Dying Prom The Disgrace Of n.

DHtbO FROM me Disgc"ce oJ ~
About year ago, Miss Minnie
Shaw, of Brooklyn, met very agree
able young man at the Fleet street
Methodist Episcopal Church in that
city, and no very long time elapsed
before the two were engaged. The
young man was but little known at
the time, and Represented himself as
having arrived a short time before
from the West, where his father was
reputed to be minister in good stand
ing. But last month the young maa
was arraigned as "Manker, the coun-
terfeiter." She would not believe in
his guilt, aud felt sure she could con-
vince the Judge Of his entire inno-
cence. She visited Mpnker in the Jail
and protested her entire faith in him.
These visits, together with anxiety
and naturally weak constitution,
have now prostraied her, and she is
said to be dying from hemorhage of
the lungs. After Markers plea Of
guilty. she maintained that he was
the victim Of Il conspiracy, and had
wrongfally accused himself Judge
Benedict yesterday sentenced Marker
to the Penitentiary for Is m onths. -

How Evarts Outwitted Hayes
From the Inter Ocean.

Evarts is getting sharp. The other
night at the reception i'll Claremont the
President was evidently about to &c
through the task, which he seems partlc-
ularly to enjoy, of introducing to the
crowd his Cabinet one by one and bid
ding them "Speak up, now, for the gen.
tlemen," when Evarts blocked the game.
The President had introduced the latter,
by saying: "rhis is the man who writes
all the big words you read in the foreign
dispatches; he brings them all to me, and
[ sign them" OF course the good peo-
pie applauded when they were told this,
and the President was anticipating big
cheer when he brought out Key; but
Evarts, with cunning and cruel malice
that cannot be too strongly condemned,
took the reins out of his masters hands,
and when he got through introduced the
Postmaster General to the crowd himself
We don't know how the President took
this, but we should say Evarts ought to
be riveu his walking papers.

HOW THE AMERICAN ABORIGINEs
DISPOSED OF THEIR DEAD

The modes of disposing of the bodies
of the dead in use among the aborglnes
of Am erica are classed by Mr.. Edwin A
Barber, in the "Naturalist," under four
heads: inhumation, cremation, embaIm-
ment, and aerial sepulture. OF these
the first was most usually employed, the
bodies being inferred either in ordi narv
graves, in mounds or in caves. Several
tribes, among them the Lenni-LenaDe,
or Delawares, were accustomed to incase
thei, dead in stone boxes or tombs. In
tumnlus-burlal, the dead were generally
laid near The original Level of the sur

and the ashes deposited in shallow
tombs. Several tribes on the Gila ri yer,
in Southern Arizona, burned the bones
OF the dead in urns. But few cases of
Cmbalming are known to have occurred
in the limits of the United States. As

THE LARGEST Music Box IN THE
WoRLD.-An eminent Swiss mechan-
ician has just finished, for the khedive
of Egypt, certainly the largest and
finest, and probably the handsomest
musical box ever made. Its beautiful
ebony case is bufet-shaped, as large as
a full-sized signboard, and inlaid with
zinc and brasswork, and ornamented
with bronze chasings and plates. The
interior of this remarkable box is a
perfect marvel Of mechanical ingenui-
ty; it includes all the latest improve
ments for selecting tunes, patentmod-
orator, etc., and is furnished with flute,
Autebasso, drum bells and castanets. The
repertoire consists of one hundred and
thirtv-two tunes supplied by eleven
cylinders-which can be changed at
pleasure-each of them six inches in
diameter and twenty-six inches long.
Notwithstanding its brogdignarian di-
mensions, this instrument like others
of its kind, performs automatically,
when the khedive desires to treat him
self to a concert he needs only to touch
a spring, and if his highness should
grow weary of the mOnotony of one
hundred and thirty-two tunes he has
but to communicate with the maker.
who can speedily supply him with the
materials fora ewadditional hundreds.
To complete our description, we ought
to mention that the box is the result of
eighteen months assiduous labor, and
that the price to be paid for it is about
$4,000.

The GREAT WALL OF CHINA
Kalgan commands one of the passes
through the great wall Of China. It
is there built of large stone, cemented
together with mortar. It tapers to-
ward the top, being twenty-one feet
high and twenty-eight feet wide at the
foundation. At the most important
points, less than mile apart, square
towers are erected, built of bricks. It
winds over the crest Of the mountains,
crossing the valleys at right angles,
blocking them with Notifications. The
Chinese estimate its length to be about
three thousand three hundred miles,
but in parts more remote from Pekin
the wall is Of inferior construction
There is nothing but a dilapidated mud
rampant, as Colonel Prejevalsky saw
it on the borders of ALASKAN and
Kansu. # is said to have been built
upward of two centuries before Christ,
to protect the empire against the in
roads of the neighboring nomads; but
the periodical irruptions of the bar
barians were never checked by this
artificial barrier.

