gence directs and controls the
changes of matter, so as to make
every change contribute fresh ad-
vantage to mankind-more food,
more clothing, better houses, more
spare time to refresh the body by
rest from labor and the soul by in
nocent amusement and by studies
which give it greater power to con-
troll the changes Of matter. This
power Of man to control the
changes Of matter-his ability to
labor and thus increase the ability
Of matter-is the one thing which
perishes if it is not Immediately
put to use. An hour that is wasted
is gone forever. 1t can never be
brought back. Therefore the most
important duty of every government
is TO secure the continual employ
ment of all its people, SO that no
man shall be idle who is able and

the features showed terror, and
every drop Of the blood was drained
from the vessels, and as further,
fnger-marks were found upon the
mouth, the prosecution rejected the
theory Of unintentional murder,
and claimed that Billoir had killed
the woman maliciously, probably
throttling her with one hand aud
disembowelling her with the other!
In this theory the jury concurred
after a very brief absence.
Billoir in prison drank brandy
largely and smoked incessantly.
His humor was sullen. On one
occasion, when the Judge said to
him, "Such a witness identified
YOU" he replied, "Good God! what
if he did! Now that the affair has
made a noise, every one wants to
figure in it,

In the Toxic (Japan) Times we
find the first of a series of papers
on "Political Economy, designed
chiefly for japanese readers" The
first chapter is so curious that we
copy the greater part of it:
'In this world, nothing is created
except human souls, and the souls
of other animals, if brutes have
souls Every particle of matter
already existing, which has only
been changed in shape and quality.
The flesh and bones of an infant
are made of its mothers milk. The
milk Of the mother is made from
the fish, rice and other vegetables
which she eats. When the infant
ceases to suckle his mother,
he makes his own flesh out
of fish, fruit, rice and other
vegetables. Such animals as men
feed upon, make themselves out of
grass and vegetables. The yegeta-
bleS make themselves out of the
air, the water, the soil and the
manure which is mixed with the
soil. The soil is made from the
rocks which crumble to pieces and
are washed down from the hill tops
tc the valleys at the bottom; also
from the decaying branches and
leaves Of the trees and other yege-
tables which grow upon the sand,
which is the rock in powder. Air,
water, rocks and earth can all be
decomposed into few gases and
few mineral bases such as iron, sui
phur and lime. Everything except
souls, comes out Of the earth, the
water and the air. Everything ex-
cept souls, returns to the earth, the
water and the air. There is no
increase of matter, no diminution
of matter. The only possible in
crease is in the souls, which live a
little time in human bodies but
never perish. AS the number of
souls living at any one time in IL
nation increases, its strength and

The Cheyenne the Portal 60 she
Slack HilIB.

The Cheyenne the Portal to she
Slack HilIs.
Cheyenne has become the great
rallying point for the bulk of the
Black Hills travel, and the town
flourlshes with luxuriance only
equaled by the mushroom cities
that sprang up SO magically or the
border in the palmy days of rail
roading. A rowing correspondent
writing from there recently, says:
To say that the Black Hills pill
grims swarm in Cheyenne is to ex.
press it feebly. The streets were
full of them at 10 am, and at noon
more of them sprang up apparently
out of the ground, like grasshop-
pers. Two hours later the West
bound emigrant train came in, and
nearly hundred more of them
disembarked and distributed them
selves wherever there was room for
them. The saloons are nearly all
full by this time, and the variety
theaters were not open, conse-
quently there seemed to bo no
place for them anywhere. A band
of Maine men, fresh from farms
and logging-camps, stopped at the
Inter r-Ocean, and as the house was
already full, it taxed Gould's inge-
nuity to dispose of forty more.
But infinite are the resources of
hotel men, and their cots are never
all spread in Cheyenne. Cheyenne
by lamplight is quite a different
scene from the same city under the
broad glare of day. AS the lights
flare out the crowds seem to swell
and fill the public resorts as if by
magic. This place that looked so
quiet during the day is John Ohase's
celebrated saloon and gambling
house. Half a dozen places are
going, and all crowded with play
ers, especially the one presided over
by a lady, French woman, bright,
vlvacous, coquettish shapely
head rising from fair, round
shoulders; every motion as
quick and light and graceful as a
dainty bird, and yet marked by y
certain feline swiftness as She
reaches her white hands across the
board to "rake down" some unlucky
victims pile when it has fallen
forfeit to her skill, for she is said to
be the most successful dealer of
vingtun in the country. But that
smile which haunts her fair face
continually is a study for physiog-
nomists. What does it mean? One
might almost swear it means every
thing, or nothing. There it is before
you always, as constant as truth
itself in its countenance, yet per-
haps no two men of the thousands
it has lured to that table have read
1t alike, and not one of them right
ly, But it is a good card, though,
and she plays it as deity as She
does the rest Of the deck.

