A crowd of pcoplo ure pushing out tliut very way, however, und I am obliged to wnit until the nussago is clear.

In tho sp'i'-e betwe. ;i tlio counters, women push their way in this or that direction, quite forgetting tho fact that, if the gem-nil tendency of prog ress were always Inward the right, the general confusion would be decidedly lessened. "I wish lliu fact might bo impressed upon the younger generation, at least, that there is common sense and reason in keeping to the right. Kven if we older ieople cannot practice wisdom, they, ut least, should learn by our mistake."- Youth's Companion. What Pursled Mr, Lut trail, Among the nicmliers of the Forty third congress was Hon. John K. Lut trell, of California. Tho following story illustrates forcibly tho condition of affair then and the justice of tho present demand for a reform in' the rules of the house: 1 1 "When I came to Washington," said Mr. Ltittrell to ex-Scnutor Nos mith, of Oregon, who was then a member of the house, "I thought 1 wus to be a member of a deliberative assembly of representative (x-ers, each one on un equality with tho others, each with equal voice in tho iirocoed ings. I llnd that 1 um mistaken. It is more hkoa city in its workings, llcreuro men engaged in lliiunco; here other engaged in commercial pur suits. There are somo who buy and sell, there ure others interested in for eign mailers. Some are gonllenion of elegant leisure. There aro rings und rings within rings. There aro busi ness sections, tho thickly settled por tion und the suburbs. "As for myself I live in the suburbs, so fur from tho business center that I may rise in my seat every day from December till July without once catch ing thoHeaker's eye. Nesmilh, lean tukeuu Indian blankelund completely cover with it the men who h1iiio and control tho legislation of tho tuition within this so called deliberate biMly." "Luttroll, you always did huvo a good deal of a fixil in your composi tion," replied tho Oregon iuu. "Why goto the trouble of obtaining an Indian blanket? Why not get a dinner plate and clap it on the head of tho neakui'l" Washington Tost. Th l'roMr taiiglli. Stephen A. Douglas and Mr. Lovo joy were once gossiping together, when Abraham Lincoln cauio in. Tho two men immediately turned their conversation uon the nroMr length of a man's leg. "Now, said livcjoy, "Abe's legs are altogether loo long, and yours, Douglas, I think, are a little short. It's ask Abo what he thiuksof it." Tho conversation had been carried on with a view to Lin coln' overhearing it, and they closed it by saying: "Als, what do you think about it?" Mr. Lincoln had a faraway look, as ho Kit with one leg twisted oround tlio other, but ho re sponded to tho question, "Think of what?" "Well, wo're talking uboul tho proper length of a man's legs. Wo think yours nro too long and Douglas' too short, und wo'd like to know what you think is the proper length." ''Well," said Mr. Lincoln, "Unit's a mutter I've never given any thought to, so, of course, I may bo mistaken; but my first impression is that a man's legs ought to Ikj long enough to reach from his body to the ground."

