. TIBBY ASD TOSEY.
Kitty had been to the charity ball, and
the charity ball was ery fashionable,
there was no donbt about that. Kitty
had eaten a late supper, returned home,
gone to bed and to sleep; there was no
donbt of that. She recollected distinctly
throwing one shoe under the bed and the
other into a corner, saying "Good night"
. to her own figure in the looking glass,
twisting the figure of a butterfly till her
.finger ached before she discovered that
it was not the ms-stopper, and then
laughing sleepily at all her mistakes. She
even remembered the first dream of her
; sleep, which was something about char-
;a 3
117 uisuiionus, enicKen-saiaa, lancers ana
ice-cream waltzes.
No; there was no doubt that she had
gone through all this; yet there she was,
staring in at the windows of the great
bail-room , and the ball was just commenc
ing, uould sbe nave gone to sleep on
the window-sill in some mysterious man
ner. Mo; she was outside and standing
in the air, with somebody holding on to
her hand!
"Oh, dear," thought Kitty, mournful
ly, "I must have drank some wine some
how. How strange it is! I wonder how
I came here! But what colds hands hold
mine; it's not papa's, for it makes me
shiver. He must be horrid. I won't
look at him. So!"
There did not seem to be much need of
the resolve, however, for the person who
held her hand did not move nor seem to
' care whether she saw him or not, but
quietly looked in with her. So, at last,
like most girls, Kitty's curiosity got the
better of her, and she cautiously glanced
out of the corners of her eyes.
Beside her she saw an old man. His
beard and hair were long and white, and
dropped about his neck and shoulders,
like falling snow. Upon his head was
. lightly placed a crown as of rrost-work,
- so delicate was its texture. Robes, long
and dark, and cold to look at, fell in
broad folds from his shoulders, and were
held to his waist by a girdle of twink
ling stars. He was gazing i at the
brilliant assemblage - with a sad, melan
choly look upon liia face.
J Kitty lookedjit his robes.
r--eastlSayold-fashionedr' she thought
"ana aged, very aged.
"Yes," murmured the old man; "old,
very old."
Kitty started. He read her thoughts,
evidently. She was sorry now she had
thought it, he looked so sad.
"Who are you?" asked Kitty, timidly,
. "and why have you brought me here?"
"I am the Cold Night," said the old
man, slowly turning his eyes toward her.
His eyes were sharp and piercing, yet
full of kindness. "And have brought
you here that you might see how great
your charity is, for I heard this was a
charity-ball."
"Yes," said Kitty nervously.
"I am a friend of the poor,'1' continued
, the Cold Night; "and I love to see chari
ty." He looked back into the ball-room
1 as he spoke. "You see all your friends
. here?"
i "Yes," said Kitty brightening up and
gazing inside with something of a proud
I look. There's Flowery Hall right be
fore the window now. She has those
beautiful solitaire diamonds in her
ears now. Oh, dear, how bright they
look, I wish I had them."
i "But you had the handsomest dress,"
"" said the Cold night, sadly.
"Oh, yes," exclaimed Kttty, quickly,
"It was of the richest silk and cost
several hundred dollars. Papa was so
' kind."
"And it was bought for charity?"
asked the Cold Night.
"Why, no,, for me, of course." an
swered Kitty,' in surprise.
"But the ball is for charity?"
Kitty began to be bewildered by so
.-- mnoh catechising, and she waa much
relieved when he led her away.
They descended to the grand en
trance, where he pointed to two little
beggars, a boy and a girl, who fiddled
and sang, and asked a penny of all the
rich people descending from their car
riages. "You passed them by to-night?"
"Yes, but they are horrid beggars,"
said Kitty. The Cold night was silent;
and Kitty was afraid ahe might have
said something wrong, so she added:
"And common street fiddlers.".
But the Cold Night said nothing.
They both watched the little duo,
Tosey and Tibby, the Cold Night
w'aud drew nearer to hear what they
would say. People, rich with money
and great in charity carefully passed
them by,' for they were ragged beg
gara and fiddlod and sang. It was
cold, very cold; and Tosey played very,
. very slowly, while the breath of Tibby's
quivering plaint disappeared despair
ingly on the frosty air. The wheels of
carriages seemed to creak in sympathy
as they crushed down in the snow. Yes,
it was cold indeed, yet they fiddled and
sang untiringly, while the rich peoplo
alighted and passed up the grand en
trance, after glancing contemptuously at
the poor little duo, who fiddled and sang
as the brilliant dresses disappeared in
. the distant doorway; but finally stopped
as the last carriage drove away.
"I suppose we looks too awful," said
Tosey, wetting his lips and feeling va
cantly in his small pocket, which God
knows, had not seen as much as a dime
for many and many a day.
"Yes' said Tibby, "but I does feel so
hungry, and I sang so loud, and I tried
. so hard"
Tibby slightly sobbed and Bilently
used a small piece of her shawl to wipe
away a big tear.
- "Don't cry." said Tosey, tremulously,
"let's move on, and perhaps well find a
little somethin'. On, if we only had a
few pennies!''
Tosey took Tibby's hand and they
started to move away.
"Oh! Mr. Cold Night," said Kitty sor
rowfully, "let me give them something
poor little things 1"
"But they are beggars." answered the
Cold Night.
