More Intelligent than His Master.

In Paris, few evenings since, man
intoxicated and heavy with liquor was
noticed tottering along the Rue Dan
court, followed by dog of some in
describable nongrel breed. Suddenly
the man stopped. The dog growled and
bit his masters left calf. LET go, ;"
said his master, "I'm going to walk on.
l understand that we haven't got home
yet. Let 60, say" But the dogheed-
ed him not, but only pulled the lAore
vigorously at his trousers. "Let go,
you're tearing my breeches,' said the
man. "IH go on, and he started
again. The intelligent animal at once
let go his hold and followed at his mas
ter's heels. A few rods further on the
man stopped again, and once more the
dog gnawed at his leg until he was
obliged to continue his homeward pro-
gress. The same process was renewed
by the dog ten times after this and un-
til his master safely reached his dwell
ing.

The Source of Salt.

The sea depends ON the disintegra-
ton Of rocks on land for salt. It does
originate i'll oceans and seas. Rains
wash it and hold it in solution as parti-
cles are liberated by violence, decompo-
sition, and gradual action of many nat
ural forces. All streamlets and rivers,
therefore, are constantly transporting
salt to the sea. If there is more than
can be held in solution, then it accumu-
lates in masses at very deep points
Thus the salt mines of Portland and the
vast horizontal beds of pure salt in Tex
as, as we'll as that mountain of rock salt
in St. Domingo, were collected at the
bottom of ancient seas, which are now
dry land remote from water. There are
places in Africa where the process of
disintegration of salt from rock is reg
ularly going on, but there is not water
power enough to force it onward to the
sea. Hence the particles are spread
abroad and mixed with the soil. TIE
negroes Of Northern Africa having dis
covered it's distribution where there is
no water to dissolve in the ground leach
it. In that way they separate the salt.
Salt pervades the earth. It exists in
the grasses and most vegetable products
on which animals feed. In that way
they derive enough in most countries to
meet the demands of their natures.
They require as much as civilized hui
mainly. With them salt is necessary,
as with ourselves, for keeping the or
gans of vision in good condition. Stop
the supply and blindness would ensue.

THE YOUNG NAPOLEON.
RumOred Approaching Marriage Of the
Prince Imperial.

KuinOred Approaching Marriage Of the
Prince Imperial.
Discussing the prospects of Imper-
ialism in France, the Paris correspon-
dentof the London Times says: "There
has been talk for some days, with
marked persistency, though in a mystic
rlons tone, Of q project Of alliance be-
tween the Prince Imperial and Dan
lsh princess, sister of the Princess Of
Wales and the Czarevna Dagmar It is
confidentially affirmed that the Prince
OF Wales and the Queen, his mother,
are very favorable to this scheme, that
the House of Denmark is inclined to it,
and that Russia alone shows some hest
tatlon, which, however, it is added, will,
there is every reason to believe, shortly
come to an end, so that the marriage
will soon be arranged. It is objected,
indeed, that the princess in question is
two and half years older than the
prince, who is only nineteen. Those who
talk Of the match, and believe, or wish
to believe, or affect to believe in it,
reply by dwelling on the eclat and adj
vantages such an alliance would offer to
the Prince Imperial. Tt would be
like providential indication said an
enthusiast recently; the three Danish
princesses would be married to the
three heirs of the greatest thrones in
the world, consorts of the King of Eng
land and the Emperors of the French
and Russians. We should bring alli-
ances ready made, and Germany, per-
haps, in view of this position, and in
consideration of an indemnity, would
make the princess wedding present of
the two unfortunate provinces, which
would be an everlasting cause of hatred
and an inevitable pretext for war;

A Curious Suit.

A suit was filed in the Louisville
Chancery Court on Tuesday, which,
from the prominence of the parties con-
cerned and the extraordinary character
of the issue involved, has created very
decided sensation. The late III. d. New
comb, many years President of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, was
married twice His first wife became
insane, and killed two of her children,
and has since been an inmate of the
Massachusetts, Hospital for the Insane.
Several years ago Mr.. Newcomb
produced decree of divorce,
and was afterwards married to
young daughter of wealthy and
prominent citizen of Louisville, by
whom he had two children. He died
last summer, leaving property amount
ing to between 81, 900, COO and $4,000
900. One son by the first wife survived,
and IS practically the plaintiff in the
suit, although it is brought In the name
Of the first wife, making the legatee
and trustee of the will defendants, and
is brought to declare the second mar
riage null and void, the divorce, 1t Is
claimed, having been illegal. The Ell.
feet of a decision in favor OF pia1ntln
will be to declare the children by the
second marriage ilegltlmate. very
able counsel have been employed On
both sides.

In the Chartreuse Desert.

