THAT is strange story which comes from
France about the alleged conspiracy against
the political institutions of the country,
which is said to be spread over the length
and breadth of the land. The reports are
so far from being precise that it is difficult
to discover what the conspiracy is all about
or what is the Interior object of the conspir-
ators; but the inference is that the move
ment is akin in its spirit to the NihiIist
movement in Russia, and If SO, it has no
chance of being formidable. In a country
where property is Sc equally distributed as it
is in France, those who would destroy the
foundations Of society have little chance of
sesurng much support.

Howells' Novel in England.
New York Tribune1

Mr.. Howells is rapidly becoming an English
celebrity. Known to a considerable audience
he has long been; but not to the many. The
Times the other day proclaimed him as the
true type of the American novelist; him and
not Mr. Henry James, jr., since Mr.. Henry
Jamess American genius had undergone a
sea change and became more or less European. -
European possibly, but certainly not English,
will take leave to add, for the delicate charm,
the subtlety, the art sense which distinguish
Mr.. Jamess novels are the rarest OF qualities
among English contemporary writer's How
ever, here now is Mr.. Howells' set on a ped
estal by the journal which once could have
made him known and seen of all men. 1t is
perhaps not less to the purpose that the En-
glsh or rather the Scotch publisher has taken
him up. "A Modern Instance" appears this
week in two volumes and is announced in the
stereotyped phrase as to be had at all libraries
And Mr.. Howells' other novels are also adver-
tised by the same house as issued with the
sanction of the author; meaning hope, that
he reaps his due profit from these English edi-
tions. Something of this sudden fame may be
due TO Mr.. HowelPS presence in London, and
to tho acquaintance with him which few
people had the pleasure of making. A few,
say, because Mr.. Howells saw fit to come to
London just after most of those who would
naturally most want to see him had left it, and
were dispersed about the world. Some few of
the BEST who stayed behind for reasons suffi-
cient to them, were rewarded SO they say, by
this unexpected chance OF discovering this
new American; new to London, that is, or to
them. AS for Mr.. Howels, hear he found
the inequalities of this dead season so pleas
antly burdeDsome to him as to interfere with
his work. He has fled to France, accordingly,
there, let us hope, to be interfered with no
more,

PUTTING Up a Job,

From the New York World
Each new conner at Paris studio is
put through "a course of sprouts " before
he is admitted to full fellowship. The
latest practical joke as follows:
The new conner on entering the studio
and proceeding to select seat is in
formed by the senior of the corps that
he has been the subject of an important
wager.
What wager?"
GA bet has been made that you would
not open your box of colors. / have taken
is because [ am sure you will. F"
'But why did they bet I wouldn't?"
" That [ can't say, but they say you
daren't, but [ know you will. "
"I'l soon show you that I will. :"
Draws key from his pocket, and
approaches. the box. The others start
back anxiously.)
9 What have you fellows been putting
in this box"
(No answer. They slowly retreat.)
g know you are only trying to fool
me.
He thrusts the key into the key-hole.
With wild shrieks of alarm half the stu
dents throw themselves on the floor,
and the others dash to the door and fly
down stairs.
The novice drops the box In panic,
and flies after them, AS soon as they
have all reached the street he is informed
that there was nothing in the box.

A Practical Enoch Arden.

After an absence of thirteen years
from his wife and home, William Sny-
der returned last week to West Chester,
Pa. Like Enoch Arden, he came back
to find that his wife was happily mar
RED to another man, but, unlike Enoch
Arden, he did not peer gloonnily into the
window, and, beholding her happiness,
retire broken-hearted man. On the
contrary, he walked into the house, in
troduced himself to his former partner,
informed her that he was about to marry
a Boston woman, and induced her to
sign paper, with her present husbands
consent, agreeing not to interfere with
his second matrimonial alliance. For
his part he promised never to set foot in
West Chester again; and, when this
cheerful bargain had been contaminated,
he withdrew in the best of spirits and
started for Boston.

