I am an old maid, gray, sallow, and wrinkled. Doesn't it surprise you? Yet I-can look back through the dim mists of twenty years and Bee myself as I was then—plump and fair, with blue eyes and chestnut curls. I was an only child, having always known a mother's and a father's love, and until mj' twentieth I never knew what sorrow was. Ai period I went to visit my aunt, who lived in a distant city, and it was there I first met Hugh Chamberlain—a young law student, and an intimate friend of' my cousin Joe's. He was one who seemed born to be loved, for he w.is ham; and til ;, r h sense of honor, heart, and winning manners soon made him a favorite with all. Nor wasitto be it that I, who had lived in the country all my life, and hud seen but few polished men, should fall inlove with Hugh Chamberlain. At first he scarcely noticed me, but after a time my quaint ideas began to at- trad his attention, and then he studied me, :'.nd as unmercifully criticised me as he did one of hia lawbooks ; but he was : 'jus in it all. There was not a knotty question that came across his mind but that he brought it to me. for my opinion, andhis own pro- ductions were laid before me for com- ment, and if be thought he had been too severe in his criticism on my music or drawing, I would find on my table, as a peace offering, a rare picture, or flowers, or something he kuew that I should value. I would have been blind couH I not have seen as the days drifted on that his ngs had strengthened into more than ordinary friendship. I sometimes won- dered what Hugh could have seen in my face or manner to love ; for, although I was pretty and educated, I lacked that polish that life in a city is sure to give. NVould he not be ashamed of mt some- times V I spoke to him about it once, and he pulled my curls, and laughing merrily, exclaimed : " Just listen to Kittio, Joe ; she savs I will be ashamed of her some day, as if I could, tho little apple-blossom. You must get such notions out of her head " " I shall not try," said Joe, " for you have.neglected me shamefully for her;" and yet he putted me on the cheek and congratulated me upon having won the love of such a prime fellow as Hugh— adding that the next time hehad a friend he hoped no curly-headed cousin would come iu tli3 way. We had been engaged about two months, when Hugh received a letter stat- ing that his mother was sick, and asking him to come home immediately. He did so, and while he was gone my aunt re- ceived a letter from the husband of an old friend of hers, who had shortly bafore died, leaving one child. Ha was going to Europe, he wrote. Would she take his little Irene and be a mother to her until he returned ? My aunt consented, and the next week the father and daugh- ter camo ; but judge of my surprise when we found the "little girl" a stylish young rady of eighteen. From, the very first time that 1 looked upon her face a vague, nameless fear seemed to take possession of me, and why, I hardly knew. It may have been that I was jealous and exact- ing, and feared her influence over my lover,|but I was sure there was something sinister in thosa beautiful eyes, and so- cial though she was I could not trust her. She was a born flirt. You could detect it in every movement, andin spito of every caution, Joe fluttered around her like a moth around a candle; and for his pains had his wings 6inged, for Joe was her first conquest. I shall never forget how broken-hearted he looked the next morning after nhe had rejected him. All of the sunshine seemed suddenly to have died out of his life; but there she sat, as cool and composed as if nothing had occurred. It made me angry, and I told her she was the most heartless girl that I had ever seen. She shrugged her pretty shoulders andsaid petualntly, " I could not keep him from loving me." " You did not try." " How do you know ? " " I understand you." " Really," said she sarcastically, then turned up her nose to let me know she GEESE FEATHERS PIKSTQUALITY, ldroi-saltby BACHfr ABEL. thought me very presuming, " I have pome curiosity to see what Hugh, you and your aunt are always talking about. Where is he '( " "In Philadelphia with his mother." " Will he bo here soon ? " " Yes, next week." " You won't allow me to have anything to say to him, will you V "You would even if I did not. But you won't find him as easy to v/iu as Cousin Joe was,'' "Won't I C" said she, going up to the minor und smoothing her hair with as much I as though she thought her face beautiful enough to win any one. And so it would have been had her harmonized with her face, for her hair was a purplish black, long and wav- ing, her eyes a dark blue, heavily shadi d with long, dark lushes, the eyebrows i!»intily arched, the nose small, the lips thin and beautifully curved, and the complexion of a oreamy tint that wo bv-t rarely si s in persons with dark hair. In fact, her face might have been called per- feat, Iml she spoiled it all by her vanity. If there was a mirror in the room, she was sure to put herself in a position so that she could ga/.u upon herself; or, in conversation with any one, she would always bring up a conversation that would tend to have a flattering effect upon herself. I was somewhat amused as I watched her the first night after Hugh's arrival. She sat down to the o uninvited, and dashed off a gay waltz. Then finding she had not gained his attention, she sat down at his side and began to ask him questions. " She is the vainest creature I ever knew," said he, later in the evening, "and I am disgusted with her." I think she read his feelings pretty well, but sho was not to be vanquished, you could tell that by the gleam of her eye. And then he was wealthy and handsome, and she ambitious, with no \ fortune of her own, and she knew Hugh Chamberlain was not to be scoffed at. So she changed her course and assumed all the womanly virtues possible. She studied his nature, andacted accordingly. Was he sad, showas tearful, dumb. Was ho gay, no laugh would ring merrier than her own. Was there a book he liked, she was sure to read it; a study he preferred, she hastily acquired some knowledge of it. Ah, she was a thor- ough flirt; and, young as she was, per- fect in all tho requisites. I do not think Hugh loved me any the less, but he was greatly interested in this stranger, in spite of her follies; and it was with many forebodings that I bade Hugh good-by and prepared to return home. "You will not forget me Hugh?" I asked, as he kissed me. •' Of course not, my apple-blossom." "Well, wear this, then, to remind you of me," said I, unfastening a small en- ameled cross from my watch-chain, and fastening on his own. As if I needed anything to make me think of you," said he kissing me again. You must take good care of her, Joe, and not leave her until she is at home. I wish that I could go with you myself, Kittie, but Chattertou's trial comes off to- morrow, and I could not possibly leave." Aren't yougoing to saygood-by to me?" said Irene, sweeping out of the door in a dainty white dress with white trimmings. Of course I must, after you have tnk'ii the pains to make such an elaborate toilet for the occasion." You are always saying something hateful." But H is the truth, my dear." Come, hush quarreling," said Joe, and he ordered the driver to start. What makes you look so down-heart- ed, ccz '( " said Joe, after he had entered re, " -LiVwici Xvang will ""mke m i s - hiefr"' '• Yes, I know her so well." " I'll watch her." But I knew he was so thoroughly dis- trusted with her, nowthat his eyes were ipened, that I. doubted if he would give her a thought, nomatter what she did. The summer wore on, but in spite of long weekly letters from Hugh I could not feel as light-hearted as formerly A faint shadow seemed hanging over me, rid I knew not why. It was a day early in autumn, a slight rain was falling, and everything looked dismal, and it contributed nothing pleas ..ill so my feelings that it had been two weeks since I hadheard from Hugh, and like most girls who have lovers, I was fretting about it. I had bee.n sitting at the window nearly an hour, thinking of the causes that might prevent him from writing, when I heard the door bell ring. I went down to the door, andthere stood my enemy—Irene. " I am on m v way to visit an old school- mate of mine," said Irene, " and found that I would have to stay here three hours, and so I thought I would run up and see you." For once in my life I was glad to see her, for I knew I would hear of Hugh. " How did you leave aunt?" " Oh, she is well. So are Joe and Hugh." " Did he send any word to me?" "Jfo—why should he? The dear fel- low has his mind so entirely taken up with something else that I do not sup- pose he ever thought of it." "He is unusually busy then." " >To, I did not mean that," said she, looking at me shyly, and then putting up her hands as if to hide her blushing "1 don't understand," said I. "Don't you? How stupid!" And then she came up and whispered in my ear, " Hugh and I are eng iged." "Are you?" said I, dryly for I did not believe her. "Yes," said she, playing with her watch-chain. At that moment my eye caught eight of a small cross among tlie charms on her hain. " What a beautiful pin you have in," said I going up close and pretend ng to examine, so 1 could see if it was ny cross. Yes, the same. I did not ask ler how she got it. It was enough to enow she hadit, and I was too angry to iKjuire ir.to it.or toweigh the truth of her words, but was satisfied I knew the cause of Hugh's silence; andI was very proud, and resolved I would not give him a ;hanco to tell me of what had happened. So, after she left, I went up to my room packed up his letters, and the pictures ind ring he had given to me ; then wrote a note saying that I had been deceived n regard to his character, and had con- ;luded, as I could have no moro faith in lim, to break the engagement. Would le be kind enough to return my letters? Then I directed the puckage to Hugh Chamberlain. Oh, how I dreaded to send it; but I determined to do it if ii killed me. In a few days an answer came. He was perfectly ignorant of my insinuations but he would not force me to an expla- nation. My cross had disappeared; he must have lost it. Would I not let him repUoe it? It is only an excuse to keep from tell ing me tho truth, I thought. He i ashamed to have tho truth known ; and yet Hugh waa always so candid, so hon orable, I can not believe it. I will write once more; but what if it were true thought I, the waves of distrust one more sweeping over me. Should I givi Irene a chance of knowing how much harm she had done me? No. Oh, in the days that followed, what relief it would have been could I hav but told cousin Joe; butI knew he wa hasty, and was afraid ho would want t avenge my wrongs. But I think Joo ha his suspicions; for shortly after, I re cei\od a letter from him saying : " Some thiug is wrong. Hugh is about to em 1 bark for India. Write, or come and pre vent him from going." I believed it a made up plot to work on my feelings, so I wrote back: " Mr. Chamberlain i nothing to me, neither aro his actions." But Hugh went, ;uid for five jeira we heard nothing from them. Then he wrote to Joe that he was married, and in the years that had intervened, I had lost both father and mother. I had also found that h<; had never been engaged to Irene, and had lived iu hopes that he would return; but when I heard he was married, I felt that 1 had nothing to live for. Earth seemed hut r. barren waste of burning sand, and like the weary traveler, I longed for rest. Oh, hard it was to live on, year after year, without any aimor purpose, to see all others so seemingly happy around me, and to know that myown heart was crushed—dead! The death of my parents had left mo wealthy, so I gratified my love of traveling, wandered over Europe and tha Holy Land, and oh, longed to go to India, but why should I? Ho was married, and dead to me. So I came home, and settled down in the ofd homestead, and devoted my time and money to the wants of the poor, and it served in a measure to make me forget my sorrow. The years seemed to roll on at a snail's pace, yet time left its mark ; the brown locks began to be plentifully sprinkled with gray, and my cheeks had lost their rosy hue, for I was no longer young. But the knowledge did not pain me. I' seemed so sweet to know that by and by I should lay down this weary burden, cross iho murky river, and be at rest. I was content to struggle on in the life that had remained, and 1 resolved it should not be an idle one. So I became more devoted to those around me, sought more earnestly to do my duty, and had thanks from the grateful poor, and the smiles from the children, who had learned to call me Auntie. One day I returned from the death- bed of ono of my poor—wet, weary, and saddened with the scene I had just left, and, like " lone," I felt like saying, " Why pass me by ?" The day deepened into twilight, but still I sat with my face in my hands. Thero ca,me a gentle tap at my door. I went to it, and the servant handed me a letter. I rang for lights, and it wos with some curiosity I looked at it, for letters were rare things to me since I had grown old, and still more cu- rious was I when I saw the postmark was India. I tore it open with a girlish tremor. It was from Hugh ; his wife was dead, and on the next steamer he w^iuld return, and once more would see me. Oh, you who have never had your dearest " hopes deferred" can never know what that promise was to me. I was too old to be sentimental, you think. Yes, so I was; but my life had been one long blank, and now that it was to be crowned by the sight of Hugh once more, could I bo blamed 'i And thero I set, gray-headed woman than I was, and cried like a child. Once more I heard freni Hugh in a brief note, saying he would come some time the following day. I wandered about the house in a state of feverish excitement, first going to the door to see if he was coming, then flush- ing painfully when I thought how he would find me changed, forgetting that time had left its mark on himas well as ysfllf. l neara a step on the gravel walk. vent to the door andsaw a tall, portly nan, with a military air, and gray hair nd beard. I hadplanned a number of rays to meet him; but at the sight of dear face that looked so familiar in jite of the changes, the tension of my ielings gave way, and I only knew that e had hold of my hands and was looking own in my face. He spoke no words, ut drew my arm within his own and talked into the house. That evening he told mo of his wife, he was the daughter of an old friend of is father's. Afrail, delicate girl, and er father a consumptive. We all knew his time was short here, nd as I was stationed near him, I was ften with him. ' Poor child ! what will eoome of her when I am gone r 1 ' he vould say. 'I have not a relative to 2nd her to,' and the night ho died he laced her in my care. She was a very ovable girl, and though I did not ove her, I thought we could make each ther happy. So I proposed and was ccepted. For some years we lived very appily, then the cholera began to make is ravages in India, and Adelia was one f its victims. After her death my hought.s wandered back to you, in spite f your cruelty. Kittie, why did you write me that letter 'i How had 1 de- eived you 'i " I was hasty, Hugh, and consequently unjust. But you had not written to me or two weeks, and Irene said you were ngaged to her, and she had the cross had given you. I was tooproud to ask r ou for the truth, soI wrote as I thought lest." " Have you faith in me now Kittio?" "Yes, Hugh." "Why?" " Because I know now that you were lever engaged to her." " Wuuld you be willing to trust me, ven ifI never explained ? " " I would." " But an explanation is due to you, iittio, and I will give it. I did not write because I knew I was coming to ee you the week Irene did, and would not write so I could surprise you. As ou know how false the story of the en- agement with her was, I need say no nore about it. But it. Butthe cross I never gave her. It disappeared very sud- denly, and I thought I had lost it, and jut an advertisement in the paper for its •ecovery. But we both know Irene well •nough to know now that she took it, and for what purpose ? Aro you satis- i, Hugh will you forgive me ?" dly, Kittie, and now, have I mado ;his journey in vain ? Aro you willing ;o put yourself in my care, believing and trusting me for timo and eternity ? " There was a moment's silence, and then I laid my hands in his, and in the deepening twilight I was gathered once more in his arms, and knew that henco- Forth, no matter how hard the battle of lifo was, I should not fight it alone. I commenced this story by saying " I am an old maid;" I should have said was an old maid," for in an hour I shall have lost that name forever, and be Hugh Chamberlain's wife. FOREIGN (JOKRESPONDENUE.

