A Marrow EscApE.-Blondin (of Ma
CARA memory,) had narrow squeak" of
it few weeks ago at the Crystal Palace,
England. 1t is related that when he came
upon the stage, the band struck up lively
march, and the performance, upon rope
160 feet above the floor beneath, comnen
ced. With steady step, the acrobat
paced the first few yards of his cord, then
with marvellous agility quickened his steps
into round run, when, with crash, hi'
pole, weighing so pounds, snapped in the
centre; the slight rim Of iron attached to
it as support bent double. Blondin fell
with easy skill astride the rope, and, grasp
ing it with his thighs, was safe. The pole
hung in two pieces from the cord, held
together only by the clasp Of iron. While
his attendants hurried to and fro to pro-
cure assistance he alone remained calm,
with courage and GOODNESS which it was
impossible to regard without admiration
He gradually raised the broken pieces
bent double as they were, and with his
shattered and i'll balanced pole he again
stood up and walked the remainder Of
the distance.

Modern Arms.

In glancing over the war history Of the
present century, he must be indeed stole
who does not sigh over the enormous sac
rifce of life which the statistics of the his
torians disclose. In the battles ofthe first
Napoleon. from the conflict at Marengo,
in June, 1900, to the closing fight at
Waterloo, in the same month of 1915, over
eight hundred thousand vigorous men
were expended )" and during the eleven
weeks campaign ofNspoleon III, in Italy,
at least one hundred thousand were killed
aud wounded. Of course the short, Wig
orous campaign Of the nephew was infn~
itely less disastrous than the protracsed
warfare of the Uncle. Rifed cannon and
Minnie rifles, little as they look like it,
are merciful weapons. They rlow the way
to peace. Shut up in his all but impreg
nable she'll at Sebastopol, the Russian long
defed them, but in field contests they are
irresistible. When the entire war history
Of the present century shall come TO be
written, it will probably be found by those
who come after us that all its great battles
were decided by superior arms.

The Origin of Marseilles.

Some thousands of years ago, Greek
vessel, tempest-tossed by the south, took
refuge in the most beautiful harbor in
Provence. The captain, young and smi-
ling as the gods of his OWE country, claim
ed the hospitality of the Gallo chieftain
who reigned along the coast. rs aaa
"Sup with us, replied the long bearded
man; tomorrow | marry my daughter
Marseille, and tonight, after the banquet,
she will make her choice among The can
didates for her hand" The Greek and
bis mariners were present at the feast The
young Gauls declared the ardor of their
attachment by smptying the jugs, swear
ing in their own patois, and striking the
table with their fists. The Greek knew
but little of the language of the country,
but his eyes spoke language which makes
itself known through the earth. When
the light of the torches began to pale be-
fore the light of day, the young Marseille
arose, took cup of generous wine sprink.
led with rsse leaves, and walked slowly
around to the table to make her choice.
She passed disdainfully by the young
chiefs, who turned towards her strokine
their red moustaches, and stopped before
the stranger, who was no longer looking
at her. She touched him on the shoulder
and offered him the cup, turning away her
face, roster than summer sun in sunset
The Gauls trembled with jealous anger,
but the Greek needed them not. He
took the cup in his left hand, resting his
right on the hiIt Of his sword The same
day he married the chiefain's daughter,
and he never returned to the Ionian shores
where his mother awaited him at her spin
ming wheel. The arts of Greece fourished
gloriously around him; and on the spot
on which he built house for his wife is
still called the town of Marseilles.-French

ass Autumn Leaves.

The crowning beauty Of the fall, in the
magnificent dyes of the forests and trees,
has now made its, appearance, and will
reach it's height about the last of the
month, according to the eweather and the
season, and with it comes that charm of
atmosphere, so tender, SO exquisite, OF
which poets have written, but which is
better felt than spoken, even were Milton
to be laureate for the occasion. The splen-
dor of our Autumn leaves is wonder to
eyes unaccustomed to such warmth and
depth Of celoring. They are the models
for ornaments in Paris, and are glazed
and worked up into boudoir. and dressing
room pictures by English ladies, who con-
slider q collection of them valuable pres
ent. Even here, in the country, where
the time is not so much occupied in calls
and dressing, young women of cultivated
tastes arrange thsse leaves in the most
beautiful forms, with some simple chemi
cal preparation, heightening and preserv-
ing their color SO that they make the most
charming wIeaths and coiffures, besides
adorning the parlor walls Of pretty Gotta
ges, which require nothing more preten
tious for their decorations. We must con
fess, although we have seen the results,
to not being acquainted with the method
employed for, although it is nice to see
the effects of such au exercise Of skill and
taste, we never fancied, personally, being
surrounded with glue bottles, and sitting
all day in checked apron, with sticky fin
gers, such as amateurs tell us are essential
to success in the art. Autumn has never
seemed to US the signing, dying, melan
choly season which it appears to some peo-
rle. 1t is no sentimentalist to faint and
grow pale. Die it does, but it is in blaze
of crimson and golden glory in the midst
of its superb strength and vigor, in the
full possession its power-just as the sun
goes down seated on its throne of purple
and gold, and as one would like to leave
this world, with heart throbbing and brain
unclouded by weakness or disease; no
long, weary wasting of the vital energies.
no struggling with dim consciousness OF
existence, but quiet suspension of phys
ical forces, and lifting up of the soul
which will expand into greater activity in
a new life. -r-r--... -.-st -.-s--.

