A Railroad Story.


A few years ago an enormously
wealthy banker was travelling from
Munich to Vienna by rail. In the same
carriage with himself was n gentleman
accompanied by friend. The stranger
was Of pleasing manners, and the purse
proud banker at length condescended to
enter into conversation with him, and
gradually even las he himself expressed
it) took q liking to "the man." He even
went SO far as to say at last: "You
seem to be good sort of fellow,
and gentleman. Look here, l am
going 10 Vienna to see my daughter, who
Is married there, is awfully rich, and
keeps tiptop house. ! will Introduce
you TO her." The stranger thanked
him, and mentioned that by curious
coincidence he too was travelling to
Vienna to see his daughter. "Your
daughter, indeedv' said the banker with
considerable arrogance; and pray
whom can she DEF "rhe Empress OF
Austria" was the calm reply. The
stranger was the Duke Macmillan OF
Bavaria, father of the present Empires.
of Austria and the ex.Queen of Naples
the companion was his aide.de-camp. Il
is needless to add that the millionair,
utterly collapsed.

A Noble Reproof,


Oakland Tribune.
One Of tho seyerest and most just ro
Dukes ever administered 10 one OF those
masculine fools, who are always perpe
trating slurs upon women, took place al
recent dinner in this city, at which nc
ladies were present. A man, in respond
ing 10 the toast, "Nvomen," dwelt al
most solely on the frailties of tho sex,
claiming that the best among them were
little better than the worst, the CHIEF
difference being in their surroundings
At the conclusion of his speech gem
tleman present rose to his feet and said;
81 trust tho gentleman, in the appliea-
ton of his remarks, refers to his
own mother and sisters, not to
ours" Tho effect of this most
Just and timely rebuke was over
whelming; the maligner Of woman was
covered with confusion and shame. Of
all the evils prevalent among men, we
know Of none more blighting in its moral
effect than the tendency to speak slight
ingly OF the virtue of women, nor is there
anything in which young men are so
thoroughly mistaken as in the low esti-
mate they form Of the integrity of won.
en-, not Of their own mothers and sisters,
we are glad to say, but of others, who,
they forget, are somebody else's mothers
and sisters. The evil Is far too general,
and needs uprooting. The false ideas
come from perverted and impure minds;
never from upright, honorable, moral
gentlemen.

A story is told of German who, while
shaving, accidentally cut off his nose. In
the excitement he dropped the razor and
decapitated one of his toes. Hastily
picking up the dismembered portions OF
his dishgured anatomy he clapped them
to the bleeding wounds and bound them
on tightly. After the flesh had grown
fast and healed up he removed the ban
dages, and was filled with horror when
he found a well-developed toe where his
nose ought to have been, and was
Obliged to take off his boot to blow hi,
nose.
