A Fish Story.

The last fish story comes from New
Jersey. Lately in the interior of that
State mild-looking countryman en-.
tered railway car, bearing a bundle
tied up in handkerchief, which he
placed under the seat at the end Of the
car. After travelling along for about
half an hour, lady sitting in front of
the countryman was observed to move
uneasily on her seat, and to cast savage
glances at seemingly respectable man
sitting by her side. In a few minutes
another lady, still further in front,
became uneasy" and at last, rising in
her seat, requested some gentleman to
protect her from an elderly looking
gentleman BY her side; and who,
she stated, had insulted her. A
dozen persons offered their assistance.
and before the accused could speak in
his own defense his hat was damned
down over his eyes. and he was dragged
to the rear OF the car. While there,
and carrying on with the avengers a
war Of words as to what the indignity
meant, still another lady rose. also
seated further up the car, and accused
a gentleman sitting behind her with
improper conduct A rush was made
for insulter number two, but this gen.
tleman vigorously defended himself
with large walking stick he happened

one cause of the last trouble, his accuser
stating that he had indecorously been
nipping her ankles under the seat with
the same) and while the struggle to get
at him was still in progress, somebody
in front of the car shouted, "There's a
snake ON the foorl' A scene then en-
sued. The ladies in the car clambered
up on the arms and backs of the seats.
One elderly lady managed to stand on the
backs of two seats IN the best circus
manner possible under the circum-
stances, while young mother threw
her baby into parcel rack, and then
hung convulsiVely to ventilator. The
confusion awoke the countryman who,
on being told of the snake, first felt in
his bundle, and then exclaimed, "Im
blamed if that old eel haint got loose"
and started for the front, soon return
ing, grasping firmly an immense eel.
which he had caught out fishing, but
which, when brought into the car, had
managed to get out of the bundle and
had wendell his way to the front, low
ingly caressing the different varieties of
ladies' CATERS which he encountered on
the way. Apologies given and received
Strengthened everything in that car but
the hat that was jammed down, and
the countryman leaving at the next
station no blood was drawn.

A Word for the Women.

FROM Hearth and Home.
Somebody once said that the women
OF to-day are so extravagant in dress,
and so helpless in other respects, that
none but rich men can afford to marry.
and foolish people have been saying the
same thing or something very like it
ever since. Every time man fails in
business, people take mental inven-
tory of his wife's wardrobe, and cry out,
" Poor fellow, he was ruined by her ex-
travagance." No account is taken of
his club expenses, or his unnecessary
restaurant bills, or his fast horses, or the
vanity that prompted him to buy big
ger and finer house than he needed.
Nothing is said of his dress coats made
by some Monsieur Snip, who charges ex-
ira prices because he calls himself an
" artist tailor" The man may have
gambled his money away or have lost it
In reckless stock speculation for all any
body knows to the contrary, while his
wife, believing him to be rich, has
dressed and lived only as his circum-
cumstances warranted, doing it, too,
only for his sake, that he might not be
ashamed to introduce her as his wife.
Or if she has been as extravagant as he,
the fault is usually his, SO long as the
fact remains that any proper man can
lovingly control the course of any proper
wife.
Women are often extravagant. The
fact cannot be denied. But that they
are moro SO than men is by no means
true. AS arule, every woman wishes to
live within her husbands income, and
IN nine families out of ten all the
economizing done at all is done by the
wife.
This constant iteration of the charge
against women, however, has secured a
KIND OF passive acceptance for the
theory, and nothing is more common
now than Tor young men with salaries of
two or three thousand a year to lament
their inability to marry, because women
recently told the public through the
newspapers, how it takes all his salary
OF two thousand dollars to support him
as single man, and after looking over
his bill of items and finding that it takes
fifty dollars worth of perfumery every
year to keep him sweet, we quite agree
with him that he should not marry. A
woman weak enough to wed such a
youth would probably give him trouble,
even with a much larger income than
his to draw upon.
The trouble is, men want to live in a
more costly style than their income will
allow. They hire houses they cannot
afford, and buy furniture beyond their
means, and "put on airs generally,
which they cannot maintain. Their
wives, knowing less than they Of the
purse-dePths at command, accept the
husbands estimate of their ability to
live, and they dress as their lords
clearly wish them to do. And so the
crash comes, and poor Charley" is
commiserated, and his little wife's
shoulders are saddled with the blame

The Perils of COasting.

