French Petty Employees,
agaZIne.

There is a peculiar French class, the
army of small government employees, who
discharge their infinitely Insignificant
but infinitely diversified functions
throughout the land. on salaries which
stretch between: f32 and the vast, envied
and rare imm ! ity of EGO. OF the
100000 civil wants required by the
complicated an inquisitorial admins
tration of Franc one-half, at least, ere
obliged by thei occupations to inhabit
the villages. The gardes ehanlpetres, the
forest keepers, the various toremen of
the national department ana communal
roads, the multitorm agents of the tax
collectors, the overlookers of navigation
on the rivers and canals, the inspt ctors,
surveyors and overseers of every possible
process, thing or deed that can any how
be Inspected, surveyed or overseen, and
crowds OF other diminutive officials with
line of gold or silver braid on their
kepts, are all, by the essentially local
nature of their calling, dwellers in the
country. How they manage to lodge,
nourish, clothe and educate their families
on an average pay of about ESQ a year
Is a mystery worthy to be classed among
the great enigmas of life; but they do
1t, and, furthermore, they constitute a
society. In certain villages, indeed,
their group composes recognized aris-
tocracy they are the great world of the
place; they possess the advantages of
rank the Sunday bonnets of their wives
and daughters arouse emotion among
cap-wearing spectators. And all this is
paid for by about twenty-five shillings a
week Very wonderful. But the
people of this curious category are rem
dered more remarkable still by a pecu-
liarity which is proper to themselves.
which saturates and permeates them by
an unimaginable servility to their
superiors, and by an equally unimSgin.
able arrogance to everybody else. They
cringe and they bully with skill which
is the most productive and the most
evident OF their professional endowments,
and which sets the beholder wondering
what hidden grace there can be in the
service of the French government to
develop so wonderful capacity of alter
nate obsequiousness and insolence in its
lower retaIners. 1t is all over France !;
it sprouts in every wearer of a gold
lace cap: but it is more striking in the
country than in the towns, for the
double reason that there is more space
fer it in the former than in the latter,
and that the people have more time to
contemplate it.

Language Of Finger-Rings.

In the case Of a gentleman wishing to
marry, literally I" in the market" with
his heart, he wears plain or chased gold
ring upon the first finger of the left or
heart hand. When success attends his
suit, and he is actually engaged, the ring
passes to the third finger. If, however,
the gentleman desires to tell the fair
ones that he not only is not Gin the
market" but that he does not design to
marry at all, he wears the signet upon
his little finger, and all the ladies may
understand that he is out of their reach.
With the lair sex |" the laws of the ring "
are: "A plain or gold ring on the little
finger OF The right hand implies not
engaged ; or in palmer words, ready for
proposals, sealed or Otherwise" When
engaged, the ring passes to the third fin
ger of the right hand. When married,
the third finger of the right hand
receives it. If the fair one proposes to
defy all seige to her heart, she places the
rings on her first and fourth fngers-one
on each-like two charms to keep away
the temper. 1t is somewhat singular that
this latter disposition of rings is rare.

The National COmRInint.

Dyspepsia is the national complaint. AL.
most every other man or woman you meet has
it, and the result is that the number of pseu-
do remedies forit IS as numerous as Pha.
raoh's host. They are for the most part worth>
less. There is, however, a searching eradcant
of this distressing and obdurate malady, one
whose genuine merits long since raised it to
foremost place among the staple medicines
of America. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters ex-
tirpates dyspepsia with greater certainty and
promptitude thsn any known remedy, aud ID
a most genial invigsra1t, appetizer and aid
to secretion. These are not empty assertions
as thousands Of our countrymen and women
who have experienced its effects are aware
but are backed up by irrefragable proofs re-
peatedly laid before the public. The Bitter,
also promote regular habis of body and give
a healthful stimulus to the urinary organs.

Founders Eyes.
From Nature.


