I shall come and thank you and we will celebrate your “golden wed ding." Your affectionate son, Rooaas." They hesitated no longer, and the next day everything was sold for cash except ono old donkey whose skin was nearly hair- leas. The doukey was not sold because it would not follow its new master.

They had been able toserqe togethir 28,000 francs, and to her great regret The resa had been obliged to leave behind her crop of pears which was still on the tree. They went away together at nightfall, Blowly dragging their heavy feet on the ground on which they had crown old. They did not dare to look arbnnd, ashamed as they were of their Borrow, since their Bncriflce had bronght back the life of their child. They could still see the steeple rising through the twilight, and each, without daring to tell it to the other, thought sor rowfully that a few days later the bells were to ring for them for their “golden wed ding." They halted near a shepherd's house; a covered wagon stood near by in the medow, an old abandoned wagon, left to fall to pieces becanse it was no longer of any nse There were a few sheaves in a neighboring field, nnd with u great deal of trouble tho old mun carried them into the narrow wagon. Without saying a word the two old people stretched tbemaelvos npon the hard straw, but without closing their eyes, without be ing able to forget their misfortune. The next morning at daybreak they went together to ask for work nt a farm where they were not known. A pretty girl, with robust arms, burst ont in laughter on see ing them. Really, what did they want, (he poor old creatures. They understood that they were useless, went back to the old abandoned shepherd's wagon which had given them shelter the night before, aud hand in hand they again stretched themselves upon the straw nnd dosed their eyes. Bnt hunger tortured them and they be came delirious; the balls! the bulls! they cried in their delirum; but no one heard them, and after a while their voices were silent. Bogers arrived In time for the ‘golden wedding;” the price of the old home and vineyard hud saved him; he had specu lated with it and had won 100,000 francs, lie returned to Avignon joyful, but it was not for a golden wedding that the bells rung, it was for a funeral. His parents had been taken from the wagon in which they bod perished, and the celebration was postponed to another scene. THE WONDERS OF INDIA. RUSSIA'S RULER. Tho Candidate. Sir William Jones and others who havo written ahoutlndia, said that the ' Code of Uonn,” which is a Hindu code of laws of a wry early period, is a monument of the high civilization of the Hindus in a romo.o antiquity. But some say that an older In dian text-book is tho Apastsmba. So far back as this we find many ideas of law and lolitics that were supposed not so very ong ago, to be peculiar to this civilized nge. Suits at law were then allowed to he began by attachment of the property of the defendant, which is a procedure now in vogue in some of onr States, and which was regarded once aa a moat excellent English proceeding. Jury trials also were known before the invasion by the Moham medans. Village lands were held on com mercial terms. Eiphinstone, and other writers, bestowed great praiae on these communities, o filing them “tenacions little republics that have survived the storms of conquest and the mutability of human affairs.” In the year 952,'A. 1)., or there abouts, the Moslems invaded Indio, and fonnd it even then fall of wonders of art, literature and architecture, and the snbse- qnent rulers increased the number of their relics. So that at a time when England was in a dork and barbaric state, this far away land had already began to decline. One of the first undertakings of a Moham medan viceroy of India, named Kuth-ud- din Albok, was to level the gorgeous tem ples and palaces of the Hindus in Delhi, and to build from those materials a great Vphiu Bravery of the Itomunorr*— Perioral Points About the Czar# New York Time*. I doubt whether Alexander III. would greatly regret his throno were he to be quietly deprived of it. Not that he leads such a miserable life, in constant fear of assassination, as he is reported to lead. The Romanoffs are brave by nature, and the present Czar is no exception to the rale; and then the huniaD animal is so consti tuted that he gets used to almost everything under the snn, even the most relentless per- seention, unless his mind gires way under the stress. Bnt the tastes of the Czar are of the simplest, nnd none of the appendages of royalty are necesnary to aatisfy them. The favorite recreation of tho Czar consists in wrestling with his brothers, of whom Vladimir and Alexis can well match him in herculean strength; his