An EventM Career.
Among the communist prisoners re
ccully tried at. Versailles was a lad
named Broidte, a pork hutcher, who at
the outlireuk of the corn in una I insur
rection, was taken, much iiguitiat his
wrll, to serve iu the t'eilcr.il buttallion
of nutionnl guards ut Nuellv. He of
I'cti'led liia coiurailes hy declining to he
made caplaii., and was accordingly
tried by court martial und sentenced
to be snot. executioners, however,
determined to hung him instead, and
launched him fr uu a second floor win
dow, lie contrived to save himself
troni total strangulation hy clinging
to the wall until cut down hy some
men of another hattallion, who disap
proved of the o ii in i I i t ary mode of ex
ecution adopted, and with whom he
remained for some days. At the tnd
of that time he attempted to escape,
but wits so closely pursued that he
jumped into the Seine, and B'aui to
the hank occupied hy tlio Versailles
troops, who lius it:il,y received him
with a hailstorm of hulls, one of which
struck him iu the leg. Itcinp taken
before a court martial of officers of the
regular army, his protestations of iu.
no ,'ciil'O were disbelieved, and he was
condemned for the second time to he
shot. The execiitiuiiers of 1. Theirs,
however, did not do their work any
better I bull those of the commune, f.r
though duly tlmt and left for dead,
liroclie escaped with two flesh wounds
and a broken urni. Ho was hidden
and nursed by an inhabitant ' l'u
leaux, where he hud been shot, and
when the coininu'je fell was ugan ar
rested and taken to Versailles, whero
ho appears to have passed the lust
e.ght months iu prison. Ileing tried a
few days upi fur the third time, the un
lucky and yet lucky pork butcher was
Ut nine acquitted.

Our Drunken Brioegroom.
BV fKESIDKNT TITTLE.
We were riding over the prairies on
that finest of railways, the "C, 1J. A:
il." as the people there call the "Uhica
go, Burlington and Quincy." We
were on the I'aciftc Express, and rode
smoothly nnd swilily. lhe prairies
were in their most attractive diefs,
People talk about the beauty of the
wild prairies, hut I once saw these vety
ones when they were wild, but ho'.v in
ferior to the same acres covered with
com and meadows, the greenness of
I which is in hue contrast with yellow
wheat nnd oat fields visible iu every
(direction! It was a delightful seeue,
and we I tit satisued with it.
Our train contained the usual assort
ment of people, rough und gentle, old
nnd young, intelligent and not so very
intelligent. But fur one fact ' these
common-place statements would not
have been made. Two seats forward
of us were two young people and a
glance showed that they were "the in
evitable newly inarmed couple'Vhich,
as often said, never fails to udorn eve
ry train. The wile seemed too young
for such a position, seventeen years
old, or at most eighteen. .She was
dressed very neatly, and her lieu ring
was becoming. You felt at once thut
such an one must have been an impor
tant member ot her home, the very
one for her father to fondle and u
brother to bo proud of. To such a
place the young girl can find only one
superior, her own home where shall
preside a husband worthy of her. For
such a home she had so I thought as
we rode along given up that iu which
she had dwell since she was burn.
What a venture she runs who makes
such au exchange 1
The young husband was asleep in
. the scan before her, and I noticed that
she had to exhibit the tickets. He
had them in his pocket, but she bad
to get them. This was a suspicious
circumstance. 1 lis face was red, ami
when ho awoke, his eyes heavy so J
hi'ped with sleep. And yet I feared
the hope was not well founded. The
poor girl's face wore an expression of
anxiety and mortification. It is line
her husband was well dressed, ami
that be had op his left little finger a
, plain gold ring which niatbed with a
similar one on her left fore finger.
But it seemed to me very plain that
the fact ot marriage, the good clothes
and the plain rings did not make the
young husband appear t any greater
advantage, nor his young wife to up
peur any less anxious. Meanwhile our
magnificent train p.d swiftly through
those acres.
After a while the young man got up,
took from the lunch basket something
and in spile of her gentle appeal weni
into the forward car. I stippoi-c it was
a flask that lie took, but whatever it
was it did nothing tn make the wife
cheerful, tr bis face less red. Iu a lit
tie while ho was back and scted will)
his wife. It was (ti'.rerig to see the
two, he "drunk as u lord," she think
ing I guess of what she had Mi
aud what a fate must he in store for
her. He was inaiiuliu, silly, and un
controllable. Could she only have put
him to sleep again, and so cover up
the disgrace, she had felt less satisfied,
but iu his own opinion ho was
smart, and grand, a husband to be
proud of! and his wife ought to be
proud of him 1 His own wide mouth
laughter seemed to hiinell amiable,
aud his foolish im oherences a'su. Ni W
he ate, and now he laughed, now he
reposed on her shoulder, und thence
staggered tn the water.tauk for a drink,
and there was no concealing it. The
young girl, his wife, just on her way
to hi home, on the first day met this
f ioi, that her husband loved drink so
well that even the fascinations of the
young bride whom he had taken t
the altar, could not res-train his apie
tite. Aud that was what we saw that
morn.ngas we rode in the "Pacific
Expess' on the "C. B. & Q. It. U ,"
that J uly morning when the prairies
of Illinois utre in their most gorgeous
apparel. Aud I wondered what would
he the feelings of the father mid broth
er of the bride could they see what we
did.
I do not flatter myself that these
words will wain any trusting girl not
to truitl a lover who tipples, but I feel
better for describing this new phase of
the meanness of a habit (hat has
blighted so much that is lovely and ol
good if pott. Approach it from whi h
.my you will, by a scaiiidd or a bridal
chamber, by a bier or a marriage altar,
ami the habit is iu ull cases mean,
uilh no compensation. A liltle fellow
not far from me blacked hoots for peo
ple iu the street to get money to pay
his mother's rent, aud the father stole
lliut ni.incy a:id w'uh it made himself
instantly drunk. In the same place a
woman supported her family by daily
work at tlii) itash tub and ironinjj ta
bic. I.i this way hc obtained bread
even fur a luzy luishaud. One day tl.t ir
little girl died, aud the mother, wlf i
thought she could, iu such a case, and
fir such a piii'po.-e jiet a I'cctnt c. tli'.l
for the fcwe t child they had lost, tho
man, entrusted with suth an In .ly cr
laud, spent that mouey iu a drunkard's
debauch at a low faloa with other
drunkards. And now I see thin young
man drunk, not six hours since ho
took his fair young girl from her fath
er's houvi to the marriage altar.
What a habit it isl Jiosion Conors-

