Incidents at a Fire i'm COnstantinople.

We saw young woman brought out
of burning house with copper ket-
tie in her hand. She was screaming
wildly: My baby o, nay baby ~
The woman had been engaged in the
kitchen, with her infant in her arms,
and had been busily occupied saving
her cooking utensils by throwing them
into the cistern. quite unconscious that
her dwelling was already on fire. The
firemen, having discovered her in that
perilous place, had rushed into the
kitchen and forced her to hasten out.
On her way she had espied copper
kettle, and had instinctively seized it;
but in her fright and bewilderment,
she had thrown her baby into the els
tern instead of the kettle. Fortunate
ly a sturdy fellow succeeded in rescu-
ing the baby and restoring it to the dis
tracted mother.
The other incident was even more
dreadful. As we stood looking at the
fire we beheld a man struggling, and
the next moment saw him thrown de-
liberaiely into the flames.
George and 1 exchanged looks of
horror, but the bystanders seemed to
pay little heed to the occurrence, mere
ly remarking that the man was an ia
cendiary who had been caught in the
act of spreading the fire for the purpose
of robbery.-S Nicholas

Imaginary Wealth.

A diver in the Bay of Gibraltar, who
went down lately to discover the where
about of a recent wreck, found himself
among the guns and timbers of some
old sunken ship of war. Possibly hui
man curiosity may lead to the recovery
of this submerged bark, though the
guns can scarcely have much value,
even as old metal, and though there is
no reason to think that the ship con-
tanned the naval chest with specie.
The finding of this vessel is chiefly in
teresting because it reminds the sd
Tenturous of almost the last remaining
vessel of romance. 1t is still not i'm
possible for bold, lucky and adven-
turous man TO become Monte Cristo.
All he needs is money enough. To
make romance possible, a man still in
his prime (say nineteen years of age)
ought also to be at the head of millions,
or milliards. Now, this happy con-
junction can only be effected by the
discovery of buried treasure. The
world, by land or sea, is full of buried
treasure. Where is the gold of which
Alexander's men looted the palaces of
Persia? Where is the hidden hoard OF
of Tonratiuh, the Mexican sun god, and
where the endless wealth of his temple7
Delphi was not so well looted, depend
on it, as the barbarians Believed
Priests of all faiths, like the prosecuted
Jesuits in England, have their priests

The hoard of Attila, like that of the

knew where. Unluckily we do not
know. Earth is too jealous guardian

Cost OF selling State Secrets
Germany.

The remarkable trial which has been
in progress for several days at Leipsic
before the Supreme Court of the Ger
man Empire had ended in the manner
at which our Berlin correspondent
limited Both of the prisoners have
been found guilty. Captain Hentsch,
as the chief criminal, has been sentenced
to nine years penal servitude; Krasz-
ewski, as second in guilt, is to be con-
fined for three years and half in {:
fortress The trial is worth the while
studying, if only for the side light which
it throws upon the relations between
Germany and some of her neighbors
The offense for which Hentsch and
Kraszewski are to suffer is that they
sold to foreign governments military
secrets which, in the interest OF
the German Empire. ought not to have
been disclosed. Perhaps every COM
plete criminal code ought TO provide for
this offense; but it is, in all probability,
unknown to cur law. Were a clerk
from our war Office to divul &c military
secrets he would escape severe punish
ment; his offense would entail at most
expulsion, unless he were foolish
enough to purloin some document and
lay himself open to the charge of theft.
but in legislating for military State,
such as Germany, different course
has been taken. The German criminal
code contains minute and stringent pro-
visions as to the offense of giving in
time of war information relating to
fortresses, movements of troops OF
