A Novel Dodge.

Since the opening of the Centennial
Exposition thieves and confidence men
have poured into Philadelphia in the
hope of reaping rich harvest from what
is known to them as "suckers," or people
from the rural districts visiting the show.
The other day man, evidently farmer,
left bundle containing twelve new
shirts (for which he had disbursed 1850
at saloon near Fifth and Chestnut
streets, promising to call for them in the
afternoon. A number of men were in
the place at the time, and later in the
day man stepped in, took drink, and
left bundle similar to that deposited
by the countryman. In about an hour
and half the fellow called, remarked,
81 guess I'll take that package now, I"
and decamped with the shirts belonging
to the gentleman from the rural districts.
In the evening the farmer claimed his
bundle, and, in laying it upon the bar,
one end was accidentally torn open, re-
vealing bundle Of old newspapers. The
farmer still mourns the loss of his linen.

Military Discipline in China.

A terrible instance of the severity OF
the military discipline enforced by GER
tain Chinese officers occurred only the
other day at Soochow. AS band of
soldiers were being marched through
the town the attention of one of the
men was attracted by an itinerant needle
woman-one of those virtuous and use
full ladies whose whole stock in-trade
consists OF housewife, a thimble, and
little stool; and this man, it seems,
took the liberty of patting or stroking
the womans cheek as he passed. Up
sprang the outraged lady, and retorted
in good set terms, treating the adven-
turous warrior to sound bit of her
mind at the top of her injured voice.
The officer in charge stepped up to her.
"Don't make such q noise," he said,
quietly; "be patient, it shall not occur
again" The soldiers passed on, and in
a quarter of an hour the mans head was
adjoining the city walls. 1t is said the
woman, who had been the innocent
cause of the catastrophe was sadly grieved
at this unlooked-for and dreadful result.

A capital type of Chinese manhood is
to be seen in the person of stout mid
dle-aged merchant, who holds position
through many hours Of the day in the
southernmost compartment of the Chi
nese allotment-his queue, his shaver
head, his ample, well-formea figure, his
blandness, his serene content-the quick
intelligence and the contagious mirthful-
ness which light up his features az he
listens to the varying reports of his in
terpreter, are something as well worth
seeing as the curious wares in his exhib-
1T. His stalwart proportions, mated
with an alert shrewdness, give a better
lntimation of those directing forces
which preside over the great industries
of China than we are apt to get from the
saGlow laundrymen so familiar to us, or
from most of the subordinates in attend
ance upon the fair Donald q. Mitch
ell, in Scribner for October.

Going Into Winter Quarters.

BY mid October, most of the Rip Van
Wrinkles among our brute creatures have
laid down for their winter nap. The toads
and turtles have buried themselves in the
earth. The woodchuck is in his hiber-
naculum, the skunk in his, the mole in
his and the black bear has his selected,
and will go in when the snow comes.
He does not like the looks of his big
tracks in the snow. They publish his
goings and comings too plainly. The
coon retires about the same time. The
provident wood mice and the chipmunk
are laying by winter supply of nuts or
grain, the former usually in decayed
trees, the latter in the ground. 1 have
observed that any unusual disturbance
in the woods, near where the chipmunk
has his den. will cause him to shift his
quarters. For many successive days,
one October, L saw one carrying into his
hole, which was only few rods from
wheat which he had stolen from a near
field. But as our work progressed and
the racket and uproar increased, the
chipmunk became alarmed. He ceased
carrying in, and, after much hesitating
and darling about, and some prolonged
absences, he began to carry ont he had
determined to move if the mountain
fell, he, at least would be away in time.
So by mouthfuls, or cheekfuls, the
grain was transferred to new place. He
did not make "bee" to get it done,
but carried it all himself, occupying sew
eral days, and making trip every ten
minutes. Burroughs, IN .Scrsbner

The Tuileries.

A letter from Paris to the Philadelphia
Telegraph says. "The fate Of the ruins
of the Tuileries at last has been decided
by official decree. The ruins, massive,
picturesque, and useless, are to be re-
moved, and q building erected on their
site which is to serve as picture gal
lery and museum, probably as q gallery
for modern French pictures, as the LAX
embourg, now used for that purpose, is
VIGOROUSLY the worst adapted edifice for
picture gallery in the world. The
rooms are cramped, the light is bad,
and there is no possibility of an adequate
display of fully one-third of the art
treasures that should bedeposited there.
1t was at first suggested that the walls Of
the Tuileries should be left standing,
and merely the roof and interior replaced,
but there were grave doubts expressed
as to the soundness Of the foundations,
and so the last vestiges of the historical
palace Of Catherine de Medicis will
shortly disappear.

TOughened Glass.

The new process fo1 making tough
and unbreakable glass has been greatly
improved since it's first announcement,
and the material, in the form of lamp
chimneys, tumblers, etc., is now offered
in commercial quantities.. The success
attending the experiments already made
have inspired further research in the
same field, and number of new pro-
cesses, of more or less value, ore report
ed. In the original process, glassware,
raised 10 q red, on melting heat, ID
plunged into bath of oily and iatty mat
ter, and the result is to give the glass an
entirely new character. Instead OF
breaking with star like fractne under q
slight blow, it resists serious blows, and,
besides q certain amount OF elasticity
above that it had before, displays q
toughness and cohesion many times in
excess of it's ordinary character. Ii
broken at all, it disintegrates and flies
into great number of minute particles
resembling quartz sand.-Scribner for
October.

