Eskimo Patience.

The number of years the Eskimo will spend in plodding away at the most simple things shows them to be probably the most patient people in the world.
 When we were near King Williams Land, I saw an Eskimo working upon a knife that, as nearly as could ascertain, had engaged a good part of his time some six years preceding that date. He had flat piece of iron, which had been taken from the wreck of one of Sir John Franklin's ships, and from this he was endeavoring to make a knife-blade, which, when completed, would be about twelve inches long. In cutting it from this iron plate, he was using for a chisel an old file, found on one of the ships, which. it had taken him two or three years to sharpen by rubbing its edge against stones and rocks. His cold chisel finished, he had been nearly as many years cutting a straight edge along the ragged sides of the irregular piece of iron, and when l discovered him he had outlined the width of his knife on the plate and was cutting away at it. It would probably have taken him two years to- cut out this piece, and two more to fashion the knife into shape and usefulness.
 The file which he had made into g cold-chisel was such proof of labor and patience that it was great curiosity tc me, and I gave him butchers knife 1T exchange for it. Thus almost the very thing he had been so long trying tC make he now unexpectedly found in hi possession. When told him that oul factories, or big igloos, could make more than he could carry of sucl butchers knives during the time we ha( spent in talking about this, he expressed great surprise.-,St. Nicholas Jor June

Market Day in Harrisburg.

Every Wednesday and Saturday is market morning. And such a market, Country knit socks and sorghum mo- lasses, "smear case" tallow dips, saul sage, apple butter, side meat the color of an oak plank and as hard; beet pick les, five cents saucer; cucumber pick les six inches long and three inches thick, one cent each; corn meal mush, country hard soap cut in irregular size and sold for what it will fetch, saucer cheese, sassafras, dried apples, butter milk, sweet cider and the hundred and one products of the dairy and farm, and over all the sweet aud in these days of conservatory beauties rare perfume of old fashioned flowers, the direct de- scendants of hyacinths, cowslps, violes and blue bells that bloomed along the borders of prime walks in kitchen gar dens years and years ago, before the guns of Gettysburg thundered up the quiet valley, or BIldy Smiths sentinels stood under the midnight sky on the banks of the broad river.
 In addition to the regular market house Market street is transformed into one vast vegetable mart on these morn- ings. As early as one a. m. the Dsu- phin county Dutch farmers drive into town. An ancient tin lantern, with perforated sides and three inches of candle inside, sheds a very faint light, by which they unharness and get into position for the days business. Their vehicles, usually one horse, are backed up to the curb, the end gate dropped, two boards and as many trsstles set out on the pavement, and on and over this the business is done. Business opens about haIf-past four and is over at half past eight a. m. From half-past five to half. past seven the market is crowded. By nine o'clock the street and market place Is deserted, and nothing but vege- table refuse is left.-PittSbrg Dis. patch

They Died Fighting.

The T,co Republics of the City of Mexico, tells this story:-A wild story comes in from Periban, Michoscan. Three we'll mounted and well armed men stopped at an inn to pass the night The woman who kept the place advised the authorities that three suspicious men had called at her house. The Presi- dent of the city council and the judge, with few citizens, went to the house to see the suspicious characters. But the three men locked themselves in their room and refused to be interviewed. A crowd of citizens was collected, but when they appeared they were greeted with a volley from the three men. An assault was then made upon the room, and the prisoners breaking out of the door fought their way through the crowd, using their revolvers and daggers. The crowd followed closely after the fugitives and many shots were ex- changed.
 Finally one of the fellows dropped; even while dying he turned over and fired on his pursuers. A second fell a few steps further on, fighting hard. The third sheltering himself behind rock, made it warm for his pursuers, and though often wounded, fought on with scarcely enough strength to draw his rifle to his shoulder. Called on to sur render, he only replied with a bullet, which relieved the president of his hat. The crowd closed in around him as the death mist was passing over his eyes. Still he tried to pull the trigger of his , rifle for a parting shot, but life and strength failed him. The corpses were buried in Periban. They were supposed to be part of Marcial Braves bandit troop. During the fight the citizens had fired 200 shots, and of these nearly
 twenty had taken effect ou the bandits .. who were torn to pieces by the terrible storm of lead. Several of the citizenl
 were wounded. The bandits died lik' legendary heroes.

