Field and Titer, of the Leadenhall Press. As explained in a prefatory note by "P.E.N.," the article now presented to the public was writtvi by Thomas Carlyle in the spring of IH-ls, but is not to be found among any at his republished works. In the spriHg of 1848 O'Connell Introduced Into parliament his celebrated Bill lor tbe ''Repeal ofthe Union" as it means thut would, ut all events, in some degree alleviate or pul the Irish people in the way of alleviating their woes. The paper now published is Ouriyle's answer to Hie outcry for repeal, aiid few who read it can doubt, as ''P.E.N.'' says,that "Ouriyle'sobjections to 'Repeal' arc ofthe weightiest, and bis profound and thoughtful are .entitled to respectful tion by those even who differ most widely from tbem. says:—"Let Irish patriots seek other remedy than repealing the Union; let all men cease to talk and speculate on that. Bince once for ail it cannot he done. In no conceivable circumstances could, or durst, a British Minister propose to concede such a thing. The British Minister that proposed it would deserve to be Impeached as a traitor to his high post, and to lose bis worthless head. Nay, if, in tlie present cowardly humor of most Ministers and governing persons, and loud insane babble of anarchist men, a traitorous Minister did consent to help himself over the evil hour by yielding to it and conceding its mad demand—even he, whether be saved his traitorous head or lost it, would have done nothing towards the repeal of the Union. A law higher than that of Parliament, as we have said, an eternal law proclaims the Union unrepeatable in these counturies. Great Britain's work, whatever her Ministers be, till all her citizens likewise cease, recptires to be done. While a British citizen is left, there is left a protestor against out- country being occupied by foreigners, a repealer of the Repeal. Not while British men walk erect in this island can Ledru Rollins, American sympathizers, Parisian organisuteiirs, and an anarchic canaille be left at ritte practice in the other. Never, in my opinion; clearly never. And so were Repeal conceded, Repeal would at all moments, by niglit and by day, cry irrepressibly to be revoked—perhaps in a final way that time.

Hubert, The Ifc-Tpla Alliance - Buffalo Bill in Paris—Child Marriage iu India Discussed. 'Ihe single line passes through n- iiiiineruble tunnels, any one of which might he blown up after a successful landing. Many intelligent Italians see these things und doubt whether In spite of the vast expenditure on the national armaments, thut any adequate return is to be hoped for from a policy which may place tlieir richest coast lands at the mercy of a French descent, Thorough going "Irredentists" on the other hand, are indignant at an alliance which virtually resigns Italian claims to the city for whicli tbev long, Trieste. The sincere believers in NATIONAL FREEDOM are disgusted at a secret compact concluded with re-actionary and repressive elements, and liy which tlie rising liberties of the Balkan States are deliberately sacrificed to Hapsburg land hunger. Lord Cross, Secretary of State (or India, hits just formulated' a reply to Ragtt- natha Rao respecting child marriages in India, which in effect slates that notwithstanding there is a distinct, growth ot public feeding in India against the system of CHILD MARRIAGE, it iB not yet strong enough to enable the British Government to take any legislative action. The difficulty of the problem resides in tbe fact that it is a custom enly, and has no justification in the sacred books of llindostun. There is no re.ison to suppose that in Vedic, India, girls were married, as tbey now arc, almost in the cradle. How this haa come about is a matter of ari'liielogiciil Interest and probably such nominal unions served useful purposes once. Ragunutha Rao, who is a distinguished Hindoo, recently called upon the British Government to put down the system, as it has put down Bravery and other evils, lie sayB: Hritish blood and money may have flowed like water in the efforts to stamp out slavery iu other countries, yet in Iniliii the British Government sits with folded hands while the father is permitted to Bell in marriage Ids infant daughter of eight to a man of forty-live, already rendered notorious by his marital tyranny. This child wife' is then separated from the companionship of her own sex, and is so persecuted und terrorized that, child us she is, she is driven to attempt suicide rather than submit herself any longer to the capricious tyranny and odious intimacy of her so-called husband, and yet the Itritish magistrate is compelled lo state in open court that he has no power to restrain a revolting oppression of this character and it is justified Inlaw." This protest is made apropos of the recent charge against Ilolkuris boii- in-law. The case of Rukiiiuliui, wlio is now in England, shows another phase of the same evil. It has been pointed out to Rao that is no reason lo despair of a change in tlie Indian custom, [or in Great Britain two centuries ago the age at which children were married would now be regarded as scandalous. Mary Countess of Buccleuch married at the age of eleven. The affair caused commotion, and the young lady was placed under the charge of .General Monk and bis wife until the commissary Court passed judgement which they did by nullifying the marriage on the ground that Scotch law fixed marriageable age at twelve for girls und fifteen for boys Several even stranger Instances of child marriages in Lancashire and Cheshire were cited. Tito daughter of that grave and reverend Prelate Bishop t'liadcrton was so young when married that al the ceremony she hud to beheld up to tlio altar. The remembrance that such an incident uureproved was passable in "Good Queen Bess' golden davs" may make Rao hope that the forces now at work will pin an end to child marriage in India and all the cruelty which the system involves. " The Sugar Bounties Convention is in a bad way, but Baron Do Worms and his adherents are working vigorously in another direction, nnd wilh every prospect of success. Tbe quoBlion of importation (five or regulated) of foreign cattle Ib again becoming prominent. It need hardlv he slated that a desire to guard both flocks and herds against In. feci'on from abroad is univiP'til. Theagrl cultural interest in a national interest of the fli'Sl importance, and stock breeders have a right to demand thai reasonable precautious shall bo adopted against the importation ot infectious disease. But the Chamber ol Agriculture goes far be- youd this, and the hot controversy of some lew years ago, seems likely to be revived. London, May 18.