they do 80 with reluctance2
Why do ladies bid their servants say
that they are not at home, when they
mean they are engaged or unwilling to

Why do actors grumble that the drama
is going to the dogs, when they mean
that they themselves are not i'll favor

Why do men tell their wives that they

Why do women bid their husbands
escort them to Broadway, when they
really mean to make them pay for a new

Why do singers speak with diffidence

Why do inviters often call their coun-

Why do china dealers name so pre-

Sending Portraits by Telegraph.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Standard writes cit has often
been said that the science of telegraphy
is as yet only In its infancy. What it
will do when it reaches the age of ma
turity it would be difficult to say GER
tainly, but some idea may be formed
from an extraordinary telegraphic dis.
covery just made in Paris. 1t appears
that some inventor has found out the
means of sending portraits by telegraph.
The modus operandi has not yet been
disclosed, but experiments have been
made, and-if we are to believe the
papers-with complete success. The
trial was made by the police authorities
of Paris and Lyons. The portrait of q
Lyons official was forwarded from Paris
by the new telegraphic apparatus, and
at once recognized. In return the
Lyons police telegraphed to Paris the
portrait, accompanied with the usual de-
scription, of clerk who had Just alb
seconded with his masters money, and
the Paris police, thanks to the tele-
graphic portrait, were enabled to arrest
the thief on his alighting from the train
at the Lyons railway station. These
facts are published on the best author
ity, and, incredible as they may seem,
are no doubt authentic. So far, the in
genious discovery is only being en-
ployed for the detection of criminals,
bat it is evident that the police author
tiles will not be able to monopolize it,
and that il will be turned to account by
society at large under the various trying
circumstances of life, and more es-
pecially in the cases of deserted wives
and husbands, missing heirs, disconso-
late lovers, and similar interesting
beings"

Immediate Cause of vanderbilt,s Death.

By post-mortem examination of the
body of Commodore Vanderbilt, it was
found that the immediate cause of death
had been liberation, resulting in per-
foration of the colon, or large intestine.
Tho perforation, the doctors concluded,
could not have existed more than day
or tive before his death, but the ulcera-
ton which caused it might have been
going on for three weeks. Besides
this, there was chronic Inflammation os
the bladder, which gave rise to the in
tense pains that the Commodore endured
at intervals, and prolapsus ami. Both
lungs, the heart, the kidneys, and liver
were found to be more or less affected by
disease or unhealthy action, but not suf-
ficiently 80 to cause his death. The
perforation of the intestine which caused
the death of the Commodore seems to
have been a somewhat unexpected de-
velopment of his disease.

The Alabama Indemnity.

The London Times contains a long
article upon the settlement of the Ala
bama claims, with which upon the whole
it processes to be satisfied. 1t will be
remembered that the arbitrators origin
ally awarded the United States S15, 500, :
900, as q settlement of these claims, and
that the commissioners to make the
awards have distributed about $40, ,000,-
600, leaving a surplus of $5, 500, 900,
upon which there is no individual claim
that is allowable. At first it would ap-
pear that there is a discrepancy, and
that Great Britain had paid $500, 900
more than is necessary to satisfy the
claims. The Times, however, points
ont to its readers the very natural dis
tinction that, while the arbitrators con-
sidered the responsibility of Great
Britain with reference to all the cruisers
which had committed depredations and
the direct destruction of property occa-
stoned by them, the commissioners have
had to decide how far individuals were
damaged, and to admit claims only 80
far as they could be substantiated. After
the lapse of years, it has been difficult
sometimes TO trace the various persons
interested in the ownership of vessels.
Where the vessel was fully insured, the
owners received their compensation and
the underwriters also received theirs, as
they insured at war risks-in fact, ia
sured themselves for high premiums
against the very losses which occurred.
Thus, although the commissioners may
not succeed in distributing the whole of
the award, it was just for the arbitrators
to award the amount they did, since in a
certain manner the whole people of the
United States were losers. Chicago

Paucity Of Silver Chang e.

From every part Of the country, and
especially the South, scarcity of silver
change is reported. In some OF the
Eastern cities the premium on change is
l per cent, and even that is insufficient
to attract an adequate supply. A con-
temporary says "there is some reason
to believe that the people OF the South
ern States are responsible to some ex-
tent for the prevailing scarcity. A
Southern paper states that silver is last
disappearing from htion In that
part of the country. Banks in the
Southern cities have paid it out literally,
but still il does not appear In general

THE question agitating fashionable

The Russians have over 5000 torpe-

dangerous place as the committee-room

AND now they say that Russia is afraid

with the Grand Duke when he was In
this country don't believe word of it.

The moss-covered shinge that hung on the wall.

"How GAN a woman make home more

no general answer, but in some cases
the thing can be done by inviting the

such cases of paralysis never occur, and

of indulging in a profound thought now
and then. It comments thus: About
this time farmers are sitting in the even

between their eating and drinking they
look solemnly upward and exclaim :.

came on. They left fourteen OF the emigrants,
including the writer Of the above Journal and
his family. Lieut.. Woodwork was immediate
ly sent to the assistance OF the others, but be-
fore he reached them they had eaten three Of
their number, who had died from hunger
and fatigue. Woodwork brought in the
remainder. The rest Of the unfortunate party
reached Suffers Fort in April 1847.
The emigrants thus caught in the mountains
died, one by one, until about forty Of lheir
number were literally starved to death, among
them being the two Donner brothers and
their wives, together with seven Of their
children. The camp where the Donners died
is marked by small body of water among the
mountains, now known as Lake Donner, in the
western part of the State Of Nevada.
