V- h ye. 1(T before, "but they did not crumble. Tkey lit erally worshipped their schoolmistress, and -would no more have thought of disobeying her than of disputing the authority ot the Tillage constable. When the rector yisited the school every .Holiday morning he was delighted with tbe order tnat reigned there. He thought Miss Grayling a very exemplary and superior young woman. He lent her books. He gave her much advice as to her work, with -which he had not thought it worth while to trouble Mrs. Piggin; and his counsels were invariably received with a charming defer ence. It was the custom at Little Puddington or the curate to give the school children a lesson in Bible history on "Wednesday afternoons; and Mr. Cope looked lorward to his first lesson tfnder Miss Graylinc's aus pices with some inward trepidation. In spite of himself he telt a certain tremor as he addressed the sew teacher, and yet he found himself continually desiring to speak to her. By degrees, however, this wore off; and he came to look forward to Wednesday afternoons as pleasant interludes in his rather monotonous weeks. He, too, was solicitous for tbe new teacher's mental pabulum, and lent her books, beginning with popular history books, going on to Sunday afternoon tales, and finally reach ing the stage of undeniable yellow-backed novels. Miss Grayling smiled to her self as she placed Mr. Cope's "Orley Farm" in her desk beside Mr. Dowth waite's "Chronicles of the Schonberg-Cotta Family." Bnt everybody liked Miss Grayling. The children's mothers looked on her as a super ior being. Even cross old Miss Sowerbutts, at the Mount Farm, liked to have her go over on Thursday afternoon, when John was at market to drink a cup of tea with her, and enlighten her as to the real fash ions, as worn in London. The only person who did not join in the chorus of apprecia tion was Miss Jordan, the rector's sister-in-law. "Don't you think we were very fortunate In getting such a superior mistress in Mrs. Piggin's place?" said the rector to his sister-in-law, one Sunday after church. "I dare say," said Miss Jordan. "There is a marked improvement in the behavior of the children, both at church and in school" contiued the rector, in rather a magisterial way, as if to resent tbe impeach ment of an und'ue partiality for Miss Gray ling, which was risible in Miss Jordan's face. "The boys don't make half so uuch noise in going out of enured before the sermon as they used to do," continued the parson. "I've no doubt the young woman is very well fitted for her place," said Miss Jordan. "Dear me!" said the rector to himself, "it's odd bow few women can forgive anoth er woman in a somewhat lower rank of lite, ler Having a pretty face and an attractive manner!" Whatever the reason it was plain that Miss Jordan was not captivated by the sew mistress. They avoided each other, as if by mutual consent. It happened that one afternoon, in early summer, Miss Grayling had gone up to tbe Mount Farm, by invitation, to drink tea with Miss Sowerbutts. It was a Thursday a day wLen the farmer always attended market La the neighboring town of Groby. "I must make haste and get home before dark," said Miss Grayling, as theday began to close; and she went up to put on ber bon net. The operation, however, took some little time, as it was diversified by an exhi bition of Miss Sowerbutt's mother's wed ding dress, and various other pieces of rai ment of a quite remote antiquity, in all of which Miss Grayling took keen interest. I declare it's getting dark." exclaimed . tbe schoolmistress at last, as she threw on her hat in a great hurry, and went down stairs with her hostess. Arrived n the garden, however, it was impossible to go without a morsel of Miss Sowerbutts's deli cious sweet-briar; the peas, too, were in a most interesting state ot development; and by the time they bad been duly admired, the farmer's burly form was seen slowly ad vancing between the hedge rows, oorne onwards by bis gig and his good mare, Jess. Certainly Miss Grayling looked a pretty figure as she stood at the porch of the farm house, shaking bands with its mistress. "Well, miss, and how are ye?" said Mr. Sowerbutts, with a very red face, as he leant out ot me gig to snace bands with his sister's visitor. "Very-well, thank you. ButI must say good evening. I really mnst get home be lore dart." "What's the need for that? Jess and I mun see thee home." 'Oh, no, no! I couldn't think of such a thing. You must be 'so tired, and the poor horse, too. Good-by." And Miss Grayling took a hasty farewell of her friend and ran down tbe roadway with the prettiest little steps in the world. Meanwhile Mr. Sowerbutts was slowly turning round the unwilling Jess. "But, John, the mare will be overdone. She can find her way home. Or I'll send Jacob with her," said Miss Sowerbutts, re gretting in her heart that she had ever in vited the schoolmistress to the farm. To this John made no reply; and having succeeded in turning tbe horse and gig, be speedily overtook Miss Grayling, who was walking on ahead in the most determined manner. "Wboal who-al" cried Mr. Sowerbutts to the mare. ".Now, miss, will'ee get in?" adu ne ueia dick ice apron as he spoke. "Beally I can't I can't take you back to Pnddington after yonr