Kitty looked ashamed. She could feel
' herself blush, even though she was cold
and shivering. The Cold Night handed
her a piace of silver.
"Yes," said he, "drop it, even if it is
WW ted. See what they will do." -
Kitty took it quickly and dropped it
before them. Bight at Tibby's foot fell
the money, which she would have passed
unnoticed if Tosey had not exclaimed:.
"Oh, Tibby, there's a dime!" and
picked it up. i
Tibby clasped her hands in delight,
danced up and down and then looked in
to his hand, to be sure that it was really
there. It was surely.
"Won't we hare a hot potato, though,"
said Tosey. . )
. "Ana a Dig roil, ana some Dutier, anu
some meat, and just a very little piece of
pie?" -
Tibby named each of them on the ends
of her fingers, but stopped when she got
to her thumb, lor the money was an gone
by that time, and the thumb was quite
lint how did it come there f asxea
Tosey.
Tibby. i
"No," said Tosey. '
"Fell from the sky r ,
"Guess not," said Tosey, dubiously.
"Or been flanged?" A ,
"Oh, no, of course not!" Tosey an
swered emphatically.
They both looked hungrily at the
piece of money, and began to count to
gether what lots of things they could
Duy; ana meir laces grew nngus, uiueeu,
as they thought of it.
From the shades of the opposite side
of the entrance, a thin bundle of rags
slowlv crept, and steadily shuffled up to
them. Ont of the dirt and rags peered a
thin face and elistenincr eyes, and the
hands of the small bundle wearily rubbed
themselves together, to try and stir up
the blood that was not there.
"This is a charity ljall," said the thin
bundle. "Those folks dance for the
poor." The glistening eyes looked
eagerly at Tosey and Tibby, "and fre
quently glanced at the money in their
hands. "We is poor and dances for us
and me mother, who is sick abed, they
dances to give us the bread which we
seldom has."
Tosey looked in su prise at the thin
bundle rubbing its hands.
"And does they dress in nice closes for
ns, and ride in carriages, and give lota of
money, and all for us ?"
The thin handle rubbed faster and
faster. . ;
"Yes, if there's any more than as pays
for the dancin' and the dressin'; and the
dancin' costs ten dollars a piece, and the
dressin' I dunno! It's all for us if
there's any left."
"But they didn't give us any when I
sang," said Tibby.
"Lors no!" said the thin bundle; "they
has folks as hunts up poor folks when
they has time, and sews flannels when
they hasn't. Yes, they says they does all
this for us, but" The bundle shook
its head as if doubtful, and continued:
"I stood over yondr thinkin' some
body would give me snmthin"; but they
all looked mad at me, and I went back
into the shudder and watched 'em. It
was a big sight, and I am jest as hun
gry. The hands stopped rubbing, and
the eyes looked wet as the bundle added:
"My mother is very, yery sick. We's
poor so poor." I
Tosey looked at her little sister as the
rags began to shuffle away.
"Tibby ,does we feel so awful hungry?"
said he.
Tibby hesitated.' She looked at the
silver, and then the slowly retreating
figure, and then j she looked up into
Tosey's gentle, loving face.
"lo, Tosey, I dunno as I does."
Tosey turned round, and running after
the departing figure, handed her the
piece of money.
"There," said he, "take it; you need it
worse nor we does."
The bundle looked in surprise as she
took the piece, and tears fell down the
thin, pale face. But she only said:
"I'm very, very grateful," aud walked
off.
The two little musicians watched the
figure aa it disappeared in the darkness,
while the happy shuffle grew fainter and
fainter. r
Ah, there was charity, God-like
charity, in the hearts of the beings the
rich despised and thrust out of their
doors.
- As .the - Cold .Night - turned - toward
Kitty, he found her silently wiping her
eyes.
"Do you see. what true charity is?"
asked he, in a sweet, sympathetic voice.
"Yes, yes, I see," murmured Kitty.
While they were talking they had
slowly risen up, to the brilliant windows
again.
"Now look at the mockery," said the
Cold N'ght, somewhat harshly.
It was the most brilliant hour of the
ball. Light from myriads of jets, em
bedded in massive chandeliers, sparkled
with dazzling intensity, making the
brightest day of gloomy night. People
decked with jewels and silks and laces,
were gathered in merry groups, or join
ing in pleasurable dance to the strains of
sweet and lively music. It was a beauti
ful sight indeed; but somehow, the peo
ple looked heartless to Kitty, and the
jewels glittered spitefully, vj-kile the rich
silks seemed to hiss and hiss as they
rustled along, as if all were rebelling
against their false use. !
"But one more act," said the Cold
Night, leading her gently down to the
opposite side of the street.
From a dark corner, with, their arms
twined about eaoh other's neck, the two
little beggars watched the! windows of
the brilliantly lighted hall away up in
the sky it seemed watched the gay
figures that frequently appeared in rich,
dainty dresses, and smiled to think that
it was all for the poor and needy.
"They dances for us and for others,"
murmured Tibby, "for those as in want.
Maybe the beautiful ladies will find us
here to-morrow, and give us some
bread."
"Yes," said Tosey; "and the poor lit
tle girl as had the sick mother. P'hapa
they'll find them, and help them, too.