food is of the plain est, his amusements are rosipid to a degree. At the favorite resort of the Imperial conple in the palace of Gatchina the Czar sur rounds himsslf with a dozen or so of liis favorite noblemen, and they pass aU the evening in placing cards at reasonable stakes and smoking cigarettes, entirely un restrained by the presence (of the Empress and the Grand Dnchessess some of whom frequently smoke also All floors being made in the Russian fashion of inlaid oak, tho Czar and his part ners often forget to avail themselves of ash- holders and throw the half-finished cigar ettes about them on the boor. The Em press is as fond of dancing as ever, and fre- qaent impromptu hops aro gotten np for the gratification of this taste of hers. She has a great influence over her spouse, bnt does not care to nse it in any important matter. She is possessed of remarkable tact and much natural cleverness, bat she is entirely too frivolous to derate more than a passing thought to the condition of the peo ple who surround her. The Emperor and hia wife are quite ex. emplnry in their family life, and are really fond of their numerous children nnd at tached to the old servants of their house hold. Were the Czar simply a country gentleman of Russia ho would be happy nnd contented, respected by ail and blessiid by many. As it is, however, his slumbers must often be troubled by the nightmare of a possible revolution. His attention is constantly called back to tho fate of former monarchs, and this is not unreasonable, either. It is firmly believed by many thnt were Russia—at the presont timo of general discontent prevailing in the country—engaged in a great European war, and were she to be found on the losing side, tho house of Romanoff would be shaken to its foundation. Thence—as many well informed persons opine—pro ceeds the aversion of Czar Alexannor to en gage in a great war; yet, himself being of tentimes nnable to control his temper, he may go tho extremity of declaring war with Austria or any other power on the slightest provocation. Scarcely more satisfactory is the condition of the country were there eventually to be no war. The eourtry is positively devoured bv its enormous stand ing armies; it would be almost cheaper to fight, and the people know it, POISONOUS WALL-PAPER. mosqne, for the worship of Allah. This he called “the strength of Islam." And in this structure he pnt a now famous tower (A. D. T2iHi) colled the “tower of Kuril," It stands there to-day, a magnificent struc ture, covered from bottom to top with a band of clearly cut arabesque. The builder died from the effect of a hurt receivtd in the game of polo, whioh had been long known in Cashmere. So that even in onr games we cannot clear off oar debt to the past Later on another emperor who hail a favorite wife, built in her honor a vast palace called the Taj Mahal. It is a most besatifol building, admired today by all alike. Some Frenchman onoe said it needed only a glass case. It has also been called a cream in marble.” When the English entered npon the con quest of Indio, they opened hoarded treas- ureres of Mohammedan rulers which daz zle the imagination and almost defy com petition. After some of their battles they socked royal treasures, nnd many English fortunes rose on tho ruins of those owned by Indians. An idea of the magnificence of some of these raters may be gained by reading Tav ernier's estimate of the value of the jewelry worn by one at .a public andience, and of bis throne. He says It was worth easily 120 millions of French livres; the throne being of solid gold incruated with precious stones. Aud the residence of the celebrated Akbar, who wss abenificent monarch, baa been described in these words: There wss a vast quadrangle raised npon a living rock, and hounded by clouten of which the south wall is 70 feet from the base to the parapet This is en tered by a gateway 130 feet high. On the west is a great mosqne, one of the finest in the world. The palace buildings extend, at the back, to a distance of half a mile. In its original condition its effect wss peculiar and aplendid. On the north aide, waa a gieat lake with pleasure boats, and on the east was a park inclosed by towered wails. The summit of the great rock in the centre glittered with marble kiosks, red-stone gal- leries, and enamelled roofs. The courtyard bad fountains and gay awnings. The baths were of pointed stneco, and the dwellings of chiselled freestone, while the porticoes gleamed with gilding end fresco pointing, and were hnng with brocaded silk. Here the great Abkar lived. Botthepen falls down in the weary task of -numerating the magnificent details of these ancient days. A Trio of Dims Novel Header*. OnusavnxK.