Stay with me, Poesyi playmate Of childhood, -----
Friend Of my manhood delight OF my youth Ir
koaner with me over valley and Wild wood.
Searching for loveliness, cropping for Truth
Stay with me, dwell with me- spirit Of Poesy:
Dark were the world II thy bloom should depart
Glory would cease in the sunlight and starlight,
Freshness and courage would fade from my heart.
Stay with me, comfort me. now more than ever,
When years stealing over me lead me to doubt
II men, aye and women, are all we believed them
When we two first wandered the green earth
about!
Stay with me, strengthen me, soother, adorner,
Lest knowledge, not wisdom, should cumber my
brain,
And tempt me to sit in the chair of the scorner,
And say, with sad solomon, all things are vain!
etay with me, lend me thy magical mirror!
Show me the darkness extnguished in light;
Show me to days little triumph of Error,
Fooled by Tomorrow great triumph Of Right!
Stay with me-nourish me-robe all creation
In colors celestial of amber and blue;
Magnify littleness-glorfy commonness-
Pull down the false, and establish the true.
Stay with me, Poesy! Let me not stagnafe
Despairing with fools, or believing with knaves,
That men must be either the one or the other,
Victors victms-oppr ssors or slaves
Stay with me, cling 10 while thore IL life In me
Lead me, assist me, direct and control!
BE in the shade what thou vert in the sunshine,
Source of true bappiness-hght Of my soul!

Berlin.

AS we passed out of the Berlin station
we were handed cab tickets. The cabs
are single horse vehicles, the first class
costing twenty-five cents for an ordinary
drive, and the second, which are less
finely upholstered, something less. The
passenger hands his cab-ticket to a por-
ter outside who calls out the number on
it, and the carriage is at once driven up,
and the traveller gets IN without the least
delay or confusion. Berlin is not usual
ly reckoned one of the pleasantest cities
for long sojourn, notwithstanding its
many extraordinary attractions, for
pleasure seekers as well as students. 1t
is big enough, the traveller at once per-
ceives that, as he is driven through its
endless and broad streets, in which he
needs telescope to read the shop signs
on either side. You see ut once that
there are people enough, but they ore
lost in the desert spaces of the city for
not only are the streets broad, but open
places, tree-planted parks, small and
great, are so frequent that if the whole
population should leave the houses, no
uncommon crowding would take place.
Berlin is the sudden creation OF modern
wealth and talent, and not the growth of
ages in which genius developed itself.
You find some buildings to admire, but
few that specially interest you, inside or
out. The museum building is the best
in the city I; its Grecian front is very inn
posing, and its bronze groups are very
effective, so also are the frescoes of the
vestibule-at a distance. But Berlin,
as said, offers to the pleasure seeker as
well as the student all the attractions of
a great capital. Its opera and its thea
tiers are the best in Germany.--Berlin

4 Race for Life on a Trestle. Work.

A negro outran locomotive on the
high trestle work over the Chewalla
creek on last Sunday afternoon He
had started TO town by following the
railroad track, and had walked on the
trestle distance of about 100 yards,
when he was met by the outgoing train
for Montgomery. Instead OF getting
down under the stringers, as he might
easily have done, and been perfectly
safe, he got frightened and sought safety
in fight. He had 200 or 300 yards the
start o. the train, but he ran his 100
yards over cross-ties two or three feet
apart and forty feet high, and bounded
off the trestle and tr=ck about three feet
ahead of the engine. 1t was an exciting
and lively affair to those who witnessed
it.-Eufdtila (Ald,) News. ---

Editor Morning Star:
Notwlthstan ding the fact that of the Cstho-
lie congregations composing the Diocese of
Natohitoohes, Monroe 10. 1 believe, the second
in Importance, We seldom have the pleasure Of
reading in your valuable paper any oommuni-
cation relative to our large, devoted, and con-
stautly increasing congregation.
Iliterate ss I am, I shall endeavor Gas do
no not believe any one willy to give you faint
idea Of the pleasure which We have all, particu-
larry myself, experienced from witnessing this
evening the renewal of the Baptismal vows of
the twelve children, who, after o retreat Of four
days under the excellent direction of our
pious and Jealous pastor, Very Rev. Father
Enaut, made thsir First Communion this morn
ing. At A. NJ. there was grand High Mass
with Deacon and Subdeacop. Immediately
after the renewal of the VOWS by the First
Commandments, at 8 p. NJ, our good Pastor de-
Hvered an excellent address, setting forth the
many reasons why young women should ask
for and fly to the protection of the Blessed
Virgin Mary.
In conclusion. he advised the young ladies to
oonsecrate themselves to their Blessed Mother,
not only for TO- day, or to morrow, but for life.
They then, to the number of twenty, separately
and each speaking distinctly, read aloud the
the exercises this evening was the large num-
Der of Professionals who were in attendance.
