A Deliberate Man.

Mr.. Watkins, Of Main Street, says the
Cincinnati Breakfast Table, is probably
one OF the most deliberate men that ever
went to sleep in church. He has q way
about him of saying and doing things
that pave the way to conception Of
eternity, and makes the progress offs fu-
neral procession seem like the fight of a
lightning express. He is always yawn-
ing and rubbing his eyes, as though he
had but just crawled out Of bed and
hadn't got fairly awake, and Mrs. Twlg-
ley, the next door neighbor, has been
frequently heard to remark that if it
wasn't for Mrs. Watkins, who gives his
clothes thorough brushing now and
then, the moss would have taken root on
him long ago. Even a boy on an errand
has been known to overtake him. This
can be authenticated. .s
Early last Tuesday morning Mr.. Wat
kins was seen coming down street in his
usual deliberate and unprecipitate man
ner, pausiLg occasionally to rub his eyes,
pick up a pin, or hearken to the gay twit
ter of the birds
AS he came opposite the residence Of
DR.. Bleedum, he noticed the doctors wife
sitting at the open window. and steady
ing himself against the fence,he observed
with a yawn that very nearly threw him

A Female Diver.

A reporter introduced himself to
pleasant-faced, sun-browned lady, who
in her unassuming personality represents
the only female rival to Boyton, Sydney
Cook, and other famous professional
divers of the century, and was gratifed
to hear that Mrs. Conradine woaEd detail
her strange experiences with pleasure.
Originally stewardess Of steamship, on
board Of which her husband served as
head waiter she had gone with him to
Mexico upon his entering the service Of
pearl-fshing company as diver. Watch
ing her husband and his mates at their
labors, her first experiment was made
in shallow water, and she came up bleed
ing at the nostrils, mouth and ears, and
tainted upon reaching the surface
Nothing daunted, she tried it again and
again, until she found herself able to re-
main under water as long as any of the
men.
In 1874, Mr.. Conradine was suffocated
through the breaking of his air supply
ing tube, and his widow succeeded to the
vacancy. Physically her sex proved NO
hindrance, but the people at the fisheries
were 10th to employ her, and she would
have had to give up her strange calling
but fo1 Captain Hartly, who gave her a
job on the schooner Gaviota, vessel car
rying struggled silver, which had sunk
on sandbank. eighteen miles from the
shore, in seventy five feet of water. The
adventurous woman found her task SCUM
pleasant that she was inclined to relin-
quish it after once going down but nettled
by the way the men sneered at her on
account Of her sex, she pe1severed un-
til the last cask of dollars was brought
up.
That she held out to the end says much
for Mrs. Conradine's courage. One day,
Pablo Vasquez, a frst-rate diver, went
down to put a torpedo in position to blow
up the schooner's deck. Before he had
come up again, the man in charge of the
battery exploded the torpedo, and Pablo
was killed.
On another occasion she was down at
the bottom when the Mexicans attacked
the Americans, and the man in charge Of
the air-pump had to leave his post to
defend himself. OF course there was
sudden stoppage of the air supply She
felt frightful sense of oppression at the
chest, there was thunderors roaring in
her ears, and a hot SILVER ran through
her body. Luckily the man at the signal
line was still at his place, and answered
her call, bringing her to the surface near
ly dead, her face all black and blood
stained. Another two minutes under
water would have killed her; as it was
she was incapacitated for work for a
couple of days. No wonder that, brave
as she had proved herself to be, the femi-
nine diver, when asked if she intended
to follow the perilous calling any longer,
shook her head significantly, as she re-
piled, mo more of 1t for me-

mensely popular. A single incident will
illustrate the character of the man. and
the reverence and affection, the curiously
commingled love and fear with which he
is regarded.
When I was at st. Petersburg the
burgomasters Of one Of the Baltic cities
were summoned by the government to
the court, and the Vice Consul of the
United States, who was with them, came
to see me in great anxiety. On what is
known 10 Russia as the Cars ssname-
day''-what we should call this birthday
it is the costom Of all the Russians Of
all classes and all religions, to gather in
their several churches to pray Tor the
Gar. The custom is absolutely univers-
al. Isuppose that even the Tartars meet
tor some kind of ceremonial. It seems
that in the province in question there was
a governor who was a soldier and a
Greek. He called on all the inhabitants
to meet in the Greek church.
The Lutherans refused to 90 to
the Greek church whereupon he
locked them out of their own church.
The report Of their refusal reached the
Car, and he had sent for their leading
men. I asked my informant to call and
see me after the interview was over, and
sat up for him. Late at night he return
ed with his report. He said that the del
egat.s were ushered into the waiting
room ranged around in a semi-circle
Presently the Gar entered with quick
step. He looked around on the circle
with keen glance. and then spoke.
"Why is it." said he, THAT my people
refuse to pray for me? | need their
prayers. What have done that I should
be denied them? I desire to be the faith
er of my people. Am I not their father?'
There happened to be in the centre of
the group the Lutherin minister, and
when the Gear had finished speaking he
replied. "Your Majesty" said he, "has
not anywhere in your dominions
o people more devoted to yourself, and
more earnestly DESTROYS of your Maj
est's health and welfare, and more CRATE
fnl for all your Majesty's love for and
care Of your people, than our citizens
had; but the governor demanded that we
should 90 into the Greek church and
pray for your Majesty's welfare We
Coulu uOt uO tndt, lOl ZIG prayers WOulu
be hypocritical. And when we desired
to go into our own churches, and there
pray for your Majesty, he locked us out.
Then we went into our own homes, and
there we prayed for your Majesty earn
estly and feryently, and we hope that
our prayers will be of avail" SWELL
said I, "what was the result?" Il do not
know" replied my informent. The Gar
looked round with his keen glance on
the circle again, ard then gave nod,
as much as to say that we might go; he
had done with us: ana we came away
But afterwards learned than when the
delegation got back to their home they
found that a telegram had preceded
them, and that the Greek governor had
been removed and German governor
had been appointed in his stead.

