by accepting an engagement to sing in pub
lie for $4,000 a year. So much Tor the
moral and material status of the Viscount
and Viscountess de la PanouZe, and this Sill
uation explain why they are so anxious TO
recover the possession Of notes which, II OF
no value to the holder, are as long as they
are in existence, proofs OF the dishonor OF
their maker, which the holder can use TO pre-
vent his debtor from being looked upon on
his return from South America as an honest
and honorable man.
The court, after hearing what the lawyers
on both sides had to say, has, as usual, taken
a week to think the matter over before max
ing decision. 1t would not take me long,
were I the judge charged with solving this le-
gal problem. The French code declares that
the courts shall not have any jurisdiction in
any matter growing out of gambling con-
tract, and it is by virtue of this very article
that they have refused to order de la Panouze
to pay the notes, the possession of which is
now disputed for before them. The same
principle renders them incompetent to de-
eide who shall have the notes. They are
worthless, commercially speaking, but de
Bacourt has undoubtedly paid good round
price for them, and as autographs they may
have value none the less because the sig
nature is that of French nobleman, own
nephew to Marshal MacMahon, and on whose
staff he served during the time the hero OF

The Speed of 4 Flying Duck.
Pittshnrp Chrnnicle.

1t may be interesting to the reader to
know the speed at which many ducks fly
down wind.
Willard, from 40 to 50 miles an hour.
Black duck, from 40 to 80 miles an hour
Pintail, from 80 to 90 miles an hour.
Widgeon, from IS to 20 miles an hour.
Wood duck, from 55 to go miles an hour
Gadwall, from go to 20 miles an hour.
Redhead, from so to 80 miles an hour.
Blue wingtail, from so to 100 miles an
hour.
Green wingtail, from so to 100 miles an
hour
Broadbill, from So to 10 miles an hour.
Canvas back, from s. to 1870 miles an
hour
Wild geese, from so to 90 miles an hour.
For the above table l am indebted to Mr..
D. w. Cross, an old duck shooter and
careful student Of the habits of water fowl.
| have not the slightest hesitancy in belev-
ing him right, for the experience Of others
with whom l have shot ducks, coupled with
my own, more than corroborates the assert
ions. When I have held ahead of string of
blue bills, say at least ten feet, and killed
the fourth or fifth duck in the string, l have
been strongly impressed that the speed they
were flying was like the traditional creased
lightning, remembering that the charge of
shot left my gun (No, 4 shot, say,) with an
initial velocity of 800 to 1000 feet per
second. 1t will be seen that long expert
ence and good judgement is necessary to
know where to hold the gun in order to be-
come good duck shot

made that day; he glanced at some cold beef

Knil,rnncse un1ncn.

The features of the Kairwanese women are
pure, but without character sort Of gen.
eral regularity uninterestng in itself, and
which does not appeal to the fancy. One
seeks in vain in their almost classic faces
something to reveal the individual, some
thing of the deeper experience Of life which
discloses itself in the harassed faces Of North
ern races. Their large eyes, surrounded by
a thick dark circle, have the fixed placidity
of expression of the animal. They put white
cosmetics without stint on their breasts, color
their lips with carmine and the tips Of their
fingers with henna. All these pungents sea-
sonings well become their physiognomies,
sometimes proud, sometimes gloomy, and
the picturesque frame which surrounds them.
Thus adorned, they like to remain notion
less; one would take them Hindoo idols, with
their silk garments ornamented with gold,
their bare legs and arms, the color Of amber,
encircled by old and heavy jewclry Of silver.
Poor daughters of a condemned race,
plunged in profound stupor, their life passes
in household work and the manufacture Of
carpets and wooden stuffs. SOMETIMES they
practice singing while playing the tabor and
the darbouca, or move nonchalantly through
some measures of the dance. Women of
means, the happiest of them, interrupt their
employment by long maps This is their
greatest pleasure, their greatest luxury-to
sleep. Their favorite distraction in summer
is to mount for few moments in the even
ing to their terraces, and exchange greeting
with each other and some brief gossip. They
must return only the more depressed to that
cloister-like solitude which characterizes all
Arab dwellings, and where alone. is revealed
all the jealous suspicion, all the ferociOus
surveillance, of Mussmulman life.
Parents do not always wait till their daugh-
tiers are marriageable to sell them, after a
disputed bargain, to an old or to a young
man. The price Of the woman varies from
one hundred francs to five or six hundred.
This great difference comes from the fact
that the future husband pays according to
the Importance of his wife's family, but the
degree of beauty never enters into considera-
ton, since the couple are supposed to see
each other for the first time on theirwedding-
day. Marriage, far from emancipating the
women, only changes their prison. The
tyranny of the husband is even harsher than
that in the family where the father loves his
daughter, since his caprice is absolute law.
The man always eats alone, the woman is
not admitted to the honor of sharing his
meal; she serves, standing respectfully be-
fore him.-A. F. Jacassy, in Haper'S AagG,
zine for Nag.

Some st. Petersburg Statistics.
Pail Mall Budget.

