with bis show. He said TINT he had done d
great deal s. to reyolutionize popular
sentiment in regard to eircus-going, and he
made it business, to invite clergymen to
see him wherever be went, in order that they
might see that he did nothing to offend the
moral sense Of the strictest society. BE
also made 1t a rule to invite all the orphans
Of the orphan asylums wherever lie went,
and he felt sure that he always added pure
happiness to the little ones hearts. He was
complaining of a temporary fndisposition,
but nevertheless seemed hale, hearty, and
iovial old .gentleman. He added, in re-
sponse to question assto the salaries of his
frst-class performers, that they got from
800 to $3.50 per day, or from 5000 to 5000
per week. = itts, -

Railway Travelling in Germany.

The German railways are not intended
for through travellers. The railway lines
laid upon the map look like q lace pat
tern-there are no straight lines. You
are always going round to call at some
town or another, which il uninteresting
for = stranger who has NO friends in the
towns. Not more than one express train
a day seems to 60 in any direction, and all
the others are as slow as New England
deacon's horse on Sunday.
However, don't mean to complain of
German railways; they are safe and CON-
Portable; If you want speed and damages
you Americans know where to 20. A
compartment of the second class, holding
eight persons, in German carriage, is .
snug place for . winter ride. 1t is 50 we'll
upholstered that you can ride on the seats
without fatigue, and sleep at your ease.
The compartment of the first-class is in
the same carriage, and differs only in a
little more luxurious upholstering. For
winter travel, when there is nothing to
see, these compartments are very nice;
for summer l prefer an American palace
car. But when the wind raves over des-
olate country there is 3 feeling Of snug
ness in these little apartments. The win
dows are all closed, everybody lights his
cigar. the lady, if one happens to he pres
ent, does not ever think Of saying that she
likes smoke-that is taken for granted
and soon the air is so thick that you might
imagine yourself in a beer hall, enjoying
yourself to the utmost.
Not that you are obliged to ride in
smoke; on probably all the trains there
are compartments distinctly set apart for
the not-smoking, and generally there is a
separate compartment for ladies.-Cor

Married and Mated.

A MADRID correspondent draws this
picture of q perfect pair: Mrs. r. is q
young and very pretty German woman
devotedly loved by ahusband, who thinks
her the queen of the universe, and who is
ready to sacrifice everything that she may
be satisfied; the love between them is very
sweet and idyllic, and she seems to me q
fair sample of ono type of the. sturdy
Northern race-an affectionate wife, yet
not too fond, wisely humoring her hus-
bands whims, but requiring enough OF
him to make him always feel that she Is
there, to be caressed and cared for, as in
their counting days. A careful mother,
but not at all nervous, seeing the children
atcertain hours, then leaving them with the
nurses while she practices her music,
reads and keeps pace with her husbands
interests, eating alone with him that the
all-engrossing care Of children may not
interrupt the pleasant tete.a-tete, after the
days separation-keeping his home and
herself attractive, but what is more than
all, think, making it palpable In every
act that she expects him to give as we'll as
to receive, and not allowing the sweet
courtesies Of betrothed and early marriage
days to slip by degrees into that familiarity
which too often brings indifference if not
contempt They have perfect confidence
in one another. He hears her 60 into ex-
travagances about the officers, sees her
blush and become prettily conscious when
looked at admiringly, and when his atten-
ton is laughingly called to it he simply
pats her hand as much as to say, 1--WE
understand one another" and in her turn
she enters as heartily into his admiration
of the dark-eyed Spanish girls as anybody
could, and only laughs when he tells Of
how he bought pair of gloves solely for
tho pleasure Of having them put on by
some graceful senorita.

An Idaho Incident.

A correspondent OF the Idaho World
gives particulars of the terrible hardships
endured by a man named Charles Stear-
ing, who left South Mountain last spring
and passed the summer prospecting on
Snake River. 1t appears that several
weeks ago he crossed the mountains from
the Payette on his way to his home in
Camas Prairie, Idaho County. While
pursuing his way alone in the mountains
away out beyond the Payetts he was
taken with pain in his side, and was
unable to travel for several days. He had
= limited quantity Of provisions, and had
to kill his horse to supply himself with
food. He had nothing in the shape Of
arms except . pocket-knife, and broke
that whiting kindling- wood. When his
provisions gave out he tied the broken
knife ON the back of an old comb and
killed and skinned his horse with it. 1t
took him five days to cross Packer Johns
Mountain, q distance of about eighteen
miles, and during these five days he had
nothing to eat and no blankets, having in
his sickness burned his blankets and all
extra clothing to start his fires. He wan
dered about in the snow and at length ar
rived at the habitation of Scribner 6 Wal
lace, in the vicinity of the Copeland Dig
gings, as nearly as We are able to judge
from the letter published In the World.
He was In . wretched plight, his feet and
hands being badly frozen.

Passing along one of the dirty passage
ways called streets in the walled city the

to the corner of building. The chain
was attached to heavy iron yoke about
his neck; his feet and hands were mana

board Of three quarters of an inch in
thickness and two and half feet square,
there being . round aperture in the center
20 q to secure fitting. The man had
been bambooed 30 that he could scarcely
stand. There he had remained exposed
to sun and storm, with only filthy rags to
cover his nakedness, for four long weeks,
his friends, very poor themselves, bring
ing him q scanty allowance of food, and
officials relieving him from the board-tor-
ture known a. the kangire for q few hours
at night, In order that he might get some
sleep, but replacing 1t at an early hour in
the morning, to be borne, with much suf-
fering, during the day. The wretch was
crouched down upon his legs; he could
not stand upright on account Of wounds
inflicted by the bamboo; he was reduced
almost to ! skeleton, but four weeks moro
Of this punishment he must endure, if life
held out, before the expiration Of his SEN
tence. The man was thief, and had not
money to secure immunity from or nit
igation Of punishment by means Of brib-
cry. We also visited the cages attached to
the District Court House, and saw . num-
