Among tbo many astonishing feat ures of tho rogue of tbo honr foi wheeling is tbo hold which it ban ee enred upon public men, not only in the Old World, but also in tbo United States. Grcot attention is being drawn te tho unparalleled influx of foreign capi tal into I J ii f si. i during tho last two year, which in still on tho increase. It has been calculated that within a very nhort timo thirty-one new indus trial undertaking havo been started in Russia by tho l'.clgians alone, with a capital of 800,000,00'). Tbo appointment of Princess ITenry of ISutteoberg to tbo Governorship ol tholsloof Wibt illustrates the familiar truth that prccedout enn bo found for anything unusual in England if one only goes back fur enough. Tbo be ntowal of this oflleo npon a woman is exceptional, but not unprecedented. During tho reign of Edward III. the widow of tho Lord of Wight succeeded him in tho Governorship when he fell nt Agincourt, and two other precedents have been bunted up. . An important discovery has recently been made in Madagascar, which will have tho effect of considerably increas ing tbo value of that island for France. (Sold has been discovered between Tumutuvo nnd Autanunnrivo, where tho conformation of tho country is very similar to that of tho Hand. Al ready twenty-eight prospectors have left the Transvaal for Tamatave. Tho French, however, are plnciug overy possible obstacle in the way ol allowing foreign prospectors to com mence digging. Tho Atlanta Constitution remarks: Tbough it may be gratifying to our National pride to account for the yearly number of suicides on the prin ciple that intelligence begets self an,, e Cunt epidemics of suicide iuuic . j u healthy tone of civilization, it is, nevertheless, a matter of pro found sorrow that uo many are driven by the stress of circumstances to such extremes of desperation. It is also to be hoped that if civilization has pro duced this mania tint civilization will lihowiso suggest a remedy.

A few weeks ago n paragraph appeared in several of the London papers pivinyj un account ' ti accident that bad occurred in Sloatio street. A woman riding upon h bicycle had, according to this, cumu into collision with an omnibus and "tho lady lost her hel l." At once ttio report became current that a woman had been decapitated in Sloaue street, and tho following week several of tho pupers declared that terrible uccidents had recently occurred, but that tho bicycle manufacturers bad bribed the coroners to suppress the reports of the inquests! Tho records of tho public schools of New York City show that tho attend ance of the Hebrew children is more regular than tho attendance oi the children of any other class, and that their standard of scholarship is higher. No sacrifice is considered toj great by the Hebrew father and mother to keep their children tit school u long u possible. A Hebrew who cannot read nud write hia owu 'auguago at least is the exception. An ciiucitional restric tion on education would have no up preciublo effect lu excluding Russian Ilebrcws. The Hebrews are a temper ate people, and the saloon is not likely s latrim a n vi a I im, in 4 Vwi i camiaI enormous quantities ot tea ana conoe. Hebrew immigration is free from the objection so commonly urged against immigration in general, that it in creases crime and pauperism. The Hebrew quarter in New York, although more densely populated than any other tenoment house district, it rarely the scene of serious brawls or disturbances.

