Russian officers OF rank at Bucharest
declare they fully expect the English

The Times this morning says 1t can
not share Lord Haltington's regret
that Sir Wilfred Lawson WINS not con
tent with the debate in parliament
without division on his amendment.
The whole disc ussion, 1t Is said, has
materially tended to clear up the OBJ
scurities of a perilous situation, and has
brought the prospect OF peace nearer
than before, but no practical Inference
can be drawn from the facts. sixty
Jour member Of the house of commons
think the present juncture is not u
great emergency. While ii Is possible
good many erroneous conclusions
will be drawn from 1t, both at home
and abroad, the debate has not had
the same reassuriDg effects abroad,
though the Judgment founded on tele'
graphic summaries thereof may be re-
versed on the,receipt Of the full text OF
the speeches of Lords Beaconfield and
Salisbury. 1t is thought at Vienna
to point to the probability OF war, and
to hold only small hope OF congress-
which Is there believed to be the only
possible way ofreaching pacific soiu'
ton. This supposed attitude OF Eng
land is not approved at Vienna be
cause the Austrian government has
made no provision for the eventually
of a final failure of tho congress pro-
iect. 1t IL said, however, when the
necessity Of deciding is forced on
Count Andrassy, he will undoubtedly

Phstsgranh by the Eye.

From comparatively old times has
descended the curious superstition that
the object last visible to the dying eyeis
imperisha bic photographed upon the
dead retina. Most readers will recall to
mind tales ofretributiye justice based
upon the Identification and conviction OF
a murderer through the agency of his
photograph IN dead mans eye; and at
least once within the last ten years the
plot of acting drama, not to mention
half dozen sensation novels founded
upon the same thesis, has been made
to turn npon the terrible witness OF
such a rosues' gallery, The fact-tor
it IS a fact that such testimony is possi-
BILE has been authoritatiyely denied,
over and over agoln, by PSYCHOLOGISTS OF
established reputation; sneered at as a
relic Of metaphysical speculation REIN
forced by morbid fancy, and finally
scofed down as among the utter impos-
sibilities. But it turns out, as has ott-
en- been the case before, that this grim
conception Of poetic justice was founded
in fact, and that under certain circum-
stances the development OF such IN
arctiulo mortis images, latent though
they are, as identiliablc photographs, Is
a very simple aud practicable process.
This question has been carefully tested
recently with eyes Of horses and dogs in
the dissecting-room Of one OF our coll
leges, with the result Of finding, as
maintained by German Psychologists,
that such optOgrams can be readily ta-
ken vithrn an hour alter the death of
the animal, and developed by rapidly
dissecting out the retina and immedi-
ately immersing it ia ten per cent,so-
luton Of common salt. Il is, therefore,
one of the undeniable yerties Of science
that, under favorable circumstances, il
would be a matter Of no serious difficult
ty to identify murderer by this process
the fact furnishing only another illus.
ration of the proverb that the strangest
dreams of romance are often verified by
reality, No doubt Coroner's jury
would treat the revelations Of dead re-
tina ith little pardonable disrespect
to begin with, but single demonstra-
ton would suffice to convince even the
NEST skeptical of professional jurymen.

French Dog.

Mile. D., good and worthy lady,
who lived in a country house in the
neighborhood of Columbier, had dog
of special intelligence. He was Of the
race ofpoodles, which, everybody knows,
is remarkably sagaclous. When Mile.
D. passed the evening with ladies Of
her acquaintance in Columbier, as often
happened, the dog lighted her home by
carrying two little lanterns, which were
fastened on each end Of stick which he
carried in his mouth. If she went to
walk during the day the faithful dog
carried her work basket. On beauti-
full autumn morning, as Mile, D. was
going by vineyard on her way back
from Columbier, a hare sprang out into
the road. The dog set out after him,
fersook his mistress, and sOwed a part
of the contents of the work basket at
every turn in the field. When he came
home with the empty basket Mile. D.
scolded him well. Wholly ashamed,
with dropping ears and tail, he did not
wait for the end of the lecture, but
scanpered off. Scarcely had half the
hour passed when he came gaily back,
bringing a pair Of shears; then he
hurried of again and brought the knit
ting work; then skein Of thread, and
at evening all the articles which the
basket had contained, except the
thimble, were together again.

Woman's Mlssien.
BY HENRY CLAYTON.

Woman has a great mission in this
imperfect world. The Creator OF all has
placed it in her power to shape the des-
TIMES Of the world as she will-to make
it glorious, or debase it.
There is implantedin the breast Of
every man an iHmatc feeling Of reyer-
ence for the being who was given 10
man as a companion-and the most
brutal and debased, at times, acknowl-
edge this truth. Stained with crime,
dcbased by folly, they must still own TO
this holy feeling, and the name OF
mother, or of sister, is a thing to We
treated with reverence, even by the
fallen. The condmned prisoner in his
cell, the convict doing his weary work,
the reckless proGgate-all have the old
time fresh in their memories, when they
kneeled at that dear nother's knee, or
wandered with loved sister through
their childhood haunts, IN that FAR oil
but well remembered day.
To soothe the unhappy, to bring the
earring 10 penitcnhe, and give rest to
She troubled miud-this is woman's
mission. Man is the laborer, she the
solace and comfort. And when the
cares Of business, the evils which are in
the world. the deceitfLlness Of riches
he falsehood Of friends, weigh heavy Oh
his heart. it is her work to make his
bu.den lighter, by showing him how
deep and pure a fountain is woman'S
love and truth.
A glorious work she has, too, in
teaching the young the path their feet
should tread; in pointing out the pitfalls
which fill the track, and SO guiding
them that they may live TO make the
world the better for their part in It's
changing scenes.
Yes, woman has a noble mission, Il
glorious work. 1t rests with her to per-
form it well; and on man is tue response
bility and duty to help her all he can.