jonrnev:" and Miss Grayling stood hesitating. "Ho," she said more firmly, as Mr. Sowerbutts only satand looked at her without speaking; "there is really no necessity for it!" "If I ask ye to come I mean it," said the fanner, "an" I take it as a favor." "Oh, if you put it so politely, I shall be very happy," said Miss Gravling, as she held upher little gloved hand and was hoisted into the gig. it was, after all, only a mile and aialf to me village. For the first minute nothing was said. "You plays that there 'armonium'in church beautiful," said Mr. Sowerbutts, at length. Miss Grayling laughed and turned her smiling face upon her companion. ."Do yon think so? I'm not so sure of that myself," said she. "Beantilul!" responded Mr. Sowerbutts, with emphasis, "And settin' there, in the chancel, with the red window shining on yer 'eadl you look like a saint in clorr!" "Oh, Mr. Sowerbuttslyoureallyshonldn't be so very complimentary," said Miss Gray ling tranquilly. "And now, tell me how things went at market to-day." The conversation thus took a more prosaic turn; and Miss Graylingevincea the deepest interest in the price of hay and calves, and other agricultural topics, cntil they reached the cdttage in which she lived. CHAPTER III. The government inspection was always none of the events of the year at Little Pud- . dington. It generally took place in the end of August. The inspector was an elderly gentleman, whose proper name was Chris- - topher Wensby; but whose ordinary name among the teachers of his district was "Xne Walrut," from the fact that his bald fore- head, and white mustache pointing down wards in a straight line on each side of his mouth, gave him a decided resemblance to ,that creature. Eeport stated that Mr. Wensby and Miss Jordan had had tender, .or semi-tender passaees at some remote epoch. At any rate, they were very good .frieods; and Mr. Wensby always dined at the rectory once a year, wnen cis tons in me iiuje village 'Schoolroom were over. The day came; the inspection was dnly performed; and at the end of tbe day Mr. Wensby sat down at the rector's hospitable table. "And what do you think of our new mis tress?" asked the rector, as he began to carve the joint. -A very superior person very superior person indeed," returned the inspector. Miss Jordan's chin was lifted a little higher in the air as this answer was given; but tbe gesture went unnoticed. "Ah! Glad you think so. We consider her quite an acquisition," said Mr. Dowth waite. "Yet; there seemed an improvement in all directions," continued Mr. WenAy; out especially in the seedlework. under the former mistress the needlework was verv clumsy; now it is admirable." Miss Jordan smiled incredulously. "I assure you I have, received -very neat specimens of button-holing," said the in spector. "The department cannot fail to be pleased with them. I can show you them after dinner, if you like." "I should very much like to see them," said Miss Jordan dryly. After dinner, accordingly, the specimens were produced, and very neatly executed they were. "I don't believe our girls ever did that work," said Miss Jordan solemnly, as she bent over the button-holes. "But I saw themt" ejaculated Mr. Wensby. "Saw the stuff in their hands, I dare say," returned the" lady. "What do gentlemen know about, things of that sort?" "she added contemptuously. "I have always to report as tothequalitvof the needlework," said the inspector stilly, and with a slight blush. "But if you assure me, frora-your own knowledge of the cbil dren, that they could not have done this work themselves, it will be my duty to insti tute further inquiry." "I am certain of it," said Miss Jordan. That evening Mr. Wensby compared cotes witb his host; and the rector confessed that he was surprised secretly, he was atartled to find what a large number of "attend ances" had been made, even by the most irregular of the village children. "We have a board meeting to-morrow," said Mr. Dowthwaite. , "Then ask Miss Grayling to attend it," said Mr. Wensby, "and ask her whether the cbildren actually did the needlework themselves. If she says tbey did, I will fix a day I can come over in about three weeks to see them do some more specimens; and Miss Jordan can be present. If there is a marked discrepancy between the two sets of work why, ot course, I must report ac cordingly; and you can consider the matter till tbe next board meeting," All this made the rector feel very uncom fortable. But there was no help fpr it; and next day he sent a verbal message to the schoolmistress, requesting her to step over to tbe rectory, where the school board was then sitting. "Miss Grayling," said the rector, not without embarrassment, "I believe that ber Majesty's inspector will be able to re port very favorably of the condition of the school." Miss Grayling bowed politely. "There is one point, however, on which I shall like to ask you one or two questions. These pieces of sewing, now" and he pro duced them from a drawer as he spoke "seem to me very neat, very creditable; but are -you sure that the children whose names are attached to them did them them selves, unaided?" "Quite sure," said Miss Grayling tran quilly. . "And the attendances they seem much larger than they used to be. Are you sure