How Jim Shed His Hair.

Jim Wicker was comical-looking
fellow, with very young face, but by
reason of having no hair, he looked very
old from the eyebrows all the way round
to the back of his neck. He was very
sensitive about this defect, and was some.
what celebrated, from fight he had
with travelling agriculturist-who,
upon being asked by Jim what would
cause the hair to grow upon his shining
poll, was advised to cover the top Of his
head with guano, and plant it down in
crab grass. But Jim wouldn't quarrel
with Captain Wild, for that gentleman
was not only the host of the Fairy Queen,
but also had the key to all "the refresh
ments" in his possession; 30 without
hesitation he enlightened his auditory
after this fashion
You see the har always did grow
rather scarce bout the scalp, and | was
always rubbing one thing or another TO
fetch it out, for ! was sartin the roots

be seen above ground. I'd heard of

bottles but | believe it was nothing
but hogs lard and mutton taller, 80 /
thought / would have the genuine arti-
Gle, and got old Dan to 60 out and
kill something for my especial benefit.
Dan told me it was spring, and that the
bear was in bad health, and out of sea-
son but ] believed he was trying to quiz
me, and / wouldn't take no for an an
swer. A short hunt forced critter at
bay, and Dan, by a shot in the vitals,
saved the varmint; but the bear was in
bad condition, for he looked as seedy
as an old Canadian thistle, and he had
hardly enough lie in him to keep his
joints from squeakipg; but what he did
have got and used-and, gentlemen"
the company, an two days what little

dom been equaled for mingled boldness
and astateness. A diplomatic feat we
say, not diplomatic trick. There has
been no trickery about the Anglo-Turkish
Treaty. Our journalistic kites and
crows thought they smelt little carrion
in the fact that Lord Beaconsfeld had
communicated his plans to them before
putting them in execution. He had
been guilty of sharp practice" they
thought, in not telling the powers of his
proposed Treaty. 1t never occurred to
the said kites and crowns that the Premier
had communicated his intention to the
Powers, and that the Powers had not
found it necessary to rush TO the San
Francisco newspapers with it. Yet such
was actually the case. Now the carbon
birds are of opinion that France and
Italy will tear up England's Treaty,
which shows conclusively that they
don't know as much about the matter as
they would know if they knew more than
they do. The probability is that no
serious objection will be raised by either
of these Powers, but in any case Eng
land has declared that she will submit
her Treaty TO no ones judgment but
her own, and this is not San Stefano
declaration.

Hamilton's Last Days.

Mr.. John G. Hamilton, son Of Alex
ander Hamilton, gives to corresp0n-
dent of the Philadelphia Times this
pathetic incident of his father: My
fathers residence was in the country,
toward the north of New York Island.
His law Office in the city was rather
shabby affair. The day before the duel
/ was sitting in room, when, at
slight noise, turned around and saw
my father in the doorway, standing
silently there and looking at me with 9
most sweet and beautiful expression of
countenance. 1t was full Of tenderness,
and without any of the business pre-
occupation he sometimes had. John
he said, when had discovered him,
won't you come and sleep with me to-
nightT His voice was very frank, az II
he had been my brother instead of my
father. That night / went to his bed,
and in the morning very early he
awakened me, and taking my hands IN
his palms, all four hands extended, 10
said, and told me to repeat, the Lords
Prayer. Seventy-fve years have since
passed over my head, and / have for
gotten many things, but not that tender
ex pression when be stood looking 81 ne
in the door, nor the prayer we made ~
gether the morning before the duel

Berlin Correspondence London Times.
1t would be erroneous to believe that
the occupation of Turkish territory by
Austrian troops at the present juncture
is very generally approved in Germany.
Had the Austrians entered Turkey two
years ago for the purpose of quelling
rebellion and war, their action would
have been applauded. Present policy,
it is apprehended, will lead to the Haps-
burg Monarehy-already including more
Slavonians than it can we'll accommo-
date-being saddled with another tribe
or two, more warlike than civilized, and
more orthodox than loyal. But the more
Slav mic Austria, the greater the neces-
sity becomes for Germany TO go on arm
ing. Germany's friends in Austria are
Germans and Magyan; Germany's an
tagonists in the same country are the
Slavs. The two first elements earnestly
object TO the occupation of Slovenian
soil; the Austrian Slavs, though they
would have preferred to see Bosnia in
dependent, il this can not be attained,
readily acquiesce in having their own
Importance increased by the access OF a
Slavonic province or two. Slav aspira-
tions were supported, though from diff
ferent motives, by aristocratic and mill
lary parties high in favor at court. 1t
will be remembered that when the Her
zegovinian rebellion first broke out,
stringent measures were taken by the
civil authorities of the neighboring
Austrian provinces, while military COM
manders were inclined to show the
rebels more leniency, and at times dis
played practically useful compassion
in closing or opening the frontiers. The
action of the civil authorities was
directed by orders from the German and
Magyar Governments at Vienna and
Pesth the different attitude of the mill
tary service was the consequence of
feelings prevailing in high quarters.
Now that military motives are becoming
more and more influential, it is appre-
hended that, the new acquisition being
Slavonic, the domestic politics of the
Austro- Hungarian Empire may be grad
ually affected by change which, were
it permanent, would probably influence
foreign politics also. After the last few
wars and consequent political alterca
tons in more quarters than one, the
Continental system has been 80 very
delicately adjusted that even slight
alteration may produces sensible effect.

