denly checked, went down on his launch
es, and was kept there by the lady until
the driver came up and took care OF his
team. The lady quietly walked OF, as
though nothing unusual had occurred.
In telegraph Office in the city OF
New York there are fifteen young ladies
engaged in the duties of sending and re-
ceiving messages On one day lately, ten
of these young ladies, it is reported, sent
and received 3,135 messages between s
the afternoon, or an average OF 314 mes
sages each. The work, it is stated, was
done well, neatly, correctly and to their
very great credit. The daily number OF
messages sent by this corps of ladies aver
ages 1890.
A PARTY recently went out from Leav-
enworth, Kansas, a few miles for pleas
ant picnic. Before starting they collected
SIS, which they gave to one of the ladies
to expend in goodies for the occasion.
She turned it over to a gentleman of the
party, who made the following purchases
Thirty bottles of whisky, at 50 per bottle,
$50; chickens and bread, So; cigars, $40.
The scene on the ground at lunch time
beggars description. Between the ladies
and gentlemen the unlucky commissary
had hard time of it.
THE Boston Adoertiser publishes the
following valuable hint: "It has been
found by the French in their military ex
perience in Algeria that the liability to
sun-stroke is much diminished, if not
done away with, by wearing nothing tight
around the neck or throat. Hence their
military uniforms are made without col
lars and the throat and neck are entirely
bare. The philosophy of it is that the
circulation of blood to the head is thus en-
tirely unimpeded Attention to this may
be of service in these days Of extreme hot
weather"
A FEW weeks since man mounted
upon skeleton of horse, met a gentle
man who was riding superb animal,
upon one of the bridges in Paris which
cross the Seine. The gentleman laughed
at the poor beast, when the rider offered
| to bet 1000 francs that he could not do
with his horse what he could do with his
poor beast. The bet was accepted. The
poor man lifted his horse upon the parapet
| and showed him into the river.
julius FAvRE has unearthed q rich
document, which is certain to produce a
great commotion in Bonapartist circles.
It is petition drawn up in 1916, and
praying King Louis Philippe to have
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte court-mar-
tailed and shot as an enemy to the peace
and tranquility of France. Among the
signers of this interesting document are
one of the Emperor's present Ministers
one of his ex-Ministers, half dozen ultrs
Bonapartistic members of the Corps Legis
latif, and Lieutenant Colonel (now Mar
shaD Canrobert.
1T is a curious fact, that while seasons O.
| restitution and distress tend to lower the
number of births and marriages in com
munity, they also lower the death rate
| The returns of the British Registrar Gen
eral for the last quarter of 1867 shows, thai
there were fewer births by 2,400 than il
the corresponding quarter of 1866, while
the deaths were 4,05S more in 1866, wher
there was no distress. The same statistics
hold good of marriages And this is con
frmatory of facts observed, but hardly
credited, during the famine produced by
scarcity of cotton and employment il
England, showing that a period of priva
ton is less fatal to life than a period o.
indulgence. Dieting seems to be good fol-
masses as well as individuals.
