1t was during the nalmiest days of

it was the fete day of the Emperor, the
last Pickering blaze of its greatness ere
his glory departed forever. AL Paris
knew that he would grace the opera
that night. and add to its usual lustre
the glittering pomp and circumstance
of power. Accordingly all that por

number of francs went to the opera;
and, in honor of SO great an occasion,
Mons. Blauvais, the director, was to
produce LA prophetic"
The overture was over; the Emperor,
accompanied by the Empress, radiant
III lei, beauty and glittering with Jew
els, had just entered the royal box; his
sssit, uniformed in every color of the
rainbow, stood grouped i'll the back
ground. Ii another moment the bell
would tinkie and the opera commence.
But in IN Instant Of time, when every
sound as heard, the second box to the
right of the Emperor was opened, and
the curtains were drawn aside, and re-
ve;sled the lovely wife OF the Russian
Ambassador, Duke Me,zkerwitcll
No wonder that the bell tinkled IN

woman who bad inst taken her seat
and was calmly and with well bred
nonchalance glancing about the house;

The editor of the Louisiana, Mo-,
Press, in relating what he knows about
farming, touches up the hog question
in this style: "To make Berkshire pigs
out Of your hazel splitters, select cool
day, stand them on their hams, tied to
sapling, and drive their nose back
into their shoulders, leaving about an
inch pretruding. If you look at the
agricultural papers, you will see that
all blooded hogs are fixed that way.
If you have any whose nose are longer
than the rest of the body, better sell
them to an artesian well company for
drills, as you cannot drive the nose
back without telescoping the whole
pig"

A secret organization exists in Cuba
not less terrible than the famous Thugs
of InGia. A few days ago five dead
bodies were found in the streets of Ha
vana, each with stab through the
heart. Scarcely morning passes that
the CHASTITY traces Of this secret body
are not discovered. It is terribly
significant fact that in every instance
the victim of midnight assassination
has been spaniard, who was known
to have been conspicuous in the horrible
outrages that have been perpetrated
upon the families of Cuban sympathi-
zers and Of the Masonic fraternity.

What my wild waves saying,
AS the mules walk along the tow path,
Over much business the boatmen delaying. ..
And raising up il them the reverse of slow wrath?
They say to the farmers their herds and their ocks
That am the honest and aged canawl
Who by watering my stocks and rape Of my locks,
Am busy from spring time till late in the fall.
The lake and the river the poets may praise,
And like the high mountains they have attraction
But none upon either can steadfastly gaze
Without saying that give the best satisfaction.

given the name of macrobiotus Oone

after having been frozen. Frogs were
turned into Jumps Office hard as stone,
and deprived of every token of life.
beyond the possibility even of produc
ing the least muscular motion, and on
being thawed they returned to life and
continued to live as if nothing had hap
pened. Dumeril and Preyer were also
very successful with these experiments
1t is well known that several species of
iish may be sent TO any distance frozen.
and that when they are put into the
the water they will shaw and again
live.
Only few attempts at revivifcation
have so far been made with warm
hlooded animals But it is known that
1t is possible to freeze some of them to
q complete cessation Of the movement
OF the heart and of breathing, and 10 a
total loss of the excitability of the
nerves and muscles, and that they can
afterward be revived and made to live
again, at least for a time.
The revival Of plants is much more
generally accepted. This subject pres
ents one fact which is of great impor-
lance, namely, the enormous period OF
time during which plants retain their
vitality. Spallanzani saw nostochacoe
wither fifty times within three months,
and every time, on being sprinkled
with water, regain color and grow.
Bonaventura Corti discovered in 1774
the resurrection Of the dry tremella
through water, and of the frozen ones
through heat. 1t has often been dem
onstrated that seeds may be preserved
for long time without losing their
germinal power. Lefebure saw radish
seed which was seventeen years old
terminate as readily as if it had been
fresh. Voss saw seeds of roses twenty
three years old germinate again Ger.
adm speaks Of mmosa seed that GER
minated alter sixty, and of beans that
terminated after 100 years. De Can,
dole states that Home has seen rye
grow after lao years. An onion found
in the hands of an Egyptiaa mummy
terminated on exposure to the air, and
grew up rapidly on bein G planted
This onion had therefore retained the
power of termination for several thou
sand of years. Count Sternberg raised
from several grains of wheat found in
Egyptian mummies one of the best
kinds of wheat now known. Seeds
found in Roman sarcophagi grew into
plants that subsequently bore fruit
lehy were hsliotropiu.n europieum
medicago lupulina, eentaurea cyanus
and another plant not yet determined.
The seeds must have been 1850 wears
old. It is possible that the grain found
III the stomachs Of prehistoric animals.
the mammoth for example, would grow
equally well On being planted
These facts are sufficient to show
that Psychologists would be justified in
taking up, with confidence in the possi
blity Of reaching important results, the
study Of the laws which control life
and death. 1t Is an unpleasant thought
for any human being that some day he
may be allowed like Paul to turn into
ashes, when a little knowledge On the
part Of his friends might have made
him alive again.
