What a Minority Can DO.

Vienna, Sept. 25.-The Hungarian
radicals will hold a mass meeting at
Pesth, Sunday next, to protest against
the occupation of Bosnia. Deputies
Helfy and Simeoi lead the movement.
Resolutions declaring that the occupa-
tion of Bosnia will be fatal to the Hun
garian nation will be submitted. They
demand the withdrawal of troops from
Bosnia and declare an intention to or
ganize a movement. 1t petitions the
Hungarian diet for the impeachment

is regarded as party maneuver of a
small but turbulent minority, as the
recent elections gave the government a
large majority.

Marquette, Mich, special says: Y es-
terday an examination Of witnesses was
proceeding here to secure testimony to
be used in the case of the United States
vs.. Samuel j. Tilden, to recover the
deficiency in his taxes. In the course
Of the examination certain books con-
tanning accounts of the New York iron
mine were being used. Tilden's coun-
sci, the Hon. Thomas Harland, of New
York, handled the books during the
proceedings and laid them in a pile
near the door. About half-past 8
O'Clock as the commissioner was quietly
proceeding with the dapositions, two
men suddenly rushed into the room,
one covering the other by thrusting
himself between the books and the
officers, white the other passed the
books to conspirator on the stairway.
At this juncture, Mr.. Wetmore, the
witness, pursued the robbers to the
foot Of the stairs, but by means of a
carriage standing prepared, the vii
lains escaped under cover Of the night.
As soon as the papers could be issued,
over which there was some delay owing
to the lateness of the hour. mounted
officers started in pursuit, but sue
ceeded only in overtaking the empty
carriage about two hours. after the
robbery. 1t is said the evidence being
procured from the books was making

The " Uses" Of Pain.

The question is often asked, "What
is the use of pain? 1t is scarcely con-
ceivable that the infiiction has no OBJ
ject.' There are obviously two aspects
of this question: in one Science has an
immediate interest; with the other it
has a secondary but not unimportant
concern. The first is essentially phys
ical. What useful purpose does pain
subserve in the animal economy? The
answer is thrust upon us by daily OBJ
servation and experience. There are
two sentinels posted, SO to say, about
the organism to protect it alike from
the assaults of enemies without and ex-
acting friends within. The first of these
guardians is the sense OF fatigue. When
this speaks, there is need of rest for re-
pair. If the monitor be unheeded, ex-
haustion may supervene; or, before that
point of injury is reached, the second
guardian will perhaps interpose for the
vital protection-namely, pain. The
sense of pain, however, is more directly
significant of injury to structure, active
or threatened, than an excessive strain
on function, although in the case of the
vital organs pain occurs whenever the
pressure isgreat. Speaking generally,
1t may be set down as an axiom that,
whatever collateral uses pain may SUBJ
serve, its chief and most obvious serv-
ice to humanity is as a deterrent and
warning sensation to ward off danger.
1t is worthy of note, though sufficiently
familiar to medical observers, that the
absence of this subjective symptom in
cases of severe injury is too often indie
alive of an injury beyond repair The
extinction of pain is not the highest,
although it may be generous, impulse.
If there were no guardian sensibility of
this nature, it would be. impossible to
live long in the world without self-in-
ilicting the most formidable injuries.
That pain, in the second place, has an
educational value, as regards the mind
and temper, no one can doubt. Some
forms of pain would seem to be chiefly
intended for this purpose; but even in
this view pain has practical interest,
because the higher development of the
mind which controls the body, and of
which the brain is the formative organ.

cognizance. The subject as whole is

The Prussian Military System.

The men of the guards are selected
not only for their stature, but also with
regard to individual character and re-
spectability, and it may therefore be
assumed that a larger proportion of
men in good circumstances are allotted

throughout the army, circumstance
to which shall not fail to have regard

AFTER DARK,

When twilight gathers in her sheaves.
And wheeling swallows skim the fiume,
The plowman, turning homeward, leaves
His pillow mid-furrow in the broom,
And through the melancholy ewes
The orange drops its milk-white bloom.
The old delights that go and come
Through sorrow, in the falling dew,
Like waves that wore wreath of foam
The darker that the waters grew,
Flow round my solitary home
AT evenings when the stars are few.
So sad and sweet as bridal tears
For broken homes, to see Withdraw
The child we love, have gone the years
We climbed the frosty hills, and saw
Descend on all the frozen meres
The sunlight breaking through theithaw.
Like one who in the driving snow,
When all the untrodden paths are dim,
Hears far-of voices, faint and low.
Across the woodland calling him
| hear the loved of long ago
Singing among the seraphim.
And as the soft, assembling light
Falls, shadowy into dusky red,
| think how beautiful the night
With gathering stars Is overspread,
Like seeds of many an old delight
Through sheaves of sorrow harvested
