A wasp's Strategy.

Mir. Seth Greens says one morning when he was watching spiders nest, a mad wasp alighted within an inch or two of the nest, on the side opposite the opening Creeping noiselessly around toward the entrance of the nest the wasp stopped a little short of it, and for moment re- mained perfectly quiet. Then reaching out one of his antenne, he wiggled it be- fore the opening and withdrew it. This overture had the desired effect, for the boss of the nest, as large spider as one ordinarily secs, came out to see what was wrong and to set it to rights. No sooner had the spider emerged to that point at which he was at worst disad- vantage. than the wasp with quick movement, thrust his sting into the body of his foe, killing him easily and almost instantly. The experiment was re- peated on ths part ofthe wasp, and when there was no response from the inside he became satisfied, probably, that he held the fort. At all events he proceeded to enter the nest and slaughter the young spiders, which were afterward lugged of one at a time.

From the Topeka Times, Kansas.

Coop PIECE OF WoRKMANsHIP.-Willi Armstrong residing in this city, has little son about seven years of age who was de- formed in his left foot at birth. The foot was turned in, and the weight of the body fell, in walking, upon the ankle joint. Last summer, Armstrong sent his wife, with the child, to the Kansas City Surgical Insti- tute for treament where they stopped for several weeks. The result is, that now, when the boy walks, no deformity can be discovered, and the bright little fellow seems to realize the great benefit derived fom a few weeks stay at the Surgical Insti- tute. The second trip was made T few days since and mother and son returned home to-day, the boy being entirely well and carries a crutch only as a precaution against making misstep. Mrs. Armstrong. pre- vious to the birth of this child, when as- cending pair of stairs, accidentally slipped and in falling her left foot was twisted in ward, and this is given as an explanation of the cause why the child was thus deformed.
 The Kansas City Surgical Institute has done neat piece of work in this instance, and it is entitled to commendation therefor. They advertise to cure and make straight almost any of the deformities that hu. man nature is subject to, and we doubt not but what their proficiency in correcting de. formities cannot be excelled.

Al Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescription Physician, and is acknowledged to be one of the most fortunate discoveries in Med cine. It quickly cures Coughs, Colds and all Lung troubles of the severest nature, removing, as it does the cause of tke alice ton and leaving the parts in a strong and healthy condition. It is not an expen- mental medicine, but has stood the test of years, giving satisfaction in every case, which its rapidly increasing sale every sea son confirms. Two million bottles sold an nually. Beware of medicines of similar names, lately introduced. Boschee's Ger man Syrup was introduced in the United States in 1868, and is now sold in every town and village in the civilized world.

Tho English Franking Privilege.

If. sFl lea -4H. f.s
 As to the question of the privileges of members, it maybe observed that one of them, now extinct, that of franking, dated from the commencement of the reign of Charles II. The house conferred the revenues of the post-office on the duke of York, or to put it more exactly. gave his royal highness a monopoly of the letter-carrying trade. At the same time they claimed that letters sent by members of either house should go free. One member spoke bitterly against this clause as "pitiful" and contemptible. Was he rich man? The privilege of franking was always highly esteemed and abused by patriots of all hues, with out the slightest sense of shame. Chief Justice Abbott, on being raised to the peerage, naturally received the congratu- lations of the bar. The new lord, 1Ten- terden, in returning thanks, observed, that no hinge to his elevation gave him greater pleasure than the privilege to be able to frank the letters of his friends of the legal profession. Members of the junior bar soon ayalede themselves of his lordship's kindness in way that grieved him much It was not the num- Der of the franks he minded, but the re- markable addresses to which the sigma ture "Tenderded" found itself appended. A few years later, Macaulay, giving his sister an account of how he spent ths day, mentions that he regularly devoted a portion of his time to franking letters. The system was at length abolished in 1S40, with the introduction of the penny post. America, however, (always full generation behind us in political pro- gress.) still allows her senators and rep to enjoy perfect immunity from the claims of the revenue in this respect EHaW fea

Who Buy Their Cofins in Advance and

 < As London Daily TeIegraph
 If we may believe the Princess Olga who has just published anamusing work on Russian life and manners, a lucrative branch of the Moscow undertakers busi- ness IS the repair and hire of collins. The dealings in these necessary articles are for the most part, in other European capitals, confined to one permanent and final transaction. But it twould appear that many of the wealthy Muskovite aaskohikl purchase their collins during their lifetime and keep them at home where they are used by careful house. wives as repositories for gr9ceries and other edible stores. The Russian rat however, has sweet tooth with which he industriously gnaws his way into these grim receptacles of sugar, raisens and spices, doing such damage to them in the course of his iorays that they are constantly in need of repair. The "hiring department" of the. establish ment above alluded to is chiefly suppor- ted by widows of ofmerchants and trades men, who thrifty house the mortal re- mains of their "dead ,departed' in the cheap deal collins, but hire for the fu- neral ceremony magnificent caskets in which the plain wooden boxes actually destined for interment are enclosed. At the churchyard gate. the accommodating undertaken takes back his splendid shell which has fulfilled its purpose by con ferring distinction upon the relict of its temporary occupant during its transport through the public streets, and the be- ceased inskolnik is consigned to the grave as inexpensively as is compatible with due homage to the opinion of the Russian Mrs. Grundy.

Good Hotels.