you have kept the register accurately?" "Perfectly sure," said Miss Grayling, looking the clergyman lull in tbe face. One or two members of the board moved uneasily in their seats, and Mr. Sowerbutts seemed to be on the point of pro testing audibly against these aspersions on Miss Grayling's good faith. The rector felt very uncomfortable. "Very good. Miss Grayling," he said; "I am glad to hear you say so. And I think we needn't detain you any longer." The schoolmistress slowly rose, bowed in her dignified manner and withdrew. Before long it got abroad in Little Pud dington that Miss Grayling was in disgracp, or at least in a condition of suspended favor. Various reasons were given for this, tbe most popular theory being that tbe new mis"1 tress bad been caught stealing the school pence. The matter was discussed in the ale bouses, at the doors of the cottages, in the church yard after service. Through it all Miss Grayling went on ber way, serene as usual, preserving exactly the same manner to every one as if tbe voice ot scandal had never mentioned her name. A little before 6 o'clock one evening the Rev. Augustine Cope knocked at the door of the pretty cottage in which Miss Gray ling lived. For some months ever since he had first seen her, in fact the suscepti ble curate had been under the spell of the young lady's sweet brown eyes. He had struggled with himself long and manfully. He was not in a position to marry; and Miss Grayling was not a suitable match for him. lie knew all that very well. He did not like to think of what his aunts, Miss Cope and Miss Georgiana Cope, would say on being presented with a village school mistress for a niece. But then, he bad cot looked on the face of any other woman who could be called a lady save Miss Jordan's for nearly eight months. He was in love; be could not help it; and now this unpleas ant matter added at once to his love and to bis embarrassment. Even now he did not know his on mind. His ostensible object was to exchange one of the harmless novels, with which he now kept Miss Grayling well supplied, for another of the same type. "Miss Gravling." began the curate, as he seated himself in the little parlor, "this can not be true!" "What is cot true, Mr. Cope?" "These shameful accusations, these asper sions " "Of course not; and I did not think that you, Mr. Cope, would pay any attention to them," said the schoolmistress, with quiet dignity. "Oh, nol not for worlds!" exclaimed the curate; I believe in you as I would in a saint! Dear Miss Grayling Laura I may call you Laura? I find 'it difficult to say how I feel for you and how much I long to shield you from the calumnies and troubles of the world in the shelter of an honest man's love." As he spoke tbe curate took Miss Gray ling's white and well formed fingers between his own. "I offer you my heart and all I have," he continued, his eyes searching her down-cast face. "Alas, that is so little! I know well we cannot marry on my present stipend; but I have youth and strength on my side. Sooner or later I mnst get a living; and then and Oh, Laura! say that you love me!" "Mr. Cope, I feel honored and flattered more than I can say; and my heart tells. me it is not indiflerentto you; bnt She pansed, and the tones of the church clock striking fell on ber ear. "Mr. Cope!" she exclaimed, withdrawing her fingers as she spoke, "you are more than generous; but I cannot trust myself to give you an answer cow. I must not be rash, or unjust to yon. Leave me now leave me, I beg yon. I will write to you to-morrow." bomewcat surprised at this sudden dis missal, the agitated curate took his hat ana stick and departed. Next day he received a daintily scented note from Miss Grayling, in which she said that, mnch as she honored him and highly as she valned bis friendship, she could see that it was cot for his interest to marry a dowerless girl, and she, therefore, declined his proposal. Her 'decision, she added, was quite "irevocable." There was but one "r" in "irrevocable," and, somehow, this cir cumstance did something towards mitigating the grief with which Mr. Cope received his letter of dismissal. The testing examination, which was to confirm or overthrow Miss Grayling's repu tation, was fixed for a Friday afternoon. Tne school board meeting happened to fall on the following day, Satarday. At 3 o'clock on Friday Mr. Wensby ar rived; and Mr. Dowthwaite and Miss 'Jor dan went witb him to the schoolhouse. The children were all there, witb clean pinafores and shining faces; but Miss Grayling was absent Miss Jordan's face wore a peculiar smile as one ot the older girls informed the rector tbat Miss Grayling had not been at home for three days. Miss Jordan soon set the children to work; and in five minctes the inspector was con vinced, by the clearest evidence, tbat cot one of the schoolgirls could make even a de cent button-hole, much less onelike those contained in the specimens. "You had better get rid of your superior young person as soon as you can," he said to Mr. Dowthwaite, as they went back to the rectory. Next morning, however, when the school board met, they found a letter awaiting them from Miss Grayling, in which she said that, in consequence of the undeserved aspersions which bad been thrown tipon