As pnrt of one of the walls of this old pile shewed symptoms of ;m approachin r collapse, the peasant oh tained pertni --ion to ivinov-e it. and a few days nohe set to work to demolish it.

The wine tTowvr last no time in drawing the at tention of heal nnthpia riaus to his dis covery, and a careful investigation re vealed further the pres. nee of frag ment of clothing which had been re duced almost to dust, as well as of a rusty weapon and two pice-, of w.Hid. The skeletons are to ! placed in the Thin'ranv riiisi'iun. and prcat pains are l-inu" taken to insure their transjv.rt thith. r in the same position as that in which hey were lounn. There is no doubt that some tragedy of the middle a;res, of which possibly some record may survive, led to the confinement of these unfortunate victims in the man ner dcseribotl.

Kven if a lejrislatnre tlares to .juestioii or pro test it is quickly frightened into acqui escing by an alarinluir rejiort from the minister for war. Thus the military class controls povernment and has laws passed to suit itself and prevents all at tempts to cut down or to aliolish its powers. It intimidates the statu not less really, though less openly, than the pretorian tfuard intimidated old Home! Kinps and ministers do indeed assure the public tiiat they chiefly en deavor and desire to preserve peace, but in the next breath they call for larger funds and more recruits. Kaisers meet and kiss each other on both cheeks; they extol the sweetness of brotherly lore; they attend each other's priiml maneuvers and then they increase the trarrisons ahnr their respective fron tiers. A stranpe method tnis for testify ing to their peaceable intentions: CATFISH THEIR ONLY FOOD. Negroes of Savannah Catch Load a of Thcni. The city of Savannah. Ia.. is ad' vantafreously situated on the river of the same name, advantajreouslr for some things not set down in peoprctphies orjruute liooks. r or instance, the dock laliorers there are indulpinpr themselves in the expensive luxury of a strike; and here is where occurs the applica tion of the advantages overlooked. The Savannah river swarms with cat fish. The strikers are nearly all dark ies. The wenches" ask no better enjoyment than to sit on the banks of the stream and catch these cattish, and the 'bucks'' esteem catlisli nearly as highly as they do watermelon. So it happens that this combination of the river, the colored lalorers, the colored women, the catfish and the strike threaten to make the shipping business of Savannah experience a very bail time. The darkies are as obstinate as they can well le; they can live at vcry 1 it tie expense thanks to the advan-t.-ifres above noted and they will stand a l.np tussle before they knuckle. All of which is very instructive, as it demonstrates apain that no man is ab solutely helpless ttntil he is fullv di vorced from natural opportunities. Certainly there is lettcr fNd than cat fish but on the other hand cattish is better than no food at all. HISTORIC MONTREAL. The Mother or Two It tea The litrth plare of Famous Mm.

