Among the sufferers by the floods in LO

Among the sufferers by the foods in Lou
lsiana are many members of the order OF
Patrons of Husbandry, or Changers, as they
are generally known. The Secretary of the
State Grange of Louisiana, Mr.. N. D. Wet
more, whose address is New Orleans, has
been active in procuring relief from the
North and West for those who have been
driven from their homes by the overflow
1t is creditable to him that in an appeal to
Northern Oranges for help he has said that
the money contributed would be distributed
among all sufferers without regard to their
having any utilization to the order which he
represents, and it is creditable to the order,
that this notification has met with general
approval among the Changers.

The London Post says an unfortunate mis-
take was committed at the civic reception
in honor of the Gar, which led to some
what painful results. When the Corps
Diplomatique sought their appointed places
ut the banquet in the Council Chamber, the
Ministers Plenipotentiary were informed
that they had no right to be in that cham
Der, and, on their demonstrating, some IN
temperate officials threatened them even
with expulsion. In consequence, the repre-
sentativts of several important nations
quilted the banquet, and, although explana-
tons were offered while they were waiting
for their carriages, they felt too much
offended to return to scene where they
had met with such unfortunate humilia-
ton. For some other places had been va
Gated by the English Court functionaries,
and this civility alone saved the banquet
from being abandoned ty the Ministers en-

his professional capacity. uses microscopic
pencil, with which he writes upon his left

the meaning Of the text; then she became ac-

Big Guns In England.

The fancy for imm. nse pieces of ordnance
which increasingly prevails in Europe, par
ticularly in England, is complained OF by
rational economists as absurd and costly.
Two years ago, what was designated 1.-The
WOolwich. Infant," weighing more than
thirty-five tons, was considered wonder,
and supposed to have reached the limits OF
gun growth. Now set of colossal success
sors will reduce the aforesaid Infant" to
comparative insignifcance. The future iron
clad Inflexible is to have an armament Of
four of these gune, if, when completed, they
stand what is called the proving" The
new cannon is to weigh eighty-one tons
total length n feet, length Of bore "a feet,
and the calibre to be IA to IL inches, as may
be preferred. The projectile will probably
range between 1000 pounds and 1900 pounds,
and the quantity of powder contained in the
cartridge will be One-sixth the weight Of the
projectile.
The Engineer, an English scientific jour-
nal, gives calculations as to the energy Of
the new gun, of force Of impact or its pro-
jjectile at various ranges, from which we
find at the muzzle of the lOOO-pound pro-
jectile blow of II us foOt-tOns, and for
the 1900 pound projectile "the terrific force
Of impact Of Is, Oo5 foot-tOns." As to the
penetrating power Of the gun, that can be
ascertained by experiment only, but The
Engineer says. eve may reasonably esti-
mate it as capable of penetrating at least
nineteen or twenty inches of armor plates
and their hacking at distance Of, say, five
hundred yards"
This may be very true, says the Press, but
fighting iron -clads have to do their work of
destruction not at five hundred yards, but
at considerably greater distance One I'M
portant item connected with these NAM
moth cannon is the non-mention of their
cost. That must be enormous, and, per-
haps, utility considered, the game is not
worth the candle. The ordinary expendi-
lures of the Woolwich gun factories is st.

BURIED ALIvE.-The Messenger du MIDI
relates the following dreadful story: A
young married woman residing at Salon
(Bouches du Rhone) died shortly after her
confinement few months ago. The medi-
cal man who was hastily summoned when
her illness assumed dangerous form, certi-
fled her death, and recommended immediate
burial, and six hours afterward the body
was inferred. A few days since, the hus.
band having resolved to re-marry, the
mother"of his late wife desired to have her
daughters remains removed to her native
town, Marseilles When the vault was
opened a horrible sight presented itself.
The corpse lay in the middle of the vanlt,
with disheveled hair and the linen torn to
pieces. 1t evidently had heen gnawed in
her agony by the unfortunate victim. The
shock which the dreadful spectacle caused
to the mother has been SO great that fears
are entertained for her reason, if not for her
life"

