ESCAPED FROM JUSTICE
It was a bitter night in January—a
tight when homeless \fan dere rs on the
noors might have sunk down and frozen
to death, and the very marrow• seemed to
congeal in one's bones.
"There's one advantage in steam,"
growled a fat old gentleman in the cor-
ner seat:" wind and weather don't effect
it. No flesh and blood in horse could
stand a night like this, but the iron horse
keeps straight ahead, whether the ther
mometer is at zero, or at boiling water
heat."
Just then the conductor entered.
"Tickets, gentlemen. if you please."
"It's a dreadful night. conductor," I
said feeling with stiffened fingers for my
ticket, in the breast pocket of my coat.
"Dreadful. sir," feelingly responded
the conductor, "Why, the brakeman can't
live outside, and so I look the other way
when they creep in, poor fellows to get a
Teat!' of warm air at the stove. We
ave not had such a night since a year
ago the second of February, when Tom
Blakeslee, the baggAg - e master, froze Luth
his feet, and a wonn.n who was coining
on from Chicago, got off at Bina i's Four
Corners with her baby in her arms a
corpse!"
"Frozen to death!"
"Aye, frozen to death and she never
thought, poor thing. but it was asleep.
`My baby's cold,' says she, 'but we'll soon
warm it when we get home.' It was just
such a night as this."
And the onductor opened thesloor_;thcl

It was quite a considerable city, with

with hands in its pockets and its cigar
ends flaming through the night.
Our car was nearly the lit of the long
train, and but one passenger entered it—
a slender young girl. wrapped in 'a gray
blanket shawl, trimmed with stone color
ed velvet flowers. She seemed to hesitate
like one unused to traveling, and filially
sat down near the door.
"Pardon me, young lady," paid I, — but
ou bad better come nearer the stove."
She started, hesitated an instant, and
en of
— Does this train go to Bayswater*: — she
asked in a voice so deliciously sort and
sweet that it seemed to thrill through
me.
"Yes: can Ibe of any service to on?"
"Olt no—at least not until we reach
Bayswater. I would like a carriage then."
"We shall not be these yet these three
'ours."
"Do we stop again?"
"Only at Exmouth.•"
She drew a deep Sigh. seemingly of re
lief, and settled hack in a corner. By the
light of the lainp that hung in its bras
fixture opposite, I could see her face. that
of a lovely child. Apparently she was uo
more than sixteen, with large blue eyem,
golden hair, brushed smoothly back ft om
her face, and a little rosy mouth like that
of a baby.

So the express thundered on. l‘ith

We had stopped at a lonely little way
station in the midst at a durnie pine woods.
"Is this Exmouth?"
It was the soft voice of the prat trav

"..No—l don't know what place it is:

"Does this train stop at way stations?"
"Not generally; they must have been

"A murder—a man and his 11ifc and

We had continued the conversation
throughout in a whisper, scarcely above

and left me to study the faces of my fel

horror.
Somehow. often as I revolved the mat

CAM . . ByNo.]
As I was ushered into the reception
room at Wilhelmshohe the Emperor arose
;from a - luxurious fauteuil," of course,)
and advanced to welcome me, with ex
tended hand and air of extreme Brat flea
lion that put me perfectly at case.
"Bang %Imo, sir" said I, giving his
hand a cordial shake. With the exquis
ite tact of practical courtier, his Majesty
siezal the occasion to pay me (and my
countrymen) one of the neatest compli
ments. lie said : "Perhaps we had bet
ter conduct our conversation in English.
The fact is, you speak French with
accent that really shames us Parisians.—
I've often remarked this trait in accom
'dished Americans, and Avondered at it.''
The Emperor's remark was so unexpect
edly flattering that it took my breath
away for a moment ; but under cover of a
profound how, I recovered my fluency and
, served: " Such a compliment from your
Z.fajesty ill happier days, would have
brought the entire American nobility to
your feet." My indirect allusions to his
misfortunes affected his Majesty profound-
ly. The tears that chased each other
down his majestic and imperial purple
nose and in imperial sorrow from the
w.txed ends of his moustache might have
moved a heart, of stone, with a little as-
sistetnce
Surely thought T, the Emperor who can
thus weep at his own calamities (mount
Lc utterly heartless.
When the Emperor had recovered his
composure, and had his nose blowed by
the proper officer, I opened the conversa
in a way that I thought least likely to of
fend his delicacy. I told him it was cur
rently reported that lie had feathered his
nest pretty well while Emperor; and I
should take it as a special favor if lie
would tell me how much he had really
stolen. In America, I told him. public
men were expected to lay by something
for a rainy day, and it would rather em
it:lnce our respect for him to be assured
that he had exercised a like justifiable
prudence. He replied, "My friend. I res

and my chamberlain shall provide you
with an inventory of all that I have gob
hied." I asked him if he owned any pro

"I thought I owned the New York World
a few months ago; but since the Sedan
affair it has gone back on me."
— Your Majesty WAS accused of treach

