Although about 150,000 of these safes are now in use, and hundreds have been tested by soma of the most disastrous conflagrations in the country, there is not a single instance on record wherein one of them ever failed to preserve its contents perfectly.

After preliminaries that threatened to be endless, the public part of the trial began on Wednesday, February 21, 1431, st eight in the morning, in the great chapel of the chateau. The Bishop of Beauvais presided, and of the 0 ecclesi astics summoned, 44 were present Three authorized reporters were in their places, and there were some other clerks. concealed by a curtain, who took notes f A T . ? 1 . TT , m iur tnts special use oi tne .angiisn re gent. There was a crowd of spectators, "a great tumult" in the chapel, and very little order in the proceedings. At a time when Lords took their dogs and hawks into church with them, and mer cnants made tneir bargains in tbe naves of cathedrals, we need not look for a scrupulous decorum in a court convened to try a girl for the crime of being "ve hemently suspected of heresy." That was the charge "Vebementment sus pecte dneresie. And such a grand tu mult was there in tbe chapel that day that the subsequent sessions were held in a smaller hall of the castle The prisoner was brought in, freed from her chains, and was allowed to sit. No one of the many pens employed in re cording the events of this day has given us any bint as to her appearance. We have indeed the numeration of the arti cles of her man's attire, which was made such a heinous charge against her: "The hair cut round like that of young men shirt, breeches, double with 20 points reaching to the knee, hat covering only the top of the head, boots and gaiters, with spurs, sword, daggers, cuirass lance and other arms carried by sol diers." This was her equipment for the beld. she still wore man s dress, and doubtless her person showed the effects of nine months' imprisonment and three months of chains and fetters The presiding Bishop told her to place her hands upon the gospel and swear to answer truly the questions that would be proposed to her. An English Tourist. "I don't know," said she, "upon what you wish to question me. .Perhaps you will ask me things which I ought not to tell you." "Swear," rejoined the Bishop, "to tell the truth upon whatever may be asked of you concerning the faith and facts with in your knowledge." "As to my father and mother," she said, "and what I did after setting out for France, I will swear willingly, but the revelations which have come to me from God, to no one have I related or revealed them, except alone to Charles, my King; and I shall not reveal them to you though you cut off my head , be cause I have receivee them by vision and by secret communication, with injunc tion not to reveal them. Hot ore eight days have passed I shall know if I am to reveal them to you. The Bishop urged her again and again to take the oath without conditions. She refused, and they were at length obliged to yield the point, and accpet a limited oath. Upon her knees, with both hands placed upon a missal, she swore to an swer truly whatever might be asked of her, so far as she could, concerning the common faith of Christians, but no more. Being then questioned concerning her name and early life, she answered thus "In my own country I was called Jeanne tte; since I have been in France I have been called Jeanne. As to my sur name, I know nothing. I was born at the village of Domremy, which makes one with the village of Qreux. My father is named Jacques d'Arc: my mother Ysabelle. I was baptized in tbe church of Domremy. One of my god mothers was named Agnes, another Jeanne, a third Sibylle. One of my god fathers was Jean Lingue, another Jean Varrey. I had several godmothers, as 1 have heard my mother say. I was bap tized, I believe, by Messire Jean Alt net 1 think he is still uving. 1 thinir. x am about 19 years of age. From my mother x learned my Pater, my Ave Marie and my Credo. I learned from my mother all that I believe. Say your Pater," said the presiding Bishop. "Hear me in confession, and 1 will say it for you willingly." Several times she was asked to say the Lord's prayer, but she replied: ' "Mo, 1 wiU not say my .Pater for you unless you hear me in confession." We will willingly give you, said the Bishop, "one or two notable men who speak French, will you say your Pater to them?" I shall not say it," was her reply, "unless in confession." As the session was about to close, the Bishop forbade her to leave the prison which had been assigned her in the cas tle, under pain of being pronounced guilty of heresy, the crime charged. "I do not accept such an injunction, she replied. "If ever I escape no one shall be able to reproach me with having broken my faith, as I have not given my word to any person whatever." She continued to speak in language not recorded, complaining that they had bound her with chains and shackles. Ton tried several times." said the Bishop, "to escape from the prison where you were detained, and it was to keep you more surely that you were or dered to be put in irons. "It is true, was her reply, "l wished to get away, and I wish it still. Is that not a thing allowed to every prisonerr She was then removed to her chamber, and the Court broke up. The next morning at eight in the robing-room of the chateau a large apartment near tbe great drawing-room the Court again convened, forty-seven dignitaries of the Church being assembled. Again she sat in the presence of this convoca tion of trained men, alone, without ad vocate, counsel or attorney. She under stood the issue between herself and them. Te managers of the trial meant to make France believe that this girl was - i v m via st ; an emisary oi tne devu, ana was sne felt compelled