An American Bonaparte.

Charles Joseph Bonaparte, the younger
grandson of Jerome aparte-brother OF
Napoleon land Elizabeth Patterson Bona
parte. about whose eventful career and sin
gular life in Baltimore so much has been
written, is only twenty-eight years Of age,
and. unlike his older brother, Jerome Napo-
leon, who holds a commission in the French
army, has sympathies more American than
Gallo He is rich, having inherited large
amount of property from his mother, and
also from his father, who married early in
life Susan Mary Williams, daughter of Ben
jamin Williams, of Roxbury, Mass. Charles
Joseph appears entirely content to be an
American citizen, never having been in
spired with any of his grandmother restless
ambition or Napoleonic worship, which, in
spite of her shameful treatment from the
Emperor, she cherished TO her dying day.
He is said to resemble his father in cITarac-
ter, while his elder brother is said to resem-
bic his grandmother in many particulars.
In person he is reputed to bear a striking
likeness to the great Napoleon, as his father
did to such degree that he attracted much
attention when travelling in France and
other European States. His father favored
Napoleon |. far more than the Emperor's
own brothers did, and it is not strange that
the resemblance should be transmitted to
the son. Charles Joseph is said to be very
quiet, amiable, well-bred gentleman, who
spends good deal of his time in managing
a large farm near Baltimore

What Becomes of Fijlan Widows.

There is no uniformity OF custom in Fiji
so that no description of what is done by
any one tribe can be taken as applicable tC
all the others. The stranging Of widows
however, that they might be buried with
their dead husbands, seems to have been
everywhere practiced The widows broth
er performs the operation, and is thence
forward treated with marked respect by his
brother-in-law's kihsfolks, who present him
with a piece Of land, over which the strang-
ling cord is hung up. Should he, however,
fail to strangle his sister he is despi-ed
When woman Is about to be straugled,
she is made to knee down and the cord Ga
strip Of native cloth) is put round her neck.
She is then told to expel her breath as long
"a possible, and when she can endure no
longer to strech out her hand as a signal
whereupon the cord Is frightened, and soon
all is over. 1t Is believed that if this di-
rection be followed insensibility ensues inn
mediately on the tightening of the cord,
whereas if inhalation has taken place
there is an interval Of suifering.-A. Lane

The Norwegian Horse.

The horse was one of the prettiest, most
docile creatures Imaginable. But / had
done with it, l loved the animal, and like
the Irishman with his COW, could | have
sent it over to England i'll letter, it should
have bid a long farewell TO its wild noun
tain life. 1t was grazing quietly about a
hundred yards away. Then catching sight
of US it knew well enough what the inva-
sion meant, and pricking up its ears and
arching its neck, gave a slight neigh and
began gently trotting up and down, its fine
white name and long tail hutteriug in the
breeze. 1t answered the masters call as
obediently as a dog, and followed gently at
his heels up to the cottage. We were soon
ready and once more on the way. Now be-
gan a long, toisOme climb, which lasted
until o'clock at night | had never yet
gone through anything of the kind on
horseback; | am not sure that / should
care to attempt it again. Without ever
encountering actual danger-thanks to the
sure-footedness of the horse-we were often
in what appeared such imminent peril that
more than once | regretted the adventure
and devoutly wished myself back again.
For the pedestrians there was not even the
appearance of risk, beyond the possibility
of stones lOosening from the heights and
rolling down upon them. From the very
beginning | noticed how wonderfully the
horse piloted himself over the rough places
and through impossible difficulties exer-
cising a skill and discrimination far greater
than that of his rider At length | gave 1t
up to him and allowed him to take his own
course The sagacity of the animal was
marvellous the manner in which he would
pause a moment at a troublesome spot,
seem to pick out his way mentally, and then
boldly taking it, never hesitate until it
was oyer-The ArgOsv

Exiles IN Siberia.