her siaMgement of the school, she felt that the course most consistent with herdlgaity was to resign the post which she had had tbe "honor of holding. The rector was indignant, and moved that Miss Gravling's resignation be not ac cepted; but that in consequence of the revelations that had been made, she be summarily dismissed. Mr. Sowerbutts was not present; but the other members of the board, who bad but a very limited idea of tbe heinousness of Miss Gravling's offence, murmured at the severity of the sentence; and at last tbe rector was persuaded to let the resignation be accepted. The following day was Sunday. It was the curate's turn to preach, the rector's to read prayers. The choir and the school children were in their places; and Miss Jor dan scanned the congregation with an ap proving glance from the rectory'.pew. "Dearly beloved brethren, the Scripture moveth us," began the rector. At that moment an unwonted rustle was heard at the door, a subdued murmur ran through the assembled worshipers, and the rector, lifting his eyes, beheld the ex school mistress moving ud the aisle on the arm of Mr. Sowerbutts!' There could be no doubt of what had haDoened. The curate received a shock shock such as she never before experienced. Miss Jordan for got herself in her amazement, and stared at tbe bride as if she haJ been a ghost! Mr. Sowerbutts tramped stolidly on till he reached his own pew; and then, having duly installed bis wife therein, began to say tbe responses' in a louder tone than usual. The bride, in a dainty Parisian bonnet, looked very pretty. Her triumph was com plete. Miss Sowerbutts retired to a cottage which she owned in the outskirts Of Groby; and the schoolmistress reigned over the Monnt Farm and its owner, with gentle but firm sway. When Mr. Wensby came to Little 'Pud dington for the next annual inspection, he, was proceeding, to the schoolhouse in state, bearing Miss Jordan on his arm, and escorted by the rector, when the party met a ponv carriage, in which was seated a firetty and" beautifully dressed woman.. The ady bowed graciously to Mr. Wensby, and -he, not remembering the circumstances under which he had last seen that attractive smile, returned the salnte. Mrs. Sowerbutts glanced at Miss Jordan and smilecTmalie iously. Miss Jordan dropped her hand from her companions arm; and the rector, stepping forward, whispered something in his friend's ear. "Good gracious !" exclaimed the inspector; "that woman! I hadn't an idea who she was, I assure you. Thought I knew the face that was all." But Miss Jordan had suddenly become deaf; and on the subject of the senior churchwarden's wife, she continued to be deaf lor tbe remainder of her days. ill! the Tear Sound. AFFECTION OF THE TUBUS, A Little Pet After Bcln Tuned' Loose a Tear Reeocnlzea Ell ZHnater. Cceur d'Alene City Times. J. H. Brobaska is noted for his fondness for dumb animals of every description, and if be had retained all the "pets" he has possessed at various times he would have a fair start in the way of a zoological garden of bis own. Probably the most novel of all his experiences in this line as related by himself recently occurred jon the late near this city. Sometime last summer, while strolling about Cceur d'AIene's suburbs, he came acioss two small turtles, lively little fellows of tbe water species, and succeeded in cap turing them. He placed them in his coat pocket, took them to Spokane Falls, and there provided them with a miniature aqua rium in his room and commenced their do mestication and education. One of them the tutor named "Pat," and the other one he called "Pete." Pat had evidently at some time in his life been a hod-carrier, for on his back was a white spot as if caused by a drop of plaster falling upon it. As winter approached, and Mr. Brobaska was absent from bis room a great portion of the time, he became solicitous for the welfare of his proteges, and finally determined to bring them back to the Cceur d'Alene Lake and set tnem free. Accordingly they were again placed ia his pocket and in due time re turned to their native elemenf. l A few days ago, wjiile Mr. "Brobaska and some friends were rowing upon the lake, the former espied a small turtle swimming upon the surface a short distance from them. He instantly stretched out his hand to the un couth voyager and called out: "Pete, Pete, come here, old boy!" but, as the summons was not obeyed, he changed tbe salutation to "Pat, Pat" At the pronunciation of the magic name the little paddler stretched out his neck, turned his head, and, as the call was repeated, changed his course and swam fearlessly to the boat, where he climbed into his master's hand, was placed in the latter's pocket, and has again become a citizen ot Spokane Falls. ,Mr. Brobaska hopes in time to find "Pete" again and re cover him in the same way.

