Firmness Of the HerzegovinIans.

Various hypothesis are continually put
forward to explain the obstinacy of the
insurgents in refusing the Andrassy re-
forms, except under their own condi-
lions, but it is a tolerably open secret,
and requires no ingenuity to explain it.
Every chief of the instruction feels a
moral certainty that his life is not worth
a para if he puts himself in the hands of
the Turks, no matter under what prom
Use or sanction; chat the Turkish author
tiles are incapable if willing, and unwil-
ling if capable. of protecting him from
summary vengeance after submission;
and if even the Russian Government
were to put the most energetic and sin
cere pressure on them to submit, cutting
off supplies and countenance at the same
time, it would only result in the expa-
triation of every man in Herzegovina
who had made himself prominent in the
war. Last October / wrote you that
g this instruction, if not paciied, would
be only extinguished in blood, and in
this Judgment [ have only been con-
firmed by subsequent events. No for
eign pressure will make these men sub
NIT to the old Turkish rule. They have
before them the alternatives of victory
$50 far as imposing their conditions Of
peace at least), exile or death, and as so
far they have the upper hand, they re-
quire slight encouragement to maintain
their present attitude. I have abundant
assurance that the Dalmatian authorities
and the Russian agents most intimately
connected with the affair have been
throughout of this opinion, and that the
Governments at Vienna and ST. Peters
burg have been. most clearly informed
by those competent to inform them that
no official pressure would induce such
submission as the Andrassy plan sup
poses, or any submission that does not
include an actual intervention of some
European power between the Turk and
his former subjects. - Venice Cor. Oftte

A TnadY.

Thare il kind Nv ekonomy that don't
pay, it IL the kind that people resort to
after they hav squandered all their
mummy. The man who lives the life ov
a toady is kind ov human spit-box. A
gentleman kant hide hiz true character
emmy more than loafer kan. Peace is
what we all long for, and what we git
tired ov the quickest. The man who
kan control hiz wants il the only one
who kan control hiz happiness. The
man whom you kan fatter yu kan abuse
at your leisure. Epitaffs are like cirkuss
bills, thare il great deal in the bills
that liz never performed. 1t don't pay
to be mean no man ever dun mean
thing yet without being dissatisfied with
it. All ov the successful vices have
made their debut under cover ov some
one ov the virtews. Cerimonys in soci-
ETY. are absolutely necessary to preserve
good order most people have no other
idee ov good breeding than cerimonys.

French Law.

Some things they do not manage much
better in France. A young American
while crossing one of the Paris streets
not long since, endeavored to avoid a
passing carriage, but was thrown upon
his back, and besides other injuries re-
ceived in the fall had his right arm frac-
tured near the elbow. He was conveyed
to his hotel, and few days afterward
was waited upon by the officers of the
law, brought before the court and fined
$500 for allowing the accident to happen.
There was no recourse, it was French
law, and that was enough. His land
lord, in endeavoring to console him for
this singular decision, remarked: ssWhy,
Monsieur, it was only last year that one
of my guests got killed, and it cost his
estate $4,000 to settle with the Prefec-
ture."

Down in this cellar, in an old barrel
half-filled with shavings, lived Mistress
Taboy, and with her family of three
pussy cats. One day, tired of playing
about the cellar, they decided to ask
their mother if they couldn't go across
the street and call the pussy cats that
lived in the barn there.
"As you've all had pretty good les
sons to-day you may go for just little
WHILE"
They were SO glad that they went and
threw their front paws around mamma
pussy's neck and kissed her, one after
the other, and then they all rushed across
the street and up to the barn door. 1t
was closed. That was a funny thing,
they thought, for always before they had
found it open, and at least one pussy
cat waiting to receive orders. Around
the barn they went, and not asingle puss
did they see.
"Perhaps they are in here" said one,
as they were sorrowfully walking past a
low open window. "Let's look in
It was pretty dark, and the first pussy
put her head in. The rest pushed SO
that the first kitty went heels over head
down in the pig pen--for that is what it
was. Then they all sat down on their
tails and said go DEAR" as many as four
times.
Just then the other pussies came up.
They had been down in the meadows
playing with the butterflies.
+" What is down there?"
GA pig as big as pony" they said.
Now Htties can see in the dark, you
know, and the one that had tumbled
in scrambled on what she thought was a
great pile of dirt. The pile got up and
grunted. It was the pig himself. Pussy
kept on his back and Mr.. Pig walked
slowly over by the window to see what
all those kittens were crying about out
side. Pussy was SO light he didn't fee
her at all. Now there was an ear of corn
lying on the ground near at hand, and
they went and rolled it with their paws
over to the window, and fixed it o thai
the end hung just where the pig could
see it. Then the pig of course got ul
on his hind legs to reach for the corn
and pussy ran up his back, and putting
one paw on his nose sprang out into the
barn yard. They pig sneezed, and pussy
ran home, and was all washed and clear
again in time to go back and have {
splendid game of puss in the corner will
the rest.

