Norway and Sweden.

An esteemed correspondent, now travel
ling in Northera Europe, remarks as fol-
ows: "Neyer could more dissimilar ma
tions be united under one government than
Norway and Sweden. Norway clings with
the most absurd tenacty to old things and
old why's Of doing them, while Sweden is
ready to advance with the rest of the world
The difference appears strikiugly on the
line of railroad between Christiana and
Stockholm. The road is about 400 miles
long. Of which say 100 are in Norway and
800 in Sweden. The timo for express
t:ains is about 20 hours. OF this, some
thing like 8 hours is taken for the Nor
wegian 100 miles. leaving 12 hours-real-
ly only IL hours--for the Swedish 300
miles, or II miles against % miles per
hour. But the most Of the travel in Nor
way is by the very old fashion of c,rrioles
and post horses, the principal roads-un-
der government care-being in good or
der and the speed averaging, with push,
six or seven miles per hour. The Amer
ican Consol in Christiana-wh which is the
only live part Of Norwsy--is trying hard
to get our mowers and respers into use
there, though thus far with Indifferent sue
cess. In Sweden, these things are being
taken hold Of With something like freedom.
The Swedes are, evidently, contriviug
and mechanical people. and in such things
very much in advance of their ueighbo,s.
They are just the kind Of people to be at
home in America, and the very best kind
of people America could have. In both
countries, as well as in Great Britain, l
heard the loudest kind Of lamentation over
the great emigration to America. Lack of
laborers causes strikes and high prices.
they say, and reduces the means of the old
countries and the values at the same time
Land, generally, seems to have touched
its highest point everywhere on this side
the ocean, and to be falling with no little
rapidity, and with an ever diminishing
number of purchasers. OF course speak
generally and most particularly. What
shall we do absut it seems to be an ab-
sorbipg question, in each Of the countries
through which have passed. The story
Of success in America fsws back from ev-
cry pen; and these who remain, having
friends who have gone before, are in near
ly every case anxious only to get away
themselves"

A Nervous Officer.

A good story has been told Of Iisping
officer in the United States Army having
been victimised BY brother officer (who
was noted for his cool deliberations and
strong nerves), and his getting square
With him in the following manner. The
cool joker. the captain, was always quiz-
sing the lisping officer. the lieutenant, for
his nervousness.

snce Of bis company, nervousness is all

"Well," inquired his lisping friend,
"how would you do, Impose shell With

The party broke up. and all retired ex-

came the lispiug lieutenantg Lasily open
ing his eyes, he remarked:

morning, and thee how extheedingly ceol
you can be-"
Saying this he walked deliberately into
the Captains quarters. where u FIRE was
burning on the hearth. and placed in its
hottest center powder canister, and in
stantly retreated. There was but one
mode of egress from the quarters, and that
was upon the parade grounds, the road be-
ing built up for defense; the occupant took
one look at the canister, comprehended his
situation, and in moment dashed at the
door, but it was fastened on the outside.
Charley, let me out if you love me"
shouted the captain. ~
"Thpit On the canither," shouted he, in
return.
Not a moment was to be lost; he had
at first snatched up blanket to cover bis
egress, but now, dropping it, he raised his
window and out be bounded sans culottes,
sans everything but a very short under

end, he dashed upon full parade ground
The shout which hailed him brought out
the whole barracks to see what was the
matter, and the dignided captain pulled a
sergeant in front Of him to hide himself.

the lieutenant

captain.
"All l got to thay, then, it'll" said the
lieutenant, "that you might have thafely

A Famous Hill.

Situated in Anne Arundel county, Md
distant about four miles from Baltimore
and near the old Annapolis road, is a spot
knewn as Morris hill. but there are few
persons now living who know of the origin
Of its name. About ninety years ago, ac-
cording to local tradition, when it was
the custom Of every gentleman to have his
valet, wealthy Englishman, accompanied
by his English servant, started from Annap-
oils for Baltimore, the journey to be made in
carriage. One fine afternoon the En-
glishman ordered his valet, whose name
was Morris, to turn the horses into beau
tiful grove near the road and shave him
ere he entered Baltimore, the master be-
ing desirous Of presenting as neat an ap-
pearance as possible upon his entree into
the city. The valet did as ordered but
instead of shaving bis master he murdered
him by cutting his throat. lie then
stripped the body Of its clothing. after
which the corpse was placed under the
trunk of fallen tree and covered up with
brush wood and leaves. The valet then
secured large amount Of money and val
uables which had belonged to his master
and came on to Baltimore.
A few days after the murder a farmer
living near by whore the deed Of blood
bad been committed had his attention at
tracted by a large number of buzzards that
flew in circle over one particular spot.
and upon investigating the cause he was
Mortified to find the multilated body which
had been concealed under the fallen tree.
The farmer Immediately made known his
discovery to the proper authorities, and in
due time the body was recognized. Nor
ris was arrested and gibbeted.
In those days the law required
that all persons gbbeted should be left
suspended on the scaffold until the flesh of
the criminal had either been consumed by
carnivsrous birds or destroyed by decom-
position. Such was the fate Of Morris.
He was executed upon the spot where he
had slain bis master. and from that day to
this the place has been known as morris
Hill."

There we're two seats in the car turned
so as to face each other. One was oceu-
pied by lady and the other by a China
man. Evidently the lady did not relish
the presence of the Chinaman. She ex-
planned to him that she wished to take the
cushions and their frames and place them
length wise across from seat to seat
John said "all rightee," and got out in
the aisle, and she proceeded to lie down
on the bed thus improvised. with her
head resting on her valise She supposed
that the Chinamas would take the hint
that the lady wanted to rest in the space
usually occupied BY four persons. But
John at once proceeded to crawl 10 end
stretched himself by her side, with his
head on little bundle of his own. The
Chinese are an initiative race, and like to
do as others do, you know. The lady, MS
soon as she discovered that she had a
bedfsllow. got up little wildly, and
started for the next car. to the infinite a.
,nusement Of the passengers. who had
been watching the scene with some inter-
