The Spanish Soldier.

WRITING of the Spanish army CORE
spondent says; "The men, for the most
part, are understood; not strongly built,
ana some mere lads. The weakness is,
however, only apparent. They bear the
fatlgues Of march and the hardships
OF bivouac as well as any troops in the
world; they are not much smaller than
the French, and as they carry lighter
KIT they would easily outstrip them on
the road. This refers only to the in
fantry Of the line; the artillery, the
carablneros, and other corps d'eltte muster
oetter-looking men, but Spaniard
hardly appears stronger for being taller
there is lankness and gauntness, an
apparently incorrigible stoop which ex-
tends to the whole host, painfully con-
trasting with the broad, round shoulders
and full, high chests by which your
French or Piedmontes fantass5n often
makes up for this deficiency in inches
Strong the Spanish soldiers certainly
are, long-enduring, never struggling; but
whether they possess these qualities be-
cause they are underfed is a question
which Marshal Serrano has settled by
his increase of the ration. Apart from
their complexion and figure, and with
reference only to their countenances,
the Spaniards must be allowed to be the
handsomest and most warlike- looking
race in the world. Fine, large, dark
eyes and a straight nose are seldom
wanting, and the general cast of features
fully becomes q nation every individual
of which feels himself, and is, at least in
manners, somebody's SON. That
brave, gentleman-ike, soldier-like mien
is seldom belied in action. Any appeal
to the honor and patriotism of Spanish
soldier is sure of a ready response; and
there is no danger he Will not encounter,
if hidden, his fatalism investing him, as
it were, with a charmed life. Gloomy
as the Spaniards, at least the Castilians,
Aragones, and all but the Catalonians
and Andaiusians are at home, they are
the merriest of all soldiers in the field.
Their chatter and 'chaff,' their singing
and frolicking, whether in barracks or
on the road, are incessant, and | saw no
instance of resentment at practical
jokes which frequently degenerate into
horse-play. Drunkenness, I need hardly
say, is almost entirely unknown"

A Remarkable Pedestrian.

A REMARKABLE pedestrian feat has,
according to the Finaaaza, Of Alexandria,
been lately performed by an Italian
named Giuseppe Ricci, who certainly
seems to have taken rather long consti-
tutional. Having come some months ago
from Alexandria to Constantinople in
search of employment, but being unsuc-
cessful in his object, Ricci resolved to re-
turn to Alexandria. 4 slight difficulty,
however, arose at the very commence
ment of his journey, owing to the fact of
his having no mOney-a serious draw
back to a bona .fde traveller, for, not
withstanding the wretched impotence
of gold, " it is uncommonly difficult to
travel comfortably without it. Ricci at
first tried to work his passage back in a
steamer or ship, but failing also in this
endeavOr he set his face resolutely south
ward and determined to work or beg his
way to Egypt. He accordingly started
off with light heart and thin pair
of breeches,'' and, after marching for 15S
days across the peninsula of Asia Minor
and along the coasts of Syria and Pales-
tine, he arrived in safety at Alexandria,
where, by latest accounts, he was enjoy
ing the repose he was justly entitled to
after his fatiguing walk.

a diaphragm of thin rubber or other suit
able elastic membrane, which is set IN vi
oration by the tone, and which, by its
vibrations, continually makes and breaks
the electric circuit The number of
breaks in second corresponds exactly
with the number of vibrations belonging
to the tone sounded; and since the cur
rent passes, at the other end of the line
around a soft iron bar, constituting the
well-known helix, this bar is magnetized
and demagnetized, alternately, as many
times in a second as there are vibrations
in the tone sounded At the sending in
strument. But each magnetization, when
the circuit is broken, causes Longitude
nal shrinkage of the bar Hence it is
only necessary to place the bar on deli
cate sounding board, which receives and
renders audible its vibrations, and by
this ingenious device OF the sounding
board is made to vibrate with the exact
rate Of the original tone, and thus the

/" The Oldest lnhabitant."

The Paris correspondent of the New
York Times writes 6 As | have men
toned the oldest RESIDENT I may as
well say more about him, for in Paris
there is very little difficulty in fixing
him. 1t is the Count de Waldeck, now
in his 111th year, and looking as if des-
tined to live to ripe old age He cele-
brated his 10th birthday not long ago,
and on hearing of it joker in the life
insurance business went to him to induce
him to take out an endowment policy on
his life. The Count took it quite seri-
ously, studied the matter carefully, and
thought that he might try it next year.
Three years ago | mentioned M. de Wal
deck In connection with a project of a
new theater near the Madeleine, he hav-
ing applied for the position of Director,
although he would be about 115 years of
age if he lives to see the building com
pleted. He still wants the place, as he
was Director Of theater bearing the
name proposed under the first Republic
| saw the old man coming down the Rue
DIES Martyrs the other day, and thought
him looking remarkably we'll On the
Empress birthday he sent her bouquet,
saying in a note that he was in the world
before the founder of the Napoleonic
dynasty He was an officer under Ma
poleon, and was wounded at Austerlitz,
if remember rightly. During the Reign
of Terror he was, like Sieyes, occupied
in living no easy thing when one had
the title of Count, and when there was
a permanent guillotine on the Place de
la Concorde; but he succeeded by be-
coming purveyor of public amuse-
ments. There is no doubt about Count
de Waldeck's age, am told, he having
authentic documents; and the records of
the army show that he must be consider
ably over century"

Lawfully Married, After All.

