JerolaI AID His Wife.

Prince Jerome, The present head of
the House of Boaaparte, has announced
that his wife the Princess Clothilde,
sister of King Httmbert, of Italy, hes
consented to live with him once more.
This announcement must be taken with
a good deal OF salt. Prince Jerome ia
clever enough to set in circulation such
d story, knowing very well that 1t will
prop his crumbling fortunes as leader of
the Imperial cause, and as it is not likely
to be cOntradjCted officially, its truth IS
Il matter of Sc iondary Importance. But
there afe q good many strong reasons
why the story should not be true. From
first to last the Princess has hated the
Prince very cord ally. They were mar
ried because Napoleon II! declared that
unless the marriage took place Italy, in
her struggle for liberty and union, could
have no assistance from France. The
Princess had set het affections - so far as
a Princess properly might set her attec-
tiOns upon the gallant young Due de
Chartres. Naturally, she did not wish
to marry Prince Jerome: Count CavOur
Uvercame her objections by pointing out
TO her that to yield was patriotic duty
so she yielded. The marriage took
place January 80, 1859. The. poor
Princess has had very miserable time
Of it. Her husband treated her always
with a commcndable courtesy, but the
number of his lady friends really, was
beyond any wOman's endurance. 1t was
hoped that the baby would prove bond
Of union between husband and wife-as
frequently Is the case when less exalted
couples are at Udds-bdt though the
baby CAME (the little Prince Victor
Jerome Frederic, born July IS, 1862,
harmony did not come with him. Two
moro babies, Louis Joseph Jerome, born
July 16, 1864, and Letitia, born Decem-
Der 20, 1866, were equally unsuccessful
as harmonizers. Indeed things went on
from bad to worse until a separation in
fact though not in name, brought to the
husband ease and to the wife peace.
After the fal of the Empire there was
an attempt at reconciliation. But it
was not a success. The Princess re 'urned
to her husbands house, but as the first
object that met her eyes was strikingly
life-like portrait of her chief rival, the
Marquise de c., she ordered her
trunks back TO the carriage and set out at
once for Italy. Shortly after there was
a separation in form. AS the Prince
still is very much the sort of Prince that
ne has always been, it is asking a good
deal of a cOnfiding public to believe that
his present story about reconciliation
is strue.-PhiJddelDhi Times.

The Innocent Schoolmaster.

Barnes MOulnlN
He doesn't know very much. He can
ask the questions laid down in his text
book, and cati determine with good de-
gree Of accuracy whether the answers
are repeated correctly: He carries a
pen over his ear, a stick in his right
hand, and a book in his pocket. Hd
considers it of more Importance to secure
obedience and submission than intel
lectual discipline.
He frequently says: "Learn your
lessonl If you ask any questions you
shall be put1ishedi It is not for you to
know the reason why! Wiser heads
than yours or mine have written these
books; and it is your duty to learn what
Is written, and mine to make you do it!
Studyp
He requires absolute, unquestioning
submission. He neither thinks for him
self, nor permits his pupils to do so. He
believes his books, and follows his nose.
He is the sworn enemy of normal schools,
teachers institutes; ahd universal free
education. With new textbooks he has
no patience, and takes no special interest
in new inventions; in fact, he rather
more than half believes that Edison is
humbug. He daily puts on the skull
cap of his own ignorance, and lives in
the foggy atmosphere of his favorite
pipe, and one of these days he will wrap
the drapery of his snug-stained garments
about him and lie down unhonored, UNI
Wept, and unremembcred.
The above is no ideal sketch. We
have many such teachers yet lingering
in the valleys of our dark corners. 1t is
only by persistent efforts that they can
be driven from the teachers ranks into
the darkness of obscuritY.

