French Caricatures.

:, A writer says: "The ingenuity of
French caricaturists is proverbial.
Louis Philippe forbade the publication
of caricature portraits of himself, but
he could not prevent the sale of pic
lures OF pears bearing wonderful re-
semblance to his own festures. M.
Theirs attempted the same game as the
Citizen King nnd failed. Unable to
give his features the caricaturists hit
upon the expedient of omitting them
altogether. The effect was most ludi-
crous. Tho other day the Eclipse pub
lished cartoon entitled sThe Gard
ner's Dog. It represented savage
looking mastiff guarding bone at
which three other members of the ca
nine species, black cur, an italian
greyhound, and French poodle, di-
rect their longing gaze. The French
poodle needed no explanation of the
cartoon. They at once perceived that
the mastiff was intended for MacMahon ;
the bone, for the supreme power; and
tho three disappointed dogs for the
Bonapartist. Legitimist, and Orleanist
parties. On the same day Grelot pub
lished cartoon entitled Sour Great
Orators, representing Gambetta,
Theirs, and other leading political ora.

Doctors in Russia.

A night medical service has Just been
organized at st. Petersburg by the med
ical men of that city an arrangement
which meets real want OF the public
of the Russian capital, who, however,
had hitherto not taken the necessary
steps to provide it. Russian medical
legislation does not allow liberty of
work to medical men, who, when re-
quired either by sick person or any
one believing himself to be i'll, are not
permitted to refuse help. Thephysician,
surgeon, accoucheur, midwife OF assist
ant who would either refuse to act when
called on or neglect to do 80 is punished
by fine, on the first occasion of from
five to ten roubles Q8s. Cd. to S5s); on
the second occasion of from ten to fif-
teen, and the third time from so to 100
roubles; while the physicians and sur
geons who are in government employ
may be deprived of their Office. These
laws are sanctioned by usage, and no
later than this year two Russian physi-
clans were tried for an infraction Of this
law, and one OF them condemned for
having refused to afford assistance to ar
invalid during the night. The Courier
Medical Russo, whence we obtained our
information, insists on the necessity of
abolishing these coercive measures d.
rected against medical men; the more
so that at the present time everything
relating to the public health in Russia
is regulated by municipalities in cities,
and by the territorial, cantonal and de-
partmental councils in the provinces.
The same journal also urges that in
England custom no longer sanctions CO.
eicive laws directed against medical
men, while in Prussia they were erased
from the statute-book in 1869.

The New Paris Grand Opera.

Mr.. Forney thus describes the new
Paris opera house: ts It is d world in
itself. The great pile occupies an en-
tire square, as large as that occupied by
our new public buildings. Its main
front, indeed, all its fronts, constitute
q variety of architecture and statuary
beyond description. Inside all these
wonders increase. The space allotted
to the stage, the dressing rooms, rooms
or studios for the artists, reception
rooms. machine shops, with the endless
devices for scenery, seem to be more
than half the entire area and as you
gaze into this mysterious combination,
the auditorium looks comparatively
small, even with it's tier after tier Of
boxes and its sweeping corridors. Some
idea of this immense edifce may be
gathered from the size of the saloon, or
foyer, rectangular hall over 160 feet
long and forty feet high. It is lighted
in the day hy five windows looking into
the boulevard, and in the night by o
bewildering array of chandeliers. In
this saloon the great artist Yaudrey

rors, the lofty and wide-spreading cell
ings, the walls, the very floors, con-
yeyed an idea Of vastness, heightened
by the gorgeous decorations in bronzeB
and gold, in mosaic and fresco, in mar

and foreign yquRrries. I forbear an esti-

Too Much Business.

One of the surprising things in con-
nection with the failure of Jay Cooke g.
Go. is the magnitude of their business.
At the recent trial in Philadelphia MIR.
Morehead, one of the partners of the
firm, testified that Cooke & 90. nego-
tiated for the government 81, $3.50, ,OO0,-
600 in bonds and afterwards bought and
sold $1,000. 900, 900 in addition. In ten
years that firm transacted o business
covering five billions of dollars, a larger
amount than was ever handled in the
fame time by any house in the world.
It would seem that firm having the
handling of 80 much money could have
made enough by its enormous transac.
tions to carry the Northern Pacific
through three weeks panic, if not
enough to build the road. Certainly
most bankers would have rubbed that
small am ount from the coin as it slip
pod through their fingers, and either
the firm was very honest or did bust
ness in a very loose way. Mr.. More
head thinks the house failed from over.
confidence. It had been dazzled by
the enormous sums it handled till a
paltry $4,000, 900 seemed a mere bagn.
telle. 1t is remarkable instance OF
failure from doing too large and prof.
liable business

A Warning Voice.

Judge Edmonds, writing in Brittan's
Quarterly of especial Providences, {"
says: When my young friend DR.
John E. Gray was lad some fourteen
or fifteen years old he was employed in

duty. to attend to the dyeing apparatus,
which was in an adjoining building
His particular business was TO tend the

A Deceptive Advertisement.

A good joke is told OF gentleman
who was 80 charmed with the descrip-
tions of numerous country residences,
which he daily encountered in print,
that he became tired of his own house,
aud determined to sell it. He instruc-
ted an auotioneer, famous for his de-
scriptive powers. to advertise it in the
papers for private sale, but to conceal
its location, telling parsons to apply at
his Office. In few days the gentleman
happened to sec the advertisement, was
pleased with the account of the place,
showed it to his wife, and the two con-
cluded it was just what they wanted,
and that they would secure it at once.
So they went to the Office of the auc.
tioneer and told him the place he had
advertised was suoh one as he desired,
and he would purchase it. The auc-
tioneer burst into laugh, and told
him that it was the description Of his
own house, where he was then living.
He read the advertisement again, and
pondered over the "grassy slopes" !"
"beautiful Villas" smooth lawns"
etc., and broke out, els it possible I?
Well. make ont out your bill for adver-
tising aud expenses, fer, by George, I
wouldn't sell that place now for three

prisoner had made it. Titus pro-
tested that he was an innocent man,
who had been making an evening call.

desperately.

responded Barnaby.
DR.. Curt, calming down his nerves be-
fore retiring with some beautiful little
experiments on fungus tissues, was
startled by the apparition of Barnaby's
face pressed close and white against the
window-pane.

".Tuttle !" snapped the doctor, Tut

was hoarse and the doctor pre-occupied,
and Barnaby took frmer grip upon the
deputy sheriff's door-bell. From an
upper window female voice inquired
what was wanted.

burglar in this lookup" responded
Barnaby.
"Bates is gone, and won't be back till

Titus. .t
a heavy iron key dropped on the
grass, and with the falling key fell
Titus hopes. Then he tried threats,
entreaties, expostulations, offered Bar
naby money. Barnaby loved money,
but he loved Office and money better
and had he not witnessed the disastrous
effects of bribery in high placesP He
bade Titus "put up his gold"
A man never feels SO unrelenting In
the administration Of justice as after
HAVING resisted temptation himself, and
Barnaby closed the iron doors on Titus
without one compassio, ate movement.
There was narrowing lack of "res pom.
siveness" about the lookup. It was
cold, damp and cobwebby. All night,
till the morning light, Rev. Titus paced

make as good use of tho occasion by