—Tbe leading statesmen and politicians who recently made a tour ot Italy state that however brilliant the reception given to King Humbert by the Emperor tuny he, it will have little or no ellect In checking the strong feeling which bus set in among Ihe Italian people against a German alliance. All the financial evils thai now threaten Italy are laid at thc door ot the Triple Alliance, and popular discontent at the CKEMAN YOKE is so nipidlv increasing thai the full of the new Crispi cabinet and the advent of a pro-French ministry arc now freely predicted. No doubt the price offered to Italy for the huge sacrifices she is now making is considerable. In return for her active co-operation with Germany and Austria in the event of a war with France and Russia, it is believed that Nice and Savoy are the reward on one side and Trentino on the oilier, though it is difficult to believe that ilapsburg will ever voluntarily consent to the surrender of the city of Trent itself, but meantime these promised acquisitions abroad are remote and visionary, while beggary within her doors S'l'AUCS ITALY IN THE EACH. The fortune of war is never certain, but itis highly probable that even in ibe event oi the final triumph oi the three allied powers, a large part ol the Italian coast would for some time lie at the mercy of the French fleet. Despite their i lossal Ironclads, it is very doubtful, iu the event of war with France, that Italians will he able lo cope with the French navy. The experience of the Lissa is certainly not encouraging tothoi 6 who put faith in leviathans, and HUOE ITALIAN V El SELS will always run the risk ol being outmanoeuvred by much smaller craft. The loss of a single engagement at the outf break of a war would entail the annihilation of a whole plan of mobilization. The principal coast cities on the West, Genoa, Naples and Palermo arc wholly undefended. The direct railway between Rome and Genoa, Incredible its the fact may appear, consists of a single line of rails. A defeat, in Itself, would throw almost insuperable obstacles in the way of any rapid mobilization oi troops on a large scale between Spc/.zi and Genoa, and onward toward the French frontier. In March last the Privy Council, which cannot he suspected of any desire to favor the consumer at the expense of home producers of meat, came to the conclusion that the official ban upon Dutch cattle might safely lie removed. Il was known that foot and mouth disease existed in Germany, hut the Department would be satisfied that the Government of thc Netherlands, which could show a clean bill of health for the territory within its own jurisdiction, bad established a sanitary cordon on thc frontier, winch might be accepted as a sure guarantee to (liter through from tbe neighboring empire. Obviously the Dutch might he thoroughly trusted to keeps V1U1LAKT LOOKOUT on the frontier. These considerations seemed to the Privy Council to carry convincing weight, and an order was issued directing that animals from Holland should he admitted into English ports after June the first without either slaughter or quarantine restrictions. The Chamber of Agriculture at once took alarm, and tbe powerful influence which they are able to command waB brought into action with characteristic energy. The Government has been obliged to retreat, and the operation til the order has been postponed to Sept. 1st. Lord Salisbury's efforts lo obtain the Duke of Abcrcorn's services as I.OllU-l.IEITENANT OF IRELAND. are likely to be successful. The Duke's father was very popular in that office, and he himself stands just in the right rank, being not one of those who would raise an Inconvenient claim to lie admitted to the cabinet, which is out of the question, while the Chief Secretary and Lord Chancellor of Ireland are of that select body. In addition to very great possessions the Duke is the only one of the first order ol nobility who holds a peerage In three kingdoms. Some amusement lias been caused at the Admiralty Olliee, and In geographical circles at the recent announcement of the discovery of a "new mouth" or THE ZAMBESI, The mouths of the Zambesi arc perfectly well known, and fully laid down, both on Portuguese and English Admiralty churls, us well us Raveuslein's map of 1881. Mr. Rankin's conimiinications to the British Foreign Office and Admiralty, bave been critically examined, and it is officially stated that it is simply an old mouth, the hunks of which have shifted. DREW A REVOLVER, London, May 18.—Henri Rochefort and Pilotel, II French artist, met face to face to-night in Regent Street for tlio lirst lime since Rocbcfort's arrival in London. Angry words were exchanged, and Rochefort drew a revolver. A bystander seized tlie weapon in time to prevent it h.'ing discharged and both were arrested, The affair grew out of a savage criticism in Rocbefort's paper of Pilotel's caricature of Boulanger. Pilotel challenged Rochefort to light a duel, but Rochefort declined to meet him, whereupon Pilotel publicly declined he would thrash Rochefort al tbe lirst opportunity. BUFFALO llll.l. IN PARIS.

