AS OLD-TIME STORY.
The Mriy.mnal the reign of George
m. Was the time of those gallant rob
ber*, whose line clothe*, high bearing,
rook lea* hardihood, and t frequently )
good birth took away from the auperfi
cial observer mnch of the darkness of
the crime actually surrounding their
deeds and lives.
On# in partionlar vat notorious
enough in his brief dav for most of the
qualities I h#T deeeribed.es sometime#
attributes of these knights of the road.
He wee well connected, too, his ancle
e clergyman in e high eharch
appointment. ' His person was elegant,
his manner courtly, and he was rash in
an extraordinary degree. Mingling
freely in fashionable society in his real
name, his deeds of robbery were the
talk of the town nnder his assumed
one. His proper designation was
Richard Mowbray— that belonging to
the load, his sole aoaree of revenue,
was Captain de Montmorency—a
patronymic high-sounding enough. I
do not mean, however, to infer that any
suspected the man of fashion and the
highwayman to be the same person ;
that was never known till the event
which I am going to relate took place.
Richard Mowbray had spent his
own small patrimony, year* before
the period at which this narrative com
mence#, in the pleasures of the town ;
it had been melted in play-honses.faro,
horseflesh, and hazard; he had exhaust
ad the kindness and forbearance of his
relations, from whom he had borrowed
and begged till borrowing er begging
became impracticable. He had no more
extremes of life ; and, moreover, when
debts and poverty stared him grimly in
the face, he knew not one useful art by
which he oonld support existence or pay
dividends to his creditors. What was
to be done* He eluded a jail as long
as he oonld, and one night, riding on
horseback, and meditating gloomily on
his evil fortunes, he met—covered by
the darkness from all discovery—a
traveler well monrted plethoric—
laden with money-bags, and bearing
likewise the burden of excessive fear.
It was a sadden thought—acted
upon as suddenly. Resistance was
not dreamed of. Mowbray made off
with bis booty, considerable enough to
repair his exhausted finances and to pay
his most pressing creditors. It was
literally robbing Peter to pay PanL
And so by night, nnder shelter of its
darkness" did the ruined gentleman be
come the highwayman. People who
knew his circumstances whispered their
surprise when it became known that
Rtobsrd Mowbray had paid his debts,
and that he himself made more than his
customary appearance. Now this fine
gentleman was ever clad with the new
est braveries of the day; and in his
doable character many s conquest did
he make, for ke disburdened ladies of
their jewels and parses with so fine a
manner that the defrauded fair ones
forgot their losses in admiration of the
charming deepoiler, and Richard, in
both his phases, drank deep thoughts
to pleasure till he drained the Circean
cop of its veriest dregs. Just ae even
pleasure became wearisome, when
festive and high-bread delights palled
npon his sated passions, and the lower
extremes of licentiousness and bard
drinking, raffling, and fighting, diver
rifled by the keen excitement and
threats of danger, which distinguished
his predatory existence, began to satiate,
a new light broke on the feverish atmos
phere ef his life. He loved. Yes 1
Richard Mowbray, the ruined patrician.
De Montmorency, the gallant highway
man, who had hitherto resisted every
good or evil influence which love, pure
or earth-stained, offers to bis votaries,
succumbed to the simple charms of a
young, unlearned, unambitious girl, so
youtbfni that her tastes and habits,
childish as they were, oonld be scarcely
more so than suited her years. Plavia
Hardcourt had just attUuned her six
teenth year—had never been to a board
ing school, and loved nething so much
—even her birds and her pet rabbite—
aa her dear old father, an honest conn
try gentleman, and a worthy magistrate.
Fiavia had never been even to Lon
don, for Mr. Hardcourt resided at Ave
ling—a retired village, about twenty
miles from the metropolis. Barring
fox-hunting and hard-drinking, the old
gentleman, on his side, took pleasure
only in the pretty, gentle girl, who,
from the honr of her birth—which
event terminated ber mother's exist
ence, had made her his constant play
mate and companion. And it waa to
this simple wild flower that the gav
man of pleasure, haughty, reckless, un
principled, improvident, irreligious,
and rash, presumed to lift his eyes, to j
elevate his heart; and, oh, stranger
■till! to this being, the moral antipodes
of her pure self, did Fiavia Hardcourt
surrender her yonthfnl, modest, inesti
mable love. It mnst have been her
very childishness and purity that at
tracted the desperate robber—now
about to commit liis worst and most in
excusable crime. He had accidentally
met Mr. Hardcourt at a country hunt;
had, with others of his companions,
been invited by that honest gentleman
to a rustic fete in honor of little Fla
vin's natal day —a day, he was wont to
observe, to him remarkable for com
memorating his greatest misfortune
and his in tensest happiness ; and Mien
and there the highwayman vowed to
win that pure bad of innocent fresh
ness and rare fragrance, or to perish in
the attempt. Master Richard Mow
bray I unscrupulous De Montmorency I
I will relate how yon kept your vow.
He haunted Aveling Grange till the
chaste young heart, the old father's be
loved darling, surrendered itself into
the highwayman's keeping. Perhaps
Mr. Hardcourt was not altogether
best pleased at Flaria's choice; bnt
then she was his life—his hope—and he
trusted, even when he gave her to a
hnsband, that her love and doting af
fection would still be his own ; besides,
Mowbray was well connected—boasted
of his wealth ; whereas a very.moderate
portion would be hers—was received in
modish circles, into which the good old
magistrate oonld never pretend to pene
trate; and, in short, what with his high
bearing, his handsome person, and in
sinuating tongue, Mr. Hardsonrt had
irrevocably promised to bestow his
tree sure into the keeping of the profli
gate, who numbered himself almeat

