The BaStile.

. The dreadful Bastile was the state
prison and citadel of Paris. The building
of the prison was begun in 1869 by
Charles v, it was enlarged in succeed
ing reigns, and destroyed by tho people
in 1889. It was situated at the gate of
St. Antoine. The inhuman treatment
to which prisoners in the Bastile were
subjected has few parallels in the his
tory of penal cruelty. Put there with
out accusation or trial, on simple
lettre de cachet, their final fate was en-
tirely dependent on the caprice of the
caprice of the monarch, and unknown
even to their families or their most in
innate friends, as no communication
was allowed the prisoners with the out
side world. Voltaire, Richelieu, and
the man in the iron mask, whose ident-
ity has never been fully established,
were among the prisoners in this
dungeon of despotism. When, in 1889,
the people of France rose in their
might to throw off the abominable yoke
of despotism, the storming Of this
dungeon was one of the first actions
taken by the enraged populace. It was
captured, ransacked, and the prisoners,
some of whom had been confined on
frivolous charges for more than thirty
years, liberated, and its towers RACED.
On it's site now stands magnificent
column erected in memory of the patri-
OTIS of 1889.

Pompeif.

In historical lecture, Rev. Henry G..
Spalding said that in 1748 the spade of
. Spanish engineer first struck upon
the buried ruins of the city. The city
was buried at q depth of from twenty
three to twenty-six feet of ashes and
volcanic mud. The lower half of the
deposit consisted of dry ashes and
small stones or scori@. Then comes
about ten feet of volcanic mud. This
was caused by the heavy vapor of steam
in the atmosphere, which converted the
shower Of ashes as they fell into plas-
tic mass. Above this mud are the
scoriae and ashes of later eruptions, and
the soil which has accumulated upon
the surface. Nothing, or very little,
was burned in Pompeii.s The heat was
not sufficient TO change. the colors of
the frescoes on the walls, and the wood
work was carbonized by it's long en-
tombment in such soil. The lecturer
defended the city against the charge SO
commonly made that it was an immoral
and vicious city. 1t was city of art
and culture, and was inhabited by men
of wealth and rare taste. IF our mod
ern American cities were to be blotted
out as Pompeii was blotted out, the fu-
ture discoverer would find beneath their
ruins evidences of vice and icentious-
ness to which Pompeii can give but lit
tie comparison.

Travelling in the Olden Times.

Travelling in the early English days
was very different from what it is in
the present day; coaches were not in
vented, and the only vehicles which
went upon wheels were carts and wag-
ons, and these we're heavy and clumsy.
Horseback was the only conveyance, SO
that the sick and infirm could scarcely
leave their houses. In those times
there were very few roads upon which
one could travel in safety. The Ro-
mans left excellent roads in many parts
of Europe, which, however, were neg
lected, and they fell into decay.
Marshes were perilous to cross; q
bridge might be broken down, and
when you tried to ford the stream, your
horse might get out of his depth, and
then he and hisrider might be drowned.
Sometimes the traveller had to pass
through dark forest, Astounding with
bears and wolves; and, at the end of his
days journey, instead of putting up at
comfortable inn, he was often COM
PEELED to stretch his cloak on the dark
earth in some wretched hut. And, what
was worse, the Kings and Princes were
almost always at war with each other,
and stranger was constantly liable to
be plundered and seized, or put to
death, by the oontending parties.

Ingersoll's Appeal to q Jury.

Once a farmer was on trial for MUIR
der. He had shot one of his neighbors
dead. The evidence was conclusive as
to the killing and who did it; but it
could be construed to show that the
slayer might have had cause to think
that he was acting in self-defense.
When Col. Ingerson was addressing
the jury he drew poetical picture of
his clients wife and children at home
he had refused to allow the wife or
children to be present, as less-skilliul
advocate would have done-and then
he said that even at that moment the
loving wife was standing at the door,
with the sunlight on her face, waiting
to welcome her husband back to his
Preside, and the little boys were swing
ing on the gate and looking from time
to time along the road, expecting to see
him come, and jump into his arms and
kiss him. "And won't you let him 20
homer" he asked. The jury were lis
tening with moist eyes and leaning for
ward in their seats. The foreman, q
great, sturdy farmer, with tears running
down his sun-browned cheeks if the
question had been asked for immediate
information nodded his head and said {:
Yes, Bob, We'll let him go home to
them!" Il l.. a.. ....- g.1 I..s..
Ingerson had not half finished his ar
gument, but he sat right down at once.
The Prosecuting Attorney made long
speech in reply, but of course it was of
no use-the defendant was unanimously
acquitted. ,.t. * .ts..+.s,.H.

OCCASIONALLY you win meet young
man who gets on the train somewhere

will say, @Omaha!" in the tone of
brakeman calling station, and then
look up and down the car to observe the
amazement and awe of the other pass
engers, and you will notice that he
looks little bit disappointed because
they do not take off their hats and ask
to shake hands with him and want to
know where he comes from and all
about him. But by-and-by when he
learns, from casual remarks dropped
cerelessly now and then, that the man
behind him is. going to San Francisco,
and the one in front of him is going to
Japan, and the old fellow on the other
side of the aisle is just returning from
st. Petersburg, the young man drops
his voice to husky whisper, shrinks
down into his buster SO that no one can
see him, and tells the next man who
asks him about it that he is only going

Laughed Too Late.

A writer IN the Independent illus
trates the slow sensibility of an English
man to a joke. The anecdote is one
told of Artemus Wards visit to En-
gland: .
He had been dined at the Savage
Club, and in return invited some of the
members to dine with him. Now the
great humorist was poor and very
democratic man, and so chose rather
plain inn for his dinner. The butter
brought on the table was not nice. It
was, to say the least, suggestive.
Waiter" said Artemus Ward,
"haven't you got some bald headed but
ter? Take away this butter and bring
some bald-headed butter"
Nobody smiled; no one thought of
laughing. The Englishmen went back
to their club-room after leaving their
host, and began to discuss the great
American humorist. Suddenly one of
their number sprang to his feet and be-
gan to laugh. '.a. leH
"Oh, now, I say, did you ear him talk
about bald-'eaded butter2 Why, he
wanted butter without air in it, you
know" Rather slow are those honest
English people to see American Jokes ;