Victor Hugo as a Father.In.Law.
Now York nribunn

n
New York Tribune.l
Madame Charles Hugo has Just
been married to Monsieur Edouard
Lockroy, who is a writer and "a rich
man, and who, in settling the prop
erty, is said to have behaved very
handsomely. When the settlement
was signed, M. Victor Hugo ad-
dressed the contracting parties. He
took his grandchildren as he spoke
and handed them over to the
guardianship of NJ. Lockroy, whose
kindness Of heart and amiablc
qualities were, he said, ii possible,
superior to his brilliant wit and
literary talents. Though engaged
in a sharp pOlemical warfare for
upward of nine years, though a
humorist and a voltigeur Of Jour-
nalism, he believed that NJ. Lockroy
had not so much as an enemy. The
poet went on to say that it consoled
him, as the close of his life drew
on, to place all that providence had
left him of a family in the hands Of
such a man. When the bridal
party reached the mayoralty, where
the civil ceremony was performed,
an immense crowd of distinguished
people were found waiting. NJ.
Hugo was repeatedly cheered in
Partisan manner as his carriage
slowly advanced, and when he
alighted the two children, hand in
hand, led the van. They are used
to public life, which may account
for their wonderful self-possession.
The bride looked pretty and beam
ing. She wore costume of pearl
gray satin, very elegantly made,
with olive-green satin trimmings
and light gray hat and feathers.

How DIsraeII Got Ahead OF the

now Disraeli Got Ahead Of the
Dukes.
Philadelphia Press.l
The salary of the first lord of
the treasury, who is always the
prime minister of England, is ex-
actly $4,000 per annum, which is
precisely the pay of the minister of
France, secretary Of state for the
home, colonial, foreign, war and
Indian departments. Last August,
when the Office of lord priyy seal
became vacant by the resignation
of Lord Malmesbury, Mr.. Disraeli
appointed himself thereto. If he
had been so minded he might have
taken the salary, which is $4,000 a
year, as we'll as the Office, but Mr..
Disraeli has never been avaricious,
and has not accepted one sixpence
of that amount. That is, he might
have $1,000 and he takes but $4,000
a year. lie is far from being a
wealthy man, though he has the
pecuniary independence of living
without extravaganza on one hand
and debt on the other. He became
lord privy seal at the time when he
accepted an earldom, and indeed
the office cannot be held by a COM
moner. The duties of this office
are almost nominal, realizing the
old description Of "nothing to do
and well paid for doing it." 1t
was asked, when Disraeli took the
Office, refusing the salary, what was
his object? and the answer was that
the prime minister, as such. ranked
so very low in the regulated table
Of precedence that, as in the case
of such untitled persons as Mr..
Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli, he
ranked only as a priyy councillor.
On the other hand, the lord privy,
who is the fifth great officer Of the
state, takes place next after presi-
dent of the council and before all
dukes.

A Prac,lcnI sompambnlist.

A young man who lives on farm
near Bockara, Australia, lately went
to sleep on a sofa after a hard days
work, and had been lying there
some time when ne got up and went
outside. His companions observed
that he walked with a staggering
gait, but little notice was taken of
the matter, as they expected him to
reiOin them Immediately. The
somnambulist, for such he was,
passed through three or four gates,
untYing and tying the fastenings,
which are made of rope, and made
his way to the woodshed. There
he hung his coat upon a nail, took
down a pair Of shears he mad been
using in the daytime, aud proceed
ed to sharpen them. He next
caught a sheep, and had just fin
ished shearing it when he was
wakened by the sudden arrival Of
his friends, who had come with a
lantern to search for him. The
shock of awakening caused him to
tremble like a leaf, but he soon re-
gained his equanimity. The sheep
was shorn as well as if the work
had been performed in broad day
light, and the night was by no
means clear one.

Birds ana steam Ensiues.

A London newspaper Of a recent
date says: "In a German engineer
ing journal a writer discusses the
behavior Of different animals and
birds toward steam engines and
steam works generally. He notices
the boldnesS and, at the same time,
dexterity which dogs will run about
amid the wheels of a departing
railway train without suffering the
least injury, while hosts Of workmen
continually lose their lives. On the
other hand, the OK, 'proverbiaIly a
stupid ANIMAL continues standing
composedly on the rails, having no
idea of the danger which threatens
him, and is run over. But birds,
strange to say, have peculiar de-
light in the steam engine. 1t has
often happened that larks have
built their nests and reared their
young under the switches of a
much travelled railway, while in en-

instance of almost incredible trust

steamer, and regularly made the