The Jews OF Russia,

The Odessa correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes as follows: "State-
ments of various kinds now appear in
the Russian and foreign newspapers rs
TO the part taken by the Hebrew sub
jects of the Gar in the plOttings cf the
extreme section of the Nihilists. AS in
most instances only theories have been
prOpounded hitherto, few facts are
here offered. In the north of Russia,
where Jews, as rule, are not permitted
to reside, few in that part have been
compromised, but here in the south,
which is Overrun by them, they have
furnished rather a large percentage Of
those, at any rate, who have been
brought to trial. For example, out of
twenty-eight Nihilists tried together at
Odessa, last summer, eight were Jews,
and out of five of the whole number
who were hanged, one was a Jew. Out
of six NihiIist tried also at Odessa last
December, two were Jews, and of the
three that were executed on that occa-
sion, one was Jew. Besides that, the
chief of the band, Laiba DeUtsch, was
also a Jew He escaped at the time,
but afterward blew his brains out at St.
Petersburg upo- the occasion of the
police discovering the secret printing
Office directed by him, in which was
printed the WI Of the People newepa-
per. Of the seventeen Nihilists con
demned here fortnight ago, six we're
Jews, and in this instance, again, the
principal leader, Isaiah Fuchs, was also
Jew, and he, too, managed to escape.
Altogether, eighteen Nihilists have been
executed at Kief, and of these two were
Jews, and of the three hanged at St.
Petersburg, one was a Jew Report
makes out Hartman to be of Jewish
origin, and some people believe the same
of the DR.. Welmar, whose trial is ex-
pected to take place at St. Petersburg
shortly. 1t is only fair, however, to re,
mark that all these Jewish would be
pie of humble origin, without means and
of no position in life to speak of; cor
seauently, they had nothing to lose, and
might have gained something in the
event of revolution. You lately pre-
sented your readers with some statistics
from the Bereg in reference to the num-
Der and status of Nihilists. The Nou0ya
Premyn has supplemented them with the
following statement: Twenty-six per
cent. of the Nihilists have the rank of
gentlemen, 10 per cent. are sons of
priests, 13 per cent. are peasants (among
these are included those members of the
nob1esse whose nihilistic principles have
led them to enroll themselves as peas
ants), 9per cent. are petty shOpkeepers,
per cent. are Jews (?), 8 per cent are
of the merchant class, and l per cent
soldiers; % per cent. are unaccounted
for, but then, no mention is made of
workingmen, and, besides, these num-
bers are believed to be only approxima-
tive"

Silent Wnnnnii

One of the prominent citizens of a
suburb of Chicago promised a ladies
sewing society a certain sum of money
for their treasury if they could meet for
one afternoon, each with her own indi-
vidua1 work and, attending strictly to
business, refrain from speaking one
word during the time allotted to society
work. The great effort was made with
success, showing what perseverance and
witl-power can do in this rough world.
The local paper says: Though the CHS
and groans were many and heartrending,
the laughter grew quite dangerous;
though at times the quiet was quite
funeral, again the click of knitting
needles, the rustic of the fancy work
or the winding of yarn would make it
quite lively. Only the tongues were
still. Though some were forced to liter
ally place marble in their mouths,
though strips of court-plaster were on
hand, though the bottle of mueilage was
several times passed around taking
them altogether, nothing of the kind
was required, save the wori and the will
of the ladies, who had pledged them
selves to earn, in that way, the requisite
amount for their treasury.

How English Lawyers are Paid.

The British Government places high
value on the services of lawyers in the
Cabinet, and pays them more hand
somelv than the other members. The
Lord Chancellor, the Attorney General
and the Solicitor General each has a
higher salary than the Prime Minister
or the Secretaries The Lord Chancellor
receives $4,000 a year; the Attorney
General $4,000, and the Solicitor Gen
eral S35, 900, while the Premier is paid
$25, 900 yearly, which is also the salary
of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. and
ard the Home, the Foreign, the Indian
the Colonial, and the War Secretaries,
The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland receive.
100000 per annum, and the LORD
Chancellor of Ireland $4,000. Judges
are also paid very large salaries in Enz :
land, that of the Lord Chief Justice be-
ing $4,000, while the ordinary Justicei
of the Court Of Appeal and of the HiSh
Court of Justice get $25, 900 a year,eacF.
No public law officer of the Unite
States is paid anything like the amOunt'
above named. The Chief Justice of th-
United States receives S10,50 a year,
which is $500 year more than is given
to each of the Associate Justices. The
salary of the Attorney General of the
United States is $4,000. Some of the
New York Judges are better paid than
the members of the United States Su
preme Curt, but their salaries are
vastly below those of the English
Judges.

Tie Mnddest Woman.