years enough to have been the father
of the young girl, whom he testified the
utmost im|tatirnee to call wtfe.
It was during the time that Mr. Mow
bray was paying his court at Aveling
thai the neighborhood began to be
alarmed by a aeries of highway rob
beries, whieh men said could have been
perjwtjruted but by that celebrated
knight of the road—Captain IV Mout
mntvncv. No oue oould atir after
nightfall without an attack, iu which
numbers certainly were not wanting.
" Cudgel roe, but we'll have him
yet," said old Mr. Hardcourt. " I
should glory royaelf in going to Tyburn
to are the fellow turned off. Ay, and 1
would take my Flavin to see him go by
in the cart, with a parson and a nose
gay, eh, my little girl ?"
"Oh, uo, lather," aaid Flavia, "I
conld not abide it, though he is auch a
daring, wicked tuau, whose name makes
me shrink with fear and terror whenever
I hear it I could never bear to see
such a dreadful sight—it would haunt
me till my death."
The betrothed pair were together to
riait Ixmdon.
" But 1 shall not ilarc," said the girl,
as walking together in the old-fashioned
Dutch garden, she leant her young,
sinless head on her guilty lover's breast;
M 1 shall not dare take such a journey,
for fear of the highwayman, Montmo
reaev."
" Fear not, my sweet Flavia; thia
breast shall be pierced through ere De
Montmorency shall cause one fear in
thine."
" Richard, sweetness, why do you
leave us so early every evening ? At
sunset, I have remarked. These are
not London habits. Ah, does any other
than poor Flavia attract you? Oh,
Richard, I must die if it should be so !
I could not live, and know you were
false."
" Sweetest and best! my purest love,
could any win me from TOU ? Were it
a queen/think it not, I—l—the truth is,
Flavia, I have a poor, sick friend not
far from here ; he ia poor, ill, and—
I-I "
"Say no more, dearest Oh, how
mnch more I love you every day ! How
good, how noble, thus to sacrifice !"
And the blusuing girl threw herself
into her lover's arms.
Ah ! how differently beat these two
huuiaa heart*. One pregnant with love,
goodness, charity, sympsthv ; the other
rank with hypocri'sy, dark with un
belief.
They same to town unmolested, yon
may be sure; the stranger, because a
few day* previously a terrible affair had
occurred. Old Lord St. Hilary, the
relic of the btaugatron* ot formerdavs,
had been robbed and maltreated. Men
were by no means so favored as the beau
texe. Above all, a family jewel of im
mense value had been taken from his
person; and on recovering from his
wonnds and fright, he swore vengeance.
He took active measures to fulfill his
vow.
The wedding waa to take place at the
old relation's, Mrs. Duchesne's house,
and on lagging wings the day at length
arrived. The marriage was celebrated,
and the happy pair were in the act of
being toasted by the father of the bride,
when a strange noise was heard below;
rude voice# were upraised; oaths mut
tered; a rush towards the festive
saloon. The company rose.
" What ia it ?" asked Mr. Hard
court.
The door was broken open for answer.
The officers of justice filled the room.
Two advr,r.ced. *' Come, captain," said
they, " the game is np at last It's an
awkward time to arrest a gentleman on
his wedding day; but duty, my noble
captain, duty must be done."
Entranced*, frozen beyond resistance
or appeal, the bridegroom wav fettered;
and the bride! ahe stood there, her
hazel ejes dilating till they seemed
about to spring from her head.
" My Richard ! what is this ?"
" Scoundrel * I" said Mr. Hardoourt,
" release my son."
The men'laughed. One of them was
examining the necklace ef Flavia; it
contained a diamond in the centre
worth a ransom. " Where did you get
this, miss ?" he said.
Her friends answered, for the terror
stricken girl was inarticulate, "Mr.
Mowbray s wedding gift"
" Oh, oh ! This waa the diamond
Lord St. Hilary was so mad about. By
vour leave," and the gem was removed
from the neck it encircled.
Bhe comprehended something terri
ble. She found speech : " Whom do
you take Mr. Mowbray for ?" said she.
"Whom? Why the renowned Cap
tain de Montmorency."
A shriek—so fierce in its agony as to
cause the criminal to rebound—struck
on the ears of ad present; insensibility
followed, and Flavia was removed. So
was her bridegroom—to Newgate.
The trial was concluded—justice was
appeased—the robber was doomed. And
his innocent and unpolluted victim .
For days her life bad hung on a thread.
But youth and health closed for a short
time the gates of death. She recover
ed. Reviving as from s dreadful
dream, she could scarcely believe in the
terrible event which, tornado-like, had
swept over her. She desired her father
to repeat the circumstances. Weeping,
and his venerable gray hairs whiter
with sorrow, Mr. Hardcourt complied.
She heard the recital in silense. Pres
ently clasping her father's hand, " Dear
parent," she said, "when—when ?" She
could utter no more; nor was it neces
sary ; he comprehended her bnt too
well.
"The day after to-morrow," here
plied.
" Fatter, I must be there."
"My Flavia, lay dearest daughter!"
" Father, I must be there! Do yon
remember yottr jeat ? Ah, it haeoome
to pass in bitter earnest. I most be
there!"
Nor wonld the be pari fled ; she per
sisted. Her physician at length urged
them to give her her way. It wonld,
he said, be less dangerous than denial.
Near Tyburn seats were erected.
Windows, balconies to be let ont to
hire. One of these last, the most pri
vate, was secured; and on the fatal
morning Flavia waa taken thither in a
dose carriage, accompanied by her
parent and her aged cousin. She shed
no tears, heaved not a single sigh, and
suffered herself to be led to the window
with a strange, immovable calmness.
Soon shouts and the swelling mnrmur
of a dense crowd reached her ears. The
procession was arriving. The gallows
was not in sight, but the fatal cart
would pass close. It came on nearer,
nearer—more like a triumph, that dis
mal sight, than a human fellow-man
hastening to eternity.
She clenched her hands, she rose np,
straining her fair white throat to catch
a glimpse of the criminal. Yes, there
he was, dressed gayly, the ominous
nosegay flaunting in his breast, doll
despair in his heart, reaching from
thence to his face. As the train passed
Flavia's window, by chance he raised
his hot, bleared eyes ; they rested on
his pure virgin wife. The wretched
man uttered a yell of agony and cast
himself down on the boards of the
vehicle. She continued gazing, the
smile frozen on her face, her eyes
glassy, motionless, fixed.

