A llriormtnrd Urrnid Darke**.
The German wife of the Grand Dnke
Vladimir ban a will of ner own, and is
not disponed to snbmit to the peouliar
regulations of the Russian government.
Sho discovered not long ago that a let
ter which sho had written to her family,
and in which it is said that she com
plained of the dullness and insecurity
of lifo at tho Russian court, had been
opened by her own personal aid-de-camp
before delivery to the post. Tho angry
grand dncbens complained to tho em
peror, but to her astonishment met with
no sympathy from him. Still more en
raged blio delivered her emphatic de
cision that if the offender was not im
mediately dismissed sho would make a
ptiblio scandal and quit the country.
The aid-de camp was dismissed, but
only to receive a much moro lucrative
appointment.

The London World says " that specu
lation of the riskiest character is stead
ily on the increase. It is a habit which,
once formed, is as difficult to eradicato
as the drinking of odd glasses of
sherry. Latterly it has spread with im
mense rapidity among women. Tho
'feminine liuanco' which Sidonia dis
liked io one of the features "of tho
epoch. Tho ladies' clnbs at the West
End of London, which are the growth
of tho last few years, havo given an ap
preciable effort to feminine specula
tion. It would bo a mistake to suppose
that lady financiers am exclusively a
London growth. They abound in tho
most tranquil districts. It is
a natural instinct to wish to con
vert sixpence into a shilling, and
the possessors of fixed incomes—retired
civil servants, < fiicers, widows with
dowers, unmarried ladies whose life
is dull and whoso timo hangs heavily
on their hands—swallow with avidity
the offered bait. Speculation of this
kind, whether it fills the purso or
empties it, is certain to yield socio ex
citement; and that is not tho least of
its attractions. But in tho long run it
means ruin and misery."

Hurled Alive.
The Rov. Dr. Field ears in a letter
from Rome, Italy: In an old part of
Rome, not far from the Coliseum, one
who knows tbo way tnrna aside from
tho street into a narrow alley which
seems to come snddenly to An end in a
t lank wall, on which there is a paintiug
of the ornciOxion, bnt follow it to the
end and there steps lead tip to the pic
tare, and a side stain aso to a second
story, where tho visitor can proceed no
farther. Here, behind barred doors
and gratings like a prison, is a convent
of nans who are fitly called the Sepolte
Vive, the Buried Alive, bocatise those
who enter there never come forth
again till they are borne to the grave.
Communication with the interior is
by an opening, in which there is a
ronnd be-, like a barrel, though
it was covered with sheet iron.
While I stood before it a man
came np tho steps, who seemed to be a
servant, and rapped on it, to which a
mntiled voice answered from within.
His voice being recognized, the barrel
turned slowly aroand till it disclosed
a shelf on which he deposited a paper,
when it was tamed again, the paper
disappeared the voice from within
ceased and the sheeted iron presented
the samo blank surface as before.
Should a priest knock, or any one who
had a right to lie admitted into the
convent, the barrel tnruing ronnd would
present a key by which he conld open
a door and let himself into a small room
in the interior. Rat even then he
would not see the inmates, who are
closely veiled even when they oonveme.
II ire, in his "Walks in Rome," says:
"In one of the walls is an opening
with a doable grille, beyond which is a
metal plate, piercod with holes like the
roee of a watering pot. It ie beyond
the grille and behind this plate that tho
abbess of the Sepolte Vive receives her
visitors, hat she ie even then veiled
from head to foot in heavy folds of thick
bnre. Gregory XVI., who of ooorse
could penetrate within the convent, and
who wished to try her, nald: • My sister,
raise yoar veil.' 'No, my father,'she
replied, ' it is forbidden by our ord> r.'
"The nnne of the Sepolte Vive are
never seen again after they a*snme the
black veil. They never hear anything
of the outer world, oven of the deaths
of their neareet relations. Daily they
are said to dig their own graves and lie
down in them, and their remaining hours
are ooenpied in perpetual adoration of
the blessed sa.-rsment."