The popular idea of the fate of prisoners
sentenced to hard labor in the mines of Sibe
ria Is a somewhat exaggerated one. 1t Is
generally believed thata man condemned to
work in the Siberian mines is virtually con-
demned to death; that when he descends
into his mine ne says goodbye to the light
of heaven forever, being kept under ground
until he dies and that living as he thus
does, amid unhealthy fumes, death Is not
long i'll coming. The correspondent Of the
London Times, having heard these state
lnents before he went TO Siberia, appears to
have taken some trouble to ascertain wheth-
er they are true or not, and, after many in
quiries, common fairness he writes, com
pels me TO say that every one denied that
there was any foundation for them. Even,
he continues, "the few Poles who spoke to
me 50 bitterly of the Government did not
bring this to their charge; nor did | meet
any of the cOnvicts who said as much On
the contrary, the silver mines We're, SO far
as he could learn, worked on the twelve, and
sometimes even on the eight, hour system
while in the gold mines, which he himself
visited the men worked in Summer from
s in the morning till at night, with inter
walls OF rest for meals. In the coal mines
also. the men only work twelve hours day,
and an officer informed the writer that the
of work allotted to each man per
day ought to be got through by an energetic
workman in about two hours. On the other
hand il appears that fogging is not infre-
quently inflicted in barbarous manner in
in Siberia. At three stations, but apparent
ly at three stations only-at Kara, Nicola
ievsk and Saghalien-an instrument called
the "troichatka," or plalt, Is used. From
twenty TO fifty stripes are usually admnIs~
tered, though the number may be made
hundred; and the writer adds that ''when
the heavy numbers are inflicted, the punish
ment must be little short Of an execution.
in fact, the convicts do not
recover from its effects"

From Small Beginnings.

1t is not necessary that boy who learns
a trade should work at it all his life. Gov.
Palmer, of Illinois, was country blacksmith
once. Thomas Hayne, rich and eminent
lawyer, also of Illinois, was once a bookbin-
der. Erastus Corning, of New York, too
lame to do hard work, commenced as shop
boy in Albany. When he applied for en-
ployIhent he was asked: ''Why, my little
boy, what can you do p ''Can do what l am
bid" was the answer, which secured him
the place. Senator Wilson, of Massachu-
sets, was a shoemaker. Thurlow Weed
was a canal boat driver. Ex-Governor
Stone, of Iowa was cabinet maker, which
trade Stephen A. Douglass also worked at in
his youth. Large numbers of MEN of prom
inence now living have risen from humble
life, by dint of industry, without which tai
ent is as gold coin on barren island. Work
alone makes men bright, and it does not
alone depend upon the kind of work you
have to do, whether you rise or not; it de-
ponds upon how you do 1.-THE Tablet,

The Human Ear.

Imagine two harps in a room, with the
same number of strings, and each string
perfectly attuned to a corresponding string
in the other. Touch a string in one, and
the corresponding string in the other Will
give out the same sound. Try another
string, and its corresponding tone will be
sounded. So with any combination of the
strings 1t would notmatter how you played
the one harp, the other would respond No
doubt the response would be weaker. That
is what one would expect but the response
as regards pitch and quality, would be
almost perfect. Now substitute for one harp
human ear, and the conditions would,
according to theory, be the same, except
that the responsive mechanism of the ear
is much smaller than that Of the respon-
sive harp. III the ear there are minute
chords, rods, or something, in such a state
of tension as to be tuned to tones of various
pitch; sound a tone, its corresponding rod
or chord in the ear will respond, perhaps
feebly, but still with energy sufficient to
excite the nerve-ilament connected with
it the result is a nervous current to the
BRAIN and a sensation of a tone Of partic-
ular pitch-Good Words

The Round Dances.