I might have died at the head of the army
instead of surrendering. If this be trea

least bit squeamish about it; but I should
like to know, I really would be pleased to
know - . Nvliether your father n•as I3onaparte
or a dutch Admiral, as some have intima
ted?" His Majesty with great cheerful
ness replied, — So would I!"
The engaging freedom with which his
Majesty unhosomed himself emboldened
me to pursue my inquiries, and our vim
versation became almost confidential. I
asked Lim if Eugenie was everjealous. Ile
replied: "Not as Empress: but as Mrs.
Napoleon I have sometimes thought she
was inclined too be a little too strict with
:lie." I said: "Can you lay your hand on
your heart. sire, and solemnly assure the
Herald that you never gave her cause for
jealousy?" The Emperor ( mnsingly)—
"You may be right.'' At this point, the
Emperor seemed :t good deal cut up. and
sighed profoundly. Instead of answering
my question explicitly, I 'vas sorry to see
him put both hands in his pockets instead
of on his heart.

A PASSAGE TEE LIFE OF A NAVY Or
F/CEE..
An 0:ago Laav'E Love To'ker.
An officer in the United States Navy, a
Commodore, recently deceased, 'some
years ago became acquainted with a beau
tiful young Indian girl, of the Osage
tribe. She interested him by reason of
her youth, wild dark beauty, and musical
accents, and while sojourning in the
neighborhood of this forest flower, lie saw
her often in her father's tent.
The daughter of a chief, her dress dis-
played. all the ornamention entiticd by her
rank, and her picturesque costume claim
ed the admiration of the " white face."
A few words of her language on his part.
and an equal amount of English on her's,
enabled them, with the aid of signs, to
carry on a conversation over the bead em
broidery with which her slender fingers
were usually engaged.
One article of the Indian belle's toilet
was a little apron of silk, ornamented
with a curiously-wrought vine, the leaves
of which were representedglittering with
dew—produced by cunningly interwoven
crystal beads. This became the favorite
subject of chit-chat, and when the dark
beauty found that the bit of an apron pos
sessed some merit:in the eyes of the hand
some officer it was always worn.
Months passed, and their intimacy con
tinued, the officer teaching the maiden the
English language. Orders at length came,
and the officer made the Indian under
stand that his vessel must soon anchor in
another port. Then came the knowledge,
unsuspected by hint before, that the child
of that dusky race loved him.
Of a different race, and so much her
senior, he had never dreamed such a thing
could come to pass, and it was with a
heavy heart that he bade her good-bye.
In leaving she presented him an embroid
ered apron, similar to the one he so much
admired, and pointing to a favorite tree,
under which they had often sat together,
she told him that she had embroidered it
for Lim while sitting up in the branches,
watching for his coming.
The apron he kept as a sacred relic of
this romance, which could never die out
of his memory. Some years after the
Commodore revisited the port, and learn
ed that the maiden had been wedded a few
months after his departure to a young
warrior. surviving her nuptials but a
short time.
It is but a few months since he himself
was laid to rest, and these two, separated
on earth by the barriers of race and color
which divide the human family, may in
the •• spirit land" have become united.
Passing through different hands the
gift of the Indian girl has come to the city
of Phila. on an errand of merry. to swell
the funds in aid of the sufferers on a dis
tant shore, and the embroidered apron
will be disposed of at the post office of the
French Bazaar. If it bring but sufficient
to purchase a cup of cold water'' for a
few famishing souls it will have perform
ed a holy mission.

_V writer in the Chicago Tribunr tells ,
some plain truth in the snlijoined ex
tracts:
I think the reason young men do not
marry is because girls have ceased to be
domestic, and spend a great deal of money
upon dress. They are not content to live
in a quiet way and dress moderately; they
must go out, dress and ride, and frequent
places of amusement, have suppers and
boquets, and receive adulation. It costs
a great deal of money, which the young
loan furnishes, and he never gets ahead
enough to marry, so they repent. and try
their luck over again. it is the easiest
thing in the world to do with less luxury ;
but it involves a little self-sacrifice and
economy, and these 'virtues are fast be
coming exotics. Fully one-half the girls
who are now filling situations in stores,
offices, etc.. go there in the first place in
order to be able to dress better. They
live in plain but comfortable homes. and
must help with the housework of the child
ren of their own kin; but they hear glo‘‘
lug accounts of the city; they want the
liner:: that is denied them, and they want
to go from those peaceful horne-lives.flom
the kind guardianship of parents, to the
toil and temptations of the ten-hour sys
tem.
They go plain country girls.with modest.
blushing cheeks and smooth, shining hair.
They stay theie a year or two, aml their
cheeks are pale and their hair is frizzed.
They have lost the g-ouchei ie if blushing.
and are hold at repartee. They dress
somehow and live somehow. lint they
hav e hours of despondency that make
them old. It is one long struggle with
labor and temptation. and how they pie
serve their integrity God only knows
Now, would not these girls be happier
as the wives of farmers or mechanics ?
Would not one word of genuine love out
weigh a ton of admiration ? Would not
the smile of a child be a thousand 'times
better than the gaze of libertine ? Is it
not easier to work for one's own than for
strangers t to feel that you are king in
your own castle, if it is only a one-story
cottage? Woman's independence will
work her a deadlier wrong than any bond
she has ever worn. When she steps be
yond the fair threshold of womanly pow
er—the archetypal home, where God has
made her supreme—to fight the demons
of political or commercial life•, she lays
down a sceptre to take up a chain. who.e
iron canker will cat into her soul.

