knock each other in the head, and when

work will thrive. Those who are idle
will starve. There is no fear that God s

A Well Known Woman.
Burlington Haxkeye.] ]

The woman who is always falling to
pieces came to the station little late
and had to make a rush for the train.
When she reached her seat her hat fell
off. She got it on, but it toppled over
to one side, and when she tried to
straighten it up her hair came tumbling
down. She lost her ticket twice before
the conductor reached her, and would
have lost it again if he hadn't taken it
away from her. She reached up to put
a bundle in a rack above her head and
burst the collar off her duster, and stuck
her fingers on four pins in her dress be-
fore she found one that she dared take
cut to repair the damage. Then just as
she thought she had got comfortably
settled, her little hand valise, packed to
bursting with enough things to load a
Saratoga trunk to the muzzle, exploded,
and she nearly worked herself into frag-
ments getting it together again. Then
by the time she got the valise shut up
her hat tumbled off again, and by the
time she got her hat Strengthened back
into its place, her hair tumbled down
again, and as soon as she got her hair
twisted up, and harpooned in with a
couple of hair-pins, the valise went of,
and when she got of at New Prague
she tucked the gasping valise under her
arm, and tried to corral her toppling hat
and wandering hair with one hand, and
as she went futtering and strangling
into the depot, one couldn't help think
ing that it would be safer and more
convenient to run her in sections and
flag her against everything. 1 have
seen this woman on several other trains,
and she has never been able to keep her
self together. She keeps you in state
of agonizing suspense, for you never
know where she is going to give way
next.

A New Use for Mirrors.

An engineer on the New York Cen
tral and Hudson River Railroad has
introduced a new feature by placing
looking glasses outside on the engine, at
an angle from the cab. These enable
him to see the rear part of the train at
all times without putting his head out
to watch for conductors signals when
making up trains. The custom of using
such glasses on private residences has
been in vogue for some time. Two
glasses are placed on window-sill and SO
arranged that person sitting in room
can watch all passers-by from either
direction on the street, or in case any
one calls and rings the door-bell while
madame happens to be dishabille,
all that is necessary is to give the glass
turn, and the caller is rapidly dis.
cernable.

Russian. Atrocities.

A London correspondent writes to the
Dublin Freeman's Journal: If the hor-
rible disclosures made last night be in
deed disclosures of things that have hap
pened, then the Emperor of Russia may
well shrink from accepting the report
of the Rhodope Commission. 1t is said
the details, which / am about to repro
duce, have, in properly authenticated
form, reached the Foreign Office, that
they are in the hands of the Ministers,
and that they have been disclosed to the
Queen. The Commission worked stead
lily throughout the entire districts where
the outrages by the Russian soldiers
were alleged to have taken place. 1t
was never believed that they could per-
petrate the mystery with which the
events had been covered, but the Com
missioners were resolute. As they pro-
ceeded horror on horror was disclosed,
and thus they were drawn on until the
agonies of the recital became too much
for them, and one day they quite broke
down, and almost Joined, we are told, in
the bitter weepings of some hundreds of
sufferers. At all events, the days sit
ting was dissolved. There seems to be a
singular prejudice in the Russian army
in favor of cutting off the breasts Of
women, for wherever the Commission
sat were found cases of this form oi
mutilation. Rolling women in tar OF
petroleum, or other infammable sub
stances, and then setting them alight, ii
a method of torture more rarely re
sorted to; but fire seems to have beer
found a convenient instrument of de
struction when a good lot of Mussul
mans were trapped together in barn
or the like. If it be true that the gov
ernment have in their possession docu
ments proving these horrors, it is thei
duty to place them before the countr,
and the world.

Two Anecdotes of the Second Empire.