derly woman. She was the Captain, and as she entered the son of the Chacha whispered to me, Just look how well my mother dances Then followed, with battle axes uplifted, the younger officers, and in their rear the still younger troops, now dashing toward us in their sham fight, now wheeling round, dispensing, and again uniting. And all this with rhythmical movements, half warlike, half coquettish, but never clumsy, the elegant play of the bare round arms re- calling to the mind the limbs of ancient classical statues. All dances which 1 have seen performed among savage and demi-savage peoples have been gro- tesque, and to a certain degree volup. tuous. Here for the first time perform snce was given which would have held its own before serious esthete."
 Contemplating this remarkable feat, and listening to the strange rhythm of the songs of the amazons, who, even after a performance of several hours, showed no sign of fatigue, the delighted Germans spent the evening, and next morning were invited to similar dance performed by twelve young ladies of the age of Is and IT, all of whom the Chacha introduced as his wives. Their perform ance, however, was inferior to that wit messed the night before. The three days festivities, all more or less of the same kind, were concluded by the Chacha presenting bull to Dr. Zoller.

The Brides Travelling Dress.

For the brides travelling dress says Harper's Bazar, tailor suit of wool of light quality and of the quietest brown, dark blue, or mixed black and white that makes gray should be chosen, or else she should have an ecru or blue gray mohair. But if the bride wishes to wear the dress during the ceremony, and use it afterward for church, visits, etc, she should have something tride more dressy, such as blue bison cloth with blue wool guipure (which, corre- spondents must be informed, is not llama isce) laid plainly over scarlet silk, if the bride is a brunette; but if she is a blonde, she should have similar dress of ecru wool with brown lace. Then in her trousseau she should have a pretty surah for her best dress, and gay lawns, cambrics, and the new-old ecru batistes that have come back to favor.

not stop, however, but travelled faster than the train. He recalled in a second his honorable soldiers life, when he had sacrificed everything to duty. He saw in the station the frightful accident he would have caused, and heard the cries of the wounded, the last gasps of the dying. The problem was before him his daughter or others? There WAS no al- formative without a miracle. With an astonishing promptitude the sentiment of duty became most powerful, and he seized mechanically the handle of the iron bar. The stoical soldier at this moment was uppermost, and efaced the father. He pushed, hardly knowing what he did, and the express train crossed the switch.
 On, on it went, and he could see it passing before the station, going by as if it were happy to escape danger, and disappearing in the darkness. Duty had been strongest. Stupeied, staggered, speeches., Laurence was rooted to the spot, holding still the cursed handle which had helped him to kill his child.
 ''Now," he said, "it is my turn to die"
 The ether train was about to pass. He stepped forward, crossed his arms, and awaited it. The whistle sounded, the heavy engine puffed.
 Bewildered, thinking of nothing, there he stood.
 But that instant burst of laughter sounded behind him. He turned, wild with hope.
 "Oh, naughty papa he won't play with Aimee" said the most beloved of voices.
 The child was clinging to him. Lau- renee did not seek to know how the child came there alive. He seized her, and fled with his treasure into his little cabin. Then he put her OF the ground before the lamp and looked at her. He could not bear so much joy, and fell fainting beside his daughter, who, in her turn, screamed with terror.
 At this moment Celine arrived. She heard Aimee's voice and hastened her steps. Then becoming impatient, she called, "Aimee I" The child ran to meet her, crying, Mamma, mamma, I am frightened p
 "What is the matter ?" "Papa has fallen down." Celine rushed toward the sentry-box and found her husband completely in- sensible stretched on the ground. She sent for help, and the doctor, who had not left the village, came and restored the poor man to consciousness. The next day when Laurence rose his wife looked at him with terror. Instead of his former bright color he exhibited a corpse-ike pallor, which never left him to the end of his days. Laurence was forced to tell his wife all When he had finished the poor father turned to Aimee and said: "But, darling, why weren't you killed?"
 "Why," said the child, 'T did what Simon did. Chicago hater-O Ocean.

THE TWO ILLAGE&

Over the river on the hill Lieth village quiet and still; All around it the forest trees Shiver and whisper in the breeze. Over it, sailing shadows go Of soaring hawk and screaming crow, And mountain grasses low and sweet Grow in the middle of every street. Over the river under the hill, Another village heth still; There see in the cloudy night TwinkEng stars of household light, Fires that gleam from the smiths door, Mists that curl on the river shore, And in the road no grasses grow For the wheels that hasten to and fro. In that village on the hill Never 6 sound of smith or mill;@ The houses are matched with grasses and
 flowers,
 Never a clock to toll the hours; The marble doors are always shut, You cannot enter in hall or hut, All the village lieth asleep. Never a grain to SOW or reap. Never in dreams to moan or sigh, Silent and idle and low they lie. In that village under the hill When the night is starry and still Many weary soul in prayer Looks to the other village there, And weeping and signing longs to go Up to that home from this below, Longs to sleeps in the forest wild whither have vanished wife and child, And heareth praying, this answer fail Patience This village shall hold you all p

A ROMANTIC STORY.
How Ihe .Son of m Austrian Baron Mar ried Rn Ignorant Pennsylvania Girl Her Sad History and Trngical Death.

