VictOrien SardOu,

Victorien Sardou has just been elected
q member of the French Academy, over
noble duke, whose only known literary
work, according to Alexandra Dumas,
was the letter Incorrectly spelled) which
he addressed to the academy. 1t was q
little too bad, however, that he should
have been the one to inform Nine. Sardou
of her husbands election. Hurrying out,
when the final results was made known,
he met Nine. Sardou, who had just en-
tered, anxious to hear Of the result. Not
knowing who it was, she addressed the
first person she met, and had the pleasure
of hearing of her hnsbaAd's success from
his rival and bitterest foe. This Nine.
Sardou is not the first wife to whom he
owes everything that he is. When a
young man, he was so poor as to be at
deaths door from disease and starvation.
A young girl living in the same house,
hearing of his condition, went to see
him, took him medicines and restoratives
and nursed him through terrible at
tack of fever, which brought him to the
verge Of the grave. Three years after
ward, when he had recovered health and
obtained some employment at one of the
theatres, through his friends intimacy
with Dejazet, the celebrated actress, they
were married, and this accident of &C
quaintance with Dejazet turned his at
tention to dramatic composition, and
made him what he is to day-the most
successful dramatist of his time, with a
hotel in town, magnificent house in
the country, while to these things is now
added the browning honor of member
ship Of the French Academy. The first
wife did not live to see this last bay leaf
added to his wreath, but she lived until
he acquired wealth and honors, and died
after ten years of happy welded life

The WONDERS OF THE TELEGRAPH.-
The Troy Northern Budget is the respon-
sible narrator of this anecdote: "On
Friday German, somewhat intoxicated,
boarded the Hudson River train at Kin
derhook for the purpose of coming to
this city. He threw his satchel down in
a corner of the Car, took seat, and was
soon in the arms of Morpheus. On
awaking he alleged that he left his bag
gage at Undertook, and asked the boy
employed on the train what he should do
to recover it. The latter, who had seen
the German place his satchel in the cor
ner, replied, You give me thirty cents
and III telegraph to Undertook to have
the depot master forward it by telegraph
to Greenbush. 1t will reach there before
we do The German paid the thirty
cents, gave a minute description of the
missing property, and the boy departed,
taking the satchel into another car. On
reaching Greenbush the boy returned with
the bag, and placing it in the Germans
hands, said, There's the first satchel l
ever see come by telegraph 'Ah,' re-
piled the German, dot delegratf is vun
CRATE dings; here dake anoder quorter,
mein poy.' And he did,"

The Galleys.

It was by revival or classical strategy
that England was, in the seventeenth
century, put into EXTREMIST peril. Louis,
the Magni6cents galleys in Torbay, were
a more real danger than the feet with
which De Ruyter had burned our ships
in the Midway. For, however great the
alarm caused in London by the sullen
roar of the Dutch guns, the Hollanders
had not single regiment to disembark,
whereas the French King had sent to the
Devon coast formidable force of white
coated grenadiers, to cooperate with the
expected Jacobite rising. The galleys
were an especially French, as they had
been an especially Roman, institution.
The force had been patronized by several
Kings, nor was it until the reign of
Louis XIII. that the General of the gal
legs was made subordinate to the Ad-
miral of France. For harassing an en-
emy's coast, and for the transport of
troops, this fair-weather flotilla was un-
surpassed. But galley of Louis XIV.'s
time, rowed by wretches chained to the
oar, the vilest felons mingled with runa-
way Protestants, whose sole crime was
their attempt to escape to Holland or
England, was the nearest approach to a
floating pandemonium ever devised. To
every ten convicts was allotted Turkish
or Moorish prisoner of war, whose knot
ted cord fell on the bare shoulders of
all who finched, while boatswain and
officers patrolled the narrow space be-
tween the benches, and piled rattan
and lash unsparingly. 1t was by sheer tear
of physical suffering that the chained
rowers were urged to keep the great oars
rising and falling with such mechanical
regularity. The galley-slaves were not
expected to fight; there were soldiers on
board to do that. But they were expect
ed to row, and no plea of illness or ex-
haustion was admitted. So far from the
sick or weary being sent to an infrmary,
they were deliberately beaten to death
Painting, bleeding, the miserable wretch
es were to the last regarded as so much
mechanism, to be stimulated by cuts OF
the whip, and when they died their
bodies were unclaimed from bench and
oar, and tossed into the sea.-AW the