' Chicago, May 18.—Patrick Egun, ex- President of the I,and league, before starting for Chili, when inked his opinion of Dr. Cronin's disappearance, replied, "I discovered justrn atom of foundation on which to base the assumption that he bus been removed. That he was made away with because of some knowledge of crookedness in Dr. O'Bellley's account with tlie Parnell fund, is more preposterous than probable. Chicago funds which it is said were misappropriated, did not go through Dr. O'Reilly's hands, but were held by Dennis O'Connor, of this city. I think souse Irishmen of this city arc trying rashly to assume that Cronin was murder I. This is going to offend the comii'ittc >, and they ought tn show better reasons for pronouncing the case one of that sorl. Dr. O'Reilly said it was iihsu'd to connect Cronin's disappearance with the business of hiB office, ami flatly denied all insinuations of that character, tinder hiB system of keeping the accounts, it would lie entirely impossible to have done anything of the kind intimated. FELL FROM A SCAFFOLD. Buffalo, May 18.—While two roofers named Alex.

Both were fatally injured. The illness of Miss Maty Anderson and Edwin Booth takes thc two brightest stars out of the theatrical heaven ia which we were to revel, but the man who lee Is it most is Manager Dayman. Miss Anderson was to reiipon the Grand Opera House, after il had been newly fitted out, and Booth and Barret were to open the New California Theatre, but it looks now as if be will have to rustle in order to have good attractions for the opening nights of his theatres. The superiority in point of morals of the American stage over that of any other country has lieen curiously shown in the past n'iBter in New York.' Of the five chief successes, "Captain Swift" and "Sweet Lavender," from Loudon, had to be altered a good bit to suit American modesty, a Parisian would scarcely recognise "The Surprises of Divorce" as chastened to the Yankee ear, and "The Old Homestead" and "Little Fauntltf roy," as successful as anv of them, are purely American and Americanly pure. A story which is going the rounds of the London papers avers thatM.Coquelm bus become infatuated with Mary Jensen. "They met," says a British contemporary, ' 'at a dinner given to M. Coque- lin by Colonel McCauil,, aud since that time the eminent French actor has beep madly in love with tbe pretty American burlesque actrcBs." ThiB pleasing anecdote, has brought iorth ninny denials from American correspondents, and induces one New York writer to make Ihe gallant announcement that he is "in a position to slate that M.

Among the many vices which are common to mankind—without distinction of race or country—is that of gambling. It* is usually during the houis of the nighl, that the votaries of this especial vice indulge in their favorite pastime, which fact alone, causes gambling to frequently become the primary cause of employment for our police court. Men who—when once the poison is in their blood, so to | say—have "played" much, too frequent- j ly become so Infatuated with the passion, that they ure willing to risk tlieir all, on the turn of u card, or the throw of a die. It ia needless for us to po;'it out the fearful ill this vicious habit entails upon the families of thos.' who habitually indulge in it. Pale-faced wives, or mothers, sitting up for husband, or son; .trembling children, who may perhaps receive a caress, perhaps a blow, according to the "luck" experienced by the gambler. These, though bad enough in themselves, are yet among the least of the evils entailed. Money that should find its way into the bauds of the storekeeper, has a far different outlet. The man himself is distinctly lowered in tone, largely by his associations and surroundings ; and with loss of self-respect comes a rapid descent towards misery, and degradation. Granted that some one must win, yet money so obtained, never seems to "stick," aa does the reward of honest work. It comes easily, and goes easily; and comes most easily of ull to the "professional" gambler, who of necessity has odds in his favor, as the "professional" must always have when pitted against the "amateur." Besides all this, there are surrounding evils accompanying this card-playing for money, concerning which we have neither space or time to touch upon at present, but which will make themselves readily apparent to tbe meanest apprehension. If we were not fearful of treading ujioii delicate ground, we would ask our ministers to denounce this hideous vice from the pulpit, for thai it ia a vice flourishing iu our very midst, is a fact patent to all. Wc have no wish to pas-i any strictures upon the conduct of the authorities concerning the suppression of tliiB crying evil—ull we ask is, that the intelligent public should take the matter up in earnest, not in tile halfhearted fashion in which the few spasmodic attempts at suppression, has been carried on hitherto. The ultimate appeal is always to the people; the remedy lies in their own hands. The voice of public opinion now-a-duys is all-powerful; even "vested interests" quail before it, and we venture to think that if our citizens—both men, and women—would earnestly use their best endeavors to put down what has so long luen a disgrace