Tartar AmazOns.

An English traveller, Andrew Will
son, met band of female warriors in
his Himalayan journey lately, who ar
rested his progress He had sent his
servants in advance to Shipki, that
they might pitch his little mountain
tent before his arrival; an undertake
ing which did not prove so easy as
might have appeared probable. The
reader must bear in mind, that Shipki
is situated on the very steep slope of a
hill, above foaming river; that there
is no level ground there, except the
roofs of the houses, which are jealous
ly guarded by huge Tibetan mastiffs,
and the narrow terraced fields sur
rounded by prickly hedges on stone
walls. Of course, the only apparently
available spot was on one of the fields.
But here a formidable obstacle present
ed itself, in the shape of band of
powerful, handsome, young Tartar
women, who constituted themselves
guardians of the ground, and showed
much fight. In vain the Moravian
missionary, who was with the traveller,
argued fuently in Tibetan. His elo-
quence was wasted. To use force was
impossible; for, to say nothing of the
want of English gallantry such a pro-
ceeding would have implied, Mr.. Will
son very much doubts if these young
Tartar women would not have proved
more than match for his handful of
servants; and most certainly the men
Of the place would have found in any
attempt at attack pretext for amur-
derous assault. There appeared moth
ing for it but ANONYMOUSLY to submit.
But fortunately, a Lama, for whom
Mr.. Pagell, the missionary, had done
some medical service, appeared on the
spot, and offered the strangers a field
of his own; on which for nights they
were permitted to encamp. But every
attempt to proceed further proved I'M
awaiting. The Tibetans reasoned
''that wherever Englishmen set foot
in country, however peaceably at
first, they ended by conquering it; that
the only way to keep their country was
to keep Englishmen out"

Uncertainty of Wealth.

The st. Louis Republican says: The
absence of the law of primogeniture
causes a frequent change of ownership
in the private residences which con-
tribute so uuch to the adornment of
our cities While the head of the fam
lily lives the home may be retained
though very often a reverse of fortune
compcls him to seek humber quarters
but when he dies the heirs are
obliged to get rid of the too expensive
luxury. How many of the fine houses
built in st. Louis twenty years ago are
now owned by the men who erected
them, or their descendants? How
many of later date, now occupied by
their builders, will be in the possession
of their present tenants, or their de-
scendants, twenty years hence? Other
influences beside the lack of primogen-
iture contribute to this, in some
respects, unfortunate result. There
are more cups and downs in life in
the new world than in the old. For
tunes are made much quicker and dis
appear much more rapidly. Wealth
is seldom transmitted beyond the sec
ond generation, and in many instances
does not last through the first. The
boy born with silver spoon in his
mouth" frequently has to taste pewter
before his pilgrimage is over, and he
may have the pleasure of being
splashed with mud from the carriage
wheels of the man who was once his
fathers porter. This is free country,
very free, indeed, and among the con-
sequences of that freedom Is the ex-
ceeding uncertainty of financial matters.
Yet in no country is less provision
made for the evil day so far as our
children are concerned. The wealthy
parent brings up his sons and daughters
as though there was not the remotest
possibility they could ever be poor.
If a rich father should insist upon his
son learning trade he would be SET
down as a mild-mannered lunatic. II
a rich mother should instil into her
daughter rigid ideas of economy and
industry she would be looked upon as
either very mean or very foolish
probably both. Yet every day we are
taught the necessity of this prelimin.
airy discipline; every day we see men
and women falling from affiuence to
poverty, who, if properly trained,
might not have fallen at all, or if they
did fall could have risen again. 1t is
shame and disgrace that in a land
where labor is supposed to be honor
able, and where the law recognizes nc
distinction of caste, so small a portion
of the sons of the weather. classes
learn trades. No young man has a
right to consider himself thoroughly
independent unless he has some avo
cation by which, health permitting, he
can always make a living. And
the best and surest avocations are
those for which there is always q
demand. Lawyers, doctors, preachers
professors, clerks-all these and Their
kindred are frequently a drug in the
market; but how seldom is it that 9

MOTHS will work in carpets in rooms
that are not kept warm in the winter
as well as in the summer. A sure
method of removing the pests is to
pour strong alum water on the floor to

Then once or twice during the season
sprinkle dry salt over the carpets be-

Thoughts from RivarOl.

siOns are actresses.
x X X
There will always be two worlds sub
mitted to the speculations of philos-
ophers; that of the imagination, where
everything is probable and nothing is
true, and that of nature, where every
thing is true without being probable.
Ideas go round the world. They roll
from age to age, from tongue to tongue,
from verse to prose, until they become
enveloped in a sublime image, a living
and luminous expression, which never
leaves them, and it is thus they enter
into the patrimony of the human race.
Speech is the vestment of thought
but expression is its armor.
Makers of phrases remind me of that
Greek who lighted torch to see the
dawn.
Political life is like the sphinx of the
fable; it devours all who do not ex-
plain its riddles.

War is the tribunal of kings, and
victories are its verdicts.

lou see that RivarOl was not mere
ly man of wit; he was thinker as
well; but in truth no one has the right
to be called man of wit if he only lets
off an occasional fire-crackers to make
the darkness more perceptible. True
wit should always leave luminous
track in the thought and the spirit.
With all his wit Rivarol came to
nothing. The Able de Voisin said 81