MEYER DEsPAIR.-Peope are apt to
think that the hard times which they ex-
perience are the hardest times that ever
were and so they are for them. But one
only needs to read the history of the
world to learn that hard times have been
perpetuully coming to all nations in all
periods Of their existence. And so have
good times, and so have good chances for
honest people to better their condition.
There never yet was q night that Was not
followed by day, nor storm that was
not followed BY . calm. The sun is forever
steadily shining in the heavens, and the
clouds which sometimes obscure his rays
are sure to break away and disperse no
matter how dark and threatening they
may be for . time. The brave-hearted
that hope on and work on need never de-
spair.

Texas Wool Growing.

The wool interest in Texas is gradually
assuming large proportions, and bids fair,
ere the close Of another decade, to rank 10
importance with the cattle trade. There
are now hundreds of sheep pastures in
various portions of the State, paying
sheep breeders handsomely on their small
investments. Among the large breeders
may be mentioned Mr.. George Reynolds,
of Nueces county, who owns 10000 acres,
the greater part of which affords excel
lent pasturage for his sheep, which at
present number some 10000 head, all
improved and graded from the COM
mon native stock. Mr.. Reynolds
emigrated with his family from
England in 1855, and about the year
1860 settled in Nueces county, where he
rented tract of land, investing at the
time $1,000 in 1000 low-grade sheep.
Since the period above named he has de-
voted all his time and energies to raising
and improving sheep, both for mutton
and wool. He has now fine stone resi-
dence on his ranch, good substantial out
buildings, pasture fences and other i'm
provements. He has sold several thou
sand sheep from time to time, besides
numerous lots of high-grade ewes and
bucks for breeding purposes, at remuner-
alive figures. In February last he sold
to DIR. Jeffries, of Live Oak county, Tex
as, 600 head at IS per head cash, the
price obtained being good evidence of
their quality, as the ruling prices for
from low grade to good medium sheep
range from 81 to % each. A number Of
other sheep rsisers in Texas may be cited
who from very humble beginnings are
now enjoying a comfortable independ-
ence. The wool interest in Texas is now
only in its infancy, yet the total ship
ments for the present year will exceed
100000 bales.-ExcA0ngs.

A Slight Misunderstanding.

"Cut my hair" said the customer, as
he seated himself in BARRIERS chair,
land be sure you let it run down the back
of my neck" referring OF course to the
peculiar style of the cut.
The barber was a Western artist, having
lately arrived in Oil City from st. Louis.
After clipping away for some time he
concluded that perhaps the hair wasn't
running down the customers back as fast
as that individual might desire it-though
for the life of him he couldn't see why he
should want it to run down at all-and
when a quantity had accumulated inside
his shirt collar, the accommodating barber
showed it down and out of sight with the
handle of the brush.
This performance was repeated two OF
three times, and the customer began to
realize what was going on. HencefOr-
ward he took lively interest in the pro-
ceedings. He said
"What in the name of the bird with
the broad and sweeping wing are you
doing9"
at didn't seem to run down." said the
barber, alphabetically, "and 50 l rammed
it down with the brush"
The customer acted like man who
had just made the discovery that rat
had built her nest between his shoulder
blades, so he yelled
"Cram your crammed head to cramna-
tion" and then, turning double sum-
mersault out of his chair, he kicked at the
reflection of the barber in the looking
glass. The barber escaped.-Oa City

A PICTURE for the student of progress
is the English farmer dressing his farm
with bone dust taken from ancient Egyp-
tian sepulchres. The government needed
money, and it made no bones of opening
these historic graves to the specializing
grasp of an English firm. But they say
the material portions of old Egyptian
fathers and mothers and children
make capital phosphates. There is no
evidence that the Alexandrian philoso-
pliers contemplated resurrection Of
the dead in the form of corntield. unless
transmigration includes the vegetable
kingdom in its scheme. The ancient who
wakes up in an Anglican corn or potato
field, so to speak, undoubtedly has his
opinion of the hcme governments paying
its debts by selling bis precious remains
for manure.