to nearly all tho towns on this Coast, since the first "gold rush" took pi the "authorities" would soon see their way to make the law not quite so inoperative as it appeaas to be at present. Tbe puling, weak-kneed raids occasionally made upon gamblers, appears to have hod nearly as much effect as wonld the galvanising of a dead horse. Wo fully absolve those who "enforce" the law from blame. The initial step is not with them, It must originate with the people, and power to check the crying evil must be delegated to our magistrates, with the sterti understanding that they do their duty disinterestedly, and fearlessly. TIIE ABUSE OF HONEY. The advice given by the sage old Quaker to his son, "It's what thec'll spend my lioy, not what Ihce'll make, which will decide whether thce's to be rich or not"—Is applicable to a large number of young men, (and we fear many who count gray hairs in their heads as well), now in our midst. Most good things have been said before, and as such may be held as a species of plagiarism. Tlie advice lias been given in effect already by FRANKLIN, when he wrote: "Take care of the pence and the pounds wiil take care of themselves." We have more than once heard sneers made by our "old-timers," at the expense of the "saving habit" of the Eastern Canadian. This we bold to be both unjust and foolish. There is nothing admirable in itself, in the mere fact of throwing one's money about. There is perhaps no single circumstance which bears so directly upon the character of a man, us the use he makes of his money. Niggardliness, all men with good red blood in their veins, despise. But the rightful use of money—and ils use cannot be rightful, unless duly economical also—is a quality of which the possessors are by no means so numerous as could be wished. Men, far more than women, are continually indulging in needless, if small expenses, Buying to themselves, that "it's only a trifle," yet forgetting tbat the aggregate is serious. Ten cents we grunt, seemB a paltry little sum in itself, hardly worth a second thought, nevertheless when one reflects a moment, wc are mildly astonished to find that small ob tbe sum is, if one such coin per day is saved the sum of $30 and a half is realised nt the end of the year. The man who wisHes to be rich, has won quite half the battle when he has succeeded in "saving" ten thousand dollars. We mean that Bum mast be "saved," not gained by inheritance or otherwise. How many spend ten thousand dollars in a few years in needless expenses, and then J i in um; from .Mr.Go-i hen's recent speech on the Budget, we arc led to believe lhat at last the speck of blue has appeared in tlie commercial sky, indicative of a rigorous, and sustained revival of trade. We think it will be allowed that when trade Is bad in Great Britain, it i-; seldom very good in her Colonies; and vice versa, owing lo their inter-dependent relations. Perhaps wo ought to make an exception in tlie case of countries so young as our own. The great staples of commerce have been (with temporary fluctuations! for years at an abnormally low ebb, Sugar, wool, flout, and cotton have each Buffered heavily—either from over-production of tbe raw material, or ruinous competition upon tho pari of the manufacturer. Tho "bull" and "boar" operations of speculators, though they have had much to do with tlie occasional fluctuations in the markets of the world, cannot reasonably be held to have had any mal trial permanent effect upon the excessively low prices which have ruled for so many years. When ivcrelicct lhal air. Goscben tells us that in the year just dosed, the total receipts of the Exchequer amounted to tss,47u,uii,i or .tl,ti4ii,0,iu in excess of the Estimates, while the expenditure has amounted lo £85,673,000 nr £041,000 less than the charges which he (Mr. Goscben) assumed the Treasury would have to mod twelve months ago." This looks very much as though lhc "silver lining" luul at last appeared. True Ihe surplus is lo be swallowed up in Naval expenditure— but what splendid figures lo play with! Poor France, however—or rather rich France—has bad lo raise an annual revenue of about £112,000,800 (we quote from memory only) since its death-struggle with Germany. HEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD.

"To what base uijflwe may return, Horatio," says tho gospel of Bacon, according to Shakespeare. A man sits in the window of a store on Wabash avenue, who, tf he would consent to break the silence ho has fallen Into, could utter the same sentiment. He has experienced all the depths and shallows of life and now smiles a perennial smile at all existence. Bummer melts htm into a smile and winter freezes It on him. He is really the only Chicago "L'Hommo quirlt" The slamming door never seems to jar Ids nerves, nor do wind gusts puff his Jslnts into rheumatics; the school girl, , passing, comments on his ugliness in his i Sresence; the ologue, extractor of great loughts from small cavities, passes, j Stances at him and makes a memoran- um "suggestive of Ezekiel's vision; no commentator hitherto has explained that chapter; I may be able to throw some light on It;" sympathy embalmed In perfume and guarded by a fierce cane approaches and discovers, through a glass, the smiling philosopher.

