day was the wife of another man, and

Threats had been made about two
weeks ago by her former husband to
kill her, and the suppOsitiOn is that be

then set fire to the house to conceal his

The Cultivation of French Fields.

From Havre to Paris (says corre-
spondent) there is scarcely an acre of
uncultivated ground, with the exception
Of the parks belonging to large estates.
The villages all look very old, the hou-
ses are of gray stone, with sharp-poin-
ted roofs rising ore above the other
with little old church half fallen TO
decay in their midst. Every house has
a flower garden, even to the railway sta
tions. 1t looked so pretty and so strange
to see so many flowers in November
The little gardens were one mass of col
or-purple helitorope, tea-roses, scarlet
geraniums, red rosebuds and pink; al
ways framed in with the dark, glossy,
green leaves of the ivy, that grows ev-
erywhere with the greatest luxuriance.
There are no fences around the fields;
they are simply laid out in very straight
rows, and planted with different kinds Of
vegetables, with occasionally a grass
plot or small field of graiI-between; the
different shades of green give a most
beautiful effect to the landscape. There
is not stone or stick to mar the per-
feet smoothness and beauty of these
fields, nor an inch of ground left un-
cared for. They are interstocted at inter
walls by roads bordered on either side by
rows of tall poplars; roads so smooth, so
hard and white, that one longs 10 gallop
over them.

Waiting for Rain in Monte Flat.

Bret Harte says it was dusty in Mon
te Flat. The ruins of the long, dry sea-
son were -crumbling everywhere; every
where the dying summer had strewn its
red ashes foot deep, or exhaled its last
breath in red cloud above the troubled
highways. The alders and cottonwoods
that marked the line of the water cour-
ses themselves were dry as bones in the
valley of death. The dusky sunset at
times painted the tanks of the distant
hills dull coppery hue; on other days
there was an odd, indefnable earthquake
halo on the volcanic cones of the further
coast spurs; again an acrid, resinious
smoke from the burning wood on Heavy
tree Hill smarted the eyes and choked
the free breath of Monte Flat, or fierce
wind, driving everything the
shriveled Summer like a curled leaf
before it, swept down the TANKS of the
Sierras, and chased the inhabitants to
the doors of their cabins, and shook its
red fist in at their windows. And on
such a night as this-the dust having
in some way choked the wheels of ma
terial progress in Monte Flat-most of
the inhabitants were gathered listlessly
in the guided bar room of the Moque-
lumne Hotel, splitting silently at the red
hot stove that tempered the moutain
winds to the shorn lambs of Monte Flat,
and waiting for the rain.

Iceland's Tenth Centennial Anniver-
Sarys

Iceland will next year celebrate the
tenth centennial anniversary of its set
tlement. 1t is said to have been dis
covered by Naddod, sea rover, in $50,
and was scttledand the capital establish
ed in $40, by Ingolf, Norwegian chief.
The population has at times exceeded
100000, and was in 1855, 64, ,603. Famine
in its most terrible forms, pestilence,
spring floods and volcanic eruptions
have frequently reduced the population
to one-half its normal number. The
honesty, temperate habits, chastity and
piety of the Icelanders have been made
the subject of high praise from Euro
pean writer's, and there is scarcely any
country where education is so highly
esteemed as in Iceland. Few of the in
habitants, if any, are unable to read or
write, and all are acquainted with the
old national poems and histories. There
are over three hundred churches on the
island, all of which have public schools
attached to them. There are also pub
lie libraries, newspapers and one college
to aid in the education of the people.
If half of what is said of the Iceland
ers' hospitality, honesty and humanity
be true, they have good cause for eel
ebrating the tenth centennial of theiI
country, and we who are looking for.

How They Switch Trains in England.

A correspondent of an English paper
gives the following account of how rail-
road trains are switched, or "shunted," "
in England:
"At 2:30 we steamed away north by
the collieries, thick as far as the eye
could reach, stopped short time at Wi
gan, the scene of the fearful road disas-
ter, saw where the car jumped on the
roof of the furnace, killing those in it
and the workmen below. The Coroner's
jury decided the cause of the accident
to be because the train left the metals,
as they say for rails. They call switch
'shunting;' the switchman here sits in a
large glass house, built up ten feet above
the track; rods run to all the switches
within two miles, and are worked in
this room by levers, which work like
the levers for playing church chimes
The switches are always closed, SO that
the straight line is always right, unless
the mans hand is always on the lever
which holds the point and throws the
train on the other track. These switch.
es answer for going only in one direc'
tion, and it is impossible for them TO b'
misplaced except by design. They are
in use all over Europe, and ] think fol
safety they are more reliable than thos'
in use in America. A telegraph ana
signal bell in the switchman's room tel
him the position of all the trains within
his jurisdiction"

Internal Machines.

