Very Naughty Tricks.

A custom has long prevailed among
the young gentlemen of Oxford Col
lege, England, OF making themselves as
intensely disagreeable as possible on
commemoration day, and of proving
that, if they are not rufians, they know
how to play the part OF roughs. J."
Year after year commemoration has
been made the occasion OF a riot un.
equaled in any other university under
heaven. The undergraduates of Edin-
burgh are pretty good at this sort OF
thing, but they can't hold candle to
"young Oxford" To-day, says a
writer, these young gentlemen, who are
the cream of the cream of the rising
generation of England's aristocracy,
outdid themselves in showing how ex-
actls like ruffians gentlemen can be-
have. I don't deny that there was some
fun in their rudeness, but they spoiled
all the fun by their excessive rowdy-
ism. They completely filed the gal
leries, and during the hour which
passed between the opening of the doors
and the beginnieg of the proceedings
on the stage they amused themselves
by pelting the people in the pit with
pellets of paper, peas shot from pop
guns, and pennies. Now an English
penny weighs a third of an ounce, and
when hurled from an elevation with all
the force of a strong arm it may inhict
an ugly wound. The young gentlemen
seemed to entertain violent dislike to
bald heads, and when they spied one in
the pit beneath them they bombarded
it with showers of pennies. 1 saw more
than one gentleman bleeding from the
wounds thus given and compelled to re,
treat. The undergraduates had also
come armed with bags full of oranges,
and these they threw at every unhappy
individual who had the temerity to APP
pear with blue or red necktie. Eye
glasses were an abomination unto
Them, and q gentleman who appeared
with one over his eye was peremptorily
ordered to remove it being slow il
compliance, he was greeted with {
shower of peas and pennies, which rat
tied over his head and struck him il
the face. There was some fun in thu
adiurations addressed to the Dom
whose duty it was to escort the ladie
to their seats. AS they performed thi
duty they we're greeted with shouts
Don't you squeeze her hand !
"Your wife has got her eyes upol
you - 81 see you'll "I'll tell Bets,
Jane, and then won't there be row I
The ladies themselves were not pelted
but they did not escape comment. Fac
of them whose personal charms O.
whose attire pleased the gods in tn
galleries was welcomed with cheers
"The lady in red," the sweet crea
ture with the white bonnet" imam
mas pet in pink" all received thei
need of applause, and did not seem t
be disconnected by it. All this wa
carried on amid an indescribable nois
of hooting, shouting, grooming
stamping, singing, and cheering
There were groans for Gladstone
cheers for Disraeli, fearful groans fo
the Lord Mayor Of London, and
round of cheers for Hing Coffee, who's
umbrella, gorgeously decorated, wa
let down by string from the CALLER
: and dangled over the heads of the pee
pie in the pit. Mr.. Bright's name VIZ
often heard and as often greeted wit
tempests of groans.

Marshal de la COncha, of Spain.

Manuel de la Concha, killed in the
battle with Carlists, before Estella, wGs
a brother of Captain General Concha,
of Cuba. He was born in Madrid in
1894, being eighty years of age at the
Tins of his death. His brother is
seventy-six. Both the Conchas have
been soldiers all their lives, Manuel
fighting his first battles in resisting the
campaigns Of Napoleon. Subsequently
he assisted in the attempt at subiu-
eating the South American colonies,
and against Don Carlos in Spain. He
was partisan of Maria Christiana and
Isabella, and supporter of the Espar-
tero and Narvaez. At that time he rep
resented Cadiz in the Cortes. In 1843
he was commandant of Valencia and
Murcia, and in 1874, Captain General
of Catalonia. In all these offices he
showed energy and ability, so that in
the complications with Portugal, in
1847, he was intrusted with the com
mand of an army of 5000 men, with
which he captured Oporto and earned
his title Of the Marquis of Douro. Ii
the same year he escorted Maria Chris
tina to Paris. Returning to Madrid he
resumed his seat in the Cortes, and
was conspicuous as an ultra conserva-
tive partisan. Subsequently he was
again appointed CAPTAIN General o.
Catalonia. In 1858 he joined with
ODonnell and Bravo Murillo in the
famous protest against the government
and in consequence he was banishet
from Spain in January following. Dur
ing his exile he resided in Paris !; bu
the revolution of July, 1854, enabled
him to return to Madrid. He was the1

Marshal, but when Narvaez again cam,
into power he was compelled to relin

cavalry tactics which is used in all tn
schools and colleges in Spain. Blu
that he was more than a teacher of mil

Financial Art.