An Ei-llember of the Commune Discusses the Working Glasses. WAGESHIGHEEANDinETIMESHAEDER rCOKRISPONDINCI OT TBI SISFATCI11 . Pabis, August 18. The political import ance of tbe working classes of the French capital and tbe unique influence which they exercise upon the whole development of French national life, cannot be over-estimated. The distinctness of character, the proud independence and the power of initiative which belong to the working population of Paris, have no parallel in any other European capital. The true Parisian for I am careful to exclude the numbers of provincial and foreign workmen who flock to Paris is possessed of qualities, both moral and intellectual, which rank him among the aristocracy of the human race. He is of exemplary sobriety, attached to his family, full of dignity, industrious, and of a most gentle disposition. Eefined in his taste, be has the instincts of an artist and the ardor of a votary of science. His love of country is only equalled by his zeal for every kind of knowledge. He is a great reader so great, indeed, that his tastes are considered even by authors in the highest position, and thus indirectly exercise a dis tinct and powerful influence on the litera ture of France. There is not an author, great or small, who does not make some at tempt to deserve the favor of this vast pub lic, who does not task his ingenuity to touch its feelings, to interpret its sentiments, to respond to the tendencies of its imagination. Success in this attempt brings to even tbe most distinguished author, not only the material advantage of a huge circulation, but a real increase of fame. FOECED TO DO VIOLENCE. This, or course, may seem a very different picture from that which foreigners are apt to form of tbe character of the Parisian workman. His revolutionary aims, his out bursts of sanguinary violence, the Beign of Terror, tbe successive emeutes of 1848, the Commune, have left 'upon many minds the impression that the Parisians are excitable, reckless, at times ferocious the very re verse, in fact, of the quiet, thoughtful, gentle character which I would ascribe to them. That character, however, is not in consistent with the facts of Parisian history. The crowds who joined in the several out break of popular mry were starving work men who had been 'goaded beyond human endurance, and whose frenzy it was beyond the power of any organized lorce to restrain. And then, what an example has been set to the popular party by the brutality of other classes of society iu their hour of victory! Thirty thousand human beings men, women and children ruthlessly shot down in the streets ot Paris within a single week. The ault of the Parisian workmen, I maintain, is cot an excess of savagery, but an excess of forbearance. He is too willing to forgive even tbe faults which he most de spises. Enthusiastic for what is good, he has not a sufficient detestation of what is base. But his chief failing, and that which has brought him so much suffering and so much misconstruction, is his uncompromising idealism. There is something of the martyr spirit in this unflinching fidelity to the un attainable. THE BrBDEN HEAVIER It is, however, not only the thought of disappointed aspirations which weighs upon the Parisian workingman. The struggle of life is harder than it used tq be. The sub stitution of great for small industries, how ever beneficial.to the consumer, Jias made the lot of the workman more uncertain, and deprived bim of the prospect of an inde pendent, economio existence. And then, there is the growing expense of lodging in the center of Paris, which has driven the workman more and more to seek refuge in the outskirts of the city, and thereby has broken up his old associations and made in roads upon his family lite. The home to which he is so tenderly attacned is not so much to him as it used to be. The work man no longer goes home to his middav meal. His wife no longer devotes herself to her household and her children, bnt for the most part goes out to work just in the same way as her husband. Their home is too oiten nothing more than a nightly meet ing place for two people overwhelmed by the toil of tbe day. WOMEN "WOEKINOWONDEBS. But there is a bright side, too, to the grow ing practice of female labor. The increased" importance ol the woman to tbe snpport of tbe family, and tbe capacity which she has displayed in her new character of bread winner, nas given ber a fresh Influence in the social life of the worKing classes. The Parisian workman waralways respectful to his wife, but he used to pay little attention to her opinions. Now he makes her the sharer of all his interests, intellectual and political; he takes ber witb him to all meet ings, and he even chooses his newspaper with reference to her tastes. The influence she exercises over him in political matters is the only protection he enjoys-against the political impostors to whose fine promises and empty schemes his open and unsus picious nature causes him to tail an easy prey. The women are thus a conservative element of real power. Woe to the Govern ment which in any way incurs the hostility of the wile of the Parisian workman! When she is not interested in defending tbe status qno and restraining her husband, the revo lution is not far off. The means by which the workmen of Paris seek to improve their economic posfc tion under the modern system of wholesale production, are the same which have been employed elsewhere, and they have met with a similar fate. Co-operative stores have succeeded, while co-operative produc tion has proved a failure. The most lmport tant of these new growths, however, are the "chambers syndicates," or boards