The Cold Night waved his hand above
them, and they beth shivered, and said
how cold it was. : Tosey tried to play a
note on his violin, but the strings creak
ed so dismally that he laid it aside. Then
they sang together the sweet little song
of charity which Tibby had sung to the
rich people; and, as they sang, the Cold
Night spread his mantle slowly around
them until they were fast asleep.
"Oh, sir!" cried Kitty, "spare them,
and let them live."
"No," said Cold Night, "they are too
poor to live. They must die."
Kittie fell on her knees before him.
"Oh, sir," she pleaded beseechingly,
"I am rich and will take care of them,
and relieve them from suffering."
But the Cold Night raised his hand
and pointed upward, saying:
"To late, to late?"
As he spoke he took the beggars in his
arms, slowly rose up toward the stars and
leaving Kitty sobbing on the ground.
As she knelt there she heard, high in the
skies, the song that the beggars sang, the
song of sweet charity, swelling to a
mighty chorus, as one would think to
celebrate a mighty deed mighty in the
sight of heaven. She tried to rise
her head but could not, she seemed
bound to the earth by a great weight, as
of gold, while above the song grew faint
er and fainter, till at last it ceased, then
she fell into a deep swoon.
It was broad daylight when Kitty
awoke, and the sun was shining brightly
into her window. In the hall the maid
humming a subdued song as she went
blithely about her work ; while without
the white smoke of morning fires signs
of stirring life curled upwards from the
chimney-tops into the cool air as if glad
to meet the light of day.
"It was only a dream; yet, oh, how
vivid?" thonht Kitty, as she rubbed her
eyes again aud again, surprised to see
the walls of her own pretty room actually
around her. .
"Only a dream, only a dream ; yet how
full of truth!" cheerily rang the milk
man's bell as Kitty donned her morning
dress; while, as she passed down the
broad staircase the great hall clock seem
ed to say: ,
"Only a dream, only a dream; yet
there's a lesson, yet there's a lesson;" and
Kitty pondered.
A year from that time Kitty passed by
the same old clock; but this time it said
as it ticked, ticked away:
"Only a dream yet it's made her an
angel angel of mercy to suffering need."
Her name so dear to us, is a name of love
among the poor. Ah, happy, happy was
the day when, to her eyes, a dream re
vealed true charity.
Captain Kidd.
"Was Captain Kidd a Pirate?" is the
subject of an essay read by Douglas
Campbell at the St. Nicholas Club of
New York, the authot taking the ground
that Kidd, instead of a free-booter and
murderer, as he is painted, was, in
reality, a loyal subject of the King, and
fell a victim to the political persecution
of his friend and Whig patron, Lord
Somers, by the Tory lords, who came
into power in the last days of William
III. Kidd was by birth an Irishman or
Scotchman (for , both coth countries
claimed him) who distinguished himself
as a privateer commander in the war
against the French, and with the wealth
acquired from privateering settled in
Mew X or k. rus nonse was m uiuorty
street, near Nassau. During the Lister
anarchy, which preceded the arrival of
the Earl of Belmont, Kidd rendered the
city valuable services, for which the
Governor and Assembly presented him
with 150. So great was his reputation
as a successful naval officer that the
colony of Massachusetts, in 1691, tried to
hire him to take charge of an expedition
asrainst a privateer which was then
ravaging the coasts. Piracy and free
booting had then grown to a most
alarming extent, especially in the Indian
Ocean. Many of them were not-distant
privateers from New York and other
American colonies, who, beginning with
the pursuit of 1 rench and bpamsu snips,
in the end extending these operations to
those of all nations. . it was to put down
these "lied Sea men, as they were
called, that Kidd was sent out in the
Adventure galley with his crew of scape
graces and desperados. Among his
patrons and partners in the expedition
were Somers. Halifax, and the powerful
Whig Lords, and even the King himself
offered to invest SoUuU m the undertak
ing. Arrived at the Indian Ocean, Kidd
found his insubordinate crew more
ready to take sides with the pirates than
to fight them. He captured some vessels
which he claimed were sailing under
French papers. It was his misfortune
that his mutinous crew prevented his
taking them before a prize court. After
the capture of the Onedagh, mercnant,
owned by Moors, and which was made
the basis of the principal charge against
him, ninety of his crew desertea nun
and joined the pirates. The others en
deavored to persuade him by threats to
turn pirate and take the Koyal Captain,
an armed English ship, whiih was sail
ing in his company. - Kidd steadily re
fused, and in an altercation growing outf
of the affair, he struck William Moore.
one of his petty officers, over the head
with a bucket, inflicting fatal injuries.
