The Welded Life Of Charlotte
Rroute.

Lucy Hooper in Philadelphia Telegraph.
Since last arrived in Yorkshire I
have heard it generally asserted that
the brief welded life of Charlotte
Bronte was by no means the roseate
dream of happiness that her biogra-
pliers have described. Mr.. Sicholl ap~
pears to ave been &. harsh, If not posi-
lively unkind husband and certainly
his actions after the death of his first
wife prove him to have been an tniov-
ing one Perhaps it was better So
that early death with the dim ewes
turned to the bleak meors that the dy-
ing woman loved better than the grand
ours of London or the loveiIness of
Paris. That strange, morbid nature
was not created for happiness. The
last supremest chance that woman
ever mas afforded her--nanelv, that of
conjugal bliss--seems to have failed her
Fame and glory and the applause Of the
world found her Indifferent and unre-
sponsive She had outlivsd the sister
whose nature was so like her own-the
brother that she had idolized in spite
of his shortcomings. What was there
left then to the lonely, unsatisfied
heart, save the one repose that may
never be troubled? Yet to how many
of us would not her life have appeared
one Of unspeakable happiness? To
have written Jane Eyre-to have been
received as one of the greatest authors
of the day---to have been welcomed as
a sister by Thackerav to q healthy ap-
preciative nature such a destiny would
have seemed resplendens with the
choicest gifts of heaven.

| the Indicator, !" and is presumed to
give warming Of the coming eruption.
| The waste waters from these geysers
and springs flow directly into some
creek or river, which is always flowing
in pretty close proximity, and the sate-
ment, If true, that the flow III the river
| is doubled during an eruption Of one Of
the largest geysers, as the Giant, the
Giantess, or the Grand, which flow
from one to two hours at q time, may
| give some idea OF the immense amount
Of water thrown from the depths Of the
earth at such times. Torrents Of fall
ing rain would not form larger running
streams at the surface. Though satu-
rated with ca]careous matter, the flowing
water is at first clear as. crystal, and
though scalding hot when projected up
| wards, it returns to the earth In cooling
drops. The noise and connection at
tending an eruption are Undesirable,
are even unimaginable, to one ignorant
of the reality. No imagination could
picture the sights and sounds combined
within and without geyser tube dur
ing an eruption, while the attend
ant spring seems doing its best to help
on the melee, The spectator can only
look on in speechless establishment.
Some Of the geysers are merely spite
full little fellows, throwing water almost
necessarily to a height OF n few feet,
while others are said to throw jets 200
feet, or more. But Imagine some peo-
pie see with exaggerated vision. The
height to which the Giant throws it's
graceful crystal like jets is put down at
the above named figures, but two gen
tlemen who each measured during the
eruption which I had the good fortune
to witness, agreed very nearly in their
measurment, but only made their height
about 100 feet, which is a sad falling
down from the estimate Let the
height be more or less, I could see very
little difference between the altitude OF
the Giants jets and those OF sold faith
full" which believe are never rated
at much above 100 feet. As Bob In
gersoll is reported as saying: even
this is q grand enough geyser for me-"
Most Of the geysers have their. peri
odieal times of eruptions, those of the
Giantess and Beehive being at present
about fourteen days, while others are
scarcely as many hours, and others are
nearly incessant. All these, however,
are variable, and I was told that the
eruptions in times past occurred with
greater frequency than at present. 4
casual observer can readily see that
conditions not only have changed, but
are changing. nor does he need the tes-
tinnony of the "oldest .inhabitant" to
convince him that he finds traces not
few, Of extinct geysers. 90.
= As may be said of certain localities,
volcanic action has now ceased, may it
not be said. sooner or later, that gey-
sers are now extinct in the upper gey~
ser basin Of Yellow Stone Park? Now,
it is probably the grandest theatre of
chemical action on the face of the globe,
and can never be too thankful that
have lived too see it. / have been very
fortunate in my visit, coming as + did
at time when SO many eruptions were
just occurring

a Foolish Fraud
ew Orleans Times Democrat.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
"You would be surprised" said
Post Official recently, IF you could
know how frequently stamps are used
second, or even athiri time. And what
is the most surprising thing about it is
there is no profit for a person using
stamp the second time. as it requires
more than two cents worth of applica-
ton and ingenuity 10 cleanse a. stamp;
but the. loss to the Governments is, very
considerable. l would be content to
receive sum equivalent to that stolen
from the department every year in this
way for my salary. Post Office clerks,
by long practice, become very familiar
with the appearance Of good and bad
stamps.
"Tbey acquire perhaps the same de-
gree OF ability in the detection OF the
Irregularities 90 do, clerks who handle
money, but IN large offices thsre$s.re SO
many letters AMI the work of caneelIing
is OF necessity so rapid that very few
chances are offered for detection It Is
only when letters are deposited N Of
fees where the mail receipts are small
chat there is any considerable danger Of
detection in using stamp . second time.
But the use cannot be profitable; pack
ages or heavyweight Letters having suf-
ficiently large postage stamps on them
to justify their cleansing for second
use are subject to q somewhat rigid
inspection and fraud can be detected.
As [ said, however, the use of smaller
stamps a second time is large enough
to make hole in the department. funds"

The Device Of an Ingenious Englishn1er to

From tile American Register:
A free journey by rail inside car.
riage holding q complimentary" in
your A5aistcoat pocket may be, and
doubtless is, very pleasant thing. TO
travel free as Mr. George Adams, of
Wolverhampton, England, did the other
day, however, is scarcely to be RECON-
mended. Nor is it at all pleasant, as
that gentleman will be- ready at this
moment to admit. Mr.. Adams found
himself in Liverpool sans six sous, and
being Of a sans souci disposition, deter
mined to get home l:y new and origin
al method of "macing the RATHER" as a
craftsman would say, instead, of cheat
ing the railroad company His idea, to
say the least of it, was ingenious, but
he had reconed without his host. He
procured two stout pieces of rope, which
he fastened to the axles of the carriage,
leaving o moose at the
end Of each. Into one moose he put his
legs while he inserted his shoulders into
the other In this position he hung
when the train started. The train was
an express and did not stop until Crewe
was reached, which is about seventy
miles from Liverpool. He Was rather
uncomfortable when the train began to
move, but when it got into full swing
he had real torture and when he reached
Crewe he was nearly dead with fright.
Here he was taken into custody. To the
Magistrate who adjudicted on the case
he explained that his sensations when
swaying to and fro were something
awful and the effect of the sleepers as
they rushed past him nearly robbed him
of his reason and he twas afraid that
every moment the rope would slip from
his shoulders and hang him." The Mag
istrate decided very cutely that he had
had enough punishment and remarking
very sagely that he was not likely to re-
peat the experiment sent him about his
business. An excursion on the stick OF
u Congreve rocket on the tail of q comet
might be more exciting than this, but
not much. - s.ss' -
