SAN FRANCISCO, September 1.-The steam

Japanese adhere TO their determ' nation not
TO be driven into wBr with China, except as

their present negotiations is pacific, but so
mPny influences ara operating against them
that they feel the necessity OF fully pre-
pa ing themselves.
To this end large bodies OF troops have
been rssembled in certain southern ports,
ready for instant departure in case of need.
and several large steamers have been added
to the uduspoIs fleet. General Legendre,
who sailed for China II for night ago to con-
tinue the peaceful negotiat 'ons commenced
IN Formosa, was arrested by United States
officials OH lauding at Annoy.
1t is not known whether he viii be tenn

shmeut at the news of his seizure Is chiefly
caused by tho fact that the amicabie charac

for many yeas been more hopelessly

A Stratagem On the Scaifold.

A Paris correspondent relates the fol
lowing story about the great grandmother
of the Polish Prince Lubomirski, who
writes so cleverly and chatters so inces-
sanity" "This unfortunate Princess
remained in Paris during the Reign of
Terror, imagining that her foreign ma
tionality would save her from the gull
lotine. The unhappy lady, who was very
beautiful, made mistake. She had been
the intimate friend of Princess Lam
belle, and was arrested on groundless
suspicion Of being in correspondence
with the Austrian Government, and hur
ried off to execution on the day follow
ing that which saw Madame Roland
perish. Princess Lubomirski had one
little daughter, whom she wished to en-
brace before she died A faithful nurse
brought the child in her arms, and, at
the risk of her own life, TO the very foot
of the scatlold. The wretched mother,
wishing that her little one should be
recognized in after years by the Lubo-
mirski family, and not being allowed to
write to them, imagined the following
means Of identifying her orphan daugh-
ter: STOPPING down, she dipped her
finger in the blood Of victim who had
just persisted and wrote these words in
big letters on scrap of her Linen: The
child with the letters l.. b. scratched on
her arm is my daughter, Princess Lubo-
mirski' Then taking pin she scratched
the initials on the arm of her child, en-
braced it, and few moments afterward
laid her head under the knife The
nurse, when the Reign Of Terror was
over, took the child to Poland, where,
being recognized by her mothers family,
in the course of years she married her
cousin, Prince Ladislas Lubomirski.
The present Prince has often seen the
initial scar on his grandmother's arm.
The old lady only died few years ago"

OUR VILLAGE.

Along the old accustomed paths with musing
steps we go,
The green trees arch above our heads, anu every
branch we know;
The meadow has its tale for US, the lane Its stored
hour, :, .s =;
every flower.
The head stones by the grassy graves bear old
Each. a. we glance them idly DER, its fash Of
memory claims;
There, a sweet touch of pathos wakes, here low
ing laughter tells,
On some quaint, long-recorded trait the reused
remembrance dwes.
The little child that gazes up, with wide blue
wistful eyes, :.
Unconscious of what charm for us IN their soit
luster lies
Will answer with her mothers smile, or In her
fathers voice,
And in the accent of whose ring our hearts can
still rejoice.
The cottage doors shut that nee closed to our
steps ofyOre,
Beside the evening hearth they talk of us and
no more.
oh, sad and strange, and hard it seems, there are
so few to greet
As slow and silently we trace the winding village
street
Yet halfforgotten we stand, amid the haunts
of youth,
The golden past asserts for its strength of love
and truth;
Though other pathways WOO us now, and other
Blooms may bless,
The home that childhood's halo crowned claims
separate tenderness.
An the Year Round.

"A verdant bridegroom in city hotel,
reports the New York Mat, called the
waiter to him at dinner, put his finger to
his lips, and made noise between his
teeth Indicative of profound silence,
the blushing bride doing the same. The
waiter stared. The bride and bridegroom
repeated the noise in a louder manner
than ut first, and thus caused the other
guests at the table to cease conversation
and gaze inquiringly toward them. Here
the head waiter came up, and to him the
subordinate remarked that he evidently
had drunken or crazy man to wait upon.
"What do you want? What do you mean
by making that noise?" asked the head
waiter. THUNDER" yelled the BRIDE

so happened that the idol's fond parent
hadn't been reading up much of late
and wasn't very well posted. So when
he entered the parlor between eleven and
twelve O'clock and made some remark
about his gas bills being already very
large, and the s. SIS. lover tried to cX-
plain that they were waiting for the
eclipse, there was trouble. Eclipse!"
said the cnraged parent; /" Eclipse! Young
man, am too old to be tri1ed with"
and when he took the youth by the coat
collar, conducted him TO the door, and
planted his pedals right under the points

fate had accomplished her worst; but if
that were so fate had not consulted Ma.

young lady to propose, with much art.

Miss Mason at that flung wide the door,
pushing Mr.. Messeps ahead, who made a
step forward and recoiled. The uncar.
peted floor, the poor little bed, the few
chairs, were heaped with piles of what
is called shop-work. Miss Harriet (t
was her night--that is, the night on
which she was always seen attired in the
gray dress) stood amazed in the center of
the floor. Before the sewing-machine, in
calico sack and skirt, with sleeves rolled
to the elbow, sat Jennie, in the middle
of long seam. AT the silence that fol-
lowed the opening Of the door she looked
up, saw Mr.. Messeps recoiling, her sis
ters " struck" face, Matildas malicious
eye, the embarrassment of the other girls,
comprehended it on the instant and came
forward.
Yes" she said, ait is true. We live
in this room. We are only allowed the
use of the parlor by our landlady, who
desires it should be supposed there is but
one family in her house; and we earn
our living by this sewing. But we are
very glad to see you. Harriet, dear,
give them chairs. You will excuse me;
this is my sisters company night, for we

A Heroine Of the Commune.

The following was related to me yester-
day of noble woman whose name should
live in history. She, together with her
lover, a young surgeon, had taken care OF
the wounded Communists during the
days and nights of their fierce fighting
with the Versailles troops. Upon the
entry Of the latter into the city, when
excitement was at its height and when
every one suspected of completely with
the Commune was shot without ques-
ton being !, sked, the surgeon was ar
rested and br, 'ght before the drum-head
tribunal in TIN place du Chatelet His
life trembled for me moment in the bal
ance, but was finally saved by the inter-
cession of one of the Judges present,
who was an intimate friend of the ac-
cused. AS the latter was being led from
the room he met the woman whom he
loved, who had helped him in the care of
the wounded, and who was now accused
Of the same crime as himself had been.
Good God, Mariew he exclaimed, care
you here, tvo?" The woman took the
whole scene in at a glance, saw the
danger into which she would plunge her
lover should she recognize him, and drew
herself up coldly, saying: You are
mistaken, sir."-New York Epcrang Post.