The Fate of Theodora Burr.
A correspondent of the New York
AYunyWisf writes to tlist new spaper to
j correct a story now going the round
and founded tin a traditisui that Mrs.
Theodosia Alston, the only dsughter of
Aaron Burr, was a victim of Gibbs the
pirate. ** It is a pity," said the writer,
"to spoil this tragic tensation, but
happening to know the truth in part, I
give it to the public. The history of
Mr. Burr's daughter, I believe, remains
a mystorv, as to her fate. She proba
bly perished at sea in a storm, which is
: well kuown to esnse manv a wreck be
tween New York and the Carolina coast.
" About the year 1830, while the
writer was a studeut in Columbia Col
, lege, the pirate Gibbs wis token on the
high seas, put in irons, and brought to
I New Yotk for trial. The late Commo
dore Kearnev, who was for rnauy years
| the sernor ofteer in the United States
Marine Service, was txmrding at the
same house with the writer. As soon
as an opportunity presented, the Com
modore made known his purpose to in
j Testlgate the doarn of Theodosia Burr.
" Commodore Kearnev called at the
prison, and as Gibbs well kuew nolliiug
could save his life, he freely recounted
the names of the vessels he had token,
and all the incidents of interest, con
nected with his dsring career. But he
utterly denied having any knowledge
whatever of Mr*. Alston, the vessel on
which she embarked, or anything re
lating to her fate.
" Commodore Kearney, on reporting
j the result of the interview, gave it as
his deliberate judgment that the tradi
j lion connecting Theodeaia Burr's name
with the pirate Oibba was a myth. And
say person familiar with Commodore
Kearney aa qualified for the examina
tion, will coincide with hia judgment"

In China, a visit of ceremony is eon

time to allow of proper preparation by
those who are to receive you. Your
rank being stated on your card, you are
received according to it by the gentle
man upon whom you call. He cornea

your rank; he bows and yoti bow, while
each says " Chin chin," "and you are in

pauses and politely proposes you should

and each is seated, attendants enter

the customary compliments are passed,

Rights or Colored ClUieus.
The right of the colored race to go
into theatres of New York has Ween
some time before the courts. Two j
grand juries have dismissed complaints
against Parmer A Jarret and Josh Hart
for violating the no-called Civil Rights
law of 1873. Four cases lately came up
in the Supreme Court, Chambers, be
fore Judge Barrett, against Wallack's
theatre.
Mr. A. Oakey Hall moved for a rule
obliging the colored plaintiffs to re
ceive unverified answers, and claimed,
under a special law of 1854, that in all
actions founded npon statutes giving
fines and penalties such answers were
permitted. lie stated that his clients
were advised to take this course to es
cape annoyance, as well as receive legal
protection.
Ex-Judge Culver opposed, and claim
ed that thiß statute was repealed by the
Code and that tha management must
admit or deny on oath whether it ex
cluded for color or not.
Judge Barrett leaned strongly against
biro, bat took the papers. A similar
uit in Albany against Manager Rich
ardson, of the Opera House, resulted
in a disagreement of the jury. New
York city managers have, 011 legal ad
vice and authority both in England and
America, as they say claimed and exer
cised the right to view their theatres as
private business places, and exclude
whom they please by refusing to sell
tickets and without reference to either
black or white, Heathen Chinees, or
Jim Nyes. And .they deny that the
Legislature can force them, while man
aging a private business, to conduct the
latter according to a penal statute. It
will now be at least a year before the
cases in question come to trial, if they
ever do.
A Singular Celebration.
Chicago is a singular city. It is re
markable for its marriages and its di
vorces, for ita sensation stories, its
bonse raising and its rats. It waa lately
engaged in "celebrating," by a holiday,
music, flag-dying and gefteral rejoicing,
the anniversary of the conflagration
from which it suffered so severely two
years sgo. A Western'paper tells of a
"man who had settled down in a neigh
ing village for six or seven years, and
was noted for his qniet, sober manners.
Bnt it waa observed that on one particu
lar day of each year he put off his cus
tomary sedateness, put on his best
clothes, took a holiday, gave himself
no to fun and frolic and generally end
ed in retiring to bed in bis boots. An
inqniry into the reason of his curious
conduct disclosed the fact that the day
thus set apart for a private celebration,
was the anniversary of his wife's death.
That man must have hailed from Chi

