bv the police established by His MAJ
iesty, who ordered his ambassador at
the court of France to demand that
this delinquent should be delivered
up to public justice., NJ. de Sartine
acknowledged to the imperial embasN
sodor that the person he inquired
after had been in Paris that, If he
wished it, he would inform him where
lie lodged, and the different gaming
tables and other places of resort which
he had frequented while there but
that he was now gone.
The ambassador insisted that this
offender must still be in Paris, othet-
wise the emperor would not have COM
manded him to make such an applicae
ton.
NJ. de Sartine smiled 1t the increA
duiity of the imperial minister, and
replied to the following effect: "Do
me the honor, sir, to inform the en-
peror, that the person you look for
left for Paris about the 10th of last
month, and is now lodged IN back
room, looking into n garden, in the
third story of IL house, No 93 in -
street, in his own capital of Vienna,
where his Majesty will, by sending to
the spot, be sure to find him."
1t was literally as the French min
lister had stated. The emperor, to
his astonishment, found the delin-
quent in the house and apartments
described: but lie was greatly NOR
tilted at this proof of superiority of the
French police.-CLdm6ers' Journal:

The Fairm6unt public school gave
a delightful entertainment on the last
day of their season, which was highly
enjoyed by the large and appreciative
audience. The efficient teacher, Mr.:
Oliver NJ. Harris, was nntiring in his
efforts to make the affair suceess
and enjoyable to all present; and
certainly it was grand success in
every particular, rejecting great
credit upon all connected with it,
The Scholars showed themselves mas
ters of the situation, performing their
various rolls to perfection, rendering
n programme of some 80 pieces. 1t
must be n source of great pleasure to
Mr.. Harris in reviewing the past ses-
sion to see what good work he has
accomplished in advancing his pupilss
The closing day showed that Ito idle
time had been spent, but that each
day was improved and another round
in the ladder of intellect had been
gained. The address of Daniel Hefs.
Iebower, Esq, an official member. Of
the board of education, was masters
ly effort and held the enraptured ati-
dicnce for one hour. His remarks
on parental authority and obedience
TO the rules of school were timely and
well said. The representation Of the
Young America Dudes was indeed
laughabIe, and set the audience in an
uproar of laughter that knew nd
bounds. The ladies served an ele-
giant dinner of tempting vlahds, with
ice cream, cake and lemonade. We
wottid like to mention all, but space
and time forbid, but we cannot re-
frain from speaking of the dialogues
and those who acted them so well.

Taking Good Advice.

The Baltimore Suns Washington
correspondent writes, under date of
June 18th:
About ts6 inobths since Senator
Kenna, of West Virginia, and Mrs.
Kenna made a morning call at the
White House. Mrs. Kenna, after
listening few moments to the talk
of the gentlemen about offices and
politics, broke in and said to the
President she had just been thinking
that it was all wrong for him to be-
making q batchelor's hall of the White
House; that it was duty which he
not only owed to himself, but to the
county. to put mistress there
She enlarged somewhat upon this
topic, but the President only smiled
and said nothing. Last night, as he
was making the promenade of the
rooms before withdrawing, he espied
Mrs. Kenna and went up to her
Casting a look upon the fair young
bride by his side which betokened the
deepest affection. he whispered in the
ear of Mrs. KeDna, loud enough for
Mrs. Cleveland TO hear, {" You see /
have taken your counsel, and now I
want your blessing" Mrs. Kenna in
stantly replied, " You have it without
the asking

They Wanted Snow.
from The Portland Orcronian.

From The Portland Orcgoninn.
"It takes all sorts OF people to make
n world" is an old saying, so it is not
surprising that there can be found
people here who wish for snow. A re-
porter ran across q party of these
people yesterday sitting in q circle
around hot stove. 1--WE really need
snow," said one, "to protect the
young wheat. The ground is wet and
the wheat plants full OF sap, and if
there should come frcezc-upit would
damage the crop prospects" "Yes,"
said another. "if the ground freezes
the roots OF the wheat will be bl oxen
off and thrown out OF the ground.
We need n good fall Of snow to pro.
tect it," 'Snow is n good fertilizer"
said q third; look what an immense
crop We had this year on account OF
the snow last winter" "Snow water
is the best thing in the world to wash
or battle in," said another; sit will
wash cleaner than hard water with
soap. 1t is on account OF the ammo
nia in the SNOW" Then the csilent man
Clipped in with: 'I prefer to buy my
ammonia at drug store. and | am
of the opinion that in IL given quanti-
ty OF snow there is ten times as much
pneumonia as there is ammonia"
and the meeting adiourned.

How Some Accident, Occur.

The frequency with which umloa,led
guns and pistols are discharged with
fatal results is suggestive Of the sus-
picion that some OF the alleged dcplora-
bic accidents are the result of deep de-
sign.
These peculiar accidents reminds one
of a conversation that occurred between
two negroes.
"Whal has yer got wroppcd up in
dat paper?"
"Dat's pistil, one OBJ dis heah pistils
what easy on dc trigger. what cocks

"Wha!lor does yer want pistil?

smile that was calculated to produce a
shud'lcr replied:

Barbarous Christianity.

1t appears there are some Christians
in the Russian empire who retain one
Enthusiastically pagan custom of their
forcfathers-thc sacrifice of beasts as Il
part of public worship. Not long ago
the 81. Petersburg Zeitumg stated that
this practice was in use on certain oc-
casions at Wyborg, in northern Finland
among the Karctcs. who are devoted ad-
hcrents to the orthodox church. The
iSctet now states that the same ritual
survives among the orthodox islanders
of Mantschinschara, about twenty-five
versts from the monastery of Malaam,
where there is a chapel dedicated to the
Prophet Elias. Several times every
year three oxen, and sometimes more,
are brought by Christian people to the
chapel. in the front OF which they arr,
solcmnly slaughtered amid the ringing
of bells. The dead beasts, however,
are not now burned, as they formerly
were, but are boil d, and the pilgrims,
together with the villagers. make a
hearty dinner out Of the sacred flesh.
