Drunken Pigs.

Two French savants have for the last
twelve months been keeping nine pigs
in a state of habitual drunkenness, with
a view OF testing tho effects Of different
kinds of alcoholic liquors.; the project of
the Seine having kindly put some sites
in the yard of the municipal slaughter
houses at the disposal of the savants, in
order that they might conduct their in
teresting experiment at the least cost to
themselves. Pigs were chosen for the
experiment because of the close resem-
blancesof their digestive apparatus to
that of man. The pig who takes absinthe
is first gay then excitable, irritable, COM
bative, and finally drowsy; the pig who
has brandy mixed with his food is cheer
full all through till he falls to sleep; the
rum-swilling pig becomes sad and SOM
nolent almost at once; while the pig who
takes gin conducts himself in eccentric
ways-gruntiEg, squealing, fitting his
head against the sty door, and rising on
his hind legs as if to snuff the wind.
DR.. Decaisne. describing these expert
ments with intoxicated swine, remarks in
the France that they are none the worse
for their years tipping.

Viola TrlcOlOr..Pansy.

The pansy is universal favorite,
known and admired everybody, and
for many good reasons it is deservedly
called the pet of the garden" The
richness and endless variation in color
of its flowers, its pleasing form, the easy
manner in which it can be cultivated
producing an abundance of flowers both
early as well as late in the SEASON. all of
these excellent qualities make it indis-
pensable to the garden. Quite number
of names have been given to it, irrespec-
tive of its botanical appellation. With
the French the most popular name is
''pensee;" with the English, "heart's-
ease;" with the Americans, "pansy;"
with the Germans, "stiefmuetterchen Z"
The pansy is generally considered an
annual, because it is every year raised
from the seed, and flowers within two
months from the time of planting the
seed. With us it is perennial; but I
have always found that to have good
pansies, fresh seed should be sown at
least every spring, and murh better re-
suit can be accomplished by planting
twice year, early in spring and in au-
tumn. Pansies, if allowed to become
old, are apt to degenerate in color as we'll
as in size. They require a very rich
soil, a good deal of moisture, and cool
atmosphere; it is difficult to have fine
blooms during very warm weather. The
best pansies have had were planted
either in October or in April.
The most important matter in the cul-
ture of good pansies is to obtain the very
best of seed; and frequent failures in OBJ
tanning first.class flowers must be attri-
buted to the inferiority of the seed,
which should only be gathered from the
very finest and most perfect fowers-a
precaution which seedsmen generally
will not take. Purchase your pansy
seed from a house of we'll established
reputation. The seed may be sown in a
box or pot filed with light sandy soil.
and covered about one-eighth of an inch
with the same material. Water we'll
after sowing and if you have any glass
handy it will be conducive to the
early termination of the seed to
cover the box or pot with it, giving a
little air during pleasant weather.
The glass should be painted or white
washed upon one side. After the plants
are up, and have produced their second
leaves, the glass may be taken off alto
gether; but little shading from the sun
during bright DAYS is advisable, until the
plants have become sufficiently hard
ened to be planted out wherever they
are desired to grow and flower. Before
planting the ground should be we'll en-
riched, thoroughly spaded, and moist
ened if dry. Water gently after trans
planting, and in few days the young
plants will be sufficiently established to
take care of themselves.
Pansy seed may also be sown in the
open ground, if the soil is we'll prepared
and Of light, sandy quality. The former
method, however, is the best and most
certain,

A Modest Request.

Not long before the Cars death let
ter arrived in st. Petersburg bearing the
Roman postmark under the title of "Her
Majesty the Lady Princess Dolgorouki. Z"
The letter proved to be the work of o
young Italian painter, of hopeful gen.
ius as he himself believed, but of empty
purse. He had no means of pursuing
that course of study which was needed
in order to place him high in the ranks
of the rising artists of Europe and in de-
spair of other helpers conceived the bril-
liant thought of applying to the Prin-
cess Dorgorouki, and asking her to send
him the trifing sum of 1000 roubles!
The "Grand Duchess" as the servants
of the Russian Court call her, showed
the letter to the Gar, who was highly
amused, and said the young fellow de
served something for so daring stroke
Of financial impudence." He gave orders
that three ciphers should be struck
of, and the remainder $50 robles) be
sent to the petitioner.

Anecdotes OF Carlyle.