The Largest Iron-cIad Yet.
[London Cor. New York World

The most powerful iron-clad built was
launched at Portsmo 18th on Thursday,
the Princess Louise presiding at the cere-
mony. The new vessel, the Infexible,
is an immensely strong ship, but the
seventy fve-ton Krupp gun can pierce
her through and through at 1000 yards
distance. When is this thing to stop |?
Even if it should be found possible to
build ship which would withstand the
heaviest guns-and guns of one hundred
tuns, with nineteen inches caliber, are
now being made for the italian navy
every vessel is liable to be sent to the
bottom by wretched little torpedo.

! On Tuesday of last week an old mar,
giving his name SIS George A. Clark.
from Friendship, Adams county, was
arrested at WATERFOWL on charge of
receiving money under false pretenses
from A. B. Hitchcock. After he was
lodged in the county jail he was inspect
ed by Mr.. Daniel Comins, of Clyman,
who was chasing up some one whose de-
scription corresponds with Clark's for
trading COW with his son for a silver
watch and So in money. Clark had
stolen the COW from J. M. Mccoy, of
Fox Lake, who, having traced the COW
to Mr.. Comins, claimed her and took her
home, leaving Mr.. Comins out watch
and So.
A SAD affair happened at GAINESVILLE on
Wednesday of last week. A young man
named Gaffney and daughter of John
Kemmett, all Of that city, were clandes-
timely married some few days previous
ly, the parents of the latter being op-
posed to the match. Gafney is car
penter, and, while at work, Kemmett
and wife went to his house and carried
the young woman away. Gafney had
warrant issued for Kemmett's arrest,
and waited at the Police court for him
to be brought there. They met at the
foot of the stairs leading up to the court
room, when Kemmett attacked Gaffney,
who ran up stairs, calling for help.
Kemmett caught him by the foot and at
tempted to drag him down, when he
turned and struck Kemmett several
heavy blows with hammer he had in
his hand, breaking in Kemmett's skull.
Gafney was at once arrested, but will
undoubtedly lie discharged.

The Two "DuckeYS.0

A Cleveland drummer, says the
Leader, was in Elyria few Sundays
ago, and while sitting in his room heard,
from the next room, the mysterious ques
ton and answer:
"Whose duckey are you ?"
elise your duckey r
A few moments passed, during which
the drummer sat in open-mouthed Won
der, and the silence was again broken:
WHOSE duckey are youg"
else yoetr duckey y
Unable to stand it much longer alone
the Clevelander hurried down to the
office, learned that a newly-married
couple were in the house, invited three
other drummers to hear the fun, and tip
toed back to his room. The wicked
quartet crammed their handkerchiefs In
their mouths, and during the next quar-
ter of an hour heard that fond conun-
drum put and answered no less than four
times bv the unconscious rustic and his
blushing bride.
At dinner, as luck would have it, the
bride and groom were seated between
two of the drummers, while the original
discoverer of the bonanza sat opposite.
The table had been cleared of the sub
stantials and orders for dessert had been
given. At that moment spirit of mis-
chief took entire possession of the Cleve-
lander. Leaning across the table, he
looked archly at his nearest friend, and
in dulcet tones propounded the conun-
drum:
"Whose duckey are you?"
The other chap was equal to the emer-
gency, and in tones of affected sweet
ness got in his answer:
"I'se your duckey T.
Two scarlet rustic faces, the futter of
white dress through the doorway, two
vacant seats at the table, and four crazy
drummers laughing till the tears ran,
flashed across the vision of the spectator
as the curtain fell.