A writer, describing visit to the
Desert of Chartreuse, says: cit is in
this Desert where the plants and herbs
are found with which the celebrated
Chartreuse elixirs and hqueurs are
made. The elixirs are known chiefly
for their medicinal qualities; but the
Chartreuse hquer has place on every
gourman's table. Formerly both the
elixirs and iqueurs were made In the
convent itself, but now they are made
at the foot of the hill, as the noise of
the machinery, &C., was supposed to
distract the brothers and fathers in their
devotions. The convent is visited three
times day. Each cell is divided into
four partitious-one for sleeping, one
for praying, one for working, the broth
ers amuse themselves at turning, &C., and
they make several very pretty trinkets,
which are sold for the benefit of the
poor In the recreation partition they
have sometimes little garden, where
they plant few seeds, which
rarely come to life; but when they do,
and the brother begins to take pleas
ure in the sigh of his work, then, for
for fear that his thoughts should be di
rected too much to the things of this
earth, he is made to change his cell, in
order to remind him that nothing be-
low can ever more belong to him But
the whole life of these men is long alb
negation of self What, however, they
feel the most at first is, they say, hay
ing to rise from their slumbers in the
dead of the night, and having to sing in
their loudest voice for three whole
hours; after this they are again
allowed to rest until 6 o'clock
They eat alone like prisoners, their
splendid dining room being used only on
rare festivals, when all the community
dine together, but in deep silence.
Once month they walk in the desert,
when they climb the surrounding rocks,
and search for herbs that make their
elxirs and liqueurs; but even then they
do not talk together. Some of the
greatest names in France are here rep
resented, and it is said that these men,
who were once accustomed to every
luxury that money could buy, are hap
pier and healthier here than they were
in the world of fashion and pleasure.
The order, in spite of the taxes and
vexations which have been levied on it
since the first Revolution, Systematically
rich. It's chief income, however, is de-
rived from the sale of Chartreuse
iqueurs, which, after being deposited
and packed at Voiron, are exported into
every country in the world"

A $4,000 Dog Case.
From the New York Express.

Charles Plumly, of Westfeld, has

son Ellis, who was shockingly bitt en- IN

A Charming Woman.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

JOHN e.. SANE.
A charming woman, I've heard it said
By other women as light as she;
But all in vain puzzle my head 49,.
To find wherein the charm may be.
Her face, indeed, is pretty enough,
And her form is quite as good as the best,
Where nature has given the bony stuff,
And a clever milliner all the rest. t.f
Intelligent Yes--in a certain way,
With the feminine gift of ready speech,
And knows very we'll what not to say
Whenever the theme transcends her reach.
But turn the topics on things you wear,
From an opera cloak to robe de mutt
Hats. basques or bonnets-'twill make you
stare
To see how fluent the lady can be.
Her laugh is hardly a thing to please;
For an honest laugh must always start
From gleesome mood, like a sudden breeze,
And hers is purely matter of art
4 muscular motion made to show
What nature designed to lie beneath
The finer mouth: but what can she do
IL that is ruined to show the teeth?
To her seat in church, good half mile
When the day is fine she is sure to go,
Arrayed. of course, in the latest style
La mode dc Paris has got to show,
And she puts her hands on the velvet pew,
(Can hands so white have faint Of sin y
And thinks-how her prayer-books tint of
blue
Must harmonic with her milky skin
All! what shall we say of one who walks
In fields of flowers to choose the weeds?
Reads authors of whom she never talks
And talks of authors she never reads?
She's charming woman, I've heard it said
BY other women as light as she;
But all in vain puzzle my head
To find wherein the charm may be.

SOME people imagine that Mark
Twain is exceedingly smart. We
knew him when he was grinding plati-
tudes for the Virginia Enterprise, and he
was a notorious lazy grinder. He
would sit at his editorial table for hours
drumming on a cracked guitar, while
the compositors were waiting for copy,
and when reminded Of his duty by the
foreman, would say: '"Tnis working
between meals is killing mel" And he
was the healthiest man in the Territory.

Gods Waiting.
JEAN INGELOw

Grand Isl the leisure of the earth:
She gives her happy myriads birth.
And alter harvest fears not dearth,
But goes to sleep in snow-wreaths dim.
Dread is the leisure up above,
The while He sits whose name ia Love.
And waits, as Noah did the dove,
10 see if she would fly to him.
He waits for us, while, houseless things,
We beat about with bruised wings
On the dark floods and water springs.
The ruined world, the desolated sea.
With open windows from the prime,
All night, all day. he waits sublime,
Until the fumess of his time
Decreed from His eternity.

A little vanity might well be excused
on the part of Americans when the fact
is proclaimed that sewing silks now

hibition at Vienna last year, where all
the sewing machines in the competition

a lady whose perfect form, flashing eye,
classic face and elegant bearing toward her

first sight. But the artist could not speak
a word of her language and how to make
himself known to the object of his ardent
