A Students Joke.

One morning NJ. d'Avyl, ST., presid-
ing Judge of one of the courts in Paris,
went to visit his son in the Latin quar-.
ter of that city. The old gentleman was
at heart a strong royalist and lover OF
aristocracy. He arrived in his sons
apartment at a very awkward time-im-
mediately after one of the young man 8
rousing sprees-and empty bottles lay
around in all directions. Looking
around he exclaimed
"Oh, my what's all this ?"
BOTTLES"
$50 1 see. But what fearful disor.
der ~
"Weli, father, study so hard that I
don't want to lose my time in arranging
all those things which have been ac-
cumulating for long time"
"My child, it is very good to study,
but it is not right to kill ones self. "
While so saying the feet of the magis-
trate encounted a pair of terribly di-
lapidated boots that protruded from
under the table. The magistrate at.
tempted to kick the dirty old things out
of his sight, but met with some solid re-
sistance. They wouldn't go.
"What is this ?" said he.
"BoOts."
$50 1 see But there is something in
them"
"Yes, father, feet.
"Whose ?"
"Silence, father Don't wake up the
Duke of Olivares.
"That duke !" said the magistrate,
gazing on the ragged and Hooking
case under the table, who remained fast
asleep.
"Yes, sir, that's duke so much of
a duke that no later than yesterday his
cousins, the Medinas Csli, sent him
125, 900 francs to enable him to arrange
his little affairs but, unfortunately for
himself, he has refused the offer, not
wishing to accept of anything from a
rival family who have abandoned the
cause of the King"
"Noble fellow !" said the old magis-
trate. "a duke and no mistake.
The son, fearing that the Duke might
wake up, slipped out on the pretext Of
going to attend a case in court, leaving
his father alone with the sleeper.
What passed between the 'Duke"
and the magistrate nobody knows; but
at all events it is a fact that the ''Duke"
few hours afterward, splendidly
dressed from head to foot, stepped out
of the Belle Jardiniere and went to
breakfast with the magistrate, his host,
in restaurant of the Palais Royal.
There the old gentleman discovered
that he had been deceived by his son,
and that his companion was merely a
thirsty, adventurous student.

Flower Offerings.

Among the ancients, the olive, the
ivy, and the laurel leaf were emblems
of their vague ideas of Immortality.
The lotus blossom was the sacred flower
of Egypt centuries ago, and it was the
custom for Egyptian families to visit
the tombs of relatives, and there offer
prayers and oblations. Their oblations,
with variety of other things, included
flowers. 1t has been thought that the
custom of floral offerings, as symbols of
reverence and affection for the dead,
originated among the Egyptians, and
was transmitted to us through the
Greeks or Romans. However that may
be, Roman matrons threw flowers upon
the funeral pyre of Julius Caesar, the
tomb of Achilles was adorned with
lilies and jasmine ; Lycurgus ordered
that soldiers lost in battle should be
buried with green boughs above their
heads; and Homer, i'll his "Iliad, !"
strews forget-me-nots on the tombs of
his heroes. But not until the age of
chivalry do we have any special record
of women strewing the graves of soldiers
with flowers. Then, in token of con-
stancy and affection, the grave of the
slain knightwas strewn with leaves and
blossoms. From this, perhaps, origi-
mated the custom, which has become
almost universal, on the 30th of May,
of decorating the graves of soldiers.
Although a custom of this kind when it
becomes to be public matter is liable
to degenerate into mere formality and
show, the appropriateness and peculiar
beauty of such testimony of love and
remembrance must remain unchanged.
Putting aside all public display, from
which the genuine mourner instinctively
shrinks the laying of beautiful blossoms
above the heads of our buried dead is
most simple and natural, yet express
sive manner of testifying a loving re-
membrance.

Hot Talk from California.

The Sacramento Union has been
serving up some delightful thermome-
trical "reminiscences of the old mining
days of the Golden State. In 1858 the
mercury in the shade marked 115 de-
grees at Coloma for many days. In 1854
it rose in Diamond springs several
times to ia and 115. In 1859, one day,
it rose to III at San Andreas /; the same
day to 121 at Knights Ferry, and to 133
Tin the shade) at several places in Santa
Barbara and San Bernardino. The last
feat of the mercury pushed things a
little too far. Birds fell dead from the
trees, and cattle in the fields. But from
1850 to 1857 it was not regarded as ex-
ceptional at the towns of jackson,
Placerville, Coloma, Sonora, Mokel-
umne Hill, and other mining places,
when the mercury rose in the shade to
ITO degrees. Since then the introduc-
ton and distribution of water through
canals, and the cultivation OF shade
trees and shrubbery among the orlgl-
nally naked volcanic hills, has tempered
the summer heat, and it is as great a
phenomenon now to read in those
mountain towns 100 degrees as it was
ia degrees in the early days of mining.
The Union SAYS "The most remarka-
BILE thing about the extreme heat that
used to prevail is, that it never caused
sunstroke, and seldom even at
ia degrees in the shade-prevented
men from working out in the sun in
deep canyons, among glistening waters
and shining powders, where the mer-
cury would have ascended to 140 de-
grees and probably higher"