ALCEsTIs.-A writer in Rome says: "Mr.
w. w. Story has just completed a new
statue, which the general voice here de-
clares, with more unanimity than is often
met with in such matters, TO be the finest
work he has yet produced. 1t is an Alcestis
or, as it is the modern fashion to write,
and as Mr.. Story writes on the base of his
statue, Alkestis. The heroine is represented
as moving forward slowly aud doubtfully
at the moment of her return to earth and
the idea Of this half bewildered, hesitating
motion is so wildly impressed on the ina
ginaton Of the beholder that it is difficult
to persuade ones self that as the figure
stands so it will continue to stand forever.
While the right hand gathers the folds of
her drapery around her bosom, the left hand
hangs listlessly by her side, and the
amount of expression of doubt, hesitation,
and but half-recovered consciousness which
that hand is made to express, is simply
wonderful. The drapery is evidently Of
some very soft material, the simple anu ele-
CANT folds of which, descending to the
naked feet so as to reveal only a portion of
them, are admirably managed. The face is
beautiful, of course. The putting it into
marble will be at once proceeded with"

A Presbyterian clergyman offers, through

i'll the United States who has at any time
preached the monstrous doctrine of infant
damnation. The doctrine certainly is a
monstrous one; but, when the infant falls
into the habit of bowling all night without
the slightest cause, as it often does, it is a
doctrine that does not strike one at about
or o'clock in the morning as being half
as mOnstrous as it ought to be.

BITTER ALMoNDs.-A jury in London has
brought in verdict censuring the use of a
sample of burnt almonds in confectionery.
The evidence is that these almonds were
bitter, and that when stepped in water
they yielded prussic acid. The question is
now raised whether the use Of bitter for
sweet almonds in confectionery cannot be
made criminal offeuse, and prosecutions
are to be instituted for that purpose. This

The subject of woman suffrage is expect
ed to engage the attention Of the British
Parliament at an early date, and lively
debate is anticipated. What awakens most
interest in the subject at present is the cir
cumstance that the bill to be considered
soon after the recess was not offered BY Mr..
Jacob Bright or Prof. Fawcett, or any of
the other we'll known champions of the
cause, but by Mr.. Forsyth, who is promi-
nent member of the Conservative party
Though the bill is not such a measure as
would satisfy the friends of womens rights,
merely investing certain unmarried and
widowed women, owners Of real estote, with
the privilege of voting it is nevertheless

principle in contention, and its adoption
would be all important step towards the
consummation of the reform.

in 1864. the Williams GuiOn line, tho White
Star line, established in 1869, the North
German LLOYD, and half dozen other com
panies now in operation. There is little in
the above survey of ocean steamship navi-
cation to crafty American national pride.
One-t third of all the sailing vessels, and
t,co-thirds of all the steamships of the world
carry the British flag. Against 1882
British sailing vessels, with tonnage Of
1907, with tonnage of 2,272, 100. The
steamships of Great Britain number 2 1888,
with a tonnage Of 1882, lS5, and those of
the United States only 42O with 4Ol DAB
tons.
The only other point to be taken into ac-
count is the comparative safety, comfort
and speed Of ocean passages. The number
of accidents accompanied with loss of life
that occur in land travel is far greater than
those which mark steam travel by sea.
During the last thirty-three years the num-
bor Of steamships which were lost be-
tween the United States and Europe was So,
being little over l.! a year, and the
vast majority of these wrecks were unaccom-
panied by loss of life The number of lives
lost during that period does not exceed 5000,
or about 1oO a year. Now, if We bear in
mind that during 1872 the number OF pas
sengers carried across the Atlantic, by steam
ships alone, exceeded 100000, we shall see
how remarkably small is the proportion of
the drowned.
These Ocean steamers, too, are models of
elegance and comfort, in the sumptuously
furnished saloons Of which one can enjoy
every luxury, from the dantiest viands and
the choicest wine, to shampoos: porridge,
pianos and organs. With such precision
and speed in the best of them driven, that
in moderately good weather their arriva; in
port can be calculated on almost to an hour,
and the vast expanse of the Atlantic is
spanned in little over week.

English funerals, in spite of efforts to i'm
prove them, continue to be tasteless and ex
ceedingly expensive affairs. In this country
chty arr nearly as bad. Perhaps cremation
will simplify our funerals and enable man
to die without feeling that be is incurring
an extravagant expense. Still, the love Of
funeral display is SO rooted in the human
mind that instead of burning people in a
neat aud Inexpensive way, We should prob,
ably use the most costly fuel aud spend
hundreds of dollars upon ornamental urns.
This, from the New York Sun, is precisely
to the point:
"If President Grant wished to identify
himself more completely with the Washing
ton ring, could he find any other way to do
it SO etfectually as by promptly Furnishing

dence; but those who expose them are