MILLYS MISTAKE LOWLY along tho qniet country road, just as the euu was sinking, enme Milly Clare and Mr. Anncsley from their oven iug ride. The tall white chimneys of Milly's house were just gleaming into sight above tho distant trees, and Mr. Anncsley, see ing them, had said ! "Let us lengthen out the few min utes that remain to us, Milly the evening is so tine t The sound of horse's feet, rapidly approaching them from the point they were seeking, caused both to look up in that direction. A gentleman, inonutcil upon a gray noise, came galloping down tho road. I'ercciving them, bo slightly moderated his pace, "It is Captain Dudley, " said Milly. "Yes," said Mr, Anuesley, thought folly, "I seo it is. He has been up at the honso probably. Captain Dullcy was tbo sou of neighbor of Milly fattier, a young, handsome nnd somewhat foppish per eon, whom Milly did not at all admire, but who nevertheless admired her sin cerely, and who had been of luto somewhat freiucnt visitor at the house. As the parties approached each other, Mr. Anncsley, whom bis neigh bor's rivalry did not trouble, bowed quietly to the young man; a piece of courtesy which Captain Dudley re ceived with a silent nud ceremonious inclination of tho bead, followed by much lower oue, marked by an air of deferential nud admiring gallantry, to Miss Clnru, while ho gradually drew bis borso up ulmost to a dead stop, Millv, on her part, merely salutei him good-naturedly, nnd kept on be side Mr. Anncsley ; and both shortly forgot him in their conversation with each other. Tho hour they had passod together seemed hardly half that time, as Miss Clare a oompuuion lifted her from her horse, at door, o" reaching h home. Ho -." t'ep'Tsiile, that he had taken, wuiiO tuey ascei tho broad llight of stono steps to gether. "Milly," he said in n low voice, 'this ha not been the least delightful of tho many buppy rides we have taken together. Will you promise me cuo us pleasant to-morrow?" His voice had tone, his eloquent, deep blue eyes, seeking hers, a glance ot tenderness, that thrilled her heart with delicious emotion. "If you care for it, Mr. Annesley," sho sai'l, whilo her heart beat fust and tiimultuously, and her voice, lower than his owu, slightly trembled. "I must be gone, Milly, now," ho said, standing beside her at tho wiu tlow ; "I must bo gone now. Hut to morrow" ho held out his hand "to morrow I shall seek you again; mid wo shall huve our evening ride to gether." Milly laid her hand timidly in his, with downcast eyes, nnd replied: "Yes, Mr. Anncsley." "Good evening, then." "Good evening," the answered, with a smile. Slio returned to tho parlor, r.nd sinking into a deep armchair, with the hcavv lolJsof her habit stilt trailing about her, lapsed into thought h ippy , thought for a half smile was uu her lips, ami htr cheek still Unshed softly, I nud her biovtu eyes wore a pleasant I light. Hut she roused herself presently, 1 nnd breaking from her reverie, rose i from her seat, with a look of reruern 1 brauco crossing her fa-e, and tho ; smilo gradually dying away, blended with a half look of curiosity, halt ol unuoyauca "That letter John gave me just now I vender what can be in it!" she said to herself. And going to a small table beside tho wiudow at which sho had lately stood, s'uo took up . letter lying there. It contained an offer of tho heart nud baud of the very elegant nnd ex cessively supcrtluo Captain Dudley. Milly's lip slightly curled, with a mingled ridicule , and impatience. Twistioi? tho note heedlessly in her up stairs to her own apartment With her eyes still tixed on the note, long after tho last word was read, Milly beoame lost in her old reverie. Gradually her band sunk upon her lap the paper, unnoticed, nucared for, fell ou the floor. The clash of the garden gate, opening and closing, was the only thing that roused her, at least. She heard her father's step below -heard him going I from room to room, and finally call I ing. "Milly, my darling, where are you?" Kising with a light, halt-happy, half-regretful sigh, ho left her room and went down staira to meet her father. The great dock in the hall truck 9, m she passed through and reached the library, where aha found blm. So late, father 1" she said, ant- prised. "I did not think it Where have too been all tnis time? "Where have you been, Milly? re torted her father, laughingly, "that yon 'did not think if so late as 9 o'clock 7" 1? Oh, I hare boon in dream land," she said, smiling. And I well, wait a moment: sha'n't we have lights, Milly? Here comes John. "No, never mind the lights John, we don't want them yet this moon light is plcasanter." Mho sat down npon a loungo, witn her nrra resting npon the study-table, near the arm-chair whioh her father had a'snracd. Well, where