An Anecd0te about MacMah0n.

The following anecdote about Sub
Lieutenant de MacMahon, son OF the
president of the republic, was lately re-
lated by one OF his comrades He was
passing through Versailles, proud OF his
officers uniform, of which, however, a
false collar of not very regimental ap-
pearance diminished the severity. The
young officer passed q colonel who,
after having returned the salute. stopped
and reprimanded him for his unmilitary
appearance, and asked his name. But
scarcely had he glanced at the card pre-
sented by the young man to n he e1-
pressed his surprise at not having recog'
nized the son of the marshal, and was
profuse in his politeness. every well,
colonel, card for card" said the young
man. "I must ask for yours because L
have not the honor of knowing your
name" The colonel at once handed his
card. and the other at once went to the
EIysee to make complaint to his faith
ar. An hour after the colonel and sub
lieutenant were both ordered to contine
themselves to barracks for four days
one for his non ,regimental costume, and
the other for not having punished the

Among the BrigandS,

NJ. Domenico di Bernardo, a rich pro.
prietor of Sicily, was recently captured
by brigands. For eleven days and
nights they kept him marching through,
a thick forest at rapid pace. Except
that his companions never stopped be
fore any obstacle, whether a precipice or
torrent, NJ. di Bernardo had nothing
to,complain of in respect OF the treat
ment which he received at their hands.
The food with which they provided him
was of the most exquisite kind, and
such as could not be found in an ordi-
nary hotel in Italy. No luxury, even to
the finest ices, was wanting at their
table. The leader of the band, the ter
rible Leone, distinguished himself by
his politeness. He showed himself to
be a gentleman transformed into brl-
gand from a mere love the art. An
easy good humor prevailed in the socle-
ty of the robbers, and when, on the pay
nent of the ransom, he was released, his
guardians expressed their deep regret at
losing so pleasant a companion.

A Dance Of Death.

The Hon. Evelyn Ashley, step-grand-
son, biographer, and formerly private
secretary of Lord Palmerston, writes to
a London paper to explain, by means OF
a private letter he has received from a
very authentic source, the meaning OF
Mr.. Baring's denial of the statement
that forty Bulgarian girls were burned.
The statement was founded on misun-
derstandipg of a colloquial Turkish
phrase. To burn is yakmak, verb con-
stantly used in the sense also OF ruin.
Thus a debtor will say: "Do you wish
to burn me2" meaning to ruin me. The
truth as TO these girls is that they were
carried off, and have never been heard
of since. Mr.. Ashley's correspondent,
a consul, further tells him that after two
hundred men had been murdered in q
certain village, the Turks found some
more in hiding places, and told them
that if they would dance one of their ma.
tional dances they would let them OF.
So the poor fellows begun to dance. II
was dance Of death. The rufians sho,

Rabbit Warfare in New Zealand.

Some years ago a colonist, with the
idea OF benefting New Zealand, took
out few. pairs of rabbits and turned
them out in the country, forgetting how
quickly these animals multiply, and
what little means there are, in country
so thinly populated, of keeping them in
check. The consequence is that farms
are devastated, crops are destroyed, and
the earth overrun with increasing
swarms of these destructive rodents, and
all the efforts of the colonists have been
futile to keep down their numbers. At
last happy idea struck some persons
who had suffered from this curious
plague. They determined to import
some weasels, thinking that by their
help they would be able to accomplish
the desired end, and they have offered
as much as $25 pair for healthy wea-
sells.
Weasels, however, object to anything
like confinement, and, as they would
probably die on the voyage out, Mr..
Buckland, to whose care the experiment
has been confded, has determined to
send out some polecat ferrets, which he
imagines will be even more valuable
farmers friends. In thus making use
of one branch of animal life to keep
check on another, and so to maintain
the balance CT power" between them,
he is simply following nature. They
have had instances of this scientific
adaptation in England in the employ,
ment of swans to destroy the supera:
bundant growth of weeds in rivers and
ponds, and in the protection of insect
eating birds to defend crops from the
attacks of insect pests. 1t is to be hoped
the tattle of nature will be fought ont
to the satisfaction of the colonists OF
New Zealand, and that they will not
have cause presently to import some new
addition to their fauna to keep down
the too rapid increase of polecat ferrets.

A New Plague in Egypt.

