A Dry Joke.

The New Albany Qnd.) wags mus tered in front of the opera-house in that city few evenings ago and enjoyed themselves at the expense of the unwary and credulous gentlemen who attended the exhibition.
 When the audience entered the build ing the weather was threatening, and there was general display of um- brellas. In the meantime, however, the clouds were dispersed, and at the conclusion of the exercises the weather was fair. A number of individuals who were doubtless jealous of the gentlemen in the audience who were in the com pany of ladies, ranged themselves in front of the door, and stood on the pave ment with their umbrellas opened.
 As the crowd came surging and squeezing through the doorway, the brilliant light within rendered the outer darkness darker, and, with spread um- brellas, deceived everybody into the belief that rain was falling. Many and earnest were the appeals of gallantbeaux to lesser favored gentlemen for the loan of umbrellas, and ladies were observed, in many instances, as they beheld the damp appearance of things, to stop and rOOt In tne1r naLS or DOnneIs W1Cn Lnelr handkerchiefs, in the meantime loudly deploring the expected wetting. Every man who had an umbrella in his hand disengaged his arm from the lady at his side and triumphantly lifted his water shed as he reached the lower steps, congratulating himself on the expected walk home in the near companionship to which the rain would compel his lady love. The spreading of each um- brella occasioned the spreading of q hundred mouths, and roars of laughter greeted the dupes. There was an odd and never to be forgotten gathering up of ladies skirts as the dear creatures tried to smooth their ruff1ed plumage, when they discovered the joke. Some were amused and laughed, and others got mad and thought something's" not mentionable.

The General of the JeSutts.

Father Beckx, the General of the Order of the Jesuits, has, it appears, been interviewed " at Rome by cor respondent of the Vienna Presse. The correspondent describes him as a short, narrow -shouldered man of seventy, with pale and tranquil countenance, "whose life seemed to concentrate itself in his expressive gray eyes, shaded by long black lashes, and always bent to the ground, except when he is addressing you" He was dressed in long, loose robe, which he held together over his chest with his left hand. "The Gen erals head is long and narrow, a4d it's badness is concealed by black skull cap his brown hair, interspersed here and there with thread of silver, is brushed back from his temples behind his ears, and Q sharp prominent nose and thin bloodless lips complete this very characteristic but unattractive countenance. The father speaks French and German with equal purity, though his native language is French. "I left Belgium" he said, "where I was born, in 1919, and resided for some time in Germany. In 1880 I went to Vienna, and I lived in Austria till 1S5O." He complained bitterly of the persecution suffered by the brethren of his Order, "who are now so hunted about from place to place that, although most of them can speak French, Italian and German, they now often find themselves in countries where they are unable to make themselves understood" "Soon, 7" he said, "they will have to learn Span ish, perhaps Magyar"

What They Suffer From.

Glass-blowers are the victims of those affections produced by the sudden vicis. situdes of temperature-rheu and various infammations. Their eyes are very weak, while they are generally thin and delicate.
 Stone-cutters inhale the sharp parti- cles, which are apt to produce diseases of the lungs.
 Plasterers suffer from the gases, dis engaged and from excessive moisture. They suffer very much from labored breathing, have wan, pallid visages and digest badly.
 Pliers are short-lived. Whether the metal be brass or iron, the fine sharp particles make their way into the lungs, where they develop disease, sometimes asthma, sometimes consumption.
 Workers in wool or cotton breathe a close, unchanged atmosphere, while their lungs are filled with the irritating dust of the material upon which they work.
 All indoor occupations, with the present imperfect notions about venti- lation, are more or less mischievous. Outdoor pations-farming, gar dening and other similar employments afford, with an intelligent comprehen- sion of the food question, the best op- portunity for health and long life. Dri- wing a stage or express wagon, with fre- quent leaving for the delivery of pack ages, travelling through the country on foot as book agent-these and similar employments are perhaps not inferior to farming and gardening.

An American Exhibitor.