Barton, of Philadel- phia, once himself u judge of the local court, reminded one of his stupid suc- cessors that he had often seen a great ass in judicial robes. "You speak from ex- perience, I suppose ? " was the angry re- tort. " Not at all," was the reply of the witty barrister ; " I am speaking directly from observation." The same terrible satirist was defending the pugilist, An- drew McClain, for his part in the riots of 1844, and Dr. Tom Bunting of this city, swore that McClain had struck him. " Stand up, sir," said Barton to his client. "L»ook at him, gentlemen of the jury! Why, if Andy McClain had hit my good friend, the doctor, thero would not have been enough left of him to roll into one of his own blue pills." PARIS, April 28, 1873. FEIKND POND: These notes are again somowhat be- hind our rapid progress through 'Switzer- nd Eranoe to this grand represen- tative city of the continent, and as we tarry here for some time an opportunity is afforded to bring them up. There wore some things at Milan not referred to before which are far too.noticeable to be omitted even from these hasty sketch- es. Not the least of these is a visit to St. Maria della Gruzie and to that portion of tho old convent attached to this old Abbey Church, which has become so cele- brated by its possession of tho " Last Sup- per," by Lonardo da, Vinci. It is quite at the western extremity of tho city. Passing the sentinel at the gateway (for the monastery is now a cavalry barracks) wo were shown the door which opens directly into the ancient dining roomof the old monks and where, in a state of preservation very much better than we had been led to anticipate, we found the unrivaled fresco, admitted to be tho best ever produced of that remarkable scene. Tho room is perhaps 25 by50 feet in size and some 13 feet in height, and the entire wall at one endis occupied by the world renowned " Cocnaculum," while tho op- posite end is in like manner filled by a "Crucifixion" bearing the date 1195, tho latter being still very fresh and dis- tinct and withal a picture of considerable merit. Great as is the injury which Time and the careless soldiery, who at times have occupied this room, have in- flicted there is no difficulty whatever in iistingnishiug every essential detail of the great work, and though the vivid ex- pression of tho features is not so striking, as it must have once been when the colors fresh and the entire wall surface was unbroken, except by afew occasional ioles like those a bayonet point might ::ave produced, yet the action of the pic- ture was easily traceable, and the various emotions with which each of the twelve ivere affected by the momentous prophecy of our Saviour regarding the betra.y»l are still unmistakably manifest. Copies by the greatest artists have multiplied to such an extent that whatever fate may aefall the original its great merits can never be lost to tho world. Crossing the dazza we looked into tho venerable hurch to see the fine frescoes it contains y Luini, a Madonna bythe same, and a descent from the cross by Carravaggio, all well worth seeing. Not far distant is tho still older church of S. Ambrogio, of the 12th century, as it now appears, but founded several cen- ncs earlier, XT -was in irrrsemnco, max ;he Empress of Germany and tho Lom- bard kings were formerly crowned with ;he celebrated iron crown of Lom- jardy, which Napolecn I. was either superstitious or ambitious enough to have placed with great formality upon his own arow in ISOu. The church possesses sev- eral good pictures and many very old monuments and tombs, that the Emperor Lewis II., A. D., 875, being in front of grand altar. Perhaps the most interest- ng work of art, however, is the decora- tion of the Tribune with mosaics as early as the 9th century, representing scenes from the life of St. Ambrosius, around Christ as the central figure. In the spacious piazza or court, surrounded on three sides by arcades, are some very curi- ous old nioumeuts which might agree- ably occupy an hour if tho traveler's time was not pressing. Passing down ono of the principal streets one day we found ourselves be- hind a long colonnade of 16 Corinthian columns of great antiquity, disconnected with any architectural relations to the adjoining buildings, and faintly recalling some of thoscenes in the old Forum Komanum. This was formerly a portion of the facade to the ancient church of S. Lorenzo, the oldest structure in Milan and supposed onco to have formed part of a temple of the time of the Emperor Maximian. The church itself is now a simple octagon, with a dome, and pre- sents a somewhat singular and yet quite effective appearance inside, with its four semi-circular apsis of two stories sap- ported by columns. The colonnade re- ferred to has been protected against di- lapidation, and preserved simply as a valuable relic of the past, in its some- what conspicuous position upon the pub- lic street. It would bo quite inexcusable to leave his fine city without remarking that its public garden, or park as we are in the abit of calling similar places, is extreme- ly fine, covering a largo space at the northeast end of the city, laid out with irreat skill, with extensive avenues of splendid palm and chestnut trees, fine ehiubbi ry and flowers, small lakes, beau- liful fountains, green lawns, and plenty of seats. Near ono of the entrances tands a noble statue in bronze of the ijreat Italian statesman, Cavour, upon a Lofty white marble pedestal, with the muso of history sitting at his feet and re - cording his name upon her tablets. Of course we did not omit to visit the well known Brera and its really admirable collections. In the court stands tho bronze statue of Napoleon I., somewhat above life sizo, represented as a Roman Emperor. It is tho work of Canova and considered ono of his great productions; but somehow it lacked the classic beauty of his works in marble and at the same time failed to realize the identity of the great emperor as he is known to us in hit, overcoat and chapeau and with his mass- ive and somewhat short figure. Passing by other statues to eminent Italians among them one to Beocaria, the great writer and jurist, wo entered the picture gallery containing over 400 oil painting 3 and numerous frescoes, with more than an ordinary proportion of really meri- torious works. Specimens of nearly a\ the great artists of Italy were on the walls, with several of those always mas- terly portraits which Rembrandt and Vandyke so constantly paintod. The most celebrated picture in tha collection is the famous " Sposalizio" of Raphael, in which th« virgin and Joseph aro wed- ded, standing at tha vestibule of a tem- ple in tho back ground, not a large pic- ture but very beautiful. Ono of the most notceable monuments of the city is the Arcodella Pace, as it is now called, having been originally do- signed by Napoleon I. to commemorate the completion of the celebrated road ever the Simplon, but subsequetly com- pleted and adopted as a suitable memor- ial of the emancipation of Italy in 1859, though many of tho reliefs pertain to the personal history of the Emperor of Franco. Upon the top of the arch is the Goddess of Peace, in her chariot drawn by six horses, all in bronze, and a very spirited and conspicuous group upon that high elevation. The structure is of white marble and well executed, and would well adorn a much more public placo. Tho beautiful monument to Da Vinci the great painter is an admirable work and of large size. On the whole Milan is en- titled to rank high among the most beau- tiful cities of Italy, as it certainly does in its general thrift and business activity take a leading position. We saw in tho public and private grounds there some gorgeous specimens of the Magnolia in full blossom, and the many varieties of shado trees were just showing their first foliage ut green. Having forwarded our baggage to Geneva direct, we took tickets for Turin in time to" reach that city before dark. The train bore us out at first into a rather level plain so cultivated as to allow of its overflow and thoprofitable culture of rice. Shortly afterward we reached Magenta, where, in June, 1859, the Aus- trians were badly defeated by the French and Sardinians, and in commemoration of which event a fine granite monument was erected to Napoleon III., in a con- spicuous place and visible from the train. We crossed the Tieino upon a very long and substantial stone bridge and raw still many traces of the inundation in 1868. The river coming from Lako Maggiore across this level country, with- out any margin of high banks, becomes very wide aS well as impetuous in times of flood, though not in ordinary times much larger than our Huron. Novara is an important station on the road, of some 16,000 inhabitants, and is also dignified by a battle in which the Austriuns de- feated the Peidtnonteso in 1849, a victory not perpetuated by »ny column. We now began to seeconstantly along our right, though many miles distant, the snow capped summits of the Alps, chief Eosa, next to Mont Blanc the highest of these " Heaven kissing hills." Wo crossed thoDora Baltia, a small but noisy tributary of the Po, and would have scarcely paid it the tribute of more than p. passing glance but for tho fact that it comes direetly from the glaciers of the King of mountains, and thus de- mands more particular notice. For sev- eral miles now we ascended the left bank of the P, andthe blue hills from the south began to approach nearer as well as those upon the north, and we neared Turin tho features of the country were quite a contrast to those about Milan, giving to the former much advantage in picturosqueness of situation and varied scenery. With about 180,000 inhabitants—not quite so many as Milan—Turin, is in many respects fully its equal. It was favored as the temporary capital of Italy during the transformation from 1859 to '65, and as such received some advantages as the residence of a court. In the rec- tangular plan of its streets and general regularity it is nearly as admirable as Philadelphia, an uncommon feature of European cities. And the Via di Po, leading from the Piazza Castelo to the ?onto di Po, nearly a mile in length, with an unbroken open arcade upon each side of tho unusually spacious street (not ess than 200 feet wide), is one of tho inest wo have seen anywhere. This street is not unnaturallyniode the center of whatever is attractive in the way of display in show windows and fashionable shops, though in this respect we have seen it excelled elsewhere. For the pur- pose of a general view of the city and its surroundings we crossed the bridge at the foot of this fino street, and climbed ;he precipitous path loading to the lofty eminenco crowned by tho monastery of ;he Capuchius. From tho terrace which extends to the very brow of the hill the prospect, especially toward the north, mbracing tho long chain of the Alps, the summits of many of the higher reach- ing above the clouds, was very extensive and grand, andthe city and the wide reaching plain upon one side, with the winding Po on the other, lay before us spread out like a map. The Cathedral, in the style of the re- naissance, has no great attractions archi- tecturally, but the adjoining Cappella de.1 S. S. Sudario, situated behind the high altar and forming an edifice quite distinct from the Cathedral itself, is quite interesting. It is considerably higher than the pavement of the latter and is approached bya wido flight of steps, tho most apparent connection between the two being a glazed partition through which we could look down tho eutiro nave of the Cathedral. The chapel is circular in form very high and entirely lined with a fine black marble highly finished ,in paneling and other decora- tions. But what gave especial interest to the place and formed itu peculiar charac- teristic was the fact that it is the burial chapel of the Dukes of Savoy, and as such contains many very fine monuments in pure white marble, which by their bold contrast with tho dark marble o: the chapol combined to inako a mos strikingly fine effect. The monuments are all of modern ereotion andby th most eminent artists, with portrait statues of the several members of the dynasty and symbolical figures. The most chastely beautiful and effective of the various sculptures is the sitting figure of tho late queen of Sardinia and wife of Victor Emmanuel, present king of Italy, deceased 1855, reminding one of tho wife of Germanicus in the Vatican, though not at all a copy of that ancient statue. We have nover met with so fitting a mausoloum for tho noble dead as this chapel of dark marble. We visited thoAcademy of. Science which contains also the picture gallery and had the pleasure of seeing over 500 paintings by celebrated artists, some of them being of rare excellence and great reputation. Among these were the children of Charles I., by Vandyke ; the " Madonna della tenda" of Raphael; and " Mary Magdalen washing tho Savioui's feet," by Paul Veronese. One room con- tained copies onporcelain, by Constan- tino, of celebrated originals, and gave.us an opportunity to renew our acquaint- ance with many of our old favorities met at Munich, Florence, and elsewhere The other collections we did not inspect for want of time. Ono of the most extensive and well ar- ranged collections of ancient and medoj- vai weapons and armor we have any- where seen is that in the armory of the Royal Palace at Turin. The collection is made extensive and valuablo by being made the depository of the private collec- tions of many of the ancient families of this portion of Italy. Among theso we find the very horses themselves together with the effigies of their noted riders, all arranged in the idontical trappings, coats of mail and accoutrements, as if once more restored to lifo, caparisoned for the tournamont or for war. Here were also Turkish and Eaat Indian swords of immense value, a sword and shield fashioned by # the cunning hand of Beuvenuto Cellini, a saddle of red velvet once the property of Charles V., the armor used by Prince Eugene at the siege of Turin, the sword worn by Napoleon at tho battlo of Marengo, vari- ous presentation swords, &c, rich in jewels and rare workmauship, together with many curiosities of apparel, weap- ons, &c, &c, which made it a pleasure to examine the collection, especially as the explanations were given by an attendant who did not seem to regard it as an un- pleasant task. There aro manyfinopub- io monuments in the city squares, but all of them are of the present century ind quite recent, though in cominemora- ion of events or individuals of much arlier periods. In fact there is but lit- ile that is old or ancient in Turin, not- withstanding its foundation during the 'iedmont, in a beautiful and healthy ituation, it must continue to increase iu mportance and wealth. Resuming our seats in tho cars April id, with tickets for Geaova, we were soon ushing across the plain which lies bo- ween the city and the mountains at the north, without any appearance of a break depression through which we were to >ass. The apparent width of this plain does not seem more than five or six miles ret we were about two hours in teaching he station, S. Ambrogio at their base. Quite near this station rises almost per- jendicularly a pointed pinnacle of rock, nearly or quite 1,000 feet in height, upon which is perched the Abbey of S. Michele della Chiusa, remarkable for its situation, jut more so because of its tombs, the oc- upants of which do no decompose, but owing to its elevation and atmospheric peculiarities are preserved somewhat ns f embalmed. From this point we fol- owed the valley of the Dora, which for many miles is quite broad and well culti- vated, with the mountains towering up on both sides and gradually drawing nearer together, till at Susa, an ancient Roman town of some 2,000 inhabitants, the valley almost disappeared except as an uneven and broken depression, though every available road still continues to bear the traces of some hardy laborers' attempt to extract a livelihood from the soil. An ancieut triumphal arch is still n good preservation at Susa, erected, ac- ording to the inscription, eight years before our Christian era. The ascending ;rade of the road is clearly indicated by tho fact that we are quite above the city and river. The scenery becomes decid- edly grand and picturesque by turns, and we pass numerous coal trains and quar- ries of building stone, and finally arrive at tho last station before entering tho great tunnel of Mt. Cenis and our car lamps are ominously lighted. We did not ex- perience any discomfort by way of dust and smoke or confined air, but the long time required for the passage, a distance of over eight miles, and the peculiar deafening sensation caused by the tun- nel reverberations becomes anything but enjoyable. On emerging upon the French side we found ourselves quite high above tho valley of the Arc and a busy railway station, to which after a long oircuit we returned and were request- ed to alight for the examination of bag- gage and passports. This in our case was a mere show of authority, for on discover- ing that we were Anglaise, as all English speaking people are called, they did not even look at our passports and marked our baggage with their cabalistic chalk- sign without the annoyance of examina- tion. Not so with the poor Germans. Their baggage and passports had to bear a scrutiny in which no love was display- ed. Once more on the road we now de- scend the valloy of the Arc, not a t first very attractive being rather bleak though sometimes somewhat picturesque, but as we proceed becoming more expanded anc fertile. The Aro falls into the Isere near Chamonsset, and our road follows th much finer valley of the latter for a long distance, passing through frequent vine- yards, in view of several old castlos, anc near the abrupt southern sid^i of Mom Granier, over 6,000 feet high, from which a land-slido took placo many years ago, burying it is said 16villages in its course. Chambray, tho capital of Savoy, is an old city of 20,000 inhabitants, with much appearance of neatness and wealth in many of the villas and grounds as seen from tho cars. It waa at " Lea Char- mettes," just outside this oity, that Rous- seau and Madame Warens rosided for some time. Along the route now, wa noticed tho prevalence of thatches as a covering for the dwellings of tho ootta- gers, but not by any means so picturesque as those in North Germany. Wo skirted along the shore of the beautiful Lake Bourgot for several miles, passing through tho well know watering place Aix-les-bains on its banks, and just at nightfall reached the station at Culoz, where for two long hours we had the great pleasure of waiting for tho Geneva train. As there is nothing whatever to iutercst one in the little village, and the darkness prevented a ramblo up the sides of Mont Calombier, wo spent the time in taking notes of [our fellow travelers, one of whom, a young lady who had traveled much and epoke fluently four or five languages, we found quite agreeable. It was after ten o'clock p. St. when we reached Geneva and we were spoedily delivered at the Hotel de la Poste on the opposite side of the Rhone which rushes out of tho lako as if impatient of its re- straint. Of course we saw nothing of Geneva that night except hurried glimp- aas of the lighted streets and a small pro- portion of the shops still open along tho way. Next day, and in fact during our wholo stay of a week, the weather was sometimes wet andalways, rather cold, and this peculiarity of the weather gives coloring to most of our impressions of the placo. We had anticipated seeing a city of great beauty and of rare interest in its surroundings. All that poets have writ- ten cf the Lake seemed inour imaginings to be necessarily concentrated in Geneva- Tho fact is the city in itself has no groat jeauty. It is solid and substantial in its edifices. Its streets are of good width and clean, and there is no display of squalor or beggary, but it is wanting in noble squares and avenues, beautiful 'ountains, public gardens and fine monu- ments, and its numerous shops fail to er- ite admiration by their display and richness. It would pass as a very fine American city of 50,000 inhabitants, but t was not what wo expected in the rich- est and most populous town of Switzer- and, on oneof the most charming lakes of Europe. Rue du Mont Blanc is noble n width and location, and the quai and jridge of the same name, the latter ;erminating on one side at the English garden, somis-called, are both exceed- ngly fine, and Rousseau's island with its gloomy looking statue of the sophist ia iven picturesque, but similar attractions are not abundant. But in one particular ;hero was left no room for disappoint- ment. Everywhere were signs and tokeiis of the great industry of this plaoo —watch making. On tho main streets and side streets, from basement to attic, this was tho universal appeal to all. It must not, however, be supposed we were unablo to tako some pleasure in the as- sociations which make Geneva historical- y interesting : our misfortune was in the irevalence of bad weather and somewhat erroneous anticipations. But the story of our sight-seeing must bo reserved for another letter. Ever yours, J. M. WHEELEE. The grangers of Bureau County, Illi- nois, meeting in a Republican stronghold, andcr the presidency of a Republican nembor of the Legislature, have matched the Ohio platform in the matter of one of its resolutions. Instead of censuring both political parties as joint authors of their woes, they declare that " the politi- " cal party which for the past thirteen "years has had perfect ana exclusive " control of our State and national af- " fairs, with ample time and power to " remedy all evils and correct all abuses within the scope of governmental ac- tion, if it had so desired or intended, is fully and clearly responsible for tha grievances of which wo [they] com- plain." This is precisely what the Democrats of Ohio said, but coming from the grangers of a Republican county it is one of the most hopeful iitterances of the movement. The Republican leaders have been desirous, if they could not retain the grangers within the party fold, of using tho movement to disintegrate tha Democratic party in the rural districts of the Northwest, trusting toretain power in the scramble. The grangers, however, see plainly where tho responsibility lies, and censure thovery persons who de- serve censure. It was a Republican, not a Democratic, President who packed the Supreme Bench ; a Republican President who gave effect to the shameless salary- steal bill ; a Republican Secretary of War who consummated tho Fort Snelling swindle ; a Republican Cabinet that coun- selled the outrages upon Carolina and Louisiana; a Republican Congress that organized robbery and called it a tariff. Nearer home, it was Republican legisla- tures that swelled the tax-levies of every State in the West and Northwest; Republi- can county treasurers who embezzled or misapplied local funds; Republican Gov- ernors who connived at or shielded such convicted thieves as Rankin, of Iowa; Seeger andMunch, of Minnesota ; and Edmonds, of Michigan. With all this mass of evidence before them it is not at all surprising that the grangers of Illi- nois should discriminate justly in their censure and hold responsible the party which has had the time and power to cor- rect intolerable abuses, but has neither " so desired nor intended."—N. Y. World. TJIE E^OLISH LAW LORDS.—By the death of Lord Westbury the number of ex-Chancellors is now reduced to four, viz.: Lords St. Leonards, Chelmsford, Cairns, and Hatherley. The pension of £5,000 to Lord St. Leonards was granted when the first Derby Ministry left office in Docomber, 1852 ; that of Lord Chelms- ford dated from June, 1859, and was, of course, in abeyance whilst his Lordship resumed the Chancellorship from July, 1866, to February, 1868; that of Lord Cairns was granted in December, 1868, on the resignation of Mr. Disraeli ; and that of Lord Hatherley at tho date of his re- tirement in the autumn of last year. Exclusive of tho present Lord Chancel- lors of England and Ireland, the other law lords aro Lords Colonsay, Penzance, and Romilly, who have at different times resigned the respective posts of Lord Justice General of Scotland, Judge of the Court of Probate and Divorce, and Master of tho Rolls. RACIY ADVEBTISEMEKTS.—There is a firm at Prairie city which gets Demoorat- ic editorials into the Union, the only pa- per published in that place, and which is Republican, by coupling them with ad- vertisements of its business and paying for them. It is rather startling to take up the last number of th.' For in- i, and read: "The last authentio report is that Grant has not yet appoint- ed a successor to S. P. Chase as Chief- Justice.

