Caution to Women Travelling Alone.

The Congregationalist gives timely warn
ing to women, and especially to girls,
about the acquaintances whom they
make in the cars. Speaking of the
pimps and scoundrels, who seem to
grow even more numerous and more
subtitle as our civilization grows older,
it says: On the watch for women as
bad as themselves, or for the young and
unsophisticated, of whom villain
might make q victim, it is next to i'm
possible for young woman to enter the
car unattended without their knowl.
edge. She is fortunate if they make no
more or less cautious approaches to find
out who she is, where she is going, and
whether she will tolerate the familiarity
OF stranger. So numerous are these
men that it is with some peril that n
young woman undertake es long Journey
alone. The peril of those who may be
unfortified by principle, or unacquainted
with the ways of the world, or suscept-
BILE to batteries from smooth tongue,
is great. We know of no help for this
evil but in the watchtulness of parents,
in the uprising of the virtuous against
the vile, and the discretion of those who
are subject to these annoyances and in
suits. 1t is safe for young woman to
repel the familiar advances of smiling
and officious strangers at any time. If
on the road any help is required, there
are public officials to whom it is always
both proper and safe to make applica-
ton.

The Mont Gents Tunnel.

The experiments of Sgnor Barelli on
the Alpine tunnel result in showing a
rate of temperature equivalent to one
degree in every ninety one feet of de-
scent, considerable variation from the
results usually obtained. In the report
on the measurement of the tempera-
ture it is stated that when the blast
which opened communication between
the Italian and French works was fired,
the smoke was drifted out at once by a
current which set toward the Italian
end, and which was favored in It's
movement by difference of level of
435 feet in favor of the Italian end.
The shaft, therefore, acts somewhat
like a chimney, and it is to be hoped
this will favor its proper ventilation, q
result most devoutly to be prayed for
by those who have ever made the tran
sit of the Alps by the railway which
passes over the mountains.

EXasDeratinp.

After long years of persistent perse-
cution, the editor of the Indianapolis
Evening Journal thus gives vent to his
pent-rp-feelings: Nothing so infuri-
ates an editor-we speak from expert
ence-as to have great, loosejointed
galoot stride noiselessly into his sanctum,
pick up newspaper, rustic it for a mo-
ment, and then slam it down, creating
an atmospheric conclusion which scat
ters two hundred and seventy of his
small clippings-the gleanings from
seven hundred and forty exchanges
into the spiroon and waste basket.
The editor who can keep his brows from
corrugating, and repress the convulsive
contraction of his biceps, at such time,
is spiritless milksop, whom it were
base ilattery to call sheep"

than Pat brought home, my fingers are
stiffer than | thought
SO he drove his hand into the bushes,
and if he didn't get plenty, it wasn't for
the want of grasping.
When he got up in the morning, he
went straight to the ,jewe's. But moth
ing was to be seen but broken bits of
mud.
| ought not to have looked till I'd
been to the Rath,' said he. "It's best
| to do all in due order"
But he had made up his mind not to
return the fairy mans shoes.
"Who knows what power lies in
them?' said he.
SO he made small pair of red leather
shoes, as like them as could be, and he
blacked the others upon his feet, so that
the fairies might not know them, and
at sunrise he went to the Rath.
The fairy man was looking over the
ditch, as before.
"Good morning to you," said he.
"The top of the morning to you, sir"
said the cobbler; "here's your shoes"
And he handed him the pair that he
had made, with face as grave as q
judge.
The fairy man looked at them, but he
said nothing, though he did not put
them on.
Have you looked at the things you
got last night?' says he.
"Ill not deceive you, sir" says the
cobbler. /" | came off as soou as I was
up. I've not cast an eye upon them"
"Be sure to look when you get back"
says the fairy man. And just as the
cobbler was getting over the ditch to
60 home, he says:
If my eyes don't deceive me-" say
he, " there's the least taste in life of dirt
on your left shoe. Let me dust it with
the tail of my coat"
That means home in twinkling,"
thought the cobbler, and he held up his
foot.
The fairy man busted it, and muttered
something that the cobbler did not
hear. Then, "Sure," says he, otis
them dirty pastures that you've come
through. But the other shoes as bad"
So the cobbler held up his right foot,
and the fairy man rubbed that with the
tail of his green coat. When it was
done, the cobbler's feet seemed to tingle,
and then to itch, and then to smart, and
then to burn. And at last he began to
dance, and he danced all round the Rath
(the fairy man laughing and holding
his sides), and then round and round
again. And he danced till he cried out
with weariness, and tried to shake the
shoes off But they stuck fast, and the
fairies drove him over the ditch, and
through the prickly furze- bushes, and
he danced away.
Where he danced to, cannot tell.
Whether he ever got rid of the fairy
shoes, | do not know. The jewels were
never more than bits of mud, and they
were swept out when his cabin was
cleaned, which was not very soon, you
may be sure.
All this is long ago; but there are
those who will say that the covetous
cobbler dances still, between sunset and
sunrise, round Murdoch's Rath.
*RaM-A kind of moat; "a small circular
meadow surrounded by mound overgrown with
furze bushes" Raths are favorite spots with
Irish fairies.