In the year 1400, Ginevra ile Amiera,

Antonio Houdtuelii. Boon afterward
the plague broke out iu Florence; Ui
nevra fell ill, apparently suoettmbed to
the malady, and being proaonuoed
dead, was Uie aawe day consigned to
the family tomb.
Borne one, however, had blundered
; in the matter, for in the middle of the
night, the eutombed bride woke out of
' her trance, aud badly aa her living rela
tive# had behaved, found her dead one#
atill lea* to her liking, uud loat no time
in quitting the aileut company upon
whose quietude ahe had unwillingly in-
J truded. Bpeeiliug through the sleep
wrapped streets as awifty aa hereliugiug
cerements allowed, (linevra aought the
home from which she had so lately
been boras.
Housed from his slumbers by a
knocking at the door, the disconsolate
widower of a day cautiously opened an
upper window, cud seeing a shrouded
figure wailing below, iu whoso upturn
<>d face he recognised the lineaments of
the dear departed, he cried, "Go in
peace, blessed spirit," snd shut the
window precipitately. With aiuking
heart and slackened step, the repulsed
wife made her way to her father's door,
to receive the like benisou from her
dismayed parent.
Then she crawled on to an uncle's,
when the door was indeed opened, but
only to be slammed in hsr face by the
frightened man. who, in his hurry, for
got even to bless his ghostly sailer.
The 000 l night air penetrating the un
dress of the hapless wanderer,
made her tremble and shiver, as
she thought she had waked to life oulv
to die sgaiu in the cruel streets. "Ah !
she sighed, *' Antonio would not have
proved so unkind."
This thought naturally suggested it
was her duty to teat his love aud cour
age; it would be time enough to die if
he proved like the real. The wsy was
long, bat hope renewed her limbs, and
soon Ginevra was knocking timidly at
Itondinelli'a door. He opened it him
self, and although startled by the ghast
ly vision, calmly inquired what the spirit
wanted with him.
Throwing her shroud away from her
face, (linevra exclaimed: "I am so
spirit, Antonio; I am that (linevra you
once loved, who was buried yesterday
buried alive!" and fell senseless into
the welcome arms of her astonished, de
lighted lover, whose cries for help soon
brought down bis sympathising family
to hear the wondrous story, and bear
its heroine to bed, to be tenderly tend
ed until she had recovered from the
shock, and was as beautiful as ever
again.
Then came the difficulty. Was Gi
nevra to return to the man who had
buried her, and shut his doors agamat
her, or give herself to the man who bail
saved her from a second death ? With
such powerful spec al pleaders as love
and gratitude on his side, of eonrse,
llondineili won the day, and a private
marriage made the lovers amends for
previous disappointment.
They, however, had no intention of
keeping in hiding, but the very first
Sunday after they became man and wife,
appeared in public together at the

of Ginevrm's friends. An explanation
ensued, which satisfied everybody ex

sisted that nothing but her dying in
genuine earnest could dissolve the orig

The case was referred to the bishop,
who, having no precedent to curb bis
decision, roee superior to technicalities,
and declared that the first husband bad
forfeited all right to Ginevra, and must
pay over to Rondineili the dowry he had
received with her—a decree at which all