PurcliiULTS Pay Well for tho Privilege of Securing Goods on Time. In a general way the monthly payment stores afford a good index of tbo prosperity of the middle and lower classes. Hard times and lack of employment invariably make themselves felt In delay or stoppage of payments, and the duration of stringent circumstances can readily bo measured by tho way tbo payments aro resumed. A furniture dealer was interviewed by a reporter: "What course do you tako in coso of delinquency in payment?" "There is only one advisable course, and that is to tide over those who can't take up their monthly notes. Tho public, I think, has distorted views about the monthly payment stores. Thero aro, doubtless, some sharks among us, but most of us aim to do a fair, legitimate business, charging but 10 per ceut. more for our goods tbat tbo nieu who sell for cash do. Taking back of goods is always avoided, for there is no money in a sale if the stock bos to bo taken back and turned over to the auction stores. It Is only tbo monthly payment stores whloh keep second hand furniture that can profit by the utter failure of their patrons. Wo liavo families that we have carried along a year, and I doubt not that other monthly puynientstores luivu likewise. To harass patrons would ue to work against our own inloreat. So fur us rates of profit aro concerned, tho only clement of injustice In them Is one of which tho publlo rarely thinks. If tbo account runs a year the 10 per cont. extra wo eluirgo is fair, for tho risk, the cost of collection, and the loss of interest from having money outstanding is fully oqual to tho additional into of profit we charge. Our margin of profit is computed so as to include a year's interest ou the regular prices of the goods, but many, possibly the greatest number, of our accounts are closed in a shorter time—six months, say Thus on a purchase of $00 or $75 worth of goods, arranged so as to bo settled in six months, tho buyer pays 20 per cent. Interest on the amount of the bill for tbe whole period, while he actually makes a payment of a sixth of the bill when begets the goods and a similar payment every succeeding month. When tbe account rune for a year the burden Is not so heavy. If people can pay cash they should, and every honest dealer in our line of business will toll them so. "It Is unquestionably true that the form of payment la a temptation to purchase beyond the means to pay. We havo no trouble in selling. Our greatest difficulty is to keep tho bill down to what we consider a safo limit. Pooplo do not stop to think that they pay for their privilege of making installments at a tolerably high rate. One reason ot this lack of judgment is probably becauso women do so much of tho buying at the monthly payment stores. Thoy often fail to estimate carefully what they can do, aud tho result is that they become a sourco of trouble to themselves and us. Often, too, men who were drawing good salaries at tho time of the purchase, got out of work soon after, and any miscalculation on their part makes payment an uphill work, Tho spread of the payment stores has been suprldng. Almost overy large city now has a number of 6uch concerns, which seem to do more than their ordinary share of business. In Chicago I doubt if thero aro as many as there wero two or threo years ago. The reason of this Is not that the scheme does not work successfully, or that tboro havo sprung up too many for tho population. Tho capital required for such a business ls much greater than tbat which ls roquisitoforacash trado. It was a common pructico for dealers to roaltzo on tlieir monthly notes at 3 or 3 per cont. a month. Thoy wero unablo to carry their own paper, or borrow at legal rates, and tho result wus that a number of concerns have failed during tho last year or two. I think it Is all nonsenso to talk of tho monthly pay- mout stores cutting into tho regular trado disastrously. Wo catch n class of patrons who would not deal ot a cash storo, since they would uot bo likely to savo up tho necessary monoy. I believo that monthly payment stores aro an inccntivo to thrift and economy, second only to tho building associations."— Chicago Nona Our Postal System. If there Is any point on which our postal system docs not Btand In need of Improvement It ia lu tho cheapness of postage. Our newspapers aro carried within tho county of their publication for nothing, and ovory- whero elso for next to nothing, and a letter of an ouuco weight is transported from any point to any other ot om- enormous area of 3,000,000 square miles for tho smallest unit of lotter postage known in Christendom. But a far moro important matter, and one wholly neglected, Is that of postal delivery. In other civilized countries tho postoffice, receiving a lotter from tho writer, undertakes to deliver it to the person addressed. In our own happy land tho postoffice receives tbo letter, aud (except iu the case of a privileged 20 per cent, of tho people) undertakes to carry It to within five or ton miles of tbo person addressed, and keep It there till called for. This ls tho mero barbarism ot postal service, worthy of tho dark ages before Rowland Hill. Tho enormous cost mid loss which it involves becomo obvious to any ono, on a few minutes'reflection. For ozamplei A man living threo miles from tho postomco Is anxiously expecting a lotter of great importance, which may arrive any time within a fortnight Ho goes daily to look for it, and on tho sixth day ho gets it.