He was recalled to Boston, where Lord
Bellmond took his papers containing the
French papers of the ships he had
captured, and which he was never after
able to obtain, though his life depended
upon their production. While he was
gone the Whigs had suffered defeat in
the parliamentary elections, ana a lory
minister had come in, eager to revenge
themselves on the Whig chancellor,
Somers, by proving Kidd a pirate and
then impleading Somers for having
affixed the great seal of England to
Kidd's commission. Kidd, who had now
assumed the dignity of a State prisoner,
was taken to England in the man-of-war
Active, which had been dispatched to
bring him. The Lordd of Admirality,
the sworn enemies of th Lord Chancel
lor, subjected him to a long and tortuous
examination, in whicn tney strove to in
duce him to implicate the Lord Chancel
lor in his transactions, bnt without
effect. Kidd's fidelity was not to be
shaken. On the 30th of March, 1701, he
was ordered for trial at the old Bailey,
and two days later Simon Harcourt, the
Tory leader in the House of Commons,
introduced the resolutions Impeaching
Somers. The former articles, which
were not submitted till two months later,
after Kidd's trial and conviction, charged
the Lord. Chancellor with being impli
cated with "William Kidd, a person of
evil fame and reputation, and since that
time convicted of piracy." Kidd was
really hanged in order to carry out the
impeachment of Somers . His trial, in
which he was denied access to his papers
and oonfronted by a host of law lords
and King's consul, all anxious "for' his
don vie t ion, was a monstrous farce. Even
his two sailors, who turned informers,
were forced to admit, on cross-examination,
that Moore was killed in an angry
altercation and in a manner that showed
no premeditation or intention to cause
death. Kidd was denied counsel, was
hampered by legal tricks, and brow
beaten and overpowered by the six
partial judges on the bench and the five
cunning lawyers opposed to him. His
trial was "railroaded." It began May
8th, two verdicts, one of "murder" and
the other "piracy," were brought in on
the 9th, and on the 12th, three days fol
lowing, Kidd was hanged in Execntion
Dock. The impeachment of Somers,
which the Tories had thought to carry,
by the aid of Kidd's death, failed, the
House of Lords throwing out the
articles. History has done full justice
to the character of the great Whig Chan
cellor, while that of his friend, William
Kidd, the New York sailor, has for six
generations rested under undeserved
ignominy.
Machine Calculation.
Arithmometer is the name of a calcu
lating machine about which the average
business American knows little, if any
thing. Indeed, it is considerably doubt
ful whether more than two or three of
these brain-saving instruments have ever
made their way across the Atlantic.
Probably there are many models of com
puting devices stored away in the Pat
ent Office, for the idea of the practica
bility of such things has long been com
mon property, and they have been evol
ved from the ingenuity of ambitious
mechanicians in profuse variety. The
builders cf some of them had the cor
rect principle in view, but their machines
would not apply it unfailingly. The
primary principle upon which others
were constructed were faulty, and, there
fore, no matter how beautifully the
springs azd cog-wheels operated, their
processes and results were anything bnt
mathematical and satisfactory.
The first mechanical calculator that
has honorable mention in authentic rec
ords was devised by a Frenchman nearly
2j0 years ago. Thus far the skill of
man has failed to improve upon the
principle which it embodied. The arith
mometer that is now gradually working
its way into public favor, is constructed
upon the same old principle. It makes
acquaintances with the greatest diffi
dence, but it is so true to its promise
that, once the opportunity is given it
ingratiates itself with itt master beyond
the danger of repudiation. It is manu
factured only in Paris, and costs, ac
cording to grade based upon capacity,
from $75 to $100. It does not do all
kinds of arithmetical work, but, being
above trifles, is intended to solve only the
vaster problems that would otherwise
require tedious and exhaustive labor.
In the line of its natural duty it will
accomplish in a few minutes with abso
lute correctness what would take a lively
accountant several hours to perform.
This honest and convenient little au
tomaton does not profess to be of much
use save for simple multiplication and
division. These, however, are the pro
cessesses which draw most heavily and
frequently upon the ordinary compu
ter's time and patience. The machine
multiplies and divides through the pro
cesses of addition and subtraction, which,
as is well known among arithmeticians,
when repeated again and again, amount
to multiplication and division: The
average-sized instrument will give a
product of sixteen figures. In a few
seconds it may be adjusted to work a
long sum, after which, by several rapid
movements of a handle, the answer will
be made to appear. It will draw ratios
and percentages and reduce numbers
from one denomination to another, such
as francs to cents, tons to ounces, etc.
But it will only do this through the deci
mal system of computation. In making
intricate calculations of probabilities, as
is necessary in the science of insurance,
it has been found invaluable.

Talleyrand and His Miserable Marriage.