AS OLD MAID'S STORY.I am an old maid, gray, sallow, and

wrinkled. Doesn't it surprise you? YetI-can look back through the dim mists oftwenty years and Bee myself as I wasthen—plump and fair, with blue eyesand chestnut curls. I was an only child,having always known a mother's and afather's love, and until mj' twentiethI never knew what sorrow was. Aiperiod I went to visit my aunt, wholived in a distant city, and it was there Ifirst met Hugh Chamberlain—a younglaw student, and an intimate friend of'my cousin Joe's. He was one who seemedborn to be loved, for he w.is ham;and til ;,rh sense of honor,heart, and winning manners soon madehim a favorite with all. Nor wasitto be

it that I, who had lived in thecountry all my life, and hud seen butfew polished men, should fall in love withHugh Chamberlain.

At first he scarcely noticed me, butafter a time my quaint ideas began to at-trad his attention, and then he studiedme, :'.nd as unmercifully criticised me ashe did one of hia law books ; but he was

: 'jus in it all.There was not a knotty question that

came across his mind but that he broughtit to me. for my opinion, and his own pro-ductions were laid before me for com-ment, and if be thought he had been toosevere in his criticism on my music ordrawing, I would find on my table, as apeace offering, a rare picture, or flowers,or something he kuew that I shouldvalue.

I would have been blind couH I nothave seen as the days drifted on that his

ngs had strengthened into more thanordinary friendship. I sometimes won-dered what Hugh could have seen in myface or manner to love ; for, although Iwas pretty and educated, I lacked thatpolish that life in a city is sure to give.NVould he not be ashamed of mt some-times V I spoke to him about it once,and he pulled my curls, and laughingmerrily, exclaimed :

" Just listen to Kittio, Joe ; she savs Iwill be ashamed of her some day, as if Icould, tho little apple-blossom. Youmust get such notions out of her head "

" I shall not try," said Joe, " for youhave.neglected me shamefully for her;"and yet he putted me on the cheek andcongratulated me upon having won thelove of such a prime fellow as Hugh—adding that the next time he had a friendhe hoped no curly-headed cousin wouldcome iu tli3 way.

We had been engaged about twomonths, when Hugh received a letter stat-ing that his mother was sick, and askinghim to come home immediately. He didso, and while he was gone my aunt re-ceived a letter from the husband of anold friend of hers, who had shortly baforedied, leaving one child. Ha was goingto Europe, he wrote. Would she takehis little Irene and be a mother to heruntil he returned ? My aunt consented,and the next week the father and daugh-ter camo ; but judge of my surprise whenwe found the "little girl" a stylish youngrady of eighteen. From, the very firsttime that 1 looked upon her face a vague,nameless fear seemed to take possessionof me, and why, I hardly knew. It mayhave been that I was jealous and exact-ing, and feared her influence over mylover,|but I was sure there was somethingsinister in thosa beautiful eyes, and so-cial though she was I could not trusther. She was a born flirt. You coulddetect it in every movement, and in spitoof every caution, Joe fluttered aroundher like a moth around a candle; andfor his pains had his wings 6inged, forJoe was her first conquest. I shall neverforget how broken-hearted he looked thenext morning after nhe had rejected him.All of the sunshine seemed suddenly tohave died out of his life; but there shesat, as cool and composed as if nothinghad occurred. It made me angry, and Itold her she was the most heartless girlthat I had ever seen. She shrugged herpretty shoulders and said petualntly, " Icould not keep him from loving me."

" You did not try."" How do you know ? "" I understand you."" Really," said she sarcastically, then

turned up her nose to let me know she

hair was a purplish black, long and wav-ing, her eyes a dark blue, heavily shadi dwith long, dark lushes, the eyebrowsi!»intily arched, the nose small, the lipsthin and beautifully curved, and thecomplexion of a oreamy tint that wo bv-trarely si s in persons with dark hair. Infact, her face might have been called per-feat, Iml she spoiled it all by her vanity.If there was a mirror in the room, shewas sure to put herself in a position sothat she could ga/.u upon herself; or, inconversation with any one, she wouldalways bring up a conversation thatwould tend to have a flattering effectupon herself. I was somewhat amusedas I watched her the first night afterHugh's arrival. She sat down to the

• o uninvited, and dashed off a gaywaltz. Then finding she had not gainedhis attention, she sat down at his sideand began to ask him questions.

" She is the vainest creature I everknew," said he, later in the evening, "andI am disgusted with her."

I think she read his feelings prettywell, but sho was not to be vanquished,you could tell that by the gleam of hereye. And then he was wealthy andhandsome, and she ambitious, with no \fortune of her own, and she knew HughChamberlain was not to be scoffed at.So she changed her course and assumedall the womanly virtues possible. Shestudied his nature, and acted accordingly.Was he sad, sho was tearful, dumb. Washo gay, no laugh would ring merrierthan her own. Was there a book heliked, she was sure to read it; a study hepreferred, she hastily acquired someknowledge of it. Ah, she was a thor-ough flirt; and, young as she was, per-fect in all tho requisites.

