Utf Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson -was a great sea captain if ever one lived. When, on the 15th of September, 1805, he hoisted the flag on board the Victory, had ar rived off Cadiz on his birthday to take command of the Mediterranean fleet, he meant fighting. There was no suspicion of hesitation in his tactics. The force nnder him consisted of twenty-seven sail of the line and four frigates, which he withdrew from the vicinity of Cadiz to a station sixteen or eighteen leagues to the westward, "in the hope of inducing the enemy to put to sea." These were the days of dash and manhood, and great must have been kelson's exultation when, on the morning of October the 21st, just at daybreak, the combined French and Spanish fleets, consisting of thirty-three sail of the line and seven frigates, were seen ahead to leeward twelve miles. The Admiral lost no time, for before twelve the British fleet, in two lines, was bearing down on the crescent shaped position of the enemy, and then it was that Nelson hoisted the signal, "England expects that every man will do his duty." The only fear was that the enemy might run for refuge, therefore Nelson notified to Collingwood, "I in tend to pass through the van of the ene my's line, to prevent him from getting into Cadiz." There was an affectionate anxiety about the impetuosity and deter mination of the commander, so Captain Blackwood proposed that the Tenter aire should go ahead of the Victory, in case that vessel might draw the principal at tention of the enemy's fire. "Oh! yes, let her go ahead," replied Nelson; but at the same time he had clearly no inten tion of allowing any such thing, for he would not permit an inch of canvas to be taken in, and the Victory continued to lead the column, closely hugged by the Temeraire. It was Collingwood, however, who began the fight, on board, the Royal Sovereign, commanding the lee division, and the feeling of the two brave men at this important moment found utterance almost at the same in stant. "What would Nelson give to be here!" exclaimed Collingwood to Roth eram, and at the same instant, without a spark of jealousy at the enviable posi tion of his friend, Nelson observed, ''See how nobly Collingwood carries his ship into action." But at twenty minutes past noon the Victory was in the thick of the fight. Scarcely a minute after the ship got with in range, seven or eight ships opened a terrible and destructive fire upon her. The Admiral's Secretary, Mr. Scott, was shot dead, and soon the mizzen topmast of the Victory was carried away, and also her wheel, necessitating the process of steering by the relieving tackles below. Yet no hail of fire destroyed the daunt less and dogged courage of Nelson and his sea-dogs. When a splinter from the fore-brace bits passed between Nelson and Hardy, and tore away the buckle from the shoe of the latter, the Admiral only smiled and said, "This is too warm work to last long, Hardy!" Still, warm as it was, the English Admiral was de termined to make it hotter. The Vic tory's sails were hanging in ribbands; she had lost full fifty men in killed and wounded ; but soon it was her turn to be gin. Determined to pass under the stern of the Bncentanre as the only mode of breaking the line, the Victory's helm was put hard aport, and there was scarcely space for her to go clear. Sailing close to the larboard side of the Bucentaure, the Victory poured in such a well-directed and tremendous broadside that the French ship heeled two or three streaks on receiving it. All this time Nelson was pacing the quarter-deck with Hardy, their walk being bonnded aft by the wheel and forward by the companion ladder. The distance was only about twenty-five feet, and it was here, when the Redoubtable brought up that the fatal bullet struck Nelson. He feel on his knees just where Scott had fallen, and said, "They have done for me at last, Hardy; my backbone is shot through." The victory was all but gained when Nelson was compelled to go below. In that dreadful moment he thought of his men, and caused his face and his stars to be covered bv ms handercnief. in order that he might pass unnoticed by the crew. ijonuon Telegraph. Pekpuexity op a Newly Maeried Couple. A rustic bridegroom left his bride on the station platform at Troy, and bought a ticket for Chicago by way of Albany and Susquehanna. When the train was made up the affectionate pair settled themselves in the rear car and began to drink beer and make merry. When the conductor came along the groom handed him the Chicago ticket, whereupon this dialogue ensued: "Con ductor "Where is your other ticket?" Groom "Why, I ain't only got one." Conductor "Well, is this lady with you?" Groom "Why, yes, of course she is." Conductor "Well, where is her ticket?" Groom "Why, Mr. Conduc tor, she is my wife. Don't you know, why we just got married; my wife, don't you see; we