Coon WAGES IN EUROPE. - Sixty
cents is good days wages for a work
ing man anywhere in Europe. In the
Tyrol silk region and in Italy, they often
do not get more than ten cents. In the
country in Germany, ten cents is the
common pay. Women there often get
but five cents. In Sweden, men often
work from four clock in the morning
till nine in the evening, and do not get
any more. During the late war, many
poor women in Berlin were nired to
knit stockings for the soldiers for five
cents. The profits of the poor who
keep petty shops, sell trinkets in the
streets, OR act as suffers, do not average
more than three or four per cent. Bar
bers in Berlin, since the raising of their
prices, get five cents for hair cutting and
two and half cents for shaving. Ser
wants at hotels get from three to eight
dollars month. Servant girls in pri-
vate families often get but ten dollars
year. Sometimes these classes can
not get work at any price.-Old and

Few people would imagine that the

the best mines of graphite, the mate
rial of which pencils are made, show
some very curious jewelry of black lead
in their case. There are pins of this
material, set in gold and adorned with
pearls. There are others representing
half-open pods with the peas showing
at the crack, others of husks and ears
of corn, others little bunch of currant-
leaves with the fruit upon it. Certain

shown some very artistic work. Though

The city man who goes into the
country to spend the summer must make
up his mind to learn something of the
routine of rural life. A New York man
who is spending the hot weather season
with family in Pine street, was asked
by the lady if he would take hen off
the nest, as it wanted to set, and she
didn't want it to. Certainly" said he,
and Immediately started out to the barn
where the hens were kept, to crush out
the maternal prospects of this particu-
lar one. He went straight to the nest
to lift her off, and reached out his hand
for that purpose, but Immediately drew
it back again, and tucked it up under
the other arm, and squeezed it little,
while he drew up his lips as if about
to whistle something. Then he stood
there and stared at the hen, and she
lifted up her head, and stared back at
him, winking her eyes with singular ve-
locity. "Get off, won't yous" said he,
after pause. She made no response.
He drew out his hand and looked at a
red spot on his knuckles, and then put
the knuckle in his mouth to cool it.,
looking all the while at the hen, and
wondering how on earth she moved so
quickly. The longer he eyed her, the
less inclined he felt to touch her, and
finally he climbed up post to beam
which ran over the nest, and working
his way out on it till he got just above
the hen, took off his hat and shook it
at her, and advised her to get. But
she only looked up at him, one eye at a
time, and clucked ominously. He told
her if she didn't leave he would come
down there and kick her through the
barn, but Immediately gave up the
blood-thirsty design when he reflected
that it was dumb animal, and couldn't
reason like a human being. Then he
happened to think of his pants, which
were white linen, and rubbed his fin
gers on the beam to find them full of
black dust, which led him to work his
body around to look at the pants, and
while making this very natural move,
he suddenly slipped, made plunge to
renew his hold, shrieked for help,
slipped again, and then came down on
top of the hen and the nest, smashing
them both to the floor, upsetting bar
rel, and filling the air with dust, feath-
ers, hen noises, and shrieks. When
the family reached the barn, the unfor-
tunate man, looking something like a
circus poster on legs, had got on his
feet, and was turning around, and rub
bing his head in an distracted manner,
and every time he turned, an omelette
on white linen base came to view, while
the hen stood up in the furthest cor
ner on one leg, with look of mingled
astonishment and reproach on her coun-
tenance. After five minutes of indus
trious application with chip, the gen.
tleman was escorted into the house,
where his head was bathed with spirits,
and his comfort generally attended to.

Chinese Treatment of Prisoners.

