Women in the Seryian War.

Women play prominent part in the
Turco-Servian war, says correspondent
of London paper. A number of Rus
sian ladies have manifested their sym
pathy for the Servian cause by deeds as
well as words. ga few nights ago." he
writes, 81 returned from Semlin with a
middle aged lady, who was chaperoned
by young boy, her son, and the Rus
sian consul himself 1 ultimately ascer-
tanned that the lady in question was
Nine. Tichatoff, the wife of Muscovite
official, who was merely the forerunner
OF whole colony of her friends, all be-
longing to the best society, accustomed
to luxury and refinement, who are,
nevertheless, resolved to face the horrors
of the battlefield. One must have lived
for some time in Servia, and Travelled in
the interior of the country, to form an
idea of the privations and hardships
which await these brave nurses. Mos
quitoes abound, fevers are everywhere
prevalent, food is of the worst descrip
tion and the water hardly drinkable. Tc
devote oneself in such circumstances tC
tend the wounded is to accomplish {
piou5 aud touching work OF abnegation
From other quarters it is stated that th'
| st. Petersburg and Moscow societies arr
sending officers, surgeons. and Sisters o
Mercy to Servia, and, most important o
all, Gen. Tchernayeif received an ad
dress signed by ell the officers of Ger
| tain Russian regiment.

Oriental Manners.

Mr.. Edward King writes: The Orien-
tails at the Exhibition are perpetual
source of amusement. Their mild and
pleasant ways, even when they are en-
gagged in disputes, seem very funny to
the Western Caucasian. Their profuse
gestures and their picturesque costumes
have now become so common that even
the visitors from the country do not tlong
stare at them. But their manners of
thought are ever new fountains of de-
light for our people who come into con-
tact with them. Their ideas of our civil
lization are SO totally different from our
own, and often so much less favorable,
that we can hardly fail from time to time
to be shocked, but in general their curl
GUS views of things provoke only q
smile.
The Cypriote Greek who brought me
my coffee one evening at the Turkish
cafe answered, when l asked him how
he liked America: "Ho Merika good
place to make q money, not place to
live - Then drawing long breath, he
added: Breathe, MT live," by which
remark l suppose he meant to express
tho idea that mere existence was not
life, and that the only life worth having
WAS the sensuous, favored one OF his own
! delicious climate. An American friend
related to me his experience in studying
the character of very well bred Turk,
who lives in the same hotel wit1 him.
This Turk. who is beginning to speak
little English, is an affable, amiable,
round faced, well dressed gentleman,
who does not seem capable of harming q
fly. But the other day my friend seeing
the account in the morning paper of the
terrible massacre in Bulgaria, read them
aloud to the Turk, expecting from him
some deprecatory remarks. None came
the Turk smiled sweetly as he heard the
thrilling accounts of children impaled
upon bayonets, women stlangled, and
men hanged, and, rubbing his hands, he
said: Much good, kill more, stop wal
soon." Then, suiting the action to the
word, he went through the motions OF
tossing child on bayonet, and burst
into laughter, saying: "Much good
that make them much afraid" After
which he went on TRANQUILITY eating his
breakfast, as if his sentiments were quite
natural and justifable.

A Glance at Montenegro.

An English lady has been looking
about Montenegro, and her reports are
not hattering to the insurgents. Her
sympathies are with them and against
the Turks, but the pictu-es she draws OF
the people and their savage manners are
not fascinating. They are heroic, no
doubt, and full of patriotism, but one
can hardly call them interesting, or care
to have them for intimate associates.
She found the women in Montenegro in
an utterly degraded condition, only two
of them able to read and write. These
were the wives of the prince and of the
president of the Senate, and even they
have to do the household cooking and
to wait at the table. The women in
general do all the hard work in the fields
as well as in the house, and the men
touch none of the burdens even with
their fingers. She saw women stagger'
ing under heavy loads while the mel
walked beside them without thought oi
pity or of help. The Montene rim war,
rior was evidently "a fancy article thai
ought not to be expected to do anything
save fight in war and saunter about IL
his spleudor in time of peace" The
women, though poor and half starved
have great love for finery. They &c
about in rags, but keen their caps cover
ed with silver chains and coins. Somt
of them Lave ornaments that duchess
might envy.

A Chinese ElOpenent.