We are not fully posted with reference to
the amusements INDUCED IN by young ladies
and gentlemen, but we have heard some
things which astonished Us. Il Is only with
in a few years past that the round dances,
such waltzes, polkes, etc, have been re-
garded as proper, but, - rapid has been the
advancement in evil, that many young per-
sons now regard other amusements tame
and stupid and those who cry out against
these are denounced as cold fogies," etc
Well We are old fogy IN this matter and hope
to continue so, and we propose 10 write
few plain, old-togy facts.
In the first place, We should like for some
one To give u one good reason why 1t l. pro
per for young man 10 put his arm around
a young lady 10 the music OF violin, and
an insult Tor him 10 do the very sans thing
when sitting q sofa.
Ii young ladies, after leaving the ball
room, could hear the remarks made by their
recent partners, in commenting upon their
dancing qualities, we believe they would
/ recUIl with horror from these things. We
I have such high regard for female purity and
/ innocence that we can not think that the
/ young ladies are conscious OF the dangers TO
/ which they are exposed; the fact is, their
very innocence may expose them 10 dangers
which those who know more would possibly
avoid. But the mothers know better and
there is what Is the most astonishing thing
connected with this subject how any moth
er can consent to have her daughte exposed
to such dangers Is more than can under
stand.
And then, the waltz of few years ago, |
we understand, is not TO be compared with /
the waltz of to-day. 4 young man proposed /
to teach his sister, who was happily ignor- |
ant on this subject, the peculiar step of |
new waltz, and she said it actually abashed |
her to take the position with her own broth
er. And yet this Is i very popular dance. |
young man viii dance these with pleas
ure himself; but ask him if he IS perfectly |
willing to have his sister do 50.
Ii the round dances continue to Improve
in yoluptuousness it will, ere long, become
something more than a question Of propriety
and may even resolve itself into one of, we
had almost said, decency.
We have also understood that young la
dies excuse themselves for participating in
the waltz upon the plea that if they do not
they Will have no attention from young
men. If this i the case, 1t Is Il very sad
upon the present condition OF
society, and we would suggest to young
ladies that, while young men may seek their
society in order to enjoy the pleasure of
the waltz, they will lose none of their re-
spect for them if they refuse to permit such
liberties: nor do we believe that any man,
in selecting partner for life, would choose
one because she yielded gracefully and Will
ugly TO the embraces Of the waltz.
In conclusion, we appeal to the young
ladies'; quit the round dances (and all I
others, for that NATTER, and let young men
know that they cannot use you for their
pleasure until, TO use the very meaning (
expression of young man recently, they I
nave ''SO1tref' on you, and then go after '
)ther game. baptist Record. /

A Heavy Sleeper.
Courier-J Journal

Louisville C0urier-J OurnaL
Alexander Emerson, youth living in
the west end of the city, has for the past
six months been subject to very peculiar
and unusual attacks of somnia. The first
indication he has of an attack IS a severe
nervous headache, coming on soon after
breakfast. In a short time, usually by
o'clock, he gets drovsy, lies down and i'm
mediately goes into a deep sleep, which con-
tinues for seventy-two hours-tbree days
and nights He can be aroused with diff
Guilty, and a. soon as left undisturbed goes
to sleep again. On the third morning his
sleep is disturbed by severe nervous chills,
and as these pass off in an hour or two he
relapses into a sound sleep, which continues
until the next morning, when he wakes up
very much exhausted. During his sleep
he has no inclination to eat or drink, but
rather an aversion for either when aroused.
He has recently been placed under the
treatment of DR.. r. II. Porter. who classes
the case as a rare form of neurasthemia.

Forced economy and want of money have

a FEW years ago stables for sLelterng stock

Later they were quite as generally denounced.
Il was held that the foul AR rose from them
and injured the hay ard other fodder stored
above them. They were also objected TO Tor
the reason that they were generally dark and
damp Basement ztables If rightly construc-
ted have many advantages, and farmers who
are erecting barns the present season would
10 well TO consider them. They are warmer
in winter and cooler in summer than stables
that are built entirely above ground. 1T IS
