Street Etiquette In Europe.
A LETTER from Paris gives nu no
count of street otiquotto, by which it
will bo seen that ladies do not receive the
samo freedom there as here:
" American ladies visiting Paris are apt
to bo much annoyed until they lonrn the
etiquette of the Btrccts. They are liable to
compromise themselves if they appear
alono upon tho thoroughfares without the
observance of certain rules which time has
rendered fixed and immutablo. In tho first
place, a respectable young lady in Paris
novct nppears on tho streets in anything but
A black dress, unless when with a malo
escort or an aged duenna. If in a light or
whito dress her character is liablo to bo
mistaken, especially if she should be young
or interesting. Then if she is without
escort sho must, to maintain her character,
push straight forward, without looking to
the right or left. If she should stop to
look in at tho fine displays in the store
windows for which Paris is so famous, sho
must not be surprised if some of tho young
men who loungo around tho cafes walk up
to her, nudge her elbow, and enter into a
conversation. It is the practico of the demi
monde to thus stop when a gentleman is
approaching whose attention they desire to
attract, and tho masculines of looso murals
chooso to regard any one who may stop to
look at the gorgeous array of diamonds in
a window as having invited their attention.
So also in riding. A lady seated alono
in a carriago, either in tho street or in the
Boisdo Boulogne, is regarded as reserving
tho seat beside her for any chance gentle
man whom she may attract. Thus ladies
who havo no malo escort either take serv
ants with them when they ride or borrow a
neighbor's child, if they have nono of their
own. To ride alono would be to invito
insult or offensive attention.
The snmo is the rule in London, and
almost throughout Europe Tho fact is that
the more respectable class seldom walk tho
streets. In London you never see what we
would call at homo a well dressed lady.
Those who seem and undoubtedly aro re
putable, are arrayed in plain suits of black,
evidently intending and desiring to shun
rathor than ' court observation. A finely
dressed female in London is invariably re
garded as a woman of loose character if
she have no escort with her, and even thou
she must carry a very demure face and her
escort must not put on any foppish airs if
he docs not desire to compromise the char
acter of his companion. But a black dress
and a fast walk, as if in a great hurry, is
the ouly thing that will insure for a lady,
alone in tho street, entire freedom from im
proper attention or insult. The only finely
dressed females on the streot anywhere in
Europe are those of bad character."
t3fTlioro is an old fellow in New Hamp
shire who, whatever his condition, never
loses the sense of his dignity.
One warm summer's day he was seated
on top of a coach which was slowly wending
its wny over the sandy roads above Con
cord. Frequont application to his pocket
flask had rendered his position somewhat
unsteady, and at lost a sudden jolt tumb
led him off into the sand by the roadside.
The driver stopped and with aid from the
passengers, he was at last set up again in
the coach, between two other men who
were to guard against a recurrence of such
an aocident.
' Our horo looked very solemn for a mile
or two, without auy remark, and then
poke: . .
" I shay, driver, wo had a pretty Baa
upshot."
"Upset! We haven't upset,' V replied
the driver, a little hurt at the suggestion.
Yes, we did upshet 1 1 shay we did up
shot ! I'll leave It to this gentleman if we
didn't upshet."
The umpire decided at once against him.
' The solemn look cams back to his face,
He meditated some minutes, and then
gravely responded:
"I shay, driver, if 1 bad known we
didn't upshet wouldn't 'or got off,"
A Tear Without a Summer.
ALMOST everybody has hoard toll
about the terrible dark year, in the
early part of the present century, which
old New England farmers still rofor to as
" Eighteen hundred and starved to death."
A contributor gives tho following informa
tion . , . , .
Whilo every one is speaking of the pres
ent season as being remarkable in its char
acteristics, I havo gathered fof your read
ers some reliable facts of tho year 1810,
known as. "the year without a summer."
Fow persons now living cau recollect it ;
but it was the coldest ever known through
Europe and Amorica. Tho following is a
brief abstract of tho weather during each
month of the year. , ..
January was mild ; so much so as to ron
der fires almost; needless in parlors. De
cember previous was vory cold.
February was not very cold ; with tho
exception of a few days it was mild, liko
its predecessor.' "
March was cold and boisterous during
tho first part of it ; the remainder was mild.
A great freshet on tho Ohio and Kentucky
rivers caused great loss of proporty.
April began warm, but grew colder as
tho month advanced, and ended with snow
and ice nnd temperature more liko winter
than spring. . . , , .
May was mora remarkable for frowns
than smiles. , Buds and fruits were frozen ;
ice formed an inch thick ; corn was killed
and the Holds again and again replanted
uutil deemed too late.,
Juuo was tho coldest ever known in this
latitude. 1 Frost, ice, and snow were com
mon. Almost every groou thing was kill
ed. Fruit nearly all destroyed. Snow fell
to tho depth of ten inches in Vormont, sev
eral in Maino, thrco in tho interior of New
York, and also in Massachusetts. Consid
erable damge was done at New Orleans in
consequence of tho rapid rise of tho river ;
the suburbs were covered with wator, and
tho roads wero only passable in boats.
