Widest spirits. Their work had been short
their success, as they supposed, perfect; and
there was money enough now in their posses
sion to give them more than the value of
twelve hundred pounds sterling each. The
great majority of them, in fact, felt literally
unable to tear themselves away from the iron
box, containing twelve millions of sesterces !;
and this division of their number, and conse-
quent diminution of their combatant power.
were the very objects which Paulus had had in
view when separating by SO wide an interval
his two vehicles. Had it become necessary to
defend the one in advance, he felt sanguine
and even certain that he should have had only
part of the enemy to resist, and even this
part would not long continue an attack which
might give their accomplices time to divide
the spoil in their absence
Five men, however, among whom was their
leader, had dashed forth from the mass of
riders to wreak the anger of the moment upon
the scoffer.
Paulus, going at an easy eanter, his face
turned back, saw that they were not coming
on abreast, their chief being the best mounted,
and the four Others struggling after him as if
in race. He pressed Sejanus for about hun
dred and fifty yards, and, finding now that there
was a sufficient interval between tho leading
pursuer and his followers, pulled up abruptly,
and wheeled round.
81 have no need and no WISH" he cried, as
his long rapier flashed above his chargers head
in a wide lateral sweep from left to right, ito
take your life but you shall carry marked
face to your grave"
1t was not very violent cut, but measured
with great exactness, and delivered with half
force. There was blood on the three-edged
sword as it came away. The man yelled. The
next pursuer pulled up in haste to let the
third join him; and in the meantime Paulus,
who had passed the leading robber on that
gentleman's right hand, now made o curve
across the whole road in returning, and few
by him at full speed on the opposite side,
where the poor oaitiff would have had to strike
or thrust across his own bride. He made an
awkward attempt to do the former, but was,
of course, short of his chastiser, who continued
his course until he overlook Cassius Cherias
and the others, still running steadily along the
road.
Here, looking back, he perceived that his
pursuers had given up the chase, and were
using their best speed to join the main body
who (some before and some behind the preci Gus
van) could be seen travelling away in the
distance at vigorous trot.
"stop moment" cried Paulus dismount-
| ing stake breath now"
Aud Cherias, the two decurions, and the
| soldiers all stopped, and gathered round the
young centurion. The four officers burst SIM
ultareously into hearty laugh, and their
mirth rather surprised the grim legionaries,
who conceived that to have just lost twelve
million sesterces of military pay was no laugh
| ing matter.

Listen to me-" cried Paulus to the robbers.
" Time is more precious to you than you are
aware. My men are now safe, and I'll tell you
where the key is But, first, let me advise
those of you who drive the wagon to move on
with it fast; and, if they can leave some of
their comrades behind, they will evidently
have more of what is in the box to divide among
themselves. On the other hand, any one of
you WHO may wish to abandon his share in the
box has only to come out here after me- and so
lose the brief time of security. If no more
than three Of you come out at once, some of
them will doubtless lose something else besides
time; if any greater number come, let them
catch me-"
Cries of " The key the key I" interrupted
him.
The key of that chest" he resumed, lis
lying as far as could fling it in the forrest on
the roadside either to the right or to the left,
not fifty miles from Rome. FAREWELL"
As he said this in a loud voice, he slowly
turned Sejanus, and trotted him in pursuit of
his running companions. Some of the robbers
believed they could find the key upon his per-
son. A shower of javelins followed him, all of
which, except three, missed. One glanced
against the back of his helmet two others
stuck in the small rings of a steel shirt. Al
the same time, the rattle of hoofs behind
warned him that he was pursued. lie turned
half-round on his saddle cloths, exclaiming as
he increased his pace, Right Lose your
part in youder box, which is even now t1ot
ting off. Come with me, my masters, and let
the others have the chest. Come alongw
They did not mean to take this advice, how
ever much they would have desired to punish
him for his trick respecting the key, as well as
for his defiant and jeering tone. In spite of
momsntaTy anger, the great majority of the
freehooters were in excellent .humox and tbo.

