There are in Paris few popular women unknown to me." 4c Aiuf*,-e His manner was now decidedly conj" ceited, and I felt disgusted. My coldness evidently repelled him, for he soon left me. by the ear*.. Afterwards I heard from others accounts of the late tragedy. & CO. Among the details of the affair was one which peculiarly impressed me? flp.qj t and which my first informant had not .Uhlol . spoken of?an oversight which surprised me, as the occurrence he had &N. not mentioned was of that kind which ? ? ? 1-1 ?M Afil 1?1?

Hi Jfcvi I ingly upon the pretty lady passengers, while stroking his whiskers, with one if the white hand, upon the middle finger of which was a superb diamond ring, .?..p. - I am rather of a suspicious nature, WJliLL which, combined with a lively imagina> tion, had often led me into singular They we errors. Now, a strange impulse moved me to r/*"fc>lo, I advance and Hold out my nana to me i man whom I had involuntarily disliked Wat.-r can i.? i from tjie jn or(jer that I might amf.uic.vs ' iiave a chance to glance' at his ring. ] Somehow, the idea possessed me that I 1. or to should discover a chariot-wheel device icnt Agent, j upon the glittering bauble. The stranger did not at first recog; nize me. He soon did, however, and frankly eiteuded his left hand, which was not the one containing the ring. , S. C., My brain fairly reeled ; the man's E behavior was a confirmation ?f my suspicions. ' "The other hand, if you please," I P , said, in a low stern veice.