Milk and Water Adventur*. tu .1 Museum Fall to Realize Imagin-w Jit's Picture. Distrusted Because The'.*- Search Unearths Nothing "Outrage *•.»." Ono sloppy morning, several weeks ago, two young women living on Uso Hill met ai tho home of one of them for the purpose ol dissecting their fellow men anij women, comparing uotes und exchanging ex-perlences, and In duo time made a mutual discovery that life in St. Paul was decidedly fiat aud stale, If not altogether unprofitable. "Now, In Now Vork," yawned Marlon, wearily, "wben society begins to pall, the girls go slumming and do nice things like that.'' Marion is a blonde, and looks as it her spirit walked only In the sunlight of angels' wings. "But here the most exciting thing we ever do is to give a masquerade, which makes us a lot of worry aud work and expense, and when it Is over we find we have only succeeded iu making ourselves perfectly hideous by a misguided selection of costume, and have had nothing but a dancing party after all." Maudo thought they ought to be able to do- vise something that would have at least a grain of splco. "What do you say to going to the dime museum!" she said abruptly. "Thero might bo something in it" "There is," exclaimed Maude triumphantly, "und It's a 'Human Balloon.' I read so lu tbe morning paper." "1 suppose he would have a few clotbei on I" remarked Marlon doubtfully. "Oh, of course; tights anyway. Let's go.' And so it happened that the two daring young ladles concealed their urlstocratlo features behind thick veils, and trusting tlieir lives to the Integrity of the cable (as tho first step in their reckless adventure, perhaps), camo down by the common route and sneaked —aye, verily, sneaked into thedlme museum. "Heavens! What smells sot" gasped Ma rion at the top of the stairs. "It's tho aroma of novelty, machere. You may change, you may alter the house if you will, but the scent of the freak will cling round It still." "That sounds as If you had been here before," aud Marion cast an eye of suspicion upon her friend. "Well, I haven't, but I went Into a side show once at a circus. Marlon Hilltop," she whispered, grasping that young woman's arm with a black-and-bluo clutch, "I actually believe that man ls in his skin I" "Nonsense! Let go my arm. It's pink silk, and not much of a fit either; but It does look a little like skin at first." The human balloon rose and spoke bis little niece; then drawing a prolonged Inspiration no expanded hts chest and stomach until bis body was more than twice the original size, held it a moment, and with a slow expiration gradually decreased to his normal proportions. "It makes me sick," declared Marion. "I believe it's a trick," rejoined Maude. "I'll bet anything it's some kind of a rubber arrangement that ho blows up some way with air. Let's look at tbe monkeys." "Thanks; I meet too many English apes capering around in society to And anything amusing in tbe African species. Maude, whal do you stsjpose the men are looking at through those round holes over there on tba side!" "Well, I'vo beon watching, and there hasn't a slnglo woman gono over yet. I expect It's something pretty bad. Would you dare lookl Merciful goodness I Is tbe place on Urol" "No, mom," responded a bystander, eject- lug a stream of tobacco juice from a swollen jaw. "it's the crowd a-rushtn' down to set tho seals." THEY TAKE HI TBE SHOW. Tho two girls, determined to seo It all, followed the unsavory tbroug, and to this day the possible impropriety tbat hid beyond that row of bull's eye holes remains a tantalizing mystery to tbem. Tho performance of trained seals thoy found really Interesting. Tbe jnvenile seal was quite as kittenish as the stage juvenile always Is; the topical song seal sang tho usual number of verses with the traditional lack of voice, and received the sauio old encores; the funny business boro tho authorativo stamp ot ripe old age, and on the wholo tho entertainment was just as well worth seeing as two-thirds of the combinations put upon the regular boards, and hada decided advantage over the latter In that the porformers were seals aud not persona. "I didn't seo any fur on them that looked like my sealskin coat," commented Marion as tho curtain fell. "Perhaps they've shed their costs. I think I've read tbat some animals do shed their outside skin when they gat in a warmer climate." "No, I think you're wrong, Maude, about that But perhaps the fur grows on tbe Inside. I shouldn't wonder if it did, because if it was on tho outside it would got so stuck with Ico crawling around on Icebergs" "How do you know tbey doP' Interrupted Maude. "Because, don't you remember, the picture In our geographies always represented seals as sunning themselves on icebergs*' At the toot of the stairs tbey found a man selling tickets for "a flrst class theatrical performance by the English Novelty company of celebrated artiste; gentleman will please remove their hats." "A variety show," whispered Marlon. "I'vo always been dying to go to ono. I guess we won't buy reserved seats, but stand back hero. We may bave to leave." And a "variety" snow it was, but absolutely tree from any impropriety. Tbey found it sufficiently interesting to remain to the close, although considerably disappointed at the absence of anything sensational Hie vocalists had bettor voices than ths average singer in flrst class burlesque, and wen costumed rather moro modestly. The jokes, if somewhat moss grown, were at least not unpleasantly suggestive, and tbs specialties wero all cleverly done The artist who played popular airs on a violin with nny thing under the light of the sun from a washboard to an old shoe, as Maude afterward said, gave better music than Hooy does with bit peculiar instrument In "A Parlor Match," to say nothing nf tho man who proved that real melody can bo extracted from a penny whistle in tho hands—or mouth, rather—of a genius. "Well, wo haven't seen or heard a single thing the least bit outrageous, have wet" remarked Marion, In a disgusted tone, as tbey walked down Seventh street "But It's been a great lark. Wonder it any one saw us. Suppose wo wind off with blue points and a pint bottle!" Maude hesitated.