of concil iation, iu which workmen and employers meet to arrange differences arising between them in the course of their trade. "WAGES INCBEASED IN TEANCE. As regards wages, there is no denying the fact that tbey have risen of late years; bnt an increase in tbe price paid for manual labor is no safe criterion of the prosperity of tbe woiking classes. It is maintained by certain economists tbat the Paris working people have benefited by the great pros perity of the past 30 years more than any other class of the community. At first sight, the statistics of wages undonbtedly bear out these assertions. Thus I find that wages have risen in Paris, in the short period be tween 1875 and 1885, from 40 to 60 per cent For example, day laborers were paid in 1875 at the rate ot 40 centimes an hour, and last year they received 60 centimes, exactly 50 per cent more than ten years previously. The wages ot skilled stonecutters in the same time rose from 75 centimes to 1 franc 20 centimes, those of building carpenters Irom 60 to 90 centimes, plumbers trom 4 Irancs to 5 Irancs, carpenters from5 francs to 8 Irancs, and so on. It mast be borne in mind, however, that the condition of those engaged in the build ing trade in Paris is exceptional. Napoleon III, after the coup d'etat, endeavored to attach the working classes to his Govern ment by giving them well-paid employment He therefore undertook to rebuild Paris, and necessarily, the rate of wages rose rapidly Since the fall of the Empire the Paris municipality has found it necessary to continue in some measure the policy of the'Empire, and at the same time tbe rapid growth of Paris In wealth and trade led to a great development ot building. It is said roughly that there are at present about 300,000 persons dependent upon the building trade in "Paris. Tbe great activity of building exceptionally raised wages. It must be added, however, .that while the rise of wages in Paris was greater than else where, there was also a very marked rise throughout the whole of France. France is steadily growing in wealth, while her popu lation Is almost stationary, end the scarcity of labor therefore increases, wages. The rise would be still greater were it cot that there is a constant influx of Belgians, Italians and Germans, in spite of every eflort made by the French to eliminate them, who help to keep down the rate of wages. But in spite of immigration, the rise in the rate is constant and considerable. DRAWBACKS TO PBOSPEBITY. It would consequently be a mistake to as sume that the improvement in the condition of the working classes is as great as would seem to follow from the rise in the rate of wages. In tbe first place, the heavy taxa tion caused by the war has added to the prices of most things, and the expiry of the commercial treaties, by augmenting the du ties upon foreign goods, has still further raised prices. Altbongb, therefore, the con dition of the working classes is a little bet ter, perhaps, than it was 30 years ago, it is not so much better as the rise in the rate of wages would seem to imply. Moreover, ty is to he recollected that for a series of vears there have been bad harvests, and' that bread, therefore, is dearer than it otherwise would be, in consequence of the need of im porting large supplies. And lastly, there has been a very great failure year alter year of the wine crop. The contention, then, of the optimists is not borne out by tbe facts, ceive from the statistics of wages. The fact is that there has been during the past quar ter of acenturya certain improvement in the condition of the working classes; but the improvement in the standard of living has been'so much greater that working peo ple n Pans really feel themselves as poor as ever. Tbe great aspiration of the working women of Paris is to have a little shop, while her husband ever dreams of making his fortune by some new invention, And, in fact, bis inventiveness, is remarkable, though he too often fails to reap the fruits of it This originalitv of the Parisian workman, like many other of bis good qual ities, is inseparable from the soil of Paris. Take the workman away from his native city, and the languishes and sinks to the or dinary level of his class. LEGISLATING FOB LABOE. The City Fathers have done more to better the condition of the working classes than all the philanthropists throughout France. Dr. Chassagne, who on tbe eve of tbe last elections to tire Chamber published a big pamphlet on the work accomplished under the Bepuhlio during the preceding 19 years, has similarly analyzed the public acts of tbe Municipal Council of Paris. In iustice to the latter body we may follow him briefly through some of his leading facts, which are intended to show that some genuine re forms have beeu carried out in the interests of the laborers. First, as regards their daily employments, their boursof work have been reduced to nine hours per diem in all municipal under takings. This reform has ; benefited 200,000 workmen every year, and covers a wide range of contracts, amounting on an annual average to $80,000,000. The scale ot prices fixed by employers and employed has also been compulsorily enforced in municipal work. It is revised once a year, and has abolished the system of