She was very pretty—but there came a time when I don’t -think I eared in tiu* least for her beauty—her soul was so much more attractive than her l»pdy. She Avas no humble wild flower maiden, but a woman who had received a magnificent dower of blue blood, including talent and the high est attributes of character, and all that culture could develop in a beau tiful and intellectual woman was hers —all that wealth could bestow upon her site possessed. She had the good fortune to have no singularity of na ture, hut all was a symmetrical and harmonious whole. 1 loved her, and I possessed the humbleness of true love. The more intimately T knew her,*she made me conscious'of things that were mean in myself. Out of this feeling greAV jealousy of other men. A bitter jealously. She was of too sunny and generous a temper to pick for flaws, nor could she know a man as other men knew him. She could not understand that Dr. Cosgrove was irritable in private as he was suave and agreeable in public, and I would not tell her that Captain Langdale seldom pays his debts.They were but two of her many admirers, lmt they were both handsomer and- showier than myself. In time, I was miserable on their account. I cannot iioav, in cold blood, accuse her of coquetry; but Stephenie St. .lean was of 'French blood on her father’s side. Besides speaking that language perfectly,she had the French woman’s secret of fascination. A trifle more in vivacity, when sur rounded by gentlemen, made her ut terly irresistible. 1 saw and felt the charm, and could not content myself with the thought that in the quite hours we passed to gether I knew myself dear to her. Many a winter evening had we sat together on the little velvet sofa be fore the drawing room fire, secure from intrusion, her beautiful head resting on my breast, content in her eyes, happiness in her smile, And yet swearing her to be the proudest and most delicate of women, I was madly jealous of other men. For months I would not see her alone. She was one of a large family, and she had a favorite cousin, Lily Lawton, who was her constant com panion. She was very young, and a bright, sweet, little tiling; but of late she had seemed drooping, as if ont of health, and Stephenie hail been unusually protective and kind. For Steplienie’s sake I often took Lily out to drive, though her exceed ing simplicity .often bored me. I eould not but wonder that Ste- phenie associated with her so con stoutly; but Lily worshipped her magnificent cousin, and the latter de lighted in being kind to those weaker than herself. “Kitten,” she called Lily, and there had been something especially kittenish in the girl’s round bright gray eyes, and playful, grace ful ways. Her special charm was gone now. She was a pale, faded, spiritless little thing. Stephenie kept her constant ly under her wing. “Kitten must have green fields and pastures new,” she said. “The May suns are "getting strong, and I, too, long for a country trip. We are go ing to Branch ville, and shall bp ab sent a week. Mind you are a good l*oy till we come back.” i smiled, but on the wrong side of niy face. “A week ?” I murmured. “A week and one day,” she laugh ed. “I shail be gray-headed when you come back,” I said, smiling at my own vexation. -She laughed more gaily than ever: then a shadow fell over her face. “It is for Lily’s sake,” she whisper ed. “Look at her.,” Lily lay in a hammock on the pi azza, her hands lying listlessly in her * a Pi not a shade of color in her cheek. The thought came to me that the child was bouud for the land of shad ows. “8he must have help soon,” said htephenie. “Yes,” I auwered. t saw them off in the morning train p,Bitten with her cheek on Stephen- !? 8 shoulder. I carried the picture neynmde before my eyes all the eek—my magnificent generous bru nette supporting the failing strength of that pale, fair-faced child. And I had never loved her better in my life than in this new phase. A week anil a day Stephenie had said; therefore I had no expectation of seeing her, when, at the end of five days, 1 entered the drawing room of her father’s residence to find an opera glass I had left there. I had told the servant at the hall door what my errand was, and that I knew just where to look for the glass But on the threshold of the apart ment my steps were arrested by the sound of Stephenie’s voice. A rush of delight went over me. I was about to spring forward, when I discovered that Stephenie Avas seated in the alcove of an inner