A terrible accident happened in Bing-
hampton, n. T., on Saturday night, by
which young man, named Charles
Williams, was instantly killed, two
others probably fatally injured, and sew
eral receiving injuries of a more or less
serious nature. A large crowd of young
men and boys were coasting on the Oak
street hill, near the Water Cure, using
bob-sled, upon which they piled promis-
cuously. Two large torches were placed
in front, on the sled, to warn people
and teams of its approach, as it went at
almost lightning speed down the slip
perry descent. Several trips had been
made in safety, and the sled, crowded
with the hilarious passengers. had been
again started, when a team belonging
to Mr.. Golf came along, and had Just
commenced the ascent of the hill when
the torches warned him of the approach
of the sled, which was about in the
center Of the hill. The shouts of the
boys and glare of the torches frightened
the horses, and they became so unman-
ageable that Mr.. Golf could not turn
them out of the road. The sled, then
at the height of its velocity, could not
be controlled, and went crashing into
the horses. The collision was fearful.
One horse was killed outright, the
wagon badly wrecked, and the sled
dashed into hundred pieces. The
boys, horses and wreck were all piled in
one confused mass, and young Williams
was found at the bottom of it all, dead.
John Wesler, aged twelve years, was
taken out insensible, and another boy
was found to be seriously injured. Four
others received cuts and bruises.

An Indiana Borgia.

On one day last summer, a farmers
wife in Stark county, Indiana, sent out
to her husband in the field his dinner
in basket. Soon after eating he fell
sick, and came to the house, bringing
the basket with him. As soon as he
arrived he was seized with convulsion
which terminated in death. His wife
paid no attention to him until after she
had secured the basket and its contents,
The man who took the basket out into
the field was afterward found to be the
guilty wife's paramour. The pair were
arrested for the murder of the hus-
band, and their trial is now in progress
at Knox, the county seat of Stark
county.

Death in Green PAPER.

At meeting of scientific society at
New York, a few evenings since, sub
ject was considered that possesses no
little practical interest. One member
produced a pamphlet with a green
cover, and said that 100000 copies of it
had been circulated. He then demon
strated that there was enough arsenic in
each pamphlet to kill several persons,
and cited instances OF green covers hav-
ing been used by suicides. Another
member exhibited another work with
similar covering, and showed that this
green paper was largely used by pub
fishers. The fact was also referred to
that the color was found in window
curtains, boxes, and in many articles of
wearing apparel. And this notwith-
standing the familiar truth that the
basis Of all green pigments is arsenic,
and that their presence is very danger
GUS, especially where there are chill
dren, who are liable to take the deadly
drug into their mouths in ignorance of
its character.

How Trees Breathe.

Animals inhale air for the oxygen,
which vitalizes the blood. Leaves of
plants are lungs of rudimental char
acter, but nevertheless very extraordi-
nary instruments. They absorb carbon
from the atmosphere, which is destruc-
tive to animals, and expire oxygen,
which all organized breathing creatures
must have or die.
To perform that important function,
the breathing organs of large elm,
were its leaves placed side by side, adj
hitting it possible to arrange them to
represent carpet, would be equal to
two acres of respiratory surface. Where
trees abound, there the atmosphere is
vitalizing, unless counteracted by de-
caying vegetation in wet or low lands.
Trees in cities are sanitary sentinels.

Heaven,

Beyond these chilling winds and gloomy skies.
Beyond deaths cloudy portal,
There is land where beauty never dies,
And love becomes immortal.
A land whose light is never dimmed by shade,
WI hose fields are ever vernal:
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade.
But blooms for aye, eternal.
We may not know how sweet the bslmy air.
How bright and fair its flowers;
We may not hear the songs that echo there,
Through those enchanted bowers.
The city, shining towers we may not see,
With our dim earthly vision
For death, the silent warden, keeps the key
That Opes those gates eysian.
But sometimes when adown the western sky
The fiery sunset fingers,
It's golden gates swing inward noiselessly,
Unlocked by unseen fingers.
And while they stand moment half ajar
cleans from the inner glory
Stream brightly through the azure vault afar
And half reveal the story.

At last the details Of the last outbreak

At last the details OF the last outbreak
in Roumania have reached London.
They show that the persecution OF the
unofending Jews was truly heart-rend-
ing. AT Cabul the horrors exceeded
even those formerly perpetrated at
Ismail. Cabul is q town with a popula
ton Of about 1000. 1000 of whom are
jews. These were suddenly set upon
boy their fellow-townsmen, and for three
days beaten, wounded. plundered,
driven out Of their houses, which were
battered to ruins, and the tenants forced
to take refuge in the barracks, where,
instead of being defended, they were al-
lowed again to be beaten, and for several
days left without food. In these tumults
heads were split open, arms broken,
boards plucked out by the roots and
other atrocities committed. One of the
sufferers defended his house for three
days, his four sons standing by him.
He made them swear that, should he fall,
they would continue to fight. The
bands surrounding his house were for a
considerable time held at bay, but tho
defenders were at last compelled to give
way, as the villains set fire to the pre-.
mises. The damage inflicted on the Jews
is valued at 40, 600 ducats. Trustworthy
accounts say that there is scarcely vii
lage in the whole Of Bessarabian Rouma-
mia where there have not been frightful
scenes. The misery is dreadful, and
help ls needed Immediately.