The Bank of England.
In 1694 William 111, who was then on
the throne, was going to war with
France, and he greatly needed money.
Had it not been that the credit of the
English government was so poor, the
money might have been raiseu without
appeal to what was then considered by
many to be a desperate snd revolution
ary scheme. There vu fierce opposi
tion to the bank on the part of the lords,
who considered it a strengthening of
the moneyed power at the expense of
the landed interests. Bnt the money
had to be raised; the need was no ur
gent that the aristocracy were compell
ed to sacrifice their class scruples and
interests.
The inventor of the scheme was
William Peterson, a Scotchman by birth
and a West Indian by residence. In
the West Indies his friends said that he
had been s missionary, his enemies that
he had been s buccaneer. He was an
ingenious oud ardent person gifted with
great [lowers of persuasion. The scheme,
which he hail first proposed in 1691, lie
succeeded, three yeap later, in getting
the great Montague to take up.
The plan waa simply that the govern
ment should borrow twelve hundred
thousand pounds at eight per cent,
which was then n very moderate rate, and
which would have been very favorable to
th borrowers. In order to induce capi
talists to advance, the subscribers were
to bo incorporated into a company to be
called "The Governor and Company of
the Bank of England." There "was
much fierce opposition, bnt the dream
of the obscure adventurer soon became
a solid fact.
This WAN the origin of that groat in
stitution which is now the greatcNt
moneyed power in the world, and which
was for many years the bnlkwark of the
English government. During those
wars in which France was endeavoring
to force the Pretender back npon the
throne, it was the bank which supplied
the government with money. Hod
France succeeded, of pourne the new
king wonld have refused to pay inter
est on money which was spent iu resist
ing biro. The bank was therefore great
ly interested in upholding the existing
government. It was, through some
generations, a whig institution.
Among the noteworthy incidents of
the Ocneral Conference of the Evangeli
cal Alliance is the reception of a friend
ly letter from the Old Catholic Congress
at Constance, " detailing the objects of
Old Catholicism, and thanking the
Americans for their sympathy. It is
signed by Bishop Hemkens, Von
Bchnlte, and other leaders. The letter
is a replv to a proposition from the
Kev. Dr. Scliaff, of the United States,
on behalf of the Evangelical Alliance,
inviting the Old Catholics to send three
delegates to the Conference meeting in
New York. The invitation was declined
on account of the shortness of the time
intervening, and thedifficnlty of finding
delegates sufficiently acquainted with
ihe English language for the perform
ance of such service.

Spurt In the Sandwich Islands.
llilo ia one of the very few place# on
these islands where you can see a truly
royal sport the surf boartL It re
quires a rough day and a heavy surf,
but with a good day it i<? oue of the
finest sights Hi the world.
The surf board is a tough plank alxmt
two feet wide and freui six to twenty
feet long, usually made of the bread
fruit tree* Armed with these, e jMSity
of lull, muscular natives swim out to
the first line of breakers, and, watching
their chance to duck under this, make
their way finally, by the help of their
nudertow, iuto the smooth water far off
lieyond all the surf. Here they bob np
and down on the swell like so many
ducks, watching their op|Krtuuity.
What they seek is a very high swell,
before which they place themselves, ly
ing or kueeliug on the surf-board. The
great wave dashes onward, but aa its
bottom strikes the grouud, the top, uu
retarded iu its speed and force, breaks
into a huge comber, and directly before
this the surf-board swimmer in proprlled
with a speed which we timed and found
to exceed forty miles per hour. In
fact, he goes like lightning, always just
ahead of the breaker, ami apparently
down hill, propelled by the vehement
impulse of the rearing wave behind
him, yet seeming to h*Te a speed and
motioa of his own.
It is a very surprising sight to see
three or four meu thus dashed for near
lv a mile toward the shore at the speed
of an expraaa train, every moment about
to lie overwhelmed by a roaring breaker
whose white crest was reared
high above and just behind them,
hut always escaping bis ingulf
ment and propelled be/ore iL They
look, kneeling or lying on their long
surf-boots, more like eouie curious and
swift-swimming fish—like dolphin*
racing, as it seemed to us—than like
men. Oiioe in a while, by some mis
chance, the cause of which we could
not understand, the swimmer was over
whelmed; the great comber overtook
him; he was fiuug over and over like a
piece of wreck, but instantly dived, and
resppearvd beyond the outside of the
wave, ready to take advantage of the
next As uoceaaful shot launched them
quite high and dry ou the beach far be
yond where we stood to watch. Occa
sionally a man would stand erect upon
his surf-board, balancing himself in the
Unling water without any apparent
difficulty.
The surf-board pixy is one of the
ancient sports of Hawaii. We were
told that few at the younger genera
tions are capable of it, and that it is
thought to require groat nerve and
coolness even among these admirable
swimmers, and to be not without danger.
Solar Heat as a Tool.
Dnnng the recent building of a
bridge in Holland, one of the traverse*,
465 feet long, was misplaced on the
supports. It was an inch out of line,
and the problem was how to move iL
Exiieriment proved that the iron ex
panded a small fraction of an iuob for
every drgreo of beet it received. It was
noticed that the night and day temper
ature differed about twenty-five de
grees, and it was tbought this might be
made to move the bridge. In the morn
ing the end <> it of place was bolted
down securely and the other end left
free. In the boat of the son the iron
expanded, and towards night the free
end was Itolted down, and the opposite
end was loom-ned. The contraction
then dragged the wbele thing the other
way. For tvso days this experiment was
repeated, till the desired place was
reached. We find no record that the
heat of the eon has ever been employed
in this way before, but the contraction
and exf>au*am of iron bars by fir* heat
ha* already been used to move heavy
weights over short distance*. Broken
walls and strained roofs and arches have
been brought into place by simplv heat
ing iron ft*)* till they expanded, then
taking up tlae alack by screws and nuts,
and allowing contraction by cold to pull
the wall or roof into place.
French Politeness.
There are m any instances of French
politeness current; the stoir, for exam
ple, of the old Due Doudeauville, of the
last of the old school which faded away
in Charles the Tenth's time with legiti
mate royaltj. He wan alowly coming
dowa stairs one afternoon from a visit,
when he met s youngster of twenty,
bounding up, three steps at s time, to
the drswi fig-room which he bad inat
quitted. Both stopped short. The
Duke, by right of age. stood against the
wall; the boy, four stairs below him,
stood against the banisters. Both bowed
low, both were bareheaded, neither
would pass the other. This deadlock
contiaiucd until the younger man step-
Bd up, saying, " I oWy, my lord
tike; oliedieuee is the first doty of
youth." This story, however, is ro
markabfv like one of Lord Btair and
Louis XJV. The King signed to the
embassador to get into the carriage be
fore his Majesty; Lord Btair bowed and
obeyed without any loss, whereupon
Louis obaerved to his courtiers that a
less polite man would have made a cer
emony of declining.
Female Training.
A lady, writing to a Chicago paper on
the subject of female training, says:
" The education and training sf Ameri
can women is altogether defective in its
way. Instead of being tanght house
work, and thereby becoming conversant
with the routine of domeeticoccnpations,
they devote their leiaure hours to the
reading of novels. Instead of learn
ing to fit and make their own dresa
es, and their fathers'andbrothers'ahirta,
they are allowed tago gaddiug about the
streets, and that, too, at honrs that they
onght to be at home tinder their moth
ers' cyea, darning stockings or prepar
ing the next morning's meal. I say that
young girls, from eight years and up
wards, ought to be made to walk at least
five miles s day, in sunshine or rain,
even if they oould ride that distance for
five cents. This ia the way that 1 pro
pose to apply the remedy. In no civil
ised country in tho world is the domes
tic eduestion and training of woman
considered disgraceful or undignified
excepting the bnitod Btatos of Ameri
ca."
Follow the Example.
A certain mechanic found, at the age
of twenty-one, that he possessed a fancy
for books, cigars and liquor—extrava
gant tastes all. Well, he thought the
matter over, and, knowing that he must
ho dependent on his skill for a home
and education, he decided to lay out in
book* every year the aum which he esti
mated it would cost a moderate drinker
for liquor. He also calculated what it
would cost him for tobacco and cigare,
for theatres and Sunday riding, and set
apart that money in the same way. The
result was, that in a few years be owned
a library of several hundred volumes.
In this library he has a row of shelves
labelled Linuor, Tobacco, Theatres
Livery Stables, which are now filled
with the books benight with the money
ha would otherwise have appropriated
for these purposes. Young men, this
little story needs ne comment but
think of it.

