The English Soldier.

If soldier of the English army is alb
sent from his company for twenty-one
consecutive days he is considered de.
serter, and is tried and punished ac.
cordingly. The court martial that tries
the soldier for this grave offence, if they
| find him guilty, sentence him to term
of imprisonment for period not ex-
ceeding six hundred and eighty-four
days, and also TO be marked with the let
ter ID (deserter). Tlis mark is indel
bly, branded on the left breast. In time
of war, deserter, if caught, is shot.
Fer criminal offence, such as theft, or
any disgraceful conduct, the soldier is
tried by general or district court mar
tial, which consists of eight members, a
field-officer and judge advocate
If found guilty, he is sentenced to un
dergo term of imprisonment, dismissed
the service with ignominy, and marked
with the letters b G bad character). A
soldier who receives this sentence loses
all his title to pay orpension, forfeits all
service medals and decorations. Drum

sh army. 1t consisted of the following !:

tons, then the smallest drummer-boy in
the regiment gets halter and places 1t
round the prisoners neck, the two next
smallest drummers fall in behind him
with their drums and strike up the
"Rogues March" He is led down the
entire line of the regiment in this fash
ion, and out OF the barracks, where the
pl ovost sergeant takes him to prison.
Corporal punishment has also been abol-
ished, not only in the army, but also in
the British navy. A non-commissioned
officer who is sentenced by court-martlal
to be reduced to the ranks, has his
stripes cut off in the presence of the en-
entire regiment. 1t is the duty of the
drum major to brand deserters and bad
characters in the presence of the adju-
tant and doctor of the regiment.

CosT OF A RHrNoCERos. A rhino,ceros
was lately added to a menagerie now in
Cincinnati. 1t was imported direct from
Sumatra. The. price paid for the animal
was $4,000 in gold, on board of the
vessel, the purchaser assuming all risks
of landing and of transportation. TAX
ing twelve per cent. as the average value
of gold, it would bring the cost of the
animal to 81, 900 in New York. Add to
this the cost of transportation, feeding,
&C, to Cincinnati, say $50, and the
total cost of the animal would be S11, $50
This rhinoceros is the only one of the
kind ever imported to America. 1t is
called by the Malays the :" "Badak Tapa, :"
or Recluse Rhinoceros. So called be-
cause he is not greearious, like his African
congeners, but is generally found alone.
IL is alsQnometimes termed the "Mud
Walloy rom the fact of its wallowing
in marsAy laces. and covering its hide
with a thick incrustation of mud. This
is done TO avoid the torture of mosquitoes
and other mordant insects, which cluster
about the tender places, and drive the
animal, thick-skinned though il may be,
half mad with their constant and painful
bites.

Elegant Weddings.

There are elegant weddings transprng
every night in New York. The other
evening the most brilliant OF the season
was consumated. Ten thousand dollars
were expended for flowers alone.
A very large room in the house was set
with tank. the size of the apartment,
which was filed with water to represent i.
lake. Shrubs and choice exotics borde; ed
TITLES foated upon it, and TIM boats
fashioned of flowers, were adrif' upon the
tide. Every door was removed from the
interior of the house, and garlands of
roses, with trailing vines supplied their
places. Even sets of chairs and sofas
(useless, of course) were fashioned Of ca
melias, and the floor was deeply strewn
with choice floral carpeting. Within an
arbor, constructed of orange blossoms, a
figure in white velvet gave her heart, or
its counterfeit, to another figure in full
dress. Perhaps the two will find sufficient
bliss in the thought of their wedding to
last them couple Of years. But I'm
thinking, people in these times who will
throw away so much for an hours tri-
umph of mere display, will find their boat
a wreck before life together is half crossed
There are not enough of the dear old
fashioned weddings now days The
necessary aim of the young man is first
rich, then marry. Is the word helpmeet
obsolete, wonder9 The age would not
be so fast nor so free in license and prac-
tice, if we could slip back to our grand
parents ideas about courting and matri-
mony. Don't you think so, good people
.Erchange.

FRENCH ADvERTIsING.--Pari has quite
outgeneraled New York in unique modes
of Advertising A short time ago there
appeared upon the Bois de Boulogne a
handsome barouche and fine pair of
horses. Within the vehicle was seated a
gentleman, on either side of whom was
a lady in full ball costume, and without
bonnets. One of these ladies had pro
fusion of golden locks, exquisitely ar
ranged the other was a brunette, with
hair equally fine. Both turned their
heads towards the apparently favored
gentleman sitting between them, whom
they seemed to be addressing with great
animation. The first IMPRESSION on the
spectator, after admiring the beautiful
hair of the ladies', was one of wonder
ment that they should venture abroad
in so cold wind so lightly clad On
close inspection it appeared that they
were wax figures, and that the carriage
was the ambulatory advertisement of a
hair dresser.

CARELESS ABOUT Ir.-It is astonishing
how culpably careless people are about
their wills, and what trouble they thus
entail upon survivors. Some years ago
Lord Henry Seymour, brother of the
late Marquis of Hertford, died in Paris
leaving his property, which amounted
to $4,000 a year, to the hospices of
London and Paris. Lord Henry, al
though legally the son of an English
peer, and resident in Paris, had never
been in England, and thus, no doubt,
came to employ a French expression in
making his will. The word led to dis
pute among various institutions in Eng
land, and much money was wasted at
law before a satisfactory arrangement
was arrived at. Lately, Mr.. Briscoe,
who had, for about forty years, been a
Magistrate and member of Parliament,
and might, therefore, be presumed to
know something of business, or at all
events to employ some one about his will
who did, left legacy to "The Victoria
Hospital" No sooner did this fact come
to light than two claimants were prompt
ly in the field, viz: The city of London
Hospital, in Victoria Park, of which Mr..
Briscoe had for twenty years been a sup
porter, and the Victoria Hospital for sick
children, to which he had not contri-
buted The Court of Chancery decided
in favor of the institution in which he
had so long evinced an interest.

A SlNGULAR CAsE.-Captain Elisha
Freeman was granted divorce from his
wife, Charlotte A. Freeman, in San
Francisco, on the ground of fraud in pro-
curing the marriage. Freeman alleges
that previous to his marriage he was in
sane on the subject of spiritualism and
believed that he navigated his ship under
direction of the spirit of an old Spanish
pirate. He visited the defendant, after
wards his wife, who claimed to be IA
clairvoyant and medium, to consult her
as to whether the spirits were genuine
ornot. She assured him they were gen

he would see at the foot of his bed the
women he must marry. He saw at the

spirits. interpreted through her, they

ACURIous ARTICLE OF TRADE.-There
is actually a considerable commerce in
toads between France and England. A
toad of good size and in good condition
will fetch shilling (twenty-f centsl
in the London market, and dozen of
extra quality are worth 81 (s5). You
may see these imported toads in all the
market gardens where the soil is moist.
and the owners of these gardens even
prepare shelter for them. They pay
their way by catching insects.