Great Fire at YeddO, Japaa.

YOKOHAMA, April ga frightful con-
flagration occurred at Yeddo during a
severe gale, which destroyed space of
two by three miles. Originating from
one of the Princes late palaces in which
the troops were, the fire leaped a whole
block, burning places a mile from the
beginning. An immense amount of
property was destroyed. Where the
wounded and lame were unable to es-
cape, the officials slashed right and left
with their swords, and thus, by an
instant death, saved many from more
awful one by fire. Thirty thousand
people are houseless, but the Govern
ment has opened the rice storehouses
and have fed all who have applied. This
fire has led the Government to permit
foreigners to lease land in Yeddo, by
the owners making monthly reports,
and will cause foreign money to be in.
vested there to improve the city. A new
plan of the burnt district will be made
out to be built upon, and the widest
streets and substantial buildings will
only be allowed.

Almost Incredible.

When Jacob courtcd Mary Jane.
A lass without fau It he thought her.
And ev'ry evening. fair or rain.
Attired in all his best he sought her.
She's honest, true. and kind. said he.
As she is pretty in her features;
And il she'll only marry me.
Well be the happiest of creatures
His parents hearing how he felt
And noticing his eager fury.
Said: Son be cautious. She won't melt.
Don't be in such precious hurry.
Her family are not renowned
For being quite as meek as Moses,
And some who married in it found
No end of thorns among their roses
"I'll try her temper" Jacob cried. :,
In all the ways by spite invented;
But e'er dozen tricks he'd tried.
His own good nature sore repcnted.
The more he teased. to make her mad.
Instead of vixen spunk revealing.
She only seemed as meekly sad
As comes of wounded tender feeling.
No longer seeing room to doubt
That che was mild beyond expression.
Our Jacob brought the question out.
And she surrendered at discretion.
In proper course the wedding came.
With orange blooms and tears and laughter;
A bridal tour to CROWN the same.
And pretty cottage home thereafter.
But ali. alas. for Jacobs peace!
Ere yet the honeymoon was over.
His Mary's temper broke the lease
He thought he had on life in clover.
From being gentle as of DID,
And shedding tears when he'd offend her,
returned into perfect scOld.
As ugly as the Witch of Endor!
Astsunded at the fearful change.
And wond'rin how he had been blinded,
The hapless man could not arrange
The questions answer as he minded;
Till. at her fathers house. one day.
He put the query, quite emphatic:
How did you take me in that wayl'
Said she: IN show you in the attic"
And then they climbed the garret stairs.
Till. standing under beams unnumbored
The lady showed. with mocking air.
A central post with braces numbered;
You see it's nearly worn in twain.
Or seems to be. with weight it's carried;
But ,cith mv teeth | gnawed the grain.
A fortnight, lust before we married
Whenever you would tease me most,
And then had gone. and left me beaming.
l used to come and gnaw that post.
To keep myself from raging screaming!
/ knew you'd never know your mind,
If temper / should show forbade you"
Said Jacob. That. my dear. was kind:
But don't l wish some other had you"

Absintlle.

The Pail Mall Gazette gives this ac-
count of the way in which the French
came to use enormous quantities of
absinthe: Except to medical men alb
sinthe was unknown prior to the Alge-
rian expedition, in the reign of Louis
Philippe; but when the soldiers were
at Constantine and Oran, and suffering
greatly from fever, the doctors recon-
mepded that absnthe should be mixed
with their wine, as it was much cheaper
than quinine. During the entire cam
paign the soldiers drank this mixture,
and afterward retained the custom,
which first appeared in France at Mar
seilles, whence it rapidly spread through
the country, and settled permanently
in Paris.