The Mlory of Ann Hurts.
Ann was born of honest parents, and
trained up to industry, but aha *b*u
dotted bcraelf to vice. She had two
husbauda in three yeara, and during
that period she besatne veraant in the
ways of the London tliievea. She went
one day to a mercer, well dresaed, with
a pretended footman attending her.
Having purchased more than two hun
dred pocnada' value of ailk and velvet,
which betug a larger sum than ahe had
upon her, she requested the mercer to
fo home with her, and be wonld receive
is money. Putting the goods into n
hackney coach, she rode off with him to
Dr. Adams, who kept a mad house, and
informed the doctor that thia was ths
gentleman of whom she spoke in the
morning. In e trice, three or four lusty
fellows seined the msreer, one by the
srras, another by the legs, a third by
the centre, and drugged him ia. while
the poor mercer cried oat far nis two
houdred pounds.
'• Ay, sy," quoth the doctor, " the
Etor gentleman is very bad, indeed,
e's raving mad. Tie him quickly
down in that chair, and presently shave
his head."
All the while hia cry was cither for
hia goods, or hia money. The doctor
aaid :
" Fray, madam, ace how hia lunacy
makes him talk at random."
Shaking ber head, she replied :
" True, air ; but ia there any hope of
hia recovery V
'• Yon must know, madam, that there
are three kinds of freuxie*. according
to the throe internal senses—of imagina
tion, oogitation, the memory. This
geutlemau is affected with the worst
of frenxiea, but I hope he will be hotter
in a month's time."
Meanwhile Nan give the doctor five
guinea*. giving him strict charge to
take care of ber bus band, and she would
grudge no expenses.
The distracted mercer exclaimed :
*• She's lying. She's none of my wife!
My wife ia at heme in Ludgate street.
Stop her! atop her! atop her! She
has cheated me of my ailk and velvet.
I am not mad! 1 am not mad! hut a
parcel of rogues hero will make me run
out of my senses."
Doctor Adams then amid to hia men :
" Poor gentleman, he's very bad, in
deed. We must bleed him, and give
him a groat giyater at night Confine
him to a room where tharo's no light at
all, and bind him faat down hand and
foot in the straw, and for one week give
him nothiuglaot water gruel, with htile
at no bread in it; but the week after,
if his temper decreases, wc may venture
to give him a little ptisan Mr tb, boiled
with some busked barley."
Thv mercer, hearing these directions,
cried out;
" I'll have none of my blood taken
from me! I have had enough taken
from me already without paying for it
I want no giyater—l tell you that I am
in my right sense*. I'll nave nose of
year* gruel and broth. _ What! cheat
me and starve me too! No, no, I am not
a lunatic."
Quoth the doctor;
' " Yon shall not be starved, air. What
diet 1 prescribe yon now ia to reatore
yon to yonr health again."
"To health again! I think yon are
going to take it from me, aa the base
woman has my goods."
All hia remonstrance* were to no
purpoae. The doctor's directions were
followed. Nan, however, sending a
letter to the mercer's wifs. informing
her where to find her husband, she
went, along with some friends, and pro
cured hia liberty.
A Teat CAN.
A. T. Htewart, of New York, recently
sued Christopher Martin to recover
$154.G6 of the defendant for a bill of
drv get*!* aold to hit wife on the 23d of
last Mar. Mrs. Mary A. Martin testi
-11 rd that the waa the wife of the defen
dant, and reaided at No. 158 Jt-rmv
avenue, Jersey City ; that on the 16th
of lost April her husband abandoned
ber, giving her at the time $lO, and that
he gave ber no more money until the
Court decreed her $lB a week daring
tho pendency of the aait for divorce ;
that the reoeired thia amount from the
26th of May up to the 26th of August,
aince which time abe baa received noth
ing from him ; that her husband owned
a honae in JeraeyCity worth $9,000,0ne
in Harlem worth SB,WO, a Central Park
lot, and thirteen kta in Brooklyn, be
side* a stand in Washington Market.
The articles which she purchased from
the plaintiff, she uaid. were neocasary
for herself and her child.
The defence waa that the articles
were not necessary, as the term "neces
sary" ia understood in law, for the use
of the defendant's wife, it being proved
that they lived separately, and that in
a ease where good* were sold to the
wife without the knowledge or ooaaent
of the husband, fte is not liable to pay
for them.
The Court instructed the jury that a
husband is liable for necessary articles
furnished to his family if he docs not
supply them himself with the necessar
ies of life, and in this ease it was purely
a question of fact for the jury to deter
mine whether the goods were necessary
for the wife and child at that time; aud
if they fonnd that they were, the plain
tiff waa entitled to recover such amount
as the jury saw fit to give him, with in
terest from the time the goods were
sold. ....
The jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff for the full amount claimed.
Wedded Lift Only the Beginning.
"According to the love-idyl of the
period," writes T. 3. Aldrieli, " when
Laura and Charles Henry,after unheard
of-obstacles, are finally united, all cares
and tribulations and responsibilities
slip from their sleek backs like Chris
tian's burden. The idea ia a pretty one,
theoretically, but, like some of those
models in the Patent Office at Wash
ington, it doesn't work. Charles Henry
dors not go on sitting at Laura's feet
and reading Timothy Titoomb to her
forever; the rent of the cottage by the
sea falls due with prosaic regularity;
there are bakers and butchers and
babies and tax collectors and doctors
and undertakers, and sometimes gen
tlemen of the jury, to be attended to.
Wedded life is not one long amatory
poem, with recurrent rhymes of love
and diove, and kiss and bliss. Yet when
the average sentimental novelist has
supplied his hero and heroine with
their bridal ontfit and attended to that
little matter of the marriage certificate,
he nsnally tarns off the gas, pnts up
his shatters, and saunters off with bis
hands in his pockets, as if the day's
business were over. But we, who
are honest dealers in real life and dis
dain to give short weight, know better.
The businea is by no means over—lt is
just begun. It is not Christian throw
ing off his pack for good and all, but
Christian taking np a load heavier and
more difficnlt than any he has carried. **