Russia and the Russians.

The government of Russia, is, as we all
know, an absolute depotism The nation
is governed by the Gear, aided by body
Of councillors composing Cabinet. They
are heads Of departments "a Minister of
Finance, Minister of Internal Affairs,
Minister of Ways and Means, the Minis
ter of Aslatic Affairs, the Chancellor of
the! Emperor, with adjuncts Of all these.
They form body Of men Immediately
surrounding the threne, and they really
govern Russia subject to the Gar, from
whom all the various subordinate officials
directly derive their power. OF course,
such system Of government is not one
to which we Americans could, for one
instant, subscribe, because we think that
all humanity ought to stand on com
mon level, and that every man ought to
have a voice in the government; that
government ought to be derived from the
people. These are American ideas: but,
at the same time, do not see how, IN the
present condition Of the masses inRuss ia,
their want of intelligence, they could
have better government than they have
1t is true that there are great abuses in
the provinces. Russia is divided into a
number Of governments, l think more
than fifty; and in addition to these are
the two Siberias. Poland, Finland and the
Baltic provinces. Now, in these provin-
ces, no one living in Russia, or who has
read the books published by per sons who
write frankly, can deny that there are
great abuses. Owing to the extent of the
empire these abuses can scarcely reach the
throne; but when they do they are cor
rected. DURING my residence in Russia
never knew one instance, and inquired
very often, in which any abuse Of any
citizen reached the Gar himself and was
nor corrected. Of course he is the great
parsonage, the one on whom rests the
entire system Of government. He is now
over sixty years Of age, has outlived his
predecessors, and is still a well-preserved
man. Peter the Great was titty-two years
ok when he died; Alexander was forty
eight; and Nicholas, the father of the
present Tar, was ffty-six. They are, as
q rules short-lived family. The Czal
devotes himself very much to the public
business, and is, think, very just man

States, ''level-headed, /" pre-eminently fail

Painting a Picture in Six Minutes.

A private letter received from an
American gentleman in Paris gives an
amusing account of a picture pa inted in
six minutes. Says the letter:
We were at the Cafe Chantant the
other night 1t is building somewhat
larger than the C0rcoran Gallery of Art.
1t is a great place for music, songs and
dances. There was one very amusing
feature. During one of the entr'' acts
they brought on an artist who was billed
to paint marine view in six minutes all
finished tor hanging the picture, not the
artist.
The canvass was brought on.
Out came the artist a quiet, nervous
looking young man Of about thirty years
of age.
His colors were all en- the palette, and
his brushes were in his hand.
''Attention!'' sang out the director.
The artist seized large brush.
At a signal the orchestral band struck
up clashing, maddeningly nervous
waltz.
AS thu first note was struck the artist
dashed mass of yellow upon the upper
pdlI VI Llt CduVdS. lutu d Ull VI Olut,
then, white, a dashof purple shadow, and
then, with quick twirl Of clean brush,
a dark blue sea is dashed in against the
horizon.
Two minutes gone.
The waltz goes on faster and faster.
The brush keeps time. A huge rock is
sketched in with burnt sienna and black.
A light house with vermilion range light
is dropped upon the top of the rock.
Clash, crash, one, two, three, a boat un-
der full sail is thrown into the dim dis
lance. Clash, crash, one, two, three, and
another boat is dashed in. Light upon
the waters is thrown in with a free,
steady hand. A huge brush then care
fully blends the edges of the masses, and
with profound DOW, the artist turns to
a cheering audience, grati6ed that he is
through en- time.
And the wonder is that the picture is
startling good in its broad effect. It is
strong and clear. The colora are good,
and not muddy mixed. 1t was as good
novelty as ever saw at any show, and

The Housewife.