In the late summer Of 1875 little
shoal of some fifteen quite transparent
founders were captured by Agassiz. on a
quiet and brilliant morning. oD the sur
face of the water at the mOo Ia OF the bar,
Dor of Newport. They were swimming
vertically, and violently rushing after
the minute entomUstraca which swarmed
on the surface. They were at once trans
ferred to shallow glass jars, in which they
would remain at the bottom on their right
sides, for hours immovable. When dis
turbed they were rapid in their move
ments, frequently jumping out OF the
water. When swimming vertically they
usually moved obliquely, the tail being
carried lower than the head. When one
of these was looked at in profile, its right
eve could be seen through the head,
slightly in advance and little above the
left eye; owing to the great transpar-
ency Of the body, the right eve was then
nearly as useful as If placed on the LEFT
side. Gradually it rose, until about six
DAYS it was well above the left eye
shortly after, wonderful to relate, 1t was
seen to sink into the tissues at the base
of the dorsal fin, between this and the
frontal slowly it sank, until the huge
orbit became reduced to mere circular
opening. Little by little this became
smaller and smaller, the eye pushed 1T
way deeper into the tissues, until an 40
ditional opening was formed on the ief
side. At this stage there were three or
bitsl openings, though of course but tw.
eyes. The original, or right oroitai
opening soon became closed, and tn
coloned side had its two eyes.

The Need Ofthe Stage.
Christian Union,

The reform of the stage, ifrefOrm there
is to be, must come from within, not
from without. To ask the Christian
community to attend che modern drama
as it is, in the expectation that a good
audience will make good play, is like
asking congregation To crowd an empty
church in order to make the pertunctOry
exhibitor OF theological anatomy an
eloquent teacher OF living truth; or re-
questing the inhabitants of Rome to
move out into the CaIpagna in order to
eradicate the malaria by living in the
midst OF it. The drama of the future, if
it is any better than the dra ma OF the
past, will be made so, not by attending
it as it IS to-day, nor yet by indiscriml-
mating Remuneration of it and all its
representatives as hopelessly and intrin=
sically bad, and certainly not by indis>
eliminating defense OF it, on the false
assertion that all professions are shops
for gain, but by its elevation through
the labors OF the Mscreadys, Miss Cusns
mans and Edwin Booths oil the stage,
and by public and hearty appreciation
of their difficult position and thankless
task The drama occupies to-day the
position that the novel occupied toward
the close of the last century. When
Fielding and Smollett were the classic
noveiists; when "Jack Sheppard " and
"Dick Turpin" were the great modern
romances, the novel was rightly placed
under the ban of all Christian house,
holds. Since Walter Scott, and Charles
Dickens, and William NJ. Thackeray, and
Georgel Eliot have proven that the
novel can be made medium OF moral
instruction, and Miss Mulock and Ed
ward Roe have demonstrated that it can
even be made a means of religious
inspiration, the bull of accommodation
has been taken of, and the reform novel
is everywhere welcomed. the drama
needs Walter Scott. At present there
is one Edwin Booth, one Mccullough,
one Jefferson; there are over hundred
travelling " combinations which carry
the modern drama of vulgar jokes and
indecent exhibitions into every town
large enough, to furnish a hail, from
Name to New Orleans, and from the
Hudson river towns to the canons Of
Colorado So long as these hucksters
of immoral gImcracks" are the sole
representatives of the modern theatre tc
the country district, so long it will Justly
lie under the reprobation OF all thoughts
tul people.

Germantown Telegraph.


There is q great difference of opinion
as to this question. Our own is that
the mole is harmless as rule sometime
it damages lawns and gardens in pursuit
OF its TODD, which usually is the earth
worm. If it should go through hill OF
corn and injure it by looseuing the root
lets, it is still in pursuit of the earth
worm which is in dry times found about
the roots of corn and other vegetables,
grass, &C., more sbundantly than else
where. So far as our observation extend
we have never known the mole TO eat
vegetable matter. 1t would seem to Be

this head here is something to the point
