AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY are likely to become
completely united by means of the Church.
We learn by the cable that bishops of both
countries have fastened to Rome to vote
against the dogma of infallibility. A common
danger may thus have its uses in proving to the
world how far the consideration of the spiritu-
alties really scars above the range Of debate of
mere vulgar, worldly politics.

thought.
But there is still one possibility in the career
of this great iniquity-the Arcade Railway.
It has yet to pass an ordeal that there is excel
lent reason to regard as more severe than all
others. 1t must go through the Governors
hands; and it is still to be said that Governor
Hoffman will be alone responsible for the con-
sequences if this bill becomes law. 1t
can receive validity only from his signature.
1t is dead scrap of worthless paper now, and
his hand put to it may give it the life and
power and sanction of legal decree; but
that hand withheld, it will remain dead HARM
less and contemplate scrap of paper for
ever. At this moment and with regard
to this bill Governor Hoffman is the
State. The legislators who passed the bill
with peculiar regard to their ''honor," that
does not exist among honest men, but is said
to flourish among those who have confused
views of ownership in property, have gone
home. They have done what they agreed to
do, but they cannot return to override veto.
The bill is before the Governor in its naked
hhoi JuuSihcut, hc Will OO
wise to weigh well all its conditions He has
Just done well in vetoing group of bills
passed to give away upward Of four million
dollars-to take that large sum out Of the
pockets of the people and put it into the pock
cts of few railroad men, and the best ground
of his veto was his opposition to the aggrandise-
ment of railroad corporations at the expense
Of the public. Let him remember, then, that
this Arcade bill is the same in principle
simply one point in the grand scheme of the
railroad men to divide the country among
themselves and disregard and override every
| thing opposed to their interest Considering
this and his direct responsibility before the
people, the Governor cannot put to this Ar
cade Railway bill the name that will make it
q law.

ga SLIGHT PLEASANTLY. War has its
jokes and merriment, but the comedies OF
war are often more dreadful than the trag-
edles Of peace. Frederick in his works re-
cords the following incident, which he
narrates rs ''slight pleasantly, to relieve
the readers mind
The Prussians had detached post at
Smirzitz. The little garrison there was
much harassed by lurking bands Of Ans
TRANS. who shot their sen,l les, cut off their
supplies, and rendered it almost certain
death to any one who ventured to emerge
from the ramparts. Some inventive genius
among the Prussians constructed straw
man, very like life, rer ,senting sentinel
with his shouldered lusket. BY i series
OF ropes this effigy was made to move from
right 10 left, as if walking his beat. A
well-armed band of Prussians then hid in
thicket ne nr by.
Ere long company of Austrian scouts
approached. From q distance they eyed
the sentinel, moving to and fro as he
guarded his post 4 sharpshooter crept
near, and taking deliberate aim at his SUP
posed victim, fred. A twitch upon the
rope caused the image to fail flat. The
whole band of Aust ians, with a shout,
rushed to the spot. The Prussians from
their ambuscade, opened upon them a
| deadly fire of bullets. Then, as the ground
was covered with the n Inflated and the
dead the Prussians, eau. 1g the welkin to
ring with their peals of laughter, rushed
with fixed bayonets upon their entrapped
foes. Not single Austrian had escaped
being struck by bullet. Those who were
not killed outright were wounded, and
were taken captives. This is one OF the
slight pleasantries of war.-From Fred
ick the Great, in Harper's Magazine for
October

sister and cousin.
After an eager glance at Miss Catherwood, The
artist &ared ieok of surprise at the young girl in
wlste, Just behind her. 1t only then occurred to
hiaa that Miss Ashleigh's name Ettetda.
He put away he singular feeling which arose at
this coincidence, and at breakfast the life OF
the party All that day he was gay. brilliant vya

Camilla's most favorite suitor-a fop of the first
water, rich, arstocratic and egotistical-who drove
out from the city in the morning, and idled away
the long, bright summer day ct the Poplars, could
disconcort him. He had despised the dandy, and
now he felt that he might yet hope to rival him.
Camilla. as proud as she was coGuettish, knew
very well that her brothers artistfriend worship
ed her with passion before which the languid
admiration of her other admirer was like star to
the sun; and that day che lirted with both most
cunningly; but for once Oliver was beyond her
comprehension. She could neither mortfy nor
depress him. He was even good-natured to Mr.
Lytton. His dark eyes glttered with the consious.
ness Of secret power.
And yet he troubled with certain fear.
All day 1t had been growing upon him that there
was resemblance between TIE Ethelda OF the
miniature and the living Ethelda, who moved before
him, golden-hatred and bue-eyed the quiet, almost
sad, companion of her naughty and brilliant cousin.
At dinner that evening he suddenly asked Mr..
Catherwood if Ethelda was family name. In
answer he was told the following brief story:

