1t is singular that there should be no

A favorite style of trimming dresses,

The Comte de Waldeck sent bou-
quet to the ex-Empress Eugene on her
birthday, with a note saying that his
age was 100 years-old enough to know

Out West, where women are running
for office, the newspapers whose candi-
dates have been elected, no longer place
defiant roosters at the head of their
columns. A modest hen broods over
the glad tidings of election.
In the Christian warfare, to maintain
the conflict is to gain the victory. The
promise is made to him that endures to
the end. The object OF our spiritual
adversaries is to prevent this. Every
day IN which you are preserved from
going back, they sustain defeat

There is no sort of wrong deed of
which a man can bear the punishment
alone; you can't isolate yourself, and
say that the evil which is in you shall
not spread. Mems lives are as thor
oughly blended with each other as the
air they breathe; evil spreads as neces-
sarily as disease.

1t will give some notion of the vast
ness of the spoil of war that has fallen
into German hands, irrespective of the
pecuniary indemnity, when it is stated
that the share of gun metal from cap
tured cannon allotted to Bavaria alone,
as the due of her two army corps,
amounts to no less than 460 tons. OF
this, King Louis has ordered fifty tons
to be distributed to certain parishes to
be turned into the church bells they are
in need of. The rest is handed over to
the Bavarian Government arms foundry
for future conversion into German guns.
Two bellies from some provincial town
were taken through the st. Louis Po-
lice Headquarters lately, and went into
ecstasies over the picture of what they
termed "a love of a man." "Who is he?"
chirped one of them, modestly. ''That's
a professional bigamist," replied the
clerk. "He's married fourteen or fif-
teen wives; the last one was the daugh-
ter of a banker in Detroit, Mich, and
there's $500 reward offered for him."
The clerk stopped to get breath, while
the maidens let out their sentiments in
some well modulated shrieks and asked
no more questions.
There has been dispute as to which
is the fastest train in England. Prece-
dence has been claimed for the 10 A. NJ
express from Kings Cross. 1t also as
serted that the Great Western express
between Paddington and Exeter is
faster. Between Paddington and Swim
don the distance is ~. miles, and both
the up and down trains travel it in 81
minutes, including the starting and
stopping, or at the rate of 1892 miles
per hour. At full pace, the speed is as
nearly as possible a mile a minute the
Great Western railway is built on a 7
feet gage, but many parts of the line
have third rail, allowing narrow "a
feet 81 inches) gage trains to rGn on it
also.
Arecent number of the leading French
Review has an article on the German
Imperial Parliament, which shows that
unity is more easily declared than &C

1872 to pass routine bills The 81 Ger
man States still have a Congress or
Legislature apiece, with 100 members
in all, and as many of the members OF
the National Congress are also members
of their own State Legislature, and both
bodies are often sitting at the same time,
the national representatives, who get
no pay, prefer staying at home. The
presence of Bismarck and MOltke, and
others holding high Office in the Gov
ernment, naturally affects the debates,
but, while it brings the Administration
and the Legislature into close relation,
ii does not prevent a very thorough dis
cussion of the plans introduced by the
various departments. The debates are
short and the speeches to the purpose.

A correspondent of the London Daily
TeLe0raph writes to that journal as fol-
lows in praise OF the lfe-sa7ing arrange
ments on board the Philadelphia line of
transatlantic steamers. He says: at
ought to be extensively known that
there is one line of transatlantic pack
cts which provides in al its ships not
only the usual boats, but also life RATS
sufficient to carry all the crew and pas
sengers. i refer to the American Steam
ship Company of Philadelphia, running
regularly between Liverpool and Phila-
delphia, and it ought to be stated that
it is an exclusively American company.
Now, what the Americans can do may
also be effected by the English, French
and German lines, and if the public de-
sire to be spared a repetition of such
appalling gcatastrophes as that connected
with the Vile du Ravre, they will de-
mand that similar provision be made in
all the ships. The RATS are placed on
each side Of the deck under the davits
there is nothing to do in case of emer-
