Failing to secure the General himself, his wife was taken instead and thrown into prison, Corpus Christi Day was the national holi- day, and it was reported that on that date | Hippolyte, in order to effectually terrify the populace, had ordered a Gattling gun to be taken down to the prison and the eighty srisoners to be summarily executed. The riends of the prisoners, among whom was General Sully, met in council, and while the President was in the Cathedral they forced open the prison doors and freed all the prisoners—about two hundred and fifty inall, Then, by order of the President, began a series of assassina- tions, Tte first victin. was Mr, Ernest Rigaud a respected merchant, He was sitting cu the balcony with his wife, when the President vessed, ordered himout, and sent him to the cemetery to be | shot. He asked to be allowed to take his hat (he was uncovered) and the President's own words were: “You won't require a hat long.” His nephew, a boy of about sixteen, followed him to the place of execution, and returned with the news to the wife, who was still hoping to bring influence to bear to save her husband, He told her: “It is my poor uncle has Imen dered.” These words were re. ported to the Presicent, and twenty minutes later the boy was brought before him. Being asked if he had made the above statement, he did not deny it, but said: “President, | bave never conspired against you by word or deed.” The boy was shot at once, | About the same time Alexis Rossignol, an inoffensive and highly esteemed man, was executed in the streets; another man was put up against the Cathedral wall and shot, seventeen were executed in a batch; and even at this date an occasional volley tells that another poor wretch has been sent to huis doom There 1s no fighting in the streets to ex- euse this massacre. Every execution is car- ried out in the most cold-blooded way, the executioners being soldiers of the most de- graded type. It is estimated that from May 28 to May 51, at least fifty persons have beens st to deato, and the figures are placed as igh as 200, No ous can say how long this state of alfairs will last, or what the result will be.

Early in the sixteenth century the citizens of Wurtemberg pro. tested that the expenditures of their so- vercign for musicians were ruining the land. In 1516 Duke Ulrich gave lords the assurance that their complaints had been heeded, and that in the future he would cut down as low as possible his budget for singers and trumpeters, His successor, Duke Christoph, however, was guilty of the wild extravaganoe of engaging several new singers at salaries of from $15 tn $25 each for the season Generally in those old times the salaries of singers wore in figured which seem ridiculously swall. The Italian Pergamin received at the end of the sixteenth cen- tury from Landgrave Moritz, in Cassell, sbout $150 annually and his board and lodgings. His salary was, however, equal to that of a high Minister of State, Under Duke Eberhard Ludwig (1677- 1783), three singers in Stutgart were paid by the court. Magdalena Sybilla Beck got $450 annually, and was re garded as unreasonably high-priced, In Dresden, under Johann George IIL, who died in 1691, the most famous stresses in central Europe, Marguerite Salicola and Rosana Santinelli, bad an aus! salaries of 81100 each. Charles VIL, in Vienna, earlygn the cighteenth cen- tury, paid each of several soloists £2400 § year, he more the Italian opera, with its virtuosos, spread to the Northern courts and thence to the Northern audiences the larger became the rewards of the great artists. England is supposed to have been responsible for the enormous and sudden increase of salaries which grad. ually raised prices on the Continent, as America is supposed to have caused the corresponding phenomenon in the oper- atic world of to-day. Cuzzeni, in 1725, refused the offer of $45,000 for a Con tinental tour from an Italian impressario because she could do better in England She died in the most abject misery after having squandered a dozen ot more fortunes.

The great Hobeozollern, an gered by this foreign competition, r fused to grant her a leave of absence, so she simply broke ber contract and hur- ried off to London, where for many years she got ten times the income which the German stage could give her. After Catalani had sung twice before Napoleon I, she was rewarded with $1000 cash, a life pension of $2400 annually. and two benefits which brought her $10,000 more. Nevertheless, she was not satisfied. After hearing her in St. Cloud, the Emperor went to her dressing room and inquired “Where do you go from here, madam" “To London, sire.” “Remain in Paris and I will give you $20,000 and two months’ leave of ab sence annually.

By means of this wonderful sys- tem of transmitting sounds the most com- plicated messages can be conveyed to villages in the most distant parts, practising this unique system of sound language a peculiarly shaped drum is used, By dividing the surface of the dram-head into uneven portions, the in. strument, upon being struck, may be made to yield two distinct notes. By these and shortening or lengthening the intervals between each note a code is established with a regular sequence of taps, strokes and intervals capable of ex- pressing every syllable in their primitive language. All of the natives understand this code, and so elaborate is it that a chief can by its means summon % his presence any villager whom he desires to see, intimating to the latter at the same time the purpose for which his presence is required.

THE ‘‘HOUBEKEEFER'S FRIEND,” The **Housekeeper's Friend" is a new device for the prevention of the myste- rious evaporation of the contents of cer tain bottles which form an integral phrt of most domestic establishments. The solution of this hitherto apparently hope- less problem is embodied in the use of a bottie-locking apparatus of much sim. plicity. A circular band of metal closes | on a hinge around the neck of the bottle, its ends, which project at right angies, being provided with holes. Over these a padlock hasp is placed, and when the padlock is locked the cork defies any al- temps of extraction short of picking the lock, or breaking ofl the neck of the bottle. It has been remarked that a padlock keeps out only ‘‘honest thives,” but it is precisely that class who abstract glasses of wine or spirits or spoonfuls of ten, and these can now be made secure. It has been suggested that this lock will be specially serviceable to travelers, In cases, too, where dangerous medicines are being used such s method of distia- guishing them and possibly preventing their being administered Indiscreetly would seem a wise preaaution.—New York Commercial Advertiser. LACE CURTAINS—HOW TO LAUKDRY. Many housekeepers who cen but ill afford the expense send their lace cur. tains to the laundry to be done up for the summer, {rom the mistaken idea that they cannot be properly lsundried at howe; yet if they would take the trouble o oversee the work, they would be sur- prised to find bow satisfactorily and easily it may be done in their own kitch- ens by an ordinary servant, As soon as the curtains sre taken down they should be well shaken, to free them from dust, an? put in tepid water in which a little Pearline has been dissolved, and worked carefully with the hands through several waters, bul nevel soaked, through s mistaken idea that they will wash more easily. When per. fectly clean the curtains should be rinsed through blue water, and then lay them in starch water, or, better still, in a thin solution of gum-arabic, after which they should be squeezed and not wrung. The greater the speed in drying the work the more sastisiactory it will be, as lace shrinks more than any other goods. When ready to dry they should be fas tened in a pair of frames-—quilting- frames will answer—on which should be arranged small hooks to fasten the isoe with. The curtains should be stretched to their full length when put on the frames, which can be set on chairs to dry. If the frames are not convenient pin clean down over sheets carpets, ot on a clean carpet in a vacant room, and stretch and pin the curtains over, being careful to smooth out and pin the edges of the lace in proper shape. The cur tains should dry in a few hours, when they may be taken from the frames or sheets, gently shaken and hung up. They mill require no ironing, and look as dainty and fresh, from the expendi ture of a few hours’ time and a little care on the part of the housekeeper, as if dove sta profussional laund:y at a cost of several dollars, — Courier-Journal.