Of all the inhabitants of Memphis,
says a correspondent, writing of the
yellow fever tilers, perhaps not 10,0(10
sleep within the city limits; ths rest
leave in the evening and remain in the

fear of the disease that the country
people tarn from citisens as from lepers,
and will have nothing to do with those

inhumanity which generally accompany
such terrible plagues as this have been
conspicuous here. The brood of Hatan

Young Mechanics.
There ia no class of the community
upon whom the future welfare of the
country more essentially depends than
upon the rising generation of young
mechanic*. If they are intelligent,
sober, industrious, and consequently
independent, able and accustomed to
judge lor themselves, and governed in
their conduct by an enlightened view of
their own beat interests; if they are
men of this sort, the mechanics, and es
pecially the young mechanic*, will form,
in conjunction with the young farmer*
of the country, e bulwalk against mo
nopolies and corrupt politicians, and
save the republic. If, on the other
hand, they are ignorant, idle, dissolute,
and, conaeqnenur, poor, and depend
ent upon those who are willing to trust
them—if oar mechanic* should unhap
pily become audi a class they would
soon be converted into the mere tools
of a few rich and artful men, who, hav
ing first stripped them of every sense of
acu-respect, and every feeding proper to
virtuous eititens, would use them as
passive instrument* for promoting their
own ambitious objects, and for the en
actment of laws which are beneficial to
nobody but the artful few and base
demagogue* with whom they originate.
It ia true of the mechanical art* aa of
any other profession that "knowledge