room be side a gentleman. I stood irresolute. A curtain of blue silk fell across the upper part of the figures, hut upon it their shadow’s lay as they sat against the sunny window beyond and plainly outlined Stephenic’s beautiful head and Capt. Langdale’s profile. I aid not mean to be a listener to their conversation, but as I demurred about going forward I distinctly heard Stephenie say: “I love you utterly, with all my heart. I am not ashamed to say this, because you will never see me again.” She continued talking, but her voice fell to a low monotone, and I realized my position and stumbled backward out of the room and found myself in the street, going dizzily home. Like some hunted thing I rushed to my room and hid myself from all eyes. I remember throwing myself upon a couch and then starting up and walking the room, looking at mypale tace in the glass, taking up booksanil opening as if to read them, doing all sorts of unintentional things in a me chanical way, trying not to think of the revelation tliiat had come to me, because it seemed I should go mad if I did. But a haunting voice was crying in my ear, “Stephenie— lost Stephenie!” “No, no, she is mine!” I cried, in despair. “I have loved her so long ana so well, and she is my only dar ling! What could I do without her? Oil, God! what can I do?” For the truth would not be gain said, and must be faced! With mine own ears I had heard her say to an other man, “I love you,” and what I may have murmured in moments of impatience, I knew in my soul that Stephenie St. Jean was no coquette. Capt. Langdale iiad been ordered to his regiment, and she had probably returned home to hid him farewell. A soldier’s life is always in peril, and in the moment of parting Stephenie had confessed to him what I had nev er suspected. Heaven know s that I had no rea son: and I had good cause to think differently. She had never plighted her troth to me, hut by w r ord and look and sweet privileges she had ac cepted my love, and I had such utter faith in her truth that the possibility of her deceiving me had never occnr- red'to my mind. The, warmest an^ tenderest intimacy'existed between us, and yet she had never given her promise to marry me. - Sick at heart, I realized it now, re viewing the past in the hateful light of my sudden discovery. I was a lawyer, and in the long hours of that utterly sleepless night I studied the case untiringly as if it had not been my own. It was not a matter of mistaken identity. Leaving oat the considera tion that my heart would neA r er in this world mistake Stephenie’s voice, I distinctly saw the outline of her bust, and her dress, revealed below the curtain, was very familiar to me. It was a cream colored silk, trimmed with black lace. On her foot she wore a pretty black satin shoe, with a silver buckle, and the instep showed a cream-colored stocking, embroider ed with silken buds and vines. The dress and stocking, with its embroidery, were all of the same tint and the whole costume revealed but two colors—cream and black. As she sat within the blue curtain the artis tic effect was very beautiful. Ah, no! it was Stephenie, peerless among women, and in heartsick mis ery I at length gave up the lost cause. - The gray daw n was stealing in at my windows, its sweet breezes bath ing my aching temples, when I sat down at my desk and penned my farewell letter: “Stephenie—I cannot trust myself to see you again. I am as w*eak as a child, and worn out with such suffer ing as I pray you may never know. Inadvertently, yesterday, I heard you confess your heart to Captain Lang dale. I heard you say that you loved him. Then you do not love me! God only knows how utterly I believ ed you did, and what fervent grati tude and happiness there was to me in that Belief. Oh, my darling! how could you let me wreck my heart on the shoals of your mere careless lik ing? I w as only a congenial friend, a pleasant companion. Your heart was liis; and yet—farewell!” This passionate, incoherent letter I directed to her, then called my valet. “Pierre, pack some trunks. We will go down to Black Rocks for the summer.” The man stared. “Pardon, Monsieur, it is very dull dow n there. No gunning, ho fishing, and no young ladies !” “And' consequently no waiting maids for you to ogle!” I answered, with a dreary attempt at ease aud lightness of spirits. But the fellow still looked at me. “Monsieur looks very ill. I will bid the doctor call on you, and if he consents we will go to that