A REMARKABLE STORY.
To Obtain Money n Dashing Woman Mar
ries "a Pretty Girl.


An extraordinary story, first published
by Vienna newspaper and then gen
orally disbelieved, has since been con-
tirmed in every particular. "a young
man, calling himself Count Sander Way,
who pretended to have fallen out with
his family in Hungary, married last
August teacher at Klagcnfurt, aged
twenty-seven, daughter of an Inspector
of Woods and Forests there. The mar
riage took place on a lonely farm in
Hungary, certain Father lmre otticia-
ting at the wedding ceremony.
"The newly-married couple lived to-
gether for some time, and afterward
visited the girls parents in Klagenfurt,
where the father-in-law was constantly
fleeced by tho alleged Count. Quarrels
arose, and ultimately it turned out that
the young Counts tales of himself were
all inventions. The persons he referred
to were imaginary, and the inspector
was convinced he was swindler. Some
thing still stranger, and indeed unpar-
alleled, soon came to light. Ere long it
was found that the so-called Count was
in reality, woman of thirty-siX, the
Countess Sarolta Way, daughter of the
late Colonel of Honveds, Count Ladis-
laus Way, one of whose daughters, named
Sarolta, had been educated as boy.
."All her life she had worn male attire,
and recently had appeared in the uni
form of the Honveds. She published
collection of poems under tho name
Sander, and associated with young men,
who were not in the secret, in manly
amusements. From Pesth, whore eccen-
tricities of that sort are hardly a rarity,
she dis appeared about year ago, after
which she was not again heard of till
her arrest, on the demand of her NOM
inal father-in-law, at Klagenfurt, 1t is
probable that Father Imre was not a
priest, and that the girl, in going
through the form of marriage, only
executed another eccentricity in order
to procure money, of which she was in
great need. ."-Vienna Cor. London Stand

What They Have Accomplished During
the Past Ten Years.
The first announcement that courses
of study were to be offered to women by
professors of Harvard College, says Sec
retary Arthur Gilman in his tenth an
nual report, was made in circular da-
ted February %, 1879, and the first
examinations for. admission to tho
classes occurred in September of the
same year The report which is now
presented is, therefore, for the tenth
year of completed work. The first year
began with twenty-five students, who
called for so many courses of instruction
that they formed twenty-nine classes,
and brought into its service Immediately
seven professors, four assistant profess
sors and twelve instructors-twenty-
three teachers. The tenth year finds us
with 115 students, distributed into fifty
five classes, and directed by fourteen
professors, eleven assistant professors
and sixteen instructors forty-one teach
ers in all. From the first year to the
close of the tenth there has been con-
tinual growth.

BIRDS IN MIO-OCEAN.
Sir Edward Arnold Gives n Poetic Account
of Their Charming Grace.

u Il
of Their Charming Grace.
Sir Edwin Arnold, in an account of
his voyage to America, says:
Every day we see, playing round the
ship and skimming up and down the
wave-hollows, companies of lovely little
terms and sea swallows, the latter no
larger than thrushes. These fearless
people of the deep have not by any
means followed us from the land, living,
as gulls often Will, on the waste thrown
from the vessel. They are vague and
casual roamers of the ocean, who, spying
the great steamship from afar, have
sailed close up, to see if we are rock
or an island, and will then skim away
again on their own free and boundless
business.
"Yonder tiny bird, with purple and
green plumage, his little breast and
neck laced with silver, is distant one
thousand miles at this moment from q
drop of fresh water, and yet cares no
more for that fact than did the Irish
squire who lived twelve miles from n
lemon
"If his wings ever grow weary, it is
but to settle quietly on the bosom of a
great billow and suffer it for time to
rock and roll him amid the kissing
spindrift, the milky flying foam, and the
broken sea-lace which forms and CLEANS
and disappears again upon the dark
slopes.
when he pleases, a stroke of the
small red foot and beat of the wonder
full wing launch him off from the Jagged
edge of his billow, and he fits past us
at one hundred knots an hour, laughing
steam and canvas to scorn, and steering
for some nameless crag in Labrador or
Fundy, or bound, it may be, homeward
for some island or marsh of the far-away
Irish coast.
"Marvelously expressive of power as
is our untiring engine, which all day
and all night throbs and pants and pulses
in noisy rhythm under the deck. what
clumsy, imperfect affair it is compared
to the dainty plumes and delicate mus
cies which will carry that pretty, fear
less sea swallow back to his roost!"-
