"Orders" For Women.

The London News says: "Freneh
women are so tar less fortunate than
their sisters IN most other Continental
countries that there Is no special order
or decorations for women in France,
and it is very rare thing for lady to
be awarded the red ribbon of the Legion
of Honor. AT the present time there are
not more than lour or i've ladies who pos
sess this distinction, and one Of them is
an English woman, Lady Pigot, who tend
ed The French wounded during the late
war. The ladies who care lor these out

ton must regret that they did not live
two hundred years ago, when, il they
had been lucky enough to win the good
graces of the Ducnesse de Maine, they
would have been able to sport the order
of the Honey Fly.' The witty Duchess,
granddaughter Of the great Uoude, and
vile of the Due de Maine, the natural
son of Louis XIV and Madame de Mon
tespan, held a literary court of her own
at SceauX, and exercised, with her
courtlers, all her ingenuity in inVenting
from time to time, some new diversion.
1t occurred to her one day that she would
institute an order of chlValry for both
sexes, and call it the Honey Fly
(Mouehe-a- -miel). The idea was taken

the order had to take the following oath:

dress OF the ord der. l swear that all my

come gall in my mouth, the wax talloW,
the flowers nettles, and may wasps and
hornets sting me.' The costume of the
order was a coat in cloth of gold,
spangled with silver bees, for the cAeya-
liers; and the ladies wore robe of green
satin, embroidered with silver bees, and
a diadem of flies in emeraids. The insti-
tuition OF the order was great success,
and the fetes in celebration of it lasted
many days at the Chateau de Sceaux,
which was the residence of the Duo and
Duchesse de Maine; but the order did
not outlive its foundress, whose latter
years were passed in serious study, and
who had long ceased to wear her

may wear broad stripes, or narrow,
bright coIors, OF dark, short pettlcoats,
or long (in moderation), as The public
wish you; but you must not buy yards

Why He Didn't.

There was a cogent reason, says NJ.
Quad, why a ten year cid boy living on
Dufield street, didn't have a stick of
gum in his mouth when he arrived at the
Cass avenue drinking fountain yester-
morning. Other boys had gum to chew
on, and when they expressed their sur
prise at his gross neglect OF boys
plalnest duty, he replied:
"Sposen a COW got into your garden
last night; sposen your father got up this
morning and saw all the onions kicked
over among the beets, the peas mixed
up with the lettuce aud the horseradish
all chawed up into strings; sposes he
just jumped up and down, and kicked
and howled, and wanted to kill some
body or something, would any of you
want to ask him Tor cent to buy gum
withP
The jury at once returned verdict in
favor OF the boy, and seven "cuds" were
torn apart to form one for him.

A Russo-German Treaty. .

just now all Europe is ablaze on the
subject of secret treaty between Rus
sia and Germany on the position, pres
ent and future, of Turkish affairs. The
discovery and publication of the docu-
ment purporting to be this important
treaty are shrouded in mystery to such
a degree as to throw grave suspicion
upon its authenticity. LII some quarters
it is regarded as a forgery; while many
prominent statesmen consider it essen
TALLY genuine. AS yet it has not been
disavowed by either German or Rus
sian authorities.
The circumstances connected with it
are certainly remarkable; and are OF
such q nature as to excite the deepest
interest in the political and diplomatic
circles OF Europe. 1t is known, by vari-
GUS announcements, that, by reason oil
some critical onjuncture, the King OF
Greece has virtually abandoned his
throne and left his kingdom. The public
announcement on this subject is that the
Kings return to Greece had been Sin
definitely postponed" but no reason
whatever was assigned for this; abdi-
cation, however, being understood.
1t is now asserted that the King, being
recently in Paris, departed suddenly TO
England. That the Russian Court, fear
ing the influence of England upon him,
entrusted to him in strict confidence
copy OF this secret treaty with letter
to the Russian representative in Lon
don. This letter, written in Russian,
authorized the Russian Embassa ador to
privately make known to the King the
fact of an understanding between Rus
sia and Germany on the subject of the
Eastern question. That this was done,
and thus the Indefinite postponement OF
King Oscars return to Greece is ac-
counted for. This paper was then
deposited in the archives of the Russian
Legation at London, whence 1t was sur
Teptitiously oDtaiaed for the British
Premier. To recover this document
three attempts, it is said, were made
to break into the Premier's house: and
fearing its loss, the document was pho
tographed for identification; and it was
through this that a Photographic copy
was in some manner obtained, and dis
posed of at Paris for publication; and
there it was first made public. lis ap.
pearance has been the cause OF this
present turmoil among the people and
diplomats of all Western Europe.
The document, If genuine, is most
important one; and the nature Of its
stipulations is such as to we'll account
for its secret negotiation. The first
article stipulates for joint action by Ger
many and Russia in all steps that may
be taken relating to European Turkey.

