The ROthschllds VIctimized.

The Rothschilds of Paris have been
victimized through what they had in
tended to be a shrewd business opera
ton. A little more than two years ago
they sent to the government mint at
Bordeaux silver, in bars, to the value OF
1000, 900 francs, and requested that it
uncoined silver was then selling at con-
siderable discount from its nominal
worth as circulating medium, and al
though the French government had
ceased coming silver on its own account,
yet the laws regulating the mint did not
permit of a refusal to receive and stamp
the metal. As a possible means of get
ting out of the difficulty, the Rothschilds
were told that the pressure of work was
so great that the coined money could
not be delivered for two years; but after
making an estimate, which showed
that they could afford to sacrifice the
interest or their money for this period
and still make q handsome profit,
the bankers replied that they were
willing to wait. The silver was
turned over to the superintendent of
the mint, who gave them certificate OF
deposit, but when at the end of the
stated time they called for their money
they were told that it could not be de-
livered to them, for the silver bars had
been stolen, silver-plated copper bars
having been substituted for them. To
the Rothschilds this was an unqualified
loss, for the government DEGREES ex-
pressly provide that it is not to be held
responsible for bullion sent to its minis
by private persons who desire to have it
coined, while in the case of the officials
at the mint it is merely breach of trust.
for which they cannot be held crimi.
nally accountable. The primary action
on the part of the Rothschilds was largely
colored by what is known as sharp prae-
tice, so that the sympathy felt for them
will be in some degree mitigated; but
the incident will have one result, that
unless change is made in the French
laws regulating the coinage of bullion,
very little metal owned by private in
dividuals is likely to find its way into
the government minis.

Babylon.

It is usual for travellers to dwell upon
the utter desolation of Babylon, and tn
paint its site as strip of desert, espe-
cially woe-begone and unfertile. But
the eloquent gentleman who dwells
upon this aspect of the place could not
have seen it in the middle of April.
The date groves and gardens along the
banks of the Euphrates are then things
of beauty in their fresh spring verdnre,
and the plain itself is laid down with
crops. Irrigation canals cross it here
and there and give much trouble to the
horseman. No grass grows upon the
mounds, and there are patches OF the
level white with nitre which is to be
found here as in other parts of Mesopo-
tamia but the surface of the soil is on
the whole green and pleasant to the eye;
The glad waters of the river flow on in
the bright morning sunshine, with palm
and mulberry hanging over its banks,
drinking in sap and life. The great city
which counted its population by mil
lions, and filled the world with renown
not yet forgotten, has disappeared I'M
der the dust Of twenty centuries, but
nature is as fresh and jocund Oh when
Babylon was still unbuilt. Birds sing
overhead in the pleasant spring air ;
butterflies futter about in search of
flowers ; balmy odors regale the sense.
1t is difficult under the circumstances
to feel as one perhaps ought to feel for
the great capital that once numbered
this ground. Nature does not mourn
for it, and it is hard to be sad at the
bidding of sentiment when the bright
spring hides its grave.

ably, but usually discovery pertains
to the finding out, or bringing to view
that which previously existed but was
not known to exist, while an invention
is that which is devised or produced ;
or combined in o manner not before
known, and which, as o whole, did not
formerly exist. Columbus discovered
America. Edison invented the phono-
graph.
"Glass" may be termed both dis.
covery and an invention, because 1t has
been found in natural state, but it is
usually termed an invention, because
mans Ingenuity combined the materials
artificially to make glass. When or
where glass was invented is not known.
Il dates far back into antiquity. It
was known to the Egyptians and Phoe-
Dicians. The earlier products were
probably opaque. Transparent glass
does not appear to have been known in
Egypt much before 75O B. C.-Hawkeye.

On CRYING BABY.-Shriek away
Cry on! Make oil the noise you can
I've no doubt it does you good. You
are grieved, or angry. or something

father Notwithstanding his cate
chism Waken any old bachelor who
may be in the house from his dreams,
and disturb everybody to your souls
content Have your day while you
can the time will come when, suffer
as you may, you will not dare to weep.
All your misery, all your woe, all your
passion, you must then hide within
your bosom. If tears fall, they must
do it silently. Often and often you
will feel that you would like to 60 upon
a mountain top and yell until you
awaken the world-cry until the rivers
arose, and there, were floods but, like
the rest of us, you will then bear it all
in silence, smile politely when any one
sees you, and above all, make no noise,
no disturbance, though there be o
power of misery within you strong
enough to work the mills of Fate.
Go on. baby shrek, kick, sob away

The DROWNING OF A HAREM.-An
incident illustrating the amenities of
Oriental life is thus related by the Lon
don Truth: 81 wonder how many men
on board our feet lately in the sea of
Marmora are aware that at the back of
Princes Island, not seventy years ago.
the whole harem Of the Sultan Selim
was drowned to the number of three
hundred. The said Selim had been
murdered by his nephew Monstapha,
who in turn was murdered by his
brother Mahmoud. This last was
much attached to his uncle Selim,
and he suspected that the women
had aided in his uncle's murder.
or, at all events, had made no effort
to save his life. Many of them were
quite young, and the harem included
both French. italian and German girls,
According to the orders Of this Zero
cious barbarian, each one was tied up in
in q sack, and the next morning at day
break they embarked in barges
from the quays of the seraglios, and
were taken by the eunuchs to the place
appointed, when they were successfully
thrown into the. sea. Their screams
were heard miles away, and some not
only got out of the sacks, but threw
themselves into the water and endea-
vored to swim to the shore. They were
overtaken by the guards. and were kill.
ed either by being run down or being
beaten on tho head with the heavy oars.