Mtue. de Bemusat in her memoirs af
ter telling how Najoloon compelled Tal
leyrand to marry Moo. Grand, who had a
husband ' living, thus sketches the
Prince's behavior in this embarrassing
position ; in the situation in which he waa
placed by his marriage' he had to take
constant precaution to escape, aa far aa
possible, from the ridicule which was al
ways suspended over him. No doubt he
managed better than others might have
done in such a position. 1 Profound si
lence respecting his private troubles, an
appearance of complete indifference to
the foolish things which his wife was al
ways saying, and the blunders which she
was always making, a haughty demeanor
ta thnsa who ventured to smile at turn or
her. extreme politeness, which was called I
benevolence, great social innuence ana
political weight, a large fortune, unalter
able patience under insult, and great
dexterity in taking his revenge, were the
weapons with which he met the general
condemnation: and. notwithstanding his
great faults, the public have never dared J
to despise nun. jxevertneiess, 11 is not
to be supposed that he has not paid the
private penalty of his imprudent con
duct. Deprived of domestic happiness,
almost at variance with his family, who
could not associate with Mme, de Talley
rand he was obliged to resort to an en
tirely fictitidus existence in order to es
cape from the dreariness of his home, and
perhaps from the bitterness of his secret
thoughts. Public affairs occupied him,
and such leisure as they left him he gave
to play. He was always attended by a
crowd of followers, and by giving his
mornings to business, his evenings to
society and his nights to cards, he never
exposed himself to a tiresome tete a tote
with his wife, or to the dangers of soli
tude, which would have brought serious
reflection. Bent on getting away from
himself, he never sought sleep until he
was quite sure that extreme fatigue
would enable him to procure it. The
Emperor did not make up for the obliga
tion which he had imposed on him by his
conduct to Mme. do Talleyrand. He
treated her coldly, ever rudely; never
admitted her to the distinctions of the
rank to which she was raised without
making a difficulty about it; and did not
disguise the repugnance with which she
inspired him, even while Talleyrand still
possessed his entire confidence. Talley
rand bore all this, never allowed the
slightest complaint to escapo him, and
arranged so that his wife should appear
but seldom at court. She received all
distinguished foreigners on certain days,
and on certain other days the govern
ment officials. She made no visits, none
were exacted from her; in fact, she count
ed for nothing. Provided each person
bowed to her on entering and leaving his
salon, Talleyrand asked no more. Let
me say, in conclusion, that he always
seemed to bear with perfectly resigned
courage the fatal "eu l'as voulu" of Mo
liere's comedy." I did not know Mme.
Grand in the prime of her life and
beauty, but I have heard it said that she
was one of the most charming womeu of
her time. ; She was tall, and her figure
had all the suppleness and grace so com
mon to women born in the East. Her
complexion was dazzling, her eyes of the
brightest hue and her slightly retrousse
nose gave her, singularly enough, a look
of Talleyrand himself. Her fair golden
hair was of a proverbial beauty. I think
she was about 36 when she married M.
de Talleyrand. The elegance of her fig
ure was already slightly injured by her
becoming stout. This afterward in
creased, and by degrees her features lost
their delicacy, and her complexion be
came very red. The tone of her voice
was disagreeable, her manners were ab
rupt; she was of an unamiablo disposi
tion, and so intolerably stupid that she
never by any chance said the right thing.
Talleyrand's intimate friends were the
objects of her particular dislike, and
they cordially detested her. Her eleva
tion gave her little happiness, and what
she had to suffer never excited anybody's
interest.
Bread Making in Spain.
The bread of the south of Spain is
delicious;- it is white" as snow, close as
cake, and yet very- light; the flour is most
admirable, for the wheat is good and
pure, and the bread well kneaded. The
way they make this bread is as follow:
From large", round panniers filled with
wheat, they take out a handf ul at a time,
sorting it most carefully and expe
diously, and throwing every defective
grain into another basket. This done,
the wheat is ground between two circular
stones, as it was ground two thousand
years ago, the requisite rotary motion
being given by a blindfolded mule.which
paces around and around with untiring
patience, a bell being attached to the
neck, which, as long as he is in move
ment, tinkles on ; and when it stops he
urged on to his duty by the shout of
"arra mnla," from some one within hear
ing. When ground, the wheat is sifted
through three sieves, the last of these be-,
ing so fine that only the pure flour can
pass through it; this is of a pale apricot
color. The bread is made in the even
ing. It is mixed with only sufficient
water with a little salt in it, to make into
dough; a very small quantity of leaven
or fermenting mixture is added. But to
avoid the trouble of kneading, many put
in as much leaven or yeast in one batch
of household bread as in Spain would
last a week for six or eight donkey loads
of bread they send every day from their
oven. The dough is made, it is put into
sacks and carried on the donkey's backs
to the oven in the center of the village,
so as to bake it immediately it is
kneaded. On arriving there the dough
is divided into portions, weighing three
pounds each. Two long, narrow wooden
tables on trestles are then placed down
the room, and a curious sight may be
seen. About twenty men bakerscome
in and range themselves on one side of
the table. A lump ef dough is handed
to the nearest, which he begins kneading
and knocking about with all his might
for about three or four minutes, and
then he passes it on to his neighbor, who
does the same, and so on successively
until all have kneaded it, when it be
comes as soft as new putty and ready for
the oven. Of course as soon as the first
baker handed the first lump to his neigh
bor another lump was handed him, and
so on until the whole quantity of dough
is kneaded by them all. The bakers'
wives and daughters shape the loaves for
the oven, and some or them are very
small. They are baked immediately.
The ovens are very large, and are not
heated by fires under them, but a
quantity of twigs of the herbs of sweet
marjoram and thyme, which cover the
hills in great profusion, are put in the
oven and ignited. They heat the oven
to any extent required, and as the bread
gets baked the oven gets gradually
cooler, so the bread is never burned.
They knead the break in Spain with
such force that the palm of the hand and
the second joints of the fingers of the
bakers are covered with corns, and it so
affects the chest that they cannot work
more than two hours at a time.
