JOKING with people in authority is not always
an entirely safe amusement, as an officer in the
English army not long since found out. He had
been sent on a visit of inspection to some home
stations, aud in his statement of disbursements
included the item porter, 3d." which was struck
out by the War officer. He explained that the
charge was for carrying his luggage under circum-
stances where he would otherwise have had to
pay Is. Cd. for a cab. To this explanation came
reply that in this case the claim would be al
lowed, but that it should have been put for por-
terage" and not porter" The officer answered
that he would obey orders, although be could find
no authority for such a word as porterage and in
quired in addition If in future he should use the
term cab (blage when he meant cab" His
wit was rewarded with a severe reprimand, which
was worse luck than he deserved. A similar
story is told of that inveterate wag John Phoenix,
who as most Of our readers know, was Lieut..
Derby, of the Typographical Engineers He was
directed by an order from the War Department
to survey the Tombigbee river and see how far it
ran up. He reported promptly that survey for
that purpose would put the Government to un-
necessary expense, as it was a weIl.known fact
that the Tombigbee river ran down His joke
very nearly cost him his position.

WOMEN WoRKERs.-Miss Louise NJ. Alcott.
writing from Brittany. says that before her first
week was over she ceased to be surprised at any
demonstration of feminine strength, skill or in
dependence, for everywhere the women took the
lead. They not only kept house, reared children,
and knit every imaginable garment the human
frame can wear, but kept the shops. titled the
gardens, held the markets, cleaned the streets.
and bought and sold cattle, leaving the men free
TO enjoy the only pursuits they seemed inclined
to follow-breaking horses, mending roads, and
getting drunk. The markets seemed entirely in
the hands Of the women, and lively scenes they
presented to our unaccustomed eyes, especially
the pigmarket, held every week in the square
before our house. At dawn the squealing begun,
and was kept up until sunset. Tie carts came
in from all the neghboring hamlets, with tubs
full of infant pigs, over which the women watched
with maternal care till they were safely de-
posted among the rows Of tubs that stood
along the walk facing Anne of Bretaignes grey
old tower, and the pleasant promenade which
was once the .foSse about the city walls Here
madam would seat herself, and knit briskly till a
purchaser applied when she would drop her work,
dive among the pink innocents, and hold one up
by its unhappy leg undisturbed by its doleful
cries, while she settled its price with blue
gowned, white-capped neighbor as sharp-witted
and shriIl-tongued as herself If the bargain VISA
struck, they slapped their hands together in
peculiar way, and the new owner clapped her
purchase into a meal-bag, slung it over her
shoulder, and departed with her squirming,
squealing treasure, as calmly as Boston lady
with satchel full of ribbons and gloves.

TIE offer of membership in the Turkish Order
Of Othman by the Sultan to the Grand Duke
Nicholas, aud its acceptance by the latter, are
significant indications Of the abandonment, or
pretended abandonment, by Russia Of the policy
Of aggression in the domains Of the Porte. For
more than century and half the relations be-
tween the Cabinets Of St. Petersburg and Con-
siantinOple bad been invariably unfnendly, and
now that the doctrine Of the balance Of power is
repudiated BY Great Britain and France, Russia
might reasonably hope to seize several Of the
larger semi-independent Pnncipnllties near the
Black Sea at no distant time; but the Gar
seems to think that his Empire can gain more by
peace, for the present at least, than by any war
In Europe, and so he declares himself friend of
the Sultan, and permits the heir apparent to wear
9 MohamHedan decoration.

The most novel strike on record is that Of the
clergymen of Wilmington, Delaware. These
gentlemen have formed themselves into Funeral
Trades-Uniou, and adopted the following resolu-
sion: That only the hour for the beginning of
the funeral service be published, and that prompt
ness on the part of all is very desirable; that
carriage be sent for, and placed at the service of
the minister; that the position of the minister,
during the funeral service, be left to his own dis
erection that the selection Of the Lords day for
funerals be discouraged"

SIR JAMES ALDERsoN, discussing in the British
Medical Journal, the cause and amelioration of
sea-sickness, arrives at the conclusion that deep
inspiration, at the moment when the ship is de-
scending will tend to relieve the distress. That's
all very well, remarks an exchange, but it is at
that very moment that the average patient is en-
gagged in violent expiration 1t is just when the
ship is going down that all which is within a fell
low is busy coming up.

great man OF science, but WAS put in the place
because of his supreme skill and tact. At the
conclusion of the meeting, he asked who the
young man was, and was told it WAS
SIR JOHN LUBBOCK.
He is Director Of the Bank Of England, and
Member Of Parliament, representing the Bunk
Of England. and consequently compelled to
bear large share in it's most exactiug and i'm
porta1t business; manages q large mercantile
business on his own account and has already
written several learned and laborious works.
There is no city in America where a man could
do such an amount and variety Of work.
In conclusion, the Colonel said he remained
clear in the conviction that certain traditions
md theories
ARE INHERITED 70 Us,
and among these that Of preserving form as IN
art in literature. There is no hesitation to pay
proper tribute to what Americans have accom-
plished in literature. It is not pretended that
England has, or has had lately, the peers Of
Emerson aud Hawthorne in their own walks.
May not feel glow Of pride when we have
such tributes to our American art; when, for in
stance, it is known that a man like Tyndall has
committed to memory all the poems of Emer-
son?