A letter from Alexandria says : A new
calamity now engages the attention OF
all Egyptians even more than the fnan-
cial DEGREES of the khedive or the re-
fusal of the government to accept the
judgments of the new courts. 1t seems
that many of the cavalry horses that
have returned from Abyssinia in the last
two months came with most malignant
disease upon them. The doctors pro
nounce it kind of typhoid fever. 1t Is
most infectious and terribly rapid in its
progress, death resulting in many cases
in few hours. 1t is stated, and on
good authority, that the government, in
stead of isolating the infected animals,
sold them all at very low prices to the
tellaheen. Thus they have been dis
tributed throughout the country, and in
the reighborhood of Cairo alone several
hundred horses are already reported
dead. A well informed correspondent
thus describes in the Delta the effect OF
this epidemic in one of the busiest dis
tricts cit is ravaging now among the
horses, mules and donkeys OF our dis
trict most furiously. and many villages
are named where not one horse has es-
capped the disease. It is to be feared
that this calamity will interfere very
disagreeably with our work, as the cart
men will be short of horses, and the
donkeys to carry seed and cotton to tie
stations will be very scarce. The gov
ernment is alone to blame that the dis
ease has spread so quickly over the
country, selling everywhere for napo-
leon or a pound the sick cavalry horses
returned rom Abyssinia, instead of iso-
latipg them"

The English Corn Trade.

The Mark Lane Erpress, In review
of the British corn trade, says the
amount of moisture in the noftn mas
again been excessive; harvesting conse-
auently proceeds very slowly: oucn
cereals as have been carried in In an un-
satisfactory condition are likely to suffer
further detriment in stack. In the MID
lands considerable quantity OF beans ls

tirely stopped by the continuous ram

better and the cereal harvest is now fair-
" over. As it has been Impossible 70
thrash freely of late the supplies OF
wheat at the principal markets have
AGAIN been light. and the bulk In damp
and inferior condition. Such qualities
only have been salable at decline OF a

foreign wheat into London have again

or Canada. The imports for the frst
five weeks of the cereal year were ., ,65i,'
$40 cwt., against 7,840, 1873 cwt. tor the
corresponding period last year. These
facts enforce the opinion that unless
America and Russia ship much more
freely than of late prices must rise lur'
tber in order to attract the necessary
snnplies from abroad. The more serious
aspect of the Eastern question for some
days has perhaps somewhat influenced
buyers. Russia's going to war would
doubtless cause considerable excitement
in the grain trade, as short shipments OF
red wheat from America and elsewhere
render the Russian supply for the time
being our main reliance. The local trade
is almost unchanged, buyers and sellers
alike awaiting political events. There

An Exhibition Of Bees.

The London Times says : An exhibi-
ton of "bees, their produce, hives and
bee furniture" was commenced at the
Alexandra Palace, the show being ar
ranged in the large hall OF the building,
and thirteen long tables or stalls beng
covered with the exhibits. The idea OF
bee keeping in the mind OF the ordinary
city dweller appearsto be that it is some
thing practiced by poor cottagers to help
out their small incomes. But in Amerl-
ca, Germany and Spain there are "bee
farmers whose acres are covered with
hives. The general idea of hive is that
it is straw cap, something like dish
cover in shape, only round; that the
bees make their honey therein, a-d that
the poor cottager subsequently, to ap'
propriate the sweets, stiles the indus.
trious insects which have swarmed
there. Such was, no doubt, the actual
state of the case at one time; but such
an idea is very far from the truth nova
days. The straw hive has become a
"house of wood and glass, in which
the temperature is regulated by ther-
mometer; the bees are dealt with as
valuable property, not stiaed recklessly,
but manipulated by the "apiarian,
and the honey removed without the loss
of single bee, and without the least
damage to the comb" which it costs
the insects SO much labor to make. An
exhibition of this kind practically shows
all this, and one begins to understand
that bees where properly "farmed,
may yield a considerable profit when
one hive alone, as shown by an exhibitor,
can yield Ill pounds, twelve ounces OF
honey and comb, the valu0Gf which is

many of the exhibits new and cleverly

with two or more stories; some like cup

and some again like dovecotes and quite

on cog wheel action being called "e1

A Fable.