CZAR NICHOLAS OF RUSSIA. The Cruel Muila ICevlew of His Soldier Winch lie Held. Emperor Nicholas sent an equerry to SitK-ria for life for harinfr mislaid a let ter from the kinjr of Prussia, nays a writer m the Philadelphia Times. lie made four thousand soldiers take off every stitch of clothinjrand stand naked iK'fore him simply liecaiise there was a button or two missinr to a uniform and it must le rememlicred that this nude review took place on a day when the cold was so intense that the least exposure meant death to an ordi nary Kuropean and as for haviutf men and women flopped to death, that was a common form of amusement of his iicperiul majesty. Kven for a comparatively trivial of fense in Russia, such as intoxication, he would order the dclin-juent to be "passed by the ranks," which meant that every soldier in the repiment. pr.v viiled with a stick on purpose, pave a blow 011 the back of the culprit as he ivas slowly drapped down the line. A fatal lloppinp.-when we consider that epiments in those days were composed f four thousand men. Nicholas him self never drank or smoked. Manly ln.l--iilencr. There is an attorney in town who is tellinpof a little e.H-rienee he lately J had with nn nld character from the rural districts, says the Minneapolis Journal. It seems that the pranper went to the lawyer's office for the pur pose of pettinp a deed made out for some swamp land he was sellinp. The listener of woes heard the old man's request, and then pickinp up pen and paper he proceeded to jot down the par ticulars in the deal. "Your name?-' from the attorney. ''Philip Ward." from the farmer. "What W your wife's name?" "Kliza A." "What does A stand for?" "I don't know never aske.l her," replied Mr. Ward, uncon cernedly. "Don't know your wife's middle name, and you an old man and married to her for a pood many years, as you say? Why, this is rich. What's the reason you never asked her what her middle name was?" "Well, see here, younp fellow," returned the un inquisitive Ward, "I'm a pretty inde pendent cuss alius hare been and allns intend to Ih and the fact is I'm too in dependent to ak her." Some idea of the amount of carbon winch impregnates the air in cities es pecially in those burninp soft coal, may be gathered from the inrestipa tions of an Knplish scientist who has Wen enpaped in computing the amount of soot deposited from London air. Col lect inp the soot deposited on a patch of snow in C'anoubury, aWut eipht inches in extent, he obtained from it two prains of soot As Loudon covers one hundred miles this would pire for the whole area one thousand tons. As the quantity measured fell in ten days a inoullf allowances would need one thousand horses to cart it off, and these stretched in a lino would extend four miles.

It was the prince's duty as commander of the vessel to rea.) prayers to the assembled crew every Sunday morning, his secretary reading the lessons. One day a hrother officer ventured to sufrjrest at the nicsstable thnt the cap tain would do well to study the prayers a little more. 'Why, I read 'em every Sunday!"' was the prince's astonished reply. "Yes. sir; but you do not read them quite correctly," answered the officer. "I don't!" exclaimed the prince. "Not quite, sir. You invariably say: Ye have done those things which we ou-lit to have dune, and we have left un.loue those thinjs which we ourht not to have done.' Of course, it is very flattering to us all and the ship's com pany, but " The speaker ;rot no further, for his remarks were drowned in a roar of lauphter led by the prince hiuisclf. PARISIENNES AT THE BATH. I'ulilie It:it!iinir i the Itiver Seine Many I reneh woiiieu Kxpert sm imuiers. The Seine is a narrow, jrrecnish, tnake-like river, and it d 'sn"t look in viting from a distinee. Hut on enter intr the swimming haths formed of l;t like sides, containing tlu dressing riw.tns. it looks clear and cool, says a Paris correspondent of the Providence Journal. I.lack balhindrcsscs trimmed with red braid can Ik- hired for a fr;:ne upward, and hundreds of ladies, with their children, daily afford themselves amusement at these places. There is no effort at fashion, jrentlemen not ad mitted, and the top Ileitis covered by canvas to shield them from the eyes of th' people on eUihankuietit or lniule vards. Swimmers aiuoiir the attend ants are frequent, and thuy dive and float, swim and sink at will, and teach the children nu.l ladies to do the same. "Some of the Frenchwomen are expert swimmers, and they tfo around in their black.- bajftry suits, chasing aKiut the platforms, eatinr sandwiches or ilrink in" penny sirups or clarets, an.l end th" pi-rfortuanee liy uivui into tne water and swimming' a race. Trapezes, swiiis, eti.. are suspended a'ovc the water and irymnastie exercis-s are indulged in by the younger and more ambitious. On leaving1 the baths they dry their hair sufficiently, put a crimped per ruque over their own straight locks, a dash of powder and a bit of lip salve (a stick of which every Frenchwoman car ies in her pocket) to slightly color and liminate any dryness, and with a deft djustmeut of the inevitable black veil, my lady i well coiffed and if her dress suitable, can take a drive before po ing home.

It changes place in .Towing as far us the stalk will reach, and wheresoever it turns the (Trass withers and dies.