horrid place to-morrow.” “Nonsense! I shall be well enough after a bath and some breakfast,Don’t be impertinent, Pierre. We start on the 10 o’clock train.” Black Rock was not frequented by fashionable society; this was my only reason for choosing it. The Neptune House, where I took up my abode, was a large, rambling, old-fashioned inn, not the least in the world like a modern sea-side hotel. My valet, of course, arranged all the conveniences of my life; conse quently I did not know the dark- skinned old woman who one day presented herself at the door of my apartment, with a long covered bas ket upon her arm. My man was dusting a coat upon the back of the piazza. “There is some one at the door, Pierre,” I said to him as I sat at the window witha book which I was not reading. “It is the w’asherw’oman. She is a very nice laundress, Monsieur.” “Yes,” I said, indifferently. “Pay her.” He received the curiously covered basket, settled the bill, aud the w o man departed. Pierre prepared to arrange my nnen by opening a bureau drawer. I turn ed a page of my book as he withdrew the white cloth from the basket,when my attention was again arrested by his exclamations: “Mon Dieu! Laces, ruffles.” “What is the matter, Pierre ?” “These are ladies’ things. Here is a wrapper with fluted ruffles, white skirts, and—ha, ha!—embroidered 7 stockings. Mees Betsey, Mees Bet sey, come back.” He dropped the basket on the floor and rushed after the old woman. I glanced within and saw a mass of snowy lace and embroideries, beauti ful as a bed of lilies. The clothing was too dainty and expensive to be long to any but a lady,and I wondered idly w r ho the owner might be. In one comer was a pile of hosiery. The stockings were not all white—one E airwasof cream color,with asilkem- roidery of buds and vines; and while I was carelessly considering how r and where such exquisite needlework was done, the thought flashed across me that I had seen that very pattern of silken rosebuds on Stephenie St. Jean’s foot. My hand trembled. I dropped my book as Pierre came rushing back with the panting old woman. “Yes, I have left the wrong basket. The other, outside, is yours, sir. Hope you’ll excuse me. I’m getting old and forgetful.” “Stay!” I said, breathlessly, “Whom are the lady’s things for?” “For the young lady down stairs wiio came last week, sir—Miss. St. Jean. I’ll take them away directly “ Unheeding the wondering eyes of the two, I snatched up a handker chief on which I saw a name mark ed. Yes, it was “Stephenie !” I grew faint and turned away to Hide lTiy emotion. My band shook as I snatched up my hat and rushed out of doors. The sun was setting across the wa- ter. The wave danced blood red in its light. The air had groAvn cool, and a pair of singing shore birds flew before me as I sought a favorite seat of mine, retired among the rocks. I had not composed my mind,Avhen there Avas a rustle of silk, and a soft hand Avas laid oil my arm. “Forrest!” “Stephenie!” “You know I am here now, and so I haA r e come to speak to you.” She sat down close beside me, fa cing me, her aim across my knee, her clear eyes steadily meeting mine; and before she spoke a Avord, I took that fair hand tenderly, feeling that she Avas to be restored to me. ,‘Forrest, I have been here a week, Avishing to see you, yet repelled by your determined seclusion. If the old woman called Aunt Betsey, Avho frequents this place, had not told me to-night that accident had reA’ealed my presence to you,I should have lost My last remnant of courage, and re turned t home without speaking to you.” “What have you to say to me now Stephenie ?” “You OA’crheard me talking, as you supposed, to Capt. Langdale, Forrest. I Avas reading a letter.” “A letter?” “IhaA’ea startling story to tell. Listen. All the spring my cousin Lily’s malady had seemed strange to me. I could not understand her loss of strength and color, until I learned by occupying the next apart ment to her at Branehville, that she spent her nights in Aveeping. While I wondered that she should have kept a secret trouble from me, and per plexed myself hoAV to gain her confi dence, I entered her room one morn ing,and found it to be full of a strange sickening scent, while Lily lay sense less upon the bed. She had taken an opiate powerful enough to produce death, and upon the table lay two letters. One W T as addressed to me, the other to Capt. Langdale. “As soon as I had procured assist ance, and a physician’s help had saA r ed her life, I