A SorroMfnl Case.

We clip the following from the Chi
cago Hter Ocean; "The suicide oil
Martin Arndt, at the Douglas monu
ment Sunday night, revealed one Of tee
saddest eases of misfortune and. dis
couragement often brought before the
public eye His business was pressing
linen coats, and, by working ten hours
and walking five miles each day, Arndt
could make $3.50 per week. He sup
ported family on this pittance, and
finally, in a moment of supreme assuf-
ance, had the temerity to ask for half a
cent per garment more than he had
been receiving. This request was
granted for one lot, but Immediately
afterward another man offered to do the
work at the old price, and Arndt was
thereupon discharged. He tried to get
employment elsewhere, but could not
and, believing if he died. even by his
own hand, that his family would receive
several hundred dollars from a society
to which he belonged, he blew out his
brains. 1t is rarely that more sorrow
full case is presented, and it suggests, nay
compels, the reflection whether there is
not something radically wrong in
system that produces such tragedies.
Let those who are in the habit of spend
ing tens and hundreds of dollars for the
simplest pleasures think for moment
Of this poor workman-hones sober,
ndustrious-who struggles on month
after month, and who finally comes to
the conclusion that there is no room for
him on this earth, because he loses
place worth less than So week to him
We are all accustomed to rail at fortune
more or less, and bemoan the lack OF
riches, but how all idle complaints are
hushed into silence for very shame be-
fore this spectacle. How many more
such cases are there in Chicago to-dsy?r

In the Sewers.

IN the famous sewers of Paris, the
travelling conyeniences are superior to
many above ground. The hand-cars
for passengers are neatly made and
furnished with cane seats. You may
sit as in an Irish iaunting- car, facing
either side. OF the two other seats,
one f>ces front, the other rear. Each
car or truck has four lamps. The pro-
pelling power is men, four to truck.
They roll directly over the sewer, the
rails being laid on either side. The
sewer in some places equals a good
sized mining ditch in dimension, with a
pretty rapid current. Icannot give the
depth of water. I had no ambition to
take soundings. One investigating
passenger tried it with his cane, but
found no bottom. After that 1 was
afraid of bis cane. The air throughout
averaged a good, strong smell. The
men smoked. The ladies held per-
fumed handkerchiefs to their noses.
Many ladies visit the sewers. It is con-
sidered entirely the correct thing" to
do. At the Place de la Concorde we
left the cars and took the gondolas.
Ihe sewers and stream are mere much
wider. Each gondola will held about
twenty persons. Our feet numbered
about five or six gondolas. Each one
carried a large globular lantern. So we
sailed in the dim, dark passage. Save
an occasional stationary light, it was
dark ahead, dark behind, dark below,
damp and obscure above. The barges
rockeda little, but not agreeably. The
motion was not exciting. 1t seemed
like that which might come on sea Of
molasses in slight agitation. An hour
and quarter in the sewers of Paris is
enough. You can always recollect the
taste and smell afterward When we
emerged from the artificial bowels of
Paris to the earth we doubly appreciated
sir and sunlight, and had no inclination
to repeat our experiment..

churches. She was deeply panied by
the revelation. She sent for her lover
and endeavored to convince him Of his
error, but he was not satisfied with her
arguments. She finally wrote to him
tear-stained letter bidding him good-by
forever The lady mourned, but tried
TO satisfy herself that she had acted
correctly. Two years made her more
liberal than she had been. The more
she read the more she distrusted her
former decision, and she finally became
quite as liberal as the lover she had dis
carded. The lover, too, had undergone
a change. Last winter revival of re-
igion took place in the city in which
he was engaged in business. Suffice it
to say that he united with the church.
and ina short time became jealous
member He thought over the action
of his former sweetheart in discarding
him for his infdehty, and wrote her a
brief note asking the privilege Of once
more calling on her. When she timidly
apoIogized for her previous dismissal
of him, he, to her surprise, defended
her conduct, said she had been in the
right, and in her place he would do the
same. Her heart sank at these words.
She confessed the great change in her
sentiments; from being firm believer
in the Bible, she had discarded it, and
with it her belief in any revealed re-
igion. He pleaded with her, urged
everything he could think Of to induce
her to change her mind. She could
not, and told him so. He felt that he
must not be yoked with an unbeliever,
and gave her up.

Women in Russia.