In the old haggling way of trado which baa, lo this country, ut least, happily gone out for the most part) nnd been replaced by the more honest one price system, in which a dealer puts a fair profit upon his goods and sticks to that, it was customary to demand a great deal more than tho askor hoped to get. One time on tho Texas frontier a man came into a camp riding an old mule. "How much for the mule?" asked a bystander. "Jin a hunderd dollars," answered the rider. 'Til give you fivo dollars," said the other. The lider stopped short, as If in amazement, and then slowly dismounted. "Stranger," said ho, "I ain't a-golii' to let a Uttle matter of uinety-flvo dollars stand botween me and a mule trade. Tho initio's yourn." Another story, somewhat of tho same sort, ls related of an old tenant farmer who, on paying his rent, told his landlord that he wanted some timber to build a house, and would be much obliged if he would give him permission to cut down what would answer for the purpose. "Nol" said the landlord, sharply. "Well, then, sir," tho farmer went on, "will you give me enough to build abarn?" "No." "To make a gate, then?" "Yea." "That's all I wanted," said tho farmer, "and more than I expected."—Youth's Companion. Philanthropy or Advertising? "Do good by stealth and blush to find it fame" may have been excellent advice when Mr. Pope wroto, but it would require resbap- ing'to bring it into harmony with modern requirements. A Yorkshire coal dealer who has been doing good by stealth ou quite an extensive scale, now has cause to blush at finding himself fined by a police magistrate. This philanthropic trader owns a weighing machine which gives bis customers twenty- one pounds overweight on every hundred weight Somo time ago his attention was officially drawn to tho fact, and he rucdved solemn warning that if ho continued his sinful benevolence he would bo summoned. A weighing machine that gives overwoight Is as illegal as one that does tho other thing, tho law demanding a perfect adjustment of bal anee. This coolly Samaritan rof used to believe, however, that his stealthy benefactions were punishable, and so persisted in adding the little bonus to every hundred weight of blaek diamonds that left his shop. A fine of 0b, -md costs is tho result, the bench expressing tbo opinion that it looked a little hard to punish a man for cheating himself to benefit his customers. It does look hard, no doubt, but what a splendid advertisement!—London Globe, Danger Be hi oil tho Boards. In many old country houses thoro are wide mouthed, discarded flreptaees thnt havo been walled in temporarily or permanently, not with brick and mortar, but with boards, Tho droppings of soot and ashes from tho flues of the chimney throat soon accumulate inn combustible heap on tho old hearth, liable, any hour, when thero is fire in any stove leading into the flue, to ignite by a falling spark or cinder and set lire to this woodon partition of a, perhaps, unused room, and the press haa another mysterious incendiarism to report The only safe way is to brick such (ire- places, or, if this Is impracticable, tho old hearthstone to be spared for occasional warming, its flreboard should be often removed and its walls and base stones brushed clean of soot and dust filled ashes, that are so readily ignited, else, somo night may find your home cremated.—Good Housekeeping. Itemedy for the White Grub.

Holes nre made in the ground Infested with tho grubs with one of the sharp iron dibbles used sometimes in transplanting smull plants, mii 1 the benzine Is poured into thorn. Fifty grains of benzine are used to tho 'square yard, and em'e is taken to insert it above tho piano of thc feeding ground of tho grubs. In an experiment recently mado by one of tho French forest officers, and reported at a meeting of the National Agricultural society, tbe grubs on twelve acres were destroyed at a cost of only $3.30 per acre,—New York Telegram. Men and Gloves. The American has no time to wear gloves unlesB for the purpose of keeping his hands warm. Even the "gentleman" outfora walk will carry his gloves in one hand when the air ts warm. There aro too many men in a hurry to permit tho glovo wearer to be us frequent a sight as the bare handed man. Men are careless, too, and others have white, tapering fingers that thoy want to show, or they wear big rings thut will not let a glovo go over them, while other men havo to wash their hands so often tbat gloves would bo a nuisance to tbem. Society plays and society novels always make their gentlemen fulfill all the requirements of the glovo code, but it will have to be some future generation that lives up to the mandate thereof.—Good Housekeeping.

YV'Sat People Eat and Drink at the Rig I5:ilis—The Luxembourg Palace. For a consideration of 100,000 francs per month, with houso rent free, and numerous perquisites, Mens, Carnot consented to assume tho responsibilities of chief of the French republic. Beforo fortune, more fickle in France than elsewhere, smiled on him, hts only inheritance was a good historic name— for bis father hud rendered the state trim aud laudable service—and his solo encumbrance a wifo and small income. Now, a grateful people allow him nearly $20,000 per ifcontb for his individual expenses, and a free list, suillcient to cover nil outlays for balls, state dinners and receptions. It presupposes unusual tact and strength of character to be launched suddenly from homespun to royal purple without displaying tb1? marks of birthright. No one in Europe receives more graciously than tho president. There is a distinguishing porsonnlity about him, whether clud in tbo regalia of the Legion of Honor, standing in tho midst of the distinguished men of France, or walking nbout t\\\\c grounds of tho exposition, conversing with tho workmen. Thero ia nothing striking in tbe foco; it Is the general