she demanded; ''let the
gentleman alone-he has never touched
you! I.should think you would be as
hamed Of yourself!" Every word of
Black-eyes was accompanied with
vigorous poke at her enemy's ribs
Grav-eyes, in despair, appealed to the
policeman at the inner door. The pol
iceman in common gallantry could not
rebuke Miss Black-eyes, so he satisfied
Justice by looking fercely at an unof-
Tending inc ividual who had been totally
unconnected with the whole affair, and
asking him "why he couldn't behave
himself?"
Both these ladies were eleg gantly and
expensively dressed-wore French bon
nets, and probably belonged to "our
first 'circles," but no two Hibernlan
danes on the Bowery ever went at each
other with more spirit than they display
ed. With such soldiers before the
walls, Sebastopol never would have
held out as long as it did!
The roguish glee with which the sur
rounding gentlemen beheld the brief
passage at arms was another element
in the cup of our dissatisfaction. Who
wants to furnish laughing stock to
their excellencies, the men?
Now this is just the way women be-
have themselves whenever it is particu
larly desirable they should be accom-
modating In the paImy days when
they were little girls, these are the self
same faults for which their mothers us
ed to box their ears and shut them up
in dark closets. We are not sure but
that piece of the same discipline would
be good for the complaint now! Moth
ing else seems to produce reforming
influence.
Can't they go to see grand old
tragedy and superb actor without
prefacing the feast intellectual leave
their watches and purses at home, pre-
vious to mingling in a crowd, for fear o.
disastrous consequences. Couldn'l
they take the same course with their
warlike propensities? Does a woman
consider everything that wears a bon
net as her natural enemy9 Isn't pol
ite word as cheap as spitefnl one?
We really would like little informa,
ton on these topics. Who will supply

Family Intercourse at Table.

hibit:ons at the tea-table; for before the

Children in good health, if left to
themselves at the table, become, after
few mouthfulls, garrulous and noisy !;
but if within at all reasonable or beara-
Bile bounds, it is better to let them
alone; they eat less, because they do
not eat so rapidly as if compelled tc
keep silent, while the very exhileration
of spirits quickens the circulation Of the
vivid fluids, and energize digestion ane

curiously meet in this regard. The

Some women are often excessively
fond of teasing those whom they love.
II is generally the very impassioned in
temperament, or the very cold, who do
50. The latter, whose love is compar-
atively languid, may do it almost con-
stantly; the former, just in the intervals
where the pulse OF love rather intermits
and in this case it seems only to be a
part or form of the general craving for
excitement Of some kind or other.
