But Mr. Murphy Had q Gun and the
Child Was Saved.
ADMISSION, ALA, Aug. 90.-Mr Murphy,

to be thankful that he is good marksman =,
blessed with extraordinary steadiness Of

with his gun on nis shoulder. His attention
was at once attracted by low, monotonous,

and looked around for the cause of it, 1t

Why Men Cross Their Logs.
From the Chicago Herald.

Men generally cross their legs when there
is least pressure on their minds. You will
not very often find man actually engaged
in business with his legs crossed. The limb
at those times are straighter than at any
other, because the mind and body work
together. A man engaged in auditing ac-
counts will seldom cross his legs; neither
will man who is writing an article or who
is employed in any manner where his brain
is actively engaged. When at work in a
sitting posture the limbs naturally extend
to the floor in perfectly straight line A
man may cross his legs il he is sitting in an
office chair discussing some proposition with
another man, but the instant he becomes
really in earnest and perceives something to
be gained, his limbs uncross. he bends for
ward toward his neighbor and begins to uss
his hands.
kind in general There are particular cases
that are otherwise. There are certain men
of distinguished talents who, when en-
gagged in literery work, twist thor legs into
intricate coils. One Of the most eminent
dramatists in this country never abandons
himself to deep thought without comfort
ing his limbs which are long and slender,
into kind Of an angular scroll work under
the table. Another man, whose poems ap-
pear most frequently in the magazines,
seems actually to wiring his emotions out of
his legs as if they were sponges dipped in
the divine af1lstus. However, these are ex-
ceptional cases of mannersms by which
certain men OF brains are insensibly affected.
Some men twist their boards when they are
in deep thought, others scratch their heads
abstractedly, while others again chew their
finger nails. To this absent-minded genus
belongs now aud then a man who cannot
ponder severely without making his legs
express all the emotions OF thought.

They Have Complets System indie
pendent of the Government.
From The Co'rhtU Magazine.
1t is not to be imagined that q veritable
nation of shop-keepers like the Chinese,
would remain, owing to the refusal of their
government to convey their correspond
ence, destitute of postal service. They
have, indeed. very complete system of
their own entirely independent of the state.
In every town Of any size may be seen ten
or dozen shops with the sign, "Hsin Chi, !"
letter offices, or postal establishment, sus@
pended outside. Their business is to carry
not letters only, but small parcels, packets
Of silver and the like, usually to other towns
in the same province, but also on occasion
to other provinces. They are, in fact, gen
eral carriers; or, perhaps 1t would be fairer
to say, they occupy much the same position
in China now as did the agents at Har-
witch or Dover of the postmaster general
at the beginning of the eighteenth century
so miscellaneous are the packages commit
ted to their charge
They have no fixed tariff varying accord
ing to weight, and there appears to be no
limit, within reason, to the size of letters or
parcels they will carry The charge for let
ters is fairly constant, but in estimating the
cost of conveyance Of parcels the siza and
shape alone seem to be taken in account.
A rough calculation is then made, which the
sender is at liberty-if he can--to abate. In
fact, the transmission OF parcels is regarded
as being quite as much matter of bargain
ing as the purchase Of pig. AS there is no
monopoly, each postotice tries to underbid
its rivals, and competition sometimes verges
on the ludicrous Since the Institution

how many complaints doubtless quite
groundless) have there not been
from would-be purchasers of stamps
who have been kept waiting at the
counter while the postmistress and her as
sistant compared notes on last Sundays
fashions! In China this deplorable state of
things ls reversed. There each postofflce
has its touts, who go rounds at very short
intervals to each place of business to beg
for the privilege of forwarding their letters.
The bankers are tho best customers, and as
post time draws near, post time is fixed at
the open ports by the departure of the local

and interrupt the clerks with an entreaty
to be allowed to convey the letters they
have not yet copied. He is dismissed for
half an hour, and meanwhile two or three
rivals will appear with the same request.

A DR. sADFUL PRISON.
No One Who Enters Ever Returns to
the World gain.
From Free Russia

Some fifty miles from ST. Petersburg,
upon the lake of Ladoga, there is a small
granite island entirely occupied by a
fortress. 1t is Schlus'elburg, the dreadful
prison of state, worse than the French bas-
tile, worse than the fortress of st. Peter
and st. Paul, with its TroubessZoi aud Ale
neevsky Ravelins and its underground coils
The most resolute of the revolutions
lists, men and women, who have taken
part In actual conspirecies. whom
1T is not considered safe to keep in the fort
ress of Peter and Paul, are sent there. The
absence of any inhabitants except those
employed in service renders it possible to
isolate the prisoners to degree unattain-
able anywhere else. No one is allowed to
land upon the island. Sentinels have orders
to shoot any one who approaches. If the
near relatives of prisoner inquire concern
ing him at the police department in st.
Petersburg, they are sometimes told 'alive"
or dead" Sometimes no answer is given.
The soldiers ard guards are themselves
prisoners, who mingle only with each other,
and are carefully watched on tbs rare occa-
siuns when they are allowed to make visit
to the mainland. 1t was possible to estab-
lish secret communications with even the
most jealously guarded prisoners 10 the st.
Petersburg fortress. But the fortress of
Schlusselburg remained dumb like the grave
II is, though some Of the best-known men OF
the revolution party, in whom the greatest
interest was felt among the whole body of
revolutionists. were kept there. We rarely
could even tell whether they were alive or
dead. A few months ago, however, our
friends in Russia received some news from
this place of endless misery. 1t is very brief
only such as can be conveyed upon bit
of paper Struggled with the greatest danger
through some friendly hand. 1t merely
tells which OF the prisoners are dead and
which are still alive, but even this summary
is eloquent enough. We learn from it that
out of the fifty-two prisoners sent there In
the course of the last eight years twenty, or
ehout 40 per cent, are already dead. Sew
eral of those VINO survive should be added
to the list of the dead. They are insane,
and have lost what is as precious If not
more precious to man than life.