Fruit Pies.

In the wide domain of cookery there
is probably no one thing that can be
made either so perfectly delicious or so
utterly abominable as fruit pie. We
shall not dwell on the sloppy or pasty
compounds called currant or cherry pie.

The currants should all be equally

tablespoonful of good molasses may be
used. Use good brown sugar, but not

You will not need single drop of
water. Bake slowly about three,quar-
tiers of an hour. When done it should

is impossible to tell how much sugar
and flour to use, as dishes are of all
sizes and fruit of all degrees of sour
ness. 1t is always best to be on the
safe side and not have it too sweet.
From one to two tablespoonfuls of flour
will be sufficient. Make gooseberry
pies in the same way. Always stone
cherries for pie, and, if possible, use
the black ard sour Dutch cherry in
equal quantities. This combination
makes the richest pie.

A Mules Reserved Power.

This mule looked like he was 13S
years old, and was dead standing upon
his feet. He was hitched to pine
bodied spring wagon, with high dash.
board. The "team" was standing on
the levee in mute silence, while the old
darkey who driv it went aboard the
wharfboat. A tramp could make bar
rel of money selling pictures of that
mule, labelled "patience. His long,
fabby ears hung down each side of his
head like window awnings with the
rods out of them. His face wore So
Der look, while out of his mouth hung
tongue eight inches long. His tail
swung down from the rear end of his
hurricane roof like a wet rope, while
his whole body seemed as motionless
as death itself. Presently o red-haired
urchin, with an old boot in his hand,
walked up in front of him, and, looking
into his face, saw that the mule was
asleep.
He walked around, climbed up into
that wagon, leaned over the dashboard,
lifted that mules tail. and let it come
down in time to catch death-grip on
that bootleg. That mule woke up so
quick that he kicked the boy and the
dashboard twenty feet into the air,
He didn't stop there. He changed the
position Of his ears, hauled in his ton
que, planted his fore feet, and his head
between his knees, and from the fore
shoulders to the tip of his trunk was
in lively motion, and he didn't look
like he was more than two years old,
the way he was kicking that wagon
body into kindling wood with his heels.
He had it all to himself, and was doing
fine, when tire old darkey rushed up
the hill, got in front of him, and grab
bling him by the ear, shouted, "Whoa!

crowd, yelled, "Will some oyer gem

PERE HYACINTHE.
The Views OF M. LOysOn ON Marri

"Pere Hyacinthe," in letter to Mr..
w. Forbes, of Edinburgh, defends his
conduct in having married while priest
of the Roman Catholic church. M. 10y
son says: al believe, with a holy-mind-
ed Roman Bishop who advised me to
marry, that "marriage is the first sacra-
ment established by God among men,
and upon which the priesthood itself was
founded, and that any hindrance placed
thereon is of Satan" As to what you
say in regard to my marriage being a
hindrance to my work in France, must
tell you that this is mistake, for, with
out the least doubt, the great majority of
Catholics not only approve of married
clergy, but, as in my case, take it as the
only real guarantee Of thorough re-
form; and l am convinced that the ma
jority of priests are with me-some OPEN
ly, but the greater number, alas! think
only in private what they dare not yet
put into language. ! know very well
that there exists a certain worldly and
not uninfluential class among the clergy
as well as in society, who, in the Ian
guage of our lamented Mgr. Darboy,
"put their Immortality under the pro-
lection of their Ultramontanism." Those
are they who cry loudest against me /;
and also know that there are sO-called
distinguished and delicate minds, who,
as M. Guizot said, deny God, but believe
in the celibacy of the priests. In view
of general reform, the initiative of
which, thank God, is so encouraging, it
seems very impracticable to enjoin upon
those who have made VOWS to first be re-
leased from them by Rome before pro-
testing against her. Aside from all per-
sonal considerations, | am convinced
that the assertion of divine right in the
priest to marry is the directest and Sc
verest blow struck at Papal oppression
alike of the individual conscience and of
the collective body"

artistic Hollands, Queen Anne chintzes
and Pompadour satins and cambrics.
Among the colors seen in these fabrics
are china and peacock blues, rich olive
green, a coral pink and red brown, which
appear sometimes on a light ground in
groups of flowers, or on dark grounds
blended and designed in small or mixed
figures. Among specialties exhibited
