teams meet, good breeding requires that
each give half the road. Yet We often
meet teamsters who refuse 20 obey this
simple rule, because they have the ad.
vantage at the time. A man with a
heavy lumber wagon has no more right
TO crowd a light carriage intO the ruts or
bushes, than burly lubber would have
TO force his weaker bedfellow 70 sleep
on the rail. II some peculiarity in his
load requires him 10 keep the track, he
can stop his team, and politely ask for
1t, and thank the other for giving it,
When one teamster wishes 10 pass an
other on dusty road he should ask the
privilege Of doing so, especially II there
is a lady in the forward wagon. When
the forward team finds that his own
team travels slower than the other he
should hold his horses 10 their slowest
pace till the other passes. A man has
no more right, under these circumstan-
ces, to whip up his slow team just enough
to keep the other in the rear, than he
has to build fence across the road, or
do any i'll hammered vulgar thing.
We suppose there are statute laws to
regulate the conduct OF teamsters, but
we have felt IL necessary 10 refer TO
them; for we think little attention on
the part of teamsters to the simple rules
Of good breeding, will do as much to
prevent accidents and secure comfort
and good feeling on the road as any set
Of laws that could be enacted

The Girl who Never saw a Young
Man.

An old man who lives near st. Helena
Cal. in wild solitude, has very pretty
daueh Ter, aged nineteen, who had proba-
bly, .ver seen young man TILL her
father took her to San Francisco the
other day to see the town. She was
dressed up prettily, for the first time IN
her Iifo and her silks and ribbons and
the CAV sights almost turned her head.
But wh. It most interested her was that
hitherto unknown being-the young man.
Every ii me she saw one she would tix
her ewes earnestly on him, and she aetu-
ally mad several attempts 70 get away
from the I'D man, that she might cult
vate the acquaintance Of these young
gentlemen. so that he finally caught her
and led her by the hand. After he got
her on the boat Cor Vallejo, on the nome
ward trip, he felt pretty SAFE and con-
cluded to take a di ink. DE took several
and in his absen,le the daughter made
the acquaintance OF two sprightly young
men on the boat, aud she was so tas-
cinated with male soc iety that she made
arrangements to fors axe her old father
and 90 with them. She successfully gave
her father the slip when they left the
boat for the cars, and the infatuated girl
was slowed between them in a smoking
car. But her father found her and
whirled her out Of that car IN the liveliest
manner, and kept his hands on her till
thew reached home. he viii not dare
expose her to such peril again, and the
poor girl is destined to close confinement
out Of the world Of young men unless she
rms away.

queen victoria and Her worRmeu

Queen Victoria, if the accounts given
of her are true, is a most kind and gra-
cious lady, ready at all times to do the
utmost in her power TO relieve the wants
Of suffering humanity, and bring conso-
lation and help to the sick and needy.
Among the dozen orso of roy yal residences
in the kingdom, Her Majesty has q very
beautiful property in the Isle of Wight,
known as Osborne House. Employed on
the Osborne estate are number of la
borers who recently formed a sort Of
combination among themselves, with a
view Of pressing certain demands upon
their royal mistress. These men had
the presumption to ignore the steward OF
the estate altogether in their negotia-.
tions, and took the unheard of liberty Of
sending their memorial to Victoria her
self, signed in "round robin" The
Isle Of Wight Times says In this
memorial the laborers asked Her Ma
jesty for Is. l0d. (70 cents per day in
stead of Is. 4d. (58 cents), and for q
shortening of the working time by one
hour daily. They also requested to be
allowed to leave work on Saturday after
noon at oclock, so as to enable them
to attend to the domestic duties, pre-
pare for the Sabbath, and improve their
minds Further, they complained of
the beer hitherto supplied, and they
asked the Queen to grant them six pints
of good beer per day during the hay and
harvest seasons. Extra pay for carting
wood, coal, etc., was also solicited, and
the men wound up with request for Cd.
twelve cents) an hour when working
over time" Such an anti-red-tape pro-
ceeding could not be countenanced, for
it might afford precedent for all sorts
Of irregularities, and the memorial was
promptly sent back to the steward with
instructions to make inquiries. Fifty
eight cents q day, and comfortable cot
tage rent-free, with possibly some other
allowances, is really good pay as prices
. in England for agricultural laborers.

French Patriotism.

