A Russian Story.

The Russian princes in Paris are all men of large incomes, but tgenerallyspend- thrifts. One of them borrowed the sum of ten thousand francs from money lender, giving his note for the same. On the day 1t fell due the holder presented 1t for payment, and was told by the prince that he had no money to waste in paying debts. At that moment gen tlenan entered, and the prince handed him twenty thousand francs to meet the losses of the night before at the club.
 The lender tore up his note of hand, and said, when going out: ." Now, prince, there is nothing between us but debt of honor." The prince bowed and hand ed over the money without word. The second begins in the same way, but when the lender presented his note the prince flew in passion, called him hard names, and, drawing a revolver, made him eat the note of hand. A few days later the lender received his money, with thou sand franc bill thrown in as interest.
 Shortly afterward the lender received letter from the prince, telling him that he was again in want of money, and telling him to present himself with 1O,- 900 francs and stamped paper upon which to write his internal notes of hand. The lender came with the money.
 "Where is your paper for the note ?" he said, taking the money. Here it is,
 prince" said the lender, drawing a large cake of gingerbread from his pocket.
 The prince laughed at the joke and short ly afterward paid the debt with interest.

Swallowing a Cent.

A physician, while on railroad train, was consulted by one of the employees on the train in relation to his little boy, who had that morning swallowed cent. " What have you done for him ?" asked the doctor. "We gave him dose of castor oil," was the reply. "Good practice so far; as soon as you reach home, give him the whites of three raw eggs daily; let his diet be bread and milk and nothing sour." The directions were followed faithfully, the whites of the eggs repeated every day, and the dose of oil at night, and on the fourth day the cent was discharged. It was one of the new copper coins, and consider ably corroded by the action of the gas trlc juices. Since fatal results often fol low the swallowing of copper coin, the Judlclous treatment advised in this in- stance should be remembered by all who have the care of children. The es- sential points to be borne in mind are simply these Albumen or the whites of eggs, bland diet, free from acids, and castor oil

Winter Fashion Notes.

A great many buttons appear on all the new suits.
 Fancy feathers are worn more than ostrich tips and plumes.
 Coquettish little bows of ribbon and lace are worn in the hair. Buckles of gold, silver, jet and steel are used in trimming hats again.
 One of the newest fabrics is of camel's hair, interwoven with feather down.
 Smyrna lace is the fashionable trim ming of the moment for underclothing
 Sky blue and myrtle green is fash ionable combination for evening dresses
 Marine and ink blue, myrtle green, and seal brown are popular colors for kid gloves.
 An exquisite new shade of blue for fancy silk stockings is called moonlight on the air.
 Hamburg embroideries are cheaper and more used than ever for trimming underclothing.
 Cardinal red kid gloves are seen on some of the glove counters, and the salesmen say few ladies call for them. They are stitched with white or black on the back of the hand in three triple rows.
 Some of the latest importations of Paris suits are simply long gprincesse, polonaises, looped very low down in the back, and have one deep founce put on at the bot tom in such manner as to simulate an underskirt.
 Some of the handsomest imported French suits have the underskirt of cam brio of the color of the polonaise, with deep founces of wool serge or silk set on at the bottom. In these suits there is al- ways 8 finish of velveteen, silk, or serge put around the bottom, under the lower most founce. Holbein green is new shade of this popular color.
 The most fashionable coiffure at the moment is a catagan loop or waterfall of waved hair, falling on the neck and in- closed in large meshed silk braid net, which covers all the back of the head with puffs and is fastened on the top with bow of ribbon. Another bow of ribbon is placed in the nape of the neck, just above the catagan loop. The net is of cardinal red, or blue, green, or brown silk braid, and is called the "Lucca or the Massaniello." The front hair is crimped, waved, or banged in this style of cOiff1re

 One day, when Louisiana went for Hayes, father promised me new parlor carpet. Ii the question isn't settled soon I think I can easily get the house refurnished, and perhaps have new China set and a silver dessert service. I am so sorry the Centennial is closed, for I know I could just as well spend an- other fortnight in Philadelphia, and I do believe I could have that lovely pink coral set wanted so badly.
 I don't understand politics, but am so glad live under a republican form of government, and I do feel sure, if any one makes good resolutions, and tries to be economical, and really means to be good wife and daughter, a way will open out of difficulties.

Right of Passenger to a Seat.