Repartees cf Mr. Stevens.
lie was always ready, and his satire
was sharper than bayonets. The peo
ple of Lancaster never tire of repeat
ing his sayings, lie tried a case he
fore u judge not celebrated tor his
greM wisdom. The jndge gave a ruling
Hint disgusted Mr. Stephens, as his
face clearly indictted. "Does the
court understand lhe counsel to ex pre
contempt for its ruling?" said the
judge. "No, may it please your honor,
I was trying to suppress contempt."
When the rebels burnt his iron fuut.
dri and property at Gettysburg
wli'ch Ihey did with great relish Mr.
Stevens remarked: "Had Lee burned
up my liabilities ut lhe same time, I
would have been much obliged to him.''
When Kite, of South Carolina, at
tacked Mr. Stevens, and told about a
pious deacon he had on his plantation,
Mr. Stevens asked what the price of
deacons was iu bis district, and how
much more a negro would bring for
being a deacon. A Lutheran minis
ter, of Lancaster, left (he pulpit and
been mo a democratic politician. Ho
met Mr. Stevens soon after, aud in
quiring about his health, received as
au answer: "lam very well; I take
cine of my system aud above' all
things keep my conscience pure. I
suppose you have heard that I have
abandoned politics and am studying
for the ministry." In his laslsickuess
the doctor said to him one day : "Mr.
Stevens, I think your appearance is
better to-day." "It is not my appear
mice that troubles me," was the reply,
"but my disappearance." Springjield

X distinguished German scholar,
llerr Kelb, in a recently published
work, considers that he has fixed the
true date of the Ci ucifixioii. He shows
that there wits a total eclipse of t ie
moon cuncomituut with, the canlniiHko
which occurred when Julius Caar
was assassinated, on the lot h of March,
B. C 41. He had also calculated tho
Jewish calendar to AD-oJ, and the
result of his researches confirms the
fact recorded by the Evangelists of
the wonderful physical events that ac
companied the Crucifixion. His as
tronomical calculations also show thut
on the tith day of April, A. D. 31,
there was a total eclipse of the sun,
accompanied, in all probability, by
the earthquake spoken of in Mat hew.
This mode of reckoning is verified by
another calculation, made by calculat
ing backward from the gieit total
eclipse of April, li)18. which also gives
April Gib us the date of the new moon,
A. D. 31. As the Vemul equinox of
lhe year fell mi March 25, and the
Jews at their feast of the passover on
the following new moon, it is clour
that April (iih was indentiiied with
Nisati 14 of the Jewish calendar, which
moreover, was on Friday, lhe day of
preparation for the Sabbath, and this
agrees with the Hebrew Talmud, so
thut astronomy, archu?oloy, tradition
al and Biblical history seem to unite
in fixing the date of the Crucifixion
at April 6, A. D. 31.
Washington B igadiers.
During the early months of tho
warlike year of lb(S3 the Senate was
blessed with a rare imlependen' Com
mittee on Military Affairs. Two of
them were Pacific we mean from that
coast Latham, of California, and
Nesmith, of Oregon. Much presure
was brought on Lincoln to appoint
brigadiers. Much delay und reflection
were had. "Old Nez," as Senator
Nesmith was called, lost his temper on
I lint question. During a heated de
bate he attacked the iuelliciency and
cowardice of a class of brigadiers who
always congregated about the hotels
iu Washington uben there was immi
nent danger of a battle at tho front.
"Senators!" said he, "go down to Wil
lard's Hotel! observe the fluctua
tions of our national conflict ! If a bat
tle is near, the hrigad:ers are afar off:
they sniitr it at a safe distance. I pass
ed Willard's last night at dusk. Au
unruly dog was besieged by unruly
colored boot-blacks. Stones" ' were
thrown at the dog, and sixteen briga
diers lay wounded on the gory pave;
and it traVf a good night for briga