What has this woman been doing,
So long since the morning began:
I don't belive she can remember
One-half of the work she has done.
Dressing the dear little baby,
Combing his soft sllken hair,
Putting him back in the cradle
To sleep and grow healthy and fair,
Doing the work in the kitchen,
Just what it happens to be,
Covering books for the school-room,
Ready for callers at three.
Mending and making and chatting,
Two or three children to teach,
Ifnot the primers first lesson,
Methods no others can peach.
That's what this waman's been doing,
Day after day tits the same;
Angels, o watch and defend her
"Mother"-for that is her name.

Speak Gently.

A loud boisterous tone shows want of
good breeding. The first principale OF
politeness is to make those about you feel
pleasant, and rude coarse manner OF
speaking is annoying to most persons.
A good ancedote is related Of a man,
who went by the name of 6 Whispering
John, ., which was given to him in ridi-
Guile. People said he talked as though
he were brought up in mill. One cold
morning he walked into public house,
and called out in his laundering voice:
:. Good morning, landlord, how are
you?'
every we'll, how are you?"

The Loved and Lost.

lne LOveu anu LOST.
'The loved and lost" Why do we call them
lost?
Because we miss them from our onward
road?
Gods unseen angel DER our pathway crost,
Look ed on us all, and, loving them the most,
straightway relieved them from life's weary
load.
They are not lost: they are within the door
That shuts out loss and every hurtiul thing
With angels bright, and loved ones gone before,
In their Redeemer's presence evermore,
And God himself their Lord, and Judge and
King.
And this we call s'loss?" O selfish sorrow
OF selfish hearts! o we OF little faith!
Let us look round, some argument to borrow
Why we in patience should await the morrow
That surely must succeed this night of
death.
Aye, look upon the dreary desert path,
The thorns and thistlcs where Ter we
turn;
What trials and what tears, what wrongs and
wrath,
What struggles and what strife the journey
hath?
They have escaped from these; and 10! we
mourn.
Ask the poor sailor when the wreck is done,
Who with his treasure strove the shore to
reach,
While with the raging waves he battled on,
Was 1t not Joy when every joy seemed gone
10 see his loved ones landed on the beach!
A poor wayfarer, leading by the hand
A little child, had halted by the we'll
To wash from off her feet the clinging sand
And tell the tired boy of the bright land
Where, this long journey past, they longcd
to dwell;
When 10! the Lord, who many mansions had,
Drew near and looked upon the suffering
twain,
Then plying spake, Give me the little lad.
In strength renewed, and glorious beauty
I'll bring him with me when come again"
Did she make answer selfshly and wrong:
Nay, but the woes | feel he too must
sharer'
or rather bursting into graceful song,
She went her way rejoicing, and made strong
To struggle on, since he was freed from
care.
We will do likewise; death has made no
breach
In love and sympathy, in hope and trust;
No outward sign or sound our ears can reach
But there's an inward spiritual speech
That greets us still, though mortal ton CUES
be dust
It bids us do the work that they laid down
Take up the song where they broke off the
strain;
So journying till we reach the heavenly town
Where are laid up our treasures and our
crown,
And our lost loved ones will be found again

Suicide IN South WHEEIiSG.--About II
O'Clock Yesterday morning Mr.. George
Watson, who Is engaged in boating sand
in the river at the southern part OF the
city, discovered the body OF Geo. +. Tape,
n well.known Eighth Ward grocer, in the
water near the La Belle wharf. The body
when first noticed was lying on the fiat Of
tho back, with tho face upturned, and the
hands clenched as II the unfortunate man
had died in the greatest agony. Mr.. wat.
son lowed the corpse to the shore and
sent word TO Justice Schultz, who at once
summoned q Jury and held an inquest,
The iury being composed OF the following
gentlemen: Dillon j. Mccormick, fore.
man: John Klein, Jacob Hobstetter, Carl
Hapedorn. John B. Jackson, Wm.IL.
Rose. c. D. Thompson, Francis Flood,
Jefferson Miller, Henry Hahne, Louis
Serge and Isaac p. Freeze,
itappears from the evidence that Tape
some time since received o hurt on the
head. which affected his mind, and upon
several occasions he has shown unmistak.
able evidence OF insanity. For several
days past he had talked a good deal Of 60
ins away--of trayeling.and Yesterday
morning ABOUT HHiI'ptSt 4uui VVioSh he
cfthome saying he was going away upon
business. Nothing particular was thought
OF this freak, as his family had become
accustomed to hearing him talk OF leaving
home and paid but little, II any, attention
TO what he said. He was not seen again
hy any Of the family until he was brought
home dead. 1I,
The Jury, after examining several wit
nesses, returned verdict to the effect that
deceased had come to his death by COM
hitting suicide, because Of q arrangement
Of the mind caused by sickness"
Tape was about thirty-fiyeyears Of age,
and leaves wife and several children.
He was formerly in the saloon business,
but for year or two past has been keep
ing grocery on Eoff street, between seth
and S7th streets. We were told by Jus
tice Schultz that when the unfortunate
man left his home he had upon his person
a number OF valuable papers which cannot
now be found. There Is no suspicion OF
foul play, however, as no marks OF Syio-
lence were found upon the body.