Now, to return to the trial. The back
ground of the tableau was occupied by
the desk of the magistrate, and from 1t
two lines of men, mostly mandarlns OF
lower rank and constables, extended say
twenty feet, forming three sides OF
square. Placing myself boldly before
the open wing, the whole interesting
scene was clearly before me. The
plaintiff was a constable, who talked
loudly to the judge, demonstrating and
pointing often to the accused. The
constable acted as district attorney. De-
fendant was on his knees before the
judges desk, and another constable
kneeled by his side, holding in his hand
one end of a heavy iron chain about
five feet long, while the other end was
with weighty lock tightly fastened
around the prisoners bare neck. Hand
cuffed besides, and also chained below
the knees, he could move about only
with short PAGES. Two common Chi
namen were also kneeling there, wit
is only asked if guilty or not; he is never
permitted to speak word for himself.
No other person is allowed to plead for
him. The judge hears the testimony
brought before him and decides at once.
His decision is the law.
Fifteen minutes after our entering
the court room, the witness and the
constable got upon their feet. The
prisoner remained upon his knees. Sen
tence was Observation-Disclosures
for an indefinite time In England, the
expression would run in such cases,
During her majesty's pleasure" In
America, we don't know of such a
pleasure or indefinite time.
The judge, during the proceedings,
never opened his mouth except to NUT
ter the three or four words of Judgment;
and hardly were his lips closed when
the constable, by sudden, hard jerk
of the chain, pulled his silent victim up
from the floor, with no more feeling for
the unfortunate mans neck than if he
was handling a piece of cord-wood.
1t was a disgusting sight, and my
hand truly clinched the Malacca cane
in such a way as to come very near in
terfering. The prisoner was an old
man, with hair more white than gray.
Torture and want of sufficient nourish-
ment had done its work effectually, and
had stricken him with so much awe,
terror, and fear, that nothing but the
heavy painting of his breast and the
sweat running down his forehead, gave
signs of what he endured Grasping
with both hands for the chain that
nearly tore the head from his shoulders,
he tripped and stumbled as well as he
could after the brute that pulled him
back to prison. But it happened that
small pillar stood in the way, when in
the confusion the bewildered prisoner
went on one side of it, while the con-
stable walked on the other Before
the old man noticed it and could retrace
his steps, his tormentor corrected the
slight mistake. Pulling with all his
might on the chain, he smashed the head
of his victim in such manner against
the pillar, that the greater part of the
skin of one cheek was torn away in an
instant, and the blood ran in profusion,
reddening the ground from the pillar to
the prison.-Overland Monthly.

WIT AND HUMOR.


tising is like winking at pretty girl
through pair of green goggles. You
may know what you're doing, but no
body else does.
A Pittsburg man, who has paid $3.50
for his wife's molars, being compliment
ed on the "pearly" appearance of her
teeth, growled, scripturally: Eyes;
pearls of great price.
"Pretty bad under foot" said one
citizen to another" as they met in the
street. Eyes, but it's fine overhead, ;"
responded the other, "True enough"
said the first, "but, then, very few are
going that way"
1t is singular what little thing will
put man out. A Jersey city lawyer
was making a high-fow speech the
other day, telling about angels tears,
when his honor said: "Confne your re-
marks to the dog fight case" The law
yer sat down.
Two French ladies were looking for
the little daughter of one of them in a
group of baby carriages. "Do you see
him." asked the friend of the mother.
"Hims l am looking for her nurse" !"
"Her nurse:" eyes, all children look
alike. l know the nurse; and I can
find the child best in that way" Gas
for myself, 1 think all bonnes look
alike "How do you know yours,
them" "Oh, know the soldier who
is her beau"
A Methodist minister, who lived on
small salary, was unable at one time
to get his quarterly installment. He had
called number of times, but each time
he had been put off without any. At
last he went to his steward and told him
he must have his money, for his family
must have the necessaries oflife. "Mon-
ey!' replied the steward-"you preach
for money! thought you preachedf or

the minister-''I can't eat souls, and if

Said an Irishman to a telegraphic
operator, "Do you ever charge anybody

"No," replied the operator.

1t was sent as tribute to Patrick's $
shrewdness.
A clerk, who had a mind for logic,
applied it to farmer with advantage,
thus:
Farmer" -"Got any cow-bells:"
Clerk-"Yes; step this way"
Farmer "Those are too small :;
haven't you any larger?'
Clerk-''No, sir; the large ones are
all sold'
Rusticus started off and got as far as
the door, when the clerk called him
back.
"Look here, stranger; take one of
these small bells for your COW, and you
won't have the trouble in finding her;
for when you hear her bell, you will
know that she can't be far off.
The logic was irresistible, and the
farmer bought the bell.