The census returns of st. Petersburg,
which have recently been published, give a
curious picture of the population of the Rus
sian capital. The number of inhabitants,
including the suburbs, is OPS, 016, of which
only 253, 046 were born at st. Petersburg.
The tluctuating population consists chiefly of
peasants, the greater part of whom are from
the province of liver. The different classes
are represented as follows; Al per cent. pea
SAINTS, 20 per cent middle-class citizens, 10
per cent. subalterns, y per cent. mobiles, 3
per cent. priests, 3 per cent. foreigners, 2
per cent. Fins, 2 per cent merchants and 1
per cent. honorary citizens. The difference
in the number of the two sexes has generally
decreased since 1869, when to every 100
male there were 100 female inhabitants,
whereas there are only 121 Of the latter at
present. The number of iiliterate persons,
"a per cent, is the same as in 1869. There
are %, 600 children who receive no instruc-
ton in schools, although their parents are
alive. As compared with the returns of 1869
the number Of divorces has largely increased.
With regard to the age of the inhabitants of
st. Petersburg, it appears that on the aver
age they die before they have reach ed their
twentieth year, which is eighteen to twenty
years less than the average in England.

Good 4Grice.

Here is piece of the best possible advice
for bashful men and women
Try to forget that you have arms, legs and
feet. If you do not they will multiply until
to your consciousness, they are as numerous
as the arms of the octopus and always in i'm
minent danger of tying them selves into knots
and throwing you down or making you do
some awkward thing. Try to forget yourself
in every way. Make no hasty movement,
but after stepping inside the doorway pause
and look around for the hostess, if you do not
at once see her. Go to her directly, receive
her greeting and then take another quiet
glance around to see what course to follow to
dispose of yourself pleasantly. Occasionally
persons make the mistake in their embarass-
ment of OBTAINING their hostess in converse
ton when other guests are coming in, oblig-
ing her to ask to be excused in order to give
the latter greeting.

ODD STORIES FROM EVERYWHERE

George Dunaway of Randolph county, Ga,
had a fretful child. He attempted to whip
it, whereupon his wife drew pistol and kill
ed him.
Thomas Moffitt, who was supposed to have
been killed in the war, now turns up a
wealthy land owner in Mexico, with 10000
head of cattle.
Holding a cartridge between her fingers,
Julia Pegg, of st. Louis, began experiment.

cost her two fingers and thumb.
At the wedding of Hiram D. Murdoch at
GAINESVILLE, Wis, all of the eighteen guests
were searched for $50 in gold, one of the
presents of the bride, which had been stolen
from her dresser. The money was not re-
covered.
The Rev. Moses Anderson of Jackson
county, Mo, sent his hired man to bring his
intended bride to his home for the marriage
ceremony. She fell in love with the hired
man on the way, and they went to hotel,
sent for minister, and were married.
In the Garfield school at Centreville, Iowa,
a boy drew a revolver on his teacher because
she proposed Whipping MN. Inc young
woman not only took away the revolver but
chastised him thoroughly, and then had him
taken before Justice, who fined him IS.
What was believed to be one Of the Pirate
Kidd's treasure boxes was unearthed by a
party of Italian emigrants near Berkshire,
Conn. In powder horn tipped with silver
and covered with hieroglyphics, were found
some old English coins, Spanish doubloon,
and piece of parchment.
In Trimble County KY, Mary Stephens
supposed her husband was dead, he having
left home many years ago, and she married
again in July last Stephens went to his
wife'a home recently, not intending to let
himself be known. His wife Immediately
recognized him, and, throwing her arms
about his neck and screaming ''My long-lost
husband,'' kissed him. This aroused the
jealousy Of the new husband, who struck her
across the neck with drawing knife he had
in his hand, severing the jugular vein.
Stephens drew a revolver and shot the muir
derer, who in turn gave Stephens a cut across
the back of the neck with the drawing knife.
Both men are said to be fatally injured.

remarks.
Belford uses arms, legs. lungs, coat tails,

so much attention. It has often been re-
marked that his speeches sound much better
than they read. In the senate there are quite
as many peculiarities, comparatively, as IN
the house. A visitor to the gallery OF the
senate may often hear the rafting OF a
bunch of keys on the floor. He may then be
sure that either Ben. Harrison, Of Indiana,
of Senator Hoar of Massachusetts,, are sitting
quietly in their seats. Both of these gentle
men seems te be best able to unlock their
thoughts by rafting their keys in listless
way. Senator Groome, of Maryland, has
great way of whirling his chair around so that
his back is toward the presiding othcer; mus
he viii sit and read or talk, or ponder Tor a
half an hour at time. Senator Ransom, a

Il Trick Played by Gen. TOonbs.
Atlantn Constitution

Perhaps the only time when Gen. Rob-
ert Toombs permitted any any speaker to
have the conclusion on him was when he
had a discussion with Hon. James Gardner
editor of the Augusta Constituencies. Be-
fore Toombs made the agreement for Gard
ner to conclude he espied an organ grinder
and his monkey near by. He bargined with
him to commence playing as soon as he
(Toombs) got through. Gardner arose to
reply and the organ grinder began. The
crowd commenced to gather around him.
The monkey got away ran up tree. The
Italian put down his organ and tried to
shake the monkey out. The monkey would
grab the tree and shake it, too. This scene
completely attracted the audience and pro-
voked the utmost hilarity. Gardner left the
platform in disgust at being ecipsed by a
monkey.
