SuVaro1T.

From tho United Service]
 His features were firm, but harsh of ex- pression. Although so short, he was manly and military of bearing, birding himself ment. In conduct he was odd, and even un- couth and brusque, to eocentricity. He al- lowed himself no self-indulgence or luxury of living, his daily habit being to rise at day break and rouse his camp by growing like cock at the entrance of his tent. If he failed to awaken before sunrise, an orderly had di- rections to throw pail of water over him in his bed as deserved punishment for laziness and lesson thereafter to be less tardy in getting up and setting about the duties of the day. At table, if he fingered longer than ten minutes, soldier WAS to come in, and, salut- ing the General, say, 'sIt is time to stop eat ing and drinking" 'tBy whose order ?'' was the Generals wonted inquiry. 'By that of Marshal Suvarof, was the reply. "Then,' the General would say, rising, Che must be obeyed'' That his oddities had some express end in view, even if concealed at the mo ment, is seen from the following aneodote During the Polish campaign, finding himself with very small body of troops face to face with strong force of the enemy, he discovered a spy among his suite, and, with his usual quickness of resources, instantly resolved to make use of him to extricate his command from the perilous situation. He straightway issued an order of the day, to
 
 should march to the attack. The spy at once went over to the other side with the infor- nation. The same afternoon, however, Suv- aroff started up and ran through his camp growing Justify, whereat his troops sprang immediately to arms and rushed against the enemy. The Poles were taken by surprise, not expecting an assault before next day, and underwent a complete defeat. The story goes on to say that the spy was made prison CT and brought to the Generals presence for an order for his shooting, but that, on the contrary, Suvaroff directed him to be set at liberty, with thanks for his involuntary con tribution to the good fortune of the enter prise In the art of hoodwinking an adver- sary Suvaroff had no superior. The General enjoyed excellent health in the field the re- ward of temperance, regular exercise and hardihood of habit. His life was simple. He rose at dawn buckets of cold water were thrown over his body; and he dressed him self At eight or nine in the evening he dined on the same fare as his army, coarse or sour bread broth or gruel of oatmeal or barley, slices of salt meat and 8 scrap of cheese. His ordinary drink was beer made from fermented wheat (called by the Russians kislichtschy) and glass of brandy at meals. AS soon as he had dined he slept for two or three hours in his chair, then woke to work and only lay down for couple of hours be- fore morning. He usually performed his de votions after each meal and at night when going to bed, before image of St. Nicho- las, Russias patron saint Often he pre- ferred the floor to a camp-cot.

Young criminals frequently, yes, usually, first Imprisonment, which under the present system they spend in the company of older criminals Some of the good people of Mas sachusetts believe that a reformatory for young criminals is needed in that State and a bill is now before the Legislature which pro vides for the establishment of such an institution. In favor of the bill it is pointed out that Q young man or a boy not yet out of his teens who commits his first crime is imprisoned in the county jail. There he is thrown into con- tact with many older and more hard ened criminals; he has little or no labor to do, or if any, not of kind to employ his mind and instruct him in useful trade, Snd the moral influences which reach him are such only as come from the Sunday service or the jail library. The desire of the pro- motors of the bill is to have an institution established, to which the more hopeful cases among offenders of this class might be com mitted, with a distinct purpose of effecting their reformation by instruction, by rs- straint and discipline by grading and classi- fcation, by training in useful trades, and by the encouragement and reward of those who do well. The plan is good one
 A very interesting performance by interest ing amateurs recently took place in Vienna, and was witness ed by 800 ladies and gentle men forming the best society of the place An .operetta called f'Ten Girls and No Illus. band'' was given. Both words and music are by Viennese authors. 4 father has ten girls, who are all pretty, and whose talents have been carefully developed in every pos sible direction, so that they are even prepar- ed to turn soldiers if need be. The part of the father was played by Prince Lichtenstein. The daughters were impersonated by the Princesses Auersperg and Kinsky, the young Princess Metternich, the Baroness Rothchild, and six more young ladies of equal rank. The Princess Pauline Metternich had under taken the part of 8 pert chambermaid, who mimics the drollerie5 of her mas ter and mistress. There was round of en- thusiastic applause when the ten high-born ladies appeared in the uniform of an old Vienna crack regiment, and performed mili tary evolutions at the command of their drolI father while the chambermaid was beating the drum. There is a scene in which each girl shows her special talent, which is differ ent in each of the ten. Thus the Baroness Rothschild recited comic monologue, the Countess Wilzeh sang comic air, and the young Princess Metternieh danced czardas, the national dance of the Hungarians.

As soon as he be- came accustomed to the diet all condiments were put aside except little salt. The de- sire for tobacco and alcohol left him sponta- neously. Then all his digestive functions Ee- came regular, and he found himself wholly free from headaches and bilious attacks Af- ter three months 8 troublesome rheumatism left him, and at tho end of a year he had gained eight pounds in weight He believes he can do more mental labor than before, and that all his senses arc more acute. For breakfast he has brown bread, apples and coffee dinner consists of two vegetables, brown bread, and pie or pudding for tea he rejoices in bread and jam, with milk and water, and for supper bread, jam, cold pud- ding, and as luxury, boiled onions.

Jordan, Marsh & Co.,, the great dry goods firm of Boston, have lately been trying a great advertising scheme. For two days they occupied two pages in each of the daily pa- pers in Boston and also took much space in other papers outside of Boston, including the JOURNAL AND COURIER. For several days the store of the firm has been so crowded with purchasers that the doors have had to be closed at mid day in order that the cus- toners who had obtained entrance might be served. Moral: It pays to advertise ju dic- iously.
 The color line has been drawn in Staple ton, Long Island, and by the negroes. There is small public school building in Stapleton, set apart for the colored children of the dis trict. Two weeks ago Mir. Trowbridge, the colored teacher, became i'll, and young white woman was assigned by the school trustees to take his place. The scholars unanimously objected to white teacher, and some of the parents of the children waited on the trustees and demanded 8 colored teacher. The trustees replied that the re- quest could not be granted, because 8 teacher would be difficult to find during the short time that Mir. Trowbridge expected to be ab- sent Thereupon the scholars all withdrew, and the school has been closed until MT. Trowbridge shall return to his duties.
