Nothing like the drum to bring out the
population to stare at regiment on

have prevailed are that in actual ser.
vice the drum is not heard so far as the
bugle; is not so well adapted to con.

that the heavily-lsden drummer can
not carry rifle. which the bugler

Whisky and Charity.

Two notices, framed, glazed and sus-
pended upon the walls Of a dramshop
on the New canal, at st. Petersburg,
close to Nine Sassetzki's Refuge for
the Homeless" are reckoned among the
curiosities of the Russian capital. They
run as follows: II exhort the gentlemen
who honor my establishment with their
patronage toforego robbery and theft
while within its precincts, not to thrash
one another, and, on the whole, not to
make unpleasant noises. Those who
act in contravention to this warning will
receive punishment in my dramshop of
a sort they will experience no difficulty
in feeling" The second notice affords
a quaint contrast to the first . As soon
as the cold and rainy weather shall set
in, five copecks will be here advanced
to each needy and weary man, that he
may pay for q bed whereon to rest his
body" The author Of these notices
faithfully adheres to the text of both.
IF his customers misconduct themselves
he lays into them with q cudgel; but
any poor wretch presenting himself
after in the evening for assistance re-
ceiyes the five copecks after he has ex-
hibited his legitimation papers and lis
tened to short exhortation, read aloud
to him from religious book.

The Derivation OF the Word sssney

The dcrlvatiols Of the words relating
to money and com ncrcc are Interesting
and Instructive. "Pecuni.Gy tahe5 us

reckoned by SO many heaS Of c..ttl.
The word money" is from 7,onota, be
cause in Rome coins were first rcgu-
larly struck in the temple of Juno
Moneta, which again was derived from
monere, to warn, because it was built
on the spot where Manlius heard the
Gauls approaching to the attack on tho
city Coin" is probably from the
Latin cuneus: a die Or stamp. Many
coins are merely SO called from their
weight, as, for instance, our pound, the
French ivre, and the italian Ira; 9th
ers from the metal, as the "aurcns;;"
the rupee" from the Sanskrit cru
pyra, silver; others from the design,
as the angel, the testoon, from teste or
tete, head; others from the head of
the state, as the sovereign, crown; 9TH
ers from the proper name of the mon
ach, such as the daric, from Darius, the
Philip, Louis dor, or the Napoleon.
The dollar. Or thaler, is short for the
Joachimstaler, or money Of the Joa-
chims valley, in Bohemia, where these
coins were first struck in the sixteenth
century. Guineas were called after the
country from which the gold was OBJ
tanned, and the franc" is an abbrevia-
ton of the inscription Francorum Rex.
The ." sou " is from the Latin solidns.
The word shilling seems to be derived
from root signifying to divide; and
in several cases the name indicates
the fraction of some larger coin, as the
denarius, half-penny, farthing, cent and
mill. The pound was originally not a
coin, but weight, and comes from the
Latin pondus. Our pound originally
was pound of silver, which was d.
vided into 240 pennies. The origin of
the word penny is unknown. Some
have derived it from pendo, to weigh;
but this does not seem very satisfactory.
| Our word sterling" is said to 20 back
to the time of the conquest, but the
| derivation has been much disputed.
Some have supposed that it was first
attributed to coins struck at Stirling,
but for this there is not the slightest
evidence; others, that the name was
derived from coins having star on the
diverse, but no coins which could have
given rise to such name are known.
The most probable suggestion is that it
has reference to the Easterling or North
German merchants.-English maga-

Why Gambetta Broke his Engage

Gambetta is bachelor; but he has
not lived SO long without having at least
contemplated marriage. The story of

us fresh glimpse of his character
From the time of his leaving his humble
home at Cahors, till his rise to the high.

lived with faithful, loving, aunt, who
had followed him to Paris, and who
madeevcry where he went a pleasant
home for him. She was az once his maid
of-ail-work and his congenial companion :;
and he was as deeply attached to her as
she was to him. His engagement to a
handsome and accomplished girl with a
dot of 81 ,000, 900 was a shock to the good
aunt, but she yielded gracefully to the
inevitable. When the arrangements for
the marriage were being discussed. how