I do not think Hugh loved me any theless, but he was greatly interested in thisstranger, in spite of her follies; and itwas with many forebodings that I badeHugh good-by and prepared to returnhome.

"You will not forget me Hugh?" Iasked, as he kissed me.

•' Of course not, my apple-blossom.""Well, wear this, then, to remind you

of me," said I, unfastening a small en-ameled cross from my watch-chain, andfastening on his own.

As if I needed anything to make methink of you," said he kissing me again.

You must take good care of her, Joe,and not leave her until she is at home.I wish that I could go with you myself,Kittie, but Chattertou's trial comes off to-morrow, and I could not possibly leave."

Aren't you going to say good-by tome?" said Irene, sweeping out of thedoor in a dainty white dress with whitetrimmings.

Of course I must, after you havetnk'ii the pains to make such an elaboratetoilet for the occasion."

You are always saying somethinghateful."

But H is the truth, my dear."Come, hush quarreling," said Joe,

and he ordered the driver to start.What makes you look so down-heart-

ed, ccz '( " said Joe, after he had enteredre, " -LiVwici Xvang will ""mke mis-

hiefr"''• Yes, I know her so well."" I'll watch her."But I knew he was so thoroughly dis-

trusted with her, now that his eyes wereipened, that I. doubted if he would giveher a thought, no matter what she did.

The summer wore on, but in spite oflong weekly letters from Hugh I couldnot feel as light-hearted as formerly Afaint shadow seemed hanging over me,rid I knew not why.It was a day early in autumn, a slight

rain was falling, and everything lookeddismal, and it contributed nothing pleas..ill so my feelings that it had been twoweeks since I had heard from Hugh, andlike most girls who have lovers, I wasfretting about it. I had bee.n sitting atthe window nearly an hour, thinking ofthe causes that might prevent him fromwriting, when I heard the door bell ring.I went down to the door, and there stoodmy enemy—Irene.

" I am on m v way to visit an old school-mate of mine," said Irene, " and foundthat I would have to stay here threehours, and so I thought I would run upand see you."

For once in my life I was glad to seeher, for I knew I would hear of Hugh.

" How did you leave aunt?"" Oh, she is well. So are Joe and

Hugh."" Did he send any word to me?""Jfo—why should he? The dear fel-

low has his mind so entirely taken upwith something else that I do not sup-pose he ever thought of it."

"He is unusually busy then."" >To, I did not mean that," said she,

looking at me shyly, and then puttingup her hands as if to hide her blushing

"1 don't understand," said I."Don't you? How stupid!" And

then she came up and whispered in myear, " Hugh and I are eng iged."

"Are you?" said I, dryly for I didnot believe her.

"Yes," said she, playing with herwatch-chain.

At that moment my eye caught eightof a small cross among tlie charms on herhain. " What a beautiful pin you havein," said I going up close and pretendng to examine, so 1 could see if it wasny cross. Yes, the same. I did not askler how she got it. It was enough toenow she had it, and I was too angry toiKjuire ir.to it.or to weigh the truth of her

words, but was satisfied I knew the causeof Hugh's silence; and I was very proud,and resolved I would not give him a;hanco to tell me of what had happened.So, after she left, I went up to my roompacked up his letters, and the picturesind ring he had given to me ; then wrotea note saying that I had been deceivedn regard to his character, and had con-;luded, as I could have no moro faith inlim, to break the engagement. Wouldle be kind enough to return my letters?

Then I directed the puckage to HughChamberlain. Oh, how I dreaded tosend it; but I determined to do it if iikilled me.

In a few days an answer came. Hewas perfectly ignorant of my insinuationsbut he would not force me to an expla-nation. My cross had disappeared; hemust have lost it. Would I not let himrepUoe it?

It is only an excuse to keep from telling me tho truth, I thought. He iashamed to have tho truth known ; andyet Hugh waa always so candid, so honorable, I can not believe it. I will writeonce more; but what if it were truethought I, the waves of distrust onemore sweeping over me. Should I giviIrene a chance of knowing how muchharm she had done me? No.

Oh, in the days that followed, whatrelief it would have been could I havbut told cousin Joe; but I knew he wahasty, and was afraid ho would want tavenge my wrongs. But I think Joo hahis suspicions; for shortly after, I recei\od a letter from him saying : " Somethiug is wrong. Hugh is about to em

1 bark for India. Write, or come and pre

vent him from going." I believed it amade up plot to work on my feelings, soI wrote back: " Mr. Chamberlain inothing to me, neither aro his actions."

But Hugh went, ;uid for five jeira weheard nothing from them. Then hewrote to Joe that he was married, andin the years that had intervened, I hadlost both father and mother. I had alsofound that h<; had never been engaged toIrene, and had lived iu hopes that hewould return; but when I heard he wasmarried, I felt that 1 had nothing tolive for. Earth seemed hut r. barrenwaste of burning sand, and like the wearytraveler, I longed for rest.

Oh, hard it was to live on, year afteryear, without any aim or purpose, to seeall others so seemingly happy around me,and to know that my own heart wascrushed—dead! The death of my parentshad left mo wealthy, so I gratified mylove of traveling, wandered over Europeand tha Holy Land, and oh, longed togo to India, but why should I? Ho wasmarried, and dead to me.

So I came home, and settled down inthe ofd homestead, and devoted my timeand money to the wants of the poor, andit served in a measure to make me forgetmy sorrow. The years seemed to roll onat a snail's pace, yet time left its mark ;the brown locks began to be plentifullysprinkled with gray, and my cheeks hadlost their rosy hue, for I was no longeryoung. But the knowledge did not painme. I ' seemed so sweet to know that byand by I should lay down this wearyburden, cross iho murky river, and be atrest. I was content to struggle on in thelife that had remained, and 1 resolved itshould not be an idle one. So I becamemore devoted to those around me, soughtmore earnestly to do my duty, and hadthanks from the grateful poor, and thesmiles from the children, who had learnedto call me Auntie.

One day I returned from the death-bed of ono of my poor—wet, weary, andsaddened with the scene I had just left,and, like " lone," I felt like saying," Why pass me by ?" The day deepenedinto twilight, but still I sat with my facein my hands. Thero ca,me a gentle tapat my door. I went to it, and the servanthanded me a letter. I rang for lights,and it wos with some curiosity I lookedat it, for letters were rare things to mesince I had grown old, and still more cu-rious was I when I saw the postmark wasIndia. I tore it open with a girlishtremor. It was from Hugh ; his wifewas dead, and on the next steamer hew^iuld return, and once more wouldsee me.

Oh, you who have never had yourdearest " hopes deferred" can neverknow what that promise was to me. I wastoo old to be sentimental, you think.Yes, so I was; but my life had been onelong blank, and now that it was to becrowned by the sight of Hugh once more,could I bo blamed 'i And thero I set,gray-headed woman than I was, andcried like a child.

Once more I heard freni Hugh in abrief note, saying he would come sometime the following day.

I wandered about the house in a stateof feverish excitement, first going to thedoor to see if he was coming, then flush-ing painfully when I thought how hewould find me changed, forgetting thattime had left its mark on him as well as

ysfllf.l neara a step on the gravel walk.

vent to the door and saw a tall, portlynan, with a military air, and gray hairnd beard. I had planned a number ofrays to meet him; but at the sight of

dear face that looked so familiar injite of the changes, the tension of myielings gave way, and I only knew thate had hold of my hands and was lookingown in my face. He spoke no words,ut drew my arm within his own andtalked into the house.That evening he told mo of his wife,

he was the daughter of an old friend ofis father's. A frail, delicate girl, ander father a consumptive.

We all knew his time was short here,nd as I was stationed near him, I wasften with him. ' Poor child ! what willeoome of her when I am gone r1' hevould say. ' I have not a relative to2nd her to,' and the night ho died helaced her in my care. She was a veryovable girl, and though I did notove her, I thought we could make eachther happy. So I proposed and wasccepted. For some years we lived veryappily, then the cholera began to makeis ravages in India, and Adelia was onef its victims. After her death myhought.s wandered back to you, in spitef your cruelty. Kittie, why did you

write me that letter 'i How had 1 de-eived you 'i "

I was hasty, Hugh, and consequentlyunjust. But you had not written to meor two weeks, and Irene said you werengaged to her, and she had the crosshad given you. I was too proud to ask

rou for the truth, so I wrote as I thoughtlest."

" Have you faith in me now Kittio?""Yes, Hugh.""Why?"" Because I know now that you were

lever engaged to her."" Wuuld you be willing to trust me,

ven if I never explained ? "" I would."" But an explanation is due to you,

iittio, and I will give it. I did notwrite because I knew I was coming toee you the week Irene did, and would

not write so I could surprise you. Asou know how false the story of the en-agement with her was, I need say no

nore about it. But it. But the cross Inever gave her. It disappeared very sud-denly, and I thought I had lost it, andjut an advertisement in the paper for its•ecovery. But we both know Irene well•nough to know now that she took it,and for what purpose ? Aro you satis-

i, Hugh will you forgive me ?"dly, Kittie, and now, have I mado

;his journey in vain ? Aro you willing;o put yourself in my care, believing andtrusting me for timo and eternity ? "

There was a moment's silence, andthen I laid my hands in his, and in thedeepening twilight I was gathered oncemore in his arms, and knew that henco-Forth, no matter how hard the battle oflifo was, I should not fight it alone.

I commenced this story by saying " Iam an old maid;" I should have said

was an old maid," for in an hour Ishall have lost that name forever, and beHugh Chamberlain's wife.

ANECDOTES OF A WITTY BARRISTER.—The late George W. Barton, of Philadel-phia, once himself u judge of the localcourt, reminded one of his stupid suc-cessors that he had often seen a great assin judicial robes. "You speak from ex-perience, I suppose ? " was the angry re-tort. " Not at all," was the reply of thewitty barrister ; " I am speaking directlyfrom observation." The same terriblesatirist was defending the pugilist, An-drew McClain, for his part in the riots of1844, and Dr. Tom Bunting of this city,swore that McClain had struck him." Stand up, sir," said Barton to his client."L»ook at him, gentlemen of the jury!Why, if Andy McClain had hit my goodfriend, the doctor, thero would not havebeen enough left of him to roll into oneof his own blue pills."

PARIS, April 28, 1873.FEIKND POND:

These notes are again somowhat be-hind our rapid progress through 'Switzer-

nd Eranoe to this grand represen-tative city of the continent, and as wetarry here for some time an opportunityis afforded to bring them up. Therewore some things at Milan not referredto before which are far too.noticeable tobe omitted even from these hasty sketch-es. Not the least of these is a visit to St.Maria della Gruzie and to that portion oftho old convent attached to this oldAbbey Church, which has become so cele-brated by its possession of tho " Last Sup-per," by Lonardo da, Vinci. It is quiteat the western extremity of tho city.Passing the sentinel at the gateway (forthe monastery is now a cavalry barracks)wo were shown the door which opensdirectly into the ancient dining room ofthe old monks and where, in a state ofpreservation very much better than wehad been led to anticipate, we found theunrivaled fresco, admitted to be tho bestever produced of that remarkable scene.Tho room is perhaps 25 by 50 feet in sizeand some 13 feet in height, and the entirewall at one end is occupied by the worldrenowned " Cocnaculum," while tho op-posite end is in like manner filled by a"Crucifixion" bearing the date 1195,tho latter being still very fresh and dis-tinct and withal a picture of considerablemerit. Great as is the injury whichTime and the careless soldiery, who attimes have occupied this room, have in-flicted there is no difficulty whatever iniistingnishiug every essential detail ofthe great work, and though the vivid ex-pression of tho features is not so striking,as it must have once been when the colors

fresh and the entire wall surfacewas unbroken, except by a few occasionalioles like those a bayonet point might::ave produced, yet the action of the pic-ture was easily traceable, and the variousemotions with which each of the twelveivere affected by the momentous prophecyof our Saviour regarding the betra.y»l arestill unmistakably manifest. Copies bythe greatest artists have multiplied tosuch an extent that whatever fate mayaefall the original its great merits cannever be lost to tho world. Crossing thedazza we looked into tho venerablehurch to see the fine frescoes it containsy Luini, a Madonna by the same, and a

descent from the cross by Carravaggio, allwell worth seeing.

Not far distant is tho still older churchof S. Ambrogio, of the 12th century, as itnow appears, but founded several cen-

ncs earlier, XT -was in irrrsemnco, max;he Empress of Germany and tho Lom-bard kings were formerly crowned with;he celebrated iron crown of Lom-jardy, which Napolecn I. was eithersuperstitious or ambitious enough to haveplaced with great formality upon his ownarow in ISOu. The church possesses sev-eral good pictures and many very oldmonuments and tombs, that the EmperorLewis II., A. D., 875, being in front ofgrand altar. Perhaps the most interest-ng work of art, however, is the decora-

tion of the Tribune with mosaics as earlyas the 9th century, representing scenesfrom the life of St. Ambrosius, aroundChrist as the central figure. In thespacious piazza or court, surrounded onthree sides by arcades, are some very curi-ous old nioumeuts which might agree-ably occupy an hour if tho traveler'stime was not pressing.