read the letter the poor child had addressed to me. Poor Kitten! her heart was breaking, for she had set it upon one friend,and she believed that he loved me. I am speaking of Captain Langdale. He is handsome, gay and debonaire, and the poor girl believed him necessary to her existence. So she confeesed to me, yet her heart seemed to hold no bitterness for her supposed rival. ‘She had always loved me, she said, and I was more worthy of her hero. But she was so pitifully mis erable, poor little thing! Well, I considered the matter carefully. I Avas only an hour’s ride from Captain Langdale, and resolved to see him. Lily was sleeping a restorative slum ber, and I could go to the city and re turn in about three hours. I did so. When I reached the depot I sent a carriage for him to come to our house. He came and read the letter. Our soldier has a tender heart; he was affected to tears. He gaA’e me the letter to read, bidding me to read it aloud. As I did so you entered and heard the words which so mis led you. ” Her eyes were swimming as they met mine; but after an instant she went on: “Capt. Langdale showed deeper and more delicate feeling than I had supposed him capable of. ■‘ ‘If little Lily thinks such a ha rum-scarum fellow as I am Avortli dy ing for, I ought to make myself wor thy the blessing of such love,’ he said; and added: ‘I will give myself to Kitten to-morroAV, if she wants me, and I Avill be a better man than I ever have been, for her sake.” “So,” said Stephenie, brightening, “there is to be a marriage in early au tumn, My Lily is quite happy in the prospect of sharing a soldier’s life, fand—and”—blushing radiantly, and flashing one beauteous look into my eyes—“there may be a double wedding, if you please, dear.” I tell my wife my happiness was saved by such a fragile thing as an embroidered stocking—certainly for this world, and, I believe, for the next. The U|ht House. The watchman at Calais light house was boasting of the brilliancy of his lantern,which can be seen ten leagues out at sea, Avheii a visitor said to him: “You speak Avith enthusiasm, sir, and that is well. I like to hear men tell what they are sure to have and know; but what if one of the lights should chance to go out?” “Never! never! Absurd, impos sible!” replied the sensith’e watch- man, with a sort of consternation at the bare supposition of such a thing. “Why, sir,” he continued, and point ed to the ocean, “Yonder, where nothing can be seen, there are ships going by to every part of the world. If to-night, one of my burners were out, within six months would come a letter perhaps from India, perhaps from Australia, perhaps from some port I never heard of before—a letter saying that on such a night, at such an hour, at such a minute the light at Calais burned dim and low; that the watchman neglected his post; that vessels were consequently put in jeopardy on the high seas. Ah, sir,” ana his* face shone with the intensity of his Brought, “sometimes in the dark nights, and in stormy weather, I look out upon the sea, and feel as if the eye of the whole world were look ing at my light. Go out? Bum dim? That flame nicker low or fail! No, sir, never?” “Captain,” said a son of Erin, as a ship was nearing the coast in inclem ent weather, “have ye an almanik on board?” “No, I haven’t.” Then, be jabbers, we shall have to take the weather as it comes.” X.U OHTA', BI T NICE. She stood beside my high-backed chair, Her curls against my face. And turning round to see me fair— My A’ery thoughts to traee— She put a dimpled hand in mine, To hide it in a trice, And blushing just a little, said: “X really think you're nice.” 8uch words a heart of ice would touch, . . . Aud melt away in bliss; . In fact I think I said as much. And hinted at a kiss. The winsome maid began to pout. To seem a trifle sad— “That's very naughty, sir," she said, “And now X think you’re bad.” I told her, while I clasped her waist, Where iong dark tresses curled, I Avould not have her love displaced, No, not for all the Avorld; And kiss without her sweet consent, I never, never would— “I’ll tell you when you may,” she said, “Aud now I thfnk you’re good.” She stood beside my high-backed chair. Her curls against my face, And turning round to see me fair— My very thoughts to trace— I took her dimpled hands in mine, Like cunning little mice, And kissed her—when the maiden said, “It’s naughty, but it’s nice.” —A good thing to put in practice— A young lavvyer. —Is lie coming home?

