A DETERMINED ACT.

A poor fellow the other day, in the
South Of France. was making up fagots,
or bundles Of frewood, in copse near
his cottage. His name is Victor FIet.-
While pulling a twig from the fagot he
felt himself sharply bitten in the finger,
and saw an asp making his escape at the
moment. The man pursued the snake
and killed it, and then it flashed across
bis mind that the bite he had received
was poisonous and would quickly end
his days. So he took resolution and
determined to get rid of the first finger
of his right hand, which was the part af-
fected. lie placed his finger on enc of
sa6ots, or wooden shoes, and opening his
knife he arranged the blade carefully
across the first joint, fixing it with two
or three chips Of wood in its position
Then making a hammer with the ether
sa5ot, he struck it sharply wife his ltit
hand on the back Of the blade, aud clean
ly severed the joint. Binding up the
finger, The young fellow went quickly
home, and laid upon The table, before his
astonished family. the dead asp and the
joint of his inger.-PIrj5 paper

TOO SHARP.

An amusing incident Is told of a woman
in England, whose husband, a wealthy
mlu, disI sullenly, without leaving
any will. The widow, desirous Of secur-
ing the whole Of the property, concealed
her husbands death, and persuaded
poor shoemaker to take his place while a
viii could be made. Accordingly he was
closely muifled in bed, as if very sick,
ana lawyer was called in to write the
will The shoemaker, in a feeble voice,
5equeathed half of all the property to
the widow. "What shall be done with
the remainder 2" asked the lawyer
"The remainder" replied he, 81 give
and bequeath to the poor little shoemaker
across the street, who has always been
good neishbor and deserving man :"
thus securing rich bequest for himself.
The widow was thunderstruck with the
mans audaeious cunning, but did not dare
expose the fraud, and SO two rogues shar-
ed the estate.

BREACH 1F PROMISE.

\ widow of forty three summers, and
the mother of four blooming childron,
two of whom are married, lately sued a
gay deceiyer for breach of promise. The
''decelver" is an old man Of seventy-six,
the father Of nine children, and the pos
sessor Of two farms. The parties live in
Warren county, Ohio. This aged lover
gave the fat and forty, if not fair, widow,
several rides in his buggy, to church and
ether places, and told lady that lie
might conclude to marry some day, and if
he did, he thought she would be the wo-
man. Upon this hint she acted; pur-
chasing wedding dress and consulted a
few particular female friends in regard to
the wedding cake, At this stage, how
ever, the cd man crawfshed-dociincd to
fulfill the ongagement-aatly denied that
he ever intended to marry the lady. To
heal her lacerated feelings she brought

stand on end. When the shoemaker

shoemaker has become so ashamed, he
has not since the occurrence dared to
show his face in the street.-Paris Letter.

power which could prevent him, namely:
the presence and strength Of loyal man

THE LAST INTERVIEW.
BY MRS. LYDIA a. WINDSOR.


The circumstances | am about to relate
occurred fifty years ago, but rises before
me as freshly and vividly as then. Most
of those who knew of it, and she who
was the most concerned about it, are now
in their silent graves but the descend,
ants Of some may recognize the stcry
which startled our small circle SO long
ago.
When, after the peace of 1911 was con
cluded, the Continent vas once more open
ed, every one that remembers it, knows
how gladly the English ay4iled them
selves of it to leave their island home,
and seek some health. other pleasures, in
the complete change of scene and life
Ny husband and | shared tie almost uni
versal "lereur" and went to France
There, however, our wanderings ceased
for a time, for when we arrived at the
picturesque old town of D. we we're
agreeably surprised to fud some of our
old friends there Soon after, others ar
rived, aad we yielded to their wishes that
we should remain.
Ia those days the English drew closely
to each other. Now, when abroad YOU
must be careful Of making acquaintance.
till you know your compatriOts motives
for absenting himself from his native
land. Our little coterie became intimate
friends.
Our house was in a central situation as
regarded those Of our friends; though it
was in the town, it had small garden be-
fore it, and gravelled path led to tie
hail door.
Ny husband was fond Of society; l am
still, must own, though too old to enter
into its spirit as formerly. Our hoase was
always open to our friends, but we were
especially glad to see them of an evening :;
then music and the whist-table vhiled
away the hours till haif-past nine, when
the supper-tray appeared, and at ten
O'Clock our last guest departed. Those
were primitive times. OF all our ac
quaintancos, the person | was the most
drawn to was Mrs Norris, very pretty
young woman, llght-hearted, and always
cheerful. ali the most severe critic would
blame her for, was perhaps an extreme
love Of amusement She was my con-
slant guest. Her husband was in the
army, and, at the time | speak of, was
quartered in Ireland Mrs. Norris vas
anxious to give her four children a better
education than their limited means could
procure in England, Captain Norris had
only just left D to join his regiment,
and had expressed his wish would ''look
after" his wife and assist her with advice,
or in any way that might be necessary.
OF all the Norris children, Louisa was
her fathers favorite, but her mother al
ways disliked her, apparently, if one can
use the word dislike to describe moth
crs harshness to her child. [ used to
think Hrs, Norris was severe to Louisa

