ONE GLASS OF WINE.

The Duke of Orleans, the eldest
son of King Louis Philippi, was
the heir of whatever rights his royal
father could transmit. He was a
noble young man-physicalIy and
intellectually noble.
His generous qualities had rem

One morning, he invited a com
panlon to breakfast with him, as he
was about to take his departure from
Paris to join his regiment.
In the conviviality of the hour,
he drank a little too much wine.
lie did not become intoxicated. He
was not, in any respect, dissipated
man. His character was lofty and
noble. But in that joyous hour,
ne drank glass to much. He
slightly lost the balance Of his body

THE WOMAN QUESTION IN
BISCAY.

We are very happy to have dis
covered, by chance, little land
where there is no need of any caus-
tic speeches about the woman
question" because the whole matter
seems to be practically settled, On
the western declivity Of the Pyrenees
there lives community who are
called Basques. They are partly
under French and partly under
Spanish rule or protection, though
nomlnally free and down to the
present day, they have preserved
their own peculiar laws, according
to which the women have precisely
the same rights as the men. 1t is
true, the poorer women are called
upon to work in the fields; but
these Basques maintain that matters
never move more prosperously than
when the women till the fields and
the men go to war. In the matter
OF lnheritage, the Basques retain
prrAogenlture for both sexes; the
eldest child--son or daughter
lnherlts all the property, and the
rest of the children go empty. Such
an heiress is, quite naturally, sought
after; and when she takes to herself
a husband, she remains the head of
he family-a fact which is always
patent by peculiar dress which
indicates it-and her husband does
not even acquire personal independ-
ence. This goes so far that he
must loose his name, and accept
that Of his wife. He has no sort of
control over her, and can not even
permit his own sons to leave the
''noaternGt" roof. Should she
leave him a widower, the mother-in-
law has more right over the children
than the father. be can not admin
lister the property, nor act as mas
ter Of the house and, without the
consent of his worthy mamma-in-
law, may not bring home a second
wife. In this Ell Dorado Of women,
the eldest daughter, when an heiress
by the death Of the father. attains
her majority at the age of fifteen.
And again, in this most gallant of
countries, the magistracy is heredit-
airy in certain noble families, and
descends to both sexes. The title
of 'lady counselor has its full and
Legitimate sense and power; though,
in general, these magisterial ladies
transfer their powers to their eldest
sons or husbands, as deputies.
.Of late years, these Basque women
seldom fill public Offices; for the
French have, by some means, sue
ceeded in securing them; but the
time was when they wore the err
mine In effect, and exercised the
right Of suffrage, so far as it is in
use in this Amazonian little land.

"A MODERN KITCHEN MAID,

Not long since an excellent Ken
lucky housewife had occasion to
send to Louisville for cook. The
latter in a few days put in an ap-
pearance, arrayed apparently in a
large quantity of cast-of' masquerade

dated panniers, founces, hoops, and
with a stunning hsaddress that
would have be6tted the Queen of
Hayti-jute curls, frizzles, chignons,

The former looked at the latter in
establishment, and when sufficiently
recovered, she informed her that she
did not think she would suit as

perfect application of
DR.. SAGE'S CATARRH REMEDY.
It is the only form of instrument yet invented
with which fluid medicine can be carried high up
and perfectly applied to all parts of the affected
nasal passages and the chambers or cavities COM
municating Herewith, in which sores and ulcers
frequently exist, and from which the catarrhal
discharge generally proceeds. The want Of sue
cess in treating Catarrh heretofore has arisen
largely from the impossibility of applying rene
dies to these cavities and chambers by any of the
ordinary methods. This obstacle in the way of
eecting cures is entirely overcome by the inveR-
ton Of the Douche In usiAg this instrument,
the Fluid Is carried by Its own weight (no snufing.

He is a very careful cultivator. and
will spend hours picking off dead
leaves and insects from the Young
plants, When he finds a dead cat,
rat, dog, or chicken, he throws it into
a small vat of water, allows it to de-
compose, and sprinkles the LIQUID fer
tilizer thus obtained, over his plan
tation. Watermelon and pumpkin
seeds are for him desert delicacies.
He consumes his garden products
about half cooked, in an American
culinary point of view merely willing
them by an immersion in boiling wa
ter.
There are about fifteen English
words to be learned by Chinaman
on arriving in California, land no more.
With these he expresses all his wants,
and with this limited stock you must
learn to convey all that is needful to
him. The practice thus forced upon
one in employing Chinese servant
is useful in preventing circumlocu-
tory habit Of speech. Many of our
letters the Monaghan mouth has no
capacity for sounding. r he invarl-
ably sounds like |, so that the word
"rice'' he pronounces FGice'-a bit of
information which may prevent an
unpleasant apprehension when you
come to employ Chinese cook. He
rejects the English personal pronoun
i, and uses the possessive ''my" in it's
place; thus; "My so home" in place
of II go home"
When he buries a countryman he
throws from the hearse into the air
handfuls Of brown tissue paper slips,
punctured with Chinese characters.
Sometimes, at his burial professions,
he gives a small piece Of money to
every person met on the road. Over
the grave he beats gongs and sets off
packs Of fire crackers. On it he
leaves cooked meats, drinks, delicacies
andlighteH wax tapers. Eventually the
bones are disintered and shipped to
his native land. In the remotest mining
districts of California are found CHI
nese graves thus opened and emptied
of their inmates. I have, in one in
stance seen him,so far as he was per-
mitted, render some of these funeral
honors to an American. The deceas-
ed had gained this honor by treating
the Chinese as though they were
partners in our common humanity.
"Missa Tom," as he was termed by
them, they knew they could trust.
He acquired among them a reputation
as the one righteous American in
their California Gomorrah. China
men would come to him from distant
localities, that hess might overlook
their bills Of sale and other documents
used in business intercoure with the
white man. Their need of such an
honest adviser was great. The de-
scendents of the Pilgrim Fathers of
ten took advantage Of their ignorance
of the English language, written or
spoken. "Missa Tom" suddenly died.
/ had occasion to visit his farm a few
days after his death, and on the first
night of my stay there, saw the array
Of meats, fruit, wine, and burning ia
Ipers on q table in front Of the house,
which his Chinese friends told me
was intended as an offering to "Missa
Toms" spirit.-F65ruary number Of