to fall back upon ber claim to be the chosen of u-ott, and to insist upon this with painful repetition. We must bear in mind that she was ab solutely severed from all active and ef ficient human sympathy. It was a eon test between one poor ignorant girl and the managers of the Court, paid and backed by the power that governed all England and half France, with the stake as the certain consequence to ner ox an erroneous line of defense. In the trial she was the only witness examined. Mr. Marshall went from New York to Chicago, picking up statistics all along tne road witn great industry, and repro ducing them with what some readers may consider an excess of care. It is difficult, however, Tor any man to go to Chicago and not quote statistics. The hurry and bustle which characterize the people everywhere and in everything sirucK me autnor, especially at the din ner tables of hotels, and he quotes a newspaper account of a man who "met his death by swallowing a huge piece of ucci, which biuck in nis tnroat and killed him in less than three minutes." To get through everything quickly is no doubt the aim of most Americans, and we recollect an odd instance of it in an account which a dutiful son once gave of a pious omoe he had fulfilled for his father. "Father died." he wrote, "at 11 o'clock a. m. I had his body embalmed. funeral services at the house, and was in the cars, homeward bound, before & o'clook p. m. with the body." It cannot be denied that this was makinar verv gooa time. Another thing which at tractod the author's attention was the way in which jesting is occasionally mingieu even witn matters of business At Oreen River a station about 846 miles from Omaha he was amused with a placard stuck up in the dining room at tne notei, in wnicn tne proprie tor set forth the manifold advantages of nis nouse. A discreet waiter," it was stated, "who was never known even to tell the time of dey, has been employed to carry milk punches and hot toddies to ladies rooms in the evening." The guests were also apprised that they would find a "sewing machine, a grand piano, a clergyman, and all other modern con veniences." The queer words which Mr Marshall saw in advertisements and other public notices seem often to have surprised him. For better specimens of these genmne "Americanisms, as dis tinguished from the old English local words, wrongly so called, the author should have carefully searched the minor newspapers of the West. In such a paper we once read that a distinguished citizen had commissioned a sculptor to bust" him; in another that that an arsoner bad been arrested, in another that certain house had been "burgled" nine times in ten years; and even a JNew York Journal once stated that General Grant had "excurted" (gone off on an excursion.) A reporter who was sent to attend a religious conference wrote that the meeting "topped off" with a prayer. Mr. Marshall pays almost as much at tention to Mormonism as if he had dis covered it: but if he has nothing new to tell us relating to the, past history of the sect, he at any rate brings our informa tion down to the present date. He shows that it is steadily Increasing in numbers. and that "recruits from Great Britain and other European countries continue to pour into Utah by hundreds every two or three months." It is astonishing how many "converts the Mormon preachers make in Wales. We have frequently stood and listened to the "sermons" of these missionaries by the roadside, and heard little in them that would be ob jected to by the most rigid of Welsh Bap tists. It is worthy of notice that the Mormons, when engaged in making proselytes, judiciously keep out of sight their own "sacred" book, and preach with the Bible in their bands. They are also very careful not to sav a word about their customs concerning the married state, and Welsh girls find out first on their arrival at Salt Lake City that they have practically become in mates of a harem. The porter at the Tabernacle" is one of the" few inhabi tants of the city who has only one wife, but this does not appear to be altogether his own fault. According to Mr. Mar shall, he recently wished to increase his household, but his present wife, a Lan cashirelass, "gave him such a drubbing for his impudence th tt he was laid up after it for six weeks." This is a prac tical cure for Mormonism, but it might be difficult to apply it on a large scale. The author thinks that it is the impera tive duty of the United States to "wipe out this plague-spot from the national escutcheon ' It is easier said than done. Mr. Mai shall saw the big trees of Cali fornia a tunnel has been made through one of them, along which stage-coaches are driven and the rose mite Valley; and everywhere, as we have said, he em ployed his time to good purpose, and brought away with him a fair store of en tertainment for his audience. The facts collected as to the progress of States or cities are well sifted and arranged, and if the book had been furnished with a good index it might have served a nsefnl turn for purposes of reference. In a word, Mr. Marshall has done very well indeed, and we hope he will some day do even better. For, although he has entitled his book "Through America," there is an enormous region of the United States proper which he never even approached. It is almost time that that some intelligent traveler, instead of following everybody else on the great race track of tourists to the West, turned his face to the South and told us how the Southern States are getting on, and whether the planters of the anti-Rebel lion era ever recovered'even a moderate degree of prosperity. Before the war Olmstead thoroughly explored the Southern States, but no one has equaled his work since ruin and despair fell upon the proud Confederacy. Pall Mall Gazette.