But it don’t make any difference. I voted for the other candidate, anyhow.” Seeing Marriage with Different Eye*. What friendship is in its degree, so is marriage to a still more striking extent. We sometimes see the sweet est and dearest little woman married to a bluff, burly, cross-grained fellow, Avho goes through life like a perpetu al thunder-cloud from which the slightest shocks bring angry splut- terings, sullen murmurs, and nery outbursts, destructive of all peace and comfort. Yet Titania worships her rough-skinned treasure; he is her “gentle joy” to her, and she finds her happiness in wreathing garlands for his long-eared head, and in idealizing him—dull as he is—till she has made him into a god by whom all men HMghfrtake a pattern. Her sistei mar ried to Hyperion, as good as he is beautiful, and as clever as he is good, finds her lot in life is a hard one, and thinks every wife is to be envied where she is only to be pitied. She talks feelingly of the dreadful pun ishment which falls on women who make the one great mistake of their li\’es, and waxes eloquent on the sin of parents in suffering their daugh ters to marry before they know their own mind or those of the men whom they take for better or worse. Her eyes fill up vvitb tears Avhen she speaks of Titania’s happiness, and Iioav good and kind, for all his rough exterior, is that long-eared Bottom of hers, who shows his rough side to the world but keeps only his down and velvet for home. And then she sighs and looks out into the distance as one whose heart is full of sourness, and Avhose tongue might say bitter things if she would, but she will not. If unhappy, she is loyal; if unapprecia ted, and not fairly dealt by, she un derstands the holy reticence of mar tyrdom; and though her marriage has been a mistake, she will make the world the confident of her griefs. Nevertheless, she gives the same world clearly to understand that she is unhappy and has been taken in, and that man, Hyperion does not come near to Bottom, and Titania is to be congratulated, while she is only to be commiserated. This is glamour in an iirverted form—glamour dealing with poison not ambrosia, but quite as general as the other, if somewhat more distressing.—[London Journal. Bloody Brother*. Louis Fey, brass finisher, and Ru dolph Fey,' an iron moulder, were brothers, and lived with their mbther in Ncav York. Louis drank a good deal of whiskey and did A’ery little work. Tavo months ago Rudolph told him that he was a disgrace to the family. Louis then left the house and said he would never return again to trouble them. Lately, one - even ing he came in Avet, and cold, and AA’orn, and hungry, and sleepy. His brother Rudolph had not returned froiii Avork, but his mother took pity on him, warmed and fed and put him to bed for a good night’s sleep. Presently Rudolph came home, and seeing a strange pair of shoes at the fire drying, asked Avhose they were. His mother replied that they belonged to Louis who was up stairs in bed asleep. Ru dolph took a flat-iron ip his hand and went up-stairs, saying that he would attend to “that drunken loafer.” He roused Louis and asked him what he was doing around there again. Louis said that he thought he might have one peaceful night’s sleep in his mother’s house, and he got up and commenced dressing him self to go. Rudolph taunted him about his drunkenness and worth lessness until he could stand it no longer. Then he dreAV a knife and commenced to stab his tormentor furiously. This was more than Ru dolph expected from the aroused and maddened underling. While he Avas being stabbed he managed to hit Louis on the head with the flat-iron, Avhich knocked him doAvn senseless. Then Rudolph went doAvn stairs, fainted and fell from loss of blood. He was taken to a hospital and the physicians say that the stabbing Avill prove fatal. Louis was arrested for killing his brother. He shoAved no grief for the act; on the contrary, he seemed to rejoice th at he had taken such ample vengeance for long-suffer ed Avrongs Chinese Funeral Notices. On the death of any parent, it is customary in China, at any rate with persons above a certain rank in the social scale, to forward to all friends and acquaintances, however slight, a formal notification of the fact, Avritten in mourning-ink, and on mourning paper of portentous dimensions. On the present occasion, this document (in Avhicli, be it observed, the family name of the parties, iShcn, is omitted) ran as follows: “Be it known that the unfilial Pao-chen, who, on account of his manifold and grievous crimes,was worthy of sudden death,has not died, and that instead, the calamity has fallen upon his Avorthy father; upon whom the reigning Emperor of the Ta-Chung [lit. great pure] dynasty has conferred the first order of rank in the Civil >Service, and that in the Imperial Body Guard, and the gov ernorship of the Province of Kiangse. In the tAvelfth year of the reign, styl ed Tao-Kuang, at the competition of the literati, he gained the rank of Chit-jen [that is, M.