rowed them from you, 1 gave the life
giving cross as q surety
The Tartar read these words, and was
astOunded at the power of the hfe-giv-
ing cross. He counted the money ovel
to see whether the full sum was really
there. 1t was there exactly.
! Meanwhile, the Russian merchant,
after trading some five years, made a
tOlerable fortune. Well, he returned
to his old home, and, thinking that his
barrel had been lost, he considered it
his first duty to settle with the Tartar.
So he went to his house and offered him
the money he had borrowed. Then the
Tartar told him all that had happened,
and how he had found the barrel in the
river, with the money and the note in
side it. Then he showed him the note,
saying:
SIS that really your hand %
''It certainly is, replied the other.
Every one was astounded at this
wondrous manifestation, and the Tartar
said
"Then I've no more money to receive
from you, brother; take that back
again."
The Russian merchant had a service
performed as thank-offering to God,
and next day the Tartar was baptized
with all his household. The Russian
merchant was his godfather, and the
kitchen-maid his godmother. After
that they both lived long and happily,
survived to great age, and then died
peacefully ly.-RalstOn' "Russian Folk

riage all was sunshine then the tickle
nature of the Baron began to assert
itself, and he became q very devil OF
causeless jealousy and malice. Every
letter Emmie wrote was read before it
left the chateau. She was debarred
from going into society-she was per
mitted to see no one save in the presence
of her husband, who watched her as a
tiger watches his prey. Then he took
to drinking and playing heavily but
she, hoping to win him back to her still,
compassed him round with sweet obser-
vances, and by her gentle goodness
strove hard to exercise the demon that
possessed his heart. But it was no use.
And then she told him how one night
Emmie's husband returned from boar
hunt, and she ran to meet him in the
hall, when ne, in fit of drunken fury.
before servants and stranger guest,
raised his riding-switch and cut her
across the face-the cowardly hound,
and from that hour she never raised her
head, but, uuder the cruel indignity,
she slowly dropped.
On the night she died she moaned
with pain that she should not see father
or mother again, and they had no pic
ture even to remember her by. But
they shall have one-they shall have
one, and thus saying, she died.
When the master of the chateau saw
her dead, remorse burned into his soul
and drove him mad, and he was now a
raving maniac. And at last Susan
escaped from the chateau to tell the
secrets of his prison house. As Mr..
st. John rapidly sketched these tragic
outlines, great drops of anguish stood
on his forehead, and when L bade him
farewell his hand was as cold as death.
In the din and confusion of this great
shouting world, 1 lost sight of my friend,
and some years after our rencontre at
Berlin, was panied to read an intima-
ton of his death in the Times. Shortly
after this melancholy announcement, a
letter from the solicitors of the deceased
Mr.. st. John, informed me that he had
bequeathed me a full length portrait of
his only daughter.
And this is the story of the picture
of the lady with the pale, sad face, that
hangs in my library. But sometimes I
think l only dreamt the tragic tale.-

Street Scenes in Alexandria.

A correspondent writing from Alex
andria, Egypt, to the Baltimore But-
ietin says: There is much, however,
on every side to remind the traveller
that he is in strange land, and in con-
tact with a peculiar people. He sees
around him long strings of camels !;
droves of diminutive donkeys, trans
porting every conceivable thing; crowds
of turbaned Moslems, white .veiled wo-
men and black-robed eunuchs rows of
bazaars, blazing with the rich merchan-
disc of the East, and presided over by
dusky-hued men, smoking ndrghiiehs
and chatting in an unknown tongue :;
innumerable mosques, with their grace
ful minarets towering heavenward, and
their nluezzins perpetually calling on
the faithful to prayer; beautiful car
riages, drawn by Arab horses of the
purest blood, driven by native coach
men, and preceded by drant courriers,
attired in gold-laced jackets and flowing
trousers, and shouting "Hdb-sib, Hdb-
sib, ADlsh0ggi ~ as a warning to I'M
wary pedestrians and vast gardens,
rich in the rarest flowers, filled with the
most delicious fruit, and cooled by the
refreshing shadows of palms, sycamores
and orange trees. He also hears many
strange things, as. for instance, the
voice of donkey-boys soliciting patron
age, in an incomprehensible iargon,
composed of contributions from every
conceivable tongue the chant of IA
natical dervishes, the wall of fdisconsolate
widows. the cries of flying sais, the en-
treaties of itinerant merchants, the COO
ing of expectant brides, the tinkling of
sherbet glasses, the monotone of i'm
provising minstrels, the groans of weary
camels and the brays of rampant asses /;
but, above all, loudest, shrillest, and
most persistent, the eternal cry of
"BakShjSh, bakshiSh 6akshish :" (give

Arab whom he chances to meet with.

The Cross Surety.