He, '"r'ui however, opened his right hand, as if perfectly willing for me to shako it if I EH, ! chose to. Then I had a good look at the ring, 1* and felt ashamed of my suspicions. i The device was a common heart, which I certainly bore no resemblance to a chant, | chariot wheel. After a general conversation to recover my self-possession,I tnrned away, resolved in the future to have a better Jfldent opinion of my fellow-creatures. The stranger's good looks seemed to PER, I attract the attention of a good many of lit the ladies. One especially, a modest4 the low rate joking little thing attired in block, kept directing furtive glances at the EAR* handsome passenger. Finally she glided so close to him that in turning j lie brushed against her. DENT, An apology, smilingly received by the knn&h, Ga. little lady, a remark about the weather _ _ oil the part of the gentleman, and the \S, tvo were soon conversing with animation. Meanwhile the blushing cheek pairer. :l"d bright eyes of the fair one Beemed to betoken that she was well pleased etar* Fr*m? with her companion, whose air was reeto e more conceited than ever. " I am afraid we shall have a storm," she remarked, pointing toward a dark clotid npon which the captain of the boat was gazing anxiously. " We may, Dut do not be alarmed, madame." With an air of nonchalance he pnlled a red cigar-case from his pocket and asked his companion if she objected to smoke. Then he started, and quickly returning the red one to his pocket pulled forth another of a bine color. "How many segars do you smoke in a day?" inquired the lady, evidently amused at the sight of two cases. "The other colored, and it struck me that his Voice slightly faltered and his hand trembled as he made some laughing ret>lv. Boon the Btotm came pouncing down upon us. We were midway; m the Channel, so that we caught the full force of the sea and gale. Both were terrific. The sea awept the hoat, whioh lay so far oVei that her maehineir was soon damaged so that it would not work. The wind, screaming like a aemon, threw her over still farther. Suddenly we observed the sailors endeavering to looseh a lohg-bpat oh the davits at the stehi. Meanwhile there was an ominous grinding, smashing noise wider the counter. The truth eorildjhot be concealed; we wfere sinking. The ladies screamed; the handsome passenger lost his self-possession, and ran hither and thither. The cool behavior of the little lady in black contrasted strangely with the agitated demeanor of those around her. There she stood calm and immovable, her bright steel-blue eyes flied ttpoa the handsome strange^, of tfhofil she did not lose sight for a moment. " Keep qniet, ladies and gentlemen!" pang out the captain?"Keep quiet, and don t crowd around the boat so I There will be room in it for you all; and, besides, there is a schooner coming to our assistance," pointing to a vessel blowing towards ns before the Wihd. There was, however, a paniS among those addressed. The moment the boat was lowered, into it they all bundled, among the number the handsome passenger. A huge sea coming along, roaring like thnnder, parted the tacklesj tearing the boat from the steamer before the lady in black or I could enter it. The handsome passenger, losing his balance, fell over the gunwale, and being unable to swim wildly threw up his arms. I jnnst acknowledge that I was so engrossed with the perilous situation of my fair companion and myself?now the only two left abdArd the steamer? that I paid little attention to the drowninnr man The steamer was, in fact, going down fast?was already nearly engulfed inthe stormy waves, her heated and halfsubmerged boilers hissing as the steam came gushing out like the spout of a whale. I was advancing to throw an arm around the little lady, fearing to see her washed away, when, quietly motioning me back with one hand, she seized a coil of rope and threw the end to the handsome passenger. He caught it, when, turning to me, the lady requested me to help haul the man aboard. I complied, marveling at the love and devotion thus shown by a woman to nn acquaintance of an hour. His power over the female sex must be great, I thought. He is conceited, but not without reason. The idea flashed clearly across my mind in spite of my danger. The schooner, however, was very near, and I had every reason to believe that we should be picked up. I was right. We were all taken aboard the schooner, the handsome passenger among the rest. Then the lady in black pulled forth a revolver, pointing it at the head of him whom she had rescued. " Out with that red cigar-case !" she said, sternly. "I would like to see what monsieur carries in it." " Why?why," stammered the stranger ; " what is?" Before he could say another word, the little Amazon thrust her disengaged hand in his poeket, pulled forth the rad cigar-case, and opening it, a ring dropped to the deck. The ring she picked up, and holding it up before us all, exclaimed? " I have found it at last. The jeweler assured me it was the only one of the device in Paris?a chariot wheel! This person is the murderer of the Countess de Marville ! " The handsome passenger stood as if frozen to the deck, making no resis tance as ine iaay in uiuck tuippeu u pair of handcuffs over liis wrists. " By what right," ho theu stammered, " do you " Hepaused as the other threw off her dress and false hair, revealing the person of a slender man with delicate, girlish features. " I am Jean Mosoueau, the detective !" he quietly remarked, " and I robbed the sea of this man that the scaffold might not be cheated." There is little more to odd. The main proof having been obtained, other E roofs on the prisoner a trial were rought forth, showing him guilty beyond doubt. Long before his execution his name was ascertained to be Louis Rosseneau, a noted adventurer and gambler, who, however, by cool effrontery and a winning address, backed by his good looks, had been enabled to move among the first circles of Parisian society. Saint Fanny. Saint Fanny wab a notable housewife. Her house was a temple of neatness. Kings might have dined upon her staircase. Now, her great delight wastoprov'd. all things comfortable for her hus oand, a nardwormng mercuam, mucn abroad, bat loving his home. Now, one night, he returned tired and hungry, and by some mischance there was nothing for supper. Shops were shut, and great was the grief of St. Fanny. Taking off a bracelet of seed pearl, she said, "I'd give this ten times over for a supper for my husband." And every pearl straightway became an oyster; and St. Fanny opened, and the husband ate. and lo! in every oyster was a pearl as large as a hazzel nut; and so was Saint Fanny made rich for lite.?Douglas JerrolcCs "Firtide Saints." n il Spongers." Unfortunately, a large class of people merit this name) and are not troubled with a Consciousness of deserting it, either. The social sponge is generally , a pleasant, affable person, always ready to do yon, his " most valued and esteemed friend," a good turn, provided only he can manage it at some one else's expense, and without pecuniary or other inoonvenience to himself* He dobs this upon principle, for, argues he, "one good turn deserves another," and this turn when rendered he carefully posts to your debt with interest Compound and double Compound, and fails not to remind you ever and anon that the balance of yqpr account is on the wrong side. As We have said) our friend is not over particular in what way ne obtailis the heedful; and if jtotl gate him the opportunity he would not scruple to use the engine of the law to pump it out of you. Beware, therefore, of snpplving the handle to