THE Columbus (Ohio) State Journal re
lates the woes of a newly-married man
in that State. About month ago, it
says, Marquis de Lafayette Beachtel,
Groveport, married Lydia Ann Sarah
Elizabeth McRaney. 1t was a blissful
union, and they commenced life happily
with prospects of future of contentment
ranging in extent with the length of their
names. But disturber of their peace
full harmony arose the other day and
created an unpleasant state Of affairs for
the time being. In the publication in a
newspaper of the marriage licenses
BeachtePs name was by mistake COM
menced with D. Now some of Mar
quis De Lafayette's friends told him that
on this account there was something
wrong about the license and if it APP
peared that way on the court records his
marriage was illegal and he ought to
look after the affair. Our hero was much
exercised over the matter and resolved
to find If that was so, for sure. Accord
ingly, Wednesday morning he put on his
ohhoOo az oloNCpO1I duu SOG Ol W tuS
canal and started for Columbus, gia
Lockburn and Shadeville, skating a dis
lance of not less than eighteen miles.
He arrived in the city about noon almost
dead. He had pretty tough job of it,
climbing over the locks and skating over
very rough ice. When he appeared at
the Probate Court room he was pretty
nearly gone; his hands were cracked by
the wind and bleeding quite profusely
from bruises that he had made in falling
down on the ice; he was in fact badly
used up, but he had the extreme satisfac-
ton of hearing from Deputy Gale that
his license was as good as "wheat in the
mill" and that, whether his name had
been printed with D or B, Lydia Ann
Sarah Elizabeth was his wife and couldn't
be taken from him. He started for home
instanter.

A York State Hermit.

Two MILES south of Albion, n. Y,
lives very singular person named An
thonV Trip, an old man between seventy
and eighty years of age. He lives with
in a mile and half of the Niagara Falls
Railroad, yet he has never seen it, nor
the locomotive whose whistle he daily
hears. For over half century he has
dwelt by himself, doing all his house
hold work. During all that time no
woman has crossed his Threshold and,
indeed but few men. If a woman ap-
preached his premises he would bar the
door and take refuge in the cellar. With
men he would hold no intercourse ex-
cept when absolutely necessary or una
voidable. Latterly he seems to have
taken even stronger antipathy to his
fellow-creatures, hiding himself upon
the approach Of any person. When
Anthony Trip was about twenty years
of age, so the story runs, he fell in love
with pretty neighbor girl, and was en-
gagged to be married to her. But she
was tickle, and Tilted him. From that
time his life was embittered, and he
foreswore all womanktnd. He was not
one of those who think there are as good
fish in the sea as ever were caught. The
falseness of this girl partially crazed him,
and he has since dwelt apart from hui
mankind. This should be warning to
young women never to jilt lover.

What Allied " Ugly Sam

He had been missing from the Poto-
mac" for several days, and Cleveland
Tom, Port Huron Bill, Tall Chicago, and
the rest of the boys who were wont to
get drunk with him couldn't make out
what had happened. They hadn't heard
that there was warrant out for him,
had never known of his being sick for a
day, and his absence from the old haunts
puzzled them. They were in the Hole
in-the Wall saloon yesterday morning,
nearly a dozen of them, drinking, smok-
ing, and playing cards, when in walked
Ugly Sam.
There was deep silence for a moment
as they looked at him. Sam had new
hat, had been shaved clean, had on a
clean collar and a white shirt, and they
didn't know him at first. When they
saw that it was Ugly Sam they uttered a
shout and leaped up.
"Cave in that hiatt" cried one
" tank that collar OFF, shouted an
other.
Let's roll him on the foor!" screamed
a third.
There was something in his look and
bearing which made them hesitate. The
whisky-red had almost faded from his
face, and he looked sober and digniied.
His features expressed disgust and con-
tempt as he looked around the room, and
then revealed pity as his eyes fell upon
the red eyes and bloated faces of the
crowd before him.
why, what ails We, SAM" inquired
Tall Chicago, as they all stood there.
" I've come down to bic you good-by,
boys" he replied, removing his hat and
drawing a clean handkerchief from his
pocket.
what! Hev We turned preachers"
they shouted in chorus.
Boys, ye know [ can lick any two of
ye, bat hain't on the fight any more,
and I've put down the last drop of
whisky which is ever to go into my
mouth! I've switched of. I've taken
an oath. I'm going to be decent"
Sam, be you crazy?" asked Port
Huron Bill, coming nearer to him.
1--we come down here to tell We all
about it." answered Sam. Move the
chairs back little and give me room.

No Statue While in Debt.

IT is rather hazardous to name child
after or to build monument to living
man. He may not turn out SO well as
was expected, and then the name and
monument will be somewhat mortif flying.
But there is a village in France where
they will not build monument to a
great man even when he is dead, unless
his debts are paid. A recent French
traveller who visited Milly says:
A pedestal which awaits its monument
stands at the entrance of a square in
Milly village.
| asked, "What is that?''
l was told, at is the pedestal of Mons.
de Lamartine's statue"
I inquired, HAS that statue not been
made yet?"
The question was scarcely out of my
mouth when an old peasant, with a
weazel-shaped face, came up to me and
said, with the dryness of legal writ:
Business has not yet been settled.
Lamartine still owes money; he owes to
workmen and to farmers, and they are
waiting for all those accounts to be iqui-
dated, because it is not desirable to erect
statue to a man in debt"