Chinese elopements are we'll managed.
None but the lazy deserve the fair; there
is neither ladder nor trellis to be scaled;
and the old gentleman is easily persuad-
ed that whatever is, is right. There was
Ho, the LATEST wight OF Hangchow, who
lived by odd jobs, and never could get
regular employment. One night, while
he was drinking tea in wayside inn, he
boasted that he would never do another
days work unless he could find rich
employer with pretty daughters. An
old screw named Tsiang, who overheard
the remark, was so enraged by it that he
engaged all the laborers who were pres
ent except Ho, and refused to give him
even nights lodging. Poor Ho vert
to sleep in Tsiang's back yard, and very
n.ournful was he. Suddenly great
bundle of clothes was thrown out of a
window. Thinking there were thieves
in the house, and not being in q mood
to protect the farmers household, he
put the bundle on his back and trudged
down the road with it Soon he heard
steps behind him. The infuriated farm
err Not so. 1t was only a pretty girl.
She joined him and walked by his side
without saying word or looking up al
him. On they went through the dark
night. mile after mile, and just as the
day was breaking they reached the vii
lage inn. Then she looked at him anC
shrieked. 1t was not the young cousin
who had wooed Ler to pack up hel
clothes and meet him at midnight. i
was only poor lazy Ho. Well, well,
she said "there is no help for it. W.
must get married as soon as possible.
Married they were; the old gentleman
behaved nicely; dowry, 100000.

The Man in the Moon.

Plutarch's dialogue on "The Visage
that is seen in the Moons Disk" says
Popular Science Monthly, has ever been
regarded as containing the sum and
substance of all mans notions and
knowledge of our satellite down to the
period when it was written. The very
title is provocative of mirth to lis, the
children of the modern time. The Wis
age in the moon Nowadays it only
suggests to the poet and theartist satirl-
cal ideas; in olden times it was the
starting point of profound p,editations,
which are held not to be unworthy of
being attributed to the most famous
philosophers and mathematicians of the
day. The author first, in all earnest
ness, demonstrates the absurdity of the
opinion which asserts the figure appear
ing in the moon to be nothing else than
an optical illusion arising from the
visual sense being dazzled by the bright.
ness of the moons disk. Next we have
q lengthy refutation of another opinion,
which says that the visage in the moon
is the reflection of our ocean. Among
roneousness of this opinion is this, that
there is only one ocean, and that, if the
visage in the moon were a reflection o1
it, then the ocean must be made up OF
parts separated from one another by
isthmuses and continents. The thiro
opinion CON bated by Plutarch is to the
effect that the moon is a mixture of all
and mild kind of fire; as sometimes
during a perfect calm the surface of {
body of water becomes ruffied-a thing
itself to be demonstrated-so, too, doe
the air assume blackish color; thus il
explained the appearance as of human
face in the moon. The hypothesis O
the Stoics, who affirmed the moon to b.
a globe of fire, on the surface of whicl
rests the atmosphere, is rejected on tn
ground that in that case the moon woult
need some matter whereon to rest, anC
from which it might derive fuel for it
fire. We are informed that, according
10 Pindar, the earth is popped up al
round by pillars with bases of adamant
whereas, according to the Stoics, sh
has no need of supports, being situat
in the center of the universe towar
which all things tend. This last rsasol
is declared to be untenable, because til
earth, whose surface IS SO broken wit
elevations and depressions, must the
be considered as spherical, and tina
would imply the existence of antipode
clambering up and down the earth
sides like lizards.

The American. People.

I had heard of the degeneration of
your stock from the English type, says
Prof. Huxley, of England, in q lecture
at Buffalo. L have not perceived 1t.
Some years ago one of your most dis
tinguished men of letters, equally loved
and admired in England and America,
expressed an opinion which touched
English feeling somewhat keenly-that
there was difference between your
women and ours after reaching a certain
age. He said our English women were
"beefy." That is his word, not mine.
Well, 1 have studied the aspect of the
people that l have met here in steam
boats and railway carriages, and L meet
with Just the same faces, the main diff
ference as to the men being in the way
of shaving. Though I should be sorry
to use the word which Hawthorne did,
yet in respect to stature for fine portly
women, think the average here fully
as great as on the other side. Some
people talk of the injurious influence of
climate. l have seen no trace of the
"North American type" You have
among you the virtue which is most no.
table among savages, that of hospitality.
You take us to bountiful dinner, aud
are not quite satisfied unless we take
with us the plates and spoons. Another
feature has i'm mpressed itself upon ne.
L have visited some of your great uni
versities and met men as well known in
the old world as in the new. I find GER
tain differences here. The English uni
versities are the product of government,
yours of private muni6cence. That
among us is almost unknown. The gen
eral notion of an Euglishman when he
gets rich is to found an estate and bene
tit his family. The general notion of al
American, when fortunate, is to dc
something for the good of the people
and from which benefits shall continue
to flow. The Ia ter is th3 nobler am.
bition.
1t is popularly said abroad that you
have no antiquities in America. If you
talk about the trumpery of three or foul
thousand years of history, it is true,
But, in the large sense as referring to
time before man made his momentary
appearance, America is the place tc
study the antiquities of the globe. The
reality of the enormous rmount of ma
teril here has far surpassed my antici
patton. | have studied the collection
gathered by Professor Marsh at New
Haven. There is none like it in Europe
not cnly in extent of time covered, bu
by reason of its bearing on the problem
of evolution whereas, before this col
lection was made evolution was o matte
of speculative reasoning, it is now
matter Of fact and history as much n
the monuments of Egypt. In that col
lection are the facts of the succession o
forms and the history of their evolution