' TEE BLISPEEMOUS CROW.
At a ePrta in cross-roads in the state of
Alabama, stood a small grocery or whisky
shop, where " Mist-head"_ and " chain
lightning" were dealt out to the thirsty
unwashed at five cents a drink, or, twenty
five cents a quart. The presiding genius
of this delectable institution was one Bill.
Sikes, who, among various pets, had a do
mesticated crow, black as the ace of
spades. This crow had learned among
other things to repeat quite plainly the
words. "damn you: - which he, of course,
heard frequently used in the grocery.
During the prevalence of a knock-down
and drag out light one day. however,
the crow was frightened from home, and
dew off to the woods never to return.
About three miles from the grocery v,•as
a settlement meeting house—an old tutu
ble down affair, only used on certain oc
casions. when a eireuit rider came that
way. Into this building went the crow,
taking peaceable possession; and two days
thereafter the church was thrown open to
preaching, and a large crowd assembled,
among whom was a very old lady, who
was compelled to use her crutches in
walking, who took her seat in the front
pew, and was soon absorbed in the elo
quence of the preacher. The reverend
gentleman had scarcely got, under full
headway, and commenced thundering his
anathemas at all grades of sinners, when
a hoarse, croaking voice from above ut
tered the ominous words:
" Damn von!"
The preacher and congregation looked.
aghast at such profanity, and eachpeered
into his neighbor's face in vain to detect
some sign of guilt. Quiet was at length
restored, however, and the sermon pro
ceeded; hnt ere ten minutes elapsed, the
ominous "damn you!" again electrified
the audience, and just as the preacher
cast his eyes upward to search for the de
linquent, the crow flew down from his
perch, and lighting upon the Bible. calm
ly surveyed the terrified crowd. and gave
another doleful croak.
Damn you!"
The effect was electrical. Giving one
startled and terrified glance at the intrud
er, the preacher sprang from the window,
carrying sash, glass, and all with him, and
set off at a break neck pace through the
vo ods, closely followed by his horror
stricken congregation, who had piled out
of the building pell-mell after him. In
the general scramble the old lady with the
crutches had been knocked down in the
church. where she lay, unable to rise: and
on observing her, the crow who was after
something to cat, flew clown beside her,
and looking up at her very knowingly,
croaked out:
"Damn you:—
The old lady eyed him savagely for a
few moments, and then l,urst forth in a
tone of reckless defiance:
Yes. and damn you too! I had not!:
ing to ilo with getting up this
,pld meet
ing—and you know it!"
The poor old WOlllall had mistaken the
crow for the devil, and concluded, if pos
sible, to propitiate his satanic majesty by
denying all complicity in that affair.

SAVED BY A HousE.—Let any man
who has ever struck a faithful horse in
anger read this true story and he :e4hain
ed of himself:
Some years since. a party of surveyors
had just finished their day's work in the
north-western part of Illinois. when a \ i
oient snow storm came oil. They started
for their camp. which was in a grove of
about eighty acres in a large prairie.near
ly twenty miles from any other timber.
The wind was blowing very hard. and
the SRO\V drifting so as to nearly blind
them. When they thought they had
nearly reached the camp, they all at once
came upon tracks in the snow. These
they looked at witn care, and found,
their dkmay. that they were their own
tracks.
It was now plain that they were lost on
the great prairie, and that if they had to
pass the night there, in the cold and snow
the chance was that not one of them
would be alive in the morning.
While they were all shivering with fear
and the cold, the chief nvin of the party
caught sight of one of their horses—a
gray pony known as —old Jack."
Then the chief said, if any one can
show us our way to camp. out of this
blinding snow. Old Jack can do it. I
will take otT his bridle and let him loose.
and we can follow him. I think he will
show us the way to our camp...
The horse as soon as ho found himself
free. threw his head and tail into the air
as if proud of the trust that had been put
in him. Tiien he snuffed the breeze, and
gave a loud snort, which seemed to say
-Came on boys! Follow me, I'll lead you
out of this serape.'' lle then turned in a
new direction and trotted along. but not
so fast that the men could not follow him.
They had not gone snore than a mile.
when they saw the cheerful blaze of their
camp tires. and gave a loud burrs ;.t the
sight.

may shortly expect cold weather. and in
view of that fact, would direct attention
of horse owners and horse drivers to the
avoidance of the barbarous practice of
putting hard frozen bits into the months
of the patient animals. Almost every
one has tried or seen tried the experiment
of applying the human tongue to a pump
handle on a very cold morning. The re
sult in such cases are. that a portion of
the skin of the tongue remains attached
to the frozen iron. Will the same result
follow the introduction of :t heavy iron