HP" V J EimOPE'3 MANY CHANGES. How tlia Vurloua Countries Hat Deaa Cut I'D and Divided. Humors of a Kurniean war on a grand R ile ure ulways rife, and it may be in-ten-slim to recall the uiuny and stn js -inluna changes which have modifies! the map of Kumpe during the last sixty years. The French revolution, con tinued by Nucleoli I. overtunied every nation und mulifi.'d every frontier limit in Kuroja. Between 1813 und 1:J0 the r -storatioti of the eldest branch of the 13 mrbniis in France und the Vienna and Vcinna congresses had nearly re-estal. lished the ancient order of things in the Luropeau world. Hut in l;o the revolution which crowned the Oi leun cadet Louis Phil lipl' as king of France, und proclaimed liiiu the representative of modern liber ulisin as against clerical reuctionism us HTsoiiifii;d in Charles X, was the signal of changes all over Kurojie. The heroic sons of O recce had already liegun the htruggle for modem lila-rty and for na tional independence. They were dc cessful, und the treaty of Adrianople was agreed to by all Euro, und (refce wus recognized as a sovereign power ou Feb. 8, Moldavia, Walluchiu and Servia wea constituted -by the same treaty as autonomous principalities, and Turkey ceded to Russia the mouth of the Daimlie. Belgium separated from Holland und was recognized as an i n depcudcut Hwer in July, IBM, after long conferences held at London. In lHli-l the kingdom of Poland was suppressed as a result of the heroic hut unsuccessful fight of the Poles for lib erty. Iu lHdO the republic of Cracow was suppressed und incorjxiruted with Austriu. In ISIS the principality of Neuclmtel, which had lieeu given up to Prussia by the treuties of 1814, declared its indeiM-ndence und liecnme a uantoii of Swit zerlund. This independence wus ofllciully recognized by Prussia iu 1H37. After the Crimean war, in 1M6, Russia lost tho southern portion of Bessarabia, along the banks of the Danube, which portion was given to Moldavia. The Solferino vU'tory. in IHoi), caused Aus tria to surrender Loinbardy, with the exception of Mantua, to Napoleon III, who luado a present of that province to Italy, or rather to the king of Sardinia. In lHiit) the sumo king cunio into pos session of Modena, Parma, Tuscany, Roinugiia, Umoria, Naples and Sicily, giving back in exchange to France only the county of Nice und the Savoy. Ono year later, in lbGl, the kingdom of Italy was definitely constituted by the re union under the sfiine scepter of ull Ital ian states formerly separated, with the exeeptiou of the pontifical states and the Rome Ciiinpa gria. In 1H(11, Moldavia und Wiillnchia were united under the name of Rumania. In the Ionian Islands, which formed u parliamentary republic under British protectorate, were ceded to (ll'eive. The (iastein convention of lt05, after the war of the duchies, decreed the an nexation to Prussia of the duchy of Lunenburg, tho title of which wus con ferred iiiMin Bismarck after his retire ment from the chancellorsiiip. Iu lWtl, after the battle of Sadowa, the kingdom of Hanover, the Hesse electorate, the free city of Frankfort, Schleswig and Hoi stein were annexed to Prussia and the confederation of North Germany was established. In the same year, and us allot her consequence of defeat ut Sadowa, the Vienna government abandoned Vcn etia and the fortress of Mantua to Italy. The first defeats of the French iu the war of N?(l compelled them to evacuate Rome, which then became the capital of Italy. The Frankfort treaty gave Alsace and Lorraine to the newly founded North German empire. In 1878, after the Russo-Turkish wur, and through the operation of the Berlin treaty, great changes were made in the map of Europe. Russia exchanged the Dohrntidiu district for southern Bessa rabia. Scrvia. by the same treaty, was enlarged and constituted us an imlcH'iid cut kingdom, as well us Rumania. Bul garia Ih'ciiuic a mere tributary province of Turkey, from which in 1883 she snatched eastern Rmuelia. Montenegro received uu iucreuso of territory, and Bosnia nnd Herzegovina were surrend ered to Austria, which was authorized to occupy them temporarily, a word which means in diplomacy real posses sion. Such is the present international map of Europe; how long will it last iu that shape? Philadelphia Telegraph. A Snonr I'luut from I tie Sierra. One of the rarest plants known to bot anists has been brought to this city by II L. Swurtz and is on exhibition in the windows of a down town florist. It is kuuwn us the snow plant and was found by Mr. Swarta growing near snowbanks in tho Sierras, 0,300 feet above the sea level. Tho plant is indigenous to high aud frozen altitudes and is a curiosity It grows to the height of four or five inches, nnd when it blooms, which is soon after the spring thaw, it liears the appearance of a dark reddish pine cone set upright ou the ground. It emits an odor that is not unlike that of the honey suckle. The value attached to it is on account of its rarity, and tho plant se cured by Mr. Swurta is doubtless the first ever brought to this city. San Francisco Examiner. The f.Att Indian llrlila.
