A RnlNIsCRScE OF THE SIEGE OF
PARIs.-A French correspondent writes
$50 many balloons came out Of Paris
during the siege that those who received
their letters by this means began at last
to look upon tho aeronaut MS n very safe
courier, and on his aerial trip as ono OF
pleasure rather than Of peril. Among
the balloons which escaped over Theron
girtllO Of Teutons was tho Jacquart. It
WIS entrusted to the care OF sailor
named Leprincc, Tearing through spice
before gRlc OF wind, the gallant young
tar and his now kind Of craft were sight.

him over the Atlantic. On tho way he
must have met with an atmospheric
current which drove him eastward, for
there have now been found In the Sicily
Islands the dispatches carried by the
Jacquart. AS the SdcS have not been
picked up in one and the same place, II
is supposed that when Leprince saw this
group Of islands he gradually got rid Of
his dispatches, casting them overheard
whenever he saw land beneath him.
This must, Of courso, have considerably
lightened, the balloon, and contaminated
his own destruction by imparting to 1t

A New P1AN-In Liverpool they
lately adopted the plan Of publishing
the names OF drunkards in the news
papers, SO rs to shame them, II possible,
out Of their vicious habits. Tho expert
ment seemed to answer very well for q
time, but. such is the peryersity Of
human nature, people got accustomed to
the inaiction, and, so far from having
any dread OF exposure, actually seemed
to take q pride in the notoricty thus
obtained. In fact many were to DO
found far moro ready to give their
names and histories than tho magis'
trates were to hear them.

VARIETIES IN FAslnoSs.-The small
novelties Of the season begin to appear.
New sets Of collars and cuffs retain the
standing English collar with points meet
ing and broken over ut the throat, and
also the ilaring cuff, but are fastened by
linen straps on which is slide OF jet or
gold. The newest belt ribbons are OF
black velvet elastic velvet, fastened BY
largo buckles Of yellow gilt TINT look
like Etrnscan gold. Russia leather
belts, both red and black, with gilt silver
buckles, are much worn. An excess Of
the chatelaine tTinketry already describ.
cd is tho caprice Of the moment. There is
a revived fancy for jet jewclry. 1t is
brought out in some unique patterns ;
but the Marguerite design. though not
new, seems to be most in favor. Jet Of
nil kinds, whether for dress trimming or
iewelry, is IN moro massive and substan-
tial shape than formerly. Fringed
neckcrclllefs OF colorcd India silk are
worn in tho street with black costumes.
These were introduced some time ago,
but have only become popular with the
first cool days, aud are about to super
sedc black laco scarfs. Tho only Shade
of rcd now fashionably worn is the dull,
dark shade called Russia leather red.
Dog.collars OF black velvet, that is, an
inch.wide band with locket in front
and tied in bow behind, arc worn with
linen collars by young Indies. Sailor
suits OF blue twillCd flannel are worn by
little girls on cool days. They have the
blouse shirt shcll as boys wear, and II
single skirt. White military braid is the
trimming.

Ngw METHOD OF STORING GRAM
A plan has been submitted to the French
academy for storing wheat in portable
sheet iron granaries, in which n vacuum
is maintained equal to at least from three
to four inches OF mercury, this being
found sufficient to destroy all insect life
although more perfect vacuum is pre-.
ferred), and TO insure the evaporation Of
any moisture in tho grim. The nppar-
atus is Of cylindrical form, placed yerti.
cally with convex top and bottom. The
top is provided with m opening through
which the inlet Of grain Is led, with n
waive pipo through which tho air is ex-
lausted, and with a guOge by which the
degree OF exhaustion is indicated. The
grain is removed through IN opening in
the bottom. In M experiment, where
living insects wero introduced in large
quantities with the grain, 1t was found
that they wcrc all killed before doing
mischief, and ut tho end Of six months
the wheat was found to be in rs fine con-
dition MS ut the outset.-M Y DMlg

The old Germans showed keen sense
Of humor even in the serious work OF
Furnishing offenses, five may believe q
book lately published in Berlin:
The author describes the punish.
ments which were inflicted, in various
parts OF Germany, in some cases up to a
very recent period, with the object oil
hunliliating the culprit, and exposing
him to public ridicule. Acommon pun
ishment was that Of going in procession
through the streets Of town or village,
in q dress covered with images OF swords
whips, rods, and other instruments OF
corporal chastisement. In Hesse, women
who had beaten their husbands were
mnde to ride backwards on q donkey,
holding his tail, on which occasions the
animal was led through the streets by
the husband. This custom existed in
Darmstadt up to the middle Of the sew.
entoenth century, and was so common
that n donkey was kept always ready for
the purpose in the capital and the neigh
boring Villages. II the woman struck
her husband in such a manner that he
could not ward of the blow, the donkey
was led by the man who had charge Of
him: II not, then by the husband him.
self. At ST. Goar,a miller was allowed
u certain quantity OF wood from the for
est belonging the town, in return for
which he was bound to supply donkey
to tho municipality whenever required
for the chastisement Of n scolding wife.
Another very old custom WINS that OF
Furnishing n henpecked husband by re-
moving the roof Of his house, on tho
ground that man who allows his wife
TO rule ut home does not deserve any
protection against wind and weather.
If two women fought in public, they
were each put in a sort OF closed sentry
box which only left their heads exposed
and then posted opposite to each other
in tho market place, where they
remained for nm hour, face to face, but
unable to use their hands or feet. A
common punishment for scolding women
was the "shameful stone" which was
hung round their necks. This stone
WIS usually in tho shape of bottle, AT
Hamburg, libelers and slanderers were
compelled to stand on q block, and strike
themselves three times on tho mouth as
a sign OF repentance. This custom still
existed thirty or forty years ago. In
some towns the shameful stonon was in
the shape OF Loaf, whence the German
saying, 81 heavy bit OF bread" Gin
VchWGe' Jissm LrOd). At Lubbock 1t was
in the shape OF m oval dish; and in other
places in that OF n woman putting out
her tongue. Such stones were usually
very heavy; according to the law Of
Dortmund md Halberstadt (134S) they
were 10 weigh n hundred.weieht. Those
who were wealthy, could purchase OK.

now content with a single newspaper The

Coleman T. Robinson, Wall street
broker, having amasseda a splendid for
tune and bought palace at Brewster
station, Westchester county, fell in
love wiiha child, daughter of Dir. Lit
tie, of Carmel, and proposed mar
rage, but was rejected. He pressed
his suit upon the ambitious father, and
was promised the paternal consent if
he would will the bulk of his fortune
to the child. Afterward Robinson
took duplicate OF his real will to Lit
ties house and destroyed it. Next
day he went on spree, was thrown
from his carriage and soon after lay
on his death-bed. He sent for the
child to nurse him, but her father
would not consent except on condi.
ton of marriage. To this Robinson
agreed, and the ceremony was per-
formed. Within twenty four hours ne
died. After the funeral the Littles
installed themselves in the Robinson
mansion, but soon relatives appear
ed with the real will and ousted the
family, giving the chIld-widow only
the piano, which her husband OF day
had given her on his death bed. a dis
pute was kept up until settlement
was effected, the Robinson relatives
giving young Mrs. Robinson $500 a.
wear.
