An Old Maids Lament.

81 would never have been an old
maid" said lady of 40, eff 1 had
known as much 20 years ago as I
know now. When l was at mar
riageable time of life / heard so much
about unhappy couples that was
afraid to become a wife. But have
looked around in later times and I
have changed my mind on the subject.
Last year took up list of 20 wives
of my acquaintance whom I had
known before their wedlock, and to
whom had spoken about their ex.
periences in life. l found that Is of
the 20 were happily married, that
four of them did tolerably we'll with
their husbands, and that only one of
them / can only say that she is q
grumbler married to a growler, and
would be unhappy anyhow, and as TO
the other four, the fault is not all on
one side. / suspect that the 20 mar.
ried women have spoken of are fair
specimens of wives in general, most
of whom find by experience that it is
marriage that makes life worth living.
As l am myself the soul of amiabil-
ity, | believe that would have made
happy marriage if had not been
frightened by the stories that l heard
20 years ago" New York Star.

Rank Among Actors.

There is no place under heaven in
which hierarchical grades are SO rig
idly established as in the dancers
greenroom at the European opera
house. The star bears exactly the
same relation to the subjects as the
queen does the ladies of the court,
and the subjects the same relation to
the coryphees as. say, to the ladies of
the bed-chamber to the dressers of
her majesty. The quadrille is mob
of novices having no rank to speak of.
Were subscriber to pit or box
tier, who has his entree to the green.
room, engaged in a conversation in
the wings with a member of the quad
rille, and coryphee to come up, the
former would have to go away. The
same etiquette would be observed by
coryphee if subject came; and if
the star deemed to speak to the
gentleman the subject would be ex-
pected to fall back in an attitude
which would express the deep
sense she felt of the honor done her
by the star in de;gning to address the
admirer Of the subject.
A star would think herself called
upon to resent being invited to dine
with an inferior member of the corps
de ballet unless first her leave were
first asked. The etiquette would be
to ask her what members it might be
agreeable for her to meet, and wheth-
er, If she did not desire to make a
choice herself, it might be agreeable
for Mile. Such-a-One to be invited ?
Nor would it be thought rude if she
made choice excluding the danseuse
so named. Subjects stand in rela-
tive position toward coryphees. But
young ladies of the quadrille should
be only asked to meet each other

A young newspaper man who last

with pair of horses, but, both man
and beast being new to the business,

they. AT the close of the day the
farmer rather testify criticised the

his doom was sealed, but mustered
courage to reply: IL know the rows
are rather crooked, but the sun was
exceedingly hot to-day. and it warped
them" The answer turned away the
farmers wrath, and instead of being
discharged, the new conner was given
a much easier and pleasanter job, and

feelings by an expedition against q
tribe called the Egbas and took sew
eral thousand prisoners. A traveller
writes Of their fate, that when within
about five miles of Abomey he was
shocked by the spectacle of living
man tied to cross near the side Of
the path pursued by him and his es-
cort. The poor wretch was, it is true,
alive, but not far from dead. His
face was swollen by the sting Of in
sects, and his whole body was SCARED
by their bites. The cross was ofrough
hewn wood and in shape similar to
that known to every Christian. The
victim was tied tightly with a rope
made of vine which grows thickly
in the Dahomey forests. The rope
sank deep into the flesh and he was
utterly unable to help himself. The
lower portion of the body indicated
that some wild animal had been gnaw.
ing at him.
Hardly had the traveller passed one
than he came upon another and SINH
lar spectacle. All the way to Abomey
hundreds of wretches were exposed
upon crosses. some Of them dying and
others dead. His guard told him
that all there were Egbas captured in
the recent raid and punished in this
way for resisting Redazin. who claim.
ell to be the lord paramount ofthe Egba
country. In one place where cross
had stood was curled up an immense
python. The serpent had apparent
ly been making some effort to swallow
the man on the cross, for the latter
was crushed to jelly and the cross
lay recumbent and broken on the
ground. But the pitiless rope or vine
still held the remains to the timber,
and the serpent was disappointed in
its meal. The doomed misefables had
been exposed to their fates in the
course Of the previous three days, and
within week the sun, the insects and
the wild beasts and birds would leave
little more than the bones. Already
the vultures we're lowering about, and
in some instances had begun their
feast.-Nashville American.

The Valley of Death.


"An expedition is being organized
here" said President Willis. Of the
board of government exhibits, (which
if it is as successful as we anticipate,
will contribute in results some unique
features of the government exhibits
that will excite general attention.
Nothing has been said about it here
tofore, but / am now ready to announce
its object, which is to make an accur-
ate biological survey of the famous
Death Valley in southern California.
This valley is in great measure a
terra incognita. 1t is true that the
Wheeler survey gives us something of
its typographical features, and it is
true also that Capt. Charles E..
Berdine, curator Of eggs in the Nat
ional museum, made reconnaissance
of the valley in 1867, but the amount
of accurate knowledge Of the country
is very small indeed. Scores of per-
sons have penetrated it, and their
dried bodies are there now, showing
how fearful must be the heat. 1t is
$50 degrees in summer and 10 de-
grees in winter. Everything that
dies is shriveled up. Nothing rots,
SO dry is the atmosphere.
"Now we propose to send eight or
ten of the most distinguished scientists
that can be found in the country on
an exploration tour Of the valley.
One man, Vernon Bailey, is already
working his way into the valley from
Nevada, and in few days Prof
Theodore S. Balmer will move up
from the south and join him. Other
members of the expedition will be
projected into the valley in short
time, when actual scientific work will
be fully commenced. The expedition
which will occupy three months, will
be one of great peril, as the heat is
greater than that of any other section
of this country, and more intense than
that of the famous desert of Sahara
Mirages are frequent, and water can
only be had by digging for it. The
expedition will start in with eight
barrels of water. The pack animals
will be mules and burros, and there
is a question whether even they will
be able to survive the fearful heat
and labor incident to the trip.
There are rumors of immense de-
posits of gold and silver in the mount
aims. They may be fairy tales, but
there is good tradition that once
upon time gold-hunter ran across
a red-painted bucket in the valley, in
which was rich chunk of gold and
beside it pick-ax and the shriveled
remains of a man. The hunter re-
turned to California with the gold and
was seized upon by the miners and
tortured for the purpose of getting
him to tell all that he knew. He re-
lated the story of finding a mountain
of gold and silver, but efforts to dis.
cover the exact locality have always
resulted in failure. Now, we expect
to show on map at the exposition
just what there is there in animate
and inanimate nature. We have a
right to expect to find species not
known to natural history.-Chicago
