monsieur, 1 know the country a* well as
1 know my own jxvket." And in fact,
after hx.klug at my map, and then at the
lan.hvapc, I found we were above the
Disc, .r, at least, alxivc a river. It was
the Ois-e or something else -let it U the
Oisa. The piiul was to know whether
we wen' still over the Prussian lines or
among our own people. Well, just then,
tlirtvtly under the ear, 1 saw a building,
a sort of fiir.u, with a large stpiare tMiirt
vard in which a nuuilvr of men were
lying down with their piled anus in tlieir
r'mdst. ' .. are they:' "Oh! mon

art* you sure of it ?—lxvauso, for my

we gt then," and down we went, till we
were not more than seven or eight hun
dred unities from the earth, when we
heard a trcrman challenge, *Wcr daV

yard—the men jumped up, s inng their

tr.m to whip out my knife, cut the cord

with a threat that, if he stirr.xl, I'd
throw him over. Then we began 11
mount agi.in, bnt slowly enough, us it
seemed to me, for we could heiur the
music of the bullets, though at that dis
tance they could not have dime us much
harm. I verily believe tliat if we had
leaned over we might have caught them
iu our hands. In fact, I know we
could, for I afterward made the experi
ment at Tours, by setting some chas
seurs to Are on a captive ball.*>u tixed
at alxint the same height. The halls
had no appreciable effect. After awhile
the liailoon stopped, then l>egun to de
cetid once more, with the Prussians still
watching its moti -as,
"' We were again near the river, so we
had n i better alternative than to drop
into the water or into the arms of the
e;• :ny. 1 scribbled a dispatch to let my
colleagues know how wo stood, and sent
t off by a pigeou. hut the bird came
back to the car— no doubt liaving lost its
way. We were still dropping down, so
at last there seemed to be but one ho|>e
—the Oise. As to our getting over the
river to the French side lie fore we fell,

it, sud tohl Spnller it was only the

Survival of the Fittest.
The Chicago Evening Journal suvs
* * * This man was a scholar and
fa antiquarian—a student of nature and
books; lie hail been a man of wealth and
position, bat had lost the one and r- •
nounced the other—had indeed 1 *oc< >me
a misanthrope, and retired with what
means he had left, determined not to live
w hen his property was exhausted. The
late Rev. Dr. Reynolds was a wnrin j*er
vmal friend of the recluse, ami enjoved
relating his first meeting with him. Tic
doctor was slowly passing his ground-,
when hg observed a workman felling
some dead trees. He stopped to remark
to the supposed laborer, that tlie foliage
which remained was much imprrived by
the loss of the others. " Yes," replied
'he tiim in the blouse, still swinging h -
ax, '"it is a case of the survival of the
littest."
"Why," said the doctor, in surprise,
"has that, phrase come down to y<>n V"
"Yes," was the bitter reply, in
my ease it is a misajtplieation."
The doctor saw liis mistake and recog
nised in the man before him one to
whom even his learning and jmlgment
cocld defer.
Shortly after this man died; wilfully
abstaining from food and medicine, reso
lutely determining to know the secrets
•if the beyond- At his funeral the Rev.
Robert Collyer delivered this sentiment; ;
" There arc men who die liefore they are
de:ul. They lose all mtereat in the world
and the world lose® nil interest in them—
mr friend was one of them.''
The Ncit Dominion.
A Victoria dispatch says that at a meet
ing held in that city th following rtre
lation was passed unanimously : That
in deference to the hope arul l>elief ei
presed by Lord Carnarvon that actual
raUway construction will be commenced
by the D minion government in British
Columbia after tire lapse cf a single
summer, it is hereby resolved that a p<- '
tition be presented to) the Provincial
Legislature praying that it may be
pleased to take such action tliis session
its will make clear to the JJominion gov
ernment thut unless the actual construe
tion of the Canadian Pacitic railway be
commenced on or before the first of Au
gust, 1878, according to the Carnarvon
settlement, this province will ask permit
ion from the British government to dis
-olv 2 the connection with the Domini' -n
of Canada. The meeting was the large st
and most enthusiastic ever held in Vic
toria.
On the last division the government
had a majority of five in the house.

would offer. Bnt there are other obsta
cles to i a-overcome in onlerto transmit
tiie- sound of the voice correctly to such
a distance as tliat. Prof. Bell and 1 are