A st. Petersburg contributor to the
Contemporary ReUielc says: The
idealization of woman, and the type of
devoted and submissive love on the part
of man, were equally unknown in Mus
eovy until Peter the Great forcibly
opened the terems, or private apart
ments of the women, where they were
kept in something like Oriental confne-
ment. The ancient Slavs considered
woman a malign being, an incarnation
of the evil spirit, that could not be suf-
fciently guarded against. The Tartars,
under whose dominion Russia lay for
so many centuries, saw in her but an in
ferior being, the instrument of their
pleasures; and these ideas could not but
exercise an influence on her fate. The
reform abruptly introduced in private
and social life by Peter the Great, and
the civil rights granted to women by his
daughter, the Empress Elizabeth, were
powerless in restoring the prestige
which history had deprived them Of.
Woman in Russia has succeeded in OBJ
tanning degree of liberty and equality
unknown to her sisters in Europe, and
met with at present only in America !;
she has played distinguished part in
science and art, and has laid claim to
entire emancipation; but, notwithstand
ing all these modern triumphs, she has
never been able to reconquer the halo
with which chivalry had surmounted
her brow in other lands, and, while
treated by man as his equal and com
panion, she has never been the object
of his homage. This peculiar feature
in her destiny became naturally reflect
ed in the novel, and it has been fre-
quently noticed that in it love occupies
but secondary place, and that the fa-
vorite heroines of our authors are but
rarely sympathetic characters"

The Condition of Women.

The ages OF animal passions, of mus
cular supremacy, of conflict with wild
animals, of barbarian wars-in short,
the ages of physical prowess, wnen the
only ordeal was one of muscle-belong
indisputably to man. The subseryiency
of woman was one Of the conditions of
progress in those rude phases of human
existence. But it does not follow that
this will always be the case. It is a
generally recognized principle that the
stepping stones OF one generation are
likely to become the st1mbling-b blocks
OF succeeding one; and Mr.. Spencer
even uses the argument of presump
tive evidence against opinions which
have arisen in barbarous age. Legouve
says: "The protracted subiection of
women proves but one thing, that the
world so far has had more need of the
dominant qualities of man, and that her
hour has not yet come We have no
reason to conclude from this fact that it
will not come" And he fortiies his
position with the following striking illus
tration: "How many centuries did it
take to produce this simple maxim of
common sense: 'All men are equal
before the law?' The tardy advent Of
an idea, so far from proving its
uselessness and fallacy, is often
an argument in favor of its
grandeur. The principles of liberty,
charity, fraternity are all modern prin-
ciples." 1t remains for these principles
to become still further lnodernized by
their extension to women as part Of
the human family. Their co-existence,
with certain curious "survivals from
the ages of muscle, supplies striking
example of the remarkable tolerance of
the average human mind for incongru-
GUS ideas, provided these ideas have
been associated for sufficient length OF
time. In England, until the reign of
William and Mary, women were refused
Henry VIII. an English Parliament
prohibited the reading of the New Tes-
lament in English by women and others
of low estate. The male Mohammedan
to-day Indignantly rejects the idea that
his female companion, as well as him
self, may have soul. Among the Hin
docs, women are still excluded from the
advantages Of reading and writing, and,
with few exceptions, the higher insti-
tutions of learning are everywhere still
monopolized by the more muscular sex.
That these facts gathered from widely
separated ages and countries harmon
ize in spirit and principle. thus reveal
ing common origin, scarcely needs to
be pointed out; the laws Of heredity
and descent are therein conspicuously
illustrated; and, as between men and
women, the age OF muscle still exists.

How Franklin Was Cured.

Somebody has brought out the fol-
lowing interesting reminiscence When
Benjamin Franklin was lad he began
to study philosophy, and soon became
fond of applying technical names to
common objects. One evening, when
he had mentioned to his father that he
had swallowed some acephalous mol
lusks, the old man was much alarmed,
and, suddenly seizing him, called loud
ly for help. Mrs. Franklin came with
warm water, and the old man rushed
in with the garden pump. They forced
half gallon down Benjamin's throat,
then held him by the heels over the
edge of the porch, and shook him, while
the old man said, IF we don't get them
things out of Benny he will be pizened
surel' When they were out, and Ben
jamin explained that the articles re-
ferred to we're oysters, his father fondles
him for all hour with a trunk-strap fot
soaring the family. Ever afterward
Eranklin's language was marvelcusly
simple and explicit.