don't need but one ticket.' The conductor could not make the be wildered groom understand the rules of the road, and that it would require two tickets to carry them to Chicago, and finally when the train reached Sche nevus the bridal party were put off. They took the next train back to Albany in search of the man who had sold the ticket that was not good for man and wife. A converted brother who does not ex aggerate his forsaken wickedness when relating his experiences. The late Bishop of Exeter was sitting one day at luncheon with his wife and another lady, when the hostess inquired anxiously of her husband if the mutton was to his .liking. "My dear," replied the bishop, with his courteous little bow, "it is like yourself, old and tender." An Ogden paper, in speaking, of a re cent accident at that place, says: "It is feared that the boy's injuries will prove quite fatal." It is hoped that the re porter's account is exaggerated, and that the lad's injuries will ptove only moder ately fatal. Alfonso, I saw this noble youth axd boy-king to-day. There are two conditions that place a country before us in a humiliated shape; one when governed ostensibly by a boy and really by a clicque; the other when presided over by a womanly man and governed by a cabal. Why Spain should be as she is may be found in the character of her rulers. To-day, when I saw Alfonso driving out, I never felt so proud before in being a citizen of the United States. If we were to walk up and down the sunny side of North Charles street during a balmy afternoon and try to engage a heedless girl in a brilliant conversation, made up of ex clamations and grins, he would no more attract attention than any other young man similarly engaged on the glorious Sabbath in that rueful rue. If there is anything manly about His Majesty it comes from his mother. When I first saw him in Paris he was predisposed to lollypops and mixed candy. Subse quently at Addiscombe, in England, he took to small indulge ncie like Ferdi nand VII, who embroidered petticoats, said his prayers backward, and restored the much-talked-of and little-understood "Inquisition." If there ever was a mon arch that looked not an inch like a king, Alfonso is he. I conclude with his com ing bride and queen, both for her choice in a husband, a home, and certainly a rickety throne. They tell me and what better authority than this prothetic "they" can you have? that Alfonso still sighs over the grave of his lost bride, "La Reina Santa," as these people piously call her. Certainly she was a lovable lady and a true Christian woman, who won the affections of these people. If I may accept the whole story about the coming bride.she is equally endowed with her predecessor but is more way ward which in a woman is a great at traction to a commanding man who loves to control the rebellious. There axe preparations going on here for the nuptials, that are intensely interesting, and in some instances peculiarly profane. After an active physical indulgence in calisthenics and a few mental lessons per day, I hope to be able to master the language and laws of society here, and then tell you, good reader, more of Spain the Spaniards, their signs and symbols, their hidalgos and high-jinks. Madrid Gorr. Baltimore Sun. Besieging the Prussian Headsmn, In the Kleine Herald a daily news paper recently started in Berlin by the Prussian railway king, Dr. Stroasberg, is published an interview recently granted to the writer by Krauts, tne state executioner who beheaded Hoede , last summer. While "Monsieur de Berlin" was chatting pleasantly with Ms visitor about the decapitation of the would-be regicide Kraut's first perform ance as a headsman a knock was heard at the door and a footman in a splendid Hvery entered the room with the request that the Scharfrichter would be pleased to speak with him for a moment in the passage. Krauts went out with the lackey, and after a brief interchange of sentences in an undertone was heard to say aloud, 'Tell Her Excellency, the lady Countess, that I am very sorry, but J cannot, dare not do it." Interrogated upon his return by the visitor with respect to the mission of the mysterious man-servant, he Replied with a smile, "Oh! it was only a request from one of my 'sympathizers,' such as reach me several tunes a week. ' You may often see the handsomest equipages in Berlin standing at the corner of the Mulock Strasse. They bring me lady visitors, young and old, pretty and ugly. Yes, yes; many ladies of the highest aris tocracy have called upon me and have insisted upon seeing my wife whon I was not at home." "And what did these ladies want?". "The merest rubbish. Hair cuttings for instance a blood stained pocket-handkerchief, a morsel of bread from the headsman's breakfast table, for one of my gloves." Krauts himself is a fine young fellow, decorated with the Iron Cross for valor in the field.

