he was never known to swear never using

The Life Of q Female Circus Rider.

A young woman who rides horse.
back in circus has comrhunicat
her biography to reporter of the
Baltimore american, who publishes
its mysteries. She appears, by his
report, to be more refined than Miss
Josephine Sleary and her associates,
in 'shard times" and she certainly
earns a larger salary in a week than
the lady who married the celebrated
Mr.. E. w. B. Childers did in year.
The reporter decribes her as young
pretty girl, with an innocent artless
manner, but with a quiet conscious
ness that she is able to take care of
herself ; dressed very elegantly in a
black velvet basque and silk dress
made in the finest style, and with
very little jewelry about her. She is
the daughter of celebrated circus
rider who was formerly the leading
attraction at Astley's receives one
hundred and fifty dollars a week in

her horse twice had her arm broken
in two places long ago, by fall ; de-
signs all her own costumes and
thinks that French female riders as
class have the most reckless aban-
don, but English women the most
endurance. The reporter inquired if
circus people have any "religious
feelings" and was told in reply that
jumping through hoops did not pre-
vent her from trying to do good,
and that she was q member of a
church and in good standing.

EFFICACY OF PRAYER,

The GildedAge tells how Uncle
Dan'l and chin fast saw Mississip
pi river steamboat. They were sit
ting in row on log in warm
evening telling about spooks, after
the manner of south western negroes,
when Uncle Dan'l said impressively,
''chil'n dars sumin COMM" a
deep coughing sound troubled the
stiiiness, way toward wooded cape
that jutted into the stream a mile
distant. All in an instant a fierce
eye OF fire shot out from behind the
cape and sent long, brilliant path
way quivering athwart the dusky
water. The coughing grew louder
and louder, the glaring eye grew
larger and still larger, glared wilder
and still wilder. A huge shape de-
yeloped itself out of the gloom, and
from its tall duplicate horns dense
volumes of smoke, starred and
spangled with sparks, poured out
and went tumbling away into the
further darkness. Nearer and near.
er the thing came, till its long sides
began to glow with spots Of light
which mirrored themselves in the
river and attended the monster like a
torch-light procession. "Child'n its
de Almighty" said Uncle Dan'l.
"Git down on yo' knees" As the
noise and lights drew nearer Uncle
Danl prayed 80 Lord, we been
mighty wicked, an we knows we
zerve to go to de bad place, but good
Lord, deah Lord, we amt ready yit,
We amt ready-let desc yo' child'n
hab one mo- chance, jes one mo-
chance. Take de old nigger if you's
got to hab somebody. Good Lord,
good deah Lord, we don't know what
you's agwayne to, we don't know
who you's got yo' eye on, but we
knows by de way you's a comm, we
know by be way you's tiltin along
In your charyot that some po' sinner
will cotch it. But good Lord, desc
child'n don't b'long hea, deys from
Ke'kuk whah dey don't know muffin,
un' you knows, yo' own self, dat dey
amt sponsible. o Lord spah de
little child'n, don't Car de child'n
away, I'm dey frens, jes let me off
dis once, en- take il out de ole nigger.
Heah / is, Lord, heah l is de ole
nigger is ready, Lord de ole" Here
the steamers whistle screeched fair
ly in the faces of tho awe strrck
group, and Uncle Danl seizing as
many of the children's hands, as
his own Drawn ones would hold
scoruged off toward the woods.
Looking back they saw the boat was
rounding a point out of sight.
"Well," said the relieved Uncle
Dan'l, "dars some folks dat say der
amt fciency in prah. Dis chile
would like to kno whah weed been
if it warn't TO prah. Dat's it, dat's
it."

The Approaching Transit of Venus.

The coming transit of the planet
Venus is matter OF great impor-
tance to the scientific world. The
phenomenon will occur on the 9th of
December next, and extensive prep
arations are being made tor the OBJ.
servation Of the passage of that
planet across the suns disk. The
last transit visible from the earth oc-
CURED in 1869, and there will not be
another till the year 2O04. By the
the knowledge we possess, as basis
for calculation, it is impossible to
ascertain the earth's distance from
the sun within 800, 900 miles. When
the total distance is about 91,4sO,.
600 miles, as slight q matter as the
distance above mentioned would
seem to be of no particular impor-
tance but variation of forty times
the earth's diameter renders the COM
putations too uncertain to suit sstron-
omers. 1t is expected that the OBJ.
servation, which will be taken next
December, will give margin of only
$4,000 miles open to doubt. As the
transit will OCCUR in the winter, the
base Of observ alton must be located
south Of the equator. Great Britain
will have special stations in the
Sandwich Islands, and in several
other localities. The United States
will have eight parties in the field.
France will occupy three stations.
Russia four or FIVE, and Germany
five. The problem is simply the
familiar geometrical process of con-
structing two sides of a triangle in
order to determine the third.

Ladyhood and Lady Clerks.
Washington Letter. ]

l am acquainted with a lady who
writes Spencerian pages in the pat
ent Office for 5000 a year. Her faith
er was a naval officer Of long and
meritOrious service, and died q rear
admiral. Her husband put $4,000
on the wrong side of the stock scale
in New York, lost, and sneaked to
the hereafter through the back door
of the suicide. Patient ard lovable
she works as steadily as if some
mighty reward was near at hand. I
suppose it is hope on, hope ever,
with her, though nobody can see
anything she has to expect, more
than life OF routine, and a humble
grave. In Paris she would have
flown first to sin, and then the char
coal brazier. In London, it would
have been the Argyle rooms, gin,
and the waters of Blackfriar's bridge.
As you pass the tables of the
ladies in the treasury building you
are moving among better materials
for romsnces than exist in the TEEN.
ing brains of Hugo or Turgenieff.
"You see the second woman to your
left," whispered Spinner. "Her
father was once at the head of two
railroads. The '57 panic laid him
out. She married Baden baron,
and he left her in year or two for
some Dutch flame. She has noble
little boy five years old nov. Says
she is going to fit him for Harvard,
by and by, and then make senator
Of him. Watch her count that mon.
ey. You cannot move your fingers
up and down in the air as fast as she
brushes off the single notes. Never
did days work of any kind until
she came here"
All honor to the lady clerks at
Washington for aiding the strongest
proof yet given of woman's power to
lose friends and fortune and still re-.
tain virtue and independence. The
black sheep are few in this admira-
BILE flock, and while tolerated, are
understood and rated according to
their respective shadings. God
bless the multitude of faithful work
ers who are showing each day how
possible it is for them to earn their
their own living, and yet remain cul.
tured, respected ladies.

Language of the Clouds.

The color of the sky at particular
times afford wonderfully good evil
dence. Not only does rosy sunset
presage fair weather and ruddy sun
shine, but there ere other tints which
speak with equal clearness or accur-
acy. A bright yellowish sky in the
evening indicates wind, a pale yell
10y, wet, neutral gray color consti-
tutes favorable sign in the evening
and an unfavorabIe one in the morn
ing, The clouds are fell of meaning
in themselves. If their forms are
soft, undefued and feathery, the
weather will be 6ne. If the edges
are hard, sharp and definate, 1t will
be foul. Generally speaking, any
deep, unusual lines betoken wind
and rain, while the more quiet aud
delicate tints bespeak fair weather.