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
BY j. C. MARTIN.

BYJ c. MARTIN.
No Union men are half SO irue,
Unswerying firm and hearty,
As those at present answering to
The Democratic party.
For every i'll they have a cure,
For every wrong a righiing,
They're willing to do anything,
Except-except tie lighting.
Fighting they say was not the way
Or dealing with secession,
The remedy for Rebels is
Unlimited concession.
They'd give the traitor all they want,
Acknowledge them the masters,
And thus the glorious Union save,
Avoiding ali disasters.
Is this not cheaper then than war?
Honor. These peace men scout II;
'Tis bat shade, breath, name,
They do not care about it .
They are ready to kneel down and beg
And wear masters collar, =
If ihey are but allowed to live,
And breath and make dollar!
They would tear down the country dag
And sell it for shilling,
Ye traitors proud just naiac your terms
The Democrats are willing,
Take two Of earth's deicsted names
'Isoariot' and "Iago,"
And trembling coward, and You hav
The conclave of Chicago.

CoaHITTED. William R. Cooper, who WAS ar
rested on Thursday last, in Philadelphia, charged
with swindling tho Government Of funds to the
amount Of some sixty thousand dollars, was, after
e hearing before tho United States Commissioner,
on Saturday last, committed for trial. One Of the
Philadelphia papers gives tho following brief his
tory OF his career. It says:
Some three years ago there WAS employed, as
salesman, by Messrs Horstman Bros, in this
city, young man named William Ringgold
Cooper; He stayed there for somo monthe, when
at last his honesty suspected: at length it was
found to be moro than Questionable. He was
peromptorily discharged; but through mercy, that
perhaps was injud,ciousy exercised, he was told
to 60 and ain no moro, and no prosecution was
made against him. Cooper is rather short in
stature. he is Of pleasant countenance, wears no
beard, and dresses with decided taste. After
leaving the Messrs. Horstman, he entered the
navy In some subordinate capacity; and how he
spent his time after his discharge he does not
choose to state. But this he did-he raised the
wind to the tune of $50, 600, and married Miss
Julia Defrees, niece Of Mr.. Defrees, the Public
Printer at Washington. one of the wealthiost and
most respectable gentlemen at the National
CAPITAL"

The IRoN-CIAD RAM TAUREAu.-This extraor-
dinary structure, designed both as a ram and
ron.clad battery, has just been completed by the
Fronch Government, and now lies in Toulon har-
Dor. We clip from Frank Leslie the following
description of her:
The Taureau is an odd-Iooking ship, resem-
bling q whale in the shape of the upper part Of
its hull, with @ swelling convexity above the
water. The PROV is made OF bronze, weighs
eleven tons, and projects forty feet beneath tho
water. The ship carries but ono gun, mounted
in the turret at the bow. This turret descends to
the heel and is designed to furnish o stronghold
for the crew during an engagement. The sides Of
tho hull are iron-cad only for three feet above
the water line, amdships and abaft, but the bow
and turret are protected by armor five inches
thick. The vessel has two engines, oach of two
hundred aud tifty-holse p 'wer, and is ono hun
drod and nlnety-scven feot long, by about forty
eight feet wide. Tho Taureau has been con-
structed in tho best manner, and is expected to
prove a formidable Antagonist, and acting both as
battery and ram, possesses double ad-
vantage.