Passing down ono of the principalstreets one day we found ourselves be-hind a long colonnade of 16 Corinthiancolumns of great antiquity, disconnectedwith any architectural relations to theadjoining buildings, and faintly recallingsome of tho scenes in the old ForumKomanum. This was formerly a portionof the facade to the ancient church of S.Lorenzo, the oldest structure in Milanand supposed onco to have formed part ofa temple of the time of the EmperorMaximian. The church itself is now asimple octagon, with a dome, and pre-sents a somewhat singular and yet quiteeffective appearance inside, with its foursemi-circular apsis of two stories sap-ported by columns. The colonnade re-ferred to has been protected against di-lapidation, and preserved simply as avaluable relic of the past, in its some-what conspicuous position upon the pub-lic street.

It would bo quite inexcusable to leavehis fine city without remarking that itspublic garden, or park as we are in theabit of calling similar places, is extreme-

ly fine, covering a largo space at thenortheast end of the city, laid out withirreat skill, with extensive avenues ofsplendid palm and chestnut trees, fineehiubbi ry and flowers, small lakes, beau-liful fountains, green lawns, and plentyof seats. Near ono of the entrancestands a noble statue in bronze of theijreat Italian statesman, Cavour, upon aLofty white marble pedestal, with themuso of history sitting at his feet and re -cording his name upon her tablets. Ofcourse we did not omit to visit the wellknown Brera and its really admirablecollections. In the court stands thobronze statue of Napoleon I., somewhatabove life sizo, represented as a RomanEmperor. I t is tho work of Canova andconsidered ono of his great productions;but somehow it lacked the classic beautyof his works in marble and at the sametime failed to realize the identity of thegreat emperor as he is known to us in hit,overcoat and chapeau and with his mass-ive and somewhat short figure. Passingby other statues to eminent Italiansamong them one to Beocaria, the greatwriter and jurist, wo entered the picturegallery containing over 400 oil painting3

and numerous frescoes, with more thanan ordinary proportion of really meri-torious works. Specimens of nearly a\the great artists of Italy were on the

walls, with several of those always mas-terly portraits which Rembrandt andVandyke so constantly paintod. Themost celebrated picture in tha collectionis the famous " Sposalizio" of Raphael,in which th« virgin and Joseph aro wed-ded, standing at tha vestibule of a tem-ple in tho back ground, not a large pic-ture but very beautiful.

Ono of the most notceable monumentsof the city is the Arcodella Pace, as it isnow called, having been originally do-signed by Napoleon I. to commemoratethe completion of the celebrated roadever the Simplon, but subsequetly com-pleted and adopted as a suitable memor-ial of the emancipation of Italy in 1859,though many of tho reliefs pertain to thepersonal history of the Emperor ofFranco. Upon the top of the arch is theGoddess of Peace, in her chariot drawnby six horses, all in bronze, and a veryspirited and conspicuous group upon thathigh elevation. The structure is of whitemarble and well executed, and wouldwell adorn a much more public placo.Tho beautiful monument to Da Vinci thegreat painter is an admirable work andof large size. On the whole Milan is en-titled to rank high among the most beau-tiful cities of Italy, as it certainly does inits general thrift and business activitytake a leading position. We saw in thopublic and private grounds there somegorgeous specimens of the Magnolia infull blossom, and the many varieties ofshado trees were just showing their firstfoliage ut green.

Having forwarded our baggage toGeneva direct, we took tickets for Turinin time to" reach that city before dark.The train bore us out at first into a ratherlevel plain so cultivated as to allow of itsoverflow and tho profitable culture ofrice. Shortly afterward we reachedMagenta, where, in June, 1859, the Aus-trians were badly defeated by the Frenchand Sardinians, and in commemorationof which event a fine granite monumentwas erected to Napoleon III., in a con-spicuous place and visible from the train.We crossed the Tieino upon a very longand substantial stone bridge and rawstill many traces of the inundation in1868. The river coming from LakoMaggiore across this level country, with-out any margin of high banks, becomesvery wide aS well as impetuous in timesof flood, though not in ordinary timesmuch larger than our Huron. Novara isan important station on the road, of some16,000 inhabitants, and is also dignifiedby a battle in which the Austriuns de-feated the Peidtnonteso in 1849, a victorynot perpetuated by »ny column. Wenow began to see constantly along ourright, though many miles distant, thesnow capped summits of the Alps, chief

Eosa, next to Mont Blanc the highest ofthese " Heaven kissing hills." Wocrossed tho Dora Baltia, a small butnoisy tributary of the Po, and wouldhave scarcely paid it the tribute of morethan p. passing glance but for tho factthat it comes direetly from the glaciersof the King of mountains, and thus de-mands more particular notice. For sev-eral miles now we ascended the left bankof the P, and the blue hills from thesouth began to approach nearer as wellas those upon the north, and we nearedTurin tho features of the country werequite a contrast to those about Milan,giving to the former much advantage inpicturosqueness of situation and variedscenery.

With about 180,000 inhabitants—notquite so many as Milan—Turin, is inmany respects fully its equal. It wasfavored as the temporary capital of Italyduring the transformation from 1859 to'65, and as such received some advantagesas the residence of a court. In the rec-tangular plan of its streets and generalregularity it is nearly as admirable asPhiladelphia, an uncommon feature ofEuropean cities. And the Via di Po,leading from the Piazza Castelo to the?onto di Po, nearly a mile in length,with an unbroken open arcade upon eachside of tho unusually spacious street (notess than 200 feet wide), is one of thoinest wo have seen anywhere. Thisstreet is not unnaturallyniode the centerof whatever is attractive in the way ofdisplay in show windows and fashionableshops, though in this respect we haveseen it excelled elsewhere. For the pur-pose of a general view of the city and itssurroundings we crossed the bridge atthe foot of this fino street, and climbed;he precipitous path loading to the loftyeminenco crowned by tho monastery of;he Capuchius. From tho terrace whichextends to the very brow of the hill theprospect, especially toward the north,mbracing tho long chain of the Alps,

the summits of many of the higher reach-ing above the clouds, was very extensiveand grand, and the city and the widereaching plain upon one side, with thewinding Po on the other, lay before usspread out like a map.

The Cathedral, in the style of the re-naissance, has no great attractions archi-tecturally, but the adjoining Cappellade.1 S. S. Sudario, situated behind thehigh altar and forming an edifice quitedistinct from the Cathedral itself, is quiteinteresting. It is considerably higherthan the pavement of the latter and isapproached by a wido flight of steps, thomost apparent connection between thetwo being a glazed partition throughwhich we could look down tho eutironave of the Cathedral. The chapel iscircular in form very high and entirelylined with a fine black marble highlyfinished ,in paneling and other decora-tions. But what gave especial interest tothe place and formed itu peculiar charac-teristic was the fact that it is the burialchapel of the Dukes of Savoy, and assuch contains many very fine monumentsin pure white marble, which by theirbold contrast with tho dark marble o:the chapol combined to inako a mosstrikingly fine effect. The monumentsare all of modern ereotion and by th

most eminent artists, with portraitstatues of the several members of thedynasty and symbolical figures. Themost chastely beautiful and effective ofthe various sculptures is the sitting figureof tho late queen of Sardinia and wife ofVictor Emmanuel, present king of Italy,deceased 1855, reminding one of tho wifeof Germanicus in the Vatican, thoughnot at all a copy of that ancient statue.We have nover met with so fitting amausoloum for tho noble dead as thischapel of dark marble.

We visited tho Academy of. Sciencewhich contains also the picture galleryand had the pleasure of seeing over 500paintings by celebrated artists, some ofthem being of rare excellence and greatreputation. Among these were thechildren of Charles I., by Vandyke ; the" Madonna della tenda" of Raphael; and" Mary Magdalen washing tho Savioui'sfeet," by Paul Veronese. One room con-tained copies on porcelain, by Constan-tino, of celebrated originals, and gave.usan opportunity to renew our acquaint-ance with many of our old favorities metat Munich, Florence, and elsewhereThe other collections we did not inspectfor want of time.

Ono of the most extensive and well ar-ranged collections of ancient and medoj-vai weapons and armor we have any-where seen is that in the armory of theRoyal Palace at Turin. The collectionis made extensive and valuablo by beingmade the depository of the private collec-tions of many of the ancient families ofthis portion of Italy. Among theso wefind the very horses themselves togetherwith the effigies of their noted riders, allarranged in the idontical trappings,coats of mail and accoutrements, as ifonce more restored to lifo, caparisonedfor the tournamont or for war. Herewere also Turkish and Eaat Indianswords of immense value, a sword andshield fashioned by# the cunning hand ofBeuvenuto Cellini, a saddle of red velvetonce the property of Charles V., thearmor used by Prince Eugene at thesiege of Turin, the sword worn byNapoleon at tho battlo of Marengo, vari-ous presentation swords, &c, rich injewels and rare workmauship, togetherwith many curiosities of apparel, weap-ons, &c, &c, which made it a pleasure toexamine the collection, especially as theexplanations were given by an attendantwho did not seem to regard it as an un-pleasant task. There aro many fino pub-io monuments in the city squares, but

all of them are of the present centuryind quite recent, though in cominemora-ion of events or individuals of mucharlier periods. In fact there is but lit-ile that is old or ancient in Turin, not-withstanding its foundation during the

'iedmont, in a beautiful and healthyituation, it must continue to increase iumportance and wealth.

Resuming our seats in tho cars Aprilid, with tickets for Geaova, we were soonushing across the plain which lies bo-ween the city and the mountains at the

north, without any appearance of a breakdepression through which we were to

>ass. The apparent width of this plaindoes not seem more than five or six milesret we were about two hours in teachinghe station, S. Ambrogio at their base.

Quite near this station rises almost per-jendicularly a pointed pinnacle of rock,nearly or quite 1,000 feet in height, uponwhich is perched the Abbey of S. Micheledella Chiusa, remarkable for its situation,jut more so because of its tombs, the oc-upants of which do no decompose, but

owing to its elevation and atmosphericpeculiarities are preserved somewhat nsf embalmed. From this point we fol-owed the valley of the Dora, which for

many miles is quite broad and well culti-vated, with the mountains towering upon both sides and gradually drawingnearer together, till at Susa, an ancientRoman town of some 2,000 inhabitants,the valley almost disappeared except asan uneven and broken depression, thoughevery available road still continues tobear the traces of some hardy laborers'attempt to extract a livelihood from thesoil. An ancieut triumphal arch is stilln good preservation at Susa, erected, ac-ording to the inscription, eight years

before our Christian era. The ascending;rade of the road is clearly indicated by

tho fact that we are quite above the cityand river. The scenery becomes decid-edly grand and picturesque by turns, andwe pass numerous coal trains and quar-ries of building stone, and finally arrive attho last station before entering tho greattunnel of Mt. Cenis and our car lampsare ominously lighted. We did not ex-perience any discomfort by way of dustand smoke or confined air, but the longtime required for the passage, a distanceof over eight miles, and the peculiardeafening sensation caused by the tun-nel reverberations becomes anything butenjoyable. On emerging upon theFrench side we found ourselves quitehigh above tho valley of the Arc and abusy railway station, to which after along oircuit we returned and were request-ed to alight for the examination of bag-gage and passports. This in our case wasa mere show of authority, for on discover-ing that we were Anglaise, as all Englishspeaking people are called, they did noteven look at our passports and markedour baggage with their cabalistic chalk-sign without the annoyance of examina-tion. Not so with the poor Germans.

Their baggage and passports had to beara scrutiny in which no love was display-ed.

Once more on the road we now de-scend the valloy of the Arc, not a t firstvery attractive being rather bleak thoughsometimes somewhat picturesque, but aswe proceed becoming more expanded ancfertile. The Aro falls into the Isere nearChamonsset, and our road follows thmuch finer valley of the latter for a longdistance, passing through frequent vine-yards, in view of several old castlos, ancnear the abrupt southern sid i of Mom

Granier, over 6,000 feet high, from whicha land-slido took placo many years ago,burying it is said 16 villages in its course.Chambray, tho capital of Savoy, is anold city of 20,000 inhabitants, with muchappearance of neatness and wealth inmany of the villas and grounds as seenfrom tho cars. I t waa at " Lea Char-mettes," just outside this oity, that Rous-seau and Madame Warens rosided forsome time. Along the route now, wanoticed tho prevalence of thatches as acovering for the dwellings of tho ootta-gers, but not by any means so picturesqueas those in North Germany. Wo skirtedalong the shore of the beautiful LakeBourgot for several miles, passingthrough tho well know watering placeAix-les-bains on its banks, and just atnightfall reached the station at Culoz,where for two long hours we had thegreat pleasure of waiting for tho Genevatrain. As there is nothing whatever toiutercst one in the little village, and thedarkness prevented a ramblo up the sidesof Mont Calombier, wo spent the time intaking notes of [our fellow travelers, oneof whom, a young lady who had traveledmuch and epoke fluently four or fivelanguages, we found quite agreeable.