He was born about two or three in the morning of the ninth moon, of the fifty-second year of the reign, styled Chien-Lung, and was therefore somewhat over eighty-four years old.

I pleads guilty if yer don’t make it more’n two years in de pen.” The prisoner was sentenced accor dingly, and the young lawyer tallied one more lost ease.—[Pittsburg Com mercial. —The United States now use more postal cards than any other nation. mao a. b itbie is. A Sketch of the Marshal’* Latest Choice tor Brest deat of the Couaeil. Paris Oorrrespondence Few York Times.] Ailselme Polycarpe Batbie was bom at Seissan, Department of Gers, on the 31st of May, 1828. He studied law, and after a brilliant competitive examination in 1849 Avas named Audi tor of the Conseil d’Etat. In 1852 he he was named Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Dijon, but was soon after called to the Faculty of Toulouse. In 1857 he was made Assistant Professor of the Law School of Paris, and in 1862 he was named Professor of Administrative Law. At the same time he gave a course of lectures upon political economy, and the broad liberalism shoAvn by him soon attracted atten tion. He obtained a prominent place in the Faculty, and Avas \ r ery popular Avith the students. He did not oppose the Empire in an open manner, but contented himself with sly hits at it, after the manner of M. Beule in the School of Beaux Arts—hits loudly applauded by the students—and kept himself aloof from politics. After tne reA’olution of the 4th of September he ran for the assembly in his native de partment, and took his seat among the Monarchists on the Right. His profound knowledge of laAv, the au thority with which he spoke and his habit of speaking soon made him one of the most prominent men in the Chamder. Besides, he is one of those very large, ponderous men, of the Dr. Johnson type, avIio impose their opin ions upon other men with a seeming facility. One day he was named re porter of a reactionary measure, and some curious revelations were made. It was found that the Batbie Avho had ostentatiously held himself aloof from politics was the same Avho made rev olutionary speeches in the “Red clubs of 1848. He then declared that the Monarchy was overturned for ever, and that “henceforth the orily possible legitimate government in France Avould be the Republic, the irrevocable fruit of the revolution just accomplished.” This was in 1848, when everyone Avas more or less car ried away by the revolutionary ideas of the day; and besides, Batbie was then a young man, and young men are nearly always naturally carried away by extreme Ropubliean theories. They have faith in themselves and in hu manity ; they honestly believe that there exists a perfect theory for the transformation and perfection of man kind. Alas! when years roll over their heads they learn by experience, by treason and treachery, by innu merable chagrins and disappoint ments, that the errors of the Avorld cannot be corrected in a day, and that time is required for the perfecting of humanity. Batbie ended his revolu- tionary speech by clying: “Vive la Republique.” In the reA’olution twenty years later he Avas one of the strongest enemies of the Republic. His experience is that of thousands. M. Thiers, at the commencement of his Presidency, Avas exactly like Bat bie. He had begun his career with reA’olutionary ideas and had come to believe the Republic impossible. At Bordeaux he had not the