One night OF May, eleven years ago. in a
dingy back room OF an old brick house in
Wooster street, met a young Frenchman
who even then had played a part which
doubtless had prepared him for the extra
ordinary adventure in which he Is now en-
gagged. He was amid a group Of his friends,
and had Just reached this city as a refugee.
He had been an actor in the Paris revolt OF
March, 1871; he had escaped the massacre
that followed the suppression of the Com
mune; he had afterward been arrested and
condemned 10 death; his punishment had
been changed 10 that OF ~banishment to the
penal colony of New Caledonia in the
Pacific; be had there, with u few compan-
ions, got up "A daring plan OF escape; they
had carried out that plan amid dangers as
great as ever were encountered; and in May
Of 1874 the little party OF fugitives had ar
rived in San Francisco, from which Mr..
Oliver Pain hastened to New York, where
he spent q few days prior to his departure
for England as a place of safety.
When here be looked nbout 30 years Of
age, and was tall, 1.-the, and handsome, pos
sessed OF both the vivacity and the gravity
Of an experienced worldling of Paris He had
done duty on the press as an assailant OF the
empire; he had done service in the field
during the Franco German war, and subse-
quently during the revolt Of Paris; he had
suffered the hardships OF French convict
life, and was then in full flight from one
kin Of peril 70 another; but, withal, he do
meaned himself as though his resources had
not yet been tested.
Well, according to the cable dispatches.
this young Frenchman, Mr.. Oliver Pain, has
for the past year been the military adviser
OF the False Prophet" who is now leading
his wild hordes Of Arabian spaarmen against
the British invaders of Egypt and the Sou
dan; and it Is this same Frenchman who led
the storming party that captured Khartoum
and put an end to the career OF Gen. Cor
don.

Delitzsch is one Of the humblest OF the
towns of Germany; It's population, even
now. Is not more thar 5000. and thirty
years ago Il was much less; but from small
beginnings among the shoemakers Of De-
litxsch. In 1850, Herman Schulz has, by
faith and patience, created one OF the most
remarkable social structures OF the century.
When he died in the spring Of 1885 there
were $500 cooperative societies in Germany
organized under his own control, besides
thousands more in Austria, Italy, Russia
and Belgium. which owned their origin to
his example, and looked up to him as their
father. Those $500 societies had a member

10 the tropical flea, to whose industry, enter

in this country are indebted for a great deal
of diversion. At first his attentions were
somewhat annoying. and there was a general
disposition to conceal acquaintance with him;

There's no use of trying to conceal the
fact. They are as common and as plenty as
flies in the Decentralization OF a city board

would more truly represent the condition Of
the country II it showed a man vhinly trying
to scratch in seven places at once, instead Of
a wild horse dashing over the Pampas. They
are little black flies which will get into your
clothing in the most unaccountable manner.
You find them in your shoes, and under your
shirt-collar; you wake up in the night and
think you have somehow wandered into a
plantation Of ~nettles, or, when you become n
a little more accustomed TO it, dream regu-

Eating on Gold.

NiuCiuuAt E.uIufcf.l
Mrs. Astor's supper to twenty of her inti-
mate friends was given Monday night On
this occasion the famous service of solid gold
was used. These yellow dishes are seldom
brought out from the Aston vault They
cost $l00, 900, 1t is said, though l have heard
tho figures exaggerated TO $250,00 Any
how, there is no great extravagance in them,
for the metal can at any time be melted into
good bullion and only the workmanship lost
l have attended many OF the Astor enter
tainments, but never one when the gold
utensils were displayed. A friend who has
had that inestimahle privilege declared that
she didn't enjoy the experiment very much,
after ALL 4aIaIr. .it.ra .Tt 2

were completely overcome and dominated
by the plates on which they were served.
The daintisst morsels seemed TO have no
flavor at all, and after awhile l fancied that
they became i~mpregnated with the peculiar
metallic taste And then I got it into my
head that the man sitting opposite TO me was
q detective in disguise, placed there to see
that l didn'ts slip a plate into my bodice. He
was afterward introduced TO me. aud 1 had
reason to believe that his covert glances had
been purely sentimental, but they spoiled
my supper all the same. No, thank you,

A most important Institution has just been
started at As Debevoise Plnce, Brooklyn. 1t
is a hospital Intended for the charitable
treatment Of all forms of nervous diseases
and such mild forms Of menta diseases as
can be rescued by medical skill from tho
horrors OF an insane asylum. Singular to
gay, it Is the first institution OF the kind in
the world.
The study Of nervous and mental diseases
is the latest OF all the specialties, The i'm
~portanee and frequency Of the diseases have
been overlooked by the public and even by
the physicians. Curious as it may seem, the
most frequent cause, or the second most fire.
quent cause, among persons who have had
their lives insured is from nervous disease.
In other words, nervous disease is the most
frequent or second most frequent cause of
death among the most industrious, provident
and intelligent Of the community, being only
surpassed In fatality by zymotic, tubercular
and respiratory diseases. 1
Nervous diseases vary but little from year
to year in frequency, being among the
most constant Of oil maladies. As more
people suffer from any disease than die from
1t, it follows that the prevalence of the
disease must be eminently greater than the
fatality, and hence it is difficult to tell whit
the prevalence of the nervous disease is in
our community when tho death ratio ia
shown to be 20 per cent

OF late years tho number OF German
tramps have been steadily increasing until
it has reached a figure which is incon-
veniently high, II not alarming. In some
districts from ten to fifteen Of these wan-
derers will daily implore aims at a wayside
cottage or In a lonely village, while the men
arc busy in the fields, and as their wives and
daughters. partly from good nature and
partly from fear, hardly like to refuse a
crust, no inconsiderEble tax Is levied ON tho
honest and the industrious. 1t is only parts
Of the country which offer unusual attrac-
lions to the vagabond which are subjected
to such a visitation as this; but no place Is
entirely free from annoyance. .Trr
According to one estimate the number Of
tramps in Germany last year amounted to
1000 O0, and the expense they caused the
community amounted to ~, 900 ,00U marks;
and though from the difficulty Of obtaining
accurate information it is impossible to rely
ON such a calculation, most OF those who
have mads the matter n subject Of study
seem 10 think it fairly correct.
