Some of the French journals treat the reports of the alarmists about war with Germany as unfounded, and others con sider them exaggerated. All are confi dent the czar is in favor of peace.

Ann Eliza, the seventeenth Mrs. Brigham Young, has come to grief. Chief Justce Lowe has practically re versed the decision of his predecessor Keene which awarded her $500 per month alimony. The new jndge de rided that as there could have been no legal marriage, there could be no legal divorce, and hence no alimony. The Russian government, it is re ported, has become convinced that Tuikey has neither capacity nor right to exist aqy longer as a state. This is no novel conclusion. All the great European powers feel the same way, but not one of them will dare become a Turkey gobbler, because it means a general European war. Chinese cheap labor is not all that Koopmansohap has painted it. ‘‘The Chinese tailors of Ban Francisco have strqok, i&dfhate pJnauiDiB# through out the Chinese quarter, offering a re ward of $400 for the killing of any boss tailor who won’t, pay the wages de manded, and an additional reward of $300 for the killing of any tailor who consents to w money.

Mezzotmto owed its invention ny Prince sinner* to the simple accident of a. sentry’s gun- barrel being rusted in the dew, Henry Sohanward, a Nuremberg glass-cutter, happened to let some aquafortis fall upon his spectacles, and noticed the S asB was oorroded and softened where e aquafortis had touched it. Tak ing the hint, he made a liquid accord ingly; he drew some figures upon a piece of glass, covered them* with varnish, and applied bis corroding fluid, out away the glass around bis drawing so that when he removed the varnish the figures appeared raised upon a dark ground, and etching upon glass was added to- the ornamental arts, Alois Senefelder, playwright and actor, thinking it possible to etoh upon stone in lieu of copper, polished a slab for the purpose. He was disturbed by his mother coming into his small labra- tory with tho request that he would jot down her list of things for the wash, as the woman was waiting to take the basket away. There being no paper or ink handy, Senefelder scribbled the items on his stone with his etching preparation, that he might copy them at his leisure. Some time afterward, when about to clean the stone, he thought he might as well see what would be the effect of biting the stone with aquafortis, and in a few moments saw tna writing stand out in relief. Taking up a pelt-ball charged with printing ink, he inked the stone, took off a few impressions upon paper, and had invented lithography. TLa pelt- ball used by Senefelder was long in- dispensible in a printing office. A Salophian printer, in a hurry to get on with a job, could not find his ball, and inked the form with a piece of soft glue that had fallen out of the glue pot, and with suoh excellent results that he henceforth discarded the. peit hall altogether, and by adding treacle to the glue, to keep it from hardening, hit epon the composition of which printers’ rollers have been made ever ■tod* -• i -■ - -|i~i — t~ FACTS AND FANCIES, a aldea ?

Revival of the Iron . Trade, ' / It is poor consolation in adversity to kno w that we are not alone' iif our mis ery; such as it is, however, our iron manufacturers may take it to them selves. The depression of the iron trade is general throughout the world. This state of things is partly the result of an unfavorable condition of the gen eral industry of the manufacturing na tions, causing a diminished demand for whatever involves a consumption of iron, and more expressly it is the con sequence of a severe check upon rail road construction and the building of iron vessels. As the iron trade is de pendent upon a thousand other indus tries and subsists upon supplying the instrnments of industry and commerce,, its present condition is the most ex pressive oommentary possible upon the state Of business among the commeicial nations generally. The only cheering faot discoverable in this unsatisfactory aspeet of things is that the iron trade of England begins to show distinctly defined beginnings of a recovery. The reduction in the price of iron is grad ually increasing the demand for it; and now the cheif obstacle to a steady re covery appears to lie in the stubborn re fusal of the workmen to accept the wages that employers consider the changed state of things calls for. This i« a difficulty which, from the necessi ties of . tlio csss, cannot ba prolonged much further; and its settlement must be in favor of the manufacturers.—New York Bulletin. —" Arrah, me darlint,’’ cried Jamie O’Flannigsn to* bis loquacious sweet heart, who had riot given, him an op portunity to get in a word edgewise, during a two honre’ ride behind the little bay nags in his oyster wagon; "are ye aftherknowin’ why your cheeks are like my ponies there? ’: ,J‘Shure and it’s because they are red, is it?” quoth the blushing Bridget.

It was a mar riage ae convenance. “ Oh why should a fellow feel sad When it’s easy enough to-feel gay ? Oh, why should he go for to die When there’s overy.mducement to star ?’’ —An English justice fined a boy ten shillings for whistling while a clergy man was passing the gate, and that's the sort of a little man John Bull is. If the boy had been humming a tune he’d have probably been executed. —A genius thuB defines the difference between men and women: "A man gives forty cents for a twenty-five-cent thing he wants, and a woman gives twenty-five-cents for a forty-cent the thing she does not want.” —It must be rattier binding on a man one hundred and ten years old to pick up his favorite paper in the morning and find a quotation like this in the leading editorial: “The good die young ; Bat those whose hearts *re jitj Mfi. summer dust .

' , —The Parisians say that they have had enough of the high heel boot fash ion for ladies. They assert that it flings them too much forward, hints the spine and reduces the size of the calf. The doctors recommend the reverse fashion, very low heels indeed, and high soles, for a time, so as Jo fling the body backward from the hips upward. -Prof. Huxley, Dr. Sanderson, Mr. Darwin, and other eminent biologist, intend to petition parliament on the subject of vivisection, in case it comes up for discussion. While they are anx ious that useless cruelty should be prevented, they are extremely desirous that no obstacles should be placed by legislative aotion on research, and these views will be embodied in the petition. —"There is a dog.” This trivial phrase was used by an instructor of actors in Paris as the vehiole of an im portant lesson. He taught them to give it in the sense of various impres sions, as, fear of the dog, love of the dog, contempt for the dog, astonish ment, regret, etc., and so exhibited that it mattered less what words an actor had to give than how he gave them. , \ -Bald-headed men are only living a i;ttl i in advance of their time. Accord ing to Darwin, we are indebted to our frisky ancestors, the ape, for our hair, and men with long beards and prolific scalps hive no reason to feel that they are particularly superior to their less lovely fellow-men.
