Shot Down by Jealous Sentry.

The following account of sad acci- dent, which is said to have occurred Saturday at Peterhof, Russia, is circu- lating in St. Petersburg. The Emperor was out walking in the park, and for some reason or other became interested in the operations of several workmen, or gardeners, who were at work at some distance off. His Majesty appears to have beckoned to one of the workmen to come up to him, intending to speak to the man, and perhaps ask some ques- tions. The workman noticed. the sign, threw down his tools, and ran toward the Emperor.
 When only step or two from his Majesty's person he fell dead at the Czar's feet, shot by a sentry close at hand, who had not seen the Emperor call the man, and who had imperative orders tc fire on any strangers approaching the Emperor. His Majesty, it is said, helped to lift up the body, and showed the bitterest grief. The wife and family of the unfortunate man are to be thor. oughly cared for.

Mrs. LivermOre's Shot,

"Women are so frivolous, so fond of dress, parade and show that they would make of government an everlasting spectacular drama" says man.
 Possibly retorts Mrs. Livermore, ''but I cannot remember ever to have seen women walking delightedly, for hours, in 8 torchlight procession, through muddy streets, amid the thun- dering of cannon, the fash of rockets, and the blaze of colored lights. I think I have never seen them parading by daylight, clad in bits of abbreviated aprons, ornamented, as to the shoul- ders, in what seemed exaggerated horse collars, their heads supporting an inf nite amount of fuss and feathers,' and their padded coats over their swelling bosoms nearly bursting with ecstatic delight as they caught admiring glances from the other sex in balconies and at chamber windows"

A Mothers Love.
Aiuo mo khn child n

"Give me the child l'
 As Beryl McOloskey spoke these words she looked into the face of Vivian Fairhope, the man to whom two years agone she had given the most precious treasure of woman's life, her love, and ID the delicate lines of her lovely face there was an expression that told more plainly than could words of deep re- solve the woman had taken.
 Little Beatrice had been uneasy all the day, and now that the summer day was drawing to close, and the long lines of rosy light that streamed up from below the western horizon seemed to rest like a benediction upon the heated earth. She was crying in the querulous, impatient way that brings alarm to mothers heart. Vivian handed the child to Beryl. ''What are you going to do, darling 2'' he said.
 Looking at him with deep brown eyes, from which gleamed passionate love-light, Beryl said, in tones of thrill ling tenderness:
 "I am going to spank 1t dizzy"

The Summer Excursion.

Among the causes that lead to human action none are more obscure than those which induce benevolent associations, military organizations and other such bodies, not to speak of Sunday-schoels and unclassified congregations of per sons, to go off on ''excursions' in the summer. The programme of these festive itineraries is generally without variation, and strictly conforms to cer- tain unwritten but well-understood rules. In the case of an association, like the Masons or Odd Fellows, train of cars, usually the oldest and dirtiest in the control of the railway corpora tion, is engaged /; the members of the organization equip themselves in the heaviest sort of uniforms, and, after marching through town, go aboard they are then dragged slowly over the country until they reach town where similar association awaits them |; here tiiey alight, and march through the streets for an hour or two under 8 sweltering sun, and are afterward regaled on cold coffee, dry sandwiches and dryer speeches in some public hall and finally they return to the train and gc home and march through their owr streets again, and finally get into bed half dead from exhaustion. And yet there are people who think this sort o thing is fun, and perhaps it is, although the uninitiated can't perceive it.-Bos to1 Journal.

A Story of Custer.

"The first time Gen. Custer ever saw a buffalo, says newspaper corre- spondent, "I was with him. He had been very anxious to get his first shot at one, and talked of nothing else for some days. We were in the region where the Topeka, Atchison and Santa Fe' Rail way now runs when we sighted the first herd. Custer was mounted on beau tiful Kentucky mare, for which he had paid $3, ,O0O, and of which he was very proud, while I rode an Indian pony. There they are,' I said to h1m, and without 8 word, but in great state of excitement. he put spurs to his mare and was off like the wind. I followed some distance in the rear, and soon lost sight of them in swale Ca hollow). When came up Custer was lying on the ground about twenty feet ahead of the mare. I picked him up little dazed by his fall, and we went back to the mare. She was dead. Custer had drawn his revolver, and, seized with buck fever in h1s excitement and trepi- dation, instead of hitting buffalo, had sent his bullet crashing through the mare's brain, shooting her just behind the ear,"

Sick Children.

It is better to take your child to the doctor unnecessarily than to postpone this duty and find that it is too late. A few hours in the diseases of children may make all the difference between hopeful and hopeless cases.
 When YOU take counsel of doctor give him your explicit confidence. Do not permit any friend-even though the friend be an experienced old mother and nurse-to disturb confidence in the doc- tor. Follow no advice that is against what he has said. Ifyou lose confidence in him get another physician.
 When a child is old enough to know what you mean, never threaten it with the doctor. It may be very important some day that your child should not be frightened at the doctor, but regard him as friend and helper.
 A sick child demands nursing moth CT, who has tact, patience, hrmness, added to her affection. With these sc much can be done; without them the battle may be hopeless from the first.
 It is asserted that every year 3, ,OOC children die Ill New York who need not die if proper care were taken of them. High heated terms have much to dc with these deaths. Every hour that { young child is exposed to temperature above 85 or 98 degrees, in a crowded neighborhood, it is robbed of vitality High heat acts injuriously on it's blood nerve and muscle-cells, and also on tn' digestive system of the child and thu milk of nursing mother. High hea does more-it decomposes all organic refuse and dirt in houses and abou them, and poisons air, water, food clothing, bedding, etc. Hence the nees of excursions for children and of clean iness at home.

 -Arabi Pasha has sent the captive midshipman, De Chair, to Cairo, where he is comfortably lodged.
 Some of the Canadian journals are indulging in erowl against the London Times for criticising so severely as it did the action of the Dominion Parlia- ment in pointing out to Gladstone the propriety of granting home rule for Ire land.
 -Arabi has instructed the Bedouins on the Suez Canal to obey M. de Les seps.
 The Khedive has authorized the English to occupy as much of the Sue2 Canal as they think necessary for the expulsion of the rebels. l In the French Chamber of Deputies M. de Freycinct proposed the vote of credit for Egyptian expenses, declaring g that it was question of confidence in the Cabinet. The Chamber at once re- jected the credit by vote of 450 to 76. All the Ministers thereupon rendered their resignations.
 It is said that the Turkish expedi- tio4 to Egypt will consist of 12, 900 men.
 -Arabi Pasha is said to have pro- posed terms of peace, offering to retire from Egypt to an Arabian or Syrian monastery.
 Turkey has consented to send troops to Egypt immediately, but desired that the English troops be withdrawn.
