THERE are from ten TO twelve thousand
exils sent to Siberia annually, and Of
this number about one-half Of one per
cent. are political offenders. The rest
are ordinary feIons. Only eight per
cent. of the exiles are sentenced to hard
labor. On an average 400 women aud
children accompany each 1000 exiles,
and 1000 Of the convicts escape yearly
to European Russia. The exiles are not
nowadays driven in miserable gangs to a
waste region, but carried comfortably to
a comparatively fertile country. The
highest sentence is twenty years at hard
labor, which is the penalty for murder /;
the lowest is four years Of banishment.

He mad Recorered His Siam.

Madame Blank was woman remark
able for her social and tout-aJ;o indus
trial assiduity. She utilized every mo-
inent Of her time in such a way as was
best suited to herself. Among her many
admirers and visitors she numbered one
old friend who was totally blind, and
whom she always entertained In her own
boudoir. Oftener than not, when her
pressing duties demanded rapid change
Of attire, she would call In the services
Of her maid and proceed with her toilet,
the while eOnversing with her blind
friend, who, 1t is needless to say, was all
unconscious Of the mysterious wonders
being transacted in his presence. Upon
one occasion when he called he inquired
whether he would be received upstairs,
and sent message to the mistress, stat
ing that he had piece Of good news for
her. Lead Monsieur, as usual, to my
boudoir," was the lady's order, which
order was Immediately complied with.
She was not en- toilette for visitors, to be
sure, but he could not see, and the maid
WIS busy enough repairing the rayages
Of time for the benefit of those who
could see. "Ah, my dear madam" ex-
claimed the gentleman, as he entered,

and he was hastening to tell her In what
way when she interrupted him with
some social iottings Of her own, and
kept up such stream Of conversation,
and was SO occupied with the CLEAN Of
her white arms in the mirror. that she
neither observed her friends evident
confusion nor gave him an opportunity
TO speak. Finally an interval came she
turned TO him, expectantly, and said {:
/" Now, my friend, for your coed news. /"
He lowered his head and assured her it
was nothing. " Nothing r she ex-
claimed, at the same time noting his
perturbed manner. Nothing" he an
swered, " Except that, my dear madam,

HERE is something Of interests to pa
irons of old laces: "There is regular
trade in New York in the department Of
old lace. Machine-made points are
bought and sl1illfully fastened to pieces
Of genuine antiques. The entire fabric
is then colored in solution Of coffee or
saffron, and sold for real seventeenth
century product at a high price" An
interesting historical legend is hooked
onto the article, to add weight to its
value.

About Mourning.

Speaking about the custom Of wear
ing mourning concerning which there
are many conflicting opinions a writer
saws: 'fWhy mourning should be worn
at all, except at funeral, | do not under
stand. A near and dear relative dies.
One may deeply regret the loss, but, as
it is irreparabie, it is the part Of wisdom,
which seeks to make the best Of every
thing, to endeavor TO forget it as soon as
possible. Why, then, wear for a lengthy
time q garb that brings back its recollcc-
tions? A person who is ruined might
with equal sense walk about for several
months with an empty cash box affixed

RESPECTING Queen Victoria, and the
high esteem which England holds for her
as sovereign, the London Lancet has
this to say:
ut is no mere figure Of speech to say the
Queen lives in the hearts Of those she rules
over. Itis, therefore, not in the least surpris
ing that the notification Of her Maiesty's
projected visit to Mentone should have excited
much remark and given rise to some anxieties
We believe we are justified in stating that
while there is need for the change, there is no
cause for concern as to the health Of tho
sovereign. 1t seems to have been forgotten
that the Queen is no mere nominal head Of this
Empire. Actual and heavy State business
passes iaiiy through her hands and taxes her
attention severely. Her Majosty has never
been in the habit Of attaching her sign manual
TO unread papers. She assembled the throne in
times Of difficulty and with a strong sense Of
duty and responsibility imposed upon her, and
during tho heightened period which has elapsed
since her accession the Queen has given large
share of her attention to public business. Sue
ccssiye Ministries have been formed, borne the
heat Of the day and fallen, leaving their per-
sonne to seek and find relief and recreation in
retirement but the Queen has never been free
from the burden Of State, since first she wore
the crown. 1t is real burden her Majesty bears,
burden, care and anxiety, and no'human
being could fail to feel the continuous strain
the bearing OF such burden necessarily pro
duces. These facts should not be forgotten.
The need for change Of scene and climate Just
now is great. but not in any sense ominous."

CHRISTOPHER HEIDENBERa, wealthy
German living near Indianapolis. Ind.
has had five wives, from two Of whom
he has been divorced and three died.
His last wife died a few days ago under
peculiarly distressing circumstances.
She had been sick for some time, and bv
reason of neglect, latterly grew worse
very fast, the brutal husband refusing
meantime to employ medical aid or topper
init kindly disposed neighbors to ad-
minister to the dying woman's wants
Upon the evening Of her death. when
Heidenberg came into the house. his
little girl told him to call in some Of the
neighbors as her mother was choking to
death, but instead of complying with the
child's request the man sat down to his
supper with the utmost indifference. and
whilst he was eating his meal, the woman
died. The excuse which the brute after
wards offered was, that the woman was no
account to him anyhow. Heidenberg
owns considerable property in the county
and in the city Of Indianapolis. 1t is a
pity that there is no redress for outraged
humanity in cases of such criminal
neglect.

WASHINGTON, d. O., November 26.
w. 81 Shellenberger is a Republican
member of Congress from the TWEEN
ty-fourth district of Pennsylvania.
He is of Quaker ancestry and of a
thrifty nature. He has worked his
Office for all it is worth. His son is
a cadet at the Naval Academy. His
brother is superintendent of the
Washington Reform School. He
was defeated in a contest for a res
nomination. Since he has been in
Congress, he has done what he could
to aid the business of a relative nam
ed Eberhard, who is pension agent,
and who is now suspended from dos
ing business with the pension Office
on account of Legitimate practices.
Shellenberger served in the war, and

known in his district that he got the
money, he did not draw it through
the local agent, but came here and
got paid at the central Office. T1ere
are quite a number of Republican
members of Congress who are pen
sioners.

A HerO's Death.
New Orleans Picayune.

ed and dashed up Carondelet street,
dragging the heavy float, used to re-
move iron safes, behind them. Two
little boys were in the street, SO in>
terested in their play that they did
not notice the team and were una
ware of their danger. John Metz
Ter, blacksmith, saw the boys when
the animals were almost upon them.
He sprang into the street, seized one
of the boys and threw him out of
harms way. The other boy, aged
ID years, named Dan Bowling, he
next seized. The horses were upon
them, but the heroic man thrust him
out of the reach of the horses, while
the wheels on the heavy vehicle just
grazed his side, only slightly ininr>
ing him. Metzler, however, was
struck on the head by the pole OF
the wagon, and fell, the wheels of
the float passing over his stomach.
He received such severe internal in
iuries that he expired at IL o'clock.
