Reason for Honor.

The French republic has been pass
ing through q crisis of scandal in
which the corruption and rumors Of
the corruption of Representatives and
other public men have been the daily
theme. Some honorable and brilliant
regulations have been destroyed in a
day.
Not many months ago, before the
scandals had become public, a provin-
cial gentleman came to Paris. In
speaking with an acquaintance, he
said, complainingly:
"The deputies from our department
can't be of much account in Paris,
think. hear nothing said of them"
'Dcn't lose your good opinion Of
them yet said the Partisan.
The other day the same provincial
gentleman, coming to Paris again, met
his Partisan acquaintance once more.
"Ah," said the provincial, Eve send
good men to the chamber from our de-
partment! Not word ever said about
them in Paris-not a word. All, they
are honorable men for your

for public man in not supplying too

population among the German inhab-
itants of Austria is but SIT per thou

Italians in Austria is 500, and with the
Slavonic races 793. Of 100 marriage
able women in the German districts
of Austria, forty-one find husbands;
among the Slavonic races the percent

for this showing is that in the German

How tho Patent once wa. Saved.

When, in the war of 1S12-the Office
having been removed to a building of
its own two years before-the British,
who had taken the city, trained their
guns upon the patent office, DR.. Thorn
ton, throwing himself directly before
the guns, cried:
Are you Englishmen or Goths and
Vandals? This is the patent oflice-a
depository of the ingenuity and inven-
tons of the American nation, in which
the whole civilized world is interested.
Would you destroy it? Then let the
charge pass through my body"
And the building was spared. Twen-
ty-four years afterward, however, it
was destroyed by fire, together with
everything in it. And with this came
the beginning of the present building,
added to from time to time, till at last
the noble pile stands complete as it is

has scheme for saving lives just the
same. The plan is such novel one
that the chief felt disposed to think
OYER it.
The countryman suggests to the fire
marshal that when man is caught in
a position where he cannot be rescued
in the usual manner the streams OF two
or three engines be directed toward
him, one from directly beneath him
and two at angles. but directed against
the wall. The man is 20 jump down
on to the stream from directly beneath
him and this. it is calculated, will hold
him in midair The other two streams
viii keep him against the wall and
also directly over the stream from be-
meath. The three streams are then to
be so manipulated that the man will
be let slide gradually down the side Of
the wall. Accompanying the letter is
a rough sketch illustrating how it
should be done. This may be dcs-
perate MEANS" the writer says, ''but
desperate cases require desperate rem
edies'' The tone OF the letter leaves
no doubt as to the mans earnestness
and he asks for the chiefs candid opin-
ion as to the value of his discovery.

are noted for accuracy, power and

John Hay has also contributed. This
famous writer has sent some of his best
work which will be rendered by the

DR.. Abbott considers the following

sion to the pastorate of Plymouth
church there came change in the rem
dering of music in American churches.
There was natural and healthy
growth of an American school of COM
posers and the churches favored the
home production. While MIR. Beecher's
hymnal was a mastery work in its
way, his selections were principally
from the old school of authors and art
lists. The .quartette choirs of limited
rcpertoireywere being gradually sup