Another Snake Stoby. A gentleman
in this county gives us the following ac
count of a horned snake: He states that
while hoeing in a field of corn he saw a
large snake crawling along with his head
and tail raised about eighteen inches from
the ground. He decided to kill the
snake, and, raising his hoe, started in
Eursuit. The snake, Beeing him, turned
ack to meet his foe, when the gentle
man, considering prudence the better
part of valor, turned to his heels and fled,
the snake in pursuit. A large white oak
tree was standing not far oof, and to this
he made his way. Just as he jumped be
hind the tree tbe snake struck at him,
and the born, a boat two inches long, was
buried in the tree. The snake, unable to
get his horn out of the tree, was killed.
The strangest part of the affair is that in
six hours the leaves on the tree, which
had been perfectly green and flourishing,
began to wither, and in less than twelve
hours was perfectly dead. The gentle
man who relates the above is a reliable
farmer. Journal., '
When some years ago an eminent
Australian was inspecting in that
country a lunatic asylum, miserably de
fective in construction and appointment,
he asked what the special feature in the
lunacy of a certain patient. "He thinks
he is in hell, sir," was the reply. "If
that's all the delusion," was the rejoinder,
"I think he has a very substantial basis
for it."
Staring at Women.
"An Old Traveler" sends to London
Truth of the 23d of January the following
lively letter:
I . believe civilized people goncrall r
agree that a fixed prolonged stare and
outspoken criticism in the presence of
the criticised, are uncivilized acts. Many
persona: imagine.- that a stony British
stare is confined to the British Isles; this
is by no means the ease.1 I and my wife
have been making a prolonged tour of
Germany and Italy. My wife is a strik
looking person, especially in these days
of plain women, and is much younger
than I am, quiet in manner and dress,
although she has ample means of induc
ing in "toilettes' i (I believe that is the
right word) , and dislikes attracting no
tice. I must say the-fixed, rnde staring
she has met with in Italy and Germany
amounts to brutality; and the criticisms
she has provoked have surprised me.
More than that, certain Christians and
Christianessess have gone beyond star
ing (much as an Ul-tempered cow stares
at a human being in a field as if she
would like to make a rush at him and an
nihilate him), and have hazarded imper
tinent remarks about her. Sir, this is
truly infamous! X What! because a woman
is attractive or dresses well, or has a pair
of large, soft eyes that can look at what
she sees in a strange country with vivac
ity and intelligence, is she to be branded
by evil beings who listen to the prompt
ings of their own bad hearts who do not
believe in innocence or goodness Bimply
because they are bad themselves? The
nineteenth century Christians have none
of that "charity which thinking no evil."
As to women well, talent and beauty
are not wavside flowers in anv countrv.
In Borne I have seen a few fine -or pic
turesque heads, but in very many parte
of Italy the womeu are simply hideous.
It is easy to see that they spring from
different or mixed races Lombards,
Tuetons. etc.; akin, hair. eyes, all of the
same indefinite shade of dirty blonde;
big nose, mouth without shape, lout en-
semble very ordinary. If I saw one or
two handsome women in Borne, most as
su redly I did not see one solitary even
good-looking woman in Germany. They
all have the forehead anti-classic, small,
hard, round eyes, set'much too close to
gether (never hava I seen a German
with soft eyes) ; nose so long that one
might say it never ends, and so pointed
that it is more like a toothpick than a
nose; lips so thin, they are a mere sketch
of lips; lantern-shaped faces, so lanterny
they are certain Indian tribes, who com
press the faces of their children in order
to produce a lantern "phiz. Well, they
didn't make their faces, bnt they did
make their bad manners, and their evil
hearts make their faces look uglier than
even nature did.
It is high time for men to leave off
imagining that because a woman looks
in -their direction she is, therefore, ad
miring them, or, if she has handsome
eyes, that she is making eyes at them be
cause she glances their way. I can as
sure you this fond delusion does not ex
ist only among 'Any and his pals. Theo
dore, Fritz and Alphonose have it to the
full as much, and are iust as big cads.
Write down and crush under foot the
cads of all nations, dear Truth. It is
very hard that the only women who are
allowed to enjoy themselves in peace and
quietness are plain 'governessy' women
and that bagmen and wine merchants.
and people of that stamp, who seem to
make np the staple of tourists now-a
days, and infest the best hotels (when I
first traveled only "good families" trav
eled), should presume to stare at and
discuss a lady as if she were a bar-maid.
The Ruffianism of Old Dnblin.
Tradition tells how Fighting Fitz
gerald, an exquisite and duellist of the
last century, dealt with the "bucks," a
plague then infesting the streete of
Dublin, and indeed the street of every
town in Ireland. These "bucks" were
half-bred young fellows of some means
and high animal spirits, whose sole
occupation consisted in making town
life intolerable to quiet people. Parlia
ment was once more compelled to frame
penal enactments with the view of re
straining their peculiar rufhamam; but
aa there was no properly constituted
police to enforce them these statutes were
of small effect. . '
Among the tricks of the Dublin bucks
was this: One of them would stand in
the middle of a crossing on a dirty day,
and. drawing his sword, thrust every
body who wanted to pass in the mud. It
was a common thing to see half a dozen
or more of these unpleasant sentries
lining a thoroughfare all ready to afford
each other support. Nor were they con
tent with merely obstructing the pas
sage. They knocked off hats, ripped np
garments and pricked the limbs of the
wearers with the points of their weapons,
and broke ribald jests on them the while
to the amusement of the ragmuffins
who used to collect in the vicinity. If
anybody turned on one of these bullies
the rest would rush up and form a circle
round him; then seizing him by the
collar and arms they wonld prick him
about the legs until they considered him
punished sufficiently.