I t was after ten o'clock p. St. when wereached Geneva and we were spoedilydelivered at the Hotel de la Poste on theopposite side of the Rhone which rushesout of tho lako as if impatient of its re-straint. Of course we saw nothing ofGeneva that night except hurried glimp-aas of the lighted streets and a small pro-portion of the shops still open along thoway. Next day, and in fact during ourwholo stay of a week, the weather wassometimes wet and always, rather cold,and this peculiarity of the weather givescoloring to most of our impressions of theplaco. We had anticipated seeing a cityof great beauty and of rare interest in itssurroundings. All that poets have writ-ten cf the Lake seemed in our imaginingsto be necessarily concentrated in Geneva-Tho fact is the city in itself has no groat

The grangers of Bureau County, Illi-nois, meeting in a Republican stronghold,andcr the presidency of a Republicannembor of the Legislature, have matchedthe Ohio platform in the matter of one ofits resolutions. Instead of censuringboth political parties as joint authors oftheir woes, they declare that " the politi-" cal party which for the past thirteen"years has had perfect ana exclusive" control of our State and national af-" fairs, with ample time and power to" remedy all evils and correct all abuses

within the scope of governmental ac-tion, if it had so desired or intended, isfully and clearly responsible for thagrievances of which wo [they] com-plain." This is precisely what the

Democrats of Ohio said, but coming fromthe grangers of a Republican county it isone of the most hopeful iitterances of themovement. The Republican leaders havebeen desirous, if they could not retainthe grangers within the party fold, ofusing tho movement to disintegrate thaDemocratic party in the rural districts ofthe Northwest, trusting to retain powerin the scramble. The grangers, however,see plainly where tho responsibility lies,and censure tho very persons who de-serve censure. I t was a Republican, nota Democratic, President who packed theSupreme Bench ; a Republican Presidentwho gave effect to the shameless salary-steal bill ; a Republican Secretary ofWar who consummated tho Fort Snellingswindle ; a Republican Cabinet that coun-selled the outrages upon Carolina andLouisiana; a Republican Congress thatorganized robbery and called it a tariff.Nearer home, it was Republican legisla-tures that swelled the tax-levies of everyState in the West and Northwest; Republi-can county treasurers who embezzled ormisapplied local funds; Republican Gov-ernors who connived at or shielded suchconvicted thieves as Rankin, of Iowa;Seeger and Munch, of Minnesota ; andEdmonds, of Michigan. With all thismass of evidence before them it is not atall surprising that the grangers of Illi-nois should discriminate justly in theircensure and hold responsible the partywhich has had the time and power to cor-rect intolerable abuses, but has neither" so desired nor intended."—N.

To llir. benediction which I give withnil njy lieiut to tlii> bishops who havobeen prucogniaed and to the people whouro confulud to their care, tor whom ihave Celebrated this morning the divinesacrifice, I desire to mid some wordswhich will bo to nil a wholesome uiom-oiy.

!St. John tiie Baptist, in the simple de-sire ol' iuilighU>niug his disoiples as to thetrue Messiah, sent some 01 them to thedivine tledeemer, charging them to de-mand of him it In: wciv the tin.' Messiah.What answered Jesus? He did not say," [ am he." No; but he made this re-sponse : Say to John that the blind see,that the deaf hear, that the lame walk,that the dead-are raised up, and that tuepoor have the gospel. He wished to sayby all this that his- works justified hisdivine mission, and that he was verilythe true Messiah.

I ex hoi*, you, oh clear brothers, to fol-low this mblitne example, and to act al-ways i>v such a way that you may bekuownto be bishops by the sanctity ofyour conduct and the holiness of yourwords. In thus conducting yourselveshave no doubt the people will recog-nize you upon the instant, and will ro-Cfcivfl you with the most profound joy andwith the afl'ection of devoted children.

'.F-he?e is a certain class of people whoverv certainly will say to you, " Who areyon f" It is to this class, more than to anyOther, that it is necessary to respond withdeeds and by examples. This class, who,by the permission of God, find themselvesnow in high places, will annoy you andprevent you from taking that which be-longs lo ou ; will often oppose the exer-cise of episcopal juribdiction, and willInanifost in different ways then- bagainst the liberty of the Church. Letyour conduct towards this class of per-sons be always inspired by charity andgentleness ; but if this should not suffice,arm yourselves with courage and zeal,and learn to repeat with this same Johnthe Baptist, and with the same firmnessthat lie employed, Non licet I

Fe»r nothing ! God is with you, and he•will always give you the stiength andvigor n< eossaiy to enable you to defendthe rights of the Church.

At !h^ moment a struggle is going onbetween some Lii-hups and a CatholicAmerican government. The Freema-

hsons, who havo penetrated everywhere,»ro there, and, not content with sittingnmong the councillors of the sovereign,they Lave introduced themselves into thopious associations, such as the confratern-ities. There they havo sought to make itappear that the Freemasons of this partyin America are not at all like those ofKurope, but aro simply a charitable so-ciety. Deceitful assertion! In Americathe Freemasons are not less excommuni-cated and anathematized than these else-where. But. in aid of this deceit, theyhave attempted to display themselves inthe administration of our pious works ;and now that the bishops say, with holyJohn the Baptist, non licet, they cry out,threaten, create agitation, and as is theircustom, go so far as to put iu peril theChurch and tho throne.

I recommend you, very dear brothers,to cry out in time in every case when un-just pretensions are put forward; to liftup ypnf voice and to speak boldly, nunlicet! Fear nothing, for, I repeat it to.you, (Jod is with you and shall be withyou, even under strokes of persecution, asmay see clearly by what has arrived totkwe bishops ot whom I havo Bpoken,and who have f-poken, and who havo re-risted with'courage and immovabliness tbcsu iniquitous pretensions. Unit-ed in heait and soul let us engage in theniunt noble of combats, that iu which woeuguge for the glory of God, for therights of thu Church, and to preserve tileWhole human family lroru the dangerswhich menace us. Let us fight withcourage, for God is with us.

Judge George F. Hoar has printed inthe Worcester Gazettes letter in reply tothe one recently bent forth by GeneralButler in defense of the salary grab.First he thus speaks of his own disposi-tion of his back p.iy :

'• Instantly on the passage of the bill Idetermined not to receive the money. Itwas lefe'ftUy mine. It was placed by lawto niyeixdif, theie to remain until 1 ilis-posed of it in scr.no way. I inquired ofseveral of the leaders of the opposition tothe measure what they proposed ,to do,and was informed that they proposed totake the money; that if the salary hadbeen reduced they must have submitted,and they saw no reason why they shouldnot receive the money, although theydisapproved of the law. Under the cir-cumstanees, it seemed to me that it wasnot just tha-t while this district was to botaxed its share of the whole money whichwas drawn bj? the- representatives ofother districts, tho sum allotted to meshould be put in the Treasury to gochiefly to the benefit of the eame districts•whose representatives had drawn likesums for themselves. I acted at once,~within ten minutes after uiy return home,and not then having reason to believethat a si:rgl(3 other representative pro-posed to decline thia money. I did notthen think, nor do I now think the moneywas stolen, or received in breach of a con-tract. I.thought tho voting it was avery objectionable and extreme exerciseof an admitted constitutional power."

He then turns to General Butler asfollows:

"General Butler's real grief arises fromthe exposition lie is encountering in hisplan to get possession of tho governmentof Massachusetts by a fraud on the Iiopublican voteis. A few officeholders offeeble virtue, whom ho has succeeded inpersuading that they are iu danger fromhis revenge if they do not lend themselvesto hi»- schemes, a lavish expenditureof the ' competeut private fortune'—theseare tho instrumentalities by which hehopes to cheat tho Iiepublicau voters ofMassachusetts out of the honest expres-sion of their will. I think GovernorWashburn au honester, abler and fitterm a n ; * • * • • - * * • m

"General Butler has dono, unless hehas egregiously imposed upon us, twothings well. Ho out blackguarded aNew Yori mob in 1864, and, with aUnited States army at his back, he keptdown a rebel city in 1862. Massachu-setts is not likely soon to stand in needof either of these j>rooesses. But he neverhas accomplished anything else of muchimportance, when his point could not becarried by sheer blustering. Tho historyot all his other attempts may be coin-prised ia three words—swagger, quarrel,tailure.

" I t would t>« hard to find a leadingsupporter of General Butler who will saythat he deems him honest, truthful, dis-interested, or incapable of using power togratify both his ambition and his re-venge. The men whom General Butlei•will beat are tho wen whom he persuadesto support him."

Nether engineer saw the other,sengine till it was too lato to roverso, afact accounted for by tho curve in theroad, and partially by a dense fog. Thotwo trains camo together with fearfulforce. Being on a curve, howover, eachengine left the track and passed eachother, that attached to the coal trainstriking tho baggage car a few feet fromthe end and shoving it off the track,breaking tho coupling between it andthe smoking car, which tho engine strucksquare in the end and with such force asto throw tho forward end in the air sothat tho engine ran under it, tearing thefloor completely out, and hurling thefifty or sixty unfortunates who Wero intho car in a struggling mass to the lowerend, whence there was no chance for es-cape, causing a scene of honor whichcannot bo adequately described. Thesmoke stack and dome of the engine weroknocked off by tho collision, aud thebroken timbers of tho smoking car pene-trated the boiler, lotting loo5c a densevolumo of hot steam, which poured inthe car, blinding and scalding tho help-less inmates who, with heart-rendingshrieks, struggled vainly to extricatethemselves. Meantime Conductor Itus-sell, of the passenger train, who was un-hurt, and a number of passengers fromrear coaches came forward and endeavor-ed to assist the poor victims, but therewas little left to do beyond taking fromtho wreck tho dying and wounded.Many wero fearfully scalded. Sevendied soon after they were taken out, andfour have since died.

The point where tho accident occurredis near what is known as tho bog, a lowmarshy meadow, about half way betweenLemont and Willow Springs station, andnot a house in the neighborhood. Thounhurt passengers, however, took bed-ding from the sleepers and ministered asmuch as was possible under the circum-stances to the wounded, while ConductorRussell hurried back on foot to Lemontand telegraphed Superintendent Mo-Mullen here for surgeons and aid. Mr.McMullen hastily got together a halfdozen physicians and supplies of sucharticles as wero necessary and startedabout midnight with a special train forthe scene of the disaster, arriving thereabout 1:30 this morning. Everythingpossible was done tor the sufferers, andat six o'clock this morning thi train re-turned to the city bringing the injuredcoaches of the wrecked train and all thedead and wounded except two firemenwho were left at Lemont for burial. Ontheir arrival here those of the woundedwho rosided in tho city wero taken totheir homes and the others were taken- toa hospital, with the exception of CaptainSmith and. Mr. Fluery, who were takento the west side Briggs House. Neitherof these gentlemen, it is feni-ed, can re-cover.

THE CORONER'S INQUEST.

CHICAGO, Aug. 18.—The inquest on thebodies of those killed by the Chicago &St. Louis Eailroad disaster was, begun to-day. The Superintendent of the road,the station agent at Lemont, near whichthe accident occurred, and the conduc-tor of the passenger train gave testimony.The tenor of the evidence went to showthat the accident was caused by disobedi-ence of tho rules of the company by theconductor and engineer of the coal train,who should havo waited until tho passen-ger train had passed. The inquest willbe continued to-morrow.

ARRESTED FOR MANSLAUGHTER.

A Passenger Train Wrecked.ROCHESTER, N. Y., Aug. 19.—-The ex-

press train duo hero at seven o'clock thismorning from Detroit, on the the GreatWestern Kail way, is in the Welland Ca-nal at Thorold. Tho train was drawnby two locomotives, and consisted of sev-eral baggage and express and an unusu-al number of passenger coaches. Theopen draw was not observed by the en-gineer, and both the engines and all thebaggage and express cars plunged intothe canal, filling the chasm leaving noroom for the passenger coaches. It is ro-ported that the jjassengers and employesescaped injury.

HAMILTON, ONT., Aug.19—Tho acci-dent to tho railroad train at tha WellandCanal early this morning was caused bytho engineer jumping from tho enginebefore ho had brought it to a stop, hav-ing become alarmed at the filling of thecab with steam and boiling water, owingto the bursting of the water gauge glass.Nobody was hurt.

It should be so situatedas regards the city or village that thestreet or road leading to it shall be pleas-ant, and ono which will not pass pointsnear which slaughter-houses, soap fac-tories, etc., would naturally be placed.

WITHOUT going over the samo groundwe second the appeals made from weekto week by the Register, in favor of build-ing up manufactories in our midst. Ourcity, as wo havo at divers times, andthrough many years, tried to impressupon our citizens, can be built up andprospered in no other way. Merchantswe have of all grades and in all branches insufficient numbers to do tho business ofthe surrounding country, and increasingtho numbers will not advance the inter-ests of the city, as no community canthrive and fatten by simply buying andselling from or to each other. A new mer-chant simply divides a limited business,but commands no new population as custourers. Therefore, to spread our bordersand infuse new life manufactories arcneeded. Manufactories need tot amiwill not depend upon the citizens of ourjity or the immediate adjoining countryfor their customers. The State and thnation will bo their market. Manufac-turing is not living by trading jack-knives. Manufactories will bring usskilled and intelligent mechanics an<:their families to buy lots, build dwell,ings, increase our population, renew ourlife, and make a community, of producersinstead of one of traders and consumers.Will not our capitalists—thoso who are

prises away from home—turn their atten-tion to building up manufactories here :Let the Huron be made to work for thecity and steam strike hands with theHuron, and then all will not bo btagna-tiou when " trade is dull."

