The Press Gang.

Privates in the United States military service who have disappeared from San Francisco without leaving any trace of their whereabouts are now supposed to have been kidnapped by press gangs for service on English vessels. A private named McGuire was thus treated re- gently. He was piled with drugged drink, taken aboard British ship, and when he came to his senses was informed that he had agreed to go along on a voyage to Cork as 8 man before the mast. His efforts to communicate with his officers ashore were fruitless until he fastened letter to 8 piece of wood and threw it aboard passing steamer. The letter reached it's destination, and caused the mans release through the interfer- ence of Government officials and the British Consul.

Something to Live For.

It has been asserted by scientific sur- geons that the will-power of sick man has 8 great deal to do with his dying, and the case of Charles O'Conor is cited as evidence.
 A still stranger case occurred in Michigan the past summer. An old man, living in the northern part of the State, got out lot of timber many years ago for tolI-road company, but the company failed and left him in the lurch.
 For years and years he tried to sell the timber to this one or that, but nc one wanted it, and at last time and de, cay rendered the beams almost worth less. Last summer the supervisors oi that company advertised for proposals to build bridge, and the old man put in bid. While waiting to see what would be done he was taken very sick, and he grew worse so rapidly that g council of doctors was held. After due deliberation he was informed that he was approaching his end.
 "When will I know about that bridge ?" he coolly asked.
 'The bids will be opened to-day"
 "Well, I'll send John over to see who gets the job, and my living or dying will depend on his news."
 At five o'clock in the afternoon the son and the family physician arrived in company. The old man was neither better nor worse.
 "Well ?" he asked, as John ap. preached.
 "Our bid was accepted, father"
 "And we've got the job ?"
 "Yes: but the doctor says you cant live."
 "I can't, eh? I'm not only going te live to build that bridge, but I'm going to work that square timber into it up te the last foot, or my name isn't John Rogers"
 It is fact, vouched for by dozen good men, that he was off that dying bed in @ week, and in less than a fort. night he was at work on the bridge.- Detroit Free Press.

REVENGE. most ludicrous case of vengeance was that heaped upon the devoted head of MT. Beresford, the Dublin banker and member of ParIia- ment. During the rebellion that occurred while he was member, he made him. self exceedingly obnoxious by bringing many of the rioters to punishment and they resolved to be revenged upon him so, whenever, and wherever, they
 cbanced to come across any of his bank notes-and his bank had issued great many - they destroyed them. Their cry was-' We'll ruin the rascal Let every note of his ye can find be given to the flames !" And it was supposed that, during the rebellion, the bank gained over twenty thousand pounds sterling by the destruction of it's notes.

The Penn Costume.

The costume provided for the indi- vidual who represents Penn in the cele- bration at Philadelphia, and which is supposed to be an exact reproduction of the founders style of dress, is thus de- scribed: "The coat, with long skirts square cut, is of rich brown velvet, and reaches to point just below the knees, It is elaborately looped with pearl colored braid that serves at once for button holes and adornment, and has buttons of silvered bronze. The side pockets they made pockets in those days capable of carrying provisions for a week-are square cut, and profusely embroidered outwardly, and around the
 breast and the collar are sundry spangles of gold and silver that are essentially un-Quakerlike in their brilliancy. Be- meath the coat, which is to be worn open in front, is vest of pearl-colored satin, lined throughout with pearl silk. It reaches to point midway between the knee and the thigh, and is bound at the waist by heavy scarf of crimson satin. Its buttons are close together, and are of bronzed silver. The trunks are of the same stuff as the coat, and are fastened at the knees by bright ribbons tied in liberal bow. Pearl colored stockings, with low-cut shoes adorned by diamond buckles, complete the COS tune, except as to the head. The hat of plain black felt is absolutely the only
 article destitute of adornment, but even this has more rakish set and dressy appearance than the stiff, broad brimmed tiles affected by Quakers of to-day"