Fitzgerald proposed to some of his
brother exquisites and fire-eaters that
they should clear the streets of the
metropolis of these pests. It was jnst
the sort of proposal to to suit such daring
spirits, and an association was immedi
ately formed to carry it out. Like their
leader, they were consummate swords
men, and dandies of the first water the
Dandy being in all essentials the anti
podes of the buck a distinction which
the people who write about the Ireland
of the past are very apt to forget.
The association set to work most
heartily, and in this way: Whenever a
fine afternoon followed a showery morn
ing, they would sally forth in knots of
four or five, each being followed by a
lusty valet carrying an oak sappling. On
reaching the haunts of the bucks, the
servant kept the rabble off while the
exquisites did the work they had under
taken. For a couple of months few
days passed without three or four affrays
between tbe bucks and the dandies, in
which the former came ont second-best.
Ere long, thei mainstay of the bucks, the
mob, turned against them too. This
meant that defeat was sure to be followed
by hooting and pelting with mud and
stones. Then the pleasant pastime of
blocking the thoroughfares in broad day
light was abandoned. CornJtill.
Tbe risk of sadden death, says the
Journal ef Cheihutry, is very trifling com
pared with tbe inevitable injury sus
tained by every individual who has to
make a long journey by rail. The trav
eler really takes his life in his hand
whenever he sets ont. The danger is less
from accident than design, less from mis
placed switches than from misplaced ven
tilators, less from bad road-beds than
from bad air. We are not now speaking
of the barbaric nuisance of having to
smell, breathe and bathe in tbe smoke,
soot and cinders pouring from the engine,
which, until some other method is found
to obviate the difficulty, ought to be in
the rear of the train instead of the front.
Of all conductors, brakemen, porters and
passengers, probably not one in a thou
sand understands tbe vital importance of
pure air, nor do they know what pure air
is. To the conductor's mind, as to that of
the majority of his passengers, the com
fort of tbe car depends upon the temper
atureit Is a matter of warmth and cold
entirely. , A warm car, or more commonly
a hot car, is the one desideratum, albeit the
warmth is the product of animal heat
from fifty bodies, many of them not very
clean, and of exhalations from fifty pair
of lungs, with little chance for the escape
of vitiated air or the ingress of pure air
a condition ot things tending to produce a
state of "bine blood" not contemplated by
the haul ton. When the life current
comes up to the lungs to be changed from

whole volume of blood makes this circuit
once in every half-minute, or over one
hundred times an hour if there is a lack
of sufficient ventilation in the car or sitting-room
or sleeping-room, the blood
cannot undergo this vital transformation.
It goes back to the heart, and from thence
is pumped through the arteries from
crown to sole, throughout the complicated
mesh-work of the capillaries, in a state
entirely unfitted to perform it functions
of supplying oxygen to all parte of the

resulting from tbe "never ceasing death"

i A Story i of Donner Lake. - -
In the good 'old days of '64, when the
excitement was ! in it flush, the now
quiet shore of Donner Lake was the
scene of bustle and life. Great "moun
tain schooners,?' drawn by five and six
span of mulea or horses, daily passed
along its northern shore, and two six
horse daily stages rattled over the smooth
road which waa kept free from dust by
sprinkling wagons, and which a large
foree kept constantly in repair. This
was known as the Dutch Flat road, the
site where Truokee now stands being
covered with barren rocks and trees,
with the exception of one solitary house!
There were three hotels near the shore of
of the lake, a store and a half dozen
dwelling houses, and a constant stream
travelers offered their patronage.
Among the; settlers at the foot of the
lake was a man named Lane, who came
with his family: in an emigrant train
across the plains. He camped at the
lake, and being short of means waa clad
of an opportunity offered him of laying
in a winter's supply of wood for the
hotel, which took many weeks.
A half-breed Indian, - known among
the whites as Joe, hung around the
hotel, and for some cause Joe and Lane
had a quarrel, in which the Indian was
worsted. Diys passed, and it was sup
posed that the affair was forgotten; but
the dogged Indian nature clung close
to him and showed itself. The insatiable
desire for revenge was in his heart. Joe
lurked around the place, and one after
noon the wife of Lane discovered that
her eldest child; was missing from the
camp-T-this was an adopted child, being
the child of Lane's deceased sister.
Search was instituted high and low
through the woods, and over the moun
tain and down Donner ereek. All hands
were on the track. It was known that
the Indian was the cause of the child's
disappearance, but the Indian disap-
at the same time, and a camp a
mile jfrom the lake was thoroughly
searched and vigilantly guarded but all
to no avail. The child had been in the
habit bf playing near the lake, and, after
a vigilant search, it was the generally
accepted theory among the settlers that
he must have been drowned.
Time passed, and hope began to fade.
But the sequel is the saddest part of this
romance of real life. The child, whose
name is unknown to us, died among the
Indians three weeks after its abduction.