bearing of tho man that impresses ono Ho seems to tho manor born. THE THESDENT'S RESIDENCE. Even though tho Elysue, erected by Molet in HIS, has counted among its residents the Comtod'Evroux, tho Pompadour, tho Duchess of Bourbon, Murat, Napoleon I, Louis Bona parte, Emperor Alexander I of Russia, tho Duko do Berry and Napoleon III, it may be reserved for Carnot to carve out a career of usefulness more enduring than any of these. Tlie palace ts separated from tho Champa Elysoefl by u large, well cared for garden, aud but for the memories clustering around it has nothing especial to commend it to tho tourist. Two sentinels from tho Garde Republican stand at tho main gateway, and but for this tho English embassy, a littlo farther down, might very well bo taken for the Palais d'Elysco. Tho internal arrangements were much improved under Napoleon III, but even yet tho homo of tho president is an exceedingly modest affair. There are scores of privato hotels In the immediate vicinity far handsomer In overy way. Tho largo drawing room is not as imposing as tho ono In tho White Houso, and the general reception rooms aro not as cheerful and bright as nro those of tho presidential mansion in Washington. Still, with an excellent service, a Quo larder, with tho best of wine cellars and a-good stablo, M. Carnot ekes nut a comfortable existence. Threo balls given during tho winter are paid for by tho city of Paris. To each ball from 4,000 to 0,000 invitations aro sent out. Motley is tbo only wear. Bacchus nnd Psycho aro tho Penates that grace tho open fireplaces of this magnificent building. Bacchus at tho last ball dispensed 00,000 glosses of beer, 1,200 quarts champagne, 1,800 quarts Bordeaux, 4,000 sandwiches, besides equally largo quan tities of turkoy, lobster salad, pate do foio gras, etc., etc. Psycho kopt tho young people actively employed until 0 in the morning, and tho chief of police, who snoozed comfortably In bis office, was not called upou to preserve tho peaco. Floquet, the Blaine of Franco, tho premier nnd chief of tho cabinet, receives a salary of 100,000 francs per year. In addition to this ho hns a Inrgo secret fund at his disposal, upon which ho can draw whenever ho likes. His drafts upon it aro largo and frequent. Tho president of thosenato has only a small salary, but in lieu thereof tho government gives him tlio Palace of tho Luxembourg to livoin. Up to Juno, 1701. when tho Count of Provence, afterwards Louis XVIII, left it, this hnd always been a royal residence, having been built for Mario do Medicis. Passing through various stages of stato prison, lu which wero confined Beauharnais, Josephine, Desmoulins, Donton and Robespierre —of tho Palais du Directorio, Palnis du Con- sulat, Palais du Senat-Conscrvatour and Palais du Senut, tho Petit-Luxembourg has bo- conio tho home of tho president of tho senate uutil Boulanger, with his war cry of rovislon, dissolution and constitution, shall create a now order of things. EXPENSES WIDER THE RErUBUC. Relatively, tho oxpenses have decreased very considerably under tbo republic. Tho civil list alono has been cut down 20,000,000 francs. Individual extravagance was much moro exaggerated under tho empiro. There was a centralization of wealth as well as of power. Now both wealth and power ore more evenly distributed. Tho general expenses of tbo country are, of course, larger, becauso tho general necessities aro much more urgent. But tho general expenses under the ropublie, hi view of tho general necessities of a largo standing army, an expensive navy, aro much less than were tho general expenses under tho empire, when such necessities were less widespread. Tho absolute governmental expenses hnvo been cut down ovor ono-quar- ter, for tbo budget is not handicapped with a long list of poverty stricken and dissipated aristocracy drawing enormous pensions. Tako tho Boulanger-Jacques political campaign as an Instance. Tho ontiro expense was covered by private subscriptions, not a penny being taken from tho public purse. Tho Republicans in behalf of their candidate, Jacques, expended 1,000,000 francs, whllo thc Boulangor clique paid out somewhat over twice that amount Thus nearly $600,000 was put hi general circulation In Paris, all of which camo from tho pockets of Republicans, Royalists and Imperialists. Tho empire encouraged lavish display among its representatives; tho ropublie enjoins modesty and economy. Tbo expenses of running tho foreign olllco have been diminished one-half. Tho general expenses of tbo war department aro large, becauso a staudiug army of tho sizo thnt today obtains in Franco necessitates tbo expenditure of largo amounts. Tho individual expenses of tbo general, staff antl lino offices are very much less than under tho empiro. Relatively speaking, tho budget is less than under tho empire, and I am not at all suro that it is not actually less, if wo add to tho necessary outlay tho Individual expenses of tho emperor's favorites, which wero paid for out of tho war budget,—Cor. Boston Globe. Death Rate In England. Tho death rate in England for 1SSS, tho statistics of which havo roccntly been published, shows tho romarkablo fact that it was tho lowest average sinco 1837, when tho government first undertook tho keeping of accurate records. In IS87 tho ratio of deaths was 18.8 to tbo thousand, and this was tho lowest known till that time. But for 18S8 a still better showing is mado, the ratio being but 17.8 to tho thousand. What this decrease in tho death rate moans can bo better understood from tho fact that moro than half a million persons wero alive in England nnd Wales at tho end of 1SS3 whose deaths would Ifavo boon recorded during tho eight years 18S1-88 had tho rate of mortality in thoso years equaled that which prevailed during tho ten years 1871-80.—San Francisco Chron- late. -Mtia-fg Street, East of Cairoll, Vancouver, B.