Once upon time two merchants lived
in certain town, Just on the verge of
stream. One of them was Russian,
the other Tartar; both were rich. But
the Russian got so utterly ruined by
some business or other that he hadn't a
single bit of property left. Everything
he had was cOntiscated or stolen. The
Russian merchant had nothing to turn
to-he was left as poor as a rat. So he
went to his friend the Tartar, and be-
sought him to lend him some money.
"Get me surety" says the Tartar.
"But whom can get for you, seeing
that haven't soul belonging to me !?
Stay, though there's surety for you,
the life-giving cross on the church y
Every good, my friend p says the
Tartar. 'I1l trust your cross. Your
faith or ours, it's all one to me"
And he gave the Russian merchant
fifty thousand rubles. The Russian
took the money, bade the Tartar fare
well, and went back to trade in divers
places.
By the end of two years he had gained
a hundred and fifty thousand rubles by
the fifty thousand he had borrowed.
Now he happened to be sailing one day
from along the Danube, going with wares
oneplace to another, when all of sudden
a storm arose, and was ON the point of
sinking the ship he was in. Then the
merchant remembered how he had bor-
rowed money, and given the life giving
cross as surety, but had not paid his
debt. That was doubtless the cause of
the storm arising! No sooner had he
said this to himself than the storm be-
gan to subside. The merchant took a
barrel, counted out fifty thousand
rubles, wrote the Tartar note, placed
it, together with the money, in the bar
rel, and then flung the barrel into the
water, saying to himself: CAS- l gave
the cross as my surety to the Tartar,
the money will be certain to reach him.
The barrel straightway sank to the
bottom every one supposed the money
was lost. But what happened? ? In the
Tartar's house there lived a Russian
kitchen-maid. One day she happened
to go to the river for water, and when
she got there she saw barrel floating
along. So she went little way into
the water and began trying to get hold
of it. But it wasn't to be done When
she made at the barrel, it retreated
from her; when she turned from the
barrel to the shore, it foated after her.
She went on trying and trying for some
time, then she went home and told her
master all that had happened. At first
he wouldn't believe her, but at last he
determined to go to the river and see
for himself what sort of barrel it was
that was floating there. When he got
there-sure enough there was the barrel
floating, and not far from the shore.
The Tartar took off his clothes and went
into the water; before he had gone any
distance the barrel came floating up to
him of its own accord. He laid hold of
it, carried it home, opened it, and
looked inside. There he saw q guam
tity of money, and on top of the money
q note. He took out the note and read
it, and this is what was said in it

thousand rubles for which, when I bor-

A Chance for Marriageable
Bachelors.

Vanity Fair says that London, this
season, as yet resembles heaven in one
thing-there has been no marrying and
giving in marriage there; but that is
an attribute of the land of hope, with
which mothers whose daughters are
''out" can dispense. Is it not time for
them, however, to look matters boldly
in the face, and see what remedy there
may be for this husband famine? Now
that the lately-arranged builders strike
has set us all talking about the laws of
demand and supply, it seems an apprO-
pirate time for them to review the
causes that initiate against their dis
posing advantageously of their stock.
They should learn lesson from seller
of fruits, who will dispose at any sacri-
fee of what at the end of a day threat
ems to remain unsold rather than run
the risk oe its turning bad and quite
unsalable; and they should remember
that the markets are governed by two
cOnsiderations-first, by the number of
people who want a thing; secondly, by
the amount thereof there is to sell to
those people. Young women, as wives,
are not just now very popular article,
and yet they are very numerous. Sup
pose there are 20 men IN one season
willing to give the price of title and
some 100000 year forthwith 800
girls are marked by their owners for
these 20 men only, and $50 would-be
purchasers are thus frightened of, !,
while at the end of the season, even if
all the 20 do buy, $50 maidens are left
on hand, their value diminished by one
season. If mothers would only recol-
lect that women are as plentiful as men,
and that there are on an average three
younger sons to each elder one, we
might be spared some of those heart
rending scenes in August, when you
may see in the West End hot and dis
appointed families quarrelling them
selves away to the railway stations, all
equally cross and mortified at the re-
suit of another useless London season.

The Ten Ladies' in Mourning.

In a recently-published French book,
written by several celebrated authors,
and sold for the benefit of the poor III
Alsace-Lorraine, is the following story
by NJ. Ernest Lagouve:
A lady at Strasburg had, since the
late war, two Prussian officers of the
army of occupation quartered at heI
house. These gentlemen made them
selves very much at home, but COM
planned bitterly that they were not
invited by their hostess to her private
parlor, and particularly that they were
not admitted to her receptions. The
next day they received an invitation.
They entered punctually at eight CLOCK
in the evening. The parlor was dimly
lighted by one simple lamp, and ten
ladies', dressed in deep mourning, were
seated in the apartment.
The mistress of the house, seeing
them enter, rose to meet them, and
leading them to the first of these ladies,
presented them with these words:
"My daughter, whose husband was
killed during the late SIEGE"
The Prussians turned pale. She led
them to the second lady.
"My sister, who lost her son at
Froeschweiler.
The Prussians looked embarrassed.
She led them to the third.

was shot as sharpshooter.
The two Prussians shuddered. She

But the Prussians could stand no
more-stammering and confused. they
bowed and withdrew precipitately, as
if they felt suffocated by the Grape of
the mourning garments around them
like shroud.
It was as if Nathan fed before the
anashema Of Joab.