Cyprus As 1t lists Int0lerable Heat
and Deadly Fevers.

DIR. Clarke, in his travels, speaks of the
climate of Cyprus as excessively hot
and unhealthy. He says it's ports are
more sultry than any other in the
Levant. The towns are situated on the
eastern and northeastern coasts of the
Island, are subject to such dangerous
temperature that in the months of June
and July any one who goes out without
an umbrella runs the risk of being sun
struck. The great heat experienced on
the eastern coasts of Cyprus is owing to
the situation of the island with respect
to the Syrian, Arabian and Lybian
deserts, and to its mountainous nature
preventing the entrance of the cooler
winds, the west and northwest, from the
low shores to the east of northwest. All
the coast of Cyprus, from Salines to
Famagosta, is liable to hot winds from
every part of the compass. Malarious
fevers are very prevalent The fevers
of Cyprus, unlike those caught on other
shores of the Mediterranean, rarely inter
nit; they are almost malignant. The
Doctor sums up his observations on
Cyprus with these remarks: Instead
of a beautiful and fertile land, covered
with groves of fruits and fine woods
there is hardly upon earth more
wretched spot than it now exhibits Few
words may forcibly describe it: Agricul
ture neglected, inhabitants oppressed
population destroyed, pestiferous air
contagion, poverty, Incidence, desola

What the Voice Betrays.

A writer in the New York Tribune,
discoursing upon tones, says " the shrill-
tongued scold has the same vocal organs
which in Nilsson charm the world, and
the difference between the notes of the
two is largely difference of adjustment
of temper and of culture" The writer
continues:
There are voices that diffuse balm and
sweetness and love in every vibration !;
there are others that irritate and ex-
asperate; there is the voice of command,
of entreaty, of expostulation.
As the muscles of the face acquire at
length fixed and settled position and
give permanent expression to the face,
SO the muscles which are concerned in
the production of voice acquire at length
fixed and settled position and give per-
manent expression to the voice.
Persons habitually ill-tempered stamp
the expression of ill-temper on their
faces and in their voices; persons habit
ually amiable, refined, cultivated, show
these qualities in their faces, in their
voices and there is no installing them.
The voice often betrays what the face
conceals, and is surer index of char
acter to those who can interpret it,
modulations than even the face.

of flexible grin that seemed a permanent
fixture, changeable only in shape,
stepped up to another and reaching out

A PARTY OF miners were assembled at
an inn near Newcastle, in England, and
ne of them named Laverick dared an
other named Brain to pick off with pin
apiece of white paper on the end of a
small metallic case which he produced.
Brain expressed his readiness to pick off
the piece of paper, and, pin having
been procured, he proceeded to perform
the task. In doing so he did not observe
the other men, including Laverick had
quilted the room. Presently the pin
penetrated the case, which proved to be
dynamite cartrige, and an explosion
at once followed. Brain, on regaining
his senses, found himself lying on his
back in the room, his arms stretched out
on each side, and his left hand shattered,
while the right hand was also injured.
He scrambled to his feet, and the other
men came in, looking very much scared
by the result of their joke. Brain was
taken to surgeons. His left hand
had been blown to pieces and he was
otherwise severely wounded.

and as he was about to step in he was
surprised to see another man entering at
the opposite side. DIR. Ruppaner de-
manded of the driver which of the two
had hailed him first, and the cochcr de-
cided in favor of the New Yorker. He
then politely requested the stranger to
descend, but the latter answered.

DIR. Ruppaner replied: You are a
Prince, but ! am sovereign citizen
of the United States;" and without
much more ado he gently took the Prince
by the collar of his coat and seat of his
pantaloons and set him down quietly
upon the sidewalk The Prince went in
search of another carriage, and the
sovereign" rode off in triumph.

PROFESSOR BARFF, of England, whose
explanations of his new process for the
permanent protection of iron FROM rust
and atmospheric Influences formed the
great feature Of the recent conference of
British architects, has refused an offer
of 81 250, 600 for his patent rights. The
invention, which is likely to revolution
ize the iron trade, consists in coating
the metal with its own protoxide. 1t is,
however inapplicable to great standing
structures like the Menai Railway
Bridge, the days of which, consequently,
unless science has some further remedy
IN store, would appear to be numbered.

THOSE poisoned arrows from South
America in the Smithsonian Institute
at Washington are dangerous things to
fool with. The points are tipped with
wooruara, most deadly poison, which
seems to never lose its venom. A short
time ago some experiments were made
on rats, and though the point of the
arrow only pricked the hind legs of the
rodents, they died within five minutes
after the application.

EVER since the Sandwich Islands were
discovered by English navigators, the
people, kindly race, have been rapidly
declining in numbers. The native
population is less by one-half than it
was fifty years ago, and the prospect of
their extinction before the middle of the
next century, at the farthest, seemed
certain. But it is now claimed that the
rigid enforcement of sanitary law en-
acted in 1868 has already proved wonder
fully effective in checking the decrease
of population. According to the official
statistics, the excess of deaths over
births among the natives for the two
years 1870 and 1871 was forty-eight per
cent; for the next two years, twenty
nine per cent. for the two years end
ing with 1877, only sevenp cent. and
the next return, it is hoped, will show
and excess Of births over deaths.

Few persons are aware that veritable
Egyptian mummies are ground up into
paint. But in Europe mummies are
used for this purpose, the asphaltum
with which they are impregnated being
of quality superior to that which can
elsewhere be obtained, and producing a
peculiar brownish tint. when made into