The English have been noted the world
over as the most immoderately ill-ted people
of modern times; but unless we improve
upon the methods bequeathed to us by our
so-called Anglo-Saxon ancestors the palm of
bad cooking may eventually be accorded to
us. This remark is more especially applicable
to the cities than to the rural districts In
the country, especially in those parts where
the favorite Anglo-Saxon element is not en-
tirely predominant, all the young girls learn
to cook, if not according to the best methods,
OF least as well as their mothers and grand
mothers before them; and among the Penn
sylvania Germans the ability to cook is the
great charm of o sweetheart and the principal
qualification for wife. But in the towns
and villages even the tendency is to neglect
the kitchen for the parlor. and to give up
cookery for what Hans Breitman calls "biano
blayin'." The tendency is an evil one, and
leaves the American household completely at
the mercy of professional but often igno-
rant and inexperienced cooks. As con-
made the French famous, the family meal
is frequently poor excuse for dinner, and
unless the prevailing tendency be checked
American cookery can only grow worse in
stead Of better. We are losing our taste for
"home made" dishes, and even the English
women are becoming better cooks than Ameri-
can girls. At last we have something to learn
from the English, and in this city we may
copy their National Training School for
Cookery with advantage.
The English Training School, which has
been put in operation in London, is the direct
result of Mr.. Buckmasters lectures IN cook-

General Knox, the Secretary of War, to repair
Immediately to Springfield. ostensibly to pro-
tect the federal magazine at that place. but
really to observe and report upon the rebel
lion. After his return he wrote. in letter to
General Washington:-sThey are de-
termined to annihilate all debts, and
have agrarian laws which are easily
effected by means of unfunded paper money
to be tender in all cases whatever" Thus
it will be seen that the first famous and for
midable rebellion which ever occurred in this
country was by debtor class clamorous for
irredeemable paper money. Let us hope that
history will not repeat itself in this instance.
With Shay Rebellion fresh in the minds OF the
trainers Of the constitution nothing was
further from their thoughts than contested
election cases when they provided for the
protection of the States against domestic vio-
lence.

Two. French aeronauts have recently made
ON interesting experiment in aerial navigation.
The balloon. "Etoile Polaire" was sent up to
ascertain if the respiration Of highly oxygen
lied. Dir would mitigate the suffocating effects
Of high levels and thus enable the aeronaut to
venture beyond attitudes already reached.
This experiment was suggested by the French
physicist de Fonvielle and was made by the
balloonists Sivel and Croce-Spinelli, in an
airship constructed for the purpose. The last
named aeronaut, when he had reached height
of sixteen thousand four hundred feet, was
nearly suffocated; but upon using the
oxygenized-air respirator he soon recovered.
The temperatures encountered, even at this
comparatively moderate level were very low.
At twenty-four thousand six hundred feet
elevation the spectroscopic observations
showed none of the lines which indicate the
presence of aqueous vapor. and the solar rays
were nearly invisible. When not using the
respirator the skies appeared to the observers
quite dark, but when freely respiring the
o1ygenized air the blue color of the heavens
was restored.
In ascending the summit Of one of the
Andean peaks Humboldt was overcome by the
aerial tenuity little over sixteen thousand
feet; but in the Thibetan Himalayas the Ger
man brothers Schlagintweit slept all night
nineteen thousand two hundred feet above tho
sea, and afterward scaled the peak Of the Ibi
Gamin, three thousand feet higher. The effect
of height is felt on most men ct sixteen thou
sand feet or less but varies with their physical
condition and with the circumstances Of alti-
tude to which they hove been accustomed. In
the recent experiment, while the pulse at the
ground was beating eighty-six minute at
sixteen thousand feet the number of beats
rose to one hundred and forty but on bring
ing the oxygenized-air respirator into requisi-
ton the number fell to one hundred and
twenty This fact would show that those who
will venture their lives on the problematic and
perilous air voyage would do well to supply
their balloons with an apparatus for generating
pure oxygen, to be respired if necessary.
NJ. de Fonvielle's experiment has demon
strated nothing further Mr. Glaisher. the
English balloonist, it is claimed, went ten
thousand feet higher than the recent voyagers,
and did not need oxygenized air or experience
any very serious suffocation till nearing thirty
two thousand feet above the sea. The results Of
late ballooning afford, therefore, little or no
encouragement to its votaries, and the perils
80 far have heavily overborne any benefits,
present or prospective, which science can reap
from these Icarian ventures.