The wonderful little instrument of
whose future value to civilization the in
ventor is so sanguine, consists of a jniw
erful c-unjxmnil permanent magnet, to
the poles of which are attache ! ordinary
telegraph' coiJs of msnlatel wire. In
front of the* poles, surronnded by these
coils of wire, is a diaphragm of iron. A
mouthpiece, wliose function is to con
verge tin- sound on this diaphragm, sub
stantially c< 'iiipletea the arm ngcine-n t. The
ope-rarion of the- instruinent is thiisili-a
crilwd by Prof. Bell: Tlio motion of
stce 1 or iron in front of the poh-s of the
magne-t creati-n a current of etee tricity in
eoils snrrotmding tlio }•. .R- of the* macr
ne', and the duration of this current of
electricity coincide- with the duration of
the motion of the- ste el or iron moved or
vibnit.xl in the proximity "i the magne-t.
When tho human voice cause s tin- dia
phragm to vibrn'e. electrical undula
tions are unlnced in tho cnila around the
magnets precise Iy similar to tin- undula
tions of the air produced bv the voice*.
Hie ciils are connecteel with the line
wire, and the iinelulations induced in them
travel through the wire, and jmosi'ig
through the coils of another instrument
of similar coiiFtrnction at the other e-ud
of the line are aguin resolved into air iti
dulations bv the diapiiragin of this nn
atrnment. The voltaic battery is entirely
disjiensed with. The line w ire may be
of any given length, provided the insu
lation is gooil. Prof. Bell further saw
that soft tones can he heard across til -
wires even more distinctly than loud
utterances, even a whisper ls-ing audible.
Huh to Succeed.
If your seat is liard to sit upon, stand
up. If a rock rises up he-fore you, roll
it away or climb over it. If yon want
money, earn it. It takes longer to skin
an elephant than a mouse, lmt the skin
is worth something. If you want confi
dence, prove yourself worthy of if. Do
not be content with doing what another
has done—surpass it. Deserve success,
and it will come. The boy was not born
a man. The sun does not rise like a
rocket, or go down like a bullet fired
from a gun; slowly and surely it makes
its round, and never tires. It is as easy
to be a leader as a wheel horse. If the
job be long, the pay will be greater; if
the task be hard, the more competent
you must be to do it.

Keep busy. The man who hns noth
ing to do is the most miserable of beinga.
If you have no regular work, do chorea,
as farmers do when it rains too hard to
work in the field. In occupation we for
get our troubles, and get respite from
sorrow. The man whose mind and hands
are busy finds no time to weep and wail.
If work is slack, spend the time in rend
ing. No man ever knew too much. The
hardest students in the world are the old
men who know the most. If you luck
books, then i„-e free and very cheap li
braries, at least in cities, at your com
mand. The man who does not acquire
some item of useful information between
daybreak and bedtime must mourftilly
say, witli the Roman emperor: "I have ;
lost a day."

company planned ami carried to complete

employees, with invited guests, menilirr* of

idea of its extent may lie gained when it is
known that forty-five railroad coaches were
employed for their accommodation, and
the cost for trans|N>rtation, admission, en

dollars. But thi- large sum is small com
pared with the unalloyed pleasure which
was afforded the grand army of industrious
people who find employment at the Clark

Not long after the stealing of Charley
Roe*, a little aon of Henry Doelunueler,
of St. Louia, waa stolen. The father
had bat little property, and waa unable
to par the expense* of an extenatTC
search; but he shrewdly hit tipon a plan
for aroompltabiug the object effectually.
He read the newspaper* carefully, and
whenever he a an account of the find
ing of a supposed Charley Ikes he aerit
to learn if the boy was not hi* lost or.e.
At length, two year* after the kidnap
ping, he aaw an account of a stray boy
in Illinois, ami, on going there, he found
what he had been so long in w-areh of.
.The child's hair had I tee a dyed, and he
luul rhauged much through sickness ami
deprivation, but there was no doubt n
to the ideutity. He liad ben st4*n by
wauderiug Iteggars, who had made hia
pretty face profitable in exciting sym
pathy. The father is now jiroaccutmg
the supposed kidnappers.
She Didn't Understand.
Two young Indies called at a dry gi is
store on W< yd ward avenue, aaja the Pe
troit Fret /Vfi, to look at one of tb<'
late styles of circulars. The ow who
wanted to parch—f was amazed and dis
appointed to find the circulars made
without sleeves or armhokts.
•• Well, that's the style," said the sales
man, " and they are very popular. They
are meant to cover both ahouldet* aud
artua."
" I guess I won't buy one," whispered
Ibe girl t< her frieud. "If I Had a beau
how could I Uke hold of his arm with
that circular on V
" Why, yon goose !" replied the other,
" you let liim put hui arm right around
Too, of course ! That's what it made
that WHY for f"
" Mister, I'll take that circular!"
promptly observed the anxious party,
and sue bad it sent home.
Riding Hab'tx.
The fashion critic of the London (hurt
Journal says : A few years ago riding
habits were so long that accident* were
of frerpieut occurrenee ; they are n- >w no
short that thev not habits. I wns
staudiug the other at the railings in the

j masts I n-.e. I presume she wore a " rid

aih.lavit that she was not attired in
trousers uiy etnet love of veracity would
prevent me f rom doing so."