From the Turkish province of Kpirtis
the Christian (though not Greek) in
habitants have of late been emigrating
in largo numbers. Unable to endnre,
on the ono hand, tho depredations of
the robber bands still infesting the
country, and, on the other hand, the
hardly lest cruel treatment of their
Mohammedan fellow subject*, the na
tivoa in question have for some time
past been unobtrusively, and generally
at night, abandoning their farms and
villages, and crowing the frontier into
the new Greek province of Tbesaalj for
the purpose of taking up there their
permanent residence.
Tho Chinese automaton "Kn? Foo,"
after bewildering Berlin with its mys
terious power*, was in the midst of a
successful season in Vienna, when a too
inquisitive spectator having given em
phatic expression to hi* conviction that
the automaton had " human htaina in
aide of him somewhere," found mean*
to aaanro himself that he was right. An
exceedingly email boy, seventeen year*
old, was fonnd concealed within the
body of " King Foo," and the owner
wm provocated as a cheat. With un
blushing effrontery the man who had
mado it the chief bnsino** of hi* life to
convince the pnblio that hia curiosity
was pnrely mechanical turned about
and a*ked the following question* in hi*
own defense : "Whom have I cheated ?
Can the people of Vienna be snch fool*
a* to believe that a piece of clockwork
c*n talk Chinese, Persian, German,
French and Koglish ? That it can tell
whether Hnez canal shares will rise or
fall ? That it can predict the exact day
on which arichnnole will die!" 'lhis
defense was apparently regarded as a
good one, for the showman was ac
quitted.
Tho discussion of electric light dan
gers springs np or breaks ont often snd
in nnmerons places. A Providence
scientist and expert wan asked if a
man's life was in danger whon hia body
waa exposed to the current of electric
ity necessary to feed the electric light.
His reply was that no man know the ex
tent of the danger, or rather the extent
of the injury that might be incurrod.
If a man should place his hands npon
the wire before the generstor started
sod keep them there nnttl the machine
•topped, as he might be obliged to
whether he wanted to or not, sines
the mnaclos wonld contract very
strongly—if he did this, it is be
lieved he wonld bs comparatively
safe; bnt if his hands were
removed, if thov conld be, or if thewir
should break w)iUe the generator waa
in operation, he would receive an indnc
tion spark that might kill him and
might not. That wonld depend upon
what part waa affected and npon the
man's physical condition. It might
paralyze the heart, it might cause
strangulation, and in any case wonld be
likely to oanae more or leea derange
ment of the nervons system. But the
positive or definite result will not be
known, cannot be known, except by
•ctael experience. Some light may be
thrown npon it by expert msnte on lower
animal. Even then man may not be
satisfied and proceed to test and per
haps kill himself. Then shall we know
and possibly not till thon.
An Egyptaln Village.
An American, traveling in Ilgypt,
writes: A village consists of a number
of cubes, parallelepipeds and other rec
tangular shapes that answer for habi
tations.' This geometrical architecture
is followed, I suppose, in memory of
Euclid, who was a native of Egypt.
These rectilineul houses are built
mostly of mud or mud bricks, and have
a doorway and several other small
openings in the side walls. I observed
somo of thom were constructed of palm
branches interwoven and plastered also
with mnd. At any rate one of these
villages looks moro like a geological
formation than a human one. Ono of
them in particular tbut I passed, somo
fifty miles from Alexandria, looks like
a landscape from the terrace epoch.
Most of those communities are situa
ted beside a pool of stagnant water.
This site, I suppose, is especially
chosen as it affords easy means of
getting water for culinary purposes.
As the rate of speed on tho Alexandria
and Cairo railway is rather slow, I
many times caught a glimpso of a
maiden standing on the l nnks of one of
these miasmatic pools doing a little
washing. They used for tho purpose
large shallow stone !owl*. In some
instances the water is led abont tho
place in a ditch ; in others I saw girls
carrying water to tho village in large
stoneware vessels, generally upon their
heads. The snnny part of tho town is
patronized at this season of the year
(January) by the male portion of the
inhabitants, who do a tall amount of
sleeping.