SCORPIONS,
From the London Field

It is wonder one doesn't hear of more
scorpion 5stings, considering how album
dant these pernlciOus insects are IN near
ly every tropical and SUBJ tropical coun-
try. They are fairly hardy, too, and viii
survive much greater degree cold than
centipedes. One morning, when [ mad
just returned from q voyage and was re-
packing some things III my bedroom at
the hotel in Southampton, lively. Wig
orous scorpion fell out of shell upon
foot; luckily, it rolled off, and the carpet
received the emphatic tap of it's tail
which was intended as delicate atten-
ton to myself. A bath sponge seems to
be their favorite haunt, and it always be-
hooves one to carefully examine that ar
ticle before getting into ones tub in re-
gions where these little pests abide. I
think dozen were killed in my cabin
during one rtnight-brought there, no
doubt, In box of Espirito Santo or
child from Panama. Cargoes of COR,
bales of medicinal woods, punches of
bananas, and other fruits and vegetables
in bulk, often introduce them on board
vessels, and in old wooden ships especi-
ally they will remain, and colonize the
bulkheads and ipterspaces. [ got a nip
once, and only once Walking along
the maindeck of a steamer lying In Rio de
Janiero, loading up with coffee, being
bare footed and in the dark, trod, as |
thought, upon piece of glass; but,
drawing my foot up instinctively, I felt
the tickling of scorpions feet upon my
heel. 1t seemed to bave curled mp after
it's tail. The local symptoms were about
equal in intensity to the bite of COM
mon vipor or the sting of a maribunda,
but with less constitutional arrangement;
the ulcer was long time in healing,
however. There is a CHASTITY story told of
gentleman in Indiana, who, pulling on
his boots one morning felt a horrid
prickly object in one of them. With
great presence of mind, instead of with
drawing it he forced his foot violently
down and stamped it furiously, though
enduring exquisite agony In the process.
But it was not a centipede, only small
backing brush left their by a careless
servant. The Psylli of Pliny and other
historians, as well as their modern de-
cendents, who swallow live scorpions,
and carry them in their caps next their
shaven crowns, probably deprive them
first of means of doing harm, as they
serve the venomous serpents with which
they juggle, by bunting their stings. It
is, nevertheless, very easy,t to hold 3 scor-
pion, and possibly to handlethem freely,
when accustomed to them. See. how
some people can pull about wild rats and
bees and ferrets without injury, though
taking no apparent precaution. Manip-
ulation of snakes, too, only requires a
little observance of their weak points
and respect for their prejudices, which
one glides into insensibly by habit

And yet know, elsewhere,
Some other shore, as fair.

Bright sunshine, cleaning on my cottag wall,
Tracing the shadow of an ivy-spray,
How tenderly thy golden touches 1all
On common things to-day
Yet beneath other skies
Some land benighted lies,
Deserted by thy glory, cold and gray.

An eager love-song passionate and shrill,
NV heart is trembling and summer leaves
With sweet, responsive thrill;
Yet far away, deer guest,
There is an empty nest
Which thou hast left forsaken, void and still.
Fair sea, bright sunshine, bird of song divine,
/ too may loose the tide, the light, the lay;
Others may win the kisses that were mine,
My night may be their day;
Yet though the soul may sigh
For precious things gone by, -
shall have had my rapture, come what may!

The Toad Catching Flies.
I From the New Hampshire Gazette.

(From the New Hampshire Gazette.1
Charles White, of New Castle, has a
brood of chickens which have the run of
a portion of the yard, the old hen being
kept shut up. The chickens are fed
with moistened meal in saucers, and
when the dough gets little sour it at
tracts large numbers of flies. An OBJ
servant toad has evidently noticed this,
and every day along toward evening he
makes his appearance IN the yard, hops
to saucer, climbs in, and rolls over
and over until he is covered with meal,
having done which he awaits develop
ments. The flies, entlced by the smell
soon swarm around the scheming batra-
chan, and whenever one passes within
two inches or so of his nose his tongue
darts tout and the fly disappears; and
this plan works so well that the toad has
taken it up as a regular business. The
chickens do not manifest the least alarm
at their clumsy and big-mouthed play
mate, but seem to consider it quite a
lark to gather around him and peck of
his stolen coat of meal, even when they
have plenty more of the same sort in the
saucerS.
