While sitting over our chocolate at Brignon'fl, the conversation turned upon robbers and robberies in the French me tropolis, when ene of our number, Jules Lafout, rcluted the following : A gentleman who had been out late on a very dark night wag returning home with a lighted lantern in his hand, and while passing over the Pont Neuf he was accosted by a stranger in a manner so polite and so supplicating that he at once stopped. " You have a light," said the stranger, " and will perhaps do mo the kindness to read for me this bit of paper which I have just picked up. It may be of con sequence. The gentleman Leld up his lantern and looked first upon the applicant, whom ho found to bo a strong-built, sin ewy man, heavily bearded, and very re spectably dressed. Then he took the paper, and, to his amazement, read as follows : ' When you have read this, speak not a word I Bpeak, and you die ! Give to ins your watch, your jewelry, and your purse 1 Do this, and then silently dc part, and yoxx may live. Beware !" Daring robberies had recently been committed in Taris by bold and desper ate men, and the gentleman had no doubt that he had met one of the frater nity, lie had no weapon of defence with him, and not caring to jeopardize his life, he concluded it most prudent to fallow the directions thus silently given, and accordingly ho took out his watch and his purse, and removed his rings and his bosom-pin, and delivered them up, nt tho same timo taking another careful survey of the stranger's fnce, so that he might recognize him, should he ever after meet him. Having done this with out opposition, he made his way over the bridge as rapidly as possible. A week or more had elapsed when, one day, as tho gentleman was standing upon tho Quni tie In Conference, he saw his robber friend of the Pont Neuf pass ing near at hand. Keeping the man in sight until he could call in the aid of the polico he had him arrested and taken be fore a magistrate, and upon full repre sentation by the gentleman of all the circumstances, end upon direct accusa tion of the robbery, he was sent to pris on. When tbm robber was brought to the bar for tiial he picked his teeth and stroked his teard very unconcernedly ; and in answer to the indictment he pleaded not guilty mod umv.ndlu. The gentleman, who was the only witness of the fact agitinst the prisoner, swore pos- itively to the robbery, and the identity Ot tho person. The prisoner made his own defence ; and he did it with an ease and assurance to bo found only in the niOBt accom plished ot his class. " My lords and gentlemen," he said, " I confess that on the evening specified I did meet thia 'gentleman on the Pont Neuf ; and the scene, as he has related it, transpired between us. Eat, tiel I I had no evil thought. It is my misfor tune not to bo able to read. I had just picked up a bit of paper, and thinking it might be of importance, and seeing that the gentleman had a lighted lantern in his hand, I asked him to read it far mo. I would have asked him what he had found, but before I could speak he pulled out his purse and his watch, and thrust them into my hands, and also forced upon me his linger rings and diamond pin. I was astounded. I thought hint mad perhaps he meant to jump from the parapet into the river, suicide. B'as it the paper had caused this '( Ilad it been meant for him ' I was upon the point of questioning him when he turned and dashed away, leaving me, for the time, like one stupefied. When I recov ered myself the thought Hashed upon ' me that tho paper might be of great value, some state secret, perhaps, and tho stranger, wishing to keep it without question, had given me his val uables to get rid ot me. Ma Joi ! I think it is I who have a right to complain. I would like justice for the useless excite ment 1 have Buttered. Not a soul in court but believad the rascal was guilty; but no formal de mand upon the gentleman for his money had been proved, and the man who could not read, but who could plead with the grace of a Foquet, was suffered to go tree. Fagslng. In somo of the English schools the system ol fagging, by which the junior pupils are compelled to perform menial omces tor their seniors, is still Kept up, and the smaller boys are obliged to sub mit to all sorts of tyrannical impositions from the larger ones. But this is a trifling abuse compared with the brucal ity practised in school