as they get the use OF wings, they roam
about and fill every place In search OF
food. Meantime they are giving sus-
senance to the whole race of spiders,
they maintain all the swallow tribe, and
contribute greatly to the support OF
many other small birds, and even
afford many delicate morsel to the
/ fishes. Their own numbers, however,
seem scarcely diminished, and vast null
titudes live on till the cold weather
comes and puts an end to them. Were
nothing to touch them, they would
probably become so numerous as to
starve each other. AS it is, they are full
of enjoyment themselves, and are the
source of life and enjoyment to creatures
which, in their turn, supply the want OF
others.
SIT is no charity, then, to tear a
spiders web in pieces In order to set a
fly at ibertys
Phone at all-no more than it
would be to demolish the traps of poor
Indian hunter who depended upon them
for his dinner. They both act as nature
directs them. Shall tell you story {?
Sob, yes; pray do
PA venerable Brahmin, who had
never in his life eaten anything but rice
and milk, and held it the greatest of
crimes to shed the blood of anything
that had life, was one day meditating on
the banks of the Ganges. He saw
little bird on the ground picking up ants
as fast as it could swallow. g Murder
GUS wretch |" cried he Sc what scores of
lives are sacrificed to one gluttonous
meal of thine?" Presently hawk,
bouncing down, seized the bird in his
claws and flew off with him. The
Brahmin was at first inclined to triumph
over the little bird but on hearing his
cries, he could not help plying him.
"Poor thing" said he, "thou art fallen
into the clutches of the tyIant?" A
stronger tyrant, however, took up the
matter for falcon in midair, dsrting
on the hawk, struck him to the
ground, with the bird lifeless in his
talons. "Tyrantagainst tyrant, thought
the Brahmin, ."well enough" The
falcon had not finished tearing his prey
when lynx, stealing from behind rock
on which he was perched, sprang on the
bird, and having strangled him, bore
him to the edge of neighboring thicket
and began to suck his blood. The
Brahmin was attentiyely viewing this
new display of retributive justice, when
sudden roar shook the air, and huge
tiger, rushing from the thicket, came
like thunder on the lynx. The Brahmin
was near enough to hear the crashing
bones, and was making off in great
terror, when he met an English soldier
armed with his musket. He printed
eagerly to the place where the tiger was
making his bloody repast. The soldier
leveled his gun and laid the tiger dead.
'Brave fellow!'' exclaimed the Brah
min. ct am very hungry" said the
soldier: g can YOU give me beefsteak9
I see you have plenty of COWS here.
g Horrible !" cried the Brahmin "what,
I, kill the sacred COWS of Bramah! !"
"Then kill the next tiger yourself" said
the soldier.

force she will have four guns of eighty
one tons each. She may be described as
a monitor, Is feet wide and 10 feet long,
with walls Al inches. thick, foateo by the
addition of an unarmored bow and stern.
The monitor, or citadel, is twelve feet
high, half above and half below the
water within its walls are the engines,
the boilers, the base of the turrets, the
hydraulic machinery for loading the
guns, and the magazines. Her guns will
carry proiectiles weighing 1850 pounds
and measuring sixteen inches in diane
ter. The launch was perfectly successful,
and when the immense vessel took the
water she was not half so bad-looking as
she seemed to be when on the ways.

Table Rules for Little Folks.

Table Rules for Little Folks.
In silence I must take NV seat
And give God thanks before eat;
Must for my food in patience wait
Till am asked to hand my plate.
I must not scold, nor whine, nor pout,
Nor move my chair nor plate about;
With knife, or fork, or napkin ring
must not play, nor must sing;
[ must not speak a useless word,
For children must be seen-not heard;
/ must not talk about my food,
Nor fret if don't think it good;
I must not say I" The bread is DID,"
EsThe tea is hot, +" The coffee's cold ;"
must not cry for this or that,
Nor murmur If my meat is fat;
Ny mouth with food must not crowd,
Nor while I'm eating speak aloud.
Must turn my head to cough or sneeze,
And when ask. say, :" If you please"
The table cloth must not spoil,
Nor with my food my fingers soil;
Must keep my seat when have done,
Nor round the table sport or run;
When told to rise, then I must put
Ny chair away with noiseless foot,
And lift my heart to God above,
In praise for all his wondruIs love.
