 Prometheus, having been convicted of Petty Larceny of Fire, was by Jupiter con- demned to be chained to the Rocks of Mount Caucasus, where Vulture was appointed perpetually to feed upon his Liver. The in- genious Philosopher, having vainly endeav- ored to inspire the Vulture with Prejudice against Liver as Vulgar Dish, entered into secret Partnership with the Bird, and by ju- diciously representing that he had been cured of Hepatitis by Single Application, induced thousands of invalids to resort to the Cau- casus and use the Vulture (pat'd) as a Liver Pad, thus accumulating great Wealth and ac- quiring the Reputation of Benefactor of Humanity es

There is clause in the Constitution Of Pennsylvania fixing the pay of members of the State Legislature at $10 day for ses- sion of 100 days, and the requirement has always been construed to mean that the pay ran on at $10 per diem as long as the Legis- lature chose to sit-in 1879 for 151 days; but the attorney general has just decided that $1, 900 is all that can be paid, no matter how long session may run, and that the legisla- tors must sit for nothing if they sit beyond the 100 days It is estimated that this deci- sion will save the State about $20o, ,O0O this session

 The Vienna correspondent of theNew York
 World gives an interesting account of the dis turbanee caused in that city by the bill to change the term of compulsory education from eight to six years. Hofrath Lienbaeher, with whom the bill originated, became very passionate during the debate. and at last ex- claimed that whosoever cared to study the eff feet of eight years schooling need but go into the low public houses in the suburbs of Vienna, where the pupils might be seen any day. This insult was received with such uproarious disapproval that the president felt obliged to interrupt the sitting for awhile. The next scene of the drama was en- acted in front of Herr Lienbacher's house. About four hundred students assembled there to treat him to serenade of what is called s'cats' music.' A terrible noise was kept up with songs and whistles, and whenever a pause ensued 400 voices bawled out, tsPe- rsat ?" But this did not last long. The po- lice marched up and very roughly advised the unruly students to go home. The police behaved as though a revolution had broken out, but the students retired quietly. it- tie old woman stood by and cried for the Lord to have mercy on the poor students, who would most certainly be served as they were in 1S48. Fifteen students were arrested and this led to the renewal of the disturban- ces. The Premier had made up his mind to act with the utmost severity, but the stud nts by no means took things quietly, and in as semblies of five hundred discussed the prob able fate of their arrested comrades. The police closed the academical reading room, which has almost thousand members, and surrounded the place in front of the univer- sity by lines of armed watchmen. When the news spread about town that the fifteen prisoners had been delivered up to the Stu preme Court of Justice the students assem- bled in the streets to consult. The police of fcer in charge of the university place begged them to disperse, and was greatly astonished when one of the ringleadsrs, 8 fine young fellow named Ashuer, promised that the students would separate immediately if the police walked away first. This was said in so determined tone that the officer thought it advisable to consent and ordered his men to retreat. The students elected a commit tee to keep order and to carry a protest against the way in which the persons arrested had been treated to the Premier. The ff- teen prisoners were released the next day, but government decree was sent to the uni versity by which the reading hall was dis solved, because it's members had acted in con- tempt of the law. The association founded ten years ago and was thoroughly cosmopolitan at first but in time it became an enthusiastic nursery for the National Lib erey party, and this explains it's abolition by the government.

ARemarknble Watch.

J. E. Hale San Franciscan, is the posses sor of most remarkable watch It must
 have cost originally over $1 1000. The time cates the time, the date of the month, and the day of the week. In the dark it will disclose the time by striking the hour and then the quarters. Another dial registers down as low as the quarter seconds and is invaluable at a horse race. A barometer tells you how the weather is going to be and therometer how it is. It tells you how many miles you walk every day, and, by an ingenious piece of mechanism, registers how many cocktails you have drank before dinner. When you lay it down flat on it's back the hands of one of the .dials stop. and when you get up in the morning the time at which you retired stares you coldly in the face. Every day at 12 o'clock little bird hops out of the stem win der and warbles the notes of song, and,
 when this performance is completed, boy comes out and bangs away on hash house gong.