For long time, says a Vienna corre- spondent, the only American exhibitor ready, was Woodruff, of Auburn, N. Y., who had his harvesting machines in position in two days after his arrival. Finding 8 quarrel in Vienna, and no one willing to take the responsibility of assigning space, MT. Woodruff said that he had come there to exhibit his machines and to take as many prizes as possible, and concluded that he would not wait for the slow action of the Com mission. Going into Agricultural Hall, then not half completed, he selected the best place in the room and at once put up an elegant platform, carpeted and furnished it, and had his machines in before any oneknew what he was about.
 The consequence has been that all visi- tors to Agricultural Hall have been obliged to feast their eyes solely upon the machines, and there is always a crowd about the stand. The fine finish of these articles causes astonishment.
 The gayety, the invirable good-humor,
 the energy, and the picturesque Auburn dialect of the American young gentle man has already made them known to everybody, and I am not sure they have not V sworn eternal frlendShlp to every exhibitor in the building. One day I was passing through the rotunda with them when MT. Dennis suddenly cried |:
 There is the first Englishman I have yet seen with his coat off-that ought to be encouraged" The son of large and wealthy steel manufacturer, aided by an aristocratic-looking relative, was trying to get seven and a-half foot circular-saw in position. The strong arms of our young American were soon placed at his disposal, and he did not quit work until the huge saw was swing ing upon it's pivot. As the young man was for long time the only represen- tative of American enterprise, he made friends with everybody, and, ma foi, if every friend would take machine, he would work off a hundred or two day with ease. Being first on the ground,
 too, he was entitled to the first mention.

Female Warriors.

Female warriors have been found i1 the heart of Christendom, even since the dawn of this century. We are as sured by Bulwer that the French armies have never been engaged in the neigh
 borhood of Paris without there beine found many of these females whom one sees in the saloons of Paris, slain or the field of battle, to which they had been led, not so much by violent pas sion for their lover as by desire fol adventure, which they are willing tc gratify, even in the camp.
 | Dumourier had at one time for his aids-de-camp two delicate and accom-. plished women, who delighted in the bloody scenes of war. "Often, in the most desperate crisis of the battle, said the general, "I have heard theil slender but animated voices reproach- ing flight and urging to the charge and you might have seen their waving plumes! and Roman garb amid the thick. est of the fre."
 After the battle of Waterloo there were found among the dead several Parisian girls, who had gone forth with their lovers and actually fought in their company. Nor was this an uncommon event.
 "One morning." says Mrs. Scott, "when passing the Palais Royal at Paris, I saw one of these women dressed in military costume, with boots, spurs, and sabre. No Frenchman seemed to consider the sight strange one." The spirit of. Joan of Arc still seems to ani mate the bosoms of the French women, many of whom have shown themselves anxious to emulate her prowess.
 "One day." says Marshal Massena. being at Buezenghen, perceived a young soldier, belonging to the light artillery, whose horse had just been wounded by lance. The young man, who appeared quite a child, defended himself desperately, as several dead bodies of the enemy lying around him could testify I immediately dispatched an officer, with some men, to his assist ance, utthey arrived too late. Although this action had taken place on the bor- ders of the wood, and in front of the bridge, this artilleryman had alone withstood the attack of the small troop of Ccssacks and Bavarians, whom the officer and men l had dispatched put to flight His body was covered with wounds, inflicted by shots, lances, and swords. There were at least thirty. And do you know, madame, what this young man WAS ?" said Massena, turn ing to the relater of this anecdote.
 " A woman yes, 8 woman, and a handsome woman, too, although she was so covered with blood that it was difficult to judge of her beauty. She had followed her lover to the army. The latter was a captain of artillery she never left him, and when he was killed, defended like ioness the re- mains of him she had loved. She was native of Paris, her name was Louise Belletz, and she was the daughter of fringe-maker in the Rue du Petit Lion,"

The TOOthache,

When I was boy, said Beecher in one of his Friday night lectures, used to suffer more with the toothache in any one hour than I did in having the tooth out, and have no doubt I have suffered more from the toothache than should if had been put to the rack and killed by the torture. have no doubt there are persons here who suffer more every month than they would by public ex- scution. There is something very dread full to contemplate in hanging, it is true, but I think the small, petty suffering which people go through with every week until their brows become corru- gated with care is far greater torture. Life for the most part is stale. Take any active drink, and let it be drawn awhile, it throws out all its fixed air and it is not sour-it does not become actually corrupt for some time, but to the taste it is flat and stale, and there is a great deal of life that is simply stale. How much of your life do you think is positively radiant? How many are able to go on with their duties in secular affairs in such way that they are brave and quiet and trustful and happy? Men feel every way backward and forward, like porcupine that rolls himself up and has sharp quills every way. Men pray that they may have trust in God in great things, but do they pray for trust in the things of every day life?