A Desperate Struggle.
Two rope-walkers, Kolter and Perge
ritcb, bad a mortal combat oa their
rope daring a late exhibition in Hun
gary. The acrobats were to meet mid
wsv, and then to pern each other.
When the clock struck It the acrobats
emerged from their respective windows
dressed in tights, end without balanee
poles. Pergowitch suddenly uttered an
angry exclamation, and dealt Kolter •
terrible blow on the head. Kolter stag
gered and fell, but in so doing succeed
ed in clutching the rope with one hand,
while with the other he grasped the left
leg of his assailant. Pergowitch now
fell likewise, but psseed his right arm
around the rope, so that he hung upon
it in comparative security. And now
began a life-and death struggle. K
ter, with his right hand, tried to drsg
Pergowitch from the rope, while Pergo
witch kicked Kolter with his right foot,
and with the left hand endeavored to
leoeen his antagonist. The strnggls in
mul-sir lasted perhaps a minute, when
Kolter suddenly uttered a last ery and
lost bis hold. He fell to the ground,
striking it violently, and expiring in
stantly. While the people gathered
round the oorpee of poor Kolter, hie
murderer on the right rope managed to
get on hie feet again. With a diabolical
expression on bis face he uttered a yell
of triumph.
Brutal Murder of a Bey.
Reports of a brutal murder have
reached hero from Polk township, one
of the back towns of Monroe county, Pa.
The locality being so isolated, minute
particulars have not been received. It
seems that a boy, aged ten years, named
James Muffley, was visiting at hia
grandmother's, a Mrs. Hawk, in Polk
township. Tho old lady, going out in
to a field at some distance from the
honae to dig potatoes, left the lad in
charge of the bourn. When abe re
turned toward evening ahe found tho
house looked up, and looking through
the window saw that the place had evi
dently been ransacked. She procured
assistance, the door was forced open,
and a brief search discovered the body
of tho little boy lying in tho cellar in a
pool of blood, with the throat out from
ear to ear. A further search through
the house revealed to Mrs. Hawk that a
sum of money, amounting to |4O or SSO
was gone from a bureau drawer, and also
that s quantity of clothing waa missing.
Tbeeontents of the bureau drawers were
thrown about the floor, and the whole
house had been ransacked. It ia sup
posed that the crime waa oommitted by
two tramps who bad been about some
days. Search has been made for them
without success.
A Caution to Auctioneer*.
We understand, aaya the LAberty
(Frederick oouuty, Md.,) Banner, that
onr county court last week decided a
point that particularly interests the
auctioneer, the bidder, and the person
making the sale. The case was this;
A farm was " knocked down " to a bid
der, *ho afterwards refused to comply
with the terms because no one bnt the
auctioneer bid against him". The ease
was taken into court. The auctioneer,
who was a witness, testified that the
Surohaser's statement was oorrect, and
is eourt dsslarsd the sals a fraudulent
one and not valid. The substance of
this deeisien is, in plain words, that an
austionssr has no right to " run up"
property on s bidder simply te make a
geed sals.

made in harmony with this grand idea
of a world's fair if it were made what
we may oaU ao industrial proeeeaion of
tbe States and Territories. In snob a,
procession, with each State and Terri
! Tory represented by a delegation of its
own people, bearing in front on a large
banner the State or Territorial eoat of

ceases, aa far aa practicable, of tin
leading and peculiar branches of in
dustry borne in tbe line of march, we
would have a splendid and instructive
spectacle It would be a passing pana
-1 rama of tbe States and Tamtorie#, re
presenting in bold relief and in actual
, life tba people, tba industries, the
product*, tba climate and tbe peculiari
ties thereof in every Stat# and Territory
lof tbe Union. More vividly than any 1
other device would audi a preeewuou

great stretch of tba imagination to
reach tba impreaaton upon citizen nd

j dred thousand man, women ana chil
dren, embracing tbe fishermen of Maine,
tba tar kilns of North Carotins, the big

This procession would appropriately be .
led by tbe amy and navy, as represent

with oar civic societies as completing

we think it embodies an idea for the
celebration of the aue-hundrrth anni-1
Ternary of our national independence J
which, from Its attractive novelties and
instructive groupings of American life,
and industry, will at our grant world's

Preserving Silk.
A method few preserving milk is thus
described:
The milk, fresh drown from tha sow,
is placed in cans or brittle*. which are
filled as nearly fall id milk ss possible,
and immediately corked tightly or her
metically sealed. Tba cans or battles
am then placed in n bath of water heat
ed to tba same temperature aa tbe milk,
in such a manner aa to allow a free cir
culation of water beneath tuid around,
but not over them. The temperature of
tbe water Imtb is then slowly raised to
hetweea 100 degrees and 170 degrees
Fahrenheit's thermometer. Tba water
is kept at this temperature for a greater
or leas length of tune, according to tbe
period daring which it is desired to pre
serve the milk. One hour will, it is
claimed, preserve the milk four or five
weeks. Five boon besting is enough
for eight months or a year. The fire is
then withdrawn and the bath allowed to
cool slowly, after which the cans and
bottles ar* withdrawn and the operation
is completed.
An essential of success in this opera
tion is, that the vessels designed to con
tain the milk should be perfectly clean
and sweet, and that the milk itself
should he perfectly pure snd unadul
terated. If the temperature be carried
higher than that named above, the milk
acquires s cooked taste. If the temper
ature be not raised so high, snd main
tained a suitable length of tunc, tbe
milk sours.
Sharing a Pig.
Men of talent often fail from turning
tbeir talents in a wrong direction. Chief
Justice Chase, for example, would new
er have made a successful barber. He
lived ffor a while in hto youth with hto
untie. Bishop Chase, who prepared him;
for college. One morning he told the
budding Salmon to kill and dress a pig.
The inoipient st ttesman was not much
of a butcher, and, when he oame to the
delicate operation of scalding the pig,
horror! the hair set But in his ex