have you been, father?" Talking with ft friend of yours, whom I met bv chance. Well, it is somebody vou are pretty well no qnainted with. lint do yon tuinK ol his having proposed for you, Millyr Now yon know who it is, don't yon? I met him just now, when he opened the subject to me. He leaned back in his chair, laugh inz naiotlv and eoftlv rubbing his hands. Now Millr knew. Ho had enconn tcred Captain Dudley, or rather Cap sain Dudley had sought him. Bhe had prepared herself to tell her father of the gentleman's proposal, but he knew of it already, it seemed. The captain appeared to be anxious to make sure work of it. "3o he has spoken to you. father?" "To bo sure. You sneni to take it rather quietly, Millv. Hut so, in fact, did I. Indeed, I don't know that it should bo n matter of surprise 1 own I havo been expecting it tor some time. and you, I suppote, Milly but I'll spare your blushes, my dear, and only ask you what you have to say about it?" "Well, I don't think of marrying at present, sir, answered Miss Clare, Mr. Clare regarded her with mingled astonishment, severity and coldness. "According to your manner of re ceiving hie proposal," ho said, "I bhonld say that I have most complete ly misconstrued your actions. And it is yonr fault. Can it be possible that you havo been coquetting with this young man merely co (netting with him nil this time? Aud after ruis ing bis hones, his expectations" "Sir allow me " interrupted Mil ly, with respect, yet with dignity while she felt hercheek growing warm "I am utterly uuawaro of having ever raised these hopes these expectations of winch vou speak. If ho enter tains them t'uy are quite groundless." Her father rose irom hn chair, slightly waving his baud, as if to end the discussion. "I confess that I have not quito nn derstood vou of late, then," ho said, And now his voice had in it less of so verity than acute disappointment of sorrow it was more siibiued than be Vnvu ... ,j'o quick rash inu rsto .uiuy s eyes. "IudeeJ, indeed you have not," sho said earnestly, tremulously; "but I did not thiuk you cured for him so very much, father." "So matter; no matter, now, Mil ly," ho said. "Wo will not say any more about this aiTuir to-night. To morrow morning bo will coiuo over, aud then you can see him und tell him what you think. At present it is nearly timo to retire. Wo will havo lights now." Milly repressed her tears with diffi culty. Sho trembled ns sho gave her father her good-night kiss that even ing. Ho saw how her drooping eye lashes glistened with those tears, how her cheek wi3 Hushed and hot, an t despite what bad passed, ho could not help embracing her with all bis accustomed alFectiouato tenderness. Hisglauce followed Lir anxiously as sho passed iu bileuco from tho room. Sh ikiug his head sorrowf ally he turned away. When she met her father at break fast she fouud him affectionate nud kiuilly as usual, but serious aud dis posed to silcuce. The last night's trouble evidently weighod heavily upou ins mind. 1 uis caused her the deepest pain. Sho longed to open tho subject then and there, again, to as sure him a thousand times o( the in nocence of wrong iutcutious; but sho restrained herself. "Hy-and-by," sho said to herself, "will bo better. If Captain Dudley asserts that I Lave encouraged him, I will lay my past conduct before them both compel them to examiue it fair lyand then if they can, either of them, point out a single instance in which I huve sought to encourage bis attentions, I will acknowledge that I have been wrong in doing so." The morning repast was conducted in qniet. Mr. Clare, almost from its begiuuing to its close, was engaged in bin own reflections. Wbon it was concluded he repaired to the library alone. And Milly went up stairs to her own room. Hut ten minutes had scarcely passed when word was brought her that her father requested her to corao down into the parlor. Instantly obeying thin summons, sho left her apartment and descended to the hall below, where she met her father, who was at ttut moment leaving the par lor. "Milly," he said, "Mr. Annesley has come. He awaits you." And passing on, he re-entered the library. With pulses slightly quiokened.Miss Clare opened the door and entered, beholding Mr. Annesley, as she did so, standing at a distant window, looking out upon the lawn. He turned toward her. Wondering, she saw that his countenance was pale, serious, dis turbed. But he advanoed, holding out bis hands to her and saying only, in a voice of sadness: "Milly I "Mr. Anuesley I" ane uttered, earn estly, with a sudden fear, all unde fined, overshadowing ber iweet face, as she met him. "Mr. Annesley,' yon are grave, Borrow! nl I What" She hesitated, questioning him only with her eyes. 