FORTUNE WITHOUT A FOUNDING.

II is recorded of Solomon of old
that he once had a tough case to de-
eide as between two women, each
claiming the motherhood of a child.
To sottle the question tho wise king
proposed to cut the child in two and
give each woman u half. The true
mother was then revealed when she
agreed without any other scratching
or pulling Of hair to give the other
woman the little one and save its life
A question somewhat similar lately
was sprung between the station-mas-
ter and porter at IN English rail
way station. A basket came to the
station which upon being opened was
found to contain a living child. The
stntion-master declined the gift, but
the porter, pitying the poor little
helpless wanderer, volunteered to
accept it, and took the basket and
child to his humble home by general
consent-the station-master glad to
get"rid of the package 80 easily.
The porter and his wife were made
glad, for they were childless, with
strong parental desires ungratifed.
They lifted the child gently out OF
the basket and found q treasure OF
another sort. II was a package Of
money and counted out $500. Soon

AROMANTIC THIEF.

The facts of o long-continued sys-
tenn Of robbery by o confidential
employe has just been brought to
light in Paris. A certain Tesche-
macher, German by birth, has long
enjoyed the entire confidence Of a
great Anglo-Freueh firm, Messrs.
Poisset Of Bradford and Paris.
Though but % years old, md boy
ish OF appearance Teschmacher oc-
cupied the position Of chief cashier,
and was even trusted with authority
to sign for the firm.
Just before the war, in o public
place, he made the acquaintance OF
Marguerite Charvio, q young person
of some attraction, and Of superior
education. Led for her sake into
expenses, he began to gamble on che
turf. with such luck as to win nearly
"a, 900 in very short time. There
upon he boughttvo ponies, basket
carriage, and other knickSnacks Of
this sort, and hired charming little
house in the Avenue Bourbon, o
neighborhood very retired. There
he set up o staff Of servants, passing
under the name Of Baron Alphonse.
Speaking English excellently, no
was supposed in the Avenue Bour-
don to Be a wealthy and eccentric
milord, whose ruinous expenses were
a subject Of gossip,
Going out early in clothes Of the
latest fashion, he passed the day at
his desk in n coat almost too ancient
for respocta bility, dined for a franc
and half, and returned home late,
fashionably clad as he had SGT out.
His bachelor chamber, modest be-
yond what his position authorized,
was known to all in tho office at 81
| Boulevard Magenta. But fortune
changed. Cards and horses turned
against the cashier. He began to
falsify his books, But for three
years the double life was led without
discovery, though the servants Of
Baron AlphOnse were WohoefiuiAy
suspicious after the fact.
| A fortnight since came . warming

taken care to balance the books, he
still left no suspicion behind, until
his non-appearance caused alarm.

THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS.

Bayard Taylor delivered the OPEN
ing lecture in the Y. Ms. Hebrew
Association course in the Academy of
music in New York. The subject Of
the lecture was "Ancient Egypt"
and Mr.. Taylor spoke overtwo hours.
The lecturer began with the asser-
ton that civilization was older than
we are willing to admit. Even the
subject Of w0mans rights was grave
ly discussed by Aristophanes, and
the recent discoveries in ancient
Egypt show to what an advanced
stage her people had attained. The
history of Egypt is well preserved
in her monuments and her temples.
In no part of the world had peo-
pie such favorable conditions under
which to develop and GROWN wisdom
and in power. She was blessed with
climate without storms, u soil which
is eternally fertilizing itself, and ma
ture casts around her bulwarks ol
defence in the seas and the deserts
Under these circumstances the peo.
pie obeyed the eternal law of devel
opment, and 10000 years ago hat
reached q point in civilization which
placed them far above surrounding
nations.
The scientific knowledge of thu
Egyptians covered nearly oil branches
known to the modern world. The.
first divided the circle into $50 parts
Long before the Chaldeans they oh
served the motions Of the heayenl,
bodies. They first divided the yea
into 3G5 days, Women among then
we're as highly privileged as men
! On the tombstones the wife is alway
mentioned US the supreme mistres
of the house, and sons often Dor
the names of Their mothers instea
of their fathers. There was, indeed
no important right which the woma
did not share with the man.
The great era Of Egypt was lon
before the Pharaohs spoken of j
the Bible. The older dynasties wer
marked by originality and develop
ment. But in Egypt, as in Rome
with power came corruption, and he
people went backward instead Of fol
ward. .""

great deliberation, said this was the
hrst time that evasion or prevarica-
ton was ever attributed to him. He
had always spoken in plain terms,
susceptible Of no misunderstanding,
and he was willing to stand by the
record.
Dawes asked him if he desired to
say anything in regard to the
character Of the language he used
Brown-I stand by the record.
Sensation.
Here somewhat exciting episode
occurred between Hoar and Lamar,
arising from a misunderstanding Of
en- expression Of the former by the
latter, and ending in an explanation
and apology by Lamar.
Dawes said as it was evident the
Democrats would not vote for his
resolution, he would withdraw it.
Cox moved to table Hale's resolu-
ton. Rejected. Yeas 80, nays l67.
The resolution was, then adopted by
vote of 161 to 10.
Butler, who had sat quietly
through all, then asked leave tc
make personal explanation. Speak
ing of his eight years service in the
House, he said that in all that time
no one could accuse him of ever
beginning q personal attack on any
man, or Of having went out OF his
way to say an unkind word of any
man, unless first attacked, and h
also endeavored, when attacked
never to leave a man until he wal
sorry he did it.
The sergeant-at-arms then escorted
Brown to the bar of the House, ant
the speaker administered a dignifeC
but severe censure.