discipline. For instance, a correspondent of the London leleqrmm savs that in Winchester Vol loge the prut'ects senior pupils to whom are delegated certain disciplinary powers -are permitted to flog the pupils coming under their authority to any extent and upon the most trifling provocation. Each pnufect has a ground ash in his possession, and uses it and abuses it whenever he pleases. These floggings are no child's play, either. TLe coats of the victims are frequently cut iuto rib buns by the blows from the ash, which often draw the blood freely. Twenty blows am given at a time, and the pun ishmeut is sometimes even more severe, as the caprice or malevolence of the prte feet suggests. A Little Hebo. The Hoy al Humane Society of Great Britain has just trans mitted its medal, with a suitable testi monial, to a little fellow named Alfred Ingham, aged uly eleven, who rescued another boy named Iialliwell, from the cinal at oweby-bridge, yorksnire. Iialliwell, it seems, was playing with several other boys en the canal bank, when he accidentally fell into the water. The cries of his companions, who were paralyzedvwith fear and made no effort to save him, brought - Ingham to the spot. After diving several times, he succeeded in rescuing him. Ingham seems to have learnt not 'only to swim well, but how to treat persons apparent ly drowned, for ou getting the boy on the bank, he placed him on his stomach and gently rolled him from side to side. The uoy's mother offered him money, which, however, the little fellow declined. The promoters of an iron company in England represent that an average pro fit of 3.75 per tun on finished iron may be ex pec tea during a- number of years, tut a larger turn la realized at present. Kewspaper Advertising. Ever since the era of advertising was inaugurated, business men of all clauses have been made the tlotlras of a oertain olass of men who, with flippant speeoh, and with ft persistency as provoking as it would be admirable in a better sauso, have persuaded them to enter into their particular sohemes. These schemes are numerous, as many an advertiser can at test, and when we weigh their influence in a calm, impartial manner, we shall become convinced that they are a sub lime fraud upon the too-lenient adver tising public ; and the advertiser, when he has submitted to the imposition, has literally thrown his money away. Ths schemes of these honey-tongued and metal-visaged gentry, who besiege the unwary advertiser on every hand and bore him into giving them an "ad." which the advertiser generally does in order to get rid of him are, as we have heretofore mentioned, exceedingly nu merous. There is the " programme " scheme, for instance, cunningly inter spersed with stale jokes, or other " light and entertaining reading matter," and handed to the passer-by on these days when there chanoes to be an unusual gathering in the town or city, only to be glanced at for the space of a second, if at all, and then carelessly thrown away to be trampled under foot. This is decided ly a waste of money on the part of the advertiser. Then, again, we have the hotel-register schemejhotel card -advertising scheme, and the hotel card-rack scheme, together with other schemes too numerous to mention. Now, what the honest adver tisers want, and, indeed, what every ad vertiser in the land wants, is the greatest return for the amount of money invest ed. In order to secure this there is but one reliable method, and that is the newspaper, (for which there is a demand, because of its worth). Th American people are pre-eminently a reading peo ple, and of all the literature thrown broadcast over the country, that of the newsrjaner predominates and is the most generally read. The people are grad ually being educated u to the practice of looking into the advertising columns of the newspaper in order to find where their wants can be supplied. This being the fact, it is patent to every sensible advertiser that the place to display his wares is where tuey will be the most likely to be seen and read. In conclu sion, then, the advertiser, in order to re ceive a rich return for his investment, must seek the most reliable medium, which is most emphatically the news paper, and the wise and judicious adver tiser will always reject every other. American Press. Taking Cold. It is unwise to change to cooler clothes except when you first get up in the morn ing.