Life is however better displayed
upon tho roof. This is the general
camping-ground for both animate and
inanimate objects. There are innum
erable siestas, commencing at snnrise
and prolonged till snnsot. The matron
hangs her clothes here, attaching one
end of the line to tho chimney and the
other end to one of tho male sleepers.
The dogs retire hero after eating till
they are stupid from a carcass that lies
near the house. Tho cat and dog are
here on good terms, which was prob
ably not the case an honr before in the
■pace abont the carcass. The chickens
and goats occupy that part of the roof
not occupied by the slee|>ers.
Ono thing I never remember to hare
seen on the roof, and that is the Arab's
patient little donkey.
Tho canine pcrtions of these com
munities may be divided into those
that are white and those that are black.
If the white dogs are in the minority at
any particular time, they aro very pro
miscuously chewed by the blacks and
vice versa. A canine color fend !
Sad Incident of the Mood.
Alexander Jasper, an old man from
Crittenden county, Ark., arrived in
Little llock, bringing with him his wife
and two children. He seemed to be in
groat distress, and when questioned
by a (Jfwitt man he told the following
s#d atory: " Yon know," ho aaid, "that
tho whole country was tinder water.
I am one of the sufferers of the flood.
I lived in the Mississippi !>ottom,
not far from] Madison. I set
tlod there several years ago and
opened a small farm. I had heard of
high water, bnt the placo where I
settled seemed to be high, and I did
not feel any fear. Well, high water
came repeatedly, bnt it never reached
roe. One night, while myaelf and fam
ily were at sapper, wo wore startled by
a terrible roar. I went to the door and
looked ont, bnt could see nothing. My
wife suggested that ho noise might be
caused by water, but I did not pay mneb
attention to the remark, for I did not
see bow water conld break throngh
with snch force. While I stood lis
tening there came a mighty rush,
and before I knew it tho whole country
was flooded with water. I called to my
wife to help me secure the children.
The houae was foil of water. I seised
one little girl and my wife aeiaed the
other. The house moved. The lamp
fell and was extinguished. I called to
my little boy and received a strangled
reply. I rushed throngh tho flood
toward the place from which I thought
the aonnd came, and called again, but
no reply. The honae went to pieces. 1
seized my wife and struggled with her
to a alight elevation. Tho roar waa
deafening. We remaiood there until
morning. When light came a rushing
torrent swept over the site of onr home.

Jesko Jtmr* Mot Iba<l.
A groat sensation has been created
among tho police and county officials in
the vicinity of Kansas City, Mo., by the
fart that George Hhephord, ex-guerilla
and bank robber, who claimed to have
abot Josae Jamea, the notoriona ontlaw,
at Joplin, Mo., jaat after the Glendale
train robbery of IS?!', had proved
traitor throagh all that tronble. Shep
herd knew the Jamea brothers well, and
offered to go among th-ra and lead them
into an ambush where they were to be
killed or raptnred. His offer was ac
cepted, and for several weeks he wrote
letters to the detective* ar.d at last a
special train over the Fort Scott rail
road carried a large posse of men to
Galena, Mo., where a bank was to be
rehired.
The day previous to tho talked-ot
rob!>ery Shepherd cam<- tearing into
Galena on horseback, claiming to have
killed Jesse James, saying tho gang
became suspicious of him. He was
himself shot clean through the left leg
below the knee, and said two memlrera
of (be band followed him a mile and
Camming* hit him. Tho report was
believed, and every paper in the country
sounded Shepherd's praise; but it haa
become public that all the time
Shepherd was standing in with
the robbers and that a scheme
was entered into whereby the offi
cers were to be made to think that
Jesse was killed, and then the
lkrge reward for his body, dead or
alive, oould be obtained by Shepherd
and divided with Jesse. In order to
square himself with the ofTuers Shep
herd had to be slightly wounded, and
he deliberately held out his leg and
allowed Jesse James to shoot a ball
through it. The plan to get the re
ward failed, and Shepherd, who haa
been hanging about Kanaas City ever
since the reported shooting, has ad
mitted the whole thing was a put up
job, and saya he wonld no more shoot
Juese Jamea than he would hi* brother.
