Reserved Seats.

In travelling, one meets with many
selfish people; among them countless
women who insist on monopolizing two
seats in a railway car under the pre-
tense that one Of them is engaged by an
attendant gentleman, supposedly in the
smoking-ca car for brief interval. We
saw two women Of this sort rightly
served during a summer trip. For fifty
miles they succeeded in warding off
travellers who sought the shady side of
the car, and the seat In front of them
was the convenient receptacle of their
baggage. Finally, however, an uncouth-
looking individual quickly removed the
baggage and turned the seat The
astonished ladies paused in their con-
versation to each other and raised their
hands as if in remonstrance, but twas
too late the thing was quietly and
quickly accomplished, and the two for
elgners who were seated there seemed
to understand no words or gestures.
Public opinion, in that car, at least,
sided with them. On another occasion,
when our party entered car, not seat
was available. One person was guard
ing four, others one and two; the aisle
was uncomfortably crowded. NThis
way, said the conductor, ssroom in the
palace car for those who are standing. !"
The engaged seats were at a discount
(plenty of room now, but the conductor
insisted that they should be retained by
their occupants, and all were made com

Kemble said he sent dispatch to M, s. Quay on Friday, telling him that he would be in Har- risburg on Monday to enter new bail. He also wrote to his lawyers to the same effect. He said that the newspaper reports to his intended flight were all false. He could prove by dispatches sent that he was on his way voluntarily. He knew nothing Of the visit of Petroff, Salter, Rumberger, and Crawford. His business and the precarious condition of his wifes health prevented him from getting here sooner. He never acted secretly nor with desire to con ceal his identity. He would be here on the 26th instant, If alive, to accept sentence Witnesses were called to prove Mir.

 RussO-Chinese Controversy.
 sT. PETERSBURG, April 13.-The Agence Russe this morning contradicts the rumo, which has been in circulation for some days past that three Empsrors, Alexander of Rus sia, William of Germany and Francis Joseph Of Austria, were soon to meet and hold con- sultation over the affairs of Europe. It de- clares that it has authority for stating that no such steps have been contemplated. The same paper further says that the IuroomRn raids will not be permitted to go unpunished by the Russian Government, although no definite plan of action hss yet bsen settled upon.
 The Golos publishes a letter from Professor Martens, which undoubtedly has semi off : clal character, regarding the Russo-Chinese difficulty. The writer says that Russia will only restore Kuldja if approached in friend ly spirit and will certainly not yield to threats of force. He says the present trouble is the result of the predominance of, ,the anti Euro pean party at the court of Pekin that if WAT ensues the Europeans in China will be in danger of massacre that all the foreign rep resentatives at Pekln recognize the danger and are opposing the anti-Europeau party and are supporting the Russian claims.
