ROTHSCHILD'S DIVERSION.
An Incident of Baron AIbert's Recent
Tour in tho TyroI.

An Incident of Baron Albert's Recent
Tour in tho Tyrol.
Baron Albert Rothschild, of Vienna,
Is an enthusiastic photographer. A
short tine ago he was in the Tyrol
and had found good point of view
half way up one of the hills rising
above the valley of Cortina di Am
pezzo. Accordingly he set to work to
arrange his apparatus ensconced in
the black velvet covering. When he
emerged, fat couple stood before
him whose dialect Immediately showed
them to be well-to-do Berliners. The
husband promised he would pay the
photographed handsomely if he con-
sented to take their portraits with the
background of Monte Christallo or
the AntelaO for the uncles and aunts
at home. Baron kothschild, highly
amused at the self-sutficient tone OF
his Would-be patron, said his appara-
tus was for landscapes only; but this
was pooh-poohed by the Berliner, who
know better, and gave his name, add
ing that he was q banker, who could
afford to pay for capacities. Baron
Rothschiid, depressing his laughter,
when the fat lady arranged her dress
and put on her sweetest smile, took
the portraits. They proved a success,
and the Berlin banker gave strict in
functions that he must have at least
four copies by noon the next day, as
he had fixed his departure for that
hour. On the following day Baron
Rothschild's servants took the photo
graphs to the Aquilla Nera Hotel,
where the baron's autograph on the
beautiful portraits standing In bold
relief against Monte Christallo created
q sensation.

This Is GosnaI Truth

If you are visiting wife whose
husband is absent says writer in
the Ladies' Home journal. never pro-
long your stay until his return, as
few men care to find guests in the
house to entertain when they return
tired and nervous from wearisome
railroad journey. If your visit is
only half finished it would be tasteful
to make some excuse to be absent for
a day at least on the husbands return.

HusS... unnealtnIo,t OF Lands.

If st. Petersburg is the most insal-
ubrious of European capitals, Russia
altogether is the unheaIthiest country
iu the civilized world. The latest
statistics Of the medical department
for 1857 show a less satisfactory state
OF the public health than those of the
Immediately preceding years. The
cases of Infections diseases, although
far from having been chronicled, were
much more numerous in proportion to
to the population than in England,
Holland, Italy, Belgium, or Prussia;
leprOsY was found in the sixty-five
districts and 6l5 fresh victims were
registered during the year; there were
twenty-one blind to every 10, 900 in
haDltants-a greater proportion than
anywhere on the continent; and 81
10Y persons poisoned themselves.
Every year fifteen more persons in
every 1000 die in Russia than il
England, which. according 10 the
Novoe Nremya makes an unnecessary
loss Of l., ., 900 persons annually
sacrificed through inadequate medical
assistance. An example OF this latte:

Respite for the Birds.

For a great many years the Audo.
bon society has been trying to per-
suade women that birds wings and
birds skins did not look we'll on b ats.
The purpose of the society in under
taking such a missionary work was
mot so much aesthetic as humane; not
SO much to induce women to dress
well as to put stop to the wholesale,
ruthless slaughter of little feathered
songsters merely to satisfy within
of fashion. However good its inten.
tions may have been. the society dio
not meet with gratifying success.
Many a woman opened her purse to
pay simultaneously her annual contri-
button to the society and modiste's
bill that included among It's items one
for trimming hat with stuffed bird.
just now the news is announced that
the OBJ ect of the society has been at
tanned in part and that women are in
a fair way of ceasing the use of birds
skins for ornaments. Only, this re-
suit is due, not to moral suasion, but
to new within of fashion.

Not fan Enough.

History has recorded that a foreigr princess to whom Henry VIII of Eng land offered his hand in marriage sent back the pointed answer that eff she had two heads she would gladly have placed one of them at his majesty's disposal" f" This allusion to the fate of Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard was good speci- men of the epigrammatic smartness of that period; but, says Mir. David Kerr, an equally creditable performance has been furnished by our own age.
 Just at the time when vague reports were beginning to creep abroad that Germany was meditating fresh extension of her frontier at the expense of Holland Dutch official of high rank happened to be visiting the court of Berlin, where he was handsomely entertained. Among other spectacles got ur to amuse him a review was organized at Potsdam.
 "What does your excellency thing of our soldiersE" asked Prince Bismarck. es one of the regiments came marching past in admirable order.
 ''They look as if they knew how % ACH4ACO lilC NAostOLp SA6NClyy D4t they are not quite tall enough"
 The prince looked rather surprised ,t this disparaging criticism. He made nc answer, however, and several other regi- ments filed past in succession; but the Dutchman's verdict upon each and all was still the same: 'Not tall enough"
 At length the grenadiers of the guard made their appearance-a magnificent body of veterans, big and stalwart enough to have satisfied even the giant loving father of Frederick the Great; but the memorable critic merely said, "Fins soldiers, but not tall enough"
 Then Prince Bismarck fairly lost pa tience, and rejoined, somewhat sharply, ''These grenadiers are the finest men in our whole army; may I ask what your excellency is pleased to mean by saying that they are not tall enough:"
 The Dutchman looked him full in the face, and replied with significant empha sis, ''I mean that we can flood our coun try twelve feet deep."-London Tid Bits

HoN. J. 4. BLACK, Arizona's Commits sioner of Immigration. was in toa-n this week looking up data for his forthcom- ing pamphlet.-Nogales Herald.
 A letter from cur Nogales correspond ent, published in another column. would indicate that the matter of .looking UP data for his forthcoming pamphlet" was only incidental to the real object Of Com missioner Blacks visit to Nogales. viz: that he went there in the interest of "our paper, the governors paper. you know" accompanied by GIr. Gil, one of the editors of the organ" The report of our correspondent is confirmed by the following:
 Ed. $. Gill, one of the proprietors of the Phenix Republican, spent couple Of days in town this week in the interest Of his paper"
 Query: Who foots the bills rendered for Mir. Blacks travelling expenses-the organ or the territory? This pregnant inquiry must be answered when the leg islature convenes. It is therefore i'm portant that loyal republicans should nominate republicans on the legislative ticket whose loyalty is unquestioned. Every day brings to light new reasons why the "democratic-republioan com bine," as exposed in the Phenix Gazette and Herald, was entered into with a view of sacrificing the democratic and republican parties to the vile scheme Of securing a legislature which would be subservient to the interests Of q clique, to the end that honest government might be Overthrown and private enterprises grow rich upon public plunder.

TIE CITIZEN sincerely regrets for the sake of the party that Governor Vol ney, in the discharge Of his public duties, is continually doing things which are wholly indefensiole, either from the standpoint Of party policy or public morals, as will be seen by the following deserved rebuke from our morning con temporary, the Star:
 "There should be a law enacted by the next legislature requiring all proelama- tions of the governor to be published in those papers having the largest bona tife circulation in the section of the territory the proclamation is required to be pub lished. In cass of rewards offered for the arrest of criminals, the Justice Cf such law IS evident. It might be just as well for the next appropriation bill to contain a provision governing this matter, as the chief executive is liable to give the publication of prOclamati0na to only such papers as are personally friendly to him, no matter how insignif- icant their circulation. This IS one way a dishonest executive can, If he desires. tax the people to subsidize his personal interests"