Never Forget Anything.

A successful business man told me
there were two things which he learn
ed when he was eighteen, which were
ever afterwards Of great use to him,
namely, never to lose anything, and
never to forget anything" An old
lawyer sent him with an important
paper, with certain instructions what
to do with it.
"But," inquired the young man,
suppose 1 lose it; what shall 1 do
thenY"
The answer was with the utmost
emphasis, you must not lose itl"
q don't mean to, said the young
man, "but suppose I should happen
to?"
"But I say you must not happen to !;
I shall make no provision for any such
occurrence; you must not lose itP'
This put new train Of thought in
to the young mans mind, and he found
that if he was determined to do a thing
he could do it. He made such a pro-
vision against every contingency that
he never lost anything. He found
this equally true about forgetting. If
certain matter Of importance was to
be remembered, he pinned it down on
his mind, fastened it there and made
it stay. He used to say. "When
man tells me that he forgot to do some
thing, l tell him he might as well have
said, i did not careenough about your
business to take the trouble to think of
it again. / once had an intelligent
young man in my employment, who
deemed it a sufficient excuse for neg
lecting an important task to say, 4
forgot it. told him that would not
answer. If he was sufficiently inter
ested, he would be careful to remem-
Der. 1t not was because he did not
care enough that he forgot l drilled
him with this truth. He worked for
me three years, and during the last of
the three he was utterly changed in
this respect. He did not forget any
thing. His forgetting, he found, was
a lazy and careless habit Of the mind,
which he eured.-X. Y. q IN Country

A BRAVE CAPTAIN.-A good story
Of Prince Paskievitch During the
war of Warsaw he had ordered GER
tain Polish battery to be silenced by
his own artillery, and became perfectly
wild with rage on observing that the
artillery fire produced no appreciable
effect. Galloping to the battery he
asked @Whatidiot is in charge hereY
q, sir, answered the officer. eThen
down you go to the ranks this hour"
said Paskievitch, syou don't begin to
know your trade; your shells do not
explode" 4 know they don't" an
swered the captain ''for the best Of
all reasons that they can't explode" "
"That's lie" said the prince. as
it? See for yourself, then" replied
the officer, cOolly picking up a shell
from the pile and lighting the fuse,
and holding it up between himself and
the marshal. The marshal TRANQUILITY
crossed his arms and watched till the
fuse sputtered and went out. '9There,
sir" said the artilleryman, triumphant
ly, as he threw the shell on the ground.
You were right, after all" growled
the marshal, and rode away to another
point Of the line, but at night the cap
tain received at his tent the cross Of
St. Vladimir for bravery in the field.

MORAL CHARAcTER.-There is moth
ing which adds SO much to the beauty
and power of man as good moral
character. It is his wealth-his infu-
ence-his life. It dignifes him in
every station. exalts him in every con-
dition, and glori6es him at every period
of life. Such character is more to
be desired that everything else on
earth. It makes man free and indie
pendent. No servile tool-croaking
sycophant-no treacherous honor-seek-
ing ever bore such a character. The
pure joys of truth and righteousness
never spring in such person. If
young men but knew how much good
character would dignity and exalt
them, how glorious it would make their
prospects, even in this life; never
should we find them yielding to the
grovelling and base-born purposes Of
human nature.

NapoIeon,s aIanners.

Macaulay, in comparing Napoleon
to Caesar, very rightly says Caesar was
greatly his superior on one point, he
was a perfect gentleman. Talleyrand
wittily expressed nearly the same thing
when he said, "What pity that such
great man should have been SO badly
brought up" If we may judge, not
from the reports Of his enemies, but
from the disclosures of his most faith
full and devoted servitors, Napoleon
treated those who were admitted into
his intimacy with a familiarity that no
man who had any self respect would
have tolerated for minute. Meneval,
his former secretary, represents him as
pulling the ears Of his interlocutors,
sometimes hard enough to make the
blood flow, giving them a slap on the
cheek, at times even sitting on their
knees. These acts Of graciousness were
marks of special kindness with him,
and men of the highest rank were
proud of such tokens of favor. Such
habits were calculated to produce stiff
ness in his manners with strangers. He
was too familiar when he wished to
please, and too stifly declamatory
when he wished to command respect.
AS to his body, the fatigues of war had
strengthened his iron constitution, and
given him a stoutness bordering on
embonpoint. Napoleon acknowledged
that he never was better than during
the Russian campaign, in which he
often rode thirty leagues a day over
the snow. The agitations of war may
be. said to have become needful to his
temperament, a NECESSITY for his health,
and in some sort the indispensable all
ment of that immense activity which
was the predominant characteristic Of
his nature. He literally lived on what
would have killed others. War gave
him both sleep and appetite. A great
deal Of the Corsican yet remained in
him.-LantTey's Life Of Napoleon.