RAILROAD PRECAUTIoNS.-Mr. Fulton,
of the Baltimore american, referring to
the numerous reports of attempts to
throw trains of cars off the track in this
country, says in his last letter from Ger
many:
In Europe this species of villainy is
guarded against by system that rem
ders it next to an impossibility. On
every mile of road there is watchman,
who is provided with a cottage and
small tract of land, part of whose duty
is to walk over and examine the track be-
tween his post and that of the next
watchman, and to be constantly on the
lookout for any distractions. The cot
tage of each of these watchmen is clear
" in sight of similar cottages to the
right and to the left of him. He is
bound to present himself to every pass
ing train, in front of his cottage, with
his red flag rolled up in his hand, and
make military salute to the engineer,
rs much as to say, Go ahead-all is
right :" or, if all is not right, to unroll
and raise his flag for the train to stop.
But this is not all. At every one of
these stations tall pole is erected, hav-
ing two arms at the top of it. one point
ing toward the road and the other from
it. The moment train passes to his
right the inner arm is lowered, and if to
his left the outer arm is similarly low
cred, which says to the next watchman
on either side of him, 1.-The train has
passed my station all right" These
watchmen also have control of all the
gates of roads crossing the track, and
are enabled to lock and unlock gate
even half-mile distant, and ring bell,
the moment he ascertains that a train is
approaching. This is done by means of
strong wire, carried along the ground
on short posts, and attached to lever
at his station. The telegraph is also used
from the main station, but this system
of watchmen and signal telegraphing is
for the intermediate stations. At night,
instead of the arms on the post, red and
green lights are hoisted and lowered as
signals. With such arrangements, OBJ
structing the track or accidents by land
slides or loose rails are next to impossi-
bic. 1t is costly, but the saving in dam
ages is believed to be greater than the
cost, whilst the security to life and prop
erty adds greatly to the business of the
companies. The watchmen are gener-
ally old soldiers, who know the necessity
of watchfulness, and are disciplined to
the faithful performance of their duties.

One could take down book from the
shelf ten times more wise and witty than
almost any mans conversation. Bacon
is wiser, Swift more humorous, than any
person one is likely to meet with but
they cannot chime in with the exact
frame of thought in which we happen to
take them down from our shelves, and
therein lies the luxury of conversation ;
and when living speaker does not yield
us that luxury, he becomes only book

THE Clarksburg Telegraph is under
the impression that the only case IN
volving the validity OF a school levy
that has been decided by the Supreme
Court of Appeals in this State Is that
OF Kuhn Us. The Board OF Education OF
Wellsburg, reported in the 4th W. Na.'
page 400. In this it is mistaken. a
decision was rendered last summer IN
relation to two cases in Mineral county,
in which it was maintained that be-
cause the question ss to whether
or not levy for school
purposes should be made had
rot been submitted to vote OF
the people, the levy was therefore IN
valid and could rot be collected by law.
The opinion of the court was delivered
BY Judge BERKSHIRE who withheld Ii
from publication until he should nave
time to re.write and amend it, and
hence it has not yet been officially re-
ported.
That decision was, however, known
to the trainers Of the present schoc'
law and the legislature could not dis
regard it. The language o. the
new constitution is Identical
with that OF the old il relation TO the
power to levy tax for the support OF
Free schools, and the Supreme Cour'
has decided that "the authority OF the
people" required by the Constitution
can only be given in this case by a
direct vote upon the question.
Now will the editors who are 50 fond
of finding fault with what they style the
local option school law please put
this in their pipes and smoke it. If the
Legislature had omitted from
the law the provision for a
vote upon the levy, no local tax
could have been legally collected and,
of course the Radical newspapers would
have raised howl. Their complaints
because of the presence Of this feature
in the law are but a faint echo OF what
their grumbling would have been had
this provision been omitted. As they
seem determined to fnd fault at any
rate and under al circumstances, they
will probably persist in blaming the
Democratic party for the adoption OF
the local option" feature Of the school

The appointments seem, all together,
TO have been judiciousiy made and we
trust that the schools thus supplied
with teachers may enjoy even q greater
degree Of prosperity during the ensuing
year than they nave had in the past.
During the present summer more than
fifty young men and women have been
graduated by these institutions and sent
forth for service as teachers. These
will be followed by similar classes next
year, and before very long we may hope
TO have our free schools supplied with
we'll trained aud thoroughly competent
teachers.