July was accompanied by frost and ico.
On tho 5th, ico was formed of tho thick
ness of common window glass, throughout
Now England, Now York, and some parts
of Pennsylvania. Indian corn was nearly
all destroyed ; some favorably , situated
fields in places escaped. This was true of
some of the hill-farms in Massachusetts.
August was more cheerless, if possible,
than the summer months already passed.
Ico was formed half an inch thick. Indian
corn was so frozen that tho great part was
cut down and dried for fodder. ' Almost
overy green thing was destroyed, both in
this country and in Europe Papers re
ceived from England state, "that it would
be remembered by the present generation
that tho year 1810 was a year in which
there was no summer." Very little corn
ripened in tho Now England nnd Middle
States. Farmers supplied themselves from
tho corn produced in 1813 for the seed of
tho spring of 1817. It sold at from four to
five dollars per bushel.
September furnished about two weeks of
tho mildest weather of tho season. Soon
after tho middlo it becamo vory cold and
frosty ; ice formed a quarter of an inch
thick.
October produced more than its share of
cold weather ; frost and ico wore very com
mon. November was cold and blustering.
Snow fell so as to make good sleighing.
December was mild and comfortable.
Tho above . is a brief summary of " tho
cold summer of 18i0," as it was callod, in
order to distinguish it from the cold season.
The winter was mild. Frost and ice were
common in every month of the year.
Very littlo vegetation matured in the East
ern or Middlo Statos. Tho sun's lays seem
ed to be destitute of heat throughout tho
summor ; all nature was clad in a sable
huo, and men exhibited no littlo anxiety
concerning the future of this life.
The average wholesale price of flour
during that year, in the Philadelphia mar
ket, was;thirtceiidollars per barrel. The
ovorago price of wheat, in England, was
ninety-seven shillings per quarter.
An Optical Delusion.
Many optical toys have been made which
depend upon this law of vision. The thuu
matrop is one of tho si mplestof them. Two
pictures are put on th e opposite sides of a
circular piece of card, w hich is twirled rap
idly by means oE. strings fastened to oppo
site points of its edgo. The two images
combine in tho eye, and we see one picture
made up of the two. A bird may be put
on one sldo of the card, and a cage on the
other, and we see the bird In the cage when
the card is twirled. Bo a man on one side
and a horse oa the other may unite to form
an equestrian group. You can get an
idea of an effect by making a distinct
horizontal line with ink on one side of a
card, and an upright line on the other,
which will form a cross if you twirl the
card.
The First Easily Guessed.
A lady of whom ill-natured things have
been said, but who give pleasant little
parties, to which gontlemen are always glad
to go, invited her doctor the other evening.
The doctor is married, and naturally went
alone. " Why did your wife not come with
you, doctor?" asked the lady. ,
"For two reasons, madam," replied the
doctor ; "the second ia she baa a bad cold."
Too Clean.'
Did you ever see a woman who was pos
sessed by the house cleaning (lohd ? not
periodically, but at all times ?--who would
go about drawing . her1 linger over evory
lounge, and table, and chair, peering into
crack and crannies , for crooked pins and
lint, holding tumblers up to the light for
finger mark ; in short so utterly absorbed
in tho pursuit of dirt, that every other pur
suit was nothing in comparison ?
Now, being Now England born, I know
what neatness is, and value it as only a Now
Englandor can ; but when it takes such
shape as this, and robs life of all its charms
I turn my back upon it with righteous
disgust. Who thanks these jealous juries
for their solf-imposed labors? Certainly
not thoir husbands, who floe into coiners
from dust-pans and dust-brushes, and
weary of the recital of their prowess day
by day. Certainly not their children, who
have no place to stow away thoir littlo sa
cred proportyln the shape of bright bits of
silk paper, or broken cups, which are dear
and precious to them, and should always
bo hold in rospect within proper innocent
limits. ......
Oh, ye careful and troubled Marthas of
the housohold, stop and tako breath. Place
a flower on the mantle, that you and your
household may, perhaps, have some in your
lives. While you stop to rest, road. So
shall the cobwebs be brushed from your
neglected brain, and you shall learn that
something elso besides cleanliness is neces
sary to mako home really homo for those
dependent on your care.
. Throw your broom out of doors; take
your children by tho hand, and let the fresh
wind touch your wrinkled forehead. If your
houso is wound up to such an immuaculato
pitch of cleanliness, it can run on a fow
hours without your care. Laugh and talk
with them, or, bettor still, liston to thoir
foolish-wise talk. Bring homo a bit of ginger-bread
for each of them, and play some
Himplo game with them. Put on tho fresh
dress you havo, and ask your husband,
when ho comes in, if ho recognizes his
wife.