A letter from Pittsburg, Pa, says:- Lena Steubenrach, the girl whose re- cent death caused a sensation in this city, and on whose account Isaac Banks subsequently, committed suicide, had, according to the statements published, an exceedingly romantic history. Her husband, who is now in Europe, IS, it is said, the youngest son of an Austrian baron. When quite young he became civil engineer. He married an actress in Austria. His family, however, would not hear of his introducing her to them as his wife. The misalliance was patched up in some way and Steuben- rach sailed for this country alone. He first landed in Brazil, but fortune did not smile upon him and he came north. He reached Pennsylvania in destitute cir cumstances. While eagerly watching for position he remembered that the Abbe of St. Vincent College at Latrobe, and his father had been firm friends. The Abbe was also of noble birth. Steubenrach went to the monastery, made himself known, and was offered &C., commodations. The quiet religious life of the priest had its effect upon him, and he became a member consigned to do duty there.
 Lena Doering, the dead girl, Steu- benrach and some others were among those who prayed at the little chapel. The sequel, however, of the attendance of the two at the same chapel was their marriage. They took up quarters al her farmhouse. Steubenrach tried tc turn his attention to farm duties, but he could do little. His failure in this re. spect turned the parents of the bride against him, and his life in consequence was not a happy one. He evidently intended to do well by Lena. He tried tt educate her but failed. It appears she was not very bright in intellect. Wher they were about six months married Steubenrach was called home; hi grandfather had died and small inheri tance fell to him. He came to thi
 country again, bringing with him hand some dresses and articles for his Penn sylvania wife. Steubenrach grew tireC

Poverty and UncleanIiness.

1t is lamentable fact that almost invaria'
bly, extreme poverty and uncleanlness &c
hand in hand. While water is an element al
free as the air we breath, there is no earthly
reason why people who are reduced to want
should not keep their persons clean. Nine
out of ten of the beggars who come to our
doors, bear upon their faces and hands such
disgusting evidences of entire worthless
ness that they are sent away without aims,
and doubtless many who are absolutely suf-
fering for food go unsatisfied because of their
filthy condition, when, if the God-gven right
and privilege of cleanliness had been exer-
cised, their seeking would not have been
unrewardpd.
In the sense that such people are human
beings, they are deserving charity; but in
vain the sense of common propriety, worth
and decency, they sacrifice all claims upon
respectable people.
In military regulations there are stringent
rules for cleanliness as means of promoting
health and strength, and we have sometimes
felt that the same power exercised by munic-
ipal authorities to prevent extreme personal
uncleanliness as sanitary measure alone
would be wise action and great blessing to
the community

The Guion steamship Wisconsin. which Ar
rived yesterday from Liverpool, brought
party of 400 Mormon immigrants. Elder
n. n. Hodges has charge of the party. Hia
lieutenants are W. D. Williams and Gotfiieo
Jersey. Twelve elders who went abroad IL
months ago and gathered 10 the converts
came in the party. Lawrence Young, Z
grandson of Brigham Young, was one OF the
Elders. The converts came principally from
Great Britain, though Switzerland, Ireland,
and Germany each contributed q few. The
immigrants looked veil as q rule. They
were mostly 10 families The majority are
farm lsborers. They will be distributed at
various points in Utah None of the Nor
mons were assisted to this country. All OF
them either had money or had been sent TOR
by friends in Utah.
Elder William Pantor, one of the party,
has four wives. He took No abroad with
him and during his travels picked up No 4,
who is rather nice-iooking young woman OF
about 20. At the Barge Office wives Nos. 8
and 4 were met by wives Nos. and 2, who
had come on from Utah, for family reunion.
The two senior wives are not nice looking.
All four stood on the pavement in front Of
the Barge Office while their husbands bag
gage was being placed on truck. and con-
yersed with each other quite socially.
The matron of the Barge Office tried to con-
vert No. from her new faith, and the junior
wife of Elder Pantor admitted that she did
not want to 60 to Utah, but said she could not
stay here 90 she had no money. The young
Mormoness seemed to be quite taken with
fine looking porter employed in the Barge
Office, and when she started with the others
for Castle G arden she looked back at the por-
ter as if she expected him to rescue her. He
said that il was shame to make q Mormon