Finally a chemist suggested arsenic us tile cause of the trouble. His suggestion whs at first lightly treated bnt ho became so' convinced that he was right that he was permitted to test the paper which ornamented the walls. Tho paper on every wall contained arsenic, the hall, study, and chamber Urge amounts and the dining-room an unusually large quantity. Arsenic wss also fonnd in the dost from above the door of the dining-room. Of five “oariridgo" papers examined one was fonnd to contain the slightest trace of arsenic, the others bsing free. Of tour frieze*, til con tained and soma of them large amounts. Of ten other papers, pronounced by the dealers to be absolutely free, only ono waa fonnd to be actually so, while two contain ed considerable amounts.

A Whole Family Doomed to Destruction— Providential Escape from Poisoning. ■ A Detroit special says: Mrs. Elizabeth Girardin, widow of the late Captain Girar- din, of the police force of this city, lives with her family of seven children at the corner of Mt. Elliott avenue and LaFayetee street. There is nothing in tho quiet life of Mm. Girardin that wonld lead to the light est suspicion that Bhe had ah enemy in the world. Her acquaintance i are few, and, in the main, are comprised within the neighborhood. Yet, by the merest ucci dent, a terrible plot to poison her family waa discovered yesterday, and the particu lars given to the police today. The p«Lo_. was contained in two cans of strawberries received from an interior point in Michigan, January 15, from a married lady who livee there, bnt wild very frequently sought Mrs. Girnrdin's protection from her husband's cruelty. The husband of the lady wonld sometimes follow her to Detroit, and at other times would send her threatening letters. These threat* wonld include Mrs. Girardin. One time he threatened to blow them np with dynamite, bnt they regarded it as an idle threat and paid no atten tion to it A few days ago this lady went to Bay City, and on Jannary 15 Mrs. Girardin received a package of c .nned fruit from the house of her friend, and, aa she did not know that tbe latter waa in Bay City, concluded it waa from her. Two guests dropped in to dinner yesterday, and Mrs. Girardin told the servant to open some of this fruit. The servant had the habit of sampling food in advance of the family, and to this habit Mrs. Girardin, hex seven children and gneata owe their lives. Ho* after eating a small quantity of the frnit the girl was taken very ill and her life was barely saved by antido.es. The fruit was to-day anbmiUed for analy sis to Dr. J. E. Clark, who reports that the two cases of strawberries opened contained enough arsenic to kill thirty man. The theory is that tbe hnabaud of Mrs. Girar- din'a friend thought his wife had, aa usual, gone to Mm.

Quito a touching stoiy of devotion comet to me from Paris, write* a correspondent of the Chicago Time*. Not long ago the husband of a lovely little woman whom he bad but a few weeks before led to the altar, aaw her safe into a carriage in which she was setting ont to make some calls. Bhe was the very light of his eyes, nnd they had spent few honrs apart Bince their w. i- ding day. Imagine his state of mind whon, late in tho afternoon, she was brought home senseless and utmost un recognizable. Bnt I most go back a little. The horse that drew'the carriage slipped in rounding a corner, the vehicle tnrnea over, and the face of its occupant was terribly mutilated with broken glass from the win dows. W hen the crowd which soon sur rounded the carriage had extricated the poor little prisoner, sbo was taken insensib'e into tbe shop of tbo nearest chemist to have her injuries examined. Tbo cuts and scratches were dreadful, hut the worst was a gash from mouth to oar, from which a long piece of torn Ucsh hung. The poor cnemrst seemed to have lost bis head at the sight, for instead ot sewing the piece in place again he cat it off, and, seeing that the patient remained unconscious, be washed hia hands of her as quickly as pos- sib'e, aud saw her driven off in a cab to be taken home. The doctor who is called in breathless baste exclaims npon tbe bntchcry of the chemist's surgery, and says there is nothing to he done bnt to take a piece ont of the arm of tho poor victim to supply the place of that which the chemist had so stupidly cut off. But the balf-frantic husband will not bear of it, and, taking off his cost and baring bis arm, offers it to tbe doctor, and bids him ent from that, and not touch her with his knife. "Bnt," says tho doctor, one ■ mutilated person is enough in s fam ily, my dear fellow. Besides, the pain would ho horrible." However, the young, heroic husband stuck to his point, and. It is said, went through the operation with a smile on his lips, remarking that they vowed to have all things in common, pains as well as joys. Tho doctor did his work deftly, tbe traces of his needle are already faint, and he says that when tbe healing process is complete there will scarcely be a visible trace of the terrible accident.

The Republicans will meet to-morrow morning, bnt will not have a working majority. About oil the Democrats have left for their homes to-night end it is donbtfnl if any of them will respond in tho morning. It is suggested that the only course to be punned is to adjourn from day to day, and compel the attendance members. It would be lm- posdble to proceed to consideration of I contest 'sues in open Senate, unless the Lieutenant Governor should hold that in | consideration of these case*, seven-1 teen Republican members constitute* a majority. —John Kelly bos pnt many personal ram- ini- cnoeaintoa hlston ‘ : Au.crican i !i- GROCERIES!