An American artist tells this story of
a fellow-ceuntryman who interviewed
him in one of the italian galleries
American Oh, I am SO glad. Let
me ask you some questions. I have
been buying pictures. Can you tell
me whether or not I have been cheated !?
They are about so large" (holding his
hands in vaIious positions to indicate
the different sizes), "and cost go much "
(naming the price of each). EDO you
think paid too much ?"
The artist being unwilling to disturb
his equanimity, replied that it depended
good deal on circumstances, but he
thought it most likely he had not paid
more than was right.
Gone more question, Mister" he ex-
claimed, anxiously, as the artist was
about to resume his work. "Do you
think " Cleaning over him and speaking
in lower tone), edo you really think,
Mister, that these Eyetallians put good
materials in their pictures ?"

The SailOr.ROY.

Never had sailor-boy, says the Lon
don Daily Ne,Os, shorter spell of life
adoat than poor little Henry Hayward,
who shipped from the Goliath training
vessel last Monday morning, and was
dead and gone on Monday evening.
The lad had come aboard his barque,
the River Clyde, to make first voyage,
and had sailed round the North Fore.
land with her from Gravesend. Enter
ing the Downs, he was sent aloft to help
furl sail, and while engaged in that
task he fell from the masthead, and,
fracturing his skull upon the deck,
died instantly. So ended, almost be-
fore it had begun, the maritime career
to which, no doubt, the poor lad had
looked forward With oil q boys delight.

High Life Abroad.

In our impression of yesterday, says
a Glasgow, Scotland, paper, we chroni-
cled a rumor to the effect that a certain
titled lady has lost e100, 900 at ecarte,
and that this will neeessitate the sale Of
a large portion Of her husbands land,
and the retirement of both from this
country for few years. Apart alto
gether from the moral reflections which
naturally suggest themselves on the
evils of gambling, such glazing case
as this leads one to speculate why the
law should make the property of a
women inyiolate from her husband,
while man is legally and in honor
bound to pay such a heavy stake for
the disastrous frivolity of his wife.
This solitary instance revealsa sad state
of affairs, and it is painful to think OF
the domestic misery, beyond the mere
loss, which it entails. Men of honor
would hardly, under the circumstances,
demand or accept the payment of the
debt incurred. On the other hand,
neither could man of honor shrink
from meeting such claim.

No MUsIo.-A recent traveller says |:
What always impresses me more than
anything else in Egypt and Palestine
has been the entire absence of cheerful
and invigorating music, especially from
the children. You never hear them
singing in the huts. I never heard a
song that deserves the name in the
streets or houses of Jerusalem. One
heavy burden of voiceless sadness rests
upon the forsaken land. The daughters
of music have been brought low. The
mirth of the tabor ceaseth, this noise of
them that rejoice endeth; the Joy of
the harp ceaseth

Iceland Women.

In one regard the women of Iceland
have obtained complete equality than
the sisters in Continental Europe. They
receive exactly the same education
as the men do. There are no schools
in the islands, naturally as families live
mostly dozen miles apart, and in
struction is therefore given by the
father to his sons and daughters alike
and together, the priest-where there
is priest-sometime adding little
Latin or Danish. Thus the girl learns
all her parents can teach her, and is as
good an arithmetician and as familiar
with the Sagas as her brothers. Accom-
plishments, of course, are pretty well
out of the question; painting, not only
from the difficulty of procuring materi-
ais, but because there is really nothing
to paint dancing, because you can
seldom gather sufficiently large
party, and have no rooms big enough
instrumental music, on account of the
impossibility of transporting piano
over rocks and Dogs on the back of q
pony. Nevertheless, we found in O
remote house "a good wood house, by
the way,) upon the coast, where W.