Hotel accommodations for travellers are of the greatest importance to persons who have to move about the ountry on busi- ness. "Just where to go" is what every man wants to know when he leaves home. The Grand Union Hotel, opposite Grand Central Depot, New York City, is n very popular resort, because the attendance there is prompt and satisfactory. The charges are reasonable and the p,eaage complete; try it. Families can live better for less money at the Grand Union Hotel than at any other first-class Hotel in the city.

The Richest Man.

T
 There was a time within the memory of men not yet old when the millionaires of this country could be counted, almost numbered on ones finger ends, but New York City to-day can probably boast of more milllonaires than the entire coun- try contained half century ago. Pro bably no city in the world outside of London or Paris can show as much pri- vate wealth as the city of New York. The WdU Street Ne,y presents some esti- mates of the riches accumulated by some of fortunes favorites on both sides of the Atlantic. The richest man in England at present is the Duke of West minister, whose income from London property alone is estimated at G400, ,000. His rural land estate yields some el00,- GOO. His total income from real and personal estate aggregates about S3, ,500, GOO. Great as is this income it does not come up to the income enjoyed by John Jacob Astor and William II. Vanderbilt, New York's chief millionaires.e The Astor fortune, at present real values, is estimated at not less than $100,000, ,000, while MT. Vanderbilts yearly income exceeds $5,000,0O0. The late Rothschild, of Paris, left fortune of 1,000,000,000 francs ($2O0,000, ,O00). It must, however, be remembered that the enormous wealth of the Rothschilds belong to diff ferent members of house firm, while William H. Vanderbilt is practically sole owner of the great property and vast estates bequeathed him by his father. Jay Gould now ranks high among New York millionaires. He is estimated at S25, 100000, and bids fair, if he lives 10 or 15 years longer, to double his present fortune. Taken all in all, Jay Gould is probably to-day the shrewdest railroad manager and boldest speculative opera tor in these United States. a8h
 Edward H. Green represents another great railroad fortune, estimated at over $20,000000. He is the chief owner of the great Louisville and Nashville com bination, and is said to practically con- trol the road. Henry Hilton can be safely put down at $20, 100000. Besides the well-known men of wealth at the head of the Knickerbocker families, all representing vast landed estates, there are great number of minor millionaires, worth from one to two millions, who live and die without attracting any particular attention, unless they have something besides money to signalize them. Cross ing the Atlantic again, Frankfort-on- the-Main. with population of 100000, is reputed to be the richest city of it's size in the world. It is asserted that there are 100 Franktorters worth from $4,000,0O0 to $5,000000 each, and 250 who are worth $l,000,000 and upward. The city is one of the great banking centers of the globe. Its aggregate banking capital is estimated at $200,- GOO, ,000-more than one-fourth of which the Rothschilds, whose original and parent house is there, own and control.

A Romance of the seashore.

Though the bathing season in Calves
ton harbor ends as early as October /, a
party of men and women went out by
steamer to an island in the gulf on the
evening of October %, last year, for the
purpose of testing the salt water.--
Among the ladies was Mrs. B. H. Davis,
the wife of Major Davis, of the town of
Bryan. Mrs. Davis and her sister, Mrs.
N. b. Davis, were left by their hus-
bands in charge of M. w. McGraw,
who was from Bryan also. After an
enjoyable bath, and when the time for
Mrs. B. III. Davis was missing. Her
sister had seen her up to her chin in the
water shortly before, and the news soon
became noised about that the lady was
drowned The affair caused much ex-
element throughout the night, and on
the following day it was talked about in
every house in Galveston. A large
reward was offered for the recovery of
the body, and long search, by means
of boats and seines was made. A week
passed, and as no clue to the mystery
could be found, Mrs. Davis was given
up as dead. But few weeks ago, seven
months having elapsed, Major Davis
received a letter from his wife, who had
landed in New York, after seemingly
endless cruise in merchant vessel, by
which she had been picked up. She
had gone beyond her depth while bath
ing, and had fioated with the tide for an
hour, when her means attracted the
attention of the vessel as it passed out
of Galveston harbor bound for Brazil
ian port.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

NEW YORK CITY is at this time
IN excited by very strange case, and
one that brings sad trouble to well
known wealthy family. The father is
well known on Wall street, and is u
fine, portly-looking man. The mother,
an elegant, refined woman, has not lost
all traces of the beauty that made her a
belle thirty years ago, but can still boast
pair of handsome black eyes, dark
wavy hair, almost untouched by silver,
and a stately figure.
The daughter, Juliet, seems to have
inherited her loveliness, for though no
actual resemblance in features exists,
the same great black eyes, the ripping
tresses and fine figure are noticed.
About year ago, she was welded to
one of the leading young men of Brook
lyn, and the match was universally
pronounced an admirable one. The
marriage came of with great ecIat. Then
came the farewell, the tour to Europe,
and finally the return to the beautifully
dppOluLtu uOIlc Ill DIOOAlyA, WAClG,
surrounded by all that taste and wealth
can command, the young couple began
life in earnest. The first and supremely
happy year of their married life had
almost passed away, when on one bright
day there was ushered into the world a
tiny stranger.
The pride of young father was for
gotten for a time in the anxious husband,
but when feeble wall reminded him OF
the new relationship, he delightedly
asked to see his child. The family
physician, notwithstanding the fact
that his patient was doing favorably,
looked unusual grave, and replied that
the little one was better left undisturbed
for few days, and must especially be
kept from bright light, as its eyes
seemed delicate; SO peep at the little
one as 1t lay shrouded in flannel in a
very dark room was all that the father
gained, and when the impatient young