EFFEoTs OF THE WAR ON Business AND
TRADE.-Under the extraordinary stimulus
afforded by the heavy demand for our Ger
eals in Europe, the railroad, forwarding
and shipping interests are reaping a harvest
of prosperity, which more than counter
balances drawbacks incidental to the pros
ecution of a great war. So far as the ship
ping interest is concerned, indeed, we are
not sure that the war ought to be consid-
cred drawback for such vessels as have
not found lucrative employment in the
transportation of grain to Europe, have
been rapidly purchased by tie govern
ment, and usually at prices satisfactory
to sellers. So, too, of the railroads. What
they have lost by moving cotton, tobacco
and other Southern products, has TO nc
inconsiderable extent, been made up in the
transportation of troops, and munitions Of
war. On the whole, therefore, the actual
effects of the rebellion, thus far-en these
two great interests-can scarcely be said
to be as disastrous as most of us anticipa.
ted they would be at the start. va szs-
+ 1t is unqusstionabIy true that important
enterprises and many branches of industry
in various parts of the country, are utterly
paralyzed, or prostrated, by the nationa
troubles-but it is compensating rehec
ton, that two great elements of lnatera
wealth and prosperity, to which we have
alluded, are passing through the storm un,

"Angelus DOmini."

There is custom in Seville, Spain,
which is characteristic Of the ancient piety
Of the place. At sunrise, a large, soft
toned bell is tolled from the tower of the
cathedral three times, summoning all the
inhabitants wherever they are, or however
occupied, to devote few moments to the
performance Of a short prayer in honor of
the Blessed Virgin, called the "Angelus
pomini." At the close Of the evening the
bell tolls again, and to foreigner it is
curious, and not uninteresting to observe
the sudden and fervent attention which is
paid in the streets, within and without
doors, in the Aiemada, on the river, by
every body high and low, the idler and the
laborer, the horseman and the pedestrian,
infancy and age, to this solemn sound. The
crowds in the promenade all suddenly stop,
and each group repeats within it's own
circle the consoling prayer. The lover
suspends his compliments, the mistress
changes her laughing eyes to demure
look, and closes up her fan; the politician
breaks off in his argument, the young men
are abashed in their gay discourse, and
take off their hats; the carriages are
drawn up, aud all worldly business is sua>
pended 4; all amusement is forgotten foz
about three minutes, till the cheerful tink.
ling of lighter bells announce that the ori

Danger of a Revolution in France.


The Paris correspondent of the New
York World, writing under date of Octo-
Der IL, says: e.- --... s-.-.--..- Cd.
within the past ten days we have been
nearer to a revolution in Paris than at
any time since the coup d etat, and the
cause of it has been the same as one OF
the great exciting causes Of the first French
revolution-the high price Of bread. The
French government, III its paternal care
of its subjects, has not neglected to pro-
vide against the extortionate demands OF
the sellers Of the staff of life, who, if left
to themselves, might at any time take ad-
vantage of the condition Of the grain mar
ket to raise the price of bread to such a
standard as to place it almost beyond the
reach of the working classes, and the gov
ernment we'll understand, 100, that as long
as the laboring population of Paris have
plenty Of work and plenty of bread, they
will not trouble themselves about politics,
and do nothing to impede the revolutions
of the great governing machine. Since
the foundation Of the Empire, in order to
regulate the price of bread, and keep it
in all the fluctuations of the grain market
at something like standard rate, Caisse
de Bouzangerie was established, attached
to the perfectures of the different depart
ments Of France. Once every two weeks
placard, posted all over Paris, and par
ticularly in the shops of the bakers, sign
ed by the Prefect, announces the price at
which bread of the first and second quail :
tiles shall be sold for the fortnight then
ensuing. The bakers themselves are ap-
pointed by the government, and only a
certain number are allowed, in the ratio
of one to every eighteen hundred inhabi>
tants, and regular fixed percentage of
profit only is allowed them.