The Paris papers are giving several
touching instances of patriotism. The
GaulOis, in announcing that n young
lady of rank recently took the vail in a
Partisan nunnery, thinks it proper to
reveal fact" which it evidently thinks
too good to be lost. Her fathers chau-
teau during the war became the head
quarters of some twenty Prussian Off
GERS. One day on sitting down to din
ner zone of them so far forgot himself
as to clasp the young lady around the
waist. She took up long knife and
stabbed him to the heart. She was ar
rested, but released in day or two on
the order of Prince Frederic Karl. 4"
The other instance of patriotism is less
tragic. An officer who fought most gal
lantlya at Metz, was sent aprisoner to Ger
many, and while there fell in love with and
married German girl. The other day
he returned to Paris, and went to his
club as usual; but to his surprise he
was Immediately expelled on the ground
that he had married into Prussian
family.

An Immense Casting

A very large casting has been lately
been made in Brooklyn, n. Y, for the
East river bridge. 1t is one of the an
chor-plates to which the suspension
chains are to Ne fastened. -Four weeks
were occupied in forming the mold, and
the process is thus described A cir
cular elevation was first made, twenty
feet in diameter and three feet deep, at
the bottom of which was placed an iron
plate. Upon this course of brick,
eight inches thick, was laid in mortar
of fine sand and fre-clay the upper
surface was then leveled off and baked
with charcoal. This surface served as
the base of the mold, which was of
loan, secured by brickwork and iron
girders built in sections. The anchor
plate is of oval shape, seventeen feet six
inches by sixteen feet in dimensions,
with a thickness at the ribs of three
feet. 1t weighs $4,000 pounds when
cleaned, and cost SO, 200. About CO., 900
pounds of iron were melted, transferred
to huge tank, and thence allowed to
flow into the mold The casting took
place without accident and was allowed
one week to cool.

A Terrible Punishment.

Mr.. James Greenwood haspublished O
frightful account of the silent system
which is in operation at the Holloway
Model Prison, in London:
IL is an offense for prisoner TO speak
one word, and he is never addressed ex-
cept in whispers, SO that he may be in
prison two years without hearing the
natural sound of the human voice. The
effects of all this is so terrible on the
mind that the prisoners will speak out
in desperation, at the risk of any pun
ishment, rather than endure that horri-
BILE silence.
The prisoners never see one another,
but remain in perpetual solitude. One
poor wretch driven to desperation by
nine months of solitude and silence,
recklessly broke out in Mr.. Greenwood's
presence
"For Gods sake, Governor, put me
in another cell. Put me somewhere
else. I've counted the bricks in the cell
L am in till my eyes ache. "
The request OF the tortured wretch was
refused.
There is fine hole in each cell, and,
as the wardens wear shoes with India
RUBBER soles, the prisoner can never be
sure of being alone.
Those condemned to the treadmill
have to ascend 200 steps every alter
nate twenty minutes for six hours. And
this in a place so hot and close that
prisoners often lose in perspiration
three stones in as many months.
Every day the prisoners are taken to
a chapel SO arranged that they can see
no one save the chaplain, and him only
through an iron grating. And thus is
the order of devotion observed War
dens are constantly on the watch lest for
single instant they, through the whole
of the service, depart from the rule of
"eyes right. They must look stead
tasty at the preacher must raise and
lower their prayer-book with the elbows
squared, and all at once, like soldiers at
drill. They may not scrape their feet
without having afterwards to explain
the movement. They scarcely wink an
eye or sigh without danger, or rebuke,
or punishment. God help them, poor
wretches

AcQuIttai Of DIR. West.

Prof Isaac G. West, who murdered
Gooch Turner, negro, in Dover, Del. =,
last December, has been acquitted upon
the ground that he committed the deed
in self-defense. The murder, as our
readers will remember, was one of the
most singular on record. Turner had
come into the Professors laboratory to
do some work, and West states that he
saw the negro behind him with huge
hammer just about to strike him. He
wheeled suddenly round and struck the
negro on the neck with an iron bar, kill
ing him instantly. He then tried to get
rid of the body by skinning it, cutting it
to pieces, and carrying it off in buckets
While setting about this operation he
was in a great state of excitement, and
accidentally set fire to his laboratory,
utterly consuming it. He then became
alarmed, fled from the city, and for a
long time was absent, many supposing
that he had been burned up i'll the build
ing. After a months absence he re-
turned and surrendered himself to the
authorities, and has been tried with the
result indicated above.