Mr.. Stuart Reid saw MIR. Carlyle some
years ago in Hyde Park, and, though q
stranger, he could not resist q strong de-
sire to speak to him; he ventured to ask
the friend who was with Mr.. Carlyle if
he might do so.
"He was told; and then he turned those
earnest, searching eyes upon me, and
looked at me slowly from head to foot,
and back from foot to head, and said at
last, in rather gruff and unpromising
tones, as he ended his scrutiny, And
who are you?
"For moment l felt staggered by my
own insignifcance, but promptly recall
ing a passage of John Sterling. I an
swered with flash of mother wit, i am
black dragon from Manchester! That
was all; but it was enough. The old
man threw back his head and laughed
heartily, and then motioned me to sit
down by his side, and at once
began to question me with
unlocked for thoroughness. At the close
of our conversation, he stretched out his
hand kindly and said in grave and en-
phatic tones. Well; sir, l wish you
we'll now and always; 1 wish you we'll,
and that with all my heart! And then,
as turned to go, he fixed his eyes SOL
EMMY upon me and said in tones which
thrilled me through and through, Aye,
aye. and what we know not now. we
shall know hercafter!,
"Once more I saw him later on, by
his own gracious act, at his own house,
in the dull, quaint old street in Chelsea.
l was ushered into that quiet room mp
stairs, which his genius and his
presence has now forever made sacred
and historic to every lover of English
literature. What chiefly passed on that
occasion, as we talked through
the long and beautiful May after
noon, cannot be told here, or indeed any
where else; yet never shall l forget the
sympathy and help so generously given
there and then. Suffice it to say Car
lyle talked freely of his own early strug-
giles and intellectual difficulties, and
gave me, with kindly earnestness and
utmost gentle simplicity, some weighty
words OF counsel and of cheer. HIS
speech glided on from the great events
Of his own life to the trivial affairs of
mine, from Goethe and Emerson to
Manning and Moody; and everything he
touched he TRANSPORTED with the light
of genius. Well do I remember the
scorn with which he spoke Of the Rom
ish prelate as Of one who was forever
play -actoring with the Almighty. !"

lieve; now I have some good news for
you"
haye no idea what you mean," said
Lucia, indifferently.
"Ah, we'll, you will never guess.
know you won't try, so I will tell you.
George Eustace is free again."
Lucia's face flushed, and her eyes
filed with tears.
Jennie" she said, indignantly, chow
can you speak so cruelty, so lightly ?"
"Now, Luce, you know did not mean
anything. 1t was only my nonsense.
Where's mamma? I'm going to find
her."
Lucia sat still where Jennie had left
her, but her sewing fell unheeded in her
lap, and her thoughts wandered far
away. But the next morning her face
was as bright as usual, and with these
common place duties filed up her time
till another year of her life glided by.
A whole year had passed by since the
death of George Eustace's wife, when the
servant came in one evening, looking a
little anxious. She had been with
Lucia's mother for years, and thought
the world held no one like Miss Lucia.
"Some one in the parlor to see you,
Miss Lucia" she said.
A happy light came into Lucias face.
cts Mr.. Lawrence, Mary, is it not?"
She spoke in an assured voice, hardly
asking question.
"No, Miss Lucia, faint him; it's Mr.
George Eustace."
There was a moments hesitation.
''Tell Mr.. Eustace I will be down in q
few minutes" And Lucia turned to the
glass and mechanically began smoothing
her hair, and making some changes in
her dress.
There was no trace of emotion in her
face when she entered the room few
moments after, and holding out her
hand, she said quietly:
"How are you? 1 did not know you
had returned"
"No, only came in on the afternoon
train. he answered, land have not had
time to look mp my old friends yet"
"You will find many changes" she
answered.
"The only change I feared to find was
in you" -,
carelessly.
Eyes. Forgive me, Lucia. I have
come Dack 10 you. NY marriage was
sudden thing; hardly knew myself how
it came about. was not worthy of my
wife, but 1 found too late 1 had never
ceased to love you, and now"
But she interrupted him.
"Mr Eustice," she said, and her eyes
were full of tears, "do not say anything
more. Believe me, 1 am sorry to give
you pain. But I felt long ago that our
engagement was mistake-that it was
better for me you married some one
else. 1 am soon to be married to one
whom esteem beyond all others, whom
I honor"-her voice sunk lower here
"whom 1 love-"
"May inquire his name ?" he asked,
bitterly.
"Robert Lawrence, our minister"
He rose and held out his hand.
She gave him her hand in silence.
"You forgive me for the past, Lucia ?"
he asked, hoarsely.
81 understand" he said "You have
found some one so much more worthy
that there is no cause for forgiveness.
She could not deny it; and he left her
to her happiness.