The introduction of the internal ma
chine as an element of public life adds
a new zest to the excitement of Office
seeking and Office retaining. Mr.. Green
was some time since honored with a
present of this explosive character, and
now Judge Morris has narrowly escaped
sudden disintegration by add of SIM
liar contrivance. In the latter case the
gift was characterized by a cynical cru
city which cannot be too severely con-
demed. The mixture ofnitro-glycerine,
powder, and matches which was TO dis
perse the Judge and distribute him
among the wrecked furniture of his
room was concealed in cigar-box, in
order that the recipient might with more
eagerness open the lid to gaze upon the
Reina Victorias which he would ex-
pect to find within. The villain who
would thus trifle with the holiest feel
ing of our common nature aud create in
the heart of his fel4ow-man the hope of
eleemosynary cigars, only to dash it to
the ground with the sudden nitro-glyce-
rine, presents a spectacle of depravity
at which humanity shudders.
But it is clear that the police cannot
permit comptrollers and judges to be
blown up by gratuitons internal ma
chimes. The men who thus attempt to
assassinate Mr.. Green and Judge Nor
ris ought to be discovered, and would be
had we a detective police worthy of the
name. Their detection and punishment
would serve as a wholesome warning to
similarly disposed persons, and would
render the manufacture of internal ma
chimes no longer a possible branch OF
productive industry. Unless thisis done
the scoundrels will gather fresh courage
by inpunity, and ere long the sight OF
fragmentary municipal and judicial Off
GERS flying through courthouse windows,
or sprinkling the sidewalks adjoining
their private houses, will become ia
miliar spectacle. And, what is more
terrible to contemplate, there will be a
total decay of faith in cigar boxes, SO
that the man who receives present of a
genuine box of the finest cigars will moi
dare to open it until he has soaked it ir'
retrivably in a convenient bath tub. The
bitterness of misanthropic despair will
settle down upon him as he finally open:
the box and recognizes his loss, and the
wreck of morals and peace of MIND
which will follow will be even saddel
than the mere physical death which the
true internal machine is designed to in

Reanty OF the AtIantIe WaYes.


Nothing can be more superb than the
green of the Atlantic waves when the
circumstances are favorable TO the exhi-
bition Of the color. As long az a wave
remains unbroken no color appears; but
when the foam just doubles over the
crest, like an Alpine snow-eornice, under
the cornice we often see a display Of
most exquisite green. 1t is metallic in
its brilliancy. But the foam Is necessa-
ry to it's production. The foam is FIRST
illuminated, and il scatters the light la
all directions; the light which passes
through the higher portion Of the wave
alone reaches the eye, and gives to that
portion its matchless color. The fold
ing Of the wave, producing, a. it does, a
series Of longitudinal protuberances
and burrows, act like cylii drical lenses
introduces variations in the intensity Of
the light and materially enhances its
beauty.-PrcE. TyndaH in Aocmalol

Why English WOrkmen Don't Like
the United States.

London Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial.
The other day had shown me some
letters written by various poor men who
had gone out from Yorkshire and set
tied in a town of Central New York,
and they said that, though they could
earn enough there to make them much
more comfortable than they had been in
Yorkshire, they were all resolved to
come back, and suppose by this time
they have done SO. They were vague in
giving their objections, but said that
they found life in America void of all
interest for workingmen. They found
none of those little clubs in which at
home (Yorkshire) they were wont to
meet and talk over the politics of the
day. They found no learned gentlemen
anxious to lecture to them occasional
| ly. The amusements were of the most
miserable description-chiefy negro
minstrelsy. The local newspapers never
had an interesting article, and was a tis-
sue of the dryest local items. The
preachers preached dull, humdrum
orthodoxy, and were rarely as well edu.
Gated as their own English parsons. AL.
together, life in New York town they
found intolerable, and preferred theil
crust in Yorkshire, with the old sur.
roundings.

A Florida Panther Story.

While hunting near the coast, few
days since, it was my misfortune to wit
ness sicE1ening and heart-rending scene
near bayou. Ny companion and self
had been hunting two or three days pre-
viously near the locality and shot four
deer, and one of which ran toward that
spot, so badly wounded that / thought il
would fall within a hundred yards Of
the place at which it was shot but SIS
we had as many as we desired for that
day We did not trace it. On our return,
two days afterward, to hunt near the
same place, noticed buzzards flying
near the spot where supposed the deer
had gone, and suggested to my eompan-
ion that We go to it, just to satisfy my
self that was correct in my surmise,
and also to show him how accurately /
eeuld shoot, for he continually taunts
me with the number of deer that carry
with them evidences of my poor marks
manship. On approaching the spot the
stencil was so unpleasant that we were
in the act of retracing our steps When
we noticed buzzard hop as if chased,
and insisted or going far enough te-be
satisfied that it was correct. On nearer
approach a most horrible scene was be-
fore US. About twenty PAGES from a
bayou a number of immense alligators
were keeping off flock of buzzards from
partially eaten and decomposing body
of human being, and near by the car
cass of pantherl The head and limbs
of the human being were severed from
the body, and were scattered over an
area of fifteen feet. The head was
bruised, scratched, swollen; and eaten so
that ii could not be recognized, except
that it was white mans. Nearly all
the flesh was eaten off the bones, and so
recently too, that traces of large teeth
were noticeable. The carcass of the
panther was also much devoured. A
large heavy sailors knife, stained with
blood, was near the trunk of the human
being, and other evidences of desper-
ate struggle for life between the man and
the panther. As we approached, none
of the guardians over the dead moved un-
til my companion threw a heavy pine
knot into their midst, when the smaller
retreated in to the water, the larger
moving sullenly IN that direction, but
never going farther than the edge, all
| the time watching every movement we
made.
When my companion commenced to
collect the bones of the man for inter-
ment, while held both guns, the alli-
gators near the edge became ferocious,
and about ten rushed madly toward us.
We stood our ground, and fired four
times, fatally wounding, if not killing,
as many alligators looked toward the
bayou and its surface was covered with
alligator heads as far as the eye could
reach, which came to the shore, / sup
pose, to learn the cause of the alarm. As
we did not wish to wage war with the
alligator kingdom, amid the stench
which was nearly sitting, we retreated.
All inquiry has failed to furnish any
information in regard to the man, excep
what has been detailed above. 1t is
coniectured that it was an unfortunate
sailor who had been shipwrecked and
cast ashore, and who, in seeking to reach
some habitation of man, was overtaken
by the sad misfortune which befel him