IT IS given out that " the Controller ofthe Currency will probably recommendCongress to authorize an additional issueof twenty-five millions of national banknotes." Which is not just exactly thething for the Controller to recommend orfor Congress to do. The amount of na-tional bank currency should not bo fixedby law, and the Controller should haveno control of its distribution among theStates. A free banking system is whatthe country wants: lot anybody or anycorporation put up tho requisite securi-ties, draw the per centago of circulationto which they are entitled, make their re-ports in accordance with tho provisions ofthe law, and obey the law in all other re-spects. Then wa shall havo a flexiblesystem, and tho issue will be regulatedfrom month to mouth and year by year,by the laws of trade rather than by statuteBanks will be established wherever thereis capital and a demand for its use in thobanking business, and will bo discon-tinued when no longer needed or foundprofitable. Tho security to tho bill-hol-der and the depositor will be tho samo asnow, and one monopoly will be effectual-ly disposed of.

" A N EQUALIZER:" that i8 what theacute Gen. BUTLER styles the bill increas-ing tho salaries of Congressmen, andabolishing mileage. As it gives themembers from Maryland and "Virginia,living within a stone's throw of thocapitol, the same' salary as tho memberfrom Oregon or the delegate from Alaska—and mileage to neither—we can hardly

see where the equalization comes in.' The$19,000 drawn by tho Oregon member,used by BUTLER as an illustration, wasan exception, and its being brought tothe front shows that tho hero ofFort Fisher and tho salarys-teal ishard pushed. Cutting off tho mileageleaves the pay or perquisities of memborsjust about as unequal as before. Reduc-ing it to three or five cents a mile—by thenearest traveled route—would have beenan absolutely equalizing measure nowthat Congressmen havo to pay fare likeordinary individuals. BUTLER shouldinvont ti more plausible defense nexttime he spouts.

Louisiana—Letter of Oov. McEnery.N E W O R L E A N S , August 19.—In re-

sponse to a communication from citizensof Monroe, as to the proper course to bepursued regarding Louisiana affairs,John McEuery writes a letter advising aState convention in December, and theappointment of a committee to appeal toCongress. After reviewing tho Keliuggusurpation Gov. McEnery says :

" The present deplorable condition ofLouisiana demands for her rescuo fromcertain ruin the adoption of one of tworemedies; either the rescue of her gov-ernment, from the ignorance and corrup-tion pervading in almost every depart-ment, by the united action of tho intel-ligent and honest people of tho State,or an utter surrender of the Stato to theFederal Government, t rust ing that tha tGovernment may insti tute an honesthome Government tha t will spare thepeople the confiscation of their propertynow gradually going on, and consequentand inevitable bankruptcy and ruin.

" T o any one educated in the theoryand genius of our Government, the lat-ter al ternative is hard to accept, but anygovernment promising a better future,however irregularly instituted, is prefer-able to one promising certain impover-

hment and general bankruptcy. Whena people find themselves surrounded, aswe are, by desperate and >tr tightenedcircumstances, commerce decaying, agri-culture demoralized, capital with mercu-rial wings in flight, real estate depressedaud depreciated 50 per cent, since Ee l -logg's rule, and, in fact, all values on the,decline, all this in a state of boundlessresources, and simply raid alone due tothe fact of bad, dishonest, illegitimate"overiiiiieut. naasessine neither the con-

8 or tnu people **-». ^. ...it is na tura l t ha t they will accept relieffrom any hand that extends it, and willnot stop to inquire as to the regularityor irrecgularity of the authori ty exei'cis-ed.

" B u t 1 hops tha t fate is not so impera-tive that wo shall be driven to accept sodesperate a remedy. Let us hope betterof those who hold our destiny in theirhands. Let us appeal earnestly to Con-gress, t rus t ing tha t t h a t honorable body,casting aside all political prejudices andparty rule, will do simple justice to amuch wronged and injured people."

English Harvest Prospect.The splendid forcing weather which

has been enjoyed by farmers during thepast ten days will tend perhaps ratherprematurely to ripen tho cereals. I t isnow certain that tho last haivest, whichfarmers had taken for granted, will notbe ono of the lamentablo facts of thopresent year. Tho warm weather hasimparted a bright yellow tint to theripening wheat, and although tho barleywill ba much improved by more sunshine,oats have attained full maturity in manyparts of the country and in the south ofEngland have beeu cut with great expe-dition. In Essex especially this fact isnoticeable, a considerable breadth of oatsbeing already in stack. Tho extraordi-nary character of the spring-time doesnot seem to have materially affected thecondition of the potato and root crops intho south of England. In Essex, whichis one of tho most extensivo sourcesof supply to the London market, pota-toes aro a fairly abundant crop, perfect-ly free from blight; and, having passedthe more severely trying part of tho sea-son, there is every reason to believe thatthe tubers will bo free from the annoyingdisease which caused such great loss to somany growers last year. Tho potatofields aro at present tenanted by a busycrowd of diggers actively engaged insupplying the vast demand which themetropolis occasions for the esculent.The majority of the hay fields havo nowbeen cleared in England. In Essex thecrop has turned out beyond all expecta-tion a good and a comparatively bulkyone. The aftermath is in all oaseluxuriant. Clover has all the appear-ance of vigorous and healthy growth,thu genial showera experienced by far-mers within tho past three weeks havinggreatly improved the condition of thatcrop. Ou the whole, wo may confidentlyaffirm that agricultural affairs bear apromising aspect in the South of Eng-land.— The Farmer.

Philadelphia's Oreat Reservoir.A vast corps of men are at work on tho

new East Park Reservoir. This basinwill cover over one hundred acres ot*ground, and will be divided into threecompartments. The embankments willbe ono hundred feet wide at the base andfifteen feet wide at the top. Th ewaterwill be circulated between the three di-visions of the reservoir, and will thus bekept pure. The entire rosorvoir will bemade to hold seven hundred and fiftymillion gallons of water, ono divisionholding fifty-five million, and tho othersabout throe hundred and forty-eightmillions each. Tho bottom of tho basinwill bo covered with clay bricked over,and the sides of the embankment will al-so bo of brick. About two thousandfive hundred men and nearly one thous-and horses and carts aro engaged ia thework, and it is expected that the reser-voir will be completed in 1870. It willbe useful'in securing for the city greatvolumes of water that now pass over thodanrdnring the freshets and leave thecity without a full supply in seasons ofdrought. The flow of water is very un-'even, and beyond a certain point the in-crease in depth of die water over the damis no advantage to tho city. During thopresent month tho water has been risingand falling from ouo inch to thirty inch-es, but with the new reservoir in o >t;ra-11..11 advantage could be taken of til ex-

The Mansfield and C'oluwater lloati.The Mansfield Liberal, referring to the

statement that the suspension of workupon this Road is only temporary, andwill soon bo resumed, says: "Our in-formation is the reverse of this, and it isfrom entirely reliable sources. Uutii tlsuit of Swan, Rose, ifc Co. is decided nowork whatever will be done up on thuColdwater Road west of Fostoria. If thesuit should be decided against the Rail-road Company, tho work will be perma-nently abandoned, and the Pennsylvania Company will withdraw from it en-tirely and permanently. Unless a com-promise is effected tho chances are thaiyears will elapse before the suit is decid-ed. I t is in thu United State.-, Court, an "can be protracted for an indefinate peri-od <it time. Our citizons therefore cjudge for themselves as to the probabili-

A correspondent of the Cleveland Herah!, writing ou tho same subject, says" The Pennsylvania company is pullingup the iron just laid west of FostoriaIn our last letter wo stated Swan, Eosi& Co , the original contractors, had enjoined tho Pennsylvania Company fronlaying any more iron until they got sisettlement out of the Mansfield & Coldwater Company, who were to build throad, bed, bridge, and tie it, and thPennsylvania Company WHS to iron amoperate the Koad. The Road bed wapretty nearly finished to Napoleon, anthe Pennsylvania Company hadmenced putting down the iron and haigot into this county about ten milewhen they were enjoined. Swan, Ros& Co. claim $96,000 due them, and havsued in the United States District ConriIf they get judgment they will hold thiron, hence the removal of it before theget judgment. Any one having businesin the higher Courts can form some ide

The supply of choice cattle was quite liberalsome coming from the extreme northwester!part of the State. The quality shows that pasturage must be good throughout the State anthat etockers reserved for choice beef thrivtvery well. The sales wero mostly connneito medium grades, tho choice lots beini,shipped eastward by holders who bought to makea shipping complement. The local trade wavery light, but few head being bought after thegroat rush of the previous Sunday's marketThough markets in tho East have been preoarious to buyers here there seemed no abatemenin the desire to ship lots to points there. Extrfchoice lots were held at ?4 50 and $4 80. Choiclots, mixed grades, $4, and light, indifferent tquality, at $2 50 and §3. The former average!in lots of twenty head 1,150; those held ut-^Jabout 1,000 lba.

Some very choice lots same in during tinmorning's market, one especially, secured b;Wilson Fitzpatrick, were a credit to tho StateFirms here aro securing a supply from Chicagobut. the increase of shipments from the Statiwill soon supply the demand.

the Ann Arbor Pr int ing and Publishing Com-pny was tiled in the Clerk's office. JudgeDura held that the answer ol' the Companyi—that of tho principal defendant, CHABBI not be-ing in,—made principally on information andtelief and not unequivocally denying the equi-ties and allegations of the bill, furnished noground tor a dissolution; also tha t the allegedisle of CHASE to the Company, made after thefiling of complainant's bill and after the hear ing> motion to dissolve, was too late to ba plead inavoidance or entitle defendant to a dissolution ;also that the alleged laches oi complainant werelot sufficient the motion to dissolve was, there -fore, reluctantly denied.

Personal.As two of our city congregations have recently

stoned to discourses from a couple of the grad-ates of 18.31, we have gathered a few itemsoncerning them that may be of interest to somef our readers.

Messrs. R. D. PAHKER and R. CORDLET went

torn the University to Andover Theologicaleminary, remaining there three years. In 1857ley went as Home Missionaries to Kansas,

where tho contest with slavery had already>egun. Mr. PARKER organized the lirst Con-regational Church of Leavenworth, stayingwo years; and then labored, eight years asastor of the church at Wyandotte, where heuilt a church, and literally stood guard uponlie Border during the war ot Rebellion ; peril-ing his life for years as a preacher of righteous-ness amid scenes of violence and bloodshed.Iis present residence is Manhattan, Kansas,

where he has for six years been the busy pastorf a largo parish and growing church, addingo his other duties during three years past theabor of Regent and Secretary of the State Ag-

ultural College : a nourishing institution withwelve instructors and two hundred students.le has just enjoyed his first vacation in sixteenears, and attended the Golden Wedding of hisuuTiits in Hillsdale County.

Rev. R. COKDLF.Y has been favored with thenost successful pastorate in Kansas. His church,he Plymouth Congregational of Lawrence, islie oldest in the State, and he is completing hisixteenth year of labor with them. Duringacking and burning and massacre, he has beenpermitted to cheer and guide the people of thatlistoric town. His house, library, sermons,verylhing but the simple clothing with whichle and his family escaped to the forest, wereurued at Quantret's Raid; and during the ware too stood as " Home Guard," sleeping uponlie ground, with his trusty carbine at his side.le has a beautiful house of worship costing:orty-four thousand dollars, and his churchnumbers over four hundred members. Last•ear he was permitted to receive 13S and baptize6 members at one time. At the close of fifteenears of labor his people presented him with aostly and elegant service of silver. His salarys -$'2,500. During these sixteen years his in-Luence has been lelt throughout the State ; morochurches and ministers have looked to him forulvice and counsel than to an elected Bishop.At the burning of the Fort Scott church, last•ear, he was able to send the greeting of his:hurch and six hundred dollars, taken at asingle collection, without previous notice. Dur-ng bis vacations intelligent laymen occupy hislesk.

Mr. PAP.KKJI and Mr. CORDLEY were among

the originators, and from the first have beenrustees, of Washburn College at Topeka, that>ears the same relation to Kansas that OlivetCollege does to Michigan. By a fortunate coin-cidence these college classmates and seminarv'.hums, have spent a vacation together in ourMichigan Athens.

vill not relieve, no swelling it will not subdue,nd no lameness which it will not cure. Thiss strong language, but it is true. Whore thearts are not gone, its effects arc marvelous. Itas produced more cures of rheumatism, neu-algia, lock-jaw, palsy, sprains, swellings, caked-reasts, scalds, burns, salt-rheum, ear-ache, &c,pon the human frame, and of strains, spavins,alls, &e., upon animals in one year than have11 other pretended remedies since the world be-an. Cripples throw away their crutches, theame walk, poisonous bites are rendered harm-ess and the wounded are healed without a scar.t is no humbug. The recipe is published aroundach bottle. It is selling as no article ever be-ore sold, and it sells because it does just whatt pretends to do. Those who now suffer fromlieumatism, pain or swelling deserve to suffer: they will not use Centaur Liniment. Moreban 1,000 certificates of remarkable cures, in-luiiing frozen limbs, chronic-rheumatism, gout,unning tumors, &c, have been received. Wevill send a circular containing certificates, theecipe, &c, gratis, to any one requesting it.3ne bottle of the yellow paper Centaur Liniment

When first L. COLBY hung his signOf C. O. IX—At No. 29,And offered Groceries cheap for cash,Some people said, " he's bound to go to smash."And old-time Grocers would faintly smile.Prophesying *'C. O. D. will laBt but little while.In sixty days we'll run him off the track.And call our wandering customers back.'*

The croakers said and thought it true,"He'll surely fail before the year is New!You can't sell Groceries in this townAnd get your pay in greenbacks down;Where dry goods merchants on every streetWith silks and aatinB, hang out chickens to eat;Where trudeia mixed in every place,At the same counter you buy butter or lace ;Where credit and IOBS go hand in hand,Mr. C. O. D. but a slim chance will stand."