Once a fox and goat were walking
together along a road, and saw sack
lying against a hedge.
"What do you think is inside that
sack 2" said the goat.
"I will 90 and see, said the fox; and,
putting his nose into the mouth of the
bag, tied tightly by cord, he shook
about the bag so much that the string
at last gave way, and the finest carrots
one could wish for fell out.
"They are for me-" said the fox,
"for opened the sack"
eyes," said the goat; "but 1 gave
you the idea, and if you touch them 1
will tear your sides with my horns"
The fox looked at the goats great
horns and showed his teeth.
The goat, on seeing tie fox's teeth,
thought within herself: &C. don't much
like that kind of weapon"
And the fox said to himself 81 will
not expose my sides to those terrible
horns"
After minutes silence the fox said :
"Why do we stand looking at each
other9 What is the use of that3 Let
us see which is the stronger. See. there
are two heaps of stones. You shall take
one and I the other. He who shall first
throw down his heap shall eat the car
rots."
The goat put her legs firmly together,
and struck with her horns so hard as to
make great noise, but the heap did
not shake.
"Ah you do not hit hard enough
said the fox.
The goat went three steps backward,
and ran at the heap with all her might.
But, crack her horns broke -
When the fox saw that he begun to
skip about. "Oh, my dear friend, u
said he, "the carrots belong to me
now!"
"Not yet," said the goat, "you have
not succeeded in your task yet. If you
touch the carrots, I will tear your side
with the stumps of my horns"
TIE fox looked ut the goat, and said
to himself "She has one left still,
which is almost whole; she will tear my
sides with it."
"Well," said he, "I will knock down
my heap, then; it is nothing for me"
The fox begun to dig with his fore
paws until he had made great hole IL
the ground close to the heap. The
stones soon fell over into the hole, but
alas they fell on the fox and broke his
left paw.
Then the two looked at cne another
the one with her broken horns, the
other with his broken paw.
Run after the carrots" said the
goat, with sneer, 81 will give then
up to you"
"I cannot" answered the fox, my
paw hurts me too much. Take then
yourself" ),
"That is Just what I am going tt
do" said the goat, and she ran for the
sack; but neither bag nor carrots were
to be seen; ; while they were disputing
a man had come along and carried al
away. >.

Strangers often remark, says the Free
Press, that Detroit ladies seem to have a
great fondnessfor carrying gold watches,
and any person walking ten blocks on

down to the watch pocket. But, is the

ing out his watch he looked at it, shook
it, sighed heavily and said:
"Ought to have been cleaned week
ago. Will you please give me the
time.2"
The lady addressed had on a magnifi-
cent chain, but she blushed, half rose,
sat down again, and whispered:
"My-my watch ISIS out OF order. "
"You have the time, perhaps J" he
asked of the next.

though she we'll knew that her chain
was pinned to her dress.
"And what does your watch say3"
he smilingly asked OF the fourth.
"It's little slow, L think" she an
swered, drawing her shawl closer.
The fifth lady had watch, and fine
one, too. She drew it out, made as
much display as possible, and called
out:
"Ten minutes after eleven !"

a Maiden'S Love.

Human nature has no essence more
pure, the world knows nothing more
chaste, heaven has endowed the hui
man heart with no feeling more holy
than the nascent affection of a young
virgins soul. The warmest language
of sunny South is too cold to shadow
forth even faint outline of that en-
thusiastic sentiment. And PrOvi>
dence has made the richest language
poor in the same respect, because the
depths of hearts that thrill with loves
emotion are too sacred for common
contemplation. Yes, the light of a
young maiden's first love breaks dim>
ly, but beautiful upon her as the sill,
yer lustre ola star glimmering through
the thickly-woven bower, and the first
blush thVt mantles her check as she
feels thy primeval influence, is faint
and pure as that which rose leaf
might cast upon marble. But how
rapidly does the light grow stronger,
and the flush deeper-until the power,
full etfulgence of this one irradiates
every corner of her heart, and the
crimson glow OF the other suffuses
every feature of the cOuntenance.

The Disguised E7eiresS.

Miss Vernon sat at her window
plunged in deep thought She was
an heireSs, prepossessing in appear
ance, and, as natural, had suitors in
plenty. Among them she made choice
of William Winsor, and in a few weeks
they were to be married.
William was engaged in the whole
sale clothing business, and had the
reputation of sharp, active man of
business. Nothing had come to the
ear of Miss Vernon until the day be-
fore. A poor woman had come to the
door in evident poverty, and asked for
relief On being questioned, she said
she had been employed in making
shirts at twelve cents piece for whole
sale dealers; that after making dozen
and carrying them to the store, she had
been roughly told that they had been
spoiled, and that nothing would be
paid for her work, but that she might
have some more if she would agree to
do them better. She added that this
was one of the small ways in which the
firm made money out Of poor women,
by pretending that work was unsatis-
factorily done, when really no fault
could be reasonably found with it.
"Only dollar and forty cents for a
weeks work." exclaimed Miss Vernon
in dismay.
"Thats all" said the poor woman.