An interesting experiment is to be tried by the University of Pennsylvania That insti- tuition has accepted from Mir. Joseph Whar- ton, of Philadelphia, an endowment of $l0O,- 600 in stocks and bonds yielding an annuity of more than $6.OO0, for the establishment
 of a school of Finance and Economy as de- partment of the University.

 extent, and strict examination for admission
 will be required. There will be, besides the
 Dean, professors of bookkeeping, of money
 and currency, of taxation, of industry, com merce and transportation, and of mercantile law. The general tendency of the instrnc- ton imparted is to inculcate. among other

to be expedient
Mrs. Duniway followed Mr.. Cruzan agreeing
with him substantially in considering universal
suffrage inexpedient, and proposing methods for
establishing intelligent and moral qualifications
for voters. She said she believes the present
method of voting to be full of evils, being an un-
equal contest where intelligence and morality
are too often vanquished.

Pedro, The trotting stallion Portion, and
PAGER that had no show In the
race. At the word, Pedro took the
lead, which he maintained through0t
the heat, winning without effort in 1883,
Portion four lengths in the rear and the PAGER
nowhere.
They took the word for the second heat
with Portion slightly in advance, the driver
of whom crowded Bedro close to the pole,
raking the latter horse a full length with his
wheel, which forced his driver to pull him to
standstill, and then make new start after
the other horses, which he did going at rap
id rate, reaching the half mile in LII, passing
on and cutting down his Competitors in a
manner fearful to behold, and
passing under the wire three
lengths in advance of Portion in 2:2S, having
trotted the last half mile in i'll. This horse,
Pedro, struck rapid trot for the first time
this season, the several matinees wherein he
has participated being the only tuition had
that would tend to develope his speed. He is
an up headed fellow, with bold action and
lofty carriage, and is driven without check
rein or other appliances.
The conduct of the driver of Portion was
vicious in the extreme, and the judges only
regretted they did not have him in race Tor
consideration, where they could have applied
the penalties provided for such cussedness:
With the exception of this, and the selfish
action of the two colored drivers that abuse
their privilege of the track, and which is pro-
verbal with them, the matinee was grand
success, consequence of the good manage
ment, under the immediate direction of MIR.

The Mortality in July Surpasses any Pre-
vious Month.
The intense heat of the past month has had
its effect upon the health of st. Paul, as well
as of the country generally. The forthcom-
ing report of the health officer of the city for
the month of July show the
number of deaths to have been 133,
the largest nu~ser in any one month, we be-
lieve, in the record of the vital statistics of
The city. OF this number, 49 were children
who died from cholera infantum. Dipththe-
ria and typhoid fever also figure, to certain
extent, among the causes which have
swelled the death rate to such large proper
tions. Such diseases as consumption sum-
mer complaint. etc., are like the poor-al-
ways with us. is grevious question to
consider the causes from whence this increase
of deaths arise. Much, perhaps, can be at
tributed to the unusual heat; but is there not
much more reasonable grounds for supposing
that it is caused by mslarial influences
brought about by the constant tearing upo
our streets for the purpose of putting in
sewers, gas pipes, and excavations for the
many new buildings in process of erection?
The subject is worthy the attention of our
scientific savants.

CITY GLoBULKa

A little seyen-y year-old son Of Mr.. Berns Du-
four, Of West St. Paul, was severely bitten in
the hand last evening by vicious dog. That
father made material for soap grease out Of
him in short order.
The funeral of Mrs. Erger took place from
the Church of the Assumption at Q o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and wGs one Of the
largest over held in the city. The spacious
church was flied to its utmost capacity and
the remains were followed to the cemetery by
. long line Of carriages. ~
Between and o'clock yesterday morning,
Sergeant Walsh called at the Warren house
and arrested two girls and two young men,
who were all occupying one room. All Of
them were under 20 years of age. They all
gave fictitious names, of course. The two
girls were released on bail and the two young
men locked up. The matter will undergo in
vestlgation this morning in the municipal
court.
The weather was delightful yesterday, and
the consequence was that the city was nearly
deserted during the most of the day. Every
one who could hire, borrow or beg convey
ance was out enjoying the pleasant, cool air,
so grateful after the heat of the week. The

last evening.
A woman who gave her name as Mrs. Her.
rick, and who was accompanied by four child
rem, ranging in age from to 10 years, applied
at the city hall Yesterday for aid to reach her
brother at Des Moines, Iowa. She told pitt
full story of abuse by her husband. 1t seems
she is an American and the husband Norwe-
gian. She was widow with three children
when he married her. They removed to Eau
Claire, Wisconsin, but somehow they never
could agree, and finally she concluded to beg
her way back to her brother in Iowa. She had
been helped thus far on her way, but was in
utterly destitute circumstances, and hence her
application as above stated. The matter was
called to the attention of Alderman Grace
who will see that this utterly helpless family
docs not suffer.