'Grave, sorrowful I" be echoed, in accents of pain. "Is it, then, a marvel that I shonld be thus, learning aa I do for the first time that I have no place in yonr heart? Yoa could not have known how I love yon, Milly, or yon wonld know how deep, how bitter toy disappointment is." ' His love I The sweet words eem n thrill of delicious emotion quivering through her whole frame; the soft. bashful color rose and wavered ntrnljy in her cheek, beneath his sad, loving, passionate glance. Hut the timid, (altering, yet eloqnent answer in her dark eyes was blended with a search ing, troubled, inquiring look. "He had no placo in her heart I ror a moment thoir eyes met, then a strange light gradually dawned npon her mind yet, could it be? Half bowildersd, she put her hand to her brow. "I do not think l understand yon. sho said, falteringly. There wo n brief silence, while bo regarded her with a strangely per plexed air. "1 on do not understand me, .uui j he said, at length. "Is it n dream. then, that your father woe with me a moment since, telling me that, after all, my hopes were groundless that von regarded me indifferently that vou rejected the love I have so lonr, so tenderly cherished for yon? Did ho not sir that you would not wd me, Milly?" "You, Mr. Annesley?" She trem bled and blushed, uttering the words with h faint tone of astonishment. "Will you come wilh mo to my father a moment? nno said. Ana wiiu thousand tumultuous, contradictory thoughts nnd emotions in the breast of each, they sought tho library to- aether. Mr. Clare, seated at a table, looked up, pale nnd surprised. Coloring more deeply than ever, MillJ laid her hand upon bis nrm. "Fther," sho said, in n low tone, "was it was it Mr. Annesley of whom you were spenkin? last night?'' . "Was it Annesley? lcsl' be an swered, with n glance of surprise and inquiry, "Then" Milly slowly drew from her pocket tbo note she bad received the evening before "then I have mode ft mistake," who said, faltering- lv. "Captain Dudley left this noto for mo only a littlo whilo beforo you came. 1 thought you alluded to him, instead of Her trouble nnd confusion in creased. Unablo to finish, sho turned her bend away. Mr. Clare, glancing quickly over tho contents of tbo mis sive, hud comprehended all, at once. With ft smile, ho rose from his chair. "Milly, Annesley I" he exclaimed, in n well pleased voico ; "it seems there has been ft mistake." And so, indeed, there had. And T.iuly learned as a certainty now, what nntil a moment beforo sho had not Sven' suspected -nhat'I nesley. who. on leayoii oue evening, had met her father iu the village, aud, requesting a few mo ments' conversation with his old friend, had sought permission to offer himself to bis daughter not Captain Dudley, ns sho had thought. ".So it was Captain Dudley you ro- fusod. Milly not Mr. Annesley?" he said, softly. "What will you say to me?" I dare say you can guess wbnt sho said, reader; we all know pretty well that tho answer was detrimental to tho interests of Captain Dudley, as ha found when bo cnlled tbnt morning ou Miss Clare, nud wus, much to his as tonishment, refused. Midinmiiipibiii Creed. Mobnuimednns divide themselves in to two principal sects ShiaU nnd Sunni tho Persians representing tho bulk of tbo former, the Turks of the latter. Tho chief points ou which they diJer are the condition of the soul after death and tho succession of Caliphs, says Hlackwood'a Magazine. "Iho Suum belief is that there is one immortal Hod, whose works tire without beginning or end, nnd tbnt be will bo visible to tho souls of the blessed ; whilo tho Shiahs deny the immortality of tho soul, aud maintain that tho co-existent principles of Zo roaster will ever contend for the mas tery." With regard to the Prophets successors, tbo hunui claim that the lawful successor of Mohammed wus Abu Hekr, and after him Omur, Osman and Ali (uephew and eon-in-law of Mo hammed) ; the Shiab, however, reject the first threo and hold that All was the only legitimate successor. Shiahs pray but threo times a day, and enjoiu pilgrimages to Nejef, Ker beta, Kaziuittio, Meshed (Persia), Sa mara and hum, ns well as to Mecoa aud Medina. Sunnis mako pilgrimages ouly to the two latter cities, and pray five times a day. From this it can be readily understood tbut the circum stances of tho Turks being in posses sion of the shrines of Nejef (Meshed Ali), Kazimain, and Kerbela is most displeasing to devout Shiahs.

Sometimes there are two rows, one behind the other. There are always distinot leaders, but these very soon tire, and, by careful watoh ing with a glass, one may seo the lead ers drop baok and others take their places. It has been suggested that this arrangement is on the principle of a ticket oflioo window, and that all of the ganders successively take ths leadership.