The cause we can only presume. The
little fellow could not endure the coarse
food, the barbarous usages, the expo
sures and privations of Indian life. This
was at a camp near the place where
Verdi now stands down the river. Lane
left for Calfornia on the approach of
snow, bnt returred in the spring in
hopes to learn something of the child.
The Indian, Joe, became frightened
when the search began and found his
way to Virginia City, and afterwards to
eastern Nevada, and now lives at Bel
mont. He speaka English fluently, and
sometimes chops wood for the whites.
Thomas Molley, who waa engaged as a
miner there, now living at Truckee,
vouches for the truth of this strange
incident. He gave us the facts as he
learned them from the Indian. The
whole camp were too much frightened to
return the child at the time and kept it.
John Torrenoe, now of Sacramento, and
at the time employed around the toll
house of the lake, remembers the occur
rence well, but lost the track of Lane.

A Bonian Banquet:
A description of a Roman banquet
which took place about 75 B. C, on the
ninth Calenda of September (mentioned
by Macrobious Book ii., chap, xiii.), ap
pears to be a suitable contribution to
the literature of the season. This sup
per, which corresponded more nearly
with the dinner of modern times, was
given by Lentnlns to celebrate his in
auguration as Flamen Martialls, an of
ficer who ranked among tbe flamines,
second only to the Flamen Dialis. The
company comprised seven of the ponti
fices, Q. Catnlus, M. iEmilus Lepidus,
D. Syllanus, P. Scasvola Sextus, Q. Cor
nelias, P. Voluminius, P, Albinovus, C.
Ctesar and L. Julius Ctesar, the augur.
The party, however, was not confined to
men. There were present four of the
vestals, Popilio, Perpenia, Licinia and
Aruncia, the remaining two of their col
leagues were probably obliged to re
main at the temple to attend the sacred
fires, the wife of Lantilus, Publicia, the
flamincia, and his mother-in-law, Sem
pronia. The pre.ence of the vestals may
occasion some surprise, but their posi
tions were in many respects anomalous.
The honors paid to them were remarka
ble. They were attended by a lictor
when they went out, and even consuls
and governors made way for them. They
enjoyed a fair amount of liberty, and
were allowed to walk abont the city, to
attend theater and gladiatorial exhibi
tions, where the best place was reserved
for them, and they were, as we see,
sometimes at social entertainments.
They were even able, after thirty years'
service as vestals, to unconsecrate them
selves, and to marry. The company at
Lentnlns' was arranged in three tri
clinia, with ivory couches. The ponti
fices occupied two of the triclinia, and
the third was given to the ladies. From
the incumbent position of the guests,
who were said to lie in the bosom of
each other, it would not have been de
corous for the gentlemen to occupy the
same couch with the ladies and it was in
deed, only in the later days of Borne that
the ladies adopted the custom of reclin
ing at table. The repast generally com
menced with the anteccend, for which it
was usual to serve hortodTauvret for the
purpose of stimulating the appetite, bnt
on this occasion the antecaena or gvstalio
contained some dishes which were toler
able solid. Raw oysters, several kinds
of shell fish, thruses, asparagus, fatted
fowls, oyster patties, haunches of a goat
and wild boar, and rich meat made into
patties. For the catna there was pork,
wild boar, fish patties, pork pies, ducks,
teal soup, hares, rich meats roasted,
wheaten cakes and rolls. The conversa
tion is not recorded, but it is hoped
avoided painful and involved subjects,
and confined their discourse to common
topics of every-day life. Notes and

Our Immigrants. There has been a
falling off of about 33 per cent in the
number of immigrants landed at Castle
Garden in the past week, bnt the reports
that reach New York from England show
that there is a stronger tide of immigra
tion setting hitherward from England
than has ever been known before, and
that the class of men coming is made np
of hardy and thrifty Lancashire lads and
farmers whom the Canadian colonial
agents are urging to go to Canada. One
Earty of Lancashire farmers who would
ave gone hither has gone to the remote
wilds of Manitoba. They have property
in England which they will sell to invest
tbe proceeds in developing the resources
of that country. Some intelligent men of
this class recently came over as an ad
vance guard, and, in conversation with
tbe emigration officials here, they say
that, in consequence of the depression of
trade in Lancashire and tbe prospect of a
small crop and a poor harvest, large
numbers of operatives and farmers are
ready- to come to America. They express
surprise that the pay of American labor
era, which to them seems liberal, when bo
many Englishmen at home can get no
work at all, should be made tbe subject
of a strike, and, as for the demand for an
eight-hour law, they say they think that
a man ought to be allowed to work twelve
hours a day if he wants to, and get paid
for it, and to them it seems inconsistent
with the boasted liberty of the country
that a law should be passed limiting a
man's hours of work, any more than a
similar law should be made limiting his
hours of rest. v

Having a severe back ache last winter, I was
induced to try the OREGON KIDNEY TEA. I
found it very beneficial in its result. It was not

"While I was at Tillamook last winter I was
affected in my back and kidneys so that it was
almost impossible for me to reach Portland.
When I got here I was induced to try the ORE
GON KIDNEY TEA. I drank, at my meals,
the tea made from it, and it has effected a radical
cure. I can highly recommend it to all who
were afflicted as I waa. E. COHN.
