ENTERPRISE OF A FRENCH REPORTER.
One day when the Place dc Pantheon was
the scene of a riot, Dongelot installed him
self in the midst of shower of stones and
other missiles, pen in hand to note the incl
dents, as a faithful reporter. Amid the yells
and groans of combatants, and the clattcr of
cavalry over the hard pavement into the
ranks of the seditious. a friend cspying the
indeiatigable reporter, hailed him:
Man! are you mad?' he shrieked; "run
from there, or you will be killed.
Dongelot, without needing his advice, re-
tanned his position, watch in one hand and
pen in the other, recording. minute by min
ute, the aspect of the conflict.
do you hear mc?H cried his friend again,
''it is certain death to remain there"
"IIcaven will guard me. But since you
are going, oblige Ve by handing those notes
TO my journal Ybu will tell them that
remain on the spot TO record the end of the
affair.""
One hour after, the adventurous Journal
ist was struck by a stray ball. He was con-
veyed to house, and n surgeon hastencd TO
his relief.
Are you wounded?"
Yes" replied Dongelot sand seriously;
for | am not able to write
you positively must not think of writ
ing" said the doctor, brusquely; sit will ex-
cite you too much. You must remain qui-
ct"
"That is not the most important thing at
present" rejoined the reporter, gasping for
breath. Each one to his task; mine is to
chronicle this affair Give me your assis-
tance for one moment. Write for me at the
bottom of the page this post scriptum:
"Three O'Clock and Twenty Minutes p.
M.-After discharge of musketry by the
soldiers, there was found among the ranks
of the people three wounded and one dead"
'IIow, one dead?1 demanded the surgeon,
''who then, is dead?"
~" replied Dongelot, and expired.

TIE METEORs.-As the meteorc show
after the brilliant style of 1888, which was
to come Off about the 18th or 18th of this
month, was failure, it may be well enough
to console ourselves with an anccdOte of the
last one:
On that memorable night, in November,
1888, old Peyton Roberts, who intended
making an early start to his work, got up
in the midst of the display. On going to
the door he saw, with amazement, the sky
lit up with the falling meteors, and he con-
cludcd at once the world was on fire, and
the day of judgment had come. He stood
for moment gazing in speechless terror at
the scene, and then with yell of horror
sprang out of the door into the yard, right
into the midst of the falling stars, and there,
in his efforts to dodge them, he commenced
series of ground tumbling that would have
done honor to a rope dancer. His wife, be-
ing awakened in the meantime, and seeing
Peyton jumping and skipping about the
yard, bawled out to know what in the name
of common sense he was doin out thar,
dancin' round without his clothes on" But
Peyton heard not. The judgment, and long
black accounts he would have to settle, made
him needless of all terrestrial things, and his
wife, by this time becoming alarmed at his
behavior, sprang out Of bed, and running to
the door, shrieked out, at the top of her
lungs;
"Peyton, / say, Peyton, what do You
mean jumpin' about thar? Come and put
your trOwsers on
"Trowscrs what the h-ll's the use of
trowsers when the worlds on lire?"

there will be any serious opposition and l
certainly do not see why the constitution
should not leave the matter optional with
every woman"
James Freeman Clarkc's testimony is
borne thus -
"Many persons no doubt imagine that
some fatal overturn of all established things
would result from woman's voting :. but if
all women over 21, able to read and write,
wero to be allowed to vote Tomorrow, the
change would scarcely attract attention, and
in year or two people would forget they
had not always voted. The difference would
only finally appear in the whole subject of
politics being lifted to higher plane. 1t is
not good for man to be alone at the polls.
That which printing, art and religion have
done in soltening manners and eXpclling fe-
rocity from human affairs, would be contin-
ued by putting the mind and heart of wo-
man in relationship with the State.'

diate supervision of Mrs. M. J. MoETErTH--a lady

The FUGAcIoUs ROYALTIES
The Berlin correspondent Of the
London Times remarks:
The sudden exit of the three
Royalties is little regretted by the
people hitherto acknowledging their
authority. All three have palpably
set aside the Constitutions they had
vowed to observe. The King of
Hanover, besides indulging in this
common sin of continental sovereigns,
has appropriated the public domains
to his own private use. The King
Of Saxony and his favorite, Beust,
have locked up for many years, with
felon's chains on their wrists and
ankles, number of educated men
implicated in the revolutionary move
ment of 1S4S.
The Elector of Cassel fed to
Frankfort. His trusty ministers kept
sharp eye on him previous to his
departure, as it was considered prob
able he might attempt to walk off
with some Of the public moneys, or
at least pocket the royal insignia.
The crying immortality of the
family life of this royal old reprobate,
made him the horror and abomins-
ton of all Germany. His idea of
governing was to extort from his un-
fortunate subjects the wherewithal to
indulge his depraved tastes. His
favorite pastine was beating his
wife and servants. Sometimes, how
ever, he only came off second best.
The squirting, stammering, old ras-
cal has frequently had rough-and-
tumble encounters with his subjects
in the very streets of Cassel and
Frankfort.
Never has Europe seen such q
commotion among her "thrones,
Nominations, princedoms, virtues,
powers" as at the present time.
King John, of Saxony, George, of
Hanover, and the Elector of Hesse
Cassel have skedaddled, and gone to
swell the ranks Of European mon
archs out of place. No doubt they
will be received with open arms by
Francis IL, of Naples, Otho l., Of
Greece, and the ex-rulers of Tuscany,
Parmy, Modena, etc.
If things go on in this way, Mr..
Peabody will have to endow an
asylum for INDECENT royalty. Quite
a number of ex-kings and queens,
princes and princesses are loafng
around without any visible means Of
support; most of the poor creatures
are perfectly helpless and fit for
nothing. .,a