" I wish my mother looked as pretty as
you," said a littlo girl once to her neigh
bor. " But your mamma is much prettier than
I," replied tho neighbor. Tho truth was
that tho child's mother was always in a
wrapper unless company was expected.
The rest of the time she was under tho do
minion of tho liouse-cloaning flond, and the
children fled from Biich a joyloss, utilitarian
home, where no flower of boauty could
over get timo to tako root and blossom.
There is littlo neod to misinterpret my
meaning. Many n ruined life has como of
a joyloss home. Your children take to tho
sunlight as naturally as do tho flowers.
Shut it out of your housea, and they will
go abroad in search of it ; you may be sure
of that. Isn't this worth thinking about,
oil yo mothors? Careful and troubled
about other things, and yot so blind to your
first nnd greatest duty !
One Too Many.
At a watering placo a few weeks since,
one of the boarders, a young lawyer who
had a room on the lower floor opening on to
the porch, was treated to a conversation
usually intended for tho ears of only one.
Soon after ho hnd retired for tho night,
chairs wero moved on the porch outside
his window, and directly he heard voices
low, but earnest voices principally a
man's voice, and as he warmed to his sub
ject it grew so loud that our. friend was
not only kept awake but could not ' avoid
hearing what was suid.
Thei young man was pouring forth the
tale of his admiration his ardent love,
as steadfast as tho polar star, as fixed as
adamant. She seemed to like it very well,
but didn't say yea or nay. So the adorer
wont on in the same strain he 'happy that
sho would listen, she happy that he would
speak. This continued from twelve till two
in tho weo hours, when tho fair one made
a move. The wrotched spoon begged that
she would toll him his fate then and there,
but sho would not. At last she said" I
will tell you in the morning."
Imagine thoir honor and surprise as a
wild cry came from tho sleepless lawyer's
room: " For God's sake don't come back
before ten, aud I will be heio to hear the
rest."

COT Jones and Brown wero talking lately
of a young clergyman whose pleaching they
bad heard that day.
"What do you think . of him ?" asked
Brown.
"I think," said Jones, "he did much
better two years ago." .i
"Why, he didu't preach thou," said
Brown.
"True," said Jones, "that is what I
mean."
tW A preachor one lippery, frosty
morning, going borne with one of his elder
ly members, the old gentleman slipped and
fell. When the minister saw that he was
not hurt, he said, " My friend, sinner
stand on slippery places." " Yes," replied
the old man, looking at the preacher, " I
see they do, but I cau 't."

A CHy of Women. .
Mrs. Lconowens, in her lecture on Siam,
tolls tho following : "The central part of
tho capital city of Bangkok, in Siam, is de
voted exclusively to tho residence of some
nine thousand women among whom no man
but the King may enter. The inhabitants
of this inner city aro the thousand women
of the royal harem, and some eight thou
sand more, who are soldiers, artificers and
slaves. This littlo world is ruled by women
as magistrates, who administer the laws of
tho kingdom. There is no appeal from
their decisions. Prisoners are arrested by
sheriffs of thoir own sex. If it is necessa
ry to chain them, it is done by blacksmiths
of their own sex. If a disturbance arisos,
it is suppressed by a forco of fivo hundred
Amazons, trained from infancy to the use
of sword and spear. Meanwhile the slave
women carry on a variety of manufactures.
Tho women of higher birth are "scaled"
to the King ; tho slave women may marry,
but their husbands dwell outsido the walls.
The children, if boys, are banished from
the city of women at six years old ; only
the girls remain. AU the Oiiental distinc
tions of rank are. scrupulously observed
within this strange realm, except that the
magistrates are chosen for personal charac
ter and wisdom. Leonowens speaks with
great reverence of the woman who was
Chief Justico when she lived in Bangkok,
aud tells some remarkable anecdotes of the
courage with which she ouforced justice
against oflendors far superior to horsolf in
rank."
t2TAt about twenty miles from Berlin
is situated the village of Sperenberg, noted
for the deepest well that has ever been
sunk. Owing to the presence of gypsum
iu the locality, which is at a moderate
distance from the capital, it occurred to
the Government authorities iu charge of
the mines to obtain a supply of rock salt.
With this end in view, the sinking of a
shaft or well 10 feet in diameter was com
menced some five years ago, and at a depth
of 280 feet tho salt was reached. The bor
ing was continued to a further depth of
U00 feet, the diameter of this bore being re
duced to about 13 inches. The operations
were subsequently prosecuted by the aid of
steam until a depth of 4,104 feet was at
tained. At this point the boring was dis
continued, the borer or bit being still in
the salt deposit, which thus exhibit the
enormous thickness of 9,097 feet. The
boring would have been continued in order
to discover what description of deposit lay
below the salt, but for the mechanical dif
ficulties connected with the further prose
cution of the operations. ,