the pnmp for the law to work the golden stream full upon his absorbing self. Our cadging friend views everything in ah eihihehtly practical manner. Number one is with him the first iaW of ha ture. Take fill von can get, and give as little to possible. " Thfpw a sprat to catch a mackerel." "Bold 'ft4** th^t which is good, eschew that whioh 16 evil "?that is to say, that which is no good., These are favorite axioms of his. ion ate gfedetotlc; well, doesn't he praise yon for it, and land yon to the skies as a jolly good fellow ? He robs yoh rifcht arid left?hot in a legal sense to be safe, bfct he fobs *oti none tlje less; yon abnse him proportionately and he cries " quits." Clearly nothing more than an ordinary business transaction: who, then, epi say that onr friend is not an eminently practical man ? As for him, he gives away nothing, and is aerenely happy in his selfishness. "Well, perhaps it is better to be like hiin than to give just for the sake of display that which you begrudge. But, oh ! take care, you hardhearted, selfish, despicable Sponge, lest the time should come when the press of circumstances will squeeze your ill-gotten gains out of yoti. You may then as lief eXpect the earth to split in twain as that any of your former well sacked friends will extend yon a helping hand. Light Cares. # What a pity 'tis that young married folk will not emulate the example of Japanese hottsck&epers! They are troubled very little by household cares. A few mats, a chest of drawers for clothing, two or three quilts for a bed on the floor, some simple kitchen-utensils, and their houses are furnished. They have never known the uso of a bedstead, a chair, or a table, as we understand these articles ; and yet, these people have all the virtues of civilization, and perhapB not quite all its vices. They are polite, generous, hospitable, I perform their religious duties with ex- ! emplary piety, and, if cleanliness is next to godliness, they are ranch more godly than we "are, for they are the cleanest people on the earth, according to the general testimony of travelers. Wo have certainly mnch to learn before our houses can be as immaculately neat as theirs are. The habit of doffing street boots and assuming slippers before entering a room does much towards keeping houses cleaner t than our own. A poor Japanese housewife really enjoys more ease, after her simple duties are done, than many of our wealthiest dames who are weighed down with the cares of an extravagant establishment. And aft far young peoplo just entering life?compare their lot with that of the people under discussion, and, if an ease-loving person, you will soon render a verdict in favor of Japanese housekeepers. A Pilgrimage to the Holy Land, A numerously-attended meeting of prominent Catholics interested in the projected pilgrimage of American Catholics to the Holy Land was held at the house of Archbishop McCloskey. Brief addresses were made in advocacy of the proposed pilgrimage, "and offers of material aid toward the realization of the project were freely made. A suggestion that a few pilgrims, pioneers of the movement, should take their departure within the coming two weeks, met with much favor. Archbishop Mc Closkey, however, stated that it would be better to defer the matter for some time, and urged that there were various reasons which rendered delay advisable, prominent among them being.the fact that were the pilgrims to depart within the next two weeks, there would be no possibility of apprizing the Holv Father, so that they might start with the advantages of the pleunry indulgence. After considerable discussion it was finally determined not to take any active measures looking toward the immediate carrying out of the idea for the present. From what transpired, however, it was evident that before long a procession of Catholic pilgrims will take their departure from our shores. Wages Abroad. Sixty cents a day is considered good wages for a workiugman in any of the European countries, except Great Britain, where the wages are somewhat higher. In the Tyrol silk region and in Italy they often do not get more than ten cents. In the country in Germany ten cents is the common pay. Women 11 Km* flwa oonffl Tn Stpp. mere uiicu uuv uw M..v den men often work from four o'clock in the morning till nine in the evening, and do not get more. Daring the late war many poor women in Berlin were hired to knit stockings for the soldiers for five cents. The profit of the poor who keep petty shops, sell trinkets in the streets, or act as suttlers do not average more than three or four per cent Barbers in Berlin, since the raising of their prices, get five cents for hair cntting and two and a half cents for shaving. Servants at hotels get from thrive to eight dollars a month. Servant girls in private families often get but ten dollars a year. Sometimes these olasses cannot get work at any price. Jfewgate Prison. How Criminals Arc Treated In Kn| land-Mark Twain's Last dokc. An American lady, who was bein siiotfn throtigH aire of the shows c London?Newgate?tlifl other day, e: pressed herself rather forcibly to th warder concerning several features < the prison which hardly appeared t her hnmane. She was grieved to se the elaborate and new machinery fo holding prisoners tight while thevai dogged with the cat, stocks for holdin their feet; and similar arrangements fc the body and hands. The lady aeke where the thumb-screw was. The ware er innocently replied that they hadn any. However, he must afterward have pondered more profoundly ov< the sardasm Of the inquiry, for more r< cently another American ladj,' upo giving expression to a similar feelin abont the resuscitated stocks, wi sharply told by the warder that the had managed to get along there withoi flogging for many | years until sou Americans came over and began to gai rote the citizens, and this was found I be the only way of dealing with thee The lady replied that it must hai been because the English came on and took away their business, sin< American prisons were full of Englisl men. "However," she Sdd?d; we don't to ture them." On coming to the small alley in whic eiecilted criminals are buried, th lady?who is a go&d Quaker-*-shudde ed at that, ana the waraer ram t ' Yon will notice here that ours is great improvement oh the Americs plan.

" "Will thee be good enough to tell n the name of tho American gentlemi I who made that remark to HlCe 1" sa the Quakeress. "Ah, yes," said the warder, refle tively; " let me see?it was a Mr. Ma; Twain."? Cor. Cin. Commercial. To Cnre Cancer. Cuncer has fallen into the hands such stupid, reckless quacks, says D Lewis, that it is very difficult to spei of it with patience. I will give you case which I think resembles yours, slight, pale mother of forty-eight di covered a small tumor, in which si frequently experienced necdle-lil pains.

He thl proceeded to inform her that for thr hundred dollars, half down, he won cure her. With great difficulty, and great sacrifice, sho raised the mone and put herself under his treatment.

In every case of ca cer, it is not the tumor, but the com tion behind the tumor, and which pi duces the tnmor, which is to betreate It ^is very doubtful if the knife or ? arsenic plaster ever vet cured a canc< while there is no doubt that a ve large majprity of the cases of cancero tumors mav be cured or entirely t rested, and brought within safe limil by the following management: 1.

The Effects of Worry. ? ,U1 That the effects of worry are more i o be dreaded than those of simple hard work is evident from noting the classes ad of persons who suffer most from the effects of mental overstrain.
