Philanthropy Begins Abroad.

The phi.anthropists to whose exer-
tons we owe the abolition of ssSuttee"
in India, says the London Observer, can
not possibly do better than turn their
attention to the details of an inquest
held last week, at Sheffield, on the BODY
of girl named Alma Oldale, aged
eighteen, who was literally roasted alive
to make a Christian holiday. = The poor
creature was engaged, at q few pence
a night, to figure among the clouds in
a "grand transformation scene" She
had to stand at some height above the
stage, on a cross-bar of iron, and to be
strapped, for her own safety, to an iron
bar, while her costume was that which
stage tradition assigns to fairies, con-
sisting mainly of muslin with-accord-
ing to the exact letter of the inquest re-
ports-one thickness of calico under It..
In the course of the scene in question,
in which she figured as one of the me-
teoric fairies with which every audience
is now familiar, a gauze curtain at the
wings caught fire. The fire spread to
the girls dress, and, standing as she
was, strapped to the iron bar, she was
TO put the matter exactly-roasted
alive. The jury returned verdict of
"accidental death,'' and added to it a
s'rider'' to the effect ethat some means
ought to be adopted for rendering the
dresses of girls employed in theaters,
and the gauze of the scenery unintiam-
mable.'' ai

A Honlely Mans Wit.

Abdul Aziz-says Lord Staleybridge
lis not impervious to the shafts of wit
Once in his younger days, as he was
hunting in the valley, he met one morn
ing as the day dawned an uncommonly
ugly man, at the sight Of whom his
horse started. Being nearly dismount-
ed, deeming it a bad omen, he called
out in a rage to have his head struck
of. The poor peasant, whom they had
seized and were on the point of execut-
ing, prayed that he might be informed
of his crime. "Your crime," said the
Sultan, SIS your unlucky countenance,
whichis the first object l saw this morn
ing, and which had nearly caused me to
fall from my horse "Alas!'' said
the man, "by this reckoning what term
must I apply to your Majesty's coun-
tenance, which is the first object my
eyes met this morning, and which is to
cause my death?'' The Sultan smiled
at the wit of the reply, ordered the man
to be released, and gave him present
instead of taking off his head.

A correspondent OF the Liverpool
DAILY Post tells a story Of the Interim
peror Napoleon which looks true, as It
is so strangely characteristic Of him.
It was his chief amusement during bis
last illness to muse over q collection Of
caricatures Of himself which had ben
published during his reign and after hii
fall. The writer thinks he was 30 mis-
cradle that he found pleasure only in
nursing his sorrow; but thereis another
explanation possible. The Emperor,
who had lived much with artists, knew
that caricaturists, if numerous, raFely
fail to catch a mans inner weakness,
and was studying the collection to dis-
cover the quality in himself which Pc
ought, in the interest of his dynasty, y
have suppressed. unfortunately NJ
first defects were such as no carical.F,,
ist catches. Neither Cham nor Tennlei
could show that Napoleon disliked nen-
tai ability, and enjoyed before al i.all.

A FRESH story about Robert Houdin,
the sleight-of-hand performer, is told
in a new London book. He once en-
tertained with his tricks company of
Arabs. in Algeria. After feat with a
gun, an old Arab asked the privilege of
shot with his own pistol. Houdin
consented, but deferred the trial until
the next day. In the interim he made
two balls of wax and lampblack. One
of these he made hollow, and filled it
with blood. At the performance he al
lowed the Arab to choose lead bullet
from a saucer full, but in loading the
pistol contrived to use the solid wax
counterfeit. OF course the trickster
was not injured by the firing. "Bah!''
he said, "you have been unable to draw
blood from me with bullet, but 1 will
draw blood from yonder wall..' He
loaded the pistol again, using the other
prepared ball, and the stain of blood
that it left on the wall astounded the
Arabs.

Manufacture Of Nitro. Glycerine.

Professor Mowbray will put up two

late glycerine works. It is intended to
SO model the new works that by q sup
ply OF warm and cold air, and warm

from thawing out when i has CONCEAL

At the close of each days work the Lass
vestiges, whether of nitro.glycerine.
acid vapors, or water impregnated with
the same, will be entirely cleared away.
As originally constructed these works
were not completed in this respect, and
although frequent reconstruction and
additions have been made from time to
time, stillthe unwillingness to tear down
and use pick and crowbar over the site
of the old buildings prevented a thor

An Old Maids Essay on Man.

Let us take bird's-eye view of the
men as we now find them-men with
their "noble passions'--their promi-
nent qualifications. What is their
love? Egotism. Their heroism? Brut-
ish dare-devilism. Their cleverness?
Imaginary. Their vows of love?, Per-
jury. Their faith and fidelity? A
broken reed. And where they are good
natured, you may be sure it is from stu
pidity. They are saving when they are
to settle household accounts. Generous
towards girls-young, inexperienced
chits. Severe judges of morals-to-.
ward their wives. Full of devotion
toward pretty house, nurse and waiter
girls. They Gtenderly care for their
horses, dogs, etc., and are amiable
everywhere but at home. The married
men can be classified as -r

Men are like scarecrows-they are
found on forbidden grounds. They are
like bees, they hum about and surround
the most ravishing flowers, taste their
sweets and fly away. Men are like swal-
lows, they often seek the dirtiest corners
to build their nests. They are like Cal
ifornia gold, sought after in places
where they are not found, and found
where nobody would suspect them to
be. Like organs their tenderest tones
are nothing but wind. Like cigars,
more smoke than fire. It would be easy
to continue, but / desist,, in the hope
that have said enough to warn my in
experienced sisters. Beware of them, OF
rather initiate one who knows, and make
them beware ofyou.-I Indianapolis Sun

The Tramp's Ssliloquy.

elf I just had all the money I've
squandered for whisky exclaimed a
ragged tramp, as he sank in detected
posture upon the City Hall steps, Mon
day. The words and mournful tone at
tracted the attention of minister who
was passing. Approaching the tramp,
"And what would you do, my poor
fellow, if you now had the substance
you have wasted in riotous livingP You
would abandon your present ungodly
ways, and strive for the peace which
lies only in the paths of sobriety and
righteousness, would you not?"
"What are We giving me?" asked the
vagabond, in surly tones. A.
Nothing, my friend. I am sorry
that it is not in my power to give you
any thing. My supply of this worlds
goods is meager, and l cannot give that
aid to earth's suffering creatures which
my sympathies often prompt me to be-
stow. Spiritual comfort would gladly
give, but as to earthly

"Nay, my friend, I am not far ad-
vanced in years, and the term, 'old
man. suits me not" 4
"What dye say to third term,
then?''
"Facetia lily becomes your condition,
unfortunate man. Your levity pains
me. Methought you were struck with
penitence, and were a brand fit to be
plucked from the burning. When I
heard your lament for the money you
had dissipated in strong drink, and your
wish that it was still in your possession,
it struck me that you had tired of the
husks of the world and were ready to
forsake your way Of living. o, harden

"Don't pass around any contribution

I'm. broke" gag = sRa g wy
With heavy sigh, the good man
turned to depart, when the dilapidated
wretch raised his head for the first time
during the conference, and said:
''If had all the money I've spent
for drink-if l had it all right now in a
pile-I tell you I'd git ON the rip-roar-
in'est old drunk you ever saw. I'd set
'em up for all the boys, an 'make things
howl. I'd stand this town on edge an
butt holes through it. I'd"
His nearer retreated in horror around
the corner, and the tramp, with grim
smile, relapsed into the mood of medi-
tation and soliloquy which the mistaken
minister had Jared upon.-BrunsUick