In winter, from what can learn, the
storms are mostly rain, at temperature
OF IS or 40 degrees, and strong winds,
which, when they sweep the channels
7lengthwise, lash them into waves, and
carry the salt scud far into the woods
Thelong nights are then gloomy enough
to most people, and the value of snug
home, with blazing, cracking, yellow
cedar fire, and book-covered tables,
may be finely appreciated. Snow falls
quite frequently, but never to any great
depth, Or to lie long. Only once, since
the settlement of Fort Wrangel, the
ground was covered to the depth of
four feet. The ordinary depth any
where near sea-level is said to be
sloppy condition. The mercury seldom
falls moro than 5 or degrees below
the freezing point, unless the wind
blows steadily from the mainland. Back
from the coast, however, beyond the
mountains. the winter months are in
tensely cold. At Glenora, on the
Stickene river, less than 1000 feet
above the levelof the sea, temperature
OF from 30 to 40 degrees below zero is
not uncommon. = %,-.t-A

Paris editors take their professional

OF an editors business to show. himself
everywhere in q certain seciety-to at
tend the receptions Of the Ministers or
Opposition leaders, as the case may be,
and to drop in, besides, at the unofficial
reunions where his political friends are
in the habit Of rallying. He has proba-
bly, a liking for society for its OWN sake,
and it is at once his pleasure and his
duty to feel the pulse Of society for
himself, in place Of trusting, like his
English confrere,5 to the secondhand
of aintimates who are mixing
il the world. at anyrate Thenhe need
never have the sense Of working at high
pressure. Far more often than not he
writes on the domestic subjects which
are alwayBin his mind; and, when he
has occasion to treat some question of
foreign policy, he does SO deliberately,
after ripe consideration. The minor
contents Of his meager sheet demand
comparatively little supervision, and
that little may be confded to intelli-
gent subordinates. With the exception
of the Temps, there are few Partisan
papers that take any great trouble
about their foreign correspondence, and
the sum total Of the mechanical labor
must, OF course, be proportionately

Victor kEuEro on FessiMISui.

In Scribner's Monthly, Mr.. Fl. H.
Boyesen gave an account of "Two
Visits to Victor Hugo" In the course
Of conversation Hugo said that the the
::terof events in the twentieth century
would be Africa, and added that all the
other races are inevitably approaching
the type of the white race, and aUiH all
IN the end be achlte! This, however,
was not the readers only surprise, as
will be seen from this extract:
We have among us, too" l said,
an old and wise man who takes the
same hopeful view of the future as you
do; I mean Mr.. Emerson. When pa
triotic men become discouraged at the
fragrant abuse Of our free institutions
which they have daily to witness-whcn
vulgar mediocrity and selfish ignorance
seem triumphant, and culture, talent
and purity are trodden in the dust
then there is sore need Of a strong and
cheerful voice to tell us that this is but
passing crisis, from which we shall
emerge the stronger and better for our
very knowledge of evil. THIS is the
gospel Mr.. Emerson breaches at all crit
cal times"
"Mr. Emerson" said Victor Hugo,
giving the name a decidedly French
cut. "Who is he? I never heard of
him."
I gave brief sketch of MIR. Emer-
sons life, and dwelt especially upon
the profundity of his thought and his
large ideal vision.
II am glad" resumed our host when
I had finished, "that you have such
men in America. They are needed
everywhere; but they are rare. The
wise man is never 8 pessimist. A pessi-
mist is q narrow-hearted, narrow
Drained man, with contracted mental
horizon, who allows himself to get
frightened at the first severe squat, and
imagines the ship of state will founder.
[ challenge any of these shallow gentle
men, who are always seeing a catastro-
phe ahead and prophesying disaster
and ruin-I challenge them to tell me
whether they can point to a single
historic period which has not, in its
totality, been a great advance upon its
predecessors. am sure they cannot.
1t is mighty impulse which drives the
world onward, and, in spite of traitors
and bribe-takers and conquering and
crowned criminals, it will move onward
and ever onward toward higher and
better states. I see in the twentieth
century the sure and inevitable aboli-
ton of the great evils which now perplex
us; new problems, growing out of
still moro complex civilization, will
then arise, and new ages will solve
them"
He here turned with friendly nod
toward me, put his hand on my knee,
and said:
"Keep that in mind, sir. Do not for
get it."
"You evidently take me to be pessi-
mist" remarked, smiling.
"You betrayed your sympathy with
the pessimists," he replied, gravely,
'aud they are not deserving of SYM
pathy. They are pitiable objects, these
whimpering cynics, who imagine that
the universe is out OF joint because they
have an impaired digestion. Nor have
I any patience with those superior
critics who, for fear of soiling their
dainty hands, shirk their duties as men
and citizens"
