A STORY OF BERRYER.

Nine. G.. LAMBERT, in her recently pub.
lished volume of Souvenirs" tells curl
GUS story of Berryer. who was no less dis
tinguished for his firtations than for his
forensic eloquence. In July, 1885, Berryer
was in love with married woman, who
had finally yielded to his suit, and the
lovers had arranged for meeting on the
italian frontier. It was necessary that the
swain should be able to travel to and re-.
turn from the rendezvous under an as
sumed name. Going to Theirs he confded
the situation to the Minister, who, on his
promise to keep the method in which he
had obtained it strictly secret, and not to
use it for any other purpose, gave him a
passport under another name. Armed with
this precious document, Berryer fastened
to Italy, and returned week later to hear,
as he changed horses at Chambery, the
postmaster say to the position

eyes, sir; he was assassinated yester-
day afternoon
Berryer, who had concealed the object
of his departure so artfully that Lamen-
nais had declared he was absent to consult
with and stirup the Legitimists, instantly
saw the embarrassment of his position.
Here he was posting back to Paris at the
very moment that Louis Philippe had been
assassinated, travelling under foreign
passport, fresh from week spent in a
nest of italian carbonari, and in honor
bound, if he went to the scaffold for it, to
make no explanations as to how he had OBJ
tanned his passport or on what errand he had
visited Italy. Fortunately the alarm was

TIE SCHOOL OF FORESTRY.
SAN FRAsoIsoo. August 5. 1851.
MORNING SESSION.

The "School of Forestry" or whatever
equivalent may be used in different coun-
tries, signifies an organization for the pnr-
pose of giving instruction in regard to all
that pertains to the growth OF trees, espe-
cially in masses, and their management,
including their natural history, their adapt
alton to the arts, and their influence upon
human welfare. It regards the forest in
altogether different light from that in
which it has been considered with us, or
in fact from that in which it has been con-
sidered in any country until within
comparatively recent period. Instead of
an accidental growth of trees, spared from
the general clearing of the ground, which
have been suffered to come up in hap
hazard sort of way, exposed to assault and
damage of various kinds, from insects,
from browsing cattle allowed to roam
freely among them, and from the careless
ness, If not the wanton waste, of man, the
forest is regarded as growth carefully
provided for, the conditions of its increase
are diligently studied beforehand, and all
means are used to develop it to the fullest
measure of its value according to the pur-
pose for which its cultivation has been un.
dertaken. In short, forestry looks upon
the growth of a piece of woods as we look
upon the growth of plants in garden, or
a crop in the field OF farmer, as the re-
suit both of science and art. Only it is a
nobler growth than these, and requires a
higher science and nicer art, inasmuch as
the trees measure their age by centuries
and not by months or seasons, as do the
ordinary crops of the garden and the field,
and because they have important relations,
controlling relations even to agriculture
itself, to climate, to commerce and the in
dustrial arts, and so to the highest inter-
ests of national life The work of forestry,
as understood in Europe, contemplates not
only the proper care of existing woodlands.
but the replanting of districts which have
been stripped OF their forests, and also the
planting of forests in new places, where
such planting may be advantageously done.
Schools of forestry have their origin in the
desire to accomplish this most successfully.

TREATMENT OF SUNsTRoKE.-S
was in many Cincinnati cases, during the
recent terrible heated term, treated with
hot water instead of cold. The following
directions were published by such ply
sicians as favored the plan: "Lay the
patient on his back loosen the clothing,
so as to encourage free flow of blood ex-
pose the chest, especially over the region
of the heart, and with large cloth, towel
or sponge freely bathe the head, face, neck
and chest with hot salt water, as hot as
can be handled, continually adding more
hot water. and applying it until the patient
is soft Use one teaspoonful of salt to
every quart of hot water. Have the feet
made bare and rubbed or slapped, and in
extreme cases apply mustard poultices.
Give internally, if temperate man, a
tablespoonful of whisky in hot water if a
drinking man, use little ammonia or
hartshorn in hot water; if soon after a
meal, put teaspoonful of yellow mustard
into glass of warm water and have the
patient drink it, following up with more
until he vomits freely. As he convalesces
give at first lime water and milk (one-
fourth lime water and three -fourths milk,
afterward liquid diet until the stomach is

DOGS IN THE LIFE-SAvING SERVICE.