Now is the- time of the year that the young bride fondly gazes at even fish knives, and a pair of sugar tongs, a napkin-ring and a clock, and sweetly whispers to the wedding guests, that "the other presents are not displayed, owing to the wish of the givers, who hate publicity." rPhila. Bui. The Counte de Paris had a narrow es cape October 19, strange to say, not far from the spot where the Due d'Orleans, his father, was killed by a similar acci dent. The horses of his carriage took fright near the Porte Maillot, startled by the engine of the tramway which goes to Courebevoie. Both horses and carriage were upset, but only the coachman was slightly wounded. The occupants of the vehicle escaped without a shaking. charge as a reward for faithfnl and (-Upper and Professional Classes " pub gallant service. He is married, and the proud father of a fine little boy, and heir apparent to his important office. With a touch of quaint piety he introduced this lad to his visitor's notice as "his successor, please God!" and observed that though he passed an uneasy night before the morning fixed for Hoedel's execution, when he looked into his "client's" impudent, sneering face, he "thanked God for making his business so easy to him!". 'W!m$t HUMOROUS, I lie Comparative Mor.alMy of Rich and Poor. Dr. Drysdale, Senior Physician to the Metropolitan Free Hospital, called atten tion in the Social Science Convention re oently in session at Manchester, England, to the comparative mortality of rich and poor. How came it, he asked, that in Great Britain, in the face of improvements in every direction in the domain of of hy giene, there still remains a death ra e in our cities ranging from thirty down to twenty thousand of the population an nually? If we look to one city, London, for instance, we find that, with all the ad vances recently made in that wonderfully healhy city, the death rate was actually 22.2 per 1000 in 1856. and in 1876 a little higher, or 22.3. Many persons have asked on reading such figures, "What is the use of medical science if it can effect nothing more than this?" The real cause of the non-effect of the -countless hygienic ad vances was -indigence. Viilerme, the French Medical writer on hygiene, found some thirty years ago, that persons over 40, if in easy circumstances, had 4 death rate of only 8.5 per 1000, whilst the mor tality in a similar class among the poor was more than double, or 18.7. He also showed that in Paris, there died, between the years 1817 and 1836, one inhabitant in thirteen in the thirteenth arrondissement chiefly inhabited by the poor, and but one in 63 in the second or rich quarters. The most accurate statistics ever compiled on this subject are from the pen of C. Ansel, Jr.. entitled "Statistics of Families of the Yon cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one. ; A woman who remembers last Sun day's text, but is unable to speak under standing of the trimmings on the bonnet of the lady in the pew next to the front. It is said that an Oakland man's night mare turned out to be the shadow of his wife's foot on the bed-room wall, in stead of an unearthly monster with five horns.

