A Narrow Escape.

The whole royal family of Denmark
recently had narrow escape from in
Simultaneous death. The King, the
Queen and the Princess Thyra had left
their country residence Of Bernsdorff
Castle with the intention of driving in
to town to be present at the representa-
ton Of new national opera. The road
from the castle crosses the railway line
from Copenhagen to Elsinore, and there
is, therefore, a gate, which is closed
whenever train is expected to pass;
but on this night, by the neglect Of the
gatekeeper, the gate was left open, and
the royal carriage went on it's way, when
suddenly train turned a curve and
passed SO close that the hind wheels of
the carriage were actually touched by
the buffers of the engine, while only the
presence of mind of the driver of the
carriage containing the ladies and gen.
tlemen in waiting, which followed close
after the royal carriage, saved it's occu-
pants from certain destruction, the train
passing between the two carriages. The
railway company instantly dismissed the
gatekeeper, but, at the request of the
King, who thought that the man had
had such lesson that he would be sure
to be careful in future" he was reinsta-
ted in his situation.

A NOVEL ceremony was lately per-
formed in front of the Court House in
Los Angeles, Cal. It was the solemn
administration of the Chinese oath to
tell " the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth" All Chic and
All Quong were indicted for robbing a
Chinawoman of jewelry and other valu-
ables. AS all the parties to the suit
were Mongolians, the Judge concluded
that it would be just the thing to swear
the witnesses in Chinese fashion. AS
the ceremony consisted of sacrifice by
fire and blood, the court moved to the
sidewalk to offer it. It requires a
chicken to be killed, and several wax
tapers on sticks, and some yellow paper
covered with Chinese characters to be
burned. The witnesses walk over the
burning paper while the oath is being
read to them and repeated, and the
prosecuting witness chops off the
chickens head with sacrifcial cleaver.
and the oath is accomplished The pa
per on which it is written is thrown into
the fire and consumed with the chicken.
After this ceremony Cinnamon are
qualified to tell the truth.

He Saw Their Game.

He is prominent newspaper man,
and parts his hair in the middle. The
part is over five inches wide, which
gives him an innocent cast of counte-
nance. To those who know him not he
might be considered verdant in appear
ance. He was riding in a sleeper on
the Central Pacific railroad, and fell
into an innocent little game of pedro with
a Colonel, professor, and a doctor.
During an animated conversation and a
quiet deal, three aces were thrown on
his side of the table, after which one of
the three gayly remarked, with the
greatest GOODNESS, II wish that we were
playing poker. I don't know that I
have been favored with such hand for
years." Our editorial friend saw the
game, looked up innocently, and re-
marked: Il have been favored also. I
have a pretty good poker hand myself. !"
The three looked at each other as he
continued thusly: "They call you pro-
fessor?" Eyes" "They call you
Colonel?" Eyes" "You are from the
East, I believer" eyes" well, gem
tlemen," he continued, rising, "you had
better take the next train back. We

The national commission appointed
to investigate the causes of the yellow
fever in the Southwest has become con-
vinced, after due examination, that this
pestilence is not indigenous in the at
'mosphere in any part of the United
States; that in New Orleans it was
caused by Importation that there seems
to be no doubt that the plague was car
ried from that city to other places, and
that, under favorable circumstances, it
might prevail in any part of the Union.
Under this view of the subject, the COM
mission.is of the opinion that the only
reasonable protection to keep yellow
fever from this country is strict sys-
tenn of national quarantine. NJ

savage to white people, they are fond Of
the Indian children.
The dogs are often harnessed and
made to draw loads, as the Indians have
no wagons. The ends of two poles are
tied on the dogs sides, upon which the
load is fastened, and is drawn over the
ground.
The teepes, or huts, in which the In
dams live, are made of buffalo hides
that are dressed and smoked until they
are soft like canvas. These teepes are
moved nearly every day, as the Indians
i'll summer live in one place but short
time. When moving, the Indian chill
dren ride on the ponies, the papooses
behind and sometimes before their
mothers. An Indian woman and three
children are often seen on one pony.
They ride In the rain, apparently in
different to cold, with only a piece of
blanket for a covering. At night, a
single blanket is the only protection
from the ground. All the Indian chill
dren go barefooted in summer, but wear
moccasins in winter; they have no
head-covering except in the coolest
weather, when a piece of blanket is
worn.
Of course the weakly children die
from these exposures, but the hardships
endured by those who live seem to in
vigorate rather than debilitate them.
But, despite their thefts and acts of
cruelty, each expects, when he does die,
to reach at. length the home of the
Great Spirit" and meet his comrades
on the Happy hunting grounds. >

The value of the eucalyptus as de-
stroyer of fever-producing miasm in
marshy districts is now generally ad-
mitted, and it's health-saving properties
are to be tested in the low-lying sections
of Cyprus. This wonderful tree. of Aus
tralia has been introduced into Africa,
especially in Algiers, with the most ben
eficent results. AS an instance of the
reputation which the eucalyptus has OBJ
tanned in Algeria it is related that a
mining company had lately planted as
many as 100000 trees near the great
iron mines of Mokta-el-Hadid. Down
to that time the workmen employed at
the mines had found it absolutely i'm
possible to remain in the district during
the summer months, so unhealthy was
the place. Those who attempted to do
so died, and it was at length found ne
cessary to take the laborers to and from
the mines by train every morning and
evening. Since the planting of the eu-
calyptus the men have been able to live
on the spot all the year round.