SLAUGHTER OF PRISONERS.
The Wounded Egyptians in Their
 Trenches,

The correspondent of the Cologne Gazette in Egypt writes from Cairo :- "Herr Jansen, the correspondent of the Stockholm Dagblad, saw with his own eyes how the Egyptians wounded in the trenches of Tel-el-Kebir, half an hour after the attack, were killed by English soldiers. He counted eight wounded, incapable of offering any re- sistance, who were shot in his presence, and oue who was stabbed.
 "Lieutenant Colonel Turneisen, 8 native of Austria, and one of those of ficers in the Egyptian service who, by way of taking part in the operations, were attached to the English head quarters, also witnessed the slaughter of the wounded in helpless condition. He saved the lives of several. Two other persons have told me the same story, but begged me, for fear of jeopardizing their livelihood by conflict with the English, to withhold their names.
 "By none of the numerous English officers with whom I have spoken on the subject has the killing of the wound ed been contradicted. Many admitted it, saying, however, that they could do nothing to prevent it. Colonel Meth uen, to whom I spoke lately at head quarters, admitted it, but strove to tone it down and frowned when spoke of murder He ironically remarked that the soldiers could not ask every wound ed man whether he would perhaps fire at a better opportunity. The soldiers were carried away by the heat of the fight and spared nobody. This explana- tion is only partly correct, for only 8 small portion of the wounded, judging from what have heard, were killed in the heat of the battle, the greater part being murdered long afterward by plum dering English soldiers. The English people and English Parliament would do we'll to look into the subject"
 The same correspondent tells several stories of plumber by the British sol diers. M. de Boissy, the correspondent of the Temps, happening to put on the helmet of an Egyptian soldier, having lost his own, was seized by some of the Bengal cavalry and robbed of money, watch, revolver and field glass, which they would not give up after the mis- take was discovered.
 Herr Jansen and himself were robbed of all their luggage left behind at Kas- sassin, and General Havelock-Allan's luggage was plundered and G35 in money stolen by English soldiers. At all the railway stations the English sol diers in dozens are pressing the pas sengers to buy Egyptian weapons and clothes This the correspondent ascribes to the indulgence of the officers, who probably think that 8 soldier, after bravely fought battle, must have extra pay, Cor it must rot be forgotten that the English army is composed of mer- ceDaries."
 Another allegation of this correspond ent is that the burial of the dead has been performed in most careless man. ner :-
 "Only the bodies of English soldiers have been properly inferred, 8 few handfuls of sand merely having been thrown over the Egyptian bodies, so that heads, arms and legs lie uncov- cred. Carcasses of horses and camels have not been buried at all. And yet there is no lack of hands which might be employed to bury all the bodies properly"

Bad OdOrs.

A writer on odors and their recog- milton, in the Journal of Science, says -'"Take an OK, sheep, or goat to 8 country where the flora is strange, and he will browse upon plants analogous in odor with those which have formed his food in his native land. But when ever he perceives strange effluvium given of, he avoids the plant as doubt full" A superfuous bear at the Paris Zoo had a bun with prussia acid on it given him. But Bruin was not to be caught that way. He pushed it into the water, and not until the odor was entirely gone did he eat it. The poison had then lost it's force. Animals have pronounced tastes in odors. The literal in ''fine frenzy rolling" of the cat in catnip is notorious, while the pard and panther grow amiable beneath the in- fuence of lavender water.

The Use of Tobacco by Boys.

The use of tobacco by boys, the Med acat Reporter says, Is so generally rec ognized as pernicious that it is extra ordinary that more strenuous measures are not urged upon those having the care of youth to prevent the habit. Al. ready it has been prohibited in the United States Naval Academy, at An napolis in the United States Military Academy, at West Point in the Phil lips Exeter Academy, New Hampshire, and in various other enlightened edu- cational institutions.
 This was not the result of prejudice or hobbyism. If any set of men are free from these vices of learning, it is the naval surgeons, and it was especial ly from them, and particularly from Dr. A. l.. Gihon, United States Navy, that this attack upon the weed began. The indictment laid against it charged That it leads to impaired nutrition of the nerve centres; that it is fertile cause of neuralgia, vertigo, and indiges- lAOu hAdb At 1TT1bdtoS bu0 uOuGu duu throat, and thus destroys the purity of the voice; that, by excitation of the optic nerve, it produces amaurosis and other defects of vision that it causes a tremulous hand snd an intermittent pulse that one of it's conspicuous effects is to develop irritability of the heart ; that it retards the cell change on which the development of the adolescent de- bends.
 This is formidable bill of particulars, and yet each of these charges is pre- ferred by the bestmodern authority, ..and what is more, each is substantiated by an abundance of clinical evidence. Tes- timony is also adduced from the class records of schools and colleges, which indicate very positively that the effect of tobacco on the mental faculties is de- teriorating. The best scholars are not tobacco users non-smokers take the highest rank in every grade and wheth- CT we look at the exceptionally brilliant students, or compare the average of those who use or those who refrain from tobacco, the result shows the same.

Austrian Children.

Although Austrian law fixed no maxi mum of labor for adults 1t is rigorous as to children. Under ten they may not work in any species of factory, and from ten to twelve only when armed with municipal permit, granted by re- quest of parent or guardian. To get this permit it must be shown that the work will be in an industrial school or of kind compatible with schooling. The authorities reserve the right of de. ciding whether or no the work is suita. ble for child. It's duration, too, is strictly regulated.

To FILL NEwsPAPER.-Iti is 8 com- mon fallacy among the general public that it must be very difficult matter to find news to fill each days paper. So far from this being the case, the inge- nuity of editors and sub editors is con- tinually on the stretch to find space for even selection of the most important news at their disposal. In the office of leading daily newspaper there is often more matter thrown into the waste bas- ket, or struck out of manuscripts, than would suffice to fill the paper.
