No Place Like Home.

A remarkable story is told in recent
number of the RoDular Science Monthly
of dog-a pointer-owned by gen.
tleman of Cincinnati, who three times
gave him away to friends at some dis
tanee from the city, only to find him
back again, once through binding
snowstorm, very shortly after his ban
ishn ent. 1t was resolved to expert
ment with him in order to test the fact
whether this was the result of memory
or of some keenly-developed scent or
other sense not known. He was accord
ingly dosed with morphine and taken to
a town in Kentucky $50 miles away. In
twenty-eight hours he was at his mas
ter's door. 1t was thought, however,
that he might have recovered from his
lethargy in time to see in what direction
he was going, and so had found his way
back by simply keeping to the railroad
track. He was therefore dosed with
ether, put into closed basket and taken
southeast and northeast, then kept in a
dark shed overnight and let loose in the
morning. He at once set out in
straight line and on a run, not at all like
an animal that had lost his way, crossed
two broad rivers and three steep mount
tain ranges, through five large towns and
a network of roads and crossroads. AL
though he had never been in that part
of the country before, in four days he
reached Cincinnati again. He could not
have remembered or known anything
about his journey down, for he was un-
conscious the whole of the time. What,
then, induced him to start in the right
direction and keep it until he arrived
homep
This question has long puzzled the
naturalists; for stranger instances of
animals finding their way home even
than this have occurred. They are,
however, rare, and suggest the idea that
this instinct is exceptional and not COM
mon to animals.

A French Court Scene.

The Countess de lilly, tried at Saintes,
France, for throwing vitriol into the
face of peasant woman, of whom she
was jealous with good cause, pleaded
that she did not intend seriously to in
jure the woman, and t;;at she had striven
to make amends by giving her $4,000.
The passionate eloquence Of the great
Partisan barrister, Maitre Lachaud,
writes French correspondent, COM
pletely cleared all preconceived notions
from the minds of the honest peasants
forming the jury. After deliberating
for only five minutes they returned with
a verdict of not guilty, which the fore
man delivered in voice full of emo
tion. Then followed one of those scenes
which are to be witnessed only in and
around French court when a prisoner
has been torn from the hands of the law
by the eloquence of popular advocate.
The audience gave itself up to enthu-
siastic applause, and joy beamed on
every face. After the president had
ordered the immediate release of the
accused the countess was surrounded
and kissed by her many relatives. On
leaving the court she embraced Maitrc
Lachaud. warmly thanking him for his
able defense. Outside the building the
crowd uncovered when Madame de
Tilly appeared, and several cries of
"Vive Madame de Tilly!' was heard.
Maitre Lachaud was vigorously cheered
as he left the building.

The Royal Family of China.

The present royal family of China
embraces the triAing number of some
forty thousand souls. Of course this is
easily accounted for, if it be recollected
that most Chinese emperors have wives
by the score, and consequently the num-
ber of aunts, uncles, cousins, and
cousins ever so many times removed,
owned by each emperor, make up
rather startling figure. But of course
nobody could be Xp,cted to love forty
thousand cousins; so by Chinese law
Cor Gus s.om) all claim on the emperor's
attention closes somewhere about the
existing generation of first cousins.
Still, as the odd thirty-nine thousand
seven hundred and Xty are undoubt-
edly of royal blood, a large proportion
of them receive about dollar month
from the public treasury, and If within
a certain degree of relationship, are
entitled to wear yellow girdle. This,
however, does not in the least interfere
with their honestly earning their bread,
and the mess cody in the British lega-
tion at Pekin in 1868 was yellow
girdled cousin" entitled, moreover, to
wear don't know what button on the
top of his very dilapidated old hat. All
members of this imperial clan, however,
if fthey get very little in the way of pen
sion, have enc great advantage-they
cannot be tried before an ordinary court.
A special tribunal exists to try them,
and it was stated in a recent Pekin
Gazette that its members got a terrible
wigging for letting off some of the en-
peror's relations for some offense they
had committed. So much for royal
cousins in China. But the ladies of the
palace afford the most curious paradox
to foreigners, who forget that the Chi
nese are not the only people who make
a great distinction between profession
and practice. An ordinary Chinaman,
in China proper, will tell you that
women are decidedly inferior beings;
aud as to their having souls, pooh
poohs the idea outright. But if you re-
mark that the whole government of the
country has for the last eighteen years
(with short intervaD been carried on
by two ladies-the emperor's mother
and the empress dowager, two of the
cleverest women now alive in China or
any other country-he calmly remarks
that perhaps they are different from
other folk, and he will not at all admit
that the average Chinawoman can posi-
bly, possess brains or sense. 1t is of no
use pointing out to him that Chinese
history abounds with heroines, and that
cases of female pluck, ability and virtue
are constantly recorded in imperial
documents even at the present day. He
'rcontinently changes the subject.
