Bulwer in his Last Days.

Professor Jowet, the reverand author
gives a genial picture of Bulwer in his
last days. He speaks tenderly of the
genuine kindness of the dead, of his
frankness and loyalty; "all who came
I'M contact with him felt that he was a
true man who had nothing to conceal,
and was willing and able freely to i'm
part himself to all.' But few weeks
ago, the professor and the novelist met
and talked of many things-for one, of
English orators past and present, of
whom Bulwer thought Wyndham most
perfect. OF Byron 700 him he prais-
ed with heartfelt enthusiasm, ridiculing
the recent foolish babbling in England
concerning the famous grammatical err
ror in Childe Harold. They talked of
the really great men in the world, and
Bulwer put the number at twenty,
which We are inclined to think a gen.
erous estimate, Classical literature, he
thought, would continue hereafter, as
hitherto, to be the basis of English
higher education. Next summer he in
tended to devote to the study of Plato,
and he said laughingly that even at the
age of sixty-seven it was hard TO get
rid of the love of appreciation. And
SO the professor ends his discourse with

Better to sit BY the plain pine table

I a Man Of Spirit.

For specimen Of man of spirit, we
may mention Montreal person who
married widow. His wife made life
a burden to him by perpetual'y point
ing out his vast inferiority to her first
choice. He bore this for some time,
but finally it became intolerable. He
felt that rs a man of spirit he could not
tamely submit to such depreciating
comparisons, and he determined to as
sert himself in a way that should con-
vince his wife that he was not to be
trified with. So one night, when that
unpleasant woman was safely asleep, he
rose up and dressed himself, seized
large sledge-hammer, and proceeding
to the neighboring graveyard, where
his predecessor lay, smashed his tomb
stone into small pieces. Probably, Il
this courageous conduct does not in
duce some improvement in his wife, he
will exhume her former husband, and
show her how exceedingly contempti-
BILE that person looks when properly ar

Absurdities or Fashion.

A correspondent of the fashionable
London ladies' newspaper, the Ladies'
Treasury" says: . .s f....-,
"The la test novelties which are spo-
ken of for spring fashions are the REIN
PRODUCTION of the First Empire style q
dress-that is, short waists right under
the armpits. Skirts also are to be made
perfectly plain, with just few gathers
at the back; so that all the old pictures,
with their almost bodiless dresses, and
long scanty skirts, may serve as FASH
ion plates for the coming season. Slen-
der, tapering waists are not to be seen
this year, and we are doomed pro TEN.
to resemble bags of flour tied round the
neck. Do not think that am exagger-
ating; already some of our young bellies
have appeared both in. society and at
the theaters in those inelegant dresses,
and certainly the wearers looked half
ashamed of themselves. There is, how
ever, nothing else seen than these short
waists at all the best fashion houses; so,
whether the revival will have per-
manent standing or not, the attempt is
being seriously made to bring short
waists and lanky dresses once more in
vogue" The Paris correspondent of
the same paper says: "Among the alb
surtlities of fashion Is that at present
introduced into Paris of wearing the
hair over monstrously high comb.
The chignons at the back of the head
are no more seen, but they have mount
ed to the top of it. The hair is arrang-
ed higher than the coiffnre, be it hat,
cap, or bonnet. This new arrangement
is said to resemble the style of head
dress of the ancient French Grenadlers.
1t is more than a coiffure-it is BON
net of hair; and at the side, placed very
high, is u cockade of ribbon or an
aigrette. This edifice of hair is sus-
tanned In its position by the very high
est of all combs, termed giraffe comb
IN front of this, disposed like fan, are
either large leaves placed one on the
other, or else a quilting of blonde, the
comb itself being carved in foliage or
arabesques." .T ,.. ....l-. ~