bargaining, which lowered wages and favored middlemen. Next, contracts for the maintenance of municipal buildingM in repair have been given out in a direct manner wherever possi- w.v, -v n.iku.t.u o i.uiJUahluUB ur i!330Cia- tions, which have even received advances of money to facilitate their tasks. Again, workingmen's exhibitions have received grants, which, in 1889 at the Paris Exposi tion, amounted to 1100,000, Deputations of workingmen were also sent to Philadelphia, Melbourne, Boston, Antwerp, London and Amsterdam. Money is also voted annually to private schools, intended to perfect the artisan's knowledge and skill. Higher lectures for POPUXAB INSTBUCTION have been created at the Hotel deVille, where the first two chairs were entrusted to eminent professors, MM. Pouchet and Louis Menard, and devoted respectively to biology aud history. The free libraries have re ceived this year grants amounting to $6,400, and the total number of municipal libraries now organized is 60. There was only one institution of this kind under tbe Empire. In order to assist the poor, in view of the high rents paid in most parts of Paris, the Municipal Council has established a charit able fund known as Secure deLoyer, dis tributed quarterly. It was raised in De cember last to (12,000, on the motion of M. Strauss. Snail tenants, again, have been exempted from the personal'and movable tax. whioh is now paid by only 70.249 of the inhabitants of Paris, 557,177 escaping scot free. It is only in Paris that rents below $80 are not subjected to taxation, while in the higher rentals it is progressive. Several of these measures are condemned by short-sighted partisans as savering of socialistic tendencies. My contention is, however, that any reasonable step tending tol the improvement of the workingmen's lot, and to his advancement in the arts and cralts, cannot bnt simultaneously promote tbe interests of 'bis employer, and finally those of the public. Jules Jopfbin, Deputy. A GEEAT BOBBERS DEATH. Remarkable Statements to tbe Police mnd a Grand Funeral for Him. Berlin Letter to The Dispatch. A Hungarian newspaper clipping de scribes the sad end and the imposing funeral of the great national robber chief, Banko Marczi, wbo lately expired at Toked. Banko had lived on tbe interest of his ill gotten wealth for the last ten years, and was the recipient of many honors trom his native town. When he was about to die he called the Burgomaster and police anthorities to his bedside and declared that he bad done many a noble deed in bpite of his profession, and tbat be died in piece with God, as he had never robbed a Christian, but made it his business to kill as many Hebrews as possible. Banko made the poor of Toked bis heirs, and had a right royal funeral, tbe hearse being drawn by four white horses, and the whole of the clergy being in attendance. A popular poet composed a poem to Banko's memqry. This reminds me of the colored lithograph I once met with in a St, Louis barroom, .which commemorated the law abiding qualities of Mr. Jesse James, road agent. In this picture Jesse kneels on the .steps of the Missouri Capitol with bowed bead ana empty giraie, wmle several devout-looking policemen carried his weapons up the steps to the Governor of the State, who receives him with outstretched hands. AH I8LAHD WASHING AWAY. 0nco.It Was Forty Miles Lons and Now It Is bat Twenty and Gains:. Fall Mall Budget. The empire is in imminent danger of los ing another of its minor possessions to wit, Sable Island. The captain of the Canadian Government steamer Newfield, who has just been paying an official visit to this little island on the extreme south coast of Nova Scotia, reports that the land is fast disap pearing before the encroaching sea. In the days when the venturesome Marquis de la Bo'che, following the example of tbe illus trious Cartier, sought to establish a French convict colony on tne island, it measured a good 40 miles in length. Within the last ten years two lighthouses have been washed away, and the sea is now eating into the sand, which surrounds the third.

P0SHISG CEOFTEKS FBOH TUB 1AND rCORBESPOXDIXCE OF TUB DISPATCH.! Island or Mull, August 22. It is an old saying of the Clan Campbell that "it is a far cry to Loch Awe." but whatever it mar have been in the days of Bob Boy and his I area enemy, the Macallum More, from Lon don to Loch Awe or the uttermost points pf the Scottish Islands is now little more than a "between breakfast and dinner journey." There is no country in the world not even excepting America that the railway has done so much as it has for Scotland in the way ol opening up parts hitherto almost in accessible to tbe tourist. Nowadays you can dine in London and be whirled in a Pullman rleht into the middle of Bob Boy's country, and breakfast next morning under the shadow of Ben Cruachan. And what a country it is: "Where else have you such picturesque ruins, such sketches of wild moor and lonely lochs lying undes the shadows of the great hills. Tbe whole country is redolent ot poetry and romance, and there is hardly a promontory jutting out into the sea as you sail through tbe "Western Highlands, that is not crowned with the rnins of some old Highland chief tain, "whose good sword Is rust, and whose soul is with the saints we trnst." HOME ON THE MOOES. At this particular season ot the year Scot landat any rate the Highlands of Scot landis given over to the Sassenach sports men, who swarm over the border in greater numbers than their forefathers ever did in tbe days when they came to have a shot at the natives and not at their game. 