A Singular Suit.
[From the New Yorksun.l ]

A rather remarkable cause Of action is
set forth in the papers in the case OF
Emanuel Detsch against Morris LANCER
and Lyonce LANCER, which were SUBJ
mitted to Chief Justice DAILY in the
Special Term OF the Court of Common
Pleas recently. The plaintiff, it ap-
pears, is the Iather of young lady to
whom the tirst-named defendant had
been paying attentions during the early
portion OF last summer. LANCER offered
10 marry her within three months, pro-
yided the plaintiff would give him $500
in cash, and notes to the amount of
u, 600.
Detsch agreed to this proposition,
thinking, no doubt, it would be good
thing to help along his prospective SON
in-law. Accordingly written agree
ment was drawn up, containing the
offer and its acceptance, and DetOch
then delivered the money and notes to
Langer. The latter put the notes in the
custody OF his brother Lyonce, for sale
keeping. LANCER, alter obtaining the

A Bright Horse and a Stupid One.

The Boston journal relates the follow
ing: Among the many horses owned by
the Highland Street Railroad Company
is one that used to give the hostlers a
deal of trouble by slipping his halter
and roaming at will about the stable.
The halter was on each occasion
buckled on as tightly as possible, but to
no purpose, for the horse would invari-
ably be found half an hour aIterward
making a dignitied tour OF the stable.
This became monOtonous to the host
ler. and he determined to ascertain the
D,OduS Operdndt by which his equine
,rlend secured his liberty. Again the
halter was tightly bucked on, and TAX
ing seat where he could watch his
troublesome charge he awaited devel-
opments. Pretty soon horse that stood
beside the troublesome one was observed
| to poke his nose into his neighbor's stall,
and catching the end OF the halter strap
between his teeth he pulled at it. His
| first, second and third attempts to un-
oose the buckle were unayailing, but
with remarkable perseverance the horse
returned TO his work repeatedly, and
finally out dropped tn e buckle tongue,
the throat strap tell, and the horse OF in
qusiUive mind was soon stalking about
| the stable again. A change OF locatio n
was oil course a necessity. A large,
homely, pie-bald gelding, owned by this
company, used TO manifest strange re.
gard for white mare he formerly
worked beside. In the stable he was
hitched with a rope halter, and until a
chain was substituted he used to gnaw
off his halter, march deliberately to the
stall occupied by his mate, ana squeeze
himself into the same stall, whicn was
| only large enough 10 ACCOMMODATE one
horse comfortably, and good deal OF
effort was required to separate the
equines after tney had become wedged

money and the notes, ceased his court
ing of the plaintiffs daughter and dis
continued his visits to her fathers
house. When asked for an explanation
of his conduct he said he did not want
to marry the girl.
Demand was then made on him for the
surrender OF the money and notes, but
he refused to give them back. A suit at
law was therefore begun by Mr.. D9tsch
to recover the $500 in money, and the
present action in equity was also insti-
tuted, to restrain the defendants from
disposing OF the notes in any manner.
Chief Justice DAILY yesterday granted a
temporary injunction, restraining any
disposition of the notes, and an order to
show cause, returnable on Friday, why
the Injunction should not be made per-
manent.

A Snake as Thick as a Fruit Jar.
[From the Pottstown Ledger, S,


1t is reported that for some time the
residents of Blandon and vicinity,
Berks County, have lived IN great excite
ment and fear on account OF an enOr-
nous black snake which, it is said, has
been seen by several persons. The
monster is supposed to be about twenty
feet in length and as thick as common
fruit jar, and its mouth when wide open
large enough to take in mans head.
The eyes are of fiery red, and the mon
ster presents a terrible aspect. Civll
Engineer Zacharias, who visited the
neighbsrhood, says that A. W. Kauf-
man, Thomas Penrose, and other we'll
known persons saw the monster. Mr..
kaufman says that the snake reached
The length of two rails on the ground

cured his gun to shoot 1t, but was afraid
to fire.

keep Red Leary and his minions away
