A New York clergyman, in sermon
on courtship and marriage, said he be.
lieved that "there is mate for every
one if they will but wait until the right
one comes along" The female portion
of his congregation who have passed
two-score years said they never heard
such nonsense, and the man didn't know
what he was talking about. If the
right one dosen't come along before a
woman reaches forty the chances are
nine in ten that he is showed under, OF
dead, or worse still married to the wrong
woman. -Norristow Herald.

WHY this unwarranted reticence on
the part of little Johnny Davenport
Some time ago he announced that he
had not only found, but that he
could and would produce, the author OF
the Morey letter. As yet he has done
nothing of the kind-that is he has not
produced him; it may be that he finds ii
impossible for him to emulate orphans
and living people back from the other
world.

A strange story of duel comes from
Poland. a short time ago two young
fellows, journeymen bronzesmiths, We're
sitting in small Warsaw cafe, playing
dominoes A glass half full OF liquor
stood on the table between them, and
one or two of their fellow workmen were
looking onat the game with evident inter-
est. There was little in the appearance
OF the group to attract especial attention
still less to suggest the improbable no.
ton that the four youths composing it
were two duellists and their seconds, or
that the stake of the domino match was
a human life. Presently, however, the
game having come to conclusion, the
younger of the two players, a lad of Is,
named Stanislaus Julian, lifted the glass
to his lips and drank off its contents at
a draught. Five minutes later he was q
corpse. The wretched boys had quar-
relied and agreed to fight duel in such
sort that the death of one or the other
must ensue. Having placed themselves
in the hands of two seconds, the latter
arranged that their principals should
play "set" of three games at domi-
noes, upon the solemn understanding
that the loser should swallow dose of
the deadliest poison procurable. This
hideous compact was carried out to the
letter, nor did any of the surviving per-
sons concerned it it, when Intercepted
by the police authorities, before whom
they were subsequently brought, betray
the least remorse for their share in the
CHASTITY transaction. Julian's adversary,
indeed, boldly avowed that, had he lost
the match, he would have fulfilled his
pledge to drink the poison as faithfully
as had his dead antagonist; and the Sec
onds protested that they had only "done
their duty" in seeing the duel fairly
fought out according to the conditions
settled beforehand.

said eagerly: "Ahl my boyl it's thirty

the shoulder; "did he get too fresh with
the ringmaster, and did the ringmas-
ter crack him on the legs with the

"No, my boy. Twas thirty years

man went back and begged on his knees
for only one more nights shelter. 1t was

crept to the bureau-drawer, obtained the
deed, and burned it up. The light from
the flames awakened the son, who, realiz-
ing that the game had turned and all
was lost, piteously begged for mercy;
but the old man threw him out of doors,
got constable to remove his furniture,
and again took possession of the estate. y

HANDS AND BRAINS.

We recently called attention, says the
Alta Californian, to the number of Amer
leans who were adopting law as pro-
fession,- hopelessly, foolishly and as
rapidly as the wouId-be naval graduates
are passing their examination at An
napolis Let the young men of this
state understand that in its present con-
dition it has ten times more lawyers,
doctors, architects, ministers and So
called professional men than it wants.
If young man wants good advice, let
him be assured that unless he has ex-
ceptional talent, unless he is unusually
brilliant and possessed of phenomenal
cleverness, he had far better turn his at
tention to the industries and trades of
California than the high-toned literary
and scientific walks In life. He can cul-
tiYate fruit vines, barley, oats and wheat,
corn, lemons, lines, oranges and ba-
nanas, turnips, carrots, onions, beets,
tobacco, sugar, sorghum, caulifowers
end potatoes, while he will starve while
he is waiting for brief, a house to
build, ship to command, leg to patch
mp or soul to shrive. We are not alone
IN our opinion.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat said
recently: In Boston week ago there
we're admitted to the bar on one day 113
new lawyers, all of them graduates of
the law school. These 113 people are
all supposed to be going into practice in
a city where there are already nearly
/ 1900 lawyers, out of whom one-fourth at
least are starving walters on Providence,
and more than three-fourths of the re-
mainder get very small incomes. Yet
these young fellows-by the by, one of
them is a lady-hope to 60 into the work
-and-win ways that will keep them as
gentlemen! This is somewhat extreme
illustration of very disagreeable fact.
But even in st. Louis the evil is great.
Every term of court sees a number of
young men examined and licensed, and
every term of the law school adds num-
Der more. It would be much more to
the benefit of the community if one half
of such as these were sent to the farm or
the workshop, or better still, if their
parents would educate them to some one
or other Of the mechanical or chemical
sciences; to understand engineering, or
electricity, or machine building, or the
properties of steam. The young men
would be richer and happier, and the
community would be vastly benefited by
the change.

Egyptian Soldiers.
from the Spectator


Col. Dye has much say concerning the
fighting capacity of the fellahin, and see
ing that he speaks from experience, gained
both in the barrack and the field, his
structures possess at present moment
more than ordinary value. His estimate
of the Egyptian peasants solderly apti-
tr1de is very low. Though gifted with a
wonderful power of physical endurance,
and docile and a good campaigner, the
fellah is neither combative nor intelh-
gent, has not spark of patriotism, dis
likes andsdistrusts his officers, and hates
soldering with so intense a hatred that,
IN order to avoid it, he Will often cut off
one of his fingers or put out one of his
eyes. When Col. Dye was In Egypt the
artillery, as well as the cavalry, consist
ed exclusively of fellahins. The gun
ners were taken from a class superior to
that which supplied recruits to the other
arms of the service. The officers, more
over, were better instructed than their
brethren of the line. an advantage which
they owed tho the exertions Of the COM
mandant of the artillery school, a highly
ing of this Frenchman probably, the
stout defense made the other day by the
forts at Alexandria is in some measure
due. A great drawback to the efficiency
of the fallah as a fighting man is the
shortness of his sight, resulting from
ophthalmia. So defective is the vision
of Egyptian soldiers, says Col. Dye, that
hardly any of them can see further
through a rife sight than few rods.
The eyes of the black soldier are better.
Under the same conditions he can mark
80 or 40 per cent, more hits than his
Egyptian cCmrade. This superior shoot
ing may, however, be in part due to the
negro's greater nerve, confidence, and
eagerness to excel. The black regiments,
being differed exclusively by Egyptians,
are in no way better organized than the
other regiments; albeit, the negroes be-
ing Injured from childhood to war and the
chase, they make far better fighting ma
terial than the fellahins. With the ex-
ception of a few who have risen from the
ranks, the higher officers are the descen-
dants of Turkish fathers and Circassian
mothers. They are generally sufficient
ly brave, but cruel, avaricious, corrupt,
and fearfully immoral, mentally inert,
and physically lazy. The younger regi-
mental and staff officers are, for the most
part, the sons of pashas and beys In
government service, trained in the mill
tary schools established by Ismail. They
are inferior, morally and physically, to
the men they command.

ings, has already forced itself upon the
attention not only of the medical profess
sion, but of economists in general. The
extension of the system advocated
in high quarters, in order to pro-
vide adequately for the insane, TO
general hospitals intended for the re-
ception and treatment of the sick
poor, appears to be the only feasible
means of establishing adequate hospital
accommodations in towns of moderate
wealth and population, where at the
present time no facilities whatever are
in existence. The system will probably
be adopted In New England at an early
date, and will solve q problem as re-
spects the large manufacturing villages
that have sprung up on all the available
water-courses within the last thirty

solution and gives no little anxiety to

cal profession.