and night, not only piano, but severa

Winning Golden Opinions,

Perhaps no man living has won more
golden opinions than DR.. Walker, as
the enormous and widely increasing
sale of his CALIFORNIA VINEGAR Buffers
attests. We never look into one of our
exchanges, but there is panegyric of
the Bitters staring us in the face. Our
readers will say that there must be
reason for all this praise. They are
right. The efficacy of this celebrated
medicine is established by evidence
which it is impossible to doubt Among
the thousands who have borne testi-
mony to its excellence, there is not one
dissentient voice. In very many phases
of inorganic disease it seems to be un-
failing. All diseases arising from a
yitiated state of the blood are surely
eradicated by it. 1t is an effectual
remedy for pulmonary. complaints,
bilious, remittent and intermittent fe-
vers, rheumatism and dyspepsia. 1t
purges the body of all unhealthy hui
mors, gives tone to the system, and,
where the vital powers are enfeebled,
restores their functions to vigorous and
healthy action, All this it does the
more effectually because its operation
is not interfered with by the presence
of alcohol. The VINEGAR B1TTERs is
perfectly free from any such hurtful
Ingredient. We have always believed
that plants contain the true remedies
for disease, and all the remedies neces,
sary. DIR. Walker is on the line of rea
progress, and we hope that he will moi
rest on his present discoveries.-Con'.

A Terrible Experience.

A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican says cat one of our
quiet summer resorts, recently, lady
of delicate physique was complaining
that for years she had been unable to
sleep without taking some narcotic.
Those who heard the remark were at
first tempted to condemn her for having
frittered away her strength in the
pleasures of society, until her story,
quietly and modestly told, showed that
she had been through scenes of trial
and suffering that might affect the
stoutest. The wife of United States
naval officer, it was her fate few years
since to be on her way to join her hus-
band at some port on the Pacific coast
of South America at the time of the
great earthquakes and tidal waves, that
were so destructive to life and property
upon that coast. Her ship had but just
dropped anchor in Peruvian harbo1
when tidal wave came that wrenched
her from her mooring, and swept hel
over cliff forty feet high into an inner
harbor, while before the eyes of oul
heroine, who was seated on the deck,
the populous city fell down as if the
block creation of a child. Fortunately
the ship, unlike it's compeers in the
harbor, which were many of then
dashed to pieces, had steam enough W
to get out to sea with the recedine
wave, though dry land seemed to pur
sue her for space in the refux. Pro
ceeding down the coast that night
town after town was found to have beer
swallowed up by the earthquake. How
for weeks this woman in a strange
land, where she did not speak thu
language, sought her husband, no
knowing whether he was alive or dead
and how he at distant port longed ant
prayed for and at last found her whel
she had almost given him up; HOY
they met soon to part, as he was agail
called away for months-here is them
for novelist. The nervous strain OF
each has left ineffaceable marks OF
their lives. Is it any wonder that ever
in the soothing influence of this glori
GUS sea air sleep comes but slowly t.
eyes that never close but to see picture,
anew the great rush inland of might
ocean and to hear the crashing of ston
and timber and the shr1eks of despair
ing humanity as great city is swal
lowed up in earth to 'the music @
many waters ?"

Singular Taste.

One of the most singular freaks of
the crazy-headed little mare, Goldsmith
maid, during her farm life, was habit
she had of taking a monthly trip
through the country. About once a
month, no matter how high the en-
closure, she would break from her pas
ture and go sailing over the neighbor-
ing farms, leaping and flying over
fences, bitches, stone walls and streams
through fields of growing crops,
meadows, woods and pastures, up steep
hills and down, until making a circuit,
generally about six miles, she would
finally land in the field from which she
started, behaving herself afterwards in
a steady manner, for her, until the next
run. The time that she would be out,
during these trips, was generally about
forty minutes, A few stops by the way,
to have little gossip with her neigh
bors, probably accounted for the time
being so long.