Paris Letter to New orleans P1cayune.
Granier de Cassagnac has begun to pub
lish memoirs of the second empire. They
are already extremely interesting. He
was in the green room during the whole
performance of the imperial drama, and
few it any secrets were withheld from
him. He tells very amusing anecdote
of Theirs and Mole. They pressed Louis.
Napoleon to cut off his mustache as the
surest way to secure his election to the
Presidency, "for now the civil not the
military element is to be foremost. See,
neither of us wears beard" Here is
another very characteristic anecdOte:
In 1848 he charmed the women of
Faubourg st. Antoine with his good
nature. He had come incognito to Paris
and visited the ruins which Gen.
Cavaignac's cannon had made in this
quarter of Paris. 1t was the 26th of
June, during the truce which General
Cavaignac had granted the insurgents.
The woman of Rue des Faubourg st.
Antoine, less fanatical and more practi-
cal than their husbands, brothers, or
children, were at once busy demolishing
barricades. While they were at work
they saw walking up the street, walking
calmly and slowly in consequence of the
obstacles of all sorts which encumbered
the street, man leaning on friends
arm. He wore delicate straw-colored
gloves, carried a cane, and observed
them as they demolished barrIcades.
Annoyed both by his aristocratic dress,
bearing, and his air of security, the wo-
men screamed at him, F." Look here, you
dandy! you had better help us put these
paving stones in their old places instead
of idly sauntering about as you are
doingP' He replied: You are right,
aunty; I have come to Paris for the
very purpose of trying to re-establish
order, and it is perfectly right that I
should help you in your work of pacifi-
cation" He stopped, slowly drew of
his gloves, gave them and cane to his
friend, took a paving stone, fitted it in
its hole, steadied it there with four
handfuls of sand, then puton his gloves,
took his cane and walked off, bowing to
the women as he went. They applauded
him and laughed heartily.

Seaside Flirting.
Jennie june in Baltimore American

There is good deal of kind of
flirting done, which / am inclined to
think is more dangerous to the gentle
man than the lady in the case. Jolly
good fellows, some of the husbands are,
secure in possession and consciousness
of the alteration of their stylish wives,
quite willing that they should be occu-
pied!by anything that comes along during
their week of absence, and infinitely
amused at the "spoons. some young
fellow makes of himself over married
woman, perhaps with romping boy and
a baby. 4" Pm leaving a 'feller' with
my wife," remarked one of those good
natured husbands, as he took seat in
the hotel stage on his return to town.
"See thereP Sure enough, sailing
along the wide piazza with his pretty
wife, and trying to dodge her trailing
as if he had been whittled down to a
fine point. The husband caught her
eye and kissed his hand. She kissed
hers sweetly in return. The young
gentleman glared. You're not afraid?"
remarked, laughingly and interroga-
lively, the gentleman to whom he had
spoken before. "Afraid-of WHAT" he
repeated, with contempt, 80 supreme
that neither doubt nor suspicion could
harbor there. These youthful cavaliers
are not, however, often left in attend
ance. They "drop down during the
week, when the comparative rarity of
masculine presence makes them more
welcome, when the obsticles in the
shape of husbands are not in the
way, and when whatever affords diver
sion is looked upon as somewhat of a
godsend.
"Do you think that such woman
can care anything for that great vulgar
brute of husband of hersT' came in a
burst of confidence from one of these
sentimental admirers of a handsome and
brilliant married woman. "Not when
you're round, my dear fellow" replied
the man whom he addressed; lust
propose yourself as a substitute, and
see how quick she'll take you at your
word. T" "Ah, yes," lisped the other; ssbut
you see, then there would be divorce
and all that sort of thing, and I'm not
marrying man." "Ain't your was
the reply. Well, no, suppose not;
except for your clothes no, one would
ever suspect you were man at all"
The speaker whistled and walked off
with his hands in his pockets, while the
other was trying to get the meaning of
the last remark through his head.
The present period seems to be fertile
in the production of a lot of sappy
youths, who are devoted to neckties !;
who have not strength, honor. or manli-
ness enough to make love to young
girl; who would not dare to take the
responsibility of supporting a wife, but
who consider that they gain some re-
Aected glory by making one of the trail
of worshipers that dog the steps of any
woman who attains distinction or noto-
| riety.

Simple Lessons in Science.

Force is that which sets a body in
motion, as for instance, the police force,
which makes body move on.
There would be no heaviness in the
world if it were not for gravity. Corol-

A solid body would not get much
good out of Mudie's, since it obsti-

A liquid violently resists all attempts
to force it into close confinement, spread

level; and many liquids communicate
these little peculiarities of theirs to
those who imbibe them.
When anything is weighed in water
it suffers a loss Of weight. This is es-
pecially true in the case of salt.

to 1000 grains. Take pound of sand

that the Branch Press has anything to

Most physicians teach that noise is the

At these words an exclamation burst
from the lips of Sebastian; he raised his
eyes, sufused with tears, imploringly to
his master, and said, with faltering
voice:

me the freedom of my father!"
"Your own freedom and his also, my