In the case of Barnet Le Van against the Pennsylvania railroad company, in court of common pleas at Philadelphia, the facts are given as follows: The plaintiff in November, 1868, purchased at Harrisburgh a ticket from the dc fendants for passage to Philadelphia, the train on which he was to take passage being known as the Cincinnati express. When the train reached the station at Harrisburgh it consisted of but two pas senger cars, an ordinary car and smoll- ing car. The plaintiff asserts that he was constitutionally unable to ride in the smoking car, and the other car was full. The plaintiff was afflicted with a disease which made standing for any length of time positively injurious to him, and, as some other cars were added to the train at this place, he asked per mission of the brakesman, and was di- rected by him to enter one of them, a sleeping car, where he found seat. When the conductor took up his ticket he demanded $1.50 extra for the privi- lege of riding in the car, which plaintiff refused to pay, alleging that, his ticket entitled him to seat, and that there were no seats elsewhere on the train. The conductor afterward put plaintiff off the train about eight miles from Lancas- ter. He walked in to Lancaster, and, in the long walk, his disease, as he alleges, was aggravated to such an extent that he has never entirely recovered from the effects of it. Le Vans suit for damages has been pending eight years. On the trial the company's version of the affair was that the conductor allowed the plain tiff to remain in the sleeping car until there were seats vacant in other parts of the train; that shortly after the train left Middletown the conductor requested him to take one of these seats and he refused, whereupon the train was stopped and he was elected. There was no force, the defendants claimed, used on the plaintiff except the mere laying on of hands, so that he should not seem to assent to his being put off the train. It was the duty of the plaintiff, his honor said, to accept the seat offered in the ordinary car, if such had been actually offered him, and that the conflicting versions of the affair must be reconciled by the jury. The jury, after deiberation of over two hours, returned verdict of $8;500 dam ages

X Madman's Suicide.

A Frencl newspaper gives an account of a strange incident which occurred in It's locality. A gentleman dressed in fashionable tsl style went to a leading estab- hshment of the place and asked for hot bath. Before undressing, he sent the waiter for number of articles, of whic.. he gave list, written on a piece of pa- per, Among other things he ordered @ bottle of white wine, some whisky, red pepper, carrots, trrnips, tomatoes and onions.
 After pouring the liquor into the bath he cut the vegetables into small pieces, sprinkled the pepper over them, and then turned on the tap of boiling water. When the bath was filled he undressed, and crying out Goodbye; am go- ing to cook myself in the American fash ion," plunged in. Suspecting some strange conduct, the attendants burst open the door, and found the man al- most boiled to death. An investigation proved that he had gone suddenly mad.

CANAAN CONN.,, FRIDAY, JANUARY l9, 1877.

out at $5 per head. This is from twenty
 five to thirty cents per hundred pounds gross. From the year 1865, when what is known as the annual Texas cattle "driyes" began, until 1875 the busi- ness has been a series of ups and downs, more particularly the latter. Take, for instance, the experience of 1866, when the Southwest was undergoing the pinch of hard times. Everybody was anxious to sell. Money was scarce. Some who could count their long horns by the tens of thousands could hardly raise cash for their ordinary wants. In fact, mans poverty was almost according to the size of his herd. The "drive" of 1866 into western Kansas numbered 26O, 1000 head. The drover went forward with visions of better times and big pay for his beef, but difficulties. Bands of outlaws infested the "trail," and if they could not by some means make away with the drover and steal the whole herd, would at night time stampede the cattle in every direc- tion, and seize the opportunity to gather up and hurry off what they could. His losses were fearful, and many of the rising cattle kings were 'snuffed out. LII AeNOOA JCNI0 oAAC ACAcIo uAOFCA ucS OCOA put to great annoyance and loss by the laws of the Kansas Legislature establish ing "dead ines," and compelling ship
 nents each year to be made at points much further west, lengthening the drives and turning them into sections where food is short and dear.
 During the past eight years about B. 00O,0 Texas beeves were put upon the market. In 1874 45O,OOO head were handled, the cost value of which at the shipping points in Kansas was only $5,- 0OO,O ,OOO; and when finally sold to butch CTS and packers, $12, 100000. This was poor year for the business. The grass hopper plague depressed everything. There was no feed, and so the drovers hurried to market, the supply being so great and the quality so poor that prices were down, down.
 The cattle men of the plains suffer none of those drawbacks. Stock is easily raised, multipGes fast and is of better quality and generally in better condition for market than the Texas; the drovers are old hands at the trade, give good deal of attention to improving the breeds and are carrying on their business in @ methodical, business-ike way, and have good markets at their command, all of which seems to point to the "Great American. Desert" as the Texas of the future. York World.