A married woman who- never said: "No wonder girls don't get married nowadays; they axe altogether differ ent from what thev were when I was a girl." lished in 1874. The author collected in formation concerning 48,044 children of the well-to-do classes in England and Wales, including members of the legal clerical and medical professions, as well as of the nobility and gentry. He found from these inquiries.that in the first year of life, only 8.45 per 1000 deaths occur red among the infants of the easy classes in this country, as against 140.49 among the children of the general population. The death rate then, of the children of the comfortable classes in this country being 80 per 1000 in their first year, we found it to be 250 per 1000 in cities like Manchester and Liverpool, and as high as 300 in poorer quarters of our cities, and in Berlin, actually 500. From one totve years of age, 46.84 children of the upper classes die of 1000 born, and as many as 113.69 in the general population. During the remainder of early youth from five to twenty, the difference is not marked; but 65.47 per 1000 deaths occur among the richer classes, as against 74.04 in the general public. Between 20 to 40 there die, among the richer classes, 125 per 1000 and 124 among the general population; and between 40 to 60 there die 147 per thousand among the rich- against 168 among the general population. The gen eral result of this calculation shows that the average age at death is among the r ch in England and Wales, 55 year,whilst it is not probably 35 among the artisan class. So that M. Ansell estimates that in one year- their die in England and Wales under the age of 60, 368,179 person, which figure-should only have been 048 if the population had all been in easy circumstances. Thus some 142,000 deaths annually in England and Wales are due to indigence. Health is very imperfectly se cured in the lower grades even of re spec-table citizenship. The public registers have demonstrated that mortality and disease diminish with every rise in the scale of wealth. Healthy Women. A writer, in urging the necessity for more attention to physical culture, notes as a favorable sign the fact that "the pale and interesting" type of female beauty is fast losing its popularity, and that men of position and influence are declaring for the healthy standard of womanly beauty, such as was ever recog nized by Greece and Rome, This is cer tainly an important and happy change in public taste, and already the effects of it are to be detected in an improved con dition of feminine health; for it will hardly be denied that on an average the women of to-day are physically superior to what they were a few years ago when tight-lacing and similar destroying cus toms prevailed. Young women take more exercise than they formerly did. They ride and walk more, and are in the open air. They have not the insane dread of the sun's rays which they once had. But there is much room for im provement yet. Many homes are still presided over by invalid mothers and wives, who furnish a constant spectacle of sadness and misery to their families and friends, and are a subject of un limited expense to their husbauds. In such homes the greatest of all blessings that could be hoped for would be the health of the mistress restored; but too often it is the one blessing that never ames. American homes, more than any other, perhaps, in the world, have been sad dened by sickly women. If this shall be so no longer, it will, be a great blessing to the nation. And .the remedy is simple. American men are as strong and healthy as those of other nations; there is no good reason why American Avomen should not be. All that is needed is a proper attention to dress and exercise. Let women dress, as men do, so that then bodies shall not be squeezed and pressed together, but have free room for motion, and let them get nnt into the air and sunshine, as men do, and exercise their bodies, and the race of American women will not become extinct, as at once threatened to do. Oh the contrary, it will be improved, built m, and beauti fied, and a time will shortly come when a healthy man will ' not have-fc hunt a whole country over to find a healthy wife. We are on the right track now; all that is needed is to go ahead, and the results will soon be manifested. Women will die to be in fashion ; therefore let the fashion of female beauty lie vigor and strength, and all the ladies in the land will be swinging dumb-bells, prac tising archery, riding on horseback, and walking for a wager, but they will be in style. Blushing and Turning Pale. Blushing is occasioned by sudden dilation of the small blood-vessels, which: form a fine network beneath the skin, and when they admit an increased volume oi red blood cause the surface t appear suffused with color. Blanch 'ng is the opposite state, in which the vt .sels con tract and squeeze out their blood, so that the skin is seen out of its bloodless hue. The change effected in the size of the vessels is brought about by an in stantaneous action of the nervous system. This action may be induced by a thought or unconsciously by the oper ations of imprQsuons producing the phenomenon habitually. In a word blushing may become a habit, and is then beyond the control of the will, ex cept in so far as the will can generally, if . not always", conquer any habit. It is al most always useless, and certainly seldom worth while to strive to cure a habit of this class directly. The most promising course is to try to establish a new habit which will destroy the one it has desired to remedy. For example, if blushing is, as generally happens, associated with self consciousness, we must establish the sway of the will over that part of the nervous system which controls the size of the vessels by calling up a feeling op posed to self consciousness.
