How a Woman Buys Meat.

There is so much of " human nature" in
the following, that we doubt not many Of
our fair readers will gently smile, if not
" laugh right out,' as they read it:
When woman enters butcher-shop to
select piece of meat for dinner, she has
her mind made up to take mutton roast.
Therefore, when the butcher rubs his
hands, and asks what she will have
she promptly replies: :,

''And you'll take it?'' .-
"Let's see, she muses., "Y-no, guess
not. I'd better take pork chops"
"Nice chops-how much?" he asks.

"And it was young hog?'
"Quite youngish, madam

His MurnhY Money.


~. There was little incident in this CITY
the other day, Says the Springfield
UnSon,) which Francis Murphy's gener-
Gus soul would have rejoiced to see. A
hard-working man had ordered some coal
and was paying for it, when he found that
his pocketbook did not contain enough
by quarter of dollar. Telling the
dealer that the deficiency would be made
up when the coal was delivered at the
house: he turned to go away. "Hold
on!" he exclaimed, coming back mo-
ment later, his face aglow, " that is my
Murphy money. I signed the pledge
when Murphy was here; you know I had
steamed it pretty hard before that, and
now whenever I feel as if I must have a
drink, take from my pocketbook the
ten cents it would have cost and I put it
in there So there's eighty cents saved
already, and no time lost from wsrk."
And he walked away a very happy man.

, A pitiable sight presented itself on the
18th Of July, after the races, in the person
Of a well-dressed young man, about nine
teen years old, from Newark, who was
literally "dead drunk" He was taken to
the Doctors Office, where it required two
hours of faithful work 70 arouse him from
the death-like stupor in which he lay. At
one time his pulse was weak and futter-
ing and the coma so profound from the
alcoholic poison which he had taken, it
really looked as if it might be his last
sleep. The stomach pump, and every ap-
pliance was brought into requisition to
unload him, but too much time had
elapsed to prevent the narcotic poison.
His comrade, a fine appearing young man
though himself intoxicated, wept at the
sorrowful appearance of his friend. This
is what some call having a good time
but it is really transforming the man into
brute, until all semblauce. of a better
nature is destroyed. And then how that

The Russla-Turlkish Treaty of Peace.

The Auss1a-Turk1sh Treaty OF Peace.
A Vienna correspondent summarizes
the official text of the treaty of peace. The
treaty is substantially the same as already
teleg:aphed. The territory cedcd to Montene-
gro is,however, twice as large as Montenegrins
could have claimed on the basis of the possi->
blities. This decision of territory is principal
ly to the northeast, Servia being considerably
increased on the southwest, the Turks to gain
access to Bosnia and Herzegovina without en-
tering servia or Montenegro, but must cross
the Montrogona mountains. The frontier of
Bulgaria extends further west than was at
first stated, the new boundary being formed by
river Struma approaching within few miles
OF salonica. Russia, however, has made con-
cession that in one year after the in PRODUCTION
OF the new regime in Bulgaria, the Porte
Russia and European cabinets may agree to
associate the special delegates with the Rus
sian commissioner, who is charged with re-
organization of the province after the treaty
concludes. After exchange of notifications, a
place and time will be agreed upon providing
this act with solemn forms usual with treaties
of peace, but the contracting parties are form
ally bound from the moment of the ratificati n.
The correspondent remarks that thus far, al
though the cooperation of powers is not dis
tinctly mentioned as necessary to make peace
defnitive, still admission is indirectly made
that something more is required.

Death on the HUDSON.

The steamer Magenta blew up opposite
New York on the Esd inst She left Havcr~
strow landed at Sing Sing, took on board a
large number of passengers, and started for
New York. She started out into the river a, dis
lance of two miles, when the passengers were
startled by a terrible explosion. A scene of
the widest terror followed, and when the
steam cleared away there were seen lying in
the forward cabin, near the stove, directly in
front of the engineers room, the bodies of a
dozen men,. The steam on the floor still
created light vapor and the surrounding
woodwork was dripping from its nearness to
the exploded pipe. Two were dead and eight

the Magenta enveloped in smoke started off
at once, and in a short time had come up to
her, the wounded were at once transferred to
her. and the dead to the Thomas P. May"
which had just come up, and by the latter
conveyed to Sing Sing. Exactly how the &C.
cident occurred is not yet known. The spot
where it happened was between the main and
upper deck well forward. The steam chest,
which was the cause of the accident, was for
| ward Of the engine and measured about 10 feet
in circumference. It is surmised that bolt
started and was blown out. 1t is said the Ma
genta was running at great speed across the
flats to get ahead of the opposition boat.
Albert Ruhnels and Mr.. Wright, of Sing Sing
were killed outright. Mr.. Law, of Sing Sing

Peace or War.

A leading article in the Times, after
considering the terrible consequences that
would follow great war, and the terrible re-
sponsibility on the power which brings it on,
concludes as follows: Nevertheless England
must adhere to this demand that the entire
treaty of San Stefano must be submitted to
the Congress. The alternative plan suggest
ed by Russia would raise the previous uues
ton on every clause of the treaty, except
those which Russia of her own accord brought
before the Congress. But far more important
issues than the interests of any power are at
stake. We take our stand on the existing
treaty. The one hope of statesmen, for the
future peace of the world, must be founded
upon the development of system of public
law upon the maintenance and increase of
the authority of treaties. If the public law
of Europe be valid, until formally repealed,
any new arrangement between Russia and
Turkey falls pso .tacto by its very nature.
Within the scope Of the treaties of 1856 and
1871, it is not in the power of Russia, and it is
not even within the competence of the con-
gress, to decide whether or not certain
clauses of the new treaty fall within the cog
nizance of the signatories of the old treaty it
is bound to take the new instrument into con-
Iteration as whole" ..@ AZ