The estimates for the maintenance of
the French army for the next year de-
mand the enormous sum of 549,O00,OO0
francs. For such an expenditure the
republic should have an army equal in
strength and efficiency to any in Ell
rope; but it is not believed that a war
to-day would find France much better
prepared than she was when Napoleon's
Minister held that fatal interview with
the King of Prussia at Ems, only some
eight short years ago-it seems an age,
so many and great events affecting the
politics and condition of Europe have
been crowded into the intervening pc
Rod. France has no leader in whom
her people have faith; no man possess
ing the qualities necessary to command
efficiency in military organization and
to create real serviceable armies out of
the vast mass of crude material and the
prodigious sums of money devoted to
that object.

No COnundrums.

Here is a poser" to which CORE
spondent asks an immediate and explicit
answer: what do Episcopalians mean
by the Communion of Saint?'" This
reminds Causeur of a story which an
old-time minister used to tell A revi-
val was in progress in his church, and
during the service one evening, sailor
seeing no other place vacant, "came to
anchor" in the anxious Seats" not
knowing the special purpose for which
they were set apart. At the close of the
service the good pastor, supposing him
anxious for spiritual comfort, took a
seat by the sailors side and asked him
how he felt. pretty well, thankee,"
said Jack, evidently pleased with the at
tention. "But how is it with your soul ?"
persisted the kindly old man. None
of that" said Jack, hitching himself
away; "1aone Of your conan

Dissemination Of Yellow Fever.

How is the disease disseminated? In
two ways: In a given town or city, by a
slow and regular progression from house
to house; between distant places, by
following the lines of travel and COM
merce. It is carried with especial fire
quency by sailing ships, and generally
makes it's first appearance in a previous
ly healthy place near the docks and
wharves. Whether the part of the town
nearest the water happens to be clean
or dirty quarter, a rich Or poor one,
makes no difference. Clean streets do
not check the disease, nor does foulness
favor it's spreading. In 1857 the yellow
fever prevailed in that part Of New
Orleans which was, by official report,
Gin the best possible sanitary con-
dition, and in no other, though the
rest Of the city was and had been for
years almost indescribably filthy. The
germs of the disease are portable, like
freight in bulk, and they will take root
in any soil. They Turk in baggage cars,
in boxes, and in clothing, in any loose
textured substance that is closely shut
up, as even in cargoes of sugar. In
porous materials like those-fomites, as
physicians call them-the poison will
hide and ripen for some two months
time, and develop it's fullest strength
of infection. A parcel sent from New
Orleans may start an epidemic of yellow
fever in Boston or Quebec.
The disease is one of hot climates,
and Of low alluvial ground by preference,
though any kind of soil will do for it,
and any elevation above sea-level that
is not too great for the degree of heat
required. That degree is a daily aver
age, continued for some weeks together,
of from IT deg. to 50 deg. Fla tempera-
ture which is reached for a month or
more together, and exceeded, during our
more than torrid summers, in almost any
of our towns and cities from Florida to
Maine. Yellow fever has prevailed as
far north even as Quebec, and may ex-
tend as far again in the future.
Of the mysterious way in which the
disease travels from house to house, a
living messenger of death, we know lit
tie. Science has not yet been able to
seize upon the secret of it's cause, which
in all cases is probably the same, though
some observers think that there are two
distinct forms of the disease. Is it in a
microscopic plant or insect, too small,
however, for detection by the highest
magnifying power yet at our command,
that it's exciting cause consists? That
is probable. It is supposed that these
germs enter the blood and destroy it by
a process comparable to that which is
set up in yeast by fermentation. It has
been suggested, very plausibly, that this
living germ can enter the human body
only at peculiar stage of it's own
growth, and that when it has completed
its career by multiplying there, it has no
power to leave that body and invade the
sanctuary of another life. This theory
would account for the non-contagious-
ness of the disease DR.. T. NJ. Coan,

To church with you and me.

To stay at home all day

And Winsome little face.
That mamma couldn't well refuse
Though church was not the place
For dolls or play things she well knew.
Still mammals little maid
Was always so Obedlent
She didn't feel afraid.
And though Cosette came straight from France.
She really was quite small,
And could be carried very well
Right under mammals shawl.
So. when they reached the great stone church
And sat inside pew.
Cosette was p aced in Mabel's arms
Both of them dressed in blue. tf
NO mouse was ever half so still
AS this sweet little lass,
Until the sermon was quite through
Then this did come to pass:
A dozen babies more or less,
Dressed in long robes of white, ~
We're brought before the altar-rail-
A flash of heavens own light
Then Mabel stood upon the seat
With dolly held out straight,
And this is what the darling said:
: 0 minister, pease to wait.
And wash my dolly up like that
Her name it is Cosette,
The $ minister smiled and bowed his head :
But mamma bushes yet.

The Balance Of Trade.

From the monthly statement of the
Chief of the Bureau of Statistics to the
Secretary of the Treasury the excess of
exports over imports Of merchandise
appears to have been as follows: Month
ending Aug. 81, 1877, 1,652; month
ending Aug. 81, 1878, 500, 1876, 900; eight
months ending Aug. 81, 1877, $3S,951,-
995; eight months ending Aug. 81,
1878, $1S8,5O1 ,O87. The excess of ex-
ports over imports of gold and silver
(coin and bullion) appears to have been
as follows Month ending Aug. 81,
1877, $418,64O; month ending Aug. 81,
1878, 1920, 22S; eight months ending
Aug. 81, 1877, $25, 3,551; eight months
ending Aug 81, 1878, $621, 1888. These
statements indicate an increasing flow
of specie and of American securities
toward this country.
