A Successful Artlfce.

Scene in Paris: Mime X has recently en-
gagged a waitress, who has been particular
ly recommended for her honesty and other
good qualities. On coming home the other
day, she found that her desk, in which she
was in the habit of keeping her money, had
been opened and hundred franc note ex-
tracted. Nine. X told her husband, and he
instructed her what share TO take in the
dinner conversation, by which he thought
the money could be quietly recovered. At
dinner, in the presence Of the waitress,
Nine. Y said TO her husband "Have you
seen NJ. Durand this morning." "No, my
dear, it is impossible to zee NJ Durand just
at present" "Why so?' His mornings
are now spent in the criminal court, on ac-
connt of the recent thefts perpetrated by
his cook. Unfortunate girl TO steal 100
francs, and in return be certainly con-
demned to the galleys" "To the galleys ?"

at dinner; but one hour later tine bank note
was found returned to its proper place il

An Arabian Beroine

A romantic story is told by the foreign
journals OF an Arab girl who has been the
leader in their combats with the Turks
The girl was the daughter Of a chief and
married to a warrior of her tribe who was
murdered by the Turks. The young widow
made vow TO avenge his death upon the
soldiers Of the Padishah. The Emir, touch
ed by the prayers and tears of his child,
called upon the tribe, the whole of the
Bedouin horsemen of the Benz Hawai-
rising in consequence against the domina-
ton of the Padishah. The daughter of the
Emir, armed like the men, and carrying
their banner like Joan of Arc, was always
foremost in their attacks upon the enemy,
closely followed by her father, the Emir,
her brothers, and the remainder OF the
horsemen. The Turkish government has
sci price on her head, in order to capture
her and stop the slaughter of the soldiers.
The Arabian poets have made the heroine
the subject Of their songs, and she is now
the most famous parsonage in the district
af Radar

A Full House.

Susan b. Anthony's lecture at Masonic

and appreciative audience. The lecturer
made an eloquent and convincing argu-
ment in favor of giving the ballot to wo-
men. She proved conclusively by numer-
Gus instances in the history of this country
and England that all classes of persons who
obtained the franchise we're greatly bene-
fitted thereby. She portrayed the wrongs
long suffered by the female sex in the UNI

Be the great panacea for the ills of woman,
as the power it gave would be respected and
woman could then legislate for herself.
Her arguments for woman suffrage are con-
vincing and unanswerable. The discourse

country can produce.-KulsriRe NO.

a PROTEST.

The ladies of the National Woman Sui
fraye Association are circulating, for sigma
tures. a protest, to be presented Ito the men
of the United States, in celebration OF the
nations centennial birth day, at Phila-
delphia, July 4th, 1876" setting forth the
fact that one half the citizens Of the Re
public are still unenfranchised, and COM
pelIed to submit to taxation without rep
resenta.ion," and concluding as folloHs.:
We protest before the assembled nations
of the world against the centennial celebra-
ton, as an occasion for national rejoicing. as
only through equal, impartial suffrage, can
genuine Republican form of government
be realized.
With pride we may point the world to
our magnificent domain, our numberiess
railroads, our boundless lakes and Rivera,
our vast forests, and exhaustless mines, our
progress in the arts and sciences, our In
ventions in mechanical and agricultural
implements, but in human rights how false

main.

THE GIRLS.

Formerly ii was maxim that young
woman should never be married until she
had spun herself a set of body, table and
bed linen. From this custom all unmar-
ried women were termed spinsters.
When Boston girl breaks her en-
gagement with q man and her friends ex-
portulate with her, she only has to say his
views on the theosophic doctrine of Cos
mogony are loose and they realize At once
how impossible it is for any true woman to
risk her happiness with such person.

Severe On the Defendant.

The Indianapolis Neus asserts that re-
cord of Squire Harding's court, at Jasper,
Rensselaer, county, Indiana, reads rs fol-
lows: "The case being called for trial,
plaintiff not appearing, the defendant ap-
pearing in his own proper person, and be-
ing duly sworn as witness in his own be-
half, saws he is only indebted to the plain
tiff in the sum OF nine dollars, ard, there
being no farther testimony, the court, hav-
ing judicial knowledge of the fact that the
defendant is the worst liar in the county,
finds for the plaintiff for the full amount,
viz: the sum of SIS. 1t is therefore ordered
by the court that the plaintiff do have and
recover of and from the defendant the sum
of Sl3, together with the costs and charges,
and that me have execution thereon, and
that he collect his judgment if he can"

There is an old gentleman that comes
down town on foot every morning, who ap-
pears to he a great friend to dumb animals.
Whenever he sees a dog scratching at
store door to be let in he promptly opens 1t
for the animal. The other morning he
made a mistake in the dog business. He
let one in, and coon the same canine came
rushing between his legs, nearly throwing
him down, and covering the lower part OF
his pantaloons with paint, A man with
oyeraIls ON WAS chasing the dog, trying to
get line shot at him with a paint brush
he had in his hand. The old gentlema an
expostulated with the irate painter, for
such he proved to be, saying:
@My good man, why do You wish TO hurt
that dog?"
because he has tipped over my paint
and made an internal mess Of everything.
Some blasted old idiot let HIM into the
store when we were all trying TO keep him
out while / was doing some painting; he
Jumped through the door, stuck his forelegs
into the paint-pot, and tipped it over.

Cleaning Floors With Oranges.

That's shocking, is n'tit2 But then, they
have more of them than We do, for it is in
Jamaica that they make scrubbing brushes
of oranges, and you may be sure it's true,
because Mr.. Gosse saw them do il. The
floor was of hard, polished wood, and, before
the family were out of beG, two or three
colored servants scrubbed over the whole OF
it with sour oranges, cut in halves. when
the Juice was rubbed out of one piece, they
would take another, and SO they used up a
big trayful Of them. A polish was put on
by rubbing with cocoanut husk, and the
floor looked "a If it had been waxed.

The Street Gamipg,

A new industry has lately sprung up in
New York. Unhappily, it conflicts with
Sabbatarian ideas but still it grows. Every
Sunday the pedestrian who walks up Broad
way, fortunate in the enjoyment Of stiffness
after the roar of the busy week, sees sue
cession of jealous boys picking away at the
street pavement with all sorts of extempor-
lied implements, as earnest at this Sunday
labor, as the miner of Nevada after gold or
silver. What are the youngsters after ?
The junk dealers can tell you. They are
digging ont the bits Of iron sticking between
the stones, and broken off from the shoes
of horses. All the way from the. Park to
Union square you see them, down on knee
and prying away at the embedded metal.
They find placers in every block, and We