A movement has been for some time in
agitation regarding the introduction of
Newfoundland dogs of the purest breed
into the Efe-saving service. 1t is singu-
larly happy thought. The great physical
strength and wonderful sagacity of these
interesting animals are acknowledged on all
hands, and the only wonder is that these
useful qualities have not been utilized be-
fore this time for the saving on grand
scale, of human life. Numerous and we'll
authenticated anecdotes of the intelligence
and faithfulness of dogs of the pure New
foun6land breed seem sometimes almost to
tax our credulity. The first line ever
brought to the shore from a wreck was
carried thither by one of these dogs. This
occurred in the latter part OF the last GEN.
tury, when vessel stranded on the Good
win Sands, on the coast of Kent, was thus
able to communicate with the shore, and
to save the lives of her human cargo.
In time of danger the Newfoundland is es-
pecially intuitive, sympathetic and ener-
getic. His affectionate nature seems then
to assume its highest development, and he
never shrinks from any task, however ar
duous, in which the safety of human life
is concerned. Again, he can be trained to
any daily or nightly duty with the certainty
that he will never shirk his work nor per-
form it grudgiuely or negligently. We
know of many Southern families who, in
the absence of their former faithful slave
nurses, keep Newfoundland dogs for the
express purpose of guarding the children,
keeping them out of danger, and saving
them in case of accident. A child cannot
drown who is under the care of a good
Newfoundland dog. We all know how St.
Bernard dogs are trained to hunt up travel
ers lost in the snow, to aid them if con-
scious, or if unconscious, to bring them help
at the earliest possible moment. Now, if
every life-saving station along our coast
were provided with one or more of these
powerful, sagacious and affectionate Great
ures. there is no doubt that many lives
would be saved which are now lost through
the limited scope of human endeavor.
These dogs can breast WAVES which would
be mortal terror to the best and strong
est human swimmer, and in which a boat
could not long exist, and the presence of
one of these animals would undoubtedly
inspire the surfmen with a greater courage
than they even now possess, though we
know that as class they are brave and
self.sacridcing to remarkable degree.

EUGENE SUE AND THEODORE oup1N.

Ernest Legouve tells some good stories
OF Eugene Sue-they had the same sister
but were not related to each other-and
the joyous band of practical jokers who
gathered around him In the atelier of The
odore Gudin, the painter. 1t was Gudin's
pupils who nearly drove one janItor mad
by visiting him daily at regular intervals to
ask him for locks of his hair, and terrified
the pastiere by lowering a skeleton down
the chimney to dance over her soup. kettle.
Another performance of merit was break
ing hole through the wall into neigh
boris chimney and stealing three chimney
sweeps. The first boy having disappeared,
a second was sent after him, and vanished,
and then a third, and popular riots and a
belief that the enemy was in the chimney
were only avoided by the sage reflection of
the Commissary of Police that Gudn's
studio was in the adjoining house. An
other meritorious performance was to at
tend weddings in deep mourning and with
melancholy cast of countenance, and,
taking up a position near the altar, burst
into heart-rending sobs during the cere-
m1ny.
But the most atrocious of these mystif-
cations was made at the expense of lady
who had ordered panel of eiudin sor her
salon and sent him note urging him to
come and see the room before painting IT.
Sue prevailed apon Gudin to let him an
swer it in person renewed his visit and
made such violent love to the lady that one
day she expressed her desire to see his
studio.
" Certainly 4; come Tomorrow atsnoon."
At noon comes the lady aud finds the
studio with single occupant before his
easel.

says The Russian Court made its recent

of an extensive conspiracy for the assassin
alton Of the Imperial family. Duriugt the night
at Peterof the police on the 9th of July
stopped boat which had succeeded in pass
ing the guard ships, and arrested the occu-

sixty persons, some of high rank. were in
volved in the plot.