Probably there have been madder
women than this one was, but we have
never seen one near as mad as she seemed
to be. She was going along down street
on Thursday when it was raining, and
she had an umbrella, two packages In
yellow paper, and shopping bag. On
Biddle street there was place where
the sidewalk had been torn up to allow
builders to haul out clay for a cellar.
The workingmen had gone somewhere
out of the rain, and nobody had thought
to put down any loose boards. The
clay was fresh and sticky, and about
four inches deep. she hesitated and
looked back as though she thought 1t
would be wise to go back block and go
around the mud, but finally concluded
to 90 through it. Putting her packages
under her arms, and holding the UNI
brella firmly, she stepped both feet into
the clay. That was easy enough, but
when she undertook to remove one foot
the rubber shoe came off She began to
look mad then, but she was not half as
mad as she got to be in a couple of
minutes. She tried to get her foot back
into the rubber as it stuck in the mud,
and came near tipping over trying to
balance on one foot. but by jabbing her
umbrella into the mud she saved her
self from sitting down sideways. Then
she got both feet into her overshoes and
tried to step. She couldn't rescue those
shoes to save her. Then she looked
around to see ife anybody was looking.
che bent over and took hold of one of
the rubbers with her hand and finally
coaxed lite .esme along with the foot,
but while she was doing that one of her
packages fell out from under her arm
behind. She tried to turn around
to pick it up, but her rubbers had
again become fastened in the yield
ing clay, and they would not move.
At this point she began to get mad Her
warm-cOlored hair flashed fire, her eyes
snapped, her face turned the color of a
red wheelbarrow, and she looked around
Tor a man TO kill. ItWas the most awful
sight ever witnessed by mortal man. For
fully three minutes she stood there, and
then she took her feet out of those rub
bers. picked the muddy things up in her
hands and waded ashore, her delicate
ga, ters going into the clay clear to her
stockings. When she got on the plank
walk on Van Buren, street, she wiped her
feet off on the fence, and after looking
around for the author of her ruin for
few moments, she went away, looking
back at every step as though the fate of
the person who left that sidewalk open
was sealed. 1t is said that woman has
been seen for two nights walking III. and
down the street, with mountain bow
itzer strapped to her back, looking vainly
for game that is out of season. Well,
she had fright to be mad.-AlsJ,oasskee

n AnAchA ArrOM.

IN the year 1864 George Peasland was
a member of the California volunteers,
cavalry regiment commanded by Col
Cremony, who commanded a campaign
against the Apaches in rizona. During
one of the numerous fights with these
murderous savages Peas'and was struck
in the abdomen by a poisoned arrow
and very nearly lost his life, which was
saved only by the immediate application
of remedies Learned by Ceremony during
his long intercourse with the Indians.
The effects of the poison remained in his
system, however, manifesting themsel es
most disagreeably at times and causing
him intense suffering. Peasland is now
employed as night watchman at the
Virginia and TrUekee depot in this
city. Last night while walking along
the track near Union street, he was sud-
denly seized with a terrible pain III his
side and abdomen, which had the effect
Of completely paralvzing his lower ex-
tremities and causing him to fall between
the rails. He was utterly unable to
move from the spot, and was in
danger of perishing, but he finally
summoned sufficient strength to gather
some stones that lay within his reach
and throw them against the depot
saloon on. the corner, thus attracting the
attention of persons inside, who came
to his assistance and removed him to the
railroad depot. He was found there
this morning, on the floor, writhing in
pain and in a state bordering on insan-
ity. Dr. Bergstein was summoned and
succeeded in quieting the unfortunate
nan by administering hypodermic in
jections of morphine Peasland was
taken to his home, and at last accounts
was more comfortable Virginia Citg

Tho Ricycle and the Tricycle.

A writer in the English Mecban1c says:
GA good tricycle. is an exceedingly rare
thing. The makers, so far as my ez-
perietce goes, pay little or no attention
to small but imp6rtaTIt tIiatters, and the
consequence is that few triGyGles can
class over second or third rate. With
good tricycle. the labor is less than
good bycicle, the motion is far smoother,
less power Is wasted iii shaking the rider
about, and the strain OH the attention
is, beyond comparison, less. with
good tricycle. any rider without daily
training may ride the whole day, day
after day a thing that no 5icyGls rider
could do without constant training.
The,average running speed, in my own
experience, is about the same, but can
travel twice the distance in one day with
n tricycle. as Gompafed with q first-rate
bicycle with suspension spring and fOller
bearings, the tricycle. having plain
parallel bearings to all three wheels. As
a travelling machine in all 7Teathers the
tricycle. is the best beyond all cOmpari=
son, partly from the ease with which the
ground is covered, partly from the per-
feet protection from weather which an
umbrella gives. | certainly am not
cramped on the tricycle. but in precisely
the same position as when OH th5 bycicle:
My reason for adhering to the biCycleis IS
a simple one. The motion is rough, the
exercise is hard, aid the two together

as my health is concerned. 1 keep a

Examine YOnr Chin.

A pointed or round chin indicates a
congenial love. A person with such a
chin will have beau ideal, and will not
be easily satisfied with real men or
women. The indented chin indicates n
great desire to be loved; hungers and
thirsts for affection. When large in
woman, she may overstep the bonds of
etiquette and make love to the one that
pleases her. A narrow, square chin in
dicates desire to love, and is more COM
mon among women. The broad square
chin indicates ardent love, combined
with great steadfastLess and permanence
of affection. The retreating chin is in
dicative of the want of attachment, and
but little arder in love- The chin, in its
length and breadth, indicates self-will,
resolution, decision, etc. Carnivorous
animals have the upper jaw projecting,
while those of the graminivOrOus have
the lower jaw projecting. In man with
a projecting jaw will be found large de-
structiveness and love of animal food;
when the lower jaw does not project,
then the love for vegetable food