cry at the international Exhibition last year.
The school has only been open few weeks,
but the best results were obtained from the
beginning. In the first week alone sixteen
pupils joined the classes, the most gratifying
part of this success being in the fact that the
young women come from every rank and
grade in society. "Side by side in these
classes" says London journal, "may be
seen pretty girls of what is called family and
position, young matrons who declare they had
no idea kitchen work could be SO NICE cooks
anxious to improve themselves, rosy checked
country girls about to take their first
plaoe-an working together with will
and vying as to who shall turn out the most
brilliant copper lid or the most resplendently
clean saucepan" Englishmen at last have
chance of getting something to eat at their
own homes, and we should not be surprised
if after while certificate from the Training
School for Cookery became the most desirable
part of manageable young woman's fortune.
If we had q similar institution in this city its
recommendations would Of a certainty not be
overlooked by our marrying men. Like the
young Dutchman referred to in Mrs. Gibbons
book on the peculiarities Of the Pennsylvania
Mennonists, who had married pretty girl,
an heiress and an expert cook, the metropolis
tan exquisite would be only too happy to be
assured of "good eating at his own house for
q whole lifetime. Let us have q training
school for cookery by all means, for, thought it
may lessen the attractions Of the restau-
rants and the clubs, it cannot fail to contrib
ute immensely toward making domestic lite
charming and home very different thing
from place to go to when there is no other
place available. American girls only need
to learn to cook to become complete house
wives as well as accomplished and beautiful
gentlewomen.

The delay in bringing police officers Leahy
and Doyle to justice causes general dissatisfac-
ton, and the people are asking why the Dis
trict Attorney fails to push on the prosecution.
Above all others crimes committed by agents
of the law should receive swift and condion
punishment. This is a condition necessary
to respect for the law, without which officers
of justice cannot command the confidence
of the public. There is always danger of the
growth of feeling of responsibility among
q body of men intrusted with discretionary
power such as must be given to the police,
and to counteract this natural tendency in
humanity there is needed the strictest disci-
pline, and the knowledge that breaches Of the
law by officials will be promptly and severely
punished To adopt contrary course is to
encourage the growth Of dangerous spirit
in the guardians Of the public peace
and lessen public confidence in a BODY
Of men who should be above suspicion. We
do not expect that a large force like the police
of New York can be permanently freed from
the presence of violent and ill-conditioned
men, but we insist that when such men show
themselves in their true characters that no
attempt shall be made to shield them from the
action Of the law by those charged with it's
administration. Comradeship is all very well
in its way but it ought not to exist between hon.
est men and felons, and, above all, should not
exist between agents Of the law and persons
known to have committed grave crimes. The
mere suspicion that sympathy is felt by the
police for members Of their BODY who have

ance of fair dealing. A few beads, trinkets
and little money are sufficient to obtain all
the cession necessary. 1t is only few years

The American in foreign lands need no longer

HE ENGLISH BUDGET We infer from
what Mr. Gladstone said last evening in the
House of Commons, in commenting upon the
budget introduced by the Disraeh Ministry,
that no serious opposition will be made to the
government plan OF finances. The liberal
party evidently mean to make what is called

broken the law, and that such sympathy acts
as clog on justice, is very damaging. In
deed, no effort should be spared to prevent
the growth of such suspicion, and the cases
of men like Doyle and Leahy ought to be
sent to trial with the least possible delay, in
order to satisfy the public that official oonnec-
ton is never allowed to shield wrong-doer or
influence the course of Justice

seamanship has received severe blow. We

duced upon the public opinion Of maritime