Modern Toys.
lFrom. the Technoloeist.l J

Few persons have any idea of the amount
of capital employed IN the manufacture of
toys, and of the scientific ability that is
devoted to their production. 1t is true
that we have been told over and over again
of the fortunes thet have been realized
from some cheap and successful toy, such
as the return ball But these cases are in
general, regarded as exceptional; perhaps,
In Inc lsu. ), apocryphal. But when we
consider the s. 'ady and heavy trade that
is carried OF IN what may be called the
staple a tic'es of toy trade, we must see at
once that toys form an important feature
in the manufa curing industry of the
world. Even such minute ard subordinate
depa ments as tia manufacturing of dolls
t yes furnish business for wealthy firms, and
give employment to hundre u.s. But it is
not all from its mere commercial impor-
tance that this subject claim OF attention.
Those who have read the delioLtful little
W, < by Il q late Dr. Paris, "Ph l>sophy in
ST. ,rt Maoa Science in Earnest work
which has been extensively t sod by more
recent compilers without a wol ] of acknowl
edgment- must have been struck with the 9. =
tsntto which scientific principles enter into
Ii e construction OF even our ordinary toys.
The kite, the spinning-top, the common
leather-suck or and others form the most
liking and Iucrid examples of many ct
g fundam ltal prir ,iples of science and
have been used for purp' es of instruction
by the best teachers, both in their lectures
and their writings. No man ever succeed
ed more perfectly in making science popu-
lar and simple, both with old and Yong,
than the late DIR. Faraday, and those who
have read his published lectures will
remember that no man ever used common
toys more freely as illustrations. OF
late years, the tendency has
been to embody the highest
mechanical and scientific kno wledgein the
construction Of toys. Chemistry has been
laid under contribution for serpents' eggs,
magic photographs. magic ferns, and other
strange devices, while mechanics have g.
en- Us various automatons and amusing OBJ.
iec ). The influence OF this tendency upon
the minds of the youth of the p1t sent day
can hardly fail to be beneficial The little
girl may not tear the dress of her doll for
the purpose of studying its mechanism,
but when it is worn ont her brother may
possibly take it up and follow out it's inte-
rlor arrangements, and in any case it i'm
presses upon both true sense of the capa-
bilities Of mechanical science.

FROST CRYSTALS Upon DRIED Grass
Several persons have by this time laid up
to put into bouquets the beautiful grasses
which they gathered in the autumn and
summer of the present year. In order to
add variety and some pleasing effects to
portions of such grasses, they may be COW
cred with imitation trost-erystaIs, some
white, others blue, green and amber. To
crystalize grass white, steep in solution
of one pint of hot water containing one
pound of alumni. AS it becomes cold crys-
tails will adhere to the grass, which viii in
crease in size If left for day or more; but
small crystals look the best; and in order
to keep them SO, the grass should be often
moved and turned about. When taken out
of the solution and dried in the air, they
are fit for mounting with the other grasses,
and greatly add to their beauty. For the
blue-green crystals use sulphate OF copper,
and for amber crystals use ehromate of
potash instead of alumni. Feathers may
also be crystalized in the SAME way. Art
and taste will arrange them into forms of
beauty. Septimats PieSse.

IMPROVING MEADows.-L. T. p, Salina,
Kansas. How can I increase the quantity
of grass on my moving land 1t is wild
prairie, was once good blue joint; now it IS
light and thin, with spaces of four inches
to four feet in diameter with nothing grow
ing thereon. This has doubtless been
caused by continual moving and burning,
and oft times is burnt in the fall. Can I
with good effect SOW On timothy, red clover
or blue grass? Should the seed be sowed
separate or mixed? This fall or next
spring? Would it do good to harrow, Or
not?
If blue Joint is cut before the seeds are
ripe enough to fall it will very soon run
out on any soil. 1t is fair to presume, if