'Every acre of moorland tbat can breed a grouse, or bit of woodland that can shelter a red deer, is let to the wealthy stock jobber or mer chant prince; and many a Sccottish land owner wonld long ere this have been through the Bankruptcy; Court if it had not been lor tbe revenue derived from the moors. Not only is tbe shooting season a boon to the landlords, but the money ot the Sassen- acn goes a long way to provide a winter's keep for a horde of chillies, gamekeepers. watchers and beaters, who otherwise would be left to eke ont a scanty subsistence from their "crofts." How in the name of all that is agricultural these same crofts are mado to hear anything at ail is a mystery to met All the manuring they ever get is a top dressing of seawood, and the soil is of the very poorest description. Xet the people stick to tbem like limpets to the rocks, and it requires all the persuasive powers of rela tives who have done well, and who are now pacing rich, to induce them to join them in the States or Canada. NOT A HAEDSHIP. You bear a great deal in America abont the hardship ot driving these crofters off for the purpose of turning their crofts into deer forests. To the uninitiated a deer "forest" means a forest of trees; but a deer "forest" in Scotland is merely a vast track of land where the herbage is so poor that it will hardly support a sheep, far less a human being. If it were not lor the monev thev ,make in the shooting season many of the croners wouia starve, it is really no hard ship at all to make them go; and I have heard an evicted crofter in Canada who cursed his lnck when he was forced to leave his native land, thank bis stars that it bad happened. Grouse shooting in mv bumble onininn i the finest sport in the world. I have shot tigers in India, elephants in Ceylon, and prairie chickens, and the pin-tailed gronse in onr own beloved land, so I know wbereof I speak when I say that grouse shooting on the Scottish moors beats tbem all. Rough ing it in shooting is all very well when yon are young and "sport" of every kind is sur rounded with a sort of glamour. But the day comes when tbe gilt is soon off the gin gerbread and your bones are not as supple as they used to'be. In these days the meat toasted on the point of a knife does not taste nearly as sweet as it used to do, and, with Bailie Nicol Jarvie, I believe in taking with you "all the comforts of the market." JIOItNTNG ON THE ISLAND. I have just returned from a splendid day's shooting. Early this morning I was awakened by a gentle breeze heavily laden with the perfume of the heather, and that indescribable aroma of the "saut seafaeme" blowing in on me through the opened jalousies of my bedroom window. Below I could hear tbe Bolt yelping of the dogs and the guttural exclamations of the chillies to each other in Gaelic, both dogs and men evi dently congratulating themselves that the day of all days to them, the 12th of August, promised to be fine. What a glorious panorama met my eyes as I looked out. Below me stretched the Sound of Mull like a silver streak, clotted here and there with the brown sails of the fishing boats slowly drifting with the tide. The air was so still that I could almost hear tbe thud of the oars in the rowlocks as they tried to help the sails. On the opposite side of the sonnd I could see theigrim ruins of Ardtornich Castle. Just belore me, too, I could see the jagged top ot the "Lady's Bock," on which the Laird of Duart placed his wife in the hope that the tide would sweep her out of the reach of the Divorce Court. Luckily for her she was rescued by the galleys of her brother, the Lord of the Isles. , DOC1S ON THE POINT. We had a good five miles' tramp before we began shooting, and it was no easy job either. Wading throngh heather up to yonr knees, every now and again making a half plunge into a bog that looked solid enough until you put your foot on it, is quite enough to try the staying powers 'of any man. At last we were on the moor where operations were to commence, and tha party spread themselves out in a half circle. The pointers are hard at work and rare good dogs they are, too very soon Juno stiffens herself out, her leg going up like a mark of interrogation, and her expressive tail stands out as stiff as a poker. Then we advance a little, ana presently there is a slight disturbance in the heather, "wh-i-r-r, whir-r, cack, cack, cack," and up sprung the' first grouse of the season. "Bang, bang " and down comes the first brace. "Good shot, old man, better than quill driv ing, that." Of course can anything be done in En land or Scotland without a drink? First blood has to be celebrated with a drink of as fine Glenlivet as ever gurgled down a man's throat, and then we go on until the sun setting behind Ben More warns us that it is time to count the day's sport, and make our way back to the lodge, there to shoot our birds over again over steaming tumblers of Scotch toddy.