A Loaf of Bread. In the time of a famine, a rich man al loved twenty of the Doorest children in the town to come to his house, and said to them : " la this basket there is a loaf of bread for each of you. Take it, and come at the same hour every day, till God sends better times.' The children pounced upon the basket, struggled and fought over the bread, because each one wished the largest and best loaf; and then went away without a word of thanks to their friend. But Franceses, a little girl, meanly though neatly dress ed, stood at a distance, and gratefully took the loat that was left in the basket, which was the smallest ; then kissed the good man's hand, and went quietly home. The next day the children were just as naughty and ill-behaved; and this time there was left poor Francesca a loaf that was-hardly half as large as the others. But when she reached home, and her mother cut the bread, there fell out a number of new pieces ot silver, The mother was frightened and said "Take back the money this moment f8V it is certainly in the bread by mis- take." Francesca took it back. But the kind man said : " It is no mistake, my good child, I had the money baked in a small loat in order to reward yon Be always cob tented and yielding as you now are. He who is contented with the smallest loaf, rather than quarrel for the largest, will receive abundant re- ward. How it stands. It is now some twenty years since the great suBpenaion bridge was built over tho .Niagara Kiver, The question of its safety has recently been agitated, and critical investigation has been made. The caps on the towers covering the cables have been removed and the cables found to be as perfect in all respects as ever they were. But most important of all, the anchorage of the cables was thoroughly inspected. The masonry over one of them was removed for about twelve feet, or below where the wires are attached to the anchor chains. A portion of the cable is imbed- ded in water-lime cement. For twenty years this has been there, yet, on remov ing it and rubbing the paint off the wires, the latter were tound as bright and per fect as when placed there ; the cement having preserved the wire and anchor chains intact The examination was made in the presence of competent en gineer who nav4 expressed themselves as above t the directors of the bridge oouipany. Severs Sentence. The American diamend thieves, Davis and Saunders, who. at 8t Petersburg, robbed the Bus sian Empress and three of the Imperial museums in the great city, confessed their erime to the authorities and were sentenced to ten years' transportation to the Ural Mountains. They were kept in the Moscow penitentiary until the 4th of October, when, being clad in the common fur robes of the convict, they were marched out, cnatneu together haud and foot with 300 other wretthed convwtf, and started en route for their cheerless destination. Density of Population in Bengal. The Caloutta correspondent of the Pall Mall OntfUd, In analysing the fig ures of the recent census ot the lower provinces of India, states some astonish ing facts as to the donsity of the papu lation. The total population subject to the jurisdiction of the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, is 00,600,000, distribu ted over an area of 214,000 square miles, which gives the high average of 272 to the square mile ; but the average in the "regulation- nrovinoes" of Bengal, Behar, and Orissa, discarding the outlying pro vinces of Assam, Chota, Nagpore, and wilder tracts, is much higher. I these regulation provinces, with a total area of 120,000 square miles, the population is 08,000,000, giving an average density of 4 SO to the square mile a density, it is stated, exceeding that' of the popula tion of Belgium, which stands highest of any European state, and extending over a tract f country more than ten times as extensive as that kingdom. It may popularize the idea of the density of population in these regulation provinces if we add that, with an area only rather more than half that of Franoe (120,000 square miles to 209,000), they possess about one and three-quarter times the the population of France 58,000,000 in Bengal, & ... to 30,000,000 in Franoe. And even this is not the whole truth as to the density of population. The cor respondent goes on to state: "la the districts more immediately round Calcut ta, and in the more donsely peopled parts of Behar, the ground is still more thick ly occupied. Indeed, in the district of Hoogley, after years of epidemic fever, the density is represented by the almost incredible figure of 1,000 to the square mile. I should have suspected some er ror in the areas, but every district of Bengal has now been surveyed and mark ed with an accuracy which precludes any mistake on this point.-' The singularity of the density of population is all the greater, because it as the density of an agricultural and not of a manufacturing population, and it is impossible not to look at the figures without a recollection of the passages in Mr. Hunter's books, which point but the special danger crea ted for us in India by the very excel lence ot our rule, which abolishes the old checks to population. Lire In India. In India when a youth is too poor to pay any dower and wants a wife, he binds himself to serve the girl's father as Jacob served Laban ; the time varies from eight months to five years, and during that period all intercourse be- tween the two is forbidden. The youth the household drudge, hewer of wood, drawer of water ; he looks after the cattle, or performs any other menial work. When serving his uncle for his cousin, be begins younger and serves longer than if apprenticed to a stranger. The theory is that the uncle will not ex act such hard service rrom his nephew, the tie ot relationship among those peo ple being very binding. hen the time is completed the same ceremonial is gone through, the bride s father paying all expenses. it occasionally happens that the girl declines to marry the youth whom nor parents have selected ; she then has to take matters into her own hands and make a runaway match. As, theoreti cally, it is allowed that she has tho right of selection, the elders of the village en deavor to arrange the business amicably ; but the parents ot the girl are generally obliged to withhold their consent, hav ing promised her to some one else ; so, to avoid feuds, they remain passive. The girl meets her lover and declares her in tention of becoming his wife ; she anoints his head with turmeric, and teuches his feet; he then takes her t his father's house, and marries her from there if his parent b will pay the expenses; if not, he puts on her arms a pair ot bangles, the Gond symbol of a wedding-ring, gives a dinner to the elders of his vil lage, and takes the girl home. Black Silks for Dresses. Black silk costumes have again proved to be the most popular ot season. At various times ladies have declared themselves weary of black dresses, and have adopted the new tints ; but they have invariably returned to black, since nothing else is at once so distinguished and so conve nient. Two-thirds of the latest importa tions consist of black suits, and it is said that Worth's costumes for Parisiennes are almost whollj confined to black and dark green bronze silks. Importers say that as long as ladies want the finest fabric their money can buy, and find that article ta be black silk, lust so long will black remain in fashion ; and modistes assert that the most venerable ladies and the youngest debutantes among their customers spend money more lavishly tor black costumes than tor any other. Hence this elegant dress stilt remains the fashionable uniform for church, vis iting, the theatre, the promenade, and is semi-dress suit for afternoon weddings and receptions. The choicest trimming for such dresses is fine embroidery on the flounces ; elaborate jet ' passementerie with crimped tape fringes, and a quart tity of velvet in the way of facings, vest, waistcoat, and sashe", are next in favor. Lace is less used at this season than in the spring. Very irregular flounces, with a tablier different from the trimming on the back breadths, are most admired. Narrow and wide flounces, some gath ered and others pleated, some plainly edged and others scalloped, appear on the same dress. Two gathered bias ruflles each a finger-length deep, over lapped by a side-pleated flounce of twice thwir width, headed by a bias band and a narrow erect pleating, form a favorite combination ot trimming for a silk dress skirt Statistics, The total census of horses in the United States was 4,330,719 in 1850, 6,210,174 in 1850, and 8,900,000 ia February, 1872. The total valuation is 059,707,010, in which Pennsylvania has 33,003,098 invested m 548,l(jO horses, averaging $97.18. New- York, Texas, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Iowa, only have more than Pennsylvania. The grand average price for the whole coun try is $73.37. To this must be added $121,027,316 invested in 1,276,300 mules, of which Pennsylvania has 24.900, valued at 3,242,229, averaging $130.21. The gross value of the horses and mules of the whole country is $780,735,232, com pared with $321,562,693 in oxen and other cattle ; $329,408,9S3 in milch cows $38,771,197 in sheep, and $138,733,828 in hogs. A Mail Doo. Previous to the year 1760 the mail between Portsmouth, N . H and Wells, Me., for seven years was regu larly carried by a dog. The mail was carefully made up, tied to the animal's neck, and carried safely through, until at last, on one ot bis journeys, tbe faith ful creature was killed by the Indians. The Journal de ParU gives the follow ing figures for the French Army during tbe coming year : iotai enective loroe, 454 170 men. of whom 212.044 are infan- try, 60,014 cavalry, 61.308 artillery, 8,000 I equipages militalres," 9.170 genidar I mes, a&d 14,604 mhoellaneoai. The Darning f Moscow. As Napoleon Bonaparte was marching his army into Moscow on September 15, 1812, the .Russian authorities determined to bura the city rather than to allow it to be occupied bv biui. They according ly distributed combustible material throughout the city, ready to be lighted should his army enter it. His nntrv and attempted occupation of Moscow, and the subsequent burning of the city by the Bussiaus, are matters of history, from which we qvjete the fol lowing : - - - r-. i , . w a r, r. " Un Wednesday, aeptemDcr 10, ibiz, Napolean took u? his headquarters in the Kremlin, and on the same day the fire broke out in the shops ot the Kital Gorod. The night of the 10th was il luminated by the fire of a general con flagration. The explosion of the bal loons of flame which were seen falling from the tops of towers showed the means which were being taken to spread the fire. A vast sea of flame illumina ted the horizon for miles, and announced to the unhappy Muscovites who still lingered near the town that their homes no longer existed. The different quar ters of the town took fire, burned and disappeared all at once. Heaps of cal cined and blackened Btones indicated the spot where houses had stood. The silence of terror was only interrupted by a roaring like that of the waves of a stormy sea ; this was produced by the wind, which, driving with violence tne torrent of flame, hurried afar and wide the destroying element. From time to time whole buildings fell with a crash. Wherever the eye turned, nothing could be seen but smoking ruins or devouring flames. Ever and anon was heard the mournful toll of a bell which sounded like the signal passed between one and another of equal destruction. In spite of the vigilance of the sentries posted at the houses, the fire spread as if it was driven by an invisible power. Although a great part of the town was built of wood, it took many days of general con flagration to consume it. At last in most quarters of the town there were left so few traces of habitations that the streets could hardly bo recognized. Ha inan bodies half burned, and the dead carcasses of horses, :ws and dog i, lay in the midst of the ruins. 3,000 houses, besides a great number of palaces, were reduced to ashes ; scarcely 0,000 build ings were left standing. The private loss by the destruction of houses and their contents, was calculated at not less than 30,000,000 sterKng ($150,000,000), and this was probably under the mark. The first torch which set.Moscow ablaze was said to have been applied by Count Bostopchone, the governor of the city. How to Make Coffee.