X Fisherman,s RespOnse.

The hard sense and dogged courage of the fishermen who inhabit the Isles of Shoals, off Portsmouth, were never better illustrated than the reply which broke spontaneously from one of their number, in church, one summer after noon, when the preacher had been try ing to illustrate the necessity of de- pendence upon an invisible help stronger than any arm of flesh. "Sup- posing, my brethren" said the mission ary, "that any of you should be over taken in the bay by Northeast storm, your hearts trembling with fear, and nothing but death before you-whither would your thoughts turn ? What would you do?" "Do?' growled a practical skipper, who, approaching the situa- tion, had followed the minister with such breathless interest that for the moment he forgot where he was and considered the question addressed to him personally-"Do? I'd hist the foresail and seud away for squamp

THE Box WAS Too SMAn1.-A prom inent merchant went to his box in the Boston post-office Monday and found there what he thought must be dress pattern. A little surprised, he com menced pulling it out, but it seemed to be- glued fast into the box. He pulled harder, and was at last gratified at hearing little scream. He then became aware that the dress of one of the lady clerks had become caught in the box, and our merchant was vainly endeavoring to drag dress, young lady and all, through tho door,

The BetrOthal,

He asked, Will my Mamie walk
 By my side through our coming life Will you lay your beautiful hands in mine, Through the winters chill and the summer
 shine,
 And be my bride my wife 7' With never thought of fear,
 I answered him, sober and true: Life is lonely and dark and drear, Love is sweet and friends are dear
 Allan, I'll go with you" Then he placed on my finger white
 My blue betrothal ring, And bade me wear it until my life Was merged in his his bride, his wife,
 Whatever fate might bring. Oh, ring in thy velvet case!
 With thy diamond eye gleaming still, Oh, cruel lover with all thy grace! Sad, sad is the memory-haunted place In my weary breast, that ye fill. God pity thee! faithless one
 God pity thy fair young bride; Her life will be darkened forever more By the curse that lieth at thy hearts door Thy perjury and thy pride.

A Goat Paradise.

The island of Guadaloupe, lately purchased of the Mexican Government by company of California capitalists, is to be converted into one vast ranche for tho breeding and rearing of Angora goats. It lies off the coast of Lower California, ninety miles from the harbor of San Quentin, and two hundred miles from San Diego, the terminal point of the Texas and Pacific Railway, and is twenty-six miles long by ten miles wide. This would give an area of 166, 400 square acres. Of this, 4, 800 acres is g dense forest. The face of the island is said to resemble, in remarkable man. ner, the native country of the Angoras. Good grass and other vegetation cover it's surface. The air is 80 fine that when the dry season sets in the grasses cure on the ground standing, and the climate is so mild. genial, and equable that stock can range throughout all the year without artificial shelter or prepared fodder. The rains are sufficient to keep the grazing always fresh and abundant, while the living water of the springs is plenty, pure, and wholesome. There is not the drawback there on &C., count of wild animals which exists on some portions of the mainland.

POETRY.
Beyond the Jordan.

And they came to him, mothers of Judah,
Dark-eeyd and in splendor of hair,
Bearing down over shoulders OF beauty
And bosoms hai-hidden, halt-bare;
And they brought him their babes and besought him
Half kneeling with suppliant air,
To bless the brown cherubs they brought him,
With holy hands laid in their hair.
Then reaching his hands, he said, lowly,
"of such is My Kingdom;' and then
Took the brown little babes in the holy
White hands of the Saviour of men;
Held them close to his heart and caress'd them,
Put ms face down to theirs as in prayer.
Put their hands to his neck and so blessed them,
'''' Joaquin Miller
