"DOn't Wake My Mother"

Among the passengers by the westward
bound emigrant train, which arrived
yesterday, was Mrs. w. S. Crediford,
an aged lady from Alfred, Maine. Poor,
feeble and alone, she left her home to
cross the Continent on an emigrant train,
TO see her children residing in this State.
Two grown daughters awaited her at San
Jose, and her son had gone up to meet
her. He found her worn out with the
fatigues of the protracted journey in a
comfortless emigrant car and very weak.
About o'clock in the evening she re-
clined her head on her sons shoulder and
fell asleep there. Just after the train
left San Leandro, gentleman, who had
got on the train at that place, noticing
something peculiar in the attitude and
appearance of the old lady, approached
her son and inquired, "What is the mat
ter with that ladyT' "Hushp replied
the young man, 'don't wake my moth
er." "No fear" said the gentleman,
"she will never wake again in this
world" He was right. Quietly leaning
on the breast of her son, the poor old
lady had yielded to fatigue and peace
fully fallen into a slumber from which
she passed into that deeper sleep that
neither knows waking nor weariness.
The emigrants composed her limbs to
rest, and brought the body to this city
for the bereaved children.-Sdn Francisco

A LilliputlOn Kingdom.

A Calcutta correspondent sketches the
life led by the ex-King of Dude, ut his
little court on the banks of the HoOgley
The retired monarch is still a pensiOner
of the British Government, receiving
about $500, 900 month, the entire sum
of which he employs in maintaining a
nothing, and seldom seems free from a
royal craving for money. His mimic
kingdom consists of large estate, which
is magnifcently fitted up and provided
with all manner of conveniences. His
subjects are in all about six thousand,
and devoted to him. His court is perfect
in form. His officers of state, as he calls
them, have their title and gradations as
those who went before them had in Dude.
His menagerie is the finest in the world,
and contains twenty thousand birds,
beasts and snakes, and eighteen thousand
birds of every variety and color. In adj
dition to two married wives he has one
hundred and forty-one mistresses, and
also living family of thirty-one sons
and twenty-five daughters. He spends
his days in his menagerie, and in draw
ing. painting, and writing poetry. His
ex-Majesty's evenings are spent among
musicians and dancing girls. One of his
four principal houses is selected for the
day, and there he passes the night. Every
avenue to the palaces is guarded grimly,
and woe to the person who attempts to
break the guard. All this cannot be main
tained without lavish expenditure. The
grounds are beautifully kept, and employ
three hundred gardeners and in fact, the
King maintains little town, providing
the elite with its choice amusements, and
the whole town with amusements of some
sort, as well as giving them the means Of
living.

He is about forty-seven years of age,

having many friends and few, if any
enemies. Among the brethren of the

The Ignorant Man Who Rescued Corsets.

The advantage of the corset is that it
distributes the pressure of the strings and
bands over larger surface, and so this
pressure is not so soon fatal. Well, four
years ago, the evils of this pressure had
become 80 apparent, and 30 much had
been said about the better way of sup
porting the clothing on the shoulders,
that corsets seemed to be in danger of a
discard when, who would you suppose
came to its rescue? Not the mantua-
makers, who could not fit dress without
them; not the women who wore them
selling them, nor the wealthy firms who
coined it by making them, but William
Draper, professor of physiology, esteemed
the highest authority on physical causes
which mold the race. He wrote two
elaborate orticles, which appeared in the
Galaxy - always wondered that
Harper's Bazaar and Godey's Lady's Book
did not at once engage him as regular
contributor - and, in these articles,
taught distinctly, specifically and earn
estly, that the only proper point in the
female figure on which to support cloth
ing is the hips, just as the shoulders are
in the male, because women do not
breathe below the diaphragm, and men
do Ye gods and William Draper How
| did stare, and read and re-read these |
fateful articles, in which saw the death
warrant of thousands! He elaborated |
and illustrated his opinion by specifying
that weight on the petty shoulders of
women would drag them down, and
crush the lungs placed under their pro-
lection. He did not explain what kind
of hinge a woman's shOulder-bones are
hung upon which permits this dangerous
descent, or in what particular the bones
in mans shoulder differ from those in
a woman's; but he urged the propriety
and healthfulness of pressure around
woman's body by quoting the belt, or
girdle, worn by gladiatOrs: the Scripture
phrase, "Gird up your loins J" as pre-
paratory to hard work; the custom of
athletes and blacksmiths IN drawing a
band tightly around the body, below the
ribs, when about to make unusual
exertion. He urged the retention of the
present style, on the ground that it cor
responded with the costume of women in
ancient Greece, where, he assumed, the
clothing was all supported on the hips
by girdle, on which he held the corset
to be a vast improvement. In short,
this great physical scientist wrote out
most elaborate certificate of masculine
ignorance in what most concerns the
physical well-being of women-a certii-
cate as full, explicit and conclusive as
that since given by DR.. Clarke in his
Sex in Educations as full of
physical ignorance as Goldwin Smiths
Female Suffrage" is of mental and
moral darkness.-lrs. Jane q. StUisshelm.

old man up in Connecticut who had
poor, cranky bit of wife, who, regular

invited the family to see her die. She
gave away her things, spoke her last
words, made her peace with heaven and
then about eight O'clock she got up in
the usual way, and disappointed every
body by going at her household duties
as if nothing had happened. The old
man got sick of it finally, and went out
and got a coffin, real nice. cashmere
shroud, wreath of immortelles with
Farewell Mary Ann" worked in, and
handful of silver plated screws: Lay
ing the screw-driver beside the collection,
he invited her to just hollor die once
more. "Do it," said he, and in you

How the Seas are Sailed.

Many people imagine that ocean water
is naturally salt, and will be surprised to
know that the salt comes from rocks, and
is washed into the sea.
The sea depends on the disintegration
of rocks on land for its saltiness. 1t does
not originate in oceans and seas. Rains
wash it and hold it in solution as particles
are liberated by violence, decomposition
and gradual action of many natural
forces. All streamlets and rivers, there
fore, are constantly transporting salt to
the sea. If there is more than can be
held in solution, then it accumulates in
masses at very deep points, which, in the
revolution to which matter is subject,
may again be stratum of salt somewhere
remote from where the mass was formed.
Thus the salt mines of Portland, and the
vast horizontal bed ofpure salt in Texas,
as well as that mountain of rock salt in
st. Domingo, were collected at the bot
tom of ancient seas, which are now dry
land, remote from water.
There are places in Africa where the
process of disintegration of salt from
rocks is regularly going on, but there is
not water power enough to force it on
ward to the sea. Hence the particles are
spread abroad and mixed with the soil.
The negroes of Kalliul, in northern
Africa, having distribution where there
is no water to dissolve it in the ground,
leach it. In that way they separate the
salt. BY evaporating the water holding
it in solution, an excellent article for
domestic purposes is produced. Salt
Il Il al. -. n.
grasses and most vegetable products on
which animals feed. In that way they
derive enough in most countries to meet
the demand of their natures. They
require as much as civilized humanity.
With them salt is necessary, as with our
selves, for keeping the organs of vision in
good condition. Stop the supply, and
blindness would be universal.