. Adventures of q Miner in
tld5 Gs4 India s;.ll io tls

Il Z col I
"A German mining engineer named
Bredemyer has been telling San Fran
cisco reporter a strange story: about his
mining operations in India, and his
crueifxion in Burmah. He was grad
uated at several schools of mines in
Europe, and, as may be supposed, had a
thorough mining education. He then
went to the East to practice his profess
sion as an engineer, and took charge OF
the mines in Dutch India. tinder the
government Of Holland. After this he
went into other sections and entered
into the service of the local heather
governments to conduct their mining
operations. He became a great favorite
and was growing in wealth and power,
when the natives became suddenly jeal-
Gus Of him and feared that he would re-
port the richness of their mines to for
eign governments. They do not be-
lieve in the diffusion of this kind OF
knowledge. ga
In Burmah they came upon him with
out any warning to the number of three
or four hundred, as afterward appeared
by the order of the King of Burmah,
in June, 1869. His retainers and serv-
ants left him without a word, as if by
some preconcerted signal, and Joined
the three hundred, armed with bamboos,
knives, and spears. The servants, for
tunately, left his arms, consisting of
eight guns, and two reyolvers, and he
had some ammunition. lie was surround
cd in his bungalow, and fought the
heathen army for three days and two
nights, and then his ammunition gave out
and heIwas obligedto surrender. Then
they seourged him and cried, " Cruelty
him; cruelty him, as he says his God
was crueified. Hang him on cross"
And they crncified him-that is, they
tied him with thongs upon a cross, and
left him hanging. there till ne was un-
conscious. After that they took him
down, and, when consciousness return
ed, put him on the widest one of his
five horses, which no one else could ride
and journeyed with him toward the
palace Of the King. He watched an op-
portunity, knocked down the nearest
guard, and dashed away upon his wild
horse, the three hundred savages, all
that was left of them, in full pursuit.
He far outstripped his pursurers in the
race, reached Mahdelay, the capital, his
horse fell dead under the city walls, and
he went directly to the palace of the
King. The King was not home to him,
and the Prime Minister charged him
with killing number of the Kings
subjects. He was chained and impris-
oned among one hundred and fifty
murderers and robbers, ,and was finally
released through the intercession of the
British Embassador. He had not We.
enough of India, and engaged in min
ing again in the service of another bar
barrie King, who triedto poison him. He
then began to look upon India as an un-
healthy place for a Christian, and went
to the next best mining country in the
world-California. a.

A Nan-Bird Human Beings
Gradually Changing into
Birds. -si-s A-poF -s'-sei4

We sliaHsiy.. 1t is only question of
time. A man is turning into. bird.
The tale is told in. Revue des Mereilles
Scientifiques by M. M.Harnois Condamine
"a science-sharp, and therefore it is
true. The b;rd-man was, Andre Fog
lin. He died, and DR.. Brayais and Har-
nois-Condamine cut him up, Sept. 16,
1871. Folgin's father was hypochon-
driac, imagined that he was turning in
to turkey, and refused to reply, un-
less. addressed as NJ Dinflon. One
Christmas he imagined the cook was af-
ter him, lcaped from the window, frac-
tured his hip, and subsequently, died.
His son Andre, one OF FIVE brothers,
was lad Of marvellous bodily strength.
Another brother went to Sonora and is
in California Andres chest was round
as shield, with an enormous develop
ment of pectoral muscle. His arms
were exceedingly long, and in walking
he would swing them like the arms of a
windmill. When he ran this motion
increased till he. seemed to be propell-
ing himself through the air like swim
mer who goes through the water hand
over hand.
During the Prussian war Andre Fog
lin was run through the lungs by a
Uhlan, and then he was dissected. The
breast-bone was found to be rigid like
that of duck. Some of the spinal pro-
ecsses of the vertebre were abnormally
enlarged, and some of them anchylosed
so as to make portion of the
spine nearly infiexible. The clavicle,
shoulder blade, and sternum all exhibi-
ted wonderful abnormal modification in
the direction of the bird-skeleton. NJ.
Harnois Cendamine concludes that
these departures from the human type
are susceptible of being perpetuated,
and "that we have here precisely the
point of departure of a new species"
Andre has left son in whom the ptero-
yodetie tendency of the parent has been
in an increating shape. His
frame posses the same abnormal features
IS his fathers, and also two new ones
which bear Andre several degrees near
.r to the bird type than his father was.
The boy has had rudimentary third |