Let prophets and croakera have their say,rL. COLBYsells GROCERIES only for BEADY PAYAnd sells so cheap for daily cash »

He fears no danger of a Bmash.And to his patrons all, and business friendSiThe greeting of the season he extends,To young and old, a glad New Year,With hosts of friends and lot& of cheer!

Give him a call, and from hia storeYour tables spread with good things more.At that place you will always rindFresh new Groceries ot beist quality and kind—Everything needful for good cheer at homeYou can buy at his counter whenever you come.The days are so short this bitter cold winter,To mention details would weary the printer.But ask if you choose for anything eatable,You get it at once, in quality unbeatable 1

For hungry men who are weary and cold,He hiis Oysters hot, Oysters that must be sold —Oysters pickled, Oyster stew, and oyster fry.Or Oysters any other way you choose to try.He will serve up Oysters at any hour of day,And the best of cigars to smoke on your way.A dish of hot Oysters will do you much good,And cheer you while selling your grain or wood.

And with cash in hand lay in a storeOf Coffee, Tea, Sugar, Flour and many more,Of all things substantial for daily use,Nor (reut life's good things with abuse ;Crockery nnd Glassware and Fruits to part in them,Nuts, Raisins, and Candy, for children who win themAnd yc who are blessed with their beautiful faces,Will find [291 the best of all places,To buy a trifle, to bring a smile or ringing laugh,Your pleasure, than theirs, will- be greater by halfThen do not forget to call on Mr. C. O. D.,And buy of him your Fruits, Sugar, and Tea*

Though the big (AQ may fall from its place,The C. O. D. % U utare is still on the raea,And does not intend to fly from the courseTill croakers of evil talk themselves hoarse.Groceries CAN be sold for ready pay.And X J U O o X " k » y has learned the way:Sold five times more than he expected—By C. O. D. from loes protected.And the secret he is not afraid to tell—Keep tbe best of all things—with prices low—be goot

About Walking:.From the New York Post.

•\Valkintr is a splendid exercise, invig-orating alike to mind and body. Howfull of vino and innate strength one feelsafter a brisk walk on a winter's day!How soundly we sleep after a postpran-dial stroll when the shadows and gentlecool of twilight render* the exercisepleasant during the heated term! Whatan appetite we have for breakfast atter a |walk atearly morn! There is no better)aid to good digestion than a walk. Youcan walk off or away the blues. Manyeminent men have come to their ideas by•walking. Jefferson was so particularabout walking that he carried ail odom-eter. I never knew a thoroughly soundand healthy man yet who was not fondof walking.

HOW TO 'WALK.

There is an art in walking which com-paratively few appreciate or acquire.There are many styles of walking, onlyone of which is good. Good walkingbrings all the muscles into play almostto the extent that quoit playing does;and pitching quoits exercises nearly allthe faculties, including those of sightand judgment. The art of walking—the proper way to walk—is to hold your-

self erect, square the shoulders, bringingthem on a line with the thigh blades,stepping out boldly and firmly, keepingthe aims in motion with the legs, andgently bending the body to the move-ment, planting the foot squarely andfirmly each step. Past walking exhausts,as slow walking wearies. A mistake isoften made bj those who would accus-tom themselves to the exercise cf walk-ing too fast at first. The distance shouldbe increased by degrees. Overtasked bytoo much witiking, the muscles lose theirstrength and become fhicuid. Don't goout with y mi head bowed with thought,because then the respiration will not begood; but start with head erect and de-termined to receive as much beneficialresult from the walk as possible, and withthe invignration consequent on the excel-lent circulation of the blood and the nat-ural exercise of the limbs will come clear-er mental activity, and the'probl"ms thathave racked your brain will be solved al-most unconscibuly, that is co say, with-out an effort.

Tattlers.

Every community is cursed by theif a class of people who make

il their bu Am ss to attend to everybody'saffair? hut their own. Such people arethe poorest specimens of humanity whichexist uyion this blighted earth. It iswell known that almost every person isometimes disposed to speak evil of otherg, and tattling is a sin from which veryfew can claim to be entirely exemptBut the object of this present articleto speak of that distinct class of tattlerswho make tale-bearing the constant bus-iness of their lives. They pry into theprivate affairs of .every family in theneighborhood; they know tbe exacstate of one neighbor's feeling towardanother; they understand everybody'sfaults, and no little blander or misde-meanor ever escapes their watchfulness.They are well-posted upon everythingconnected with courtship and matrimo-ny, find know who are going to marrywhom, and can guess the exact time byevery movement of parties suspected ofmatrimonial intentions, and, if there isthe slightest chance to create a disturb-ance, excite jealousy, or "break up" imatch, they take advantage of it, amdo all in their power to keep people in astate of constant vexation. They glidequietl$' from gentlemen to lady, frommother to daughter, from father to sonand in the ears of all they pour their hit-ler whispers of slander and abuse, and atthe same time pretend to be the mostsincere friends or those they talk toTheir nauseous pills of slander are sugar-coated with smiles and words of friend-ship.

Tattlers are confined to no particularclas3, and they operate in all. We findthem among the rich and the poor—" up-per ten" and the "lower million,"—inthe church and out of it. They are peoplewho have no higher ambition than to bewell-informed in regard to other people'sprivate business, to retail scandal totheir neighbors, and to exult in fiendishtriumph over the wounded feeling andbruised hearts of their innocent victims.

Electricity in Stirvej ing.The use of electricity in determining

raphiea] longitudes keeps rapid pai ••' with the continual extension of tele

h lines and cables ovef the world,ately chronicled thfl third dotermin-

' ation i1 the difference of loniritiiiv be-tween fVashiugton and Greenwich,which datum, so highly important toasironomy, may now be considered asknown to within the twentieth part of a

1 of time. The union of Londonwith Teheran, Persia, and through ilwith Madras. India, was oompleted inthe latter part of 1871, and a telegraphiccircuit of 3,870 milos of wire was used inthe longitude determination. The longi-tude of San Pranoisoo from Washington

en determined by a circuit of 2,000miles by the astronomers of the CoastSurvey. The net-work tit us graduallygirding the northern hemisphere now be-gins to be supplemented by the detachedportions of what at some distant <.!>.ymay beoome the connected links of asimilar series of longitudes in the sonth-ern hemisphere. In Southern Africa nr.tlin Australia the telegraph lines alreadyoffer facilities for most extensive geo-graphic il operations, but we believe theprincipal work that has as yet been donein the southern hemisphere has been re-cently effected by Dr. Gould, the direc-tor of be National Observatory at Cor-dova. During the past year he has made?uch determinations between his owncentral observatory and the cities ofBuenos Ayres and Rosario to tbe eastward. As the result of this work he an-nounces an error of one minute of timein the relative longitude of these placesas given on tho best maps. Preparationshave also been made for the longitudework between Cordova and Santiago deChili, but the accounts of the results ofthis work have not yet been received.

A Proposition to Bridge the Uospliorns.To the amazing mass of wonderful pro-

jeots with which tho year is filled, likethose for crossing tho Atlantic by bal-loon, passing under the earth by mar-velous tunnels, and annihilating spaceby aerial telegraphs, Signor AntonioZimcllo, the well-known Italian engi-neer, contributes a plan for the materialunion of Europo and Asia by a bridgeover the Bosphorus. This structure heproposes to the Ottoman Empire to erectacross the channel which divides Peruand Scutari by constructing eighteenpillars from shore to shore at heightssufficient to allow large vessels sailingunder. The' obstacles to be overcomeare immense. The depth of the Bospho-

Facts Worth Knowing.

One-tenth of the entire railroads ofthe United States are in Illinois. ThisState leads all others in the extent of itsrailway facilities. Its present totalmileasfo is about, midway between 6,000and 7,000, with now links being addedall the time. The total of this State isabout the same as the amount added to"the total of the . nation during the lasttwelve months. From " Poor's RailroadManual " we take the following condens-ed paragraphs worthy of special note :

"The earnings of the roads of tho dif-ferent sections, of course differed greatly,the most productive roads being those ofthe six New England States, the earn-ings of which, the past year, were $48,-616,839, or 21.10 per cent, on a cost of$230,609,794. Tho cost per mile of theroads (4,574 miles) was $.JO,418; the earn-ings per mile, $10,636; earnings perhead of population, at 3,589,000, $13.53.The number of inhabitants to each mileof road was 709.

" The cost of tho 11,617 miles of roadin operation fa the six Middle Statesequaled $922,700,774, or $79,427 per mile.Their earnings wore $169,205,702, or 18.30per cent, of their cost. The earnings permile were $14,595, and $15.86 per head ofpopulation. The number of inhabitantsto each mile of road was T92.

"For the ten Western States and theircontiguous Territories, the cost of the28,778 miles of railroad in operation was$1,472,625,232, or $50,550 per mile.Their earnings equaled $103,826,253, or13.10 per cent of the cost. Ti^oir earn-ings per mile were $6,735; per head ofpopulation, $13.76. The number of in-habitants per mile of road was 490."

With such xirofits for railway invest-ments, no wonder the people " groan, be-ing burdened," and ask in a tone of oom-mand for transportation reform.—Chica-go Journal,

rus at that point is as much as twenty-five fathoms in the middle of the chan-nel, and the stream rushes down withsuch force that it is called "Devil's Cur-rent." It would be difficult, perhaps im-possible, to placo solid piers at that point,and Signor Zimello does not disdain toget around this difficulty by adoptingthe idea of Xerxes and the Hellespont,which he thinks a good one, even thoughit failed in one instance. He proposes tosupport his central pillars upon pontoonsunder water, linked together, and withthe supports in shore by strong submarinebraces. The distance to be spanned isover one and a half miles, and if SignorZimello can carry out his bold idea, robthe Bosphorus of its majepty and bendits forces to his will, he will have endur-ed the severest test and proved himselfone of the greatest engineers of his age.

To Break a Pair of Steers.To an inquiry at the New York Farm

ers' Club, S. E. Todd replied :" The first step in my practice was to

get steers in a small yard, then into astall, put a rope around the horns, tiethem in a stall, and teach them to standquietly when tied. All harshness wasavoided. The next thing was to estab-lish a confidence between myself and thesteers, which was done by patting, curry-ing, and feeding nubbins of corn. Wildsteers would soon learn they were notgoing to bo hurt. They were then train-ed to be led single, after which two weretied together by their horns, and wereled around the yard and along the high-way until they were as tractable as agentle horse. Then a yoke was put ontheii ntcks, and two were allowed to runloose for a few houis every day in theyard while wearing the yoke. A sweepwas then made by setting a post in theground, allowing it to exti nd two orthree feet above the surface, the butt endof a pole, twenty or more feet long, wasplaced in a horizontal position on theport, with an iron bolt or crowbar run-ning through to the small end of thepole, with a hand-sled attached and theywere trained to draw the driver on thesled. After a few lessons on the sweep,they were prepared to draw a light sleigh'to the woods and bring home a smallload of wood.

Sickness of Animals.Hearly all sick animals become so by

improper eating, in the first place. Ninecases' out of ten, the digestion is wrong.Charcoal is the most rapid and efficientcorrective. It will cure in a majority of

ii' properly administered. An ex-ample of its use:

The hired man came in with the in-telligence that one of the finest cowswas Very sick, and a kind neighbor pro-posed the usual drugs and poisons. '$heowner being ill and unable to examinethe cow, concluded that the trouble camefrom overheating and ordored a teacupof pulverized charcoal given in water.

It was mixed, placed in a junk bottle,the head held upward, and the waterwith the charcoal poured downward. Infive minutes the improvement was visi-ble, and in a few hours the animal wasin the pasture, quietly eating grass.Another instance of equal success occur-red with a young heifer which becamebadly bloated by eating green apples af-ter a hard wind. The bloat was so se-vere that the sides were almost as hardas a barrel. The old remedy, galeratus,was tried for the purpose of correctingthe acidity. But the attempt to put itdown always caused coughing, and it didlittle good. Half a teaspoonful of pow-der charcoal was next given. In sixhours all appoarance of bloat had goneand the heifer was well.

So Person can take these Bitters accord-ing to direction.-., ami remain long unwell, providedtheir bones are not destroyed by mineral poison orother means, and vital organs wasted beyond thepoint of repair.

A Kiss IN THE DARK —A young NewYork gentleman stopping at one of thelower hotels requested the proprietor tochange his room, as the next apartmentto his was occupied by that torment tobachelors, a crying baby. When ho ar-rived from New York he went off totake a dri\e, and on his return to thehotel he was shown to his new apart-ment, with the information that the bag-gage of tho former occupant had not yetbeen removed, but that it would betaken away during the course of theevening. It was growing dark, so ourhero sat down by the window to indulgein a little twilight meditation, and pos-sibly a cigar. Suddenly the door opened,the frou-frou of a woman's dress washeard, and a soft voice exclaimed, "Why,Jack, dear, when did you come down? Iam so glad!" and simultaneously withtho exclamation he found himself

' Tenderly clasped in loving embrace,With a pair of long lashes just sweeping his

face."

" So am I," was his veiy natural andinvoluntary rejoinder, whereupon therewas a shriek, a rush, and a slamming ofdoors, and my friend was left alone tomeditate at leisure upon the charms ofthe twilight hours.—Long Branch Cor.Philadelphia Ledger.