slightest idea of founding the Republic in France, and as the laAv professor’s ideas Avere similar to his own, he made M. Batbie a member of liis Cabinet. The Hercules of the Gov- ernment had great weight and au thority up to the day when Thiers once more came to the conclusion that the Repnblic Avas the only form of government possible. In the end he fell from power, distrusted alike by the Repulicans and the Monarchists ; but he Avas always a moderate man, and noAv the Marshal is trying to form a Cabinet of moderate men. Payment or Bonil* in Silver. Courier-Journal.] Hon. Stanley Matthews made a A’ery strong, logical and unanswerable speech to-day (loth) in support of his resolution declaring that the bonds of 1870 are payable in gold and silver coin, at the pleasure of the United States. This Avas Mr. MattheAVs’ first public effort in the Senate. FeAV members succeed so Avell in their first speech. His deli A’ery Avas marked by good taste, and Avas cool and com posed. His A’oice easily filled the Chamber. The argument was -close and compact, and so clearly presented as to elicit a very fair share of the at tention of the body. Mr. Matthews took strong grounds for restoring the old silver dollar. His speech greatly annoyed and disgusted Messrs. Ed munds,Morrill anil Conkling, the lat ter of Avhom offered an ingenious amendment, designed to embarrass the resolution and break its force by sending it to the President for signa ture. Mr. Thurman easily and ably exposed the trick of Mr. Conkling. The resolution Avill probably lead to an interesting debate to-morrow, and be brought to a A’ote. Its passage - by a large majority is deemed certain. The silver bill Avill also be debated this Aveek. The best policy now seems to be to favor the bill reported by the committee, as the one most likely to pass over an executive veto. Mr. Matthews’ speech to-day showed that he Avas his OAvn master and the representative of the sentiment of the great West, instead of being a mere mouthpiece of the President and Sec retary Sherman. Schenrli’s Mandrake Pills Will be found to possess those qualities necessary to the total eradication of all bilious attacks, prompt to start the se cretions of the li\’er, and give a healthy tone to the entire system. Indeed, it is no ordinary discOA’ery in medical science to have invented a remedy for these stubborn complaints, which de velop all the results produced by a heretofore free use of calomel, a min eral justly drerded by mankind, and acknowledged to be destructiA’e in the extreme to the human system. That the properties of certrin vegetables comprise all the A’irtues of calomel without its injurious tendencies, is now an admitted fact, rendered indisputa ble by scientific researches; and those who use the Mandrake Pills will be fully satisfied that the best medicines are those provided by nature in the common-herbs and roots of the fields. These Pills open the bowels and cor rect all bilious derangements without salivation or any of the injurious effects of calomel or other poisons. The secretion of bile is promoted by these Pills, as will be seen by the altered color of the stools, and disappearing of the sallow complexion and cleansing of the tongue. Ample directions for use accompany each box of pills. Prepared only by J. H. Selienck & Son, at their principal office, corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, and for sale by all drug gists and dealers.