Young Skidmore put in his regular Sunday evening with his sweetheart, but he had not gotten half through with the stereotyped inspection of the photograph album when she noticed that an air of peculiar abstraction weighed upon his usually smiling countenance. 'Whats the matter, Gustus? Don t you feel well ?" she inquired, tenderly disarranging the part in his hair, as is the exasperating feminine custom. 'Oh! I'm all right," he said. "Did you take in the matinee yesterday ?" and he glanced uneasily around. "Tell me what aUB you, she persisted, gently. "You seem to have something on your mind ; what is it ? Gustus, tell me." "I haven't got anything to tell," sai Skidmore, holding first one shoe up to the light and then the other, after which he shook his head thoughtfully. 'Ure at heavens! 1 see it all! ex claimed the now fully alarmed girl. 'You've been speculating in stocks and have have used tbe office money. Oh ! Gustus, to think that you should ever be a defaulter." "I haven't done anything of the kind." said the young man, indignantly. "I only feel that is, I kinder how do you get on with your music lessons, Tilda ?" 'Oh! Gustus, don t talk in that strange way. If anything dreadful has happened tell me at once. Don't keep me in sus pense!" and she laid her head on his shoulder and sobbed bitterly. "Tilda, said the young man, after a moment devoted to firmly but gently re moving ber head and selecting another seat. "You don't really care very much for Limburger cheese, do you ? I sup pose you could give it up for my sake ?" "Why, Gus but she stopped sud denly, as a terrible thought flashed through her mind. Her lover's intellect was never very strong, her papa had often said, and now he had at last gone insane. She must be cautious. "What are you looking under the sofa for, dear?" she said as sweetly as her agitation would permit. Oh! X X thought X dropped some thing," he responded, absently. "There is nothing the matter with the sewers hereabout, is there, Tilda ?" "No, I think not, dear, she replied, determining to humor him, as she had heard that was the proper course with insane people. "Haven t got such a thing as a tumor about you, I suppose?'' he continued. wistfully, "louwouldn t conceal such a thing as a tumor from me all these years, would you, xiidu t "No, darling, she replied, trembling violently, and edging toward the door. 'Then I guess I d better go home now -letters to write;" and he advanced for a parting embrace. "Don t touch me! keep on! help! mur der!" yelled the terrified female, jump ing behind the sofa, while the household came swarming to the scene. "What yer mean i roared the father of the family, shaking the astonished young man by the collar. "What did he do to you, Tilda ?" I didn t do nothm , yelled okid- more, backing into a corner. "X was go ing home because I couldn't stand it any longer." "Stand what, you lunatic ? "Why, this terrible odor. I'm blamed if it isn't just the worst smell I ever struck in my life." And the desperate young man sat down and nearly sneezed his head off. "Oh, is that all ?" exclaimed the object of bis affection, mubh relieved; and then, after a good deal of blushing, she whis pered something to her mother, who whispered something to -her father, who led the young man into the entry, and explained that in consequence of the prevailing epidemic they had thought it best for Tilda to wear a couple of car bolic and camphor pads about her per son. "Why, to be sure!" said the overjoyed lover, smelling his cuffs. "I might have known. How stupid of me." And he returned to the parlor, from which the family of his beloved filed out again, leaving the two reassured souls to disinfect as one. San Francisco Post. His Sign. Haib Dressing.