A II litre Deu of Koliliers. A letter from Naples in the drentlteti draws an alarming picture of the condi tion of that city and of the surrounding country. "Southern Italy," says the writer, "is a huze den of robbers : not only the mountains and the fields, but the large towns, are full t tuem, A lie higher officials of the towni are now tol erably honest, but their subordinates form a sort of Caraorra, whose sole object is plunder. At the cab-stands ia Xaples there nre persons who extort money un der various pretexts from every one who takes a cab ; in all public eating-nouses and theatres there are swarms of pick pockets who do an excellent business, and are on very friendly terms with the gendarmes and police. Thieves are sta tioned in the squares and markets and in the niostTfrequeuted streets ; and in the hotels they have private relations with the servants, and in the harbor with the custom-house officials. Nearly all the porters at the water-side belong ( to this Camorra, and it seldom happens that twenty per cent, of the luggage which they carry to the custom-house does not disappear." Carmine. Carmine, the most beauti ful of all red colors, is obtained from the cochineal insects, which were originally found nly in Mexico, but are now suc cessfully raised in many other countries. They feed upon the prickly-pear, on which the females fix themselves, and, being wingless, they never move from them. At a certain time in the year they are gathered from the pear by means of a brush, and they are then plunged in hot water and exposed in the sun to dry. AY' hen dried they have the ap pearance of small berries or seeds, beiug of a grayish-purple color, and in this state they form tlie cochineal ot com merce. It takes 70,000 of the dried cochineals to weigh a pound. The prep aration of carmine is a very delicate op eration, requiring great care ana skill. Indian Tkoubi.es. Indian troubles have broken out in a most unexpected quarter Northern California. The Mo docs, who are naturally a warlike race, have taken tbe field, and have massacred manv settlers in the sparsely populated region east of the Cascade Itange, on the boindarv between Oregon and Cali fornia. No explanation is given of the origin of the difficulty except that the Modocs would not reuiaiu in their reser vation. Tke fact is, however, that the white Lave crowded the Indians of that part of the ' country, io that they have I become restive. Thd Latest.

Undoubt edly health is the most importaut ot earthly blessings, and therefore the ner vous anxiety of the sick to ascertain the relative merits of the various medicines in use is not surprising. Within the last two years many thousands of invalids have abandoned the preparations of the pharmocopolist for the famous remedy introduced by Dr. Walker, of California, uader the somewhat eccentric name of Vinegar Bitters. That this new Vege table medicine is " winning golden opin ions of all sorts of people is beyend a doubt. The accounts we hear of its ex traordinary .effects in cases of chronic dyspepsia, rheumatism, liver complaints, malarious fevers, nervous prostrations, and many other distressing diseases, cer taiuly justify the popularity which it has everywhere acquiicd. Dr. Walker claims for his specifio a remedial power over all disorders that do not involve an irrepara ble destruction of bone and fibre, and results so far appear to have justified the claim. In this age of wonders we are not disposed to deny the possibility of any phenomena not directly at va.iianoe with tbe laws of nature, and as it is held by many physiologists that rill maladies proceed from the same generic cause, Wfr see no reason for the incredulity with which some people regard the idea of n Universal Medicine. That Dr. Walker'f famous preparation is destined to be universally approved can scarcely be con sidered doubtful. Cm. A Delightful Si-uprise.