Manes of New Haven, Connecticut, has hit upon a plan which meets every want of shipwrecked people. His boat consists of a hollOAV globe, ballasted at the bottom, so that it can never capsize even in the roughest sea. This boat has compartments for water and provisions, brdl’s-eyes, a porthole for hoisting signals, and a double hollow mast for supplying fresh air, and for carrying off that which has become vitiated. It is, in fact, a gi gantic bulb about the size of the ball of St. Paul’s. The apparent difficulty Avould be Avhat to do with it when not in use. Utilization of Wave Power.— An invention Avas inspected last week designed to take advantage of the enormous force of waA’es for the pro pulsion of vessels. This has been tried before but never with success as to secure its general adoption. Mr. Henry Gerner, the inventor, has a Avorking model oh vieAv in Barclay street, N. Y., and to all appearance the machine needs only to be applied to a large A'essel to assure its success. The pitching and rolling motions of the vessel are both utilized to revoh’e an ordinary screw propeller, and the gearing is so adjusted that the strain is regulated for storm or calm, as the case may be. The Placing of Windoavs. There are three practical considera tions that influence the placing of AvindoAVs in any building. These are —their use in lightingand A'entilating the building, constructive conveni- ence, and architectural effect. They are all legitimate and important con siderations, in their due order, in Avhich of course the first is the chief. He takes a foolish part who essays to determine a question of windows without regard to them all; but there are limits within Avhich each may reasoably yield to the other. In rooms which are to be used as sitting rooms or liA’ing rooms,especially Avhere there is any view to be seen, it is a crying fault to set windows so high that people in their chairs cannot look out of them Avith comfort. But in places set apart for special services, as churches, or where any occupation Avhich requires concentrated atten tion is to be carried on, the case is quite different. In a room that is to be used only for study and Avriting, the important requisites are that there shall be plenty of light, that it shall come from the proper quarter, pre ferably from the left hand, and that it shall not be too low, These condi tions secured, we should be inclined to say that between three feet and five, the latter Avas, on the whole, the better height for the windersills in a school room. The light that coines in beloAV that leA’el is not serviceable, and there is no reason for tempting either teachers or scholars to turn their attention out of doors. The limit, hoAvever, is one within which architectural effect may reasonably be alloAved to rule.—American Archi tect. The Phonograph.—Mr. Thomas A. Ediion has astonished the scien tific Avorld by the announcement of a mechanical device whereby words spoken into a mouthpiece are perma nently recorded on a strip of paper. So far there is nothing especially startling, but the process works both ways, as it Avere, and the strip of paper when it is again passed through the machine reproduces exactly all the original sounds. The device is simply an arrangement of vibrating plates. The discOA’ery is made known through the Scientific American, Avhich duly credits it Avith wonderful promise for the future. Not only is the human A-oiee, Avith all its tones and inflections, put upon record for future use, but music can be perfectly recorded and preserved in like man ner. If one of these instruments had stood in the Roman Senate chamber Avhen Ciesar delivered the oration against Cataline Ave could to-day pass the strip through the machine and hear every word, settling forever the vexed question as to the proper pro nunciation of Latin. The invention is still in a crude state, but the fact is regarded as settled that it Avill record and reproduce sounds as Ave have stated. The invention is unlike the telephone, but may be used in con nection with it. The possibilities of such a discovery are sufficiently sen sational. If Ave leaA’e wholly out of sight the probability that what is said to-day may be repeated a hundred years after the speaker is dust, and consider only its relations to present eA’eryday life, it is evident that a revo lution may result. What is the use of writing letters if by talking into a mouthpiece at a strip of paper Ave may prepare all that we Avish to say for the mails without the intervention of of pen and ink ? The telephone was wonderful in its day, but the phono graph threatens to overshadow it. A Neav Academy.—Dissatisfaction Avith the National Academy of De sign has been growing for years, and not Avithout reason. The tendency of such organizations is to fall into the hands of elderly men, who naturally discriminate in favor of their own artistic circles to the disadvantage of younger men. Old academicians have been heard to aigue that the pioneers of American art should have ex-officio privileges, no matter wheth er the rising school is encouraged or depressed. That they should have privileges is well enough, but it is certainly wrong that by the exercise thereof younger artists should be hin dered. A resolution was last year passed granting eight feet “on the line” in every exhibition to each academician, no matter what is the quality of his work. In view of the trash which some academicians are capable of painting this was an un wise proceeding. The result of the dissatisfaction promises now to be the formation of a rival society, compos ed mostly of young artists, which will have an exhibition of its own. O course such a society will make blun ders at the outset, will find that all its pictures cannot by any possibility lie hung “on the line,” and will bring a storm about its ears by rejecting or accepting work that somebody will think should have had different treat ment. Nevertheless,the establishment of such an organization is an encour aging sign of the new artistic era that is dawning for America. May the new society have the best of luck in its undertaking.—Christian Union. HUMBER IJi BALLOON right Between Hemven and Earth.
